057: People are not as good as heaven

But soon Chang Xi smiled bitterly. She was not happy to see this scene, because she didn't want to show this kind of thing to others too quickly. After all, her original background was too low, and many things could not stand up to scrutiny, and were too unnatural.

, will suffer backlash.

She drew it out as a plan, and it had to be done after she had established her footing. Now the plan was obviously disrupted.

It's really unlucky that it happened that Jie Yuxin knocked over the pile of papers, and she happened to pick up this one.

"Ms. Chang, what is this for?" Jie Yuxin pulled Chang Xi back to sit on the Arhat bed with excitement on her face, obviously wanting to have a long conversation, "I think your painting is very detailed, but I can't see it.

use."

Chang Xi has never been one to get entangled. Now that something has happened, she has to find a way to steer it in the direction she wants, so now is very critical.

So she smiled and said, "This is a bit long to say."

"It doesn't matter, I have a lot of time." Jie Yuxin obviously has the kind of temperament to say whatever comes to mind. If you were an ordinary person, you would definitely think twice about what Chang Xi meant by what he said. Do you not want to say it?

Chang Xi gradually understood Jie Yuxin's character traits, so she ordered Dongli to make two more bowls of tea, and then looked at Jie Yuxin's maids. She didn't want too many people to know about this.

Jie Yuxin, who had always seemed a little dull, suddenly became enlightened, and then turned around and told Zhiying, "First, take the people to the small garden outside for a walk."

Zhiying was aware of her girl's temperament, so she didn't say anything more, but looked at Chang Xi one more time, and then left with the others.

Chang Xi also sent Dongli and Xiaotao out to accompany Zhiying to visit the small garden.

Seeing Chang Xi's attitude, Dongli and Xiaotao mistakenly thought that Chang Xi sent them to see Zhiying and others. After all, Mrs. Chang still wanted to make money, so naturally she couldn't let too many people know about the business opportunities, so they readily agreed and followed.

He also withdrew.

As soon as they got outside, Dongli took Zhiying aside to talk. The two of them were old acquaintances, so naturally they had something to talk about.

Xiao Tao greeted the second-class maids brought by Jie Yuxin. She herself was promoted from the second-class maids, so there was no shortage of topics.

After clearing out all the idle people, Chang Xi said, "To be fair, Miss Xie, this is the guy I will eat in the future. I don't even know how many hairs I have turned gray because of this."

Jie Yuxin looked at Chang Xi's black hair in surprise. Where was the white hair?

"Ahem, cough, cough." Chang Xi coughed a few times, and suddenly felt a bit like a chicken. This means that the third girl really doesn't understand people when she doesn't understand people. She is most afraid of dealing with such a fool.

Jie Yuxin smiled awkwardly, knowing that she was a little distracted just now, "Ms. Chang, the Jie family does not lack the money to support people."

Forgive her for not fully understanding the meaning of Chang Xi's words.

Chang Xi continued, "Miss Xie San, I am not from the Jie family. Strictly speaking, when the time comes, I will leave."

Only then did Jie Yuxin remember that the other party was the wife-in-law, and she was not her ninth sister-in-law. When she thought about it, she somewhat understood why Chang Xi said that before.

Now she looked at the drawing in her hand, and immediately understood the weight of it, and immediately swore, "Ms. Chang, don't worry, I will not tell anyone about this drawing, otherwise I will be struck by five thunders from heaven."

…”

Chang Xi interrupted quickly, "Miss Xie San, there is no need to swear. Don't I still believe what you say? This is not an important matter..."

Jie Yuxin smiled and finished the rest of the oath, "I won't die well." Then seeing Chang Xi smiling helplessly, she explained, "You let me finish, so that I can feel at ease."

, I’m really curious about this thing.”

Chang Xi pushed the tea bowl towards the other party and then said, "This thing is actually used to make tea bricks." After a pause, "Tea bricks and tea cakes are not a rare thing since ancient times. There are tea bricks and tea cakes left in the Tang Dynasty.

In the world, later in the Song Dynasty..."

At this point, she almost blurted out the dynasty rhyme she had memorized in her previous life. Fortunately, she reacted quickly and hurriedly switched to the Shun Dynasty in this time and space. "Later, the Shun Dynasty developed it and made tea bricks and tea cakes with camellia oil.

Then coated with precious spices and ointments, this is their wax tea, I don’t know if I’m right?”

Jie Yuxin used to think that Mrs. Chang was just studious, but now she realized that she had really studied the book seriously and even remembered what Shun Shi had casually recorded.

"Ms. Chang, you really amaze me."

She didn't notice this when she was studying history. After all, she never cared much about eating and drinking. "But what does this have to do with the fact that you spent so much time designing this?"

Chang Xi asked back, "I wonder if Ms. Jie San has noticed whether tea bricks and tea cakes are now available?"

This time, the question came to her mind. She tilted her head and thought about it for a long time. Fortunately, Chang Xi didn't rush her, so she was allowed to think.

After a long while, Jie Yuxin shook his head and said, "I don't remember it."

Although the Jie family's food and clothing expenses are not as good as those of the dignitaries in the capital, as a wealthy family in Yiyang City, what good things has she not seen?

It’s true that she has never seen tea bricks and tea cakes. If Chang Xi hadn’t mentioned it, she wouldn’t have even remembered that there was such a thing?

Chang Xi got up and went to get the travel notes that she had bought for three taels of silver before, and then opened a certain page and pointed it out to Jie Yuxin, "At the beginning of the founding of my country, Taizu, there was still Tuan Gong Tea as a tribute.

Later, Taizu realized that this was a waste of money and people, so he ordered the tea making to be stopped and allowed loose tea to be used as tribute."

Therefore, in the Daewoo Dynasty, tea bricks and tea cakes were no longer popular, and gradually they were available in the form of loose tea. This was why she met the foreigner James on the street that day and bought tea to be dumped in Britain, and she discovered that it was still possible to make tea.

Making a fuss.

Of course, I am also glad that I was willing to spend a huge sum of money to buy this travelogue. The author of this travelogue is so interesting. He likes to write with divergent thinking. He not only writes about the landscape, humanities and history of each place he visits, but also expresses his own thoughts.

Opinions and insights, in short, she can find a lot of sources to support her ideas.

Moreover, the book becomes more and more interesting the further you read it. He actually wrote from reality to fantasy travel to various overseas countries. I wonder if he wanted to write more words and sell more money?
