Aunt Zhang whispered to someone: "Perhaps Zhu Ruizhi stole this high-ranking official who looks very noble and majestic. Maybe he came here to ask for someone from that girl Xu."
The people next to her were a little confused: "What do you want me to do?"
"Of course I will buy it back and become a slave."
Aunt Zhang said with a nose and an eye, "You don't know, I followed my daughter to Zhang Yuanwai's house in the town. There are many slaves in his house. It's really like the life of a great master."
Many people actually believe such rhetoric.
The grandfather and grandson who were already sitting in Zhu's house knew nothing about the discussions outside.
Mrs. Xu was Zhu Ruizhi's mother. She didn't know what he had committed, but judging from the old emperor's clothes, her worries were consistent with Aunt Zhang's.
Zhu Ruizhi climbed up to the eaves and took out his treasured tea leaves to boil. Facing the old emperor, he felt timid for some reason.
When the boiling water is boiled, the curly tea leaves spread out and float up and down, and a faint fragrance of tea fills the air.
"This is local tea from Zhujia Village. There are very few tea leaves on the mountain. I picked it and dried it in the early spring."
Zhu Ruizhi poured tea for the old emperor with a very respectful and serious expression, "It's not as good as the tea from the high officials, so you'll just have to make do with it."
The old emperor smiled and took a sip. The mellow and fragrant tea flavor spread in his mouth, leaving a fragrant aroma in his mouth. He praised: "This is good tea."
Ji Ruobai also took a sip of tea out of curiosity. His eyes lit up and he said with a smile, "It's indeed good tea."
"Officials, my Ruizhi has offended you." Mrs. Xu said anxiously, twisting her clothes with her hands and looking haggard.
Ji Ruobai had been with Ye Fuxun for a long time, and he could tell at a glance that Xu was sallow and anemic due to lack of nutrition all year round.
The old emperor said: "No, I fell in love with this little brother, so I wanted to come to see him at home. I heard that Ruizhi's father is a teacher, and he is also very spiritual, so he should be sent to study."
Speaking of her late husband, Mrs. Xu couldn't help crying. She hurriedly raised her sleeves to wipe them clean, fearing that she would be rude in front of the old emperor.
"Your Highness, I am a woman who has been bedridden all year round, and even when I eat and drink, I have to be careful."
Mrs. Xu swallowed even more, "Let alone study. As a mother, I have a very big responsibility for putting Ruizhi into this situation. I also want him to study and get fame in the future, but there is no money at home."
Zhu Ruizhi quickly glanced at Xu. He had never heard these words from her before.
The old emperor understood, and asked again: "What does your village mainly rely on for a living?"
"I guess the officials came all the way to see the melons in the fields, which are for sale."
Xu said, "There is also cotton on the mountain, waiting for merchants to harvest it. If no merchant comes to harvest it that year, the cotton will be accumulated at home and there will be no money left."
The old emperor thought thoughtfully. To put it bluntly, the information coverage of Zhujiacun was too narrow, and there was no way for outsiders to get in here.
If he wanted to bring wealth here, the old emperor looked at Ji Ruobai, and they all thought of one person.
Capital City, Imperial Palace, Fengluan Palace.
Ye Fuxun was sitting on the beauty's couch, drinking passion fruit tea leisurely.
As for this passion fruit, she accidentally discovered it when she went hiking. It was regarded as a poisonous wild fruit by the villagers, but in her eyes, it was a treasure.
Passion fruit is sour and sweet, just like the taste of Ye Fuxun.
The orange grapes she likes are sweet with a bit of sourness, which suits her best.
"Your Majesty, this fruit called passion fruit has a very strange taste and is too sour. Why do you like eating it so much?" Cillo said very puzzled from the side.
That day, she and Ye Fuxun went to the mountains to pick passion fruit. As soon as Ye Fuxun saw the fruit, he spent the whole morning picking it, prompting Ji Yannuo to go out in person to find someone.
This huge commotion alarmed the nearby villagers. Seeing that Ye Fuxun liked the wild fruit, the villagers all helped pick it.
Ye Fuxun took a sip of passion fruit tea and squinted his eyes in enjoyment: "After you eat a few more, you will know how good this passion fruit is."
She also added dried chrysanthemums and honey to the passion fruit tea, which needs to be brewed with warm water and drank until it is extremely warm in the stomach.
"In this case, I really have to try again, slave." Xi Luo said with a smile. She looked at the five or six baskets of passion fruit in Fengluan Palace, and her head was a bit big.
It was too much. She couldn't imagine how she could finish eating so much.
Then she really underestimated Ye Fuxun.
After Ye Fuxun drank a large cup of warm passion fruit tea, she sat up from the beauty couch, rubbed her belly and stretched with satisfaction: "After eating and drinking, it's time to work!"
Nianyun went with King Chang'an, and Xi Luo was the only one beside Ye Fulun. The maids all wanted to become the second-largest maid around her.
As the saying goes, there is strength in numbers, so those who cut the fruit must cut the fruit, and those who dig out the fruit must be in an orderly manner.
Ye Fuxun poured the pulp into a glass bottle, then added honey and a few dried chrysanthemums, and sealed it immediately.
She filled a dozen bottles in a row and said with some emotion: "It's a pity that there are no lemons here, otherwise this incomparable whitening passion fruit honey tea would be amazing!"
Someone quickly reported Fengluan Palace’s actions to Ji Yannuo.
"Your Majesty, the Queen is making trouble again. Everyone in Fengluan Palace is making a kind of tea called Passion Fruit Tea." The person under the Chief Manager reported in Jinluan Palace, still a little confused.
Ji Yannuo gave a helpless and doting smile: "Whatever the queen wants to do, let her do it. If there is something you can't get, try to find ways to satisfy the queen."
Eunuch De and the chief manager looked at each other and both agreed.
Passion fruit tea, which everyone thinks is a joke, appears in Ye Fuxun's newly opened flower and fruit tea shop;
At first glance, the name Fruit Tea Shop makes people wonder what it is.
Ye Fuxun was well prepared. She caught the number one scholar, Yan Ruyu, as a gimmick, painted and inscribed it, and distributed it to everyone like leaflets for later generations.
It also stipulates that the first 100 people to go to the fruit tea shop to drink it are free of charge!
What's even more amazing is that Ye Fuxun linked passion fruit tea to beauty and whitening, and all the ladies in the capital came to buy it.
On the first day, thousands of bottles of passion fruit tea were all sold out.
In addition to passion fruit tea, the flower and fruit tea shop also has various dried fruits that Ye Fuxun has dried long ago, as well as various eye-protecting and beauty-beautifying tea bags.
For example, chrysanthemum and wolfberry are packed into a small package, dried mulberries, lotus leaves, chrysanthemums, Luo Han Guo, etc.
For each type of flower and fruit tea, Ye Fuxun has provided a detailed introduction and function, and specially prepared a booklet. Anyone who wants to know more about it can read the booklet.
Flower and fruit tea nourishes the body.
Just after the store opened, Ye Fuxun was counting money until her hands became weak. She held a large pile of banknotes and grinned: "I really made a lot of money today."
Xi Luo was filled with admiration. She gave a thumbs up and praised: "If the emperor knew that you had earned so much silver today, he would be surprised."
After all, everyone was not optimistic and thought Ye Fuxun was joking. It was such a reversal that he made a profit of ten thousand taels on the first day of opening!
