"Ruoli!" Pei Mingyuan stood up excitedly when he heard the voice.

"Why haven't I seen you in the past few days? Have you been grounded by your father again?" Xue Ruoli knew that the Pei family had a strict family tradition and prohibited the direct descendants of the family, so he only thought that he was grounded.

"No way! My dad took me to Shanghai to discuss business. Tea Expo, you know? It is where tea dealers from all over the country come together to exchange business, and there are also foreigners coming!" Pei Mingyuan took out a glass bottle from his pocket as he wanted to show off.

.

"Look, this is a fine French perfume. It was given to me by a French foreigner. I heard the foreigners said that this is only used by the French royal family. If you try it, you will be like a French princess after using it."

"No... no need." Xue Ruoli declined.

"It's for you, just try it." Pei Mingyuan couldn't help but put the perfume into Xue Ruoli's hand.

"Then, okay." Xue Ruoli couldn't resist Pei Mingyuan, so he had to pick up the perfume, spray it on his wrists a few times, and rub it behind his ears.

"It smells so good! That foreigner really didn't lie to me." Pei Mingyuan raised his head and sniffed the fragrance in the air.

"Well, it smells quite good." Xue Ruoli also smiled slightly. She is a woman after all, and she still has no resistance to cosmetics. "Mingyuan, thank you."

"Thank you! Hurry up and eat the dishes. They are all your favorite dishes." Pei Mingyuan hurriedly asked Xue Ruoli to sit down.

"My dad has already told me that when I go out this time, my family's tea plantations, shops, and other family properties will be slowly handed over to me in the future. From now on, if I walk around Laizhou City more often, I will be able to visit them often.

You're done." Pei Mingyuan poured half a glass of wine and drank by himself.

"Then you must learn to do business and don't let down your father's hard work."

"It's early in the morning, drink less wine. I'll pour you some tea."

After Xue Ruoli finished speaking, he saw that there was no teapot on the table and frowned slightly: "Where's the tea? Gillian!"

"Miss, here we come!" Gillian's voice came from downstairs, followed by the sound of rapid footsteps.

"Miss, Mr. Pei, here comes the tea." Gillian was holding a tray with a small purple clay pot on it, and four tea cups next to it. The aroma of tea could be smelled from a distance.

"Have you washed the tea?" Xue Ruoli asked as he took the teapot.

"I arranged it myself. It must have been washed. The smell is unmistakable." Pei Mingyuan answered for Gillian.

"Step back." Xue Ruoli didn't say anything, waved Gillian to leave, poured tea for Pei Mingyuan, and put it in front of him with both hands. "Mingyuan, drink tea."

Pei Mingyuan took the tea, smelled the tea aroma first, and showed a satisfied look. Then he blew a breath, took a sip, held it in his mouth and savored it carefully. After a few seconds, he swallowed it and spit out a mouthful of fragrance.

“Great tea!”

"The tea was brought by you Mingyuan, so it's naturally good tea." Xue Ruoli praised.

"No, I'm not saying this tea is good, I'm saying the tea from my tea mountain is good." Pei Mingyuan's eyes showed a bit of fanaticism.

"What's the difference? Isn't this pot of tea from your tea mountain?" Xue Ruoli didn't understand.

"You only know one, but not the other." Pei Mingyuan deliberately betrayed him.

"You are so annoying. You deliberately try to tease people. If you don't say anything else, I won't listen!" Xue Ruoli said deliberately coquettishly.

"When I went to Shanghai this time, I followed my dad to discuss business, and I got to see what things are like in shopping malls."

"What does it look like?" Xue Ruoli was a little curious after hearing his loud voice.

"Of course it's not as good as our Linzhou tea." Pei Mingyuan snorted and continued: "When those merchants saw our Linzhou tea merchants, they all showed respect and sent messages to invite us to dinner."

"Didn't you see that scene? My dad was on the stage and told them seriously: 'Welcome to Shanghai. Friends who come here are doing it to give face to me, Mr. Pei... Tea leaves are left by our ancestors.

"Treasure, now that the world is in turmoil, we tea merchants must unite more. Don't take advantage of the opportunity to drive up the market price, don't pass off inferior goods, don't adulterate and sell fakes..." He mentioned ten prohibitions. Finally, he also called on everyone to donate money and materials to support the northern war.

.”

"All donated?" Xue Ruoli said in surprise.

"Our Pei family took the lead in donating 100,000 yuan. Who would dare not to donate? The tea merchants in Wuling jointly donated 50,000 yuan, and those in southern Yunnan contributed 80,000 yuan. More or less, it is always interesting."

"Oh, some foreigner also donated, saying it represents the anti-*** alliance. You tell me, it's funny or not. France itself is anti-***."

Xue Ruoli also covered her mouth and laughed: "It's really interesting."

"But why do you have such bans on this tea expo? Are there so many cases of cheating and cheating?"

"You just know too little! Profiteers, profiteers! Why do you say that there is no treachery without business? Those are people who are blind to money. If there is a way to earn an extra dollar, they will never make less." Pei Mingyuan snorted.

.

"A few years ago, my dad went to Wuling to collect tea, and he promised it would be the best Dahongpao. He inspected the goods on the spot, bagged them, and sealed them, but the tea was still transferred."

"Ah, how did you do this!" Xue Ruoli looked shocked.

"They arranged for people to be on the train early, and deliberately exchanged the good tea with boxes containing defective products, but they did not exchange more, and only exchanged two boxes of ten boxes. In this way, the best seasonal tea became stale.

Tea, moldy tea.”

"But you can't use this to make excuses, otherwise they will bite back and say that they inspected the goods at the beginning, and most likely they saved it improperly and came to extort money. It's really disgusting."

"Bah!" Pei Mingyuan couldn't help but spit.

"Calm down, it's all over, isn't it good now?" Xue Ruoli consoled her as she poured a bowl of tea.

"That's not even my father's great reputation. Now in the entire domestic tea business circle, who doesn't know that the Linzhou Pei family is the boss of the tea industry!" Pei Mingyuan straightened his back even more when he talked about his own business.

"Yes, Tea King Pei, no one knows, no one knows." Xue Ruoli murmured, his expression downcast.

Seeing the strange look on the face of the person in front of him, Pei Mingyuan immediately took her hand: "Ruoli, I said, I will definitely marry you into the house in a big sedan chair. Let you marry into the Pei family in all glory."

"Heh." Xue Ruoli took out his hand and shook his head, "I'm afraid the door to your Pei family is not accessible to someone like me. Have you forgotten what your father said? If you dare to give me a letter of appointment, he will dare to

I’ll drive you out of Pei’s house.”

"Uh... now, free love, he..." Pei Mingyuan was so angry that he couldn't even speak a complete sentence for a while.

"Guardian of the Qing Dynasty, as for the ladies of Linzhou, it's not like they have to listen to my aunt's advice to treat guests, but they have less flesh-and-blood business than those in the flower houses. It's impossible for a decent family to let a member of the clan marry me as their official wife.

"

"Then I will take you as my concubine!" Pei Mingyuan said so excitedly that he even knocked over the tea cup.

"Concubine..." Xue Ruoli looked out the window, sighed softly, and hid a word that he did not say: "If you are sincere, how can you be a concubine?"

Seeing that Xue Ruoli was still unhappy, Pei Mingyuan stood up and said, "No big deal, I'll elope with you. Then, like Zhuo Wenjun and Sima Xiangru, go to the beautiful village to grow tea. You pick the tea, and I fry it."

Let’s stay together and live together.”

Speak firmly and stand like a green pine.
