I thought this in my heart, but my face showed a different scene.
I saw Nan Yanxi also put on a look of excitement with tears in her eyes, pretending to be a veteran of Third Elder Gou Chuan, and choked up slightly: "Yes... my nephew feels the same way."
"So, this is fate...fate...!"
"Yes, yes, it's fate... Hahaha, come on, let's drink tea..." Tian Yingzhang on the side couldn't stand the nausea of these two people.
He had no choice but to interrupt, picked up the teacup and introduced to Nan Yanxi: "My dear nephew, try this tea... It is the best tea from the east. It was exclusively for the Yan royal family back then."
"Oh? That's a rare thing..." Hearing this, Nan Yanxi immediately put on a look of surprise, picked up the tea cup and drank it all in one gulp.
Then he closed his eyes and looked like he was savoring it carefully.
But in my heart, I was complaining like crazy, mm, this shit is top quality, isn’t this just drinking Zhou Cui, I’ve been drinking too much for a long time.
This tea has a fragrant taste and is rarely produced. It is indeed a good tea that was offered as tribute to the Yan royal family. Later, when the Ming Dynasty was established, this tea became one of the many teas that were offered as tribute to itself.
It tastes good, but that's only if it's the best quality selected from Minzhou Cuizhong.
As for Tian Yingzhang, he was clearly someone who had been selected after Sancha.
Because the output of Minzhou Cui is rare and its taste is outstanding. Whenever it is produced, the best ones are naturally given as tribute to oneself, and the second best ones are left to the officials of the imperial court, princes, generals and ministers.
Only then will it flow to the people and become the so-called top-grade royal tribute tea, which is also extremely expensive.
People like the Great Elder and others, who are in the mountains and green forests, even if they are in charge of the money and food in the organization, they probably can't buy the good Minzhou Cui on the market, and it is a second-class product.
They regarded this thing as a good thing, but in the mouth of the mighty Ming Emperor, it was not that it was terrible to swallow, but it was just a little better than the dry tree leaves.
"Hmm...good tea...good tea..." Nan Yanxi opened her eyes, smacked her lips, and praised in unison, "Well...this tea is not ordinary...little
When my nephew tasted it, why did it taste like royal tribute tea and Minzhou Cui?"
"Haha... My nephew is indeed very knowledgeable. He can tell with just one bite that it is Minzhou Cui!"
Hearing this, the First Elder Tian Yingzhang laughed and introduced to Nan Yanxi with a proud look on his face: "This, I went to the east in the first few months and bought it at a huge price."
"It was still a new tea at that time. I haven't been willing to drink it for so long. I'm afraid it tastes a bit old... My nephew is here today. You are well-informed and can just taste it to see if it is true or false.
"
"Hmm...Okay, okay..." Hearing this, Nan Yanxi poured herself another glass and pretended to pour it into her mouth to savor it.
Then he nodded slowly: "Not bad, not bad...the aftertaste is sweet, and the faint aroma of orchids lingers in the mouth. This is definitely the Minzhou Cui!"
After the words fell, Nan Yanxi said in a rather showy manner: "Not to mention...this tea...should not be particularly old, um...at most six or seven months old."
"This Minzhou Cui, it doesn't matter how many months it has been there. If it has been nine months, the taste will not be as good as before."
After saying that, he laughed at Tian Yingzhang: "Uncle Tian, don't be stingy. If you keep this tea any longer, it will lose its flavor!"
"Hahaha... My nephew is amazing, he can even taste it after being aged for several months." Hearing this, Tian Yingzhang immediately admired him.
"It's just that I, uncle, can't finish it all in a month or two even if I include Uncle Gou... If my nephew doesn't dislike it, I'll take some back."
Hearing what he said, Nan Yanxi suddenly showed a happy expression and rubbed her hands in embarrassment: "This... hehe... is it appropriate..."
"My little nephew... I really like to drink tea on weekdays... Well... Hahaha... Since uncle has said so, then... I would rather be respectful than obey... Hahaha...
.”
Having said that, my heart did tighten slightly when I heard that girl Ye Feng say that her old father, the former lord of Maple Leaf City, was killed in an attack half a year ago, and it was in Qingzhou territory. If you count it here,
Just to the east.
And what Nan Yanxi said just now, about how long it has been aged, including nine months before it tastes bad, is actually a lie to him.
After Tian Yingzhang said this casually, it was also proved from the side that this old boy also went to the east almost half a year ago.
Maple Leaf City is located in Nanzhou, adjacent to Cheongju to the east.
When something happened to the old city lord, they did go to Qingzhou together in order to collect the body and find out the murderer.
But at that time, it was obviously inappropriate for Tian Yingzhang to make a special trip to the city to find a big tea house and buy such high-end tea.
So this was definitely not something they bought on their way to Cheongju because of that incident.
So if it's not that time...then which time is it?
Nan Yanxi smiled with them, but she began to think carefully in her heart. Could it be that... the old city lord was killed by Tian Yingzhang and Gou Chuan?
I don’t know how good the old city lord’s martial arts are. If these two guys join forces, they can kill him.
After I finish this matter, I really need to ask Ye Feng. Maybe the case will be solved.
At this time, Tian Yingzhang and Gou Chuan naturally had no idea what Nan Yanxi was thinking.
The two of them were holding tea cups and looked at each other while Nan Yanxi wasn't paying attention. Gou Chuan on the side understood and nodded secretly.
After a while, he picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for Nan Yanxi. He said in a seemingly casual tone: "Huh? I heard that my wise nephew didn't get up until noon. Did he make our city lord so unhappy?"
"I'm not talking about you as an uncle. Although this beauty is nice, you still need to take care of your health. You are still young and you still need to exercise moderation!"
"How about... our city lord, please treat your nephew to some delicacies from the mountains and seas?"
Hearing what he said, Nan Yanxi knew that he was trying to trick her.
Then he waved his hand and said with a slight displeasure: "Hey! What delicacies from the mountains and seas... are far worse than the delicacies I enjoyed with the two elders yesterday."
"You said that I came all the way to help, but you didn't ask me to treat you to something good... This little girl looks very pretty, but she is really stingy!"
As soon as these words came out, the third elder Gou Chuan felt happy. He turned his head to look at Tian Yingzhang calmly, then turned back and pretended to be surprised: "Oh...?"
"According to my nephew, our city lord has taken off that mask?"
Nan Yanxi nodded: "Yeah...my nephew, I came to help her so sincerely. If she carries such a gadget all day long, it's really unreasonable!"
"Besides...she can't drink and eat with that thing..."
After hearing this, Gou Chuan nodded and laughed: "That's right, that's right... What my nephew said makes sense, what he says makes sense..."
After saying that, he immediately raised his head and said with great interest: "How about my nephew...our Lord Ye, how does he look like? Isn't he classy?"
"Hehe... Excellent..." Nan Yanxi chuckled and acted like a pig brother: "Hehe... this Lord Ye is really a beauty who will conquer the entire country."
"The best! Oh no...the best...! It's definitely the best! Hehehehe..."
Seeing his reaction like this, Gou Chuan was overjoyed, knowing that today's conversation was finally getting better.
He stretched out his hand to hold the teapot, and while pouring tea for him, he asked seemingly casually: "Then... I wonder how the beauty of Lord Ye is compared to the maid who gave it to you?"
"Well...Actually, they are both quite beautiful..." Hearing this, Nan Yanxi thought for a while and made some comments: "These two women have different styles, so it's really hard to compare them."
"But...that girl Kou Kou is more like Xiaojiabiyu and is a little younger. If we really compare her, she is not as good as Lord Ye... Hehe..."
As soon as these words came out, Gou Chuan threw his arms around and his words were full of admiration: "Look! After all, he is a child from a rich family, so he is well-informed!"
"This sentence hits the point and hits the nail on the head! It's amazing..."
"But..." After the words fell, Gou Chuan paused and said in a casual tone: "I heard that my nephew's cousin, Lin Yu'er, who is now the richest and most powerful country in Nanzhou, is also a first-class beauty.
Son!"
"I don't know...if we, Lord Ye, compare with my nephew and cousin...who is better and worse?"
