At the end of autumn, a simple and unpretentious carriage, escorted by a group of officers and soldiers, passed through Black Tiger Mountain from east to west, heading towards the town with the enchanting name. The passing caravans were lucky enough to meet this team, and they gave way to each other.
, thinking about whether things are going to change in Niangpi Town?
Of course, this is just their idea. If they knew that a team of officers and soldiers would enter Niangpi Town every year, they would not think so.
This year, the last autumn wind was blowing in the black tiger. An official entered Niangpi Town in an inconspicuous carriage. The shop door, which had received the news a long time ago, restrained the gangster spirit that had grown from the bandits and became a
He was a kind-hearted and honest person, which made the merchants who were rushing to take the last commercial bus before winter a little puzzled: "This is the legendary Niangpi Town? It's not as evil as the rumors outside, look at it.
, there are also officers and soldiers patrolling the town, it is more of a town than a small town."
Thinking is just thinking, but when they inquired about Niangpi Town, the bosses there would say: "Isn't it strange? This is how it is here. You all heard misinformation. Those profiteers just don't want others to know what's going on here."
How affordable, if you don’t believe it, take a look."
With just a few words, the shopkeeper drew the caravan's attention to his goods.
Today, the town's only restaurant does not accept any customers except on the first and second floors.
The third floor has been decorated with a brand new look. This is the first time that the style has been changed.
A rather graceful middle-aged man sat on the main seat, and a petite and charming girl. This distinguished guest from afar rubbed his shoulders and back, with just the right amount of force, which made the adult enjoy it very much. The owner of the small building, Mr. Lan, sat
Opposite him, he was introducing the town he managed to this adult while brewing wild tea unique to this place.
The girl's unique body fragrance mixed with the fragrance of the brewed tea, creating a scene that this adult had never enjoyed before.
"Master He, I wonder how the tea here tastes like in Xiaguan?" Master Lan asked in a low voice. "Although this tea grows in the deep mountains, it is precisely because of this that they can better absorb the essence of the sun and the moon, and then be
It is picked from the mountains and fried by two maids who are proficient in tea ceremony in Xiaguan, which brings out its taste to the extreme. If spring comes, the taste will be excellent. The current taste may be a little inferior.
a little."
Master He listened to Master Lan's hard praise, put down his hand that was squeezing the girl's beautiful wrist, and tasted it again.
"Well~ I drank in a hurry just now, and I did miss a lot of flavor. The taste of this second cup seems to be even better." Mr. He took a sip and praised it.
"Sir, don't be anxious. The third course is the best way to drink this tea. The first two courses are for people to ascend step by step, paving the way for the third course." Mr. Lan brewed the tea methodically again.
In the eyes of Mr. He, every move he makes is like a tea-drinking master.
"Oh, if you hadn't been reluctant to leave here, I really wanted to take you back. Your tea ceremony is worth my request."
"Sir, the reason why Xiaguan doesn't leave here is that Xiaguan's tea skills depend on this place. Not only is there the wild tea that Xiaguan is looking for, but it is also a place where Xiaguan can concentrate on studying the tea ceremony. To be honest, it's because
For this reason, we manage this town smoothly." Mr. Lan said slowly.
Mr. He smiled and said nothing. After drinking the third tea, it was indeed as he said, the taste was more pure.
"That's such a pity." Mr. He said with some regret.
"If your lord really likes me, these maids of mine have obtained some true inheritances from lower officials. Why don't they be given to you to be your maids, so as to quench your thirst for lovesickness."
"Oh, that's very good, very good." Mr. He's eyes showed joy, and the hand that had been writing all day found that silky place again.
"Since Mr. Lan's tea has been drunk, you'd better talk about business." Mr. He said with his eyes closed, enjoying the silky smoothness in his hand.
"I wonder if your Excellency has ever heard of the robbery of Princess Anhe's tomb?" Mr. Lan said slowly.
"I have indeed heard it." Mr. He nodded.
This incident happened not long ago, this summer, and it was no secret to high-level officials. Princess An and committed suicide by taking poison in order to reject the marriage between the two countries. This made the prince of Shang State very angry, and the relationship between the two countries
The relationship between the two countries has dropped to a freezing point. If Shang State had not been dragged down by some things, the army would have gone south long ago.
After An He died, he was buried in Qixia Mountain south of Yingdu. There were special tomb guards. But even so, just one year after the burial, the noble princess's tomb was robbed. By the time it was discovered, the contents inside had long been
It was completely looted and even the remains of the princess were taken away, which was absolutely heartbreaking.
For this reason, the royal family was furious and offered a large reward to the tomb robbers, and those who guarded the tomb were killed by the nine tribes.
Princess Anhe was very beautiful. It is said that Princess Anhe was still very beautiful after her death. Because she was a princess, she was buried with a lot of valuable gold and silver jewelry. However, the world has been bad in the past two years, so this tomb was
They were targeted and eventually robbed.
"According to the official, when Princess Anhe was buried, the former prince, now the eldest prince, who was Princess Anhe's half-brother, gave her a century-old fragrant pearl and asked her to hold it in her mouth.
Burying it can keep the body from rotting and smelling bad."
"I have heard about this, but it's just rumors in the market. Those tomb robbers who violated the laws of nature are probably more likely to go after the corpse of the bead. They are simply unconscionable." Mr. He also expressed his disapproval of those tomb robbers.
I hate the cruel means. "It's such a pity that Princess Anhe's innocent life was ruined after her death."
"The eldest prince who was sent to the border to confront the merchant army almost led his troops back south. If he hadn't been stopped by an imperial edict, I'm afraid many innocent people would have suffered." Master Lan said with a sigh.
"What are you talking about?" Master He asked.
Master Lan smiled and said, "No matter whether the bead is rumored to be in Princess Anhe's mouth, there is indeed such a bead."
"Oh, I heard you say that, have you seen it before?" Master He became interested. He also wanted to see such a strange treasure, but he just didn't have the ability yet.
"I have indeed seen it, but I'm not sure it's the one in the rumors, but it does resemble the description in the rumors." After saying that, Mr. Lan clapped his hands.
Looking at his posture, is it possible that the bead he mentioned is in his hand?
After a while, another graceful girl came over with small steps carrying a beautifully made brocade box, knelt down on one side of the table, and solemnly placed the box on the table.
After the girl placed the box, she did not leave in a hurry, but waited for the next instruction.
"Could it be that inside this box is..."
Mr. Lan pressed the box with one hand and motioned Mr. He to speak softly with the other hand: "There is indeed a bead in the box that is similar to the one rumored. I am not sure whether it is the one rumored."
"Some time ago, a person came to the town, and he brought this bead. This person said that this bead was not the one rumored, but was passed down from their ancestors. It was originally a big treasure, and it was buried in the tomb of Princess Kean and Princess
After the accident, his bead became a hot potato because it was too similar to the rumored one. He was afraid of being implicated by this bead, but he was reluctant to throw it away. He was eager to take action and found several black markets.
No one dared to take over, so I came to my mother-in-law town to try my luck."
"As the saying goes, the bold will die of starvation and the coward will die. The subordinate bought him as soon as he gritted his teeth."
"Thinking about how Mr. He has taken such good care of my mother-in-law town for so many years, I hurriedly invited Mr. He to come and talk."
With that said, Master Lan pushed the box towards the middle of the table.
"Whether that person is telling the truth or he is the tomb robber, it doesn't matter. This bead is so tempting. I took one look at it and was deeply attracted."
Master He was also itched by what he said. He stopped stroking the soft wrist and leaned forward slightly, staring at the brocade box.
Mr. Lan will not go into details for fear of going too far. He slowly opened the box. Inside the box, there was a crystal clear, moist yellow bead about the size of an eyeball lying there quietly.
The moment the box was opened, an indescribable faint fragrance wafted out, making Master He stare at it with wide eyes. He finally couldn't help but gently picked up his fingers and pinched it, put it in front of his eyes and looked at it carefully, and then put it down.
He took it in and smelled it, then carefully put it back into the box, closed it gently, closed his eyes and thought about it.
"It is said that it is cold when you hold it, and there is a strange fragrance wafting out. It is as moist and yellow as a girl's skin, and your mouth is filled with saliva. Except for the last one, which is not sure, the others are very similar."
"I heard that Mrs. He also likes to collect strange beads. Why don't I give this bead to you?"
Mr. He opened his eyes suddenly, and he couldn't hide the joy in his eyes. In fact, his yellow-faced woman didn't have that hobby at all. He knew that this was just a small excuse of the other party, and of course he would not be stupid enough to expose it.
.
"No reward for no merit."
"My lord, where is this place? Please let the common people have a place to live and take care of them. It is the lower official who has received more favors from the upper class. Besides, the lower official can only do tea ceremony. It is boring to see such jewelry."
Such a treasure should be in the hands of someone more suitable for it."
"Hahaha, Mr. Lan really knows how to behave." Mr. He took the brocade box into his arms unceremoniously.
"Sir, according to that man, holding this bead in his mouth has miraculous effects during sexual intercourse. He also learned about it from the ancestral teachings, but he didn't have time to try it, so he was troubled by it and was in a hurry to get rid of it.
To save your life, you might as well try it with your lady after you go back, and you will know the true origin of this bead and whether that person is lying. The person also said that this bead has a name, called Dragon and Phoenix Playing with Beads."
"Master Lan is right, let me try to see if this person is lying, hahahaha."
That day, Lord He did not leave Niangpi Town in a hurry, but stayed in Niangpi Town for one night. The third floor of the restaurant became Lord He's residence, and was personally served by Lord Lan's two maids. As for that day
Master Lan didn't know whether Mr. He tried to test the authenticity of the bead that night. He only knew that Mr. He yawned repeatedly when he left the next day. He probably couldn't sleep well when he was not at home.
