A caravan from Yangzhou rushed to Baozhilin, Suzhou. What this caravan brought was not medicinal materials, but wine with an extremely fragrant aroma.
Just passing by the street at the back door of Baozhilin, the aroma of wine left an unforgettable aroma, which attracted the neighbors who lived together to come out to take a look. I saw eighteen carts full of drinks at the back door of Baozhilin. I stayed behind to watch the cars.
The waiter was covered in dust and his face was full of exhaustion, but he refused to relax even for a moment, guarding the wine barrel behind him so as not to miss the slightest disturbance.
The leader of the convoy had already gone inside, and the guard was a little impatient. He looked at the sky and estimated that he had been there for half an hour. Why didn't anyone come out to tell him what to do? Everything in this place was filled with gold.
If a bucket of wine is lost, all their hard work will be in vain.
As I was thinking about it, the door to the backyard suddenly opened, and several enthusiastic little maids came out to deliver tea to each of the men guarding the house.
Seeing these young and beautiful girls, the men who had been traveling for more than a month became thirsty and thirsty. They hurriedly took the tea cups from the little maids and drank them. Several maids laughed and cursed.
: "You guys drink it slowly. This is Junshan Silver Needle Tea made by our wife herself. It's very valuable! You have to drink it slowly and don't drink it in one go."
The middle-aged man in front of the door wiped his sweat and replied with a smile: "We are all rough people. We only know how to do physical work and don't know how to drink tea. But this needle of yours is really different from other teas. Drink it."
After that, it was a little...a little bit..."
"A little dizzy?"
The man nodded, feeling more and more uncomfortable. Several people couldn't hold on anymore and squatted on the ground, pressing their foreheads hard. The man who was talking to the little girl also took two steps back, holding on to the wall, wondering: "You guys...
…There’s something wrong with your tea.”
"How is that possible?" The little girl blinked her eyes, looking harmless, "You don't even look at how big the sky is now. You guys have been standing in the sun for so long, so you must be tired. You are still
Hurry and go to the courtyard to rest more, your tired body belongs to you."
With that said, several men dressed as servants came out of Baozhilin, and one of them held up the guard man and dragged him into Baozhilin.
The man who was still sober murmured to himself: "Wine... our wine..."
Although he could speak, his body no longer had the strength to control the other party and drag him into Baozhilin.
"Don't worry, we will save these wines for you. Not a drop will be left." The little girl from before smiled slightly at the man. After her words fell, the man also fainted. The innocent face of the little girl was instantly touched.
Shrouded in a layer of indifference, he winked at the people inside and lowered his voice: "Move quickly."
…
Xia Shang never thought that he would taste the taste of green bamboo leaves here. It was the best taste for him. Although the taste he tasted today was somewhat different from what he was familiar with in his previous life, it could not help but bring back many memories of the past.
However, after trying the tea for the first time, Xia Shang couldn't help but frown slightly and looked towards the door following the sound.
Just then I saw a woman in imperial attire coming in with her eyebrows lowered.
The palace attire here is not palace attire, but the things you wear are rigorous and meticulous, showing respect and attention from the people you meet.
This person has a strange fragrance on her body, and there are several butterflies surrounding her, which makes her look beautiful. From a distance, you can smell the scent of flowers and medicine on her body. From the first sight, you can tell that this person is a doctor and has a good temperament.
Gentle, people can't help but feel a sense of intimacy and closeness when they see it.
That sip of tea and the first meeting aroused Xia Shang's vigilance. The reason was simply because he heard what the second master said today. It was a game between the two of them, and they had to hide themselves first.
The first impression this woman gave Xia Shang was that she had no flaws. If he didn't know that she was from the Chunfang Division of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Xia Shang might have regarded her as a transparent and kind-hearted person like Qian Qian.
Xia Shang, who has experienced many sudden events, will not relax at all. He is not even willing to take a closer look at the other person's appearance. He lowers his head slightly and glances at the other person's plump and uneven figure.
Then he looked at the tea cup in his hand and pretended to examine the tea carefully.
Before he knew it, the woman had arrived in front of Xia Shang. The strange fragrance on her body became more obvious, and she heard his voice again in her ears.
"Young master is so focused, why don't you want to see the little lady?"
Xia Shang put down his tea, stood up and looked up, and couldn't help being surprised.
She is really a naturally foxy fairy. Although her pair of rat-like crescent eyes are not big, she has a cunning and clever look. She has a pink nose like jade, wide and thin red lips, and a round mouth.
A charming beauty mole is even more charming.
Fortunately, the other party didn't smile. If he smiled, I don't know how many men he would be able to charm.
"Yuji?"
Xia Shang asked indifferently, and the woman was stunned by this appearance, thinking that this was the first time she had seen such a calm young man talking to her.
"Exactly the little woman."
"I heard that the poppy has never been married, so why did the woman say it?"
"When you are not married, your heart is already old, so you are laughing at me."
"I don't like women pretending to be old-fashioned. They should be more tender like this tea."
Yu Ji smiled at Xia Shang, her beautiful face was so pleasant that the spring breeze filled the garden.
Xia Shang looked a little distracted and quickly sat down and looked back at the teacup.
Yu Ji sat down opposite each other with a curious look on her face: "Mr. Xia, are you satisfied with this tea?"
"Although the tea is good, it lacks a bit of heart, so the taste lacks a bit of sincerity. You call it Junshan Silver Needle, I call it Bamboo Leaf Green. I haven't tasted it for a long time, but I am destined to taste it today. It is also destined to taste it."
"Bamboo Leaf Green? This name is more appropriate than the one given by the little lady. From now on, the little woman will call it Bamboo Leaf Green. If the young master likes it, then you'd better drink it quickly."
"Tea is for tasting, not drinking. Since I already know its taste, I don't need to try it again."
After saying that, Xia Shang put the tea cup aside and looked at Yu Ji with deep meaning in his eyes.
The two fell silent, both understanding that this was a riddle game.
After such a stalemate for a long time, Yu Ji finally couldn't help but clapped her hands: "Okay, okay... You are worthy of being the chief minister of the Metropolitan Procuratorate."
Hearing this, Xia Shang was shocked. He didn't expect that the other party already knew his identity.
Yu Ji did not see Xia Shang's surprise, and her eyes became more solemn. After all, the person in front of her was the head of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the head of the Twelve Divisions, the head of Humen No. 1, even if he looked very young, no matter what the reason
The reason is that it is his ability to hold that waist card. For such a person, Yu Ji dare not be careless.
"Your Majesty, the medicine I put in the tea was something I developed with great concentration. Even the Dzogchen Master couldn't find any problems. Why did you put the tea aside?"
"To be honest, I really didn't taste anything wrong. I was just testing it a little. If you pretended to be more perfect, I would drink it in one gulp." (To be continued)
