Maoyoufang

There is a tea garden in Xuanmeng Mansion, commonly known as the tea market. Every ten days, famous masters come here to fight for tea. Although it is purely elegant, the competition is fierce and cannot be underestimated.If you want to find excellent tea industry resources, you can search for them. Maybe you can find the tribute tea from the former court from the humble tea bag, or maybe someone took the royal porcelain from some ancient country to order tea.

In addition to tea antiques such as cakes, some people are dedicated to discovering new talents. In addition, because there are many overseas businessmen here, there are also tea types and tea drinking modes from different countries.There are many schools of tea drinking, each of which has different opinions, and tea fighting is mostly carried out with precious group tea.

In a quiet tea house, Nian Yunxuan's opponent is a man with distinctive features. He directly stirs the tea in the tea kettle, his eyes are full of competitive consciousness, and he is proud of his determination to win.These two people come from overseas countries and lived in various countries. They also have a deep understanding of the tea drinking culture of Dajin. .

It was Shen Qian who painted them outside the teahouse.Since Emperor Jin abolished the [-] palace harem and set up only one empress, and reduced many complicated banquet expenses, the number of painters required in the palace has also been greatly reduced.Shen Qian and his master Liang Yan are both lovers of beauty. There were no beauties in the palace to draw, so they started wandering among the people, met Jiang Maoyou by chance, and depended on Jiang Maoyou.

The reason is that Jiang Maoyou's charm is changeable, and Shen Qian likes to paint.Jiang Maoyou didn't care much, and let him go, so Shen Qian would come to Jiang Maoyou for outings from time to time, or come to join in the fun at such times, and draw pictures of the customs and customs by the way.Even so, Shen Qian's paintings are friendly and not kitsch, and he was invited by some workshops to make engravings, earning some pocket money, so he doesn't often get involved in imitations these days.

Jiang Maoyou and others took the teacup handed over by their opponents, and first admired the tea container, saying: "The tea soup is white, and the teacup is black, so that the soup flowers and tea traces can be seen. This black cup has a delicate surface at first glance." Concave and convex, but when I look at it, I feel quite handy..."

The other party was showing a smug expression when he heard Jiang Maoyou turn his head and say to Qin Siyuan: "Hey, Lao Qin, it is very similar to your stinky tofu. It smells strange at first, but it is actually good for health." The other party was almost angry, and Jiang Maoyou smiled innocently Can Can, and then said: "Hey, don't get me wrong, I'm praising, big——big praise."

"Pfft." Jiang Fangxue couldn't help laughing, she felt that her father was really mean, even if it was a compliment, it would make people wonder whether they should accept it or not.

Qin Siyuan declined to comment. In comparison, he still prefers the tea utensils ordered by his family from a specific porcelain kiln. The color is elegant and makes people feel comfortable just by looking at them.

When it was Jiang Maoyou's turn, Jiang Maoyou took out a small piece of purple tea ball, and Qin Siyuan stared at him immediately.

"You, you are---"

"Hey." Jiang Maoyou smiled mischievously, Xiao Li pinched Jiang Fangxue's soft white cheeks like mochi, and said, "Son, you are lucky today."

Qin Siyuan smiled helplessly, and began to turn the tea mill to grind the dough cake into powder. First, he hammered the wax layer on the surface of the dough tea and then ground it, and took a tea broom to sweep the fine white bud tea powder. There were more than 20 pieces on the tea table. The tea set is not sloppy at all.

On the side, Jiang Maoyou personally waited for the fire to boil the water, and Jiang Fangxue acted as a tea boy as their assistant, sifting the tea powder into fine powder for Qin Siyuan.

Jiang Maoyou held the tea bowl, poured a little water to thicken the tea powder, with an elegant demeanor and neat movements, delicately grasping the priority of the strokes, and poured hot water intermittently to stir the soup.His expression is detached and without desire. When he pours the tea, the soup flowers and cloud feet are like fine wine, and the tea powder flying in the sun inadvertently shines with jade-colored brilliance, creating a picturesque scene.

Shen Qian was concentrating on thinking, and could only make a draft first, while muttering: "It is really a test to paint the charm of Maoyou." There were only five people in the teahouse, and a painter was painting outside, but slowly gathered some people not far away Onlookers, commentary.

Jiang Maoyou brewed a six-point full teacup and said with a smile: "Turn the spring thunder and fly the white snow, and the tin water in Ou Song will condense the crisp." He handed the tea bowl to the opponent with profound features, and the man in special clothes took the shallow one. With a sip, surprise appeared on his face.

"The degree of sweetness and aftertaste..."

"How? Convinced?" The other man on the opposite side felt a little exaggerated when he saw the expression of approval and admiration from his partner.

First drink tea and discuss it, and then observe the water marks left in the tea cup, the one that emerges first loses.Jiang Maoyou also used a black cup, and the water marks on both sides appeared almost at the same time, but the bottom of the black cup used by Jiang Maoyou was a special glaze, and the dark blue and purple luster slowly bloomed, like fireworks at night.

"The head of Nianyunxuan."

"Yes." Jiang Maoyou replied politely.

"I am convinced, I just want to ask you what kind of tea is this tea? And the tea utensil you used..."

Jiang Maoyou replied with a smile: "This, cough." He received Qin Siyuan's warning gaze, and said implicitly: "This is confidential. If you are really interested, you are welcome to visit our pavilion at any time. There are still many interesting things in my place. things to share with you.”

They don't have many tea battles in the tea market with the signboard of Nianyunxuan, about two or three times a year, Jiang Maoyou is actually belligerent, meeting too good tea merchants or fellow tea lovers will arouse his desire to fight tea .However, Nianyunxuan is not a high-profile business. Jiang Maoyou often communicates in his own name and has collected a lot of good tea.

Win, win, Jiang Maoyou yelled happily in his heart, and restrained his smile when he met Qin Siyuan's complaining eyes and Jiang Fangxue's silly look.Qin Siyuan and the others dispersed and asked, "The ball of tea you're holding is the same thing I was thinking about."

"Yes. Well, because I don't want to lose to foreigners anyway."

"Daddy, that was tribute tea just now, right?" Jiang Fangxue covered her mouth as soon as she said the words, smacked her forehead and reprimanded lightly: "Stupid, don't talk nonsense."

"Wuh." Jiang Fangxue went to Qin Siyuan's side and grabbed Uncle Qin's clothes, Qin Siyuan patted his head and said, "Good boy, uncle bought you candy."

Jiang Maoyou took the opportunity to scold Qin Siyuan: "Don't spoil my son, okay?"

"Then set yourself a good example."

"That's right, Dad has to be a good example, what kind of man is it to beat a child?"

Jiang Maoyou laughed with his mouth open, he was too lazy to quarrel with them, and planned to continue shopping for a few loads of tea, to see if there was any tea worth paying attention to.He strolled behind Shen Qian, looked at Shen Qian's draft, and frowned: "Hey, Ah Qian, are you drawing me?"

"Don't make noise, I'm seriously remembering the scene just now."

"I don't want to quarrel with you, I just wonder why I have no face?"

"Shh, don't bother me yet."

"...Is my face so difficult to draw? Why?"

Shen Qian turned to stare at him impatiently, explaining: "It's not about looks, it's about Shen Yun."

"Well, what's the difference. I'm not always like that."

"It's different. The charm of your tea fight just now is different from the dumb fool you are now. The current Jiang Maoyou is at best a masked face."

"Uh, Qian, it's too much for you to say that. I'm a good-looking man anyway. If you say I have a mask face, you can just make it up with a mask."

Shen Qian's eyes lit up, he clapped his hands and said, "Good idea!"

"Hey, that's too much."

"No, the mask is an interesting idea. You go away and I'll try."

Jiang Maoyou was driven away, looking at Mingyuan Street, Qin Siyuan had already taken Jiang Fangxue for a walk, probably going to buy snacks elsewhere, he was not interested in following, and walked a little absent-mindedly.He walked to the side of the bridge with green spring willows, turned his head suddenly, and saw Tong Yuguang standing behind him.

Just like that year, when he returned to the capital when his mind was clear, he could see that person looking at him with those unpredictable and profound eyes, wondering what he was thinking about.

Is this moment a dream?

Without warning, Tong Yuguang's shrewd and beautiful eyes locked on him, his handsome and gentle face has not changed for eight years, but what about him, Jiang Maoyou?His temple hair is white, and more gray hair is hidden in the long hair tied up. Because of taking poison, he has been unable to use his internal strength for eight years, let alone practicing martial arts to strengthen his body.

Probably also retribution.

Thinking about it, Jiang Maoyou pretended not to see that person, turned around and continued walking, slowly walking into the crowd.At the other end of the bridge, Tong Yuguang watched Jiang Maoyou walk away expressionlessly, suddenly feeling deeply puzzled and nervous.That person is definitely Jiang Maoyou, but why can he look away so nonchalantly?

Could it be that Tong Yuguang couldn't arouse any feelings in Jiang Maoyou's heart?

"Maoyou..."

Ming Shifan caught up with Tong Yuguang with several wrapped presents in his arms, and shouted, "Master, master, you, you're walking so fast."

"Shifan, I'm sure Jiang Maoyou lives here. However, he doesn't seem to recognize me at all."

"How is this possible, Jiang Maoyou is not dead." He immediately covered his mouth after speaking, regretting his answer.

Tong Yuguang looked lost, his eyes kept falling on the crowd far away, and he muttered: "I am insignificant to him? He doesn't feel the slightest bit about me, doesn't he even feel guilty..."

Ming Shifan didn't quite understand the details, so he answered with a few words: "If Jiang's family still doesn't know you when they're alive, could it be because of some shock that they lost their memory?"

"Amnesia?" Tong Yuguang came back to his senses with bright eyes.

Ming Shifan looked away a little too much, and replied: "Uh, yes, it's possible." Why a man who looks like a wolf like a leopard has such beautiful and dangerous eyes is really scary.

Tong Yuguang was a little unwilling, why did that man forget himself like this, and slowly clenched his fists tightly. "Shifan."

"I am here!"

"Go and find out if there is someone like Jiang Maoyou in Xuanmeng Mansion."

"what?"

"Go buy some more gifts and send them to the government office and various orders. I will know today."

"Uh yes yes, I'll go right away."

***

"Zhang Lu, this is a painting that Master Shen wants to give to Master Lu. If there is no one to pick it up in the future, you can deliver it yourself."

"Oh, okay." The young Zhang Lu was introduced by a friend as a helper, and another named Xu Tianyi had a slight cough. Jiang Maoyou was afraid that he might catch the cold, so he asked him to rest at home today.These two teenagers come here to make money, and they are not busy with work in Xuanli. They study whenever they have free time. They are motivated children.

After thinking about it, Jiang Maoyou had nothing to explain, so he asked Zhang Lu to continue looking at the shop, and went around to the tea room to make tea and read books.Near noon, Jiang Fangxue ran back excitedly, holding something with both hands, and jumped up to him with a happy face, shouting: "Daddy, daddy!"

"What's the matter? I've told you several times that boys need to learn to be steady. You're like a monkey now, you know?"

"We caught this, you help Gu first, I want to play with Yao Yao in the bamboo forest."

"Ah, Zhulin, okay, you go. Uh, wait a minute, what are you giving me?" Jiang Maoyou confusedly took what his son stuffed, a fluffy and warm ball, and he spread his palms to look at it. , looked up and scolded: "Fangxue, why did you catch a mouse for me!"

Jiang Fangxue had run away and couldn't hear him, but the ball of fur in Jiang Maoyou's palm looked up obediently at him.Jiang Maoyou narrowed his eyes, a little disdainful. Recently, many children have started to raise some birds or small animals. It seems that Fangxue has also been affected.

"Could it be that he's lonely as a child?" Jiang Maoyou thought, holding the cute thing to his face and looking at it, then gave it a sunflower seed, and it immediately started to nibble on it, looking very funny.

"If you want to raise a bird, you should raise a bird. What kind of mouse should you raise?" He looked at it, and said after a while, "The coat color is not bad." Purple brown mixed with golden orange, I think this kind of mouse is called sunflower mouse, and it likes to eat grain seeds. .

There seemed to be guests outside, and they said they wanted to see the boss. Zhang Lu hurried over and said, "Boss Jiang, someone called you."

There is only a carved wooden flower wall between the shop and the tea room, and there is a screen. The visitors pace gracefully, and their eyes follow Zhang Lu's voice to the tea room, where they see a young man in secret color clothes seriously eating melon seeds , talking to a fur ball on the table that was also eating melon seeds.

"See me? Regular customer?"

Zhang Lu described it: "No, he is a stranger, but he is well dressed and has a good temperament. Maybe he was introduced by a regular customer. Oh, he looks taller than the boss."

Jiang Maoyou frowned, glanced at him, picked up the sunflower mouse and stuffed it into Zhang Lu's arms: "Guess."

"Uh, boss, I'm afraid of this, I'm afraid of mice!"

Jiang Maoyou turned back and poked his forehead and said, "Then you think it's a little pig. Anyway, it's fat and fluffy, heh."

He smiled and ignored Zhang Lu's flurry, turned his head and walked out with a smile on his face, almost bumped into the person standing at the entrance, only to find out that it was Tong Yuguang after he looked closely.Mingshi Fan behind him pointed at him and wailed, "Ah, I'm really alive!"

Jiang Maoyou immediately put on a puzzled look, raised his eyebrows and smiled bitterly, and asked, "Would you two guests want to buy tea or tea utensils? If you are a tea merchant who wants to consign the goods, you must first make an appointment to draw up a contract. I still heard that Shen Qian is here, if you want to invite He can also tell me when he is painting, I am good friends with him, so I can give you some discounts.”

Facing Jiang Maoyou's face as a businessman, Tong Yuguang was not surprised, but carefully observed his reaction when he saw him, but found that Maoyou's reaction to him was too calm and natural, just like ordinary people.

"This year, we have imported a batch of loose tea from overseas. I would like to ask Nian Yunxuan for help."

With a smile on his face, Jiang Maoyou nodded and said: "Really. For different things, we have listed the detailed cooperation content. I will give you a copy of the brochure first. If you have any comments, please let me know and make an appointment. talk."

Tong Yuguang's gaze was fixed on Jiang Maoyou's face, he answered calmly, and asked, "Boss Jiang, won't you ask us about our origin first?"

"Origin? Oh, isn't it the head of Tongyun Company, as well as the shrewd manager Ming. I have also seen the world a little, so how could I not recognize it?"

"Maoyou..."

Jiang Maoyou didn't seem to have heard of him calling him by his own name. Ming Shifan took the brochure he handed over. Tong Yuguang looked at him thoughtfully, and after a while he said, "Can you find some time now? I think Talk to you."

"Okay, what are we talking about?" Jiang Maoyou's face remained calm, which made Tong Yuguang a little confused.

"Go to the next street and find a restaurant to sit and talk."

"The restaurants in the next street are very expensive. If you don't go to the next street, the food there is delicious and cheap snacks. Lao Qin also has a stall there. Let's go and sit at his stall."

Tong Yuguang narrowed his eyes and confirmed, "Qin Siyuan?"

"He was right."

"I'll pay, and we'll go to a restaurant to eat."

"Hey, don't you miss Lao Qin's cooking, don't you miss it? What restaurant do you want to eat..." Before Jiang Maoyou finished speaking, he found that Tong Yuguang took his right hand and walked out of Nianyunxuan.

"Shifan, don't follow me."

"Huh?" Mingshi Fan was stunned, pointing to himself: "Then I, I... Forget it, I'll go back first. That person just now is really Jiang Maoyou, still alive?"

Tong Yuguang took Jiang Maoyou for lunch, and asked for a secluded room in a "noble" restaurant.Jiang Maoyou had no scruples, so he ordered a few baskets of dim sum without anyone coming to greet him, and ate them freely.

Tong Yuguang kept observing him. Although his hair was a little white, his appearance was more childish than before. The scene of eating melon seeds to the sunflower mouse just now was still a childlike innocence. After all, Jiang Maoyou seemed to be a child, but after the Eight years, he is also a handsome man.

"Are you just looking at it or not eating it?" Jiang Maoyou raised his head and asked him, with the oily luster of the soup dumpling on his lips.

"You remember me."

"Well, I remember."

"You saw me that day."

"When?"

"The day of the tea market."

"Oh..." Jiang Maoyou took a sip of tea, wiped his mouth and said, "What do you want to talk about?"

"I never believed you were dead."

Jiang Maoyou's expression froze slightly, and he said, "Don't talk about those past events."

Tong Yuguang sighed and smiled. "Yeah. The past is all over. No matter what you love or not, the one who lives will continue to live."

"This cage is delicious, you have a taste. By the way, what do you want to talk about in Tongdong's family?"

"Do you have no complaints against me? Why are you talking and laughing like this..."

The corner of Jiang Maoyou's lips curled up and he chuckled.

"How can the old debt be settled? Just put it aside and don't look back. People are right and wrong. If you still want to worry about Dou Xuemo with me, I can answer you clearly. I have a clear conscience and I don't owe anything." You guys. If you want to complain, you can complain, and if you want to get revenge, just turn it on me. Anyway, I am nothing, but don’t touch anyone else, or I won’t make it easier for you.”

Tong Yuguang frowned slightly, and asked, "Is this how I am in your heart?"

"It's not against you." Jiang Maoyou said with a smile: "In my eyes, everyone is like this, this is human nature. Also, don't think that you are the only one who lost your loved one..."

The atmosphere was a bit dull, Jiang Maoyou put down his chopsticks, poured tea for each other, and said, "Just do it. As you said, let the past go, and the old score will be settled."

Tong Yuguang raised his glass to him, he hesitated seeing him drink it all down.

"If you're a man, just be more straightforward."

Tong Yuguang also drank the cup of tea in one gulp, but felt a little astringent in his heart.

"If it's not on me, and I don't have anything special to discuss, I have to go back to the Xuanli."

"Moyou, how are you doing?"

Jiang Maoyou was turning around to leave the table, paused his movements, looked at people with his eyes, and said with a half smile: "It has nothing to do with you. Don't bother you. If you are afraid of me being entangled in the future, I won't be so cheap, besides, I have never I loved you, but I just admired and liked you at the beginning, but I was not tempted, can you feel at ease now?"

Listening to Jiang Maoyou's explanation with a smile, Tong Yuguang's frown became deeper and deeper.

"You still don't have a crush yet?"

Jiang Maoyou got up slowly, tilted his head to think like Fangxue, and replied with a smile: "That's not important. Are you still alone? I have a son. If you are not busy, I will let you meet him. He is cute. Quite, just a little silly."

Looking at his brilliance and smiling face, Tong Yuguang frowned more and more, and even asked suspiciously, "You have a son?" In the past eight years, nothing frightened Tong Yuguang, but this time he really showed a surprised expression.

Jiang Maoyou smiled a little wickedly, saying that he would turn over the old score, but he still couldn't help but want to frustrate this man's spirit, heh. "Yeah. He's a little guy. I call him a fool."

Back at Nianyunxuan, Zhang Lu said that Fangxue had come back and was helping the sunflower mouse to arrange a house.Jiang Maoyou and Tong Yuguang saw that the child had planed pine sawdust somewhere, spread it in a thick layer in the bamboo basket, called Xiao Tao, and even took his name.

"Fangxue, you don't know if it's male or female, so you named it Xiaotao?"

"Father." Jiang Fangxue turned her head and saw a more stable and handsome man than her father standing in the corridor, she suddenly turned introverted.

"He is the owner of Tongyun Company, and he is an old acquaintance of my father. You can just call him Uncle Tong. Your little peach scared Zhang Lu half to death. Take care of it and don't let it run around. Otherwise, I will call him Uncle Tong. Qin burned it and ate it."

Jiang Fangxue picked up Xiaotao and scolded: "Father, you are so bad! Xiaotao is so cute, you can't eat it!"

"Really?" Jiang Maoyou shrugged: "I don't care, I'll eat anything when I'm hungry, hehe."

Tong Yuguang blushed silently, and couldn't help interjecting: "Don't scare the children."

Jiang Maoyou laughed and said: "You don't understand. Children just want to scare them when they grow up. Didn't your parents scare you when you were young?"

"...Well..." Tong Yuguang thought for a while, and replied: "Yes. They said that as a Tong family, you must not make any mistakes. Otherwise, the land will be annexed and the family property will be confiscated. It is a fluke for the family to be reduced to the streets. The worst thing would be to wipe out the whole family. When my father was still alive, he had close contacts with the officialdom, so he was so eloquent, but the generation of the great-grandfather was actually not on this scale. I heard that the great-grandfather used to beg for a living when he was young."

Jiang Maoyou stared at him in astonishment after finishing a paragraph, then smiled dryly: "Your parents are so ruthless, they used their wealth and lives to scare you since childhood. Then we are quite alike, huh."

"No wonder you can always see everything detached."

"Each to each other."

Jiang Fangxue didn't know where to go again, but suddenly appeared again, holding a double candy box and ran to the corridor, and smiled shyly at Tong Yuguang: "Uncle Tong, do you want some candy?"

"This kid wants to curry favor with you, so don't spoil him," Jiang Maoyou said.

"Will it be sweet?"

Jiang Fangxue shook her head: "No, Dad won't buy me too sweet candy."

Tong Yuguang picked out a bright white candy and put it in his mouth, and said, "Thank you, Fang Xue."

"Hey, you won't please father if you please him?"

Jiang Fangxue removed the top layer of sugar, put the plums dipped in powdered sugar on the bottom layer, and asked, "Dad, do you eat this kind of plums?"

"Eat, why don't you eat it." Jiang Maoyou put the plum in his mouth, and happily stirred out a bit complicated sweet and sour with his tongue.Out of the corner of his eye, he felt that Tong Yuguang had been staring at him, and he greeted him generously, and returned a questioning look.

"Maybe I will stay in Xuanmeng Mansion for a while, and come back to disturb me another day."

"Well, welcome anytime."

"Maoyou."

"Huh?" Jiang Maoyou tried his best to pick up the plum meat with his tongue, his mouth was a little crooked, he looked funny, and he didn't look like a father at all.

"I never thought of coming to hold you accountable. I just wanted to know if you were doing well. I was rude to come to see you in a hurry. I'm sorry."

Jiang Maoyou smiled and waved his hands, teasing him: "What are you talking about. Forget it... I also forgot about those messy things before. I was young and ignorant, but now I see you as a bright mirror and still water, with a very clean mind."

When Tong Yuguang left Nianyunxuan, Qin Siyuan happened to come back, saw Tong walking out of Nianyunxuan, his eyes widened, he hurried back, and found that the second father and son surnamed Jiang were eating melon seeds against a sunflower rat, frowning and saying : "What kind of scene is this?"

"Ah, Lao Qin, you are back."

"I saw Tong Yuguang just now."

"Yeah, yeah."

Qin Siyuan sat close to the tea table and asked, "Why are you acting like nothing is wrong, you have nothing to say to me?"

"I should tell you a few words to make you feel at ease." Jiang Maoyou said with a smile: "Don't worry too much, he is different from the man I hate and can't move. He really cares about my life. When he knows that I am here If there is nothing to be concerned about, he will walk away by himself. He is not like me before, holding evil eyes all day long."

Qin Siyuan was even more surprised, and said: "So you are quite self-aware!"

"Pooh."

"It's fine."

Jiang Maoyou snorted softly, nodded and said, "I originally thought that if he wanted to fill Dou Xuemo's position with me, I would say I have you."

Qin Siyuan listened in a daze for a long while before he finally understood what Jiang Maoyou said, his face turned from blue to black in an instant, because he was afraid of Fangxue's presence so he held back his words and didn't scold him.He didn't want to sacrifice his innocence for Jiang Maoyou, he, he was killed because he loved women, bastard!

Jiang Maoyou smiled maliciously, but remembered Tong Yuguang's matter.I saw him in my dream, but I was still gripped by a sore and tingling pain in my heart, but when I saw him in reality, it was unexpectedly calm and natural, as if I really just met an old acquaintance.

Maybe the dream in the dream is the unwillingness and pain that I can't let go of, but now I can finally face it and bury it well.

It doesn't matter whether they love or not, hate or hate, no matter what they thought at the time, they have come to this point with the remaining things, and there is no reason to fill themselves into the pit of turning back.Now Jiang Maoyou is very peaceful in his heart, and just wants to spend the day in an ordinary way.
