The warm fragrance blows on the face, and the fragrant tea is worshipped.

The process of making an appointment was very simple. The Lian family came to the door with the dowry gift, handed over the dowry gift list, and the two parties set a date for the wedding, and it was considered completed.So Zhennan Wang doesn't need to come here today, but if Princess Meng said to come, then he will come no matter what...

No matter why the Lian family set up this marriage in the first place, it is a fact that Chi Canghai wants to become her son's husband and wife. As a mother, the first consideration is the happiness of her son, so naturally she has to take a look at the other party's appearance and character. It was because she was a man that she was even more worried, and of course she had to look more carefully.

Lin Danyang was about to ask the servant girl to put some light on, but the concubine spoke first: "I heard that the design of this house is ingenious, and there is a heart-connecting lake beside the flower hall. I wonder if I can let my concubine appreciate it?"

Lin Danyang knew that Princess Meng didn't intend to appreciate the scenery, and he didn't want to disobey her, but said happily: "Of course, it's rare for Princess Meng to appreciate the scenery."

In fact, it is Chi Canghai's first visit to this flower hall. Since he moved in, he hasn't had time to take a good look around his house. Now he realizes that the lake is not small, surrounded by lush flowers and plants, shaded by pavilions, even though it is winter , I didn't feel desolate at all.Moreover, there is a plum grove on the other side of the lake. In terms of tree species, white plum is his favorite.

The servant ordered a lot of charcoal basins to surround them, and then the maids served tea one after another, no less than ten orders.

Concubine Meng originally thought that the front hall was too restrained, and it would be more casual to change to an elegant place, but after seeing the design of this garden, it is indeed worthy of the word "ingenious". Feeling relaxed and happy, I couldn't help but praise it sincerely.

Because of Princess Meng's kindness and generosity, there was no silence at the table. Lin Danyang was well-informed, and occasionally made a joke. For a while, the atmosphere was harmonious.The concubine would occasionally chat with Chi Canghai, most of which were interesting folk stories, and he would comment on them with a smile, but if there were too many, he would stop talking. In fact, he also wanted to relax and join the conversation, but there was always a line of sight Stare at him, tell him how to relax...

Picking up the teacup in front of him and taking a sip, he said 'huh' in his heart: isn't this the tea from his house?

There is a special person in charge of his food and drink, but he told Ginkgo to buy the only tea he often drinks. It may be because things are always reversed, and his first life was too miserable, so in the last life, Chi Canghai lived. Very fine, know how to enjoy life, especially love the tea ceremony.Although his health in his last life was much better than this life, he also suffered from low blood pressure. Although he prefers Longjing, but for the sake of his health, he gradually gave up the habit of drinking green tea, so his Canghaijuli only has oolong tea. What he drinks most often is Dahongpao, but what is in his teacup right now is the best cloud and mist.

It is also possible that Lin Danyang prepared better tea for the guests because of the visit from Zhennan Prince’s Mansion today, but Dahongpao is the sage of tea, and there is a saying that “holy water moistens the tree first, and the king and ministers are all gracious” The allusion, given the name of "No. [-] Tea" by the emperor, is incomparable to Yunwu, so there is only one possibility...

"The taste is mellow, the fragrance is refreshing, it is indeed the top grade, why? Canghai is the same as this concubine, do you like clouds and mist?" Princess Meng looked at Chi Canghai with a smile, obviously the tea was to her liking.

Chi Canghai sighed in his heart: Sure enough... Then he glanced at Lian Jingxiao, and saw that the other party was drinking tea by himself, as if he hadn't heard anything.To be able to understand Wang Hao's preferences so well, and to make tea appear in front of Wang Hao calmly, Chi Canghai will not be second-guessed.

If you like tea, you must be a tea lover... Chi Canghai looked at Princess Meng and smiled slightly: "Let Canghai make a cup of tea for Princess Meng." After speaking, he walked towards the small table with the tea set on the side.

Several people looked at Chi Canghai with great interest, and saw that he first cleaned his hands in the copper basin brought by the maid, then cleaned the tea utensils one by one, then put the tea leaves, poured boiling water, let the water touch the The tea leaves are quickly poured out to remove the unclean and unroasted tea quality, and then pour boiling water, "nod" three times, which is the implication of the three nods of the phoenix. The lid brushes off the tea foam, then closes the lid of the pot to suppress the aroma, and then pours boiling water all over the body of the pot.

A series of smooth and flowing movements, coupled with his long black hair, good-looking eyebrows, slender fingers like jade, and a white dress, he is really elegant. Princess Meng couldn't help sighing, such a calm atmosphere, it is really not like 16 years old.

After the tea was brewed, Chi Canghai poured the tea into the justice cup, then divided it into small cups, and served it to everyone himself.Princess Meng smelled it, and she was pleasantly surprised: "This tea soup is very fragrant." Then she took a sip: "The soup color is good, and the taste is also good. Canghai's tea cooking skills are really amazing."

Chi Canghai just smiled: "May the princess borrow the teacup from Canghai?"

Concubine Meng nodded, Chi Canghai covered the teacup and shook it clockwise, using skillful energy, when he put down the teacup and lifted the lid, the tea leaves inside swirled and spread out first, like a flower in full bloom Flowers are beautiful.

Princess Meng was astonished, and it took a long time before she praised: "This is really amazing."

Chi Canghai smiled and said: "It's just a trick, the princess will laugh at me."

He once had a patient's lover who was a teacher of a tea art school. She was hospitalized for a long time because of her unstable condition, and her lover actually moved all the tea ceremony tools to the hospital to pass the time. This trick was fun at the time. Learned from him.In fact, with Chi Canghai's temperament, he didn't expect to deliberately please anyone. He did this today because Princess Meng's attitude towards him from the beginning to the end, even the inadvertent expression, was friendly. Because of his identity, even if the other party Even if he gave him a supercilious look, he actually had nothing to say. Now this scene was beyond his expectation.One more thing... Since someone has put a lot of thought into him, he is not indifferent, so if he smiles at his mother, he should act as a filial piety...

Princess Meng liked it very much: "From now on, how about coming to make tea for me often?"

This means that he has already recognized the identity of his daughter-in-law. Chi Canghai was taken aback for a moment, not to mention how much he wanted to be a good concubine, but it is always good to have a good relationship with Lian's family, so he said with a smile: " It should be."

Princess Meng simply pulled Chi Canghai to sit on the side table, watched Chi Canghai cook tea, and would ask a few questions from time to time, which showed great interest.And Lian Jingxiao didn't say a word from the beginning to the end, but the smile on his face was deeper.

Seeing his wife's happy appearance, King Zhennan sighed slightly: It would be great if it was a woman... Then he looked at Lian Jingxiao: "I heard that you have increased the taxes of the chieftains in Huainan by [-]%?"

Because Lin Danyang and Lian Jingxiao have known each other for many years, and Lian's family has cooperated with him in many industries in Huainan, so when Zhennan Wang spoke, he did not shy away from it.

Lian Jingxiao nodded when he heard it: "The chieftain is only [-]%, and there are a few princes who have been confiscated by the emperor. I am thinking whether to take someone to snatch it."

King Zhennan looked at his son's serious expression, and didn't know whether he was serious or joking. Although he had thought about Jing Xiao's thoughts, he knew that he couldn't do this, so he couldn't help scolding: "Nonsense..."

In Huainan, there were indeed a few Marquises who were appointed by the first emperor when he was in power. Even Ruikang asked these old fellows to raise funds, crying poorly there, without any hair. Zhennan Wang had long thought that they were not pleasing to the eye, but after all, they were appointed by the emperor, so they could not be easily moved.

Lin Danyang knew about these things: "What? Is the account tight?"

Lian Jingxiao glanced at him pointingly: "Conscription."

With just these two words, Lin Danyang understood. Indeed, the army is a bottomless pit. Once the salaries, armaments, and rations go out, even if you have gold and silver mountains, it’s not enough to fill them up. But... he pondered for a while and opened his mouth. : "The number of shops in Huainan can't be increased now. I can do more business outside the feudal domain. I heard that the grassland has recently purchased a large number of Fuyunsi, but it will cost a few dollars to purchase, sell and transport from us. It only takes a few months to earn income, and now the emperor is very tight on the trade cards in Huainan, Qinbei, and Shanxi, and places more restrictions on the quantity of goods sold outside the feudal domain, so the income will be even slower."

King Zhennan hummed, it was obvious that the emperor was targeting several feudal princes by doing this.

Chi Canghai was making tea here, but he kept listening to the conversation of the few people over there, thoughtfully.Princess Meng noticed that he was distracted while looking there, so she patted his hand lightly, and she was very kind: "Don't pay attention to those things about their men."

Chi Canghai was helpless, otherwise, should he have thought about embroidery women?

Lian Jingxiao glanced this way when he heard the movement, just in time to see Chi Canghai's embarrassed expression, and sighed: "Mother, Canghai is a man."

Princess Meng curled her lips. In her opinion, there are already two men in the family who talk about state affairs and political affairs all day long. After finally marrying a daughter-in-law, Cang Hai should naturally talk to her more.

Chi Canghai returned Princess Meng with a conciliatory smile, thought for a while and said, "If you add a new line of business, wouldn't it be great if the chieftains and Lord Hou voluntarily take out the money?"

Zhennan Wang asked curiously: "What business?"

Chi Canghai: "To make money from a woman, or to put it another way, a woman who is pregnant with Liujia."

Several people looked at each other, not understanding what Chi Canghai meant, and Lian Jingxiao looked at him: "How to make money?"

Chi Canghai: "Those chieftains, Lord Hou's wealth, worked his whole life, just for the beauty to smile, dote on concubines in groups, and then the family prospers, branches and leaves spread, they are not afraid of spending money, they just want to see the money spent Is it worth it, if I can keep their heirs and concubines safe, will they be willing to give the money away?"

The reason is very clear, but everyone is still at a loss as to what Chi Canghai is going to do, Lin Danyang thought for a while and said: "Although it is always dangerous for a woman to conceive and give birth, it has been like this since ancient times, what better way can you do? Besides, the doctors in each family are taking care of things like abortion, if you just talk empty words, I'm afraid..."

Lin Danyang didn't finish what he said, but everyone understood that it might be hard for people to believe it.

Chi Canghai just smiled slightly: "Why don't you give me a month to give it a try?"

Although a few people were curious, they were weighing it up. It was not for other reasons. It was just that this kind of business might involve human life and reputation. They always had some concerns. But looking at Chi Canghai, he curled his lips and smiled: "Okay."

In a word, it's a deal.
