Chapter 675 Tea Induction

Rehe, the Third Prince Wangyuan.

Taking advantage of the cool weather in the morning, Kangxi walked and looked at the scenery around. Although it was not the first time, it was a unique atmosphere because of the addition of new lake and stone rockery and pavilions.

Behind Kangxi were the prince, the civil and military ministers and others who were accompanying him.

The sixteenth prince followed him for a while, then landed behind and pulled Cao Yong away from the crowd.

"Is there anything wrong with Master Sixteen?" Cao Yong asked when he saw that Prince Sixteen seemed to be in a hurry.

The sixteenth prince nodded and said with a smile: "The third brother at the left and right wants to invite the emperor. We are nothing, it is rare to come out. Furuo will accompany me out for a walk."

While talking, he looked at Cao Yong and himself. He was wearing prince's clothes and Cao Yong was wearing peacock clothes.

The sixteenth prince shook his head and said, "This won't work. Let's go to your house to change clothes first." At this point, he turned his head and told Zhao Feng, "Have you brought the clothes out?"

Zhao Feng bowed and said, "I will take it out and keep it in the hands of the guard Wu."

The sixteenth prince nodded and told Cao Yong out of the third prince's garden. When he walked to the door, he explained to the butler here, saying that there was something else in the yamen, so he asked him to mention it to the third prince.

After riding on the horse, the sixteenth prince told the truth: "I went to the Qi Ge Garden yesterday, so those people were not allowed to stay on the Qi Ge's side. The Fan Sheng and Li both had their bodies, so it was not easy to bring them into the palace at this time. I thought about it and wanted to buy a house to settle them."

The "they" mentioned by the Sixteenth Prince is the palace maids who were selected by the palace general who served him when he came to Beijing in March.

Regarding this, Cao Yong couldn't say anything and asked, "If you want to buy a house, is the money in the Sixteenth Master's hands enough? If you have tight hands, I just happened to have some extra money."

The sixteenth prince turned around, looked at the garden of Prince Cheng's mansion in the distance, turned around, and said with a smile: "It's just to buy a clean and quiet little house, not to clean up such a big garden, and there is no shortage of money."

When he arrived at the Cao family's villa, the sixteenth prince did not forget to see his cousin's aunt Li first. He said a few words to accompany him, and then went to the guest room and changed into regular clothes.

When he was shaking the folding fan in his hand, walking square steps, and walking on the street with a smile, the sixteenth prince could no longer see the prince, just like an ordinary noble son.

The guards who followed him also changed into regular clothes, were chased by the Sixteenth Prince, and spread out to protect him. Zhao Feng was an eunuch. Although he was in his twenties, he looked like a boy from the fifteenth or sixth century, and looked like a servant.

"Since I want to buy a house, I'll send someone to do it. Why do we run away in person in a hot day?" Cao Yong raised his head, looked at the sun in the sky, and asked.

"I just made the idea yesterday. Besides, this is the first time I have been buying a delivery. I am excited and want to see it myself." The sixteenth prince shook the fan and raised his eyebrows and said.

"Do you want to choose me, or are you afraid that someone will let go of the storm and spread to the Sixteenth Concubine?" Cao Yong smiled and said when he saw him proudly.

The sixteenth prince was speechless immediately, closed the fan, knocked Cao Yong on the shoulder hard, and said, "I'm twelve, I'm tired, I'll find a place to have tea first, and send someone to call the financial company."

The sixteenth prince always joked that he was "fearing his inner self" and had a rare opportunity to fight back. Cao Yong's face smiled even more.

The Sixteenth Prince was too lazy to look at him, pointed to a teahouse not far away and said, "It looks good there, let's go there."

Behind the Sixteenth Prince and Cao Yong were the 16th Prince's personal eunuch Zhao Feng and Cao Yong's servant Xiaoman.

"Zhao, why don't you grow up? It was so tall in the past few years, but it's still so tall in the past few years. Master Sixteenth did not give you delicious food. He looked like a little chicken, without two taels of meat?" Xiaoman looked at Zhao Feng and whispered.

Zhao Feng couldn't help frowning, stopped, turned his head and said, "Master is the most generous. Can I still be hungry? I'm just growing up early, look at you. A few years ago, who was a small man, and he was bullied when he went out?"

After hearing this, Xiaoman smiled and pushed his back, saying, "It's not long before it grows. Let's go, the masters are still waiting."

After entering the teahouse, the sixteenth prince wanted to see the street view, so he picked up the table next to the window with Cao Yong and sat down. Zhao Feng and Xiaoman stood near the front, and the other guards and followers, and a few followed the room and sat in the hall, and a few stood around outside.

The guy held a rag in his hand and wiped the table with a smile, "Two guests, what kind of tea do you want to order? I dare not be good about anything else. Speaking of this tea, no one in Rehe City dares to say that it is better than us."

"What a big tone, I'm not afraid of the wind blowing my tongue." The sixteenth prince closed the fan and knocked on his palm, saying, "What good tea is there? Report it to me. Don't just say a false name and use some broken tea stems to fool people."

Listening to the Sixteenth Prince's sip of Beijing movies, the guy smiled and said, "I heard that the guest officer came from the capital. I have seen any good tea designated by the designated one. West Lake Longjing, Huangshan Maojian, Yizhou winter tea, Fujian Tieguanyin, Erhai Longfeng Tuan Tea, there are all here. Guest officer, look, what are you here?"

"It's okay to say anything else, what's going on with that winter tea? Don't rush to make it, just bring the tea for you to see." The Sixteenth Prince asked in a strange way.

"This is not an ordinary tea. Although it is not as famous as Biluochun and Longjing, it tastes good and has a high price. I heard that this is a private tea from the Prince's Mansion in Beijing. The good tea that the "Tea Boy" found in Shandong was an official in the early years. There were not many good teas in the world. People outside couldn't buy it evenly. Our boss had some connections in Beijing, so he got two kilograms. I originally wanted to keep it to drink Tiji tea, but in order to support the store, I even gave half a kilogram. A pot costs one tael and six cents of silver. The young one took it for the customer to take it away." The guy smiled and turned around to get the tea.

After hearing this, the sixteenth prince laughed and said to Cao Yong: "Look, you have become famous outside the border."

Cao Yong also found it funny. When could this Yizhou winter tea beside the West Lake Longjing and Huangshan Maojian? It is not that winter tea is not good, but that there are only about ten acres of tea gardens there. The tea is tender and picking tea cores. There is not much in a year for a few acres of land. The families in Beijing are not enough to travel to the outside world. How could it be transmitted to the outside?

For a while, the guy was holding a tray with a fist-sized blue and white tea leaf jar on it.

The guy put down the tray, opened the tea pot, put half a spoon in the small spoon, and sent it to the sixteenth prince, and said with a smile: "Customer, look, it's tenderer than the hairy needle. It's just that other teas want to be faked. The picking solar terms are different and the taste is different. When the tea soup is brewed, I will be able to taste authentic or not."

The Sixteenth Prince looked carefully, feeling a little suspicious. He glanced at the mate and said, "Since it is the private tea of ​​the royal family, you can find it. I think it is also a person with status and face. I don't know what to call him? Whose family's children?"

"I'm just a guy, but I don't know so much. I only know that my boss's surname is Wang, and I'm doing business in Guanli." The guy smiled and put away the tea leaves, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Two guests, this tea..."

The sixteenth prince waved his hand and said, "Put a pot..." While speaking, he saw two tables of guards sitting not far away, and pointed, "There is also a pot on each table over there. I'll treat you. If there are tea fruits or something, I'll carry a few plates."

Seeing that he was so generous, the guy went down to make tea with a smile.

The Sixteenth Prince smiled and asked Cao Yong: "The surname is Wang, isn't it because the female shopkeeper of the Thirteenth Brother who has made the business awesome? One pot, one tael, six, it's like a robbery. One pound can cost hundreds of taels of silver."

Upon hearing this, Cao Yong shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be her. She has a steady personality and the Thirteenth Master is in a special situation. He will not be so rash. In order to make money, he will do his business to the point of being rehe."

"Then whose house did this tea flow out?" The sixteenth prince touched his chin and thought.

The Yizhou winter tea made was the few acres of tea gardens that Cao Yong bought at the Taotai position. He gave the remaining portion to Cao Yi.

Three princes, two unlicensed princes, and one mansion, this tea is well deserved to be called the private tea of ​​the royal palace.

Seeing that the Sixteenth Prince was so sensible, Cao Yong asked with a smile: "Did Master Sixteenth Prince forget the serious business? It's not for the sake of tea."

"Are you serious?" After hearing this, the Sixteenth Prince patted his forehead and remembered that he had not sent anyone to find the real estate economy. He hurriedly reached out and called a guard to come over and asked him to go out to find someone.

"It's really strange. There are so many teahouses in this capital, but I haven't heard of anyone selling this winter tea. I didn't expect that Rehe would even ask us to meet him." The Sixteenth Prince couldn't help but curiosity and ordered Zhao Feng to call the shopkeeper.

After a while, the shopkeeper came over with a smile on his face, followed by a guy holding a tray.

The shopkeeper took the tea tray from the clerk, poured tea for the sixteenth prince and Cao Yong himself, and served it with both hands. Then he smiled and said, "The guest drinks slowly, I don't know how to come to find a villain..."

The sixteenth prince did not answer immediately, picked up the teacup, put it under his nose and sniffed it, then sent it to his mouth and took a sip, saying, "This tea is not as mellow as Longjing, nor is it as fragrant as Biluochun. Why is it so expensive? An ordinary good tea is only two or three taels of silver per pound."

The shopkeeper replied with a smile: "Isn't this old saying that things are expensive because they are rare? This winter tea soup is light, and the people in the south are fine, but the people in the north may not be used to drinking it. The villain had also had the honor to drink a cup, but it was not as good as the chunk of tea to eat, but it was just a taste of it."

The sixteenth prince nodded and said, "I have an uncle. The old man is a good tea. I have been thinking about this winter tea for several years. It's just because it's a great family. There's a few dollars outside and there's no place to buy it. Since you've encountered it, I have to spend money and be filial to the old man."

When the shopkeeper heard this, he knew that there was a big deal and his face became more and more happy, and he said, "It's good that he can only gather half a pound of money. I have to leave some hospitality with us, right?"

The sixteenth prince waved his hand and said, "What is this? Mr. Banjin can't even take advantage of it. Didn't he say that the boss has two jin? No matter how much money, he has made a lot of money." He said, he hesitated for a moment and said, "How come he knows if this tea is authentic? He has never eaten such a rare thing before."

The shopkeeper heard this and lowered his voice and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, you must be fine. Our boss is also a person with status, otherwise he would not have done business in Rehe City. Where is Rehe? Is this Rehe? Is it the palace of Master Long Live?"

The sixteenth prince still frowned, looked at the teacup in his hand, and said, "Don't spend money or buy fakes, it's nothing to make people laugh at."

The shopkeeper was hesitant and hesitant.

Cao Yong watched coldly for a long time, and saw that the shopkeeper didn't seem to know anything, so he winked at Xiaoman.

Xiaoman stepped forward and stuffed a silver ingot into the shopkeeper's hand.

The shopkeeper copied the ingot into his sleeve and said, "Master, I'm going to tell you that our boss is also a person with status and is in the flag. Our son-in-law is a royal relative and has a common friendship with the prince and prince, so he can buy this tea."

"Is it a lie?" The sixteenth prince shook his head and said, "Since this tea is rare, how can you buy two pounds? He buys half a pound? Did he use the famous fakes to fool people? There are not many people around who have ever drunk it."

"Master, why are you talking about this lie? The tea leaves are now 180 taels per pound, which is not so expensive. The villain heard that in the early years, someone offered a price of 100 taels per pound of this tea." The shopkeeper said.

"This is strange. Isn't it said that this tea is getting cheaper and cheaper?" The Sixteenth Prince was puzzled.

The shopkeeper lowered his voice and said, "Early there was a price but no market. Later, there was a one who bought it out. The other managers looked at it and naturally became envious. It was originally something on the tree. If it was more careful, it would not be difficult to spend two or three taels of extra acre of land, or it would be rich."

"Oh, so that's it!" The Sixteenth Prince suddenly realized, and became more curious about the royal relative. He smiled and looked at the shopkeeper, saying, "This is a royal relative. This royal relative is too valuable. He is empty-mouthed and does not wait for such a fool."

The shopkeeper was so thrust that he couldn't help but said, "The villain really didn't miss this master. Our uncle's surname is Li. A girl came to the palace to be a nobleman. She was the concubine of the prince and the most noble."

The fourth prince has a concubine named Li next to these families with tea. I don’t know what the fourth prince will look like.

When the Sixteenth Prince thought of this, he felt something was wrong. His own concubine named Li, and the one who manages his tea garden business was Li's mother's brother.

Li's sister-in-law seems to have the surname Wang.

The Sixteenth Prince was already very angry and asked the shopkeeper, "I heard that your boss's surname is Wang. Did his sister marry the brother-in-law of the Sixteenth Prince? That Mr. Li is a generous person, and he has heard of his name."

The shopkeeper smiled and nodded in response, saying, "It's that person who is extremely decent in Beijing."

After talking, the guard who had just gone out to find someone had brought two real estate economies in to reply.

"This man, this house in his hand is located on North Street, which is the best Feng Shui. The house that has three entry is spacious and decent..." said one of them.

Another one says: "Although our house only has two entrances, we have a large garden, which is the best place to escape the summer heat. People living in front of us are all noble people from Beijing..."

The sixteenth prince was upset by the shouting, and slapped the table hard and said, "Get out, I won't buy it..."

The two of them went to the economy in vain and were not giving up. You Zi kept talking and was taken out by the guards.
