When Wei Hongwen got the news and hurried back to the capital, he was greeted by the sealed-up Hengyuanhou Mansion. Wei Hongwen was so anxious that he ran to Yunlong Pavilion to see Mr. An. Eunuch An only said one word to him: "Just put your heart in your stomach." After he said this, Wei Hongwen passed out. I rushed back all the way without eating or drinking, and the whole person couldn't hold on to the relaxation.
When Wei Hongwen "woke up", he wolfed down a meal, then took a bath, changed clothes and shaved, cleaned himself up, disguised himself, and followed Eunuch An to the General's Mansion.
The Empress had a stomachache, and Eunuch An, who only got the news later, rushed to the General's Mansion immediately, crying in front of the Empress. To put it bluntly, when Chitose was in the most pain, he, a slave, was not by his side to serve him. The Queen couldn't laugh or cry, and finally could only say that as long as he did a good job in business and sold this year's tea and wine at a high price, he would be the greatest tribute to himself, so Eunuch An reluctantly accepted it.
Entering the queen's room, Wei Hongwen knelt down. After a while, the queen, who was not in formal attire, came out of the inner room. Wei Hongwen immediately kowtowed and shouted: "Wei Hongwen, a grass-roots man, kowtows to the queen for a thousand years."
"Get up."
"Grassmen wear the body of sin and dare not get up."
The queen sat down, and Zhuo Jin immediately offered a cup of honey grapefruit tea. The queen picked up the tea bowl and said, "Get up."
Wei Hongwen kowtowed and stood up.
The Queen took a sip of grapefruit tea and asked, "Are you here this time for your elder brother, or for your father, or for the Hengyuan Houfu?"
Wei Hongwen bowed and said: "Caomin came here this time for my brother and also for my father." He didn't mention Hengyuanhou's mansion. He made such a statement to tell the Queen that the title is irrelevant before the lives of his family members.
The queen sang the grapefruit tea in a few sips, put down the empty tea bowl, and said with a look of satisfaction on her face, "Wei Hongzheng is treasonous, the crime of the son, and the responsibility of the father. Your Majesty is furious about this matter. Your Majesty did not immediately order everyone to be executed." , but because of the loyalty between you and your brother Wei Hongru."
Wei Hongwen looked up in shock.
The Empress said: "Your Majesty has made his own decisions in the Hengyuanhou's mansion. You should do your part well, and you can't interfere with the rest. This is the time for picking and making spring tea, and you have to do it yourself." Getting ready. Your brother Wei Hongfeng acts prudently, and I have other things for him to do."
The Queen never mentioned Hengyuan Hou. Wei Hongwen wanted to ask, but seeing Eunuch An's expression, he shut up. Kneeling and kowtowing, Wei Hongwen said: "Caomin would like to obey Qiantui's order. Caomin would like to thank Qiantui for his kindness."
This meeting between Wei Hongwen and the queen was very short. Eunuch An sent him out of the General's Mansion by the side door, and told him: "The emperor and Qiantui still value you two brothers very much, but your father, you still don't have to force it. The emperor may not kill him, but he cannot keep him." He is in the capital, you have to be prepared."
Wei Hongwen saluted gratefully: "Master Xie An reminded me, this subordinate knows what to do. It's just that this subordinate wants to meet my elder brother before leaving Beijing."
Eunuch An shook his head: "You are also an accomplice now, and you must not show your face. You will only be able to show your face when the emperor's order on the punishment of the Hengyuan Hou Mansion comes down."
"It's my subordinates who made things difficult for my lord. My subordinates go back and clean up before leaving. I also ask my lord to help my subordinates bring a letter to my brother."
"Can."
When Eunuch An came back, the Queen hadn't gone to bed yet. Eunuch An immediately stepped forward and said, "Thousands, Wei Hongwen is leaving Beijing tonight. He asked the slave to bring a letter to Wei Hongru, and the slave couldn't bear his disappointment, so he agreed."
The queen said indifferently: "You have always been cautious in doing things, and you should do what you say. I want Wei Hongwen and brothers to do things, but I can't chill their hearts."
"The servant has already reminded him that Wei Chunlin may have his life, but he cannot stay in the capital."
The queen nodded, and then turned to say: "Shao Yun'an was injured by Wei Hongzheng, you ask Zhuo Jin to pick some cloth and jewelry from the daughter's house from Mr. Fuli's private treasury and send them to him."
"Yes. The slave is also planning to choose some things to send over. He is also the nephew of the slave. He is injured. The slave must not ignore him. Chitose, it's getting late, you should rest."
The queen didn't say whether she wanted to rest, but asked: "An Hun, what do you think about Shao Yun'an's desire to do business with Dasi Kingdom?" Reply, now that you are in good health, the queen should reply to Shao Yun'an and the others as soon as possible.
An Ze said: "Chitose, to be honest, the ability of this slave to do business is not even comparable to Shao Yun'an's finger. The slave thinks that as long as you follow Shao Yun'an's intentions in doing business, it is absolutely right. Look, he asked us to The mahjong parlor was built. At the beginning, the servant thought that he could not earn much money. Who knows how long it will take, not to mention making a lot of money every day, but also allowing us to get news. Therefore, it is correct to listen to him.
He doesn't let us do business with real gold and silver in the Dasi Kingdom, and asks us to limit the quantity. This slave thinks it makes sense. There are a bunch of bandits all over the Dasi Kingdom. Letting them become rich is not good for us Dayan. The slave is I feel that he is thinking in the long term, otherwise, the slaves would not have thought of it. There are a lot of good things in this Dasi country. If we can exchange them for our Dayan, it will definitely make a lot of money. What is the Hengyuanhou mansion? In the future, our treasury will be worth ten Hengyuanhou mansions. "
The queen was amused by Anze's flattery, he quickly stopped laughing, and said: "Indeed, Shao Yun'an's business mind is much worse than Wei Hongwen's. You go to reply, this matter, this matter You agree. But I want to send him someone to take charge of this matter, and you want him to wait for a while until the person arrives before doing anything."
Eunuch An: "Chitose means..."
Queen: "Let 'him' go."
==================================================== ================
"Cough cough cough..."
Wang Shijing hurriedly patted his wife on the back, Shao Yunan choked on his trachea, and Jiang Kangning hurriedly brought him a cup of tea. After taking a sip of water to suppress his cough, Shao Yunan wiped his mouth in an unrefined manner and looked at Jiang Kangning: "Is this the end for Marquis Hengyuan?"
Jiang Kangning asked back: "If you don't finish, do you still want to watch him poke the emperor's eyes?"
Shao Yun'an sighed: "Hengyuan Hou was completely cheated by his own son."
Jiang Kangning said calmly: "Heng Yuan Hou is not finished now, and will be finished in the future. When the emperor was still the prince, he said he was neutral, but in fact he was not optimistic about the emperor. If he was willing to support the emperor financially , Your Majesty won't be that difficult."
Shao Yunan nodded: "This is the end of short-sightedness." Immediately, he was a little worried, "What about Wei Hongwen? He is not the same as that Wei Hongzheng. It is a pity that he was sentenced just like that. After all, he and I are the same. Some friends. Big brother, can you ask Weng Lao to intercede for him, and his brother. He and his brother seem to have a good relationship. "
Jiang Kangning said with a smile: "You just have to rest assured. The emperor sentenced the Hengyuan Hou's mansion to prison, but he didn't send anyone to chase Wei Hongwen, so he would spare the two brothers. Wei Hongwen worked for the queen, and the king Now is the time to employ people, so naturally he will not be blamed for this, but Wei Hongru, what the emperor and the empress plan to do is unknown. But I think the empress will give Wei Hongwen this face. Wei Hongru and Heng Yuanhou is different, he is a person who is really willing to do things and can do things, he is a talent."
Shao Yun'an: "That's good. No matter how you say it, we have friendship, we can be regarded as friends."
Jiang Kangning said: "Speaking of which, Wei Hongwen would also like to thank you. If you hadn't shown him a clear path, he would not have escaped this time."
Shao Yun'an said without humility: "This tells us that the thighs must be hugged thickly!"
Jiang Kangning: "..."
Shao Yun'an and Jiang Kangning received urgent letters from the capital. What Shao Yunan received was from Elder Cen, and what Jiang Kangning received was from Elder Weng. Shao Yun'an, Wang Shijing and Jiang Kangning had a detailed understanding of the situation in the capital through this letter. Mr. Cen sent two letters one after another. One letter was to tell him about the Queen's physical condition, ask about his injuries, and tell him that the Emperor and others noticed that the Queen had taken the Guyuan ointment and honey grapefruit tea he made. The body has recovered to health, not only that, but the emperor, Weng Lao and the old general Dai have all noticed it, so Shao Yun'an must be careful. The other letter was to tell him the emperor's disposition of the Hengyuanhou Mansion. In the letter, Elder Cen didn't mention how the emperor planned to deal with Wei Hongwen, so Shao Yun'an didn't know that the emperor wanted to be lenient towards him and Wei Hongru.
Shao Yunan was very moved. The adoptive father was still worried about them in a place so far away from the capital. As for the fact that the foster father was worried that the food he made had the effect of nourishing health, people had noticed that Shao Yun'an was not worried. In the past, he had to think of an excuse, but now he doesn't need it at all. Brother Hu is here, as long as Brother Hu will lead them to find water with aura. As for when they met Brother Hu, it's not up to them. However, the queen's health has recovered, so it is not in vain that he used so much spiritual milk back and forth.
Shao Yun'an is busy flying up now. All Keemun black tea must be processed and made by him himself, and now he has discovered a large area of Dahongpao ancient trees on the cliffs in the mountains. You must know that in modern society, there are only 6 mother trees of Dahongpao ancient trees, and the Dahongpao produced by these 6 mother trees is something that you can't drink even if you have money. Dahongpao can sell for tens of millions of pounds of mother tree tea.
In modern society, Dahongpao grew up in Wuyishan, Fujian. But here, in the mountains and forests of the same Xiushui Village, there are (Qimen) black tea, (West Lake) Longjing, and (Wuyi Mountain) Dahongpao. Shao Yunan can't explain why. Perhaps, this world is so strange. Tea leaves with different characteristics can grow harmoniously in the same area. Considering that there is such a magical fairy grass growing here, it is not surprising that the tea leaves are so distributed.
The picking and making process of Dahongpao are very complicated. The kneading and production process of Keemun black tea is also complicated and delicate. It can be said that both Dahongpao and Keemun black tea are top-notch black teas, so the complexity of the craftsmanship is naturally top-notch. Needless to say, Dahongpao is precious. Keemun black tea is one of the four major black teas in the world, and it is the best among black teas.
For Keemun black tea, Wang Shijing and Tang Genshu are fully responsible for picking buds and leaves with one bud and two or three leaves. But the picking of Dahongpao had to be done by Shao Yun'an alone. Dahongpao is different from ordinary red and green teas. The fresh leaves of Dahongpao are taken from new shoots, buds and leaves that have grown and matured (three or four leaves open), without water on the leaves, without damage, fresh and uniform. At the same time, the fresh leaves should not be too tender or too old, in short, they should be moderate. And it is very troublesome to avoid rainy days and when there is dew. So after explaining the family affairs, Shao Yun'an took Brother Hu and Xiao Jin into the mountain. Wang Shijing wanted to go with him, but if he went, the tea in the family would have no backbone. Yan Fusheng and the others only know how to collect tea, but they don't know how to follow up, so they can't let them know. In desperation, Wang Shijing could only watch Shao Yun'an enter the mountain alone, oh no, he also brought Jiang Moxi with him. Jiang Moxi - must follow, must follow, grabbing Shao Yunan's clothes and not letting go.
There are three big tigers, Shao Yun'an also has the ability to protect himself, Wang Shijing can only agree to let him take Jiang Moxi into the mountain. But this time they informed Jiang Kangning, of course Jiang Kangning was relieved, but the time of tea picking was the key, and he couldn't convince Jiang Moxi, so he could only compromise. Wang Qing and Nizi also want to follow, Wang Shijing wants them to stay at home. In the eyes of outsiders, how could Shao Yunan enter the mountain with his three children. Wang Shijing asked Wang Qing to study hard at home while Nizi practiced the piano. Jiang Moxi was so stubborn that he couldn't pull ten cows back, so there was no way.
After entering the mountain, Shao Yun'an sent Xiao Jin and Jiang Moxi into the space. He rode on Brother Hu's body and went straight to the Dahongpao ancient tree tea forest. The mountain forest in Xiushui Village is a huge natural treasure for Shao Yun'an. Not only because this is the place where Brother Hu gave him the fairy grass, but the most important thing is that there are thousands of miles of uninhabited mountains here. In ancient times, the population was small and the productive forces were underdeveloped. People basically could only move around the periphery of the forest, and few people went inside the forest. Shao Yun'an has three overlords of the forest, Brother Hu and Da Xiaojin, no matter how dangerous or deep the forest is, he can go there. It's as if he found a huge golden mountain, and no one can snatch it from him.
They are probably the only ones in this world who can ride a tiger all over the mountains. Riding on the tiger's back which is not soft, Shao Yun'an was dizzying. Whenever he sees something good, Brother Hu will stop and give him time to pick it. Brother Hu is also good-tempered. As long as he has enough spiritual spring water every day, he can give him a drop of spiritual milk when he has a lot of spiritual milk. He will do whatever he wants.
Shao Yun'an couldn't ask how Brother Hu and Da Dajin found out that he had a spiritual spring. It stands to reason that Hu Ge and Xiao Jin should be active in the deep mountains. The tea plantations that he and Brother Jing watered were still on the outskirts, and they shouldn't have intersected in the first place. But unless Brother Hu can speak, Shao Yun'an will never get an answer to this question.
There are so many treasures in the mountains. There are wild fruits that he has never seen in the periphery, and there are precious herbs - all that Brother Hu told him to eat. He also dug up a ginseng tree that was hundreds of years old and a large ganoderma lucidum. After he dug it, he quickly moved into the space and transplanted it to the field, and watered it with spiritual spring water. Jin and Xiaojin are playing in the space, and not far away is Jiang Moxi who is "making handicrafts".
The reason why Jiang Moxi wants to follow Shao Yunan is that he needs to read books, and there are many books in the space that cannot be taken out; second, he needs to do handwork. The model ship that Shao Yun'an gave him before was dismantled by him, and later Jiang Moxi assembled that ship back entirely by himself. Then he disassembled and reassembled. Now I don’t disassemble or assemble, and I am obsessed with making it by myself. In this regard, Shao Yun'an and Wang Shijing were completely laissez-faire, they prepared him the tools and wood he needed, and let him figure it out by himself.
This time when he came out, Shao Yun'an planned to finish the Dahongpao directly in the space, and after returning back, he only needed to take some tea leaves to fool him. Of course, such precious things must be made with the most professional tea making tools in his space. The production process of Dahongpao includes: withering, drying, shaking green, making green, killing green, kneading, drying, and making tea. Among them, greening and water roasting are quite key. Green making is a process of continuous withering and fermentation. It is extremely technical and requires special techniques. It cannot be learned in a day or two. Now that time is tight, Shao Yunan can only do it by himself, and he has been working on this skill for a long time. It should not be rumored for a while.
The water roasting requires a cage to be used in a closed roasting room. Operate with "flowing water method" on baked caves at different temperatures. The whole process requires fast speed and intense work, and it needs to be completed in more than ten minutes, so it is also called "Washing Baking". This is also a long-term process of accumulating experience in production, and it can only be completed by Shao Yunan independently. After he told Wang Shijing the secret of the space, he asked Wang Shijing to build him a well-equipped tea room in a corner of the space. Black tea, green tea, scented tea, etc., different tea leaves have different production methods, and he can operate all of them in the tea making room of the space.
The reason why Shao Yun'an knew how to make Dahongpao is because although the mother tree of Dahongpao is rare, there are many branches of the mother tree that are cut and multiplied to form the platform Dahongpao. As a qualified tea enthusiast, how could he not understand Dahongpao.
While Shao Yun'an, Wang Shijing, Jiang Kangning and many others were busy with the same goal - making tea, the soldiers at the Border Pass and Huxing Pass ushered in a special guest.
