When Wang Shijing and Shao Yun'an came to the side hall, King Luo Rong and Jiang Moxi were playing chess, Nizi was sitting beside Jiang Moxi, one hand was still held by Jiang Moxi, her face was flushed. Sitting next to King Luo Rong, Wang Qing felt a little uncomfortable. To be honest, Wang Qing has been uncomfortable since the elder brother kissed the younger sister and swore ownership of the younger sister. God, Nizi is only 5 years old! Still old! If it weren't for the presence of King Luo Rong, Wang Qing couldn't help shouting: "Brother, don't make trouble!"
When the two walked in, Wang Shijing called out, "My lord."
Jiang Moxi turned her head and was about to get up, but was pushed down by the person opposite. Luo Rongwang frowned, his eyes were still fixed on the chessboard, and he said impatiently: "If you have something to do, go and do it. Brother Xi and I are playing chess."
Wang Shijing & Shao Yunan: "..."
"Little Daddy, Daddy." Nizi really wanted to leave, brother Xi kissed her three times today!
"Daddy, daddy." Wang Qing also wanted to leave. Brother just kissed Nizi!
Luo Rongwang stared at the chessboard intently, looking distressed. Jiang Moxi looked at Nizi and the two uncles, and when he turned around, he saw him drop a knife in his hand—ahem—seemingly dropping a sunspot on the chessboard very casually, and then King Luo Rong was stunned. Like counting beans, Jiang Moxi took away a large piece of white stones on the chessboard one by one without mercy, then raised her head: "I lost." Then she stood up, pulled Nizi and said to Shao Yun'an who was also looking stupid :"Hungry!"
Shao Yunan & Wang Shijing: "..."
King Luo Rong quit: "Come again! This time I was careless!"
Shao Yun'an teased Wang Shijing, and Wang Shijing had no choice but to speak out: "My lord, no one in our family can beat brother Xi. Neither my adoptive father nor my senior brother are his opponents." King Luo Rong: "..."
Jiang Moxi is really hungry, he will have a bad temper when he is hungry. It's okay to say to family members, but to outsiders, I will be super impatient. Knowing this about him, Shao Yun'an asked Jiang Moxi to eat first, and then play chess with King Luo Rong after eating. Shao Yunan used this to take away three children, leaving only Wang Shijing and Luo Rongwang, and Luo Rongwang has not recovered yet. Wang Shijing poured water for him himself, and said: "Brother Xi is very smart, no matter what kind of chess he plays, no one in the family is his opponent."
King Luo Rong raised his eyes: "I remember he was not in good health before, right? Or did I remember wrong?" King Luo Rong even called himself "I".
Wang Shijing replied honestly: "Brother Xi used to be a little autistic. After Brother Kang Chen sent him here, he may be accompanied by Brother Qing and Nizi, or it may be because the environment here is simple and no one bullies him. , he gradually got better. Although the speech is not as continuous as ordinary people now, there is no problem in communicating with others, and he is very smart, Yun An said that he is probably a child prodigy."
King Luo Rong nodded: "Although my chess skill is not the best in the capital, it is difficult to meet an opponent. I can win a few rounds in a confrontation with Weng Lao. But brother Xi, I have no strength to parry at all. After that, he shook his head, not knowing why he regretted it.
Then, King Luo Rong asked: "You said that you found another kind of tea in the mountains. That's why your wife came to the mountains. Did he find out?"
Wang Shijing: "Yes, it's just that the tea forest is too far away and the quantity is not large, so it took a long time. After a while, I will go to the mountain to pick it again. Yun'an will have to deal with the tea in a while, otherwise it will take too long , the taste of the tea produced will be much worse.”
Upon hearing this, King Luo Rong immediately said: "Then go quickly. Tea is the most important thing, and you can talk about the rest after you are busy. I am not in a hurry to return to Beijing. It is rare for me to go to the capital. I am also leisurely."
"My lord, whatever you want, just mention it."
King Luo Rong was not too polite, and said, "Xiaomu's boiled pork slices are delicious. I'll make them again tonight, and the rice wine is also delicious. When can you drink your tea?"
Wang Shijing: "It needs to be stored for a period of time before it can be unsealed for tasting. If the prince is not in a hurry to go back, he can wait for the first batch of Longjing tea to be unsealed, and it will be unsealed in about seven or eight days. Black tea will take longer, Yunan said. The longer the black tea is left, the more fragrant it will be."
King Luo Rong's eyes lit up immediately, and he said with a smile: "Yes, yes, me, the most important thing is time. Anyway, there are no dead people here, so I'll do it in front of the emperor. I'll wait for the first one in the delivery room." Unseal the batch of tea. This king put his words here, don’t fool him with second or third class things.”
In the last sentence, King Luo Rong used his identity to threaten, but Wang Shijing felt that the other party was really a lovely old man. He reciprocated and said: "Longjing tea is the best-waiting tea, not special-grade tea. I will save all-waiting tea for you. Also, the baijiu we brew is about to be unsealed. You are here, just in time." It can be tasted first."
King Luo Rong's eyes became brighter: "Okay, okay, great. Go and get busy, don't worry about me, I'll go and have a look in your vegetable field."
"I'll have someone take you there."
"good."
Wang Shijing went to call Yan Fusheng, Luo Rongwang stroked his beard and laughed: "It's a good job, a good job."
==================================================== ==================================================== =============
For dinner, King Luo Rong ate with his three children, and he specially dragged Guo Zimu over and asked him to eat at the table. Not only that, he also ordered Guo Zimu to take off that obtrusive mask as a prince. The original words of King Luo Rong said: "This face is so beautiful, you can eat two more bowls of rice just by looking at it. Huhu, what else to eat!"
King Luo Rong is younger than Weng, but he is enough to be Guo Zimu's father. Moreover, King Luo Rong was like an old child, looking at Guo Zimu without a hint of obscenity, he just hated Guo Zimu wearing a mask, so Guo Zimu took it off.
Yan Fusheng and Qin Niang were waiting on the side. They came out of the palace. King Luo Rong had no impression of them, but they were deeply impressed by King Luo Rong's incredible time. Regardless of whether King Luo Rong was favored in the time of the first emperor, or whether King Luo Rong is powerful or not, he is a real prince. The children may not have a special feeling for the status of the prince—the main reason is that King Luo Rong dresses like an ordinary farmer—and behaves very gentle—but Yan Fusheng and Qin Niang did not dare to neglect at all.
King Luo Rong was also served by the two of them. Guo Zimu is very unhappy, he is not the master in the king's house, but King Luo Rong likes him very much and doesn't allow him to leave. King Luo Rong kept talking about Guo Zimu's delicious cooking. He heard that Guo Zimu was still the real chef of Yunlong Dim Sum House, so he strongly asked Guo Zimu to make him dim sum. Guo Zimu somehow fell into the eyes of King Luo Rong.
Wang Shijing and Shao Yun'an didn't accompany them, not to avoid, nor to take Joe, but too busy to leave. There are a lot of tea leaves collected at home. If Wang Shijing didn't have spiritual spring water in his hand, these tea leaves would have been out of order. The two should finish making all the tea leaves that have been dried in the shortest possible time. Wang Shijing has already made some, but they are all third- and fourth-class ones, and Shao Yun'an has to come personally for the super-class and -class ones. Wang Shijing's craftsmanship is not good enough. And in order to ensure the quality, the first-class and special-grade fresh leaves collected by Jiang Kangning were also dried and sent over, waiting for Shao Yunan to come back and make them. Therefore, Shao Yun'an had to be busy for ten days and a half months.
Brother Hu and Xiao Jin were so full that they drank the spiritual spring water and ate a big basket of apples before returning to the mountain. In the palace, there were the imperial guards brought by Dai Jiang, and the royal guards brought by King Luo Rong. There were too many people, and they were annoyed, so they went back to the mountain to hide. The reason why they didn’t enter the space was that there were too many people.
This side, full of food, Nizi sensiblely made Jinsi Huangchrysanthemum tea for Grandpa Murong. King Luo Rong took Wang Qing to play chess, Jiang Moxi was tired, but refused to go back to the house to sleep, so _ just lay down on the couch where they were playing chess and fell asleep. Cover with a quilt.
Jiang Moxi killed King Luo Rong to the brim, but Wang Qing was no match for King Luo Rong at all. King Luo Rong finally regained his previous self-confidence, and he was in a good mood to guide Wang Qing on how to play in order to win. King Luo Rong kept talking, Jiang Moxi suddenly opened his eyes, wondering if he was being quarreled. He rubbed his eyes and sat up, looking at the chess game. Seeing that it would take about a cup of tea, he picked up a sunspot from Wang Qing, and dropped it with a "snap". King Luo Rong hadn't reacted yet, huh, huh, a bunch of white pieces were eaten.
Jiang Moxi dragged Nizi to the bed: "Sleep."
Wang Qing: "..."
Someone got angry: "Brat! Who asked you to play for him!"
Jiang Moxi stopped, turned around, picked up a white stone, "slapped", and dropped the stone. Crash, a bunch of sunspots were eaten.
Wang Qing: "..."
Someone: "..."
Jiang Moxi picked up the sunspot again, "cracked", and dropped it.
"Okay, okay, Grandpa Murong was wrong, you go to bed, go to sleep." King Luo Rong surrendered, he was just asking for trouble by competing with a little child prodigy.
Jiang Moxi looked up at King Luo Rong, then took Nizi with one hand, and Wang Qing, who was always "speechless" with the other, and left. King Luo Rong looked at the chessboard and at the three missing children, his chest was wheezing.
"Brat!"
Afterwards, he laughed again, and said to himself: "Interesting, really interesting. This search was really worthless."
At the county government office, Jiang Kangning, who just came back from the tea room, ate a bowl of noodles and collapsed on the bed. They underestimated the amount of tea that could be made this time. The manpower sent by Queen Chitose to learn how to make tea is completely insufficient. If Shao Yun'an knew that Jiang Kangning had already rolled up his sleeves and went to battle in person, his jaw would be astonished. After watching for many days, Jiang Kangning also saw some tricks. After trying a few times, he was able to force third-class tea.
Jiang Kangning was slumped on the bed, and Guo Ziyu, who hadn't returned home, was also slumped on the bed in the guest room. Guo Ziyu, as the representative sent by Wang Zhai, has full authority to replace Wang Shijing and Shao Yun'an in charge of tea making in the tea factory. Wang Shijing has been busy making tea at home these days, and has no time to come to the tea factory. The burden is all on Guo Ziyu and Jiang Kangning. Jiang Kangning rolled up his sleeves to play, and Guo Ziyu was not idle either. He scalded the blisters on his hands, but fortunately, he applied ointment to relieve them a lot. Guo Ziyu is now absolutely convinced by Shao Yun'an, how could that person come up with such a tea-making technique, no wonder it tastes so good.
In the beginning, Guo Ziyu could go back to Xiushui Village at night, but now he completely takes the county government as his home. Half a year ago, he and his younger brother Guo Zimu were still begging in the county seat, but now he is helping the county magistrate, it is really unpredictable.
Someone knocked on the door, Guo Ziyu got up vigorously and went to open the door, but Dai Jiang was outside. On behalf of Jiang, he saluted and said, "Brother Guo, I have something to discuss. Is it convenient?"
Guo Ziyu turned sideways: "It's convenient, please come in."
"Trouble."
Dai Jiang strode into the house, and Guo Ziyu closed the door. He was going to pour water, but Dai Jiang stopped him: "You are welcome, I will leave after I finish speaking."
"Please speak, Deputy Commander."
Dai Jiang asked straight to the point: "I heard that Brother Guo's younger brother can make kimchi."
When Guo Ziyu heard the other party mentioned his younger brother, he immediately became cautious and nodded: "Yes. Yun'an taught him."
Dai Jiangdao: "I have an unfeeling request. I have eaten the kimchi once in the capital. It tastes very good. The most important thing is that this kimchi is a bit spicy, which is most suitable for eating in the bitter cold of the border. But this There are not many kimchi sold in the capital, and the price is high. I want to buy some to send to my brothers in the border gate, but I am really shy in Xiangzhong. I don’t know if I can ask Brother Guo’s younger brother to sell it to me at a lower price. I don’t want to bother Chitose with this matter if I sell it at the grocery store under the Yunlongyuan in the capital city.”
Guo Ziyu was relieved when he heard this, it turned out that it was for kimchi. The "Yunlong Institute" mentioned by Dai Jiang is actually the "Yunlong Group" mentioned by Shao Yunan. The Empress followed Shao Yun'an's advice, and all transactions under her banner were headed by "Yunlong". In this era, there are no titles such as groups and consortiums, so the emperor set it up as "Yunlongyuan", which actually means the same thing as a group. Dai Jiang went to tell the queen that the queen will definitely consider this matter, and he does not need to think of a way, but Dai Jiang knows how short the emperor and the queen are of money. As a subject, it is better to find a way by yourself .
Guo Ziyu said: "The Acting Deputy Commander actually doesn't have to worry about this. If I remember correctly, Yun'an seemed to have mentioned before that Chitose sent a batch of kimchi, barbecue sauce, etc. to Huxing Pass. Shi Jing and Yun'an also donated The 3,500 taels of gold were given to Little General Dai Zhanxiao, and Yun An said that Chitose had already sent someone to deliver it, and the person who delivered it seemed to be Jiang Neiguan, the elder brother of the county magistrate."
Dai Jiang was taken aback: "Ishii and Yunan donated 3,500 taels of gold to Zhan Xiao?!" Immediately changed his words, "To General Wuwei on behalf of Zhan Xiao?"
Guo Ziyu nodded: "Yes. Last year's autumn tea, Ishii and Yunan donated 3,500 taels of gold from their dividends to Dai Xiaojun. Shijing used to be the centurion under Dai Xiaojun. For this reason, Yunan and the others They proposed to set up a 'relief fund', and Chitose also agreed to this matter, and it seems that they are planning, and we have to ask Yun'an and Ishii to know about the specific matters."
Dai Jiang immediately asked: "What is the 'relief fund'?"
Guo Ziyu explained to Dai Jiang what the rescue fund was, and Dai Jiang became more and more excited when he heard it. When he stood up, he saluted Guo Ziyu: "I thank Wang Shijing and Shao Yun'an on behalf of the soldiers at the border!"
Guo Ziyu hurriedly stood up, dumbfounding: "The acting deputy commander should go to Yun'an and Shijing. I can't get their credit. It's better to ask Shijing and Yun'an about the kimchi. There are many border guards. It's just a drop in the bucket depending on your strength alone. It's just that Shi Jing and Yun An are busy with spring tea now, so they can't take care of it for a while. The acting deputy commander might as well ask them after they finish their work."
Dai Jiang still bowed to Guo Ziyu: "I still want to thank Brother Guo for telling me this."
Guo Ziyu quickly waved his hands: "The Deputy Commander doesn't need to be so polite. Maybe it won't be long before Empress Chitose will issue an order to announce the 'relief fund'. Now the safety of Ishii and Yun'an's family depends more on the Deputy Commander. There is only so much we can do for the two of them.”
"Brother Guo is too modest. Wang Shijing's ability to entrust the tea factory to you so reassuringly, in my opinion, is not just his trust in you."
Dai Jiang saluted again, "It's getting late, then I'll take my leave, brother Guo must be tired too."
"Okay, let's go slowly on behalf of the deputy commander."
Guo Ziyu sent Dai Jiang out, probably because he was too tired, and his left leg, which was already inconvenient, became weak. Seeing that he was about to fall, a strong arm supported him. His head hit the opponent's chest, Guo Ziyu only felt that he had hit a copper wall and an iron wall, and his head was in a daze.
Helping the dazed Guo Ziyu, Dai Jiang, who had already walked to the door, helped Guo Ziyu turn back and sat him down on the stool.
Guo Ziyu came back to his senses at this time, and subconsciously rubbed the painful spot: "Just now, thank you Acting Vice Commander."
Dai Jiang looked at Guo Ziyu's obviously tired face, and apologized, "I'm the one who bothered you. Brother Guo, get some rest, there's no need to send it off."
"Ah, no, it's my own legs that are not easy to come by." Guo Ziyu stood up again, but Dai Jiang stopped him: "I'll go by myself, Brother Guo, don't send me off."
"good."
Guo Ziyu watched Dai Jiang open the door and leave. He let out a heavy breath and sat down. His head was still aching, and he said to himself: "How did this man grow? Why is his skin so hard? No wonder he can become the commander of the emperor's bodyguards, isn't he invulnerable?"
Standing at the door, Dai Jiang, who hadn't left because of guilt, heard Guo Ziyu talking to himself very well, he was a little dumbfounded, but he was a little complacent. Touching his hard chest, Dai Jiang was suddenly a little worried, wondering if he had hurt someone just now.
