In Kyoto in June, it is the season of unbearable heat.
In the capital of Southern Qi, since the founding of the dynasty, the emperors of all dynasties advocated governing the country with literature, and liked to recite poems and write elegant things. Therefore, both inside and outside the capital are full of flowers. All kinds of flowers are in full bloom throughout the year, and the fragrance of flowers is everywhere in the imperial capital. , has always been known as the capital of flowers.
Although the Northern Zhou Dynasty invaded and trampled on the border this year, it did not affect the blooming flowers in the capital of the Southern Qi Dynasty in the slightest.
Before Su Fengnuan entered the city, she smelled the scent of flowers from the capital city from a long distance away. She sniffed and led the horse into the city.
Behind her, apart from the common people who came and went, there was no figure of her third brother Su Qing.
Because of General Su's defeat of the Northern Zhou army's invasion, the oppressive atmosphere in the capital was changed, and there was a lot of people and it was very lively.
She led the horse into a tea house, ordered a pot of good tea, and was not in a hurry to go back home, so she sat down and listened to the storyteller's stories leisurely.
Teahouses and restaurants in the capital have always been the busiest places where people gather after various major events.
Today, Mr. Storyteller is talking about a major event that happened recently.
General Su defeated the Northern Zhou army, the emperor Longyan was very happy, Jinkou Yuyan released a heavy reward, saying: After General Su has dealt with the follow-up matters on the border and returned to Beijing, he will be granted the title of Marquis Wu, and the Su Mansion will be renamed Wuhou Mansion .
In addition to this matter, the emperor and the queen mother also released rumors that they wanted to marry Miss Su Fu.
Marriage candidates, currently there are two people who have been proposed the most times.
One is Ye Chang, the eldest son of Prince Rong'an's mansion;
One is from the royal family, the other is from the rich family, both of them have prominent backgrounds.
The Su Mansion is the General's Mansion, which will soon be entrusted to the Wuhou Mansion, and it is also extremely dignified. Miss Su is a natural match for these two people.
It is said that the empress dowager proposed to her grandnephew Xu Yunchu, and the emperor proposed to Ye Chang, the nephew of Rong An's palace.
The ministers of military and military affairs of the DPRK also have their own teams, and this matter is even more lively than the great general's defeat of Bei Zhou.
Marriage of children has always been associated with a soft style, and it is also talked about by idlers.
In particular, such a marriage that the empress dowager and the emperor both valued, and the marriage of the youngest daughter of General Su, who is now very prestigious, really made the people of the capital explode.
Su Fengnuan drank three cups of tea, and heard a rough idea of the cause and effect of this incident. Just as he was about to pay the bill and leave, he heard a clear voice from upstairs saying with great regret, "I didn't expect that. I slept for three months, and I missed so many good shows."
She raised her eyes to look upstairs, and saw that the voice came from a private room. Although the door of the private room was open, it was covered by a curtain, and she could vaguely see a few figures sitting around the table, with blurred outlines. Can't see the face of the speaker.
At this time, someone took the words and laughed, "Your Majesty, you have not only missed the good show after sleeping for three months, if you hadn't been so intoxicated, you would have almost gone to the battlefield with General Su."
The person who was greatly regretted earlier changed his tone immediately when he heard the words, and said happily, "In this way, it is fortunate that I was drunk in March, otherwise the sword would have no eyes on the battlefield. I heard that General Su was seriously injured and is still alive today." If I go to the border to recuperate, there is a high probability that I will never come back like my parents. How can I sit here and drink tea?"
"Exactly, exactly." Someone answered.
"The auspicious people of the world have their own heaven." Some people echoed.
Su Fengnuan looked away, took out the silver and put it on the table, and got up.
At this time, the man smiled happily and said, "I am indeed a lucky person with my own natural appearance. If so, I have invited all the tea money in this teahouse today to my son."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a burst of applause and cheers.
Su Fengnuan paused, and looked upstairs again, only to see laughter and joy in that private room, about seven or eight people were seated.
Someone downstairs asked, "Is Shi Zi serious?"
"Of course, what I say is true. When is it time to say nothing?" The man upstairs said with a smile, "Treasurer, listen carefully, all the tea money from the guests in the teahouse today will be charged to my account." .”
"Okay!" The shopkeeper immediately answered with a smile on his face.
Su Fengnuan withdrew his gaze, returned to his seat, beckoned for the boy, and whispered something to him.
After listening to her words, the young man stared at her dumbfounded.
Su Fengnuan was wearing a bamboo hat, a plain white skirt that was old and not old, and a sword on his waist. He was dressed like a Jianghu.
The young man looked at her for a while, but didn't see her appearance clearly, so he could only stammer, "This... this girl, this... isn't very good, is it?"
"What's wrong? Didn't he make it clear? Did he buy all the tea for all the guests in the teahouse today?" Su Fengnuan looked at the young man with clear and innocent eyes through the gauze scarf, "Could it be that the majestic Prince Rongan's mansion Ye Shizi's words don't count?"
The boy hesitated, and whispered, "But...Ye Shizi said to drink here, didn't say...not to take away..."
Su Fengnuan reached out and knocked on the table twice, and said with a smile, "Is your tea house rich and don't want to make money? You can ask your shopkeeper to see if he agrees."
Hearing this, the young man glanced upstairs, and seeing the laughter upstairs, he immediately ran to find the shopkeeper.
After hearing what the boy said, the shopkeeper raised his eyes to look at Su Fengnuan, and was taken aback for a while, then nodded to the boy.
The young man got the shopkeeper's approval, so he ran to the back and offered Su Fengnuan ten boxes of high-quality new tea.
Su Fengnuan untied the package behind him, opened it, packed ten boxes of good new tea bags, and walked out of the teahouse with ease.
Seeing Su Fengnuan leave the teahouse, the little boy led the horse away, turned around and ran back to the shopkeeper, and whispered, "Shopkeeper, ten boxes of top-quality new tea, one box of ten thousand gold, these ten boxes are worth ten thousand gold. You actually agree, Ye Shizi has lost a lot of money today."
The shopkeeper clattered his abacus, shook his head and sighed, but didn't speak.
The boy said again, "Shopkeeper, why don't you tell Ye Shizi?"
The shopkeeper shook his head.
The little guy didn't say anything when he saw the shopkeeper, so naturally he kept quiet, but he felt sorry for Ye Chang in his heart, Wanjin, it's not a small sum, Ye Shizi's ancestral business has been ruined by him all these years, right? What can he do in the future.
The news that Ye Shizi invited tea in the teahouse quickly spread, one spread to ten, ten to hundreds, many people flocked to Yipinxiang Teahouse after hearing about it.
The little guy served tea back and forth, his legs were numb from running, and he didn't care about Ye Chang's money, he felt sorry for his own legs.
Ye Chang didn't stay in the teahouse for long, after drinking two pots of tea with a group of people, he left the teahouse to find a place to have fun.
He slept for three months, and instead of sleeping softly, he slept energetically. On a hot day, he took a group of people to the hunting ground.
Su Fengnuan led the horse back to Su Mansion.
When Mrs. Su heard that she had returned to Beijing, she greeted her happily, looked left and right at her, and was relieved when she saw that she was not injured.
Su Fengnuan unwrapped the package, handed it to Mrs. Su, and said with a smile, "Here are ten boxes of high-quality Tianxiang brocade. My daughter robbed them. Mother likes to drink tea, so just accept it."
