Chu Jihan raised his head in shock. He was originally shocked that private tea had become so rampant, but when he heard Shen Qing's inner voice, he was less shocked.
I saw Shen Qing taking another sip of tea with a calm look on his face, thinking to himself, "Wow, hahaha, I caught a big guy, and whatever I say about this pot of tea, he will be blamed for it."]
The corners of Chu Jihan's eyes twitched. He was obviously a young boy who looked brilliant, but why was there such a huge contrast in his heart.
Shen Qing, who looked calm and dignified to others, immediately looked at him with bright eyes in his eyes, with a joy that he had been taken advantage of from all over his body.
In order to control his fist that was about to move, Chu Jihan quickly changed his focus and said, "Brother Shen, this tea is good."
[How could it be wrong to take such expensive tea as tribute tea?]
"Brother Ji, do you think it's good? Then I guess the waiter didn't lie to me. I never understand tea."
fraud! This liar!
You can tell whether it is Mingqian tea or Yuhou tea after one sip. How can you say that you don't understand tea
"It's pretty good. My Mr. Lu loves tea the most. I'll see if I can bring some back to him from the teahouse."
Chu Jihan put down his cup and said calmly, as if he and Shen Qing were true gentlemen.
He felt that it was too difficult for him. Although Shen Qing and he both acted like gentlemen, the other party did not need to be affected by the weird inner drama. He could have failed by accident.
At this time, Su Ningxin was also testing Ji Chu's purpose, and she didn't know why the other party was deliberately trying to get close to her. Could it be that he wanted to tease her
No, aren't you a man now? Doesn't this Ji Chu have a habit of cutting off his sleeves? Well, it seems that men should be careful when going out.
[…be careful.]
Chu Jihan was just thinking about his own affairs without looking at Shen Qing. When he turned around, he heard half a sentence, "Be careful?" Be careful about what
Before he could think clearly, Shen Qing asked in confusion, "Brother Ji knows Mr. Lu?"
"To be honest with Brother Shen, Mrs. Lu is my aunt, and I'm staying at Lu's house these days."
"I see, that's disrespectful. I've always heard that Mr. Lu loves ink and inkstones, but I didn't expect that he also loves tea?" Su Ningxin said doubtfully.
"Ah, Mr. Lu collects inkstones as a hobby, and he generally likes to taste tea. Brother Shen also knows Mr. Lu's preferences?"
For the sake of his case, he could only complain that the master liked to drink tea.
"Mr. Lu is a well-known scholar in the country, and Yu has heard of some of him."
[Of course I know. I remember when I asked for a piece of calligraphy with the rosin Hui ink from the previous dynasty, he didn’t even give it to me. I didn’t expect that I also like tea. I can try this aspect next time.]
Chu Jihan's eyes suddenly lit up. Want the master's words? That’s easy to say.
"Mr. Lu has collected many ancient and modern treasures of inkstones, so he doesn't pay attention to ordinary inkstones, but tea is different. Very few people know about his hobby,"
Chu Jihan paused and looked at Shen Qing's expression. The other person had no expression or thought. He was probably listening carefully. It was a good sign that he had taken the bait!
"If someone can bring him some tribute tea, I can let others choose the words and pictures."
"Anyone else picks it?" Su Ningxin asked dubiously.
"Yes, Mr. Lu's calligraphy and paintings are all done casually when he is interested. After he is finished, he doesn't cherish them much. They are all piled up in the study room." Chu Jihan said confidently.
I apologize silently in my heart. Master, I can only give you a hard time with your calligraphy and painting. You must write more when you have the chance.
[If you can get what he likes and get a few calligraphy and paintings of Mr. Lu, then the master’s birthday gift will be in order. The person in front of you can actually get in touch with Mr. Lu... ]
Su Ningxin glanced at Chu Jihan while thinking about it, but Chu Jihan didn't have much expression, he just looked at the brown color in the teacup.
In fact, at this time, he was already excited. Look at me, look at me, yes, it's me, ask me to help you. At this time, Chu Jihan wished he could grow a tail and wag it.
"Brother Ji lives in Lu's hometown, does he know what kind of tea Mr. Lu likes?"
[I still have some good tea there, including Mingqian Longjing, Taiping Houkui, Lushan Yunwu and Xinyang Maojian. I don’t know if they are enough.]
Hearing Shen Qing's words, Chu Jihan was shocked. Does your family run a teahouse? There are so many teas.
No, no, it can't be said that she has it, otherwise she wouldn't go to the so-called Uncle Qin.
Now Chu Jihan has not forgotten what Shen Qing just heard about Uncle Qin's transport of private tea.
"Junshan Silver Needle, Mr. Lu likes Junshan Silver Needle." Chu Jihan finally thought of a tea name and blurted it out.
He remembered that this seemed to be the emperor's favorite tea, and it should be top-notch tea.
At this time, Chu Jihan regretted very much that he didn't like drinking tea. Even if he drank it, he would quench his thirst in large gulps and could never tell the difference.
"Junshan Silver Needle?" Su Ningxin asked doubtfully, "Most of the Junshan Silver Needle was given as tribute to the imperial palace, so it is extremely difficult to find it."
[I remember that Mr. Lu’s son was the magistrate of Daming Prefecture. The Lu family’s Junshan Silver Needle was probably given to Mr. Lu by the emperor. It seems that the emperor valued the Lu family very much.]
Chu Jihan wants to slap himself in the mouth and make you talk nonsense, what about Junshan Silver Needle? What should I do if I can't find it
However, Chu Jihan also once again wondered about Shen Qing's identity. Was he so familiar with things in the court
I thought I knew Mr. Fu Che from the world, but now it looks too similar. He might be from the courtier's family. There are many people with the surname Shen in the court. I really can't tell which family he belongs to.
Since Chu Jihan can't be thought of, don't worry. If you get more information from Shen Qing, you can always guess it. The most important thing now is to stabilize the other party and don't let him escape.
"Junshan Silver Needle is not that good. If there are other good teas, Mr. Lu would also like it. Brother Shen, do you want to visit Mr. Lu?"
"To be honest, Brother Ji, my master has always admired Mr. Lu's calligraphy and paintings. I thought that if I could get one or two of them, my master would be very happy." Su Ningxin said, pretending to be a little embarrassed.
[Throw a few calligraphy and paintings into his face, and he will definitely be so happy that he goes to heaven.]
Chu Jihan: "..." I thought I was disrespectful enough to the master, but I didn't expect that there would be a day when I would be defeated.
"Brother Shen and I hit it off right away. If Brother Shen wants to visit Mr. Lu, I will definitely introduce him to Brother Shen," Chu Jihan continued with a somewhat unnatural expression on his face, "It's just that I have an unkind request..."
"Brother Ji, please tell me. As long as I can do it, I will definitely not refuse."
[Tell me, let me see what you little goblin is planning. Show your fox tail.]
Chu Jihan almost vomited blood, but he could only pretend that he didn't know anything.
"It's like this. Brother Shen also knows that I'm staying at the Lu family, so he always feels a little sorry. Brother Shen, can you take me with you when you prepare gifts? I'm new to Xingyuan Mansion and I'm not familiar with the place. I don't know where to buy suitable ones. Thanks."
