What is the tea shop, it is naturally a place to drink tea.
The tea shops in the world are basically in the same tone. If you want to stand out from the same kind, you must naturally have your own unique style.
This tea shop is undoubtedly a leader in the same industry. After the development of diversified projects, not only can you drink tea here, you can also see Miaoman dancers dancing, taste high-quality wine, and literati and writers are interested. , but also in the hall with brush and ink, or show calligraphy, or show one-handed painting skills, there will be poetry meetings every now and then, inviting celebrities from all walks of life to enjoy.
Of course, real celebrities are not so easy to invite.
As a result, the tea shop took the second place. Although the invited "celebrities" did not have a big reputation, they did have some talents.
Xu Ke calmly chatted with the maid, figuring out the daily items of this tea shop, and suddenly became interested.
"Whether the tea shop is bragging or a show, the pen, ink, paper and inkstone provided by others are all excellent." Jiang Pengji and Xu Ke chose a secluded private room. The two sat opposite each other. The tea stove was already smelling and the room was clean and tidy. , There are also high-level paintings on the walls, and most of the people who signed the letters are extraordinary. "This alone is enough to attract many talented scholars."
Don't look at Jiang Pengji's calligraphy using bamboo paper, it seems that this thing is very popular, but in fact
In Xu Ke's words, his family master did not practice calligraphy on bamboo paper, but a piece of gold paper with a lot of weight, pure gold!
Due to the limitation of production, the rareness is the most expensive, and the price of bamboo paper being sold outside is not something that ordinary poor people can afford.
Even if it is a high-level gentry, only potential stocks with valuable status and excellent academic performance are eligible to enjoy it.
Xu Ke has been in Liu Mansion all these years, under the influence of his ears and eyes, his vision has naturally improved.
The ink provided by this tea shop is the high-quality Cangzhou Mengmo; the pen used is also a very fine and expensive pen; as for the paper, Hejian Bamboo Paper is famous all over the world, and the price is the same as its reputation. Unattainable; inkstone is still the best of the best.
Pen, ink, paper, inkstone, four things gathered together, is that what ordinary people can provide
Not to mention a tea shop!
"I don't know who is the gold owner behind this tea shop..." If it was before, Xu Ke would definitely be attracted by such pomp. Bamboo paper is the white moonlight in the hearts of many scholars. Now... His monthly share is full. Bamboo paper with a knife is so rare, "This tea shop doesn't look like a serious place to drink tea. Don't say anything else, just the value of that pen, ink, paper and inkstone..."
Having said this, Xu Ke shook his head.
This is where drinking tea at a small price is clearly drinking gold and silver.
"So, the gold owner behind the family is not really a brainless person, rich and powerful, but has a lot of ambition." Jiang Pengji smiled and prepared a cup of tea for herself. After drinking it for so many years, she is also used to adding various seasonings to the tea. "What is Xiaoyu guessing?"
Xu Ke said, "Langjun's question is underestimated. No matter how the times change, businessmen in the world will not change the nature of their pursuit of profit. With such a large amount of money, it is natural to have a plan, and the plan is very big. However, I don’t know which royal family member this owner is…”
If it wasn't for a royal relative or a high-ranking official, who would have the qualifications to open a tea shop in the best location in Shangjing
Even if they are qualified to open, there are only a handful of people who have the financial resources to maintain the operation of the tea shop.
But for a moment, the two thought of the same goal.
Look at each other and smile.
Jiang Pengji said, "I just took a look around in the hall downstairs. There are calligraphy and paintings hanging on it. Some of them have great identities.
There are only two types of people mentioned by Jiang Pengji: the nobles of the high family and the common people of the poor family.
The proportion of the former is not large, while the proportion of the latter is quite high.
Gaomen nobles, fighting their fathers and their ancestors, can easily lie down and become a superior person. Even if they are lonely, they will still be respected and worshipped by the world. Most of them come to the tea shop for entertainment and relaxation. rise.
It is different for the children of the poor family. They have too few opportunities to succeed, and this tea shop provides a pretty good platform.
Even if you can't make a name for it, leave your best writing and ink, and compete with others, you will feel happy in your heart.
Jiang Pengji looked around just now, and vaguely found the abacus behind this tea shop.
"No surprise, it should be King Changshou." Xu Ke calmly said.
"I guess it's also him. Back then, when the evaluation was imminent, he wanted to invite all scholars to participate in the elegant poetry meeting, and generously lent the Tangquan Hall under his name to entertain those scholars for free. The intention to win over them couldn't be more obvious." Jiang Pengji snorted, " His fief Zhangzhou is rich and rich, and the aristocratic families who support him are also very rich. Spending a little money to get a small tea shop, for him, is only a drop in the bucket."
The tea shop provides a fair platform for scholars to display their talents. No matter the high school or the poor family, they can enjoy the pen, ink, paper and inkstone here.
No matter what small calculations people have in their hearts, at least he does provide benefits. Even if he can't get the amazing potential stocks, he still earns the goodwill of the young scholars. sent.
In today's era of extremely backward communication technology, a think tank that can win thousands of miles is comparable to thousands of troops!
No one is an idiot, and the King of Changshou would naturally be happy to do such a business with unworthy profits.
Of course, this is what Jiang Pengji and Xu Ke can see. As for whether other ordinary people can see it, I don't know.
When the maid brought the tea ingredients, Jiang Pengji asked casually, that this tea shop was indeed the property of King Changshou.
Seeing this, she could only shake her head secretly.
The ambition of King Changshou is so obvious, the one in Shangyang Palace is still drunk and dreaming of dying, and can't wait to die in the pile of women...
The gap between the brothers is so obvious that it is not born from the same mother's womb.
Jiang Pengji took a sip of tea, and the taste was memorable.
"It's really good tea, I hope the tea fee is not expensive, otherwise I can only mortgage you here and find a chance to escape..."
After drinking, she suddenly sighed, the sip of tea in Xu Ke's mouth almost choked into the lung tube.
She was about to make fun of Xu Ke, when the tip of her ear moved, she quickly dropped the teacup and gestured to Xu Ke not to cough with her eyes.
He could only cover his mouth with difficulty, choking the corners of his eyes flushed with pitiful physiological tears.
"What, what's wrong-"
After a long while, he slowed down and asked Jiang Pengji what happened.
Jiang Pengji said calmly, "There is movement next door."
Then, she tiptoed close to the corner of the private room, and when she was squatting listening to the corner, Xu Ke's expression cracked.
