"Opened a gambling house. [Read the latest chapter]"
"What gambling house?"
"Tian Sheng Casino."
"Okay, if you have enough money tomorrow, let's go to Tiansheng Casino."
"How can a girl in a boudoir go to a gambling house? I won't go. Besides, you are penniless and I don't have any money for you to play."
"So stingy!"
"Take care of me."
While they were talking, they had already boarded the carriage. Xu Nuo rested against the carriage and played with the bracelet on her wrist. She originally thought that Hu Ling would be disappointed, or at least a little depressed, after hearing Zhu Shang's identity. Unexpectedly, her curiosity about Zhu Shang only increased instead of decreasing.
Hu Ling is a carefree person with a bold temperament and good skills. He is not shy at all but takes the initiative when it comes to matters between men and women. If she traveled to modern times, she would definitely be successful, and if she joined the police force, she would definitely be very popular.
Thinking of the police force, Xu Nuo suddenly remembered what her colleagues had said about her: Can you stop being such a girl?
There are many people in the police force who say this about her, and both men and women say this about her.
She is a woman, why can't she be a mother?
Why can't you be a mother?
But when discussing my hobbies, I said that I like to read history books and play Go, so I got such a comment, and I didn't do embroidery.
She has excellent physical fitness and fighting skills, so why should she call her mother?
The road was crowded with carriages, and their carriage did not move a step. Hu Ling opened the curtain, hoping to take another look at Zhu Shang, but instead saw another familiar person, or a pair of familiar eyes, Quan Shui Such clear eyes. The brows had just wrinkled, but then they became flat again, and he shouted: "Kigoro."
During the tea fight, all her attention was on Zhu Shang and she didn't see Ji Xuan at all.
Ji Xuan was about to get on the carriage, when he turned around, a little surprised, and then nodded and said hello: "Madam Xu Sanniang, long time no see." He left Beijing when he was seven years old, and it has been seven years now. It is rare that Madam Hu still recognizes him.
Ji Xuan's grandfather was once a good doctor in the Hanlin Academy. He was a well-known figure in Tai Hospital ten years ago. Ji Xuan's father's medical skills were better than those of his grandfather and he also entered Tai Hospital. However, seven years ago, he was swallowed up because of an incident. Death from poison.
The eldest son died young, and Mr. Ji resigned from his position in Taiyuan Hospital and moved his family back to Suzhou, leaving only his second son, a Hanlin medical officer, in Bianjing.
Mrs. Ji lost her husband and was crying all day long. She was suffering from many illnesses. She was in a bad mood and was in poor health. She was unable to take care of Ji Xuan. Therefore, Ji Xuan was almost brought up by Mrs. Ji and Mrs. Ji, and all the medical skills were taught by Mrs. Ji himself.
The conditions under which Mrs. Ji taught Ji Xuan medical skills were that he was not allowed to enter Bianjing and was not allowed to become an imperial doctor.
After saying a few words, the carriage started to move and a hasty farewell was made.
After returning, Xu Nuo dismissed Hu Ling and pulled Chun Tang to ask about Zhu Shang and Ji Xuan. She believed that these two people would not become tea drinkers for no reason.
The results she obtained surprised her. Zhu Shang was the owner of Jun Kiln and had monopolized the cultivation of Maojian tea in just five years. His status in the business world was high enough to become a tea taster in a formal tea fight, but he I don’t know much about tea, so I couldn’t participate.
Ji Xuan has an extraordinary ability to recognize the smell of tea and is also very talented in tea ceremony. He is strong enough to sit in the main hall of the tea competition, but because he is still young, he settles for the second best.
Xu Nuo suddenly knew the reason why Zhu Shang and Ji Xuan were familiar with each other.
Jun kiln is one of the five famous kilns in the Song Dynasty, and Maojian is also extremely famous for its tea.
Zhu Shang turned out to be a truly rich man and a genius in business!
Such a fact surprised Xunuo, and he even couldn't believe it. After all, he looked like he was only in his twenties. No matter how good he was at making money, it would be too difficult to achieve what he is today. What's more, according to Chuntang, he started from scratch and had no Family helps.
Jun kiln is in Junzhou, and Maojian is distributed in various states, both of which are thousands of miles away from Suzhou. How did Zhu Shang manage these two industries?
When she wanted to ask in detail, Mrs. Lu and Twenty-one Niangs came. Chuntang hurriedly stepped aside, while she stood up and saluted: "Mom, aunt." They were going to have dinner at Langyuan Hall tonight, and the two of them must have come to urge them. She went quickly.
Mrs. Lu smiled gently, and Niang Twenty-one smiled brightly.
"Liu Niang, I really didn't expect that your tea ceremony would improve so quickly, and that you would also know how to play tea tricks." Although Mrs. Lu smiled, her voice was a little choked, showing her joy at having a daughter in our family grow up.
Xu Nuo smiled and said coquettishly: "Mom, my child may be a genius in this area, but the fourth sister is better than me. She got the first place, and I am the third. I will definitely fight for the first place next year." Only in She would only show such a posture in front of Mrs. Lu. For a moment, I remembered the comments of my colleagues in my previous life. If they saw me talking like this, I'm afraid they wouldn't say anything about her mother, but would be disgusted and vomited.
She is just a little girl now, she has a reason to act coquettishly! There is a reason too!
Before today's tea fight, her tea cakes were replaced by old tea by Xu Qian. Although she later used the tea cakes she had prepared separately, it was not as good as the ones Xu Qian and others had prepared, so the tea cake would be a bit inferior, otherwise this second tea cake would be inferior. It couldn't be Xu Qian's, because she has never been a shy person.
The twenty-one mother laughed out loud and showed her teeth: "Sister, look at this girl, she likes to brag about herself even more than I do."
"My Liu Niang is not a scoundrel like you, she is very well-behaved." Mrs. Lu's eyes were full of smiles. She glanced at Niang Twenty-one and picked up the jacket from the hanger to put it on Xu Nuo with a soft voice. He said: "It will be cold when I come back later."
She is the seventeenth eldest child in the Lu family and is nine years older than her mother. They have opposite personalities but get along well with each other.
On the way to Langyuan Hall, Xu Nuo learned from Mrs. Lu that the Xu family won the first place in the tea fight this year, and that Zhang Xian also got a good ranking and wrote good lyrics. Mrs. Zhang was so happy that she rewarded the maids and women in the courtyard with a lot of money.
"Second sister-in-law." A tall man with a handsome face came over with a smile on his face.
This person is the third master of the Xu family, Xu Gulei, who is only twenty-six years old this year.
Ever since Xu Gulei became the queen and represented the Xu family in a tea fight, the Xu family has never lost.
It's just that he has been taking exams for many years, but he has always been a Gongsheng student, not even a candidate. Therefore, his position in the family is neither embarrassing nor embarrassing. He has fame but no real power.
Xu Nuo bowed and saluted: "Third Uncle." Today was the first time she met Xu Gulei. She remembered that he was very kind to the original owner and was a kind person.
"Liu Niang's tea ceremony is progressing very fast. Will you surpass Third Uncle in the future? If you surpass Third Uncle, can Third Uncle give you a set of gold-headed noodles?" Xu Gulei said with a smile, his eyes sincere and not like he was joking.
Xu Nuo is very happy. She is happy that the Xu family has someone who treats her well: "Third uncle, please don't laugh at me. I am just lucky. I have only been exposed to tea ceremony for half a month. How can I compare with third uncle."
