Yuewan Teahouse faces the lake and uses bamboo as the main material to build a large pavilion. Although it is simple, it has no problem in protecting it from wind and rain. In the eyes of many people, it is even more elegant and interesting.
Some people who have come from afar can row their boats to the edge of the pavilion, and with a slight step, they can directly enter the tea shop.
Four young scholars had just stepped onto the pavilion and looked around, looking inquiring.
"Brother Wei Zhen, this place is quite nice." Wang Hanzhen was very interested.
"Oh, shabby..." Liu Weizhen's expression was not very good. If he was not being held back by a few classmates, he would not be willing to come anyway.
Tao Kegong smiled meaningfully, "Let's go, go in first, ha, brother Wei Zhen is actually half the owner of this place."
"Wait! Promise me something first." Liu Weizhen lowered his voice and said hastily.
Shen Menglin was confused, "What's the matter?"
"Just don't reveal your identity first, so you can save some face for me, okay?"
It was rare for Liu Weizhen to be so humble. The three of them felt relieved and agreed, "It's a small matter. It's up to you. I can call you Brother Liu."
Entering the pavilion, there were many relatively independent small spaces separated by bamboo walls. The four of them found a place by the lake and sat down.
The waiter came to greet the four of them and ordered some tea and food. Shen Menglin asked specifically, "Do you have some tea?"
"Of course there is, sir, look at that."
The waiter pointed to a room diagonally opposite. A young lady was dressed plainly but still elegantly. She ordered tea skillfully and elegantly, and she seemed to have a sense of style when she entered the room.
But this was obviously not what Shen Menglin and the others wanted, so they asked again, "Can your lady Jiang come over and order some tea?"
"Sir, I'm sorry, my wife no longer orders tea herself. Please forgive me." The boy often encountered this question and answered it without thinking.
Wang Hanjin refused to give up easily, "We came from Lin'an because of the reputation. Please ask your wife to be accommodating."
The boy still shook his head, "I'm sorry, it really can't be done."
Tao Kegong took out a sling of copper coins from his sleeve pocket and stuffed it into the boy's hand, "This is to reward you. Please go and tell your wife that we are willing to pay you a hundred coins for tea."
The boy grinned and weighed the copper coins in his hand, "You are very generous, sir, but my wife really doesn't order tea herself anymore. This is not a matter of tea money. Even if you pay a thousand guan, it still won't work. In fact, my wife really doesn't order tea herself anymore. The other tea girls in the shop are also very good at their skills. They are already eight or nine times more successful. You can give it a try. If you are not satisfied, you will not be charged."
"Forget it, then there's no need for it." Tao Kegong had no choice but to give up the idea.
"What about this reward?" the boy asked, but his hand showed no intention of returning it.
If you give rewards to those who go out, there is no reason to go back. Do you want to lose the face of scholars?
So Tao Kegong waved his hand grandly, "This is just a reward for you. Please bring the refreshments as soon as possible."
"Okay, thank you sir, the small one will be delivered right away."
The boy had a sly smile on his face, put the copper coins in his arms, slipped off his feet, and ran to report the bill.
"Haha, Brother Ke Gong really steals the chicken but loses the rice." Wang Hanjin joked with a smile.
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. I don't care about dozens of pennies." To cover up his embarrassment, Tao Kegong looked at the bamboo wall, "Hey, these calligraphy and paintings are quite good. Look at the signature, it was left by a recent guest. This Moon Bay is truly a collection of elegant and elegant people."
Shen Menglin sighed, "Brother Liu, you are quite good at business. In just one or two months, you have created a place that is loved by literati."
"No, no, no, no, no, no, she's not my wife..." Liu Weizhen deliberately declared, "There's nothing praiseworthy about the merchant's tricks."
He knew that these classmates were praising them, but in their hearts they were laughing at him for marrying a business woman.
Originally, he had no hope for his unmarried wife, so due to family arrangements, he could only passively accept it.
When this tea shop first opened, it reached his ears. After hearing some information about the Jiang family's wife, for a while, he also thought about Wanwan in Lin'an City.
But this possibility had another terrible consequence, so he just had an ostrich mentality and ignored it.
Unexpectedly, as the divorce was approaching, several classmates actually took time off to come to congratulate her. I heard that the Jiang family's wife actually ran a tea shop. She insisted on coming here today, obviously to embarrass herself deliberately.
It doesn’t matter that the person he wants to marry comes from a family of rough warriors. It’s simply insulting to show up and run a lowly business as a merchant. What’s more, the wedding is approaching. What serious young lady who is about to leave the court is so disrespectful to her dignity?
As for the rumors circulating, they were even more unpalatable. When Liu Weizhen went out, he felt like there were people pointing fingers at him everywhere, so he simply stayed at home.
He also mentioned to his grandfather that he would take care of this matter in the name of his in-laws and ask Jiang to restrain himself and save some face for the Liu family.
Unexpectedly, he was rejected, and only one sentence was thrown to him, "Don't worry about other things, just marry the person back."
For such an abnormal thing, after thinking about it, he probably understood that his family should use his marriage as a tool, but he couldn't figure out what the Jiang family could do if they were in such a poor situation.
No matter what, just accept your fate first. The worst case scenario is that you will return to Lin'an immediately after getting married.
Fortunately, the woman named Jiang still had some sense of shame and did not go out to entertain guests for money at this time. Otherwise, she would be laughed at for the rest of her life if she returned to Taixue.
After the tea was served, Liu Weizhen pretended to taste it and said, "It's very ordinary. The rumors are too exaggerated and it's not very interesting here. Why don't I take you to visit Taihu Lake to appreciate the scenery of the two mountains of Dongting and explore the secrets?" Not happy?"
"Hey, we've already come, so why rush to leave? As for Taihu Lake, there's always time to go there, don't be in a hurry."
Wang Hanzhen and others have impure thoughts, so how can they give up so easily.
Liu Weizhen had no choice but to accompany them and chat. After a while, a group of young scholars sat next to them, and they chatted as if no one else was there.
"Brother Junjun, you went to Huating a while ago and praised Mrs. Jiang as rare in heaven and the best in the world. Today Xu has to see it with her own eyes. If it's not as good as what you said, then you have to go to Lin'an to kill that lady. Tang An Anshu came to see me off!"
"Hahaha, brother Junjun, are you a little dumbfounded? You actually dare to say that Tang Anan is not as good as Madam Jiang in front of Mr. Xu. Now you have made him take it seriously. Let's see how you end it."
A bitter smile rang out, presumably it was Na Junjun, "Sir, please spare me. That Tang Xingshou is still here, and he can be redeemed wherever he has money. However, I am not lying. This Lady Jiang is definitely not inferior to that At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, except for the few days when she opened her house, where she performed tea and piano skills in public, she never showed up, so I'm afraid Mr. Xu won't be able to see her."
"Ha! Although this is not Huating, there is nothing that Xu can't do. This Lady Jiang is the daughter of the Queen Mother, so she has to come and pay her respects today!"
