Master Sun was the first to react, and ordered someone to go to the inner room to take out a good piece of dragon cake, and he started to perform on the spot: "Oh, uh, rare guests, today the tiger fighting hero Liang Sanlang came to my Sun family. The humble house is filled with flowers and radiance!"
Liang Chuan laughed along and said: "I heard that Mr. Sun has a lot of old tea hidden in his house. If you take out some of it, it will be a treasure that even the officials will covet. I couldn't find the opportunity before. I have time to make a special trip to taste it today." Taste the divine flavor!"
Liang Chuan cursed in his heart, before you wanted to drink but you looked down on me. Today I'm here and it doesn't matter whether I drink or not. But I really want you to drink a pot today!
The servants got busy. The tea of Chadai does not taste like Kung Fu tea, which can be brewed and drunk immediately. The method of ordering tea is a process no less than that of cooking. The tea leaves need to be pounded and ground into powder, and then various seasonings are added, and finally they are enjoyed. Then he slowly entered his mouth.
"I have both big and small dragon groups, as well as several cakes of tea baked by our Sun family. Although it will not enter the imperial palace and become the imperial tea of the official family, I, Sun, dare to pat my chest and promise that Sanlang will try it. , will never let you down!”
Mr. Sun kept showing off his tea, and Xia Xue felt uncomfortable listening to it. The officials would refuse to take such a good thing, because the dog meat was not served on the table.
There is no one present who has seen the world. The Sun family is just a tea smuggler. To compare their own private goods with other people's royal tribute is simply overestimating their own capabilities.
"I don't dare, I don't dare to drink anything, and I don't dare to judge! I have a strange hobby of drinking tea. I only drink tea picked from the several acres of tea mountains in Xinghua, and I don't even roast it. I also made the method myself!”
Master Sun's heart skipped a beat when he heard this. He exchanged glances with Mr. Xu, and a bad premonition arose in his heart!
When the tea was brought, Liang Chuan did not bring it, but said to Xia Xue: "Xia Xue, I was the one who arranged the marriage when you and Houpu got married in Bianjing. Unfortunately, your parents, Houpu, were not present to congratulate you that day. Tell me, filial piety comes first, and my parents are not far away. This time you returned from Bianjing to Quanzhou, but you didn't say a word of safety. Isn't it a bit unjust?"
Liang Chuan said this with perfect timing. Although it was a dog fighting a mouse, it was difficult for people on both sides to come forward, and they all found him. He had no choice but to be the peacemaker!
Here you go, you have to say what you have to say!
Liang Chuan looked at Xia Xue and Sun Houpu, who blushed and lowered their heads to accept criticism. Xia Xue lost half of the momentum she had at the Zhenwu Temple that day. She actually listened to Liang Chuan's words so much that the jaws of the people next to her almost dropped.
"This is your fault, please serve tea to me!"
After the two listened, they walked obediently to Mr. Sun and Mr. Xu with their heads lowered, and took the tea from the servant. Sun Houpu said, "Mom and dad, you two need tea!"
Although Mrs. Xu is not Sun Houpu's biological mother, according to Song Dynasty laws, she is Mr. Sun's legitimate wife. In theory, she is Sun Houpu's mother. There is nothing wrong with it legally!
This phenomenon is common among wealthy families. Taking concubines is just a tool for procreation. After the child is born, the child is adopted into the name of the first wife and raised by the first wife. The relationship is even better than that of the biological mother!
This incident really put Mr. Sun in a bad mood. He had no hope for the Xia family's daughter-in-law. After all, the status of the two families was too different. If he had Xia Song's status, he might be even more arrogant. To what extent!
Especially after the first round of the Zhenwu battle between Xia Xue and Xu, Sun Houpu knew that he would never be able to do anything with this wife. Just like when the Guo family was drunk and beat the golden branch, they could not even scold the jade branch wherever they dared to fight it. Look, this Before we can do anything to others, the trouble in the family will come first!
Unexpectedly, Liang Chuan stopped this monkey with just his words! Good guy, forget it if Xia Xue disobeys me. Everyone has their own way of doing things anyway. If they are willing to listen to his father-in-law, their Sun family will not be able to go sideways in the Song Dynasty in the future!
Mrs. Xu forced a smile, but she didn't know that Mr. Sun's little calculation was already going on. With a smile on every fold of his face, Mr. Sun took the tea from Xia Xue and Sun Houpu and said repeatedly: "Xia Xianggong's Jade Body" Are you still in good health? We two are old, and we should have gone to Bianjing to take care of some important things for you, but the journey is tiring, and your mother-in-law is afraid that she is too delicate and weak to bear the pain of the journey!"
"It's the child's fault for being unfilial and failing to make proper arrangements early!"
The family always behaves harmoniously and beautifully in front of outsiders, and all they talk is for the occasion, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that the protagonists Xia Xue and Xu are silent and probably don't want to talk either. Now that the tea has been drunk, Liang Chuan is probably almost married.
"Everyone, have some tea!"
Although Xia Xue is unruly, she has followed Xia Song since she was a child and has drunk a lot of good tea from all over the world. This dragon group is the imperial tea in Jiancha. The Sun family must have obtained it through some channels. The taste is really good!
Xia Xue, who was not scheming, even lowered her head and whispered into Sun Houpu's ear: "This tea is very good!"
Although the voice was small, many people present heard it!
A casual smile appeared on Mr. Sun's face. In his opinion, if his wife here is willing to come over today and drink his tea, she must have forgiven him! He has earned enough face today. Look at the people present. Many of them are his friends, as well as officials from Weiyuan Tower. They all give face to support him today!
Sun Houpu took Xia Xue and began to serve tea to others.
A bowl of black tea soup with white foam was handed to Liang Chuan. Liang Chuan looked at it and picked up the tea and took a sip. The tea leaves in it were very strong, and the smell of garlic and ginger was mixed in. It was said that it was more similar to soup. Liang Chuan felt a little uncomfortable after taking a sip. Habit.
Gao Chun was sitting in the hall, and Xia Xue handed him tea. He dared not sit down to receive it, but he immediately stood up, his waist bent like a rice stalk swept by a summer typhoon, and a smile of great honor appeared on his face. You have to say politely to others: "Girl, you are so polite, you don't have to be polite!"
You can be as flattering as you are like that. Although others may feel uncomfortable looking at you, who dares to say that your Gao Chun is just a dog wagging its tail? Don’t let Gao Chun be buried alive!
Xia Xue gave Gao Chun a blessing and said: "Your brother is on duty in Beijing and is very helpful to my father. I have to respect this tea!"
Gao Chun's waist cup straightened instantly, he patted his chest and said, "My Gao family are all loyal and good people, and it is unavoidable for them to serve the court with loyalty!"
"Sure enough, the whole family is loyal!"
The people present really wanted to have this opportunity to curry favor, especially the officials in Weiyuanlou. If Xia Xue offered them a cup of tea, they could make it look like they had a drink with Xia Song someday! Unfortunately, they could only sit in the hall from a distance and watch. After Xia Xue toasted Gao Chun, she returned and sat down, leaving them to stare.
Liang Chuan saw this group of officials and ignored them. He couldn't take into account everyone's feelings. He looked at the few people aside who wanted to talk but didn't get the chance.
This group of people were dressed as outsiders. The jade items hanging on their bodies were all high-quality mutton-fat jade, and their clothes also exuded a sense of nobility. Liang Chuan turned to them and asked, "Who are these?"
These women are the same old ladies who cornered Xia Xue in Zhenwu Temple. When ladies make mistakes, men will naturally come to apologize!
Gao Chun took a glance, and saw that these were the group of people who were afraid of being retaliated and came to apologize. The officials in Weiyuan Building were all like wolves, staring at this group of people, trying to imitate the innocent behavior, looking for an opportunity to strike out at anyone who was dishonest, and stand up for Xia Xue!
Mr. Sun was afraid of ruining the harmonious atmosphere, so he immediately said: "These are family friends of our Sun family, and they are all elders with good friendships. Houpu, please bring Xue'er to introduce them to the elders!"
"This is Uncle Ma, who runs a livestock business in the city. This is the gift he has prepared for you!"
The staff member named Ma just giggled and couldn't speak clearly. He took out a long ginseng that was almost human-shaped from a box he brought with him and said: "I heard that when Xueer first arrived in Qingyuan, she was not accustomed to the acclimatization and was ill. If it falls down, take it back and make soup to replenish your body!"
The horseman’s grandson Houpu knew him, and he knew the woman Xia Xue. This woman had scolded her in Zhenwu Temple! There is still a trace of anger on her face, but she can't get angry when a man is around him, so she can't help but hold back!
It turned out to be them! Xia Xue finally understood that Liang Chuan's arrangement was really useless. Ten thousand apologies would not be as practical as sending a gift!
Every family knew each other, and they pretended to be acquainted but actually apologized. Each gift they gave out was more expensive than the last, and the worst ones were all gold, silver and jade. Xia Xue did not inherit any of the advantages of his father. I inherited them all without touching the ground at all!
fo
He accepted all the gifts as ordered, and said sweetly: "Thank you, Uncle Shi!"
These cheap relatives finally breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Xia Xue accepted the gift. This test could finally be over!
Everyone was happy, the Sun family had gained enough face, and Xia Xue had received enough gifts. These things were enough for her to live happily in Qingyuan for a long time. Upon seeing this, Mr. Sun started to stay with the crowd for dinner. The guests knew as soon as they saw this gesture that they were planning to let them go. Everyone stood up and said polite words, and then got up and left. The officials in Weiyuan Building looked at them and no longer stayed. They were already redundant, and now they have no reason to stay.
Mr. Sun sent them to the door, repeatedly apologizing and saying that he would make up for it next time. The officials didn't get anything. When they turned around and looked at the good guys, Liang Chuan and Gao Chun stayed there as if they had roots in their butts. The nave is not moving!
Liang Chuan looked at Mr. Sun who was striding back with a happy face, and glanced at Gao Chun. Gao Chun, a chicken thief, inadvertently put his leg on the other leg, which was very awkward in other people's homes.
Sipping the hot tea soup, he praised Sun's tea leaves with praises. Originally, he didn't want to get involved too much in this matter, but there is something special about Gao Chun, because his wife is also very capable. He has never achieved anything at home all year round, so he has nothing to do with women who like to point fingers. He had a good impression, and when he heard that the old woman of the Sun family was going to make a fool of herself, he immediately became excited!
