The whole process from when Xue Jinchang met Xian Boyuan to becoming very good friends with Xian Boyuan lasted for about three or four years. During these three or four years, he actually didn't know Xian Boyuan's true identity very well. He only knew that Xian Boyuan was from Wuzhou. He is a relatively well-known merchant in Wuzhou City, and his family has a big business. He has some businesses in Wuzhou City.
However, Wuzhou City itself is home to merchants, and Xian Boyuan's identity is not that eye-catching. The storytellers in the city have never told stories based on Xian Boyuan. Therefore, at the beginning, Xue Jinchang did not think that a teahouse owner could How awesome.
His encounter with Xian Boyuan was also very dramatic. Xue Jinchang himself just walked around and looked around without any special purpose. He just went wherever he went. When he was hungry, thirsty or tired, he would just find a teahouse that pleased him. , rest in a restaurant or something.
As a result, after wandering around Wuzhou City for most of the day, he felt really tired and wanted to drink tea, eat snacks or something. After looking around, he found a very quiet and elegant tea room. Xue Jinchang was very surprised by the teahouse, because on both sides of the teahouse were wineries and restaurants with a lot of people, and opposite were the snack shops and fruit shops with people coming and going. They were all lively places, but here it was quiet and quiet, as if A paradise in the middle of a busy city.
Xue Jinchang was very curious about the owner of this tea room, and especially wanted to know what the owner of the tea room thought about opening a tea room here.
Generally speaking, the purpose of opening a teahouse is to attract literati, and they will choose a quiet place where these scholars can chat without being affected or disturbed. If this teahouse had chosen a suitable place, it would have been visited by many literati and students, instead of being in the center of the city like now, where it would be empty and deserted.
Xue Jinchang stood aside and observed for a long time, but did not see a single customer come to the door. He thought that this business would not be very good.
Adhering to his curiosity, Xue Jinchang decided to take a look inside the teahouse, and slowly walked to the door of the teahouse. When he saw that no one was guarding the door, and there was not even a tea doctor to greet the guests, he became even more curious. After wandering in, I realized that there was something special inside. It wasn't that there were no guests coming, but that it was already full of guests and there was no room left.
"Is this what it means to find tranquility in the midst of chaos?" Xue Ruitian raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at Wu Qingruo, and said, "Actually, given Xian Boyuan's status, it would be better for the teahouse to be opened in a busy city."
"That's right." Shen Cha nodded, "It's more convenient to collect information in a busy city. Even if no one is drinking tea or chatting, Dr. Cha can get a lot of information by sitting at the door and listening to the chats of the guests coming and going. "
"That's right." Wu Qingruo showed an appreciative smile towards Shen Cha, "In fact, Xian Boyuan is not in the tea room on weekdays. He only appears when some tea parties are held. As I said before, he is in Wuzhou There are other businesses in the city, and those are what he values more. However, the coincidence is that Xian Boyuan was here on the day Xue Jinchang appeared."
"Is there a tea party?"
"That's right." Wu Qingruo nodded, "There will be gatherings of literati in Wuzhou City every once in a while. Seven or eight times out of ten, they will choose Xian Boyuan's teahouse because the tea here is good, the snacks are good, the environment is good, and most importantly The important point is that what is said here will not be spread to others, and no matter what is said, no one outside will know."
"Understood." Xue Ruitian nodded, "Actually, the person who spreads and collects the news is Xian Boyuan himself, and he will definitely keep it secret."
"The information he collected is to be passed to the Eagle King. Moreover, as a place where the news is transmitted, he must ensure the long-term safety of this place and not reveal any clues. Otherwise, this teahouse will easily be forced to close. , or become a real tea room with no other purpose."
"That's right!" Wu Qingruo sighed softly, "Every tea party, Xian Boyuan would come to the tea room early to express his friendship as a landlord. Everything went very smoothly until Xue Jinchang appeared. Xian Boyuan didn't expect it just for fun. There will be such an accident at this tea party. He has obviously hung up the lanterns to refuse guests, but yet there is a foreigner barging in so boldly."
"Xue Jinchang didn't notice the lantern? In a normal shop, who would hang up a lantern in broad daylight? You know it's closed." Shen Cha blinked after listening to Wu Qingruo's story, "Xue Jinchang doesn't understand this? It shouldn't be. His family is also in business.”
"There should be regional differences, right?"
"What's the difference?" Shen Cha looked at Shen Haolin, "This is also the case in some teahouses and wineries here. Once there is a tea party or the guests are full, they will hang up the sign not accepting guests as agreed. Locals or regular customers will not rush in when they see this sign. Unless we make a sudden inspection, they generally will not entertain new customers. But..." She looked at Wu Qingruo and said, " Everyone should do this, right?"
"It's not necessarily true. Some business people will just go straight to them and tell them directly that we won't accept them here anymore, so go elsewhere! Maybe, Xue Jinchang's family is like this."
"Whether Xue Jinchang knew or pretended not to know, Xian Boyuan did not embarrass Xue Jinchang. He just told him tactfully that the venue had been reserved. If guests want to have tea, please come early the next day." Wu Qingruo sighed, "Xue Jinchang also I’m not a pestering person, so I casually looked at him and said he’d come back to see me tomorrow or something like that.”
"He really left?" Shen Hao Linzhou frowned, "If you give up so easily, I'm afraid it's not him anymore."
"Of course he didn't give up, but he was forced not to give up." Wu Qingruo spread his hands, "The moment he turned around and left, he fell straight in front of Xian Boyuan."
"Collapsed?" His Highness Prince Ning put away his fan, "Did he really faint, or did he pretend to be faint?"
"Really, he probably didn't even expect that he would faint in front of Xian Boyuan." Prince Dai sighed and said, "He was hungry after walking around for a long time and wanted to find a quiet teahouse to drink. I wanted tea and snacks, and then I discovered Xian Boyuan’s place, but I didn’t expect that there would be a tea party here and no outsiders would be accepted, so my mood should have fluctuated a bit, but as a result, I couldn’t even take a breath and fainted from hunger.”
"He closed his eyes and fainted immediately, but Xian Boyuan was frightened, so he quickly supported him, got him to his own separate tea room, and even invited a doctor to come and see him. It was a commotion for a long time! "
