"Mom, there is a tea stall in front of you. Are you tired? Do you want to take a rest and drink a pot of tea?" Cui Yunfeng asked outside.
Hongmei grabbed Xu Wanning's sleeve, her hands trembling slightly.
Xu Wanning felt Hongmei's fear, and patted the back of her hand gently to comfort her. Then she opened the curtain and looked at the tea stall not far away, with disgust in her eyes: "The tea in this rural place is dirty. It’s bad again, I’m going to the city soon, let’s drink after we enter the city.”
How can that work!
Cui Yunfeng was anxious: "Aning, mother is tired. What's wrong, let her rest first?"
"But the tea here is very bitter. How can my mother drink it? In the past, my mother drank Lu'an Guapian, Dahongpao and Pehao Yinzhen, but she has never drunk this kind of low-end tea that costs ten copper coins per pot."
It is said to be tea, but it is actually the kind of old tea leaves and stems picked from tea trees. It is bitter and astringent and can only be sold to some poor people or tea stalls like this.
Cui Yunfeng said coldly: "Aning, three generations back, your ancestors were not rich and well-off. Now that they are rich, they have forgotten their roots."
"It's my fault!" Xu Wanning admitted her mistake frankly: "I forgot about the hardship and simplicity. Hongmei, when you go back, ask the tea house to stop bringing tea, and replace all the tea in the Hou Mansion with this tea, so that everyone can remember it together. Bitter thoughts are sweet.”
"Yes." Hongmei responded quickly.
After hearing this, Mrs. Du's foot sprained. If Cui Yunfeng hadn't been supporting her, the foot would have been broken.
"Aning, do you want to exchange the tea from the Hou Mansion?"
"Well, my husband taught me a lesson just now. We must not forget our roots. We have lived a good life, and we must not forget the hardship, simplicity and hard work of our ancestors. We want to be grateful to our ancestors, so let's start by drinking this tea."
Do you need to replace the others?
Du Shi was anxious, "How can that be done?"
In the past, the tea served in the Hou Mansion could only be considered average, and only high-quality tea was used when receiving distinguished guests. Since Xu Wanning married into the Chengyang Hou Mansion, her family has also been in the tea business, and the tea in the Hou Mansion has never been lower in quality since then. .
Even the servants in the mansion can drink Dahongpao from time to time. The servants don't drink this kind of wild tea, but they are still allowed to drink it?
It is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality. Wouldn't that cost her her life?
"Mom, it's not too late to tell you when we get back." Cui Yunfeng wanted to scold Xu Wanning, but thinking of the things that were planned later, he could only hold back and persuade Du to hold back his anger.
Du Shi had no choice but to endure it.
A few people finally sat down at the tea stall.
No one noticed that Hongmei and Chen Wang stood behind Xu Wanning after entering the tea stall. They were highly alert and looked around.
When the waiter saw this group of people dressed in brocade and coming off tall horses, he knew they were distinguished guests and immediately came over to greet them: "What do you want, these distinguished guests?"
Cui Yunfeng: "If I'm thirsty on the way, just bring me a pot of tea."
"Okay, I'll be here soon."
The waiter came back with a big pot and several big bowls in his hands. After setting them up, he poured a full bowl of tea into the bowls and said, "Dear guests, drink slowly. I also ordered you to call the younger ones." "
The tea soup in front of me was yellow, turbid in color and had no aroma.
Xu Wanning picked up the tea bowl. Before she drank, the bitter taste filled the tip of her nose. She took a big sip and the astringent taste went straight into her throat, but she didn't even frown.
The previous life was much harder than this.
And looking at Du Shi and Cui Yunfeng, they even touched the tea bowls.
"Mom, husband, why don't you drink it?" Xu Wanning took another sip, "This tea is quite good."
Mrs. Du looked at the tea bowl. It was not even as good as the bowl used by her servants to eat. She didn't know whether it was washed or not. She was the wife of the Marquis, how could she drink such tea!
Cui Yunfeng was not in the mood to drink tea. He looked away, looking uneasy.
"My husband is waiting for someone?" Xu Wanning's sudden question almost made Cui Yunfeng jump up: "How can I be waiting for someone!"
"Oh, I saw that your husband was restless and looking around. I thought you had made an appointment to meet someone here."
Xu Wanning said something softly and took another sip of tea.
Cui Yunfeng felt guilty and looked towards Mrs. Du. Mrs. Du was also frightened so much that her fingertips were trembling.
It's strange, why does it feel like Xu Wanning knows something.
Xu Wanning didn't even look at either of them, she just drank the tea from the bowl.
There were hurried footsteps on the left, getting closer and closer. Hongmei had noticed it a long time ago and stood in front of Xu Wanning, screaming loudly, "There is an assassin, protect the young lady."
Chen Wang was very close, so he rushed forward and kicked away the person who was just a step away.
The man didn't even touch Xu Wanning's clothes before he was kicked away by Chen Wang. He fell to the ground with a bang, throwing up a cloud of dust.
Chen Wang showed his sword, "There are assassins, protect the master!"
When the other guards heard Chen Wang's shout, they all showed their swords and stood in front of everyone, pointing their swords at the person lying on the ground.
When the other guests in the tea stall saw this, they were so frightened that they ran away. They were afraid that the sword had no eyes and would hurt themselves, but they were reluctant to leave. They could only stand far away, forming a group and looking this way.
Cui Yunfeng stared at this scene blankly.
Bai Qingqing failed to shout what she wanted to say, and was kicked over. Now she was in pain, holding her stomach and rolling on the ground.
Cui Yunfeng resisted the urge to step forward and hug the person, and shouted: "This is just an ordinary girl, how can she be an assassin?"
"Huh?" Xu Wanning was confused: "How do you know if this is a girl or a woman without even asking my husband? Does it mean that my husband knows her?"
"I..." Cui Yunfeng was speechless: "I, how could I possibly know her."
"You don't know her and I don't know her either. There are so many guests here. It's not good for her to bump into anyone. She has to bump into a woman like me. I can't help my people think about it. Mother, don't you think so?" Xu Wanning looked gloomy and looked towards A woman who is still holding her belly and crying.
Du Shi was shocked.
Du Shi, who had just heard Hongmei's voice, Chen Wang's kick, and smooth movements, still hasn't come back to her senses.
Do you still want to say what Feng'er asked you to say now?
Cui Yunfeng didn't look at Du. He looked at Bai Qingqing lying on the ground with distress, wishing he could go over and pick her up right now.
"What An Ning said is right. You should be more cautious when going out." Du Shi gritted her teeth with hatred and could only follow Xu Wanning's words.
"Mom, if a woman rushes out now, maybe a lunatic with a knife will rush out later. It's really not safe here. Let's go back to the city." Xu Wanning said worriedly.
Du didn't answer and looked at Cui Yunfeng.
Cui Yunfeng was still looking at the woman on the ground, but she had already taken several steps forward.
Does the son really want to pick up that woman?
Wouldn't that expose the secret?
Du Shi was afraid that her son would have a love brain attack, so she quickly stood up and stopped him: "Feng'er, Aning is right, this place is really unsafe, let's go back home!"
"But this person..." Cui Yunfeng pointed at the person on the ground and angrily said: "Aning, this person rushed out, there must be something wrong, but now he was kicked so hard that he is still hurting. If he was kicked out, it would be better. Her family won’t let you go.”
"What did your husband say?" Xu Wanning retorted: "She was the one who wanted to hit me first. I haven't even settled the score with her yet. How could she have the nerve to settle the score with me? Besides, she, a pariah, bumped into me, the majestic Marquis of Chengyang. Madam Fu, I was frightened, so it would be a kindness of mine not to kill her."
She really wished she could have this white-eyed wolf beaten to death right now.
But it would be a pity to kill him like this.
She still wants to keep it, cut her flesh with a dull knife, and slowly kill her!
