Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Zhang Juzheng¡¯s short business trip lasted five days.  During the past five days, he has been paying close attention to the progress and results of the court meeting.

    The fact that things have developed to this point was beyond his expectation.  Zhao Hao and the Jiangnan Group used a tough stance to fight back against the Shanxi Gang's robbery.  They also used superb skills to bring the situation back from the edge of getting out of control and make things develop in a direction that is beneficial to them.

    All this made Mr. Zhang know that he could no longer stay out of the matter and must give Zhao Hao and Jiangnan Group enough respect.

    So after he returned to Beijing from Changping yesterday afternoon, he immediately sent someone to send an invitation to Zhao Hao.  He also asked someone to ask for half-day leave from the cabinet, saying that he was tired from the journey and needed a short rest before going to work. In fact, it was just to have a good talk with Zhao Haosheng.

    Early this morning, he had people set up a tea table, tea tripod, tea pot, teapot, tea cup and other exquisite tea sets in the backyard where wisteria was blooming.  He also hung a wooden barrel on the wisteria frame. The bottom of the barrel was covered with several layers of fine white sand for filtering. The barrel contained the spring water he brought back from Tianshou Mountain.

    At the bottom of the wooden barrel, there is a bamboo tube with water flowing out. The filtered mountain spring water is dripped into the kettle placed underneath. The dripping sound is really nice.

    Zhang Juzheng was sitting by the tea table, reading a book, and asked Zhang Xiaojing wordlessly about her experiences of wintering in Jiangnan.

    "It's a pity that this girl has a very tight mouth. She answers questions about scenery, customs, etc. vividly and in detail.

    When it came to questions like 'What is Zhao Hao doing in Jiangnan?', 'What do you think of the Jiangnan Group?', and 'How do you feel about Zhao Hao?' she would either be vague or say she didn't know.

    "Oh, girls are outgoing" Looking at his daughter's flustered expression, Bu Gu's heart was bleeding, and he knew that it was not a good idea for his wife to agree to let her go to Jiangnan.

    While father and daughter were chatting, housekeeper You Qi came in and reported that Mr. Zhao was here.

    Zhang Xiaojing's eyes lit up, and she was about to happily stand up to greet him. When she saw her father's self-motivated body, she shrank her slender neck again, pretending to be nonchalant, and continued to take care of the small red mud charcoal stove.

    "Please." Zhang Juzheng said, hesitating in his heart, and finally asked his daughter to avoid it.

    ??~~

    Therefore, when Zhao Hao came in, he only saw Zhang Idol wearing a homely Songjiang Taoist robe and a black gauze net scarf, sitting behind the tea table and making tea skillfully.

    I saw that his long beard was as silky as a waterfall, his face was as handsome as jade, and his attitude was endless and unrestrained.  Mr. Zhao couldn't help but secretly praise him. Idols will definitely be able to debut in future generations.  Well, the whole combination with Lin Run might be more effective.

    "Sit." Zhang Juzheng greeted him with a smile, sat down at the tea table and said, "The day before yesterday, His Majesty rewarded you with a jar of newly arrived Jianning tribute tea, and you are specially invited to have a try."

    Mr. Zhao then sat down with a flattered look on his face and watched Zhang Juzheng carefully take out a spoonful of small, straight and sharp tea leaves from the white porcelain tea can with a bamboo teaspoon, and put it into the golden iron wire in front of him.  Zhan'zhong.

    Zhao Hao is now an authentic rich and powerful son of the Ming Dynasty, so he naturally knows that this is an old product from Ge Kiln.  As for the Jianning tribute tea, it comes from Wuyi Mountain in Fujian. It has been paid tribute to the royal family since the Song Dynasty, but it was called "Longfeng Tea Group" at that time In the Song and Yuan Dynasties, tea was boiled and drunk, with seasonings and even salt. Surprisingly, Shanxi  People also add vinegar, which is more like the milk tea of ??later generations Tea leaves are also steamed into tea balls using molds.

    By this dynasty, the method of frying tea flourished, people no longer boiled tea but brewed tea, and tribute tea also changed from dragon tea to loose tea.  But what remains unchanged is that the requirements for tea are still being refined. Only the smallest buds in early spring, called "small buds", can become tribute tea and be sent to Beijing for the emperor and princes and ministers to drink.

    Jianning tribute tea buds and leaves are small, tender and fragrant, and it has the gimmick of tribute tea. Naturally, it is hard to find, and you can¡¯t drink it even if you have money.

    Zhao Hao learned a lot of tea classics from his grandfather and Secretary Ma. At this time, he naturally chatted with Mr. Zhang.

    "Tea, tea, water, good tea but not good water, just wasting tea leaves." Zhang Juzheng lifted the boiling kettle and slowly brewed tea for Zhao Hao: "Do you know where the water is best for making tea?"

    Zhao Haoxin said that this is not a problem for me. Leader Guo taught me cross talk, so he smiled and replied: "I heard that the water in Yuquan Mountain in the west of Beijing is the lightest, and the palace uses the water there to make tea."

    "Oh, really?" Zhang Juzheng was stunned, obviously he had never heard of it.

    Mr. Zhao couldn¡¯t help but feel ashamed. The father of Mr. Shiquan¡¯s great-great-grandfather was still a ten-year-old boy.  And since he is here, naturally there will be no more perfect old people.  The elegant thing of weighing the world's water can only be left to the children and grandchildren of the little fat man

    "This is not the water from Yuquan Mountain, but the mountain spring water that the mausoleum guard used to make tea for me when Bu Gu inspected Tianshou Mountain."vision?  "

    "I completely believe it, because heroes recognize heroes and heroes cherish heroes." Mr. Zhao replied with a pun.

    "Oh, hahaha" Zhang Juzheng pointed at Zhao Hao and couldn't help laughing loudly.  "You guys are really thick-skinned. You even praised yourself!"

    But I didn¡¯t say you were unworthy¡­

    "Okay, I accept your favor." Zhang Juzheng patted Zhao Hao on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Gao keeps his word. He will definitely not agree if he can't do it. If he promises, he will definitely do it."

    "Taking a step back, isn't it true that there is still some dissatisfaction in the court? Since I have made this guarantee, I will not sit back and watch Mr. Gao renege on his words in the future." He gave Zhao Hao another reassurance and said meaningfully: "We will always  Stand together.¡±

    "Yes, we always stand together." Zhao Hao nodded heavily without hesitation.  If it hadn't been for the court discussion, he would have even shed tears of excitement.

    Right now, Mr. Zhao has reached his limit.  Alas, the kung fu is still not enough (remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
