Chapter 169 Mingxiang Pavilion

As soon as Sun Shaozu heard the word "tea house", his eyes shrank and immediately followed the little girl to the door of the courtyard. Houpu was standing outside the gate of the courtyard, and Sun Shaozu frowned, "What's wrong?"

Hou Pu saw Sun Shaozu coming out and hurriedly said, "There is a tea ordered by the master in the tea house. The tea house brought a message to ask the master to go and have a look."

Sun Shaozu immediately turned around and walked to the door of the house. Halfway, Sun Shaozu saw a mother-in-law. Sun Shaozu said to her, "Go to your wife's yard and tell her that I won't eat in the house at night."

The woman answered, and Sun Shaozu left.

When the mother-in-law saw Sun Shaozu leave, she came to the courtyard for spring.

"What? "Isn't the master coming back for dinner?" Yingchun asked in surprise, "Didn't the master go to the second girl? Does the master want to eat with the second girl?

The woman hurriedly replied, "The master has gone out of the house."

Yingchun raised his eyebrows and sent the mother-in-law down.

What is so urgent? Hearing Si Zhu say that Sun Shaozu asked Si Zhu, it was time for Sun Shaozu to persuade Sun Huiying. Is there anything wrong with the government? Unexpectedly, he just came in and left, and didn't eat at home? Yingchun called Sizhu and lowered his voice: "Go to the second girl's yard to inquire about why the master went out?"

Si Zhu answered and retreated.

Yingchun stood up and looked at a few red burning clouds in the sky, and his right eyelid suddenly jumped. Yingchun's heart can't help palpitations. Nothing will happen to Sun Shaozu?

Sun Shaozu rode his horse to the door of a tea house in the north of the city. There was a plaque hanging on the door of the tea house with a few three golden characters - Mingxiang Pavilion. Sun Shaozu jumped off his horse, Houpu took Sun Shaozu's reins, and Sun Shaozu strode into the house of Mingxiang Pavilion. A man in his forties came over quickly, with a smile full of his whole fat face. He bowed to Sun Shaozu, "Lord Sun is coming. How has Lord Sun always been?"

Sun Shaozu nodded faintly, "Shopkeeper Yu, I heard that the Tieguanyin I ordered has arrived?"

The shopkeeper nodded repeatedly: "I've arrived, but I just arrived this morning. The car hasn't finished yet. The tea is now in the backyard. Lord Sun is not in a hurry. If it's urgent, I'll take Lord Sun to the backyard to see tea."

Sun Shaozu looked at the grovel smile on the shopkeeper's face and nodded. The shopkeeper smiled and led Sun Shaozu to the backyard of the tea house. When he arrived in the backyard, the shopkeeper Yu led Sun Shaozu to the door of a room, and the shopkeeper pushed the door and went in. Sun Shaozu also followed the shopkeeper and closed the door.

This room is very large, and there is nothing else in the room. There are many tables in rows. There are many glass jars on the table, and there are various tea leaves in the glass jars. Yu shopkeeper looked out of the window in the room for a while, convinced that no one was paying attention to this side. He turned around, smiled, and slowly said to Sun Shaozu, "Lord Sun, please choose your own tea."

Sun Shaozu didn't say anything. Yu opened the door by himself, then gently closed the door and walked out.

Sun Shaozu walked to the west wall, put his hand on the last glass jar on the table of the south wall, and slowly exerted hard. The originally ordinary glass jar turned around, and then a one-width gap opened in the west wall. Sun Shaozu hurried into the crack, and the crack automatically closed again. On this side of the crack, there is a step made of bluestone. The steps extend to the ground. There is a distance between the two sides of the steps. There is a small stone lamp on the wall. More than a dozen small stone lamps illuminate this winding passage yellow and strangely. Sun Shaozu walked down the steps.

After walking for half a cup of tea, Sun Shaozu walked to a wall, and there was no way forward. Sun Shaozu looked up at the upper left corner of the wall and pressed hard on a brick at the far end. The brick slowly sank in, the whole wall opened, and Sun Shaozu walked in. On this side of the wall is a room. Although it is underground, it is not damp and dark. Many lights illuminate the whole room like day. There are celebrity calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall of the room, and a bookcase and pen and ink in the west. On the opposite side is a magnificent screen. A flying dragon is painted on the screen. The world dragon proudly looks down on the earth, and the dragon's eyes flashed with cold light, which makes people afraid.

Sun Shaozu immediately knelt down and kowtowed to the screen: "I'm late. Let the master wait for a long time."

From the shallow pattern of the dragon screen, it can be seen that there is a chair behind the screen, and a man is sitting on the chair with his back to the screen.

At this time, when the people on the chair heard Sun Shaozu's words, they were motionless. For a long time, a low and plain voice came quietly: "Get up."

The sound is not high, which is very common. But in this sentence, there is an indescribable coolness, which makes people shudder. Sun Shaozu stood up and stood aside respectfully. On the other side of the screen, there is the sound of the teacup gently lifting the cover. With the slight sound of tea blowing, you can imagine that the people on the chair are tasting tea.

"Do you have a clue?" After a long time, the screen spoke again.

Sun Shaozu immediately bowed back and said, "Master... I'm incompetent and have no clue."

There was no sound on the other side of the screen. Suddenly, there was a very light laugh from the other side of the screen, just like a sigh and disdain. Have you been tired lately?"

Sun Shaozu listened to this sentence, and a thin layer of cold sweat suddenly appeared on his head. He immediately knelt to the ground: "I am incompetent, which annoys the master."

There was a sound of the teacup on the other side of the screen, "I also thought you were tired and had no intention to check." The sound is extremely slow, but it is not cold everywhere.

Sun Shaozu kowtowed his head and said, "I dare not."

"It's hard for you. I can hear that your wife is very powerful." The people on the other side of the screen are very considerate, but their voices are as cold as ice.

Sun Shaozu's face stiffened and did not dare to savor this sentence, but he did not dare to answer easily. He was stunned and carefully said, "Jia is indeed a very different woman."

"Since ancient times, heroes have been sad about beauty. I only think that you can't find a way in the gentle countryside and get drunk there." It was a joke, which came from the man's mouth, but there was no joke at all. Sun Shaozu's face turned white and he kowtowed again. "Master, I will definitely think of it. I must find out some clues. Please rest assured."

"I don't need to say anything else, but Lord Sun, just don't forget your identity. You, go back."

"Yes." Sun Shaozu slowly stood up and peeked at the person behind the screen. He saw the man holding his head slightly with his fingers, motionless, like a statue. Sun Shaozu turned around and touched the door, and light words came behind the screen: "I heard that your whole family has moved here?"

Sun Shaozu suddenly shook his hand. He immediately turned around and knelt on the ground again. "If you go back to the master, it happened some time ago."

Sun Shaozu knelt on the ground and waited for the screen to speak. After a long time, the screen said, "It's okay. Give Mrs. Sun a replacement, okay." The word "good" is said very slowly, as if it was spit out after careful consideration.

Sun Shaozu's cold sweat finally dripped down and fell on the bluestone in front of him. Sun Shaozu kowtowed his head before he dared to stand up and retreat.

Sun Shaozu followed the same path and walked back to the tea storage room that came in. Seeing that there was no one around, he gently wiped the sweat on his head, took a few deep breaths, and then raised his feet out of the house and went straight to the front hall. When he entered the front hall of the tea house, Sun Shaozu's face had returned as usual.

The shopkeeper was greeting guests in the front hall. Seeing Sun Shaozu coming out of it, he immediately greeted him and bowed down with a smile and said, "Lord Sun can choose a good tea?"

Sun Shaozu answered faintly, "Well, weigh the new Tieguanyin half a catty and pack it in two pieces."

Yu answered with the merchant's usual long tone, "Okay..." and then ordered the clerk to call Sun Shaozu tea bags. Sun Shaozu waited aside. After a while, Yu took two bags of tea and sent them to Sun Shaozu, "Lord Sun, you have it."

Sun Shaozu said to the shopkeeper, "I'll ask the little boy to give the shopkeeper money." Manager Yu quickly said, "Don't worry, Lord Sun is the old customer." Sun Shaozu called Hou Pu outside the door, handed a bag of tea to Hou Pu, asked Hou Pu to bring it back to the house, and then told Hou Pu to give the money to the shopkeeper. Sun Shaozu bowed to the shopkeeper and said "farewell".

The shopkeeper smiled and sent Sun Shaozu to the door of Mingxiang Pavilion: "Lord Sun, take your time."

Sun Shaozu smiled and went out. At this time, the dusk became dark. Sun Shaozu looked at the dark Tianyu, carried another bag of tea, got on the horse and left.

Yingchun is listening to Si Zhu's words in the house. Madam, the girl in the second girl's yard said that the master went there to persuade the second girl to say a few words, but the second girl just closed the door and disappeared. Later, Houpu came to the master. It seemed that the tea ordered by the master had arrived. The tea house asked the master to see the tea, and then the master left.

Just went to see the tea? Yingchun frowned. You don't have to be in such a hurry to watch tea, but you still haven't come back for dinner.

Yingchun looked at Si Zhu: "Go on, if the master and Houpu come back together, that's all. If Houpu comes back alone, let him come to see me.

Si Zhu answered and retreated.

Yingchun sat in the small kang and saw the pair of embroidered shoes cut by Sun Huiying on the corner of the small kang. Yingchun's eyebrows frowned a little more. There is one thing that I still don't understand. Sun Huiying is a few years younger than Sun Huiyan. Why hasn't Mrs. Sun been anxious about Sun Huiyan's marriage? Yingchun faintly felt that there might be something she didn't know, and it was not easy for her to ask Mrs. Sun.

Xiao Cui picked up the curtain and came in and said to Yingchun with a smile, "Madam, there is a happy event. Sister Xiuju is pregnant."

When Yingchun heard this, he was overjoyed and immediately said to Xiao Cui, "Go quickly and call the embroidered oranges here."
