Chapter 303 Tea Tasting

7days ago Historical fiction 7
Mu Sheng hadn't been to the Liyuan for a long time. One day, he suddenly received an invitation. Chen Xu invited him to the Liyuan to listen to the opera.

He hesitated for a moment and prepared to go to the appointment.Mu Sheng's eldest daughter Mu Zhen loves to listen to Li Louxian in Liyuan, and she also disguised herself as a man and went with Mu Sheng.

Unexpectedly, shortly after arriving at the theater, Chen Xu came to see him. She said that the King of Han happened to have just arrived at the Shenyuan behind. He heard that the Marquis of Xiping was in the Liyuan and wanted to invite him to come and talk.

At this time, Mu Sheng vaguely guessed that the person who invited him was probably the King of Han. What is right? How can you say that coincidence?

Mu Sheng has been in Yunnan Prefecture for many years and naturally came to Shenyuan. The ordinary people here do not know it, but they are quite famous among the high-ranking officials and nobles in Kunming City.

The follower stopped in the corridor.Since it was meeting the King of Han, there was no need to bring a guard with him.Mu Sheng and his daughter walked into a quiet hall.

This place is quiet in the hustle and sunny weather, with a breeze on the back door; the house is supported by stone wood, and the inside cannot be seen from the back door outside.The place is really good.

As soon as Mu Sheng walked into the room, he smelled a wisp of fragrance, and immediately knew that it was burned into agarwood. Smelling this smell, he took a look at the case several times, and it turns out that Mrs. Chen was about to make tea.

Mu Sheng didn't have to taste it, just know it was mustard tea.Because of burning agarwood, only the best mustard tea can be worth it.

The King of Han stood up, Mu Sheng had a low title, and immediately bowed first, saying: I am very lucky to meet the King of Han today. After saying that, he nodded slightly to Mrs. Chen who was making tea, and Mrs. Chen was in trouble.

Fortunately, Mr. Xiping and Miss Mu are invited to take their seats.The King of Han said with a smile.

After the two of them greeted each other, Chen Xu said: Let the Marquis of Xiping laugh.

Mu Sheng smiled and said: It's okay.

The King of Han was stunned for a moment.

Chen Xu looked at him, covered his mouth and chuckled: This kind of tea is a bit particular. When the Marquis of Xiping came into the house and smelled the agarwood, he would know that the mustard tea was brewed. It is the best grade, so there should be nothing to do; if the Queen of Xiping is invited by His Highness, there should be something to do. So the Queen of Xiping frowned just now, thinking that I wasted my natural resources.

Pay attention to people!The King of Han suddenly looked and said with a thumbs up, "It turns out that he is a nobleman."

At this time, Mu Zhen, who was sitting at the end of the desk, looked red.

Mu Sheng thought to himself: You are not the grandson of the emperor, but you are born as a king. Tell me a nobleman?

...In fact, Zhu Gaoxu felt very embarrassed when he met today. First of all, the embarrassing thing was that Chen Xu was present.

There was a misunderstanding before that Zhu Gaoxu had just arrived in Yunnan Prefecture and was tricked by the Chen Xu family in Shen Prefecture.

Zhu Gaoxu and Shen Xu seemed intimate, which made Mu Sheng meet... Of course, he did have a skin-friendly relationship later, so there was no misunderstanding.

It is rumored that Mu Sheng wanted to acquire the Shen family's property by taking Xu as his concubine. In such a relationship, they are two rivals in love, and Chen Xu is the woman they are fighting for.

Secondly, the embarrassing thing was Mu Zhen sitting at the end of the desk with a red face.Zhu Gaoxu saw her body, but sat together in front of her father. Wouldn’t it be embarrassing?

Fortunately, Shen Xu was able to hold on to the scene, and her expression seemed to have never happened before, and she acted very calmly and naturally.

Zhu Gaoxu didn't know what was special about this tea, so he took it first and took a sip, and felt that the tea soaked his mouth and nose. He didn't want to comment easily in front of experts, but just pointed a little.

Mu Sheng then tasted it. He savored it for a while with his eyes empty and said: The tea growing by Jianxi in Yixing County is flowing in the stream, with mountains and bamboo forests on both sides.

Zhu Gaoxu suddenly felt very magical and asked quietly: Take a sip of Xiping Hou, where can he taste the tea?

Mu Sheng said: Your Highness laughed.I have drunk this kind of tea before, and I have heard from guests in detail when I drink it.If you drink the same taste, you will know its origin.

After hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu laughed and said: I said how could the taste of Xiping Hou be so effective? Haha!

After everyone tasted this mustard tea.

Zhu Gaoxu did not have much leisure to continue to delay. He pondered for a moment and said: This opportunity to achieve great achievements should be the best for the Marquis of Xiping.Unfortunately, I didn't decide the candidate.

The room suddenly became quiet, and Mu Sheng's eyes paid attention to Zhu Gaoxu's expression.But Zhu Gaoxu had no intention of joking at all, and he felt very serious.

Zhu Gaoxu continued: I am already a prince, and military merits have no effect on me now.

Mu Sheng clasped his fists and said: His Highness the King of Han is good at fighting, but what the court is concerned about is not military merit, but victory.

However, the situation is in front of you. Such a situation cannot be different if anyone is the leader. Zhu Gaoxu said sincerely that if the Marquis of Xiping became the general of the Western Route Army, he would definitely be able to win and return.

Mu Sheng has been left aside in the past two years, and he has no share in Yunnan's major events, and this time Zheng Annan has never mentioned him.Zhu Gaoxu knew very well that Mu Sheng did not dare to say anything, but in fact he must be full of resentment!

His Highness the King of Han has been too proud, and he dare not take it or not.Mu Sheng clasped his fists and said on his lips.

Zhu Gaoxu said in another modest tone: I met the Marquis of Xiping today. I want to hear what Marquis of Xiping have about the affairs of Annan Kingdom.

Mu Sheng refused again: I dare not take it.

Zhu Gaoxu said kindly again: You and I are in Yunnan Prefecture City, both of whom are planning for the Ming Dynasty.If the court sends to the Three Departments of Yunnan, it is also necessary to report the Han Palace and the Xiping Hou Mansion before it can be implemented.For any major event, I should also listen to the meaning of the Queen of Xiping.

Mu Sheng's expression was very subtle. Although it seemed that there was no expression at first glance, the details were unstable.

Zhu Gaoxu smiled and looked at the scrupulous look.

He had already realized that since the Mu family had not collapsed, if he had made too deep a grudge with Mu Sheng, there would be no benefit at all. It would be wise to ease the conflict in private.

After a while, Mu Sheng finally spoke: What His Highness the King of Han said just now is that this is indeed an opportunity to make great contributions.This victory is very likely to be defeated.The Hu family killed the throne and usurped the throne, which was unpopular; and the official army was in the name of restoring the position of the Chen family's royal family, and the justice was firmly established.What's more, the official army has more than 200,000 troops, and its combat power should be stronger than the Annan Army, and its strength has been determined.

Now His Highness, His Highness, is good at fighting and has a reputation; Chengguo Duke has a long history in the battlefield.I am just in Yunnan Prefecture, and I am waiting for your highness to hear the news.

Borrowing the words of the Queen of Xiping.Zhu Gaoxu clasped his fists and said.

He thought about it and said in a casual tone, "By the way, the jade business on Meng Yangsi's side... After I discussed with Mrs. Chen, I decided to make a profit of 20% of the Hou of Xiping.

Mu Sheng looked surprised and hurriedly said: If you don’t receive any reward without merit, how can you do it?

Zhu Gaoxu said: The Ming Dynasty was able to occupy the ground of the Yunnan Provincial Administration and open up territory to Luchuan and other places, and the Mu Mansion made great contributions.If there were no Luchuan areas, how could we start mining?What's more, after I went to war, the Xiping Hou had to help me to guard against the chieftains taking the opportunity to make trouble.

He paused and said softly, "How can you get the money alone?"
