Compared with Jingning Town, the area of Wuyang Town is not far behind, among which Yanxi Township is the most famous, the reason is that the spring rain tea in Wuyang Town is abundant in the tea garden of Gujiaao in Yanxi Township.

Now that we are approaching the middle of July and we are about to enter August, the weather is starting to get cooler.

As the old saying goes, an autumn rain and a cold, Yanxi Township has had two autumn rains since the beginning of autumn, because the temperature has decreased, it is a natural thing, but although the temperature on this day is gradually getting cooler, it can belong to the return flow of the three major markets in Yanxi Township, but it is still full of people in terms of popularity, and the streets are even more bustling.

It can be said that in addition to the town of Wuyang Town, Huiliu is the most prosperous market in the entire territory of Wuyang, there is not only the famous tea spring rain, which can attract countless foreign tourists to buy tea here, and at the same time, in Yanxi Township, there are very famous hot springs that can make many dignitaries and rich celebrities come here for vacation and enjoyment.

In the center of Yanxi Township, there is a teahouse called "Gu Yu", which is very famous, it is almost well known in Yanxi Township, but this name is for those who have just arrived and come back to the village for the first time, or they will feel that the name of this shop is taken from the solar term "Gu Yu" in the 24 solar terms.

But is that really the case?

Of course, this reason is more or less included, but in addition, these two words are taken out separately, in fact, they also have a deeper level of meaning and exquisiteness. For example, the word Gu originally meant that the owner of this tea house was surnamed Gu, and it is said that he was also the owner of the Gujiaao Tea Garden, and this word rain was taken from the famous tea planted in Gujiaao, the word rain of spring rain tea, so the two took one word each, forming the word Guyu.

At this time, it is close to the end of the day, and the night is getting darker, but because today is the 16th of July, there is also a full moon hanging high in the night sky, and the silver glow is everywhere, but it is not dark; however, no matter how bright the silver glow is, it cannot be brighter than the bright and dense lights at night, especially the famous building like Guyu Teahouse, which has maintained a prosperous business all year round.

According to the standard of the general teahouse in the world, it was originally difficult for Guyu Teahouse to develop it to this extent, but now its popularity is no less than that of ordinary Fengyue places, and the credit for this is naturally due to the owner of this teahouse, Gu Qingfeng.

Gu Qingfeng is forty and three this year, his height is average, the whole person looks pot-bellied, very bloated and fat, and even his eyes, which should have been almond eyes, have become abnormally slender due to the crazy squeeze of the horizontal flesh that continues to accumulate on his face, and there is a tendency to become Danfeng eyes.

If you just look at his appearance, it is estimated that no one will think that he can achieve this level of his own business, but will think that this dead fat man is at most a nouveau riche, but in fact, Gu Qingfeng's own business mind is really rare, one of the few strange people, otherwise, it is just a teahouse, how can he make it so popular?

Gu Yu Tea House is divided into five floors, one or two floors are actually the business of the restaurant, and the third and fourth floors are really the venues for tea tasting after meals, because compared to people eating and drinking, there will be a huge noise, and the tea tasting place is placed above, which is obviously the correct choice, and in order to increase the fun of people tasting tea after meals, Gu Qingfeng invited a troupe on the third floor, and invited a storyteller on the fourth floor, as for the fifth floor on the top floor, all the private rooms were set up. If it weren't for real businessmen and celebrities, or the children of rich families, basically no one would go up, after all, the consumption on the top floor is by no means something that ordinary people can afford.

Gu Qingfeng rarely has time to stay in his own teahouse, the reason is naturally that the business has become bigger, and he has to run back and forth, and besides, Gu Jiaao's tea garden is not close to the market, and there must be more than ten miles away, so Gu Qingfeng most of the time stayed in the luxurious manor he established next to Gu Jiaao's tea garden.

But today, for a lot of business, he still came to the market, and the place of negotiation was the teahouse he opened.

There are only six boxes in the top-floor tea house, so it will be full every day, like the normal time in the middle of the year, it is slightly better, but if it is in Qingming, Gu Yu, which is the time period when the new tea is just picked, it is not said that it is possible to book the six boxes on the roof, that is, the position downstairs is difficult to grab, it is said that the most exaggerated time, the outsiders who come here to drink tea are, and the queue can form a long queue.

Gu Qingfeng entertained a business partner who has been working with him for many years, and he is similar in age, but it is obvious that the other party looks much more pleasing to the eye than him in terms of appearance and body shape, and he is a standard tough guy body type.

Gu Qingfeng personally made him a pot of this year's new tea before the rain, and in an instant, the whole box was filled with the fragrance of tea, which was refreshing. After Gu Qingfeng filled the other party's cup with tea, he stretched out his hand and said to the man in front of him with a smile: "Brother Shi, please!"

After hearing this, the man surnamed Shi still looked a little solemn as when he first came, as if there was something sad in his heart, which made him very depressed, but even so, he nodded to Gu Qingfeng first and thanked him, and then drank the tea in the cup.

Gu Qingfeng saw that he drank tea like drinking, behaved vulgarly, and had a wry smile on his face, drinking tea like this was undoubtedly a violent thing, and he also took out the best spring rain tea to entertain him, but although he thought so in his heart, he still had a smile on his face, and just asked: "Brother Shi, what's wrong with you, could it be that there is something troublesome?" If you are worried about tea, then you don't have to, I promised you twenty catties of tea before the rain, one or two are ready for you, and tomorrow morning, you can send someone to my manor to pick it up." ”

After hearing this, the man surnamed Shi sighed to himself and replied: "Brother Gu is doing things, Shi is very relieved, but Shi came this time not because of the tea matter, but because of Brother Gu's other requests." ”

When Gu Qingfeng heard him say this, he couldn't help but feel a little surprised in his heart, but on his face, he still continued to maintain a smile, and he asked: "I don't know if Brother Shi wants me to help, you and I are good friends, but it doesn't matter, if I can do it, I should do my best to help you." ”

When the man surnamed Shi heard the other party say this, his eyes lit up, and he immediately said with some gratitude: "I knew that Brother Gu would definitely be willing to help me, and Shi thanked me first!"

Gu Qingfeng saw that his face changed so quickly, for some reason, he felt as if he was following a thief ship, and he continued: "Brother Shi hasn't explained yet, what do you want me to help with. ”

After hearing this, the man surnamed Shi did not sell him a pass, and said straight to the point: "This matter is actually not difficult, I want to ask Brother Gu to help me keep an eye on someone in the near future." ”

When Gu Qingfeng heard this request, he couldn't help frowning, and asked, "What kind of person is paying attention to a person?"

The man surnamed Shi replied in a calm tone: "A passer-by who will definitely pass by here, he is still young, not enough to be weak, he is dressed as a scholar, and when he arrives at the return, please invite him to your tea garden to rest and play, and then use this bag of things to make tea for him to drink, Brother Gu must remember, you must be in your manor, and then make tea for him to drink." ”

As he spoke, the man surnamed Shi had already taken out a packet of very good medicinal powder wrapped in paper from his cuff and put it on the tea table.

When Gu Qingfeng saw this scene, his heart was full of doubts, and he asked a little hesitantly: "Is this ...... What is this, isn't it poison?"

The man surnamed Shi shook his head and replied: "No, this thing has no effect on you and me at all, and it does not contain the slightest toxicity, if you don't believe it, you can get some tea and drink it yourself, but for that scholar, this thing is quite useful." ”

Gu Qingfeng then asked, "But if I have nothing to do with that scholar, how can I invite him to my private manor to play, doesn't it seem very abrupt?"

After hearing this, the man surnamed Shi smiled and said: "This Brother Gu doesn't have to worry, when he comes to Huiliu, he will definitely take the initiative to come to you and get acquainted with you, Brother Gu only needs to take him out of the market for me and let him drink the tea brewed from this thing." ”

Gu Qingfeng didn't like to do this kind of thing that was very ambiguous to himself, but since what the other party wanted him to do was not some kind of murderous deed, he directly agreed, you know, the other party is his big customer, and he has brought him a big money with a bulging pocket over the years.

So, Gu Qingfeng finally carefully put away the other party's things, nodded and replied: "Okay, I'll do my best." ”

......

At this moment.

Outside the return market, near the entrance of a village called Taoxi Village, facing the bright moonlight, there are two figures hurrying in the moonlight, pulled by the moonlight, there is no doubt that these two people are Xu Yan and Gu Xueqing who have been on the road for two days after entering Yanxi Township.

After entering Yanxi, it is still similar to the previous trip, mostly walking in the mountains, sparsely populated along the way, and occasionally there are scattered houses here and there, far away from each other, which can't help but make Xu Yan a little puzzled, why do these people choose such a way of living, how inconvenient is this? If something happens in a certain family, and there is a lack of manpower, it is basically quite difficult to even call someone for help.

After Xu Yan turned out of a large bay in the mountains, he finally saw dense stars in the distance of his vision, which made him breathe a sigh of relief.

He stopped and said with a smile to Gu Xueqing behind him: "Senior Sister Gu, it seems that we are lucky today, and we don't have to set up a tent for the night like yesterday." ”

After Gu Xueqing heard this, she didn't think there was anything wrong with setting up a tent, so she replied: "What's the matter, isn't the little junior brother used to spending the night in a tent now?"

When Xu Yan heard her say this, he couldn't cry or laugh, and replied: "Senior Sister Gu, what are you talking about, I just think that if you have an inn to live in, you can still have a hot meal." ”

When Gu Xueqing heard him say this, she sighed softly and stopped talking.

Xu Yan couldn't help but be a little bored when he saw her silent. Since he finished discussing the matter of Aunt Yin's affairs with the other party, Gu Xueqing has become more silent than before, which can't help but make Xu Yan feel that she is still angry with herself after saying a few bad things about Aunt Yin?

But there was no way, since Gu Xueqing was unwilling to say anything, Xu Yan was not good at forcing her, so he continued to lead the way in front.

It was not far from the entrance to the village, so it didn't take them much longer, and it took them about a quarter of an hour to reach the center of the village.

The village is not big, there are probably only a few dozen households, but what makes Xu Yan a little depressed is that there doesn't seem to be a place to stay in this village such as inns with clear prices, but fortunately, in the end, he still found a place that should be renovated by the peasant family themselves and can be used by passers-by to temporarily rest.

The house was built at another exit, quite a distance from the centre of the village, and was owned by a couple in their thirties, who looked quite loyal and honest in countenance, and who did not speak much, but the young woman was a little philistine, and looked very shrewd.

After Xu Yan and Gu Xueqing entered the house, the young woman greeted them with a smile and asked, "Do you want to stay overnight?"

Xu Yan also replied with a smile: "Exactly, I also asked the store to arrange two clean guest rooms for us, by the way, before checking in, I have to bother the store to cook some food for me first, and we both walked for most of the day, but we were hungry." ”

The young woman saw that the other party was two sons, but they wanted to sleep in separate rooms, and in order to make more money, she had arranged two beds in one room, so she deliberately reminded them: "The two sons don't know, my room has always been a double room, and two beds have collapsed, are you sure you want to open two rooms? If you open two rooms for two people, it is equivalent to booking a place for four beds, and the price will be doubled." ”

When Xu Yan heard her say this, he undoubtedly understood what the other party meant, and couldn't help but secretly say that this woman is really very shrewd, and she earns money from two rooms with one room, but after all, this matter involves Gu Xueqing, and there is no way to save this money, so he continued with a smile: "Thank you for the reminder, but we still have to ...... two."

Gu Xueqing didn't know that Xu Yan was carrying a "huge amount of money", after all, the latter had never told him, so she felt that she and Xu Yan added up to a total of ten taels of silver, which could not be so extravagant and wasteful, after all, the five taels of silver in her hand had already been used, and there was not much left.

Therefore, when she saw Xu Yan insisting on opening two rooms, she immediately pretended to be a man's voice, deliberately rubbed her voice to make her voice sound rougher, and then grabbed the words and said, "Let's just open a room." ”

When Xu Yan heard Gu Xueqing say this, he naturally couldn't help but turn his face pale, and directly turned his head to look at her, but then, he saw that the latter had a light and dismissive look, which couldn't help but make him a little embarrassed, but since the other party didn't mind this, if he continued to draw snakes on this matter, it would seem that he was a little bit of a thief.

So, Xu Yan didn't insist too much in the end, turned his head and said to the store: "Then open a room." ”

After hearing this, the mediocre-looking young woman still replied with a smile: "Okay, those two sons will rest for a while, and I will go to arrange a guest room for you, and in addition, for your food, I will immediately let my head go and cook it for you, and I will come soon." ”

After Xu Yan heard this, he replied with a smile: "Then thank you." ”

About a quarter of an hour later, the man brought three dishes and one soup, as well as a big bowl of rice and a pot of tea, after Xu Yan saw it, he was already hungry, naturally he had a great appetite, and immediately began to bury his head in the rice, which made Gu Xueqing, who was sitting opposite her and eating in small bites, couldn't help but roll her eyes for a while, but in her heart, she actually wanted to laugh.

I have to say that although the dishes are ordinary peasant dishes, the only one that can be regarded as meat dishes is the boiled egg soup with wild mushrooms in the mountains, but their taste is quite good.

Of course, compared to him and the cardinal, it is still a lot worse, but Xu Yan is not a picky eater, especially when he is so hungry, he doesn't care about this.

After eating the meal, they rested on the dining table for a while, and after drinking tea, the time was almost close to the time of the child, so after Xu Yan and the others paid the deposit, they no longer hesitated, and the young woman took them directly to the guest room on the second floor to rest.

But what they didn't know was that when the young woman left the second floor and came to her own man, she secretly frowned at her man and said, "It seems that the son who doesn't talk much should be a woman dressed as a man." ”

When the young man heard this, he couldn't help but ask, "What do you care about this?" ”

The young woman immediately glanced at him and replied: "Look at your dead appearance, no wonder you don't understand any customs on weekdays, I am really blind when I marry you." ”

Seeing her pretending to be charming, the young man couldn't help but smile, and immediately stretched out his wet hand that was washing the dishes, pinched her buttocks, and said: "Lady's words are against her will, as long as it is not a few days of the month, you are inconvenient, and your husband did not serve you well that night?"

When the young woman heard him say this, she couldn't help but scratch him fiercely, and replied in a low voice: "You know a posture, like a scalper can only plow the field, you still have the face to say, can't you use your brain?"

When the young Chinese character heard this, he couldn't help but blush, indeed, except for the number of ways he used at the beginning, he didn't change his tricks since.

Then, he thought very seriously for a moment before asking in a low voice: "Then tonight, lady, you are on top and I am below?"

Hearing her own man say this, the young woman had a smile in her heart, but on the surface, she directly reached out between his rough skin and thick waist and abdomen, twisted it very hard, and replied angrily: "Death!"
