Chapter 148 The Smell of Money
"Should we go say hello?" Yang Jianwu asked, raising an eyebrow.
"No, I'm not familiar with him. As long as he doesn't do anything to harm Dongli, I'll let him be."
"Alright, let's ignore that then and try the freshly delivered Baihao Yinzhen tea this morning!"
Mo Ye had never heard of it, so he repeated, "White Hair Silver Needle?"
Puyang Xuan sat reclining in his chair, one hand supporting his head and the other stroking Xiao Jin on his lap. He looked at Yang Jianwu with the curiosity of a child when he heard a new term.
"It's just a type of tea, let me brew some for you to try!"
The group sat together, and Yang Jianwu used newly made glass teacups to brew tea for everyone. Her movements were fluid and graceful, and the colors of the glass created a visual feast.
"After the Mid-Autumn Festival, it is already late autumn. We should drink white tea to clear dryness, moisten the lungs, reduce inflammation and detoxify, and soothe the liver and blood. The one we drink is freshly picked, and you can smell its delicate fragrance! After three to five years, it will be polished into a lotus leaf fragrance; after eight years, it will have a sweet jujube fragrance; if it can be stored for more than fifteen years, it will transform into a mellow and natural medicinal fragrance, with even higher medicinal value. That is the highest level of appreciating Baihao Yinzhen."
Mo Ye took the tea canister and examined it closely. "The leaves are perfectly preserved! How did you do that?"
Yang Jianwu smiled and replied, "The best way to make this tea is to sun-dry it without frying or kneading. After the tender tea leaves are picked, they only go through two processes: withering and drying. The finished tea has a complete appearance with white downy hairs, as white as silver and snow."
The rich aroma of the tea leaves was quickly released, and Yang Jianwu distributed the tea leaves one by one.
"The tea smells so good!" Puyangxuan put Xiaojin aside, picked up the cup and tasted it. It had a grassy aroma, which made people feel very refreshed and comfortable. When it entered the mouth, the aroma became stronger, and the taste was mellow, slightly sweet, light and refreshing.
"That's right, don't you even know who made it!"
Mo Ye chuckled and fanned his nose with his hand, "I don't smell any tea fragrance, I only smell the stench of money..."
Yang Jianwu covered half her face in embarrassment, "Oh dear~ you figured it out! Can't you give me some face? Or are you just like me, with the same awful taste?"
……
Inside the private room, several people sat together, enjoying tea and chatting. These days have been too tiring; it's time to enjoy life.
Outside Jubaozhai, two men emerged from Suyan Pavilion and quietly observed the grand scene inside.
"Brother, who do you think could make glass?"
"How would I know? It's none of my business who made the glass. What I care about now is who captured Guo Suo to eat!"
"puff--"
The person who was laughing was none other than Nangong Yan, who had been rescued.
"Sorry, bro, I just couldn't resist. I'm also quite curious about who came up with this idea..."
Nangong Ji desperately wanted to pretend he didn't know him, but nothing he did worked!
"You better behave yourself and don't cause me any more trouble! If you get caught again, I won't save you!"
Nangong Yan scratched his head, "That was an accident..."
"Whether you're surprised or not, go back and explain it to your father yourself!"
"Brother, aren't you going to put in a good word for me?"
Nangong Ji clenched his fists tightly, suppressing the urge to punch someone. "You piece of trash, don't you know what you've done? The whole plan for Lucheng has been ruined by you! You can't even poison someone, what else can you do?!"
"I...I didn't know the Ghost Doctor would appear in Lucheng..."
"There's no point in saying anything now. There are too many people at Jubaozhai. It's not good for us to be recognized. Let's not go in. Let's just walk around the entrance and leave!"
"Okay, bro, I'll do whatever you say!"
The two walked to the entrance of Jubaozhai and slowly passed by the door. They also saw the glass lamp that was about to be auctioned. Nangong Ji was attracted by the lamp and stopped to look at it for a while before leaving with Nangong Yan.
Yang Jianwu continued brewing tea when Xiao Jin on the table suddenly stood up and flicked its tongue out the window.
Yang Jianwu dropped the tea set and ran quickly to the bedside. This action startled Puyang Xuan and Mo Ye, who also nervously looked out the window.
Puyang Xuan only saw a huge crowd. "Jianwu, what are you looking at?"
"The person who cast the curse on Hongyun is nearby!"
Mo Ye remembered that Nangong Yan had been rescued by the person who used the Gu poison, "Is Nangong Yan also nearby?"
With Mo Ye's prompting, Yang Jianwu quickly spotted a figure, "There!"
"It's Nangong Yan!"
After identifying the target, Mo Ye immediately instructed Hong Nan and Hong Bei to secretly follow.
Yang Jianwu noticed Nangong Ji next to Nangong Yan, "That person's figure looks so familiar... I can't remember where I've seen him before..."
Puyang Xuan saw Yang Jianwu's brows furrow slightly and reached out to smooth them out. "Are you sure you know her? It wouldn't be worth getting wrinkles because you're mistaken."
Yang Jianwu swatted Puyang Xuan's hand away, saying, "You're the one with wrinkles!"
Suddenly remembering something, she ran to the table, grabbed Xiao Jin, and ran off, saying, "Let's go take a look too! What if the person who cast the curse is right next to Nangong Yan? Hong Nan and Hong Bei will be in danger too!"
"it is good!"
"Together."
Yang Jianwu led Puyang Xuan and Mo Ye out through the back door of Jubaozhai, and quickly located their position with Xiao Jin's guidance.
