"Alright, the two of you stop arguing. It's not easy for you to come out to shop, so just shop properly! Let's go. I heard that the teahouse in front is not bad. I'm a little thirsty after shopping for so long. Why don't we take a rest in front before continuing?”Shangguan Mingyue saw that we were arguing and changed the topic.
"Let's go! I'm thirsty too! This weather was really amazing! It's so hot!" After saying that, he took Shangguan Mingyue's hand and went straight to the teahouse. I had no choice but to follow.
" Come on, let's go to the teahouse. We can have a panoramic view of the West Lake from the teahouse," Shangguan Mingyue introduced carefully.
"Is that so? Then I'd like to see it!" I asked with interest.
When the three of them arrived at the entrance of the teahouse, the waiter recognized the eldest daughter of the richest man in Lin 'an City from afar and walked towards Shangguan Mingyue with a smile.
" Misses, here we are again. Are we still at the same table?" the waiter said with familiarity. From the waiter's tone, it was obvious that this was not Shangguan Mingyue's first time here. She was the VIP here.
" Mm, go and serve a pot of good tea," Shangguan Mingyue ordered, as if she came here often.
"Alright, I guarantee that you'll be satisfied!”The waiter eagerly went to prepare.
"It seems that the two of you are regular customers here! The two of you seem to come here often!”I guessed curiously.
"Of course, we are diamond members here. We can get a 30% discount when we spend here. But you, if you work hard in the future, you might be able to become a member here!”Ruyan Liu said proudly.
" Erm…I see…" Actually, I had already guessed it. It was just that I didn't feel good being attacked by Ruyan Liu. But for Shangguan Mingyue's sake, I still held it in.
The West Lake Teahouse was indeed well-known far and near. The decoration was very retro, not much different from the imperial palace seen on television. Although it was not as dazzling as the imperial palace, it was a little more ancient and quiet. The customers in the teahouse did not dare to make a noise, afraid of breaking this hard-won silence. Everyone could only whisper.
"This place isn't called the West Lake Tea House in vain. It's really quiet!”I praised in a low voice, not daring to break the silence.
"Ever since this place opened for business, there has been an unwritten rule that guests are not allowed to make noise!”No one had dared to mess around here. Even the arrogant and despotic Zhuo family did not dare to do so.
"In that case, the background of this teahouse's shopkeeper is not small?”This sentence piqued my interest.
"Rumor has it that the owner of this teahouse isn't from Lin 'an City. She's a stunning woman with a cold personality. Her name seems to be Sima Jing. She has a powerful background and has a foot in the legendary Imperial City. A year ago, there was a relatively large Wang family in Lin' an City. However, the family's fortune fell. The young master of the Wang family was chased out of the teahouse because he caused trouble here. This young master was angry and was used to being arrogant and despotic. Moreover, he threatened to burn down the teahouse and angered this lady. Overnight, the Wang family was exterminated. After that, all the forces took advantage of the situation and continued to annex the Wang family's businesses. Even the small and big forces that were affiliated with the Wang family were not spared. After a year of development, the Wu family was created. Ruyan Liu explained to me like counting green beans.
"A high-ranking official with one foot in the Imperial Capital…an expert. I wonder who is more powerful between your family and her…hehe!”I muttered in my heart and had an eager expression. After Shangguan Mingyue said so much, I became interested in the woman named Sima Jing.
" Mingqiu…Mingqiu…" Shangguan Mingyue saw that I was distracted and interrupted my thoughts.
"Young miss, the tea is here!" The waiter's shout interrupted their conversation.
"Alright! Put it on the table and we'll do it ourselves!”Shangguan Mingyue said indifferently. It showed the demeanor of a rich family's daughter.
"Alright! If the young miss had any instructions, just call out!”With that, the waiter closed the door and walked out of the private room.
"Come and try it…This is West Lake Longjing tea. It's harvested once every five years, and it produces a few catties at a time.”Shangguan Mingyue, who was pouring tea for Mo Wentian, didn't forget to show off. What he said was right. How could the people at the bottom have the right to taste such high-end luxury goods? In this world where people ate people, resources were often only in the hands of the powerful. This was also the reason why everyone worked so hard to climb up. Even if they fought until their heads bled, they would only complain that they didn't work hard enough. Everyone here believed that fate could be rewritten by themselves.
"The fragrance is pure and not strong." It's fragrant, green, mellow, and beautiful. The fragrance lasts for a long time. The fragrance will be different every time water is added. It's refreshing…" I said seriously based on my taste of Heart Lake Longjing.
"How is that possible? Don't tell me you've drunk this Heart Lake Longjing tea before? Otherwise, how could he have such a thorough understanding of it?”Shangguan Mingyue asked in surprise. The man in front of her seemed to be omnipotent and knew everything. Moreover, he seemed to have done a lot of research. Just by looking at his age, there was only one explanation: Monster.
"You flatter me. With my awkward identity, if it weren't for your help, I wouldn't be able to drink such fragrant tea. This is the first time I've drunk it. I've only read about it in books before.”I answered honestly.
"I have no choice but to admire your talent. I have drunk it for so many years, but I have never experienced it like you.”Shangguan Mingyue said with a look of admiration. he said.
Just as we were tasting the West Lake Longjing tea, I noticed that something was wrong. There seemed to be someone staring at me downstairs. That person would occasionally look into their room. At first, I thought that Shangguan Mingyue was beautiful and attracted attention, but I found that the person's eyes were not greedy, but more vicious. At the very least, it meant that the person was here for him. The only person who had a grudge with him in the huge Lin 'an City was Pan Jinlian. But that shouldn't be the case. Even if Pan Jinlian wanted to take revenge on him, she didn't have to follow him like this.
"Forget it, since we're here, let's take it as it is! Come if you want! I'll take it!" I couldn't understand it, so I didn't continue thinking about it. I, Mingqiu, have never been afraid of anyone. I will deal with whatever comes my way.
I don't know when, but I can feel a faint killing intent from my body. Perhaps it's because I've cultivated the Taiji Heart Technique! Because even if I was angry before, I wouldn't have such emotions.
This sudden killing intent really scared Ruyan Liu! Ruyan Liu, who had never seen killing intent before, thought she was possessed. Ruyan Liu regained her composure after she shivered. On the other hand, Shangguan Mingyue was completely unaffected by the murderous aura and continued to make tea for me.
