Xie Li looked embarrassed. Du Chuan saw this and smiled: "I have many classmates who are officials in the court. I would like to introduce them to my brother and choose a good tree to live in."

Qiu Ruyi chuckled again, and Du Chuan was curious: "Everyone Qiu, why are you laughing again?"

Qiu Ruyipo said thoughtfully: "Mr. Zhongming, it seems that you have focused on teaching these years and don't move around much outside, right?"

"Who said that? I have been traveling all over the country in recent years to study."

Qiu Ruyi smiled: "No wonder."

Xie Li then said: "My younger brother Xie Fu is currently the governor of Huainan Province."

Du Chuan exclaimed when he heard this: "Ah!"

But he was shocked by this official position, and his old face turned slightly red. He felt that what he had just said was really embarrassing. Among his classmates, the highest officials were only from the fourth rank, and there were only a few steps away from the second rank.

Xie Li rose rapidly in the officialdom. He expected that there would be someone behind him to support him, but he did not expect that this person would be his younger brother.

Having a younger brother who is a second-rank official, he naturally goes smoothly in the officialdom and is respected by everyone.

He praised: "The Xie family in Kuaiji is really a treasure tree of orchid, guinea and cinnabar."

At this time, the maid came in with tea. Xie Li knew that Du Chuan had good tea: "Teacher, everyone Qiu, please taste this tea."

Du Chuan picked up the tea and could smell the fragrance before he drank it. He looked towards Qiu Ruyi, who already smelled the fragrance before Qiu Ruyi picked up the tea. The two of them looked at each other and tasted it.

Qiu Ruyi was introduced to the tea ceremony by Mr.

Du Chuan suddenly exclaimed: "Good tea!"

"This is the best tea I have drunk in these years. Gezhi, you have such excellent tea in your house. I don't know what the name of this tea is."

He thanked me but couldn't name him. He had never done much research on tea.

Du Chuan turned to look at Qiu Ruyi: "Everyone in Qiu is my teacher in the tea ceremony. What kind of tea can you taste?"

Qiu Ruyi smiled: "This tea is the Green Yangchun I gave to my husband a few years ago."

Du Chuan exclaimed: "Why does it taste different?"

Qiu Ruyi said: "Even in the green and sunny spring, there are also differences between the lower mountains and the higher mountains, before and after the Qingming Festival, and the difference between high and low."

As he spoke, he opened the tea lid and looked at the brewed tea leaves: "These tea leaves are of average size. I'm afraid every leaf is carefully selected."

Du Chuan asked: "What's the point of choosing a size that is average?"

"Tender tea is sweet but light in flavor; thick tea is astringent but strong in flavor. The best tea should be mellow but without impurities."

Du Chuan immediately said: "I understand, it's similar to odor."

Qiu Ruyi smiled: "Yes, ordinary people can't taste it, but people who like tea are particularly sensitive. If a hint of astringency suddenly appears in the sweetness, wouldn't it be like the broken strings of a fairy tune."

Du Chuan said with a smile: "I thought I had already done a lot of research on tea ceremony, and I learned something more today at Qiu's place."

Qiu Ruyi smiled and said: "Although this tea is good, it has one shortcoming."

"What's missing?"

"This water."

Du Chuan said: "Exactly! Good tea must be paired with good water, otherwise it will be a waste of natural resources."

"Sir, are there any good springs in Yangzhou?"

Du Chuan smiled: "Qiu, are you guys going to test me?"

He said calmly: "There are seven good springs in the south of the Yangtze River. The first is Nanling water, the second is Huishan stone water, the third is Huqiu stone water, the fourth is Danyang water, the fifth is Daming stone water, the sixth is Wusong River water, and the seventh is

Huai River."

"Yangzhou has the second one, Damingshi water and Nanling water. Last time in the autumn of Deqiu, everyone drank the Damingshi water as a treat. I wonder how it tastes when brewed with Nanling water. If paired with this tea, it will be called immortal.

Ming.”

Xie Li saw the two of them talking about tea, but he couldn't get in the middle of the conversation. He finally found an opportunity and interjected: "I will send someone to bring Nanling water now."

The two of them laughed at each other and didn't say yes.

Xie Li stood up and was about to give instructions to his servants. Qiu Ruyi stopped him and said, "Thank you, Sir."

"What are your orders, Qiu?"

Qiu Ruyi smiled and said: "Don't waste your efforts on Nan Ling Shui."

"Oh, I would like to hear the details."

"Nanling Spring is located in the middle of the river among the whirlpools and rocks. The waves are the most dangerous here. Ships often capsize here, making it extremely difficult to get water."

Xie Li responded: "That's it." But he secretly noticed in his heart that if he fetched Nanling water, Qiu Ruyi, who loves tea, would definitely look at him with admiration.

Du Chuan said with a smile: "I heard that Nanling water is clear, sweet, fragrant and has fairy aura. It's a pity."

Xie Li smiled and said: "The teacher is here with great enthusiasm, so naturally the students cannot let the teacher down."

Qiu Ruyi is a martial artist. It is easy for her to get the Nanling water, but this tea. She asked: "Master Xie, I wonder where you bought this tea?"

"This tea belongs to me...Miss Caiwei handles all the tasks from picking to selecting and roasting the tea."

He didn't tell Caiwei that she was his fiancée, but he had selfish motives and had illusions about Qiu Ruyi. He had given up many things he longed for in his life, and this was the only time he wanted to fight for it from the bottom of his heart.

Although Caiwei is good, she is not very knowledgeable after all. She can only talk briefly with me but not in depth. If she and Qiu Ruyi were married, they would definitely have endless things to talk about every day.

Du Chuan said: "This Miss Caiwei must be a master of tea baking. Can you recommend me to her?"

He thanked him and said, "I will introduce you to the teacher another day."

Xie Guangde arrived late at this time, and Xie Li immediately introduced the two of them to his grandfather: "Grandpa, this is what I often tell you, my mentor Mr. Du Chuan Zhongming."

Xie Guangde immediately saluted and said: "I have heard of your name a long time ago. I am very polite."

Du Chuan returned the greeting: "Old man, you're welcome."

Xie Guangde gently glanced at Qiu Ruyi, whose face was covered with white gauze. This girl was elegant and graceful. Although she couldn't see her whole face, her eyes were just a pair of eyes that showed her exquisite charm. These days, she saw too many stunning beauties, and every one of them was talking to Xie Fu.

Although he had a good relationship, he was a little scared: "Who is this?"

"Grandpa, this is also half of my benefactor, the noble family Mingyueqiu Ruyiqiu everyone."

"It turns out to be Miss Qiu, whose name I've heard about for a long time!"

Qiu Ruyi Yingying received a blessing: "Thank you, old man, Ruyi is polite." This gift was also for Xie Fu's face.

Xie Guangde said happily: "I am a vulgar and simple scholar. Miss Qiu has a good reputation. It's too polite. It's too polite."

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! At Xie Guangde's kind invitation, Qiu Ruyi stayed temporarily in Xie Fu.

After sending the two guests off to stay, Xie Guangde specially brought the thank-you gift back to his room: "Li'er, I see that Miss Qiu is a good talker, elegant and generous in her manners, and is really like everyone."

Xie Li smiled and said: "Grandpa, she is the bright moon of the rich family. She is the only one in the world with this title. How can she get such a good name if she doesn't even have this demeanor."

Xie Guangdepo said with profound meaning: "If such a woman can become my Xie family's wife, your wife will be a great blessing to my Xie family."

Xie Li was horrified when he heard this. How could grandpa have such an idea? What does this mean for Caiwei? But his heart is ready to move. Caiwei and I just have similar temperaments. We can't be said to have the same interests. We might as well be sworn brothers and sisters, which can be regarded as worthy of Caiwei's importance.

Affection.

Xie Guangde knew Xie Li's character well and said lightly: "This girl Caiwei is really good and I like her very much. After all, she comes from a stingy background. If I become your wife, it is inevitable that people will gossip about you behind your back. If I use you to make Fu Er

Compared to that, it is even more incomparable.”

Xie Li said: "Fu is Fu, and I am me. How can we talk about it?"

Xie Guangde nodded: "Yes, yes, I mean, wouldn't it be better if I could marry Miss Qiu? Of course, I can't wrong Miss Caiwei and take her as my concubine. Grandpa promises you that I will definitely treat Caiwei."

In general, with Caiwei's background, being able to join my Xie family is not an injustice to her."

Thank you very much. If you can do this, it will be the best of both worlds.

Xie Guangde continued: "Li'er, given your current status, it is reasonable to have one wife and one concubine. You see, there is more than one Fu'er."

"Grandpa, but everyone in Qiu may not have affection for our grandson."

Xie Guangde smiled and said: "If you are no worse than Fu Er in terms of appearance, you are not inferior in talent or learning, and your character is more dignified than Fu Er, you will definitely be able to do what Fu Er does. Don't belittle yourself."

"Grandpa kept this Miss Qiu in the house just for your sake. You should seize the opportunity and have more contact with her. I believe that with the deepening of the contact, no woman will not like a man with talents and talents like you."

"Grandpa, where is Caiwei?"

"It's just a matter of looking at the weather. We haven't made the offer yet. Then we will say that the weather is not good and we will make another choice. When you have news about Miss Qiu, we will make arrangements there. If Miss Qiu is willing, then it will be like

Like Fu Er, marrying Caiwei as a wife is just like He Qing and Xianting have equal status, and it is not considered as wronging Caiwei."

Xie Li originally felt deeply guilty for Caiwei, but after hearing what his grandfather said, he immediately let go of his burden.

Seeing Xie Li, Xie Guangde remained silent and said with a smile, "Why, you don't like this Miss Qiu?"

Xie Li hurriedly said, "No, when I see her..."

Xie Guangde smiled and said: "I have seen it a long time ago. You have been secretly peeking at others, like a clumsy boy."

Patting Xie Li's shoulder lightly: "Be more confident and show off all your talents to impress this Miss Qiu."

Thank you and nodded.

In the afternoon, the sunshine is soft and the breeze is cool.
