Yang Qing knew that Purple Smoke, who was opposite him, was secretly sizing him up.
However, he had no intention of responding.
"Does the shopkeeper also do inquiries?"
As Yang Qing finished speaking, Purple Smoke blushed involuntarily.
"Young Master Don't blame me, Purple Smoke is just..."
Yang Qing said calmly, "I heard that the shopkeeper Elegant Charm Pavilion has a unique skill in making tea, so I came here to see it."
"But now I see that I might have come to the wrong place!"
Yang Qing said as he prepared to stand up.
This frightened Purple Smoke's cute and cute face to instantly turn pale, and she quickly stood up in front of Yang Qing.
"Young Master, it's Purple Smoke who went over the limit. Young Master has a broad mind, and I hope he doesn't have the same knowledge as Purple Smoke."
Purple Smoke looked at Yang Qing apologetically, with a hint of pleading in his words.
If her recklessness delayed the young master's important event, she Purple Smoke might not have the shame to go back to the Dark Alliance from now on.
"Please Young Master forgive Purple Smoke, and I will never offend you again."
As Purple Smoke said, he knelt upright in front of Yang Qing.
Yang Qing pursed his lips and looked at her quietly for a while, then slowly waved his hand and said, "Let's serve tea!"
Purple Smoke was overjoyed and hurriedly saluted Yang Qing: "Thank you Young Master for your tolerance. Purple Smoke will order people to prepare now!"
She stood up in a hurry and ordered the boy outside the private room to bring in all the tea-making tools. Then she sat down at the table, calmly and began to boil water and make tea.
And Yang Qing sat on top of her from beginning to end, watching Purple Smoke's every move very seriously.
Purple Smoke is indeed very good at tea art. Before she started making tea, she still had some girlish charm on her face.
However, when she sat down at the Tea Ceremony table, her whole aura calmed down, and her every move had a certain charm.
Watching Purple Smoke cook tea is no less than appreciating an elegant and moving picture.
After Purple Smoke filtered the last tea soup into a tea cup, he gently twisted it with his hand, took lotus steps, and walked lightly to Yang Qing.
"Young Master, please!"
Yang Qing also took it with both hands, looked at the tea soup in the teacup for a few times, then handed the teacup to his mouth, took a sip, savored it in his mouth, and then slowly swallowed it.
"Well, it is indeed a delicious tea!"
Yang Qing couldn't help but Forbidden Land sighed in admiration, and then drank several sips of the tea in one gulp.
"Young Master is a person who knows tea well, and Purple Smoke really admires him."
Purple Smoke said to Yang Qing in a soft voice.
There are many dignitaries and dignitaries in Beijing who can afford this top-quality tea, but in Purple Smoke's opinion, those people are just here to have a taste of elegance.
As for Tea Ceremony, it is actually Peony chewed by cows, and I don't know its flavor.
However, Yang Qing's actions just now have fully demonstrated that he is a true Tea Ceremony man.
This also made Purple Smoke quickly put away the little thoughts in his heart and focus more on cooking tea for Yang Qing.
Yang Qing naturally sensed this change in her.
However, he just nodded secretly and did not expose it.
This Tea Ceremony feast did not end until it was time to light the lanterns.
Yang Qing, accompanied by Bu Er, returned to his residence.
Meanwhile, Imperial Study
"Have you seen anything unusual these past few days?"
The superior's voice was calm, but there was a hint of sinisterness in his words.
"Returning to the emperor, in the past few days, I have not noticed anything unusual. However, this Lord Yang really likes tea as rumored by the outside world."
"Today, I stayed in that Elegant Charm Pavilion for half a day, just to see the pavilion master Purple Smoke cooking tea with my own eyes."
"Really?"
"That's right, this Lord Yang has no other pastimes on weekdays. He only loves to drink tea alone."
"It is said that at the time of Yan Prefecture, he would travel dozens of miles back and forth just for the sake of good tea."
"And now this Elegant Charm Pavilion incident has fulfilled this saying."
Chu Jinghui nodded and waved for the person who reported the report to leave.
When only Chu Jinghui and his confidant Eunuch Zhang were left in Imperial Study, he said to Eunuch Zhang, "What do you think of this Yang Chengming?"
Eunuch Zhang said with a humble smile, "If this slave returns to the emperor, hasn't the emperor already made a conclusion about Lord Yang?"
"Oh, how did you know?" Chu Jinghui glanced at Eunuch Zhang.
Eunuch Zhang continued to smile and said, "Your Majesty, this slave is just thinking blindly. If Lord Yang is guilty, the Emperor would have given the order long ago, so why would he wait to ask this slave?"
Chu Jinghui heard this, and a smile appeared on his face, "You are so clever!"
As soon as he spoke, Chu Jinghui changed his tone. "The strength of this Yang Chengming cannot be underestimated. He has only been at Yan Prefecture for two or three years, but he has already obtained Umbrella of the Ten Thousand People. Even Yan Prefecture County Magistrate Dai Sheng obeys his words."
He tapped his fingers gently on the memorial at the top of the imperial case. "If this person's heart is evil, wouldn't I be inviting the wolf into the house?"
"Besides, Yang Chengming, at the time of Yan Prefecture, was a solitary person, not good at womanizing, and didn't like to work in camps. There is almost no fault to be found."
"The emperor's words are very true. There is no absolute sage in the world, and everyone always has some shortcomings. Lord Yang made people feel too impeccable before, which really made people feel uneasy."
Eunuch Zhang continued the interface, "And based on what I see now, this Lord Yang cannot escape the secular world."
Chu Jinghui also nodded and said, "Yes, as long as there are mistakes, I can correct them."
Eunuch Zhang immediately knelt on the ground. "This slave congratulates the emperor and congratulates the emperor."
Chu Jinghui raised his eyebrows. "I, why are you so happy?"
"My servant would like to congratulate the Emperor on the good news."
Eunuch Zhang said, "I think Lord Yang, in Yan Prefecture three years not only did the long-standing banditry there be eliminated, but Yan Prefecture also had a completely new look, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment."
"What's more important is that in the battle of Yan Pass, when Chen Mu Old General was in danger, it was Lord Yang who used a cunning plan to kill the general Northern Liang within Yan Pass, thus resolving Yan Pass's difficulties."
"Therefore, this servant thinks that the emperor has found a good minister, so he is happy and congratulated."
Eunuch Zhang knelt on the ground, and Chu Jinghui looked at him for a while, then raised his head and laughed, "Well said, I am very happy! According to my decree, because Yang Aiqing has repeatedly made great achievements, I will give you a special reward of one hundred taels of gold, ten thousand taels of silver, and a royal courtyard!"
Originally, ministers who had been sent abroad did not have the right to obtain residence in the capital, but Chu Jinghui made a special case for Yang Qing.
This kind of reward is much more valuable than real money and silver.
"Slave, obey your order!"
Eunuch Zhang responded and quickly retreated.
Chu Jinghui picked up the memorial that was originally on the top, opened it again, took the ink pen, circled a mark on it, and then placed it on top of another pile of memorials that had been reviewed.
