Chapter 261 Invitation to Meet
Shopkeeper Shen thought that tea was not worth much nowadays, so it would be okay to give Mr. Xu a few kilograms of tea.
"All of them." Wei Ruo replied.
"All... all?" Shopkeeper Shen showed a surprised expression.
"Yes. To be more precise, we can leave as many tea leaves as we can without frying them." Wei Ruodao said, if there are not so many dustpans or there is not such a big place to store, there is nothing we can do.
"This..." Shopkeeper Shen looked embarrassed.
If you leave it all without speculation, you will lose a lot of money.
"It's okay. You can ask your young master for instructions first. We will do this after he agrees." Wei Ruodao.
"Mr. Xu Haihan, please wait until I ask my son before I reply to Mr. Xu." Shopkeeper Shen said.
"Well, don't be in a hurry now, just walk around with me first, and when I see it almost, you can go find Mr. You." Wei Ruodao.
Wei Ruo also needs to have a more comprehensive understanding of Yusheng Tea Garden.
"Okay." Shopkeeper Shen agreed with a smile, and then continued to lead Wei Ruo to visit the tea garden.
While Wei Ruo was visiting the tea garden, somewhere in the Yu Sheng Tea Garden, in a chic courtyard located among the tea mountains, Fan Chengxu was entertaining an "uninvited guest."
It was Chu Lan who didn't want to live in the official residence.
Chu Lan didn't want to live in an official residence, but also wanted a clean place, so Fan Chengxu vacated this small courtyard on Chashan Mountain and made it a temporary residence for Chu Lan.
At this time, the two of them were sitting and drinking tea in the pavilion in the small courtyard.
Chu Lan put down the tea cup and looked at Fan Chengxu: "You seem to be a little absent-minded." "
Absent-minded? No, just a little lazy." Fan Chengxu denied.
Although he didn't admit it, he was actually a little absent-minded, because Fan Chengxu wanted to know about Xu Heyou's situation more than staying with Chu Lan.
Originally, he planned to accompany Xu Heyou in person today, and he also wanted to hear what extraordinary insights Xu Heyou could come up with on the spot.
However, Chu Lan asked him to accompany him, and he couldn't refuse, so he sent his subordinates.
Afraid that Chu Lan would see something, Fan Chengxu took the initiative to find a topic: "Your Highness, I heard that Mr. Wei is blessed with good luck and good fortune. He was rescued after going to hell." "Well,
he is very good with good fortune. That injury At that time, I thought he could not be saved, so I asked military doctors to accompany him back to the Wei family. I wanted him to see his family for the last time." Chu Lan told the true situation at that time.
"As the saying goes, if you survive a catastrophe, you will be blessed later. I wonder if Mr. Wei will still have a chance to be promoted after this battle."
Although Wei Mingting was promoted two levels in a row last year and it was very fast, wartime military attachés relied on merit. For those who come to be promoted, as long as they do well, no matter how fast they are promoted, no one will have any objection.
"It shouldn't happen this time." Chu Lan denied Fan Chengxu's conjecture.
"Why? Is it because of the heavy losses in this battle?"
"This battle was not a pretty one. The victory was a narrow victory, and the imperial court had some objections to the lack of defense of our army when the Japanese invaded this time." Chu Lan said.
"How can we blame you for insufficient defense? Taizhou Prefecture's coastal defense is short of people, medicine and weapons. It is already very difficult to achieve this point." Fan Chengxu couldn't help but say.
"Then you have to ask your good uncle. In this battle, your uncle was the one who took the lead in blaming the Taizhou Army for their poor defense." Chu Lan said.
Hearing this, Fan Chengxu touched his nose dejectedly and stopped talking.
He also knew his uncle's temperament, and he was indeed someone who would do such a thing.
At this moment, Shopkeeper Shen came over and whispered a few words in Fan Chengxu's ear.
"Oh? That's what he said?" Fan Chengxu said with interest.
"Yes, he did say that." Shopkeeper Shen said. "Then just listen to him. Anyway, tea at this time is not worth much. I want to see what tricks he can play." Fan Chengxu made a decision immediately without hesitation.
"Then I'll tell the people in the garden to take care of it."
Shopkeeper Shen was about to leave when he was stopped by Chu Lan.
"Wait a minute."
Shopkeeper Shen stopped immediately.
Then Chu Lan looked at Fan Chengxu and asked, "Did you just talk about Xu Heyou?" "Your
Highness, you are too smart. Shopkeeper Shen and I didn't mention anything related to Mr. Xu. You can guess The person we are talking about is Mr. Xu?" Fan Chengxu couldn't help but exclaimed.
Chu Lan didn't know why, but she just had such an intuition, and Fan Chengxu had indeed become closer to Xu Heyou recently.
"You two seem to have a good personal relationship." Chu Lan said.
"Your Highness, please don't misunderstand me. Mr. Xu and I have business dealings." Fan Chengxu explained.
"Since you are discussing business with him, why not discuss it in detail face to face?" Chu Lan said.
Fan Chengxu murmured in his heart: You said you have to discuss business in person in detail. Is it because you, the Seventh Prince, want to meet Mr. Xu?
But Fan Chengxu could only think about it in his heart, and he had to follow Chu Lan's wishes on his face.
"Your Highness is right. Shopkeeper Shen, please go and invite Mr. Xu over." Fan Chengxu told Shopkeeper Shen to invite people.
"Yes, young master."
Shopkeeper Shen quickly turned back to find Wei Ruo.
Wei Ruo was currently squatting on the ground of the tea garden, checking the soil and the branches and leaves of the tea trees.
Shopkeeper Shen came quickly and saw only Xiumei from a distance. When he ran up to him, he saw Wei Ruo squatting on the ground.
"Mr. Xu, my young master invites you to come over for tea and talk in detail."
"Isn't your young master busy with other things?" Wei Ruo asked.
"This..." Shopkeeper Shen didn't know how to explain this problem. He could not guess the thoughts of their young master and His Majesty the Seventh Prince.
After thinking about it, Shopkeeper Shen explained: "My young master did have something important to do just now, but now he is free. When he learned that Mr. Xu was still in the tea garden, he asked me to invite Mr. Xu to come over." "Okay, I
will Let you go."
Wei Ruo also knew that it would be more direct to talk to Fan Chengxu directly, and in addition to withering the tea leaves picked today, she also needs to explain other matters involved in making black tea, which is more involved. If It would be cumbersome to communicate everything through shopkeeper Shen.
Wei Ruo followed Shopkeeper Shen to the small courtyard located in the tea mountain.
The small courtyard is built in the shade of greenery, and you can see the rolling tea mountains outside, which is quite poetic and picturesque.
Entering the courtyard, walking through the corridor, and walking to a pavilion.
Seeing two figures sitting in the pavilion, Wei Ruo stopped and took a closer look and found that the other person sitting was Chu Lan.
Wei Ruo was shocked and subconsciously wanted to turn around and leave.
However, Chu Lan had already looked at her at this time, and it was already too late for Wei Ruo to escape.
Seeing Wei Ruo standing still, Fan Chengxu stood up and came over: "Mr. Xu, please come inside."
Wei Ruo moved his eyes away from Chu Lan and followed Fan Chengxu into the pavilion.
A new teacup has been placed on the table, obviously prepared for her.
