Tibetan Sea Pearl

Chapter 66 A Group of Poor Scholars

Especially the young man named Wu Tong's sharp words, Su Yue found it very interesting, so he listened carefully.

"Success is a sea ban, and failure is a sea ban." Tang Baozhou stood up and waved his hand, "Coastal fishermen have lived by fishing for generations. If the sea ban is not lifted, it is equivalent to cutting off the livelihood of coastal fishermen. Merchants, if you do not open the sea ban, it is equivalent to cutting off the money path of the coastal merchants, cutting off the way of life of the people, and the people will naturally rise up to resist. In this way, the contradictions among the people will break out..."

The people present nodded frequently, whispered to each other, and talked a lot.

"Brother Baozhou is a good talker." Wu Tong continued the topic, "The sea ban has been lifted, and the conflicts between fishermen and businessmen along the coast have been calmed down, but the country's gate is wide open, just like the door of your own yard is unlocked. It is easy to attract thieves, and this action also attracted the invasion of Japanese pirates at sea. Coastal residents and merchants suffer from Japanese pirates, so repeated, each has its own advantages and disadvantages. Is this sea ban opened or not?"

When Wu Tong said this, the image was appropriate, and the rest of the people laughed when they heard it, and joked, "How do you put a lock on your yard?"

The people present laughed, "I'm afraid it's not just us, even the current Holy Majesty wants to know how to lock our yard and what kind of lock it should be."

There was an impassioned speech in the tea shed, and at some point, it attracted several scholars to come to listen.

When it comes to having fun, how can we have less drink to add to the fun? Without drink, tea is also good.

Tang Baozhou swept the two bowls of boiled water on the table, "Brother Wu Tong, Brother Dachun, you are too unkind. You have taken up the precious place of other girls, and you don't drink a bowl of herbal tea." Clothed in coarse cloth, he immediately understood, and shouted loudly to the people sitting under the tea shed, "Little girl, each of you has a bowl of herbal tea, and I'll be the host."

Su Yue ordered Hong Jiao to serve tea.

In front of everyone present was a bowl of dark herbal tea, which was warm and steaming.

"Brother Wu Tong, Brother Dachun, let's do it first and respect." It's been a long time since everyone expressed their opinions and debated so heartily like today. It's really fun. Tang Baozhou boldly picked up the bowl and prepared to drink it all in one gulp.

The spectators standing under the tea shed all stared wide-eyed, watching them drink a bowl of herbal tea.

Tang Baozhou also felt that the people under the tea shed looked at him a little strangely.

With a sound of "Wow", Tang Baozhou vomited all the herbal tea he had just drank, and shouted to the servant, "Hurry up and bring water."

The rest of them were all scholars who were about to go to the city to take part in the rural examination. They had just picked up the bowl, and they didn't know what happened when they saw it.

"Water, where is the water?" The servant standing next to him was so frightened that he lost his head for a moment, forgot where the water was, where there was water, and frantically looked for water.

Wu Tong and Wu Dachun also went to look for water. There was no water in front of them, only herbal tea. The two bowls of water that the girl served just now had already been drunk.

Everyone in the tea shed was in a panic looking for water, but where was the water?

Looking around, the little book boy carrying a black lacquered jade bamboo wooden box, saw the crowd in a mess, and it took a while to come back to his senses. Wasn't the water in his arms, and hurriedly took the teapot out of the wooden box? Take it out.

The servant patted the little bookboy heavily, "I'll take care of you later." He took a teacup and poured a glass of water, and held it in front of Tang Baozhou, "Master, here comes the water, here comes the water."

Tang Baozhou took the teacup and rinsed his mouth with water. The taste in his mouth improved a lot. "This herbal tea is really too bitter. I lost my composure just now and made everyone laugh."

The onlookers jumped out and pointed to a wooden plaque with words too small to see, "Isn't it written, Kucha."

"The bitter tea made by this girl is so bitter that no one pays for it."

"The tea is a little bit bitter, but don't worry about poisoning it." Someone imitated Su Yue's tone, "Poison is so expensive. After poisoning, herbal tea won't sell for fifty yuan a bowl."

Su Yue shook her big cattail fan, looked at the panicked crowd in the tea shed, and said calmly, "Good medicine tastes bitter and is good for the disease. My tea clears heat and detoxifies. It is most suitable for you students who study hard in cold windows and are going to end up in the city. Drink it." .”

A young man in a brocade robe, leading a horse, stood outside the tea shed with a straight figure like a tall green bamboo, staring at the back of the girl in front of him with burning eyes.

There is a row of white lilac flowers on the girl's head. The fragrance of lilac flowers is faint, and if you want to smell it carefully, it will blow away with the wind.

It was the first time I saw this girl, the herbal tea shop had no business, she was fluttering butterflies with a fan, she was very cute.

See you this time, I didn't expect so many customers to come to the shop.

The scholar who was about to leave in the tea shed looked at the girl and smiled elegantly, "Girl, your tea is too bitter, even bitterer than Coptis chinensis, how can people drink it?"

Seeing so many guests for the first time, Hong Jiao pulled La Suyue's sleeve nervously, and whispered, "These scholars won't be looking for trouble."

"Don't be afraid, a group of poor scholars." Su Yue also lowered her voice, pulled away Hong Jiao's body, "Let me do it."

Su Yue waved her fan, and walked two steps forward lightly, "Young Master, if you want to drink sweet tea, you can take two more steps, and you can get it when you enter the city."

The melon-eating crowd echoed, "If you want to drink West Lake Longjing and Tieguanyin, you go to the city. In this wilderness, a bowl of herbal tea would be nice."

Su Yue smiled wryly, "Ode to the Opening in the Tang Dynasty written by Zen Master Huang of the Tang Dynasty, I must have read it. If you don't go through the cold side, you will get the fragrance of plum blossoms. How can plum blossoms not go through the bitter cold? There will be plum blossoms in full bloom and the fragrance of plum blossoms will come to your nostrils. You are scholars who are preparing for the end of the autumn, you have studied hard for ten years, may I ask, are you suffering?"

"It's bitter." Who didn't study hard after ten years of hard work.

"If you can endure the hardship of studying today, you will be able to be named on the gold list in the future, and pass on the golden palace!"

The girl straightened her back, as dazzling as the scorching sun outside, as tall and straight as the green pine on the mountain, and her bearing was not inferior to the man at all.

Everyone listened with enthusiasm, and their hearts were surging. Which scholar would not want to pass on the golden palace, get a Jinshi, and glorify their ancestors.

Su Yue said unhurriedly, "May I ask, the bitterness of reading or the bitterness of herbal tea, which one is more bitter?"

"Of course it's hard to study." Among the crowd, there are many people who have failed in the exam many times, and they have doubted their lives in the exam. When they think of the long journey of studying with the lamp on every night, they can't bear to look back and weep.

"Study is so hard, you can all bear it, the bitterness of herbal tea is nothing, compared with the pain of reading, it's just a drop in the bucket."

Everyone nodded and whispered, "What the girl said is very reasonable, herbal tea is so bitter, what is it?"

"It's just a bowl of herbal tea, what's the big deal." Someone proudly brought a bowl of herbal tea and drank it down. The bitterness made the person shrug his mouth, cursing inwardly, "Damn it, what kind of bitter tea is this? But he didn't show anything on his face, he could only smash his teeth and swallow it in his stomach, and drank the herbal tea with his teeth gritted.

"Good! Good!" There was a burst of warm applause and cheers in the tea shed.

"Second Miss, I didn't expect you to be so powerful." Hong Jiao was also a little excited.

Looking at the scholars present, they drank all the herbal tea one by one, and they didn't cry bitterly. Unlike those tea drinkers before, who would die if they drank herbal tea, these were a group of spine-chilling scholars.

"I'm already very good." Su Yue raised the corners of her mouth without any humility, "I just said, this is a good tea that can clear away heat, detoxify and cure diseases. How can such a good tea be wasted."
