Hearing such remarks, Qingxing felt that it was outrageous! His mother opened the door for something so outrageous! It was outrageous to the extreme!

absurd!

That's ridiculously simple!

Jiang Yao was also stunned when she saw those palace flowers.

Has Wen's changed its nature?

Or are they still trying to use excessive praise to kill someone?

"We're out of good tea. Second sister has come all this way, so we can't be impolite."

"I heard that on the fifteenth day, the Empress bestowed upon him two taels of crimson robe."

"Qingxing, go to Madam and borrow half an ounce."

Yundian Da Hong Pao is the most expensive tea in the world today. It comes from ancient trees that are thousands of years old, and only about two catties of tea can be obtained each year.

This tea is comparable in status to the modern Wuyi Mountain Da Hong Pao.

It's so famous that you can't get a drink even if you have money.

Only two jin (1 kg) are produced each year, all of which are offered as tribute to the imperial palace.

The Emperor and Empress bestowed small gifts upon the royal relatives and also rewarded some close and trusted ministers.

The Marquis's household received two taels this year.

In the past, it was always Madam Pei who collected the tea. Apart from giving half a tael to the old Marquis, the rest was kept to entertain guests.

Even Pei Yanzhi couldn't easily get his hands on it.

The male guests were, of course, princes and ministers. The old Marquis held an important position and had many social engagements in the front courtyard.

When certain distinguished guests arrive, they are naturally treated to the finest tea and water.

In the inner quarters, sometimes ladies from noble families would come over, and they would also be served some fine tea.

Da Hong Pao is indeed extremely valuable.

In previous years, the imperial gifts were all kept by Madam Pei.

This year, Old Madam Pei was preoccupied with her own affairs, and Wen Shi took advantage of the situation to bring all of them into her own room.

Even so, Mr. Wen couldn't bear to brew a cup of it to drink.

Jiang Shuwan suggested that Qingxing go and borrow it.

Why would I borrow anything?

There are only two ounces of Da Hong Pao tea left; once you finish it, it's gone.

It's called a loan, but it's really a gift.

"Big sister, you're being far-fetched. Would Mrs. Hou really give you such a precious tea as the Da Hong Pao from the mountaintop?"

Jiang Yao looked disdainful.
