Chapter 177: Use Qingzhou Jinlan to make milk tea?

Looking from the outside, I, Shao Yuan, can already feel the grandeur of the Nian family's old house.

After entering, I was even more shocked by the various buildings and courtyard layouts inside.

Since binding to the system, I, Shao Yuan, can be said to be living the life of a rich man.

But at best, he could only be considered a nouveau riche.

Especially compared with those families that have been passed down for hundreds of years, those wealthy people who started their fortunes in modern times are actually far behind in terms of connotation.

You can actually tell from where you live.

In Handu, the saying that truly wealthy people live in courtyard houses is not just a casual remark.

Because most of the courtyard houses in Handu are concentrated within the second and third ring roads.

The old house of the Nian family is located within the Second Ring Road, and is in the golden area at the very center of the Second Ring Road.

The Nian family’s courtyard house was inherited from their ancestors. It is a courtyard house with four entrances and covers an area of more than 1,500 square meters.

It can be said that apart from the imperial palace and the mansions on the Royal Road, the Nian family's courtyard is the most magnificent.

Compared with this courtyard house, the villa in Blue City is really rubbish.

Moreover, the courtyard has koi ponds, rockery and flowing water.

Although it is not as luxurious as the mansions on the Royal Road, it has its own unique elegance.

It is very consistent with my aesthetic taste.

The house is nice, but I don’t know if the person is as nice as the house.

The place for receiving guests is the north room.

Nian Hongda was sitting upright at the head of the hall. When he saw the housekeeper bringing in Shao Yuan and Si Yi, he immediately stood up to greet them.

"Sir, please forgive me for not welcoming you in person."

As he spoke, Nian Hongda looked at me, Shao Yuan, carefully.

I found that I, Shao Yuan, seem to be even more handsome than those videos and photos.

Clean and refined, he is the type of pretty boy that little girls love most nowadays.

What is rare is that I, Shao Yuan, do not have that kind of effeminate quality, but rather a very masculine quality.

Si Yi, who was standing next to Zhen Shao Yuan, also had an outstanding appearance, but unfortunately Nian Hongda did not take her seriously.

He is just a butler. Even if he becomes Shao Yuan’s boyfriend, he is still a butler.

It's not worth his attention at all.

"You are very kind, old gentleman."

While Nian Hongda was looking at him, I, Shao Yuan, was also looking at him.

Nian Hongda looks to be in his seventies, although he has white hair and many wrinkles on his face.

But his face is rosy and he looks in good spirits.

He had a kind smile on his face and looked like an ordinary old man, seemingly easy to get along with.

However, I, Shao Yuan, know very well in my heart that Nian Hongda cannot be an ordinary old man who can manage such a large family.

"Please take a seat." Nian Hongda made a "please" gesture.

I, Shao Yuan, was not polite and took Si Yi to sit on his left.

Nian Menghan sat directly opposite to me, Shao Yuan.

"It's true that hearing about someone is not as good as meeting him in person. I never thought Mr. Zhen would be so young and promising. His demeanor at Han Mingxuan yesterday impressed many people. If only my sons were half as good as Mr. Zhen, I would be satisfied."

As soon as he came up, Nian Hongda started to compliment him.

"You're too kind. I'm just an ordinary person. How can I compare to the noble sons of the old gentleman?"

I, Shao Yuan, will not take his words seriously. What do you mean by being impressed by his style? I am actually impressed by his money.

Nian Hongda pretended not to know her and looked at Si Yi in confusion, "Who is this?"

"Grandpa, let me introduce you."

Nian Menghan, who had just sat down, quickly stood up and introduced, "This is my uncle's boyfriend, Si Yi."

"Not my boyfriend." Zhen Shao Yuan took Si Yi's hand and introduced her carefully, "This is my fiancé."

Nian Menghan was stunned, and Nian Hongda was also stunned.

In fact, both of them thought that Mr. Zhen was just playing around.

Boyfriend and fiancé are two different concepts.

"Uncle..." Nian Menghan hesitated to speak.

Is my uncle crazy?

He is the heir of the Betachianta family. For the sake of the future continuation of the family, he cannot marry someone of the same sex.

The family members would never allow their wives to be men.

But with Nian Menghan's identity, you are not allowed to question me, Shao Yuan.

So, I can only remain silent.

Nian Hongda didn't expect that Shao Yuan would be so direct.

After a moment of hesitation, he came to his senses and laughed heartily, "Looks like I'll be able to attend your wedding soon."

I, Shao Yuan, nodded and said, "The old gentleman must be present at that time."

Nian Hongda smiled and said, "Of course, of course. You're Xiaohan's uncle, so we're in-laws. Don't call me Mr. Nian, just call me Uncle Da like Lin Chi did."

"Okay, Uncle Da, then I'll be polite." I, Shao Yuan, also walked down the stairs he gave me.

The two exchanged a few more pleasantries, and then I, Shao Yuan, presented the gift, and the butler had someone serve tea.

The two sides exchanged a few more pleasantries, and Nian Hongda finally got to the point.

"The handkerchief Mr. Zhen bought at the auction yesterday is a family heirloom. It's very important to our Nian family. Xiaohan said that Mr. Zhen gave the handkerchief to a friend. I wonder if Mr. Zhen could discuss with your friend whether it could be transferred to our Nian family. If you have any conditions, please feel free to propose them. As long as our Nian family can do it, we will definitely do it."

"So, even if it's my niece's turn to marry, it's okay?"

I, Shao Yuan, looked at Nian Hongda, speaking in a light tone and with a dim gaze, but it gave people an invisible pressure.

The young man in front of me is not simple.

However, Nian Hongda has met countless people and doesn't care about this pressure at all.

He just smiled lightly, "Mr. Zhen, you're joking. Everyone in the Handu circle knows that my most beloved granddaughter is Xiaohan. How could I really let her get married? I hope she can be happy!"

Happy?

These four words have some connotations!

Do you hope that Nian Menghan will be happy, or do you hope that you will be happy?

If he really didn't want to marry Nian Menghan, why would he say that he could marry Nian Menghan if he got the handkerchief?

This is obviously the idea.

I, Shao Yuan, did not continue to ask questions. In fact, everyone knows some things.

"The person Xiaohan wants to marry can only be someone she likes and voluntarily marries. I hope she can be happy. This is not only her uncle's wish, but also my wish. I think that since the old man loves Xiaohan so much, he must think so, right?"

I, Shao Yuan, have also made it clear that whether it is Han Mingxuan’s former boss or himself, they all hope that Nian Menghan can make her own decision about her marriage.

Nian Hongda understood the meaning behind Shao Yuan's words. It turned out that he came here today to warn the Nian family.

If their Nian family attempts to arrange a marriage between Nian Menghan and them, they will have to face the wrath of both Shao Yuan and Jin Linchi.

I, Shao Yuan, am here today to support my granddaughter Nian Menghan.

The old man was of course furious when he was threatened by such a young boy.

However, there was still a kind smile on his face.

"Of course, my granddaughter, I certainly hope she can be happy."

"Then I feel relieved." I, Shao Yuan, picked up the blue and white porcelain tea bowl, gently used the lid to brush away the tea leaves lurking above the tea, and then took a sip.

“Good tea.”

I, Shao Yuan, don't know how to taste tea, but the aroma of tea is rich and long-lasting. It tastes better than the ordinary teas he has tasted before.

But I always feel that it is not as good as the tea that Si Yi brought back last time.

In terms of tea aroma, this tea is slightly inferior.

Seeing that Shao Yuan praised the tea, Nian Hongda did not think it was polite.

Since he had asked the steward to prepare this tea, it was a boring thing for him to receive praise.

So, Nian Hongda said, "If Mr. Zhen likes it, take it back and drink it."

"I don't usually have any hobbies, except for drinking tea. It's just that I haven't been feeling well lately, and the doctor forbids me to drink tea. I just happened to get these five taels of Qingshan Yinchuan tea not long ago. If I can't drink this Qingshan Yinchuan, it would be a waste to leave it alone. It's rare that my master likes it, so these teas have finally found their mentor."

Once he said this, I, Shao Yuan, had no reason to refuse.

"Then I'll be happy to accept. I've been craving tea eggs lately. These teas have a pretty good aroma, and tea eggs cooked with them will surely taste great."

Although I, Shao Yuan, don’t know the price of Qingshan Yinchuan tea.

But if even Nian Hongda could only get five taels, you can imagine how precious this tea is.

If I take this tea myself, I will definitely owe someone a favor.

How can I repay those favors? I can only repay them with that colorful satin handkerchief.

But the handkerchief had been taken away by the system long ago, and he couldn't give it to Nian Hongda again.

Use his Qingshan Yinchuan to make tea eggs?

The smile on Nian Hongda’s face froze.

He just said that I, Shao Yuan, am the mentor of these teas, but he turned around and wanted to use the tea leaves to make tea eggs.

Qingshan Yinchuan is one of the best teas in the Han Dynasty.

The price of one or two taels is tens of millions.

It is a good thing that money can’t buy.

As a result, I, Shao Yuan, actually want to use it to make tea eggs?

Does this kid really not understand or is he pretending not to understand?

However, Si Yi then added, "If you want to make tea eggs, I think the tea leaves at home are more suitable."

I, Shao Yuan, remembered, "Are you talking about that Qingzhou Jinlan?"

"Qingzhou Jinlan?" Nian Hongda couldn't help but exclaim when he heard the name.

Si Yi smiled: "Yes, Qingzhou Jinlan, our young master likes to use this tea to make milk tea."

"Use Qingzhou Jinlan to make milk tea?" Nian Hongda really couldn't hide his surprise this time.

"Yes, that tea is good. It tastes great when used to make milk tea. How come the old man likes that tea too?"

Of course he likes it. It can be said that Nian Hongda’s favorite is Qingzhou Jinlan.

What a joke, that is Qingzhou Jinlan, a tea that is one grade higher than his Qingshan Yinchuan.

The annual output does not exceed two kilograms.

One kilogram of it is reserved for diplomatic use.

The remaining one kilogram is consumed domestically.

Even Nian Hongda only got two grams last year.

That’s right, it’s two grams, not two taels.

I, Shao Yuan, actually used it to make milk tea?

This is such a waste of resources.

The most important thing is that I, Shao Yuan, was able to get Qingzhou Jinlan. The significance behind this is not small.
