Chapter 422: The Queen is both a man of letters and a warrior, and she also knows how to make tea
Hearing Su Changan's words, Shopkeeper Liu immediately turned his head to look at the lady, suppressing his inner joy and asking, "Madam, have you prepared poems?"
For some reason, Shopkeeper Liu felt that Su Changan became more and more beautiful.
Su Changan nodded.
Meanwhile, Shopkeeper Pang frowned, but still smiled at Su Changan and said, "Madam, why are you doing this? You've already taken all that, and you're even going to snatch this poem from me?"
The implication is that it's good enough and Pang won't bother with you.
Su Changan could naturally hear it. After all, it was such a short time, how could he not see that it was obvious that it was Manager Pang who brought people to destroy Manager Liu's place.
but
What does your conflict have to do with me? If my wife wants the tea, I will take it.
So Su Changan ignored Shopkeeper Pang, but smiled and looked at Shopkeeper Liu and asked, "Should Mr. Liang send the poem first or can we write it together?"
Seeing that Su Changan ignored him, Shopkeeper Pang continued, "Madam, please listen to me. No one has come out to offer poems. Don't you see? And if you want the tea from the King of Tea, I will deliver it to your house later and chat with you about your unique water painting skills."
Shopkeeper Liu said directly, "Shopkeeper Pang, today is the third anniversary of my Liu Tea House, not your Xiayi Tea House. And this lady created the tea show, did you, Mr. Liang Shilun, think of it? And even if it is a tea contest, the tea made by this lady just now is better than Mr. Liang's in color and fragrance. This means that this lady won, but how come it comes out of your mouth, as if you let this lady win? What's more, these things today are Liu's things. Xiayi Chamber of Commerce is powerful, but it can't control what Liu does."
When Shopkeeper Pang heard this, he smiled instead of getting angry, and clasped his fists and said, "Shopkeeper Liu, don't be angry. You run such a big tea house, how can you get angry so easily? This lady's tea art is naturally not as good as ours. I just gave her good advice. After all, Liang Shilun is also quite famous in Jiangnan for his poetry, especially in poetry about tea. He has discussed many poems with many poets, so I just want to make sure this lady's efforts are not in vain."
After saying that, Shopkeeper Pang smiled and looked at Su Changan: "Please forgive me, Madam. I have no other intentions. I am just tongue-tied and misunderstood my good intentions. After all, this Mr. Liang Shilun is ranked twelfth on the poetry list. You can't beat him."
When Shopkeeper Liu heard this, he knew that Shopkeeper Pang was trying to persuade the lady to leave, so he suppressed his anger and smiled, "Whether it is a good poem or not, I have the final say."
Shopkeeper Pang was surprised when he heard this. "Everyone said this was a good poem, not just Shopkeeper Liu. So, doesn't it mean that you, Shopkeeper Liu, deceived everyone? For example, the poem written by the Queen Mother, 'The Yellow River flows from the sky, never to return to the sea.' Everyone said it was good, but you, Shopkeeper Liu, said it was not good. As a result, you deliberately didn't give the prize. Shopkeeper Liu, as a businessman, I have to advise you not to do this. You are losing your credibility."
When I heard Manager Pang say this
Shopkeeper Liu immediately realized that he had been tricked!
Originally, he was the one who decided whether the poems were good or bad, but Manager Pang's words blocked his way.
And he also used the businessman’s reputation!
Shopkeeper Liu glanced at the people around him and found that it was true!
I heard people around me whispering.
It's hard to get off the tiger.
I am talking about the current shopkeeper Liu.
Shopkeeper Pang looked at Shopkeeper Liu with a smile, thinking, "How can I not see what you are thinking? How can I come here without any preparation?"
Thinking of this, Manager Pang glanced at Liang Shilun.
Liang Shilun understood what he meant and immediately bowed to Manager Liu and said, "I come to brew tea in the morning and look up at the sky. Where are the thousands of willows in the spring wind? I always feel the vicissitudes of life and think about the past, but I write new notes about gains and losses. I watch the colorless tea on the table, and play more good music until I get drunk and sleep. After the spring rain before the Qingming Festival, I dream of the riverside under the moon."
After reciting it, Liang Shilun said, "Manager Liu, this is just my humble work, please appreciate it."
After saying that, Liang Shilun glanced at the unpleasant-looking Shopkeeper Liu, then turned to look at Zhou Xin'an: "Brother Zhou, I've heard that you are a famous talent in Chenzhou City. I wonder if you could tell us about my poem."
As he spoke, Liang Shilun took out a piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to Zhou Xin'an.
Zhou Xin'an glanced at Shopkeeper Pang, took the paper and opened it.
Looking at the poem on the paper, he said, "Brother Liang's poem is original in conception and gorgeous in words. It is really a masterpiece. Especially this line: "I watch the five colors while drinking tea, and I play many good songs until I am drunk and sleep." It is straightforward and artistic conception, and it is really a good line. Brother Liang is indeed worthy of being ranked twelfth on the poetry list. Zhou is ashamed of himself."
After saying this, Zhou Xin'an returned the poem to Liang Shilun.
Liang Shilun picked up the paper and showed it to everyone.
There were also some scholars among the audience. They nodded as they looked at Liang Shilun's poems on paper, saying that it was indeed a masterpiece among poems written about tea.
“Good poem!”
"Well, it's really good, much better than the one in the tea shop before, which had the moon reflected in the pond and the willows on the bank filled with mist and green silk!"
"He is straightforward, euphemistic, and just the right amount of description and exaggeration. He is indeed worthy of being ranked 12th on the poetry list."
…
Suddenly, someone in the crowd shouted out as if on purpose.
Listen to these remarks.
After reading this poem, many people understood why Manager Pang was so confident.
This poem is really good. Although it cannot be considered a masterpiece handed down from generation to generation, it is straightforward and simple, and the artistic conception is even simpler and clearer. If there is a shortcoming, it is that it is a bit complicated, but it does not hinder the beauty of the poem.
Then, everyone looked at Manager Liu.
I saw Manager Liu also looking at the poems with a slightly embarrassed expression.
Everyone knew that although Manager Liu had received help from this lady in making tea, which had spoiled Manager Pang's mood, the tea king tea was the highlight.
Moreover, Liu's Tea House was at odds with the Xiayi Chamber of Commerce, and as a result, it took the poems of someone invited by the Xiayi Chamber of Commerce. It would be embarrassing if this matter got out.
While thinking this, everyone looked towards Su Changan.
It’s a bit difficult to write a better poem than this one.
I’m afraid this lady can’t do it.
Shopkeeper Pang looked at Shopkeeper Liu and said, "Shopkeeper Liu, how is it?"
Shopkeeper Liu smiled and said, "Mr. Liang's poetry is naturally impeccable."
After saying that, he looked towards Su Changan and said, "Madam, this way."
Although Manager Liu didn't finish his words, he was hoping that the lady could perform another miracle.
On the other hand, Shopkeeper Pang said with a smile: "Madam, forget it. Why bother? How about this poem? Everyone has seen it, and I have promised to give you tea."
Su Changan still ignored Manager Pang and turned to look at Li Xizhi.
Li Xizhi sat at the desk at that moment. After all, he couldn't reveal his identity and Su Changan's handwriting was too special, so Li Xizhi wrote for him.
Shopkeeper Pang looked at the tempers of Su Changan's wife and children, and thought to himself, oh my, this little stubborn temper is just the way I like it!
Liang Shilun smiled. He knew that his poem was not a top-notch one, but it was still praised by Mr. Huai, who was ranked first on the poetry list in the past.
win?
Humph!
I may not be as good as you in tea art, but when it comes to poetry, I'm not inferior!
Thinking of this, Liang Shilun looked at Shopkeeper Liu and said, "Shopkeeper Liu, please help me sort the tea."
When Liang Shilun spoke.
Su Changan started to recite: "I wait for the bright moon in the half-walled house, and a cup of tea to reward my soulmate."
Upon hearing this, Li Xizhi hurriedly began to write.
but.
The moment Su Changan's poem appeared, it reached Liang Shilun's ears.
Liang Shilun stopped talking abruptly, and immediately turned to look at Su Changan with a look of horror on his face, and subconsciously said "Huh?"
Mainly.
I was amazed by this poem.
Liang Shilun's words puzzled the shopkeeper Pang, who was illiterate.
But at this time many people reacted.
Even the shopkeeper Liu, who had some knowledge of literature, Zhou Xin'an, and many scholars who were watching nearby, were all stunned and looked at Su Chang'an with wide eyes.
Although there was no "Hmm?", the expression was not much different.
but.
Everyone looked at Su Changan's beautiful face.
The only thing in my mind was the words I just heard: "Waiting for the bright moon in the half-walled mountain house, a cup of tea for a soulmate!"
The bright moon is in my arms, and the clear tea is waiting for my soulmate.
There are no mansions or servants, but with such great feelings, half a bowl of tea is enough!
What a free and unrestrained sentiment!
This sentence.
It is better than Liang Shilun’s entire poem!
Or
Liang Shilun's poem is not worthy of being compared with this lady's words!
Waiting for the bright moon in the half-walled mountain house, and rewarding my soulmate with a cup of tea!
The opening line is a masterpiece that will be remembered for all time!
This lady
Who is this person!
Even Liang Shilun himself was pondering over this sentence carefully in his mind and couldn't help pursing his lips. What? Who are you? It's okay if you can come up with some tea art theatrics, but what's wrong with this poetry?
Su Changan ignored the looks from these people and read out the second line: "Wait until February or March in spring, and light the stone stove to try the new tea."
Li Xizhi wrote quickly.
The second sentence is a little ordinary, but it is also a rare good sentence, mainly because the first sentence is the opening sentence that makes it a masterpiece.
After listening to all the poems and savoring them carefully, Zhou Xin'an looked at Su Chang'an and admired her sincerely, "Madam, it's no wonder that you can create the tea art of painting on water. I can't even compare to you."
So, he immediately bowed to Su Changan.
"I am waiting for the bright moon in the half-walled mountain house, and I am rewarding my soulmate with a cup of tea. How many people in the world can compose such poems and such sentences? Only the one written by the Empress, 'After getting drunk, I don't know that the sky is in the water, and the boat is full of clear dreams under the stars.' Can be compared with one or two. Madam is not only good at tea art, but also has great literary skills that make me, Liu, sincerely convinced!" Shopkeeper Liu also bowed to Su Changan.
Then, Manager Liu picked up the poem in his hand and showed it to the people around him.
Everyone raised their eyes and looked at the poem on the paper, especially the first sentence.
Those who had some knowledge of poetry were also surprised.
What a nice house with half a mountain wall, what a nice cup of tea!
This beautiful woman actually has such a literary and hermit sentiment!
And this wins. No, compared to Liang Shilun’s poems, this poem can be said to be a complete winner!
Shopkeeper Pang didn't understand poetry or literature, after all, he was just a businessman. But looking at the expressions of the people around him, he knew that he had lost to this little girl again.
So he immediately looked at Liang Shilun on the side.
Liang Shilun looked embarrassed at the moment, looking at the poem on the paper. He noticed that Manager Pang was looking at him, so he turned his head to look over and shook his head.
Seeing this, Shopkeeper Pang cursed in his heart, "You are useless. I paid a high price to invite you here, but you lost in tea art and poetry? Go to hell with the twelfth place on the poetry list!"
Liang Shilun could naturally feel that Manager Pang was dissatisfied with him, but he was also puzzled. He just looked at Su Changan and thought that it was impossible for him not to know such a person in Jiangnan.
Shopkeeper Pang frowned. It seemed that not only had he come here in vain today, but he had also lost face?
Thinking of this, Shopkeeper Pang clenched his fists. He thought that he would not be able to report to his elder and second brothers when he returned, so he looked at Su Changan and said, "Madam, may I have something to say to you in private?"
When Su Changan heard this, he didn't even look at Shopkeeper Pang, but looked at Shopkeeper Liu and asked, "Tea from the Tea King?"
Su Changan didn’t think he would lose. After all, although you are powerful, what I have in my mind are the poems and essays of our ancestors from previous lives. How could I lose?
So the question was very direct.
When Manager Liu heard this, he immediately said, "Madam, of course."
After saying that, he motioned to the guy beside him, meaning for him to go and get it quickly.
Su Changan smiled and said, "Thank you."
Manager Liu immediately said, "Madam, you created the tea show and gave me this timeless poem. I should be the one to express my gratitude. Madam, you must not do that."
Su Changan smiled, but didn't say much. He just took the tea and went back to eat.
but.
You have to show off to your wife first.
So I decided to look towards the restaurant.
But this is the turning point.
Shopkeeper Pang, who was ignored, saw that the tea was about to be delivered and became anxious: "Madam, Pang is talking to you! And Pang respects you, but you treat Pang like this. Madam, I'm afraid you don't know who Pang is!"
While speaking, Shopkeeper Pang also took two steps forward and stood in front of Su Changan, staring at Su Changan, and then said: "Madam, please talk to me privately! Madam, you'd better listen to me, otherwise you will be in trouble later!"
Su Changan looked at the shopkeeper Pang in front of him with an impatient look. Although it didn't block him from flirting with his wife, it was still an eyesore!
So he said, "Let me go, you are blocking me."
Upon hearing this, Shopkeeper Pang frowned and said, "Blocked? Pang never lets anyone pass, unless it's you, Madam..."
Bang!!!
Before Shopkeeper Pang could finish his words, Su Changan frowned, picked up the teapot at hand and smashed it directly on Shopkeeper Pang's head.
The teapot is broken.
The right side of Shopkeeper Pang's face was instantly torn apart, covered in blood, and most of his face was swollen.
But is that all?
No!
Just when Shopkeeper Pang was about to fall, Su Changan raised his foot and kicked him out!
Bang!
Shopkeeper Pang was kicked directly to the wall. His face was in a horrible state. He sat there paralyzed, looking dazed, and suddenly blood came out of his mouth.
Then Su Changan stood where he was, casually threw the teapot in his hand aside, reached out to put his hair behind his ears, and looked towards Xia Fengxiang.
Xia Fengxiang looked at Su Changan with a smile and said, "We should have taken action a long time ago. You are the only one who can endure it!"
But he looked at Su Changan and gestured to the people around him.
Seeing this, Su Changan looked around.
When he found that everyone was looking at him, he immediately felt embarrassed. It was not that he had hit anyone. The main reason was that Su Changan had been enduring it because today was a good day for the tea house after all, and it would not be appropriate to cause trouble.
so.
Su Changan looked at everyone looking at him in surprise, pursed his lips, looked at Manager Liu and bowed, saying, "I really can't help it. Please forgive me, Manager."
Shopkeeper Liu opened his lips slightly and looked at Su Changan, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself.
But when he looked at Shopkeeper Pang over there, he took a breath and then looked at Su Changan.
This kick went several meters away
This lady is a man of both civil and military talents?
Shopkeeper Liu was not the only one who thought so.
All the people around only understood how powerful the poem was after some scholars explained it to them. But before they could finish being surprised, they all swallowed their saliva subconsciously when they saw Su Changan suddenly take action.
But seeing Manager Pang like this
Everyone looked at Su Changan. They originally thought she was an extremely elegant lady of literature, but they didn't expect her to have such powerful fighting skills.
And the beating was so brutal.
At this moment, everyone became even quieter.
but.
Some of them stared at Su Changan. Although beating people like this was very brutal, but...
Looking at Su Changan standing there, thinking of the cold look in Su Changan's eyes and the action of gently stroking their hair after the fight, these people pursed their lips inexplicably.
Especially at this moment, in their eyes, the carefree expression on the lady's beautiful face as she smiled helplessly.
So beautiful, so cool, so heroic~~
like
I love you more~~
only
While watching, everyone was worried. After all, the person being beaten was Shopkeeper Pang, and something bad might happen!
Liang Shilun had already run to the side of Shopkeeper Pang by this time. He reached out and felt the shopkeeper Pang's breath. After confirming that he was still alive, he breathed a sigh of relief and then looked at the lady in the teahouse.
A look of disbelief.
Is this guy crazy?
Does she know what she has done?
This man is Pang San, the shopkeeper of Xiayi Chamber of Commerce. If we beat him, something serious will happen!
Many people around had come to their senses at that moment. They looked at Li Xizhi and Su Changan, then at Shopkeeper Pang who was holding his head and wailing over there. They all kept quiet and dared not make a sound.
After the Xiayi Chamber of Commerce came to Chenzhou City, it used thundering means to erode Chenzhou's entire tea business. Everyone knows how much it has done. Especially since the Xiayi Chamber of Commerce is not only in the tea business, it also has connections with the government.
The most important thing is that behind the Xiayi Chamber of Commerce is the Shangjun Chamber of Commerce. The Shangjun Chamber of Commerce has the support of several major families and has powerful means, so it can even have a say in the capital.
If you offend Shopkeeper Pang, it's like offending the Shangjun Chamber of Commerce! It's like offending those big families!
Shopkeeper Liu had also reacted by this time, and he looked at Su Changan and said immediately: "It's okay, Madam, you are joking."
After saying that, he looked at Shopkeeper Pang outside and shouted, "Quick! Send Shopkeeper Pang to the clinic!"
When the tea shop waiters heard this, they all came forward.
In particular, a few people noticed the look in their shopkeeper's eyes and knew that he wanted to take the things away quickly, so they moved quickly and did not dare to drag their feet.
Seeing that his servants were carrying Manager Pang away, Manager Liu quickly looked at Su Changan and made a gesture of invitation, indicating that Su Changan should come inside.
After seeing Su Changan and himself walking deeper into the teahouse, he immediately spoke: "Madam, do you know who you hit? You are in trouble!"
Su Changan smiled when he heard this: "As a man of the underworld, I am used to getting into trouble. I am not afraid. But can you give me the tea, boss? My wife is waiting for me."
When Manager Liu heard this, he was stunned for a moment. A gangster?
After a moment of confusion, he looked up at the woman on the second floor of the restaurant. He had noticed that the lady had been looking over there, and one glance at their eyes showed that they were a couple.
Besides, that person's temperament doesn't seem like that of a gangster.
So Manager Liu believed it, but not completely.
However, Manager Liu knew the rules. If someone didn't want to talk about something, he shouldn't ask about it. So he said, "The tea leaves are naturally Madam's, but Madam, the Xiayi Chamber of Commerce will definitely come to seek revenge. Although my place is not a big place, it can be used as a shelter for Madam for the time being."
After saying that, Shopkeeper Liu immediately added: "I have no bad intentions, so please rest assured, Madam. I just saw your tea art and your poetry, so I want to introduce you to a friend of mine."
Shopkeeper Liu is not afraid of the Xiayi Chamber of Commerce, nor is he afraid of the Shangjun Chamber of Commerce behind the Xiayi Chamber of Commerce.
After all, his backer is named Yang. Although he has fallen on desolate times, the old Taishan is still there and he is still strong enough, otherwise he would have been swallowed up by the Xiayi Chamber of Commerce long ago.
After all, on the surface, everyone thinks that the Xiayi Chamber of Commerce's acquisition of those tea houses was all legitimate means and legitimate transactions, but how it goes on in private, how could they, the real owners, not know?
If they had not quickly united and found someone to follow them, they would have been swallowed up long ago.
There's no need for the Xiayi Chamber of Commerce to play tricks on them; they can just snatch it away directly.
but
He really didn't expect that someone would hit someone directly like this.
Can.
It's a good thing for him that the lady does this.
after all
With such a scene in Chenzhou City today, he organized this event, actually wanting to find an outstanding talent in tea art and tea order.
And it’s just right that such a person has a conflict with the Xiayi Chamber of Commerce at this moment!
Su Changan looked at Shopkeeper Liu and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Shopkeeper Liu. I appreciate it."
While speaking, Su Changan saw that Li Xizhi had taken the tea leaves, so he thanked Manager Liu again and turned around and walked towards the restaurant.
Shopkeeper Liu wanted to catch up unwillingly, but was stopped by Li Xizhi.
Shopkeeper Liu wanted to speak, but when he saw Li Xizhi turn around and leave, he immediately shut up.
but
Shopkeeper Liu watched him walk into the restaurant, but he pursed his lips, asked the steward to continue to take charge of things here, and he turned and left.
When Su Changan walked into the restaurant, many people's eyes were on her.
Reluctant to leave.
Including those gangsters on the second floor.
The big brother among these Jianghu people looked at the place where Manager Pang was kicked and said, "Let's go. Something is going to happen. We can't stay in Chenzhou City anymore."
The five shopkeepers of Xiayi Chamber of Commerce are called shopkeepers, but in fact they are all despicable people who specialize in embezzling private property for Shangjun Chamber of Commerce.
Today this beautiful woman beat up the third brother. Can the Xiayi Chamber of Commerce just let it go?
Moreover, the Chamber of Commerce has spent money to keep many martial arts masters.
This is why this underworld boss is unwilling to work for the Cui family of Chenzhou anymore, because if he continues to do so, he will really sell his life.
Luo Changfeng knew every move of these martial arts people. After smiling, he did not care about it. He just looked at the people below, who stretched their heads to look into the restaurant, and shook their heads in amazement. It was said that they got married too early. This guy can write poetry and make tea, and most importantly, he can beat people. Doesn't he have the ability to seduce people?
Why!!
