Chapter 169: Bloody
The large round table in the tea room was filled with all kinds of snacks, as well as tea brewed with this year's newest tea leaves.
The Su Ji tea brewing method comes from Su Ruojin, which uses boiled water to brew tea, which is divided into the first and second steps. However, at this time in the Dayin Dynasty, tea was not brewed, but boiled with ground tea powder and seasonings (salt, ginger, etc.).
Regarding adding seasonings, you may be surprised. How can salt and ginger be added to tea? However, tea before the Tang and Song dynasties was indeed cooked with other foods, and adding seasonings was also quite common. In addition, the tea used to make tea was tea powder ground from finished tea cakes, not the tea leaves we are familiar with.
Su Ruojin was not used to putting salt, ginger and other seasonings in tea, so she just bought tea leaves and brewed them herself. The tea was light and fragrant, and she could brew it at will. It was simple, but also very memorable when she drank it. Under her influence, Su Yanli also liked this simple way of drinking tea.
Neither Princess Yuehua nor Su Yanzu, who was known as a gourmet, noticed that Su’s tea was different from what they usually saw.
They were in the same room, with Princess Yuehua sitting in the main seat, looking graceful and solemn. Her judgmental gaze fell on Su and Shangguan who were standing shoulder to shoulder, with a chilling chill.
In May last year, Su Shaobai was looking for a house outside to bring Shangguan Yu to the capital. The housekeeper under Princess Yuehua deliberately gave a suitable house to a renter and asked him to rent it to Su Yanzu. As a result, something went wrong in that link, and until Su Yanzu returned home, he did not rent a house in the capital.
After the autumn examination, Su Yanzu failed again and brought his close friend with him when he went to Beijing. At that time, no one thought that the person he brought was the one he liked. They all thought he brought a friend and did not take it seriously.
After arriving in Beijing, this friend had been living in an inn. Princess Yuehua and her subordinates thought that he came to Beijing to accompany Su Yanzu, who had failed the imperial examination. In order to win Su Yanzu's heart, Princess Yuehua "saved the country in a roundabout way". She found out that Shangguan Yu had asthma, and specially asked the best physician in the Imperial Hospital to prescribe Gongting Lengxiang Pills for him. Shangguan Yu, who was about to die from coughing when he came to Beijing, felt better day by day after taking the special pills given by the princess.
Su Yanzu thanked Princess Yuehua, and at an appropriate opportunity he said that Shangguan Yu was still his soul mate and thanked the princess for saving his life.
"The reason you didn't pass the exam and brought him to Kyoto was because of his illness?"
Su Yanzu did not deny it.
Princess Yuehua was so angry that she almost had asthma. Su Yanzu was just about to find someone to use the imperial physician's method to treat his beloved, but she actually sent the imperial physician to him, and he even cured his love rival?
She had made a fool of herself. Because of this, she had to beat and sell off several maids and women. But…but…she still lost to a man…a man…
Although she knew it was ridiculous, Princess Yuehua just wouldn't give in. She was a princess of the Dayin Dynasty, and she had to get this man, including his heart. So she couldn't help but leave the princess's mansion and come to see in person what kind of man could snatch her man away.
At first sight, he was indeed quite handsome, but what did it matter? She stared at the man named Shangguan, and his identity alone was enough to make him disappear in seconds.
Su Yanzu knew that he had made it very clear. He felt that a princess of a country would not possibly bother with an ordinary son of a country squire. However, he did not expect that the princess would still come.
Shaobai had already told him about the misunderstanding between him and the princess, but the love between him and Shaobai was unacceptable to the world, and everyone who knew about it would despise them. They lived in a corner without seeing the sun, and seeing the princess of noble status, Shangguan Yu felt so inferior. If it weren't for him, Shaobai might have already been a successful candidate in the imperial examinations and had a bright future.
Su Ruojin quietly approached the second private room, put her ear against the wall, and listened to the noises inside, but apart from the sounds coming from the first room, the second room was unsettlingly quiet.
Should we go in and see what's going on? Su Ruojin was thinking about how to get in when suddenly someone tapped her shoulder. She was so scared that her heart almost jumped out of her chest. She turned around and saw that it was the young prince.
He looked at me, what are you looking at?
She asked what was going on inside?
Zhao Lan sneered and whispered, "Su Dekai threatened his son that if he didn't take over the business, he would return to Pingjiang Prefecture and never see Shangguanyu again."
"They are originally from Pingjiang Prefecture."
"Su Dekai even used his own life to force Su Yanzu to marry a concubine to continue the family line."
(⊙o⊙)Does it have to be so bloody?
My dears, in Chapter 168, which is the previous chapter, there was a plot that I remembered wrongly. Su Ruojin knew that the princess had confessed her love to Su Yanzu, so Su Ruojin should know what their relationship was and why they came.
Binghe wrote something wrong, so I have made some changes to the previous chapter. Friends who have subscribed can go back and take a look.
Binghe is deeply sorry for affecting your reading experience. Thank you for your continued support. Muah, I love you!
