Chapter 1162
1162 Chapter 1162-the fish took the bait
The Gu family still didn’t have many maidservants, and the people who did things were still the same as before. It was only after Cai Xiaolian gave birth and the Yang family brought the child over that they hired four more maidservants to take care of the child.
It was Chun Yan who came in. She had already received instructions and came in with the tray on time.
“Chunyan, quickly serve brother Gu tea!” brother Gu, try some of the tea leaves that we grew at home. I had someone bring them from my hometown earlier this year. Gu Nian sounded a little impatient. Some said it was good, some said it wasn’t. I’ll have to trouble brother Gu, the young master of the tea business, to come and judge!”
Gu chengyun didn’t think so, but his brothers had specifically asked him to comment on them, so he would be sorry if he didn’t drink.
Gu chengyun took a sip symbolically.
This tea was amazing. It was not inferior to the tea at their house!
The tea that his family provided to the palace could not compare to this. This tea could be said to be the best he had ever drunk in his life.
“How is it?” Gu Nian asked expectantly after he had finished his tea.
“Ahem.” Gu chengyun restrained his expression and then said calmly, ” it’s alright! The taste was barely edible. My dear brothers, I remember that your hometown is a small village under the Qing Prefecture. Did you grow a lot of this tea tree?”
The Three Sisters of the Gu family admired Gu shouxin from the bottom of their hearts. Whether it was Gu chengyun’s expression and tone in the conversation just now, or what he said after drinking tea, it was all within Gu shouxin’s guess. As long as they said Gu shouxin’s religious words, they were free to say anything else, and it was all correct.
by the way, our house is planted with cicadas, ” Gu Xin was in a hurry to say but was interrupted by Gu Nian.
“Third brother!” brother Gu, we only have a few trees, ” Gu Nian chided Gu chengyun. my grandparents only drink some, my uncle and fourth uncle drink some when they’re tired from work, and my father drinks some when he’s tired from studying. Does brother Gu feel that our tea is good?”
“Brother Gu, you think our tea leaves are good?” Gu Nian asked in disbelief. Does that mean that our family can continue to grow these tea leaves?”
Gu chengyun quickly waved his hand,”brother, you misunderstand!” I only think that the tea leaves are good. If you really want your family to drink good tea, we can provide it. Although we are all surnamed Gu, but business is business. We can’t let Lord Gu ruin his reputation. How about we make an exchange?”
The three Gu sisters were shocked again. Their father (second uncle) had even guessed this! This Gu chengyun really did not know shame!
Gu Xin and Gu Nian were cursing Gu chengyun in their hearts. They knew that their father had planted the tea leaves in their house when he was planting fruit trees. He often asked people to water them with Jade Pearl water. Although the concentration of water was not high, the tea leaves that were stir-fried were not inferior to ordinary tea leaves that were soaked in Jade Pearl water.
This Gu chengyun knew that the tea was good, but he lied to them that the tea was ordinary and wanted to exchange it with them?
Hehe, you’re dreaming!
Fortunately, the fish had taken the bait.
“How about an exchange?” the three Gu sisters asked in unison.
Gu chengyun chuckled and said, ” in the future, our family will provide you with the best tea in our house. If someone brings this up in the future, they will say that you planted the tea trees yourself. However, the premise is that you have to sell the place where you grow the tea trees to our family. This way, it would be easier to convince others. My brothers, what do you think of this foolish brother’s idea? Hahahaha, actually, it’s not this foolish brother who thought of this idea. Our Fuzhou Gu family has planted tea trees for many officials in the court. For example, the minister of rites and the Minister of Works.”
