Chapter 23 Jingchen’s heartbeat
Gong Jingchen vaguely remembered that he had a happy time when he was thirteen years old.

At that time, two kings seized the throne and the court was in turmoil. The late emperor passed away and his brother Nan Wang wanted to seize the throne. The Crown Prince Liang Wang gathered a crowd to put down the rebellion. His parents escorted Liang Wang back to the capital to succeed him.

King Liang successfully ascended the throne. His father served the king well and was granted the title of Prime Minister.

Just when everyone thought that his parents would stay in the capital, his parents politely refused to stay in the capital and were willing to guard the city gate for the emperor. Before setting off, they hoped to take some time off to spend some time with their children.

Going on a spring outing to Qingxi County with his parents was the happiest time in his life.

"Tuk Tuk Tuk!"

"Chen'er, are you awake? Mom took you out to play!"

There was a knock on the door outside. Gong Jingchen woke up and looked for her shoes.

Remembering that he was now the age where he was arrogant and rebellious, he slowed down his movements so that his parents could not see his happiness.
"Chen'er, your father and I have promised you that we will stay with you for a while in Yuanli this time!"

"No matter how busy I am with my business at the moment, it's not as important as you!"

The palace father and palace mother were waiting for their son outside. When he saw his son coming out, the palace father wanted to go up and hug his son and touch his head, but his son ducked away.

The palace father was not angry either, he laughed and said, "Tell me, little ancestor, what do you want to do today?"

Gong Jingchen looked around and found no sign of her cousin. They had made an appointment last night to go hunting in the mountains today!
"Master, Master He An has gone to Rizhao Tea Mountain"

"You told us not to disturb you while you rest, but Nanfeng didn't dare to say that."

"What does it matter to me where he goes?"

Gong Jingchen thought of the little girl she met in Rizhao Tea Mountain, turned around and closed the door.

Even if Gong Hean is not here, it will not stop him from competing with his father on horseback riding skills.

My father said that when he becomes proficient in riding, hunting and swordsmanship, he can go to the city guard gate to look for them!
"Father, mother, take Jingchen to hunt in the mountains!"

The palace father and palace mother smiled at each other. The vacation was not long, but they would try their best to fulfill all their son's wishes.

Gong Jingchen rode a horse all day the day before and was sore all over. The next day he slept until the third day of the sun and was woken up once. It was Gong Hean who came in to rummage through his suitcase.

He was in a deep sleep at that time, and he agreed to whatever Gong Hean asked for. When he woke up and went to the south to wash himself, he found that his suitcase had been rummaged all over the floor.

He smiled helplessly and cleaned up the mess left by his cousin, but found that the long thing on his body was missing. He called Nanfeng to ask.

"Where's Gong Hean?"

Nanfeng entered the room and found that the young master looked bad and did not dare to speak for a while.

Gong Jingchen's longest-lasting possession was the white jade flute given by his wife, but at this moment, Master He An was asked to take it out to coax the girl!

"Master He An has gone to Rizhao Tea Mountain"

"Oh!"

It was the sound of Gong Jingchen putting down the lid of the box.

"Going to find that tea girl again?"

"Yes"

Nanfeng nodded.

The most beautiful girl on the tea mountain is the Jiang girl. According to Master He An's urine, can he still find other girls?
"Well, Gong He'an, take my flowers and offer them to your Buddha, right?"

"Master, do you want me to go find Master He An?"

"No, today's schedule is as usual. I want to go to the lake with my parents for a picnic."

Until night, Gong Jingchen didn't see her cousin come back, so she could only go to bed and prepare to corner him for an explanation the next day.

Early in the morning, when Gong Jingchen heard the noise, he jumped up from the bed, took a few steps forward, choked Gong Hean, brought him to the ground and crushed him to death.

Gong He'an was thin and younger than Gong Jingchen, so he was pressed to the ground and unable to move within a few moments.

"Cousin! It's me! I'm He An! Say goodbye."

Gong Hean thought that Gong Jingchen treated him as a thief, so he quickly begged for mercy.

"You little thief, what else do you want to take from me?"

"I, I'm here to return the jade flute! I'm not stealing it, I'm stealing it!"

"Cousin, please show mercy!"

Gong Jingchen saw her cousin take out his flute from his sleeve, and let him go after making sure it was intact and not touched.

"Cousin, besides returning the jade flute, I'm here to ask my cousin if he wants to play with me?"

"Isn't it enough for you to have that tea girl? You can also think of me, my cousin?" "How do you know?"

Gong He'an blushed. He usually stayed in Shangshu Mansion every day. Now that he had the opportunity to go out to play, of course he didn't want to be controlled by his uncle and aunt. He could play how he wanted.

In the past few days, he had indeed been playing with Jiang Wanhe every day.

It's so fun to have a local person as your guide!

But my uncle can tell you this morning. The Holy Spirit will host a banquet to reward everyone. The whole world will celebrate for three days, and they will leave for Beijing tomorrow.

So there isn't enough time left for him to play!

"Is there anything wrong with Jiang Wanhe?"

"Although I was born with a silver spoon in my mouth, I don't have any airs in my body. Everyone respects me. I am more respectful than a young master. She is the only one who dares to call me by my name."

"Have you taken a fancy to her?"

Gong Jingchen took the wet cotton cloth and carefully wiped the grease on the jade flute.

"Who said that, my heart only belongs to Shen Weiyue. This time when I go out, I will ask Jiang Wanhe to buy a lot of rare things and send them all to Shen's house when I get back!"

Gong Jingchen put away the jade flute and didn't want to listen anymore. She straightened her clothes and walked out.

"Cousin? Where are you going?"

"I'm going to pay my respects to my parents. I agreed to go have tea and watch a theater with them today."

"Is this a coincidence? I want to go to the tea shop too!"

"Cousin, why don't you and your little brother go to the stage to pretend to be ghosts?"

"You can go alone, you don't have to act like a ghost!"

茶肆
The tea shops in Qingxi Town are completely different from those in the capital.

Here you can drink tea and eat melon seeds at the same time, without many restrictions.

If the performance is good on stage, and when the audience is excited, they can also serve braised food with a few pots of wine.

The Gong family traveled anonymously. Except for Mr. Jiang who knew their true identities, everyone else thought they were wealthy businessmen from Yuanli.

Therefore, the villagers in the town treated them with respect throughout the whole process. The gangsters wanted to exchange them for rewards, and the big farmers thought they could negotiate a big business with them.

What is being performed on the stage is the characteristic of their small town, the "tea girl show."

The story is about the heroine running a tea business without the support of her relatives, friends, and husband, which caused everyone to betray her relatives and alienate her. Even so, the heroine still insisted on her idea, carried her burden alone, held a long sword, cut down roadblocks, cursed demons and ghosts, and was invincible along the way, spreading the word everywhere. Tea culture brings tea to every corner of Yuanli, so that everyone can enjoy the taste of tea.

As for the monsters inside, they are usually played by those who perform well in town, and this should be the ghost costume that Miyaga An mentioned.

The heroine on the stage has a jade face and red lips, wearing a heavy costume, holding a half-meter wooden sword, pointing at a bat demon with a black and green face.

"You black-faced bat, you dare to block my journey, don't you want to live?"

"Haha! Still a miss? You are a stinky woman at best!"

"You don't rush when the Japanese demon is sleeping, but you wait for the demon to wait for the night. Do you know that you are affecting my work?"

"Stinky bat monster! There are so many people who don't sleep at night, but you are the most talkative in this area. Shut up, Miss!"

After the three people met on the stage, it was impossible to tell the winner. At this moment, an owl dressed in black face and white eyes flew down from the beam, and each of them was slapped.

"Bang bang bang bang bang!"

The audience burst into laughter, "Hahaha!"

The heroine and the bat demon looked at each other in a battle-ready posture, and both stared at the owl that was halfway out.

Owl yawned and put his hands on his hips.

"If you want to make a quarrel, go ahead! I wonder whose territory this is?"

"I don't know, the more you make noise, the more sleepy I get!"

The owl kept complaining, but the funny thing was that the owl still held the set album and said two lines while reading it.

At this time, the heroine took out a can of tea from her pocket and looked at the audience, "Can't sleep? Then drink tea! I have a refreshing tea here, drink it and keep it if you want to sleep but can't sleep."

"Pfft."

Nanfeng and Minglang couldn't help laughing, and then even the Gong family's parents couldn't stop laughing.

Gong Jingchen looked at the heroine who was busy selling tea regardless of the occasion, and raised the corners of her mouth slightly.
