Chapter 249
Jiang Qixi himself was born as a number one scholar, a great Confucianist in the world, the Jiang family has been scholarly for generations, and his family is noble.For the descendants, as the head of the family, Jiang Qixi's first choice is to study and pursue an official career.

Ning Yuezhao said: "But the last time I was in Jiang's Mansion, Jiang Ye seemed to have restrained himself a lot. Why did he forget to eat and not to fight so quickly?"

At this time, Jing Ming came up with the tea set and other things, put them on the round table and retreated.

On the small red clay stove, Jiang Nian put the soup pot filled with mountain spring water on it, took the tea cake and ground the tea while saying: "I immediately sent someone to the academy to check, and found that he hasn't gone to class for a few days , the head of the mountain was planning to notify his father. I had someone stop the head of the mountain first, and when I returned to Jiang's mansion at the end of the month, I had a talk with him."

At that time Ning Yuezhao was busy with the palace examination, and she didn't go with Jiang Nian when he returned to the mansion, and only now did he know that there was such a change.

Jiang Nian moved the ground tea powder into the Luo sieve, covered the sieve, and said, "Brother Ye said frankly that he is not suitable for studying, and a few friends discussed it and wanted to start a business."

Ning Yuezhao raised her eyebrows and looked at him, "I can't see that you two brothers are thinking of going together."

At the beginning of the new year, the imperial court lowered the tax burden of merchants. Even though it was only a little bit, it was exciting enough. What's more, Ning Yuezhao generously allocated military expenses to Xiao Jingtian. It was rumored among the people that it was because the imperial husband was good at business and enriched his life. His Majesty's private treasury.This made those who were already ready to make a move think of taking a gamble.

Jiang Ye was originally a well-known playboy in the imperial capital, so it's not surprising that he would have this idea of ​​following the crowd.

After the tea powder was collected, the water in the soup pot began to boil, and Jiang Nian began to burn the cups.Accompanied by the soft sound of boiling spring water, his voice became clearer and clearer, "I checked his homework, and it's not as bad as he thought, but I obviously feel that his heart is not to study and become an official, so I gave birth to help him." A handful of ideas."

Ning Yuezhao watched him concentrate, and said, "So you thought of renovating the old study and making a living for Jiang Ye? Aren't you afraid that people will say that your brother-in-law is maliciously trying to harm your brother-in-law?"

Scholars, farmers, businessmen, and the concepts that have been passed down for thousands of years cannot be changed overnight.

Jiang Nian smiled and asked, "Do I need to do such a thing?"

Indeed, Jiang Nian's current status is below one person and above ten thousand. It would be ridiculous to pour such dirty water on him.

Jiang Nian poured the powdered tea into a cup and made it into a tea paste. He held a silver teaspoon in one hand and took off the soup pot with the other. Holding the handle of the pot firmly with his white and slender hand, he poured soup into the teacup, and the teaspoon stirred the tea paste. After boiling, after a while, white milk flowers floated on the surface of the cup, like sparse stars and bright moon, shining brightly.

His series of movements are done in one go, elegant and natural.

Pointing the wrist, the teaspoon hits the center of the tea soup, the soup is poured less and less, there is a rushing wave in the cup, the wrist stops, but the soup flowers appear like mountains and rivers, the foam sinks and floats, and the weather is again. One change, such as a bright sunny day with floating clouds, the clouds are steaming, and it turns into four words - Jiangshan Wanli!
Ning Yuezhao opened her eyes wide, and covered her red lips in disbelief.

Not long after, the four words gradually dissipated, leaving only white soup flowers in the cup.

Jiang Nian handed the cup to her, and Ning Yuezhao took the tea cup. The breeze blowing from the surface of the water blew away the soup flowers, revealing the pure white tea soup, which was full of fragrance.

She glanced at Jiang Nian meaningfully, "In the past, I only knew that the imperial husband was good at making Danqing, but I didn't expect this water Danqing to be so good."

Fencha is also known as Shui Danqing because the water veins in the noodles soup will change into various patterns, such as painting Danqing on the water.

Jiang Nian didn't answer, but poured the soup into the boil again, and ordered a cup of tea for himself, "Actually, the person who came up with this idea of ​​making a living was not me, but Brother Ye himself."

When Jiang Nian said this, Ning Yuezhao was a little surprised, but after thinking about it, Jiang Ye was originally a wealthy son. Although she was punished by her later, he was someone who had been in the world of flowers. He knew those people best. thoughts.

The imperial capital is neither big nor small, and ordinary people are busy making a living all day long, and the group of people who spend money like water to enjoy themselves is actually relatively fixed.

They have already tasted the prosperity at the feet of the emperor, and Jiang Ye knows that these rich and noble people who like to be arty are actually playing a novelty in many cases.

Just like Tingfeng Tea House relies on unique stories involving the secrets of the palace to attract audiences, and Zuijinzhao is good at integrating the essence of various cuisines from all over the world.

Ning Yue Zhaofu glanced at the distant mountains again, and said with some regret: "Is Jiang Ye's idea to open an inn in this deep mountain and old forest? I think he will close down soon."

Holding the teacup in his hand, Jiang Nian said quietly, "That's impossible. I lent him all the money he did business with. If he loses money, the lady will lose it too."

"Well, cough, cough..." Ning Yuezhao happened to hold up a cup of tea, and when she heard what Jiang Nian said, she suddenly choked, coughing so loudly.

Jiang Nian hurriedly put down his teacup and patted her on the back.

Ning Yuezhao breathed a sigh of relief, frowned slightly and said, "It's just repairing your old library, it won't cost much money, right?"

The national treasury has been tight year after year, and there are too many places to spend money. Our Majesty has to count carefully.

Jiang Nian sighed softly, "You also know that my father is afraid that brother Ye will learn badly, so now he has no other income except the fixed monthly money."

Seeing his appearance, Ning Yuezhao's heart sank. She didn't want Jiang Nian to think she was narrow-minded, but she couldn't help asking, "How much did you borrow from him?"

"3 million taels."

Ning Yuezhao's eyelids twitched, and she was silent for a while before saying, "Fortunately..."

Before Xiao Jingtian asked for military expenses, Jiang Nian paid tens of millions of taels of silver, but now this is a drop in the bucket... But I don't know why, His Majesty, who is now practicing strict thrift, feels very heavy in his heart.

Because she was obsessed with sadness, she didn't notice the playful smile on Jiang Nian's mouth.

Ning Yuezhao tried her best not to be so depressed, "We have been out for a long time, I don't want to go back to the palace when it gets dark and walk the mountain road."

The mood is too heavy, and even the beautiful scenery is a bit eclipsed.

Jiang Nian said: "No hurry, let's go after dinner."

At this time, footsteps came from the stairs, and Zhu Yun and Lan Sha, who followed them out of the palace, lit up the lights in the house.

Jiang Ye also came up, and he said to the two of them, "Second brother, second sister-in-law... dinner is ready!"

For some reason, Ning Yuezhao always felt that the second half of his sentence was a little joyful, and when she looked at Jiang Nian again, she suddenly understood a little bit.

Jiang Nian took great pains to bring her here, there must be something to show her.

 I don't have the energy to write more today, so let's do this first, and write more on weekends.
