Dugu Jingyao is reborn as Li Chu's beloved

On the other side, a few people who did not go shopping came to a quiet teahouse with singing, which felt quite unique.

A few people were taken by a waiter to a private room by the window on the second floor. Not only could they drink tea and listen to music, but they could also see the scenery along the street by opening the window. It was indeed a good location.

Dugu Xin waved his hand and Xun Feng beside him took out some silver coins and handed them to the waiter. The waiter took the reward with a smile and thanked him profusely.

Then he added: "Dear guests, we have the best Dahongpao, Pu'er, and..."

He lowered his voice and said, "The snow-capped peaks are covered with green."

Li Neng was startled at first, then said, "Isn't this the tea that is usually offered as tribute to the palace?"

The waiter then flattered him, saying, "This young master is indeed well-informed and knowledgeable, exactly!"

Dugu Xin was also puzzled and asked before Li Neng could reply, "Oh? If this is tea tribute to the palace, how did you get it?"

The waiter said proudly, "I can tell from your accent that this guest is from another place, right?"

Dugu Xin didn't hide it. If a waiter in a store like this didn't have some skills, he wouldn't be able to stay. So he said, "Really? Please teach me, little brother!"

The waiter lowered his voice again and said, "Our boss certainly has acquaintances, but we won't easily reveal this tea to others. I can see that you are experienced people, so I thought of bringing out our best tea from the bottom of the box for you to taste."

Seeing that Dugu Xin had a plan, the other children stopped interrupting. Dugu Xin and Chu Xiaoyi exchanged glances, and then he lowered his voice and said, "Then let's take a look at this tribute tea! I wonder how much silver is it?"

The waiter gestured with his hands and made a number 2, and Dugu Xin said, "Twenty taels for one tael?"

The waiter shook his head and said, "No, since it is a tribute, it is naturally worth a fortune."

Dugu Xin pretended to be surprised and asked, "Does it cost two thousand taels?" He almost slammed the table and stood up.

The waiter comforted Dugu Xin: "Don't worry, sir. We can't rob you of your money, right? But we can't make it too cheap either, so we'll set the price at two hundred taels per tael, and we'll also give you a solo performance by a master musician we've invited!"

Dugu Xin finally calmed down a little: "Oh? In that case, then okay, let's have a few to try!" Then he took out two hundred taels of silver notes.

The waiter took the banknote and said with a smile, "Okay, gentlemen, please come and have a meal!" Then he left the private room.

Chu Xiaoyi asked, "Nian'er, do you know who is responsible for purchasing tea in the palace?"

Li Neng shook his head and said, "I don't know the details, but I do know that the power of the palace is now in the hands of Yang Guifei. If the tribute tea is short of weight, she must be unaware of it, right?"

There is no way now. Everyone can only wait for the tea to be served and have people like Li Neng or Li Chu, who live in the palace, taste it to know whether it is real or not.

Elsewhere, several people strolled around the clothing store, each buying a few pieces of clothing, including Li Ruo. They then packed their items and had their attendants take them back to the post station. Seeing that it was almost time, Li Chu had no choice but to interrupt the beautiful women's leisure.

Li Chu said, "Aunt, sisters, it's almost time for lunch. Shall we go look for my uncle and his family?"

Wei Jiayan glanced at the clepsydra on the table in the clothing store and said, "It's getting late, so let's go look for them!"

With that, they set off for the teahouse where Dugu Xin and the others were. Because Zhennan Hou had sent someone to deliver a letter before, they knew where Zhennan Hou and the others were.

The so-called tribute tea in the teahouse also came up, and the waiter served the tea respectfully. Not only that, a masked woman followed behind, holding a pipa.

The waiter said respectfully, "Dear guests, this is the tea you ordered." He pointed at the woman and said, "This is the pipa master Qin Sanniang we invited. Ladies and gentlemen, please feel free to order any music you want to hear!" After saying that, he left.

The woman named Qin Sanniang bowed and asked, "Greetings to all the guests. Do you have any favorite songs?"

Dugu Xin said, "I'm a rough man, why don't you just play what you're good at?"

Qin Sanniang nodded slightly, then sat on a chair and began to play.

Several people were skeptical. They poured tea one by one, but did not drink it. Dugu Xin signaled with his eyes and let Li Neng smell the tea first.

Li Neng sniffed the tea based on his memory, took a sip, and shook his head. After all, even though he lived in the palace, he wasn't very proficient in tea tasting.

So they had no choice but to wait for Li Chu to come and identify the authenticity of the tea.
