Chapter 177: 32 Silver? Black Shop!
Li Jixin was enthusiastically pouring tea for Prince Qing and Li Jiren. He had heard that this cocoa tea was very fragrant, but he had never tasted it yet.
But when he heard Wei Qing say that this pot of tea would cost three taels of silver, his hands trembled: "What? Three taels of silver? A shady shop!"
Li Jiren also frowned, but since he was a few years older, he was able to remain calm. He took a bite and whispered, "It tastes good."
Someone in the crowd nodded in agreement. Three taels of silver for a pot of tea is really damn expensive.
Some people also found it very funny. After all, he was the son of a prince. If he thought tea costing three taels of silver was too expensive, then wouldn't he be heartbroken to death when a pot of top-quality Biluochun cost over a hundred taels?
The ladies upstairs saw that Li Jixin's handsome face was full of heartache, and they felt distressed too. If they were not afraid of causing trouble for their family, they really wanted to give Li Jixin ten or eight pots of wine.
Lu Youtian, who was going downstairs to inquire about the situation, heard everyone talking and learned that Mingxianglou had been rated as a black shop. He smiled embarrassedly and said, "I'm sorry to have embarrassed you all."
Everyone just looked at her teasingly and didn't make fun of him.
Since Mingxianglou was originally located in the south of the city, it has been operating as an affordable teahouse, and the prices at this store in Los Angeles Center are not high either.
The same pot of tea is 20% cheaper than what was sold in Ji Dong’s teahouse, so it is not really a shady shop.
But what is the situation in Prince Lin’s Mansion? Why do they think even tea worth three taels of silver is expensive?
Just as Li Jixin and others were leisurely drinking tea and chatting, the Minister of Rites Yang Ziliang arrived.
As expected, Emperor Zhaowen was furious again. After his rage, he ordered him to announce the start of the competition, but he also asked him to tell everyone that whoever defeated Li Jixin would not only be immediately promoted to the rank of Palace Attendant, but also be rewarded with 10,000 taels of silver.
He first saluted Prince Qing and Li Jiren, and then announced the emperor's new order to everyone.
But when he finished speaking, although some people in the crowd were eager to try, there was more discussion, and one could even hear some people whispering and cursing the court.
Yang Ziliang subconsciously felt that something was going on. He asked the two officials from the Ministry of Rites and found out that Li Jixin, the legitimate son of a prince, had just cursed someone in a black shop for three taels of silver.
Yang Ziliang felt a lump in his throat. He looked at Li Jixin, then at Li Jiren's face which was very similar to that of Prince Lin. His eyes turned red and he cursed in his heart.
The ring match began, and a nimble man jumped onto the ring. He was agile and had a sharp eye. He looked like a kung fu master, and the crowd cheered.
Wei Qing glanced at him and said, "You're like this, and you still want to fight with our Second Young Master? Come here, let Grandpa play with you."
Li Jixin stopped Wei Qing and said, "If I don't show my skills to open the eyes of these ignorant people, no one will dare to challenge me."
Then he turned around and said to the newcomer nonchalantly, "I'll give you three moves."
The man was not polite either and attacked Li Jixin quickly, first using the Black Tiger Heart-Ripping Technique, then the Hunyuan Fist, and finally the Whirlwind Kick. However, no matter how fast he was, he could not touch a single piece of Li Jixin's clothes.
After three moves, Li Jixin just kicked the man off the stage with a light side kick.
There were exclamations from the crowd, and those who had originally held out hope gave up.
Li Jixin asked, "Is there anyone else coming up?"
After waiting for a while and seeing that there was no one around, he turned around and sat down again.
Lu Liang, Liu Yang, Han Dongchen and others who were in charge of the security of Mingxianglou and Meishifang looked at the arena from afar and felt a chill in their hearts.
They all thought they were good at fighting, but this young man was so young and yet so much stronger than them.
Lu Liang thought of Lu Changping. He had only known Lu Changping for a year, and at that time he knew that Lu Changping's kung fu was much better than his.
Now a year has passed, and Lu Changping's kung fu has improved rapidly. He can no longer see through Lu Changping.
I don’t know which of the two young men of similar age, Lu Changping or Li Jixin, is stronger.
Lu Changping, who was thought of by Lu Liang, was staring at the ring, eager to try, but when he saw Lu Fugui's distracted expression, he restrained himself.
Lu Changan stared blankly at Li Jiren and Li Jixin, and sighed: "Huaijin, I finally met someone who is more handsome than you."
Because Lu Fugui was here, Han Xigu, Mu Chengkang and Yan Xuewen didn't dare to act rashly, but when they heard Lu Changan's words, they squeezed over to look without quite believing it.
Han Xigu and Yan Xuewen nodded: "Huai Jin is still too young. When he grows up, he will definitely be as beautiful as this."
Han Huaijin smiled and said, "I'm plain-looking to begin with, and I won't be as good-looking as them even when I grow up."
Yan Xuewen was unhappy: "If you were plain-looking, wouldn't we be disgusting?"
Han Xigu and Lu Changan also nodded in agreement.
Mu Chengkang leaned out and looked outside, only to feel his heart tremble and inexplicably panicked. He thought that he had probably never seen such a god-like man before.
Although my parents and my younger brothers and sisters are all very good-looking, their temperament and demeanor are not as good as the two below.
Another burly man came up to the stage, but was knocked down by Wei Qing with three moves. For a while, no one dared to come up to the stage anymore.
Li Jixin finished his cocoa tea and felt a little bored, so he wanted to tease Yang Ziliang.
"Sir Yang, the tea prepared by your Ministry of Rites is too low quality. It's not even as good as the tea from Mingxiang Tower."
Yang Ziliang choked. What they prepared was the best Longjing tea.
But then he thought again, this boy has loved sweets since he was young, so Yang Ziliang felt soft-hearted and asked someone to go to the food court and pack up several portions of everything.
Li Jixin saw the table full of cakes and the sweet-smelling tea in bamboo tubes, and gave Yang Ziliang a bright smile.
Yang Zhiliang's heart softened again and he quickly turned around.
Prince Qing originally wanted to try whether there was poison, but then he thought about it and decided that even if that bastard Li Zhaocai had ten times the courage, he would not dare to poison them openly.
Wei Qing insisted on trying a little bit of everything and found them quite delicious.
Li Jixin didn't care anymore and drank the milk tea first. His eyes instantly curved with satisfaction.
Lu Yanyan knew that Li Jixin was a ruthless character, but when she saw him looking so childish, she couldn't help laughing.
Han Qingyun was in a state of confusion at this moment. Everyone outside was only paying attention to the arena, and no one noticed that a large bird had flown into their private room and was now staring at Han Qingyun.
Except for Liu Minghe, no one else had ever seen such a big bird and they were so scared that they hid behind him.
"Han Tongnian, is this the bird you raised? What kind of bird is it? An eagle?"
"The Saker Falcon is a type of eagle, right? It should be raised by the second son of Prince Lin. A few days ago, Mr. Liu and I saw this Saker Falcon circling above him."
"Ah?" Several newly-minted scholars stepped back again. Seeing that the Saker Falcon had no ill will towards them, they felt slightly relieved.
The Saker Falcon opened its round eyes as big as mung beans and looked at Han Qingyun, then looked at the table. Seeing that Han Qingyun didn't understand what it meant, it pointed at the table with its mouth.
Liu Minghe touched the Saker Falcon's head and said, "It seems like it wants to eat something."
Han Qingyun: Ah?
This Saker Falcon does look like it wants to eat the pastries on the table, but aren't they carnivores?
Han Qingyun broke the cake into pieces and tentatively placed them near the Saker Falcon's mouth. The Saker Falcon quickly pecked at the cake and ate it, then knocked on the table.
Han Qingyun looked at its round eyes, then looked at Li Jixin downstairs with his eyes curved, and just felt funny. It's true that people raise birds like they do.
