Chapter 1 Anger 1
"Ouch! Help—"
On an ordinary day, in an ordinary suburb, a tragic cry shook the sky.
After a dizzying spin, Lu Jiayi fell heavily to the ground. She immediately felt a burning pain and for a moment she thought her butt was broken.
However, she shouted for a long time but didn't hear any human voice around her.
Lu Jiayi touched her butt and opened her eyes, only to see the beautiful scenery with clear water and gentle breeze. The scenery was quite nice, but the question was... where was this?
She limped to her feet, took two steps, made sure she was fine, and then began to curse angrily. After she had cursed for a few words, Lu Jiayi seemed to remember something and quickly took out the three-legged golden toad from her body.
"Hey, bastard Lu Yu, where did you take me?" Without saying a word, she yelled at Jin Chan.
"Gurgle gurgle..." Suddenly, the sound of wheel wheels rolling over the ground came from the distance.
Lu Jiayi was startled and quickly hid the three-legged golden toad, and poked her head towards the source of the sound.
On the quiet mountain road, a blue cloth carriage slowly drove towards Lu Jiayi. Lu Jiayi waved desperately at the other party as if she had seen a savior.
The carriage gradually approached, and the driver stared at Lu Jiayi, who was wearing strange clothes, as if he had seen a ghost .
"Stop the car." A gentle male voice came from the carriage. The person in the carriage lifted the curtain and looked at Lu Jiayi for a while.
Although he was still young, he had a pair of bright eyes and a youthful spirit between his brows. Lu Jiayi stared at him blankly, staring at him.
"Human? Monster?" the man asked calmly. Seeing that Lu Jiayi didn't answer, he concluded, "Mute."
Lu Jiayi reacted and shouted angrily: "You are the mute! Do your family members know that you are so rude?"
The man was startled and said with a smile: "So you can talk. Just now I seemed to hear someone nearby shouting for help, was it you? Looking closely, it turned out to be a delicate little girl."
Lu Jiayi was choked for a moment, then retorted: "At your slow speed, I'm afraid you can't even save the dead!"
The man became interested, and his eyes became brighter as he looked at Lu Jiayi. He asked seriously, "So, girl, how can I help you?"
Lu Jiayi breathed a sigh of relief and began to organize her thoughts. She took a look at the two people in the car, wearing long gowns and jackets, with their hair braided in the back and bald in the front, and she immediately realized that she was in the Qing Dynasty, and she felt a little more secure.
The Qing Dynasty, this is the era she is most familiar with!
Are you kidding? She is not even familiar with the history of the Qing Dynasty. How can she be worthy of the Qing Dynasty dramas that are bombarded on major satellite TV stations!
She looked down at her modern outfit, and an idea suddenly occurred to her mind. She looked up at the man in the carriage and said eagerly, "My family lives in a very far place, and we are... in the tea business. I came here to find a kind of tea called 'Huoqing Tea'. Do you know where I can find this tea nearby?"
"Huoqing Tea?" The man repeated the unfamiliar name, thought for a long time, and shook his head, "I've never heard of it."
Lu Jiayi was like a deflated ball, muttering, "If I had known this mission wouldn't be so easy to complete..."
"But..." The man looked at the dejected Lu Jiayi with amusement and said, "There is a family next door to my house who happens to be in the tea business. Maybe I can ask them to help you."
"Really?" Lu Jiayi's eyes lit up and her whole body became energized.
"If you don't mind, you can come back with me, and I'll change your... hard-to-describe clothes." In his opinion, Lu Jiayi's clothes were really horrible. She must have walked a long way and suffered a lot, otherwise, how could a normal clothing be torn like this, without even the sleeves?
Lu Jiayi didn't know that the other party was mourning her T-shirt. She said "thank you" and got into the car happily.
"By the way, I haven't asked your name yet!" Lu Jiayi remembered something.
"I am Wang from Fuxi Township, Xiuning County. I am a well-known scholar. I have been studying in seclusion in the mountains recently."
"What?"
Lu Jiayi felt a little dizzy and fell to the side without noticing.
"Girl, what's wrong with you?" Wang Shishen didn't understand why she suddenly lost her mind and bumped into the car.
"No, it's okay..." Lu Jiayi waved her hands excitedly, and swallowed back the words that were about to come out of her mouth with all her might, because...
"I have seen your grave, sir!"
It seems impolite to say this to someone when you first meet them!
Next door to the Wang family lived a tea merchant who had a daughter named Cha Niang. Wang Shishen took Lu Jiayi to their home and asked Cha Niang to help take care of her.
The tea girl was only about eighteen or nineteen years old, with a pretty face and a gentle personality. She blushed when she saw Wang Shishen, glanced at Lu Jiayi again, and took the initiative to walk over and hold Lu Jiayi's hand.
"Miss Lu, just stay at my house and feel at ease. We will help you find a solution for the tea issue."
Lu Jiayi was also very happy to see a woman of the same age as her, and said excitedly: "Then I'm sorry to bother you, sister!"
Seeing that the two hit it off immediately, Wang Shishen felt relieved and said a few polite words before leaving.
The tea lady took Lu Jiayi to her room, found her some clothes, and prepared hot water and food. Lu Jiayi was so moved that she burst into tears. It seemed that except for the difficulty in finding tea leaves, her trip was not too unlucky.
Lu Jiayi changed , washed her face, and was sitting at the table eating voraciously.
The tea girl came in and asked curiously, "Miss Lu, what exactly does the 'fire green tea' you mentioned look like? I am not well-informed and have never heard of this kind of tea. I wonder how you got the information from?"
Lu Jiayi swallowed a piece of green vegetable fiercely and explained seriously: "Huoqing tea originated in the Ming Dynasty, so it is not rare. The tea tree of this tea is shaped like 'gold and silver tea', and is adjacent to mountain flowers all year round. The leaves are like jasper and the taste is like the fragrance of flowers. The tea leaves made from this tea tree are shaped like pearls and snowballs, dark green in color, with white hairs visible, and fall into the plate with a sound. No matter whether the water in the cup is cold or hot, once the tea leaves are put into the teacup, they sink to the bottom immediately, without a single strand floating. Therefore, it has another alias, called 'cold water sink'."
"It's a pity that Tea Girl has never heard of such a good tea." Tea Girl frowned and suddenly felt a little inferior about her own knowledge.
"Hehe..." Lu Jiayi scratched her hair and stammered, "Actually, I also read it in a book. Besides, sister, you don't have to feel sorry because we can find it together!"
The tea girl smiled and said a little shyly: "Miss Lu, you are so cute."
Lu Jiayi chuckled.
However, at night, when Lu Jiayi lay in a strange bed, she was no longer so relaxed. The person she met today was Wang Shishen! Who is Wang Shishen? He was the one who wrote a poem that has been passed down through the ages after tasting Huoqing Tea. If even he didn't know about the existence of Huoqing Tea, how long would Lu Jiayi have to stay in this strange time and space to find that kind of tea?
Oh my god, she didn't want to die of old age in the Qing Dynasty! Besides, Lu Yu's request was for her to find the fire green tea with anger. Now that she couldn't even find the tea leaves, there was no hope for anger.
Lu Jiayi sighed and unconsciously took out the tea pet hidden on her body. In the dim light, she touched the ancient golden toad and asked quietly: "Hey, Lu Yu, are you there?"
"Any progress?" Suddenly, a clear male voice came out through Jin Chan's mouth.
"So you're here! I'm telling you, if you dare to be so rude to me again, I won't tolerate it!" Lu Jiayi immediately got angry and said angrily, "By the way, I found Wang Shishen, but no one has heard of Huoqing Tea. What should I do next?"
Jin Chan was silent for a while, and then Lu Yu's voice came faintly: "The era I sent you to should be not far from the time when Wang Shishen's poem appeared. You should be more careful and pay more attention to the situation in the tea market."
Lu Jiayi pouted and silently agreed. Staring at the psychic tea pet in her hand, she seemed to have thought of something and suddenly asked, "Hey, do you remember the jar in Wang Shishen's tomb?"
"Have you thought of a solution?" Lu Yu asked back.
Lu Jiayi smiled mysteriously: "Hehe, you will know when the time comes."
The Wang family is a family of scholars, and is well-known in the entire Fuxi Township. The mansion is also quite magnificent. Although it is not as magnificent as the houses of ordinary wealthy merchants, it has pavilions, towers, winding paths, and all the nobleness and romance of literati.
The next day, Lu Jiayi knocked on the door of Wang's house with a blueprint.
While waiting for the servant to announce the time, Lu Jiayi sat in the flower hall, bored, so she had to eat all the snacks in the flower hall.
She was holding a tea bowl in one hand and a bunch of grapes in the other, and was eating happily when a voice suddenly came from behind her.
"Girl likes tea?"
"Uh..." Lu Jiayi turned around and saw a man who looked very similar to Wang Shishen appear beside her. She was stunned.
Unlike Wang Shishen, this man had thick eyebrows and smaller eyes, which made him look a bit cunning. However, he did look a lot like Wang Shishen, so could he be Wang Shishen's brother?
"It's okay...it's okay..." Lu Jiayi secretly stuffed the uneaten grapes back into the plate and sat down pretending to be reserved.
The man kept staring at her with his mischievous eyes, moving them around her face and chest a few times. Lu Jiayi couldn't help it anymore and was about to get angry, but she saw him suddenly smile, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.
"I heard from the servants that you are here to look for Xiao Liuzi? I am his fourth brother, Wang Shicheng. I am honored to meet you."
Lu Jiayi was almost blinded by his weird smile and felt uncomfortable all over. She had to take a deep breath and try to calm herself down.
"Excuse me, Fourth Young Master, where is Master Wang?"
"He went out this morning." Wang Shicheng rolled his eyes and smiled in an ambiguous way. "I see that the young lady likes to drink tea. Coincidentally, I got a bag of good tea a while ago. Today we are destined to meet. I will ask the young lady to taste it."
Lu Jiayi just hoped that this person would get away from her as soon as possible. After hearing what he said, she immediately said, "Okay, thank you for your help then."
Wang Shicheng clapped his hands, called the servants, gave them detailed instructions, and then sat down next to Lu Jiayi generously.
Fortunately, the tea came up quickly. Lu Jiayi tried her best to keep smiling, took the teacup from the servant, looked down, and saw that the tea soup was clear in color, the leaves were even, and it smelled elegant and fragrant. She couldn't help but mutter in her heart: "This guy is so generous, is he really treating me to good tea?"
"How is it?" Wang Shicheng was quite confident in his taste and asked impatiently.
Lu Jiayi took a sip, savoring the taste of the tea while searching her mind for knowledge about tea.
She thought for a while and prepared to speak: "I think..."
"Fourth brother, Miss Lu is my guest. We in the Wang family are a family of scholars. If we were to be careless and neglect our guests with inferior tea, it would be impolite, right?" A familiar voice interrupted Lu Jiayi.
Lu Jiayi looked in the direction of the voice and saw the man standing at the door of the flower hall, facing the light, his face illusory and warm. He was wearing moon-white clothes, with a jade pendant like a water drop hanging from his waist. Just standing there, the breeze came uninvited.
Wang Shishen!
Lu Jiayi was so happy that she immediately forgot what era she was in. She waved at the other party and shouted, "Xiao Liuzi!"
The gentle and jade-like gentleman is only handsome for three seconds...
As soon as Wang Shishen heard her speak, his originally handsome face began to twitch slightly.
Instead, Wang Shicheng sneered: "What do you mean? How dare you say that I neglected your guests? Don't think that you can be presumptuous in front of your brother just because you have studied for a few more years! I tell you..."
"Just now, I saw the servants take the Yangxian tea from your room. They brewed it in less than a quarter of an hour and hurriedly sent it here. If I'm not mistaken, the water in the mansion today was taken from the lower gorge of Qingfeng Gorge, right?" Wang Shishen took a step closer, took a look at the tea in Lu Jiayi's hand, frowned and said, "Miss Lu's family is in the tea business. She is different from the women Fourth Brother has met before. She can naturally taste good tea and bad tea."
"What about the water from Xiaxia..." Wang Shicheng was displeased, with a hint of anger in his tone.
Lu Jiayi became interested. She blinked her big, lively eyes and looked at Wang Shishen curiously. She asked, "I want to know, since you haven't drunk the tea in my hand, how can you tell where it was brewed?"
Wang Shishen looked at her, and saw a pair of eyes as clear and bright as autumn water looking at him. His heart beat faster for no reason. Yesterday, when he saw her in disheveled clothes and rude words, he thought she was either a goblin roaming in the mountains or a poor refugee. But when he saw her today, he found that she had such bright eyes...
She also mentioned a lesser-known tea yesterday, which was indeed a little different.
Wang Shishen smiled faintly, collected his thoughts, and said, "Fuxi Township is sparsely populated and remote, and the only water that can barely match Yangxian tea is the nearby Qingfeng Gorge. The tea is too strong when brewed with water from the upper gorge, and too light when brewed with water from the lower gorge. I know that the servants in the mansion find it troublesome and don't want to go far, so they usually fetch water from the lower gorge. Just now, I saw the servant brewing tea in less than a quarter of an hour, so I naturally knew that he used water directly from the mansion." He paused halfway through his speech, pointed to the teacup in Lu Jiayi's hand, and continued, "Brother, please look, the cup of tea in Miss Lu's hand has only shown tea color until now. If it is not brewed with water from the lower gorge, then where is the water used?"
The more Lu Jiayi listened, the wider her mouth opened. She was suddenly lucky that she hadn't spoken just now, otherwise she would have been embarrassed. This Wang Shishen was indeed a person who could leave his name in history. He was extraordinary! Thinking of this, she couldn't help but have a better impression of this ancestor who had long passed away in her era.
"You..." Wang Shicheng stood up from his seat, breathing heavily through his nose, "Hmph!" He didn't bother any more, just flicked his sleeves and left.
Lu Jiayi was laughing in her heart, but suddenly she noticed that Wang Shishen was looking at her. She was startled, and the two of them looked at each other awkwardly.
"Ahem..." Wang Shishen coughed lightly, breaking the silence first, and said softly, "If Miss Lu likes Yangxian tea, I can ask the servants to brew it again. Girls shouldn't drink too strong tea. Using water from Zhongxia, the tea taste will be between strong and light, which is perfect ."
"No, no need..." Lu Jiayi waved her hand and said, "To make a new pot of tea, I have to trouble your family to go outside to fetch water. It's too troublesome."
Wang Shishen understood her good intentions and stopped forcing her. Instead, he said, "Then I'll invite you to take a walk in the garden." As he spoke, he made a gesture of invitation.
"Huh?" Lu Jiayi was confused.
Wang Shishen suppressed his laughter and said, "When I passed by the flower hall this morning, there were still full plates of fruits and snacks here... well... eating too much can cause indigestion, so taking a walk can help digestion."
This person's eyes are too poisonous!
Lu Jiayi put down the teacup with a red face and ran out.
In the back garden of Wang's house, Lu Jiayi saw that it was full of pine, bamboo, chrysanthemum, and plum trees, and there were beautiful views to enjoy in all seasons. As late spring approached, she strolled along the path dotted with fallen petals, looking at the greenery of the garden and the beautiful flowers blooming in their final moments, and her mood couldn't help but improve.
Lu Jiayi stopped beside a potted plum tree. The garden was full of spring colors, but this plum tree was the only one that was barren and looked a little desolate.
Seeing the regretful look on her face, Wang Shishen could not help but say, "A thousand trees are withered in the cold weather, only the southern branches have flowers. This plum blossom is not lonely, it is just aloof and proud, and only willing to bloom in the cold winter when all the trees are withered."
"Well, what you said makes sense..." Lu Jiayi nodded seriously and said, "Also, if it's winter, when the plum blossoms bloom, we can make plum blossom cakes and plum blossom chicken slices are also good."
Wang Shishen looked at her in shock. Under the reflection of the spring sun, the half of her face looked somewhat dreamy.
As if by some strange coincidence, he explained to himself that perhaps this kind of her was the most authentic Lu Jiayi? Those reserved and reserved things were not suitable for her.
"Did I say something weird just now?" Lu Jiayi suddenly came to her senses and turned to ask.
Wang Shishen smiled and did not answer her. Instead, he asked, "Excuse me, Miss Lu, what is the matter that brought you here to see me today?"
"Oh, right!" Lu Jiayi took out a blueprint from her sleeve and handed it to Wang Shishen. "I've read in a book that this kind of jar is specially used to hold Huoqing tea. Since I can't find Huoqing tea now, I want to ask a craftsman to make this jar first to see if I can find any clues. However, I'm not a good painter, so... can you help me retouch it?"
Lu Jiayi grabbed her hair, looking embarrassed.
Wang Shishen took it and looked at it, and was immediately at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
Lu Jiayi's painting skills are really not good enough. Perhaps because she herself couldn't recognize what she was drawing, she used a lot of words to explain it in detail. In short, this "drawing" looks like a work that has been spilled with ink, which is terrible.
This is not asking him to help with polishing, it is clearly asking him to redraw it .
Wang Shishen suppressed his laughter and said, "Well, since you always surprise me from time to time, I'll help you."
After hearing this, Lu Jiayi immediately showed an expression of "I'm optimistic about you" and said happily: "Thank you! I knew you were a good person!"
After finishing her business, Lu Jiayi said goodbye to Wang Shishen. When she passed the side door of the palace, she saw the tea girl who was about to leave in a hurry.
"Sister Cha Niang! Wait for me!" Lu Jiayi hurriedly chased after her and enthusiastically grabbed Cha Niang's sleeve. Unexpectedly, Cha Niang was startled by her action and suddenly retracted her hand.
"Sister, what's wrong with you?" Lu Jiayi asked in surprise.
The tea girl looked at her in panic, breathed a sigh of relief, and whispered, "I, I'm fine." As she spoke, she secretly glanced behind her to make sure that no one else was following her, and her expression finally relaxed.
The more Lu Jiayi looked at her, the more strange it felt.
Cha Niang didn't seem to want to stay in Wang's house for long, so she quickly pulled her out. When they reached her door, Cha Niang smiled at Lu Jiayi apologetically and said embarrassedly, "Sorry, I scared you."
Lu Jiayi waved her hands: "No, no, no, I'm not that kind of delicate little girl!"
The tea girl looked at her, her eyes seemed to be filled with deep thoughts. She sighed and said with a smile: "Miss Lu, I really envy you."
Lu Jiayi asked back with a strange look on her face: "What do you envy me for?"
"I, I usually... don't dare to talk to the Sixth Young Master. Every time I see him, I always feel flustered and my heart beats very fast." Tea Lady smiled bitterly and lowered her head and said, "I was delivering tea to the mansion just now. When I passed by the garden, I saw you talking and laughing with him, and you didn't look nervous at all. Miss Lu, you are so brave."
Lu Jiayi opened her mouth wide and said with sudden enlightenment: "I know!"
"What do you know?" Tea Girl asked curiously.
"So..." Lu Jiayi said with a smile, "You've fallen in love with the Sixth Young Master of the Wang Family! Only when you like someone will you feel at a loss when facing him, always worrying about making a fool of yourself and being laughed at by him. Sister, am I right?"
"I... I..." The tea girl's face suddenly turned red as if it was on fire, "I am an ordinary tea picker, I can't read or write, and he is the knowledgeable Sixth Young Master... How can I, how can I..."
"Oh!" Lu Jiayi was disgusted by the ancient prejudices. She waved her hands like she was chasing away a fly and said, "It's not against the law to like someone, so why are there so many messed-up rules? You've heard the story of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, right? If the Cowherd had felt inferior because of his background and didn't dare to pursue the granddaughter of the Emperor of Heaven, this beautiful legend wouldn't have happened! Oh, I remember they had a pair of children..."
"Miss Lu!" Cha Niang blushed even more, too shy to let Lu Jiayi continue. However, after Lu Jiayi's advice, she felt much better.
Lu Jiayi knew that Cha Niang was a reserved girl, so she stopped teasing her and started to think about it seriously. She had no impression of Wang Shishen's wife, so she simply stopped worrying about history. Since Cha Niang liked him, she would just match them up! It was not easy to come to this era, so it would be meaningful to do something good.
Thinking of this, Lu Jiayi nodded, smiled mysteriously at Cha Niang, and said, "After these two days of contact, I also think that Mr. Wang Liu is a very good person and a good match for my sister! So, I decided to help you!"
The tea lady asked nervously, "Help me? How are you going to help me?"
"Of course I'm helping you create opportunities! Love grows over time, and no one would fall in love with a complete stranger." Lu Jiayi snapped her fingers and said proudly, "Follow me!"
Before Cha Niang went to the appointment, Lu Jiayi gave her many instructions and even asked her to recite the lines she had designed from beginning to end, making it as grand as attending the founding ceremony of the country. Cha Niang had no confidence and felt guilty. With Lu Jiayi's repeated encouragement, she finally walked out of the house. Her back seemed to be as resolute as a martyr going to die.
"Waiting for your good news!" Lu Jiayi stood at the door and waved expectantly.
Suddenly, a man came out from the side, leaned close to Lu Jiayi's ear, and said frivolously: "Girl, it turns out that you live next door to me. It took me a long time to find you. You don't know that I have been missing you for so long these days."
Lu Jiayi's whole body was petrified. She turned around stiffly and saw a face that was 70% similar to Wang Shishen, looking at her with a smile.
She shrank aside in fear and blurted out, "Wang Shicheng, what do you want to do?"
Wang Shicheng's smile froze. He coughed pretentiously and said seriously, "Miss, I came here specially to find you. You won't be so disrespectful to me, right?"
Wang Shicheng has never suffered any loss in front of a woman. This thick-skinned girl probably doesn't know how powerful he is!
Lu Jiayi knew that she was a little impulsive just now. She adjusted her breathing, tried to maintain a polite smile, and asked: "Then may I ask, Mr. Wang, why did you go to such great lengths to find me?"
Wang Shicheng smiled, and his eyes scanned Lu Jiayi's body, becoming brighter and brighter. Seeing that his eyes were not right, Lu Jiayi's face changed immediately. She had no time to maintain etiquette, and she was about to leave with a flick of her sleeves.
Wang Shicheng hurriedly stopped her by shouting, "Hey, hey, hey, girl, don't go! Since we last saw each other, I've been thinking about you..."
He was answered by a loud door slam.
The rest of the sentence was blocked in his mouth. Wang Shicheng slammed the door angrily and said indignantly: "It must be because of that guy Xiao Liuzi. It's not enough that he stole my limelight in front of the elders, he even dared to snatch the woman from me! I will make him pay!" He was so angry that he spat fiercely to the side and turned away.
After closing the door, Lu Jiayi returned to the tea girl's room angrily. When she thought of Wang Shicheng's lustful eyes, she was so angry that her lungs were about to explode. She couldn't understand why Wang Shicheng and Wang Shishen, both of whom were sons of scholarly families, were so different?
Wang Shishen is young, erudite, and elegant. Although he has a bad taste for playing tricks on people, it does not prevent him from being a popular figure in the eyes of girls. Cha Niang has been deeply in love with him since childhood. By the way, I wonder what will happen when Cha Niang leaves?
Lu Jiayi sighed, but there was nothing she could do now. She could only wait for Cha Niang to come back. When her Cha Niang left home, she would have to rely on herself for everything.
The waiting time was not long. After lunch, Tea Girl came back, and she brought someone with her.
Lu Jiayi lay back on the bed in a flash—pretending to be sick!
She squinted her eyes, but her heart was beating very fast.
Wang Shishen walked into the room calmly, leaned forward slightly, observed Lu Jiayi, and said to himself: "Are you really sick?" After a pause, his voice continued to float above Lu Jiayi's head , "I saw the bowl on the dining table. You have such a good appetite even when you are sick. You really deserve to be called..."
Lu Jiayi shuddered all over, and could no longer pretend, so she had to open her eyes obediently. What she saw was an extremely handsome face and two meaningful eyes.
Lu Jiayi looked into his eyes. After all, she had done something wrong, so she was still a little panicked, but she still said very strong: "This is a girl's boudoir, why are you coming in?"
Wang Shishen frowned and said, "Do you think I can't see through your tricks? You traveled thousands of miles for Huoqing tea, why did you use illness as an excuse to let the tea girl come to me to inquire about the production of the tea cans? I thought you were not such a careless person. You and the tea girl have only been together for a few days? If you were really each other's confidant, you would not have come to me alone to draw the blueprints."
Lu Jiayi had nothing to say, but she was still angry, so she stubbornly retorted: "Sister Cha Niang is a very good girl, don't be prejudiced against her."
"I know she's a very good girl, and I have no prejudice against her." Wang Shishen looked really angry, but he suppressed his emotions, sighed deeply, and said, "Do you think that by bringing me and Cha Niang together in this way, we will definitely be happy?"
After hearing what he said, Lu Jiayi was really stunned.
That's right, they are neighbors, strictly speaking, they are childhood sweethearts. Over the years, Wang Shishen has never been attracted to Cha Niang, maybe he really doesn't like girls with that kind of personality.
Lu Jiayi pursed her lips, revealing a slightly aggrieved look, and hesitantly said, "I, I also meant well... I didn't mean to make you angry. Because, Sister Cha Niang really..." She said halfway, slapped her forehead hard, and pretended to suddenly realize, "No wonder I had bad luck this morning, it turned out that Grandpa Yue Lao was punishing me for stealing his job!"
Wang Shishen was indeed a little angry. When he saw Cha Niang sitting upright in front of him, shyly and nervously saying things that she would never say normally, he guessed that it was Lu Jiayi who was behind it.
He had not yet passed the imperial examination and had no intention of starting a family. Lu Jiayi and Cha Niang's little calculations made him very irritated. However, when he saw Lu Jiayi's angry expression, his anger subsided a lot and he no longer had a stern face.
"I was studying in the mountains. The reason I agreed to meet you is not just to tell you about the teapot." Wang Shishen looked at Lu Jiayi and said seriously, "I want to see you because I have something more important to tell you in person."
Lu Jiayi looked up in astonishment and asked, "Is there something more important?"
"This is something that will definitely make you happy." Wang Shishen slowed down his speech, with a faint smile on his face, as if he was also happy with the news. "I think I have found the Huoqing tea you are looking for."
