The Emperor's daughter seeks power to marry the legitimate daughter and becomes the emperor

Chapter 423 Objective 1 You are the one who knows how to appreciate tea

The three yamen runners were so frightened when they heard this that their legs went limp and their hearts began to tremble. Did they run into a shady shop today?

This was the first time they heard that a cup of tea would cost two thousand taels of gold?

In panic, they looked at Zhao Jing, who was sitting nearby and looking upstairs in a very good mood.

They looked at each other, then looked at Zhao Jing and asked with a smile.

"Brother Zhao, our monthly allowance is not enough to support our family, how about you treat us to tea today?"

They all came from humble backgrounds. If they were to bear a huge debt of two thousand taels of gold because of a cup of tea, they would probably go bankrupt and not be able to pay it back!

The three yamen runners looked at Zhao Jing and flattered him in his ears with a smile.

"Yes, Brother Zhao is young and unmarried. It shouldn't be a problem to just invite us to have a cup of tea."

At this time, Zhao Jing, who was waiting to see Weng Ruoyun's performance, did not realize that the huge debt was actually...

Hearing that his brothers only wanted to treat him to tea, he smiled and said, "Okay, it's just a few cups of tea. Of course I'll treat you to the best tea."

While Zhao Jing was exchanging pleasantries with them, he looked at the waiter standing beside them holding a cup of tea with a slightly unfriendly tone.

"Hey, I asked you to serve tea, what are you doing standing here?"

When the waiter heard this, he thought that a distinguished guest had come today, so he put the tea on the table with a smile and boasted to him in a nice way.

"Sir, please take a look at this West Lake Longjing tea. It is the treasure of our shop!"

The waiter stroked his sleeves as he spoke, pointing at the white jade teacup in front of him.

"Sir, please take a good look. This teacup is made of white jade. It has phoenix and peony patterns carved on it. It is usually used by the emperor."

"As the saying goes, jade brews tea, and you meet wealth and honor, and a full cup of tea brings wealth and honor to the whole house. It is no exaggeration to say that as long as you drink the tea here, you will definitely become rich and honorable in the future."

The waiter had a big smile on his face, pointing at the teacup and boasting, as if he was going to take out all of Zhao Jing's gold today?

However, these words made the three yamen runners sitting around the table feel nervous. They subconsciously reached out their hands and hurriedly wiped the sweat from their foreheads!

Obviously, they felt a little uncomfortable with the waiter's exaggerated words!

Zhao Jing, who had been watching coldly from the side, saw it all.

Looking at the slightly panicked looks of the three yamen runners, he secretly laughed and couldn't help but complain in his heart.

"Look at how useless they are. It's as if they have never seen the world before!"

As he laughed, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a hint of contempt.

Then, he raised his head carelessly, stared straight at the waiter, and gave orders loudly.

"Since you say this tea is so miraculous, why don't you have two more cups? This cup of tea is not enough for me to taste. It's not even enough to fill my teeth!"

Today he wanted to let the three yamen runners see what the proper way of tasting tea was.

Upon hearing this, the waiter was stunned at first, and then muttered in a low voice, "Can these poor yamen runners take out two thousand taels of gold to drink tea?"

The waiter looked at them and laughed at them secretly, but then he reacted.

His face was immediately filled with a flattering smile, and he nodded in agreement.

"Well, sir! I am so lucky to meet a noble man like you today, who is so dignified and elegant!"

As he spoke, he picked up the teacup and laughed boastfully, "I can see that you are an expert in tea tasting and know how to appreciate this top-quality tea. I will prepare it for you right away and I guarantee you will be satisfied!"

As he spoke, the waiter trotted all the way to the kitchen and started making tea for Zhao Jing.

The three yamen runners were so worried after hearing this that they felt like they were sitting on pins and needles. Seeing that Zhao Jing didn't know about this, one of them hesitated for a moment and then kindly reminded him because they were in the same yamen.

"Brother Zhao, this tea cannot be drunk, it should be tasted. You can't drink tea as water. How about a cup of tea first?"

"What? You mean I don't know how to taste tea? And you are the expert who knows how to taste tea?"
