A Blessed Daughter Chapter 261

  Chapter 261 Invite to meet

   Shopkeeper Shen thought that the tea leaves are not worth much nowadays, so it would be fine to give Mr. Xu a few catties of tea to toss.

   "All." Wei Ruo replied.

   "All... all?" Shopkeeper Shen showed a surprised expression.

   "Well. To be more precise, leave as much tea as you can put down without frying." Wei Ruodao, if there are not so many dustpans or not so big a place to store, then there is no way.

   "This..." Shopkeeper Shen looked embarrassed.

  If you leave them all alone, you will lose a lot of money.

   "It's okay, you can ask your son for instructions first, and we will do it after he agrees." Wei Ruo said.

   "Xu Gongzi Haihan, wait for me to ask my son before replying to Xu Gongzi." Shopkeeper Shen said.

   "Well, don't be in a hurry now, first walk around with me, and when I have seen it almost, you can go to the young master of the Yi family." Wei Ruo said.

  Wei Ruo still needs to have a more comprehensive understanding of Yusheng Tea Garden.

   "Okay." Shopkeeper Shen agreed with a smile, and then continued to lead Wei Ruo to visit the tea garden.

  While Wei Ruo was visiting the tea garden, Fan Chengxu was entertaining an "uninvited guest" somewhere in the Yusheng tea garden, in a chic courtyard among the tea mountains.

   It was Chu Lan who was unwilling to live in the official residence.

  Chu Lan didn't want to live in the official residence, but also wanted a clean place, so Fan Chengxu vacated this small courtyard on the tea mountain and made it a temporary residence for Chu Lan.

   At this time, the two were sitting and drinking tea in the pavilion in the small courtyard.

  Chu Lan put down her teacup, her eyes fell on Fan Chengxu: "You seem a little absent-minded."

   "Absent? No, it's just a little lazy." Fan Chengxu denied.

  Although he didn't admit it, he was actually a little absent-minded, because Fan Chengxu wanted to know Xu Heyou's situation more than being with Chu Lan.

  Originally, he planned to accompany Xu Heyou in person today, and he also wanted to hear what extraordinary opinions Xu Heyou could put forward on the spot.

  However, Chu Lan wanted him to accompany him, and he couldn't refuse, so he sent his subordinates.

   Afraid that Chu Lan would see something, Fan Chengxu took the initiative to find a topic: "Your Highness, I heard that Mr. Wei has a great fortune, and he was rescued after being closed for a while."

   "Well, he is fatal. The injury was thought to be incurable at the time, and the military doctor accompanied him back to Wei's house. He wanted him to see his family for the last time." Chu Lan told the real situation at that time.

   "As the saying goes, if you survive a catastrophe, you will be blessed. I don't know if Mr. Wei still has a chance to be promoted after this battle."

  Although Wei Mingting was promoted two ranks in a row last year and very quickly, military attaches in wartime are promoted based on their merits. As long as they do well, no one will object to the promotion no matter how fast it is.

   "It shouldn't happen this time." Chu Lan denied Fan Chengxu's conjecture.

   "Why? Because of the heavy losses in this battle?"

   "This battle was not fought beautifully. It was a narrow victory, and the imperial court had quite objections to the lack of defense of our army when the Japanese invaded this time." Chu Lan said.

   "How can you blame your lack of defense? The coastal defense of Taizhou Prefecture lacks manpower, medicine, and weapons. It is very difficult to achieve this level." Fan Chengxu couldn't help but said.

   "Then you have to ask your good uncle. In this battle, your uncle took the lead in the court to blame the Taizhou Army's weak defense." Chu Lan said.

  Hearing this, Fan Chengxu touched his nose disheartened and stopped talking.

  He is also aware of his uncle's temperament, and he is indeed a person who can do such things.

   At this moment, shopkeeper Shen came over and whispered a few words in Fan Chengxu's ear.

   "Oh? Did he say that?" Fan Chengxu said with great interest.

   "Yes, he did say that." Shopkeeper Shen said.

   "Then listen to him. Anyway, the tea at this time is not worth much, I want to see what tricks he can play." Fan Chengxu made a decision immediately without hesitation.

   "Then I will tell the people in the garden to do it."

   Shopkeeper Shen Deling was about to leave, but was stopped by Chu Lan.

   "You wait first."

   Shopkeeper Shen stopped immediately.

   Immediately afterwards, Chu Lan looked at Fan Chengxu and asked, "Did you just say Xu Heyou?"

   "Your Highness, you are too smart. Shopkeeper Shen and I didn't mention anything related to Mr. Xu. You can guess that the person we are talking about is Mr. Xu?" Fan Chengxu couldn't help but exclaimed.

  Chu Lan doesn't know why, but just has such an intuition, and recently Fan Chengxu and Xu Heyou have indeed moved closer.

   "You two seem to have a good personal relationship," Chu Lan said.

   "Your Highness, don't misunderstand me. I have a business relationship with Mr. Xu." Fan Chengxu explained.

   "Since you are discussing business with him, why don't you discuss it face to face?" Chu Lan said.

  Fan Chengxu murmured in his heart: What do you mean to talk about business in person? I'm afraid it's not your seventh prince who wants to meet Mr. Xu, right?

   But Fan Chengxu could only think about it in his heart, and he had to say it according to Chu Lan's intention.

   "Your Highness is right, shopkeeper Shen, please go and invite Mr. Xu." Fan Chengxu ordered shopkeeper Shen to invite someone.

   "Yes, son."

   Shopkeeper Shen hurriedly turned back to find Wei Ruo.

  Wei Ruo is squatting on the ground of the tea garden at the moment, checking the soil and the branches and leaves of the tea trees.

   Shopkeeper Shen came quickly, and only saw Xiumei from a distance, and when he ran up to him, he saw Wei Ruo squatting on the ground.

   "Master Xu, my son invites you to have tea and discuss in detail."

   "Isn't your son busy with other things?" Wei Ruo asked.

   "This..." Shopkeeper Shen didn't know how to explain this question. He couldn't guess what the Young Master and His Royal Highness were thinking.

  After thinking for a while, shopkeeper Shen explained: "My young master did have some important matters just now, but he is free now. Knowing that Mr. Xu is still in the tea garden, he hurriedly asked me to invite Mr. Xu to come over."

   "Okay then, I'll go with you."

Wei Ruo also knew that it would be more straightforward to talk directly with Fan Chengxu about this matter, and besides the withering of the tea leaves picked today, she also needs to explain other matters related to making black tea, which involve many things, if all the information is conveyed through Shopkeeper Shen On the contrary, it is troublesome.

  Wei Ruo followed shopkeeper Shen to the small courtyard in the middle of the tea mountain.

  The small courtyard is built in the shade of greenery, and you can see the rolling tea mountains when you go out, which is quite poetic and picturesque.

   Entered the yard, walked through the corridor, and came to a pavilion.

   Seeing two figures sitting in the pavilion, Wei Ruo stopped in his tracks, and after a closer look, he found that the other person sitting was Chu Lan.

  Wei Ruo's heart shook, and she subconsciously wanted to turn around and leave.

   However, Chu Lan had already looked at her at this time, and it was too late for Wei Ruo to escape.

   Seeing Wei Ruoli standing still, Fan Chengxu got up and greeted him: "Mr. Xu, please come inside."

  Wei Ruo took his eyes off Chu Lan and followed Fan Chengxu into the pavilion.

  There are new teacups on the table, obviously for her.
