So he could not wait to pick up the tea, blew on it, took a careful sip, and immediately his eyes lit up. He blew on it again, and took a few sips... He repeated this process until he finished the whole cup of tea and then sighed with satisfaction.
Xia Mo silently put the melon seeds in his hand back into the plate, thinking he was going to say something, but he put down his teacup and then picked up the teapot to pour himself a cup as if no one was around, showing how shameless he was and drank to his heart's content.
It seems that he is really satisfied with this tea, Xia Mo thought and glanced at Ling Chuan.
Ling Chuan was staring at Shen Fu's hands as she poured tea, his eyelids covering half of his pupils.
Shen Fu faced his gaze, filled her teacup with tea, then raised her eyes, pulled up the corners of her mouth and smiled, then boasted about the magical effects of tea in a very exaggerated way, saying that it was more effective than the prescriptions prescribed by the doctor, and asked where she could buy it.
Taking into account that Shen Fu was a member of the Shen family and the Shen family's business route was an indispensable part of the implementation of Jin Xuhua's plan, Ling Chuan deliberately said that it was ordinary scented tea given by a friend and that he did not have much stock and did not intend to sell it.
After hearing this, Shen Fu was surprised and didn't believe it, so he asked about his friend and expressed his desire to buy from him.
Ling Chuan was intentionally keeping him hanging, so naturally he couldn't tell him.
So after he said he could set the price, Ling Chuan still refused and turned to Xia Mo for help.
Xia Mo, the background board, shrugged despite his gaze and said that the friend was his brother's friend and he had only met him a few times, with a look of helplessness on his face.
Helplessly, Shen Fu had to look back at Ling Chuan. At this moment, someone walked towards them.
Ling Chuan retracted his gaze, as if he was annoyed by him, and threw the remaining tea bag to him, adding a sentence that his friend's whereabouts were uncertain and he didn't like him to introduce people to random people.
Shen Fu looked at the thing in his hand, opened it and took a look. His expression changed from surprise to suspicion. He opened his mouth to say something but was interrupted by a joyful voice of "Young Master Shen" behind him. He frowned unhappily, put the thing into his sleeve pocket and turned to look at the person who came.
"Mr. Shen, what a coincidence, I am Song Zhiqi from Minister Song's family, we have met before..."
With other people joining in, Shen Fu no longer had time to talk to Ling Chuan.
Ling Chuan was very happy to see this. To be exact, it was all within his expectations. However, the visitors seemed to be very curious about him and the young man. They kept looking at them. Finally, someone couldn't help but ask about their identities.
Ling Chuan raised his eyelids, opened his thin lips, and coldly uttered two names plus a "small family", which was extremely distant.
When the man heard this, he felt insulted and his face turned ugly. However, before he could make another attack, Shen Fu, whose mood had turned from gloomy to cheerful, took the initiative to stop him with the words "My friend is like this".
Sure enough, whether the attitude is good or not can only be seen through comparison.
As soon as he opened his mouth, several thinkers had room to imagine. Then, looking at the two calm and composed brothers, they all thought that they were important people. They couldn't help but think about it and their attitudes became warmer.
However, they couldn't stay for long because Ling Chuan and Xia Mo didn't pay much attention to them, and Shen Fu clearly didn't want to talk more.
As a result, the people who came near changed one after another. In addition to the acquaintances who stayed, many people just sat down around. Gradually, this deserted corner became lively.
Time passed quietly until the noise at the scene seemed to suddenly quiet down. The joy and the sound of firecrackers at that moment were particularly prominent, and then someone was heard shouting "The groom is here".
Xia Mo looked over immediately and saw Qiao Ruicheng, who was wearing a bright red wedding dress, being pushed in in a wheelchair, while Yu Shuche was carried on someone's back, following beside him step by step.
There was no need for a boy to wear a veil like a girl on his wedding day. He only put on a little makeup, not too gaudy, which made him look more energetic. However, due to the torture of the poisonous insect, Yu Shuche became very thin, and his cheeks were slightly sunken. Even with makeup, he couldn't hide his tiredness.
But overall, the two of them are really a perfect match. Xia Mo thought about it and turned his head to look at Hua Chaoxue in the distance.
Hua Chaoxue was staring at the two newlyweds intently. Xia Mo couldn't see his expression and couldn't help but wonder what he would do?
Xia Mo didn't know and couldn't help feeling a little worried. Ling Chuan also pursed his lips with a deep look in his eyes.
Seeing them staring in fascination, Shen Fu couldn't help but sigh as he looked at Qiao Ruicheng, lowering his voice and saying with regret: "Prince Xian and Princess Xian are also unfortunate. They are happily married today, and it can be said that lovers finally get married."
"Who says it's not..."
Their voices were very low, drowned out by their joy. Xia Mo didn't listen carefully, his eyes kept darting in two directions.
The two newlyweds got married. The old emperor did not come, but he gave them many rewards, including rare and precious medicinal materials, and he seemed very sincere.
After the wedding ceremony, the two grooms were sent to the bridal chamber. Xia Mo was a little worried that Qiao Ruicheng would never come back, but fortunately, he was pushed back to the banquet after a while. He held the wine glass, said a few polite words, and smiled and thanked everyone for coming to his and Yu Shuche's wedding banquet.
Xia Mo blinked, a little surprised. It was hard to put this polite and weak man together with the gloomy man that night. Hua Chaoxue wanted to take him down, but in one word: difficult.
Qiao Ruicheng toasted with three glasses of wine in vain, then stopped drinking on the grounds of health, and let everyone do as they pleased.
Everything seemed fine, everyone was eating and drinking, but then an accident happened.
At the moment when the knife flashed, someone was shocked: "There is an assassin!" But the assassin had already stabbed straight towards Qiao Ruicheng.
The assassin's appearance was like a signal, and other potential assassins among the guests drew their weapons and tried to stop the guards who were rushing in.
For a moment, the frightened guests scattered like birds and beasts, and the originally happy scene became a mess. The assassin who went to assassinate Qiao Ruicheng did not succeed.
While Qiao Ruicheng leaned his upper body backward, he pressed the mechanism on the side of the wheelchair with his hand. The wheelchair suddenly retreated, creating some distance. A guard who jumped out from the side blocked the dagger's attack with a knife and started fighting with him.
As everyone was fleeing in panic, Hua Chaoxue stood still. He knew very well that it was time for him to show his ability. If he did not act now, he was not sure if he would have another chance to talk to King Xian after the assassins were dealt with. If he did take action, they would definitely meet, but he would also be suspected by the other party.
What he could think of, Xia Mo and Ling Chuan also thought of, so the two of them did not follow the crowd to escape at the first time.
Shen Fu ran halfway and accidentally found the two brothers still standing there stupidly. He could not help but said anxiously: "Mo brothers! Stop looking! Hurry up and leave! Swords have no eyes!"
When he shouted, Xia Mo suddenly came back to his senses and pulled Ling Chuan towards the door.
Hua Chaoxue also made a decision at this moment. With a determined look in his eyes, he walked away from them and joined the fight.
His attire was different from that of the uniform guards, and his moves were also different from those of the assassins with weapons. He was unarmed and very conspicuous.
Seeing this scene, a dark light flashed in Qiao Ruicheng's eyes. He glanced at his confidant who was protecting him, then drove the wheelchair and left from the back.
