Chapter 930 - 928 Exposure
It’s obvious, with this kind of good tea, even if my closed-door disciple has some means, how much can he really have?
If I were to squander it recklessly, what would I do for the rest of the days?
Imperial Physician Du, who had never bothered to budget his tea consumption, has now learned to calculate meticulously, thinking of drinking it slowly, sometimes hungry, sometimes full, so that it could last until the next Qingming.
Today, not wanting to lose face, he painfully took out the tea leaves to share, not expecting this second-ranked official to be so shameless!
Zhu Haoran, unlike Governor Chen, didn’t have such a thick skin to act first, could only regret silently, and couldn’t help but say: "Old Du, this kind of good tea, how is it the rural wild tea you mentioned? Bring me two pounds of such rural wild tea!"
Imperial Physician Du nearly spat, such a big face, asking for two pounds right off the bat. Why don’t you ask for two carts!
He said with a cold face, "This tea originally grows in the wild mountains, not in great quantity, my disciple only found a little of it to show filial respect to me, even that’s not enough, where would two pounds come from? Not even two leaves!"
Upon hearing this, Governor Chen tightened his grip on the tea leaves, refusing to let go even more.
Zhu Haoran hadn’t drunk the tea yet; had he drunken it, he would feel refreshed and clear-minded, and upon hearing such words of preciousness from Imperial Physician Du, he would yearn for it even more, becoming restless and just holding onto Imperial Physician Du, not letting go.
Lv Wenguang, too, found this tea excellent. He had thought that by following the two officials, perhaps he might snag a mere one or two ounces.
Unexpectedly, Imperial Physician Du was not loosening his lips, causing a moment of awkward suspension.
Being one among the accompanying guests, it was hard to persuade and also hard not to persuade.
