Chapter 279 It turned out to be him!
Cao Sicheng turned his head outside the door, and it turned out that he was the one who came!
Cao Sicheng's eyes widened immediately.
He thought that many people would be helping these people.
But I never thought it would be this one.
It's really unexpected.
Why is he involved with these people?
When the three of them saw the visiting person, they immediately stood up and walked forward to greet him.
"Laoge Lai didn't expect that you would be here." Cao Sicheng smiled helplessly.
"What did Lord Cao think of this? Everyone is friends, they are all friends who come together for the country and the country." The visitor smiled heartily.
That’s right, the person who came was the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, Lai Zongdao.
How could Cao Sicheng think that Lai Zongdao, who has never shown any signs, would be the helping hand of the Donglin Party?
No wonder I always felt that there was a pusher behind me who was helping me when I impeached Wei Zhongxian, otherwise the impeachment of the ministers in the gathering of Qi would not be so smooth.
"Mr. Muzhai, it's great that Brother Zhou hasn't seen you for a long time." Lai Zongdao greeted Qian Qianyi and Zhou Yanru.
"It's so good. You see, I'm a little fat." Qian Qianyi smiled and bowed to Lai Zongdao.
"Oh, it's really true. It's better to be fatter. The ancients said that it's better to be fatter than to be fatter." Lai Zongdao joked.
"Hahaha!"
Four important figures in the Ming Dynasty laughed together.
"Please sit down, please sit down!" Cao Sicheng made a gesture of invitation. After coming to Zongdao to sit down, the servant behind him immediately poured him a cup of tea.
Lai Zongdao picked up the teacup and sniffed it in front of his nose. His eyes suddenly became cold. He gently blew away the dough and tasted it carefully. He closed his eyes and squirted slightly. After a while, he opened his eyes and exhaled a breath of turbid air.
"Good tea is really good tea. The best-quality Longjing is green in color, fragrant, sweet in taste, and beautiful in shape. The tea soup has a clear and green color, and its shape is two leaves and one core, which intersects and rises and falls up and down. The core and two leaves are shaped like sparrow tongue. When smelling the fragrance, it is fresh and mellow, without a strong feeling. Sip it carefully and slowly, and feel the fragrance remains in the teeth and cheeks, and there is a feeling of sweetness and moisturizing the throat." Lai Zongdao finished this cup beautifully.
Then he said with endless reminiscence: "There is no such a top-notch one in the palace, and only you can have such good tea in your hands in the world."
"I'm telling you, why are you three, who are so leisurely and enjoying tea here at night? It turns out that you have got such a top-notch quality." Lai Zongdao smelled the last tea fragrance left in the tea cup, then put down the cup and said happily.
"If Brother Lai likes it, I will send someone to send two kilograms to your mansion." Zhou Yanru immediately understood what Lai Zongdao meant and said quickly.
"Didn't this cost you a lot? I can't afford this good tea salary, so I'd better not want it." Lai Zongdao shook his head as if he had made such a painful decision.
"Hey! Brother Lai, what are you saying? No matter how good this tea is, it is just a dead thing. How can it be compared with the friendship between you and me? Don't say this. If you don't want this tea, you have to ask for it, otherwise you just look down on me!" Zhou Yanru said stubbornly, and the meaning was like if you don't accept it, you will look down on me and commit suicide by separatism in minutes for you to see!
"This..." Lai Zongdao looked embarrassed.
"Brother Lai is just some local specialties and is not a good thing. If Brother Lai failed Brother Zhou's good intentions, wouldn't it hurt his sincerity?" Qian Qianyi seemed to be unable to bear to see it and quickly spoke for Zhou Yanru.
Cao Sicheng was drinking tea quietly and watching these three drama masters. I didn’t say anything, but I just watched you quietly.
"Well!" Lai Zongdao stroked his hand and said as if he had made some difficult decisions: "Then Brother Yu is more respectful than obedient. However, Brother Yu is an official in the court and has always been honest for many years. This gift cannot be accepted. But Brother Zhou cannot refuse his feelings. So, Brother Yu is willing to buy these two kilograms of local specialties at a high price of one tael of silver. Is that good?"
"One tael of silver is too much. I think it's enough for fifty cents. If it's more, it's more than the price. How can I take advantage of my brother?" Zhou Yanru waved his hand and was determined not to take advantage of it.
The two were still fighting, and Cao Sicheng couldn't stand it anymore. Forget it, let's just end it.
"It's better to spend one tael of silver on two kilograms of tea." Cao Sicheng said to both of them.
"It's so good." Lai Zongdao nodded.
"Then follow Cao Gong's instructions."
So everyone was happy to solve the problem.
It is a smile that continues to taste tea.
Cao Sicheng picked up the teacup and sipped it gently, and his eyes that lowered his head were flashing with strange colors.
Do you think that in the conversation just now, only three important figures in the Ming Dynasty argued about two kilograms of tea? I’m afraid that it’s gold tea won’t be the turn of this treatment.
When characters of their level talk together, every word and every action have other profound meanings. It can even be said that if you want to fart, you have to think carefully.
What kind of information will this fart convey? Will it cause the other person to misunderstand something?
What if they misunderstand this is the worst.
So this tea leaves are an introduction, and today's conversations must be based on the things in this introduction.
From this point of view, Lai Zongdao had something to say. He was sending a message to Cao Sicheng, that is, Lai Zongdao is not a member of the Donglin Party. I hope Brother Cao will not misunderstand it.
Did Cao Sicheng understand? Of course he understood.
If Zongdao was a member of the Donglin Party, why didn’t he have this tea? Why did he praise him? And why did he actually say he wanted to buy it?
I was extremely worried and frightened. There were too many things that could be seen here. Cao Sicheng suddenly received a lot of information in his mind.
The officialdom of the Ming Dynasty was complicated. If there was a man who was a villager from a mountain and a cow, he would not be willing to enter the court. Cao Sicheng sighed in his heart.
However, he could also see from Zong Dao that the Donglin Party members were really anxious. Their power in the court was really weakened too much, especially the senior officials of the third rank or above, who were basically all eunuchs or neutral factions close to the eunuchs. The Donglin Party, which is also in Qingliu Kedao, still has some power.
They even came to Lai Zongdao, the most experienced cabinet master in the cabinet.
I'm afraid that's why they can win over this master.
So Cao Sicheng suddenly had some gloating thoughts, come to the master, come to the master, wouldn’t you work with them to make a fuss with tigers? They are not so easy to meet, they want to eat people!
