My life has been too long...

I'm sorry for my old bones. Even though I'm old, I still have to be pulled out. I'm already buried in the ground.

Fortunately, having tea as a companion can be regarded as comfort for the rest of my life.

This is my tea garden, a bigger place in all directions. When the emperor rewards me, it will be fine if it is not shabby.

"Grandpa Tan, look, this tea leaf is crystal clear. Can it really make tea?" The eldest princess took a white tea leaf in her hand and looked at it. The bells on her ankles jingled. She was wearing

Casual clothes, um... luxurious casual clothes.

"This is not really a kind of tea, it's just called that. It comes from the Elf Kingdom, and it should be more appropriately called vanilla. However, when it is put into warm water, it will completely dissolve and emit a wonderful fragrance.

, Ah... that feeling is so wonderful, sometimes you have to admire the miracle of nature." I put my hands behind my back, and as far as my back is concerned, it is indeed a bit hunched...

Time is not forgiving.

But if you ask me to talk about this tea, I will definitely be able to talk about it for three days and three nights.

I understand so much about growing tea seeds, growing tea leaves, removing insects, watering, picking, brewing tea leaves, and most importantly, tasting tea.

"Yes, the spiritual world is always so magical. There are many things beyond imagination that I have never seen before. They exist quietly somewhere in the world. They are the miracles of this world. How wonderful."

The princess happily put down my precious tea leaves. I knew she had something to do with me, but she never said anything. She just followed me to the tea garden. I put the hoe aside and she wandered around the tea garden.

I was thinking about how old I am, what else should I do. And I need a little baby like the eldest princess to play the emotional card.

Although I just eat this, I still have some doubts.

What could it be?

"Oh! I didn't expect Grandpa Tan to still grow this kind of tea! This is a very hard-to-find tea! Grandpa Tan is really amazing." The eldest princess took a green leaf in her hand and looked at it. She looked very happy.

You should know this kind of tea.

"I didn't expect you to know this tea leaf?" I walked to him and squatted down next to the tea plant. I also picked a piece and held it in my hand: "I'm going to test you...this tea seed is...

I worked so hard to bring it from Bailing Mountain."

"Well...this tea will not take root unless it comes from the soil of Bailing Mountain, and it will not sprout if it does not come from the water of Bailing Mountain. It is only found in Bailing Mountain. It is called Stork Erhai, and the leaves look like storks flying with wings. The tea brewed with this tea is extremely bitter, but with added

The specially prepared sea water will become extremely sweet. For many people, the seedlings from the Erhai Lake are hard to come by. It’s not that you can’t get seedlings, but that you can’t get the care of the day after tomorrow.

I’m afraid I can only watch the mountains and rivers of Lingshan sink into the soil and be buried.”

"Hahahahaha... I didn't expect that the eldest princess also knows tea... I'm really embarrassed to speak."

"Grandpa Tan is joking... How can I compare with you? I only found out about it by reading a book by chance. I only remembered it when I saw the real thing today. There are such rare things in the varieties planted by Grandpa Tan. It's really amazing."

Lin'er's horizons have been opened." The eldest princess put the piece of tea in her sleeve. She has the habit of collecting rare things from all over the world, I have heard about it for a long time. However, she is still very generous and does not feel polite. Although not

You need to ask me, but it still makes me feel distressed.

If tea leaves are not used for drinking but are treasured, it would be a great pity for those rare tea leaves.

If there is not a good tea master to make tea, it will also make me feel less comfortable.

"The tea leaves here are far more than just Erhai Lake..." I put the tea leaves in my hand into the tea basket I carried with me.

"I have long heard that Grandpa Tan loves tea as much as his life. I saw him today and it is true." The eldest princess walked leisurely on the path of the tea garden, the bells on her ankles ringing sometimes and silently.

I laughed hahaha. Indeed, when she picked off the leaf, my heart was bleeding.

However, I won’t say it openly. I don’t go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing. The eldest princess came to me for no reason. She didn’t find me at my residence and followed me to the tea garden. It doesn’t seem like she has anything good to do. Even if she doesn’t

No matter how important it is, it should be a chore.

I didn't dare to ask her why she came here. Of course, I wouldn't embarrass this little guy. If it wasn't a big deal, I would just refuse.

I picked up the hoe again, fixed the tea basket, and weeded away the weeds bit by bit. Some things cannot be said clearly. I hope the eldest princess also understands this truth. So I just need to wait for her to be impatient.

If you keep my silence, maybe you can go back.

This is like a negotiation. I am obviously unwilling to do something that she may ask me to do. So, what she needs to do is to say it tactfully, and what is more important is the price. If the price is not high enough,

Not even qualified to negotiate.

I won't ask. She came to me specifically to tell me something, and she needed to ask me to come out.

The hoe went into the ground and slowly pulled out the grass. The piles of weeds were placed aside by spiritual power at the roots of the tea tree. There was a larger basket there to contain them.

The sound of the bell sounded far and near, and she was still looking at my precious tea leaves with great interest.

Of course, with the crisp click, my heart was about to bleed. She must have picked it off and kept it as a collection.

【Bah!】

【Bah!】

【Bah!】

My hands are almost trembling. The more I hoe the ground, the worse it feels, and I feel bad.

Can I stop this big baby from picking my precious tea leaves?

No...I can't stop whatever the majestic eldest princess of the empire wants.

The tea leaves can grow longer! But this leisure time is different.

【Bah...】

【Bah...】

【Bah...】

How much has the little girl picked? From the sound of it, even the twigs have been pulled out.

Did you hear it? My heart is bleeding.

And the cry of my tea tree baby.

Sure enough, this little baby knows how to catch me. At my age, I only have so many tea gardens left.

"Hey! I remembered! Grandpa Tan... let me tell you something." The bell on her ankle started to move. Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell, as if she had gone to another place.

【Bah...】

really.

"What...thing..." My voice probably didn't tremble...well...that's it, she probably couldn't hear it.

"Father asked me to tell you something..."

【Bah...】

"What's the matter?" He also put down his hoe and looked at her.

I sighed vaguely.

"Bailing Mountain lacks the position of general manager, and we need you to take up the post." She half-crouched and looked at the stork Erhai carefully.

"I'm an old man... How can I care about Bailing Mountain? I've been retired for so many years... Besides, after so many years of leisure, I can no longer keep up." What I said was all useless, Your Majesty.

Can I not go if you ask me to go?

"Besides, I don't have anyone to take care of my garden anymore. I'm afraid Tan is not up to the task." I hammered my waist. I have to be very strong, but I still have to hammer when it's time to hammer.

"Grandpa Tan... have you heard? A huge fire eagle appears over Bailing Mountain." She did not look at me, but stared at the tea trees in Erhai Lake.

"I've stopped caring about world affairs for a long time, how could I know."

"But empty words cannot withstand Wutongsi's scrutiny..."

I have nothing to say.

"So... my consort, the young master of Bailing Mountain, who I am married to, should be back." She glanced sideways at me, and I kept looking at her, so I noticed.

"This is a good thing..." I could only say these four words.

"I want Grandpa Tan to help me find out what the young master of the Ning family is like now. As for the manager of Bailing Mountain, I will take care of it, father."

I don't believe it, because the emperor can scold his daughter, but he may not scold me as easily.

In fact, my words don't have that much weight. A king is a king and a minister is a minister. Being able to send the eldest princess to invite me is enough to give me face. After all, it has been a long time since I resigned from Wutong Division.

It's been so long that I almost forgot what they looked like.

I didn't say anything. Looking at this garden, something very uncomfortable flowed in my heart.
Chapter completed!
