Most men like the soft qualities in women. Women who are too strong and rigid will make them feel pressured, right?

At this time, Mrs. Fei Zheng was holding a white handkerchief in her hand, squeezing it back and forth. Her eyes were full of panic and anxiety. She had almost never worried about anything. She had a husband before and now has a daughter, so whenever something happened, she would be anxious, panicked and at a loss.

Fei Minglan quickly stepped forward, held her mother's hand, and asked, "Mom, how is my brother?"

There were tears in Fei Zheng's eyes, and she held her daughter's hand tightly, "I haven't woken up yet! The doctor just came to see her, prescribed the medicine, and is still brewing it."

Fei Minglan patted the back of her mother's hand and said, "It's just a small dispute. It should be nothing serious. Please sit down and wait while I go to the back room to take a look."

Fei Zheng nodded and wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief. "Those two teenagers are also in the back room. You have to be careful when dealing with them."

Fei Minglan was stunned for a moment, and then looked at her mother helplessly. How could she feel comfortable letting her unconscious brother and the "murderer" live in the same room?

Although the servants who served his brother were definitely there, without his family accompanying him, the two murderers were left watching... Fei Minglan was completely speechless towards her mother, who acted so erratically, and didn't know how her father had pampered her all these years, leaving her ignorant of the world.

Fei Minglan turned around and walked into the inner room speechlessly. Li Chun quickly walked in front and opened the curtain for her, announcing inside: "The eldest lady has arrived."

When Xi Yan, who was waiting in front of the bed in the inner room, heard this, he immediately turned around and knelt on the ground, kowtowed in fear, and said, "Miss, it was Xi Yan's inability to protect the Lord that caused the young master to be injured. Please punish me."

In the hearts of Fei family servants, the first thing they fear is the original head of the family, Fei Zhonggui, and the second thing is Fei Minglan, the legitimate lady.

Now that Fei Zhonggui has passed away, Fei Minglan has naturally been promoted to the number one position.

The young master is dedicated to studying and is easy-going and generous towards his servants; the mistress only loves to admire flowers and the moon, and is always indifferent to the servants; the concubine is delicate and always greets the servants with a smile; only the eldest daughter has always been strict in running the house, strict in rules, and does not tolerate any mistakes.

Fei Minglan ignored the inkstone. First she hurried to the bed and looked at Fei Mingde. She saw that his face was rosy, as if he was sleeping, and he didn't look like he was in serious trouble. Then he felt relieved, and then looked at the two young men sitting next to the small table in front of the window, and his eyes lit up.

Her eyes were first attracted by the young man in purple robes and brocade robes - such an exquisite and beautiful young man!

The boy is fifteen or sixteen years old, an age when the distinction between men and women is not yet obvious. His skin is as clear as mutton-fat white jade, without any flaws. His eyebrows are long, his peach blossom eyes are sparkling, his nose is delicate and straight, his lips are thin and rosy, and his facial features are almost perfect.

What's even more rare is that this young man has a luxurious temperament. Purple is difficult to wear, but it makes him look very noble. His brocade robe is embroidered with purple peonies and a palm-width embroidered belt of the same color. He has a white jade pendant on one side and a violet sachet on the other. He is truly luxurious and charming.

As the daughter of an imperial merchant and the boudoir handkerchief of the weaver Zhang Ruyun, Fei Minglan knew that the young man was wearing "dark flower brocade", a tribute fabric specially provided for the royal family, and his peony brocade robe with broken branches was even more rare because of its extra elegant and pure purple color.

Suddenly realizing that the young man's status might be extremely noble and unattainable, Fei Minglan's heart tightened and she secretly squeezed her palms. Her brother might have really gotten into big trouble this time!

She turned to look at the other young man who was slightly older, about eighteen or nineteen years old. At first glance, she felt that the young man had good features and a gentle temperament, and was not as eye-catching as the young man in brocade robes. But after a second look, Fei Minglan was secretly speechless - another handsome man!

Compared with the gorgeous, noisy and eye-catching beauty of the young man in brocade robe, the youth's beauty is more restrained, like warm jade, the sword eyebrows are clean and neat but not domineering, the starry eyes are deep but clear, the bridge of the nose is equally high and straight, and the thin lips are equally bright red, but the curvature seems more attractive.

Seeing Fei Minglan staring at him blankly, the young man smiled and raised his lips in a smile. Fei Minglan suddenly felt that thousands of flowers were blooming in front of his eyes, making him dizzy.

Even if she had worked hard to cultivate the "Snow-like Snow", it would not be as shocking as the young man's smile!

How can there be such a beautiful woman in the world, but she is also a man?

No wonder the lecherous and nerdy brother couldn't help but become obsessed and got into trouble in public.

Fei Minglan coughed dryly, tried hard to suppress her pounding little heart, and bowed slightly in the most dignified ladylike manner, saying: "My brother has offended the two of you with his recklessness. I, the little girl, would like to apologize on behalf of my brother."

The young man in the brocade robe slightly raised his chin and looked at Fei Minglan with a harsh look. He saw that she had a slender figure and beautiful facial features. She was obviously a delicate and beautiful girl, but because of the firmness and calmness in her eyes, people couldn't help but be secretly alert and awe-struck.

The young man turned to look at the young man and nodded secretly. His first impression was that this girl was anything but simple. She was not the kind of vase with superficial appearance or a kitsch beauty.

The young man smiled and said, "I acted recklessly and accidentally hurt my brother."

Fei Minglan smiled awkwardly, "It must be nothing serious. It would be good if he could learn a lesson."

The young man said, "We are wise people and don't tell secrets. Miss Fei, if your brother is rude to us, we will be justified even if he files a lawsuit with the government. The reason why we came this time is, firstly, to take advantage of Su Xin Ruxue, and secondly, we want your brother to give us an explanation."

Fei Minglan was greatly surprised. She raised her eyebrows slightly and asked, "Are you the buyer of 'Su Xin Ru Xue'?"

The young man raised his chin slightly and replied proudly: "Huh? No?"

Fei Minglan hurriedly smiled and said: "That little girl is really ignorant of Mount Tai. You are a distinguished guest of our Fei family, so you are neglecting me. Lixia, hurry up and serve some good tea. Let's make the Shifeng Mingqian tea that we just got a few days ago!"

Rikka agreed and went out quickly and silently to prepare.

The young man raised his lips slightly and said with a smile: "Now we are really blessed. The West Lake Longjing is the best at Shifeng, and the Mingqian tea is as precious as gold. The lady is generous."

Fei Minglan smiled and said: "Compared with the distinguished guests, this tea is not worth mentioning."

Chapter 2(2)

West Lake Longjing is produced in the Shifeng, Longjing, Yunqi, Meijiawu and Hupao Village areas in the southwest of West Lake, so there are five categories: lion, dragon, cloud, plum and tiger.

People generally think that Longjing tea produced in Longjing is the most authentic. In fact, the most precious and delicious Longjing tea is produced in Shifeng Mountain. This is why the characters for "lion, dragon, cloud, plum, and tiger" are listed first.

The annual output of Shifeng Mingqian tea is limited, and most of it is used as a tribute to the royal family. It is difficult for ordinary people to buy it for even a tael.

The reason why Fei Minglan was able to serve guests with this top-quality tea was because of the credit of the "Imperial Merchant" of the Fei family.

Although merchants have a low status and are at the bottom of the stream, "imperial merchants" are different after all.The most noble being in this world is the emperor. The royal family to which the emperor belongs is naturally the first in the world. Anyone who can bathe in a little "emperor's favor" can be distinguished, and chickens and dogs can ascend to heaven.

Emperor merchants, with the word "emperor" in front of them, even ordinary officials must be treated with caution and do not dare to offend easily.Because the daily large-scale transactions handled by the Royal Merchant House are tribute products, if something slips through their fingers, they can use it for daily use and experience the high-end enjoyment of "imperial products".

This was a privilege that belonged exclusively to the imperial merchants and was tacitly approved by the emperor.

Of course, the emperor's merchants did not dare to be arrogant. Of course, they would pay tribute with the best items, and the items they used had to be downgraded. If they dared to say that they and the emperor used the same items, it would be hard to chop off even a few heads.

Even so, the good things that the Royal Merchant's House has seen, used, and tasted are indeed much better than those of ordinary officials' houses.

The word "Imperial Merchant" is simple and clear, but the value attached to it is what Fei Minglan values ​​most and is unwilling to give up.

Now that the Fei family is orphaned and widowed, if they lose their "Imperial Merchant" qualification, the family's property will really have no choice but to be slaughtered and embezzled, and the father's lifelong efforts will be in vain.

Li Xia served Shifeng Mingqian tea to the guests, then quietly stepped aside and stood quietly to serve. His actions were generous and decent, and he looked like he was well-trained and well-educated.
