Chapter 164 - The Princess' Young Ambitions
"Yes, yes. I know you're the richest man."
Hearing Jun Shiling's words, Xia Wanyuan nodded.
Seeing that Xia Wanyuan did not understand his hint, Jun Shiling added, "If you want to drink tea in the future, you can send it directly from here to Beijing."
"Sure." Xia Wanyuan was delighted.
She did not even care about that jar of Snowing in the Wind, so she naturally did not recall that jar of tea.
At this moment, the sun had already risen completely. In the distant tea field, there were already tea farmers picking the tea leaves.
The person in charge of the tea house suddenly received the news and rushed over to welcome Jun Shiling.
"It's time to pick new tea. Let's try it," Jun Shiling suggested and Xia Wanyuan nodded.
Taoism was popular on Wuyishan. The teahouse was hidden in the clouds. From the outside, it looked a little like a Taoist temple and had a hint of immortal aura.
The in-charge brought Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan around a few limestone roads. When the day was about to crack, a waterfall hung in the mountains. It was as silver as a sword and as colorful as pearls.
Since ancient times, the Chinese had pursued an artistic mood. Other than the quality of tea, tea tasting was also the spiritual elegance of this space.
The tea house was built beside the mountain. In the distance, there was a hundred foot waterfall. In front of the door, there was a mountain spring winding around. The entire tea house was made of green bamboo. When placed in it, it emitted a faint bamboo fragrance.
The person in charge took out the top-notch Da Hong Pao, which he had just plucked, and soaked it in the natural mountain spring of Wuyishan.
Xia Wanyuan picked it up and took a sip. Compared to the old tea, the new tea was less mellow, but it had a freshness to it, as if she had drunk a mouthful of the poetry of early summer.
The turmoil in the company and the turmoil in the entertainment industry over the past few days seemed to have disappeared in a single sip of tea.
There was silence in the house for a moment. The two of them sat on a bamboo stool by the window and drank tea while looking out the window at the deep clouds and fog.
One of the main reasons Xia Wanyuan liked to spend time with Jun Shiling was that Jun Shiling was a person who knew his limits. Just like now, when she was quietly thinking about things, Jun Shiling would sit silently by the side, making her feel very relaxed.
After learning the name of the mountain from Jun Shiling, Xia Wanyuan didn't have much of an understanding of the Chinese territory a thousand years later, so she searched on the map.
"Is this place very close to the sea?" Xia Wanyuan suddenly asked.
The Xia Dynasty's active territory was roughly in China's current Shangan region. It was located inland, and a thousand years ago, without the current high-speed rail, Xia Wanyuan had never gone outside the Xia Dynasty's territory.
However, when she was young, she had once seen a strange book in her father's study. It recorded that there was a boundless body of water where beautiful scenery and strange objects were completely different from the land.
Xia Wanyuan pestered her father and asked many questions. After learning that the beautiful pearl corals were mined from that mysterious water, Xia Wanyuan was very much looking forward to this mysterious sea.
At that time, the Xia Emperor had also promised Xia Wanyuan that he would take her to see the largest and most beautiful pearl in the sea on her tenth birthday.
Unfortunately, when she was ten years old, she only saw the largest and most popular sea of blood. Her father, who promised to take her to see the pearl coral, had left her forever.
Later on, chaotic times passed and the dynasty revived. She became the person in charge and had the most beautiful pearl coral in the country, but she had never seen the ocean she had dreamed of when she was young.
"It's a little far," Jun Shiling put down his cup and replied. The nearest sea area was about 500 kilometers from Wuyishan.
"Mm," Xia Wanyuan replied. If it was so far away, then forget it.
Jun Shiling was originally looking at the waterfall outside the window. Unexpectedly, he turned around and glanced at Xia Wanyuan, catching a hint of regret in her eyes.
The phone rang. Jun Shiling glanced at Xia Wanyuan, then stood up and avoided her, which was rare of him. He took the phone and walked out the door.
After a while, Jun Shiling returned.
"The meeting that was supposed to be held tomorrow was delayed, so we can go back a day later. Since we're already here, why don't we go to the beach and take a look?"
"Really? Okay." Xia Wanyuan's eyes were bright, making Jun Shiling's heart itch.
"Let's go. There's a helicopter outside to pick us up."
In the Beijing Mansion,
"Good child, what did your father say to you?" The old master asked as he hugged Xiao Bao on his lap.
"Daddy said that he and Mommy went to work in Fujian and asked me to accompany great-grandfather obediently," Xiao Bao replied softly. "Great-grandfather, Daddy and Mommy work so hard. They still have to work during the holidays."
The old master thought for a while. What other business did Fujian have other than the tea manor? Jun Shiling did not have to do the work there himself. After thinking for a while, an understanding smile suddenly appeared in the old master's eyes.
"Your parents are busy, so stay here and accompany me." Old Master stroked his great-grandson's soft hair. "My good boy, do you want a younger brother or sister?"
"Am I going to have a sister??" Xiao Bao looked at the old man with sparkling eyes. He wanted a sister who was as beautiful as a sheep!
"Haha, maybe we'll have one soon." The old man laughed and played with Xiao Bao.
Although it was a little far, it was fortunate that there was a helicopter that could take the shortest route. After about two hours, the helicopter stopped by the coast.
When the person in charge of the local resort received the news, he cleared the area early and left the entire sea area to Jun Shiling.
As soon as she alighted the helicopter, a moist sea breeze blew over. Xia Wanyuan looked up and saw a scene even more dazzling than what she had seen on television.
The endless blue sea was constantly rolling with waves that rushed to the beach. In the blue sky, large white clouds were piled together like a huge cotton candy mountain, white and soft.
On the golden beach, green tropical trees stood. The breeze seemed to carry a bright aura.
Xia Wanyuan walked towards the beach. She was originally wearing high heels, but the moment she reached the beach, her heels sank in. Xia Wanyuan took off her shoes and stepped barefoot on the soft sand, feeling the exquisite sand pass through her toes.
Lunch was under a coconut tree. A tablecloth was spread over the table, and the two of them sat around and ate.
Eating in the wilderness was a very common thing for Xia Wanyuan, who was used to marching and fighting, but it was the first time for Jun Shiling.
After lunch, Xia Wanyuan picked up shells by the sea and played with the sand.
Having lived for two lifetimes, this was the first time Xia Wanyuan had seen the sea, so she found it very novel.
Jun Shiling sat on a leisure chair not far away. Jun Shiling could not leave the Jun Corporation. He had already delayed a lot of things the past two days, so Jun Shiling could only guide his work in the form of a video conference.
However, everyone clearly realized that during CEO Jun's meeting today, his eyes would unconsciously drift outside, as if he kept looking at something.
