Chapter 1258 Gengzi Juan serves tea

"Bu Suanzi·Yong Mei" is considered to be a very high-level poem among Feng Ziying's plagiarized poems, and it is also a complete poem. Therefore, it caused great repercussions in the same year, and was even widely circulated in Qingtan Academy. , even the girls of the Jia family had heard about it, but Feng Ziying still pretended that he got it from the stone tablet under the cliff. Even if others didn't believe it, he refused to admit it.

But today’s two sentences can be regarded as being pieced together by him. In addition, he forced himself out to ask for a cup of tea, so it makes sense to put them on his own head, and he will accept it.

"Brother Feng, can't these two sentences happen to be found on any wall or stone tablet in this Huocui Nunnery?" The mason suddenly had a whimsical idea, where did he leave traces with his pen and ink, and happened to be met by Brother Feng? And these are only two sentences, it seems that there should be more in the front. "

Feng Ziying was speechless because of Xiuyan's manipulation, and could only hand over her hands and beg for mercy: "Sister Xiuyan, I've only earned one or two things by racking my brains. If you force me again, I won't have anything."

"What's missing?" A cheerful voice sounded outside the door, and Tan Chun's lively face and Xiang Yun's handsome face came in, "Brother Feng is making excuses again, saying what's missing?"

"The third sister came to put a hat on my head. It seems that I have had a hard time eating this cup of tea." Feng Ziying couldn't help sighing, and behind Tanchun and Xiangyun was Daiyu, and then finally It was Baochai and Baoqin. The group of people strolled over and happened to catch up with Xiuyan quarreling with him.

 “Oh?” Several people looked at Miaoyu.

It is so rare for Miaoyu to serve tea. Among the several girls, although they have all had tea in Miaoyu's Cuicui Temple, everyone knows that it is not easy to get this cup of tea. Just looking at that cold face, There are only a few people who are willing to go, and people like Baoyu have not been invited to Cucui'an for years. Most of these girls have to go with Xiuyan to get a cup of tea.

But I have to admit that Miaoyu's tea ceremony is extremely accomplished. From the choice of water, the season of tea, the utensils used to make tea, and the way to taste it before and after meals, they are all very particular. Baochai, Daiyu and Tanchun are all very particular. The girls all come from different backgrounds, but they all have to be Miaoyu's students in this regard.

 Why did Miaoyu change her temper today and actually wanted to serve tea to Feng Ziying? Serving tea to a man has many special meanings. The girls will naturally not think that Miaoyu is serving tea to Baoyu. If this is really the intention, Duobaoyu will not have never set foot in this Cuicui Temple this year. .

Miaoyu felt her heart beating wildly in her chest, her cheeks were getting hot involuntarily, and she wanted to go back to the house to escape, but with so many people here, it would be too rude to leave like this, and it was even more embarrassing. She wanted to hide it, but she just wanted her to serve tea calmly in front of so many people, but she felt panicked, and she would be exposed if she didn't pay attention.

Xiuyan reacted quickly. Seeing that the girls were all a bit curious about Yu Fengcha, she immediately took over the conversation and threw out Feng Ziying's two good sentences. As expected, she immediately attracted the attention of a group of girls and started to joke again. After telling the whole story about the bet, poetry and tea, everyone slowly let go of their suspicions.

After all, these two poems by Feng Ziying are indeed worthy of serving tea, and the meaning of serving tea has been diluted.

"Okay, Sister Miaoyu's water should be boiled too. I heard it's the snow water from the end of last year, plus the Liu'an Guapian and Laojun Mei. By the way, Sister Miaoyu also has this year's frightening fragrance. ,..." Xiuyan introduced with a smile: "It depends on what you sisters like."

The group of people immediately became lively. Feng Ziying is not very particular about drinking tea. These teas are all light-flavored, such as green tea and white tea. You can understand it from the choices of several girls.

There were two nuns in the Cuicui nunnery, they looked to be no more than eleven or twelve years old. They brought tea to Feng Ziying first, but it was a very ordinary-looking green jade bucket, while Baoyu's was an apricot rhinoceros. , and the other girls all use bamboo cups carved with bamboo roots, which is quite elegant.

The Apricot Rhinoceros, which looks like precious jade, is the most valuable, but in terms of elegance, it is the bamboo cup with bamboo roots carved by Panqiu that wins. On the other hand, Feng Ziying's green jade bucket looks plain and ordinary, but only Xiuyan knows that it is for Miaoyu's own use. , no one else can touch it.

Lao Junmei tastes quite bland, and Feng Ziying doesn’t like it very much, but with a group of people sitting upright and sipping tea, he can only be arty.

 …

"Drinking tea at Huocui'an?" Wang Xifeng asked in surprise: "Don't you mean that Miaoyu is so arrogant that she doesn't bother to receive ordinary people? It seems that Baoyu has never been able to enter that Cuicui'an. What's wrong with Brother Keng?" Didn't Miaoyu also say that she has always been unwilling to marry? Why did she change her temper today? "

"I don't know about this, but Uncle Feng is not alone. Miss Lin, Miss Bao, Second Miss, Third Miss and Xiuyan are all here. Except for Grandma Zhu and her sisters, almost everyone else is not there. Went, probably because Miaoyu didn't want to be embarrassed in this situation." Ping'er explained.

"I really thought he was arrogant and independent. Everyone is the same." Wang Xifeng looked down on Miaoyu's temperament, which had nothing to stand out but didn't know how to be generous. In her opinion, this was a disadvantage. She eats too little and has been well protected since she was a child. If she really wants everyone to ignore her and let her hit the wall and suffer a few losses, she will know that the world is not as beautiful as she imagined, and more people will have to Even if you have to swallow your anger, you may not be able to eat enough.

"Grandma has some opinions about Miaoyu." Ping'er doesn't have much dislike for Miaoyu. Although this woman is a bit aloof, her nature is not bad, and she doesn't provoke anyone. She lives in a simple way in the garden, except for Xiu Outside of Yan, he has a slightly closer relationship with the fourth girl, but others remain indifferent, and there is nothing else to say.

"I can't say, but with her attitude, don't expect anyone to like her." Wang Xifeng shook her head, "Brother Keng is just because of Uncle Lin's promise. No man will like such a cold and hard temper, even if there are a few. There are many pretty women around, but is there still a lack of pretty women around Brother Keng?"

"Why is grandma still arguing with her?" Ping'er laughed, "It was just a cup of tea in the Cuicui Temple."

Wang Xifeng glared at Ping'er and said, "Little Hoof, don't mess with me. I've been in a bad mood these past two days."

"Then let's talk about Uncle Feng's affairs. I found an opportunity to talk to Uncle Feng. He didn't say anything. He only said that the matter of redeeming people should be handled according to past practice. He would not intervene and would only provide Some conveniences..." Ping'er spoke concisely and to the point, "I feel that Uncle Feng has made careful arrangements for this matter."

“Do you really think that as a disciple of the current prime minister, you are so easy to fool?” Wang Xifeng sneered, “They are just using us,...”

Ping'er laughed again. She knew that her grandma was still a little jealous after all, but what kind of jealousy was this? They didn't say anything serious about it, but Baochai and Baoqin just married her.

"Using us? But there are so many people who want to be used. Doesn't the eldest master also count?" Ping'er chuckled, "Well, if you can get tens of thousands of taels of silver from being used, I'll probably kowtow and beg you." Those who want to be used by Grandma Suo can be lined up from Fucheng Gate to Chaoyang Gate in the capital city, right?"

Amused by Ping'er's joking tone, Wang Xifeng's heart-blocking anger dissipated a lot. Of course she knew where she was upset, but she knew she knew it, but she was still unhappy, even if it wasn't her turn. Yell.

"It seems like I won't be able to meet you today?" Wang Xifeng said leisurely: "I'm still thinking about saying a few words of appreciation."

It is definitely inappropriate for Feng Ziying to stay in Rongguo Mansion. The two sisters Baochai and Baoqin are still following them. They probably won't have dinner at the mansion. Ping'er smiled and said, "Grandma, we have a long time to come, so there is no need to worry about this." For a while and a half.”

"I don't want to care about it, but these days have passed by in a blink of an eye. As soon as this year is over, he will have to go to Yongping Mansion. How long will it take for him to come back?" Wang Xifeng said calmly: "It's such a big year. I have to talk to him about how to make a living. He says it’s none of his business, but no one knows that this wouldn’t be possible without him. I can’t just pretend to understand. Are you pretending to be confused? That's not how things work. At least we have to give him an explanation."

“Grandma, I think Uncle Feng sincerely promised you this job, and there will be no more fuss, so you don’t have to think too much.” Ping’er half-persuaded and half-explained.

Wang Xifeng didn't speak, and Ping'er was helpless: "Why don't I go talk to Uncle Feng again and find a time, um, for example, to listen to a play in Daguan Tower. Didn't you say you haven't gone out for a long time? Yanzi Tower can't compare to it now. Daguan Tower,…”

Wang Xifeng's heart trembled, and her face suddenly became as hot as fire. She subconsciously wanted to deny it, but her words changed for no reason: "Well, I haven't been able to go out to listen to the theater for a long time. I heard that Daguanlou has produced many new plays in the past two months. Liu Erlang can make countless people go crazy as soon as he appears on the stage. I would also like to see it..."

Ping'er couldn't help pouting. His grandma was like this. She still acted so coyly in front of him. She didn't know how many times she was willing to find such a reason, but she couldn't say such words. Expose it, otherwise grandma's face will be broken, and she will really fall out.

"I understand, I will go and make arrangements now. My servant will also go and say hello..." Ping'er rolled his eyes helplessly and left.

I recommend a book, "Floating Life in the Late Tang Dynasty" by Gu Lingmaike. The style is delicate and I think it suits my taste. It's just that there is too little, so you can savor it slowly.
