Chapter Twenty-Five: Finding the Door
The table was immediately filled with various porcelain jars, the jars contained different kinds of tea, at the bottom of the jar there are posted the specific name, characteristics and origin of the tea, Du Mama pointed to the tea jar at hand and said, "Making tea seems to be very simple, choose tea, prepare utensils, choose water, but there is a deep knowledge in it, learn well, it is the tea ceremony and tea art, if you don't learn well, you can only use it to quench your thirst."

"The same tea leaves taste different when they are brewed by different people's hands. Mama Du looked at Fu Mingxian and said meaninglessly, "Just like the young lady who came out of the same house, she will have a different life in the future." ”
"Miss, don't blame the old slave for talking too much, maybe Miss will think that this kind of trivial matter can be done by the slave, and it is just perfunctory when she learns, but otherwise, no matter where Miss marries in the future, rich or not, the skills are her own, and this is something that no one can snatch. ”
Fu Mingxian nodded heavily, "Thank you for the reminder." ”
In her previous life, when she listened to her grandmother say this, although she did not refute it because of the respect of her master and apprentice, she didn't believe it in her heart, she was the third lady of the favored Guogong Mansion, her father was the second general Fuyuan, her mother was also from a famous family, she was surrounded by countless friends and maids and servants, she lacked nothing, and even some things were sent to the door before she could speak.
But when the prosperity was over, she had a deep understanding of the loneliness in her later years.
Whether Mama Du's words are good or bad, she can still tell the difference.
Mama Du saw that Fu Mingxian really listened to her words, and the relief in her eyes was even more, "There are no more than six conditions for tea people, tea, water, people, utensils, quiet, and elegant." Many people will think that the focus is on the last three points, but in fact, no matter what you do, you must lay a good foundation, and the first three points are the most important. ”
"There are six main types of tea ceremony, black tea, green tea, oolong tea, flower tea, and Zen tea. Among them, black tea and green tea are more common, today to learn black tea, these are all black tea tea classification, tea distinction only depends on the Miss herself's own heart, the old slave is stupid and can not teach Miss any simple method. ”
Fu Mingxian always bowed half-bowed and listened to Mama Du's teachings, in fact, she was very familiar with these teas, but because of the suspicion of others, she didn't say enough, and then said that she wouldn't, "Okay." ”
There is a detailed record in these books. Mama Du's tense face finally showed a little smile, "You are smart, I will check tomorrow." ”
"The old slave went to the residence first to clean up. ”
Mama Du followed Wen Zhu and stepped back, leaving Fu Mingxian on the table to study the scroll.
Magpie Zhi had already grown his mouth in surprise next to him, "Little ...... Miss, you have to remember so much tea?"
"My God, when is this going to be remembered, what is Fu Er Ye going to do when he brought you here?" Quezhi hung his head and stood beside Fu Mingxian in frustration, unable to raise his interest.
The corners of Fu Mingxian's mouth raised slightly, even the magpie capital knew that Fu Yu's mind was not pure, presumably other people with different intentions in the Fu Guogong Mansion had already discovered the clues.
"Take your time, there's nothing to do anyway. Fu Mingxian is in a good mood, if you smell it carefully, you can ask about the fragrance of tea in the room, which is the most relaxing and calm thing.
It's fast, it's really fast.
It's just that Fu Mingxian didn't expect that the first person to come to the door would be Fu Mingqiao.
Fu Mingqiao was wearing a slightly thin skirt embroidered with begonia flowers in Hunan color, and a golden hairpin inlaid with turquoise flowers on his head, "I heard that you are sick, so I came to see you." ”
Fu Mingxian was half-leaning against the window, holding the tea scroll ordered by Mama Du in her hand, and when she saw Fu Mingqiao coming, she didn't get up, but just raised her hand and motioned for Quezhi to move a red pine wood pestle and invite her to sit down.
"Thank you, it's just a small injury, it's good to take care of it like this, and it won't delay doing other things, and it's hard for the fourth sister to visit in person. ”
Fu Mingqiao sent the pastries he brought to Quezhi's hand, and glanced at the various tea leaves on the small table by the window, "Why is Sister Heng very interested in the tea ceremony?"
"Why didn't you ask someone to do it, but did it yourself?"
Fu Mingxian said casually, "The second uncle came in the morning, and he brought a grandmother who said that he wanted me to follow the rules well, so as not to displease the old lady when the time comes." ”
Fu Mingqiao looked at Fu Mingxian tentatively, her willow eyebrows frowned slightly, "Sister Heng......"
"Huh?" Fu Mingxian stopped what she was doing, raised her head and smiled, "Fourth sister, do you have any advice?"
Fu Mingqiao's eyes sank, as if he had made some decision, "Don't you really know why? Father will never be kind to others for no reason." ”
"Why?" Fu Mingxian was very cooperative, the red plum by the window lattice was a little eye-catching in the cloisonne porcelain vase, and Fu Mingxian's smile was harmless to people and animals.
Fu Mingqiao looked at Fu Mingxian like this and was stunned for a while, "I still remember the first time I saw you, I said, you seem to be a person, and now you look at the way you hold the tea book, it looks more like ......." ”
"It's my third cousin, and what she does best is the tea ceremony...... You thought it was just me who was too careful, but now it's ....... Fu Mingqiao's face turned pale, with regret and panic in his eyes, "The third cousin was ...... back then ...... was promised by his grandmother to become the overseer of the West Factory."
Fu Mingxian's affairs at that time could be regarded as a sensation, the eunuchs and palace maids in the Ming Palace became opposites, but they were all comforting each other in private and staying together quietly, not like Fu Mingxian and Wang Yan, who were tacitly agreed by Wan Guifei to talk about it on the surface.
Fu Mingqiao mentioned this, how could he understand her voiceover, it was nothing more than reminding her that Fu Yu wanted her to be the second Fu Mingxian.
Under normal circumstances, Fu Mingxian should be surprised and annoyed, after all, who would want to be someone else's shadow, or become the eunuch's opponent, but Fu Mingxian did not have these emotions, on the contrary, she was very curious, curious about what Fu Mingqiao took the initiative to show goodwill.
Because she is really Fu Mingxian, she knows that the relationship with Fu Mingqiao when she was alive is not a mortal enemy, but she can't be said to be close.
When I was alive, I didn't see her for half a word of comfort, but when I died, I could hear her regret, which was really funny.
"So what does the fourth sister want to say to me?" Fu Mingxian suddenly stopped what she was doing and looked up at Fu Mingqiao, "Since the fourth sister has already come, she must have already figured out her position." ”
"Are you willing to be used by others?" Fu Mingqiao felt a chord in his heart.
"I don't want to. ”
Fu Mingxian shook her head with a smile, and began to look at the scroll in her hand again, "This is not something I can refuse, your own father, shouldn't he know better than me, my family has been taken to the Fu Guo Mansion, what do you want me to do? Take the lives of your mother and brother to say no?"
"You already knew. Fu Mingqiao looked at Fu Mingxian with a determined gaze, "You already know your father's intentions." ”
