Xu promised to raise his eyes and look at Ye Niangzi, who was in her early thirties, with a thin and long face, delicate and shiny skin, which showed that she was well maintained on weekdays.

did not apply powder, two hostas on his head, wearing a moon-white collared shirt, indigo blue long skirt, bean green folded pattern gown, although thin but outstanding temperament.

"Liuniang, I haven't thanked Ye Niangzi yet. In the future, you must study carefully and don't live up to Ye Niangzi's teachings. Lu Shi looked at Xu Promise gently, with some expectation in his eyes.

Xu nodded and saluted Mrs. Ye: "There is Mrs. Laoye." ”

Ye Niangzi glanced at Xu Promise and said lightly: "Xu Fu invited me to teach the ladies the tea ceremony, I will naturally teach it seriously, not to mention hard work." "I didn't even greet Lu Shi about being seriously ill a few days ago.

Lu didn't say much, said goodbye and left.

The tea room is a two-hall courtyard, there is a circular garden in the courtyard, the main room is used to teach the tea ceremony, the ear rooms on both sides are used to store tea sets, and the other is the place where the maidservants of the ladies who study the tea ceremony on weekdays rest and wait. The east wing room is used to entertain guests on weekdays, and the west wing room is the residence of Ye Niangzi, and several maids serving by Ye Niangzi's side live in the back cover room.

Xu Promise followed Ye Niangzi into the tea room, and smelled the faint fragrance of tea, the aroma entered the nose, and the whole person was much more energetic.

In the previous life, my grandfather loved tea, and my grandmother deliberately went to learn tea art when she was young, and she was completely fascinated by the tea ceremony after being exposed to tea and tea opera, and later she loved tea more than her grandfather. Grandfather has always been made by grandmother to drink tea, grandmother also likes to order tea on the day, and she grew up with her grandfather and grandmother since she was a child, listening to them talk about the tea ceremony, more than 20 years of hearing and seeing, can be regarded as half of the tea understanding.

The main room is very spacious, in addition to Ye Niangzi's tea case, there are three rows of tea cases, two in each row.

The tea case in the east of the first row and the two tea cases in the last row were empty, and Xu Yu didn't think about it, so he went to the first tea case, and when she was about to sit down, Ye Niangzi called out to her.

"This tea case belongs to the fourth lady, and the sixth lady sits on the other one. Ye Niangzi's voice was still not cold, with a somewhat commanding tone.

Xu Promise turned his head and glanced at it, and when he turned his head, the corners of his mouth were hooked, and he said with a smile: "The most distressed thing about the fourth sister is me, presumably she won't say anything when I sit here, Ye Niangzi, are you right?"

She felt that Ye Niangzi was dissatisfied with herself, and even a little contemptuous.

If the impression left on Ye Niangzi in the past is too bad, she will not care, and if she learns the tea ceremony well in the future, Ye Niangzi will naturally slowly improve her opinion of herself. But if it is because of Xu Qianye Niangzi that she treats herself like this, then she will not listen to Ye Niangzi's advice, because some prejudices are difficult to change.

I really don't know how good Xu Qian's tea ceremony is, Ye Niangzi is so maintained.

However, Xu Qian has always known how to please people, otherwise her mother would not treat her as her own daughter.

Ye Niangzi didn't expect Xu Promise to say this, and after a slight pause, she said: "It's the elder and the young, since she is the elder sister, she should also sit in the front row." ”

"Could it be that the fourth sister in this room is the oldest?" asked Xu Promise suspiciously, and at the same time looked sideways around, looking at those who were either contemptuous or disdainful.

There are a total of six ladies in the Xu family, the eldest mother Xu Yan got married the year before last, Xu Qian was grounded, and the second mother and third mother in the tea room are older than Xu Qian, but Xu Qian sat in the first row, not the second row.

Ye Niangzi realized that what she said slapped her face, her face was white and blue, and she coughed and explained: "The third lady is the same age as the fourth lady, but the sixth lady wants to sit here." ”

Xu Promise couldn't help sneering in his heart, but his face was as calm as water, and he couldn't see a trace of abnormality.

At this time, if she sits in the first row, she will inevitably be said to be competitive and not know how to be humble in the future.

"Ye Niangzi, I thought about it carefully, it's better to sit in the back, after all, the fourth sister is older than me. I was not thoughtful just now, and I hope that Mrs. Ye will not blame. A look of guilt appeared on Xu Yue's face, and he saluted Ye Niangzi, and then walked back quickly, sitting in the last row.

Ye Niangzi opened her mouth, but she didn't say anything.

Chuntang followed the promise to the back, placed the tea tray on the tea table, and then placed the teaspoon, bamboo ceremonia, long-handled tea ladle, soup bottle, tea pot, tea mill, tea luo, tea broom, tea cage, tea mortar, and stove needed to be used when ordering tea.

After lighting the fire for the promise, Chuntang withdrew.

staring at a table full of tea sets, I couldn't help but be stunned by the promise.

The Tang people made sencha, the Song people ordered tea, and the Ming Dynasty only appeared to make tea.

She has a lot of theoretical knowledge about ordering tea, but she has never actually operated it.

Whether it was my grandmother ordering tea at home in the past, or watching Mama Li order tea for herself in the past few days, I never realized that I needed so many utensils to order tea.

The ladies of the Xu family learn the piano in the morning and the female workers in the afternoon. Double-day morning practice and afternoon tea ceremony. The course schedule is full.

Half a month later is the day of the tea fight, so the learning time of the tea ceremony has been extended from the usual hour to one and a half hours.

During the break, Xu Erniang turned her head and glanced at Xu Promise, then sat down next to Xu Promise with a smile, and sneered: "I saw you order tea just now, but it is also presentable." ”

Xu Promise looked puzzled, and supported his chin with his elbow on the tea table: "Excuse me, who are you?" The person in front of him is the second daughter of the Ding family, Xu Ling, the second in the family.

From the first day of February to today, except for the second room, no one else in the Xu family has come to visit her except for the Ding family, which shows that the Xu family ignores her.

She remembers very well that Xu Erniang and Xu Qian have a very good relationship, how could they come over to get close to herself?

Xu Erniang seemed to be smiling, picked up the tea cup on the tea table casually, circled around the front of her nose, and poured the tea soup into another tea cup to observe the speed at which the water marks at the bottom of the tea cup appeared. Then he glanced at Ye Niangzi quietly, and said in a low voice: "I'm Erniang, I'm afraid you've forgotten me if you have lost your memory, you and I will learn tea ceremony together in the future, and we will slowly become acquainted." The tea you brew is fragrant, but some places are still not well controlled, and the water marks appear too quickly, and you don't bite the cup at all. The voice seemed very intimate.

"Second sister, I'm a beginner in the tea ceremony, and I still don't understand a lot of things, why don't you point me out one or two?" Xu promised to pretend to be a little white rabbit, his voice was respectful and reverent, and his eyes were shining.

Xu Erniang was very satisfied with Xu Nuo's attitude, pursed her lips and smiled: "It's all a family, what is there to point out or not." The first few times you order tea, you use too much force when you fill the water, so the water marks appear a little faster. These Ye Niangzi have handed over to us earlier, you are now a beginner, if you can do it well without being taught, she will definitely be impressed by you. ”

After finishing speaking, he patted Xu Xing's shoulder, with an expression of "I am optimistic about you", and got up and left without waiting for Xu Xing's answer.

Looking at Xu Erniang's head full of gold ornaments and her slightly fat back, the expression on Xu Promise's face cooled.

What when she's a fool to lie?

The tea soup is thick and sticky to the bottom of the bowl called "bite", the finer the tea particles, the less easy the tea milk to show water marks, the more powerful the blow, the more the tea milk bites. Moreover, the tea is filled with water seven times, and the priority of each blow is required, and it is not the size of the word can be explained.

In her previous life, she watched her grandmother make tea for her grandfather every day, and listened to them talk about various kinds of tea, and these rudimentary knowledge had long been engraved in her mind.

Xu Erniang actually came to fool her!

ps: Tea opera: There are various landscape paintings or flower and bird paintings on the surface of the tea soup, which can be stirred with a tea ladle, or you can control the angle of the spout of the soup bottle when ordering tea. Tea Baixi is very similar to the coffee in coffee shops now, the ancients were so powerful.
