Xu Gucheng was stunned, did Liu Niang think of a piece with him?

"Yes. ”

Although Xu Gucheng was extremely reluctant to participate in the tea man competition, he couldn't let Xu Qian step into this black whirlpool alone and ignore it, no matter what the purpose of her sudden appearance at the tea man competition was, he, as a father, had the responsibility to protect her.

Xu Gucheng straightened his sleeves and stood up, ready to go and talk to the Lu family about it.

I don't want to be pulled by my sleeves as soon as I stand up.

When he looked down, he saw Xu Promise looking up, smiling like a flower, and said to him, "Daddy, I'll go." ”

Xu promised that she knew that she lacked cultivation in the tea ceremony, but she was also confident that she was better than Xu Qian, at least she would not lose so badly as Xu Qian when she went to participate in the tea competition, which would ruin the reputation of the Xu family.

Xu Gucheng was worried that Xu Qian's participation in the competition would ruin Xu Qian's own reputation, but Xu Yu was simply worried that Xu Qian would ruin the reputation of the Xu family.

As for Xu Qian's reputation, she really didn't have the extra heart to take care of.

What's more, she wouldn't worry about such a vicious person.

Xu Gucheng's eyes changed, and he nodded to promise.

Xu promised to let go of Xu Gucheng's sleeves, stood up obediently, and said seriously: "Dad told his daughter before that the tea man test was the reason, and the daughter didn't want to touch the slightest, but now that the fourth sister has participated, the Xu family can be regarded as implicated, so it is better to let her daughter go too, my daughter still has some confidence in the tea ceremony." ”

"Liuniang, the tea ceremony is an elegant art, the tea people in Bianjing have all changed their taste, and now Siniang goes alone. Daddy is already disappointed and doesn't want you to go too. Xu Gucheng looked at Xu Promise gently and stroked her shoulder. Motioned for her to stay in the study.

His disappointment with Xu Qian has existed since he came to Beijing last year, and the disappointment is even worse at this time.

never thought that the daughter he had raised for more than ten years would become like this now.

would go to Beijing alone without telling his family, and actually went to participate in the competitions that he emphasized many times that he should not be messed with.

His teaching to Siniang over the years has been such a result, he is really derelict as a father!

Although Xu Yu didn't care about Xu Qian's reputation, Xu Gucheng's reputation was very important to her.

When Xu Gucheng's words fell, she hugged his arm and said coquettishly: "Daddy." The four sisters are gone, you let me go too, go and see what is going on. Let your daughter be willful once, and her daughter will never let Xufu's reputation be flawed. ”

Looking at Xu Promise's expectant gaze, Xu Gucheng was a little hesitant in his heart.

At this time, Lu's voice came from outside the study: "Master." I accompanied Liuniang to the eldest princess's mansion. Don't go. ”

Xu Gucheng turned his head, nodded after being silent for a while, and then said, "Wanniang, in this way, you will bother." ”

It's not that he doesn't understand the thoughts of his wife and daughter, and considering all the things, he can only wronged them first.

Then Xu Gucheng sent someone to the Eldest Princess's Mansion to sign up, and Lu Shi and Xu Promise went to bathe and change clothes as quickly as possible.

Soon after, the two took a carriage to the eldest princess's mansion. I brought a tea set that will be used later and a new tea from this year.

Lu had a red clover flower on his forehead and was wearing a large brown sleeve. The light green skirt is embroidered with a lotus pattern, which matches the lotus leaf pattern embroidered on the shoes. The hair is only decorated with a pair of hostas and an ivory grate, and there are only two small pearls on the ears.

Lu's outfit is matched early, as long as there is a similar occasion, it can be taken out and worn directly.

The promised wardrobe is not so clearly classified, and all the outfits she wore today were hastily matched by Chuntang just now.

She had a green flower on her forehead, a goose yellow twig pattern gown, a moon-white eight-panel long skirt, and a more concise hair ornament on her head than Lu's, only a wooden hairpin, her ears and neck were clean, and she didn't wear anything.

Dressed like this, her facial features are even more beautiful, like a person walking out of an ink painting.

When the two got off the carriage, someone came to receive them, and after walking through the long verandah, they arrived at the place of the tea fight.

This season is the time when the peach blossoms are at their peak, and you can smell the aroma of peach blossoms when you go all the way to the tea fight.

The branches and leaves are intertwined, the stamens are flourishing, and the fragrance is pleasant.

Under the peach tree, there are two rows of pear blossom trees with short feet, and behind the low table are full of tea drinkers.

And in front of the two rows of tables, there is only one large table, and there is a tea tray on the table, which is full of tea sets.

On the side of a few stands a Dengfeng kiln white glaze green color pearl ground scratch flower entwined branch flower six-tube bottle, which checked a few half-opened peach blossoms.

Xu Promise came in to see such a scene, and her mind went back to when she first traveled to Suzhou a year ago.

At that time, it was also peach blossoms and tea fights......

The county lord of Jiaren is the one who evaluates tea, and he sits next to the eldest princess of the Sui Kingdom, and she sees it as soon as she comes in.

I was about to turn my head and say something to the eldest princess, but I heard the eldest princess of Sui say to the grandmother on the side: "Go and ask Lu Qiniang to come over." ”

The expression on the face of the county lord of Jiaren paused, and then he held back the doubts on his face and sat upright, his eyes falling on Xu Qian in the distance.

Xu Qian sat at the very edge, and when she saw Lu Shi and Xu Yu coming in, the whole person sat up a little straighter.

She was wearing her favorite match today, a blue skirt and a white skirt, and a set of gold head noodles on her hair, which was prepared for her by the county lord of Jiaren, and she just laughed secretly before accepting it, and did not refuse.

The Lu family greeted the eldest princess of Sui with a promise.

"The concubine has seen the eldest princess. ”

"I've seen the eldest princess of the Sui Kingdom. ”

The eldest princess of the Sui Kingdom nodded slightly, and said, "Liuniang, since you want to fight tea, go to the next table and wait, how about Mrs. Xu taste tea with me?"

The opening is to invite the Lu family to be a tea taster.

When others heard this simple conversation, they were all secretly surprised, the eldest princess of the Sui Kingdom was so close to the Lu family and Xu Liuniang?

How many people begged to be a tea taster for this year's tea people competition were rejected by the eldest princess of the Sui Kingdom, but now they took the initiative to invite the Lu family!

And he directly called Xu Liuniang Liuniang, so intimate, it is really surprising.

Lu ignored the gazes of others, and agreed to sit next to the eldest princess of Sui State, while Xu Yu nodded obediently and retreated to the back, standing beside Xu Qian.

"Why are you here?" Xu Promise looked forward, and Banhao's gaze did not fall on Xu Qian.

"Naturally, I have a purpose, do you think I will marry Zhang Ziye obediently?" Xu Qian's voice was a little mocking, she had already torn the skin with Xu Promise, and there was no need to hide it.

"How do I know? Aren't you interested in having a concubine with the cousin of the Zhang family? How can you be unwilling?" Xu Yu looked at the tea man who was ordering tea not far away, with a faint smile on his face.

The essence of the tea competition in Bianjing is also tea fighting, and the difference with Suzhou's tea fighting is not that the contestants take the test together, but everyone ranks up in order and proceeds in turn. (To be continued......)
