107 Tea making
Today's habit is to use more group tea, grind into minced powder, and add salt to decoction depending on the number of people, so I occasionally moved, wanting to make tea like in the previous life, but the hall is full of large and small tea powder in boxes, Wei Huan didn't understand what I meant, and only need to take the tea powder to fry, I was busy with her, and asked someone to go to the library to get a ball of tea cakes, cut a small piece with a knife, and carefully break the tea leaves, Wei Huan has never seen such a way to drink tea, bent over, curiously reached out and pinched the tea leaves, and asked me: "Can you drink the tea brewed like this?"
I rarely saw her curious, and deliberately wanted to sell it, so I put the carefully selected dozen or so complete purple bamboo shoot leaves in the tea bowl, and said with a smile: "I don't know, just try it." ”
Wei Huan clapped his hands and got up and said: "If Erniang wants to try a new way of making tea, it is good to use some Luofu tea and Lingnan tea, what to do with these purple bamboo shoots, a total of ten catties of things, such a cut, two catties." ”
I didn't pay attention to the tea when I took it, then I looked at it, only to see that it was really Huzhou "purple bamboo shoots", this is the parents when they inspected by chance by someone to offer, my mother likes its taste clear, but I think that Changgong disturbs the people, only asked people to go to Huzhou to buy once, and there is no custom of Tugong, so there are not many in the palace, I only have a cake and ten catties here, I have only drunk it once, that time Wei Huan also drank it, I think this tea is excellent, I want to give it to her, she refused, said that it was useless, so that others could not see it well. I rolled my eyes, deliberately cut another knife, and always cut this tea cake into seven or eight taels, and only selected a small handful of them, put them in one place, and ignored the rest, Wei Huan took a deep breath and said, "Don't you want all this tea?"
I smiled and said, "I just need the whole tea leaves, these are scattered, I don't like it, if you like it, just take it, or throw it away." ”
She glanced at me with a little reproach, stretched out her hand to gather the scattered purple bamboo shoots together, and said with a smile: "In this case, I will thank the lady for the reward." ”
When I saw that she was willing to accept it, I immediately smiled and said, "If you like it, take this bread, I don't want it." Who knew that it was overdone, she suddenly understood what I meant, and pursed her lips: "Lady doesn't have to be like this." ”
I was afraid that she would be angry, so I hurriedly changed my words and said, "It's just a joke, it's only ten catties in total, how can I give it up? ”
Wei Huan seemed to be a little crying and laughing, the corners of his mouth twitched, he looked at me fixedly, and said again: "Lady doesn't have to be like this." ”
She hadn't looked at me like this for a long time, her eyes were shining, as if she could see through anything, I felt weak for no reason, and hurriedly got up and said, "What is so not so, you and I play dumb riddles? I don't understand." "Holding the tea bowl out, the stove was prepared outside, and a pot of Jinsha spring water was boiled, I waved away the palace people who boiled the water, and squatted to open the lid of the pot, who knew that the lid of the pot was already hot, I only touched it and withdrew my hand, Wei Huan saw it behind me, and came to see my hand, I urged her: "You don't care about me, look at the water boiling." ”
She glared at me and blew on my fingers before turning back to remove the lid, and I hurriedly said, "Be careful." She didn't look back and said, "Erniang, don't worry, I... Hiss. But she was also burned.
I laughed so much that I almost couldn't hold the bowl, and I wanted to look at her hand again, but she hid her hand behind her to prevent me from looking, but said to the palace who was watching the water: "Do you see if the water is boiling?"
The palace man lay on the side and said, "It's time to boil, you can put tea." ”
Wei Huan looked at me, and I said, "Don't boil it, you wait until it's all boiling, take a spoonful of water." Instruct her to pour the tea bowl when the water is boiling, put it warm under the corridor, ask Wei Huan to sit on the edge of the corridor face to face with me, and arch her hand: "Wei Siniang, taste the tea I made." ”
Wei Huan glanced at me, took out his hand slowly, carefully picked up the tea bowl, looked at the color carefully, hesitantly put it to his mouth and took a sip, tasted it for a moment, and said, "Light." ”
I said: "If you say this, you don't understand the wonders, the taste of tea is to be clear and light, and you always drink that big salt and marinade, what's the meaning." ”
She listened thoughtfully, took another sip, tilted her head and said, "The aftertaste is sweet, and it is not bad to drink occasionally." After taking another sip, he put down the tea bowl and asked me, "Erniang has something to ask me?" The lake is too far away, so it is better to talk about it under this corridor. ”
I looked around left and right, and saw that this place had a wide field of vision and was facing the courtyard, which was indeed a good place for conversation, so I retreated and said to Wei Huan: "Today, A-Niang showed me a few letters. ”
Wei Huan raised his eyebrows, as if he was not surprised.
I hesitated for a moment before I said, "Prince... I have already told Ah Niang about what I said. ”
Wei Huan held the tea bowl in his hand, slowly turned to the courtyard, sat cross-legged, and said, "Erniang decided to follow His Majesty, but she didn't know the bottom in her heart?"
I shook my head: "Mother will win, completely." "Although my father's body is a big variable, I prefer to trust my mother.
Wei Huan looked at me in surprise, as if she didn't expect me to be so firm, and I also followed her example and faced the courtyard, with her hands behind her and her legs
Drooping down the corridor, swinging in the air, after a while, Wei Huan said: "I dare to say a word, Erniang don't be angry." ”
I said, "You say." ”
She lowered her head and whispered while fiddling with the hem of her shirt: "Your Majesty is suspicious by nature. I have been reading the history books recently, for example, those who are suspicious, the most taboo others are uncertain, the first two ends, if Erniang wants to stand on His Majesty's side, he must be firm and honest, not hesitating. ”
I nodded, "I can save it." ”
She paused, and then said: "That is the case, if Your Majesty and Erniang say something, Erniang should not ask others about everything, if there is a decision, I would rather ask Your Majesty directly, than... Leaking forbidden Chinese secret words. ”
My heart sank, turned my head to look at her, she looked up into the distance, her hands behind her back, her legs swinging in the air: "There are some things, I can consult for Erniang, and some things, I'm afraid that Erniang still don't ask me, one is lest I don't understand the affairs of the court and have the wrong idea, and then I'm afraid that Your Majesty will be unhappy if he knows." I... After all, he is a person in the harem, and there is no grade. ”
After I established my authority for her, I played my mother, please give Wei Huan a gift, who knew that my mother approved Song Foyou's grade, and allowed me to recall several palace people who were close to her in the past to be on duty, but she did not say anything about Wei Huan's identity. Therefore, although she is quite decent with me, she is still not embarrassed or embarrassed, and she has no quality and no position. But apart from Wei Huan, I don't have anyone else to discuss here, do you really want me to ask my mother?
Wei Huan seemed to perceive my thoughts, smiled, and said: "If Erniang really wants to find someone to discuss, Mo Ruo go and ask a few masters, I heard that they are all close ministers relied on by His Majesty, and they are often summoned to consult." ”
I didn't know Miao Shenke very well, so I hesitated: "Ask them about these things, I'm afraid it's not good?"
Wei Huan said: "You don't have to be so straightforward, maybe you can mention it in class." Besides, His Majesty's choice of them as the second mother's master is not just for the purpose of the Senate?"
I thought about it, but I was reluctant, and muttered, "It would be nice if Cui Er was here." She sometimes talked to me about current affairs, but she was quite to the point. I didn't tell her directly, I only asked a couple of questions about the previous story, and it must be fine. ”
Wei Huan snorted, as if she was disdainful, I knew that she didn't like Cui Mingde, so I hurriedly said: "I only mention this sentence, isn't it the same as asking you? You are still close to me, who is she!"
Wei Huan said: "Erniang doesn't need to lift me up like this, I know she's good, but no matter how powerful she is, it will be like this in the future, it's not worth being Erniang." ”
I was puzzled, and wanted to ask Wei Huan, but Wei Huan said: "Why is Erniang not wearing socks?" There is so much ice in the middle of the hall, and the ice on the ground is thorough, and I am not afraid of chilblains when I walk like this." ”
I heard her say chilblains, unconsciously lowered her head and withdrew her legs, cross-legged to look at the soles of her feet, she smiled: "There are chilblains in April, and Erniang believes me." ”
I knew that I was coaxed by her, but I didn't feel angry, I only felt happy, and it was best for her to be so close to me all the time: "It's quite cold in the hall, maybe it's really going to have chilblains, I'll put on a dress." ”
She laughed again, got up while laughing, and said, "Does Erniang know what chilblains are?" ”
I said, "Why don't you know? Isn't it the thing that froze out in the winter? I was born a long time ago, and I often gave birth. ”
She stood on her feet in shock, and looked back at me, her eyes were full of disbelief, and I was about to explain, thinking that this was a matter of my previous life, and it was difficult to say, so she said nonsense: "Do you think that if I am a princess, I am not a human being? When it is cold, it is the same as you, where it should be frozen, it will freeze, and when the chilblain appears, it will itch very much, and it will break, but it is uncomfortable." ”
Wei Huan looked at me suspiciously, walked into the hall, and after a while, came out with a pair of Luo socks, knelt on the ground, bent down and said, "In this case, I will serve the lady and wear it." ”
I also squatted down and said, "Don't work for you, I'll come by myself." Afraid that she would not, he explained: "King Zhou Wenwang's socks are all self-knotted, I wear double socks, and I can do it myself." ”
She glanced at me, didn't say thank you to me for treating her as a virtuous minister, but when I lowered my head and put on my socks, she called "Erniang" without a head, and when I looked up at her, she didn't say anything, just smiled at me, and a shallow whirlpool bloomed on her left cheek, like a flower blooming. 166 Reading Network
