Chapter 166: The Test

Old Man Chen's Yusheng Garden actually walked for almost a quarter of an hour to arrive, and when he saw the gate of the courtyard, the green-clothed maid stopped and saluted: "The slaves and maids of Yusheng Garden can't enter!" Please go in by yourself! ”

The old man Chen moved out of the main house of the Chen Mansion nine years ago, saying that he was old and afraid of trouble, and he didn't like to be lively, so he insisted on picking the most remote northeast corner of the garden and setting up a separate garden, named Yusheng Garden.

The most outrageous thing is that the old man also ordered someone to open two separate doors in and out of the outside street in this Yusheng Garden, and drove out the maids and women, only raising four small servants, and living a small life of isolation.

Usually, the door of his courtyard is not opened, only during the New Year's Festival, when children and grandchildren come to visit, the Yusheng Garden is open for a short time. And in his courtyard, he usually cooks and purchases, and he is also self-sufficient, and he no longer has any relationship with the Chen Mansion.

Therefore, most of the Chen family didn't know anything about this Yusheng Garden, and many people didn't even have a serious old lady a few times.

At this moment, there was already a young man with clean eyebrows and eyes waiting at the gate of the courtyard, and after asking the girl in green clothes, he introduced Shen Moyun into the courtyard.

With just one glance, Shen Moyun felt an indescribable weirdness in this courtyard.

Unlike ordinary people's homes, there is no gorgeous flowers and the harmony of fish play and blue waves, and there are no pavilions, rockeries and rocks.

There are only a few dozen non-slip cobblestone paths, which are so long that there is no end in sight, and they wind deep into a large bamboo forest. There is also a thin shallow stream, but it surrounds this bamboo forest again.

Shen Moyun didn't see a brick or tile, a house or a pavilion, it seemed that there was nothing else in this courtyard except this forest, and the cold wind blew through the bamboo forest and made a rustling sound, which inexplicably gave people a feeling of cold isolation.

In this way, the main house of this courtyard was actually built in the depths of the bamboo forest? Or at the end of the bamboo forest?

But this criss-crossing path under your feet? Isn't it ......?

No wonder, this lonely yard does not need to be guarded by guards, only a small door is needed to prevent theft!

I'm afraid that even if ordinary people have the ability to come in, they don't have the ability to find people or things!

"Miss Shen, our old lady is waiting for the girl in the depths of the bamboo forest, and it is inconvenient to lead the way. Invite the girl to take care of herself! With that, the little guy flashed to the gate of the courtyard, waiting with great interest to see Shen Moyun enter the bamboo forest.

She couldn't help but smile bitterly, doesn't this old lady still have to test herself?

Merely. Was this old man interested in the gossip of the five elements, or because he didn't want to be disturbed, so he designed such a labyrinth array of forests? Or, this old lady Chen also has some secrets, afraid of being discovered. It took so much effort?

"Yao Huang, follow closely!"

She is the niece of the Qin family and the apprentice of Guanshan, how could such a small labyrinth array not get out?

This is the first time Yao Huang has seen the true skills of her girl, after entering the forest for more than ten breaths, she can no longer distinguish between east and west, north and south, and she can't tell the way from and from like a ghost hitting a wall!

There seemed to be countless cobblestone paths that looked the same under their feet, and they couldn't finish walking, and the bamboos that covered the sky and the sun all looked exactly the same to her, and there was no difference.

She could only clasp her girl's hand tightly. Listening to the muttering of her master, "Kun Er, Kan Yi ......", she walked back and forth in the bamboo forest.

After walking about two or three hundred steps, their front finally opened up, and a two-story hut made entirely of bamboo appeared in front of them.

This sudden feeling of enlightenment was really good, and the two of them couldn't help but exhale at the same time.

At this time, in addition to the faint fragrance of bamboo leaves, there is also a faint fragrance of tea, flowers and pastries lingering from the end of the nose.

Looking closely, the main house is surrounded by patches of cold orchids and spring orchids, which are blooming wantonly at the moment.

Now. Finally, a little maid noticed the two, smiled and came forward to salute, and led the two around to the other side of the main house.

At this time, the owner of this courtyard finally showed up. At the age of more than sixty, his temples are gray, his eyes are sharp, and he is only wearing a gray robe, but he can't hide the wisdom and extraordinary popularity of his elegant literati. Isn't this the old lady Chen who he often visited when he was a child!

This old man Chen didn't get up, only raised his eyes and looked at Shen Moyun. Satisfied smiled: "Yun'er is here?" ”

Although the words were simple, the intimate tone and tone were very warm, as if they had been very close and had never broken off contact all these years.

When Shen Moyun heard this, his heart was inexplicably hot, and his eyes were red.

After Mrs. Chen finished speaking, she lowered her head again, and continued to fight the black and white things in her hand with the man opposite on the bamboo table.

Shen Moyun bowed respectfully, and then raised his head to carefully examine the other person.

The man was about thirty years old, with eyebrows and sideburns, deep eyes, and an indescribable sense of elegance and dignity. Even though he is very relaxed at the moment, the brilliance and bearing faintly emanating from his body are still despised!

The man looked up at himself with curiosity at this time, and when he saw that the little woman was also looking at him, he smiled slightly.

Shen Moyun collided with his gaze, but he was a little embarrassed, his face couldn't help but turn red, and he hurriedly saluted this son.

"Yun'er, do you know how to make tea?" Old Man Chen touched his beard and said, "If you don't bother, make a pot for the two of us!" ”

"Yes!"

On the edge of this bamboo table, there are a few, a handover bed. There is already a wind stove, an incense burner, a fire, green bamboo clips, paper bags and other more than a dozen kinds of tea cooking tools are also readily available.

Shen Moyun secretly sighed that this old man Chen is really a gentleman, you know, in the past hundred years of the Great Zhou Dynasty, very few people still like this complicated way of cooking tea in the Tang and Song dynasties. Generally, people who are elegant, at most, buy a purple clay pot and flush it with boiling water, which is both elegant and convenient.

But fortunately, the little skill of making tea is still difficult for her!

Waking up tea, grinding tea, and sifting tea have all been done, and she only needs to start from frying and mixing water.

"It's actually bamboo leaf snow water!"

Shen Moyun's muttered words were very low, but they attracted the attention of the two players at the same time.

I really didn't expect that a young girl would have such a sensitive nose!

I saw that her movements were skillful and elegant, all in one go, ordering tea, soup, and whisking seemed to be just right, although I don't know what the heat is, but from her full of confidence and skillful skills, this tea will not be bad.

The two couldn't help but smile at each other, but they didn't expect that this little girl was not only elegant and intelligent, but also walked out of the old lady's gentleman's formation, and she could understand the tea fighting skills of this Chinese medicine!

Sure enough, people should not be disgraced!

In the end, after she struck the first cup of tea, she immediately grabbed it with a gaiwan and respectfully handed it to the man she didn't know.
