Chapter 129: Touching with Tea
It was already very hot in May, and Dugu Weiwei took a canopy car and hung down the gauze tent on the top, so that it was breathable and could block the sun. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Dugu Weiqing had greeted his future father-in-law in advance, so Cixiu didn't go out and waited at home.
When Dugu Weiwei and Dugu Weiqing were welcomed in by Ciyue, Cixiu, Mrs. Ci, a young man of twenty-five or sixteen years old, and a young woman were waiting in the banquet hall.
Dugu Weiwei followed his brother to greet everyone in the house. The young man was Ci Yue's second brother Ci Jin, and the young woman was Ci Jin's wife, Su Shi.
Dugu Weiqing often comes, so many people are waiting here to treat Dugu Weiwei, a small guest.
The masters of the Ci family in the mansion all came to see the guests, showing the importance of Dugu Weiwei, the future in-law lady. Dugu Wei only understood in his heart, so his expression became more and more respectful.
After seeing the guests, Ci Jin and his wife said that they had something to do and left. Dugu Weiwei found that Ci Jin looked a little familiar, and after thinking about it, he had really seen it.
On the day of Dugu Weiqing's release of the list, when they were about to leave, a young man in a light green official robe bowed his head from afar, and Dugu Weiqing did not go over to greet him, but his expression was quite respectful.
Dugu Wei only expected that Ci Jin was going to see the results of his future brother-in-law Chun Yu that day, and the marriage between the two families had not yet been agreed on that day, no wonder he didn't come over to say hello.
After Ciyue instructed her subordinates to serve tea, she instructed Dugu Weiwei to go to her courtyard to sit down after speaking, and left.
Cixiu smiled: "This tea is still stained with Miss Dugu's light, so we can drink it in our house, and take it out to entertain Miss Dugu, which is really called borrowing the Buddha's flowers to offer to the real Buddha." ”
Mrs. Ci also said: "Since I drank the tea sent by Miss Dugu and Chen, the tea in our house is considered to be unpopular." ”
"Uncle and aunt are too foreign, just call me by name." Dugu Weiwei said with a smile: "If the eldest brother has any good things, he should honor the second elder first." The niece is also fine, and the uncle and aunt don't dislike it. There are also some other teas here, which were just made and brought back a month ago, and my uncle and aunt can still eat them when they taste them. ”
Ding Ding behind him heard this, and hurriedly handed over the box containing the spring warbler's orchid, and Dugu Weiwei personally held it and presented it.
Dugu Weiqing explained on the side: "This tea grows on the Hump Mountain in Benzhou, there are only about a dozen plants, the yield is very low, and it can only produce four or five catties a year, but it is the best in tea, and it is even better than the purple bamboo shoots, which is rare in the world." ”
Hearing this, Cixiu put down the tea bowl and took the box, his eyes lit up and he smiled: "This is a matter of knowledge." ”
I opened the lid and leaned over to see the color, and then leaned to the bottom of my nose to sniff, and said a little eagerly: "Try the pot?" ”
There are almost no literati of the Chinese dynasty who do not love tea. Cixiu got the tea sent by Dugu Weiqing, and felt that the previous tea could no longer be eaten.
Good things inevitably have to be taken out to show off, once a friend came to the house, so he took it out to entertain guests, but the friend was dead and snatched the tea on the table, which made Cixiu feel distressed for several days.
Therefore, in the face of better tea, it is inevitable to get excited.
Mrs. Ci said angrily: "Seeing that you are in a hurry, you can also take it in front of the guests." ”
"Eh---- girl isn't an outsider, is she?"
This has changed from Miss Dugu directly to a girl, Dugu Wei smiled, the eldest brother said that Master Ci is not a person who eats the ancients, he acts casually, and has a bit of the wind of the forest, but he is not wrong at all.
She likes to deal with such people the most, she will not use dogma and rules to restrain people, and she is easy to get along with.
Therefore, he blinked his eyes and nodded: "That's a natural ......" He turned his head to Mrs. Ci and said: "The better this tea is, the more exquisite the brewing technique will be, otherwise it will be difficult to stimulate the taste of tea to the greatest extent." How about letting Wei Wei make a pot of tea for the two of you today? ”
Before Mrs. Ci could reply, Master Ci smiled and bent her eyes, and said with a smile: "That's a good dare!" ”
Mrs. Ci said no more, turned around and glared at Cixiu secretly, blaming him for being too polite, and then ordered her subordinates to prepare a set of tools.
"I heard Hechen say that you want to enter Jinghua Girls' School?" Taking advantage of the time when the subordinates were preparing things, Jixiu asked with a smile.
"Yes, it was possible to enroll next year, but my niece didn't want to delay another year, so she thought about whether it was possible to make up for the exam? This is also the whimsy of the niece's daughter, whether it can be done or not, it depends on the uncle Guan said. ”
"The female student Zuo Siye is there, please bother Mr. And the Ministry of Rites needs to say hello? If you can enroll, you can also add luster to your school in the annual college competition. Dugu Weiqing said.
Kyoto Shoin has an unwritten rule that every year at the end of the year, there will be a competition between the academies, and the students who are among the best will become famous, and the seowon will also be rewarded by the Ministry of Rites and even the emperor. Therefore, the colleges are very welcoming to talents.
The female student Si Ye's surname is Zuo Mingqian, and she is a guy with an upright temper, which makes it a little difficult for him to make an exception. But Cixiu was his top boss, and when the Shangguan opened his mouth, he had to look at a little thin noodles. Therefore, Dugu Weiqing said that he would let Cixiu go out to persuade him.
"What is Fei Na Kung Fu doing, the old man recommends the girl to enroll, who dares to say half a word? What a good job to do in the exam! "Cixiu has a new good tea, and it is when I am in a good mood, and I am very good at talking.
As the supreme official of Guozi School and Jinghua Women's School, if Cixiu spoke, it would still be possible to arrange a supernumerary student.
"Naturally, no one dares to disobey the uncle, but if the niece is enrolled in school with the relationship of the uncle, once the uncle makes an exception, it is not easy for the uncle to refuse to go to the door. Second, future classmates will also think that the niece is stupid and unworthy of associating with her. So if it's convenient, it's better to take the test yourself. ”
Making an exception to make a make-up exam is much more difficult than going through the relationship admission. The former undermines the rules of the school and the imperial court system, and it is not easy to operate with the permission of the Ministry of Rites and the consent of the school administrator.
The latter is acceptable to the world, and every era has achieved the goal that others can only achieve through human relations and interest exchange.
Cixiu listened to what Dugu Weiwei said, and thought about him, so he didn't persuade anymore, nodded slightly and asked, "How sure are you?" ”
Dugu Weiqing said with a smile: "Weiwei is good in all subjects, and the three subjects of riding and archery and arithmetic are still above the students. ”
Cixiu and Mrs. Ci were a little incredulous when they heard this, the new champion was inferior to the three subjects, how outstanding it should be. Dugu Weiqing has never been arrogant, since he said so, it must be true.
At this time, the subordinate prepared the utensils for making tea and brought them up, and Cixiu took the time to ask: "Is it mountain spring water?" ”
The maid carrying the pot should be on her knees.
Cixiu turned back to Dugu Weiwei and said: "In this case, it is the same whether you enter school or not, and you may learn more things in school than your niece." ”
Dugu Weiwei winked and smiled slyly, "Everyone goes to school, how boring my niece is at home alone!" Besides, if my niece doesn't go to school, how can others know that my niece is excellent? ”
Cixiu and Mrs. Ci couldn't help laughing, it turned out that they didn't want to wait for a year, because there was no one to play at home.
