Chapter 197: Ancient Sencha

Xu Wan really wanted to say "Peony Garden", Wang Miaoyan walked out from the side, smiled, and said, "Miaoyan has been waiting for the two sisters here for a long time. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

took Tu Manzhen's hand, turned around, and nodded: "It's still Sister Qiuyu who picks up people, and Sister Tu looks so good at this time." Seeing the hollow lotus-patterned pink crystal jade bracelet on her wrist again, she couldn't stop praising it: "This is the princess's reward, right? A few days ago, the princess got this bracelet, but I was greedy for a long time, and the princess didn't give it to me. Today, I gave it to my two sisters, and it seems that I love my sister very much. ”

Who doesn't like to listen to nice words, a few words, plus this bracelet is really beautiful, Tu Manzhen can't put it down, and he just feels happy.

Xu Wanzhen frowned lightly on one side, what kind of idea did this Wang Miaoyan have? pinched this point out, and held Tu Manzhen flutteringly, if she said that she wanted to turn around, I am afraid she would not listen.

She is now tired of talking to Wang Miao and wronging her, and she just wants to be quiet and think about these things clearly. But Tu Manzhen didn't leave, and it was even more inappropriate to let her be here alone.

Today, this seems to be logical, but it doesn't make sense everywhere. It's good, Tu Manzhen had a conflict with the prince of Pingguo, and Princess Chu rewarded the two of them with the bracelet given by the queen, is there no other deep meaning in this?

This pink crystal jade bracelet, on the surface, was rewarded because Mr. Ning, Princess Chu and Tu Manzhen were from the same school, and they were just stained with light. Princess Chu has a wide hand, and for this reason, a bracelet is appreciated, even if it is a little precious, it is really nothing. But Xu Wanzhen grew up immersed in politics in her previous life, and her keen intuition told her that it was not as simple as it seemed.

Now that Wang Miaoyan has appeared in front of her again, let's see what she wants.

Xu Wanzhen made up her mind, and what she wanted to say rolled on her tongue and swallowed it back, and then stopped speaking.

I only heard Wang Miaoyan and said: "It's been a long time, my sisters are thirsty." Let's go for a sip of tea, moisten our throats, and then it's not too late to discuss where to go. There are many good places in this princess's mansion, and the princess has told me about them. ”

Xu Wanzhen is really fine, Tu Manzhen cried a lot before, and was so frightened that she screamed again and again, and she didn't feel nervous when she saw Princess Chu just now. was mentioned by her, only to feel that my mouth was dry, and the fire in my throat was about to smoke, so I hurriedly responded.

Qiu Yu led the way, and the three of them came to the previous tea room.

Wang Miaoyan said with a smile: "It's all my fault today, and the two sisters were frightened, so I was punished for making tea for my sisters." He waved his hand to let the autumn rain recede, and he took out the tea leaves from the side and began to make tea.

She used the etiquette of ancient tea, and a series of movements were light and elegant. Grinding tea, decoction, ordering tea, and dividing tea, all in one go.

Even though Tu Manzhen was extremely thirsty, seeing her making tea like this, she couldn't help but be stunned and waited.

Xu Wanzhen secretly thought in her heart, seeing Wang Miaoyan this time was really very different from the boudoir sister in her memory. When did she learn the art of massage and this ancient method of making tea?

With her temperament and the intimacy with which the two talked about everything when they were in Suzhou, she was sure that she must not have learned it in the Wang family in Suzhou. Then, it can only be after arriving in the capital.

Xu Wan really blinked, hiding the shock in the center. She had only been in the Chu Palace's Mansion for a short month, but looking at this skillful technique of making tea, if she hadn't practiced it thousands of times, how could it be? Looking at Wang Miaoyan who was light and breezy on the other side, Xu Wanzhen felt for the first time that she looked so unfamiliar. In the Chu Palace, she must have suffered a lot.

Wang Miaoyan turned the bowl and shook the incense, took a sip of the divided tea while it was hot, and said: "In the ancient method, the tea cup was deliberately made so small, so that it was good to drink it all in one gulp, you can also try it." ”

Pinched up the small teacup that was bigger than only two thumbs, and the two learned Wang Miaoyan's method, first turning the bowl to shake the incense, and then drinking it all in one gulp, and sure enough, the tea fragrance was pleasant.

After drinking a round of tea, Tu Manzhen praised: "Sister Wang has made tea, and everyone has become beautiful." Your craftsmanship is so good, this tea is so fragrant. ”

Wang Miaoyan smiled lightly and said: "This ancient method of making tea is not everyone's favorite, my sister likes it." I was afraid that the two younger sisters would not be used to drinking, so I didn't add seasonings when cooking. As he spoke, he opened a rectangular rosewood box on the right side of the tea tray and said, "There are some spices here, do you want to pick a few things and try them?"

Tu Manzhen looked over and saw that there were several small compartments in the box, and each compartment contained a seasoning. There are green onions, ginger, orange peels, mint leaves, dates, roses, salt, jasmine, wolfberries, etc., and she was amazed: "Isn't green onion ginger salt a seasoning for cooking, how can it be used for sencha?"

Wang Miaoyan explained: "This is how the ancient method is seasoned. However, I've tried it myself several times, and I really can't get used to the taste. She smiled playfully and said, "But adding flowers and mint has a different taste." ”

Tu Manzhen was eager to hear it, she was already curious. I looked at the seasoning carefully and asked, "Can I put several kinds of at the same time?"

"Absolutely. Wang Miaoyan replied softly.

Tu Manzhen looked at this, picked it up again, hesitated, and finally decided to add roses and orange peels. Wang Miaoyan picked up these two things with tea lotus, served them on a plate, and asked Xu Manzhen: "How many kinds can my sister choose to try?"

Xu Wan was really thinking about it, this method of boiling tea was originally prevalent in the Tang Dynasty, but it became an ancient rite in the Gaomang Dynasty, and I don't know where this history went wrong. Listening to her question, I also chose mint leaves and jasmine.

Wang Miaoyan lowered her eyes and focused on the tea ceremony in her hand. First fried with roses and orange peel, distributed to Tu Manzhen, and when his fingers brushed the teacup, a few powders quickly merged into the cup, and disappeared in an instant. She has already practiced this action a thousand times, and she is extremely proficient, where can Xu Wanzhen and Tu Manzhen find it?

Distributing tea to Tu Manzhen, she didn't even change her breathing, and added mint leaves and jasmine to fry and give it to Xu Wanzhen.

In the end, she fried a kind of jujube, wolfberry, and roses, and gave it to herself. Wang Miaoyan pinched the small blue and white teacup of Ruyao, and said with a smile: "Miaoyan replaced wine with tea and made amends for the sins of the two sisters." "Take a sip of it.

Tu Manzhen said magnanimously: "Sister Wang is serious, the prince of Pingguo is a rough person, what does he have to do with his sister?" After speaking, he took the small teacup to his lips and drank it in one gulp.

Wang Miaoyan smiled at the corner of her lips, but her eyes watched her movements for a moment. As long as she drinks this tea and has been planning for a long time, it will be done!

The little teacup had touched Tu Manzhen's mouth, but when she saw her, she frowned and said, "What tastes so strange?"
