60. Tea brew
Yao Xitong actually dared to say that he stayed for Xiao Huafang, which annoyed Xiao Bao'er. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
She said: "The door is over there, don't send it slowly." ”
"What's wrong with you, can you still talk well? Do you think I made tea for you in the middle of the night to praise Xiao Huafang? ”
Xiao Baoer covered her head with the quilt, hid in the quilt and shouted: "I can't hear, I can't hear, I can't hear, I can't hear, I don't listen to the turtle." ”
Yao Xitong couldn't help laughing, where is it like being angry, it's more like being coquettish!
He said to himself: "Making tea bubbles is called chisel, not carving or carving." The craftman's craftsmanship depends on how he chisels the melon pieces, whether it is flat or three-dimensional, the maker has to draw the pattern in his mind, so as not to chisel the melon pieces. ”
"Most people choose flat embryos for tea brewing, but the tea bubble you see is a three-dimensional embryo, which is enough to show Xiao Huafang's painting skills and the use of chisel painting tools freely." 'Serving' and 'sifting' is a key step in the quality of tea brewing. The upper plate refers to putting the tea bubble into the syrup and egg white to soak it slightly, moving it aside and letting the sun dry for a while, then soaking, and then drying, and so on more than ten times. ”
"After the plate, move the tea bubble to the bamboo sieve, only dry and not soak, and then use a brush dipped in syrup to sweep the tea bubble noodles, and then sweep repeatedly after drying, turn over the bottom surface, and constantly move the position to prevent the sieve, which is called 'sieve drying'. It takes about five days from the top plate to the time it is sieved, and this is done every day, which is a special test of the patience of the maker. ”
"After talking about it for a long time, you are still praising Xiao Huafang for being amazing?"
"She is indeed powerful, how many beauties have you seen with perseverance and perseverance? For example, are you willing to spend your energy and time on these things? ”
Xiao Bao'er finally showed her head, "Do you think I'm a beauty?" ”
"That doesn't seem to be the point."
"Why isn't it the point, I said yes, who is more beautiful, me or Xiao Huafang?"
Yao Xitong looked at Xiao Bao'er carefully, and the person's body was still hiding in the quilt, revealing his head. The red little face, the messy hair, the eyes are big and round, the nose is high, the mouth is just right, and every time you laugh, you will unconsciously show a lot of teeth......
"Hey! What are you looking at me in a daze. ”
"You are more beautiful than Xiao Huafang."
"Really?"
"Lying to you is the king."
Yao Xitong regretted it after speaking, he really thought Xiao Baoer was beautiful. This shouldn't be, Xiao Baoer's appearance doesn't meet the preferences of the Central Plains people at all, could it be that the cat feels cute after watching it for three days, and his aesthetic distortion is because he faces Xiao Baoer all day long?
"Say, why stay here?"
Xiao Bao'er finally got out of the bed, knelt beside the bed, and looked at Yao Xitong with a pair of bright eyes. The latter sighed secretly at the beginning: It's over, the aesthetics are really distorted, no matter how you look at it, I think Xiao Baoer is better looking than Xiao Huafang.
"Xiao Huafang has patience, perseverance, and smart enough......"
"Turtle, you only drank tea this afternoon, and decided to stay here in the morning of eleven mornings. Your understanding of Xiao Huafang is definitely not because of the small tea bubble, tell me the real reason. ”
Yao Xitong leaned comfortably on the side of the bed, "I'll tell you a story!" ”
"A story of revenge?"
"Well, I won't talk about it tonight, I'll tell you another story of revenge. Xiao Huafang's father is a down-and-out royal family, although the family has a title, but life is beyond their means, and it is very difficult. ”
Xiao Huafang is a concubine, but she had no choice but to meet a father who spoiled his concubine and killed his wife, this man not only beat her mother, but also pawned all her mother's dowry into property to marry the concubine, and killed her mother on the sickbed. Thanks to God, he gave her a good look, and his father pointed to marrying her off for money, and treated her kindly. ”
"Xiao Huafang was sent to the palace by her father before she could finish ......"
"What?" Xiao Bao'er looked at Yao Xitong in surprise, Xiao Huafang entered the palace, she was the woman of the first emperor? It's incredible, isn't it?
"The story has just begun, Xiao Huafang is the most powerful woman I know. You should know very well what the first emperor looks like, Xiao Huafang's posture entering the palace is like a sheep entering the mouth of a tiger, and there is no way to escape. I heard that she was summoned by the first emperor on the first day she entered the palace, and the person who was supposed to be in bed stood in front of the first emperor and said a word without fear, and it was this sentence that changed her fate and made her canonized as the lord of Fanghua that night. ”
She asked the first emperor: Do you want one me, or ten women like me? The first emperor chose the latter, she gave the first emperor an idea, let him let go of the draft, the palace concubines are not limited to the families of the powerful, folk beauties can also enter the palace, as long as they can serve the first emperor well, and give birth to heirs, their families can become powerful. ”
A woman who has not yet reached the end of her life can have such courage and dare to bargain with the first emperor; is so smart that he knows what the first emperor wants most, and he can also make suggestions to let the first emperor break the tradition and open a precedent for the folk draft...... Hearing this, Xiao Baoer didn't know what to say.
Yao Xitong continued: "After Xiao Huafang was canonized as the county lord, she introduced her father to the first emperor, and her father assisted the first emperor in completing a series of matters such as the civil draft. ”
When she was in time, Gao Wenyu lost his wife, and took the initiative to enter the palace to ask to marry Gao Wenyu. The first emperor was very happy, and was worried about how to comfort Gao Wenyu, so Xiao Huafang took the initiative to send it to the door. This woman is worthy of Gao Wenyu in terms of appearance and family background, and the most important thing is that she is still loyal, and it is best for her to marry Lord Chen, who is in charge of military power. ”
Xiao Bao'er asked, "Why would a fourteen-year-old woman like a man who can be her father?" ”
"Xiaoxiao, this is exactly what makes Xiao Huafang terrifying, she has already thought about how to take revenge on the family from the moment she made a suggestion to the first emperor. Do you know how the first emperor died......"
********** Xiao Bao'er made Yao Xitong choke half to death with his own saliva, and he coughed while saying, "Xiaoxiao, can you be a little more reserved." ”
"Eight palace concubines were summoned in one night, and the best stallion in Northern Liao had to foam at the mouth like this, am I wrong?"
"The first emperor is gone, who is the saddest person? Who is the angriest person? ”
Xiao Bao'er finally understood, if Xiao Huafang had foreseen this result early on, this woman would be too terrifying. understands and understands, she won't answer truthfully, and she has to look like a pig if she pretends to be a pig.
She said: "The saddest ones must be the concubines, and they should be the most angry!" ”
"Stupid, this has nothing to do with those palace concubines. The saddest person is the Queen Mother, and she is the most angry. Not long after the death of the first emperor, Xiao Huafang's father accidentally broke his leg while hunting, and all the concubines in the family were either killed or injured due to various accidents. ”
"Most of the powerful people think that these things are inseparable from the Empress Dowager, everyone thinks that Xiao Huafang is well married, and her father can live because she married Gao Wenyu, and the Empress Dowager will not touch her for the time being."
"Isn't it?"
"The person the Empress Dowager wants to kill the most is Xiao Huafang, but it is inconvenient to do it because of her husband and wife relationship with Gao Wenyu. As for what happened in the Hou Ye's Mansion, do you think the Empress Dowager will have the leisure to deal with a few concubines with these indiscriminate tricks? ”
"Wow......"
Xiao Bao'er expressed her mood with an exclamation, what Yao Xitong said and what she didn't say, she had already thought about it, and even thought further. In amazement, she asked in disbelief: "Are you lying under Xiao Huafang's bed?" How do you know these things so clearly? ”
Yao Xitong grinned, he knew more than that. As a big customer of the bun shop, Xiao Huafang did not kill Hou Ye, not because he didn't want to kill his father, but because he wanted to keep Hou Ye's life and torture him slowly. Nearly half of the concubines in the Hou Mansion have eaten Xiao Huafang's poison~ medicine, and the only remaining son of the Hou Ye is not his own......
He said, "Su Su told me these things, and she didn't tell you?" ”
Su Su is helping Qingshanjun do great things, and she will definitely not see Xiao Bao'er in the short term, and this kind of thing is best pushed to her.
"Why did Su Su tell you about this?"
"I don't know, I'm staying to find out why, this may be an opportunity to help you change your life."
Yao Xitong pushed everything on Su Su, and things were so coincidental, his nonsense just confirmed Xiao Baoer's guess - Xuan Ze knew Xiao Huafang. Only in this way can Su Su know so many things about Xiao Huafang.
Xiao Baoer asked, "What should I do next?" ”
"Tomorrow's equestrian competition, if they are suspicious of Eleven, there should be a move."
"I ......"
Xiao Bao'er wanted to say that the martial arts were gone again, but she hesitated for a moment but didn't say anything.
"What's wrong? Worried that they'll do it to you tomorrow? Don't worry, even if you know that Eleven isn't a real princess, they won't do anything to you. Aoyama-kun's team had just left, assuming that he knew the relationship between the Empress Dowager and Gao Wenyun, in order to prevent Gao Wenyun from supporting the army and standing on his own, the purpose of his visit this time would definitely not be so simple......"
Yao Xitong fell into the analysis and talked for a long time before finding that Xiao Baoer had fallen asleep. He closed his eyes and planned to sleep, but a small thought was fluttering in his mind, tossing and turning several times, he got up and stretched out his hand to Xiao Bao'er, and rubbed his hair more messy, and then he was satisfied to lie down and sleep.
The next day, he touched his beaten cheek, lay on his side on the bed leisurely, and watched the touching scene of Xiao Bao'er taking a comb and fighting against the seizures.
Chen people are aggressive, and horse racing has long become an annual spring event in the local area.
The horse farm of Lord Chen's mansion is very large, and after Gao Wenyu succeeded to the throne, he incorporated all the mountains and forests behind the mansion into the mansion. For the safety of the mansion, he also ordered people to cut down the big trees on the mountain. As far as the eye can see, the vast mountain horse farm has a bit of a grassland feeling.
Gao Han changed out of brocade clothes and put on a riding costume, and his heroic appearance was not inferior to Gao Mian.
He asked, "Princess Bao'er, I heard that the Liao people are the best at equestrianism, I wonder if you can show it?" ”
Eleven arrogantly pointed at Xiao Bao'er with a horsewhip and said, "Let the slaves and maids around me show it, women in Northern Liao are not inferior to men." ”
Gao Hanpi said with a smile, "Since the princess trusts her slave so much, why don't we gamble?" I sent the horsemen in the house to test the shooting with the princess's slaves and maids to see if the daughters of Northern Liao were not inferior to men. ”
There are so many sergeants in Lord Chen's mansion, and Gao Han does not send sergeants to send stables, which is obviously to fight back against Eleven's reluctance to play.
Eleven, like Xiao Bao'er, didn't know much about the twists and turns of the Central Plains, so he only said: "According to the rules of Northern Liao, the loser will lose his head." I don't know how many stables there are in the house, don't make no one raise horses, that's the princess's! ”
Gao Han said sarcastically: "Instead of worrying about the stables of the Chen Mansion, the princess should worry about her slaves. ”
"I remember that the princess promised the Queen Mother that she would be an ordinary couple with her husband. Seeing that the princess only has one maidservant, if something happens to her, where should the princess find such a beautiful and capable maidservant? Don't talk about the princess at that time, I'm afraid that Tanhualang will be even more sad. ”
Eleven finally sensed the malice in Gao Han's words. I thought that I could stay with Yao Xitong as a princess, but how did I know that Yao Xitong actually ran to Xiaoxiao's side in the middle of the night, and I didn't care what the people in Lord Chen's mansion thought about it.
Thinking of this, she said with a bad face: "My family affairs don't bother the world......"
Xiao Huafang was walking a horse with Yao Xitong, and Xiao Bao'er's eyes were all focused on Xiao Huafang.
Most of the nobles of Daxia are raised delicately in the deep boudoir, but Xiao Huafang is a little different, look at her not only good equestrian skills, but even a little kung fu. There are not many women who can be literate and martial in this way, and there are not many women with noble status in Daxia, and Xiao Bao'er's only advantage is gone, which makes her very frustrated.
Equestrianism is different from horse racing, which is more dangerous than speed and equestrianism than skill.
Gao Han and Eleven competed in equestrianism, Eleven let Xiao Baoer play, in a sense, Eleven staked Xiao Baoer's life.
"You, don't go and get ready! This princess has staked your life on the prince. ”
Xiao Bao'er led the horse sent by the Chen Mansion, held the bow and arrow sent by the Chen Mansion, and was about to walk to the starting point, Gao Mian, who had been watching from the sidelines, said: "Girl, the forest ahead is low and dense, and the saber on the horseback is not very easy to use, you can use mine!" ”
The horse farm of the Chen Mansion is often used for military training, and some of the swords on horseback are not sharp, and some are too worn, so they are naturally not as good as the swords on Gao Mian's body.
Xiao Bao'er took the knife and smiled at him, and Yao Xitong asked puzzledly: "The second son is not worried that this will annoy the prince?" ”
Gao Mian Zhengse said: "Since it is a game, it should be upright, instead of caring about our brothers, Tanhualang should worry about your maid, and if you are injured like that, you will have to play." ”
Yao Xitong looked at Gao Mian blankly, "What do you mean by this?" ”
"Yesterday I was on my patrol and happened to see her being beaten by the princess until she vomited blood, so for some reason someone prepared a room for her to rest."
Yao Xitong finally understood why Xiao Bao'er hesitated for a moment last night, it was impossible for Eleven to vomit blood, the only possibility was the seventy internal forces hidden in her body. She vomited blood in Ghost Town last time, and then lost all her martial arts, so it should be the same this time!
Looking at the racecourse not far away, Yao Xitong lost his previous composure and calmness, and secretly prayed that Xiao Bao'er would not have an accident.
