After a flock of white doves flew on the eaves in the early morning, cooing and cooing, Zhu Yifei sat up with sleepy eyes, looked at the sky and knew that it was time to get up and boil water. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Rubbed his aching arms and thighs, got out of bed and got dressed and rushed to the kitchen, while scooping water and adding materials to the shoddy and shabby kitchen, no wonder Ziyang didn't buy a maid, there are really apprentices who don't need servants, fortunately, the ability to cook on the fire has been learned from the little monk since the time of crossing, and it is not difficult, except that the firewood is a little wet and not easy to ignite.

As soon as he had boiled the water and cleaned his face, he saw that the door of the east wing room was pushed open, and Ziyang, who was dressed in a white robe, walked out of it, incarnating into the color of snow, like the emperor of the Nine Heavens Hongyu falling into the dust, almost blinded her twenty-four K titanium alloy dog eyes, and the old Taoist robe that was usually always cyan was really unaccustomed to being dressed like this by chance.

"Is the water boiled?" Ziyang looked at her and asked.

"Well, Master, why is there any activity today? Dressed up so coquettishly, is it a blind date? Zhu Yifei walked over with a copper basin and put it on the stone platform on the side, glanced up and down at Ziyang, covered his mouth and smiled evilly.

Ziyang raised his eyebrows and said, "If I marry a teacher, wouldn't you have to wait for more people?" After handing her the jade dust, he rolled up his sleeves and washed his face, then took the towel she handed over and said, "The water is a little cold today, so pay attention to it tomorrow." ”

Zhu Yifei slid three black lines down her head, and muttered with some dissatisfaction, "Really, can you still use me as a maid?" ”

"If you hadn't stolen my dust beads, how would it be so cumbersome? It's also honing your patience, which is good for your practice. Ziyang was reprimanding, when he heard the old man in the porter come over and say, "The grandfather is here." ”

Ziyang nodded and said to her, "King Kaihui is seriously ill, and the emperor is also in poor spirits, so I will enter the palace first." With that, he hurried away.

Well? Fat man sick? When did it happen? I cleaned myself up with doubts, and I heard the sound of horses' hooves clattering at the door, and when I went out to take a look, I saw that Huai Wenhan and Huai Wenyuan were there, and smiled at her, "What are you doing in a daze?" Come on. ”

After a few explanations to the old man of the porter, he jumped into the carriage, sat down and said with a smile, "Thanks to my early riser, otherwise I would have to bother my brothers to wait for me." ”

"Your fourth brother knows that you will be lazy in bed, and he delayed it for a quarter of an hour, but it is not as good as the coincidence that you came." Huai Wenyuan said with a smile.

"But you haven't eaten breakfast yet?" Huai Wenhan asked with concern.

"Well, I boiled water for my master when I got up in the morning, and I didn't have time, but I don't have to eat." Zhu Yifei replied.

"If you are hungry, you will have your own fruit to eat when you come to the house." Huai Wenyuan said.

Zhu Yifei smiled and didn't answer, the carriage was silent for a while, Huai Wenhan saw that she didn't seem to have much energy, and there was a slight bruise on her forehead and asked with concern, "Why are you still injured?" ”

Zhu Yifei was stunned for a moment, touched the somewhat painful place on her head, and sighed, "I learned spells, it's not a big deal." ”

"Oh? What kind of spell did Daoist Ziyang teach you? Huai Wenyuan asked with interest.

"He gave me the book, and then he tested my practice, and I accidentally hit the wall when I ran away, but today it was much better, and yesterday it was very swollen."

"If you are not used to living in Zifu, you should come to Huaifu, there are many empty rooms, and you are not one behind." Huai Wenhan looked inexplicably distressed when she looked aggrieved.

"That's right, my mother is about to celebrate her fiftieth birthday next month, and there are few sisters in the family, so it is better to come to Huaifu to live for a while." Huai Wenyuan also said.

"I'm learning spells now, and besides, Master also needs me to take care of me, and when Mrs. Huai celebrates her birthday, I will definitely be there to celebrate her birthday." Zhu Yifei hurriedly refused, although the previous unpleasantness has passed for a long time, but there is still some mustard in her heart, not for others, but for herself, she doesn't want to cause trouble to others, especially in a family like them, there are a lot of rules in it, if she accidentally commits a taboo, she will be annoying for no reason.

"Also, it's important to learn Taoism, it doesn't matter, you can come to Huaifu at any time if you want, we have you covered." Huai Wenyuan said with a smile.

"Thank you, third brother."

Several people talked all the way, and then came to the main gate of Huaifu, Zhu Yifei got off the sedan chair, sorted out her hair and clothes a little crampedly, cleared her throat again, and tried to make her waist and back straight, and even walking was no longer a big stride, but tried to hug herself, looking dignified and steady.

Her appearance is really rare, although she is less aura and lively, but more elegant and quiet, slim and elegant, looking from afar, she really has a kind of demeanor from everyone.

Entering the double door, there was a small sedan chair to carry, I didn't want to sit, but I knew that this was the rule of Huaifu, so I got on the sedan chair, the person who carried the sedan chair was very stable, but she was like sitting on pins and needles, forced herself to suppress the discomfort in her heart, and tried to show a standard smile, I just hope that I don't want to be a toddler in Handan, and make people laugh.

In winter, Huaifu is less luxurious and bright, full of snow white, and occasionally some emerald is hidden in it, the snow on the stone bridge and the promenade is swept clean, a few kingfishers and parrots are chirping under the porch, and there are small maids and maids feeding water and food.

The passing servants saluted Huai Wenhan and Huai Wenyuan and then avoided them in a proper manner, which made her feel like Zhen Huan's biography.

Through the last carved arch, the small sedan chair fell, Zhu Yifei felt a lot more comfortable when her feet landed on the ground, followed the two brothers of the Huai family into the courtyard together, and heard a burst of laughter before entering the main hall, although it was not very big, but it also gave people a lively and festive feeling.

"There are more people in the family today, so don't be afraid." Huai Wenhan stared at her little head, wanting to brush the scattered hair, but the outstretched hand was still half paid but then retracted.

"Yifei, your hair is a little messy." Huai Wenyuan saw Huai Wenhan's movements with sharp eyes, and reminded him.

A strand of hair fell from the sideburns, rippling on the cheeks, making her already peerless appearance add a thousand kinds of style, but this is absolutely unacceptable among everyone, the messy hair represents the untidy dress, and the untidy dress indicates that the woman's etiquette is inappropriate, which is detrimental to the reputation of the girl.

After scrambling to finally get her hair done, Huai Wenyuan saw that she seemed to have eased a lot of tension, so he pushed the door in and laughed, "Look who's coming." ”

Zhu Yifei took a deep breath, lifted her skirt, and stepped into the room with small steps, Huai Wenhan behind her followed, and the maid who was playing the curtain on the side lowered her head and did not move, as if she didn't care much about it.

"Yo, good girl, come on, come on, it's not the first time we've met, don't be so restrained." A young woman humane.

Zhu Yifei hurriedly stepped forward and said calmly, "I've seen Mrs. Huai and your sisters-in-law." “

"Hey, don't be so polite, after toasting tea today, we are a family, and my mother has been waiting for you for a long time." The young woman picked her up and smiled. Zhu Yifei knows her, she is Huai Wenyuan's wife, she is noble, extremely smart and capable, and it is said that she is in charge of half of Huaifu.

"Well, it's a lot smarter after not seeing you for a long time." Mrs. Huai's words were much gentler.

Zhu Yifei didn't know what to say, so she could only nod her head and say "yes"

"Come and sit down." The young woman smiled at her, the maid on the side had already set up a chair, and was the first on the lower right side of Mrs. Huai, Zhu Yifei was surprised, the lower right position of Mrs. in the main room was all daughters-in-law, even daughters-in-law did not have such treatment, did this old lady really want to accept her as a righteous daughter? But why?

Although he was extremely puzzled in his heart, he still thanked him in a proper manner and sat down there.

Soon after he sat down, a few maids brought over a small wooden table, brought tea sets and kettles and put them on top, and then they all respectfully retreated.

Zhu Yifei looked at this set of complicated and cumbersome things, and suddenly had a bad premonition, and sure enough, the young woman smiled at her and said, "Miss Zhu may not be from the capital, since Wenyuan Wenhan has married you as a brother and sister, our Huaifu will also accept you as a righteous daughter, and make tea with your own hands to show filial piety, I wish the girl is fine as usual, don't be restrained." ”

"Third sister-in-law......" Huai Wenhan was a little impatient and was about to speak, but Huai Wenyuan hurriedly stopped him and whispered, "Don't worry, it's just a formality." Huai Wenhan's hands on his knees clenched into fists and released and clenched again, and his forehead was about to sweat.

His expression naturally fell in Mrs. Huai's eyes, and he coughed lightly twice and was about to speak, but Zhu Yifei stood up elegantly and said with a smile, "I have learned these at home since I was a child, and I hope that Mrs. will not think I am stupid." ”

Said to take a small step to the front of the elegant come, slowly kneeling, the long skirt just scattered into a flower, hidden inside, the upper body straight, in the maid brought the copper basin to clean the hands, then the cake and tea crushed and placed in the porcelain bowl, and the water for boiling tea was slowly poured into the kettle, next to the free maid playing with the charcoal fire, after a while, with the water slightly boiling at the beginning of the water, pinch up the fine tea and slowly sprinkle in, slowly stir with the tea whisk until the tea blends, at this time the kettle gradually rises like a pile of clouds and snow-like foam, completely floating on the water surface, there is not a trace of water streaks.

After a long time, the water in the kettle dropped by half, Zhu Yifei stopped the tea whisk, and fanned it slightly with a bamboo fan, only to see that the foam slowly dispersed and disappeared, revealing the light brown water waves that were constantly tumbling inside.

As the water flowed down slowly, everyone only felt that an unusually strong tea fragrance was scattered around, and it was extremely refreshing to smell, and what was even more commendable was that the tea poured at the height did not splash a drop of water, and the direct water column was always the same thickness.

When the teacup was eight points full, it suddenly stopped, Zhu Yifei eased her stiff legs, stood up carefully, walked to Mrs. Huai with tea in both hands, knelt down and said, "Please mother, drink tea." ”

Mrs. Huai seemed to be very happy, and after taking the tea and taking a sip, she was greatly surprised, "This dragon well was boiled by you before the rain, and you actually asked for strange fragrance, your tea-making skills are comparable to everyone." ”

"Mother doesn't want my sister to get up soon." Young woman humane.

"Yes, yes, look at my memory, hurry up, my good girl." The maid next to her took Mrs. Huai's teacup, Mrs. Huai helped her down, and Zhu Yifei stood up.

"Mother has won the prize." Modestly, she has practiced this tea-making technique for I don't know how many years, and she has nothing to do at home to make these strange things, but I didn't expect it to come in handy.

"Sit down." Mrs. Huai took her hand and was unusually affectionate, obviously feeling a change from the inside-out attitude when she entered the door just now.

Zhu Yifei sat down in an orderly manner, her waist straightened, and her low eyebrows made Huai Wenyuan laugh.

"Third brother, what's wrong?" Huai Wenhan asked strangely.

"It's okay, it's okay, haha." When he asked, Huai Wenyuan, who had been quietly restrained, let go of his voice.

"What an unruly guy, your third brother has been spoiled by me since he was a child, don't be like him, you see, this is your third sister-in-law, just married a few years ago, this is your second sister-in-law, that's your sister-in-law." Zhu Yifei came to see the ceremony together, and the three young women also returned the salute, and they all smiled and praised her.

There were still a few women sitting in the corner with a few girls, and Mrs. Huai just said, "That's your sisters." Then he took her hand and began to ask, "I heard your third brother say that you play the zither well?" ”

"Yes, mother, from elementary school." Zhu Yifei said.

"Oh, you've read books?" Mrs. Huai asked thoughtfully.

"Well, read a little." Zhu Yifei replied, not only have I read some, but I have been in compulsory education for more than 20 years, and it is sad to say it.
