20. Chapter 20
I came, and I really came to ask about this domain. Jiao Wanwan stabilized her mind and said with a smile: "It's not difficult, if the second sister wants to eat this tea, send someone to Guizhou to deliver a letter, and I will definitely send someone to the second sister quickly." I wanted the tea to be sent directly to the second sister's house from Jian'an, but this tea was also brought by my second uncle, and I don't know who he bought it, but there was no way to let the second sister get it directly. ”
"That's a pity, but, with the words of my brother and sister, if I really come to the door to ask for it in the future, my brother and sister don't beat me out." Princess Yanqing said with a smile, just as the maid came over with a kettle. I took a little tea with small tweezers, put it in a white and chubby porcelain cup, boiled it once, ordered it a second time, and left it for a while, and then put it on the tray and put it on the desk in front of Princess Yanqing.
Princess Yanqing pulled her sleeve with one hand, held the teacup with the other, touched her lips slightly, and her face showed a little enjoyment: "It is worthy of tribute tea, this taste is really good." In previous years, when I was in the capital, my father would reward me with some tea every year, all of which were of the highest quality, some of them were bitter and sweet, some were sweet and clear, some were cool and long, and some were violent and moving, our sisters and brothers were a few, I liked to drink tea in one place, I was a vulgar, everything could only taste a taste, but the fourth brother was a person who liked the tea ceremony, especially like group tea, by the way, my brother and sister can order tea? ”
Jiao Wanwan's face was about to stiffen, that kind of high-level thing, can you learn it in a while? She doesn't even know how to latte art!
"I don't like group tea very much, so ......" showed a little embarrassment on her face at the right time, and Princess Yanqing was a little surprised: "Not at all?" "This is really incredible, this kind of thing is tea, but where the family is high, it will let the little ladies in the family learn, just like flower arrangement, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting can only understand a little bit, but flower arrangement and tea are must.
In the Jiao family, the only little lady can't order tea?
"I prefer loose tea." After Jiao Wanwan was embarrassed, she smiled again, this time she was very generous, anyway, she really wouldn't, and she didn't plan to learn, so it was better to just admit it, so as not to have this kind of embarrassment in the future.
"You like Jiangnan before the rain." Jiao Wanwan said with a smile: "Although the taste is lighter, it has a longer aftertaste. ”
Princess Yanqing raised her eyebrows, she disagreed with her statement, loose tea is just picked and fried at will, where is there a piece of tea precious. It's just that everyone has their own love, although Jiao Wanwan's preferences are a little too weird, but she doesn't have to force everyone to have the same preferences as herself.
So, I diverted the topic: "I heard that after the fourth brother got married, I was actually a little worried, Wanniang should also know that in this capital, the ladies from Jiangmen are always a little strong-tempered, the fourth brother's temperament, it sounds good, it is gentle as jade, it is ugly, it is Wen swallowing temper, I have a straight temperament, the fourth brother and sister don't think I said it bluntly, I was afraid that the fourth brother would be wronged." ”
Jiao Wanwan smiled dryly, this is not just straightforward, that is, if she is really wronged, even if Song Chu is really very open, there will be no ...... Well, you can't be too iron-mouthed, maybe there will be a man with a good face who won't dare to say it if he is subjected to domestic violence.
"I sent someone to inquire about Wan Niang's temperament, but I heard that Wan Niang is a person who likes to play, just right, I also like to play." Princess Yanqing clapped her hands and said with a smile: "It's like the one you made up before, and the kaleidoscope that the fourth brother took to the palace to play with for his mother, I made one of the former, but I couldn't beat it well, do my younger brothers and sisters have a knack to teach me?" ”
"Can I see the princess's spinning top?" Jiao Wanwan asked, and Princess Yanqing asked with a smile while asking people to get it, "Spinning top?" What did you give it a name? It's an interesting name, spinning top, where does it come from? ”
"This, princess ......" Jiao Wanwan's mind was spinning rapidly, and Princess Yanqing waved her hand: "Don't be so outside, just call me second sister, you marry the fourth brother, and you will be a member of our Zhao family in the future, so you don't need to be called an outsider." ”
"Then you're welcome, second sister." Jiao Wanwan nodded and smiled, and then pointed to the spinning top on the maid's plate: "Look, does it look like a snail?" Snail. As it turned, there was the sound of Tota, so I remembered the name occasionally. ”
Saying that, I couldn't help but feel a little weak, shouldn't I rob anyone in the future of the naming right?
"It's really quite vivid, this name is good, okay, now can you point me out, how can I make this spinning top particularly good?" Princess Yanqing asked again, where does Jiao Wanwan have any experience, she has occasionally watched some spinning top competitions, and then watched others play in the square, let her do it herself, maybe Princess Yanqing can't compare.
"Second sister doesn't know, although I came up with this thing, I don't know how to play with it, I just whipped myself when I first got started, and then I didn't dare to do it again." Jiao Wanwan waved her hand, seeing that Princess Yanqing's eyes dimmed, and said, "If the princess doesn't dislike it, I'll go back and give the princess a gadget?" ”
Princess Yanqing's eyes lit up immediately, and Jiao Wanwan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, if a gadget could make Princess Yanqing have a good impression of her, she would not be stingy with this little thing at all.
"Look at me, I'm just pulling my younger siblings to talk about some play, and I didn't even notice that it's time for lunch, you should be hungry now, right? I had lunch set for me? As he was talking, he saw the maid come in in a hurry, and after saluting, he said, "The fourth prince is here, and the horse is talking with the fourth prince at this time." The concubine asked the maid to ask, they are all their own family, should this lunch be used together? ”
Princess Yanqing turned her head to look at Jiao Wanwan, and couldn't help but quip: "It seems that the fourth brother and Wanniang are really affectionate, and they can't be separated for a while, if I drag the fourth brother and sister to it, maybe the fourth brother will be able to bring someone to the door, and the gate of the princess's mansion doesn't know if it's strong." ”
Jiao Wanwan didn't know what expression to show at all, but before she could figure it out, her face became hot first, and she knew that it would definitely be red without looking. It's true, the expression on the face is much more honest than the heart.
Princess Yanqing held a fan to cover the lower half of her face, but Jiao Wanwan only looked at her eyebrows and knew that this person was probably smiling.
However, Princess Yanqing was also more considerate, smiled for a while and turned around, whispered a few words to the maid, got up, stretched out her hand and gestured to Jiao Wanwan: "Since the horse and the fourth brother are coming over, they simply called a few children over, and it just so happened that they hadn't seen their fourth uncle for a while, and there were many people." Let's go to the pavilion over there to eat, the pavilion is high, sit on it, the whole mansion can be seen clearly, the scenery is also very good, just the wind on all sides, this big noon, the house is still a little stuffy, the outside is much cooler, Zhuangzi also sent some crabs over, can you eat crabs? ”
Jiao Wanwan nodded, followed Princess Yanqing out, and happened to meet Master Ma and Zhao Defang. Zhao Defang didn't shy away from it, walked up to Jiao Wanwan generously, looked down at her, and Princess Yanqing couldn't help but smile: "Don't look at it, I didn't bully your lady, I promise, she doesn't miss a single hair." ”
Zhao Defang coughed lightly: "What did the second sister say, she was in the second sister's house, I was the most relieved." I'm not worried that my second sister will bully her, but I'm worried that she will make her clumsy mouth angry, but it will make her second sister hurt, and I will feel guilty about my younger brother. ”
These words are said beautifully, Princess Yanqing looked at such a high-ranking person, and couldn't help but smile, and patted Zhao Defang's arm lightly with a fan: "Don't think I don't know, this is a way to intercede with Wanniang, isn't it?" Don't worry, I like Wan Niang a lot, and I love to play as much as I do, so I brought Wan Niang to play with me. ”
While talking, he bypassed the topic again: "The crabs sent from Zhuangzi, although they are still a little small, but they have a different taste, I remember, the fourth brother likes drunk crabs the most?" I told the kitchen to make some and eat more later. ”
The horse followed and said: "The chrysanthemum wine brewed last year, the altar has just opened this year, I tasted it before, and the taste is still very good, fourth brother, let's not get drunk today?" ”
Princess Yanqing smiled: "If you want to drink alone, don't pull the fourth brother, this blue sky and white day, it's best to taste it, and if you drink too much, it will hurt your body." ”
Zhao Defang hurriedly said: "The second brother-in-law is just looking at your face, so I am willing to take the chrysanthemum wine out to entertain guests, otherwise, I am afraid that I will not have this blessing today." The second sister doesn't have to worry, I will definitely take care of the second brother-in-law and don't let him drink too much. ”
The colt only smiled and followed leisurely up the stone steps with his hands behind his back.
Princess Yanqing didn't want to be teased by Zhao Defang, so she didn't answer the previous words, turned her head and continued to chat with Jiao Wanwan: "There is a pool of lotus flowers planted over there, it's a little late at this time, if it was last month, at dusk, standing in this pavilion and looking at it from afar, red as fire, connected to the sky, that is beautiful, but at this time, you can only see a pool of residual lotus." ”
"The residual lotus also has a unique flavor, and my favorite is this pool of residual lotus, because in a few days, you will be able to dig lotus roots." Jiao Wanwan said with a smile: "This lotus root is a good thing, raw and cold, fried and steamed, delicious and nourishing." ”
Princess Yanqing was stunned for a moment, couldn't help laughing, and nodded Jiao Wanwan with a fan: "You, you, this was originally a very interesting thing, but when you said this, it suddenly made people want to drool!" ”
laughed enough, and said: "If you like to eat, I'll ask people to dig up more and send it to your house, I remember that the fourth brother's current mansion doesn't have a pond, right?" I'll send you some more when I get back. ”
Jiao Wanwan smiled and nodded: "Then I have to thank the second sister in advance, not more, just one or two baskets." ”
The amused Princess Yanqing laughed, Jiao Wanwan turned her head to look at Zhao Defang, Zhao Defang couldn't help laughing, this princess is really interesting.
