021 Tea Ceremony

The princess woke up from a nap for a while, and was fed a small bowl of mushroom black chicken soup by Mama Cai, swallowed a mouthful of hot soup, glanced at Mama Niu who was like a stake, and then asked lightly: "What's wrong with Sister Wu?" ”

Yesterday, the eldest prince contracted a cold and had invited a doctor to see a doctor and take medicine. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoToday, it's heavy again.

Mama Niu had a bitter face and replied: "The eldest prince is crying and crying, and he doesn't drink the medicine, and the master can't take him, so he says it...... I want to see my father. ”

Mama Fang didn't raise her eyelids, the prince sat at Wu Ji's place for an afternoon, and heard that the eldest prince would memorize the three-character scripture, and the prince praised him. But I didn't go to see it yesterday, but I contracted the wind cold, and today I still shout about my father. Mama Fang almost sneered in her heart, what kind of mother really gave birth to what kind of child.

The princess wiped the soup at the corner of her lips with a handkerchief, and said quietly: "If you don't drink medicine, how can you get better." The prince has not yet returned to the house, and the eldest prince misses his father, so he should take care of his body first. ”

There was a sound outside the courtyard, and there was a whispering of a maid, and the princess lowered her eyes and chuckled, and the Lin family arrived.

Lin Qixu got down from the warm sedan chair, recalled the rules that he was too tired to learn in his childhood, and slowly walked into the main courtyard. There are two tall cypress trees planted in the courtyard, which are a little monotonous in winter, there are rows of flower beds in the corners, and a few trunked begonias, three or two maids hang down under the porch, low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, very regular.

The little maid who had her own curtain lifted the tight large suede drape, and a warm aroma greeted her. Lin Qixu didn't dare to look at the environment of the hall too much, looking at the one-third of an acre of land in front of him, he could only see the jujube red woven carpet with the echo cloud brocade, and a few Luan-patterned rose chairs with yellow pear, listening to the sound of the inner room, he couldn't help but sweat in his palms.

Yan Xiao and Mama Qin were standing in the hall, their faces expressionless, but the afterglow was turning on the Lin family, and another maid served a pot of hot tea and a set of pastel peony pattern tea cups, standing aside.

I don't know how long it took, Lin Qixu stared at the ten auspicious brocade patterns on the surface of his feet, and he was about to faint. The little maid opened a row of bead curtains, and she could only hear someone say lightly, "In this case, Mama Niu, you go back first, so that you can tell the eldest prince to drink medicine and rest." When the prince returns home, I will explain. ”

"Yes, the old slave will retire first." The cow lady saluted, looked at her twice, and went straight away.

This voice is the princess herself.

Lin Qixu, not to mention that he was tired at the moment, he hadn't slept steadily for several nights, and his heart was also up and down, which was really uncomfortable.

The princess was supported by someone to sit down on the couch, holding a small purple gold beast furnace in her hand, and looked condescendingly at the Lin family who was standing a foot away in front of her, with simple clothes and low eyebrows. The interior of the hall is richly decorated, rich and magnificent, and the servants are respectful and respectful, and they do not hear a sound.

Lin Qixu stood numb in his legs and feet, but he also understood that the princess was giving her a dismount, and the woman who came in from outside the mansion kowtowed to tea, and it was inevitable to knock it.

After a long time, the princess said calmly: "Sister Lin, don't be so restrained, come forward." ”

Lin Qixu lowered his head and walked slowly, standing about a foot in front of the chaise longue, as far as he could see, he could see a pair of white jade agate bracelets on the princess's snow-white wrists, the skirt was very good in color, and the materials were of high quality.

The princess said softly, "Raise your head." ”

Lin Qixu took a breath quietly, slowly raised his face, but his eyes did not dare to turn to the princess's face, a big red thorn golden peony flower that fell on the princess's chest, her eyes were gentle and humble, and she looked calm.

The princess looked at her carefully for a while, and saw that although she looked tired and dressed plainly, her eyes were clear, neither humble nor arrogant. Look, it is very dignified and proper everyone's daughter, the princess looked at it for a long time, and glanced at Mama Cai, and her impression of this Lin family in her heart did not have the original contempt for it.

"The royal palace is noble and the etiquette is rigorous. The prince told me, Sister Lin is from a Jiangnan family, I am afraid that the rules of the capital are a little rusty, I thought about it, and arranged a nurturing grandmother to teach you carefully. The princess gestured to Mama Jiang sent by her mother yesterday. He Yan Yue said, "This is Mama Jiang, who will serve you with Yanzhu in the future." ”

"The old slave has seen Miss Lin." Mama Jiang was born rigid and square, not angry but mighty. Lin Qixu only smiled faintly, avoided it slightly, and did not accept the salute, and said, "Thank you Princess for your careful arrangement." ”

The princess regent made a look, Yan Xiao took the soot ball mat prepared on the side, spread it on the ground, and Ah Wu brought the tray and stepped forward.

Yan Zhu gently pushed Lin Qi behind his back, and his heart was slightly relieved. With the current situation of the Lin family, the princess did not like it, so she sent her to learn the rules for a few days first, and then kowtow to the tea after a few thorough manners in the future. No one can stand out for the Lin family, and the Lin family has to go up and down, and live in the Agarwood Pavilion without a name. Fortunately, there were no people.

Lin Qixu held his breath and concentrated, took two steps forward, slowly pulled up his skirt, touched the cushion on his knees, and knelt down silently. With his hands in front of him, he bowed down in a humble posture and kowtowed three heads firmly.

Three acts passed before my eyes.

The first knock was the smiling face of my sister who was taken away in a hurry.

The second knock is the bleak and tragic image of my aunt coughing up blood all day long and dying of illness in bed.

The third knock is Qichen's flying and smug smile.

Tears glistened in his eyes.

When she looked up and looked at her, her demeanor was humble, her demeanor was steady, and there were clouds of mist floating in her eyes, the princess couldn't really see her thoughts, so she only nodded quietly. Yan Zhu personally poured seven points full of tea and handed it to Lin Qixu steadily.

Lin Qixu stretched out his hand to take it, swallowed his saliva, raised the teacup with both hands, and said respectfully: "Please drink tea for the princess." ”

The tea had been dried for a while, about eight minutes hot, and the tea cup was resting on the fingertips, although there was discomfort, but it was also bearable. Lin Qixu knew that in a big family, if the aunt served tea, the housemother would have to beat it. On the one hand, establish rules and majesty, and on the other hand, it is also to make a room full of servants to see.

The princess is not ignorant and mean, and the Lin family is quite sensible, so after waiting for a while, she took the teacup, touched her lips and put it on the mahogany table on the side. Mama Qin handed over the purse prepared early and a red gold peach blossom and golden hairpin to Lin Qixu, Lin Qixu took it with both hands, bowed his head and said, "Thank you, princess." ”

The princess taught her as a good mother again, which was nothing more than some calls such as "sisterly love" and "good life serving the prince", and added a sentence at the end: "If the slave is not to his liking, or if there is anything wrong with his daily life, just report it to me." ”

"The princess is very loving, and the concubine will be remembered one by one."

Lin Qixu thanked him again.

The princess was very satisfied with Lin Qixu's knowledge, and said with a smile: "There are still a lot of things to deal with here, and the Agarwood Pavilion has ordered someone to clean it up." You have been running all the way, and now you are taking Mama Jiang and Yanzhu to go back and rest. As for the slaves and maids brought from Jiangnan, when you ask for peace tomorrow, you can bring them over. ”

"The concubine understands, so she won't disturb the princess." Lin Qi was blessed, and Fang left slowly.
