Chapter 138: Hou Mansion
Liuyun Pavilion is a first-class leisure place in the capital, a place for those rich and idlers, noble ladies and ladies to have fun, and both men and women can come.
There are three of the most famous in it, tea, wine and opera. Vegetarian food and snacks are also delicious, novel and unique, and different from other restaurants.
Of course, its threshold is also quite high, and no two people are allowed to enter, rich and noble, and true celebrities. Others, no matter how much silver you have piled up in your house, will not be able to get in.
Entering the Liuyun Pavilion, under the leadership of the maid, Xiao Wang's party entered the teahouse Qingyun Zhai.
Qingyun Zhai specializes in cooking purple bamboo shoot tea, purple bamboo shoots, above the roof, its taste is particularly heavy, "a gun flag, purple bamboo shoots spiritual buds, pick and smoke and rain", it can be seen that purple bamboo shoots are rare.
There are poems: Jue comes to cook stone springs, and purple bamboo shoots are light milk. There is also a sentence of "the fragrance of tea floats purple bamboo shoots, and the wisps fall red scales", all of which describe the delicious and fragrant taste of purple bamboo shoot tea.
Compared with light-tasting teas such as Longjing, Maojian, and Tieguanyin, purple bamboo shoots have a heavier taste, but Xiao Wang's preference is for this kind of mellow tea. Every time you go to Liuyun Pavilion, you must enter Qingyun Zhai, and when you enter Qingyun Zhai, you will drink purple bamboo shoot tea.
After entering the house, Xiao Wang waved his hand and left the maids and grandmothers at the door, she took off her shoes and walked in slowly, and sat down on the futon behind the short one.
On the other side of the short table, there was already a young woman in a lake green skirt waiting, this was the maid specially trained by Liuyun Pavilion to cook tea for guests, her name was Li Zheng, and she was used by Xiao Wang's family. Every time Xiao Wang came here, she was ordered.
Seeing Xiao Wang, Li Zheng smiled at her, folded his hands on his waist and bowed to her.
Xiao Wang called softly, "No need to be polite, it's not the first time we've met." If you have that time, why don't you start cooking tea earlier, and I'll just wait to drink your purple bamboo shoots. โ
Li Zheng smiled softly, "Mrs. Meng can afford it, so I'll cook tea for Mrs. Meng." Please be a moment, madame. โ
Next, the two stopped talking, Li Zheng concentrated on cooking tea, and Xiao Wang watched quietly.
Speaking of which, although Xiao Wang's family said that he came for the purple bamboo shoots, a large part of it was for Li Zheng's tea cooking skills.
Needless to say, the taste is the process of cooking tea, the flowing movements, every move is elegant and moving. Although it is not the first time to witness it, every time Xiao Wang will look at it intently and show admiration.
It is like a guest to cheer up, like picking an eagle's mouth in a fangfang.
Just looking at it is infinitely enjoyable.
After cooking tea, Li Zheng leaned over and offered a cup of purple bamboo shoot tea, and then Lianbu moved lightly and slowly retreated.
She knew the habits of this Fuyuan Marquis, and she didn't like to have someone by her side when she was drinking tea.
Xiao Wang is very satisfied with her knowledge, otherwise how would she find this one? It's not just that the tea is cooked well, but the most important thing is the look. Know when you should do it and when you shouldn't.
The white smoke curling in the teacup rose, and the mist was in front of her, making Xiao Wang's face a little blurry, but it made her seem as ethereal and moving as an immortal in the clouds.
After drinking a cup of tea, a slightly heavy footstep sounded from the inner room, and he turned to Xiao Wang's body in a few steps.
Seeing this man who suddenly appeared, Xiao Wang was not surprised at all.
I saw that this man was between thirty and forty years old, tall, with good facial features, only his eyes were a little cloudy, he was wearing a stone blue narrow-sleeved brocade robe, and he was carrying a package in his hand. It was Xiang Yu that Ma Lianer mentioned before.
As soon as he came to Xiao Wang's face, he bowed and saluted, and called "master".
Xiao Wang replied lightly, "Tell me about the situation in that family." โ
Xiang Yu stood on one side, bowed slightly and said, "I took someone to inquire about the whereabouts of Jiang Yi's family all the way......
Later, he detailed the siege and killing of Jiang Rong's family that night, and in the end, "Things were beyond my expectations, I thought that it would be enough for twelve people to destroy that family, but I didn't expect Jiang Yi's martial arts to be more perfect than a few years ago."
"There are also a few little cubs in his family, who also have a lot of kung fu in hand, and they just entangled a few of our people."
Hearing this, Xiao Wang's gaze turned cold when he looked at him, "So, you haven't been able to complete the task I gave you?" โ
When she spoke, she spoke softly, gently and gently, but the meaning of the cold revealed in it made Yu Shengsheng shiver.
He hurriedly knelt down and said: "Although Jiang Yi's family was not killed on the spot, Jiang Yi was seriously injured and would definitely not survive the next day, and his subordinates also set a fire before leaving, and the family would definitely not be able to escape." โ
He regarded Mo Chuan as Jiang Yi.
Xiao Wang's voice was cold: "That's not for sure." That little cub's life is very hard. โ
She lowered her eyes and looked at the teacup in front of her, and said leisurely: "You go again, if you are lucky not to die, you should know how to do it, if you die, then you don't have to work hard." โ
"Yes." Xiang Yu said.
Xiao Wang's eyes fell on the package he was carrying, and he stretched out his hand and said, "Take it." โ
Xiang Yu hurriedly handed over the package, it was not anything else in this package, it was the third brother Ping'er that Jiang Rongzheng was looking for!
At the moment he was asleep, and his fat little face was particularly cute, and he had some flesh than before. It seems that although he fell into the hands of the enemy, he was not mistreated.
Xiao Wang's family had previously designated to get him in his hands, and ordered him to take care of him, and not allow the slightest injury, how dare Xiang Yu abuse him?
This way, a few of their brothers slept in the open air, and they also racked their brains to wait for the little baby.
Children are the same every day, so Brother Ping not only did not lose weight, but also grew better.
Xiao Wang took the package, looked at the little baby sleeping soundly, his eyes softened involuntarily, and he couldn't help but reach out and gently pinch his white and tender little bun face a few times.
"In the future, you will be my little grandson! Grandma takes you home to ......."
After kissing the future little grandson for a while, Xiao Wang reluctantly handed Brother Ping back to Xiang Yu and said, "Think of a way to send it to the Zhao family, and then lead her to recognize her relatives." โ
The Zhao family is a woman raised by Jiang Xuan (qiรกn), the eldest son of Xiao Wang, and is commonly known as the outer room.
Half an hour later, Xiao Wang came out.
From the time I came out to the present, half a day's work has passed.
After returning home, Xiao Wang's family returned to their own yard Zhong Xiuju, and the little maid Mint in Jiang Xuan's yard hurriedly ran over and said, "Madam, it's not good, the eldest prince has angered Hou Ye, and Hou Ye said that he wants to serve the family law!" โ
Xiao Wang listened to the hand holding the teacup, frowned slightly, but as if he hadn't heard it, he continued to take a sip of tea leisurely, and only after putting down the teacup steadily, did he ask, "What's going on?" Tell me about the causes and consequences. โ
Peppermint knelt on the ground and replied, "This morning, the eldest prince called Sister Hanlian into the house...... Jugging," when it comes to the word "juggling", her voice is like a mosquito and a fly, and her face is full of shame, as if this "juggling" makes people ashamed to speak.
Xiao Wang's eyebrows were raised, and a trace of anger crossed her eyes, thinking that she also knew what the "play" in the little girl's mouth was about.
Mint continued: "...... The movement from inside was really bigger, the slaves and maids wanted to go in to persuade them, but they didn't dare, they were in a dilemma, somehow, the Hou Ye actually came, and the slaves and maids were thinking about what to say to prevaricate, but there was a loud scream inside.
Hou Ye's face sank, and he immediately called someone in to drag the eldest prince out.
"When he saw the eldest prince's disheveled appearance, the Hou Ye's face was even more sunken and the rain was about to fall, so he rushed up and gave the eldest prince a kick, and then dragged the eldest prince to the outer study, saying that he wanted to serve the family law."
After mint finished speaking, his head lay on the ground, holding his breath and not daring to move.
The above Xiao Wang's expression was cold, his face seemed to be covered with a layer of ice, and the ups and downs of his chest were also a little bigger, which was obviously ruthless.
The atmosphere in the room became oppressive for a while, and the maids and maids all bowed their heads and shrunk their heads, for fear that one of them would accidentally make a movement and become an outlet for the lady.
Fortunately, Xiao Wang's family was not angry with her subordinates, she stood up and said tepidly: "Get up, and follow me to see." โ
All the way to the outer courtyard study, at the gate of the courtyard when the two little servants stopped Xiao Wang's party, one of the Xike apologized to Xiao Wang's family: "Please forgive Madame, Master Hou has instructed, no one can go in without his consent." โ
Xiao Wang was not surprised, and smiled slightly: "Then you go and report it, and I'll wait here." โ
Xike immediately went to the study, but before he could get close, he heard an angry roar from inside, "Bastard, see if I don't kill you!" โ
This is Hou Ye's voice, he has been by Hou Ye's side for many years, Xike has never seen Hou Ye express such a big anger, he can't help but shrink his neck, and he is a little timid in his heart, I don't know if I should knock on the door here.
Who wants that the next moment an object was thrown out, and the door was smashed open, and it fell into the yard with a "bang".
Xike secretly rejoiced in his heart, fortunately he hid quickly, otherwise he would have been smashed.
Take a closer look, which one is it that was thrown out and was it not the eldest prince? Ouch, it seems that this time the Hou Ye is really angry, and he is so ruthless, the eldest prince can't get up from lying on the ground for a long time.
Xike's sympathy was sympathy, but he didn't dare to step forward to help.
He entered the study and reported to Hou Ye: "Hou Ye, Madam is here." โ
Fuyuan Marquis Jiang Quan was standing in front of the window with his hands in his hands, sighed when he heard the words, turned around and said, "Let her in." โ
Xiao Wang came in and saw his son lying in the yard humming and chirping, he was angry and painful, angry and indisputable, and hurt his serious injuries.
But she knew that Hou Ye was angry at this moment, and if she blindly explained it for Ah Chan, it would add fuel to the fire. Therefore, she quickly glanced away from Jiang Xuan, took a deep breath, and stepped into the study.
When Xiao Wang entered, he saw Jiang Quan sitting on a chair, pressing his forehead with his hand, looking like he had a headache, and the thin anger on his face had not faded, and his expression was heavy.
She walked over lightly and came behind Jiang Quan, but did not speak, but reached out to massage him. (To be continued.) )
