At this time, in the old lady's house, there was not only Xia Shaoyuan who came to ask for peace, but also the tearful Miss Cousin Pearl, Xiangye actually didn't go to the court today, and at this time he was also sitting with a straight face under the old lady, and the atmosphere in the room seemed to be a little dignified.

Chu Feifei came in with a tea tray, raised her eyelids slightly, and secretly exclaimed in her heart that it was dangerous, fortunately, she prepared a lot of tea today, she originally thought that which master liked it, and might want it again, but now it seems that it is just right.

Chu Feifei lowered his head and walked up to the old lady respectfully, and did not speak, only quietly holding the tea tray. The old lady looked down at the clear tea soup, with a silver chrysanthemum ~ flower on it, and couldn't help but wonder: "Flower tea is common, but this kind of soup is rare, and it smells unusual." ”

Cai'e, the big girl on the side, hurriedly reached out to take out a lamp and handed it to the old lady, but she didn't want to touch it, so she jumped up: "Oh, why is it so icy?" ”

When everyone heard this, they were all surprised, this tea has always been boiled with boiling water, can it be made with cold water?

"Back to the old lady, the Biluochun in our house is a top-notch tea, it can also be brewed with a cold mountain spring, and the color is more bright, the slave maid thinks that in such a midsummer season, it is better to drink some iced tea to go to the heat." Chu Feifei lowered his head, but his voice was crisp.

The old lady took a sip of iced tea, and her brows stretched: "Well, it's really good, it's more sweet than the taste of ordinary Biluochun, this cold mountain spring seems to have a softer taste~ It's a lot smoother, and it has a peculiar aroma, but it's not the fragrance of this silver chrysanthemum, girl, what else do you put here?" ”

Chu Feifei was about to answer, but Xia Shaoyuan on the side had already shouted: "Don't say it yet, let me taste it, see if I guess accurately." ”

Xia Shaoyuan is obsessed with tea, everyone in this house knows it, the old lady smiled and said: "Go and send it to my good grandson, I'm afraid he will come up to grab it if it's late." ”

Although Xiangye Xia Guotao was full of worries, he had to smile at this time, took the tea cup offered by the maid beside him, and sure enough, his tentacles were cold, and he sniffed slightly, a strange spicy fragrance, smelling it made people feel refreshed.

Over there, Xia Shaoyuan had already tasted it again, and then showed an appreciative look: "This aroma is more mellow, not the aroma of chrysanthemum ~ flowers, but like some kind of medicinal fragrance, what medicinal materials did you add to this tea?" ”

Chu Feifei turned around and said with a smile: "The young master is so keen, the slave just added a little mint leaf juice, this mint quenches thirst, dispels heat and dispels gas, and now it is just right to use a little at this time." ”

In this era, mint was only dried for medicinal herbs, and the small kitchen was stocked with some commonly used medicinal herbs, and this dried mint was one of them.

Although dried mint does not smell as good as fresh mint, it is better because of its strong medicinal properties, and Chu Feifei only dared to use a little bit of it to simmer in boiling water, and then dilute it with cold water, and finally put it in tea, but even this little mint water is enough to make everyone in the room smell the faint mint fragrance.

When Miss Pearl heard this, she saw that most of the people in the room were full of surprise and praise, and she rushed up with anger and put down the teacup with a snap: "What's it, it's nondescript!" ”

Chu Feifei silently stepped aside, Xia Shaoyuan frowned slightly, but did not speak.

But Xia Xiangye above: "This kind of mind is also a coincidence, and it is good to be able to put the master's body in his heart." ”

The old lady also nodded again and again: "Feifei, this girl is not bad, it is better to raise the second class and increase the monthly silver." ”

Wage increase? Chu Feifei was very happy in his heart, even if he pretended to be bland, the smile on his face couldn't be hidden.

Xia Shaoyuan sighed in his heart when he saw it, he had no vision, and the monthly money of two taels of silver would be happy like this, if he followed him, the monthly case of twenty taels would not be stupid, but unfortunately, this dead girl is stubborn

Xia Shaoyuan was distracted here, and Miss Pearl over there saw Chu Feifei's overjoyed appearance, and she was even more unpleasant, wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, and said lightly: "Grandmother, it seems that there is no girl in our Pearl Garden who can make tea, so this little girl might as well give it to me." ”

The old lady's face stiffened slightly, and she glanced at Xia Shaoyuan, who raised his head and looked at the pearl lightly.

Pearl didn't seem to notice it at all, and still had an indifferent attitude: "It's just a little girl, grandmother won't blame Pearl for being abrupt." ”

Chu Feifei couldn't help but raise her eyelids and look at the pearl, according to the seniority, the pearl is a junior, according to her identity, she is a guest, but her attitude of speaking, no matter how she looks at it, it doesn't look like the style that Miss Cousin should have, but as if she has some handle in her hand and holds the Xia family.

There was silence in the room for a while, and Xia Xiangguo coughed lightly: "Pearl, when did you like to drink tea?" ”

Pearl smiled lightly: "I like it suddenly." ”

Even Xia Xiangguo's face is difficult to look at now.

This pearl is too ignorant, even if his Xia family owes her Zhang family, after so many years of careful taking, they have almost repaid this debt, not to mention that he is still her elder.

Xia Xiangguo put down the tea bowl heavily and brushed his sleeves away.

The old lady said with an unhappy face: "Pearl, your sister is still in a coma on the bed~ and has not woken up, you should also go and accompany your sister more." ”

Pearl picked up the fan on the table and shook it slowly: "There are so many imperial doctors around my sister, I'm just in the way there, I know that everyone feels sorry for my sister, and I can't wait to hold my sister in my hand, I'm the one who is disliked, and now I can't even ask for a little girl who makes tea." Speaking of this, Pearl seemed to be sad, picked up the veil and cried, "If my father is still alive"

"Okay, isn't it just a girl, just give it to you!" The old lady interrupted Pearl's crying, put on a straight face, and helped Cai's mother into the inner room.

Chu Feifei opened his mouth slightly, what do you mean? So you gave yourself to Miss Table? Isn't that a sheep in the mouth of a tiger?

Chu Feifei looked at Xia Shaoyuan, but saw Xia Shaoyuan shaking his head slightly, signaling her to be calm.

Xia Shaoyuan coughed lightly at this time: "Cousin Pearl, you like to drink tea, there is a girl named Xueqing in my yard, who can also make tea, and she is far more clever than this non-clever, usually serving people and gentle and considerate, and she looks pleasing to the eye, why don't I give that girl to you?" You also know that there are not many people available around your grandmother, and if we are juniors, we must always honor our elders if we are good, how can there be any reason to ask for people from our elders? ”

"And such a girl?" Pearl obviously has no impression of Xue Qing, she and her sister Yuzhu can be said to know everything about the maids around Xia Shaoyuan, like Xue Qing, who never goes forward, she has never paid attention to it.

Xia Shaoyuan sighed, revealing a stunned look: "Xueqing is a good girl, but since my cousin likes to drink tea, my grandmother has no use here, so I have no choice, alas"

Pearl was skeptical: "That Xueqing is so good, how can my cousin be willing to give it to Pearl?" ”

Xia Shaoyuan smiled slightly: "Cousin Pearl is not an outsider, let alone a girl, it is a rare treasure, as long as Cousin Pearl speaks, Shaoyuan will try his best to find it for his cousin." ”

A sentence that is not an outsider makes the pearl as happy as eating a smoothie on a dog day: "Really give it to me?" ”

"Yes, only for Cousin Pearl." Xia Shaoyuan knew where the pearl's heart knot was, anyway, the play had already been played, and it was not bad.

Chu Feifei glanced at the big eyes of Pearl on the other side, which were a little tearful with excitement, and Fang Xueqing's cold figure flashed in his mind, and he couldn't help but sigh for the future of Zhuyuan in his heart
