Chapter 422: Acquaintances
Zhou Li was silent for a while, the atmosphere was originally very cheerful and harmonious, because of the arrival of the Ruyan brothers and sisters, it became a little depressed and unpleasant, Mingzhu did not complain anything, but said with a smile: "I have eaten almost enough, this tea is not very good, I will take you to the tea room for a while, drink a cup of tea, I will make tea for you alone, okay?" ”
Zhou Li turned his head to look at her, nodded with a smile, and was a little apologetic in his eyes, he hadn't seen her for a few days, and he had a strange idea in his heart, and he wanted to make a beauty smile, but he messed up in his life, and he felt a little bad in his heart.
"Let's go, it's still a little early to watch juggling, let's go and rest, last time my brother took me to the tea room, there was a little brother who played a good piano, much better than me, let's listen to the music." Mingzhu's smile was bright and bright, and she didn't care about what she was worried about just now, and she looked heartless.
"Okay, I've been thinking about the word you gave me in the cup last time, it's so good, why wouldn't I?"
"That's the craft of dividing tea, and I also learned it from others, and I've been tinkering with it for a long time. You also know that I have a good face, the tea art is elegant and calm, even going out to show my friends is also a face-saving thing, but I have practiced it hard. Mingzhu laughed and teased.
"You're still smart, you can learn something as soon as you learn it, and you can understand it at a glance." Zhou Li couldn't help but praise.
"Haha! That's because you haven't seen how hard I practice in private, my mother said that I am a ruthless child, and I am even more ruthless to others and myself, I just like to be the first to be an excellent child, no matter where I go, I don't want to be told that you can't. But if I want to like something, I have to learn it to the extreme, so that others can't find fault with it, as for what kind of price to pay, I don't care if it will hurt myself, as long as I can learn it well. My mother said that this character is not good, and it is easy to go to extremes. My mother and my grandmother often pressed me to copy the Tao Te Ching for them, just to get my temperament. "Mingzhu knows that her character is flawed.
But there is no way to change it, as a princess in the previous life, you have to be the first everywhere, and if you don't fight, you won't survive. Now that he has been reincarnated again but has not drunk Meng Po soup, there are some things that he can't forget when he is used to it, which is probably why the king of Hades let people and Meng Po soup, forgetting the past and starting all over again, it may not be a blessing.
"It's true, it's not necessarily good to be too perfect, it's going to be very tiring." Zhou Li didn't blindly flatter Mingzhu, but told the truth, the two of them have their own way of getting along, and Mingzhu doesn't like others to blindly flatter and praise, it sounds very boring.
"I know, I know in my heart, but I can't stabilize myself when it comes to a critical time." Mingzhu smiled and nodded to admit the shortcomings.
The two walked to a good tea room while talking, this tea room was opened by the family of the old prince, the style was very elegant, all the dignitaries came to drink a cup of tea, talk and talk about private topics, there are private rooms and scattered stages, the scattered stage has set up a stage, you can listen to music and sing, there are several different kinds of opera troupes, there are Suzhou, as well as Beijing flavor, there are storytellers, there are also piano dancing performances, there are many types, different time periods of performance, there are quite a lot of people coming.
If you like quiet, you can go to the private room in the backyard, the yard is particularly delicate and elegant, according to the layout of the water town in the south of the Yangtze River, and a small bamboo forest is planted.
The private room is divided into three layouts, each with a different name, and the layout is never repeated, each with its own characteristics, very novel, and has been warmly welcomed by many people in the noble circle of Kyoto.
Zhou Li really came for the first time, but he had heard of it a long time ago, and after coming in, he looked at it curiously, and couldn't help but praise: "It's really good, I didn't expect Uncle Wang to be so willing to spend money." The silver here is not old or young. ”
"Really, you see which screen is gloomy wood, such a large piece is also extremely rare, the waist is carved quite nagging, with a heavy and deep feeling, really good."
Mingzhu is full of praise for the layout here, and it can be seen that it is a very clever and truly intelligent and elegant person.
"Well, I know that Uncle Wang has a relative, a girl, raised by Uncle Wang's side since childhood, a little withdrawn, but a good person, the most like elegant and capable people, as long as there is real ability, beggars are willing to bend their waists, but if they have a big face, they don't care about you." Zhou Li said with a smile.
"If only I had a chance to meet someone like that." Mingzhu smiled and asked the maid to ask for a private room.
"It's rare that you have someone you admire?" Zhou Li squinted and teased, with a hint of a smile in his narrow phoenix eyes.
"There are people outside the world, I admire people who have the ability, and the hero doesn't ask where he comes from." Mingzhu is not arrogant, she never thinks that she is anything special, and hard work is what geniuses also need.
"Well said, Brother Li, what do you think of my arrangement?" A bounky boy interjected.
The two looked back, and Zhou Li came up with a smile and made a junior salute like a child, "Oops! Uncle Wang, why are you, I haven't seen you for a long time, and you're still so tough! ”
The person who came was the old Uncle Wang in the clan, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, it could be seen that he was also handsome and extraordinary when he was young, and his momentum was already restrained, and he looked kind and peaceful.
"Well, your kid has been back for a long time, is there any wine that you gave me last time, which rose wine do you want, my daughter asked for it, and give me a few more jars."
"Uncle Wang, don't worry, I'll send you home another day. That's the wine concocted by Mingzhu, I don't know if you like to drink it or not, let her get you a few more jars another day and you can try it. Zhou Li smiled and took the initiative to help Uncle Wang and go to the private room.
"It's a gift to Uncle Wang." Mingzhu waited for them to finish speaking, and then stepped forward and saluted.
"Well, you are the little pearl, the queen mother's eyeballs! Not bad! Don't blame the Queen Mother for hurting you. My granddaughter also asked me to thank you, and when I came back, I was sick, and I was sick for more than a month, and I took several months to see well, and I didn't have time to thank you, don't be surprised! "Uncle Wang is very modest.
Mingzhu hurriedly smiled and said, "Uncle Wang, you're polite, didn't you break me." What a big deal, besides, everyone's lives were hanging in the balance at that time, and I was also trying to keep myself alive, and I couldn't afford to thank you, so I'm ashamed! It didn't help much, but fortunately the guards and the cavalry battalion came to the rescue in time, otherwise we would be really in danger. She smiled and waved her hand, not embarrassed.
The smile on Uncle Wang's face was much more sincere, "Come on, sit down, it's all your own family, I'm not so foul-minded, what is the name of the fragrant balls you gave to my granddaughter last time, my granddaughter smelled and slept much more steadily, she liked it very much, let me ask you for a little bit of cheekiness." ”
This is not to take Mingzhu as an outsider, and she will also be the daughter-in-law of the clan in the future, so she will not see the outside.
"Oh, that's soothing, I heard that Xiaohui had insomnia, I guess I was scared at the time, she experienced such blood at such a young age, not to mention her, I went back and had nightmares for several days, talking nonsense in my sleep, scaring my mother so much that I wanted to run to the temple three times a day. I've used things myself, and my grandmother used some occasionally, so if you like me to make something for people to send over? Mingzhu said in an inquiring tone. (To be continued.) )
