Chapter 114: Tea Ceremony

Cheng Chi looked at the empty table and laughed.

And Zhou Shaojin didn't even enter the teahouse that his ears were still hot.

I hope that when she goes in again, Uncle Chi has forgotten about it.

Zhou Shaojin walked to the stove with a flushed face, not noticing the breeze and the moon sitting in the corner eating fried beans.

Qingfeng and Lang Yue were very surprised when they saw Zhou Shaojin, and the two couldn't help but exchange a look - Zhou Shaojin's eyes were red, and he cried at first glance.

Lang Yue turned her elbow on the breeze.

Qingfeng snorted softly and turned his face away.

Lang Yue had no choice, smiled helplessly, took out the fried beans from his pocket and handed them to Zhou Shaojin.

"Miss Second Cousin," he said with a smile, "you eat beans." ”

Zhou Shaojin has been eating delicious food since she was a child, the taste is soft, and she usually doesn't eat hard foods like fried beans. But she still smiled and thanked her, took the fried beans and put them in her pocket, and naturally saw the breeze sitting on the small stick in the corner.

She smiled and nodded at the breeze.

Qingfeng was expressionless.

Zhou Shaojin didn't bother to pay attention to him, and picked up the kettle to fill the water.

Lang Feng hurriedly said: "Second Miss, I'll come, I'll come." ”

"No need." Zhou Shaojin refused with a smile.

She needed to do something now to make herself forget about her embarrassment.

Zhou Shaojin fetched water, put the pot on the stove, took the pu fan in his hand, and sat on the small pestle in front of the stove to fan the fire.

"Second cousin, let's do it with me!" Lang Yue went to take the pu fan in Zhou Shaojin's hand and said, "The fourth master of our family can be particular, the person who makes tea is the person who makes tea, and the person who boils water is the person who boils water, so don't be polite to me." What if the charcoal dust gets your hands dirty? You're still sitting on the sidelines, waiting for me to boil the water and shout hello! ”

"Really?" Zhou Shaojin was a little hesitant.

The last time she met Uncle Chi in Sanzhixuan, it seemed that she boiled the water and made the tea...... Uncle Chi didn't say anything!

Could it be that he is trying to relieve him?

She thought about it, and saw that there were white-burned ash crumbs floating out of the stove and falling on her hand, so she handed the fan to Lang Yue.

Lang Yue smiled and pointed to a copper basin next to her, and said, "Miss Second Cousin, go and clean your hands!" There is a small pestle over there, Sister Nanping likes to eat some refreshments when she drinks tea, and there are plums and olives in the stuffy cupboard over there, you are welcome, you can eat whatever you like. When I've boiled the water, I'll call you to make tea. After speaking, he shouted "Qingfeng" and said, "You go and get a box to come over, and see what the second cousin likes to eat?" Pack a box. ”

Qingfeng silently took out a box from the stuffy cupboard that Lang Yue said, and asked Zhou Shaojin in a deep voice: "Second Cousin, what do you want to eat?" ”

Zhou Shaojin didn't want to eat anything, she just hoped that Cheng Chi would forget what she had just done.

"You don't have to worry about me." She politely refused, "If I want to have any refreshments, I'll just tell you." ”

While the two were talking, Nanping walked in.

Her jet-black green silk combed a round bun, inserted a jasper hairpin, and wore an aqua-green lake silk bikini, smiling, looking gentle and demure.

"Miss Second Cousin, you're here." She smiled and blessed Zhou Shaojin, and said, "The smell of charcoal here is heavy, you should go to the corridor and sit for a while!" When the water boils, it's not too late for the breeze to call the second lady again. ”

Zhou Shaojin saw that Nanping was sincere, but it was not good to insist, so he was accompanied by Nanping and walked out of the teahouse.

Nanping saw that her eyelids were red, but her face was snow-white, not only did she not see the wolf, but she had a kind of weak and touching posture.

She couldn't help but secretly admire.

This second cousin lady in the fourth room is really beautiful!

is not only beautiful, but also has a pitiful softness and delicacy between the corners of the eyes and eyebrows, and between the gestures, as if the flower will be broken with a little force.

No wonder she cried, and the fourth master didn't reprimand her loudly.

In the future, I don't know whose son-in-law has this blessing to marry her.

These thoughts were just flashes in Nanping's mind.

She smiled and greeted Zhou Shaojin: "Do you still do needlework when you are free these days?" The last time I went, I saw you making a woman's dress, and if I read it correctly, it looks like a moonlit dress. I didn't expect the second lady's female popularity to be so good, even the Yuehua skirt would be made. ”

Zhou Shaojin said modestly: "It's just an eye-catcher, and it's not as skilled as the masters in the sewing room." ”

"They're good at eating," Nanping said with a smile, "if they're worse than us, they're worth it." ”

As the two were talking, Lang Yue poked her head out: "Second Cousin, the tea is ready." ”

Zhou Shaojin responded with a smile, went to the teahouse to get tea, and said to Nanping: "We'll talk about it later." ”

Nanping smiled and watched Zhou Shaojin enter the open hall.

Huai Shan didn't know where to come out, and said in a low voice, "Miss Tuesday is okay, right?" ”

"It's fine." Nanping smiled, "I think Miss Tuesday is quite sensible......"

The implication is how to cry.

Huaishan said: "I don't know...... She suddenly began to cry......" he said, touching his chin, and said quietly, "However, I haven't seen anyone dare to cry in front of the fourth master for a few years...... I was also shocked......"

Nanping condensed.

Zhou Shaojin pretended to be casual and put the teacup in Cheng Chi's hand, and called out sweetly, "Uncle Chi", and said, "You drink tea." ”

Cheng Chi looked at her crooked eyebrows, if there was a wagging tail behind her, she would be like a Persian cat who only pleases her master.

He smiled and said "um" and took a sip from the teacup.

The big stone in Zhou Shaojin's heart fell to the ground.

After drinking her tea, even if it is not a blame in the past!

Zhou Shaojin sat on the Taishi chair at the head of Cheng Chi.

Cheng Chi asked her, "Do you have something to ask me?" ”

When Zhou Shaojin went to make tea, he thought about it, since she didn't come to him for Cheng Xiangqing's business, nor did she come to him for Cheng Jiashan's business, there was only one possibility, like last time, because she came to ask him because she didn't understand something.

How can Zhou Shaojin talk about the ancestors of the second room straight to the point. Isn't that rumor always the last person to know? Although Uncle Chi is powerful, if the ancestor of the second room is very secretive, Uncle Chi respects him as an elder, and he doesn't notice it at all, so she says it bluntly, Uncle Chi will definitely not believe it.

Instead of bothering to explain, it is better to remind Uncle Chi euphemistically, and Uncle Chi will check it himself.

"Nope!" Zhou Shaojin said what he had thought about a long time ago, "Didn't the ancestor of the second room invite our family to a banquet last time when my father came back?" I was in the inner courtyard at the time, and after I went back, I heard from my father that you went to Huai'an, and that there was a problem with the batch of goods at home, and you went to Huai'an to deal with it. I was a little worried, thinking that I would send you tea, so I stopped by and wanted to ask Miss Nanping how your business was doing? I didn't expect to meet the breeze and say you've come back......"

In this case, the tea has been delivered, and she has seen his people, why should she stay with all her heart?

Cheng Chi didn't believe her words.

I always feel like she has a following.

Sure enough, Zhou Shaojin smiled as he expected: "Uncle Chi, have you already dealt with the matter over there in Huai'an?" I don't know what it is, but I want you to run it yourself? My father has been regretting when he left, saying that Uncle Chi is very knowledgeable and elegant, he has only met you twice before for the sake of his career, and now he has the opportunity to talk to you for a long time, and you are too busy, and you were called by the stewards without saying a few words. He thought he would see you at the banquet, but he didn't expect you to go to Huai'an. As a result, he was called by the ancestor of the second room to play chess in the study, and he also called his cousin to serve tea and pour water on the side......" she said, grinning, as if she was watching Cheng Zhi's jokes, and said, "My father also said that he didn't expect Uncle Hong's foreign family to be the Saiyang Huang family." Uncle Chi, is the Saiyang Huang family famous? Is it more famous than Jiuru Lane? My father said that Jiuru Lane is the first in Jinling? Is it true? ”

Cheng Chi's heart shook slightly.

This little girl, is she here to warn him to be careful of the ancestors of the second room?

Does she even know what she's talking about?

Is this kind of thing something that her little girl can get involved with?

Cheng Chi said with a smile: "Jinling City is the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, the hidden dragon and the crouching tiger, how can Jiuru Lane be regarded as the first in Jinling?" Where is the Gu family in Plum Blossom Lane? There is also the Guo family in Stone Lane, which one is not more profound than our Cheng family. You can't talk about that outside. ”

"I know!" Zhou Shaojin pursed his lips and smiled, "I'll talk about it in front of Uncle Chi." ”

She was very anxious.

Did Uncle Chi understand his own words?

Would she like to be more blunt?

Zhou Shaojin was a little undecided.

Cheng Chi found that her left hand was holding her right hand, and her fingers seemed to be twisted together again.

I wonder if anyone else has found out about her?

Fortunately, she is just a deep boudoir woman, and if she acts outside, she is afraid that she will be calculated by others in three or two strokes.

However, even if she is a deep boudoir woman, if she marries someone in the future, she does not have to deal with her mother-in-law and her concubine, but it is still easy to be figured out.

He couldn't help but say, "Do you know that your fingers are twisted together as soon as something happens in your heart?" ”

"Huh?!" Zhou Shaojin's eyes widened.

Didn't you say something about him? Why did you suddenly talk about her?

She was a little overwhelmed.

Cheng Chi has already said: "Has anyone told you that you have this problem?" ”

Is this a problem?

Zhou Shaojin came back to her senses after a while, and said, "I, my sister told me, but I can't change it......" She lowered her head a little ashamedly, "Later, I tried to go out as little as possible and stayed at home......

The room was silent for a while, without a sound.

Uncle Chi, you won't be angry because of this, will you?

Zhou Shaojin looked up at Cheng Chi uneasily.

I saw Cheng Chi's eyebrows frowning slightly, as if he was thinking about something.

Zhou Shaojin didn't know what was going on, so he had to sit there quietly, trying to make his breathing as soft as possible so as not to disturb him.

It was only a few breaths of effort, and Cheng Chi suddenly said: "When you are sitting, can you develop the habit of holding your hands tightly together?" No matter what time it is, your hands are clasped tightly together. He said, his eyes falling on her hand, "Don't let people think you're nervous, but let people think you're acting like this." ”

Sisters, today is the last day of 2014...... Is there a pink ticket, ask for a pink ticket...... O(∩_∩)O
