Chapter 223: Making Tea (The First Plus of the Monthly Pass)
Mama Zhong smiled and gave Fang an idea: "It's not difficult!" Let's just find someone to ask for some Zhongling Spring to go back, who knows if our spring water was given by Miss Zhou Jiaer or obtained from someone else? It's always true that the fourth master of the Cheng family drew Zhongling Spring next to Jinshan, right? ”
Fang Clan immediately figured out the trick.
She nodded slightly.
Mama Zhong knew that this matter was done, and said, "I'll send someone to Shanquanju to ask for something." ”
Shanquanju is the largest teahouse in Zhenjiang, and people will be sent to the river to draw water every day, and it also relies on the spring water of this Zhongling Spring.
Fang Shi was a little uneasy, thought about it, and said, "When the time comes, my sedan chair will stop outside the mountain spring residence." ”
can let the big shopkeeper of Shanquanju know the importance of things and not talk nonsense.
Mama Zhong happily responded and asked about going to Mrs. Guo this time: "...... Did the old lady answer? ”
The corners of Fang's eyes showed a little joy, and he said, "Yes!" ”
"Amitabha!" Mama Zhong couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and read a sentence with her hands folded.
Fang Shi thought for a moment and said, "I think what you said makes sense. The Zhou sisters were only very favored in the Cheng family - the old lady was embarrassed at first, and then she agreed very happily, I invited the old lady to come to the house as a guest, and the old lady said at the time, "Since it is a family, it is indispensable to move around in the future, so you don't have to be so polite", I thought at first that it was cousins who meant me and Mrs. Yuan, and I was happy for Mrs. Yuan, and her mother-in-law finally became kind to her. Now it seems that it is only the Zhou sisters. ”
Mama Zhong is the most considerate person in the Fang family, and naturally knows that Mrs. Yuan is not as decent in front of Old Madam Guo as it is rumored outside. When the two families of Liao and Zhou got married, the Fang family felt that they had been wronged, and they had visited Mrs. Guo, who knew that Mrs. Guo had a tone of "This is the decision of your two sisters, and it has nothing to do with me", otherwise the Fang family would not be so disappointed.
She pondered in her heart and pondered: "Big lady, could it be the second miss of the Zhou family?" At that time, the eldest lady of the Zhou family was also fourteen years old, and the second miss of the Zhou family should only be seven or eight years old. If the favored one was the eldest lady of the Zhou family, Mrs. Guo should not have said such things at that time. ”
Fang's face was slightly red, and he said: "I don't blame the old lady for that incident, I was not satisfied with this family affair at the time, and it was probably because the old lady saw that it was so polite." However, there is truth in your words. It's just that the eldest lady of the Zhou family will marry in a few months, no matter who is favored, for the sake of the two sisters, we can be so busy in our Liao family, it is beneficial to our Liao family, and we can run this in-law business well. What's more, the in-law has been promoted to the prefect of Baoding, I only hope that he can rise to the top and help our family Shaotang in the future. As for the master, I am already dead set on him. He doesn't have a son who can endure hardship, so how can the title of the two Jinshi fall from the sky? You just need to know about it, don't reveal it. This matter is the old lady that the master forced me to beg, and I have been able to explain it to the master, so don't make any more troubles. ”
Mama Zhong hurriedly responded "yes".
The Liao family looked at the flowers, and the sect looked at the infinite scenery, in fact, after the death of Lao Anren, the incompetent eldest man lost his mother's protection but only dared to count the Fang family, which made the Fang family and their family very difficult in the Liao family.
Fang's family instructed Mama Zhong: "After you go back, go and talk to the chief manager, saying that after the uncle gets married, he will take his new grandmother to live in the capital permanently, and there is a place to put things, and the house next door does not need to be opened." If someone asks, you say that it was brought up by Mrs. Guo when I went to visit Mrs. Guo of the Cheng family this time, and wanted our uncle to study with the eldest master of the Cheng family, such a good thing, how could I push it out? Immediately. Then I went to tell the second steward in charge of the accounting room, let me go to Beijing and help the uncle buy a house to settle in, the house should be good, it is best to be close to the Cheng family, and the silver will be paid by me. This house will also be recorded in the name of the uncle in the future, and it will be regarded as the property that I purchased for the uncle's relatives. ”
Mama Zhong was stunned and said, "Can the uncle also follow the master into Beijing together?" Isn't it bad to let the new grandmother serve the uncle and the eldest master alone? Why don't you send a house to the uncle, or let the uncle and the eldest master live in the Liao family's house......"
"Don't bother." Fang Shi said coldly, "People only promised to let the eldest master go to the capital to take the exam, and let the second master Wei point out his time, I am going to let the eldest master go to the capital to live in the hedge, at home like this, the uncle follows his unstruggling father every day to be wronged, what's the point?" As for studying with Master Jing, I didn't expect Mrs. Guo to agree so easily, and my mind was a little confused for a while, and I didn't react. You will go to meet the second lady of the Zhou family tomorrow, and tell her all these things in the family, if the Cheng family can talk about it without me, Xiang also took the initiative to let the uncle study with Master Jing, and I will hand over the affairs of the capital to the eldest lady of the Zhou family in the future. I've got a helper, too! If not, then I will give up my old face and go to Jinling in person. It's a big deal, I invited my mother's family to come forward and beg Mrs. Guo. How can I not let the eldest master be laughed at for his reputation. ”
Mama Zhong promised repeatedly.
Where did Zhou Shaojin think that because of Lang Yue's beating, her sister and brother-in-law had a house for nothing compared to their previous lives, and her sister didn't have to be like in her previous life, she was tortured in the Liao family for several months before she had the opportunity to go to the capital to serve Liao Shaotang, and since then she has lived with her mother-in-law Wang Wangdi for a period of time, and it is also because of this time that Zhou Chujin and Liao Shaotang have no influence from others, and their feelings for each other are changing day by day, and finally Liao Shaotang would rather give up the position of the sect to keep his wife and children.
She happily went to Mrs. Guo's house with Zhongling spring water.
Mrs. Guo heard that Zhou Shaojin was holding Zhongling Spring, which is known as "the first spring in the world", and was very interested.
Zhou Shaojin said with great interest: "I'll make you a pot of tea, right?" ”
Mrs. Guo even claimed "good".
Mama Lu went to get the tea set in person with a very eye-catching look.
Zhou Shaojin naturally sat cross-legged in front of the coffee table on the Luohan bed, boiling water, scalding cups, dividing tea, washing tea, and brewing...... A whole set of actions is like flowing water, comfortable as a cloud, elegant and confident, like a first-class South Pearl, exuding a moist light, so that Mrs. Guo can't help but sigh to Mama Lu: "This is really beautiful tea, I am blessed today." Praise Zhou Shaojin's face was flushed, and he hurriedly invited Mrs. Guo to taste tea.
Mrs. Guo smelled the fragrance of tea, slowly sipped the tea, nodded again and again, and said, "This Zhongling spring water is really worthy of its reputation. Yesterday we also drank too much Monkey Kui, no better than not knowing, this comparison will feel out, the tea brewed with Zhongling spring water is more clear than the tea brewed with other water. However, Shao Jin's tea is also well chosen, the Taiping Houkui soup is clear and green, it is a mellow orchid fragrance, and the water for making tea is clear, which just complements each other. If we choose the Lu'an melon slices we drank two days ago, it will not be so delicious - Lu'an melon slices are mild, with the fragrance of ripe chestnuts, the soup color is apricot yellow and bright, and we use Zhongling spring water to soak, but I am afraid that the spring water will suppress the taste and fragrance of Lu'an melon slices, and it will be inferior. As for the technique of making tea, it is even better. The movements are clean and neat, without a trace of dragging, but they are gentle and tactful, soft and rigid, which is the essence of the tea ceremony, the essence of the mean...... Very good! Very good! ”
Zhou Shaojin didn't expect Mrs. Guo to have such a high evaluation of herself, her face turned crimson, and she was about to be modest, when Cheng Chi's voice suddenly appeared in her ears: "What's the matter?" Mother said it, and I was happy too! ”
"Uncle Chi!" Zhou Shaojin jumped up and saw Cheng Chi walking in with a smile.
Old Madam Guo smiled and said, "This is really early rather than lucky." Shao Jin just made tea, you can taste it too. ”
"Oh!" Cheng Chi walked in to see the scene in the house, and he had already guessed seven or eight points in his heart, and sat opposite his mother with great interest, Zhou Shaojin hurriedly took a small cup out and made a pot of cups for Cheng Chi again.
Cheng Chi took a sip.
Mrs. Guo asked Cheng Chi with a smile: "What?" ”
Cheng Chi nodded and said, "Zhongling Spring Water is worthy of the title of 'the first spring in the world'!" ”
Mrs. Guo said with a smile: "Although this utensil is good, it also depends on who uses it." Zhongling spring water is used by Shaojin to brew Taiping Houkui to have such an effect, if it is other tea, it may not be so delicious. ”
Cheng Chi glanced at Zhou Shaojin, who was standing on the side, his ears were so red that he seemed to be dripping blood, and thought, no wonder this little girl can please her mother. He drew a bucket of Zhongling spring water, in addition to the fact that he drew back this spring water, and liked to use this spring water to make tea, it was not without the meaning of a surprise to his mother. But the spring water is not something else, it will be bad after a long time, so he ordered Lang Yue to send a little alone, and his mother sent it by himself. Unexpectedly, after this little girl got the spring water, not only did she not hide it, but she immediately gave it to her mother to taste...... It's not in vain that her mother felt sorry for her.
He smiled and teased his mother: "You are too partial, you have not finished my words, you have reprimanded me, can you wait for me to finish speaking, if you still feel that you don't like it, you can train me again!" ”
"Who are you learning from?" Old Madam Guo couldn't help but laugh when she heard this, and said, "Don't restrain in front of your mother, be careful to scare Shaojin!" ”
Cheng Chi smiled: "She has you to protect her, will she be afraid that I won't succeed?" ”
Zhou Shaojin was teased by Zhou Chi's mother and son, her face was like fire, and she lowered her head and didn't dare to raise her eyelids.
Mrs. Guo looked very interesting, but she also felt pity, and scolded Cheng Chi: "How can you be an uncle like this." Shao Jin, come to me and ignore him. ”
Zhou Shaojin was like a frightened rabbit, and hid behind Mrs. Guo in a puff of smoke.
Cheng Chi couldn't help laughing.
Mrs. Guo took Zhou Shaojin's hand and comforted her softly: "You don't have to be afraid of him, there is me!" ”
Zhou Shaojin muttered yes.
Mrs. Guo took the teacups in front of her to Cheng Chi and instructed him: "Make a pot of tea!" ”
