Chapter 128: Tea
Thinking of recruiting a new housekeeper, Tang Chengnian hurriedly followed Chu Liangyu's footsteps.
"I only have Chu Liangyu in my heart." Lu Qiuen waited for Tang Chengnian to leave, and said with a little jealousy.
Su Yin and others directly pretended to be ostriches, Du Ziruo looked at the sky, and Du Zixun looked at the ground.
But they were thinking about the same thing in their hearts: Tang Chengnian, when will you come back.
β¦β¦
"Senior Sister Chu!"
The word junior sister, the more Tang Chengnian said it, the more smooth it became, at first he would blush when he shouted in front of Chu Liangyu, but now he will come when he opens his mouth.
Chu Liangyu was the same, he was so embarrassed that he could only whisper and agree, but now he has long been used to it.
The master is the first, Tang Chengnian officially became a disciple first, and his cultivation is also higher than her, she shouted "Senior Sister Tang", it's nothing.
"What's the matter, they're all waiting for you in the antechamber, why did you come here all of a sudden?"
Chu Liangyu was walking fast, and the kitchen was not far away, and she was pouring water into the empty pot.
At first glance, when she heard Tang Chengnian call her, she looked a little dazed, but she quickly came back to her senses and hurriedly asked.
"I just remembered something, I'll tell you first, I'm afraid I'll forget it afterwards."
"What?"
"You see, now that you are a monk and an official disciple registered in the outer gate, you always waste your energy doing these tasks of boiling water and serving tea, and you ...... Not very suitable. After all, Chu Liangyu's previous work was this, Tang Chengnian thought about it, but still didn't say anything too ugly.
However, probably because she didn't say it clearly enough, Chu Liangyu hurriedly said: "It's okay, leave it to me, I can do it." β
"No, no, no." Tang Chengnian hurriedly waved his hand, it seemed that it still had to be concise and clear, "Let's find a new housekeeper." β
"......"
"Don't think about it, I don't mean anything else, I just think that you're not fit for this kind of thing now. You have a spiritual root, and you have stepped into the realm of qi refining, and you have become an official disciple and a formal monk, so there is no need and should not work hard to do such a trivial matter. What you have to do is to cultivate, to concentrate on cultivation. Tang Chengnian stared at her eyes and said very seriously, "Didn't you say that day that you must avenge your brother?" If you don't cultivate well, how can you catch up with that evil cultivator? His cultivation has now left you behind, if your cultivation can't catch up with him, how can you help Liangyan take revenge? β
"Senior Sister Chu, don't forget, you have to cultivate, it's for the sake of good looks!"
Tang Chengnian was originally reluctant to say such a desperate thing, but continuing to let Chu Liangyu do that kind of trivial thing was indeed delaying her.
It's better to cut through the mess with a quick knife and simply cut it off neatly.
This sentence is not as simple as recruiting a new housekeeper, what Tang Chengnian hopes is that Chu Liangyu can move towards a new life.
Brand new.
In fact, just by observing Chu Liangyu's expression, Tang Chengnian really didn't know how much she was listening to in her ears.
It's just that she has finished speaking, she has said everything that should be said and done, and she has done everything.
If Chu Liangyu was really unwilling to obey and disobey, then she had no choice.
She kind of understood, and it was better to say cruel things by herself than to let Chu Liangyu think for herself - that method might be useful for others, but in Chu Liangyu's case, it was for nothing. Even if Chu Liangyu only obeyed on the surface, this person was a blindfolded mule, maybe Chu Liangyan's matter was the biggest blow to her, and now that Tang Chengnian didn't urge, she really dared to stay put.
Tang Chengnian simply doubted that she was practicing now, firstly, for Chu Liangyan, and secondly, to repay Ming Yueqian's kindness.
"Yes......" At least on the surface, Chu Liangyu agreed.
That's it.
That's what Tang Chengnian wants.
As long as you are willing to open your mouth, it is better than nothing, and you are not willing to let go of even a little attitude.
"Well, this is the last time I'm going to trouble you, I mean the choice of a new housekeeper. Hey, don't shirk, listen, when you have time, go pick a girl who you think is pleasing to the eye, girls are more careful. Oh yes, where did you choose the butler? Tang Chengnian thought for a moment and added, "It should be the deacon's hall." If you are free one day, go to the deacon's hall and go directly to Elder Chang Xinchen, and say that I asked you to go. Elder Chang and I know each other, and I will remember to tell him when the time comes, lest anyone else harass you. Although you have now become an official disciple, there are still not many people who know about it, so you have to be careful not to teach others to take advantage of you. β
Tang Chengnian was a little worried that no one would know Chu Liangyu's new identity and bully her, but she was wrong this time.
With her current reputation in the outer gate, the people around her have long been investigated.
What happened to Chu Liangyu and Chu Liangyan's sisters and brothers that night, although no one knows yet, everyone can probably see that this person is very important to Tang Chengnian. She also took in four new younger brothers, Su Yin, Su Er, Su Sang, and Su Xi. The four brothers of the Su family were also picked up, and all kinds of gossip about the three generations of their ancestors were not saved. That is, Lu Qiuen and Du Ziruo, Du Zixun is better, but the news that Ming Yueqian and they know is also on the table of the eldest young master and eldest lady who are noble and have been sent out by the big family to experience in the outer gate.
Only Tang Chengnian, the identity of Tang Chengnian that everyone wants to know the most, is still a blank sheet of paper, and no one knows.
Those who know are cronies and keep their mouths shut.
Tang Xuanqi has two daughters, one named Tang Chengnian and the other named Tang Chengjun.
This matter is widely rumored among the ancestors of the Yunze Continent.
But how could those ancestors condescend to gossip with a group of juniors?
So, Tang Chengnian has been incognito so far with the most arrogant demeanor.
After talking about the new housekeeper, Tang Chengnian stood still again.
"Senior Sister Tang?"
"It's okay, ignore me." Tang Chengnian hugged his arms and calmly pretended to be a stone carving.
"You...... Anything else? β
"It's nothing, leave me alone." Tang Chengnian shook his hand distractedly this time, and then continued to install stone carvings.
Chu Liangyu had to be in a daze with her.
"Whew-"
"Oh, the water is boiling!" Tang Chengnian straightened up and pointed to the kettle, "I'll help you watch, you go get the cup and tea." β
"Yes!" Chu Liangyu was a little embarrassed, he was in a daze just now, and he forgot about business.
After Chu Liangyu brought the cup and tea, Tang Chengnian lifted the kettle from the fire.
The fire spirit root is good, and you don't need to wrap it in a dry cloth.
It's just that it feels a little hot, and this temperature, for Tang Chengnian, can't even reach the hot hands.
"I'll pour some water."
Tang Chengnian asked Chu Liangyu to put a pinch of tea leaves in each cup, and then he held the kettle himself and carefully poured the water into the cup.
It's not the first time she has made tea, in her previous life, she also liked to drink tea, but Tang Chengnian at that time was not as particular as she is now. She simply tossed the tea leaves in, about a large teapot, and poured boiling water into her own large teapotβnot the small, orthodox teacup she was dealing with now.
As a result, after pouring nine cups of tea, seven cups overflowed.
Tang Chengnian put the kettle down embarrassedly: "I didn't mean to. β
Chu Liangyu extinguished the fire, turned back and saw this scene, and sneered: "It's okay. β
"The first time I made tea, I did the same...... As long as you handle it carefully, no one will notice. When Chu Liangyu said this, his face was full of cunning.
She tilted the seven overflowing cups of tea outward, poured out some water, and gently wiped the rim off with a dry cloth.
At least, with the naked eye, these seven cups of tea are no different from the other two.
"That's it."
Chu Liangyu put all the nine cups of tea into the wooden tray and glanced at Tang Chengnian: "As long as you handle it carefully, no one will notice." β
Important words have to be said twice, and it seems that Chu Liangyu is also the person who follows this sentence.
"Then let's go back to the front room." Tang Chengnian snickered, obviously nothing, but she just had a feeling that she was playing a prank.
Especially, imagine that you drink this tea without knowing anything.
Although it's really nothing, after all, it's a tea that only the two of them know, and they have "moved their hands and feet".
The two of them strolled back to the antechamber.
"It's slow!"
Before anyone sees it, the sound comes first.
Lu Qiuen, who had calmed down, had the upper hand again with that annoying natural temperament.
Tang Chengnian almost suspected that he was deliberately trying to provoke her.
But it's nothing, she'll serve a cup of tea herself.
Walking into the front hall, at this time, Du Ziruo, Du Zixun and the four brothers of the Su family sat at the bottom, and Lu Qiuen swaggered in the master's seat.
Seeing Tang Chengnian coming, Lu Qiuen pointed to the position next to him as if he was the real master: "Sit here." β
It's just a sentence of "you're welcome, treat this place as your home".
Tang Chengnian thought about it and felt that he shouldn't worry about a child.
At least on the surface, Lu Qiuen is still a child.
Never mind.
Does she still have to serve tea?
She sat down on the seat next to him according to what Lu Qiuen said, but she didn't expect Tang Chengnian to be so cooperative, which made Lu Qiuen a little stunned.
"Senior Sister Chu, come here." Tang Chengnian smiled and took out two cups of tea from the tray in front of Chu Liangyu.
One cup is safe, the other is ...... She gently brought it to Lu Qiuen: "This is what I soaked with my own hands." β
"Really?" Lu Qiuen was still stunned, and when he heard this, he suddenly smiled.
Tang Chengnian glanced at it in a daze, tsk, why doesn't this kid laugh a little more, who does Han Xiao want to disgust with his face!
"Let's have tea."
"You ...... personally. Brewed tea? Lu Qiuen continued to laugh.
ββ¦β¦ Well. Tang Chengnian nodded impatiently.
Lu Qiuen immediately picked up the tea in front of him with satisfaction and drank it in one go, as if he was tasting some supreme delicacy.
Look at it this way...... It's even more obscene.
Tang Chengnian lowered his head helplessly, avoiding this gaze.
Chu Liangyu turned his head to look at Lu Qiuen while serving tea to the others, then turned his gaze to Tang Chengnian, and interjected with a smile: "All the tea here is brewed by Senior Sister Tang, it's really troublesome for you." βRS
