Chapter 21: Tea Tasting

When he left the house, the two carriages were ready, and He Yiruo was going to ride a horse, but Situ Ye had to take the carriage and accompany Chan'er to sit!

Chan'er is helpless, big brother, do you want to ruin my reputation like this? Although she doesn't care.

He Yiruo couldn't help twitching the corners of his eyes, he never knew that his master could be so naïve!

It's normal to be naïve when I'm young, but when I grew up, I only thought he was a little ruffian, and now I know that for him, there is no most naïve time, only more naïve!

But looking at my sister, I finally joined the group, and I have to go to the tea party again today. In case the tea party falls in love with that boy brother again... No, he has to sit with his sister and supervise her, and he can't just meet someone!

Tea tasting party, held once a year, said to be a poem hop tea, in fact, to give the rich boy and the girl a chance to contact, if there is a phase, the two families are right, naturally it is a festive, but there are also tragedies.

For example, the year before last, the pearl of the palm of the imperial doctor and a young and handsome son had mutual affection, but it turned out that the son had a wife in the family! And also after a businessman.

Of course, the Imperial Doctor will not agree to this family business, not to mention that he is a businessman, just to say that he already has a family, this alone will not work! The girl also cried sadly for a long time, and then casually married a family arranged by the family, and I didn't hear about it well.

After all, many people know about that incident, and her husband's family must also know about it, if it weren't for her father, she would only be able to be a concubine!

So since the year before last, there was a rule in the Tea Tasting Club, that is...

He Yiruo couldn't help but turn three points black when he thought of this, fortunately, there was no wedding car as His Highness said, otherwise they would not have been beaten out if they went to participate?

The rules of the tea tasting are that only single men and women who need to indicate their family background can participate!

Those who have families can go and watch, but they can't participate. Otherwise, no matter how high or low the official position is, just smash the eggs!

This is something that the emperor acquiesces in!

As for why the emperor acquiesced in this matter? It all started eighteen years ago.

When King Zhengwang was twenty and eight years old, he overheard others mention that this was the first time that the former Jin Kingdom held a tea party, and King Zhengwang felt that he should go and see such an event.

If it's good, it's recommended to do it every year in the future, and if it's not good, then ban it! It just happened that he wanted to go out of the palace in a few days, so he took advantage of the reason of Zhengda Guangming and secretly left the palace with the guards.

As a result, a woman with tattered clothes and a dirty face appeared at the meeting, and at a glance, she knew that she had begged all the way to Jincheng.

The woman was fourteen years old.

When the king saw her standing in the ring of the tea tasting party, her face was stubborn, and he asked sharply: "Why can't I participate?" ”

The first place in the tea tasting will be rewarded with ten taels of silver.

Ten taels of silver are not in the eyes of many people, but this woman values them very much.

Because that's what she's going for!

The organizer is embarrassed, he can't say that she is a beggar, she is not qualified, right?

What's more, when the tea tasting meeting was held, it was said that no matter how high or low, as long as you are knowledgeable and understand poetry, hops and tea, you can participate.

Although it is said that for the sake of elegance and communication, it is actually a blind date in disguise, she ran up as a beggar, where did she put those sons and ladies in place? Isn't that a suspicion that they have the same identity as her?

Look at her hands again, dirty, this poetry hop tea is barely a poet's hand, but what about hop tea?

So the organizer thought, give her ten taels of silver and send her, right?

And he did.

As a result, the woman raised her eyebrows: "My family is in trouble, and I have fallen so far, it doesn't mean that you can insult me like this!" Hmph, your tea tasting party said that you can participate in it regardless of whether you are poor or poor, but you discriminate against me, which makes me have to wonder, is your former Jin Kingdom really rich and poor equally? Or are you shallow and will only say one thing and do another? ”

She asked this sharply, which made people very angry, but she couldn't say a word of rebuttal!

"The girl said it well. They look down on you and won't let you participate, but I see you participating! The king glanced to both sides.

So he pointed to two of them and said: "There is a jade pavilion here, a famous yarn spinning, the girl can go in and choose at will, change into clothes and accessories, I will pay for the silver, see which of them can use ten taels of silver to humiliate the girl!" ”

After the king finished speaking, he glanced around lightly with his eyes, and everyone was so frightened that their legs only trembled, and they didn't know why, they always felt that there was an inexplicable momentum in his body, which could make people breathless.

The woman looked at the political king, and knew at a glance that he was noble and extraordinary, and he should be a dignitary. But the woman didn't think that he was the emperor of the former Jin Kingdom.

The woman's surname is Siying, after she thanked the political king, she walked into the famous yarn and chose a bright yellow shirt and skirt, changed into clothes after a simple grooming, and still had the original jade hairpin on her head, and you can see that there is a small gem on the hairpin.

When she walked out of the famous yarn spinning, everyone was stunned, she was very beautiful, although she just changed her clothes and washed away the dirt on her body, but it made people feel beautiful and refined. There was a faint breath of bookish air between her eyebrows, and she looked back and smiled better than Xinghua.

The king looked at her with a look of amazement in his eyes.

The tea party set off a big wave because of her, and the political king was also curious to participate, but he still lost to her. In the end, Qi Siying won, she came to King Zheng with the reward, and still gave him five taels of silver.

The political king looked at the five taels of silver that suddenly appeared in his hand, and the corners of his eyes twitched, how could he be helpless?

Even more helpless is still behind, only to hear Qi Siying say: "Thank you for your help, this is to return your clothes, if you have any left, you don't need to give it to me, it should be a thank you gift!" ”

Thank you!

The king was messy at that time.

Although he didn't know how much silver money this clothes were, he really wanted to shout, it seemed that there were no five taels of silver left! But he is a dignified monarch, how can he say this? As if he was stingy.

But these five taels of silver slap in the face!

The king is not wanted, not not, it is difficult to ride a tiger.

"The slave family has something important to do, so I will leave first." Qi Siying turned around and left, but the king frowned.

Slave, the word she casually uttered...

The women of the former Jin Kingdom would not call themselves so, only the women who were not out of the cabinet in the Dasheng Kingdom were used to calling themselves slaves.

Naturally, the guard also heard it, so he stopped her one step at a time: "Are you from Dasheng Country?" ”

Qi Siying frowned slightly, looked at the person in front of her, and then looked back at a certain king with a personable demeanor, he was really a person from the court.

"Yes, the slave family is a member of the Dasheng country, and he has fled here, I don't know what your opinion is? I don't think that the big people are afraid of me as a mentally handicapped woman! If you are afraid, I don't think there is any prospect for the development of this country, right? ”

King Zheng's eyes are appreciative, she is alone, from Dasheng Kingdom to the former Jin Kingdom, I don't know how many ups and downs she has to go through along the way, and she dares to admit that she is a person from Dasheng Country so generously! And this is the capital of the former Jin Kingdom, she dared to say that!

"You're not afraid that the people of our former Jin Kingdom will kill you?"

After the king asked, he saw Qi Siying smile, "Kill me?" Isn't that a matter of raising your hand and throwing your foot? In the past, I couldn't choose which country the slave family belonged to, but the way forward is my own, and where I want to live, where is my country. Whether it is the former Jin Kingdom or the Dasheng Kingdom, it has no roots, and wherever it falls is my home. ”

"But if the former Jin Kingdom can't tolerate me, it can only mean that I am clumsy and look down on the former Jin Kingdom!"

After hearing this, the prince asked the guards to take her away. At that time, everyone thought she wouldn't survive!

But only a few people inside know that she was accepted as a beauty by the political king, and now Qi Meiren, that is, Situ Ye's mother, is Qi Siying.

This is a secret, many people don't know, only some veteran ministers know, and because of the suppression of these veteran ministers, Qi Meiren has always been just a beauty, even if she gave birth to the eighth prince Situ Ye, she still has not been promoted.

When the four of them came to the tea tasting site, it was already crowded. Everyone has never come down in the carriage, and the young masters have already taken their seats, and there are the tools that need to be used in the ring.

Because the number of places is limited, He Yiruo went to register for Chan'er and Situ Ye, and it just so happened that the two of them were the last two places. Chan'er is her real name, and Situ Ye is a fake name - Situ.

Soon after, someone announced the official start of the tea tasting.

The tea tasting will be decided by drawing lots, and who will compete with whom. The one-to-one comparison, not everyone has to compare everything, and it is completely decided by lottery.

The quota is a total of 40 people, 24 lots, 20 are the names of the last 20 people, and 4 are the content of the competition. The first 20 places will draw the name, and the last 20 places will draw the content of the competition. Fair enough.

But Chan'er nodded her back and drew tea, and among the four things, tea was her weakest. But the more important ones are still to come.

When she saw the person opposite her, she couldn't help but want to cry. It turned out to be Ling Huan!

Ling Huan looked at her, she already felt familiar, and she recognized her at such a close distance.

"Girl, you are born with good looks, and you are either wearing men's clothes or wearing a veil when you go out, is it really so inconvenient? Isn't there any grievance that the girl has to offer? Or is it a special hobby? ”

Everyone turned their heads one after another, if she was wronged, she would definitely not have time to participate in the tea tasting party, did she really have a quirk?

Chan'er saluted unhurriedly: "The girl said that she laughed, she used to wear men's clothes to facilitate her journey, but now she wears a veil for fear of causing unnecessary trouble." After all, yesterday's men's clothes were unexpectedly known by others, so I had to cover it up for the sake of prudence. Everyone in the province knows about the trouble, and if I lose my face, I don't say anything, and there are suspicions of deliberately accusing the person who exposed my identity. ”

It means Chi Guoguo's accusation, if it weren't for her Ling Huan, she wouldn't have to wear a veil today!

Ling Huan snorted and turned her head, but caught a glimpse of Situ Ye, her face showed a touch of red, Chan'er followed her line of sight...

Her heart was suddenly unhappy, she was already very worried, and now...

But this is in ancient times when men were superior to women!

She took a deep breath and forgot it, just as she didn't see it, Chan'er turned her head aside, out of sight and out of mind!
