Chapter 21 Tasting Tea
Pinmingtang is famous all over the world and is a favorite place for literati and scholars, dignitaries and nobles.
Here, you can meet friends, confidants, high-ranking officials, and all other people with status.
Strange to say, Pinmingtang only appeared in the imperial capital three years ago, and in just three years, it became the first teahouse in the world.
How did it get to this point?
By virtue of the tea. The best teas from all over the world gather here.
In the past, teahouses were limited to the purchase of local tea, and only had local characteristics.
But Pinmingtang can break through this limitation and purchase the world's best tea.
As long as you can think of tea, it can be found for you, naturally, and the price is also expensive.
Therefore, ordinary people cannot afford to spend here.
Of course, the pastries here are also a must. Luo Qi and them came for pastries.
When Luo Qi and his entourage walked into the tea hall, they saw many officials and literati talking in the lobby.
There are five floors in the tea hall, and the first floor is the lobby, which is no different from an ordinary tea house, and is used for making friends.
The higher the status, the higher the status, but the top floor is not open, it is the boss's private space, but no one knows who the boss is.
Luo Qi's status is not low, and he can go up to the third floor. Except for the lobby on the first floor, the rest of the floors are all rooms.
Under the guidance of Xiao Er, they went directly to the private room on the third floor.
Xiao Er looks good, the service is warm and thoughtful, and his speech is quite pleasing.
In just a while, he chatted with Yiyi.
After arriving at the private room, he was not in a hurry to go out, it seems that this rule is that one person is responsible for a group of guests.
"What kind of tea do you want to drink, General Luo? We have all kinds of varieties here, and even if you don't have one, you can send them to the guest officer in a short time. ”
Luo Yuan glanced at Xiao Er, and slowly said, "Just Biluochun!" ”
Xiao Er's eyes lit up when he heard this, "The guest officer knows the goods, the spring flavor of Biluo is fresh, fragrant and fragrant, the soup is green and clear, and it is one of the famous teas." The small ones are for you. ”
At this time, there were only four Luo Qi in the private room.
Luo Qi played with the small fan that Yiyi had just bought, and said casually: "The one on the street just now, do you know which princess it is?" ”
Luo Yuan shook his head, "I don't know, I rarely go out, I only know that Your Majesty has three princesses, but one has just been full moon, and it must not be." ”
He paused, "The other two, the same age, I don't know. ”
When Luo Qi heard this, he looked up at Eleven, "Eleven, now go check it out." Be careful not to be detected. ”
Eleven answered, and as soon as he left the door, he heard the indifferent voice of his master.
"That girl, look in the way."
When Eleven heard this, he replied softly, "Eleven knows." ”
In the private room, Yiyi looked at his master blankly and did not speak.
Luo Qi noticed that Yiyi had been looking at her, she looked back and said coldly: "What's the matter, I'm afraid?" Think I'm cruel? ”
Yiyi returned to her senses, then bowed her head and said, "No, no matter what Miss does, Yiyi will support it." ”
"Live in the imperial capital, don't be soft-hearted. Otherwise, you can be in a different place at any time. ”
Seeing that the atmosphere was a little cold, Luo Yuan said softly: "Sister, Yiyi is still young, and it will backfire if she is in a hurry." ”
At this moment, Xiao Er came back, holding a small box in his hand, the box was also exquisite, presumably it should be filled with Biluochun.
"Several guest officers have been waiting for a long time, this is Biluochun who just arrived a few days ago." Xiao Er said with a smile, and then glanced at a few guests, "Do you need a small one to make tea?" ”
"Come on!" Luo Yuan replied directly.
Luo Qi quietly looked at Xiao Er's skillful tea-making technique, and glanced at Xiao Er with praise.
She doesn't actually know tea, she usually makes a lot of knives and dances and guns, and she mostly drinks when she is on the march and fighting.
If she doesn't say that she is a daughter, judging from her style of conduct, there is no doubt that she is a man.
Xiao Er was about to retreat when he was stopped.
"Serve me a few more pastries." Luo Yuan thought for a moment, and then said: "Just pine nut lily cake and ** honeycomb cake!" ”
After speaking, Luo Yuan immediately looked at his sister with a smile, "My sister should have eaten it last time I went to the palace, so sister will taste it later, and see if it can be compared to what she did in the palace?" ”
Luo Qi smiled and responded, "Okay!" ”
None of them noticed that Xiao Er's eyes flashed with inquiry.
When Xiao Er went out, the voice of a man and a woman talking in the corridor at the door, Luo Qi listened, and the man's voice was slightly familiar.
"He Shizi is very funny, good-looking, and proficient in music."
"Hahahaha, I love to hear Ling'er's words, you said that Gongzi Mo is as interesting as me, right?"
The woman laughed softly, "Childe Mowen is polite and polite. ”
"Then you make it clear, who is better?"
"Hmm...... It's hard to say, each is good in its own way. ”
As soon as Luo Qi heard the three words Gongzi Mo, he remembered the broken flute he had found.
Then when he heard that it was He Shizi, he knew that it must be He Shizi next to Gongzi Mo at the banquet.
She slowly got up and walked out.
"Sister, where are you going?"
"Just look around, don't follow."
Luo Qi walked out of the private room, quickly scanned the surroundings, and saw a man and a woman who were going down the stairs in front of her, she turned over and jumped down with the help of the railing.
The two were defenseless, and suddenly a figure appeared in front of them, and both of them were startled.
The woman said "ah", He Wen reacted quickly, and after seeing that it was Luo Qi, he immediately covered the woman's mouth.
"Ling'er is fine, this is my friend, friend. She's messing around with me! ”
"You go back first, I'll look for you again when I'm free, it's okay, it's okay."
Luo Qi just looked at the man in front of him with a smile in his eyes and comforted the woman, and he didn't speak.
After the woman left, He Wen took Luo Qi to the private room he opened.
He looked at Luo Qi, his body unconsciously became nervous, and he asked with a flattering face: "General Luo, is there something wrong?" You might as well say it directly, and see if there is anyone in this world who can help? ”
Luo Qi looked at He Wen with a smile on his face, "Just now the prince said, I'm your friend?" Having fun? Hehe, He Shizi laughed. ”
"Oh, my General Luo, if it weren't for your beauty, I would have recognized it at once, maybe there would have been a lot of trouble just now! I don't dare to make trouble in the tea hall. ”
"Don't look at me like that and laugh like that, I'm panicking."
Luo Qi put away his smile and returned to his usual lazy appearance, "He Shizi is very familiar with Gongzi Mo?" ”
When he heard this, his eyes lit up, there was a play!
"No, I'm his only friend. His Xiyuan Palace, I want to go, I can go. ”
He Wen smiled proudly, and then looked at Luo Qi with shining eyes.
"General Luo is going to find Gongzi Mo?"
Luo Qi took a sip of tea and said slowly: "No, I'm not familiar with him." I just happened to hear the two of you talking, and I was a little curious and asked. ”
"Oh, I thought ......"
"Huh? What did you say? ”
"No, what does the general want to know?"
"Everything about him."
