Volume 1 Chapter 14 Tea Fight III
Tan Mansion is not an official for generations, in the early years, it was to sell tea for a living, until Tan Rongda was admitted to the list of scientific examinations that year, was selected into the Ministry of Rites, and was promoted step by step to the Ministry of Rites, Tan Mansion moved into the capital, coupled with the bigger and bigger tea business, Tan Mansion soon became a famous mansion in the capital. Therefore, the lunch of Tan Mansion invited the famous chef of Tak Xiang Lou, and every year this chef will spend a month preparing for these few days of tea feast, just to let the guests eat novelty.
Everyone talked while having lunch, and soon they all filled their stomachs. After lunch, the maidservants of the Tan Mansion took everyone to the guest room, and after resting for a while, they began to fight tea.
After Yinyuxi finished eating, he was also a little drowsy, and Luan Mo next to him pushed Yinyuxi, "Isn't the county lord leaving?" ”
Hearing this, Yin Yuxi waved his hand and snorted, "If the county lord doesn't go, you can go." But in her heart, she didn't want to sleep in someone else's house, and last time she died because of her snooze, she was very afraid, and when the crowd in the attic dispersed, she lay on the table and closed her eyes.
At noon, the red sun is in the sky, and it is a hot time.
Yin Yuxi couldn't sleep for a quarter of an hour, and looking at the empty attic, she called, "Awake, do you know where the thatched house is." Tea was a bit too much in the morning. ”
Juexiao, who was standing on the side, walked over, "County master, slave and maid know." ”
Yin Yuxi followed Juexiao out, Juexiao picked up the oil-paper umbrella erected in front of the door, stretched it open for Yinyuxi, barely shielded from some scorching sun, and the two walked along the Yuhua stone road through the arch and came to a secluded place. It is lush and lush with bamboo, and through the bamboo, you can faintly see a simple thatched house.
"Juexiao, I'll go over, you wait here." After Yin Yuxi finished speaking, she walked straight into the bamboo forest, and a cool feeling hit her, and she didn't feel that she slowed down.
When she was about to walk to the thatched house, she vaguely heard someone talking behind the rockery not far away, and seemed to be tiptoeing to see the two people standing, if it was someone else, she wouldn't look at it, but what she saw was Lin Junyu and Tan Mufeng there, she was curious for a while, so she walked over softly, and knelt beside the rockery to listen to the two people talking.
"Cousin, what I've always liked for so many years is you, and you don't know it. Why do you want to marry the Yuxi County Lord who can't be married? Lin Junyu's willow eyebrows were like smoke, and the little arrogance in her eyes was now all infatuated, "What's so good about that county lord, not to mention that she is still having an affair with that Shen Ruoting, are you willing to marry a woman who has lost her reputation?" ”
Tan Mufeng was full of displeasure, and even scolded lightly: "Jun Yu, what are you talking about?!" Is this what your aunt taught you at home? ”
Lin Junyu sobbed aggrievedly: "Isn't what I said wrong?" If she has nothing to do with Shen Ruoting, why did she delay getting married. She has become a joke in the capital, why did my cousin marry her, not to mention that I heard my cousin say that you are engaged to the county lord of Yuxi just to protect the Tan family, is what my cousin said? ”
"Jun Yu." Tan Mufeng immediately interrupted Lin Junyu's words, "What about the Lord of Yuxi is not something you can discuss. ”
"Cousin...... You've never reprimanded me like this, and now you're really making me sad for that Jade Breath County Lord? Lin Junyu's small and delicate melon seed face was already full of tears, she turned her head to see that there was no one around, bit her lip fiercely, and reached out to hug Tan Mufeng, "Cousin, Junyu really likes you." If you make a marriage contract with the county lord of Yuxi for the time being in order to protect the Tan Mansion, then Jun Yu can wait and marry you after you have done it. Good no good? ”
With such a pear blossom with rain, I am afraid that any man will feel distressed. What's more, this is the younger sister who grew up with Tan Mufeng, Tan Mufeng sighed again and again, hugged Lin Junyu, "Junyu, don't say anything like this in the future." ”
If Tan Mufeng didn't refuse or agree, Lin Junyu was a little happier in his heart.
Yin Yuxi, who was hiding behind the rockery, saw that there was nothing to hear, so he turned around and walked towards the thatched house, not wanting to accidentally tear off a stone from the hem of his sleeve, Yin Yuxi hurriedly ran towards the thatched house with his skirt and rushed in without thinking.
Tan Mufeng, who walked out quickly from behind the rockery outside, saw that the thatched house covered a corner of his clothes, and he didn't want to be grabbed by Lin Junyu, "Cousin...... Jun Yu's foot is broken......"
Tan Mufeng glanced at Lin Junyu suspiciously, and then looked over there, he was already gone, he couldn't help frowning, "You sit here and wait, I'll go over there and take a look." He walked towards the hut.
At this time, in the thatched house, Yin Yuxi and Luan Yi stood face to face, there was only a fist distance between their faces, and soon Yin Yuxi reacted, dodged back, gritted his teeth and asked in a low voice, "Why are you here?!" ”
Luan Yi's red lips pulled and pointed to the sign hanging on his right, "This is a men's thatched house." ”
Yin Yuxi's eyes swept, and he immediately reacted, and quickly covered his face with his hand, "I didn't see anything." ”
And the footsteps on the leaves outside were getting closer and closer, Luan Yi hurriedly tidied up his clothes, tore away Yin Yuxi's hand, and whispered, "Who is outside, how did you run in?" ”
Yin Yuxi's cold and arrogant face was full of red glow, but in his heart he secretly scolded himself for breaking in without even looking, "I'm afraid it's Tan Mufeng, I overheard them." As soon as she finished speaking, she was hugged by Luan Yi, her body was light, and she had already fallen to the other side, and Yin Yuxi's eyes widened in shock.
"Shut up and don't talk." Luan Yi listened carefully to the footsteps and entered the men's thatched house, paused for a while before leaving, gradually walking away, and waited for the footsteps to disappear before he let go of Yinyuxi.
Yin Yuxi frowned, "You don't want to ask if there are any women here, just hide?" Then thinking of Luan Yi's temperament, he couldn't help but continue to sneer, "Yes, if you happen to have it, you can still catch a glimpse of spring." ”
Luan Yi's red lips rippled with a dazzling smile, "The county lord of Yuxi is really unmoral." If it weren't for Ben Gongzi who saved you just now, I would have liked to see how you explained it to Tan Mufeng. It doesn't matter, when my son saw Tan Mufeng later, he could also tell him this interesting story, I don't know how Tan Mufeng reacted when he heard it. With that, he was leaving.
Yin Yuxi hurriedly grabbed Luan Yi, and her eyes were even more focused on Luan Yi's delicate side face, "No, Luan Yi." If you dare to say a word, then I will immediately let Cheng Jiaxing behead you. ”
And Luan Yi tore her hand away and walked out of the thatched house quickly, "Fortunately, the thatched house in Tan's Mansion was cleaned, or they were all smoked to death." "Fan your nose with your hand," but this son still has to hurry back home and change his clothes. ”
"Did you hear me?!" Yin Yuxi followed behind him, gritting his teeth angrily.
Luan Yi strode a few times, paused again, and looked back at Yin Yuxi with a smile, "Isn't it convenient for the county lord of Yuxi to come to the thatched house, why do you always chase after my son." ”
Hearing this, Yin Yuxi remembered that her stomach was swollen just now and she wanted to go to the thatched house, but now that she was delayed, her stomach was swollen and hurt even more, so she had to glare at Luan Yi fiercely, and quickly ran back to the thatched house. Luan Yi smiled crookedly with his eyes, pursed his lips and swaggered away from the bamboo forest.
Walking out of the bamboo forest, Luan Yi looked around, saw that there was only this one exit in this courtyard, and then saw Juexiao this maid sitting on the side, he stepped forward and coughed lightly, "Did someone pass by here just now?" ”
Jue Xiao replied respectfully: "The slave maid looked at Tan Dagongzi and Miss Lin Er just left? ”
"You didn't say anything when the two of you met?"
Jue Xiao shook his head, originally thinking that Luan Gongzi and his own young lady were always at odds, and there was no need to say anything to him, but he felt that this Luan Gongzi had no bad intentions, so he smiled and said, "The slave saw that it was a man and a woman, so she hurriedly hid and didn't let them see it." ”
Luan Yi's dark eyes showed a little appreciation, "You maid is very clever." With that, he walked away.
Jue Xiao looked at Luan Yi smiling beautifully, and was stunned for a while, and then looked at Luan Yi dressed in red and very charming, muttering in his heart that such a beautiful man is really rare in the world.
"Awareness! Awake, what are you in a daze? Yin Yuxi walked over and knocked on Juexiao's forehead.
Jue Xiao reacted at this time, and hurriedly said, "County Lord, the slave maid saw Tan Dagongzi and Miss Lin Er just now, and Tan Dagongzi is still supporting Miss Lin Er, doesn't this Tan Dagongzi like the county lord, and now I am with Miss Lin Er, this is really too much." After speaking, seeing Yin Yuxi continue to walk with her hands behind her back, she strode forward,
"County Lord, didn't you already meet them inside?"
Yin Yuxi's bright eyes covered the complicated color, "No." ”
Seeing that the county lord didn't say much, she didn't ask any more questions.
When the two of them returned to Bang Yu Pavilion, it was already full of people, and the loft was full of noblewomen from the capital, and several young ladies were going upstairs, Yin Yuxi knew in her heart that the tea party was about to start, and she was about to hesitate to enter or not.
"Isn't this a jade sister, why don't you hurry up to the second floor and compete with the young ladies." Princess Cheng Lan sat lazily, served by the princess Tan Xinchun next to her, seeing that Yin Yuxi did not move, she covered her mouth and smiled and continued, "Lord Yuxi County Don't be shy, now that you are in your early twenties, you have to quickly find a wishful husband, otherwise Fanghua will pass away in a few years, and you can only marry casually." ”
Several women next to him all looked at Yin Yuxi, Yin Yuxi smiled coldly and arrogantly, arranged her sleeves by herself, and sat on an empty seat at will, "Look at what Sister Princess said, it's like if you can marry a wishful husband if you win this tea party." "The right leg is on the sitting leg, and a pair of bright and beautiful eyes are slightly dyed with a bit of sophistication,
"What's more, the lord of this county has always been used to being alone, and if he doesn't marry, he just doesn't have to harm the sons of each family. Besides, the lord of this county has such a high seniority, if he marries into another mansion, it is fine, if he marries into the palace, should he call the princess his sister or his mother? ”
