Cheng Jiahe pursed her lips, thinking of this, she was full of grievances, and even her nose was sore, hugging Yin Yuxi's waist tightly, and her voice was a lot lower.

"I was too stubborn at the beginning, and I insisted on marrying Chang Qingmo despite your opposition. I thought I would move him little by little and let him like me slowly, but ...... It didn't seem to be useful at all, and instead of liking him, it annoyed him more and more. Auntie, what do you say I should do? ”

If you ask her about this kind of emotional matter, it's better not to ask, she is not a person who likes or dislikes herself.

Yin Yuxi could only answer the question, "Jiahe, since you have decided to live here, then take a good break in the past few days." Don't be sad about that. Gently patted the back of Jiahe's hand.

The two of them, who hadn't seen each other for a long time, slept in the same bed, and fell asleep after slowly saying this.

In the early morning of the day, the two of them were about to leave the house after breakfast, Cheng Jiahe heard that Tan Mufeng was waiting outside the house, so he asked with a smile, "I heard that Tan Gongzi came to pick you up and send you yesterday, and it was still very good to see him to you." I wonder what my aunt thinks? ”

"Don't you know in your own mind?" Yin Yuxi glared at Cheng Jiahe resentfully, and when she saw Cheng Jiahe obediently closing her mouth and not talking more, she regained her cold arrogance.

The two of them left the county lord's mansion and appeared in the Tan mansion two quarters of an hour later, just like yesterday. Today, Tan Mufeng was not called away by the maid, but kept following the two of them and introducing the scenery of Tan's mansion to the two. The two followed Tan Mufeng to turn around the Tan Mansion, and finally returned to the door of the Bang Yu Pavilion in the garden.

Seeing that Tan Mufeng was about to go in, Yin Yuxi gently stopped him, "Tan Gongzi, you men don't like these the most, I just have Princess Jiahe with me." As he spoke, he took Princess Jiahe's arm.

Tan Mufeng's eyes showed a look of surprise, "Okay." ”

Seeing Tan Mufeng walk away, Cheng Jiahe's eyes kept staring at Tan Mufeng, and said in a low voice: "But judging from Tan Fu and Tan Mufeng, it's still good." Tan Fu is rich and can afford to raise you, Tan Mufeng is decent and respectful of you. However, I know that you don't like a serious man like Tan Mufeng. ”

Yin Yuxi smiled and asked rhetorically, "Do I like men who are not serious?" ”

Cheng Jiahe stomped his feet and hurriedly explained, "That's not what it meant. I mean, Tan Mufeng, this person can't get into your eyes. After speaking, he pulled Yin Yuxi into the attic.

On the first floor of the Bangyu Pavilion, all the ladies and ladies had already sat down, and when they saw the lord of Yuxi and Princess Jiahe walking in, they got up and sat down again, and then the maids rushed in, taking the women who entered the top five yesterday to the second floor. The eldest lady of the Tan Mansion, Xu Shi, got up quietly and said elegantly,

"In previous years, we won the tea party with a cup of tea, and whoever had the most begonia petals in the basket won. But this year I want to add some difficulty, I choose two kinds of tea, each person has three petals, to put the petals into the tea that I think is the best, and in the end, whoever has more petals wins, and then in this order, I don't know what the ladies think? ”

After listening to the words of the eldest lady Xu, these noble ladies quietly began to recall the words of the eldest lady, and they couldn't help but secretly praise Tan Fu for being worthy of being a businessman. Now that the eldest lady has made such a provision, it can not only allow those ladies to learn more tea pouring skills, but also allow the ladies to have more choices, although it is more difficult for the ladies, but it is convenient for them to taste tea. Everyone was noncommittal, and they all nodded.

Seeing this, the eldest lady Xu nodded to the maid Tan Xi, and Tan Xi went up to the second floor.

The remaining five young ladies yesterday were Luan Yun, the third lady of Luanfu, Lin Junyu, the second miss of Linfu, Tan Xinxia and Tan Xinqiu, the second miss of Tanfu, and the second miss of the original family, Yuan Chupei, and the other four young ladies were able to win the top five, which everyone is used to. However, it is really surprising that the original Chu Pei was able to enter the top five.

After a while, the maidservant Tan Xi walked down and said to the noble ladies, "Several young ladies also agree with the eldest lady's idea. ”

"It's good that the ladies agree, don't Tan Fu reveal this rule to his own young lady in advance, wouldn't this competition be meaningless." Although the second lady of the Lin Mansion, Yuan Shi, had a smile on her face, everyone could hear the thorn in her words.

Mrs. Tan didn't care at all, she still smiled dignifiedly, "The second lady said with a smile. This tea party is organized by our Tan Mansion, and our Tan Mansion will naturally not disappoint everyone. After speaking, she gestured to Tan Xi, and Tan Xi brought a basket over, and the eldest lady continued,

"Each tea in this basket is packed in a bag, I pick two bags at random, and the selected tea leaves are to be tested today."

After speaking, the eldest lady Xu took out three bags from the basket at random, and then opened them one by one, the first one was Biluochun, the second was Huangshan Maofeng, and then Tan Xi instructed the maids to take out some tea leaves from the jar behind them, and then sent them to the second floor.

The noble lady began to speak.

Luan Mo looked at Yin Yuxi seriously for a while, and couldn't help but purse her lips and smile, "Lord Yuxi might as well guess who will win today's tea party." After speaking, he winked mischievously at Yinyuxi.

Yin Yuxi didn't quite understand, "Could it be that you guessed it?" ”

As soon as the words fell, Luan Mo remembered yesterday's game, Yin Yuxi was not present, and she slowly explained, "In previous years, the first has always been Tan Xinchun of Tan Mansion, and this year Tan Xinchun got married, and the last few women naturally have a chance to compete for the first place." It's just that I don't want Yuan Chupei, who is in the original mansion, was greatly appreciated by the two ladies of the Tan Mansion yesterday. Looking at Yin Yuxi and continuing to listen carefully, she took a sip of tea, and lowered her voice,

"Someone inquired early this morning, this original Chu Pei has loved to grow tea since he was a child, and now he is very proficient in the art of tea planting, let alone pouring tea. So if it were according to the rules of the past, the original Chu Pei would have taken the lead. ”

"Are you so sure?" There was some doubt in Yin Yuxi's tone.

Luan Mo's black and white eyes smiled crookedly, and her fair and delicate facial features were full of delicateness, and she didn't answer Yin Yuxi's words, but replied,

"When I say this, can the county lord guess why the young lady of the original mansion is not good at inheriting the way of reading from the scholarly family, why she wants to learn the way of growing and pouring tea?!"

Listening to Luan Mo's words, Yin Yuxi seemed to have an answer in her mind, no wonder Shen Ruoting would agree to this family business, it turned out that it was because Yuan Chu Pei had such skills, but Yuan Chu Pei is now showing his skills in public, wouldn't he also be appreciated by the Tan family. And the original family seems to be on the emperor's side now, while the Tan Mansion and the Shen Mansion are both on the Cheng Wangfu, if the original family master is to let Yuan Chupei be a chess piece, then the original family master's city government is too deep.

Cheng Jiahe also thought for a long time, couldn't help covering his mouth and exclaiming, and then leaned his head on Yin Yuxi's shoulder, "Then didn't Chu Pei want to rob Tan Gongzi with his aunt?!" If Yuan Chupei really won the first prize in the end, wouldn't it really be as she wished! Although he knew that Yin Yuxi didn't like Tan Mufeng, but Yuan Chupei openly robbed Tan Mufeng like this, it was bullying Yin Yuxi's head.

Yin Yuxi patted Cheng Jiahe's head with his hand, "Don't forget that the Shen family also has some tea business. Originally, Chu Pei should have been accurate with the Shen family, otherwise he would not have let the emperor personally announce the marriage contract. ”

"That aunt means Shen Ruoting, who was originally Chu Pei's favorite."

Whether it was just Shen Ruoting or Tan Mufeng, the original Chu Pei was all related to her, which couldn't help but make her think of Luan Yi, whether Luan Yi was deliberately targeting her, or did she have some plans in secret.

Luan Mo looked at Yin Yuxi and fell into deep thought, but said lightly, "Yuan Chupei seems to have become the best candidate for a daughter-in-law in Mrs. Tan's mind. ”

For a while, all three of them stopped talking, each with their own thoughts.

A quarter of an hour passed, and the first cup of tea was brought down by the maidservants, and five cups of tea in each person's hand were gently placed on the table in front of the noble lady, and the noble ladies began to savor it.

Cheng Jiahe was lowering his head and playing with the embroidery on the hem of his clothes, when a maid came in and walked to Cheng Jiahe's side, whispered a few words in her ear, Cheng Jiahe stood up and hurriedly walked out.

Yin Yuxi turned her head to look, Cheng Jiahe was gone, she couldn't help but look out of the window, and saw Cheng Jiahe walking towards the Yingyu Pavilion opposite, she must have gone to the ordinary light ink, and nothing should happen.

Thinking of this, Yin Yuxi turned her head and listened to the soft whispers of the ladies in front of her, and she looked towards Mrs. Tan again, but she couldn't see any emotion, but calmly put the petals into the flower basket that she was satisfied with.

Tan Xi saw that the ladies had all the petals placed, so he motioned to the maid upstairs to bring down the second cup of tea that had been prepared, and the maid served it again, the ladies had drunk enough tea in the past two days, and they had to drink some white water to rinse their mouths to taste the taste of this cup of tea.

The ladies slowly threw out their petals, and several ladies on the second floor had already come down to the first floor and stood at the top of the stairs.

Waiting for all the petals to be put into the flower basket, several maidservants put the flower basket on the table in the middle of the attic, Mrs. Tan gracefully stepped to the table, opened the bag in the flower basket, and the name of a young lady in each bag, the maidservant girl showed the name to everyone. Then Mrs. Tan and Princess Cheng counted the petals in the flower basket together, and soon the results came out.

Mrs. Tan instructed Tan Xi to write down the results, and then handed them to Princess Cheng, who was the most noble lady here, and it was normal for her to read out the results. Princess Cheng took the rice paper, obviously not surprised by the result, glanced around, and opened her lips lightly:

"At this year's tea party, the top three are the third miss Luan Yun of Luan Mansion, the third miss Tan Xinqiu of Tan Mansion, and the second miss of Yuan Mansion Yuan Chupei, and the first prize is Miss Yuan!"
