Miaoyu didn't want to see Lin Daiyu and Lu Zhiyu at first, but later heard that they were just two little girls, so after thinking about it, she agreed.

She has been practicing in the temple for many years, and she doesn't have many friends, so she thought that she had nothing to do, and it happened that Xing Xiuyan was also there, so she invited them to the inner room to have tea together.

Lin Daiyu saw that Miaoyu seemed to be packing up her things, so she asked, "Master Miaoyu is going to go far away?" ”

Miaoyu said with a dark expression: "Yes, I heard that in the Muni Courtyard in the capital, there are Guanyin relics and Bayeux relics, and the family teacher wants to take me to pay respects." ”

Lu Zhiyu said with a smile: "That's a coincidence, Sister Lin will also enter Beijing in a few days, maybe you can meet in the capital." ”

Miaoyu didn't pay attention to the two of them, but asked casually: "The girl also wants to enter Beijing?" ”

"My father was ordered to enter Beijing, and Daiyu also had to go with my father." Lin Daiyu replied.

After Miaoyu heard the four words of being ordered to enter Beijing, she became slightly interested, and then asked, "I don't know the name of Lingzun?" ”

"My father's surname is Lin, and he is currently a doctor of Lantai Temple!"

Lu Zhiyu added: "Sister Lin's father has just stepped down from the post of Lianghuai Patrol Salt Imperial History. ”

"It turned out to be the daughter of Lord Lin's family, but it was disrespectful." Miaoyu just nodded slightly, not taking Daiyu's identity to heart, and then asked Lu Zhiyu: "What about this girl, whose daughter are you?" ”

"Does Master Miaoyu know about the Gusu Lu family?" Lu Zhiyu asked, seeing Miaoyu nodding, she continued: "I am from the Gusu Lu clan. ”

"Which room of the Lu family?" Miaoyu blurted out and asked, feeling a little regretful after asking, she didn't expect her to have an intersection with the Lu family.

"The Lu family's house, the ancestor An Yuangong, and the grandfather Bingzhang Gong." Lu Zhiyu said quite solemnly.

Miaoyu knew in her heart that Lu Lin and the two clans were both famous families in Gusu, and they had a lot of dealings with their family back then, so these two people and her were also old friends, and the son of the Lu family's house was almost engaged to her back then.

Miaoyu then raised the reception specifications of the two, re-boiled tea, and entertained Lin Daiyu, Lu Zhiyu and Xing Xiuyan.

Miaoyu often uses tea to recognize people, so she waited for Lin Daiyu and Lu Zhiyu to taste the tea, and asked, "What kind of tea can the two sisters drink?" ”

Lu Zhiyu has learned the art of tea tasting since childhood, and when she watched Miaoyu make tea, the mist was steaming and the fragrance was overflowing, and she knew that it was Lu'an tea, known as "Qishan Cloud and Mist Melon Slices".

Lu'an tea originates from Qiyun Mountain, because its appearance is like melon seeds, it is flake-like, so it is called Qiyun melon slices, and because Qiyun Mountain belongs to Lu'an Prefecture, it is also called Lu'an melon slices, as early as the Tang Dynasty, Lu'an tea is famous, Li Bai has "the water in the Yangtze River, the tea on the top of Qi Mountain", and to this dynasty, Lu'an tea was included in the tribute tea.

After tasting it, although she felt that the tea made by Miaoyu was slightly different from the tea she usually brewed, Lu Zhiyu was still sure that it was Lu'an tea, so she said: "The tea has a long aroma, the soup is emerald green, the taste is mellow, and the tea taste is dry and fresh. ”

The crown of Lu'an tea is silver needle tea, sparrow tongue and plum blossom piece, and the silver needle tea only takes a shot from the top of the branch, that is, the small shoots of the tea have not yet been unfolded; The tongue is taken from the micro-spread of the two leaves on the top of the branch; The plum blossom piece is to select the most tender three or five leaves to form the plum blossom head.

Lu Zhiyu usually has the most contact with the tongue of the bird, so she is very confident in her answer, so she asked Miaoyu rhetorically: "Master Miaoyu, I don't know if what I said is right?" ”

Miaoyu nodded appreciatively: "Yes, it's the tongue of the bird!" ”

Then he asked, "What kind of water might you drink?" ”

Lu Zhiyu heard Miaoyu ask this, and knew that Miaoyu had a very deep study of the tea ceremony, and made tea is known as ten points of tea and seven points of water, and when making tea, the tea properties must be made in water, and eight parts of tea meet ten points of water, and ten points of tea meet eight points of water, then eight points.

She often heard Lu Jing talk about the pursuit of tea by the literati in the south of the Yangtze River, and the water for making tea is the top, the river water is secondary, and the well water is the bottom.

Therefore, the literati have always sought after famous springs such as Baotu Spring, Huishan Spring, Hupao Spring, Yuquan Mountain Spring, etc., but the mountain spring cannot be obtained often, the river water cannot be drunk for a long time, and they dislike the well water is vulgar, so they turn to the pursuit of rootless water such as rain, snow water, frost and dew water.

Lu Jing once said to her that the quality of these rootless water is not necessarily stronger than well water, but because it is rare to collect, and the literati have always loved to pursue, this kind of unique thing, so the literati in Jiangnan often take rootless water as the best when making tea, but in fact, it is just their spiritual pursuit, and there is no difference between high and low in terms of tea quality.

But for the sake of health, when Lu Jing asked her to make tea, she still had to use well water, and at this moment Lu Zhiyu drank the tea made by Miaoyu, which was different from what she usually brewed, so she asked tentatively: "But the rain?" ”

When Miaoyu heard this, she was immediately interested and asked, "Can you taste the rain in which year?" ”

"Can't!" Lu Zhiyu shook her head and said, but she regretted drinking so much tea just now, if it was last year's rain, wouldn't it be very unhealthy.

"And how did you get it?" Miaoyu continued to ask.

"I'm just guessing that Master Miaoyu's tea is slightly different from the tea I usually make, so I guess it shouldn't be ordinary water!" Lu Zhiyu said.

Lin Daiyu has not been in Jiangnan for a long time, and she doesn't know the habits of Jiangnan literati drinking tea, listening to the conversation between the two at the moment, I feel a little confused, the water has been integrated into the taste of tea, can it still drink the water quality, but she thinks that Miaoyu's behavior of making tea with rainwater is very elegant.

Miaoyu was slightly disappointed with Lu Zhiyu's answer, she thought she had met a confidant, and she didn't want Lu Zhiyu to just guess.

However, she also recognized Lu Zhiyu a little more, and Lu Zhiyu's ability to taste unusual water shows that her family learning is extraordinary.

So Miaoyu explained: "This is the rain I specially collected this spring, and this is the last altar!" ”

Lu Zhiyu thought that every winter, many people would come to Xuantomb Mountain to collect plum blossom water and store it for tea, so she asked, "Master Miaoyu, do you also have plum blossom water here?" ”

Miaoyu said indifferently with some pride: "Naturally, I love plum blossom snow water the most, there is a collection every year, the snow water on the stamens collected last year has been buried in the ground by me and reluctant to eat, if you can meet again in the future, I will entertain you with plum blossom water." ”

Lu Zhiyu suddenly understood a little bit that her brother's intention to let her come to see Master Miaoyu, Miaoyu should be the noble temperament that my brother often says, and she is not allowed to be a master in the world!

She then smiled and said: "Master Miaoyu really has a noble temperament, and there is still this kind of Yaxing, but unfortunately we didn't come at the right time, and we can't appreciate the plum blossoms all over the mountain." ”

"Even if you come here in winter, you won't be able to enjoy the plum blossoms." Miaoyu said in a cold voice.

"Why is that?" Lin Daiyu asked.

"When the plum blossoms bloom, not to mention the crowds here, there are a lot of people who come to enjoy the plum blossoms every day, where is there still the interest of appreciating the plum blossoms." Miaoyu said disdainfully.

She has never looked down on those who are vassals and elegant, and the plum blossoms are either appreciated alone, or three or five people are appreciated together, to appreciate their meaning, rather than to look at their shape, and some people are just appreciating the plum for the sake of appreciating the plum, and there is no artistic conception at all.

Lin Daiyu nodded in agreement: "What Master Miaoyu said is also reasonable, if everyone competes to be the first to enjoy the game, it will live up to the nobility of the plum and lose the artistic conception of appreciating the plum!" ”

Lu Zhiyu was influenced by Lu Jing, and she disagreed with Miaoyu and Daiyu's statements, she felt that a few people's spring and white snow were certainly elegant, but the song was high and low, and it was difficult to find a soulmate.

However, she did not refute the two, because Lu Jing often taught her that when interacting with friends, the most taboo thing is to impose her views on friends, and to give each other more space.

Lu Zhiyu immediately paid attention to Xing Xiuyan, although the contact was short, but she liked the calm and peaceful Xing Xiuyan very much, so she praised: "Sister Xing's manners and words are also detached like wild cranes and idle clouds, you and Master Miaoyu are neighbors, but the mountains and rivers are looking for bosom friends, complementing each other!" ”

Xing Xiuyan smiled indifferently: "My sister said that I laughed, I have been neighbors with Master Miaoyu for ten years, and the words I recognize are taught by Master Miaoyu, and Master Miaoyu is really suitable for me." ”

"I'm just teaching you to recognize a few words, after all, it's your heart." Miaoyu likes Xing Xiuyan's poverty and casual personality very much, so she often corresponds with Xing Xiuyan.

"I see, no wonder Sister Xing is so elegant." Lu Zhiyu said with a smile.

Miaoyu then pointed at Lin Daiyu and Xing Xiuyan and said, "Speaking of which, the two of you are also relatives, and her aunt married into the Rongguo Mansion in Beijing. ”

When Lin Daiyu heard this, she was a little surprised, and then thought that her eldest aunt was from Gusu Xing's family, so she asked, "Could Miss Xing be the niece of your eldest aunt?" ”

Seeing Xing Xiuyan nodding, Daiyu said with a smile: "I didn't know that the two of us still had this relationship, so it is fate to be able to meet here!" ”

After Xing Xiuyan heard Lin Daiyu report her identity, she knew the relationship between the Lin family and the Jia family, but she did not say anything about it.

At this time, after listening to Miaoyu and Daiyu's words, he replied with a smile: "I often hear my father talk about Lord Lin, but I didn't dare to confirm Miss Lin's identity at the beginning, so I didn't recognize each other, so don't blame Miss Lin." ”

Before Lin Daiyu could speak, Lu Zhiyu smiled and said: "This is a coincidence, Sister Lin and I are cousins, Sister Xing and Sister Lin are also sisters, we will be good sisters in the future." ”

First, she likes Xing Xiuyan's elegant personality, and secondly, she has been very enthusiastic about making friends recently.

Lin Daiyu laughed and said, "You are going around and around, it's hard for you to say it so clearly." ”

Then the four of them talked again, and Lin Daiyu and Lu Zhiyu said goodbye and left from Miaoyu.

After Lu Zhiyu saw Lu Jing, she told Lu Jing that Xing Xiuyan and Daiyu were relatives and that Miaoyu was going to enter Beijing.

Lu Jing admired Xing Xiuyan's life, and he figured out the reason for Miaoyu's entry into Beijing after a little thought.

Miaoyu's master took Miaoyu into Beijing, and saw that the Guanyin ruins and Baye's testament were fake, and it was true to avoid disaster.

Miaoyu is now sixteen or seventeen years old, and she is elegant and dusty, like a fairy, but Miaoyu lives in the temple, and it is inevitable that she will show up on weekdays, and be seen by some sons of the family who enter the incense, and they often come to entangle Miaoyu.

Miao Yu was arrogant and arrogant, and did not want to pay attention to these people, over time, those sons of the family had a lot of difficulties for their masters and apprentices, and even there were coercion and temptation, they naturally could not continue to stay in Panxiang Temple, so they wanted to use this as an excuse to enter Beijing to avoid trouble.
