Chapter 294: New Tea and Old Tea

Fresh crucian carp eats silk, parsley and green stream soup.

The daily feast of the Hou Mansion is so extravagant, the workmanship is extremely fine, the jade plate is delicacious, the color and taste are good, and the food is like the phoenix pith dragon liver, which makes people have endless aftertaste. It's just such a meal, I don't know how much silver taels it will cost, but it certainly won't be a small amount.

After the meal, a little maid brought a cup of fragrant tea with a small tea tray and handed it to Zhu Ping'an.

Zhu Ping'an noticed that the old lady of the Hou Mansion had not yet served fragrant tea at the table, but the little maid served herself a fragrant tea first. Yu Guang noticed several young ladies in the Hou Mansion, including Zhou Fatzi, and looked at him with inquiring and joke eyes, as if he was waiting for his dirt bun to make a joke.

From their eyes, Zhu Ping'an only thought about it, and knew that this cup of tea was intentional.

After the rebirth of the Ming Dynasty, although he never rinsed his mouth with tea after meals, he has seen the Dream of Red Mansions, and he also knows the habit of these wealthy families to rinse their mouths with tea after meals.

Therefore, it could only disappoint everyone, Zhu Ping'an took the teacup and hooked the corners of his lips slightly.

Look, that dirt bun has taken the teacup, giggles, shouldn't he really drink it as tea, giggles

Miss Hou Fuliu stared at Zhu Ping'an with a pair of big eyes without blinking, and many little stars flashed excitedly in her eyes.

Zhu Ping'an took the teacup and lifted the teacup up to expectations, only to see that in the white porcelain bowl like jade, the pieces of tender tea are like a bird's tongue, the color is dark green, and the blue liquid reveals a burst of fragrance.

In everyone's sight, Zhu Ping'an picked up the teacup, and then took a big sip of it. It's a big bite.

I drank such a big sip

The cow chews the peony, it's really unproductive

In the living room, except for Li Shu's master and servant. The others all had a little smile on the corner of their lips, just waiting to see Zhu Ping'an's joke. In particular, Miss Hou Fuliu has shifted her gaze from Zhu Ping'an to Li Shu. When Zhu Ping'an makes a fool of himself, let's see what Li Shu's expression is.

However, to the disappointment of Miss Hou Fuliu, Li Shu did not have a nervous expression on her face at all. In Li Shu's heart, even if Zhu Ping'an didn't know that it was mouthwash tea, this Hou Mansion was just a group of toads in the well guarding a little glory left by the ancestors, and they couldn't see Mount Tai! It's all a bunch of self-righteous toads.

It's just that the next scene disappointed Miss Hou Fuliu and the others again.

After Zhu Ping'an took a big sip of tea, he looked at the little maid who brought the tea. Under Zhu Ping'an's gaze, the little maid slowly took out the gargle, and then Zhu Ping'an rinsed his mouth with tea and handed the teacup back to the little maid.

This bad guy always likes to play tricks on people like this. The corners of Li Shu's mouth hooked up a slight smile, and then rinsed her mouth with tea.

After rinsing her mouth, another little maid brought another cup of tea, which was the tea to drink.

Li Shu picked up the tea cup, pinched the tea lid with her slender jade hand and gently knocked on the rim of the cup a few times. Sakura's lips blew slightly, put the tea cup to her lips, and Qiong's nose sniffed slightly, but put it down again.

"Fifth sister. Why don't you drink it, but you can't get used to it? Why don't you let someone make a bowl of sugar water for your sister? ”

Miss Hou Fuliu blinked her big watery eyes and asked curiously like a baby. The expression is full of sisterly concern, just words. It is very reminiscent of Li Shu coming from the countryside, with a faint sense of contempt.

"yes. I can't get used to it. ”

When Li Shu heard this, her big watery eyes looked at the sixth sister as if she was smiling, with a faint playful smile on her small mouth.

Before the sixth lady of Hou Fu's smile bloomed, Li Shu continued:

"The tea is subtle, like a bird's tongue, the leaves are golden, the color is tender green, the tea is bright, the aroma is high, this is the authentic Huangshan Maofeng, right?"

Miss Hou Fuliu was a little surprised, "Fifth sister has good eyesight. ”

"It's just that the tea buds in the cup have shrunk, but the color is tender and green, but there is a touch of withered yellow, and the aroma is low, this Huangshan Maofeng is afraid that it is old tea, right?" Li Shu gently wiped her lips with an embroidered handkerchief in her hand, and her dark eyes deliberately overflowed with obvious disgust.

Miss Houfu Liu's mouth opened slightly, she was very surprised, she didn't expect Li Shu to be able to see that this was Huangshan Maofeng, and she didn't expect Li Shu to be able to see that this was Chen Tea.

"Drinking tea should be new, and drinking wine should be old. At home, I try new tea, but I can't get used to this old tea. In previous years, the house was still drinking new tea, but now it is drinking old tea. ”

Li Shu put down the embroidered handkerchief, stared at the sixth sister with a pair of clear eyes, her beautiful eyes flowed, she smiled slightly, opened her mouth lightly, and turned to the little girl with the bun standing behind her and instructed casually, "Painting, tell me to go down, the flying pigeon is a messenger, send two carts of this year's new tea, oh, remember to Longjing before the rain." After this spring, when the new tea is picked, two more truckloads will be sent. ”

"Yes Miss."

When the little girl heard this, she puffed out her chest, responded with full of energy, turned around and walked out, full of energy, and her feet were raised high.

Everyone in the Hou Mansion

This girl's temper really hasn't changed at all, Zhu Ping'an glanced at Li Shu, who was covering her small mouth and full of ladylike temperament, and pouted silently.

The banquet in the Hou Mansion was dispersed like this, and everyone left separately, except for the old lady of the Hou Mansion at the beginning, she never said anything to Zhu Ping'an, and she didn't mean to regard Zhu Ping'an as the son-in-law of the Hou Mansion at all.

Of course, Zhu Ping'an didn't pay attention to this at all.

After the dinner, Zhu Ping'an walked to the guest room along the same road, and there were maids shuttling back and forth along the way from time to time, but these maids looked at Zhu Ping'an with a strange gaze, as if with a sense of ridicule.

These maids know everything about the master of the Hou Mansion, and when they saw Zhu Ping'an's obviously unfamiliar face, they knew that Zhu Ping'an was the new fifth aunt of the Hou Mansion today. For them, the most powerful in the Hou Mansion is, of course, the old lady of the Hou Mansion, and then the eldest lord who inherited the Marquis of Linhuai, but to say that the richest in the Hou Mansion is the third master, and many of the running water expenses of the Hou Mansion every year are filled by the three masters.

However, what they couldn't figure out was that the fifth lady, the pearl of the third master's favorite, was promised to a poor talent in the countryside. This news was well known to everyone in the Hou Mansion at that time, which made many small stewards feel unfair, and the poor and talented people in the countryside were not as good as them, envy, jealousy and hatred, and the Hou Mansion circulated a lot of versions of the story about this fifth aunt.

What's going on.、Upside down the door.,Anyway, every version is not a good word.。

Therefore, now that they see this fifth aunt himself, they can't help but think of those versions of the story about the fifth aunt, they don't dare to say anything on their faces, but they despise it fiercely in their hearts. (To be continued......)
