Chapter 128: The Scheme

After ordinary people refuse, the other party will not say anything, but this Shugui Concubine and Xi Concubine are obviously premeditated, and they don't give Gu Muyan any chance to dodge at all.

It was just luck that Concubine Xi was relieved for a while, but now that she was warned by Concubine Shugui's eyes, she naturally strengthened her position again.

So Gu Muyan could only make tea for Concubine Shu and Concubine Xi.

"Your Majesty also likes to make tea when you have nothing to do, but this palace is not easy to let you teach today, and it happens that Yan'er is here today, so it is better to teach this palace." Concubine Shu asked with a smile.

Teaching her to make tea Gu Muyan is not a problem, what I am afraid of is making tea for Concubine Shu, so when Concubine Shu mentioned teaching, Gu Muyan agreed and said: "If Niang Niang wants to learn, Yan'er will definitely not refuse." ”

"Then let's talk about the general meaning of this, so that the palace can have a general understanding." Concubine Shu said with an open mind on the side.

"The tea boiling method refers to the tea being boiled and drunk in water, and the tea is directly cooked in the kettle, which is basically to first crush the cake and tea for later use, and then start to boil the water. Put selected water in a kettle and bring to a boil over charcoal. But not all boiling, add the tea powder. Tea and water blend, the second boiling of the appearance of foam, foam for small camellia, for the large flowers, are the essence of tea. At this time, the foam is ladled out and placed in the cooked bowl for later use. Gu Muyan pointed to the tea set in front of him and introduced them one by one.

"Why don't you use this first brew of tea? Isn't it the essence of it? Concubine Xi asked suspiciously, the tea in her bedroom is brewed directly, where is the difference between one brew and two brews!

Gu Muyan knew that this Concubine Xi really didn't understand the tea ceremony, so she naturally explained patiently: "This tea is a tea cake made after frying, but it is inevitable that it will be slightly scorched in the process of frying, so it is naturally a little bitter, and this tea is originally a little bitter, and this bitterness is followed by the sweetness of the aftertaste." ”

"So that's the case, no wonder Your Majesty doesn't like to drink the tea in the palace!" Concubine Xi frowned and said, thinking that in the future, she would definitely order someone to pour out this first brew of tea!

The palace people in this palace are really, they don't know, don't they know that they have been serving their masters for so long? Thinking of this, Concubine Xi's face was not so good-looking.

"What is my sister thinking? So distracted? Concubine Niangniang pulled Concubine Xi's sleeve and asked.

"Not those dog minions yet!" Concubine Xi angrily said the words in her heart directly, but before she finished speaking, she swallowed the following words, and explained with an embarrassed smile: "Hehe, let the county lord laugh, this palace thought of something angry, so I was annoyed for a while." ”

"Where is it, Niangniang is really temperamental, then His Majesty likes it!" Gu Muyan said flatteringly, and now Concubine Xi was even happier, and she smiled and let Gu Muyan continue.

I saw Gu Muyan pointing to the tea set in front of him and said: "After the first brew of water arrives, we still have to continue to boil with selected water, and the tea and water are further fused, and the waves are surging, which is called three boiling." At this time, the water and tea that are filled with foam at the time of the second boiling are poured into the tea, and the amount is strictly measured according to the number of people. The tea soup is boiled and evenly poured into each person's bowl, including rain and dew, and the meaning of sweet and bitter is shared. ”

"Then this good water is exquisite?" Concubine Shu asked, and then put her eyes on Gu Muyan's body.

And Gu Muyan thought about it before saying: "The best thing about this good water is the snow water that falls on the plum blossoms in winter, this snow water carries the fragrance of plum blossoms, and the decoction of the tea will also be contaminated, and the fragrance will be ten miles, but this good snow water is also rare in the world!" Generally, it is best to use clear mountain spring water, but if it is just ordinary snow water, it is not as good as mountain spring water. ”

"On weekdays, I only know that the snow is good, but I don't know that this good snow water is actually on the plum branches." Concubine Shu really didn't know this, and now that Gu Muyan said that she must use all means to take down some of the snow water on this plum blossom and make tea for today!

This tea boiling water has three boils: "Its boiling, like a fish's eyes, has a slight sound, and is a boil; The edge of the edge is like a spring with beads, and it is two boiling; Teng waves, for three boiling. The above water is inedible, this old water lady should know, right? Gu Muyan continued.

"You know, this old saying in the capital is a thousand waters! Naturally, this water cannot be used. Concubine Xi is like a child who is humbly taught, this is something Gu Muyan has never seen.

And then the two of them began to make tea under the guidance of Gu Muyan, and Gu Muyan was idle.

"First grind the cake and tea and set aside, then start boiling the water, put the good water in a kettle, and bring it to a boil over a charcoal fire. But not all boiling, the water boils until the water begins to appear like a fish's eye, and there is a slight sound, then add the tea to let the tea blend. When the edge of the second boiling appears like a spring, the foam that is connected into beads, the foam is a small camellia, and the foam is a large flower, all of which are the essence of tea. At this time, the foam is ladled out and placed in the cooked bowl for later use. Continue to boil, when the tea is tumbling and rushing like a wave, it is called three boils. At this time, the foam that comes out of the second boiling is poured into the kettle, which is called "saving the boiling" and "Yuhua". When the essence is even, the tea soup will be ready. Gu Muyan said as she spoke, and Concubine Shu and Concubine Xi began to make tea at the same time.

This lady lady learned very quickly, and soon the fragrance of tea had already come out, wafting in the air, so that Gu Muyan had to sigh that the tea ceremony she had learned so well in her previous life was on par with a lady who had never made tea by herself.

"Yan'er is also the master of the palace today, and this first cup of tea has to be seen by Yan'er to see if it can pass!" Concubine Shuniang put the soaked cha in the cup in front of her, took a few casually and handed them to Gu Muyan and Concubine Xi.

This is in the palace, Gu Muyan is not afraid that Concubine Shu and Concubine Xi will be unfavorable to him, so he can rest assured that the cup of tea handed over by Concubine Shu will be drunk.

"Niangniang's hand, Yan'er's master is also ashamed!" Gu Muyan laughed and said, just as he was about to find an excuse to leave, suddenly a eunuch outside the door of this hall sang the voice of the emperor coming.

"The emperor has arrived!"

"The concubine has seen the emperor! Long live my emperor, long live it! "Wechen has seen the emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

"Calm down, I can smell the fragrance of tea in the palace of the concubine from afar!" Today, I smiled at the lady concubine, and my eyes were full of love.

But Gu Muyan understands that there are so many sincere feelings in this palace! Half of Jinshang's attitude towards Concubine Shu may be because of herself, but the other half must be because of the Su family.

I saw that Concubine Shu slowly saluted again and said: "Today, the concubine invited His Royal Highness the county lord, and it happened that my sister also came, so I asked His Royal Highness the county lord to teach the concubine to make tea." ”

"Oh? It seems that Huaining is very proficient in the tea ceremony! Imakami put his hands behind his back and smiled heartily.

"Yan'er doesn't dare to get an axe!" Gu Muyan should bow to today.

I didn't say anything more, just walked forward and drank a cup of tea that Shuguifei had just brewed under the service of Concubine Shu, and tasted it carefully before saying: "Tea is not as strong as wine, and the water is bland, it has its own unique aroma and glycol, which lasts for a long time, and the tea fragrance is everywhere." ”

This is a very good interest today, but Gu Muyan is not like this anymore, I don't know why, since I entered this palace, I feel that my body is inexplicably hot, and now it is even worse, and even my face feels hot.

"County Lord, why is your face red?" Concubine Xi said suspiciously, her voice was not big or small, just enough for Jinshang to hear clearly.

Jinshang, who was walking in front, naturally turned around when he heard the voice, and coincidentally, the fragrance on Jinshang's body drifted into Gu Muyan's nose again.

And at this time, Gu Muyan finally sensed that something was wrong, this tea was really problematic, I am afraid that today's concubine will be waiting for her to relax her vigilance and drink tea!

After all the calculations, I still haven't been able to count this concubine, it seems that the matter of rescuing my grandmother from the Prime Minister's Mansion has alerted the fourth prince Xiao Yi and Gu Hao, and this alertness turned out to be a few minutes earlier than I expected, which is the most deadly.

How could he be unprepared to escape the calculations of this concubine, the fourth prince and Xiao Yi! And there may be more than just these three people, maybe more! After all, I was careless, and I was actually hit by this aphrodisiac drug.

It's just that it didn't take long for Gu Muyan's blush on his face to fade a little, and he replied to Jinshang as if nothing had happened: "Maybe it's because Yan'er's grandfather let Yan'er eat a lot of nourishing things a few days ago, and this walk feels warm on his body, and he wears a lot today, which makes Jinshang smile." ”

"Taifu also feels sorry for you!" Jinshang said angrily, and then stood in place and recalled: "When I was a child, my body was skinny, and the Queen Mother also fed a lot of supplements, leaving a full nosebleed for a month hahaha!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Muyan suddenly covered his nose and said, "Your Majesty, Yan'er may also seem to have a nosebleed, so Yan'er will retire first..."

"It can't be such a coincidence!" Concubine Xi was here to help Concubine Shu today, so she naturally knew Concubine Shu's plan today, and she also knew why Gu Muyan was blushing now.

Now seeing that Gu Muyan wants to escape, he naturally wants to stop it, after all, Gu Muyan's appearance has not yet come out today, and this play has not been sung yet! How could Concubine Xi let Gu Muyan leave?

"It's also good, if it's really the county lord, let's go down and deal with it quickly!" Concubine Shu said with concern, and was busy calling someone to take Gu Muyan's hand away and then deal with it.

However, Gu Muyan's hand was not put down for a long time, and the palace maid said a little anxiously: "Please also ask the county lord to take his hand away, and we can also clean up for the county lord!"
