Zhong Hao followed Cui Ye back to the small courtyard where he lived. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
As soon as I entered the flower hall, I saw that Xu Feng didn't know what he was talking to the little girl on the painting screen, the little girl on the painting screen was so ashamed that her face was flushed, and it seemed very uncomfortable to stand there with her hands and feet tied.
"The third brother is teasing my family again", Cui Ye said with a smile.
As soon as the painting screen saw Cui Ye coming back, he was finally liberated, and finally he didn't have to greet Xu Feng for Cui Ye, so he was busy saying goodbye and retiring. Cui Ye instructed: "Make another pot of tea!" ”
The painting screen agreed, and ran quickly to the back hall.
Cui Ye smiled at Xu Feng and said, "If the third brother is really interested in the painting screen, I will ask her what she means later, if she agrees, why don't I give him to the third brother." ”
Although the painting screen is the maid of the pawn and the Cui family, the relationship between master and slave in the Great Song Dynasty is not as good as that of the former Tang Dynasty, and the master family generally cannot arrange the marriage of slaves at will. The powerful families in the former Tang Dynasty could dispose of the slaves they raised at will, and they could even kill them alive and take them, and the children born to the slaves were still slaves. Compared with the former Tang Dynasty, the Great Song Dynasty can be said to be much more civilized in terms of the personal dependence between master and slave.
"Hehe, Liulang, who knows me, thank Liulang for my brother first!"
"Third brother, don't be in a hurry to thank me first, the girl who painted the screen may not agree!"
"Hehe, with her brother's amorous means, how could she refuse?"
The little girl painted the screen to make tea quickly, and the three of them chatted for a few words, and the picture screen came up with three bowls of tea on the tray, followed by a little maid with a few exquisite refreshments.
Cui Ye asked, "I'm going to give you to my third brother, are you willing?" ”
When the painting screen heard this, his face suddenly turned red, and he was so ashamed that he didn't dare to raise his head.
"Would you like it or not? Give me a word. ”
The painting screen lowered his head and muttered: "Slave family, slave family......" Painting screen was really shy, and he couldn't say what he was willing to say.
"That's if you don't want to, then you go down! Hehe, third brother, your charm is still not enough! ”
As soon as the painting screen heard Cui Ye's words, he hurriedly said: "The slave family is willing!" After saying that, the picture screen ran to the back hall with a red face.
Zhong Hao smiled at Xu Feng and said, "Congratulations, senior brother, good things have come true!" ”
Xu Feng also said with a smile: "If Wen Xuan wants to learn some style skills, even if he wants to ask his brother, he will not hide his selfishness for his brother!" I think that Ye Xingshou is interesting to you, do you want Senior Brother to teach you a few tricks to help you take down her? ”
Zhong Hao sweated and said, "Senior brother is joking, Ye Xingshou is interesting to me?" Don't put gold on my face! ”
Cui Ye said: "Wen Xuan doesn't have to be too humble, hey, you didn't see Ye Xingshou's eyes looking at you yesterday, not to mention how charming it is!" ”
"Ahem, cough, cough ......" How can these two people talk about this kind of thing, so excited, it seems that they are also two wind embryos. Zhong Hao said in his heart: Alas, with the two of them, he will be taken bad sooner or later.
"Drink tea, drink tea", Zhong Hao interrupted.
"Yes, yes, try my new pair of white buds", Cui Ye said.
Zhong Hao picked up the delicate tea bowl, and when he looked at the tea in the tea bowl, he was a little embarrassed, the color of the tea soup was a little oily, and it really didn't look very delicious. However, seeing Cui Ye and Xu Feng, they seemed to be enjoying themselves.
Zhong Hao really hadn't tasted this sencha, but wanted to taste the taste, so he immediately brought it to his mouth and took a sip, and his mouth was full of sweet, sour, bitter, spicy and salty flavors.
Zhong Hao took a lot of effort to swallow the tea soup without spitting it out.
In fact, Zhong Hao felt that the five flavors were there, but it was true, this tea soup was fried with green onions, ginger, dates, orange peel, dogwood, mint, salt, and a little lard. Sweet, sour, bitter, spicy and salty, the condiments of the five flavors are really all available.
The method of sencha began in the Wei and Jin dynasties, flourished in the Sui and Tang dynasties, and has been passed down to this day. In fact, now in the Great Song Dynasty, the method of brewing tea and ordering tea have become popular, but famous families like the Cui family still uphold the legacy of the family and disdain to accept it. Although the strength of the family gate valve has been greatly weakened by the great **** of the late Tang Dynasty and the five dynasties, they still refuse to bow their heads in terms of adhering to the tradition, and still uphold the legacy of the Wei and Jin dynasties. It's like the horse-drawn cart is faster, but they still like to ride the ox-cart; Obviously, it is more comfortable to sit on the table and stool, when they still like to sit on their knees. In the eyes of the famous clan, this is part of their pride.
Cui Ye saw Zhong Hao take a sip of tea soup with a painful look on his face, and couldn't help laughing: "Wen Xuan can't get used to drinking this sencha?" Why don't I have someone change it for you? ”
Zhong Hao hurriedly said: "Don't bother too much, just brew some tea with boiling water." Zhong Hao was afraid that he would not give him an order, and after a while, he brought himself the kind of tea soup full of foam made by the tea method, which he really couldn't get used to, and he also liked light brewed tea.
Fortunately, the tea that the little girl brought to herself this time was a refreshing brewed tea, and when she held it, she smelled the fragrance of tea.
Cui Ye said: "I'm all dumplings, there is no loose tea, Wenxuan will just take it!" "Most of the high-quality tea leaves of the Great Song Dynasty are made into cake tea, and few loose teas are made. Nowadays, the sencha and tea often drunk by the literati of the Great Song Dynasty are all broken off a piece of cake, kneaded and ground, and then fried or pointed. Loose tea, on the other hand, is generally used for direct brewing. In the Great Song Dynasty, it was generally the poor who brewed tea directly, and the rich and noble families made sencha or ordered tea. The Cui family's wealthy family does not have loose tea suitable for direct brewing, which is not surprising.
At this time, the tea leaves were all finished by steaming the green method, which was still different from the popular fried green method in later generations.
Zhong Hao took a sip of tea, feeling that the taste was not bad, and there was not much difference in drinking, in short, it was better than the tea soup of the sencha.
Zhong Hao put down the teacup and asked, "The two brothers like to drink this mixed tea soup?" ”
Cui Ye said: "I've been used to drinking since I was a child, but I don't feel anything, the five flavors are also very good, savoring the sweet, sour, bitter, spicy and salty, just like the flavors of life, you have to taste it slowly, which is also a good feeling." ”
"The sixth brother can appreciate life with a cup of tea, which shows that he has a lot of concern for the world, and the younger brother admires it!"
"You believe it?"
"Sixth brother is joking?"
Cui Ye smiled bitterly: "Hehe, in fact, I don't like this kind of tea soup, but I was told since I was a child that this kind of tea drinking represents the inheritance of the famous family, and I have been drinking it since I was a child." ”
Xu Feng smiled at this time: "Actually, I don't like to drink very much, but I have been used to drinking with my father since I was a child!" When I came to Shouqian to drink tea, I actually came mostly for the picture screen, and I found that the picture screen sencha looks very delicious! ”
Zhong Hao said with a smile: "Senior brother, you can let the picture screen give you sencha every day in the future, you can watch enough on the side!" ”
"Haha......"
The three of them chatted for a while, and Zhong Hao remembered another purpose of coming here, that is, he wanted to ask Cui Ye who was going to harm him, so that he could have a guard in the future. Yesterday in Ye Yihan's place, it was not convenient to talk about these mundane things, but Zhong Hao never asked.
"Sixth brother, this time the younger brother is in prison, do you know who wants to harm me?"
Cui Ye groaned: "This ...... It's Tang Wei of the Tang family, the Tang family's power is not small, if you want to retaliate against him, I'm afraid it will be a little difficult! ”
"Retaliation...... The little brother didn't think about it, he just wanted to know who was going to harm me, so I could be on guard in the future! ”
Xu Feng said on the side: "Tang Er, this kid is flying and domineering, if Wen Xuan has a good way to rectify him, he must count me in!" "Xu Feng had a holiday with Tang Wei before, so it's very similar to Zhong Hao trying to find a way to fix him.
"Two brothers, tell me about the situation of the Tang family and Tang Wei first!"
Cui Ye had a deep understanding of the background and power of the major families in Qingzhou, so he told Zhong Hao about the power of the Tang family and some related things about Tang Er.
Zhong Hao heard Cui Ye say that Taibai Mansion and Xiaonanguo were both the Tang family's property, and only then did he know why Tang Wei wanted to frame him, it turned out that he had inadvertently offended him twice.
When Zhong Hao heard that the Tang family was going to discuss the marriage with the Wang family in ****** recently, and many gentry and celebrities were going to participate, his eyes couldn't help but light up, and he said: "The younger brother has an idea that can make Tang Er depressed for a while, why don't the two brothers help to take a closer look?" ”
Xu Feng suddenly became interested, and said with a smile: "Oh, Wenxuan, let's talk about it!" ”
Zhong Hao said his mind at the moment.
Xu Feng listened to it and said happily: "Hehe, this idea is really bad, I think it is feasible." Haha, finally let me find a chance to put him Tang Er! ”
Cui Ye also smiled: "I didn't expect Wen Xuan's polite and polite character to be able to come up with such a bad move, hehe, but it's really a good idea, it is estimated that it can make Tang Er angry to death!" ”
Zhong Hao said: "If you do it, Tang Er won't suspect me, right?" ”
Xu Feng said: "Haha, you can rest assured." Tang Er's kid is causing trouble everywhere, I don't know how many people in Qingzhou City want to fix him, he must not think of who can do this! ”
