Chapter 37: Speech and Quotient (3)

Huang Shimei's smile was like a flower, like a spring breeze, and she opened her arms to hug her, Ouyang Zhendong thought that Huang Shimei was going to throw herself into her arms, and her jaw almost fell to the ground.

"Cousin, you...... Well, although I know it shouldn't, but ...... Hey? ”

Ouyang Zhendong only saw Huang Shimei passing by his side, and pounced on Xu Qing, rubbing Xu Qing's chin like a kitten, and called out glutinously: "Brother Xu......" At this time, Huang Shimei's female spirit was gone, and the authority of power was gone, and Ouyang Zhendong lost his mind.

But Xu Qing had goosebumps......

"Shimei, I came to you today for something......

"Hmph, you, you, won't you come to me if you're fine?" Huang Shimei's resentful little expression was close to Xu Qing's mouth, which made Xu Qing freeze for a while.

"Aren't I busy, waiting for you to ......" Before Xu Qing finished speaking, Huang Shimei covered Xu Qing's mouth, shook her head slightly and said, "I know ......" Xu Qing understood, it turned out that there were outsiders here, and it was inconvenient to talk more about the pillow. But Xu Qing is strange again, isn't that man Huang Shimei's cousin? How can Huang Shimei see her like this, is she a Liu Wanjin-style character?

Ouyang Zhendong had already come to his senses at this time, and he frowned and said, "What are you doing, what are you doing, what are you doing?" Shimei, I didn't say you ......"

"I don't want you to care." Huang Shimei turned her head and said coldly to Ouyang Zhendong, the original momentum of the Huang family's hostess was once again revealed.

"Uh......" Xu Qing and Ouyang Zhendong were both speechless. Xu Qing once heard a story, the story said that when Liu Bang married Lu Pheasant in the cave room, he said something like this to Lu Pheasant:

"Pheasant, in the future, when you encounter difficulties, you can cry, but you can only cry in front of me, not in front of others; You can also be angry when you encounter troubles, but you can only be angry in front of others, not in front of me. ”

Now Xu Qing understands the taste.

Some people are happy and some are sad, the double standard of ice and fire, Ouyang Zhendong can feel the weight of ice. Seeing that Huang Shimei couldn't afford to provoke him, he naturally threatened Xu Qing, he said: "Boy, you are so undecency, if the Huang family knows about it, this kind of anger is not something you can bear!" "Ouyang Zhendong has been in Cangzhou for more than ten days, and naturally knows that the Huang family is now in Cangzhou, and no one can compare.

Huang Shimei looked at Xu Qing's black line, and was about to open her mouth to refute Ouyang Zhendong, but Xu Qing laughed and said: "Hahaha, there are still people in Cangzhou who I can't mess with?" "Huang Shimei had nothing to do with him before, and he helped her disgrace Liu Wanjin, but now Huang Shimei has almost straightened out, so don't you take the initiative to maintain it? Huang Shimei smiled with satisfaction, snorted lightly, and took Xu Qing into her small courtyard, leaving Ouyang Zhendong who was stunned.

"Xu Tingshi, that's a powerful character!"

Entering the inner courtyard, Huang Shimei's courtyard is simple and simple, and there is no special boudoir atmosphere. This is very consistent with the atmosphere of worshipping Taoism in the early Tang Dynasty, of course, there are many kinds of people who worship Taoism, there are those who are happy in time, some are wild and uninhibited, some are alchemy, some are far away from the mountains and forests, and there are those who are in the hearts of the people, and they are at peace with what they encounter, all of which are different, or even completely opposite.

Huang Shimei put down the book in her hand, deliberately covered the cover underneath, and ran into the room to entertain Xu Qing with something. Xu Qing walked over by himself, picked up the book and looked at it - "Xu Zi". casually turned the page, damn, isn't this a rhyme? No, isn't this a rhyme written by the master......

"Oh, Brother Xu, mess with other people's things!" Huang Shimei put down a set of utensils and hurriedly snatched the copy of "Xu Zi" in Xu Qing's hand.

"Hmph, Xu Tingshi also has a lot of research on poetry?" Ouyang Zhendong walked in with a gloomy vulture.

"Eh, don't you dare, don't dare to ......" Xu Qing hurriedly shook his head, he is a copyist, where is he really studying poetry?

"Don't be modest, Xu Tingshi, look at how this "Xu Zi" is written? You and Xu Fuzi are from our own family, and they are of the same grade as him......" Ouyang Zhendong did not connect Xu Tingshi with Xu Zi, but wanted to use Xu Zi's youth and promise to satirize Xu Qing.

"This one, hehe...... It's average, but it's ......" Xu Qing smiled and returned, isn't it all about modesty that makes people progress?

"You, what did you say?" Ouyang Zhendong was furious, held back for a long time, and smiled darkly: "What is the origin of Xu Tingshi?" ”

"A ...... of government soldiers"

"Haha, that's true, Shimei, it turns out that Xu Tingshi is a soldier, so I still discuss poetry with him!" Ouyang Zhendong turned his head to look at Huang Shimei, but found Huang Shimei's disdainful eyes. Uh, shouldn't you laugh with me, and at worst you're unhappy, what......

"This "Xu Zi" is Brother Xu's anthology, Brother Xu is modest!" Huang Shimei looked at Xu Qing with a proud smile.

"No, no, no, no, how is it possible! Xu Zi, Xu Qing? No, Xu Zi's name is three words! ”

"But Xu Chuliu's three words? I am young and cheap, and my name is very vulgar, I don't want your Excellency to know ......" Xu Qingwen Zou Zou's appearance caused Huang Shimei to smile.

"No, no, no, I don't believe it, how can you, a government soldier, write this article!" Ouyang Zhendong lost his mind, babbling nonsense, and stumbled out lonely.

"Shimei, is he your cousin?" Xu Qing looked at Ouyang Zhendong's back, and seemed to feel a little familiar, but after thinking about it carefully, he couldn't find that person in his mind.

"No, I've seen it a few times, I only came from Chang'an a few days ago, and I lived in the Huang family without entanglement." Huang Shimei put aside the utensils on the table, which turned out to be a set of tea sets.

"Chang'an?" Xu Qing nodded, and asked evilly, "Shimei, what do you think of your cousin's appearance?" ”

"No man, no woman, disgusting to death......" Huang Shimei smiled indifferently, and played with the tea set in her hand quickly.

Xu Qing knew in his heart, this is the place, Hebei is the land of Yan Zhao, most women like arrogant men, Ouyang Zhendong looks like a cream student, and he is not popular here. It's a pity, if it is put in the next generation, maybe it will also be a male god-like person. Xu Qing touched his face, these days, he finally figured out the level of his appearance, and it sounded good - plain. To put it mildly, it's ...... It's kind of a person. is not handsome, not ugly, not feminine, not heroic, has good facial features, has a hint of obscenity in his honest relationship, and there is a lot of dirtiness in the ordinary.

Tea in the Tang Dynasty was mostly made into tea cakes, which were ground before drinking and then cooked. "The Book of Tea" says that sencha is to boil water in a teapot, after the water boils, measure out the tea powder and throw it from the center, then stir it with bamboo, and then put in onions, ginger, garlic, salt, pepper and other seasonings according to taste, and even beans and rice, and then drink it in a bowl.

The so-called tea soup is drunk in this way, even in later generations, there are many places to drink tea, like to put "salt ginger", which is more beneficial to yang tea, bean tea.

Xu Qing also drank it in the Tang Dynasty, and he didn't know what the taste of the later generations was, but the tea soup here really didn't dare to compliment the taste.

Xu Qing saw that Huang Shimei made teapots, saucers, tea bowls, tea bottles, tea mills, tea Luo and other tea utensils smooth. The tea is boiled, and three inches of charcoal are just burned......

"Brother Xu, great talent, try the tea I brewed......" Huang Shimei took a bowl with satisfaction, raised the tea bowl to her forehead, and respectfully served it to Xu Qing's eyes. It's just that she is not familiar with the operation, and almost pushed the bowl directly on Xu Qing.

"Hmm...... Not bad. Xu Qing showed a lot of enjoyment on his face, but in fact, he was dumb and ate Coptis chinensis, he couldn't say the bitterness, the sour, bitter, astringent and salty gathered together, and a strange smell rushed straight to his nasal cavity, just like eating mustard for the first time.

Huang Shimei listened to Xu Qing's words, and the confidence in her eyes flashed and said, "Really, another bowl of ......"

"Put it on and drink it later." Xu Qing hurriedly shook his head: "I'm going to talk to you about something serious......

"I know, don't you want the Huang family to unite the merchants around Cangzhou to build a chamber of commerce?"

"You know?" Xu Qing really wanted the Huang family to lead a chamber of commerce so that they could know the market situation, so that businessmen would not change prices to evade taxes.

"Didn't expect that, did you?" Huang Shimei smiled slyly.

"Tsk, I didn't expect it, Shimei, you are really smart in ice and snow!" Xu Qing really wanted to praise Huang Shimei from the bottom of his heart.

"Oh, great talent, how is it compared to that Xue'er in your family?" Huang Shimei dragged her chin and blinked.

"This, someone is pregnant with a child, you can't compare to this for ......the time being" Xu Qing knew that Huang Shimei had always wanted to "turn positive", after all, she was the daughter of the family, but Xu Qing wanted to maintain stability, so he broke a big news. If the wife has children, then the thunder will not move.

"What? Pregnant! Hmph...... "Huang Shimei really pouted, unhappy."

"Well, don't be angry, I'll let you get pregnant in a few days, no, you can't get pregnant together, otherwise who will serve me?"

"Who is waiting for you......"

"Hahaha, will you change me to serve you?" Xu Qing said, picked up the tea set, and wanted to drink a cup of tea.

Who knew that Huang Shimei was unwilling, so she stopped Xu Qing and said: "Don't, let others know, then you have to ......."

"It's nothing, I cook three meals a day at home......"

When Huang Shimei heard this, her eyes widened, as if she saw a stone lion flying in the sky.

Boiling water, making tea, drinking tea, I heard that the tea ceremony is studied to the extreme, and there are only these three most authentic things left.

After brewing the tea, Xu Qing saw the familiar cyan tea soup, poured a cup for Huang Shimei, poured a cup for himself, took a sip, smacked his lips, and it was not bad. Although it does not have the fragrance of roasted tea in later generations, it is also a little mellow.

"This ...... Maybe this is seeing mountains and mountains, and seeing water and water, right? Huang Shimei remembered the three lines of Xu Qing's question and asked,

"No, it's making tea and drinking tea......"

When you talk to a smart person, you only need to say half of the words, and when you do things with a smart person, you only need to do three points. Xu Qing wanted to establish a chamber of commerce, but only mentioned to Huang Shimei some simple policies such as halving the tax for joining the chamber of commerce and escorting state soldiers.

No wonder officials have to pick a good secretary! Or a beautiful woman's ......
