Chapter 15 Ordering Tea

"Breeze and water."

Mingzhou looked up at the half-old plaque, "That's a good name." ”

Seeing that Ronghua just glanced at him and had already entered, Mingzhou had to turn to the coachman and say, "You go to the lobby first to quench your thirst with a bowl of tea and then wait, just keep the account on me." ”

Mingzhou saw that although the teahouse was small and there were not many people, it seemed that these were all scholars, so he also knew that he was afraid that the coachman of a bowl of loose tea might not be willing to spend this money. Thinking like this, Mingzhou sighed, now Daye is prosperous and only limited to those rich and noble families, but the people are barely living.

Ronghua didn't hear the footsteps, and when he turned around, he saw Mingzhou standing at the door for a long time and didn't come in, and someone in the lobby was already looking over there.

Ronghua called, "Mingzhou." ”

Looking back, the people in the lobby at this time saw Mingzhou's true face, and they all sighed at the glory of the country.

Mingzhou bent his lips and hurriedly followed.

It's still that small compartment, a low wooden table, carved with the land holding peaches, clumps of mountain bamboo forests, grinding smooth, it looks like this small wood has been a lot for a few years.

Xiao Er greeted him and sang with a smile: "A few guest officers! When is the tea ordered? What kind of tea is it? ”

Mingzhou tilted his head slightly, "When do you have tea here?" And where is the tea? ”

"The guest officer is right! If you like light, the small shop has a new tea in the Qingming season, and the most tender and green place on the tip of the tea buds is taken, and there is still water dew when picking! As soon as the boiling water is hot, it is a cup of tea, and when you take a sip, you will be refreshed. ”

"Then let's have some new tea."

"Howler!"

Xiao Er threw off the big towel, carried the long-spout pot and poured two cups of tea foam, "The guest officer uses it first," and then shouted at the lobby downstairs: "It rains a lot during the Qingming Festival, two new tea!" ”

After a while, the tea came up, not cold or hot, the water temperature was just right, a tender green bud tip floated on the top, filtered the tea tea buds, the light green and yellowed tea with the slightly swirling buds was very pleasant.

Ronghua picked up the teacup, nodded towards Mingzhou, rolled up his wide sleeves and took a sip, yes, the tea is light and slightly fragrant, but it is comfortable.

Mingzhou also took a sip and put it down, and praised with a smile: "It's so light, I don't feel tasteless, and I'm patronized by the girl." ”

Mingzhou summoned Xiao Er, "Can you wrap two taels of these tea buds for me?" ”

"The guest officer is polite, and the small one will be wrapped."

"Well, I didn't know there was Tieguanyin here." Tieguanyin is suitable for ordering tea.

"Yes."

Xiao Er ran down and quickly came up with the tile, "Guest officer." ”

Mingzhou had already begun to boil water, he took the tile and uncovered it, looked at it, looked up and thanked Xiao Er.

"You're polite."

The water boiled, Mingzhou looked at the bubbles churning, counting the hours, grinding the tea leaves, grinding them carefully in the direction, his head slightly lowered, and his fingertips on the pestle lined more whitely.

Ronghua feels pleasing to the eye when he looks at it.

Mingzhou finally took the boiling water, and while it was still boiling, he slowly poured it into the tea cup, holding the tea whisk in one hand and making a circle without hurrying or slow, and the movements were smooth. Put it down again, and when the water is almost boiling, take it and stir it again. The movements of the hands did not stop, and they did not feel tired, and they took a total of nine trips of water before they stopped, and then the tea cup rose to the white foam of the paste.

Ronghua smiled, "It's hard to eat Mingzhou's tea!" ”

Ronghua could see at a glance that the other party's tea ordering skills were far superior to her, and the nine boiling water was just right, I am afraid that she would not be able to practice for a few more years, not to mention that the movements were free and natural, and the clouds flowed smoothly, as if it was as easy as raising her hand. Not to mention the kung fu of making tea, between a turn and a circle, the tea blends, too fierce, the tea is strong, too light, and boring, and this strength is particularly well grasped.

Mingzhou handed the tea to Ronghua, Ronghua took the teacup, lowered his head and took a sip, his mouth was full of fragrance, Ronghua's eyes were full of praise, even if she was not convinced, she had to say that this second son was born to be suitable for these literati tastes.

Ronghua couldn't help but think of the time when he used to learn these things in the palace, and the final evaluation of those teachings in the palace was good. Also, the teachers said that she learned quickly and had excellent talent, and at the beginning she was praised to the sky, but in the end she made no progress, no matter how much effort she put in, it was just like this. When the queen mother asked, the teaching can only be said to be good. But good is not the best, she is through but not proficient, but stuck in that chasm, after you can think very highly of yourself here and have nothing to say, the world has to admit that she has attained in this, she can only be said to be good, it can be said that she is not a master. The teachers were extremely disappointed, they thought they could teach a world-famous princess, but in the end, although they were barely said to be talented girls, the contrast was still too great, and they couldn't help but be disappointed.

One teacher said, "Your Highness is brilliant, but he never cares about it, and he wastes it in vain." ”

Ronghua felt that he had put his heart into it, but it could only go so far.

The name of the second son of this Shu often appears in Ronghua's ears, because after those teachings and recite her, he will also say to her: "The second son of the Ming family is also as smart as His Royal Highness, but he is better than blue, and the slave can't afford the second son's voice now, ashamed and ashamed." After speaking, he looked at Ronghua with regret, such a good seedling wilted halfway.

At that time, Ronghua had a very bad impression of Mingzhou, and no one liked to be pressed by others.

And, sure enough, it's not much better now.

This kind of person is just annoying!

Ronghua put down the teacup, "The second son Zhuyu is in front, so I won't get an axe." ”

Mingzhou watched Ronghua's face suddenly cool, and thought about what he had done wrong and offended His Highness. Thinking about it, Ren Mingzhou couldn't think of how he offended Ronghua a long time ago, or because he was too good to be jealous of Ronghua's careful eyes, or through the mouths of several teachers, he silently offended people deeply. What a wrong!

Mingzhou was Ronghua who was read and met as a prince when he was a child, but Ronghua was often absent at that time, and rarely went to Wang Xie Yantang to listen to Mr. Teach, even if he came sometimes, he didn't say a word. And then she never came again. Emperor Ming Zhen also let Ronghua make trouble, and for a while, the princess was boundless.

Mingzhou thought and smiled and beckoned Xiao Er to ask for a yaoqin, and his fingertips plucked, and it rang loudly. He tilted his head slightly and asked Ronghua, "What does the girl want to listen to?" ”

Ronghua was stunned for a moment, then sat up straight, his hands on his knees, "Winter is coming, I don't know if I can look forward to spring and spring?" ”

Mingzhou thought about it, and his fingertips slowly slid on the surface of the piano, and the sound of the sound was together, as if the winter cold was driven away when the spring flowers bloomed.

The sound of the piano spread all the way downstairs, and the self-esteemed readers in the lobby exclaimed: Who is playing the music? Without thinking too much, I was moved by the heart and felt the spring breeze blowing on my face.

At the end of the song, Ronghua let go of his hands, and the clothes seemed to be wrinkled.

Ronghua smiled and stroked his palms, "Jinghong is good." ”

"Your Highness's joy is good."

Ronghua didn't know what to say, she really didn't like Mingzhou more and more. She got up and asked Mingzhou to give in, sat down, and put her hand flat on the piano surface, "A song for Jinghong." ”

Mingzhou sat down and leaned on the pillow, looking at Ronghua, how could he feel that Ronghua was not quite right.

His shiny black hair was scattered on the pillow, and Rong Hua glanced back at it, guilty of sin.

Mingzhou held the tea cup in the palm of his hand and looked at Ronghua. Ronghua leaned over slightly, and the sound of the piano poured out.

Mingzhou was surprised, the sound of the piano was sonorous and rough, and the tone was playing higher and higher, Mingzhou watched Ronghua's hand move faster and faster.

With a bang, the string broke.

Ronghua withdrew his hand, turned his head and smiled slowly at Mingzhou, "It's me who lost my temper." ”

The people downstairs were already dizzy, why was it still Chun and Jingming just now, and at this moment it was a sudden murder.

Mingzhou felt his heart skip a beat, and he seemed to be stunned and didn't react.

Ronghua frowned, got up and walked in front of Mingzhou, and bent down slightly, "Second son? Second son? "This man shouldn't be scared silly, right?

Unexpectedly, Mingzhou grabbed Ronghua's shoulders and looked at Ronghua with blazing eyes, "Your Highness, the piano is impressive, I don't know if I have the honor to listen to another song?" It is a pity to circle the broken string today. ”

Ronghua brushed Mingzhou's hand, straightened his waist and took a few steps back, and said perfunctorily: "I can, if the second prince wants to hear it, I will say it after returning to Beijing." ”

Mingzhou stood up, because the two of them were only a few steps away, Ronghua still had to tilt his head slightly. This made Ronghua take several steps back in displeasure.

"Your Highness likes this genre?"

Ronghua pulled his cheeks, "I can't say I like it, I just can play it." ”

Mingzhou looked at Ronghua's cold back, took Xiao Er's wrapped tea, a small paper bag, and Mingzhou smiled and thanked him. asked about the price of Yaoqin again, paid the silver, and took Yaoqin away by the way.

When Ronghua went downstairs with the curtain, she felt that many people looked at her, thinking that it might be caused by Mingzhou's tuning, and thinking that I was afraid that in the drunken place in Shangjing, Mingzhou's pursuit was even greater.

Ronghua thought about walking faster.

When Mingzhou came down with Yaoqin in his arms, the sound in the lobby continued:

"It must be this son, look at the piano in his hand."

"We are ashamed of this kind of piano art." ……

Mingzhou didn't feel anything, and got into the carriage. Rong Hua, who was sitting on it, looked at the yaoqin and asked, "It is made of inferior wood and the craftsmanship is rude, what else do you bring back?" ”

"Your Highness's use is not to be discarded."

It sounds good to say, but she still ...... I love to hear it!

Ronghua looked at Mingzhou and smiled at her, and suddenly felt that this Mingzhou was simple, and it was really impossible to hate the gentleness and meticulousness of dealing with people.

"Your Highness?"

Ronghua turned his face sideways, his hand clasped on his sleeve, "You have a heart." ”

"The second son should call the girl safely."

"Yes."

There was a moment of silence.

Ronghua pulled up the bamboo curtain, looked at the bustle outside the car, and suddenly turned his head and asked Mingzhou: "Have you ever been on the street alone?" ”

Although Mingzhou didn't know the meaning of this, he still replied honestly: "Yes." ”

"How does that feel?"

"As Your Highness said, it's too noisy and noisy."

Mingzhou remembered Shi Ronghua's complaint and smiled.

"And then?"

"It's very stable."

"Stability?"

"Hmm."

Ronghua turned his eyes to the street again, and then said with a smile: "That's good." ”

"Your Highness is right, the people only need to be stable to be satisfied."

Ronghua put down the bamboo curtain, the carriage suddenly darkened, Mingzhou couldn't see Ronghua's face clearly, only heard her say: "The light is too dazzling, I want to rest." ”
