Chapter 44: Boiling Tea

Ning Jiang and Chun Jianli walked down the street together.

The two walked side by side, followed by Qin Wuyan, who was dressed as a maid.

At this moment, Ning Jiang was actually quite vigilant in his heart, in his opinion, Chun Jianli's attitude was somewhat strange, and along the way, it was more like he was looking for something to get close to him.

Ning Jiang didn't think that this world had hatred for no reason, but in the same way, he didn't believe that this world had inexplicable kindness. The heart of defense is indispensable, although he did play the role of Chun Jianli's "life-saving benefactor", but he also humiliated her in public, with the proud temperament shown by Chun Jianli, he didn't think that Chun Jianli could forget that kind of humiliation.

What's more, behind the spring note, there is the mysterious Zoroastrianism.

Of course, because the first to release "goodwill" was he who "saved" Chun Jianli that night. Because of this, on the surface, he naturally has to follow Chun Jianli to act together.

Turning his head to look at it, the spring paper at this moment is indeed indecent, but she really can't see anything wrong. At most, he is a year older than Xiao Meng, but he doesn't have the sense of contrivedness that he has obviously practiced many times when he first met him. Sometimes he pursed his lips and curled his lips slightly, and then, without thinking of something, turned his head and glared at him viciously, and sometimes he suddenly blushed and hung his head.

Chun Jianli's appearance made Ning Jiang feel a little confused, because he suddenly found that he couldn't grasp this girl, or rather, couldn't figure out her hidden scheming. Has her charm been further refined? However, the tricks that can deceive oneself should not exist.

Returned to the house by the Dye River, Xiaomeng has not returned. Ning Jiang entertained Chun Jianli in the courtyard, and Qin Wuyan entered the house and took out melons and fruit snacks. Ning Jiang was at the stone table in the corner of the courtyard. Put a stove and boil water to make tea.

The "boiling tea" of this era is much more troublesome than the popular tea in the later world in another world, because it is not only tea that is boiled, but also various spices such as ginger, orange peel, red dates, and mint need to be added to the tea. Therefore, the combination of these spices, the timing of addition, the heat, etc., are very particular. And now, it is the best time to drink "Ming Qian tea".

Ning Jiang looked at it while boiling tea. Being able to invite the most famous "beauty" in the current capital to sit alone in his own home is something that many talented people are afraid to meet but not seek. In fact, Ning Jiang couldn't understand why she followed her home.

At this moment, Chun Jianli sat quietly opposite him. Neither has the "sweetness" that makes him feel contrived when she secretly uses charm, or deliberately shows her beauty, but she can't see the wildness in her bones, and at a glance, it looks a bit like longing for some kind of beautiful girl next door.

Although the red clothes were bright, under her bowed head and silent expression, it was no longer like a fire, but a bit like a water lily in the river. With a sword at his waist, his hands unconsciously between his legs. The beautiful face is as delicate as a blown-up.

Occasionally, quietly raise your head. glanced at Ning Jiang, and lowered his head a little at a loss, obviously there was no topic anymore, and Xiaomeng didn't come back, but he didn't leave. Her appearance made Ning Jiang frown slightly. Or rather, he actually didn't like her the way she was now.

The tea in the teapot was bubbling. Ning Jiang picked it up, poured it into another empty pot, and then poured a cup for Chun Jianli. Chun Jianli carefully picked up the cup. Gently blew a few times, put it into his lips, suddenly choked out, put the teacup back on the table, stomped his foot hard, pursed his mouth tightly, and suddenly raised his head and looked at Ning Jiang...... You want to poison me?

Ning Jiang spread his hands...... He doesn't know how to make tea at all!

Boiling tea is a kind of technical work, which is different from making tea, which is nothing more than throwing down the tea leaves and brewing them in boiling water. Boiling tea is such a thing, boiling it well is enjoyment, and boiling it badly is similar to drinking medicine. This kind of troublesome and difficult to grasp thing has long been eliminated in the other world, and it is really not his fault that he can't make tea.

Chun Jianli glared at him viciously, a little angry, snatched the tea set and the small stove, and simply did it herself.

It was at this time that the neighing of horses sounded outside the gate, and immediately after, Xiaomeng's call came: "Brother, look who is coming!" ”

When he first heard the neighing of horses, Ning Jiang was guessing who had come to the door. When I heard my sister's voice, I was a little surprised. First, his sister came back earlier than he expected, and second, what he left outside the city was nothing more than a light carriage, and the sound outside was at least a cart drawn by two horses.

Before he could guess, his sister's voice rang out. He got up and came to the courtyard, only to see two women walking in together, one of them was naturally his sister, and the other was actually Princess Luanmei.

At this moment, the eldest princess of Luanmei did not wear the inconvenient deep clothes anymore, but a azure undergarment, covered with a skirt made of white gauze, and a white arm silk hanging on her shoulders.

didn't expect Qimeng to be with her sister, Ning Jiang was quite surprised. The eldest princess of Luanmei didn't expect Chun Jianli to be here, seeing that Chun Jianli hurriedly got up, stepped forward to salute, smiled and nodded: "It turns out that Jianli is also here?" ”

Chun Jianli hurriedly said: "I just met Ning Gongzi on the road, and then came to chat with Xiaomeng's sister, she hasn't come back yet, so I'm waiting here." She didn't know why she was so eager to explain.

Xiaomeng said: "Brother, are you making tea?" Just now, I'm dying of thirst! ”

Ning Jiang smiled, and invited the eldest princess Luanmei to sit together, and the four of them sat down separately. Ning Jiang and Chun Jianli were still sitting in their same places, Xiao Meng was sitting on his brother's right hand, and when he saw that there was already a pot of freshly brewed hot tea on the table, he had already poured a cup for the eldest princess sister opposite, and he also poured a cup himself.

Xiaomeng was already thirsty, so he picked up the small cup and put it in his mouth, but then turned his head and squirted out with a "poof". Opposite her, the eldest princess Luanmei, who raised her sleeve with her left hand and drank gracefully, also coughed sharply. Then, the two couldn't help but turn their heads to look at Chun Jianli together.

The eldest princess of Luanmei thought: "Jian Lijian dances, excellent piano skills, and tea making skills...... It's really not good. ”

Little dreamed: "She actually brewed such tea for my brother to drink, does she want to poison my brother?" ”

Chun Jianli looked left and right, thinking why are you looking at me like this? Suddenly, he reacted, turned around, looked at the stove and tea set for making tea that had been snatched by himself just now, and shouted in his heart that he had been wronged...... I didn't make the tea you drink!!!

Unexpectedly, Princess Luanmei and Xiaomeng misunderstood that she had boiled such a tea, which was similar to poison, Chun Jianli was a little speechless, so she simply rolled up her sleeves, picked up the teapot, and prepared it to boil it once, letting them know that her skills in making tea were not inferior to her sword dance and piano skills.

Ning Jiang said: "We still don't drink tea, let's go outside." ”

Chun Jianli hurriedly said: "Wait a minute, wait a minute!" "At least I'll have to wait until I'm done showing my hand and wash away my grievances.

Xiaomeng nodded vigorously: "Mm-hmm, go play outside." "What if she poisons the tea?

The eldest princess of Luanmei smiled and got up: "Then let's go for a walk!" ”

Chun Jianli hurriedly said: "Don't...... "I also want to show my superb tea art...... Don't go!

It's a pity that Princess Luanmei and Xiaomeng have already decided that the tea just now was made by her, and they don't plan to give her another chance to harm them.

When she was wandering on the street, Chun Jianli was always looking at Ningjiang with resentful eyes...... This person didn't give her a chance, obviously because he didn't want the eldest princess and his sister to know that the tea, which was as bad as poison, was brewed by him, and it was treacherous.
