In Ji Ning's opinion, it doesn't matter whether he can know King Chong or not, and whether he is lucky enough to be able to watch the ceremony of Lord Huaizhu.

He went as a guest, and watching the little girl comb her hair and wear a golden hairpin did not have the slightest impact on his life. As for selling his knowledge in front of King Chong, in his opinion, it is a very unwise thing, King Chong is old and respectful, or the prince who holds great power, what he values is the ability of his subordinates to work hard, he is just a posterity, in addition to having a certain advantage in paper articles, where is there any practical experience?

So Ji Ning also made up his mind, when he arrived at the banquet in Chongwang's Mansion, he only needed to talk less, and it was okay if he could know a few dignitaries, but he had to do it in moderation, so as not to be regarded as him going to climb the dragon and attach the phoenix, and others would think he was very pretentious.

Separated from Xie Tai, Ji Ning was going back to the house, in the afternoon he was going to go directly to Sanwei Academy to discuss some teaching progress with Mi Zhirong, in the past, he could use his preparation for the township exam as an excuse to hand over the affairs of Sanwei Academy to Mi Zhirong to do, now that he has finished the exam, he can no longer always pretend to others, if Mi Zhirong is angry and doesn't help him, then the entire Sanwei Academy will be messed up.

As soon as he returned to Ji Mansion by carriage, he saw a small sedan chair in front of the house, this kind of sedan chair is generally ridden by official women, Ji Ning looked at it, and also checked whether the people in the sedan chair came to find him, and soon, a person came out from behind the sedan chair, not a lady, but a pretty maid, who was the personal maid "Caixia" of "Su Pujia". Ji Ning thought to himself, this Su Pujia seems to be good enough for the maid, and the maid can actually take a sedan chair when she goes out?

"The slave has seen Ji Gongzi." Yuzhen came over and gave Ji Ning Huanting a salute.

"Miss Caixia, what's the matter with you?" Ji Ning also returned the salute, and saw that Yuzhen seemed to be holding a letter in her hand, and without explanation, Ji Ning also knew that it was written by "Su Pujia".

Yuzhen sent the letter to Ji Ning and said, "My young lady is tasting tea in Cuining Teahouse, and I met a few pots of good tea, and I want to invite Ji Gongzi to taste it together, this is an invitation, and I hope Ji Gongzi will appreciate his face!" ”

Ji Ning took the letter and looked at it, the small characters on it were written by "Su Pujia" himself, the words were like his person, Ji Ning could feel the gentleness and grace of the person who wrote the letter from between the lines, Ji Ning couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "It seems that this Miss Su is indeed everyone's beautiful and beautiful wisdom, with the character of the original guy in my body, the Su family should also withdraw from the marriage, and this can't blame Miss Su." ”

Since it was "Su Pujia" who was invited, Ji Ning guessed that he wanted to ask himself about the township exam, in the past half a year or so, he rarely went out of the house, which was considered to be in retreat, and now that the exam is over, people come to visit him out of kindness. Ji Ning didn't dare to expect that "Su Pujia" could completely change his opinion of himself, and he didn't dare to expect that "Su Pujia" was looking at himself.

"Miss Caixia went back and told your young lady, I'll go back and clean up briefly, and I'll go over." Ji Ning said.

"Okay, the slave will tell the young lady the truth, and the son should not delay for too long." After Yuzhen finished speaking, she turned around and went in the direction of the sedan chair and left in the sedan chair.

……

……

Ji Ning went back and simply sorted it out, and he didn't even bother to eat lunch, so he asked He An to take him to Cuining Teahouse in a car.

On weekdays, most of the places where students hold cultural meetings are teahouses, wine shops, and chess clubs, so after Ji Ning came to this world, he was relatively familiar with the teahouses around him, and he could find them without other people's guidance.

Cuining Tea House is a mid-range tea house in Jinling City, not much luxury, but very elegant, there is a small door for female guests to enter and exit, upstairs set up a lot of private rooms for guests to talk, the sound insulation effect is very good, Ji Ning has not gone upstairs, he saw that "Cai Xia" has been waiting for him downstairs, and came to lead him to a tea room by the window on the second floor.

At this time, Li Xiuer, dressed in a lake-blue long skirt, sat on her knees, her ankles were hidden under the hem of the long skirt, but she couldn't be completely hard, her pretty face did not show the flashiness of fat powder, Emei Qingdai, she was especially beautiful without makeup, she picked up the teapot with both hands and poured out the tea with very elegant movements, and the green air was full of tea fragrance, and Ji Ning was stunned for a while.

"Ji Gongzi? The concubine has not yet reached the distance, and she still hopes to atone for her sins. Li Xiu'er stood up, smiling, with a shallow smile on her cheeks, which made her even more beautiful.

Ji Ning said: "It's late next year." Miss Su, don't be surprised. ”

Li Xiu'er shook her head and glanced at Ji Ning when she heard this, smiled slightly, Qianqianyu stretched out her hand, and said, "Master Ji, please take a seat." ”

Ji Ning sat down at this time, Li Xiu'er poured tea for Ji Ning, and said lightly: "I was a little distracted when I saw Ji Gongzi come in before, but is it because this tea is fragrant?" ”

"Tea fragrance, but ......" Ji Ning paused, but he was also a little apologetic, but he still told the truth, "With Miss Ji's beauty, she will lose her mind for a while in the next place, it is really a beautiful woman, if there is wine, she should really punish herself with three glasses, Miss Ji should not be a frivolous prodigal." ”

Li Xiu'er suddenly straightened her face and said, "Ji Gongzi's words are really abrupt...... Puff ......"

She originally wanted to put on a straight face and blame Ji Ning for two sentences, but suddenly she couldn't help laughing, this smile, as if the color had lost between heaven and earth, made Ji Ning the only one left in his eyes. Ji Ning hurriedly lowered his head, lest he fall deeper and deeper, but he blamed himself in his heart: "Maybe I came a few years late, such a beautiful woman, but I have nothing to do with her!" ”

Li Xiu'er didn't know what Ji Ning was thinking, she naturally raised the teacup, handed it to Ji Ning, and said: "Ji Gongzi, you taste it first, this is the concubine body according to the content of the book in the "Book of Tea", adding some aged petals in the clouds and mist of Lushan, after nine hundred and eighty-one days of drying, the fragrance of tea and flowers are all integrated into it, and even the concubine has never tasted it, and today she will be ugly in front of Ji Gongzi. ”

"The Book of Tea?" Ji Ning thought about it, the "Book of Tea" he knew was written by Lu Yu, a famous tea drinker in ancient times, but it was not the same as the author of the "Book of Tea" in this time and space, and although the content of the writing was all about the tea ceremony, its content was still fundamentally different.

"Yes, the "Book of Tea" written by the great calligrapher and writer Song Kuangyan in the former dynasty, and the concubine is also occasionally in her father's collection...... Well, I have seen it, but on weekdays, the concubine is alone in the boudoir, and no one can appreciate it, so I thought that Ji Gongzi might be good at the tea ceremony, and I wanted to come over and ask Ji Gongzi for advice. Li Xiu'er said that she was here to ask for advice, but it was more like she had learned a good craft, and she wanted to come over and let Ji Ning try it first.

Ji Ning sighed lightly: "It's not good to drink tea, let alone taste tea, what kind of tea is poured down on weekdays to quench your thirst." I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint Miss Su. ”

Li Xiu'er was not only not disappointed, but was very happy, pursed her lips and smiled: "Ji Gongzi's words are really direct, if he is an ordinary son, then he will pretend to understand if he doesn't understand, and he won't say the problem so directly." In fact, tea is originally meant to quench thirst, so how fragrant is it? ”

Ji Ning Zhengse nodded and said: "I didn't expect Miss Su to have this understanding, in fact, when people are thirsty, what they want to drink most is not a cup of fragrant tea, but just water." In fact, born and living in this world, isn't it also asking for two meals and one night a day, and growing old with the hand of the son of the beloved? ”
