Chapter 210: On Tea (Part II)

In front of Li Xiuer, Ji Ning unconsciously talked about the problem of "holding the hand of the son and growing old with the son", because in his eyes, Li Xiuer is so good, so that he hopes to share what he thinks, discuss with Li Xiuer, gain her recognition, and enhance the feeling of a family of two people, even if it can't be sublimated into love, he also hopes to get Li Xiuer's attention.

Li Xiu'er was also a little fascinated in her eyes, looked at Ji Ning stupidly, and said, "Why do you always feel comfortable when you listen to Ji Gongzi's words, and inexplicably yearn for the things described by Ji Gongzi?" ”

Her words are asked, not to ask for an answer, she just said what she really wants in her heart, she longs for Ji Ning's two meals and one night a day, and growing old with her beloved's hand, Ji Ning depicts to her a beautiful world that is almost like a fairy tale. Others may talk in front of her, but they are all empty for the sake of performance, empty and substantial, only what Ji Ning said is very plain and simple, which is what she really needs.

Ji Ning smiled: "Maybe it's because Miss Su and Zai Xia yearn for the same peaceful life." ”

"Hmm." Li Xiu'er's face was slightly blushing, her head was slightly chucked, and at the same time as her head was bowed, she couldn't help but secretly peek at Ji Ning with the afterglow of her eyes, wondering if Ji Ning was paying attention to herself, and when she found Ji Ning's burning gaze, she felt even more ashamed, and the beast was lower.

"Ji Gongzi, you haven't commented on the concubine's tea." Li Xiu'er suddenly raised her head very courageously, winked at Ji Ning playfully, and seemed to be stunned.

"Huh? Don't have any reviews below? Ji Ning then remembered that he was just looking for Li Xiu'er's approval, and the tea in his hand had not yet been eaten. It's no wonder that the girl's family is unhappy, people make tea for you to drink, but you are talking off-topic, he hurriedly and solemnly drank a cup of tea, but not as he described before, but first tasted carefully, after tasting the fragrance of tea in his mouth, he raised his neck and drank it, leaving a fragrance on his teeth and cheeks, "Good tea." ”

A simple evaluation is also the most direct affirmation of Li Xiuer, and a smile immediately appeared on Li Xiuer's face. Li Xiu'er said: "It's good that Ji Gongzi likes it, I'm really afraid that Ji Gongzi will not adapt to the tea art of the concubine, so let the concubine pour tea for Ji Gongzi again......"

Li Xiu'er was not busy tasting tea, but was bent on letting Ji Ning drink two more cups, which made Ji Ning a little puzzled, and he said, "Miss Su should also taste it together." ”

"Uh...... This is the tea brewed by the concubine herself, of course, you can drink tea at any time, but I just want Ji Gongzi to drink two more cups and let Ji Gongzi give a few more comments. Only then did Li Xiuer realize that she cared too much about Ji Ning, and it was easy for Ji Ning to "misunderstand".

Ji Ning really misunderstood, he thought for a while and said, "Didn't Miss Su say before that after learning this tea art, even Miss Su herself has not tasted it, and she is the first tea taster?" ”

Li Xiu'er's face was embarrassed, and she said shyly: "Master Ji, can't you pretend to be confused in front of the concubine, don't break the concubine?" ”

Ji Ning was dumbfounded for a while, and the embarrassment in front of Li Xiu'er seemed to be the youngest daughter's family being coquettish to her closest people, not only with the temperament of a young lady, but also with the playfulness and shyness of the youngest daughter's family, as well as a little wisdom. Ji Ning hurriedly lowered his head and reminded himself: "Ji Yongning, what is your identity, what is the identity of Miss Su, even if you have a marriage contract, it doesn't mean that you can be so abrupt and powerless to Miss Su, let alone think about her!" ”

"Ji Gongzi......" Li Xiu'er saw Ji Ning lowering her head, as if muttering something, and called softly in confusion.

Ji Ning tried his best to suppress his appreciation for Li Xiu'er in his heart, raised his head, but he had no choice but to squint his gaze a little, and then in his heart he had some conjectures about this fairy-looking young lady. At the moment, he could only divert the topic and attract Li Xiuer's attention: "I happened to think of something about the tea ceremony, and I wanted to discuss it with Miss Su." ”

Li Xiu'er was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Is Ji Gongzi very proficient in the tea ceremony?" That's great, the concubine has always been very yearning for the tea ceremony, but she can't always find the Fang family to ask for advice, if Ji Gongzi can give a lesson, the concubine body ...... Would be grateful. ”

said that she was grateful, and she didn't say "promise by body", but Li Xiuer still looked a little shy, after all, her daughter's family should be grateful to a man, and they are all unmarried men and women, in fact, the most direct way is to "promise by body". But Ji Ning and Li Xiu'er didn't dare to think about it, Li Xiu'er appeared in front of Ji Ning as "Su Pujia" from the beginning, just to help her good sisters form a good marriage, and there are also coincidences in it, she didn't expect to appreciate and like Ji Ning more and more, and now she often thinks of Ji Ning, thinking of Ji Ning's goodness, and even dreams of Ji Ning at night, occasionally wandering out of the world in her spare time, and all she thinks about in her heart are the bits and pieces of getting along with Ji Ning for a few short times.

Ji Ning felt that he was now just a down-and-out son who came out of the Jinling Wang clan, and was once divorced by the Su family because of indiscretion and status gaps, and now he is not worthy of this "Miss Su" in the show, so he didn't dare to let himself fall into it, lest he end up in love. He also has self-esteem in it, even if he wants to start the pursuit of this "Miss Su", he has to wait until he has a fame, and the status of a person is no longer enough for him, he needs to obtain the fame of Jinshi, so that the Su family can look down on him.

This has formed a very strange atmosphere, obviously two people who have a good impression of each other, but they are trying their best to avoid what they really think in their hearts, Accord trysts, can also respect each other like guests, and even like friends talking, their hearts are full of admiration, and their mouths can't express it.

Ji Ning will know the knowledge of the tea ceremony, specifically said: "Although tea is used to quench thirst, but the habit of drinking tea in the land of China has a long history, the legend of the Han people drinking tea, from the Shennong era, Shennong tasted a hundred herbs, legend Shennong tasted a hundred herbs, after the legend Shennong tasted a hundred herbs, for the poison in the grass stained, dry mouth and body discomfort, there are tea leaves in front of him, after tasting the spirit, hunger and thirst have to be relieved, since then tea has been widely promoted by Shennong, become a necessary drink for the Chinese people. ”

"As for the tea ceremony, it is the best of the gentlemen, not only between drinking tea, the tea can be decocted, or can be brewed with boiling water, there are a lot of exquisiteness. Making tea, appreciating tea, smelling tea, drinking tea, each step has different requirements for the environment, etiquette and mentality, and the most important thing is to be calm, so that you can cultivate yourself in the tea ceremony! The way of drinking tea lies in the state of mind outside the tea, and the artistic conception of the tea itself, which is secondary. ”

As he spoke, Ji Ning lifted the teapot and brewed tea leaves using some of the methods of the tea ceremony in later generations that he knew in his previous life. After the tea brewed by Ji Ning, Li Xiu'er smelled more fragrant, she couldn't help but want to taste the tea brewed by Ji Ning, but taking care of the lady's posture, she had to forcibly endure it, Bei Yan bit her lower lip lightly, until Ji Ning handed the tea to her, she took it and took a small sip, the fragrance made her feel as mellow as spirits.

"It's really good tea." Li Xiu'er couldn't help the beauty in her heart, but she didn't want to say too much, lest Ji Ning think that she was trying to show off her talents.

Ji Ning smiled: "Really? Said that I also want to have a drink. ”
