Hearing that the two old brothers Li Changshan came in person, Liu Ziqiu, who was lying in the warm quilt, hurriedly got up. Liu Ziqiu didn't have a maid by his side, so Mu Duoli didn't care that he was still naked, and she also got up to help him get dressed neatly. The early spring night was still very cold, and although there was a stove in the house, Mu Duoli still had goosebumps all over her body. Liu Ziqiu felt a little pity, patted her two full moons lightly, and said, "Quickly drill into the quilt, don't get caught in the cold." ”

Mu Duoli's face was slightly red, and she whispered: "The slave waits for the master to come back." ”

Liu Ziqiu laughed, turned around and walked out of the room.

The moment the door was opened, a cold wind wrapped in snowflakes came in, Mu Duoli shivered, and hurriedly ran onto the low couch.

……

Seeing Liu Ziqiu come out, Li Changshan and Li Changfeng, the two old brothers, hurriedly arched their hands and said: "The grass people disturbed the adults' rest late at night, sin, sin. ”

Liu Ziqiu waved his hand and said, "The two old gentlemen came in the wind and snow, and Liu failed to meet him from afar, which is the real sin." After saying that, Liu Ziqiu waved his hand again: "Come on, show the two old gentlemen tea." ”

After the opening of the trade route, Liu Ziqiu specially asked people to transport some tea from Jiangnan. His method of making tea is the same as Xie Muyu's, without adding any condiments, just tasting the fragrance of the tea itself. Of course, Liu Ziqiu is not as elegant as Xie Muyu, he drinks tea just to clear the fire, refresh himself, and quench his thirst.

It was Da stunned who helped Li Changshan and Li Changfeng pour tea, a very stout man from the West Sea. Da was stunned with black and thick fingers pinched a few handfuls of tea leaves and put them in the pottery bowl, and then picked up the clay pot on the stove, and the hot water washed down, and the tea fragrance overflowed. But the Li Changshan brothers looked at each other.

Li Changfeng arched his hand and said, "Why don't there be a few maids around Lord Liu?" ”

Last autumn, Liu Ziqiu conquered Longxi, captured and killed Yu Wenhua, Yu Wenzhi and his brothers, and captured the concubines and palace maids in Longxi Palace to Weiding, and the Li family naturally knew about it. But they didn't know that Liu Ziqiu kidnapped the concubines and palace maids, just to prevent leaking the news that Empress Xiao was still alive.

Liu Ziqiu said with a smile: "In the army, how can you take a woman? The conditions were a little rougher, so the two old gentlemen laughed. However, this tea soup is still very delicious, why not give it a try to the two old gentlemen? ”

This guy's face is getting thicker and thicker now, he was still hugging the woman for a while just now, but now he doesn't change color when he says this.

The family is the most exquisite, and the two old gentlemen will never drink this kind of tea made by rough people. Li Changfeng arched his hand and said, "There is a woman in the old carriage who is best at tea ceremony, so it is better to ask her to come down." What does Lord Liu think? ”

Li Changshan was stunned, his brother even brought a woman, why didn't he get a trace of news in advance. However, in front of Liu Ziqiu, he refused to show any difference, and said with a smile: "Lord Liu, although this tea is fragrant, the tea set is not exquisite enough, which is inevitably disappointing." Changfeng should have a high-quality tea set there, so he asked him to show his hand, and hoped that the adults would agree. ”

His words were actually Li Changfeng's army. In his opinion, Li Changfeng took a woman on the road, perhaps to warm his feet, after all, it was snowy outside, and the two old brothers were old, so they were indeed a little offended. But he didn't believe that Li Changfeng would even bring his own tea set when he went out on a long trip, Liu Ziqiu had carried out the Longxi Palace, could he still lack a tea set here? However, Liu Ziqiu used pottery bowls and clay pots, and Li Changshan also borrowed it. It can be seen from this that the struggle within the Li family over the question of who will succeed the third generation has become increasingly fierce.

Liu Ziqiu waved his hand and said with a smile: "Since Mr. Li is a little Yaxing, Liu is better than being respectful." ”

Mrs. Li's brothers came late at night, definitely not to have tea with Liu Ziqiu and talk about Fengyue. But they didn't take the initiative to mention it, and Liu Ziqiu didn't mention it either. What he should say has already been passed on to Longxi, and now he just needs to wait quietly for the Li brothers to give an answer.

"Please wait a moment, Lord Liu." Li Changfeng was overjoyed, arched his hand, got up and walked out of the hall.

After a while, Li Changfeng walked back from outside, followed by a slender girl in a long aqua green dress. The girl lowered her head and couldn't see her face clearly, but she could be taken by Li Changfeng's side, she must be extremely beautiful. The girl entered the hall and said to Li Changshan first: "Mingyue has seen Taigong." ”

Li Changshan was slightly stunned, and suddenly smiled: "It turns out that Mingyue is here, why don't you go and see Lord Liu soon." ”

He had a smile on his face, but his heart sank. This girl is Li Changfeng's own granddaughter, and outside the Li family's mansion that day, Li Changfeng deliberately asked Liu Ziqiu if he had married. Now that he has brought his granddaughter here, his intention is already clear. It's a pity that Li Changshan only has a grandson, but no granddaughter, so he can only be anxious, but he can't find a reason to refute Li Changfeng.

"The folk girl has seen Lord Liu." Li Mingyue bowed to Liu Ziqiu Yingying, and then untied a burden on her body, and untied it in front of Liu Ziqiu, Li Changshan, and Li Changfeng, but there were some tea sets and condiments inside, "Lord Liu, the people's girls are ugly." ”

If it was an ordinary maid, she would definitely be a slave in one bite. Liu Ziqiu heard that this girl called herself a people's girl, and he didn't feel a little strange. Looking at the clothes on her body again, although they are not very gorgeous, they are fine silk, and a bead on the phoenix hairpin on her head is round and shiny, which is a valuable East Pearl. Although she kept lowering her head, so that Liu Ziqiu couldn't see her face clearly, Liu Ziqiu already knew what kind of maid this was, and it was clearly a young lady.

Liu Ziqiu glanced at Li Changfeng thoughtfully, and said with a smile: "Girl, please." ”

Li Mingyue took three celadon tea cups, lined up those jars and jars, and opened the lids one by one, and all kinds of smells suddenly drifted in the hall.

Liu Ziqiu took a closer look, those altars and jars were all fine celadons, not large in size, and they contained oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and all kinds of spices. Of course, as a top family, these spices of the Li family are rare and top-notch. Seeing these things, Liu Ziqiu suddenly laughed: "Girl, you don't need to be so troublesome. Put the tea leaves in a cup and rinse directly into the boiling water. ”

"Ahh Li Mingyue raised her head in surprise, "My lord, is it also called tea brewed like this?" ”

Only then did Liu Ziqiu see her appearance clearly, her facial features were not very exquisite, and her appearance alone was not as good as Gao Xiu'er, Mu Duoli and Tuoba Qianyu, probably between her and Lin Qiao'er, but she had an indescribable temperament, which should be the kind of calmness that is unique to living in a big family.

Seeing Liu Ziqiu staring at his face, Li Mingyue quickly lowered her head. The daughter of a big family like her can't show her face in front of strange men at will before she gets married, but today is her grandfather's order, and she can't disobey it, so she always keeps her head down, which can be regarded as a kind of flexibility. Li Changfeng was snickering in his heart, if he could match Li Mingyue and Liu Ziqiu's family affairs, he would have the greatest help. His grandson Li Bing, that is, Li Mingyue's elder brother, will be Liu Ziqiu's eldest brother in the future. With this relationship, of course, Liu Ziqiu can no longer support Li Jian to compete for the position of the future head of the Li family.

Liu Ziqiu smiled, the expression on his face had recovered his indifference, picked up the bowl of tea brewed by Da stunned just now, sniffed it gently, and said: "Without adding any condiments, what is brewed is the original taste of tea, and it is the real tea." If you don't believe me, girl, will you try it? ”

Thinking of the Li Changfeng brothers' disdain for Da Dunchong's tea, Liu Ziqiu took back the tea bowl and said, "The girl can brew a cup by herself, maybe it tastes better." ”

The utensils used by Li Mingyue at home, all of which were carefully selected, really didn't look down on the stoneware bowl, and after listening to Liu Ziqiu's words, he was relieved, and really picked up a touch of tea and put it in the cup. The girl's fingers are slender and white, and her movements are demure and elegant, and she looks much more pleasing to the eye than the rough goods that Da stunned, no wonder the young girls who perform the tea ceremony in later generations are all young girls, Liu Ziqiu secretly calculated, will he also get a few beautiful girls to train the tea ceremony in the future. He was thinking about it there, but Li Mingyue looked at the big clay pot spewing hot air but was a little embarrassed.

Liu Ziqiu smiled, lifted the clay pot, and a pillar of clear spring rushed into the teacup: "Girl, please use it." ”

Li Mingyue picked up the teacup and took a sip of it, and sure enough, there was a fragrance that went straight to her heart, and she couldn't help blurting out praise: "It's so fragrant." ”

Liu Ziqiu nodded and said, "This is the true taste of tea." Add those condiments, and the original taste of the tea is masked, like, like that. ”

Seeing that Liu Ziqiu couldn't think of what words to use to describe it for a while, Li Mingyue couldn't help but laugh out loud: "It's like painting a snake." ”

Liu Ziqiu nodded and said, "Yes!" It's like adding to the snake! ”

Li Changfeng hurriedly shouted: "Mingyue, don't be rude!" ”

Li Mingyue quietly stuck out her tongue, which showed the innocent appearance of some young girls. However, this look was only fleeting, and Li Mingyue quickly put on the calm and calm appearance of everyone's ladies, and whispered: "Lord Liu, the folk girl used to add no condiments, but there is a bitterness, but it is not as fragrant as this, but why?" ”

Liu Ziqiu praised: "The girl is really careful. Yes, the only reason is that the tea leaves you and I use are different. Liu's tea leaves are fried after finishing and stir-frying, and the original bitterness of the tea has long been removed, which is naturally different. If the girl likes it, Liu can send some tea to the girl. ”

Li Mingyue picked up the tea cup in her hand and tasted it carefully, and it was really different from the tea she usually drank, and she couldn't help but say: "It's better to teach people to fish than to teach people to fish, adults give tea to the people's daughters, and the people's daughters are very grateful, but I don't know if the adults are willing to pass on the method of killing and frying to the people's daughters?" ”

Since Brother Li Changshan didn't talk about business, Liu Ziqiu was also happy to talk about tea ceremony with beauties, and said with a smile: "It's okay for a girl to learn how to fry the whole thing, but it's just ......."
