The Jiang family's dishes and tea were tasted one by one, and when Xinyue looked at it, it was indeed time to go back, otherwise after a while, the bazaar in the West Market would be dispersed, and Xinyue would stand up and say goodbye.

As soon as Mrs. Zhuang heard that the new moon was leaving, she said to the people around her, "Go, find the second master, and send a new moon." ”

The new moon has not been postponed, I am afraid that it will be postponed, and there will be a waste of time, so it is better to follow the arrangement.

Jiang Yang got the news, Rong Ying was also saying goodbye, he glanced at Jiang Yang with a straight face, Jiang Yang didn't know why, he always felt that this Highness was a little hostile to him, but when he wanted to ask for a certificate, there was no gap.

He knew that the crescent moon was waiting for him, so he didn't delay any longer, and walked to the back house, but just when he walked to the main road, he met the crescent moon coming from the backyard, and she was followed by two maids, she was walking while sorting out the clothes and belts on her body, and it seemed that she was in a hurry.

The two met, and the crescent moon saluted "I'm tired of the general." ”

"I'm sorry to trouble you, let's go, I'll send you home." As he spoke, Jiang Yang asked people to bring his horse.

Xinyue shook her head, "The little girl doesn't go home first. I heard that there was a market in the West Market, and this was the last big market of the year, and I wanted to go and buy something. ”

"Do you need to go to these trivial matters in person?" Jiang Yang asked puzzled.

Xinyue shook her head and said with a smile, "I'm not afraid of the general's jokes, it's just that the little girl likes to go shopping on the street." ”

"Then I'll go with you" Jiang Yang looked at Xinyue's snow-white face, the smile like a little red plum, he was a little stupid for a while, and then realized that he had overstepped his rules, and explained, "Today's market in the West Market is different from other times, it is the most crowded and busiest time, and there are few people fishing in troubled waters, you are a woman, and there are no guards around, it is not good if something happens." Besides, aren't we going to run horses? I'll go pick out some protective gear for you personally. ”

Saying that, Jiang Yang walked forward without refusal, and the new moon didn't know why, but since Jiang Yang said that he was going together, he didn't seem to have any reason to refuse, so the two walked out of Jiang Mansion one after the other.

When he arrived at the door, Xinyue saw that Jiang Yang's face was flushed, because he had drunk, so Xinyue persuaded him, "General, don't ride a horse after drinking, as you said, there are many people in Xishi, and the New Year is coming soon, so don't have anything wrong." ”

After Jiang Yang heard this, he nodded, "Ah Chi, prepare a horse for me..."

Xinyue took a step back, revealing the carriage behind him, Jiang Yang frowned, and then nodded without refusal.

As soon as the two left, the maid who had been watching the news from the side immediately passed the news in, and when Mrs. Zhuang heard it, she stood up from the chair with a smile, "Okay, okay." ”

"Mother, be careful, what should you do if you stand so fast and get dizzy." Chen helped Mrs. Zhuang and slowly sat back in her original position.

"I didn't even see that our Yang'er is such a considerate person, personally sending people back, I thought he would come back when he arrived at the door. That girl is also a good one, knowing how to persuade Yang'er, the two are really, very compatible. "Mrs. Li and Mrs. Zhuang have had a good relationship for many years, she has been watching Mrs. Zhuang have gray hair because of Jiang Yang's marriage, and she is also very anxious, but she didn't expect that this time it would be so smooth.

"Yes, yes. As long as there is a national funeral on the first day of next summer, I will definitely let the two get married immediately. Old Madam Zhuang announced loudly.

"I don't know if the two grandmothers, do the aunts and sisters-in-law know such a thing?" Chai Bijun, who was saying goodbye, suddenly spoke.

"Lord Cheshire, you're still here, I don't know what you have to teach you?" Old Madam Li didn't like this cold-faced Cheshire Lord very much, she thought to herself, I'm afraid that no man would like such a cold and hard character.

"But just now Grandmother Zhuang talked about the national funeral, the little girl often walks around her aunt, I heard that before the prince went on the expedition, he discussed with his aunt, and after returning from victory, he welcomed Xu Hounu as a side concubine, who knew that such a thing would happen. At that time, Xu Hounu was very sad, and offended the princess Niangniang between her words, which made the originally unstable Niangniang want to fork the road. ”

"To speak like this, it is evidence-oriented. It is said that you, Lord of Cheshire, are cold and noble, and you will definitely not talk about things without a shadow here. "Xiao Li liked Xinyue from the first sight, and she did it without hesitation to protect her.

"Yes, in the end, the little girl is young, and after listening to the personal maid next to the crown princess, she was ordered to be killed by the queen mother because she could not testify against Xu Hounu, so I guessed that the little girl was wrong." Chai Bijun saw that what he was going to say had already been conveyed, and as for whether they believed it or not, the suspicion had already been built anyway.

"Lord Cheshire, if you are a year older than the little woman and me, you will be two decades old in the next year, and you will not be young after all. Please also ask Lord Cheshire to act safely in the future, and don't lose the face of your Chai family. After Zhou Huan finished speaking, Qiu, who loved to talk and laugh, smiled and said to the people around him, "Quick, send Lord Cheshire out." ”

"The little girl quit." The Cheshire Lord was so angry that her face was full of anger, she was still rarely like this, and she did this kind of provocative thing in person, and she couldn't resist it in a few words, why bother There were still two old ladies sitting in the middle who were already old goblins.

As soon as the Lord of Cheshire left, Mrs. Li couldn't help but say, "I really don't know who this scourge will go to in the future, and I think it is too high with a cold face, but it is also a young man who can't hold his breath." As she spoke, Mrs. Li patted her skirt with a handkerchief a little unlucky.

"This matter..."Mrs. Zhuang was born into a family, and she was more sensitive to this kind of thing than Mrs. Li, and after a pause, she looked at her eldest daughter-in-law, and after Chen saw it, she breathed a sigh of relief, and said to her mother-in-law, "Mother, you also said on that day's birthday, as long as Brother Yang can marry a wife, you are willing to do anything." You are the first to pay attention to this Xu Hou girl than me, what kind of temperament is she, but others can erase it with just a few words. Also, she was originally the person the prince wanted, none of us know, the queen mother told you that she was originally going to be married to His Royal Highness the prince. ”

"Yes, auntie. The nephew and daughter-in-law said something disrespectful, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has passed away, and the marriage between the two is not a certainty, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has no possibility of coming back to life to marry her. Moreover, she was originally a concubine, the life of the mother, willing to get along well with our Yang'er, she can also be pragmatic and kind-hearted, we should treat others well. If the aunt feels reluctant, then the nephew and daughter-in-law will make the decision, and then set a marriage for the new moon girl. ”

"You mean, Li Jun?" Old Madam Li immediately knew who Xiao Li was talking about.

"Yes, it's my nephew's nephew, he didn't go well in the exam a few years ago, and his father was afraid of delaying his studies, so he didn't say goodbye to him. In the autumn of this year, he won the twelfth place in the first list in one fell swoop, and he just waited for the New Year to enter the court as an official. ”

"That's a little boy who hasn't been married yet." Old Madam Li said and laughed.

"That's not good, the new moon is set by me, our family, you Li family don't even think about it." Old Madam Zhuang still couldn't hold back the excitement, and immediately said loudly to the Li family and the little Li family.

"Then it's up to you, Mother, to decide. Now Brother Yang is also willing to contact Xinyue and personally escort people back, if you have other ideas, don't blame your sister-in-law for thinking about her nephew. What a good girl Xinyue is, the grandson of the prime minister, the eldest son of Cao Caosi, is also extremely compatible. The Chen family also helped, so Mrs. Zhuang's suspicion was suppressed.

Chai Bijun came out of the main hall of the backyard, and as soon as he stepped out of the door, he saw Rong Ying walking fast in front of him, and the mother holding the child behind him was also very difficult, and he couldn't follow him.

I saw him hurriedly come out of the side door, and without waiting for his grandmother to follow, he turned his head and explained a few words, and rode away.

Chai Bijun looked at the back of him riding away, and her heart sank more and more, she liked Rong Ying since she was a child. Maybe Rong Ying and everyone didn't know about it, but in order to marry Rong Ying, she even refused the position of crown princess.

His thoughts flew so far, Chai Bijun thought of the first time he saw Rong Ying, which was when he was ten years old and when Rong Ying returned to Beijing to meet His Majesty for the first time.

It was also such a very cold day, he looked haggard and wore a plain clothes, and later she knew that it was his mother's death day, even if it was the first time he saw His Majesty, he would not change his stubbornness, and he had to see it like this.

At a glance, she fell in love with Rong Ying, who was so stubborn and had the courage to bear all this, although he has changed a lot over the years, but how has he changed, he is still the Rong Ying who dares to do it.

Sure enough, His Majesty was furious, and even his aunt, the Queen Mother, scolded him for being disloyal and unfilial, and for not distinguishing between good and evil.

Rong Ying knelt in the middle of the palace banquet, looked up at the two people on the main seat, so unwilling to give in, he seemed to be in poor health, he coughed when the wind blew, at this time he was the same age as himself, but he was still a little girl-like crescent, brought him winter pear soup to drink, knelt with him, and whispered something to him. She was not afraid at all, she was not afraid of being scolded by His Majesty and the Empress, and reached out to touch Rong Ying's forehead, and said to the upper two, "Uncle, aunt, cousin's head is so hot." ”

She just relieved Rong Ying like this, and forgot about it all afterwards, Xu Xinyue is like this, she always quietly does something, attractive, praised, and shining things, but these things seem to be unwilling, she is so helpless, pretending that she is very innocent.

Thinking of this, Chai Bijun laughed at herself, if you don't want these lights, then give it to yourself, she really is, desperate.

When he came back to his senses, Rong Ying had already walked away, and even Xiao Shizi was already sitting in the carriage, Chai Bijun recalled how he felt when he held the child.

He was so small, his body was soft, and he lay quietly on top of him, but even that child was attracted to Xu Xinyue, and everyone was attracted to her.

Your Majesty, the Queen Mother, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the Jiang family here, and even my aunt, all like her very much.

But these people, Chai Bijun doesn't care, as long as that person, as long as that person is not attracted to her, it is enough.

When the prince chose the crown princess, she went to ask Yu He to give him a life that was not suitable for marrying the prince, and Yu He laughed at her for being stupid at that time, but he still fulfilled himself, and now it seems that he is not stupid at all.

If she became the crown princess, she would be lying in that cold coffin now, accompanying her husband who didn't love her all her life.

It's just that she is not as cowardly as the Wang family, just a few words, she was angry, but she failed to kill Xu Xinyue, who hurt herself, with one sword, and she also lost her life.

She must become Rong Ying's wife, become the woman who accompanies him to look at the world, a queen who is enough to defeat Empress Taizu Zhang, after all, the daughter of their Chai family, since she was born, is to be a queen.

Xinyue was a little thirsty, just wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, and Feng'er immediately poured a glass of water for her, Xinyue took it, took a few sips, and felt moist in her throat.

Feng'er also poured a cup for Jiang Yang, and when Xinyue saw that he drank wine, he must have a dry mouth, and sure enough, Jiang Yang took it, put the tea in the cup, and drank a fine light, "Good tea, it is actually an orchid fragrance that fills the throat, and it is very clear." ”

Xinyue smiled, knowing that he was a person who understood tea, so he patiently explained, "This is Tieguanyin, from Anxian County, the entire Dasheng, and only this small county has this kind of tea tree." It was a wild tree growing on the side of the road, and the local tea farmers felt that it took up space and had loose branches and leaves, so they were ready to cut it, but a local shepherd advised the tea farmers not to cut it, because their own sheep had to come and eat some of these leaves after a long detour. So the tea farmer picked some, went home to fry, who knew that the son of the fried tea was greedy to play, fried the tea leaves to half dry, and went out to play, and so the next day, the tea farmer wanted to taste the tea, so he brewed some, only to feel that this tea comes with orchid, brew six or seven times still have the fragrance, and one time softer than the other, so far, it has become this strange tea. ”

"There is such a strange thing" Saying that, Jiang Yang took another sip, and Feng'er gave him a new tea, and sure enough, as Xinyue said, the taste was soft and with a strong orchid fragrance.

"Since the general likes it, then today, I will buy some for the general, and it just so happens that I don't have it at home, and the general drinks this is the last pot." As she spoke, Xinyue handed her cup to Feng'er, who had just put away the teacup when the carriage stopped, and the coachman replied, "Girl, Anyun Tea House has arrived." ”

"Okay" said, Xinyue turned her face to Jiang Yang and said, "I'll be in Xishi soon, please wait a while, I'll go to the tea house and get the tea I ordered and come back." ”

"Just do it, your maid and maid will do it." Jiang Yang frowned, not knowing why Xinyue wanted to do it herself.

When Feng'er heard this, she smiled and said, "The general doesn't know anything, our girl just doesn't worry about us, and is afraid that the boss will fool us and give us tea, so I will order it in person and come to get it in person." ”

"The general waits, I'll come when I go." Saying that, Xinyue got out of the carriage, but Jiang Yang followed, "Wait in the car, it's very boring, I'll accompany you in to have a look, and you can also pick out if there is a tea suitable for this general." ”

When Xinyue heard this, she became interested, "Oh, the general is also a tea lover." ”

"Not really, it's just that I'm not used to drinking the frosted tea that is not sweet or light."

Xinyue smiled: "The little girl is too." ”

The two walked into the tea house side by side, the shopkeeper of the tea house and the new moon are old acquaintances, and they are settling accounts behind the stage. Madame came. ”

Xinyue saw that he was awkward, so she introduced, "Shopkeeper Wang, this is General Jiang Yangjiang, I am here to get the tea I ordered today, you can make a pot, and then pick a few teas with a clear taste and send them, there must be a taste of red jade tea." ”

"Yes, Miss Xu, General Jiang, please inside." With that, the shopkeeper personally led the two to the private room in the back hall.

In a moment, the clever work came in with a large tray, which was full of tea cups, and what was placed in Xinyue's hand was her newly ordered Tieguanyin.

Xinyue put her cup beside Jiang Yang, "Taste it, is it the taste just now." ”

Jiang Yang didn't know, so "You can taste your tea yourself." ”

"One cup per person" work, and another new moon has a cup.

The two of them didn't postpone it anymore, Xinyue picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea with only two sips in it, frowned and asked, "How many dishes have you brewed?" ”

"The last time the girl came, she said that she made a three-to-two cup of tea, how to drink it is a good tea, it is better to see what it tastes like at the end, the girl in the cup is the fifth, and the fourth in the cup of this master, what do you think?"

"I said how can it be lighter than the last time, what does the general think?"

Jiang Yang nodded, "If you talk about the fragrance, it is stronger than the cup in your carriage." ”

Seeing that he really understood, Xinyue nodded, "That's it." ”

"Yes" the work is very happy, the subordinates do not stop, and the two of them have a new tea" two, this is Dongting Biluochun, this year the place has enough rain, the fragrance is lighter, but the tea taste is clear, taste. ”

Xinyue pursed her lips, let the orchid fragrance in her mouth fade, and then picked up the cup, sure enough, the tea fragrance was lightened on the tip of her nose, but the taste was indeed not bad at all.

"This tea also has a refreshing umami taste, if it is greasy to eat during the New Year, this cup is enough to relieve the greasy."

"Then this one is also wrapped, and there are two copies, one for Mrs. Li and one for Mrs. Zhuang."

"You don't have to break the bank, wrap it up."

Xinyue knew that Jiang Yang had an unspeakable and difficult to refuse, so she didn't insist anymore.

"The last course, the red jade tea that the girl specially explained, this year's tea is less, and now there is only one pound left for the girl, and the girl has to choose it quickly." After drinking a few more, except for one of the silver tips Jiang Yang thought it was not bad, he didn't like the others very much.

Xinyue rinsed her mouth, she drank green tea and cabbage just now, and this time she wants to drink thick black tea, so naturally she should have no miscellaneous taste in her mouth. Jiang Yang learned from her and rinsed his mouth.

The two took a sip of red jade tea at the same time, and Xinyue peeked at Jiang Yang's expression and knew that he would like it. This tea is fragrant and has an endless aftertaste, it seems to have a floral fragrance, but it is richer than the floral fragrance, and the color of the tea is like a piece of red jade.

"Just this one?" Crescent tried to ask.

Jiang Yang didn't object, but he couldn't tell whether he liked it or didn't like it, he just nodded and said to the job, "Pick it up"

"Yes, thank you for your patronage." In this way, all the tea, the two of them tasted it, and they packed up their things and left.

Seeing that his face was not very good, Xinyue tried to ask, "General, is there anything wrong with the tea?" ”

Jiang Yang frowned, was silent for a moment, and said, "That red jade tea, there is blood that blurs the color of the eyes. ”

When Xinyue heard this, she frowned, knowing that Jiang Yang had touched his memories on the battlefield, so she was unhappy, so she felt guilty in her heart, and after thinking about it, she said to Jiang Yang, "General, this Tieguanyin has an allusion to Tieguanyin, do you know the origin of this red jade tea?" ”

"And where did it come from?" Jiang Yang's interest was not high.

Crescent Moon nodded, "Naturally, this is a love story that we women like." ”

"Let's hear it" Jiang Yang saw that Xinyue was trying to make herself happy, and couldn't bear to refute her.

"It is said that somewhere, there is a Xiucai, he is a young master of a rich family, and all the tea gardens in the village belong to theirs. But he is not a gentleman, he studies hard, and he also knows how to do business. In order to study with peace of mind, he built a house on the top of a tea plantation, where he studied every day, and did not let anyone come so as not to be disturbed. As for the family, worried about his safety, they asked a tea picker to go to the tea tree in front of his yard every day to pick tea. ”

"The young master's family definitely disagreed, and broke them up."

"No, the young master's family is very happy, because if the young master marries a tea picker, he can stay in his hometown to do business, and he doesn't want to take any fame exams."

"There are parents in the world who don't let their sons take scientific exams?"

"Maybe Aiko is heartbroken. But what about that Xiucai, who was bent on making a contribution, and was unwilling to part with the tea picker, he also married the tea picker. When he went to Beijing for the scientific examination, he gave the newlywed Yan'er's wife a piece of red jade, and he told his wife that if I don't return for three years, my wife can pawn this red jade and remarry someone else. Sure enough, three years later, that Xiucai did not go back, his wife kept waiting, waiting, and buried this red jade under a new tea tree, she carefully irrigated and served every day, and did not remarry until she died, and did not wait for Xiucai to come back. ”

"That Xiucai must be an ungrateful person. It was arranged at the beginning, and it would not come back, so it was given the expensive red jade. Unexpectedly, Jiang Yang was really attracted by this question.

Xinyue shook her head, "That Xiucai didn't go to Beijing to take the exam at all, he had tuberculosis, his life was short, and his parents were old, so he couldn't shelter his wife." So he thought of this way to make his wife think that he had abandoned him, so that she would remarry someone else. But the wife saw through everything, and while obeying her husband's arrangement and letting him go with peace of mind, she kept the agreement that the two would grow old together for a lifetime. It is said that this red jade tea is from that tea tree, and every drop of red jade tea is the red wax that the two people lit when they got married, and every cup is the red jade of the two people's family tokens. So this tea, the taste is strong, with a floral fragrance, when I first drank this tea, it was His Royal Highness who said to me, saying that this tea is the taste in the heart of a person who loves another person. If the general is as colored as blood, it is also, and the taste in his heart is not the blood of his heart? ”

When Jiang Yang heard this, he couldn't help but think of his deceased wife, the woman who refused to bow her head very strongly, what she felt in her heart, and she didn't know what to do?

"Let's have another drink," said Crescent Moon as he asked the man to pour another glass for the two of them.

This time, Jiang Yang picked up the cup and said, "Salute that lady." ”

The crescent moon has a way to learn, "Respect that talent." ”
