Chapter 33: Out of the House

When the afternoon dawned, the stomachs of the three began to roar rhythmically, and Hongling waved her hand and said, "Let's go to the Purple Building." Zilou is the largest restaurant in the capital, and it is also the most prosperous place on this street, although it is on one street, but there are obviously more dignitaries and nobles coming and going here than in other places, and there are many chic small shops around, and the three of them went around these small shops for a morning.

"Ladies and gentlemen, what do you want?"

"Let's just have two or three of your signature dishes here."

"The tea in our store has excellent Longjing, Oolong and Pu'er...... I wonder what the guest officer wants? ”

"Dragon Well Bar"

After ordering, Hongling leaned on the seat and said slowly: "I haven't been so relaxed for a long time", Xiuxiu saw Hongling's deep appearance, as if she had gone through a few vicissitudes, and couldn't help but say: "I may not have been so relaxed for a long time."

Seeing the two of them so relaxed and emotional, Xiaoqing said leisurely: "It's a pity, I'm going back after eating, alas, ......."

Hongling turned her head and glanced at Xiaoqing helplessly, touched Xiuxiu's hand, and asked, "Have you been by the prince's side before?" Xiuxiu nodded slightly, and Hongling asked again: "How long have you been with him?" But do you still have family? ”。

Xiuxiu bit her lower lip lightly, and said sadly: "I am an orphan, fortunately I was rescued by the prince, so I can survive, I want to have been by the prince's side for more than ten years", Hongling was moved, so she hugged Xiuxiu into her arms, and said slowly: "In the future, you will be the same as Xiaoqing, as long as you are willing, we are all your relatives."

Xiuxiu's body couldn't help but stiffen, relatives, I have long forgotten what my relatives are like, I only vaguely remember the vague outline of my father and mother, the love of my relatives, so far away from me.

Xiaoqing saw that Xiuxiu's eyes were gradually filled with crystal tears, and she gently brushed it away with her upper hand, and said, "Xiuxiu, don't be sad, we will accompany you in the future."

......

Back in the small courtyard of the palace, Hongling was full of energy and asked Xiuxiu to set the tea set on the table in the hall.

"Xiuxiu, Xiaoqing, you haven't drunk the tea I brewed", I saw Hongling carefully stacking the tea packed from the Purple House on the table.

Xiuxiu was puzzled: "Niangniang, why did you suddenly remember to make tea?" ”

Xiaoqing was surprised, and replied for Hongling: "Xiuxiu, you don't know, although Miss has many talents, she is even more interested in tea. Today's tea in the purple building is very suitable for the mouth of the young lady, and the young lady brought the tea back, and it is estimated that it is also very itchy."

Hong Ling smiled slightly, Jiang Ling'er was so good at making tea, I thought it was because I learned things quickly, it seems that I inherited her genes to make it so good, but I made tea this time, not because of any itching skills......

"Is it good?"

"It's delicious, the tea made by the mother is very sweet"

"You say, if I dedicate this tea to Father-in-law Xu, will Father-in-law Xu be happy?" ”

Xiuxiu suddenly, "I'll go and prepare a set of tea sets, and bring them with me later, Father-in-law Xu will definitely not be too embarrassed after drinking Niangniang's tea."

With a weird smile, Hong Ling turned the teacup with one hand, knocked the table slightly with the other, slowly raised her head and stretched her slender neck, looking up at the clouds, which was very comfortable.

After Xiuxiu and the others packed up the portable tea set, Hongling slowly collected her gaze and said, "Let's go", then stood up from the cushion, flicked her sleeves, and strode out of the hall.

There was still more than half an hour before Gonggong Xu came to teach, but Hong Ling had already come to the prince's palace, seeing Chen Jinye looking at him so suspiciously, Hong Ling smiled playfully and said, "Your Royal Highness the prince, you haven't drunk the tea made by the concubine."

As he spoke, the servants placed the tea sets on the table one by one.

Chen Jinye held his chin and looked at the scene in front of him, and asked, "Ling'er is so interested today, but what are the new tricks?" ”

Hong Ling blinked a few times, full of innocence and said: "There are no new tricks, I just want to come earlier, make a pot of high-quality tea for Grandpa Xu, and please him."

After that, Hongling lifted her skirt and sat on the mat, gently held the sleeve with one hand, slowly picked up the kettle with the other, and slowly poured it on the tea set in a circle, and for a while, the heat rose up. With Luo Pa pinching the lid of the pot, the tea leaves in the tea tube were turned upside down a little, and then the boiling water was slowly poured on it, and in an instant, the tea fragrance overflowed......

In the midst of the smoke and clouds, Hongling was like a naughty elf, swinging the teapot up and down into the cup, before stopping everything in her hand, raised her head slightly and whispered softly: "Do you want to taste it?" ”。

Chen Jinye raised his eyes and looked at Hongling, reached out and took the teacup to play, and said, "It seems that there is no reason to refuse."

Hongling smiled slightly, poured a glass for herself, took a sip, and nodded slowly: "Not bad, it's the taste."

Chen Jinye raised his eyebrows slightly, and also tasted it, only to feel that the tea was fragrant for a long time, sweet and refreshing, and he couldn't let go of it for a long time, and couldn't help but praise: "Ling'er is really good at craftsmanship"

Hongling smiled faintly, raised her eyes and looked at the door, hoping that Father-in-law Xu would arrive soon. Seeing this, Chen Jinye filled another cup for himself and drank it alone.

This tea is indeed not bad, if you can go to Feifei at this time to ask for a plate of pastries to eat, wouldn't you be happy? Thinking about it in my heart, I remembered that I hadn't been to see Feifei for two days, and I wondered if Feifei also missed herself like this. Thinking about it, Chen Jinye seemed to have a warm smile on his face.

In the middle of the night, Gonggong Xu slowly stepped into the hall with paces, and Hongling saw that she hurriedly got up and saluted, not daring to make a difference, as if she had been educated and obedient. Seeing that she was moving briskly and acting quickly, Xu Gonggong couldn't help but wonder in his heart, he had clearly used a lot of strength, how could she still be so vigorous, not at all like she should have taken his course, and he couldn't help but grit his teeth when he thought about it.

"Father-in-law Xu, Ling'er personally selected the top-grade tea leaves today and brewed a pot for her father-in-law," she said, Hongling turned around and poured a cup of tea in one go, and slowly picked it up and turned it back to salute, "Please taste it!" ”。

Father-in-law Xu had no intention of making this tea, but the guest was the prince, if he didn't give face, he was afraid of falling into the truth, so he reluctantly took it, and pretended to say: "Well~ Niangniang's tea is good", and drank it all.

Since Gonggong Xu entered this hall, Chen Jinye thought to himself that he was drinking tea here today and watching, this Gonggong Xu shouldn't be too much, but he really saw it, when Hongling turned around to pour tea just now, he clearly flicked something into the teacup, and even at the moment when he picked up the teacup and was about to turn around, he squeezed his eyebrows and winked at him. Now seeing that Father-in-law Xu drank all the tea, Hongling smiled even more on her face, so she found a few more excuses and handed the tea to Father-in-law Xu several times in a row.

Chen Jinye's heart was curious, and he leisurely put on a posture to watch the play, and he didn't help or stop it, he looked like an outsider.
