Chapter 26: Tea in Tea and Tea Outside
"Your third brother ......" behind the words, Li Ran didn't know how to ask.
"It's fine." Wang Ji replied very quickly, "The third brother has a gentle temperament and has few words since he was a child, which is very good." ”
Li Ran looked at Wang Qi, sighed silently, staggered his gaze, and looked at the rockery not far away.
Gentle, few words, this is a tolerant and tolerant character.
The second lady of the Li family, if she is not much different from her sister, is indeed an existence that needs to be tolerated for people like Wang Ji.
"The second master and his wife of the Cao family are in office, two daughters and one son, the eldest daughter is the second grandmother of your house, and the eldest son Cao Zhi is also going to take the imperial examination. The eldest lady of the Sun family married your uncle. ”
Wang Ji paused and looked at Li Ran, who hurriedly shook her head to show that she didn't know any of this.
"Uncle Sun Zhiqiang," Wang Ji paused again and looked at Li Ran, Li Ran nodded, "Sun Qiang, I understand this." ”
"Yes." Wang Ji laughed, "Uncle Sun......" Wang Ji laughed again, "Anyway, the Sun family has never been taboo about these pasts."
Uncle Sun's mother, Mrs. Sun, was deceived into eloping, and Uncle Sun's biological father brought the pregnant Mrs. Sun to the capital, pawned a large car shop in the east of the city to do rough work, took three years of pawn money, and left, and has not been seen since. ”
Li Ran sighed lowly.
At that time, Mrs. Chen was also doing rough work in the big car shop, when Mrs. Sun gave birth, it was Mrs. Chen who delivered her, it was the winter moon, Mrs. Sun often talked about the difficulties of that period: how Mrs. Chen took care of her, why didn't let her hands get cold water for a month, and how the owner of the big car shop took care of her.
Uncle Sun and Hou Li grew up together. When Marquis Li went to the army from the emperor's side, Uncle Sun defected to Marquis Li's side.
The three mothers of the Sun family, Sun Miaoniang, are the best friends with the three ladies in your house. ”
"Just now you said that Miao Niang's car has arrived, is this Sun Miao Niang?" Li Ran listened with relish.
Sure enough, at the beginning of the founding of the country, every dignitary was a living legend.
"Yes. Coming today, there is also Gao Guiying, the second lady of the Zhongyi Bo Gao family, who is seventeen this year, and is also very good with the third lady in your house.
Uncle Gao is Li Houye, who went to defect with Uncle Sun, and joined the army and the dragon.
In the past, compared with the Li family and the Sun family, the Gao family was slightly wealthier, Uncle Gao and Hou Ye Li were very close, and the old lady and lady of the Gao family, and Mrs. Chen's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were not so close. ”
"Is there anyone else here today?" Li Ran asked with a smile.
"Something else, it's Huo Sanniang. The old lady in this house is a very shrewd and cautious person, and she must rather invite less than more. ”
"It's hard for everyone." Li Ran sighed.
Wang raised his eyebrows, and after a moment, he laughed, "The girl is really, obviously it is all related to the girl, but when the girl listens to it, it seems that she is listening to some irrelevant old words of others." ”
Li Ran laughed, she really thought it was all interesting old tales.
"Do you know that Mrs. Chen is picking on your mother-in-law's house?"
Li Ran's attitude gave Wang Ji a refreshing feeling that he could talk to her unscrupulously.
Li Ran shook her head.
Wang Jian looked at her, "You're not worried?" ”
"What is there to worry about? It's not something she can do. Li Ran spread his hands and said.
Wang Qiwan laughed, "No, the girl is really smart. Weng Weng is still worried, he specially explained to me yesterday, let me tell you, don't worry, don't pay attention. ”
Li Ran wanted to ask a few more words, but the words came to his mouth and swallowed again.
She didn't know the severity, and if she asked what she shouldn't ask, it would be a problem for the king. That's not good.
It's not a big deal anyway, so don't ask.
Wang Ji looked at Li Ran slightly, hesitated for a moment, and subconsciously lowered his voice and smiled: "The grandmother is worried about you, so I asked A-Niang to ask General Xie quietly, A-Niang said, General Xie said that you are very comfortable."
The wife shed tears, saying that now she can be very comfortable on a day like this, but in the past, I didn't know how hard the girl was, and my mother persuaded her for a long time. ”
"I wasn't bitter before, I was such a character, I didn't care much about other people's affairs, and I didn't care about external affairs." Li Ran said in a low voice.
"Well, I can see that, that's what I told my wife."
"Who is General Xie?" Li Ran asked.
"It's my cousin, and my aunt is General Xie's aunt." Wang Ji's words paused slightly, and he laughed, "Girl's words, you shouldn't answer like this." General Xie has a single name, a Ze character, and is the deputy envoy in front of the palace, and also leads the prince's personal guard.
You should know that someone must be watching you, no matter who is watching you, they will definitely not be able to get around General Xie, so the wife asked A-Niang to ask General Xie. ”
Li Ran snorted, smiled faintly, and said in a low voice with Wang Qi: "It's because someone must be watching me, so I can walk around, don't worry." ”
Wang Yi was stunned, and then burst out laughing, "The girl is really ...... When we arrived, the plum forest in front of us was counted in the capital, and the tea banquet of the three ladies and the fourth lady was set up in that warm pavilion. ”
Li Ran and Wang Ji were talking and wandering, walking very slowly, and the other little ladies had their own reasons, and they all arrived earlier than usual.
Compared with the last time, this time, at least everyone didn't gather in a semicircle to watch Li Ran.
Cao Sanniang and Cao Siniang saw Wang Ji and Li Ran, and hurriedly greeted them one after the other.
Mrs. Huo also followed behind and stepped forward.
The third lady, Li Qingrou, stood in the middle of the warm pavilion, pouting slightly, and squinting at Li Ran, who was smiling.
Sun Miaoniang, the third lady of Zhongyong Bofu, and Gao Guiying, the second lady of Zhongyi Bofu, stood on both sides of Li Qingrou on left and right, one pouted with an indignant face, and the other glanced at Li Ran with a little resentment and disdain.
Huo Sanniang held Wang Qi, Cao Siniang smiled and dingdong, and Cao Sanniang let Li Ran into the warm pavilion with one left and one right, and sat down at the end of the long tea banquet.
The long and wide tea banquet is very carefully arranged, and the flower arrangement should not be noisy, and the middle row of plum blossoms is tall and vigorous, crowded and crowded next to each other, blocking Li Ran's sight, and also blocking the sight of Li Qingrou who is sitting at the other end of the tea ceremony.
However, maybe the tea ceremony here is just going to be so colorful.
She didn't know what it was like to set up a tea party here.
Li Ran smiled and looked out the window.
She's in a good mood today.
Wang Ji sat on Li Ran's left side, the third lady Huo Qinglin sat on Li Ran's right side, Cao Sanniang and Cao Siniang next to Wang Ji and Huo Qinglin, next to the two, Sun Miaoniang and Gao Guiying respectively.
Wang Ji looked at the smile on the corner of Li Ran's mouth, lowered his eyes, and also pursed his lips and laughed.
This girl is very smart.
As soon as she sat down, Huo Qinglin took a purse from the girl's hand and handed it to Li Ran, "I got a fresh purse before, thinking that you might like it, can you take a look?" ”
Li Ran took the purse in surprise, "Thank you, it's so beautiful, I like it very much." ”
This gift was only brought by her, and it was only given to her, and it seems that it was specially given to her.
Why? Think you didn't have a good reception last time? A tactful apology?
But her brother had already apologized and sent her back.
In line with the principle that many people are not to blame, accompany the ceremony again?
Is it possible to be such an embarrassing person as her?
She was the one who wouldn't even call her a girl.
Interesting.
"Sister Rou is so good to you, you got good things, but you only think about others, hum." Sun Miaoniang said Huo Wenlin, but her eyes glared at Li Ran.
"I saw that Ah Ran didn't have such a thing, and when I saw a good one outside, I brought one for her. This is a purse bought outside, the third sister never uses the purse outside or anything, the third sister, I'm not mistaken, right? Huo Wenlin leaned back, looked at Li Qingrou from behind everyone and said with a smile.
"Do you use things from outside? Who knows whose hand has touched it, it is dirty and smelly. ”
Li Qingrou's voice is not very peaceful, she hates to go out with this unknown and annoying so-called Li family girl, and she hates everyone surrounding her, and she pays more attention and enthusiasm to her than to herself.
"There are also good things outside, how fine the sachets of Linglong Fang are, those embroiderers in our family can't do it, what about your family? Can it be made? ”
Cao Siniang usually doesn't like Li Qingrou very much, and when she said that the purse sent by Huo Wenlin was dirty and smelly, she was not very happy.
Li Ran pinched the purse and looked at the few people who came and went, her eyebrows raised slightly.
These little girls, who are so young, are so good at talking and quarrelling, you come and go back and forth, all of them are dark arrows, and they are powerful.
Wang Ji kept looking at Li Ran, and saw that her eyebrows were slightly raised, and she was quite interested, and seemed to have a look of admiration, and she wanted to laugh inexplicably.
This girl's open-mindedness is really rare.
"This plum blossom is so fragrant, and the tea is so good, you guys are on the purse sachet." Wang Ji smiled, took Cao Siniang's words and said with a smile: "Speaking of sachets, I almost forgot, Fourth Sister, can someone collect some of your white plum blossoms for me, I will use it for tea." I thought about it last year. ”
"Yes, I want some too, but I want green plum blossoms, I think the fragrance of green plum is the best." Huo Wenlin hurriedly laughed.
Li Ran leaned back in the chair, looked at Wang Qi, and then looked at Huo Wenlin, these two little girls are masters of the mud.
This Mrs. Huo is much more sensible than the first three together.
Well, much better than her brother.
"I've already thought that from the first plum blossom blooming, people will be able to harvest the stamens, and there will be them." Cao Sanniang hurriedly took over the words, and leaned over and smiled with Li Qingrou: "Third sister, what about you?" Shall I make the tea for you, or will you try it yourself? ”
"Today's tea, I and my third sister use red plum stamen and green plum stamen, this year's white plum blossoms bloom late, and I haven't had time to kiln yet. I think this year's kiln is very good, everyone must try it. Cao Siniang realized her identity as the master of the family at this time, and was busy following the third sister and the mud.
A few girls stepped forward to make tea and pour tea.
Li Ran picked up the tea, and looked at this cup of tea that had to be made of red plums, green plums, and white plum blossoms, and the six or seven little girls at this table, only admiration.
It's been a very delicate day! This talk is powerful!
The tea tasting here is also about quietly and slowly tasting.
Li Ran was engrossed in the teacup in her hand, the fragrance of plum blossoms, she really smelled a little bit, but the difference between the red plum blossoms and the green plum blossoms, after five or six rounds of tea, she still didn't have half a direction.
Forget it, don't be difficult for yourself, I'm a vulgar person, and it's amazing to be able to smell a little plum blossom fragrance.
