Chapter 121: Tea Tasting and Viewing the Scenery
Raise your eyes and see, the two-storey building in front of you is very Beijing-style, and the roof ridge on the roof of the building is carved and engraved on the beams, which is a luxurious and complicated scene. If it weren't for the words "Xiyuan Teahouse" on the main entrance, the prince would have thought that he was going to a restaurant in the capital.
"Is the county lord here to buy tea? Or come here for a cup of tea? He saw Kang Yufei walking in quickly, and he took a bigger step to catch up and asked.
"Buy tea." Kang Yufei lifted the hem of her skirt and stepped into the door.
The prince doesn't understand, does the eldest lady of the Hou Mansion want to do these things personally? When I entered the door, I saw that the shelves on one wall were full of all kinds of rare and famous teas, and even in the most eye-catching position, there were two cans of carved ceramic jade bottles, with red cloth hanging on them, and the word "tribute" was written on them. It dawned on him that maybe there were some things that weren't what they seemed.
Kang Yufei saw that the prince's gaze stopped in the middle, stared at the word tribute, and hurriedly stepped forward to explain, "It's just a gimmick to fool people, Your Highness don't take it seriously." ”
The prince smiled, but he recognized it in his heart. The dress here is by no means foolish, and many of the tea leaves on the shelves are worth thousands of dollars, this place is not a place where ordinary people can casually ask. Earlier, all kinds of inns and wharves looked for the Zhong family father and son, but they forgot one place, that is, these shops from all over the world that could spend money to buy the sky. Jiangnan Li's family, you can check it out.
Kang Yufei didn't care about the prince's expression, so he called the shopkeeper to lead him and walked straight upstairs to the private room. The shopkeeper is a clear-eyed person, and after receiving Kang Yufei, he turned around and went downstairs to show the way for the prince.
"I didn't see you when I turned around, and I don't know where you went." When Kang Yufei saw the prince, such a mutter, there was a feeling of closeness and resentment, which made the prince feel a lot happier.
The prince sat down next to her and said with a smile, "It's my fault, I haven't said anything about you, you don't wait for me to run so fast." ”
Kang Yufei wanted to argue a few more words, but when he saw the shopkeeper coming in with a tea set, he took a break.
"What kind of tea is this?" The prince couldn't help but ask when he saw that the small blue-green sharp leaves in the teapot were somewhat similar to the Longjing he liked to drink on weekdays.
"Guest officer, it's Longjing, Baoyun Longjing."
The prince was overjoyed, and looked at Kang Yufei with warm eyes, "How do you know that I like Longjing?" ”
Catching up with such a gaze, Kang Yufei suddenly panicked, her cheeks turned crimson, and she involuntarily lowered her head, "I, how would I know." ”
The shopkeeper focused on laying out the tea set, but he didn't pay attention to the demeanor of the two, but when he heard these words in his ears, he couldn't help but explain, "Our Hou Ye also likes this Longjing, the county lord is filial, and he always thinks about this." ”
The prince turned his head to look out the window with a little disappointment. The mountain peaks in the distance are stacked, and the branches of the trees are withered nearby, and there is no good view.
"This Baoyun Longjing was produced after Qingming, how can this be preserved until now and the quality can remain unchanged, but the door university asks, it is a knowledge that only our store understands." Seeing that the atmosphere between the two was a little stagnant, the shopkeeper quickly changed his mind.
However, the prince didn't turn his head, Kang Yufei motioned to the shopkeeper to retreat, she picked up the teapot herself, thinking in her heart, His Royal Highness the prince was afraid that the shopkeeper who served was too noisy, so he showed displeasure and turned his head to avoid.
She shook the teapot gently, then poured out all the water, which was considered to be washed tea, and then poured in the boiling water, and watched the water spread over a patch of turquoise, and the tea leaves swirled in circles along the stream, which was also interesting.
Kang Yufei doesn't understand the excessive attention to making tea in the capital, but he has seen the opportunity, so he will pretend to learn it, anyway, the prince may not pay attention to it.
"Your Highness, please use tea." Kang Yufei pushed the teacup in front of the prince, and when she looked up, she found that the prince was looking at her, her eyes flashing with light, and she lowered her head embarrassedly.
The prince picked up the teacup and took a sip, nodding, "This Baoyun Longjing is really good, and it has a sweet feeling." ”
Kang Yufei smiled, "I thought His Highness knew tea, but he was also a fool." ”
The prince raised his eyebrows, "What do you say?" ”
"Tea is good, but it's not Baoyun Longjing."
The prince looked surprised, "I didn't expect the county lord to know tea so well, just this one bite, he can distinguish the origin of the product." ”
Kang Yufei suddenly laughed, "How can I have this ability, I don't like to drink tea, this is it." She raised her hand and pointed to the small iron box on the table, next to which was the seal that had just been torn off, with a few fly-headed words written on it, "Yunjing Longjing".
"This ......," the prince was even more surprised.
Kang Yufei stopped laughing and said, "It's Xiao Er who took it wrong, I wanted to say it just now, but when I saw him open the seal, I was afraid that he would be scolded, so I could only ......"
Seeing that the eyebrows on the prince's face were stretched out very naturally, the corners of his mouth were raised, and he smiled very happily, Kang Yufei couldn't help but laugh again.
The prince glanced out the window, the mountain peaks were like thick ink in the brush, layered on top of each other, natural and smart, several vigorous and powerful trees, straight and straight, arrogant and comfortable, a unique and picturesque scenery.
"You can see the mountains from here, but it's beautiful, I choose this one every time I come." Kang Yufei followed the prince's line of sight, his gaze fell on the rolling mountains, and he was reluctant to take it back for a long time.
The prince turned his head and looked at Kang Yufei's side face, and the distant Shanshan mountain range was the backdrop, this picture hovered in his mind, stirring, and made him feel a lot of emotion, it turned out that some scenery was not outstanding for the occasion, but for people.
Kang Yufei looked at the sky, "Let's go back." ”
"Now? But the county lord's tea hasn't been picked yet, right? "The prince was obviously reluctant to leave so early.
Kang Yufei smiled sweetly, "I asked just now, and I have already sent people home." She stood up and shrugged cutely, "I want to buy something, but I don't have to worry about no one to help carry it back." ”
"Then I'll enjoy leisure with the county lord." The crown prince also shrugged his eyebrows and smiled, as if the whole world was brightened.
The prince never seemed to be so relaxed about the joy of walking through the streets and alleys, not thinking about whether the people were doing well or not, whether the taxes would be too heavy this year, just walking side by side with her, casually looking at the shops on both sides, asking what the shop was selling, and whether it was good to taste the pastries of this house.
"Your Highness, if you don't go faster, we won't be able to get home after dark." Kang Yufei walked a few steps faster in disgust, but was grabbed by the crown prince's sleeve, "It's okay, for my sake, Master Hou won't scold you." ”
"But ......," before she could start complaining, the prince shook his sleeve slightly, "and go over there for a while, just a while." ”
Kang Yufei, who had originally made up his mind to go back, was shaken when he saw such a soft prince, "Okay, it's really just a while." ”
He didn't know that at this moment, Kang Yuche, who had just recovered from his injury, was sitting in the carriage at the gate of the Hou Mansion, waiting for the prince to come back, "Du Ruo, did you really see the prince come out of Qu Daoying?" ”
"It's long gone."
"If you don't come back, I'm afraid I'll send someone to find it."
"Someone is following, don't worry." Du Ruo opened the carriage door and motioned for Kang Yuche to go in and stay for a while.
Kang Yuche shook his head.
Du Ruo walked in and helped him, "Are you sure you're okay?" Where do you want to take His Royal Highness the Crown Prince down? ”
