Chapter 125: Family Affection Returns

Zhuo Qi said several people in one breath, and because he had enough evidence, he squinted at the crescent moon princess triumphantly.

The crescent moon ignored him and said: "What if so many people hear it, maybe it's a coincidence that there is a problem with the fire, why do you say that my master is that star......"

"What kind of system are you shouting in front of everyone in the temple!" Kangxi suddenly shouted in a deep voice.

As soon as Kangxi spoke, everyone who was doing it below was still in an uproar, and they were suddenly silent at this moment.

Kangxi looked around at everyone, in fact, what Zhuo Qi said just now he had heard before, and there were indeed several ministers present that day, Kangxi glanced at Suo Etu, only to see Suo Etu drinking tea with a tea bowl on his head, presumably because he also felt shameless about Baolan just now, and he was much more low-key at this time.

Mingzhu stayed in the capital, not here at the moment, Kangxi looked sideways again, and saw Chen Tingjing sitting in his seat, so he asked, "Lord Chen, what do you think about this?" ”

Chen Tingjing once served as the crown prince and concubine of Kangxi when he was young, he was respectful, fair and clear, and he was a very sacred-hearted minister, and he was quite valued by Kangxi on weekdays.

I saw Chen Tingjing standing upright, bowing to Kangxi and Xiaozhuang, and slowly said: "Back to the emperor, everyone just discussed, and Weichen also heard it, what Lord Zhuo said just now, but Qin Tianjian had a report, but Weichen thought that after all, this matter started suddenly, or there were other reasons for it, it is not too late, Wei Shen felt that it was not too late to investigate first and then make a conclusion, at this time, change a red clay stove, change the new charcoal, if it is still like this, it is not too late for the emperor to fall again." ”

Kangxi nodded slightly when he heard this, and raised his eyes to see a person standing at the banquet table at the door, it was the second brother-in-law Malhan with his sleeves, so he asked, "Master Ma, what do you have to say when you stand up?" ”

When Huai Sleeve heard this, he hurriedly looked back, only to see that Malhan had already walked out of his seat respectfully, shook his sleeves with both hands, and knelt on the ground respectfully to ask for Anbi, and said: "Emperor Shengming, although Huai Sleeve is my wife's sister, but he entered the palace from the Weichen Mansion, although Weichen has not spent much time with him, but he knows a little about it. ”

Malhan said this, paused slightly, and continued: "Master Fang Caizhuo suspects that she is the emperor star of the Yan Xing, and Weichen wants to say a few fair words for Huai Sleeve, first, Huai Sleeve was born in the northern frontier, and the north belongs to water, and secondly, Wei Chen heard that Huai Sleeve was born in early spring, when Ziwei Palace fell to the east, it should belong to 'wood', and its birth coincided with the snow falling from the sky, which is the origin of civil engineering and water, no matter what it has to do with fire, I hope that Long Live Lord will be clear. ”

Kangxi listened carefully and nodded slightly, and said, "I know what you are playing, you get up and sit back, I will find out." ”

"Long live thanks...... Malhan thanked him and kowtowed again before getting up and returning to his seat.

He looked back at his second brother-in-law Malhan, who was slowly returning to his seat, and couldn't help but have a thin layer of mist in his eyes.

When he lived in the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of War, he didn't have much intersection with this second brother-in-law, and he didn't even say much, but he didn't expect him to stand up for himself at this time, and it seems that the word "pro" at a critical moment is really good.

Kangxi said: "I think what Lord Chen said just now is reasonable, and I will send someone to investigate this matter, so I will put it aside at this moment." ”

After that, he looked at Huai Sleeve and asked in a harmonious voice, "Miss Huai, can you continue to cook tea?" ”

Hearing this, Huai Sleeve hurriedly nodded lightly.

Kangxi He said with a smile: "Okay, since that's the case, let's not spoil the interest of this tea banquet, and ask Miss Huai to continue to demonstrate the skills of ordering tea for everyone." ”

After that, he turned around and instructed Li Dequan, who was standing beside him: "Go and send someone to move the red clay stove in my imperial tea room, and bring some charcoal from our palace by the way." ”

"Hey, the minion will do it." After Li Dequan finished speaking, he turned around and ran out to order.

Although Kangxi's words were not loud, Concubine Yu, Baolan and others who were sitting next to him all changed their faces slightly, and even Concubine Hui couldn't help but glance sideways at her sleeves.

Chang Ning immediately ordered a few eunuchs to clean up the dirty place just now, and one of the little eunuchs was about to move out with the red clay stove, but Chang Ning called it and whispered, "Go and put it next to my seat, I want to take a look." ”

The little eunuch answered, and placed the blackened red clay stove next to Chang Ning's seat.

Not long after, under Li Dequan's arrangement, several imperial eunuchs moved the red clay stove and some charcoal from the Kangxi Imperial Tea Room and placed them in the center of the Yuexi Ning Lan Palace.

At this time, the sleeves of the arms, the heart has returned to calm, quietly standing in the center of the hall, waiting for everything to be ready again, Ning He's appearance as if nothing had happened, bowed slightly upwards and saluted, and continued to order tea.

Huai Sleeve carefully pinched the small tea mill of red copper, carefully ground it into a fine powder, and took a few pink dried flower bones from another porcelain jar and put them into the mill to grind together, and then placed them on the tea Luo and carefully sieved them again.

After sifting the tea, Huai Sleeve placed the tea powder in a white porcelain tea lotus, and then explained carefully: "The more delicate the tea sifting, the better, so that the tea can float up after entering the water, and the soup can also condense, so as to 'full the color of tea'."

Zhang Tingyu, who was sitting next to Kangxi, couldn't help but praise in a low voice: "It's really an expert in cooking tea, such a delicate step is very rare!" ”

After the tea was sifted, Huai Sleeve poured the water from the blue glazed porcelain bottle into the Tiliang copper kettle, picked up the flint fire sickle and prepared to light the fire to boil the water again, this time, Huai Sleeve looked carefully at the red clay stove, and carefully checked the charcoal before starting to light the fire.

Everyone was also a little nervous when they saw the fire in their sleeves, and Li Dequan had already put his figure sideways beside the emperor just in case.

But this time, it was safe and sound, and the heavenly fire in the red clay furnace released orange flames, like a gentle palm gently caressing the handle of the handle of the copper kettle.

When everyone saw that there was no abnormality, they were all relieved, and Huai Sleeve finally breathed a sigh of relief.

However, Rong Ruo, who was sitting next to Kangxi, always condensed his sword eyebrows, and saw that there was no abnormality in Huai Sleeve's ignition this time, so he quietly leaned down and carefully looked at the red clay stove that had just exploded.

After blowing the fire until it was vigorous, he put down the blowpipe and said, "There are requirements for the heat of the boiling water and the 'old' or 'tender' of the boiling water, which will also change the taste of the tea." Song Huizong's "Daguan Tea Treatise" said that the standard for passing through the water is 'hot like fish eyes and crab eyes, and the continuous deduction is a degree'. ”

In a blink of an eye, the water in the copper pot gradually sprayed out of the white mist, the sleeve carefully padded the tea towel, after the water was boiled, the sleeve used tea tweezers to pick up the prepared two black scorpion pile flowers and color tea bowl with the water in the pot to water, and the mouth did not forget to explain: "This step is '熁 (read xie two sounds) 盏' This step is to heat the cup, Beizong Cai Xiang said, 'If you want to order tea, you must first make the cup hot, and the tea will not float if it is cold'." ”

After the boiling was completed, Huai Sleeve used a small wooden spoon to pick a little tea powder from the tea lotus and put it into the tea bowl, then poured boiling water, and carefully mixed the tea powder until it was thick and oily, and explained: "This step is 'balancing'. Next, it's time to 'order tea' and 'whisk'. ”
