Chapter 90: The Test
Although the carriage had been driven very smoothly, it could not be compared with the flat ground, and it was obvious that because of the shaking, the county lord's operation was delayed, and she wasted a lot of effort to make the tea.
She pushed a cup of brewed tea to Sima Guansheng and smiled, "Taste it!" β
"Thank you, Lord!" After that, Sima Guansheng picked up the cup of steaming tea, put it in front of the tip of his nose and sniffed it gently, blew the hot air, and took a small sip gently.
"How? Can you taste what kind of tea it is? β
"The taste is fresh and fresh, fragrant and fragrant, the soup is green and clear, and the bottom of the leaves is fine and tender. If the little girl guessed correctly, this is Biluochun. This is Liu Liyue's favorite tea, how could she not taste it.
Hearing this, Liu Yuwan smiled with satisfaction, and pushed another cup of tea to her, "Try this cup!" β
Sima Guansheng repeated Fang Cai's actions, took a sip, and said seriously: "The aroma is high and lasting, fragrant and fragrant, the soup color is apricot green, clear and bright, the bottom of the leaves is tender and green, evenly formed into flowers, the buds are erect, and the fragrance is left between the teeth." Such a good tea should be West Lake Longjing. β
Liu Yuwan pushed the last cup of tea to her, smiled and made a gesture of please, but did not make a sound.
Sima Guansheng smiled awkwardly and nodded in response, continued to pick up the cup of tea, drank it, and said softly: "The color of the soup is slightly orange-yellow, with an obvious fragrance, similar to the fragrance of osmanthus flowers, the soup is mellow and sweet, and the throat rhyme is sweet and strong." In this case, it should be oolong tea. β
As soon as the words fell, Liu Yuwan immediately clapped her hands and applauded: "She is worthy of being the granddaughter of Ling Tingshi, she is good at piano and calligraphy and painting, and she is also so good at tea ceremony." This Liu Yuwan is really not simple, on the carriage, she did not forget to test this "future daughter-in-law" by knocking on the side.
"The county lord praises falsely, and the little girl is ashamed."
"Come, I'm just thirsty, you can help me make a cup of tea to quench my thirst." Liu Yuwan said, pushing the tea leaves, teacups and water in front of her.
Sima Guansheng said modestly: "The little girl's tea art is shallow, and the tea she brews is afraid that it will not enter the mouth of the county lord." β
"It's good or not, you will know after drinking, if you don't make tea, the water will be cold." Liu Yuwan smiled all over her face.
Sima Guansheng nodded in response and began to pound the tea leaves on the table.
Liu Yuwan kept staring at her, looking very seriously, very carefully, and very satisfied.
After a while, a cup of tea with a clear yellow and green color is brewed.
Sima Guansheng held the teacup in both hands, respectfully held it in front of Liu Yuwan, and said softly: "County Lord, please drink tea!" β
Liu Yuwan took the teacup, closed her eyes and sniffed it, she was very intoxicated, and after smelling it, she held it to her lips and took a sip, and then said with a smile: "The aroma is fragrant and fresh, and the tea is mellow and fragrant." Good tea, good tea, such a great favor, I really don't know how to repay Old Madam Ling. β
She smiled so brightly, laughed so wantonly.
Sima Guansheng also heard what she said, she could only laugh awkwardly and didn't dare to squeak.
A moment of tea ceremony, a moment of chess, a moment of calligraphy, painting and piano.
Sima Guansheng felt physically and mentally exhausted from this trip, sitting in such a luxurious and spacious carriage was not as good as the single carriage she had before she came.
The carriage drove out of Yongzhou City, leaving Yongzhou City far behind, and headed in the direction of Luoyang City. Before she came, she didn't have a chance to appreciate the mountain again. Liu Yuwan, who had to deal with this trouble all the way, was afraid that if he was careless, he would offend Liu Yuwan, who didn't know whether it was good or evil.
At the back door of Sima Mansion in Luoyang, a carriage was waiting there.
Sima Daiyu led the maid Jade, stepped into the carriage through the back door, and drove out in the direction of Yufu.
As soon as Sima Daiyuan's carriage left, Zhong Xiaoniang and Mother Wen also got into another carriage and followed closely behind. She was still not at ease, afraid that Sima Daiyuan would cause trouble.
Sima Daiyuan sat in the carriage, looking impatient, tearing the Jinpa in her hand hard, her eyes full of hatred. Jade watched quietly, not daring to squeak.
After a long time, she asked sharply: "Jade, can you inquire, will he really pass by Jinhua Street at three o'clock?" β
"Big girl, don't worry! The slave asked the Yu family's neighbors, and the Yu family's son was very regular. Every day, he sent breakfast to the school to his teacher, and passed by the intersection of Jinhua Street at three o'clock. β
Sima Daiyuan nodded with satisfaction and stopped making a sound.
The carriage stopped at the intersection of Kam Wah Street, and the groom indicated outside that Kam Wah Street had arrived.
Sima Daiyuan put on the curtain and walked off the carriage with Jade, and asked the groom to park the carriage in a small alley not far away. And the two of them walked to a breakfast stall at the intersection, ordered some food casually, and waited for Yu Mochu to arrive.
A steaming breakfast table, Sima Daiyuan must have had no intention of enjoying it, and her eyes were always in the crowd of people coming and going.
Jade saw the breakfast on the table and swallowed her saliva greedily.
Sima Daiyuan glanced at the jade and said sharply: "You can eat if you want, but you have to polish your eyes, if he walks by and you don't find out, I have to let you walk around without eating." β
"Yes, thank you, big girl!" After that, Jade grabbed the buns on the table and began to gobble them up, a mouthful of buns, a mouthful of soybean milk, and it was worrying to eat. But she didn't just care about eating, her eyes kept staring at the intersection, searching for Yu Mochu's figure.
Sima Daiyuan is also carefully comparing the portraits in her hands.
After a while, Jade shouted, "It's coming...... Ahem...... "With the hand holding the bun, he pointed to a man in a plain brocade light blue robe.
Because she spoke too quickly, she almost choked on the buns and soy milk in her mouth. She clutched her chest, her face flushed and she vomited.
Seeing her like this, Sima Daiyuan was so anxious that she stomped her feet, "Which one?" Why didn't I see you're squeaking! She lifted half of the curtain with one hand, held the portrait in the other, stood up, and anxiously compared with the men who passed by.
Jade used all her strength to spit out, and finally spit out the almost fatal bun, she picked up the small half bowl of soy milk on the table and took a sip, hurriedly stood up, pointed to Yu Mochu, who was close at hand, and said: "Girl, it's him, wearing a light blue robe, holding a food box in his hand." β
Sima Daiyuan's eyes moved to Yu Mochu, she crumpled the portrait in her hand into a paper ball and discarded it, muttering to herself: "What kind of bullshit painter is this, I can't paint three portraits." β
She rushed forward, and Jade settled the bill, following suit.
She crossed her hands on her waist to block Yu Mochu's way, Yu Mochu tried to avoid it, and after a competition like an eagle catching a chicken, it was unsuccessful, and he had to stop helplessly. Said politely: "Miss, you are in the way of despicable people, so let me go." β
Sima Daiyuan looked Yu Mochu up and down disdainfully, and asked sharply, "You are Yu Mochu?" β
"I ...... I am, who is Miss? What is the reason for blocking the way of the despicable? β
Sima Daiyuan didn't say a word, she grabbed Yu Mochu's arm and pulled it to the alley next to her, Yu Mochu kept struggling, her face was anxious, and she murmured in a low voice: "Miss, you and I don't know each other, where is Miss going to pull contemptible people?" Men and women don't kiss, but also ask the lady to respect herself, let go of the contemptible. β
Yu Mochu is weak, but after all, he is also a man, and Sima Daiyu used her strength to breastfeed, and she didn't let him move a bit.
"Are you leaving?" Sima Daiyuan said angrily.
"A gentleman can't bend mighty, rich and noble can't be lewd, poor and lowly can't be moved, even if the beauty is thrown into his arms, he should sit still. Please let go, miss, don't get pregnant with your and me's innocent reputation. β
Sima Daiyuan's face hidden under the curtain was already angry, she tried her best to suppress her anger, and leaned into Yu Mochu's ear and whispered: "Are you really not leaving?" At this moment, the distance between the two is almost zero, and Yu Mochu is embarrassed for this. Then I'll scream indecent, help! Non-......"
In the last few words, she deliberately shouted in a high voice.
Before she could shout, Yu Mochu compromised, and hurriedly responded, "I'll go, I'll go, I'll go." β
Sima Daiyuan originally didn't intend to let everyone know about this matter, so she spoke slowly, deliberately leaving time for Yu Mochu to stop.
Although it is just an inexplicable word "help", it still attracts a lot of strange eyes. The person who passed by and heard the sound stopped and looked at them.
Sima Daiyuan pulled Yu Mochu to the alley, and Jade explained to those suspicious people behind her, dispersing the onlookers, and then chased her into the alley.
Not far away, Zhong Xiaoniang, who was hiding in the carriage and secretly observing Sima Daiyuan's every move, saw the two of them pulling and pulling into the alley, and couldn't help but want to get out of the car to catch Sima Daiyuan back.
As soon as she got up, Mother Wen persuaded: "Zhong Xiaoniang, in this market, there are people and snakes, it is inconvenient for you to go to the road, or the slave woman to see what the eldest girl wants to do." β
Zhong Xiaoniang thought for a moment and sat down, "Okay, if she wants to do something out of the cabinet, you can stop it quickly." β
Mother Wen arrived, stepped out of the carriage, sneakily walked towards the alley, and hid at the exit of the alley to observe secretly.
In the alley, Yu Mochu said in a pleading voice: "Miss, look at the way you are dressed, you are also a young lady from a big family, why are you acting so rudely." You and I have never known each other, there is no resentment in the near future, and there is no enmity in the distance. The contemptible man is just a scholar, and he has always followed the rules, why do you want to play tricks on the contemptible person like this? β
"Haha......" Sima Daiyuan let go of the hand holding Yu Mochu's arm, and said sharply to Jade behind her: "Jade, go to the alley and guard, you don't need anyone to approach." β
After the jade blessing saluted, she walked towards the entrance of the alley. Seeing this, Mother Wen left in a hurry.
Sima Daiyuan took off the curtain on her head, forced Yu Mochu into the corner step by step, looked fierce and vicious, and roared: "Take a good look at it clearly, do you and I know each other?" β
Yu Mochu cautiously stepped back, carefully examining Sima Daiyuan's face. Although he had only seen Sima Daiyuan once, he still recognized that the fierce and vicious person in front of him was his Yu Mochu's fiancΓ©e.
He looked at Sima Daiyuan with incredible eyes, and said, "You are ...... Miss Sima Jia...... Sima Daiyuan? β
"Yes, it's Miss Ben."
Seeing that it was Sima Dai, his embarrassment eased a lot, and a smile appeared on his face, "Miss is in a hurry, do you have to say it to your face?" β
Sima Daiyuan took out the dagger hidden in her sleeve, took off the dagger sheath, and pointed the dagger at the tip of Yu Mochu's nose with a dagger that was bright and dangling.
