Tea fighting originated from the rise of the tea method, and because of this method is poor and exquisite, it was only popular among the wealthy merchants and nobles in the Song Dynasty, so the records of this tea drinking method in later generations are extremely rare, and when the Qing Dynasty, the tea method and the tea fighting are exquisite, although the tea method and the tea fighting are restored, but its production skills have been compared with the Song Dynasty.

Huai Sleeve once saw a Northern Song Dynasty Su Zhe's book "Hezizhan Sencha" in his grandmother's collection, and admired the vivid and detailed tea fighting scene in it, so he put in a lot of effort or asked someone to make or carefully searched, and collected all the utensils needed in the tea fight, and made it according to the tea ordering method recorded in detail in the book.

When the grandmother of the sleeve, Princess Gulun Ruimin, was beside Gaozu Huang Taiji, she had seen a literary wise man of the Central Plains interpret the tea method for Huang Taiji, and the young Princess Gulun Ruimin fell in love with this kind of tea drinking method in the Central Plains at first sight, and made a detailed record of each step.

Later, when she went to Huai Sleeve to study the tea method, Princess Gulun Ruimin specially found out the records made in the year to guide Huai Sleeve step by step, and the grandparents and grandchildren also added a variety of tea products to the tea products of the tea method on the original basis, so Huai Sleeve is also quite researched on the main tea cooking process of tea fighting.

Before entering the palace with sleeves, all the other beloved things were dispersed by her grandmother, and only this set of tea utensils allowed her to bring them into the palace with her.

When Huai Sleeve filled in the required objects, he only filled in a small medicine bowl, and others did not know what it meant, and Huai Sleeve did not explain much, only said that there was this thing.

On the eve of the tea banquet, the sleeves sorted out the tea set, packed it up with a small wooden box that had been painted red, and on the day of the tea fight, called two stable little eunuchs to carefully carry it to the Yuexi Ninglan Hall where the tea banquet was held the day before.

Huai Sleeve still sits with the crescent moon on a shoulder to the Moon Xi Ning Lan Palace, Chengde is located in the north of the mountain, the temperature difference between day and night is large, the morning light and evening breeze are slightly cold, therefore, Jian Yue is afraid that the Huai Sleeve will provoke the cold, especially outside to add a silver and white dark pattern cloud brocade shawl.

Huai Sleeve didn't want to provoke the attention of others because of his dress, so it was just right to add this one.

Today's Moon Tide Ning Lan Hall is also noisy and lively as yesterday, and there are many palace maids and eunuchs next to it, thinking that it must be yesterday that I heard their respective masters say how lively they were, and begged their masters to see the world.

As soon as the crescent moon and his sleeves sat down, Chang Ning walked here with a smile on his face.

"The sixth uncle's outfit today is very energetic, but which girl's daughter did you fall in love with yesterday, and asked the emperor's uncle to marry you today?" Seeing that Chang Ning was not wearing an official uniform, he only wore a long gown that he usually wore, but it was new, so he teased first.

"Little girl, you always speak openly, ask your master to teach you well another day!" Chang Ning's mouth was full of anger, but he only used one finger to lightly tap the tip of the crescent moon's nose, full of love.

"Slave maid to Prince Gong to say goodbye." Bow your sleeves and bow down. Chang Ning hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Since Miss Huai has become the master of the crescent moon, she doesn't have to be so polite in the future, and the salute will be exempted." ”

Chang Ning followed and muttered quietly: "Maybe I should salute you in a few days." ”

"What did the prince say?" Huai Sleeve didn't hear him talking to himself, and asked.

"Huh? Uh, no, nothing, I'm talking to myself, hehe, talking to myself. Chang Ning smiled and said vaguely.

Yueya also heard him speak just now, but she didn't hear it clearly, so she said: "Sixth uncle, if you dare to bully my master, beware of the next time I wipe the inkstone with your clothes." He said with a sly look on his face.

"Where do I dare to bully your master, your master is the emperor now...... The red man in front of the Queen Mother Lafayette. Chang Ning sighed lightly after speaking, and then he quickly turned his head and almost bit his tongue. Luckily, the reaction was fast enough.

Thinking of this, he bared out a mouthful of little white teeth at Huai Sleeve, nodded and smiled: "Yes, Miss Huai." ”

Huai Sleeve smiled lightly and asked: "It is also very hard for the prince to be in charge of this tea banquet conference, don't you have something to explain, how can you have time to chat with us here?" ”

Chang Ning patted his head when he heard this, stretched out his hand and pointed at the crescent moon and said, "Look at you, it's all your trouble, I almost forgot what I wanted to say seriously." ”

Chang Ning said, took out a white juan from his sleeve, with several lines of text like a list on it, glanced at his sleeve and said, "Today is the tea fighting competition, I specially inform you that you are the third to appear, behind Lan Guiren." Remember. ”

"Lan Guiren also participated in the tea fight?" Huai Sleeve couldn't help but blurt out.

"Well, yes, what? Does Miss Huai recognize this new nobleman? Chang Ning said.

Huai Sleeve hurriedly shook his head with a smile and said: "Where do I recognize such a nobleman, Lan Guiren was the pearl of Lord Suo before entering the palace, and he was the sister-in-law of Queen Hesheri, this must be known to everyone in the palace." ”

Chang Ning nodded yes, said a few more words and went to get busy with other things.

Huai Sleeve secretly thought in his heart, Baolan's usual big temperament, but today he also participated in the tea fighting skills, and couldn't help but be secretly surprised......

Today's weather is becoming clearer and clearer, the sky is like an upside-down mirror, there is no cloud, a blue sky, clear and clear

The moon tide Ning Lan hall is as golden as yesterday, the palace lamp is hanging high, and the golden dragon banquet table is placed with fresh fruits and all kinds of delicate preserved fruit cakes. Kangxi and Xiaozhuang haven't come yet, and the four seats are noisy and everyone is chatting to relieve boredom.

"Master, I see that there are more people here today than yesterday!" The crescent moon looked around and said to the sleeve.

Huai Sleeve nodded with a smile, quietly opened the small red wooden box next to him and glanced at the tea fighting utensils inside, and saw that the blue glazed porcelain jar was well placed in the box, and his heart was at ease, and he gently closed the lid of the box.

Huai Sleeve did not gossip with everyone, but seemed to unintentionally fiddle with the freshly picked budding white camellia in his hand, and the pollen shaken off the pale yellow stamen was scattered on the fingers of Huai Sleeve, wafting with a burst of elegant and natural fragrance.

After a short time, Xiaozhuang entered the hall with Kangxi, everyone still knelt down, and Su Malagu was still sitting on the table beside her sleeve.

Aunt Su Mala just sat down, looked back at her sleeves and smiled lightly and asked, "There should be your show today, right?" ”

Huai Sleeve smiled and nodded slightly. Aunt Su Mala looked at the small wooden box beside Huai Sleeve and asked, "The necessary utensils and items are all prepared, right?" Huai Sleeve nodded and said, "Thank you, aunt, for your concern, it's safe." ”

Su Malagu nodded slightly and asked, "What is your order, have you told me?" ”

"It's the third one, Prince Gong came early in the morning to tell you." Sleeves replied.
