Tingsheng sat on the top and safely accepted everyone's blessings.

"Please Niang Niang Jin'an."

Licheng, listening to Sheng's slight bow, his red lips raised lightly, and he smiled: "You ladies don't need to be polite, let's take a seat quickly." ”

The seats were quiet, and everyone got up and returned to their original positions.

Today's Qingle Palace, which has changed from the quiet of the past, has placed hundreds of pots of peonies. Flowers are gorgeous, charming, and all kinds of peony colors can be found here. I thought that I could enjoy a hundred flowers at the flower viewing banquet, but I saw every corner in the hall, except for peonies or peonies, not even a single orchid. Tingsheng's love for peonies can be seen.

There are a lot of people at the flower viewing banquet, there are raw and familiar faces, and even Wen Er, who doesn't like to mix familiar faces on weekdays, also came to join in the fun, before the banquet, we met in Xiaoyuan, looked at each other and smiled, and before she had time to speak, she was intercepted by Sheng Yunjiang to greet her. That's fine, anyway, Wen Er and I don't have anything to say, at most ask Xiao Qianying how he is doing, after all, I still like that soft and glutinous, white and fat boy.

I looked around, there were many figures, but I couldn't see her alone, I don't know if she couldn't come because she was unwell. Among the three of us, Yunkang and I came alone today, and we had a little less fun.

The courtesy at the table remained the same.

A woman said: "Thanks to the elegance of the mother, this banquet was held and I was invited to come together." The tea on the case is mellow and fragrant, the flowers in the garden are lustful, and the flowers and teas are indeed suitable today, and they are rewarded by the mother. ”

A woman smiled and said: "It's the mother who has a heart, I'm afraid that we won't move around on weekdays, and I want to take advantage of this banquet to let all the sisters come to the mother to get acquainted with each other."

Hehe, you're old enough to be my mother, who is your own sister.

Listening to Sheng's eyebrows are picturesque, looking forward to the endless style between the bright lights, as soon as she speaks, her voice is like a trickle, fresh and pleasant.

The ladies laughed. The palace is still young, and the time of entering the palace is not long, and the experience of setting up banquets is insufficient. ”

The crowd boasted again.

Tingsheng's concubine shelf is very stable and steady, speaking and doing things in her own way, a little less majestic than Tao Guifei, but a little more easy-going, so as to win the sound of flattery. The praise in the mouths of the people, whether true or false, was repeated many times, and my already not very good mood became more and more annoyed.

For some reason, I have less and less affection for Tingsheng, and I even feel a little afraid of her, and I don't want to live with her.

I have never liked to participate in this kind of banquet, even when Tao Guifei held it before, I tried to come as little as possible. Because there are too many rules for this kind of occasion. People who come should pay attention to elegant manners, talk generously, sit one set, kneel one set, kneel and sit another, like a crazy rabbit like me, to sit honestly in one place for an hour or two without moving, for me, it is really uncomfortable to sit on pins and needles, the so-called quiet as a virgin, and I am eight poles can not be beaten. If it weren't for the last resort, I really didn't want to come to any flower-viewing feast.

Before I came, I thought that Yu Gui would also come. If she comes, and laughs with me, I won't be too bored, even if I sit for two hours. I turned my head to look at Yunkang beside me, shook my head helplessly and sighed. Yunkang is good at everything, but sometimes he is dull like a fool and less reserved, especially on important occasions, and his face is even thinner. If she doesn't take the initiative to talk to others, she will be shy even if others talk to her. Nodding and smiling, plus um, ah, oh cop. She's so reserved, I can't expect her to laugh with me like she does in private. Forget it, although there are a little regrets, it is much better than that neither she nor Yu Gui came, at least there is someone who can listen to me gossip about daily trivial matters, so that I will not be too depressed.

Sitting face to face with us were An Kang and Sheng Yunjiang, compared to us, they talked very happily, laughing, smiling and smiling.

Soon after the banquet, it was like a maid in the East Palace who came to look for Wen'er, and the people came in a hurry, whispering a few words in Wen'er's ear. Wen Er looked nervous for a moment, and immediately got up to ask Tingsheng for a speech, and between the two of them, it seemed that the little emperor and grandson were suddenly startled by something, and they couldn't stop crying, and the serving grandmothers and maids couldn't persuade them, and Wen Er needed to rush back to take care of them personally.

Even if Wen Er left the table in the middle of the meeting, the feast went on as usual.

Serving the palace ladies and presenting all kinds of pastries and fruits, I glanced at them and had no appetite. Each person's wooden case is in front of a small stove for boiling tea, a set of tea sets, tea powder and tea, everything.

Today it is said that it is to enjoy the flowers and tea, in fact, the flower appreciation is secondary, and the tea is the main event. I looked at the cups and bowls in front of me, and the soup and water began to faint. The process of boiling tea is the most dull and tedious. Before ordering tea, the carefully selected tea leaves are beaten into the end, the tea powder is placed in a small bowl of green jade, a few spoons of boiling water are poured into a paste, and then boiling water is poured in. The amount of water is very cumbersome, not too much and not less, not full and not shallow, while filling water while using the tea whisk to keep beating, until the tea bites.

It is not surprising that Nanzhan has been rich since he came to be rich, and the people of the country have settled down, and they have developed the poetic and picturesque feelings of the Nan people, who are as gentle as water, and it is not surprising that they are willing to spend effort on this game of cultivating their temperament, and they only suffer from me, a child from a nomadic people, and they have to suffer this crime in vain. To do this work, people must have extreme endurance, be meticulous and focused, and concentrate on it. I didn't want to learn, but I had to. Just to get closer to the officials and their families, so as not to seem that I am out of place with them. It's a pity that my talent is dull, I haven't learned it for so long since I came to Nanzhan, I can remember the program clearly, but I can't order the essence of tea, and I always fail because the tea is not bitten, and it is only made into a semi-finished product. Tea fighting, to see is whose tea art is better, whose tea making skills are skilled, and the tea soup is better-looking, as for whether the tea is good or not, it doesn't matter, as if who can play the trick played by the nobles more slippery, whose aristocratic upbringing can be better, it's really a boring trick.

I don't know what Tingsheng's purpose is in holding this banquet, if it is deliberately held to see who is laughing, I think that she must be me against that person, and she has successfully seen it.

I lowered my head and concentrated on tinkering for a long time, but no matter how hard I tried, this tea foam just didn't bite the cup.

Sneaking a glance at Yunkang, well, it's presentable, and it's done pretty well. I stopped, put my hand on my cheek, just stared at the rapidly moving teawhisk in her hand, and sighed: "An impetuous person like me is really not suitable for playing this kind of game."

Yun Kang pursed his lips and smiled, and said softly: "If you are patient, you will definitely be able to do a good job."

I nunu mouthed, gently put aside the tea whisk for making tea, and said completely deadly: "Forget it, I don't have this talent, it's better to wait quietly."

Yun Kang Wan'er asked, "What are you waiting for?"

I blushed my face and said happily: "Of course I'm waiting to drink ready-made, wait for you to get me to drink."

Yun Kang bowed his head lightly, smiled without saying a word.

"Yun Xiaowu, you put a little less tea powder, it's too bitter, I won't eat it. When you finish the tea, I'll reluctantly try it for you. If it's poisonous, I'll suffer for you first. ”

Duobu knelt beside me and listened to the conversation between me and Yunkang clearly, sighing again and again, as if hating iron, his eyes rolled, and he rewarded me with a white eye.

I smacked my lips and leaned my face over: "Duobu, I seem to see you looking at me."

Duobu muttered softly: "It's good to work hard, sit back and enjoy it." It's you. ”

I waved my hand, not ashamed at all, and retorted: "I'm not just a pleasure and a bad worker, but I know that I have to retreat." Since I can't be a master of tea, what's wrong with me being a master of tea tasting? This is called, there is a specialization in the art industry, and that's it. Having said that, I am very proud of my knowledge. ”

Yun Kang laughed, and couldn't help but say: "Lacking, after so many years, you still like to use allusions and idioms indiscriminately."

I touched my nose embarrassedly, squinted and smiled, "Is there one?" I don't think I'm wrong. ”

While speaking, Yun Kang had stopped moving, she smiled, handed over the tea bowl with both hands, and quipped: "Then please ask Princess Jing to give a face, how about tasting my bowl of tea soup." You can rest assured, this tea is definitely non-toxic, just drink it with confidence. ”

"Well, Mrs. Wu has a heart."

I raised my hand, took her tea bowl with an exaggerated expression, and lowered my head to take a sip of tea soup.

Yun Kang leaned over and asked expectantly, "How does this tea taste?" Bitter or not, astringent or not? But you can still swallow it. ”

I calmly put down the tea bowl, smacked my lips, cleared my throat and said, "Not bad, it tastes excellent." The color of this tea soup is beautiful, and the tea flavor is also fragrant, which is really full of color and flavor. ”

As the words fell, the few women sitting next to us couldn't help but cover their mouths and snicker, and the white eyes of Duobu flew towards me overwhelmingly.

I pretended to be puzzled, and pulled Yunkang's sleeve in confusion and asked, "Did I say something wrong?"

Yun Kang was stunned, and then smiled: "All the color, smell, and flavor? I feel like you're not drinking tea, you're tasting food. ”

I grinned, waved my hand, and said, "It's all the same, it's good anyway." Yun Xiaowu, your tea ordering skills are really good, compared with Bai Fuzi who taught us tea art at that time, it is also more than that, and it is wonderful. ”

When the words fell, the women who covered their mouths and snickered again won my pleasure, and they no longer hid it, and simply laughed openly.

I feigned displeasure and asked Duobu, "What are they laughing at, but I am saying the wrong idiom?"

Duobu didn't answer, his face flushed, as if he was angry.

turned his head to look at Yun Kang, and saw that she was also flushed on both sides of her cheeks.

Yun Kang patted my hand and said, "Lacking, you still, try to say a few idioms."

I was indignant and asked aloud, "Why?" I know a lot of idioms, and you still don't let me use them? Didn't Yu Gui tell me that I should speak more idioms, so that it would seem that I spoke very well. ”

Yun Kang was dumbfounded for a moment, raised his handkerchief with a smile, and carefully wiped the tea foam sticking to the corner of his mouth for me, and then said seriously: "Yu Guihui said this because you always use idioms indiscriminately...... She's teasing you. If you make a joke with idioms, others will treat you as a fool who doesn't know how to learn. ”

I smiled and nodded and said I understood, no longer dwelling on this.

Actually, of course, I know that using idioms indiscriminately can make people laugh. Laugh at it, and when others take you for a fool, you'll be safer than a smart person.
