Lian's old house.

Lian Shaorong closed the tea lid heavily, and his face was cloudy.

I felt that the second child's family was sensible, and in a blink of an eye, he caused such a big trouble.

Different from the Lian family, Lao Gao's family is an authentic carved century-old dragon head in Nanjing. Even if he is the old man in the family, he has to save face for the Gao family. Who makes the family rich and strong!

Lian Baitang was not angry in the past, except for the overnight stay in the Qinglou, the rest was just a small fight, and it was harmless. It's a good thing today, but he went directly to the people of the Gao family. Xue Taojian, heh, is Xue Taojian so easy to do?

couldn't help but slam the teacup and scolded angrily: "The Gao family and the Lian family have been neck and neck for many years, regardless of superiority. It's good now, the reputation of the Lian family is about to lose in the hands of Lian Baitang, a stinky boy! ”

The old man Gao also politely greeted his old man: "Let them solve the affairs of the young people by themselves, let's just eat melons and watch the fun." ”

This is not an obvious way to tell your father: our grandson is going to fight in the ring, don't be idle, come out and walk!

After hearing the news, the old man Lian snorted: "The Gao family still has some skills. Lian Baitang, is the eldest grandson in the second room who made the relief paper? ”

"It's him."

"Oh." Old Man Lian picked up a small blue and white porcelain bird food jar and put it in his eyes to examine it, and said with a smile: "Let the young man toss." I'm still teasing the birds and playing with the crickets. ”

At this point, Lian Shaorong has no problem. Lian Baitang, this kid has a big idea now, and he has a really powerful master, maybe he is really a little sure. scolded and scolded, and still sent someone to send him a lot of things needed to dye Xue Tao's note.

Lian Baitang was quite moved, and the flower juice sent was well-made, and the uncle was attentive!

"It's impatiens juice!" Bai Tang sniffed lightly, "This is the flower juice of gardenia and wood hibiscus." This is moth-proof barberry juice. Uncle thinks thoughtfully, cousin, thank you on my behalf. ”

Lian Pingjiang was surprised and surprised when he saw that he had a lot of treasures about these raw materials. The worry in my heart was unconsciously less, and I asked with a smile: "Do you need any other materials?" Father said, "If you have a need, just mention it." ”

Bai Tang smiled and said, "I will not be polite to the uncle." "This uncle is much better than the original owner's cheap father. It is estimated that the guy who practiced Shaoda wished that he had lost miserably, and took the opportunity to snatch back Songzhuzhai.

Seeing off his cousin, the anxious Su Shi turned out of the back hall: "Bai Tang, do you really want to compete with the son of the Gao family?" ”

"Mother, don't worry." Bai Tang comforted her softly, "Since I dare to take the test, I am sure to win him." ”

"But—" Su Shi said with round eyes, "how can you dye paper!" ”

"Did you forget? I have a very good master. "I'm glad that I made up a master, otherwise, he really doesn't know how to deal with everyone's suspicions.

Su Shi sighed, and his face eased slightly: "That Master Xu is too powerful, right?" How can anything ......" Before she finished drawing, she saw Bai Tang take a brush and dipped it in hibiscus flower juice and dye it on white paper.

Bai Tang looked focused, and after the paper was half dry, he picked up the two corners and put them in the sunlight in front of the window to examine, his eyebrows frowned slightly, and he saw Su's inexplicable panic: "What's wrong?" ”

Bai Tang replied: "In the capital, which is the best teahouse?" ”

"Teahouse?" Su Shi sighed, "If you talk about tea, the tea in Yunjian Lou is one of the best." However, the really high-quality tea is still in the hands of scholarly families and royal nobles. ”

Bai Tang replied casually: "Yes." He packed up his belongings and said, "Mother, there is still one raw material left for dyeing Xue Tao's note, I'll go out to find it." ”

Su Shi looked at his daughter's long back, and thought a lot: Bai Tang seems to have encountered something difficult? I hate that I can't help much! Alas, even if you win this game, what about the next one? After all, he's a girl!

After Baitang came out of Songzhu Zhai, he went straight to Yunjian Tower.

Yunjian Lou is a place where literati and elegant guests gather, the fragrance of tea is far away, and the chlorine is faint. There is no lobby, only a private room. Each elegant room has a study room, and the four treasures of the study room are all available. There is also a thoughtful-looking boy in a green shirt serving tea.

Bai Tang lightly lifted the hem of his clothes and sat on the bamboo couch in a leisurely manner. On the couch is an ebony table with a tea tray. A set of celadon tea sets on the plate, the round belly teapot is beautiful, the five tea cups are only the size of walnuts, light and thin like eggshells, the sun is shining, and the sun is shining. Due to the hot weather, there are ice cubes in the room.

The little boy was secretly surprised: How could the famous loser of the Lian family have such Yaxing to drink tea at home?

Suddenly thought of his comments, and his back was cold: Don't think of going to the teahouse to have fun, right? Although he is a tea boy, he is beautiful and elegant, does it make him take a fancy to him? Trembling for a while, he endured disgust and worry, and reluctantly smiled and asked, "What kind of tea does Lian Gongzi want to drink?" ”

Bai Tang said casually: "Dongting blue snail, Jingting green snow, Huizhou pineapple, all are available." ”

The little boy was stunned and said secretly: He still knows the names of these teas!

"Childe wait." The child first boiled water on the red clay stove, and then took out a few small tea pots with different flowers carved on sweet white porcelain and put them on the side for later use.

Bai Tang looked at the little child's hands and feet, and secretly praised: The boy taught by Yunjian Lou has a somewhat elegant posture.

Before the water boiled, he picked up a copy of the "Book of Tea" from the bookshelf and flipped through it. The boy inadvertently raised his head, and saw him half-leaning on the backrest, his eyes drooping lightly, a pair of thick and elegant long eyebrows flying straight into his mane, his nose straight and straight, and his thin lips were red. is indescribably elegant and handsome, and I was stunned for a while!

The pot of water puffed on the top of the tea lid, and the white begonia looked like a feather fan and opened lightly: "Is the water boiling?" ”

"Oh!" The little boy suddenly came back to his senses and blushed embarrassedly. Busy and affectionately scalded the tea set, made tea, and after it cooled a little, he said: "Son, please taste." This is this year's spring tea conch. ”

Baitang thumb and index finger pinch the edge of the cup, and the middle finger supports the bottom of the cup. As soon as he made a move, Xiao Tong was secretly surprised: Sanlong Huding, he knows tea. Goodbye to him a small cup of tea divided into three sips, the breath is peaceful, upright and natural. I couldn't help but feel ashamed of my random speculation: it seemed that I had misunderstood him.

Bai Tang looked at him with a smile: "Spring tea? ”

The boy's heart fluttered, and he stared at his eyes uneasy. muttered: "Spring, spring tea." ”

The tip of Bai Tang's tongue tapped the tip of his teeth, making a soft sound.

"What kind of water do you use?"

The boy breathed a sigh of relief and said eloquently: "Our water is taken from Zhuo Xiquan, Your Excellency Guanyin of Jozan Temple. It is sweet and cool, and it is more fragrant than the tea brewed with ordinary well water. ”

Lian Baitang said thoughtfully: "Why don't you use the spring water of Bailong Spring?" ”

Three springs in Nanjing: White Dragon Spring, Pearl Spring, Zhuo Xi Spring. Headed by the spring water of Longquanyuan in Bailong Mountain.

It's just that Longquan Garden has become a royal forbidden place, and usually people can't get close to it at all.

The boy smiled: "How many people can get the water of Longquan Garden?" It was a tribute water that only the royal family and nobles could enjoy. ”

Bai Tang's lips tugged lightly: "Is there really no one who can get the water of the White Dragon Spring?" ”

The boy hesitated and said, "There may be officials who can get one or two." A while ago, I heard that Lord Qin's family had received the dragon spring water rewarded by His Royal Highness the Prince. However, it is difficult for ordinary people to find a pot and a half bowl. ”

"Which Lord Qin?"

"Scholar of Wenhua Pavilion, Lord Qin Xuan."

"Qin Xuan?" Lian Baitang frowned and groaned, vaguely remembering that this Qin master was both civil and martial arts, and he was a famous man in the world, and he was also from the Qin family in Jiangnan. He is the youngest scholar of Mandarin Court in the court. Full-time tutoring the prince Zhu Gaochi to study, is a proper princeling. With the prestige of the Qin family among the princes in the world, Qin Xuan has accumulated a lot of popularity for the crown prince Zhu Gaochi.

If he remembers correctly, Qin Jian will call him the third uncle!

Bai Tang couldn't help but smile slightly: It's a coincidence.
