Chapter 38: The Fragrance of Tea (3)
Chonghua put the silver tea box on the table beside him and looked at Lu Chun gently: "In that case, bring the good tea you want to offer to me." ”
Lu Chun said a few words to the palace people, and sat down beside Chonghua with a smile.
The distance between the sits is very particular, separated by a distance of half a foot, which does not seem to be restrained, nor does it seem irreverent and reserved.
If Chonghua wants to make some affectionate little gestures, he can touch her as soon as he stretches out his hand, and if he is not interested in her, this distance is acceptable.
Chonghua's eyes flashed with a hint of interest, and he smiled: "You are a smart little fox." ”
Lu Chun pursed his lips and smiled: "The elders in the family also said this about concubines. ”
He asked Chonghua again: "Don't Your Majesty like smart women?" ”
Chonghua said: "Whether you are smart or not is innate, can I say that if you don't like it, you can become stupid immediately?" ”
"If Your Majesty doesn't like it, the concubine can pretend to be stupid. However, according to the concubines, His Majesty is not a monarch who cannot tolerate smart people. Lu Chunyan smiled at Yan Yan, and the wind and moon were bright.
Chonghua raised his eyebrows: "How can you see it?" ”
Lu Chun held Zhong Weiwei's hand and said with a smile: "Just look at Zhong Tong's history." At the beginning, the first emperor once praised her for her intelligence and good conduct in front of important ministers, and personally named her as the six-grade living room, and became the first female official of the foreign dynasty since the founding of my Li Dynasty, which shows that she is really smart.
His Majesty kept her by his side, and handed over to her the living notes of the inner palace and the outer court, and accompanied her for a long time, which shows that he really trusts her. If Your Majesty can't tolerate a wise man, how can it be? ”
"Noble people praise falsely." Zhong Weiwei half-lowered his eyes, with a faint smile on the corner of his lips, just thinking that he was a real outsider.
Lu Chun snorted: "How could Tong Shi's hands be so cold? Is it sick? ”
Chonghua snorted coldly: "She can eat, drink, sleep and play, she is as strong as a cow, will she get sick?" ”
Zhong Weiwei withdrew his hand from Lu Chun's palm: "Thank you for your concern, Xia Guan has never been sick, but was born like this." ”
Lu Chun said enthusiastically: "That's not good, the woman's hands and feet are cold, and she has a deficiency of cold qi in the palace, so she should take care of it seriously."
I have a recipe here, which has been passed down by the elders in the family, and I used it very well, how about giving you a copy? ”
Zhong Weiwei didn't have time to refuse, and heard Chonghua say impatiently: "Are you flattering me tonight, or are you flattering her?" Don't give it to her! ”
Lu Chun laughed: "Your Majesty, are you jealous?" It was the concubine who treated His Majesty slowly. The tea is here, does Your Majesty want to taste it? ”
The tea leaves given to Chonghua were packed in an elaborate carved gold dragon pattern tea box, and when the lid was opened, a faint fragrance flowed out.
Zhong Weiwei immediately recognized that this was the top of Cangshan Mountain, the smell of the thousand-year-old tea tree in the depths of the sea of clouds.
Since leaving Cangshan, she has never drunk this tea, she couldn't help but stretch her neck to look over, but saw Chonghua stingy sideways, blocking her with her body and not showing her.
Zhong Weiwei retracted his gaze and said, "Your Majesty, nobleman, if there are no other orders, the lower official will retire." ”
Chonghua didn't hear it, Lu Chun smiled and said: "I heard that Zhong Tong is good at tea ceremony, and the timing is right tonight, so why don't you show your hands and feet and cook tea soup for Your Majesty." I'm cheeky enough to have a drink. ”
Zhong Weiwei was respectful and obedient: "Obey." ”
Chonghua said coldly: "Good tea is rare, how can you try it casually?" Since it is the tea you offered, you will cook it for me. ”
It's not that no one cares about him without her, and he hasn't survived without the tea soup cooked by her Zhong Weiwei in the past few years.
"Obey the holy order, but Your Majesty should not think the concubines are stupid."
Lu Chun glanced at Zhong Weiwei apologetically, and went to take the silver tea box that was taken away by Chonghua before: "Zhong Tongshi go outside to try tea, I'll have someone prepare a tea set for you." ”
Chonghua slammed down on the silver box, furrowed his brows, and became angry: "Didn't you hear what I said before? She has no merit or merit, and she is not worthy of a reward. You have repeatedly shown favor to her, do you want to hook up with your close ministers? ”
"Your Majesty forgives your sins, the concubines just want to make Your Majesty happy, and they don't think about it so much." Lu Chun was so frightened that he smiled, knelt down and pleaded guilty.
Zhong Weiwei knelt down, touched the ground with his head, and didn't say a word.
Chonghua looked at her as if she was humble, but in fact her back was straight, and suddenly there was a burst of irritability, and she said with a gloomy face: "Get out!" ”
Zhong Weiwei got up and withdrew, thoughtfully closed the door for the two, and didn't look inside from beginning to end.
Zhao Hongtu looked at her worriedly, Zhong Weiwei just didn't see it, calmly walked to the back of a few cases and sat down, waiting for orders.
The palace people gently opened the door of the hall and sent all kinds of exquisite tea sets into it one by one, and some people brought the white-glazed wind stove with a charcoal fire inside.
The strong aroma of tea baking tea cakes came from the hall, the tea mill was grinding back and forth, and the boiling mountain spring water gurgling.
Chonghua lowered his head to brew tea, order tea, and divide tea, and Lu Chun praised repeatedly: "Your Majesty's good tea skills!" Is it a picture of a fishing boat singing at night? Please allow Your Majesty, the concubine also wants to share tea for you. ”
Webster and Lu's are the two major families that have been in control of the latter for a long time, and their daughters are more expensive than their sons, and the daughters they have raised are very outstanding.
Since Lu Chun dared to take the initiative to ask for help, it means that her tea skills are very outstanding.
First of all, he didn't apply the fat powder, and greeted him with old clothes, indicating that he had never watched the holy drive.
Show kindness to yourself again, and express gentleness, kindness and generosity.
Offer good tea, cook and perform with your own hands, and invest in what you like.
Lu Chun was a smart man, at least much smarter than Wei Rou.
Zhong Weiwei analyzed calmly, and wrote on the paper: "On the night of July 27, the twelfth year of Baoyuan, the emperor came to the Xing Slow Cloud Palace, talked with Concubine Lu very happily, and cooked tea under the west window. Concubine Lu is famous, soft and talented, and good at tea ceremony......"
beckoned to Nushi to come over: "Go and ask Lu Guiren what the picture of the soup flower he conjured up just now is?" ”
The female Shi Yiyan went to find the palace attendants beside Lu Chun to inquire, and Lu Chun asked, "What's the matter?" ”
The palace man replied: "Zhong Tongshi is recording the living notes of the inner court, and asked His Majesty and the nobles what the soup flowers that they conjured up looked like. The slave maid has already informed the female history. ”
Lu Chun praised Zhong Weiwei: "Zhong Tongshi is really conscientious and meticulous. ”
Chonghua's eyelashes trembled, he pushed the tea bowl depressedly, and said lightly: "It's not early, it's time to rest." ”
Lu Chun's heart was beating like a drum, and he grabbed his collar nervously, shyly and timidly: "Yes......"
Listen to Chonghua again: "Let Zhong Weiwei come in and serve." ”
