Yuan Tianye's study is located in the east cross courtyard of his main courtyard. This is Lin Xiaozhu's first time coming. I saw a tall banyan tree planted in this courtyard, and a two-story small building with blue bricks and tiles, looming in the dense forest and bamboo. Not far from the small building is a pond, the lotus leaves are spread with flowers covering most of the pond, lined with the jagged waterfront piled up with stones, one soft and one rigid, one delicate and one vicissitudes, just like a beauty with a hero, giving people an unusually harmonious beauty.

Lin Xiaozhu looked at this quiet and quiet place, and his heart, which was originally a little chaotic due to various speculations, also calmed down at this time.

At this time, in Yuan Tianye's study, Yuan Cheng was standing opposite Yuan Tianye, with a face full of disapproval: "Childe, haven't you always had doubts about Lin Xiaozhu's performance?" It is always said that she is not at all like an ignorant person who comes out of the mountains. Although we have never been able to find out why she is different, her performance is always not so reassuring. It's too dangerous for you to keep her by your side as a cook! If you let the prince know, I don't want to blame you, but I have to blame my subordinates for concealing it. Also, don't blame your subordinates for not reminding you, you inquired about Yu and Lao Wang this time, so obviously favoring Lin Xiaozhu, then Mama Wu went back to mention it to the princess, your ears, I'm afraid it won't be quiet again. Tsk, my subordinates can't figure it out, Son, you obviously know that the princess will be unhappy if she does this, and she may spill her anger on Lin Xiaozhu when the time comes, and you still do this, are you doing this for her? ”

Yuan Tianye glanced at him, and wrote something like a flying pen, while saying: "If she really has any bad intentions, she will definitely pretend to be loyal, and where will she bluntly tell me that she wants to redeem herself." Besides, I trust my instincts, this girl. Although sometimes it is more unique and not docile, there is absolutely no double heart. As for what you said about inquiring about the rain, she didn't know her well, and she followed me here, and others wanted to harm her, so could I still be silent? If I don't stand up and protect her, will I let others bully her? As for the princess, there is your prince's villa, what else does the princess not know? As long as I don't mention marrying Lin Xiaozhu as a concubine. I guess the princess wishes there was a woman by my side who could take care of me. ”

"Childe, Childe, you haven't lived with a woman, and you really don't know a woman's mind. The princess likes the person who hopes to take care of you, I'm afraid it's listening to the rain. It's good for you to listen to the rain for Lin Xiaozhu. The princess may not know how much she hates Lin Xiaozhu in her heart. Yuan Cheng shook his head with infinite emotion as he pouted.

"It's because I know my mother's thoughts that I beat Tingyu." Yuan Tianye buried himself in writing, but he didn't care about authenticity.

"This ......," Yuan Cheng pondered for a moment. Raising his eyes, he smiled and said, "Childe, forgive your subordinates for being stupid and don't understand the mystery of this." Tell me about it. ”

"It's not a mystery." Yuan Tianye raised his hand and dipped it in ink. "I just want my mother to understand that this wife is my own business. Who do I want to marry. Whoever I want to live with for the rest of my life has to make up my own mind. I can't compromise myself just because I want to follow her wishes, to make her happy. My mother has fucked me all my life, and I can't let myself live too suffocatingly, and I believe that this is not my mother's original intention. ”

Then he said: "Besides, listening to the rain is because I understand the princess's thoughts, which gives birth to those wishful thoughts." If I don't make a heavy move, I don't know how many means are waiting for Lin Xiaozhu next. Xiaozhu Rao is smart, this heart is not black enough. The hands are not ruthless enough, and the life is not familiar, where can I fight these women who grew up in deep houses? I don't know how many grievances I will have to suffer at that time. She wanted to redeem herself. This will be wronged again, and when the time comes, ......"

Speaking of which. He withdrew his hand and stared at the air in front of him in a daze, his eyes dazed, not even knowing that the ink dipped in the tip of the pen had dripped onto the paper.

"Childe......" Yuan Cheng called and pointed to the pen and paper.

Yuan Tianye looked down and saw the ink that had been dyed on the rice paper, smiled bitterly, put the pen down, grabbed the paper, crumpled it into a ball, and threw it into the paper basket next to his feet.

Yuan Wei wanted to remind his son that the princess would never agree to let him marry Lin Xiaozhu as his wife. Seeing this scene at this moment, I had to sigh secretly in my heart and didn't dare to mention it again. Then he changed the topic and said: "Lin Xiaozhu is almost here." But Childe, although Lin Xiaozhu's tea tasting skills are really good, this should be a natural ability, how can she teach others? ”

Yuan Tianye took a piece of paper again, picked up the pen and began to write, while saying: "She can not only taste the difference, but also describe the feeling without any difference." If you change someone else, you don't have the ability to do it at all. Zhou Rou's sense of taste is not bad, and if she trains like this for a few more days, her level should be able to improve a lot. Moreover, it's not that you don't know Lin Xiaozhu's girl's ability, and she can do something amazing at any time. Maybe in the tea ceremony, she can also have some different opinions, which is refreshing and bright. Isn't that what we want? ”

"That's right." Yuan Cheng stroked his beard, then laughed, and said with emotion, "I really can't imagine that Zhong Yugui is a general who is five big and three thick, but he likes to play chess and taste tea, which is an elegant thing that literati like." In the past, we always fought for it on a large scale, and even Li Anyuan, who was dispatched, only talked to him about the art of war and the political situation. If it weren't for Lin Xiaozhu's reminder this time, we wouldn't have known about this hobby that Zhong Yugui was hiding in secret. ”

This time, Yuan Tianye didn't answer his words again, concentrated on writing the words in his hand, and handed it to Yuan Cheng after drying it, and said: "There is not much opium used by King Duan, you give this letter to Yuan Lin, and let him contact that side quickly." Duanwang's drug addiction is not deep yet, if it is broken at this time, we will give up all our efforts. ”

"Don't worry, Childe, Yuan Lin has contacted that side once, and nothing will go wrong." Yuan Cheng took it and carefully folded it into his arms. As soon as the paper was put away, the footsteps of two people of different severities were heard not far away.

"Childe, Lin Xiaozhu, please arrive." Yuan Shi stopped at the steps and said in a loud voice.

"Come in." Yuan Tianye looked out the door.

Yuan Shi at the foot of the steps made a gesture to Lin Xiaozhu, took a few steps back, and stood guard outside the corridor.

Lin Xiaozhu slowly walked into the study and saw Yuan Tianye sitting behind the tall bookcase, on which some books and the four treasures of the study were neatly placed; Behind him, a bookshelf full of books covered an entire wall, from top to bottom, from left to right. Opposite Yuan Tianye, there was a person sitting, but it was Yuan Cheng, who he hadn't seen for a long time. Yuan Cheng saw Lin Xiaozhu coming in, stood up and arched his hand, and said with a smile: "Congratulations to the girl, for becoming the first female guest in the child's study." ”

"Uncle Yuan Cheng, I haven't seen you for a long time." Lin Xiaozhu saluted Yuan Tianye and Yuan Cheng. Then he said with a smile: "Uncle Yuan Cheng's congratulations, Xiaozhu is afraid to take it." ”

"What do you mean by that?" Yuan Cheng's eyes were full of interest. Yuan Tianye also looked at Lin Xiaozhu with a smile.

"An honor also means a responsibility. Uncle Yuan Cheng, as a person who often goes in and out of Gongzi's study, should have the deepest understanding of this. Lin Xiaozhu said with a smile.

"Haha, indeed, indeed. The little bamboo girl broke the true meaning in one word. Yuan Cheng stroked his beard and laughed.

After the politeness, Lin Xiaozhu smiled slightly, bowed his hand, and said to Yuan Tianye: "I don't know what the son called Xiaozhu here and what he ordered." ”

Yuan Tianye looked at Lin Xiaozhu, also restrained the smile on his face, and said solemnly: "Lin Xiaozhu, my son wants to send you away for a few days to teach a girl to become a tea master, you may be able to do it?" This matter is a matter of great importance to me, and it must not be perfunctory. ”

Lin Xiaozhu was quite surprised, and said in slight surprise: "Childe, why me?" You know, I didn't learn the art of tea. ”

"I heard Gongzi say that Tang Gongzi once made a bet with the girl to taste tea, and the girl was able to explain the nuances of different water and different teas in the slightest. This kind of kung fu, except for one person, Yuan Cheng has not heard that anyone else can do it. Yuan Chengdao.

Yuan Tianye didn't wait for Lin Xiaozhu to speak again, and said, "I understand what you mean." The person who learns tea with you is also sensitive in taste, not the kind of rotten wood that cannot be carved. You just need to add a little more to her skills and you're good to go. ”

"Xiaozhu obeys." Lin Xiaozhu gave a salute.

"Time is pressing, now you can go with Yuan Cheng." Yuan Tianye looked at her deeply, "You remember, the shorter the time it takes, the better. In addition to taste, if you have any other experience, you might as well teach her more. ”

"Yes." Lin Xiaozhu bowed in response and turned his face to look at Yuan Cheng.

Yuan Cheng took out a bottle from his arms and handed it to Lin Xiaozhu, "Miss Xiaozhu, put it under your nose and sniff it." Rest assured, it will not be harmful to the body. ”

Lin Xiaozhu knew that it was a drug. She never wants to know more about secrets. So without hesitation, I put the bottle under my nose, took a deep breath, and then my mind dizzy, and I didn't know anything. And on her, a middle-aged woman appeared at some point, reached out and held her in her arms.

"Childe, this time you said that she didn't have two hearts, and I believed my subordinates. Just by her frank nature of not asking anything, she knows that she is a person who has no ghosts in her heart. Yuan Cheng sighed softly.

"Okay, no more nonsense, let's go." Yuan Tianye glanced at Lin Xiaozhu a little greedily, and then pressed the switch out of nowhere, and the bookshelf behind him suddenly turned, revealing the wall behind him; After a while, the unremarkable wall suddenly moved, revealing a hole.

"Childe, my subordinates say goodbye." Yuan Cheng arched his hand to Yuan Tianye, and took the woman holding Lin Xiaozhu into the hole in the wall. Seeing this, Yuan Tianye stomped under the bookcase with his foot, the wall closed, and the bookshelf returned to its original state. He stared at the hole and didn't look away for a long time.
