Chapter 42 Flower Viewing Party II
Yunyan still understands very well, and moved out Princess Yongning and Lord Heni to excuse herself, but it's a pity that Xifu wants to entertain this woman who doesn't want to pay attention to it at all.
When the three of them came to the East Fence Courtyard, they saw a large number of chrysanthemums, the flowers were very full, warm, all kinds of varieties, all kinds of colors were readily available, especially those precious varieties, which had no pressure at all on the wealthy Zhennan Wangfu.
"Miss Yin, how about taking a look at this pot of golden-backed red?" Yongning pointed to a pot of golden-backed red on the ground. Yunyan replied with a smile: "It's beautiful, but it's not as good as the white peony." "Although the white peony is called the white peony, it is not a peony flower, but a variety of chrysanthemum, and unlike the rich golden-backed red and the common swan dance, it is not precious, but white and flawless, like a fairy. If you have to say it, Yunyan still prefers this, and the history of the Song Dynasty has a poem: the courtyard is open like snow overnight, and the fragrance is a medicine diagnosis. It can be seen that this white chrysanthemum is not only as white as snow, but also can be used as medicine.
"Why?" Lord Heni asked softly. "Because white peony is not precious and can be found everywhere, it can cure more patients who need her." Yunyan said without thinking, and then smiled apologetically at Heni, "I'm sorry, County Lord, I lost my words."
The county lord of Heni was stunned, and smiled at her: "Please Miss Yin don't call the county lord in the future, Heni is just a title, Miss Yin will please call me Wenxin in the future." ”
Yunyan was stunned for a moment, and also laughed: "Okay, Wenxin." Then please also ask Wenxin to call me halal in the future. The friendship between girls starts by calling each other's names, obviously, she has recognized Yunyan as a friend, which is also the purpose of Yunyan's trip. Princess Yongning saw that her friend recognized Yunyan, so she also allowed Yunyan to call her name, "Then, call me Jingyi." "Princess Yongning is not a person who likes politeness very much, her personality is hearty and generous, and she really doesn't know who inherited it.
"Jing Yi, you just said that why don't you like the eldest princess?" Yunyan asked suspiciously, only to see that the eyes of Heni on the side were gloomy. Yongning glanced at Heni on the side and said: "Actually, the eldest brother has liked Wenxin for a long time, and they were about to ask their father for marriage, but they didn't expect the concubine of the General's Mansion to die, and the father gave marriage to the eldest brother in order to appease the general." ”
It turns out that Seventeen said that the person the eldest prince likes is Wenxin?! Yunyan has a few black lines on his face, the eldest prince and Wen Xin are cousins! Although in this kind of feudal dynasty, it is normal for close relatives to marry, but as a modern person, she is still very unaccustomed to it, and even very adaptable.
"Wen Xin doesn't like her, and I don't like her," Yongning said. "Isn't that woman a little self-aware? The daughter of a businessman, who is not yet a concubine, dares to claim to be knowledgeable and gentle and virtuous in the capital, and is the concubine of the General's Mansion, but who doesn't know that the real concubine of the General's Mansion is Yunyan, and it is rumored that she doesn't respect her sister at home, and she still stirs up rumors with King Xian outside. But he still has to pretend to be a victim, which is really convincing! "Yongning will put down her shelf once she is in front of familiar people, and now she is like this in front of Yunyan, obviously recognizing Yunyan.
And Yunyan also saw that she didn't want to talk to Ni much, and she had already got the information she wanted, so she changed the topic and said: "By the way, I heard that Wenxin is the most proficient in the tea ceremony, let's bring tea and tea set snacks to this pavilion, and enjoy and drink while playing, isn't it better?" "I heard that the old lady of the Suguo Mansion has no other hobbies, the most proficient is this tea art, the old lady's tea art can be called the top in the capital, although it is already a grandmother's generation, but in the capital, when it comes to tea art, you will still think of the exquisite tea art of this famous old lady, and the old lady herself taught Heni, tea art will not be bad.
As he spoke, he saw the eyes of the two beauties shining together, and said, "Okay." Heni was also a little excited, "The weather is cool in this golden autumn, and there are fewer people here, so it's very suitable for playing like this," he said, winking playfully, "I didn't expect Halal to be a good player!" ”
"Wenxin has won the award." Yunyan laughed. Soon, the tea and snacks were brought up, "Then please Wen Xinlu and let me open my eyes." ”
Lord Heni glared at her, first scooped up the tea leaves in the bamboo tube with a bamboo spoon, and said, "This is Longjing." As he spoke, he was just about to pick up the mountain spring water on the ground, when he heard someone speak: "Wenxin, is this performing a tea ceremony?" It turned out to be Xifu, "It's so dangerous, I almost missed it, and I haven't seen Wenxin's tea art for a long time, believe me, I won't disappoint." Yongning said helplessly: "You sit down first." ”
said to Yunyan on the side, "Wenxin's tea art, even if it's me, I like to watch it very much, and I won't let you down." "Princess Yongning is one of the very few daughters of nobles in Beijing who can do martial arts, and she is now under the personal guidance of General Deyang.
After a while, Heni's tea art began, only to see Heni pick up the tea, just look at the color of the tea and smell the smell of tea to judge what kind of tea it is, and later actions, from "peacock open screen" to "dragon playing in the water", the whole set of actions is like flowing water, at this time Heni is like a fairy, which makes people completely wash their hearts. This reminded Yunyan of Yang Lao, who was also so serious and meticulous when making tea, treating tea as if it were his own treasure. This is probably the resonance of people who like tea art, right?
Yunyan took the tea handed over by Heni, and saw that the "green leaves and red borders" in the cup were the best state of Longjing. Smell the fragrance of tea, it is even more refreshing, drink the first sip, first feel a faint bitter taste, but the fine aftertaste is very sweet, lips and teeth fragrant. It was not the same as the Qimen tea I brewed with Yang Lao last time, and I couldn't help but praise: "Good tea, Wenxin is so powerful!" But I saw a gloom in Heni's eyes. What's wrong with Wenxin? ”
"This time it was too hasty, there was no fasting and bathing, so this tea was not perfect enough." He Ni said, "If you are free at any time, come to my Suguo Mansion again, and I will definitely make better Keemun black tea for you." Listening to her tangled point here, even Yunyan was speechless, and could only enlighten: "Actually, it doesn't need to be too grand, if the tea has been so high, who will like it?" Moreover, such a perfect tea art is also the only time I have seen it in my life, thank you Wenxin. ”
Now Heni was praised by his friend and blushed: "Don't talk nonsense." ”
Everyone also expressed their praise for her tea art, which made Heni even more embarrassed. While the four of them were joking, a voice came from the side: "Hmph, who should I be, it turns out to be the merchant's daughter!" Don't think that if you can climb the high branch of the seventeenth brother, you are a member of the royal family, the royal family will never recognize the daughter of a businessman! ”
