Chapter 57: The First Musician in Lincheng
Ten days later, Xuanyuan Mansion.
"Sister Ling'er, is this flower pot here?" Mo Li asked the girl on the side.
"Yes, that's it, you finish this area and clean up the stone pavilion, and it will be time for the young master to taste tea in a while." The maid named Ling'er replied.
"Okay, Sister Ling'er, I'll go."
Mo Li straightened the flower pot, clapped his hands and walked towards the stone pavilion.
"Li'er"
It just so happened that at this time, Xuanyuan Qian also came from not far away, and when he saw Mo Li, he called out.
"Young Master Qianyi" Mo Li saw that it was Xuanyuan Qianyi, and hurriedly bowed and replied.
"Are you feeling better?"
Getting closer, Xuanyuan Qian also asked towards Mo Li.
"It's been around for a long time, you see"
Saying that, Mo left his heart and turned around in front of Xuanyuan Qianyi, indicating that he was no longer in trouble.
"That's good, the letter you handed over to Zhuye was delivered a few days ago, but there hasn't been any response yet." Xuanyuan Qian also led Mo Li to sit down in the stone pavilion and spoke.
"Oh, Li'er already knows."
"But don't think about it, maybe your sister is too busy to reply, and there will be news in a few days." Seeing that Mo Li was a little lost, Xuanyuan Qian also comforted.
"That's right"
Then Xuanyuan Qianyi changed his words, I am going to inspect the property of the house in the past few days, if you are bored, you can accompany me, it just so happens that I am too boring alone.
"Really?"
Hearing Xuanyuan Qianyi's words, Mo Li's eyes lit up, and he said with a happy face.
"Of course"
Looking at Mo's heart, Xuanyuan Qian also smiled and said.
Under Mu Xuan's favor, Mo Li's girlish heart gradually germinated like the tender grass in spring, and she couldn't bear the lonely days in the Water Pavilion before, so when she heard Xuanyuan Qianyi's words, her face was quickly happy, but then it quickly dissipated.
"Young Master, this ...... Not so good."
Although she really doesn't want to stay in the house all day with nothing to do, either sweeping the floor or fiddling with flowers and plants, this kind of time is really boring for her, but after getting along with the maid Ling'er and them in the past few days, Mo Li gradually understands what etiquette is and what is dignity and orderliness.
Recalling his behavior when he got along with His Second Highness and Third Highness before, Mo Li felt that what the Emperor and Queen Mother said was also reasonable, and she was indeed a little unworthy of Mu Xuan, not only because of her identity, but also because she didn't know anything about the etiquette necessary for this young lady, and the future road of love between her and Mu Xuan that broke the traditional class thinking was destined to be extremely difficult.
"What's bad, as long as you want, I didn't say that I wouldn't let you call me, I sound awkward, you still call me Brother Qianyi." Xuanyuan Qian also thought for a moment
"Just call me Brother Qianyi, I'm a few years older than you, and you won't be at a loss."
"No, no, the young master has a noble status, how can Li'er ......" Mo Li hurriedly shook his head and said.
"What kind of bullshit status, it's so decided, I'm a bohemian person, I don't like those red tape or something, I'll know after I've been with me for a long time, follow Brother Qianyi to eat whatever you want, say whatever you want, don't care about those who have it."
Xuanyuan Qian also smiled heartily, and then reached out to pick up the teapot on the stone table.
"Come and taste the newly harvested tea this year, this is the world-famous tea of our Xuanyuan Mansion, you must not have drunk it."
"Young master, ah, no...... Brother Qianyi, just leave the child by yourself" Looking at Xuanyuan Qianyi frowning, Mo Li hurriedly changed his words and refused.
However, Xuanyuan Qian also stretched out his hand and motioned for Mo Li to sit down,
"This tea making is not simple, there is a lot of knowledge in it, you can look at it."
As he spoke, Xuanyuan Qian gradually slowed down the movements in his hand.
"First, you need to heat the teacup with hot water, and then use your thumb, index finger and middle finger to pinch the tea leaves."
Xuanyuan Qian also said, with an extremely elegant posture, he reached out and took out an appropriate amount of tea from the tea bag, looking at Mo Li's ignorant expression, Xuanyuan Qian also chuckled.
"The order of this tea is also exquisite, in summer you should pour water first, and then put tea leaves, in winter, you should put tea first, and then pour water, in spring and autumn, it is advisable to pour half a cup of water and then put tea leaves, and then pour full water."
"Yes"
Mo Li nodded his head blankly.
"The next thing is this brewing, when you brew the tea, you have to slowly move the spout from low to high to make tea, like this."
Xuanyuan Qian also picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea into the teacup.
"Oh, Li'er understands, thank you, Brother Qianyi."
Mo Li smirked as if he didn't understand, and was about to pick up the teacup as he spoke.
"Wait"
Xuanyuan Qian also spoke, and said slowly under the gaze of Mo Li's confused eyes, "Silly Li'er, the tea can't be drunk just after it is brewed, you have to wait for a quarter of an hour for the fragrance of the tea to really dissolve in the water, and the taste is the best at this time." ”
"Ahh
Mo Li touched the back of his head awkwardly and smirked.
Moment,
"Alright, now it's okay."
Xuanyuan Qian also picked up the teacup in front of Mo Li, "How about it taste?"
"Yes"
Mo Li slowly took the teacup with some flattery and took a sip gently.
"How?" Xuanyuan Qian also looked at Mo Li expectantly.
"Well, the entrance is not astringent, the lips and teeth are fragrant, it is the best tea Li'er has ever drunk."
"Hehe, as long as Li'er thinks it's delicious, I'll send someone to send some to your room later." Hearing the answer he wanted, Xuanyuan Qian also smiled at Mo Li.
"No need, Li'er doesn't know much about tea, and these teas will be wasted in Li'er's hands."
"What are you talking about, what is a waste, didn't Brother Qianyi teach you, and it's just some tea leaves, and it's not a treasure."
Seeing what Mo Li wanted to say, Xuanyuan Qian also hurriedly spoke: "By the way, Li'er, today I invited the most famous Huo musician in the city, I heard that he was once called to play music for the current emperor, his skills can be described as exquisite, how about let's appreciate and analyze together?" ”
"I ......"
"That's it"
As soon as Mo Li wanted to speak, Xuanyuan Qianyi's words followed, and Mo Li was not allowed to have half a chance to refuse.
"Someone, go and ask for a musician." Xuanyuan Qian also commanded the guards beside him with excitement on his face.
Seeing that Xuanyuan Qianyi was also in high spirits, Mo Li couldn't bear to sweep away his interest and sat down quietly.
Soon, an old man with pale sideburns walked slowly from a distance, and when he got closer, he could find that although his face was full of wrinkles, his expression was extremely arrogant, and his eyes were empty, and he looked at Mo Li and Xuanyuan Qianyi in the stone pavilion for a while.
"Master Huo Le's hard work from afar, please take a seat."
"Yes"
Huo Leshi bowed slightly, and then sat down in front of the stone platform.
Huo Leshi's arrogant attitude made Xuanyuan Qianyi frown slightly,
"I have heard for a long time that Master Huo is proficient in music, I wonder if I will have the honor to appreciate it today?"
"Okay"
After a long time, just when Xuanyuan Qian was also a little displeased, Huo Le Shi said slightly.
"Someone, for Huo Leshi Buqin." Xuanyuan Qian also commanded to the people beside him.
"Hurry, hurry," a group of maids shouted to the people around them as they ran.
"What's wrong, what's going on over there?" Some unknown maids asked at him.
"You don't know yet? The young master invited Huo Leshi in the city to play the piano, Huo Leshi is usually difficult for ordinary people to even see each other, and he still has the opportunity to appreciate it today. With that, the maid who had been stopped quickly returned to the running procession.
"Wait for me, I'll go too."
