Chapter 42: The Tea Cup

The trees in the garden have all drawn their buds, and the tender yellow spring flowers are blooming by the lake, which looks very fresh and lovely.

At this moment, it was the end of the day, but the smoke was billowing from the big kitchen in the Lu Mansion, and the sound of laughter from the daughter's house came out.

"You stupid girl, you don't even distinguish between sugar and salt, which man will dare to eat what you make in the future!"

Lu Tang held his stomach and smiled, straightened his waist, and pointed at Cai Wei and said.

Cai Wei's hair was unkempt, her white face was stained with a little flour, and she smiled and turned her head and said, "Then let's make some sugar cakes to eat first, and then make some salty ones later." ”

Pu Jia pursed her lips on the side, unaware that the tip of her nose was stained with flour, and only concentrated on fighting with the dough on the board.

The three of them tossed the kitchen into a mess, and finally got some reasonable cakes.

Lu Tang used a basket to hold some of it, and ordered the people in the kitchen to clean up the remnants, and then took Pu Jia and Cai Wei to the courtyard of the third young master Lu Jiu.

"Third brother, look at what I brought you!"

Lu Tang grinned happily, shouting and walking into Lu Jiu's yard.

In the house, a round-faced maid came out of the door curtain, which was the third brother's personal maid Lurong. At this time, her eyebrows drooped slightly, with a little sorrow in her eyes, and when she saw Lu Tang coming in, she only reluctantly pulled the corners of her mouth and smiled: "Miss is here." ”

Then he turned sideways with the curtain and respectfully let Lu Tang into the house.

There is incense burning in the house, which is made of frankincense, angelica, jamanpine and other medicinal materials under the orders of Imperial Doctor Shi, which has the effect of invigorating blood and removing blood stasis.

The curtain in the back room was lowered, and smoke curled in the air, and Lu Tang saw a figure sitting faintly at the table. He glanced at Pu Jia Caiwei and the others, and asked them to stay in the outhouse and wait with the two personal maids of Lu Rong and Bihe, and walked over with a smile and a basket.

"Third brother, do you guess I brought something delicious?"

Lu Tang grinned at the silent figure, lifted the layers of curtains and walked to the table. However, halfway through the game, she accidentally kicked something under her feet, and her bones rolled under the table.

Lu Tang paused, lowered his head and looked at his toes. When he looked up again, he had a smile on his face again.

"Let's talk about it first, the third brother is not allowed to laugh at what I made for a while."

As she spoke, she sat down at the table and smiled at a plate of cakes from the basket.

"This plum blossom is sweet, lotus leaf is salty, and round is green onion. Which one do you taste? ”

Lu Tang was elated to himself, and his eyes looked at the person across the table.

The person opposite sat sideways, his wide robe hanging empty on his body, looking ill-fitting. After a pause, the man spoke.

"It's hard work, sister."

The voice was hoarse, echoing through the silence of the room.

Lu Tang's eyes were slightly hot, but he smiled slightly coquettishly: "Third brother, try it." ”

There was silence in the room for a long time, and the man slowly turned around.

The person in front of him had sunken cheeks and a scruffy beard. A pair of slender fox eyes have lost their former brilliance, and they are as dull as fish eyes.

Lu Tang pushed the plate forward, lying on the table and staring at him, his eyes full of anticipation.

Lu Jiu slowly raised his left hand, took a lotus leaf-shaped cake, took a bite and chewed slowly.

"It's delicious."

He looked at Lu Tang with expectant eyes, a smile appeared on his face, and he wanted to reach out and touch her head.

However, as soon as the thought came to him, his heart suddenly ached, and his face turned pale.

Lu Tang didn't realize it, he only smiled and watched his third brother eat cakes, trying to find a teacup to pour water for him to drink, but when he looked around on the table, he only saw a lonely teapot.

Her face remained unchanged, the corners of her mouth still smiling, and her eyes quickly wandered around the room, and found a teacup in the corner of the room and beside the bed. His feet moved slightly, and he also felt the foreign object he had just kicked, and he spun around in a circle.

"My father got some good Mingqian Longjing, I grinded for a long time to ask for some, if I let Sister Lurong soak in, let us try it."

Lu Tang pretended to smile at Lu Jiu relaxedly, and then called: "Pu Jia, go to my room and fetch the dragon well before Ming." ”

The third young master Lu Yu swallowed the cake in his mouth, and his slender eyes looked at Lu Tang quietly.

"Sister Lurong in your room is top-notch in the house, except for Xiao Shu next to the second brother, no girl can compare to her. This dragon well is not buried in her hands. ”

Lu Tang was a little panicked by the slender fox eyes, so he reached out and took a lotus leaf-shaped cake, lowered his eyes and took a big bite.

"Phew!"

She hurriedly spit out the bread in her mouth, and her bitter face was wrinkled.

Lu Yu on the opposite side continued to eat the cake unconsciously, Lu Tang hurriedly put down the cake in his hand when he saw this, leaned over and snatched the cake from his hand, and threw it on the ground.

"This cake is so bitter, why does the third brother still eat it?"

Lu Tang flattened his mouth and said aggrievedly.

"It's not bitter."

Lu Yu smiled slightly, bent down and picked up the half of the cake that Lu Tang threw from the ground.

Lu Tang only felt sour in his heart, and took advantage of Lu Jiu to bend down to pick up the cake, quickly wiped his eyes, but said with a smile: "The third brother will really comfort me." ”

There was a sound of the door curtain stirring in the outer room, and Lu Rong walked over with a tea tray.

"Third young master, miss, the tea is ready."

"Bring it here."

Lu Tang looked at Lu Jiu and saw that he had no intention of making a sound, so he opened his mouth and commanded.

Over there, Lu Rong walked inside with a tea tray, and Bihe and Caiwei helped to open the layers of curtains.

"This tea is so fragrant, no wonder my father was stingy and only gave me a small packet."

Lu Tang took a deep sip of the tea fragrance, wrinkled his nose and grimaced at Lu Jiu.

"It's really good tea."

When Lu Yu saw his sister's grimace, he couldn't help but smile on his lips and nodded lightly.

Lu Rong was a little surprised to see his young master smiling, holding the tea tray with tears in his eyes. Bihe gave Lu Tang a grateful look, and reached out to put the well-bar purple sand teapot and teacup on the tea tray on the table one by one.

Lu Tang saw Bihe set up the tea set, and picked up the blue and white painted carp pattern teapot on the table before, and glanced at her imperceptibly.

Bihe lowered her eyes and stopped looking for the matching teacup, and went out of the room with Lu Rong.

"Third brother, try it."

Lu Tang poured a cup of tea for Lu Jiu with a smile and handed it over.

Lu Jiu subconsciously stretched out his right hand to catch it, but he couldn't hold it steadily, and the teacup fell to the ground.

With Lu Tang's scream, the hot tea splashed everywhere, and the purple sand tea cup rolled far on the ground.

"Is it hurt?!"

Lu Yu hurriedly stood up, stretched out his left hand and took Lu Tang's hand to take a closer look.

After a closer look, he breathed a sigh of relief, raised his head and wanted to say something, but saw Lu Tang staring at him, and his eyes were already red.
