Chapter 9: The Beginning
"Seeing that my sister is also a tea taster, what do you think of this tea?"
Yunyi's warm smile made the strings in Huaxi's heart tighten, and she couldn't get rid of her original habits, she hadn't drunk kung fu tea for so many years, and she was happy when she saw it, but her subconscious actions made people see the flaws.
"This ......," Huaxi smiled shyly, "My sister can't say it well, she rarely drinks tea before." Just now, I thought that this tea soup was clear and bright and beautiful, and the entrance was more mellow than the tea made by the girl there on weekdays, plus it was sent by Sister Xiao Wu, so I think it should be good tea, right? ”
Xiao Wu's smile became brighter and brighter, "Huaxi knows the goods, and knows that what my sister and I give out are all good things." This is this year's tribute to the big red robe, I sent half a catty from my father to Sister Yi, just to have a drink. ”
Yun Ning followed and said: "My sister doesn't know, the Sanqing tea made by the fourth sister is a must, and it is best to drink it when it snows in winter." Tsk, and the fourth sister's set of Sanqing tea is also a rarity, and the baby is not allowed to be seen by others on weekdays......"
"What is this rarity? Why haven't I seen it? Xiao Wu asked.
"There is an inscription on it by the prince of Luodong...... Yun Ning picked a candied fruit from the plate and put it in his mouth, looking at Yun Yi with a smile.
Xiao Wu was stunned and looked at Mu Yunyi with an ambiguous expression.
Huaxi watched from the sidelines, the nature of women, digging gossip and scandals anytime and anywhere.
Yun Yiqiao's face flew a shy flush, and she glanced at Yun Ning and said, "How long is this?" Xiao Wu, are you waiting for someone from the family to urge? The clear and moist recipe still asked Sister Huaxi to help you transcribe it? ”
"Oh, yes. I'm tired of Sister Huaxi! ”
"Fifth Sister Xiao is polite."
Yunyi instructed the maid to prepare a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and Huaxi transcribed a recipe for refreshing the mind and moist incense. Xiao Wu got the recipe, thanked Huaxi again, ate another cup of tea, and hurriedly said goodbye.
Yun Ning sat for a while and said that she was tired, and wanted to go back to her yard, and when she left, she asked Huaxi when she would be able to make the incense. Huaxi Road just has spices in hand, and it can be done in one day. Yun Ning was overjoyed, thanked him and left.
Xiao Wu and Yun Ning are gone, and Huaxi also wants to leave.
Yun Yi said to stay, "My sister's Qixia Garden is not far from me, sit down and then leave." ”
Huaxi couldn't refute, so she had to continue to sit.
"The apricot blossom poem I heard on the road just now was made by my sister?"
Hearing Mu Yunyi's question, Huaxi shook her head and said in a low voice: "I saw it in the codex left by my mother." ”
Mu Yunyi said that she remembered the sadness of her deceased mother, and no longer mentioned the source of the poem, but asked some books that Huaxi liked to read on weekdays.
Huaxi replied: "It's all left by my mother, and most of them are women's rules, poems, and the like." What does my sister watch on weekdays? ”
"My father is not in Beijing all the year round, but my mother does not restrict me, I borrow books from my third brother in my spare time, and I read miscellaneous books. What does my sister want to see? Maybe I can find a few more books here? ”
"Sister, do you have anyone here who talks about history or geography?" Huaxi was worried that she couldn't find a place to borrow books, and Mu Yunyi's mention was right in the middle.
"My sister's preferences are not ordinary, I don't have anything like that here. Wait for me to send someone to the third brother to ask, and send it to my sister tomorrow. ”
Huaxi was happy on her face and took Yunyi's hand, "Thank you, Fourth Sister, I have lived in the mountains for more than ten years, and I don't know what ...... is outside."
Yun Yi suddenly felt that she was speechless, and said with a smile: "My sister is polite." ”
"It's not too early, Huaxi will go back first, and I have to make incense for the seventh sister."
Huaxi got up to say goodbye, and Mu Yunyi sent her out of the garden gate, but there was no shadow of the red willow.
Mu Yunyi saw that Huaxi's face was calm and there was nothing unpleasant, so she pointed to the big girl Frangipani and sent her back.
……
Huaxi returned to Qixia Garden, appreciated a gardenia sachet of frangipani, cleaned his hands and face and went to the incense room.
Take the five coins of Jatamansi, Xiong five coins, and musk two points, Huaxi one by one grinds into powder and puts it in the stone mortar, adds refining honey to reconcile, rubs it into a smooth and clean ball the size of a marble, and puts it in the blue and white porcelain box of Yuxi Lotus.
By the time the flower stream was ready, the fragrance of apricot blossoms was almost dusk.
As the sun sets, the bamboo forest behind the house is dyed pale gold, and the breeze blows in the forest, and the bamboo shadows are swaying.
Huaxi stretched her waist, lying on the edge of the window, smelling the shallow bamboo fragrance, she used to lie on her balcony so comfortably to watch the sunset in the yard of Xiangfei bamboo, as if someone was whispering love words in her ears.
She smiled self-deprecatingly, hehe, but unfortunately everything was like a dream.
Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and where there are rivers and lakes, there are rights and wrongs. The same is true for changing planes.
Huaxi stroked her forehead, thinking of the many people she had seen in the afternoon, she was really a little tired, and they all had their own thoughts, none of them were simple.
Huaxi went out of the incense room to the bedroom, and the red willow had already returned.
Seeing Huaxi coming in, Hongliu rushed to meet Lilac and helped Huaxi take off her coat and change into a homely plain dress.
"Girl, just now in the Hexiang Courtyard, the slave maid was called by Mother Wang to reply. Later, the girl and the fourth girl left, and the slave maid went to Xiaofeng Garden again, and was stopped by Jinxiu next to the third grandmother on the way and talked for a long time. When you arrived at Xiaofeng Garden, the little girl said that you had come back, and the slave and maid hurried back and you entered the incense room again......"
"That's it. I don't blame you either. Huaxi took the tea pot from Lilac's hand and took a sip, "The fourth sister sent Frangipani to send me back, and nothing happened on the way." ”
Huaxi raised her eyes and saw that Hongliu was stunned for a moment, and said: "According to the usual halt for three months, although the Hou Ye was buried in advance, the days still have to be full before people can buy people in, and when the day comes, Mother Wang will send people over." Hengzhu, you came out of the old lady's house, and you have to go back when that time comes, Lilac and Liu's mother have just arrived, and there are many things that are still due to the appearance of my sister. At that time, Huaxi will show herself to the old lady. ”
What is clear? A slave and maid of his own threw the girl to gossip with others? The girl doesn't say it, but there are others to talk about. Even if she is not a serious lady of the Mu family, she deserves the attention of the old lady, and she can't be despised by herself. Today, Wang's mother also explained that she should serve her well, and maybe she will have to follow in the future. If that is true, you will have to rely on him in the future. happened to be found by the girl in Jinxiu, and what she said was somewhat related......
Hongliu thought for a moment, bowed her head and admitted her mistake, "Girl, today is the slave's fault, and you shouldn't be left alone in the garden." The slave and maid broke the rules, please punish the girl! ”
"Sister Hongliu, what did she say, my girl has a soft temperament, but she didn't say a word to punish you. When you spread it, you thought the girl had mistreated you. Lilac pouted beside her, wiping the countertop with a cloth towel, but the cloth towel was spinning in place for a long time.
Lilacs aren't so sharp on weekdays, what's wrong today? But what I said is just right, my weakness does not mean weakness, Hongliu wants to pinch me, but also to check whether he is strong enough.
Huaxi drank the cloves: "I don't understand the rules so much, what do you say about the master, go to the incense room and grind the spices I prepared into powder." ”
Lilac pouted and went to the incense room, and Huaxi turned to Hongliu and said, "Hongliu, you can go down and get busy." Don't take Lilac's words to heart, she is not sensible, you can teach her more in the future. ”
"Yes, slave maid, let's go see if dinner is ready." Red Willow retreated.
Seeing her leave, Huaxi went to the incense room, and when she entered the door, she saw Lilac wiping her tears with a handkerchief, and sighed, "Say, what did Hongliu tell you before I entered the house?" ”
