Li lives in Chongyi Fang, the same aconite gate, and the porter saw that it was from the He family, so he was busy and courteously led in. 79 Free Reading Network 79 couldn't help but be a little curious. Inside, the hall building is five rooms and seven frames, and the gate houses at both ends of the hall are two frames, which is one level lower than the five rooms and nine frames and five rooms and five frames of Liu Jiaguan.

Xue thought of the four rooms and the second room of his little old surname, and couldn't help but sigh secretly, no matter how rich he was, he still couldn't live in such a magnificent room. Seeing her expression, knowing her intentions, she smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, the two nephews are both smart and love to read, and they will definitely be able to earn a life for you in the future." ”

Xue Shi smiled when he heard this, and still said modestly: "I'm afraid it's a little difficult for a brother like ours. "The younger brother of the eunuch's family, Meng Zuyin, or can be mixed into the official position after recommendation, but his own children have to work hard, and they may not be able to get a good position after exams. knows that it is difficult, but in this world, there is no mother who does not want to be Jackie Chan.

Peony pointed to the aconitum gate of the Li family and said with a smile: "Isn't this a ready-made example?" What others get, our sons and daughters of the He family can do the same. ”

Suddenly, I heard a woman laughing loudly: "That's right, as long as you are willing to work hard, are you afraid that you won't be able to show your strength?" I was timid before I did it, I really didn't look like you, when you first got married, it wasn't like this. As soon as the words fell, I saw a tall, plump, smiling middle-aged woman walking out like a whirlwind.

In Peony's impression, this is not Li Xun's mother - her cousin who is not close to her who goes around the mountains and rivers. While following He Dalang and Xue's saluting, he turned his gaze to He Zhizhong and Xue's inquiringly, who is this?

The woman stepped forward to help Xue Shi, and was not busy greeting He Zhizhong, but first looked at Peony and smiled sharply: "No need to ask, you must be Danniang." I heard about you when I came back, and I guessed that you would come to the door today, and sure enough, I guessed. ”

Seeing that Peony was confused, Xue Shi hurriedly said: "Danniang, you are young, I can't remember your cousin." 79 Free Reading Network 79 just came back not long ago. ”

Peony suddenly understood that this was Li Xun's aunt Li Manniang, who was said to be able to walk through Yang and like to raise lynx hunting, and couldn't help but be fascinated by it, secretly wondering if she would bring the lynx into Beijing with her, if only she could see and touch it, she hurriedly made a big gift: "Hello cousin." ”

Li Manniang smiled: "You are so slender, I'm afraid that you can't even ride a horse, right?" ”

Peony blushed a little when he thought of his unskilled riding skills, so he climbed up the pole: "I was not in good health a few years ago, so I delayed." If my cousin is free, teach my niece's daughter. ”

Li Manniang said happily: "What's so difficult about this? Wrap it up on me, but you have to suffer hardship, otherwise don't say that you are my Li Manniang's apprentice in the future. ”

He Zhizhong was free at this moment, and interjected: "Let's take a look." I wonder if he's better? What about the children's aunts? ”

Li Manniang said: "He has thick skin and thick flesh, it's okay, but his head is more seriously injured than his body, and my sister-in-law is accompanying the doctor to prescribe medicine, so I asked her to greet the guests." Brother-in-law, please. ”

Li Xun's courtyard is a small courtyard, and there are a few old ginkgo trees in front of the eye, with silver-white branches and emerald green leaves, lined with the blue sky, which is very beautiful. The porch is surrounded by bench railings, and more than a dozen vigorous peony flowers are planted in the open air under the porch. When the peony is in full bloom, as long as you sit on the porch, you can enjoy the peony up close, but it is extremely comfortable. The peonies only looked at it and recognized that they were all good seeds, He Zhizhong also noticed it, and only smiled: "In this Beijing, are there still people who don't like to plant peony flowers?" ”

Li Manniang also smiled: "I don't see it." ”

The little maid went in to report, a big girl wearing an ivory white silk short shirt, with a light green folded branch flower half arm, a light blue six-panel long skirt, white line shoes, combing her hair and a pretty face, saluted with a smile, and said: "I heard that the distinguished guest has arrived, and he is busy freshening up, and he also invites the distinguished guest to the tea house for a while." ”

Li Manniang smiled: "Bishui, but you make tea?" ”

The big maid smiled and said, "It's the slave." 79 Free Reading Network 79x."

The tea house in Li Xun courtyard is built on the side alone, the varnish carved partition window, the back of the house is a few from the bamboo repair, a Zhu Li tree in front of the house has hung fruit, just from the outside it is already very elegant. Compared with the luxury of the Liu family, it is elegant here. Da Lang smiled: "Look at this house, it makes me ashamed of myself." ”

Everyone stepped into the room with Ruyi, but saw that the ground was not an ordinary terrazzo brick, but a floor paved with varnished paulownia wood, a blue mattress woven of ice silk accounted for most of it, and a long coffee table was placed on it, and a set of Yuezhou celadon tea bowls as fine as jade were placed on it. On the right hand side, there is a square coffee table, which is full of a set of silver tea mills, tea Luo, salt tables, spoons and other things, and the side is an inch shorter, and a small red clay tea stove is placed, and a child is adding charcoal to it, preparing for sencha.

said that He Dalang sighed, even the well-informed He Zhizhong also sighed: "Xingzhi is actually an elegant person." ”

Li Manniang beckoned everyone to take off their shoes and take their seats, and said with a smile: "Bishui, take out the good tea, good water and your craftsmanship, and don't hide your secrets." ”

Bishui pursed his lips and smiled, leaned out and took down a silver knotted tea cage from the silk hanging from the beam, and said with a smile: "The water is from Huishan Spring in Changzhou, and the tea has Mengding stone flowers from Jiannan, purple bamboo shoots from Guzhu in Huzhou, and a small group from Dongchuan, I don't know which one my aunt likes?" ”

The He family also has good tea, but the Huishan Spring taken from Changzhou is really too much, He Zhizhong said with a smile: "Good tea and good water, guests are as good as they are." ”

Bishui looked at Li Manniang in embarrassment, and Li Manniang smiled: "It's good to fry the monttop stone flower tea." In that place in Youzhou, where can I get so much good tea? Brother-in-law, you don't blame me for being greedy, do you? ”

He Zhizhong laughed: "How come? But he asked Li Manniang in a low voice: "I heard that she has a sencha master, presumably she is it?" ”

Li Manniang bowed slightly: "It's her." ”

When Peony heard this, he concentrated on seeing how the blue water gave birth to sencha.

But when he saw that Bishui first dried the tea cakes made into small squares, then crushed them into fine powder with tea, carefully put water into the tea kettle, stared intently, and poured less, and when there were fish-eye-like bubbles on the water surface, he immediately opened the salt table and scooped a spoonful of salt with a silver spoon and added it, which was a boil.

Peony sighed secretly. Why do you have to add salt? I'm not used to drinking, I'm not used to drinking.

However, after a while, when the water was surrounded by beads like a spring, Bishui scooped a spoonful of water out for later use, then swirled in the water with a bamboo clip, and then put the tea powder into the center of the whirlpool. This is a diboil.

The tea is boiling, the foam is splashing, the water scooped out is added to the tea kettle to stop boiling, and the tea soup is quickly hit with a tea whisk to make it foam, the color of the tea soup is bright white, and the soup flowers are raised. This is boiling. At this time, Bishui removed the tea kettle from the tea stove and divided the tea into the tea cup. Her ten fingers are as slender as jade, her movements are extremely elegant, and the most rare thing is that the soup flowers are particularly evenly divided.

By this point everyone had been completely intoxicated, admired it, and each tasted it. Peony had never seen such a delicate way of sencha, and even if it was not to the taste, she carefully took a sip with reverence. At this time, it was popular to drink booze, and drinking tea was also booze, and Peony's movements were incompatible with everyone else, which attracted Bishui to look at her several times.

Li Manniang was so intoxicated that she drank it all in one go, and said with a smile: "The skill of blue water is really rare. Why don't you go to Youzhou with me? I will definitely treat you well. ”

Bi Shui didn't answer directly, saluted, and smiled gently: "Thanks to the lady for not giving up, the slave is not talented, but the carving insect is a small skill." I heard that there is a master of all-round communication in Tongsi, the new starting point of tea skills, can form birds, beasts, insects, fish, flowers and plants on the surface of the tea soup, delicate and picturesque, that is the art of Tongshen. ”

Li Manniang smiled slightly, raised her eyes to look out of the room, and said, "Why haven't you come yet?" ”

He Zhizhong said: "Don't call him if he is uncomfortable, let's sit down for a while, wait until my younger siblings are free, say thank you and leave." ”

As he was talking, Li Xun loosened his bun with a wooden hairpin, wore a lake blue gauze round-necked robe, stepped on double clogs under his feet, carried a silver bottle in his hand, and walked over with a smile on his face. ”

He Zhizhong said with a smile: "I heard that you were hit with a porcelain pillow on your head, and you were unconscious, so I was very worried. ”

Li Manniang smiled: "Your uncle and they just came out of Liu's house, so they came directly to our house." ”

Li Xun looked at Peony with a smile: "Can you get Danniang's departure book?" ”

Peony saw that his eyes were still bloodshot, and his face was still a little sallow, so he couldn't help but feel very upset, and felt that he had come to visit the sick, but he got people up from the sickbed, which was really inappropriate, so he said: "I have gone to Jingzhao Mansion to change the official." My cousin is not in good health, so he really shouldn't get up. ”

"Congratulations" Li Xun smiled happily and showed the contents of the silver bottle: "This is a lychee soaked from Sichuan, it is really rare, and I just made a congratulatory gift to Danniang today." ”

Peony immediately got up in spirit, his eyes were wide open, lychee from Sichuan? In a silver bottle? Shouldn't it be the one who rode the red dust concubine and smiled? When the lychee entered her mouth, she realized that it was actually a fresh lychee with salt......

Li Xun cautiously looked at her on the side, and saw that her expression was strange, and she was a little disappointed: "Don't Danniang like it?" ”

Peony saw that everyone was looking at him, everyone looked satisfied, and hurriedly said: "How can I not like it, I like it, it's too rare." ”

Everyone laughed, but Li Xun was careful, and when he saw Bishui staring at the lychee, he handed it to Bishui with a lychee: "It's a rare opportunity, you can also taste one." ”

"Thank you." Bishui's face was full of joy, he took it with both hands, and hid aside to taste it.

He Zhizhong coughed: "Actually, there is another matter today, I have to go to Jingzhao Mansion to sue a few cousins." ”
