Chapter 51: Preparation for the Tea Party
After checking the pulse of King Han and confirming that he was fine, Su Qian bowed and retired.
When he returned to Liuyun Pavilion, he saw that there were many more servants in the pavilion, as well as a lot of gold and silver, and looked at Mu who was guarding at home suspiciously, and Mu hurriedly replied. "Master, this is a thank you gift from the queen, the princess and all the sons, and it is said that there will be sons and wives who will come to visit tomorrow."
"Son-in-law? What are they doing here? Su Qian frowned, she didn't want to have anything to do with the women of the royal family, and few of these women were basically simple.
"However, they all sent a post, wouldn't it be good to refuse?" Mu was a little worried, indeed, Su Qian frowned, if she refused, it would make people feel pampered and arrogant. "That's it, that's it, there's no need to refuse, let them come! The soldiers will block, and the water will cover the earth. ”
"Yes, the wood is going to prepare some elegant tea sets, which are relatively simple for the master to use on weekdays, so go buy some wood."
"No, I'll go with you." Su Qian thought about it, he liked the tea ceremony in modern times, and the tea utensils he used were all fine porcelain and jade. In the Warring States Period, there was no porcelain with good color, and jade was extremely impurities, and it was not good at all in modern times. She had to think carefully about what to use so that she wouldn't be rude or noticeable.
It's not that she doesn't have good tea sets, but she doesn't know how exquisite the pottery products of the Warring States period were. I have to check to know if I want to use the tea set in the bracelet.
As for the pastries, it would be good to let Yun go to the restaurant to order some back, anyway, they themselves are not here to drink tea.
I picked out a few sets of bronze tea sets, made another set of clothes, and bought a set of jewelry, so that tomorrow would not be rude, after all, she was not white now.
After returning home, Su Qian looked at a large pile of gold and silver treasures, two boxes of gold, three boxes of gold leaves, two boxes of clothes and jewelry, and a cart of silk and satin. I took two boxes of gold leaves, one box of gold, and half of silk and satin, and let the rest be piled up in the treasury when I needed it.
I took out some gold leaves from the box and put them in my small purse, and put some in my sleeves for tips or shopping.
After resting all night, I got up the next morning, had breakfast, Su Qian sat in the garden embroidering, Bing and Yun waited around, and there were many servants in Liuyun Pavilion.
Su Qian's idle embroidery is a sachet, the ice blue cloth, dotted with small pink flowers, Su Qian embroidered a cherry blossom tree.
Put in the incense powder, pass the mouth through with a brocade rope, tie a slipknot, and hang it on the waist seal.
Walking lightly in front of the clouds, the faint fragrance of lotus flowers wafted into the tip of the nose, and it smelled good.
"Master, what are you embroidering? How come the ice hasn't been seen, but azaleas? Bing walked up from behind him, looked at the sachet on Su Qian's waist, and looked at it carefully.
"Don't recognize?" Su Qian asked a strange rhetorical question, and then suddenly remembered that this is a unique Yae cherry tree in Japan, which was not seen in ordinary people during the Warring States Period, even in the palace.
He took off the sachet and put it away, and asked Yun to hand over a piece of embroidered cloth. This time, it's embroidered lotus! Su Qian thought to himself.
Embroider the stems and leaves with green silk threads, hook the bottom with white threads, and then embroider gradient pink petals, and the lifelike lotus flowers leap on the embroidered cloth.
Stitch both sides again, put a brocade rope on the mouth of the sac, tie a slipknot, scoop up a spoonful with a small spoon, pour it into the sachet, fill it, and tighten the mouth of the sac.
"Alright, Lotus Sachet, done." Su Qian stood up, "Let's go, the guests should be almost there." ”
