Chapter 716: Disturbed Hearts
After Lu Jiamin agreed, everyone went to see An Sheng, and An Sheng also responded with a smile, and rarely took the initiative to praise Miss Li, who was selfless and decent.
Although Miss Li didn't like An Sheng, she was also very useful when she heard An Sheng praise her, so she also responded with a pleasant face.
Since the competition is due, there must be a lottery, because this contest is a temporary decision, and everyone can't say how the lottery is for a while.
Or Xie Wanrong saw that the matter was a foregone conclusion and there was no way to change it, so she came forward and said that if anyone won the competition, she would take the lead and send a set of good tea sets and a good cup of tea.
This is also a very appropriate color head, and everyone feels that it is very appropriate after listening to it, so naturally there is no objection.
Only Miss Li said that she was a little reluctant to go, and bluntly said that she was troublesome, and Xie Wanrong, who was tired, broke the fee.
What else can Xie Wanrong say at this time, naturally she can only smile and say that there is nothing, but it is just a set of tea sets, and she can't do anything, so don't take it to heart, the most important thing is to have fun.
When she said this, Miss Li responded with a smile, and then urged everyone to leave first, as if she was the one who was fighting.
Xie Wanrong already felt that this Miss Li's words and deeds were strange, but seeing her like this, she was even more sure that she and Lu Jiamin teamed up to bully An Sheng, and she was already angry in her heart.
But in front of so many people, she really couldn't refuse to lead the way.
Today she is the master, everyone else is a guest, she can't let the guest lead the way, where to take everyone to stay, right?
But if she took these people away quickly, she was afraid of what Lu Jiamin would do to An Sheng, and she felt that she had caused An Sheng to get involved in these troubles, and she felt very sorry for An Sheng for a while.
Seeing that Xie Wanrong didn't move to take them away, everyone couldn't help but feel a little strange, there were good things, and they had even begun to whisper.
Seeing this scene, An Sheng probably guessed what Xie Wanrong was thinking, so he smiled at her comfortingly, nodded again, signaled that he was fine, and asked her to take someone away with confidence.
Xie Wanrong received An Sheng's gaze, and she was even more uneasy in her heart, feeling that she couldn't stop An Sheng, but the whispering below gradually became louder, and Hui Zhu kept reminding her that it was time to go, she really couldn't, so she had to lead everyone to the side hall first.
With Xie Wanrong leading, all the delicate guests came out with her, and soon, only An Sheng and Lu Jiamin were left in the banquet room, as well as their personal maids and a few mothers-in-law and maids from the Wen Mansion.
Coincidentally, at this moment, in the clay pot above the charcoal stove, the tea soup had begun to show signs of the third boiling.
The people of the Wen Mansion are very regular, in order to hold this small banquet today, the Duchess of Wen Guo has carefully explained, and dialed a capable housekeeper next to her to come over, just now, Xie Wanrong was afraid that she would suffer if she was not in Ansheng, so she left this grandmother, I believe that there are people from the Wen Mansion, and Lu Jiamin should not dare to do anything.
Moreover, this grandmother's prestige is very high on weekdays, and some little maids are afraid of her, so they keep her down, and the maids don't dare to make trouble.
I have to say that Xie Wanrong was also very thoughtful.
When the tea soup was about to boil for the third time, An Sheng and Lu Jiamin both picked up the boiling water left during the second boil, ready to see the opportunity to stop the boiling.
But I don't know if it's because the two of them are too good-looking, or because they know that the tea soup is about to be completed, a little girl can't hold back, so she let out a soft snort.
In fact, the sound was not loud, but the hall was too quiet at the moment, so even if it was a small soft call, everyone in the hall could hear it clearly.
This little maid is waiting behind An Sheng, and it stands to reason that An Sheng should hear it most clearly.
She was holding hot water at the moment, and if she was unstable, it was very likely that she would spill it.
If it is a weekday, as long as it doesn't hurt people, it doesn't hurt to sprinkle some hot water, but now there is a competition, this water is a very important thing, if it is sprinkled like this, the harmful An Sheng loses the game, and this girl is afraid that she will be punished harshly.
However, An Sheng didn't react, his wrist was steady, holding the small bowl of boiling water, and was about to pour the soup to stop boiling, his expression was very focused, and he didn't seem to notice anything unusual about the maid behind him.
Compared with An Sheng's calmness and calmness, Lu Jiamin's reaction was somewhat unexpected.
This noblewoman, who has always been famous for her elegance and elegance in Kyoto, actually glared at the little maid.
Maybe it's not accurate to say that staring, but Lu Jiamin's glance did give people a very sharp sense of aggression.
But at this moment, there are not many people in the hall after all, Lu Jiamin's movements are only like that, and many maids don't dare to look at it at will, so there are not many people who see this look.
Among them, there is the grandmother specially left by Xie Wanrong.
The grandmother didn't say anything, but after Lu Jiamin lowered her head again, she glanced lightly at the little maid who was waiting behind An Sheng, and the little maid was so frightened that she immediately tightened her neck and didn't dare to look at it anymore.
Soon, the tea soup will come to the "Tengbo Drum Wave", which is the "third boiling" just mentioned, An Sheng and Lu Jiamin's tea soup reached this state almost at the same time, and the two of them put the "two boiling" water in their hands at the same time, put it into the sand pot, and the boiling tea soup immediately calmed down for a moment, and then, it quickly rolled again.
At this time, An Sheng and Lu Jiamin both took off the clay pot and put it in the tray, and then began to prepare to turn the bowl and shake the incense.
The incense prepared by Xie Wanrong is moonlight white, and it has already been prepared, so you can use it directly.
It's just that this made moonlight white will be slightly discounted in terms of aroma, not as good as the freshly made, but it is not tight, An Sheng and Lu Jiamin did not hesitate, and took it directly and used it.
There is a saying: Cho frying astragalus color, bowl turning dust flowers, is the so-called phase is born from the heart, so different people or different states turn the bowl and shake the incense after the soup flowers are naturally different.
An Sheng's mood is peaceful, in terms of tea ceremony, it is superior, and Lu Jiamin's heart is already in turmoil, but she doesn't know it yet, so the soup flowers she gets are naturally not harmonious enough.
But Lu Jiamin didn't find any of this.
She and An Sheng's movements were almost completed together, twelve cups of tea soup were poured into the identical white porcelain entwined branches and wide-mouthed teacups, just as the tea soup brewed in the clay pot was used up, the two stopped together, raised their heads, glanced at each other, and at the same time said to the grandmother in the Wenfu that they could ask Xie Wanrong and the others to come back.
When Mama heard this, she bowed her head and responded, and then called someone to ask Xie Wanrong to come back.
Soon, a sound of ringing bells came from the side hall, and then, the twelve daughters headed by Xie Wanrong, carrying the wind and incense, walked into the banquet hall and stood in the center.
There, on the half-human-high warped long table, twenty-four cups of fragrant tea have been placed, exuding bursts of faint fragrance.
