Chapter 068: Fruit is a Good Thing
Chen Ying held the tray in her hand and said calmly: "Everyone, please see, this tray is about a foot square, but the teacup is only the size of a palm, and the volume of two miles is ...... The difference in size is enormous. And you guys also saw it, and I tripped over it like that, Ah Xia didn't spill much tea, and Xun Zhen's body didn't get wet much. I think that Xunzhen has such a little tea on his body, and he doesn't have to change his clothes. ”
Indeed, Xun Zhen really spilled a few bits of tea on his body, which was basically invisible, and the weather was hot, so he could be dried by the wind for a while.
Although everyone could see it clearly, they were still at a loss and didn't understand what Chen Ying meant.
"I don't really understand what Miss Chen San means." It was Guo Ning who spoke first, and while speaking, she was already frowning tightly, her face full of puzzlement.
Chen Ying didn't rush to reply, but returned to Wang Minzhen, pointed to the corner of her skirt and said, "Look at Miss Wang again, the front of her skirt is basically damp, and this is a whole bowl of tea on her." Here, I would like to ask you to think about it, the teacup is placed on the tray, just as you have just seen, if the tea is spilled, it will only be spilled on the tray first, and then the tray will be splashed outside, and the teacup will never fall to the ground, but will remain on the tray. ”
With that, she raised the tea-tray in her hand so that everyone could see it.
Everyone looked closely, and saw that as she said, the teacup was poured on the tray, and the plate was full of tea.
Chen Ying pointed to the stone case again, and continued: "Please take a look at this tray again, the little mustache just now walked towards Miss Wang with this tray, but there is almost no tea on this plate." ”
Everyone looked in the direction she pointed, and sure enough, the tea tray was almost dry, only a few Mercury grains.
At this time, everyone's expressions changed a little.
Chen Ying paused for a moment, and then said: "Why there is such a difference between the two pallets, in fact, it is not difficult to understand, I will verify it again." ”
As she spoke, she took a new tray from the maid next to her, and then took a cup of tea and put it on the tray.
Everyone noticed that she did not place the teacup in the center of the tray, as Fang Cai did, but placed it in the very front position.
"If the teacup is placed in this position, then, with just a crooked hand, the whole tea will fall down, and the teacup will fall to the ground." She said in a calm voice, motioned to Xunzhen on the side, handed her the tray, and then said softly, "You stand two steps back." ”
Xun Zhen Zi would not have any doubts about Chen Ying's words, and after hearing this, he immediately took two steps back.
Chen Ying turned to Wang Minzhi on the side and twisted the corners of her mouth at her: "Excuse me, you go to the back to find the real one." ”
Wang Minzhi instantly understood what Chen Ying meant, and couldn't help but be grateful, and didn't say much, so he walked behind Xunzhen and pushed hard.
The distance between the two steps can be regarded as extremely close, and the search for truth can't be stopped, just like Fang Cai Axia, the fit pounced on Chen Ying.
So, there was another "open-minded" sound, and the teacup fell directly from the tray, and the tea splashed directly on Chen Yingman's skirt, and then rolled on the ground a few times.
Chen Ying stared at the tea cup on the ground, and praised sincerely: "This tea cup is very resistant to falling." ”
The faces of the Guo sisters suddenly turned red.
How can a real pastel teacup be so strong? Chen Ying's words sound like good words, but in fact, he is ironic that Xingjibo Mansion can't afford to use good pastel porcelain.
The three sisters thought so almost at the same time.
If Chen Ying knew what they were thinking at the moment, she was afraid that she would shout "wronged".
Her praise was purely heartfelt, and she genuinely felt that the teacup was extremely durable.
"When the maids in your house serve tea, do they all put the tea cup in such a dangerous position?" Wang Minzhi's voice sounded suddenly, breaking the slightly embarrassing atmosphere in the pavilion.
At this moment, her face had completely sunk, and there was a thin layer of anger between her eyebrows: "In vain, I still think that this is the kind hospitality of the Bofu, but I don't want to be a calculating person." As she spoke, she slipped her gaze down and said sarcastically: "This teacup is really sturdy, and it is really good." ”
The faces of the Guo sisters are red and blue, which is comparable to a paint workshop.
"Let's talk about whether the teacup is good or not, but the dress of the third sister is ruined." Chen Yi on the side answered at this time, and when she spoke, her faint eyes swept over the Guo Bing sisters, and then swept into the distance.
At this time, Guo Yuan, the lord of Xiangshan County, was sitting on a stone bench by the pond, talking with a few girls lively, and did not look in this direction.
Chen Yi looked at her from afar, the corners of his lips suddenly hooked, and he evoked a little irony, and took a few steps forward and pulled Chen Ying: "Third sister, let's go, I'll accompany you to change your clothes." After that, he swept his gaze into the distance, and said lukewarmly: "Could it be that our Guogong Mansion will also be counted together?" ”
The Guo family of Xingjibo Mansion is the in-laws of the eldest princess, if calculated by generation, Guo Yuan's father - Guo Zhun - and Guo Bing are half-brothers and sisters, in front of Guo Bing, the lord of Xiangshan County is going to open his mouth to call "aunt".
The festival between the Wang family and the eldest princess's mansion is now well known, and the reason why Wang Minzhen was splashed with a skirt of tea is almost on the surface.
At this time, the only one in the field who had never been involved in it was Gu Nan.
To say that she wasn't involved in it is not true. After all, at the time of the Wuling Spring Banquet, she was caught between the eldest princess's mansion and the Guogong mansion. No, at this moment, she is the one caught in the middle again.
A wry smile appeared on Gu Nan's delicate face.
What kind of bad luck did she take? The crooked wind of the Wuling Spring Banquet has only been blowing for a few days, why did she provoke this group of aunts and grandmothers again?
Hate only hated that she couldn't leave at this time, so she had to stand aside, staring at the green blue railing with both eyes, as if she had a strong interest in the paint on it.
"What kind of verification did Miss Chen San do, it doesn't mean anything." After a long while, Guo Bingfang opened his mouth.
Her complexion was slightly blue, in stark contrast to Guo Ning, whose cheeks were flushed next to her.
"It's just that the little maid missed, Miss Chen San is no longer a detective, and she can't just deduct the crime on my uncle's head." Guo Bing's tone was a little heavy, and he turned his eyes and glanced at Chen Ying deeply.
The news that Chen Ying got a gold medal for the Imperial Detective has been spread all over the capital, and Guo Bing and the others have already heard of it.
"Miss Guo's words are funny." Wang Minzhi took the lead in answering, her eyebrows were furrowed, and her face was pale: "Miss Chen San has never named her name, Miss Guo must not talk to herself." ”
