Chapter 387: Quiet and elegant
Looking at the bustling and lively scene downstairs, Cui'er upstairs felt in a very good mood just by looking at it. In such a lively scene, although Cui'er couldn't entertain the guests in person, she was already very happy to be able to watch it upstairs.
Just watching from upstairs like this, it's because Cui'er is the head of the house, and no one can control it. If it is the female dependents of other families in the capital, let alone come out to watch when their shop opens, even if they want to use their dowry money to open a shop or something, they have to fight with the mother-in-law and husband at the head of the family, and it is very difficult.
According to the original plan, Cui'er would sit upstairs for a while on the opening day before leaving. However, yesterday, Cui'er received a message from Mrs. Wen Xiu, saying that she would bring the big girl and the little tiger to cheer her on, so Cui'er waited and didn't go back first.
After a while, the red cloth on the plaque was lifted outside, and the guests present were invited to enter the store. All of a sudden, it was crowded and lively.
Although Cui'er didn't look very carefully at the top, she could also see that among the people invited by Master Ye, there were the chief steward in the courtyard of the prince of the Dingguo Mansion, the third master of the Zhao family of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, and some of them were more familiar, Xu was a low-level military general who had a relationship with Lian Qingshan.
Just after everyone entered the store, Cui'er saw two carriages coming from a distance, one was the carriage that Mrs. Wenxiu often sat in, and the other was a little blind.
As Cui'er expected, the carriage stopped steadily at the door of Biye's fragrance. At this time, the chief steward in the courtyard of the prince arched his hand to everyone and walked quickly to the front of the teahouse to greet the people in the carriage.
Don't look at the chief steward of the Dingguo Mansion, he is nominally a subordinate in the Guogong Mansion. But it's stronger than ordinary subordinates, I don't know how many times. Now seeing that the chief steward is so deferential, and this carriage has the emblem of the Dingguo Mansion, the onlookers, even those who have little knowledge on the side of the road, know that the people in this carriage are definitely heavyweights.
The curtain of the carriage was lifted, and two pretty-looking rings came down from the carriage, and then a girl of about ten years old and a boy of five or six years old got out of the carriage. The last one came down was a woman with a veiled hat.
When everyone looked at the clothes of these people, they knew that they were not ordinary people. Looking at their demeanor and demeanor and the bearing that was inadvertently revealed, how could you not guess that these were the masters of the Guogong Mansion?
The opening of a small teahouse can attract the masters of the Guogong Mansion to congratulate, which is really a big face. The crowd was shocked by the news as if it had exploded. There was a heated discussion, but the masters of the Mansion of the Kingdom went straight to the second floor as if no one was there after meeting Master Ye.
The carriage behind was also in a similar style, but it was not the housekeeper of the family who greeted him in front of the car, but the third master of the Zhao family of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses. I saw a girl who was not tall enough, but could see that she was very graceful, and stepped down from the carriage. After asking the third master of the Zhao family, he also went upstairs with the masters of the Dingguo Mansion.
Although I can't see the appearance of adult women, I just rely on the clothes on them. The carriage they were riding in and the maid and the lady beside them could already guess a few points of the master's immortal appearance.
How can the boss of this green leaf fragrance be able to invite the female dependents of the Guogong Mansion and the female dependents of the Zhao family of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division to help, and everyone is curious in their hearts. Some of them have quick brain reactions, and they have already begun to think about this year's imperial merchant selection, whether it will affect the fragrance of this green leaf.
When the minds of the people are different. The ladies had already gone upstairs, and some curious and daring people wanted to follow along. only to find that there was a hole in the upper floor. The originally open upstairs was divided into a large private room, which was so tightly partitioned that there was no gap at all.
And the door of the private room was guarded by a sophisticated mother-in-law, and apart from the occasional child's laughter or two, he could not even make a sound.
"Mother, mother......" The big girl and the little tiger went upstairs and entered the house in a regular manner, and saw Cui'er waiting inside. The two children hadn't talked together for a long time because Cui'er was busy with Qingshan's expedition, so they hurriedly walked up to Cui'er, and called with a smile on their faces.
"You guys, do you remember the rules?!" Cui'er looked at the two children looking up at her little faces and smiling, only to feel that her heart was soft, and she smiled at them, but she didn't look angry.
Cui'er saluted Mrs. Wenxiu who came in the door, and Huiya, who followed Mrs. Wenxiu in, also saluted Mrs. Wenxiu and Cui'er separately, and everyone found their favorite place in this private room and sat down.
"Yuehua, Chenguang, have you two been well-behaved lately?" Cui'er stretched out her hand and patted the big girl's forehead, and pinched Xiaohu's face, looking at the two children's ruddy faces and smiling faces, knowing that they were doing well in the Guogong Mansion.
"Well, mother, I'm good, recently my grandmother found me a teacher to learn enlightenment, and the teacher said that I learned quickly!" Xiaohu hurriedly said to Cui'er, although there are many rules that only nobles have in their speech and demeanor, their coquettish and straightforward nature has not changed, and their intimacy with Cui'er has not changed.
"Okay, Chenguang is amazing!" Cui'er touched Xiaohu's head and said affectionately, "After enlightenment, the children's skills that I practiced before can't be left behind, Xianyun Dao Chang sent a letter last time, saying that you will be back in two or three months, if your kung fu falls, be careful of being spanked." ”
"Mother, don't listen to my brother's bragging, we have learned everything he has learned before, where can I not know, if I am enlightened, I will also say that I learn quickly!" The big girl made a grimace at Xiaohu and debunked him with a smile, and the sister and brother giggled together, and the relationship was very good.
"Does Yueshu still follow you to learn from the director and learn from the master on weekdays?" Cui'er knew that Yueshu had reached the age of marriage, and she always followed Mrs. Wenxiu and Mrs. Shizi on weekdays to learn to be in charge of the family. This is also so that after Yueshu gets married, she can better manage her dowry, integrate into the life of her in-laws, and not be deceived by her subordinates.
"Still learning with it, this girl is very wild on weekdays, it's rare to be able to sit down and learn something, this is that Yuehua and Chenguang are better than her." Hearing Cui'er mention Yueshu, Mrs. Wen Xiu's face brought a smile, "Recently, I detained her to embroider the dowry at home, and I didn't bring her out this time, so she didn't have to run away." ”
"Embroidered dowry? Is this a family affair? Hearing this, Cui'er asked in surprise, looking at Mrs. Wen Xiu's happy eyebrows, this matter is inseparable. The family affairs of the granddaughter of the Dingguo family are remembered or calculated by countless people, and it is not easy to find the right and suitable family.
"Well, it's almost over, when you're at home one day, invite me to sit down, and the two of us will talk about it in detail." Mrs. Wen Xiu nodded, and the joy on her face became more and more intense. However, because the children were still present, it was difficult to explain this matter thoroughly, so I stopped at the point and made an appointment with the two to meet in private.
"That's just right, I made some new flower tea, and I brought two of them with me today, and there are many more at home. There is no one to sell it in this Beijing, so when my sister is fine, go to my place to sit, and let's enjoy the flowers and tea at the same time. Cui'er's heart moved when she heard this, and she immediately nodded in response, and by the way, she also mentioned her own flower tea.
"Then I'm in for a treat! Sister, why don't you hurry up and bring out your good tea for me to taste! Mrs. Wen Xiu was not polite to Cui'er, and stabbed Cui'er with a smile and said.
"How can you cherish yourself with a broom, this hot water is already ready, just waiting for your distinguished guest to arrive, sister!" Cui'er said with a smile, clapping her hands and someone brought water in.
"There are not all things in this teahouse, and when I get to my house another day, I will ask my sister to taste the tea." Cui'er took the porcelain bottle containing tea leaves from Xiangye's hand, scooped out the flower tea with a strong jasmine aroma with a teaspoon, and handed it to Mrs. Wenxiu.
"This, it's jasmine tea?" After Mrs. Wen Xiu smelled this rich aroma, she instantly recognized the fragrance of the flowers, and when she saw the snow-white jasmine in the tea leaves, she was even more surprised, "I want to get some dried flowers to make a sachet on weekdays, but I don't have such a strong aroma, how did you do it?" ”
Cui'er smiled without saying a word, seeing that the water was already boiling in the copper kettle, she put the flower tea into the bowl one by one, and took the copper kettle and poured the boiling water, and in an instant, the fragrance of tea and flowers filled the air.
Seeing the movements in Cui'er's hands like flowing water, the aroma of the tea was more attractive than any one she had drunk before, Mrs. Wenxiu's eyes were bright, and she couldn't help leaning forward and smiled at Cui'er, "Sister, your tea is really not ordinary, sister, I have drunk so much good tea, but I have never smelled so fragrant!" ”
"It's just a small skill of carving insects, where can it compare to my sister's quiet and elegant on weekdays." Cui'er smiled and brought tea to Mrs. Wen Xiu, and gave Huiya, Da Niu and Xiaohu a bowl each.
However, because Xiaohu is still young, he is not suitable for drinking too much tea, so after Xiaohu tasted some taste, he asked people to replace him with sugar water snacks and the like, and the happy Xiaohu smiled.
Hui Ya looked at this flower tea, only to feel that her eyes lit up, the joy in her heart was no worse than Mrs. Wen Xiu, looking at the tea bowl, like a blooming jasmine, Hui Ya's heart some scattered thoughts are sprouting.
At this time, Cui'er, who was busy receiving friends and children, naturally didn't know, because Mrs. Wenxiu's intentional or unintentional support when she opened today, and because of the meticulousness and rigor of this private room, as well as the chic tea fragrance that escaped from the private room, the income of female customers will account for the majority of the future business of Biye Piaoxiang Teahouse.
