The morning sun was faintly yellowish in color, and it had not yet emitted a scorching heat, but even the people of the mansion had already gotten up.

Hahaha...... In the back garden, the first few little girls with double buns are laughing and walking among the flowers in the back garden. They are not lazy, but they are choosing the flowers that are already blooming or budding that their wives need.

A little girl saw a bush of roses growing just right, the fresh buds under the morning dew were tender and lovely, and the half-opened flowers exuded a sweet fragrance.

"That's exactly what Madame wants!" Xiao Yahuan squinted with a smile, carefully cut off the bud and the half-opened flower Ziti with scissors, pinched it in her hand and gently shook off the dew on it, and then put it into the basket she was carrying.

The back garden of Lianfu is very large, all kinds of flowers are planted, in previous years, the flowers in this garden just bloomed at the right time, adding a few touches of brightness to the scenery in this flower yard, but this year these flowers have completely become the protagonists.

"Swallows, plums, apricots...... How's your flower preparation? "The one who took the little girls out to pick flowers was the first-class girl Xiangying in front of Cui'er. After the little girls saw Xiangying, they all gathered together with a smile and held the small basket in their hands to show Xiangying.

Xu is because the little girls are still young, this flower picking work is not only not annoying to them, but they like it tightly, chirping like little sparrows, laughter and laughter resounded in the back garden.

"Alright, alright. I'll take a look at the flowers you picked......" Xiangying treated these little girls very leniently, and did not reprimand them when they talked and laughed, but only looked at the flower baskets in their hands one by one.

If they meet the conditions, let them gather all the flowers in one place to make errands. Then they can play by themselves in the garden for a while, and if the amount is small or problematic, they will give them a few words to continue picking.

"Sister Yingzi......" After the two little girls handed over the flowers they picked, they didn't go to play like others, but gathered in front of Xiangying and called with a smile.

"Swallow, Meizi, are you two done with your work?" Xiangying saw these two little girls. The smile on his face brightened a little, and he reached out and took off one of the purses hanging on his body. opened the mouth of the purse slightly, took out something from it, and stuffed it into the mouths of the two little girls, "When Miss Huiya came here a few days ago. Taste my candied fruit, both of you. ”

The two little girls were stuffed with food by Xiangying in their mouths, and they all smiled and squinted, holding Xiangying's hand and coquettish. Xiangying was very affectionate to the two little girls, the smile on her face was very doting, and the friendship between sisters was nothing more than that.

It turned out that Yanzi and Meizi were both fellow villagers of Yadi Village when Xiangying was backing the mountain, and they were also Yanzi's cousins. When there was a big flood in Yadi Village, they were rescued by Lian Qingshan together. But they were abandoned by the people in the village together, and they were taken home by Lian Qingshan.

At the beginning, Lian Qingshan brought back a total of six orphans from Yadi Village, as well as Chai Jin's sister and mother. Now these people have followed them to the capital.

After Chai Jin's family entered Beijing, he got Cui'er's grace and married Xiangmo, and became one of the foreign affairs housekeepers in the house. Chai Jin's sister Chai Sang is not young now. followed his sister-in-law Xiangmo to serve Cui'er and the little masters, and now she is a second-class girl.

And those six orphans. was originally too young to be used, but now he is slowly growing up, and the most promising is Xiangying. At the age of twelve or thirteen, she was exceptionally promoted by Cui'er to become a first-class girl around her, and she does things properly and carefully on weekdays without lacking courage, which is very decent.

In addition to Xiangying, the other two girls, Yanzi and Meizi, have now become little girls in Cui'er's yard, and they usually pass on a word and run an errand or something, although they are not reused, but they are not people who eat dryly.

And three of the six children, the eldest is thirteen years old, and now he is a small boy in the outer courtyard, and he follows Uncle Zhong or Chai in and out of the door to run errands all day long. In his spare time, he secretly took a few martial arts, saying that he was going to follow Lian Qingshan to the battlefield to serve when he grew up.

Shazi and Luzi are younger, and now they are responsible for serving in the front yard, carrying tea at the head on weekdays, cleaning the house, and then passing the word in the front and back yards, which can be regarded as having some effect.

These children may not be very conspicuous in their work, but there is one thing that the girls in the capital who bought behind are not enough, that is, loyalty, complete loyalty. For these children, without Lian Qingshan and Cui'er, there would be no their survival, and there would be no their present, so in terms of loyalty to the master, the loyalty that these children have cultivated since childhood is the most valuable, and it is also what Cui'er values the most.

It is precisely because of this importance that Xiangying has become a first-class girl ring by Cui'er's side, and it is precisely because of this importance that Shazi and Luzi, two children who are not even ten years old, can follow Heimu and Tantou together and become a little girl who makes new tea for Cui'er.

Xiangying talked to Yanzi and Meizi for a while, and when she saw that it was not early, she asked her mother-in-law to carry the collected flowers and send them to the fragrant tea garden where Cui'er made tea in the main courtyard.

In the Tea Garden, Cui'er is bending over, carefully inspecting the jasmine tea she has hidden, smelling its taste and color, meticulous.

This batch is the third batch of jasmine tea made by Cui'er, although Cui'er has improved the production process, from the initial one-time kiln to the current five-time kiln, but her heart is still a little bottomless.

The first batch of jasmine tea was fragrant when it was first made, but after brewing, there was only a tea flavor and a weak jasmine fragrance, but after two brews, it was tasteless, obviously because the floral fragrance was not deep in the tea.

With her first experience, Cui'er extended the time of soaking jasmine and green tea together, thinking that this would allow the fragrance of jasmine to penetrate deeper into the green tea. However, in the experiment, it was found that after a few days of jasmine, the aroma of the jasmine faded, as if it had been sucked away by the tea leaves.

Such a discovery surprised Cui'er, so she simply put fresh jasmine into it after the fragrance of jasmine faded, so that the fragrance of flowers could continue to be supplied. In the second experiment, Cui'er put jasmine three times in total, and it took ten days to take out the tea leaves.

The second time the jasmine tea has a lot of strong aroma, and when making tea, the fragrance of jasmine is still strong when making three or four bubbles, and the taste is good. However, there is still a disadvantage, that is, after the tea is left outside for a few days, the aroma on the tea leaves is gradually lost.

With the previous experience of making tea, Rao is two times of jasmine tea was not satisfactory, but Cui'er was not discouraged, patiently increased the number of times from three to five, and specially asked the next person to order a porcelain jar with excellent sealing in order to store her own jasmine tea.

Cui'er took out the jasmine tea in the small basket, reached out and grabbed a handful of tea leaves and put it on the tip of her nose and sniffed it gently, with a faint smile on her face.

"Someone, hot water!" Cui'er put down the small basket in her hand, pinched a pinch of jasmine tea and put it in the bowl next to her, and at this time someone had already brought hot water.

The blue-green tea leaves, slightly transparent and white with a faint yellowish jasmine, after opening the bowl, it is like the fragrance of the flowers.

After washing the tea, boiling water is poured into the bowl, and between the splashes and smoke, I feel that a strange fragrance that blends the fragrance of flowers and tea wafts out from the bowl.

Holding the bowl in her hand, Cui'er only felt as if she was no longer in this busy tea-making workshop, but in the mountains and forests after the rain.

The air in the mountains and forests is moist and rainy, and you can faintly see the green tea trees in the near distance, and the jasmine bushes as white as snow on the mountains in the distance. The simplicity and freshness seem to be natural, and people can't help but calm down and slow down, slowly experiencing this rare moment of freshness and tranquility.

Cui'er's heart was intoxicated, not only immersed in the lingering aroma of jasmine tea, but also drunk in the wonderful artistic conception. Taking a sip of tea, the corners of Cui'er's lips hooked up slightly, knowing that her jasmine tea this time was ready.

The newly made jasmine tea was put into a special porcelain bottle, and Cui'er happily brought the bottle to the main room of the main courtyard, and sent a message to her father to ask him to come back to taste the tea. Cui'er carefully moved the porcelain vase to a special shelf for tea, and placed it on the edge of a row of porcelain vases.

In this row of porcelain bottles, there are separate rose teas and peach blossom teas that Cui'er has successfully dried, as well as flower and fruit teas made from various flowers and fruits. When Cui'er matched these flower and fruit teas and let her family try to drink them, Mrs. Ye and Mrs. Qian liked them very much, and said again and again that they were much more appetizing than those bitter and astringent teas.

Although Cui'er likes traditional tea very much, she also has a good impression of flower and fruit tea, and when she has nothing to do, she brews a pot of tea, which has a slightly sweet taste and some light snacks.

Of course, there are also teas in this porcelain vase that are not so successful, such as the jasmine tea that Cui'er made two times before. Because Cui'er has the highest requirements for jasmine tea, even if the first two teas are enough to amaze others, they can't achieve the effect that Cui'er is satisfied with.

Now with the addition of this jasmine tea, which is almost certain to be successful, Cui'er's heart has more confidence in flower tea. Looking at these colorful porcelain vases, thinking of the same colorful flower tea and fruit tea with different tastes, Cui'er's heart swelled with infinite satisfaction. (To be continued)
