Chapter 130: The Old Lady's Last Words
Luo Baiying roughly understood in her heart that the old lady wanted to explain some "last words" to herself that she couldn't say publicly, but how could Luo Baiying be willing to take such a risk, in case the masked man took her hostage, then what was the use of her listening to the old lady's "last words"? Luo Baiying waited quietly for a moment, wanting the masked man to stop him from delivering tea - since he refused to call He Angelica over, he would definitely not call himself over. But after waiting for a long time, the masked man was silent, and Luo Baiying had no choice but to meet the old lady's expectant gaze and refused: "Ancestor, I'm sorry, I have never been able to make tea." ”
The old lady also knew that it was a dangerous thing to call Luo Baiying here, but among the Luo family present, she was the most calm and reliable, but she didn't expect that this granddaughter who she usually loved the most would refuse her "last request" with her mouth open! The old lady was so angry that her shoulders trembled a little, she turned her head to look at Luo Baiqiong, and said in a commanding tone: "Sister Qiong, you bring me a cup of tea!" Seeing that after Luo Baiqiong heard this, she immediately supported the ground with her hands to stand up, the old lady was slightly relieved, and at the same time secretly said, at the critical moment, it is her own granddaughter who is the most useful!
Luo Baiqiong, who was the top user, struggled on the ground five or six times and didn't get up, and finally said to the old lady with a little crying: "Ancestor, I'm sorry, my leg is useless, I must have broken my bone just now!" "Grandma, grandma, your old man has been taken hostage, what kind of tea do you drink?
"I want to drink tea too," Geng Bingxiu said suddenly, "That woman in blue, bring the tea quickly, or I'll pinch her to death!" He shook the old lady as he spoke.
Luo Baiying found that the masked man suddenly looked sideways at her side, so she looked around in a panic, and found in despair that there were a group of girls wearing light green maid clothes on her left and right, and only she was wearing a water blue eight-tie spring brocade long embroidered dress! What should I do, should I do it, do I want to go as I say?
Luo Baiying frowned in embarrassment and thought, the kidnapper pointed out that he let himself go, which clearly saw that he was noble, and wanted to hold one more hostage in his hands, and if he passed, he would be worried about his life, how could there be a reason in the world to know that he was dead and still made up? However, he is threatening the old lady's life, if he doesn't go over, once the old lady dies, he will inevitably fall into the crime of being disloyal and unfilial and killing his elders, and he will not be able to raise his head in the Luo family in the future...... How unjust God is! gave himself a beautiful face, but did not give himself a sound body, so that he could not marry for the rest of his life because of this hidden disease, if he had no place in the Luo family, where could he go?
Geng Bingxiu saw that her pestle was motionless, so she added: "You go to that girl first," he said and pointed to He Angelica, "Let her tell you her plan quietly, and you can repeat it to me word for word, as long as you do it well, I will definitely not hurt you!" ”
Luo Baiying was shocked when he heard this, once that demon fell for He Angelica's strategy, then he would definitely kill himself and He Angelica immediately, and then escape according to the plan! No, no, I definitely can't help them pass the word!
When Meng Xuan heard this, he looked at the little girl beside him with interest, as if an old monk had settled down, and now he was completely sure that the big devil in the hall was very jealous of this little girl, and he didn't even dare to let her get close! Hehe, things are getting more and more interesting.
Geng Bingxiu thought for a while, then suddenly looked at Luo Baiying and said, "Eight days ago, you fell into the water in the middle of the night, right?" Actually, I pushed you down that time, and I can't hide it, my palm is stained with poison, and in two days you will rot and die of poison all over your body, but if you are willing to help me serve tea and send a message, I will give you the antidote. ”
Luo Baiying almost fainted when she heard this, her whole body rotted, and she died of poison? Is this true? Why didn't she even notice it, although she felt a little unwell these days, but there was no sign of poisoning...... He's lying to himself! So after some forward-looking consideration, Luo Baiying still decided to hang her head and leaned in the corner without saying a word. Anyway, this place is far away from that demon, and his clutches can't reach out here, as long as he resolutely refuses to go, that demon will definitely look for someone else to spread the word. Think about it, how could he possibly kill the old lady? The old lady is now a talisman for him, thinking like this, Luo Baiying simply closed her eyes.
The old lady saw that things had developed to this point, and none of the two well-behaved granddaughters was willing to listen to her "last words", one couldn't walk, and the other was obviously able to walk, but she covered her ears and stole the bell! The old lady's face turned blue at the moment, and she scolded in her heart, Luo Duzhong, take a look, this is your good granddaughter, a good descendant of your Luo family! The secret you discovered can't be known to your children and grandchildren, and I can't blame it!
Mama Tang, who was standing by the wall, finally couldn't help but rush out and shouted impassionedly: "Miss, I'll pour you tea!" There is a lot of meaning in the tone that the old lady personally poured wine for her before going to the guillotine, wishing her a good journey.
"No, you can't come here!" The old lady immediately stopped drinking Mama Tang, she squinted her eyes and thought for a moment, then suddenly opened her eyes and looked at He Angelica and said, "Sister Yi, you make one of your red fruit tea and bring it to me." It's not that she doesn't trust Hongjiang, but that the old man has told her that this secret can only be passed on to the descendants of the Luo family, although Sister Yi is not surnamed Luo, but her name is also on the family tree, so she simply made a decision before she died, and changed her surname to Luo, which is also in line with the rules.
Hearing this, He Angelica recovered from her old monk's state of steady, calmly picked up a fluttering white gauze handkerchief, saluted the old lady and the masked man, and said with a light smile: "If you go back to the ancestors, that red fruit tea can't be brewed for you to drink," Seeing the old lady looking at herself with a disappointed face, the conversation changed, "But I see that there are a lot of other tea leaves in the cart pushed by licorice, so it's better to let Angelica make you a pearl cloud tea." ”
"Oh?" Without waiting for the old lady to speak, Meng Xuan suddenly asked, "Why can't red fruit tea?" Look at her eyes full of banter, girl, in fact, your tea is too much sugar, right? And there's no such thing as the "right way" to make a delicious tea!
Before this little girl said that "the brewing method has been written on the oil paper that made tea", her eyes were clearly full of nervousness and uneasiness, and then she heard the maid say that the paper had been thrown away, and her eyes showed a hint of relaxation and pride. If it weren't for the fact that when he played against her before, he discovered her unique demeanor and scheming step by step on the chessboard, he would not have observed her so attentively, let alone discovered her true emotions under her docile and calm appearance.
He Angelica scolded this dead boy hatefully in his heart, but the smile on his face was even brighter, and he said nonsense: "Xuan Gongzi doesn't know, there is a way to 'open the door seven things: firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar tea', this tea tasting is also an indispensable part of our daily life, and tea tasting is about 'harmony and respect for silence', the current situation is completely unrelated to 'harmony and respect for silence', it is really on the verge of anxiety and panic, so how can you drink the red fruit tea that is as strong as wine?" Of course, it's time to have a cup of pearl cloud tea to soothe your emotions. ”
Meng Xuan was speechless for a while when she saw that this would also allow her to come back from what she had said, while the old lady said in a deep voice: "Okay, Angelica!" You can make a cup of pearl cloud tea for grandma, grandma has a few words to say to you. ”
For a while, everyone in the hall held their breath, watching He Angelica put the clay stove, scrubber, tea set, tea rules, tea clips, incense burner and other things on the tea table in turn, and took water and put it on the light red clay stove to cook.
When the water boiled, the slight water vapor was bypassed, and He Angelica first bowed in the direction of the main position, and then sat quietly, took the tea clip and washed the tea set one by one with boiling water and placed it aside, and took two points of tea leaves with a tea spoon and poured it on the snow paper to slightly divide the thickness, the more parts of the tea stems in the plain green cloud tea were separated, in the surprised eyes of everyone, He Angelica put these tea stalks in the incense burner, and took out a fire fold from his small water sleeve and lit it.
Everyone can't help but look at each other, this matter is quite incredible, one, I have never heard of "burning incense", I have never heard of "burning tea", and the second is that although tea is a grass, it can not be easily lit on fire, why is she on fire at one point?
Meng Xuan stood on her left side and watched, but saw that the girl's clear eyes were like a pool of water in the valley in late autumn, quiet and peaceful, and it seemed to be like two people when she was scolding herself just now...... Which one is the real her, or neither?
At that time, everyone in the hall was in danger, where was the time to leisurely drink tea, everyone had their own thoughts, looking at the girl in the center who was leisurely and contented and extremely incompatible with the surrounding environment.
Out of nowhere, she conjured a small straw stick and flicked the incense burner twice, but saw a faint wisp of blue smoke floating up, like substance, and the girl flicked it on the cigarette with her thin fingers like spring onions, so that the blue smoke spread. The smell of the wisp of smoke unexpectedly diffused into the entire vast space, making people can't tell what it tastes like after smelling, but there is a heartfelt sense of pleasure rising from the bottom of their hearts, only to see that everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and in the group of people who supported each other in the corner, nine out of ten people could stand up straight as usual.
Suddenly, the wind through the hall of Xinrong Hall came in and went out through the windows at the four corners, taking away the smell of the blue smoke in the room, but for some reason, most people felt that the end of their noses was hit by another fragrance.
Just when everyone was indulging in this fragrance, He Angelica in front of the tea case had already poured tea and water in one go, brewed a tea cup of pearl cloud tea, and then raised his eyes and smiled at the hall: "Hero, I have four courses of tea, and it is best to taste it nearby, so it is better for you and your ancestors to come and sit together." ”
Everyone thought that the masked man with a tough attitude would flatly refuse, but they didn't expect him to obediently escort the old lady down the steps, step by step to the tea table and sit down. He Angelica and Meng Xuan sat on the left side of the tea case, the old lady and the mask man sat on the right side of the tea case, and the three of them stared intently at He Angelica's face, Meng Xuan said in his heart, I can save Mrs. Luo at such a close distance, should I make a move? Why don't you wait, maybe Daddy will be here in a while.
Geng Bingxiu asked, "Girl, which four teas are they?" ”
He Angelica poured out the first cup of tea, Yingying walked to the old lady's side, and Geng Bingxiu, who was on the side, saw this, and the right hand holding the old lady's shoulder increased by two points. However, He Angelica crossed the old lady, handed the cup of tea to Geng Bingxiu, and said with a light smile: "The first tea is called 'Jun Wen's return date is not due', you can try it." Geng Bingxiu took the tea and held it to his nose to smell it, but he didn't taste it for a long time - after all, his mouth was under the mask, and he couldn't drink it if he wanted to.
When He Angelica was about to say something more, the old lady suddenly pulled He Angelica closer, and quickly said something to her, although Geng Bingxiu was slightly dissatisfied, but did not stop it. After a while, He Angelica patted the old lady's shoulder and stood up, and went to pour the second cup of tea, the clear tea line fell into the snow porcelain tea cup like a flying spring, and stopped when it was full of seven points, and then she gave the tea to the old lady, and said softly: "Don't worry, ancestors, the so-called world changes like chess, it may not come to that point, please try this 'Bashan Night Rain and Autumn Pool' first." ”
After the old lady finished explaining her confidential last words, she only felt that the mood was immediately sent, and when she took this cup of tea with both hands to smell it, she felt that the three thousand troubles in the world seemed to have all dissipated...... I haven't had such a good tea in many years. The aftertaste in the words is endless, making the onlookers curious and yearning for the taste of the tea in that cup to the extreme.
