Chapter 644: A True Tea Connoisseur

"Leave the crumbs alone, they have the audacity to stop the car." Princess Yan waved her hand straightforwardly, "Hurry up and bring a pen and paper, your sister wants a medicine, you go to Duan Xiaolou according to the description on the paper, and say that I will ask him for medicine!" ”

He Angelica said weakly: "I heard that Duan Xiaolou and General Gao Jueer happen to be not in Beijing, so don't bother, let me go by myself." ”

Princess Yan patted her chest and promised: "It's over when I get you the antidote, you just have to write it, Zichen is much more clever than you!" ”

The pen and paper came in from the window, He Angelica thought about it, wrote down the symptoms of Duan Xiaolou's wound after being poisoned, his pulse was stagnant, and his blood was boiling, and handed this piece of paper to Zichen outside the window along with the entry and exit token of Jinyi Mansion.

She advised: "It's best to find an antidote in secret, you can avoid a lot of unnecessary trouble, my uncle Lu Jiangbei is the head of Jinyiwei, but he is not in the capital now, his cousin Lu Yao is the temple of Taichang Temple, my uncle said that when he is not there, anything can be discussed with Lu Yao." Zichen, you go and ask him first, if not, then take the token and go into Jinyi Mansion to find an antidote. ”

"Yes." Zichen tightened the reins, turned the horse's head and left.

He Angelica looked at his back worriedly, not knowing whether this Zichen was reliable. Originally, she planned to let Yitong lead the subordinates of Qiyang Palace to run errands after leaving the mansion. Even if she can't hold the antidote, as long as there is poison or part of the formula of the antidote, she is sure to save people.

"Don't look at it, it's a trivial matter, don't worry." Princess Yan affectionately grabbed one of her arms, "Let's talk, how old are you, girl, what relatives did you live with before marrying into the Meng family, I heard that you are not small, and you still know medical skills?" ”

He Angelica lowered his eyelashes and replied with a straight look: "I am fourteen this year, I don't have any relatives at home, Uncle Lu treats me very well, but he is very busy, and it is rare to see him." As for my medical skills, I learned from a rural Tulang, and occasionally cured two people, but who knew it was spreading. "She never likes to whitewash her background, so that outsiders think that she is essentially a country girl, and it is better to be wary of her.

"Uncle Lu?" Princess Yan asked tentatively, "Then, did he mention anything to you about your life experience?" ”

"No, I didn't." He Angelica looked well-behaved.

Princess Yan stretched out a little finger covered with red gold inlaid jade bead armor, and the cold tip trembled and stroked her cheek, and sighed: "What a poor child, if this princess had known about your existence a few years earlier, she would have taken you into the palace to raise you." ”

He Angelica was repeatedly "molested" by Princess Yan, and she was also very curious in her heart, why did this Princess Yan care so much about her, obviously two strangers who had never met...... Thinking of the expensive dowry that Princess Yan added to her, she has never thanked anyone so far.

"The clothes and ornaments in the dowry given by the princess are too valuable, and I have never seen many things in my life, and since I received them, the little girl has been ashamed day and night, and has not had the opportunity to thank the princess. I finally saw it today, and I can talk about the little girl's shame. I don't know how I can repay the princess for her generous gift? ”

Princess Yan stared at her and smiled gently: "These are all things left to you by your mother, who are you not going to give them to?" I saw that you were restrained towards me, and you didn't call me 'mother' anymore, and then where there was no one in the future, you could call me 'Aunt Lian', and I couldn't get used to calling me the princess. ”

The carriage traveled for half an hour, and the people who followed Zichen did not show up, but the Yanwang Mansion had already arrived.

Coincidentally, as soon as their carriage stopped, and as soon as they got out of the carriage, they saw another gorgeous Baogai carriage also stopped at the gate of the palace, and a woman in a dark purple dress and a hood came down from it. Although she can't see her face, she should be an elderly woman with her momentum. Princess Yan greeted her from afar, calling her "Sister Ge", and the other party also opened her mouth to greet Princess Yan, with a natural hoarseness in her voice, which gave people a more intimidating feeling than Princess Yan.

I don't know if it was He Angelica's illusion, this Mrs. Ge's gaze came through the veil, and the gaze that fell on her face was extremely stern.

After getting off the carriage, they changed to a brocade sedan chair, and the three of them lifted each other, and stopped when they walked for tea, and a young daughter-in-law helped them get off the sedan chair with the sedan curtain. Princess Yan and Mrs. Ge walked side by side in front, followed by He Angelica, listening to the chatter of the two.

"Little Hou Ye doesn't accompany Sister Ge to drink tea with you?" Princess Yan asked.

"I haven't seen anyone for the past two days, so I guess I'm busy with business," said Mrs. Ge, "and it's not good to have him come with me with him today." ”

Princess Yan smiled: "I still have a little bit of a trivial matter, it's common to see him every day, but I didn't see him today, do you say it's a coincidence?" Everyone else takes their daughters to the tea banquet, but Sister Bige, you bring your son to attend. ”

So, He Angelica knew the identity of Mrs. Ge - she was, Duan Xiaolou's mother! The other party looked at herself with such sharp eyes just now, could it be that Duan's mother knew her?

When I passed by the garden, I saw a beautiful scenery from a distance, not the flowers in the garden, but a young girl who was more delicate than the flowers. Among them, there are many stunning girls, all holding fans, standing together with flowers and branches, which can really dazzle the eyes of passers-by.

Princess Yan stopped, turned around and smiled at He Angelica: "They are all well-behaved children, there are county lords in our palace, and there are girls from other people's families, almost all of them are the same age as Qing'er and you." You should accompany Mrs. Ge over there, joke with the sisters for a while, change clothes for your mother, and come after a short break. Saying that, Princess Yan left the maid Pucao who had been with her to He Angelica, and left by herself.

Mrs. Ge took off her hat "Hula", looked at a cloud in the sky with an expressionless face, and walked into the garden with her head held high.

He Angelica glanced at her, and immediately understood the reason why Mrs. Ge wore a hat when she went out. She had a deep scar on the left cheek, on her neck, and next to her collarbone, and the color was an old wound, like a sword and a sharp weapon. I heard that Mrs. Ge is a female general, could it be that these injuries are all memorials left on the battlefield?

Mrs. Ge walked steadily, neither fast nor slow, He Angelica did not stand side by side with her, walking two steps behind. When they reached the centre of the garden, two or three other gorgeously dressed women approached from another winding path. The girls were laughing around a large round table, and when they saw Madame Ge and the other ladies, they all greeted each other in a crisp and crisp manner.

He Angelica followed and identified and remembered the identities of those ladies, including Mrs. Niu from Taifu Mansion, Mrs. Tong from Taishi Mansion, and Mrs. Li from Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion. Among them, Mrs. Tong attended the Meng family's festival banquet, but now she has her name and face matched.

She was in a hurry to go out to find an antidote, and she went home to save people, and somehow came here to participate in the tea banquet. It felt like a rampaging bull plunged into a hen's nest that was hatching, and if it moved around, it was about to trample on their hot eggshells.

He Angelica is the only young lady who did not greet the ladies, of course, she is also a "lady-level" figure herself. Because she was far away from everyone, standing in a corner of the garden, she didn't want to attract attention, but attracted more attention. Of the fifteen young women present, four or five of them half-covered their faces with fans, looked over the fans, and looked at He Angelica curiously.

In fact, they did not pay attention to He Angelica itself, but the grass standing behind her. Pu Cao is Princess Yan's henchman and maidservant, what will be the identity of the person who is accompanied by her? When they saw He Angelica's black hair combed up into the woman's sideburns, their eyes were even more surprised, and they made all kinds of guesses in their hearts.

"Oh," Mrs. Tong turned her head and saw He Angelica, and immediately came up to greet him affectionately, "Why didn't the princess say anything earlier, the county lord also came to the banquet today!" I knew I was bringing a little book, and he's been shaking with a pen lately! ”

He Danggui remembered that this Mrs. Tong was also in the ranks of seeking medical treatment last time, and it seemed that she had a son who was so weak that he was dizzy when he read, and he could only go shopping and run out of the city without dizziness. Mrs. Tong insisted that her son was weak and had to be adjusted by a good doctor.

Seeing that everyone was looking over, Pu Cao introduced in a crisp voice: "This is the seventh grandmother of Mengfu, the county lord of Qingning in our house." The princess asked the county lord to come over to play, and said that everyone didn't have to wait for her, she was out of the door. ”

Princess Yan didn't even attend the banquet in her own house, and invited a lot of guests, but the host didn't show up? So who will greet the guests? He Angelica felt strange, but everyone seemed to be used to it, and they didn't reason, and they laughed at the joke just now.

Among the group of young women, the youngest was twelve or thirteen, and the eldest was not more than twenty years old, and two of them, like He Angelica, also wore the hair of a married woman in a bun. The two girls with green and yellow clothes are the most outstanding and top-notch among them.

Among them, the older one wore green, and I saw her with a goose egg pink face, charming as the moon, and her eyes were bright and beautiful. There is no blood on the skin, as if he has just recovered from a serious illness, but he still overwhelms the women in complexion, only a little powder, and the red lips are red without dots. A two-belt Biling brocade tassel is obliquely inserted into the low-hanging sideburns, and the two strands of hair on the cheeks are gently brushed with the wind, which is very amorous. The large mandala green smoke gauze top, the green leaf pleated skirt in the middle of the ground, the style is simple and generous, and the other is draped with a light and soft gold silk thin smoke rain over the azure silk.

Pu Cao noticed that He Angelica's gaze fell on the woman in green, so he whispered: "This is the fairy grass county lord of Princess Lin'an's mansion. ”

The lord of the fairy grass? He Angelica couldn't help but look at it a few more times.

At this time, some of the girls laughed and said: "A few sons have not yet arrived, what is the fun of our own poetry, it is better to play a game of 'guess the name of the tea' - the participants blindfolded, all kinds of tea are served, just sniff with their noses, and then taste with their tongues if they can't sniff out, if they can't guess after tasting it, they will lose." Evaluate the last person, let's each support her with one thing, make fun of her, everyone says okay? ”

Most of the people applauded and agreed, saying that the game sounded fresh and chic, and that they had never played it before. Many young ladies are experts in tea drinking, and have studied the tea ceremony since they were four or five years old, so they have signed up for the game with fans.

He Angelica stood in the corner with a smile, just waiting for the game to start, she was going to evacuate from here.

Coincidentally, at this time, another girl in yellow with the most outstanding appearance, who was about the same age as He Angelica, walked straight towards her and beckoned, "Sister come to play together, what fun is it to stand by yourself." ”

This girl's skin is delicate and soft, her cherry mouth is delicate, and her eyes are very flexible and delicate. The hair is casually pulled into a loose bun, the rest of the hair is scattered, and a lilac hairpin is inserted obliquely, which looks a little casual but elegant. She pulled He Angelica to the middle of the crowd, and said with a little naughty: "Sister Qingning is a person who knows how to drink tea at a glance, and she must participate." ”

He Angelica was just about to resign, but a young lady already sneered: "If she understands tea, why should she hide from us?" ”

"That's it, don't force yourself if you don't understand."

"Lord Duran, let her say it herself, don't help people get the wrong idea!"

"The doorway in tea is not understood by everyone."

"It's better to sign up for this kind of thing, and if you get the last place when you go back, you will have to see if you cry in public."

"Don't provoke the princess to blame us, bullying the county lord~~"

One stone stirred up a thousand waves, He Angelica couldn't help but laugh secretly in his heart, it seems that he inadvertently committed public anger, is it because he is unsociable, or does it seem out of place?

"She is the real connoisseur of tea, you will know the benefits after you have tried it, don't cry your nose when the time comes."

A gentle man's voice sounded not far away, and everyone looked back to see who it was. He Angelica also heard the sound and looked at it, and was shocked when he saw it. How did heβ€”how did he get here?!
