Chapter 54: Famous Tea - Please Fall Flowers
"There are no girls' clothes, Huan'er doesn't mind, so let's wear Fan'er first. Shu Zhaoyi searched for a long time and couldn't find the clothes of a girl the same size as Qing Xihuan, so she took Dong Chufan's clothes and handed them to Qing Xihuan in embarrassment.
"Yes, I don't pick. Qing Xihuan took Dong Chufan's clothes, looked at the black clothes without extra decorations, and felt very happy, finally able to walk without wearing a skirt, it was just troublesome.
Qing Xihuan covered the curtain to change clothes in the inner room, and Shu Zhaoyi sighed quietly in the outer room.
"What's wrong with the lady?" asked Qing Xihuan.
Shu Zhaoyi didn't expect that her such a small sigh was also caught in her ears by Qing Xihuan, and hurriedly responded, "It's okay, I thought I could do something for you, but Hua Muyuan didn't have anything, and I couldn't even get a decent piece of clothes." Shu Zhaoyi's voice fell, and guilt rose.
Qing Xihuan couldn't help laughing, and comforted Shu Zhaoyi a little inside the curtain.
"Lady, in fact, I like to wear men's clothes, which is easy to walk and not restrained. β
When Shu Zhaoyi heard this, she didn't know whether she was happy or sad, but she knew that Qing Xihuan was very sensible, as a young lady from a big family, she was dressed and fed since she was a child, and she was not spoiled, and she was really a good character.
Qing Xihuan quickly changed his clothes, his clothes were slightly larger, but they were also comfortable to wear, Qing Xihuan rolled up his sleeves, walked out and turned around Shu Zhaoyi.
"Lady look, isn't it very good~"
Shu Zhaoyi saw that Qing Xihuan was happy, her heart was sour, she nodded, took Qing Xihuan's hand, and slid the sandalwood bracelet on her hand onto Qing Xihuan's wrist.
"This is my dowry, the treasury was tight back then, the emperor was in a hurry to use the money, and the dowry that came with me was given to the emperor, leaving only this one thing that was not valuable, and it was also the only thing I took to make a move......" The lady frowned sadly, as if she remembered some sad past.
"I can't help it, I can't help it, lady, I can't take it. Qing Xihuan sternly refused, but was held tightly by the lady.
"Huan'er, Lady Niang said a thoughtful word to you, at the beginning, I didn't know your personality, I just thought it was good to have a daughter, until I saw you, I really liked you, you were really too similar to me back then, Lady Niang seemed to see herself many years ago, looking at you and the prince to be good, and also thought of when I was young......" Lady Niangniang suddenly felt lost, hurriedly stopped, and looked at Qing Xihuan.
"Oh, anyway, you have to take it, and the lady will feel comfortable. β
Qing Xihuan couldn't refuse when he saw this, and he hurriedly accepted the bracelet.
Shu Zhaoyi saw that Qing Xihuan had accepted it, smiled, and pulled Qing Xihuan towards the lobby.
"Actually, there is still some benefit in my palace, which is tea. Shu Zhaoyi said.
"No wonder Dong Chuchen went to drink tea, it turned out that tea was good. Qing Xihuan nodded.
"Oh, Huan'er, you pay too much attention to the prince, I haven't even seen him go to tea. Shu Zhaoyi hid her face and smiled, teasing Qing Xihuan.
"How can I have! The lady laughed again. Qing Xihuan blushed and lowered his head.
"Okay, don't laugh, I'll cook the pot laterβplease fall flowers, you can taste it. The slightest sweetness but not greasy, elegant and indifferent, when I cooked a lamp out, the emperor smelled the aroma and thought that the magnolia flowers were blooming, and came to Huamu Courtyard to look for magnolias, but the flowers were not found, but I found me who was pouring tea. Shu Zhaoyi had the shyness of a little woman in her eyes, and smiled again.
"How is this tea made? Qing Xihuan was interested and asked.
"It's not difficult to say, it's not easy to say it's easy, it's not easy to take the spring stream water, the summer lake water, the autumn pool water, the winter snow water, blend into the water of tea, and then take the wild magnolia that has just budded in February, dry it until it is naturally air-dried, take the old lotus leaf to wrap the flower bones, coat it with a thin layer of nectar and seal it, stay for ten months, and then put the truffle in, seal it for six months, put it in the fried barley and store it, and then bury it in the bamboo forest two months later, absorb the sweet water of the bamboo root, and wait for half a year, you can make tea and drink. β
Qing Xihuan was dizzy when he heard it, this set is similar to Yan Huihui's tea cooking technique, if Yan Guihui is here, he will definitely be a tea friend and confidant with Shu Zhaoyi. Qing Xihuan thought, why don't you come to learn and see Ah Hui cook for him to drink!
"Lady, teach me, I want to learn. Qing Xihuan's eyes flashed and he became happy.
"This tea is cooked by the beloved woman for her sweetheart, not the taste of tea, but the quiet and persistent thoughts of the past three years, in fact, this is not my method, it was cooked by a lady many years ago in order to wait for the general on the battlefield, and then it has been passed on to me, mostly for the amorous woman to cook for the person who is happy in the heart to drink, it seems that Huan'er wants to cook for the prince to drink. β
Give him, feed the dogs, and don't give it to him.
"yes. Qing Xi happily agreed, although he was unwilling in his heart, he still had to make a fake. Besides, the tea in Qingyuan Mansion is not delicious, and Dong Chuchen does not drink sweet tea, so he has not drunk sweet tea for a long time. I haven't drunk it for a long time, and I'm really hungry.
"Okay, I'll teach you later. Shu Zhaoyi and Qing Xihuan walked leisurely towards the lobby, all the way through the stream, the pavilion, the pond, the fish in the pond jumped happily, and the water at the trouser legs of Qing Xihuan was shaking.
"By the way, why don't you see Brother Chu Fan, and Kelan?" Qing Xihuan looked at the fish that Sahuan was, and remembered Dong Kelan.
"Chu Fan was caught by Kelan and went to the princess's Caiyi Hall to play, and it is estimated that he will come back later. Shu Zhaoyi smiled.
"I see. Qing Xihuan couldn't help but be a little disappointed that she couldn't see the true face of this different princess.
The two walked towards the guest hall, talking and laughing along the way, and they were as friendly as a mother and daughter for many years.
"Mother, mother!"
Before the two of them stepped out of the back garden, they listened to the maid's heart running in a panic, and after bending down to salute, they hurriedly said, "Niangniang, Concubine Xian is here......
"Ah, what is she doing again?" Shu Zhaoyi's originally friendly and gentle face suddenly became cold from fright, and the corners of her eyebrows also frowned.
Qing Xihuan understood that this concubine should be a character who was not on good terms with Shu Zhaoyi.
"What should I do...... Niangniang" Xin'er's face was full of panic, and she asked breathlessly.
"Of course it's welcome, can you still drive it away?" Shu Zhaoyi twisted her eyebrows, looked at the fish jumping high in the pond, and sighed at Qing Xihuan.
"Huan'er, you can watch the fish play freely here for a while, and I'll come back later." After Shu Zhaoyi finished speaking, she also called Kerr to accompany Qing Xihuan.
Qing Xi nodded happily, not ready to go with Shu Zhaoyi.
"Yo, the maid said that Shu Zhaoyi was sick, isn't this a good place to stand there?" Just as Shu Zhaoyi was about to drive, she only heard the sound of the pearl falling on the jade plate, and a red dress flashed outside the doorway, and a gorgeous woman who was not in a small battle appeared in front of her.
In the past, the woman wore a gorgeous crown, made up beautifully, and dragged a robe to come.
"I've seen Concubine Xian, Huan'er, this is Concubine Xian. Shu Zhaoyi bowed her knees and called Qing Xihuan behind her.
Qing Xihuan had no choice but to follow Shu Zhaoyi to worship together, "I have seen Concubine Xian Niangniang." β
Concubine Xian didn't get up, but slowly stepped forward and looked at Qing Xihuan.
"What is this?"
"Oh, this is the righteous daughter of the concubine, the daughter of General Qingyuan's family, Huan'er. Shu Zhaoyi looked at the ground and explained.
"Qingyuan's daughter?" Concubine Xian couldn't help but be slightly shocked, why was Qingyuan crazy and asked his daughter to worship the nameless Shuzhaoyi as her stepmother, raised her eyebrows and looked at her for a long time, seeing that Qing Xi Huan was so handsome and extraordinary, not stupid, what is this?
"It's a maid. Concubine Xian stretched out her hand to the maid Shu'er behind her to ask for a handkerchief, and wiped the sweat from her chin with a bit of ridicule.
Shu Zhaoyi didn't know how to answer, but she saw Qing Xihuan behind her, and replied unhurriedly, "Yes." β
Concubine Xian didn't expect Qing Xihuan to answer simply, so she couldn't help but pay more attention to Qing Xihuan.
"Sure enough, the concubine and Zhaoyi are really a family, if you are a concubine, you can't look down on Shuzhaoyi, and if you are a concubine, you can't look down on a concubine. Concubine Xian humiliated both of them with a word, and seeing Shu Zhaoyi's ugly face, Concubine Xian laughed loudly.
Qing Xihuan didn't care, he didn't care about the dignity of his seniority, so he wouldn't go to his heart, but he insulted Shu Zhaoyi so blatantly, wouldn't he insult himself?
At this moment, a koi fish pond bounced up, splashed countless water waves, and escaped into the pond again.
Qing Xi smiled, stepped forward, and bowed in front of Concubine Xian and said, "Concubine Xian Niangniang has good eyesight, and she can see that the little girl is a concubine at a glance, and the little girl listens to Niangniang's words and gestures, and she can't see that Concubine Xian Niangniang is Niangniang." β
Qing Xihuan's words made Shu Zhaoyi stunned, and Concubine Xian was angry.
"What do you mean? The daughters of the concubines have such a tone, I'm afraid that Qingyuan has no way to teach or even Qingyuan doesn't want to discipline her, so she simply hand it over to Shu Zhaoyi, so you don't have to come out in this remote place to be embarrassed?"
Concubine Xian's tone was sharp and aggressive, and she couldn't wait to trample Qing Xihuan under her feet to lecture.
"Back to the mother, it's not, today I came here to see the concubine Niangniang's face and as a concubine should have the number of etiquette, the mother called the little girl to have an epiphany, and the little girl was taught. β
"Bold, where did you get the courage to talk to me like this? Do you think you're amazing?" Concubine Xian raised her eyebrows, squinting at Ni Qingxihuan and sneering.
"It was taught by Concubine Xian. Niangniang is a role model for the harem, and Niangniang's words make the little girl learn to remember it in her eyes and heart, and she dare not forget it. Qing Xihuan said indifferently.
"How dare you dare to learn from me, don't forget your identity. Concubine Xian's tone gradually increased, and she said indignantly.
"With the sages as teachers, since ancient times, the dignified and elegant concubine Niangniang, isn't it to take the queen as an example, and take the virtuous and solemn as a model. The following is a little girl's tutor, and it is also a ritual law since ancient times. The little girl must take Concubine Xian Niangniang as a model and learn etiquette well. Qing Xihuan bowed slightly.
Concubine Xian knew that she was bickering, but she was a daughter of the Qingyuan family, even if she was a concubine, she didn't dare to offend much, and she moved out of the queen to say something, so she couldn't say anything rude to the queen. I had to clear my throat, hold back my anger and say, "Get up, Shuzhaoyi will teach more in the future, don't understand the rules, it's good to trespass." β
"Concubine Xie Xian. Qing Xihuan got up and helped Shu Zhaoyi up.
Shu Zhaoyi didn't know why Concubine Xian wasn't angry today, such words on weekdays would be defined by her as arrogant words, but at the moment, she didn't care much about it, but made Shu Zhaoyi deeply uneasy.
Shu Zhaoyi did not look up, looking humbly at the ground. Qing Xihuan saw Concubine Xian looking at Shu Zhaoyi with an arrogant and domineering face.
"I heard that there is a tea called Shuzhaoyi Mansion called Please Fall Flower, the taste is very good, it is clear and depressed, but it is elegant and fragrant, the breath of Zhilan, clear and fragrant, the people who have tasted it are all fragrant lips and teeth, lingering, thinking about tasting it, I don't know if Shuzhaoyi appreciates the light and boils a lamp. Concubine Xian approached Shu Zhaoyi, with tall willow eyebrows and a slight jade face.
"It's a great honor. Shu Zhaoyi lowered her head and turned sideways, and only when Concubine Xian walked by did she dare to follow behind her and walk towards the front of the hall.
