Volume 2 Chapter 17 A little understanding

The woman is a tea officer, as the name suggests, she is a person who specializes in brewing and drinking tea with a specific process, and the family has a long heritage. Since the Tang Dynasty, the woman's family has made tea for the nobles for a living, and in the Ming Dynasty, she became a tea official dedicated to serving the royal family.

The royal family drinking tea is not as usual, and the process is even more complicated, and the woman has set up a shelf next to the white jade table, with a flat stomach and a hollow stomach at the top, and narrow at the bottom.

Place the tea set to be used on the shelf according to its position, and take the tea from Wei Banban's hand.

A little eunuch brought a basin of water, and the woman cleaned her hands first and wiped them dry. Open the tea jar and place it aside.

Then he took a pot of water from another eunuch, took out a small stove, put charcoal in it, lit the fire, and put the pot of water on the small stove to boil water.

While the woman was quietly waiting for the water to boil, Zhu Qiyu saw He Qiaoxin staring with interest, and said with a smile: "Qiao Xin, this water is the mountain spring water I ordered someone to bring from Yunwu Mountain, and it is the best to use to make tea, and it is not easy to obtain." ”

He Qiaoxin couldn't help but feel happy in his heart when he heard this, feeling that the nobles in the capital either took water from Yunwu Mountain or from Xishan, even the royal family.

The two watched, and the woman saw that the mountain spring water was boiling, took out the tea leaves, put them on the scales, took the appropriate amount of tea leaves according to the established standard weight, and put them in the kettle to boil.

The woman took out another stick of incense, lit it, and placed it next to the kettle.

After a while, after a stick of incense was burned, the woman opened the kettle, and the fragrance of tea permeated the white jade pavilion in the palace garden.

Ah Da shrugged his nose, and there was a hint of excitement between his eyebrows, obviously this tea can make people refreshed just by smelling the overflowing fragrance of tea.

The woman brought the kettle from the small stove to the side of the shelf, and poured tea from high to bottom. He Qiaoxin felt very amazing when he looked at it, he was obviously hollow, but he could magically fall around the edge to the bottom of the narrow position. I saw that there were only two teacups in the middle, and they were full little by little.

He Qiaoxin thought that these two cups of tea would be handed to him and Zhu Qiyu, but he just wanted to reach out to take them, but found that Zhu Qiyu had no movement to take the cups, so he saw the woman pick up the two cups of tea and walk a few steps, and then poured the tea into the soil of the garden.

Ah Da showed a painful look, and scolded the big dog again in his heart.

Seeing He Qiaoxin's puzzled expression, Zhu Qiyu pointed to the woman who was walking back to the shelf and explained:

"Qiao Xin, the first tea when making tea is called 'washing tea', and it is generally poured out. Wash the tea to remove the dust, and the tea is more fragrant. Washing tea is also the process of 'waking up tea', so that the tea fragrance can overflow and the taste of tea is more delicious. ”

Zhu Qiyu thought why Qiao Xin didn't understand the explanation, but he didn't know that He Qiaoxin just knew this, and He Qiaoxin didn't understand why he had to go so far away from falling into the garden soil.

"When brewing for the first time, use suitable water and temperature to stretch the leaves, wash off the floating ash on the surface of the tea leaves, so that the tea can reach the best brewing state, which is equivalent to a warm-up exercise for the tea."

He Qiaoxin gave his own understanding, and Ah Da stared at it with wide eyes, when He Qiaoxin knew how to make tea, he didn't know.

Zhu Qiyu roughly understood, but after groaning, he still asked puzzled.

"Qiao Xin, what is warm-up exercise?"

He Qiaoxin slapped his forehead, and then remembered that the word hadn't appeared yet. Rolling his eyes, He Qiaoxin explained:

"It's about laying the foundation and planning for the next step."

"This king understands!"

Ah Da pursed his lips, and slandered Zhu Qiyu again in his heart, you understand what you know, I haven't understood it for so long since I thought about it with him, you understand.

"Qiao Xin is really knowledgeable and knowledgeable, and this king admires him very much."

He Qiaoxin smiled "haha", and echoed in his mouth: "I understand a little!" Slightly understood! ”

At this time, the woman had already brewed the tea for the second time, took it out of the very narrow place at the bottom, and put it in front of the two, and the woman bent down to give a salute to the two, walked to the side and waited.

"Qiao Xin, come and taste it, Qianli Xiang is an ancestral tea official craft, and the tribute tea she brews is definitely the best."

He Qiaoxin was not polite, picked up the teacup with both hands, arched his hand at Zhu Qiyu, put it to his mouth and smacked it, and smacked it twice in his mouth.

"Your Highness, if the student's expectations are good, this should be Ningbo Tribute Tea, right?"

Zhu Qiyu's eyes lit up, the output of this Ningbo tribute tea is extremely low, and the share of all the tribute tea in the palace every year is also very small, He Qiaoxin can actually taste the origin of the tea species, which is really amazing.

"Qiao Xin has drunk it in Yang Hong's mansion?"

"Back to Your Highness, I haven't drunk it in Yang Hong's mansion." After He Qiaoxin answered, he couldn't help but be dumbfounded, good guy! Yang Hong pretended to be poor with himself, and he was enough to deduct it. I went to his house several times, and I drank the most inferior local tea, and it turned out that there was Ningbo tribute tea at home.

However, He Qiaoxin didn't plan to tell Zhu Qiyu the reason why he could taste the tea seeds, and he couldn't tell him that he went to Ningbo to buy ten catties of tribute tea in his previous life.

"That Qiao Xin is really a god! The first time I drank it, I was able to taste it, it seems that Qiao Xin has the three flavors of tea, and he is a person who understands tea. ”

He Qiaoxin's face was dumbfounded, and he whispered in his mouth: "I understand a little!" Slightly understood! ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, He Qiaoxin was too big behind him, he was afraid that he couldn't help but beat He Qiaoxin, today He Qiaoxin has a feeling of pretending to be X, and he wants to beat people up just by looking at his performance.

After drinking this cup, Thymexiang took the cup, came to the shelf and refilled another cup, Zhu Qiyu and He Qiaoxin continued to drink, and the fragrant tea fragrance choked Ah Da enough.

There wasn't much water in a pot, and after the two of them poured five cups, there was no more, and Thyme put away the things on the shelf, and took the two eunuchs to bring a series of objects down.

Zhu Qiyu, who had just tasted tea here, played with the jade wrench in his hand, and suddenly asked He Qiaoxin:

"Qiao Xin, what do you say about this world?"

He Qiaoxin was stunned, didn't understand why Zhu Qiyu asked, his face reminisced about the past, his eyes looked at the distance of the garden, and he thought for a while and replied:

"There are people everywhere in this world, but some people have fireworks, and the scenery of mountains and rivers in the wild is magnificent, and this world is very good."

"This king also feels that this world is very good, and this king also feels that this world is destined for me, Qiao Xin, what do you think?"

The corners of He Qiaoxin's mouth twitched, and his cheeks flicked, this is not something he can comment, if he doesn't say it well, someone will send his head back to He Mansion tomorrow.

Seeing that He Qiaoxin didn't reply for a long time, and had been sitting on the stone chair silently, Zhu Qiyu thought why Qiaoxin didn't hear the last sentence, and asked again:

"Does Qiao Xin think that this world has a fate with this king?"

He Qiaoxin: ......

Ah Da was also sweating on his forehead behind him he shouldn t listen to this king why is this king finished having to take off the heads of the two brothers this is.

When He Qiaoxin was thinking about something, his fingers would tap on the table, and now it was the same, only to see He Qiaoxin's right hand regularly knocking on the white jade tabletop.

The three of them were silent for a while, and He Qiaoxin said in a deep voice: "The student thinks that there is nothing wrong with what His Highness said, this world is the same as the royal family, and it is okay to say that His Highness has a relationship with the world." ”

"Hah......!" Zhu Qiyu laughed, stood up from the chair, patted He Qiaoxin on the shoulder, reached out to help He Qiaoxin dust off his body, and then said with a smile:

"Let's go, this king still has something to do in a while, so I won't send Qiao Xin out of the palace."

He Qiaoxin and Ah Da bowed to Zhu Qiyu, and He Qiaoxin said respectfully: "The student is retiring!" ”

The two walked out of the gate of the palace, and after walking a few hundred meters, Ah Da asked He Qiaoxin, who was walking side by side.

"Is it really the right place to come to the palace of the Emperor of the Emperor?"

"I don't know!"

In the garden pavilion of the palace of the king of Yu, Zhu Qiyu was eating pastries, looking at the direction of the mansion gate, and said inarticulately: "Mr. Gongsun, I hope you are right." ”

He Qiaoxin, who returned to Hefu, took out the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and Ah Da saw this next to him, and his expression tightened.

"Qiao Xin, do you really want to report His Royal Highness King Yu?"

He Qiao Xinguan'er, the brush was dipped in the inkstone, that is the future emperor, and people have a fate with this world in their lives, so he raised his head and said to Ah Da speechlessly: "What do you want?" Don't die, report that guy, I'm going to write to Yang Hong and scold that Qiu Ba. ”

Ah Da was very curious when he heard this name, and he had already heard it once in the Yuwang Mansion today.

"Who is Yang Hong?"

"Why do you care so much, you are a guard, just protect me, every day I think about what I don't have."

Ah Da touched his nose and walked out of He Qiaoxin's room in a daze. Seeing that Ah Da was gone, He Qiaoxin shook his head, picked up his pen and began to write a letter.

After two incense sticks, the letter on three pieces of paper was written, and it was the quintessential language inside, which was probably like this, and Qiu Ba didn't have to be polite, not to mention Qiu Ba who was still searching.

Due to the number of words written, the ink on the letter couldn't dry for a while, so He Qiaoxin simply put it on the case and walked out of the room.

As soon as he walked out of the room, he saw his housekeeper, Wang Fugui, the housekeeper of He Mansion, coming over.

"Third Young Master, Chen Xianzhang is here, and he is waiting for you in the main hall, do you see it or not?"

After He Qiaoxin heard Wang Fugui's words, he was happy in his heart, yo! Ah Da just finished the affairs of the three departments, the front foot just returned to Hefu, and the back foot Chen Xianzhang, the great Confucian of the world, came over, which is really a coincidence.

"See, why don't you see it, what gift did Chen Xianzhang bring?"

Wang Fugui let out a "uh", and then replied slowly: "Back to the third young master, I didn't bring a gift, but I brought a little girl over, who is about the same age as you, maybe his granddaughter." ”

"Interesting! Uncle Fugui led the way, and I will meet Chen Xianzhang and the little girl in your mouth. ”

Wang Fugui hurriedly walked forward, and He Qiaoxin followed unhurriedly and went to the main hall.

When he came to the main hall, Chen Xianzhang greeted him and shouted in the innermost.

"Qiao Xin really lives up to the name of a prodigy, the old brother is riddled with trivial matters in the faction, and his health is getting worse, but I didn't expect Qiao Xin to solve the problem for many years with a little trick."

The so-called reaching out and not hitting the smiling person, He Qiaoxin showed a professional smile, and said with shame: "Don't dare to be, let alone take credit, I understand a little!" Slightly understood! ”

The little girl brought by Chen Xianzhang sat on the chair, and when she saw He Qiaoxin behaving like this, her mouth pursed upward, and she said disdainfully:

"What to pretend, isn't it just a little clever and solved the problem by chance."

Chen Xianzhang glared back, and the little girl stuck out her tongue. He Qiaoxin was speechless for a while, this girl doesn't know whose territory this is, right?
