Chapter 28: Make a Pledge
"Nope." Zhao Yan refused very simply: "Tell him that I am sick and it is not appropriate to see him." ”
"Girl, didn't you hurt yourself like that just to let Jiang Cheng take the bait so that you could deal with Jiang Huaifu?" He said anxiously: "Why are you here, but you don't see it?" ”
"You don't understand." Zhao Yan leaned comfortably on the soft couch: "He will do it." ”
"The second girl is settled, what is the girl going to give?" Xiyu asked: "Can the slave and maid prepare first?" ”
"Not necessarily." Zhao Yan said with a smile: "I have already prepared." ”
Cherish the rain and cherish the time to look at each other, the girl prepared a gift? Why haven't they heard of it?
"The slave knows." Leaf laughed, "Aren't those two skinny horses?" ”
"The Leaf is smart." Zhao Yan praised with a smile.
"That's good." He laughed at the time: "When that day comes, take those two thin horses there, and the second girl's mouth will be crooked." ”
"Isn't it stupid!" Xiyu patted her.
"What's wrong?" I don't know what time to do.
Xiyu glanced at Zhao Yan and didn't speak.
The girl is also the little prince's person!
Give it to the little prince, and the girl must feel uncomfortable.
"Don't look at me like that." Zhao Yan glanced at them with a smile: "Me and Zhou Yu are not what you think. ”
Several people lowered their heads, not daring to speak.
That night, Zhao Yan once again "whispered in her sleep" concerned about Jiang Cheng's words and told him to leave her alone......
Jiang Huaifu tossed and turned all night.
Sure enough, at noon on the second day, news came that Jiang Huaifu and Jiang Cheng were fighting.
"At this time, Jiang Wang's family is closing Jiang Cheng, saying that Jiang Cheng will be punished for committing the following crimes, and he will be punished for his concubines." Leaf Briefing.
"Aunt Ni's people, it's time for it to work......" Zhao Yan stood by the ice lattice window, looked at a bush of cow tendon grass in the corner of the wall outside the window, listened to the report of the Leaf, and whispered.
Aunt Ni is Jiang Cheng's mother-in-law.
"What do you mean?" Leaf looked at her.
"Persuade Aunt Ni to go to Jiang Wang's family and intercede for Jiang Cheng." Zhao Yanying's white and slender fingertips tapped lightly on the window lattice: "Wait for Aunt Ni to come out of Jiang Wang's place, bring a few mothers-in-law, and beat her, and reveal between her words that it is Jiang Wang's meaning." ”
"Yes."
The Leaf bowed his head and stepped back.
*
On the day that Zhou Yu and Zhao Yuehua set a day, the weather was fine and cloudless.
Zhao Yan waited until the afternoon, when Shen Shi was engraved, before leaving the gate of the Fuguo Mansion.
As far as Nading is concerned, according to custom, the woman's family holds a luncheon, and the man's family holds a dinner.
What is there to go to at the luncheon in the Hou Mansion of Huai'an?
It is nothing more than to see their parents are loving, their children are filial, and the family is happy.
She didn't want to see that.
She pinched her fan and walked slowly down the street.
The dinner was held in the Huixian Restaurant, which was not far from the Fuguo Mansion.
She had come out earlier, and had walked around the bazaar, and it was almost time for the feast to begin.
"Brought out?"
She pinched the twelve torn skirts hanging at the door of the ready-to-wear shop and looked at them casually.
"Yes, it's all at the door of the restaurant." Leaf back.
Zhao Yan declined the hospitality of the store and continued to walk forward: "Can you dress properly?" ”
"It's all done as the girl wants." The Leaf is back.
"Girl, it stands to reason that Nacai is also a wedding banquet, and it should be held at home." I couldn't figure it out: "Why did the little prince put the wedding banquet in the restaurant?" ”
"What does the little prince think, how can ordinary people guess?" Zhao Yan replied nonchalantly.
She walked slowly to a teahouse, and couldn't help but stop when she saw the guy holding a ball of tea cakes and putting them on the counter.
In Obuchi, there are two types of tea.
One is loose tea, which is soaked in boiling water or boiled to become usable tea.
There is another one, which is group tea.
Tuan tea is to be ground into minced pieces, poured into boiling water several times and eaten, commonly known as order tea.
The royal relatives and nobles of the imperial capital, the literati and the ink writers all worship the tea, and there are often people in the teahouse who try to test the tea skills, called tea fighting.
The female relatives of large families, if they don't know how to order tea, will be laughed at.
Zhao Yan is the one who was ridiculed.
Ordering tea is not a day's work.
When she was young, she almost died several times, and she couldn't even maintain food and clothing, how could she learn such a rich skill?
After being with Zhou Yu, she learned a lot of things.
Tea is also among them.
However, her talent in this area is mediocre, and she is still average in skills, and she is too lazy to eat the tea she ordered.
But when she saw the group tea, she couldn't help but want to buy it.
Because, she once heard that her mother is a master of ordering tea.
Although her mother is a merchant girl, her skills in ordering tea are famous in Dijing.
Every time she sees the group tea, she will think of her mother, and she will feel a little kind from the bottom of her heart.
"I want a dragon group, a phoenix group."
She walked to the counter, her face half-covered by a fan.
"Okay! That's it for you! ”
The guy sang yes.
"Miss Zhao?"
Mencius stood up in surprise and joy.
The teahouse sells both group tea and tea, and Mencius was at the table inside, with tea utensils in front of him.
"What a coincidence." Zhao Yan bent her eyes and smiled at him: "Master Meng came to the teahouse and ordered tea by himself?" ”
"Miss Zhao come in and sit?" Mencius greeted her.
Zhao Yan looked at Tian'er, it was still early, and it didn't hurt to sit down.
She walked in with her skirt and sat down across from Mencius.
"This is a good friend's teahouse." Mencius explained to her: "The girl also went to the Huixian Restaurant for a banquet? ”
"Master Meng too?" Zhao Yan looked at him with the corners of her lips curled.
Mencius's face was hot, and he didn't dare to look at her directly: "Yes, it's still early, so let's come here and sit for a while."
Shall I order a cup of tea for the girl? ”
"I'm tired." Zhao Yan raised her hand with a smile.
Mencius took a small piece of tea, put it in the tea mill, and gently pushed it.
Zhao Yan watched his movements.
After Mencius had something to do, he was no longer so embarrassed, and meticulously swept the tea powder into the black building lamp.
He touched the small teapot on the small stove next to him, and explained with a smile: "I have to wait for the water to boil." ”
"I know." Zhao Yan bowed her head.
Mencius was a little embarrassed again: "I'm sorry...... The girl should also order tea......"
"I don't know how to." Zhao Yan said very honestly.
"How is that possible?" Mencius blurted out.
Zhao Yan is also a girl from the Hou Mansion of Huai'an, and ordering tea is a subject that everyone must learn when they are young.
Zhao Yan just smiled, how could a person like Mencius who was favored by the elders in the family understand?
The water boiled, and Mencius focused on the movements in his hands and stopped talking.
Zhao Yan looked at him with her cheeks raised, her apricot eyes smiling.
Mencius's movements are as free as flowing clouds and water, which is very pleasing to the eye.
"Girl, please."
Mencius gave her a cup of tea.
Zhao Yan picked up the tea cup: "The tea foam is like snow, bite the cup and don't let go, Master Meng is a good craft." ”
Although she doesn't know how to order tea, she can eat, and she knows whether the tea is good or not.
"The girl has won the prize." Mencius also picked up the teacup: "Please." ”
"I haven't won an award, and I want to be like this." Zhao Yan took a sip of tea, pursed her lips and smiled at him: "But it won't work." ”
"How?" Mencius put down the teacup and said, "If the girl doesn't dislike it, I can teach the girl some skills." ”
As he spoke, he took the tea-whisk and drew it in his hand: "When the girl strikes in the bowl, she should hold it like this, and her arms will not move, and she will ...... with skill."
As he spoke, he handed the tea whisk to Zhao Yan, carefully avoiding touching her hand, and taught her carefully.
Zhao Yan chuckled.
"What is the girl laughing at?" Mencius looked away.
Every time Zhao Yan laughed, he didn't dare to look at him directly.
"Master Meng doesn't have to be so careful." Zhao Yan turned her head to look at him: "Even if it touches my hand, I won't ask Master Meng to make a promise." ”
Mencius's face swelled red, and Ai Ai didn't know what to say: "I...... Girl...... I'm not ......."
Zhao Yan smiled even more wantonly.
On the side of the road across the teahouse, the two stood side by side.
"What's wrong?" Li Luduan put his hands in front of him, looking lively, and glanced at the imposing Zhou Yu beside him: "Are you going to just look at it?" ”
