Two hundred and four, the jade tea ceremony

"Awen's letter?"

Jingyi Garden, at the gate of a boudoir, Qin Ying, who was dressed in a strong suit, was blocked by a strong man in black.

The man stood meticulously, with a black forehead tied on his head, with some military temperament, and said with a glance at this moment:

"The marshal said that the letter must be handed over to the little lady, and let the little lady make her own decision."

"What's the matter?"

The stout man in black shook his head.

Qin Ying looked at this rather familiar face, and vaguely remembered that it was a personal guard beside Ah Weng, and after checking the token to prove her identity, she took the envelope.

The stout man in black turned to leave.

Qin Ying returned to the study, opened the envelope, and looked at it curiously.

The expression on his face faded away, his brow furrowed, and then loosened.

After much thought, she stood up and walked out.

Qin Ying went to Xie Lingjiang's boudoir to find someone.

But when he arrived at the place, he was nowhere to be seen.

I don't know where this Sister Xie has gone. There is only one hot spring eye in the courtyard with the sound of tinkling water.

Qin Ying turned to leave,

In the open space next to a rockery not far from Xie Lingjiang's boudoir, some big white geese were raised.

In this era of the Great Zhou Dynasty, geese were still elegant things, and the scholars would raise them in captivity for fun.

However, when Qin Ying passed by, he saw a few geese among them, with sparse goose feathers on their bodies, and they were about to become bald geese, and their baldness was in danger.

Yesterday, she asked Sister Xie curiously, Sister Xie had strange eyes, and then explained that this seemed to be done by Ouyang Gongzi when he was bored, saying that he liked to tease the white goose and pluck the goose feathers.

No wonder Ouyang Gongzi has come to look for Xie Lingjiang a few times recently, Qin Ying sometimes passes by, and the sound of white geese running away can be heard from a long distance, and at the same time, there are a few strange muttering, saying strange things such as the arrival of the ink fairy, and at that time I thought it was the female scholar next to Ouyang Gongzi who was playing.

I didn't expect Ouyang Gongzi to have a habit of plucking goose feathers.

Qin Ying smiled and shook her head, turned around and returned to the study.

Looking at the somewhat tricky letter in her hand, she thought for a moment, walked to the bookshelf, opened the wooden box, and took out a purple sachet.

At first, she made two, one for Lidalang, and one for someone, but later found that someone didn't seem to be lacking at all.

Qin Ying didn't actually think too much, but blessed Sister Xie and Ouyang Lianghan in her heart.

Sister Xie really likes him.

Of course, to say that she is not envious at all in her heart is also false.

As for Lidalang...... Pretty honest.

Although she looks like a stuffy gourd when she goes shopping and hunting together, Qin Ying doesn't hate it either.

It's not impossible to look at it everywhere.

As for this matter that Aung sent a letter to mention today......

Qin Ying looked down at the envelope.

Instead, he went to put the sachet away again.

Immediately afterwards, she went to change out of the Hu costume of the autumn hunt in the afternoon, and then walked to the desk to sit down, and took the paper, ink, pen and inkstone.

He gritted his pen and bowed his head to write a reply silently.

……

"What did Little Lady Qin say?"

Yunshui Pavilion, 3rd floor.

As soon as Da Lang entered the door and sat down, Ouyang Rong couldn't wait to ask.

"Tan Lang can't urge me to ......"

Lidalang, who originally entered with a smile on his face, looked a little sad.

"Ahem, okay, tea."

Ouyang Rong poured a cup of tea for Li Dalang.

Last time, I asked Da Lang to go to Qin Ying to inquire about Qin Jingqin's attitude, and whether there were any trends in Wei's marriage.

Today, Ouyang Rong and Li Dalang made an appointment to drink tea in Yunshui Pavilion to discuss the matter.

Fortunately, thanks to Ouyang Rong's excuse, Li Dalang was able to leave the palace generously and temporarily get rid of the nagging of Li Xian and Wei Mei.

However, Ouyang Rong came here to find out the trend of the marriage between the two families of Qin Wei, and Li Dalang came to really drink tea with great interest, in his words, he just held it for too long.

Recently, Ouyang Rong and Yan Liulang have been busy, and the three of them have no time to make an appointment.

Like today, Yan Liulang didn't have time to come. And if there is only one person, there is not enough excuse to leave Da Lang and leave the house......

Ouyang Rong didn't know about his friend's careful thoughts, especially when he just entered the box, he had a small expression that made his eyebrows and eyes from Da Lang, and he simply learned all the bad things about Yan Liulang's kid.

In other words, why can't Da Lang learn his righteousness?

After Ouyang Rong finished pouring the tea, he couldn't help but sigh and advised:

"Da Lang, I know you don't like to go on a blind date with Little Lady Qin, but you be careful not to get caught, not only is it disrespectful, but it will also make ...... disappointed the prince and princess. ”

"No, Qin Ying went to autumn hunting this morning, she has been going there often in the past two days, and I don't know how to hunt, and it was also troublesome in the past, she should also know that she didn't force it."

Ouyang Rong wanted to speak and stopped, he wanted to teach him a little, and swallowed back the words to his mouth.

As Da Lang said before, he doesn't like a woman with a strong position like Qin Xiaoniang, because his mother and sister are this type, and they are fed up.

"As for my father and mother, Tan Lang will never tell the truth."

Away from Da Lang's eyes, he looked at someone.

Ouyang Rong shook his head:

"You just have to be in control."

Lida Lang sighed:

"Tan Lang, I'm so old, I'm in my twenties, and I'll be thirty in a few years, and I should have taken a concubine.

"But my father, the king, and the queen mother didn't arrange these for me because of the blind date, and they didn't mention it at all, so I could concentrate on currying favor with Qin Ying.

"Now I'm not driving in Jiangzhou, and I also have the identity of the prince of Xunyang, looking at the scenery, but it's like doing it for nothing, nothing is free, and it's not as easy as Liulang, at least he doesn't have to be nagged by his family, he is already a seven-rank official who is more powerful than his father."

Ouyang Rong pursed his lips:

"This is the responsibility, the responsibility of the eldest son, the responsibility of the prince of Xunyang."

Bow your head away from Da Lang:

"Yes, Tan Lang, I realized very early on that everything I have gained, including the superior life, comes from the bloodline given by my father and mother, and the bloodline of this Taizong also allows me to enjoy the honor, but also to take responsibility and obligation, and the responsibility and obligation to Xunyang Palace."

He muttered a few words to himself, raised his head, and was very serious:

"But I'm still unwilling, I envy Tan Lang and Xie Xiaoniang for such a mutually attractive relationship.

"I was unwilling to listen to my father and mother, and suddenly decided to be a person who would be with each other for the rest of my life.

"Actually, it's not that I can't be like my father, I love after marriage, and I only love my mother for the rest of my life, and I can do it, and treat the main room honestly.

"However, my father was not like me before, he was chic in Chang'an when he was young, and he also married concubines, he experienced a lot, and after knowing what he wanted, he honestly married the main family.

"Tan Lang, I've thought about it these days, if I marry Qin Xiaoniang right now, I will have a life in front of me that I can see at a glance and guess.

"Again, I'm not dishonest, or I'm a little unwilling, and I've been with people I don't like or hate all my life...... This feeling is as boring as burying one's head in Dragon City before, and now that I finally left Dragon City, why can't I pursue something more free. ”

Ouyang Rong made a face: "Don't give me a small composition, just say, what do you want to do?" ”

"What is a small composition?"

Lida Lang muttered curiously, and quickly explained:

"I don't want to do anything, I just want to slow down, don't get married so soon......

"Hey, now in the palace, I can't stay for a moment, if there is a place like Yunshui Pavilion, relax, and Tanlang and Liulang accompany me, I may run away from home one day and wander the world."

Seeing that Ouyang Rong's face became serious, he hurriedly waved his hand:

"Just kidding, don't talk about this.

"By the way, aren't you asking, Wei's matter, I asked Qin Ying on the side, according to what she revealed, the Qin family currently has no men of the right age to marry, this is very sure.

In addition, she also denied that the Wei family had found their Qin family, and in turn, seriously told me not to think about it. She probably thought I was suspicious and unconfident before asking. ”

"That's good."

Ouyang Rong breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing that the business was almost talking, Li Da Lang immediately looked around, and immediately asked with great interest:

"Tan Lang, do you know that Yunshui Pavilion has recently launched a new health tea ceremony, what is it called 'Jade Man', listen, what a short and direct name."

"Is this drinking tea, or drinking people?"

"Can't you drink them all?"

Ouyang Rong held his forehead and couldn't help complaining:

"The owner of this Yunshui Pavilion still doesn't open a restaurant, let's go to a party, it's getting more and more outrageous to be a good place. The decoration of this building is not bad, how good it should be to be a teahouse, and it is also the highest file in Xunyang City. ”

"Tan Lang, cough cough, I think this is very good, serious on the surface, but not serious on the inside."

Lida Lang said happily: "The road is really wide." ”

"If you are not serious in the serious, I guess you like this tune."

Ouyang Rong shook his head speechlessly.

Li Dalang smiled embarrassedly, and suggested thoughtfully:

"Tan Lang, why don't you try it too? This 'jade man' is the highest standard tea ceremony in this building, and now only two tea masters can do it...... It can be discussed, and it is fixed in the best two boxes on this floor to drink tea, one is the Tianzi box, and the other is the ground box. ”

Lida Lang said with relish:

"Tan Lang, do you know what to call them when drinking tea?

"Haha, you have to shout honorifics, that is, son-in-law, or Mr. Woman, it's okay, how do you feel it, this tune, tsk, how do they understand men so well."

“……”

Ouyang Rong was silent, not knowing what to say.

Li Da Lang lowered his voice and whispered:

"Tan Lang, I just went upstairs and booked a box with a local name, and I want to leave it to you, why don't we go together? This is a new thing, I heard that it is a fashion from the Qinhuai River in Jinling, why don't you experience it? ”

Ouyang Rong didn't know what this thing was, and shook his head:

"If you go to Rokuro, I don't want it, I love purely."

"What is pure love?"

"Pure love seals the heart and locks the person you love."

Li Da Lang's thick eyebrows and big eyes are very positive:

"Then I am also pure love."

"No, you're a pure scumbag."

Li Dalang shook his head vigorously:

"I have pure love in my heart, but Tanlang doesn't understand. True pure love is to get out of the mud without staining, I go into the mud first, and then get out of the mud without staining, this is called washing the lead. ”

"Don't mess with words and pollute my ears." Ouyang Rong warned seriously.

Lilang coughed twice:

"My room is open, I guess the tea master has arrived, and he will leave first......

"Wait, don't go yet."

Ouyang Rong grabbed his friend and asked:

"You take Little Lady Qin's reply, and then talk about it carefully......"

Li Dalang had no choice but to nod helplessly and continue to speak.

……

"Free up the two best boxes in your Yunshui Pavilion, and my master will invite your guests to taste tea."

At this moment, in front of the counter in the hall downstairs, an indifferent man wearing a hat smashed a bag of silver on the table.

He raised his hand and pressed the brim of his hat, covering up some conspicuous Xianbei appearance.

At the same time, in the small alley at the back entrance of Yunshui Pavilion, there were two ordinary carriages, parked quietly.

The carriage did not move, no one came down, as if waiting for something, very low-key.

Passers-by probably won't notice.

Inside the building.

"The best of the two?" The fat shopkeeper hesitated: "But one has already been booked." ”

He turned his head to look at Shi Leak, and his face was sad:

"It's not time for the box yet, and the girls have to rest and recuperate, or wait......"

Knock ——!

It seemed that a heavy bag filled with bricks smashed on the table.

The fat shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, and looked at the calm face under the brim of the man's low-key hat.

Without saying a word, he turned and went upstairs.

Coming to the door of the box, the fat shopkeeper glanced at the "Do Not Disturb" sign hanging at the door.

This is the rule of the third floor of Yunshui Pavilion, there is a private room for guests, and there will be a sign to prevent accidental entry.

With a hesitant look on his face, he cautiously pushed the door open.

"You're sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry for the free cost today...... Hey, what about people? ”

The fat shopkeeper looked around curiously.

He called out to a bewitching woman who was dressed in a cool tea master costume and was very good at sweating at first glance:

"What about the guests in the local box? Qiuyue, isn't this one where you pick up guests? ”

"I don't know, I haven't been here, it's been half an hour." The top tea master named Qiu Yue shook his head.

The fat shopkeeper breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately took off the "Do Not Disturb" sign at the door of the box with a happy face.

Then he ran downstairs in a hurry......

About half an hour later.

"Okay, okay, I know, Tanlang, you drink tea, and when you go back, you won't send it, cough cough, I'm busy."

Lida Lang came out of Ouyang Rong's box, wiped his sweat, seemed to be finally freed, rubbed his hands, and walked back to his box.

When he came to the door, he glanced at the "Do Not Disturb" sign on the gatehouse, and then turned his head to look next door, only to see that the door of the Tianzi box was also closed, and there was a "Do Not Disturb" sign.

"This business is really hot, after all, it's such an expensive price, hey, it's a pity that Tan Lang doesn't come, it's cheap for others."

Lida Lang shook his head, and then pushed the door in with a calm face.

It was as if he was back at home, he was familiar with the road and walked with a straight waist

As soon as he entered the door, he commanded with a big grin:

"Son-in-law, pour tea for my son, I'm dying of thirst if I talk too much......

"Eh, why is the son-in-law wearing so many clothes? Oh, I see, this taste is worthy of being a 'jade man'. ”

"Good...... Okay, thank you for the compliment. ”

The woman in the room was stunned for a moment, and her tone was soft.
