Volume 1 Chapter 120 Ordering Tea
Xu He, who had been delayed in Yangzhou for a long time, finally embarked on his way home.
Xie Liangcai, this guy can't go with him because he has something to do, this time it's not that he lingers in the Qinglou, he covets other girls' bodies under the guise of Wenhui, it is said that he has something at home, and he will rush back to Yiling after sending Shen Xuan away.
When they returned, they still took the waterway.
Although the big ship was not as stable as when it came, fortunately, the Zhou family was destroyed and there was no pressure, and Xu He's whole person relaxed.
Along the way, he saw the warships of the guard and the county flying by, and Xu He knew that this should be caused by the extermination of the Jiangyan water bandits.
When they got off the boat in Hailing, five schoolchildren came, three of them are still schoolchildren, but the identities of the other two have changed.
The two schoolchildren who were forcibly pressed by Li Zhijie to get married, now seeing that Xu He was already reluctant, the two of them bowed deeply, and they touted themselves, wanting to maintain the fate of being together for many days.
However, his classmate Liu Zhigao looked the most gloomy, he failed to make the list in the government examination this time, and his family said before the exam that if he still didn't win, he would have to learn to do business.
Once you become a businessman, you will have no fate with studying and becoming an official in this life.
is also from a social science, originally everyone was still running the same line, but now Xu He and Chu Yuan can continue to move forward on the road of the imperial examination, and they are undoubtedly a loser, which makes Liu Zhigao very disappointed.
As a human being in two lives, Xu He naturally wouldn't persuade him to do anything about three hundred and sixty lines, and he patted Liu Zhigao's arm and smiled: "I have time to come out and gather!" ”
Liu Zhigao pursed his lips, nodded gratefully at Xu He and hurried away.
Chu Yuan looked at his back and said, "Xiaohe, why don't you persuade him to insist on it any longer, maybe he will win next year!" ”
Xu He shook his head: "Everyone's family background is different, and the thoughts of the family are different, Liu Zhigao is not a child, he is responsible for his own choice and the choice of his family!" ”
Chu Yuan nodded as if he didn't understand, a little stunned in his heart.
The two walked together for a while, Xu He was going to turn north and go to Shisheng Street, while Chu Yuan was going to continue to go east out of the city gate to go home, after the two said goodbye, Xu He walked towards Shisheng Street.
As soon as he arrived at the gate, he knocked on the door more than ten times, but no one opened the door, just when he was about to go to the house of the elder or his uncle next door to have a look, suddenly a vigilant voice came from the courtyard and asked, "Who is it?" The host is not there! ”
Xu He was stunned when he heard this, Feng Xiaozhu hasn't left yet?
"It's me, Xu He!"
The people in the courtyard heard the voice and exclaimed in a low voice: "Yes, it's you back!" ”
The next second, the courtyard door opened, and a woman in a pale yellow dress held the courtyard door with one hand, fiddled with the corners of her clothes with the other, lowered her head and said with a red face: "Aunt went to Master Xie's house to visit the patient, and I was the only one in the family!" ”
Xu He saw Feng Xiaozhu again, only to see that because of her stable life these days, the soothing and intellectual beauty on the goose egg face became more and more obvious.
Xu He looked at her skirt again, and couldn't help but think of the slender and straight leg silhouette he saw on the sandbar that day, and the proportions were really amazing.
Feng Xiaozhu Xu found Xu He's gaze, her pretty face flushed, and she suddenly put the Tianzu exposed outside her skirt into the hem of her skirt.
"Xu Gongzi, come in quickly, I'll pour you tea!" At this time, Feng Xiaozhu didn't have the appearance of desperately fighting with the thief that day, and his voice was like a mosquito.
Xu He wanted to laugh when she saw her full of shame, she gave Xu He the impression that she was decisive and intelligent, unlike the character of most women in this era.
Unexpectedly, the two of them were alone, and there were no thieves by their side, but she was like a mimosa.
When he entered the courtyard, because he was an unmarried man and woman, Xu He only sat at the stone table in the courtyard.
After a while, Feng Xiaozhu walked out with a tea tray, only to see her stretch out her slender jade hand, and forcibly suppressed the shyness in her heart and said, "This is the iron arhat sent by Gongzi Xie a few days ago!" ”
Xu He looked at the plate along her hand, and saw that the tea leaves of the black-brown knot were gently dialed into the tea and then into the bowl.
After pouring hot water, she took out the cup and waited for a while, she pinched her orchid finger, her index finger clasped the lid and gently turned her wrist, and the yellow tea soup was suddenly poured into the cup like a thin thread.
The whole process is pleasing to the eye, although it does not have the complicated processes of the so-called [tea master] in later generations, but the whole process is really pleasing to the eye with her snow-white wrists and slender jade fingers.
After ordering the tea, Feng Xiaozhu blushed and brought the teacup to Xu He with both hands: "Xu Gongzi, you taste it!" ”
Xu He didn't rush to pick up the teacup and drink, but picked up the lid of the tea bowl that Feng Xiaozhu had just grabbed, turned it over and put it on the tip of his nose to sniff lightly.
Feng Xiaozhu's eyes lit up when she saw this, she didn't expect Xu He to know how to taste tea.
Tie Luohan is a kind of oolong tea, but also the main member of Wuyi Mountain rock tea, this kind of tea after brewing the soup color is clear, the tea aroma is attractive, after brewing the rich tea aroma, you can smell the inside of the lid first, the aroma here is the most thorough and clear.
"Well, I didn't expect the girl to know the art of tea! The water temperature and soaking time are just right, just enough to fully release its orchid fragrance! ”
After speaking, he picked up the teacup and took a sip, but after the tea soup overflowed in his mouth, the initial slight bitterness dissipated, and then, the tongue immediately returned to sweetness!
It's been a long time since I've drunk such a good rock tea.
Xu He narrowed his eyes slightly comfortably and drank the rest of the tea soup.
When he opened his eyes, he found that Feng Xiaozhu was staring at him nervously, as if he wanted to ask [Is it delicious]?
Xu He exclaimed: "Miss Feng's means of making tea is really superb, this soup time, one more second is bitter, one second less is dull, amazing, really amazing!" ”
Feng Xiaozhu was praised by him, his whole face was flushed, his lips pursed slightly, and he was obviously very happy in his heart.
"In the past, at home, my father liked to drink tea the most, and he also liked to collect tea leaves from all over the world, so I studied how to brew these teas to bring out their best aroma!" Feng Xiaozhu explained in a low voice.
"In the end, it is a family of hundreds of years, the background is different, a concubine can study tea art at home!" Xu He sighed in his heart.
But this old boy in Fengfang is really, when his daughter encounters such a big thing, doesn't he have any movement?
At this time, Feng Xiaozhu hesitated for a moment and asked, "Young Master Xu, I heard that your government is the head of the high school examination, and the people of Daoxi blocked the entire street, and then my aunt still set up a banquet at home to celebrate!" ”
Xu He was slightly stunned, he didn't expect the home to be so lively.
Feng Xiaozhu snorted a little embarrassedly: "What is the question of the Gongzi in the system of the government examination this time?" ”
Xu He looked at her in surprise when he heard this: "The girl still understands righteousness?" ”
Feng Xiaozhu waved his hand again and again: "I don't understand, I don't understand, I just learned a little bit randomly!" ”
Xu He smiled and read out the questions of the government examination and the essay he had written.
Who knew that Feng Xiaozhu, who was still shy and timid just now, was stunned in place after listening to his article.
"What's wrong? Miss Feng? Xu He thought something was wrong with her.
Who knew that Feng Xiaozhu looked at him deeply and said: "The text of the son is tranquil and happy, with the lofty style of the ancients, and this style is unheard of in my righteous articles, the method of crossing the binding, the ups and downs of reading, which is unforgettable." ”
At this moment, she was thinking in her heart: "Even my father couldn't make this kind of article when he was young, right?" ”
Xu He said in his heart: "I didn't expect that a young girl would also know how to make righteous articles, and this is still the concubine of the Feng family, sure enough, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon in the family!" It's not that there is no kind of gentleman in the novel, but there are really few of them. ”
Just when the two were talking happily and the atmosphere was harmonious, suddenly the crying of a woman and a child came not far from Xu's house.
