Chapter 357: Tea tasting in the hermitage
After chatting about the matter, Wang Xifeng shouted into the house, and Qin Keqing and Xue Baochai walked out again.
"Uncle Chu lent you money?"
Qin Keqing asked Wang Xifeng with a smile, which made Sister Feng complain for a while, blaming her for talking too much, but Qin Keqing said with a heart: "Later, my wife will go to the treasury with you to get the silver, isn't it to be seen?" Can you still move back with 50,000 taels of silver? ”
Wang Xifeng raised his hand and was about to twist her face: "You are a person who likes to listen to the root of the wall, and you even have to understand how many taels others have borrowed, why, you also want to borrow a few thousand taels from Uncle Chu for your younger brother?" ”
Qin Keqing hurriedly waved her hand, indicating that Qin Zhong was not her younger brother.
Wang Xifeng realized that he had said the wrong thing, so he was embarrassed to mention it again, but he didn't go to ask for the silver immediately, but said it another day, and he wouldn't bother Daiyu today.
I don't know if Qin Keqing said it, for fear that he would be seen when he moved the silver.
Seeing Wang Xifeng away, Chu Zhen and them sat on the couch and chatted again.
Qin Keqing knocked on the melon seeds, looked at the tablet, and told Chu Zhen about the things she usually heard about Rongguo Mansion, focusing on "money" and Wang Xifeng.
"She wanted to send some maids out of the house, but Mrs. didn't let her, so she had to stuff them into the garden, but there were few things to come to the garden, and the monthly money was sent in time, and our wife was rewarded and generous during the New Year's holidays, and the maids and women in the house were all willing to come, and some of them deliberately made mistakes, waiting to be punished to come to the garden, which made her angry enough!"
Our wife, Sister Lin.
Seeing Sister Lin looking over, Chu Zhen smiled at her and said, "If you can stay, you can't stay, don't want it, anyway, a maid doesn't need much money for a year." ”
Daiyu said: "Of course I don't know if I don't care about my family, although the maids don't have much money per month, but the rouge gouache, the weekday food they wear, everything costs money, and now there are enough people in the garden, so there is no need to add more people." ”
Chu Zhen nodded and let her decide for herself.
Qin Keqing swallowed a melon seed and continued: "After getting acquainted with me, she always complained to me about no money, at first I thought it was her money-greedy nature that was doing the trick, and persuaded her to spend less, she also scolded me for not taking care of the house, of course I don't know." ”
Chu Zhen laughed, Wang Xifeng was a human spirit, and she had guessed Qin Keqing's true identity.
Xue Baochai covered Zhu Hong's small mouth with a fan, and said in a low voice: "Rongguo Mansion has a big shelf, and it costs money inside and out, and someone came to the door to collect debts a few days ago. ”
"How can this be?!" Qin Keqing looked at her with a surprised expression.
Xue Baochai said: "I heard my brother mention it, saying that the eldest master owes thousands of taels to others. ”
"Owed to whom?" Chu Zhen looked at her.
Several people noticed that something was wrong, and Uncle Chu was particularly concerned about this matter.
Xue Baochai thought for a while, "I heard that it is a foreigner surnamed Zhao in the Ministry of Rites, how can he owe it, I don't know if I haven't paid it back yet." ”
Chu Zhen was about to speak, and the maid outside the door shouted, "The girls are here!" ”
"It's the second sister." Daiyu got up to greet her, and Yingchun was older than her among the three girls of the Jia family.
Chu Zhen watched Yingchun, Tanchun, and Xichun coming, but this time there was no Jia Baoyu, which made him feel strange.
The three sisters saluted him.
You Tanchun spoke: "Uncle Chu always brings gifts to us every time he comes, so let's be embarrassed, and I don't know how to give Uncle Chu a gift in return." ”
Chu Zhen smiled: "If you do this again, I will let Sister Lin not send you something next time." ”
The three of them were busy and apologized.
Chu Zhen looked at Yingchun and said, "It just so happens that we are talking about your family." ”
Qin Keqing was so shocked that she hurriedly covered her mouth, she was talking about people behind her back just now, why did Uncle Chu say it?
Xue Baochai was also a little nervous, but he knew that Uncle Chu would not talk nonsense.
"I... Family? ”
Jia Yingchun, who has a soft temperament, does not fight or grab, and can even be said to be a little cowardly, everyone can see her nervousness.
Chu Zhen said: "I looked at your life, and I can see that the person you marry in the future will not be very good." ”
Jia Yingchun was at a loss, and Tanchun hurriedly asked, "Who is the second sister going to marry in her life?!" ”
"It's not who you want to marry, it's not ...... your destiny"
Chu Zhen thought for a while and said to Yingchun: "I won't say who that person is, it is related to your marriage, and when you know that your father is going to marry you to someone in the future, you must come and tell Sister Lin." ”
Yingchun came back to his senses for a long time and agreed, Tanchun couldn't help but say: "Our marriage is decided by our parents, Uncle Chu... What should I do? ”
Chu Zhen said with a smile: "When the time comes, there will always be a way, and in addition, if you know which family's son and young master have good character, you can also find a way to inquire." ”
Several girls in the room blushed, and Daiyu also covered her face with a fan, "Uncle Chu said something inconsequential again. ”
Qingwen, who was listening on the side, interjected and said: "The lord wants to help us from the bottom of his heart, the first few maids and wives in the house who were driven away, the wife sent someone to redeem them, and the lord saw the girls' lives, so he told the girls this." ”
Several girls with different appearances in the room looked at Chu Zhen in unison, Qin Keqing nodded with deep sympathy, she received the most help from Uncle Chu, only... Only by making a promise can you repay his kindness.
She was also willing to be an aunt in the garden, and she didn't want to go anywhere.
"Thank you, Uncle Chu!"
The three sisters saluted Chu Zhen again gratefully.
"What are you doing too?" Chu Zhen asked Second Miss Qin with a smile.
Qin Keqing covered her lips and smiled shyly, and then went back to sit down on the couch.
Xue Baochai fell silent again, not knowing what he was thinking.
Maybe it was because of a heart-to-heart conversation today, and the three of them stayed at the Xiaoxiang Pavilion for dinner.
After eating and resting, Daiyu proposed to go for a walk and invited the three of them to go together, but they didn't say goodbye and went back, but followed Chu Zhen and his party for a walk for the first time.
Chu Zhen walked with them before, and he still accompanied Jia's mother, and everyone came to the garden together.
Everyone came out of the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, and a large group of people were swept away.
What Chu Zhen saw, Qingwen, Zijuan, Xiangling, as well as Baochai's maid Ying'er, Qin Keqing's maid Baozhu and Ruizhu, and the personal maid of the three sisters, and Sun Cunliang and other eunuch palace maids, it is comparable to a spring outing organized by the school.
A group of warblers and swallows, the girls are playing and playing, full of laughter, and it is the warm spring breeze blowing, the willow branches are fluttering, flowers are blooming everywhere in the garden, Chu Zhen is in sight, all are beautiful scenery, it is really pleasant.
Soon, Daiyu and Qin Keqing got into trouble, and the two chased after each other, causing several people to hurriedly follow Yingchun.
Baochai was dignified and steady, and she was the most afraid of heat, she stayed by Chu Zhen's side alone and walked slowly with him.
"Uncle Chu."
Qingwen, who heard her voice, glanced up, and then looked at Miss Lin who was caught by Miss Qin in front of her, and the two of them were laughing loudly, not knowing that Miss Bao was going to whisper something to the master.
Why did Qingwen know that it was a whisper?
See it at a glance!
"What?"
Chu Zhen didn't know that Qingwen who was following behind him had so much thought, and he was enjoying the scene of Sister Lin and the others fighting.
Baochai whispered: "Uncle Chu just talked about his life, I don't know what my life is?" ”
She was worried.
Chu Zhen glanced back and guessed what Sister Bao, who was "ruthless and moving", was thinking, and only replied to her after a while: "Miss Bao wants to get married?" ”
Baochai's full moon-like face was flushed, and Chu Zhen heard her speak in a half-coquettish, half-shy, and soft-spoken voice for the first time: "Uncle Chu wants to laugh at me, so just laugh." ”
"Haha, it's not!"
Chu Zhen couldn't help laughing, but Qingwen behind him heard him laughing!
"What's that?" Baochai held a fan with a mandarin duck playing in the water in his hand, and asked as if he was unforgiving.
"It's curiosity."
Chu Zhen wanted to be perfunctory, but Baochai refused to let him go, "Curious why I asked about the number of lives?" ”
"It's not." Chu Zhen looked at the plump and fair-skinned Xue Baochai, and laughed in a low voice: "I'm curious about whether Baochai is ruthless or affectionate." ”
Xue Baochai's face was flushed, and he lowered his head, so as not to be seen by the frolicking girl in front of him.
With the cleverness of the girl, you can see her at a glance...... In the process of being molested by Uncle Chu.
Uncle Chu said this, not only called her name, called her Baochai, but also asked her...... Whether it is "affectionate" or not.
How does she answer?
Behind her, Qingwen looked at Miss Bao who bowed her head shyly.
After a while, I heard Miss Bao reply: "Who is a ruthless person in the world?" ”
That is, sentient beings?
Chu Zhen said: "Some people are born with weak feelings, to be honest, I can't tell whether Miss Bao is affectionate or ruthless, among all people, it is Miss Bao who is the most difficult to guess." ”
Baochai bit her lip, and her heart fluctuated for a while.
Chu Zhen changed the topic and said, "Originally, Miss Bao's fate was to marry Jia Baoyu. ”
"He...?"

Baochai whispered: "Marrying him can help the family, my mother is willing." ”
The voice was very quiet, Chu Zhen couldn't really hear it, and Bao Chai hurriedly asked: "In two months, Second Master Bao is going to marry a girl from the Xia family, thinking that my life has changed, and the Chu Immortal will look at me again...... What is the number of hits? ”
Chu Zhen turned his head to look at Xue Baochai.
This time it was to look at it openly, not to look away from it with just one glance before.
And, this time it's close.
The two slowed down.
Chu Zhen saw that Xue Baochai's skin was as white as snow, moist and shiny, plump and dignified, and she was worthy of being the first of the twelve hairpins with Daiyu.
was looked at by him like this, Baochai's heart beat hard, but he didn't avoid it, and he didn't say a word to him.
Chu Zhen retracted his eyes and said with a smile: "Xia Jin...... The girl of the Xia family was originally going to marry your brother. ”
Baochai said "um", "Now that my fate has changed, my mother doesn't want me to marry into the Jia family, but chooses another family to help ......."
"Sister Bao! Uncle Chu, you go quickly, we have arrived at the Lucui Nunnery, let's go to Meilin for a cup of tea! ”
Daiyu in front shouted to her, Baochai hurriedly stopped talking and walked forward briskly with Chu Zhen.
To everyone's surprise, Miaoyu, who was dressed in paddy field clothes and was cold and dusty, was already waiting at the intersection of the road below the mountain with a few little nuns, and after seeing Chu Zhen and others, they greeted them together.
"I've seen the Immortal."
Miaoyu stepped forward to give a salute.
Chu Zhen asked her, "Didn't bother you, did you?" Next time, we don't have to be so excited, we are just passing by, and we don't have to drink tea. ”
"The immortal is serious, and it is Miaoyu's luck to be able to entertain the immortals."
Miaoyu said something like a sycophant, and Chu Zhen didn't know if it was or not, so he went up the ramp with her.
After going around half of the hill, a plum forest appeared in front of him, and after seeing the green plums on the trees, Chu Zhen thought of one thing and couldn't help laughing.
Daiyu smiled when she saw him, and remembered it first.
"Huh?"
Chu Zhen looked strangely at a pavilion hidden in the plum grove in front of him, turned his head and asked Sister Lin, "When we came before, was there a pavilion here?" ”
Daiyu was quite proud: "In winter, we came to enjoy the plum blossoms, I saw that there was no place to sit in the plum forest, so I discussed with Miaoyu and built a pavilion here, allowing Uncle Chu to rest and drink tea." ”
Qin Keqing walked into the pavilion and said with a smile: "It's a good thing that there is a pavilion, and we can sit with Uncle Chu's light for a while when we come on weekdays." ”
As she spoke, her round buttocks sat down on the bench in the pavilion, her feet stretched out comfortably, and the tips of her embroidered shoes were stretched straight.
Chu Zhen could see clearly that Qin Keqing's legs were really long.
Miaoyu glanced at Qin Keqing, who was as charming as a fox spirit, and said to everyone: "You wait for a while, I'll serve tea." ”
So everyone sat down, watched Miaoyu return to the nunnery, and soon came out with a few nuns with various cups, distributed teacups for everyone, and poured tea.
Chu Zhen didn't know what kind of kiln this teacup was, but from the perspective that he had grown a lot of insight with Li Qingzhao, this teacup was not bad, and Miaoyu was a white rich and beautiful woman with hair cultivation.
Daiyu took a sip of tea, smiled at Miaoyu and said: "On weekdays, we come to you, the teacup used is not ordinary, and the tea leaves are also mediocre. ”
This sentence made Chu Zhen, Qin Keqing, and Tanchun laugh hard, and Xue Baochai also covered his lips and smiled, and said to Chu Zhen:
"Uncle Chu, look at the girl, last time Miaoyu laughed at her for not being able to drink snow water, she was a layman, she didn't say anything at that time, but Uncle Chu came, so she sued you!"
Miaoyu also showed a shallow smile and said to Daiyu: "You have tasted the origin of my tea-making water, so do you know what my teacup is?" ”
Daiyu said deliberately: "What good teacup can you have?" ”
Miaoyu replied to her proudly: "It's not that I'm talking crazy, I may not be able to find a teacup like me in the Guogong Mansion, only the brand-new Ru kiln of the Song Dynasty brought by Uncle Chu can compare with my teacup." ”
Daiyu was surprised, "You are a person who leads the cultivation of hair, and you also have a teacup that can compare to Ruyao?" ”
Everyone laughed.
Miaoyu realized that she had fallen into her trap, and she became embarrassed for a while, and her face was full of anger, and it was not easy to attack, so she had to say: "These are all brought by me before I left home." ”
Daiyu pulled back a city.
Chu Zhen witnessed the fighting methods of the two, and had a new understanding of this Miaoyu, who was extremely disgusted with dirty odors and had a serious habit of cleanliness.
She is arrogant and self-admiring, but she may not like to be lively.
If you want to be clean, the sky may not be empty.
After pouring tea for everyone, Miaoyu sat down, and after Chu Zhen took a sip of tea, she asked her, "You also collected snow water on the plum blossoms this year?" ”
Miaoyu is a person, the character is very elegant, in modern terms, life is very exquisite, the sense of ritual is sufficient, and even the snow on the plum blossoms is used to make tea.
That's not all, she moved all the way from the Xuanjiao Panxiang Temple to the capital, but she still had to bring a jar of snow water.
It's enough to see her character.
"Yes."
Miaoyu was a little proud: "In February, the plum blossoms bloomed, and it happened to snow again, so I deliberately got up early, bathed and changed clothes, and gently scraped the snow on the plum blossoms with a spoon in the morning, and buried it in the jar." ”
"It's so elegant!" And they all said.
It is the plum blossoms in February, and the bathing and changing clothes, and the collection of snow water on the plum petals little by little, the hermits in the mountains may not be as elegant and poetic as her.
Chu Zhen also felt very elegant, but he didn't say it and panicked, so after taking a sip of tea, he turned his head and said to Sister Lin: "You studied physics, do you know how snowflakes condense?" ”
Daiyu tilted her head slightly to think, her eyes first looked at Miaoyu, knowing that it was related to her, and after remembering that the snowflakes condensed, she looked at Baochai and shirked: "Sister Bao also studied physics, so it's better to talk about Sister Bao." ”
Baochai hurriedly shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.
Miaoyu asked Chu Zhen directly: "Dare to ask the immortal chief, how do snowflakes condense in the sky?" ”
And everybody looked at it.
Chu Zhen took another sip of tea before he smiled and said: "Water transpirates into gas, but simple qi can't condense into snowflakes, and a tiny condensation nucleus is needed to form a snowflake to fall." ”
"Condensation nuclei?" Qin Keqing asked curiously.
"It's dust!"
“……”
“……”
The plum blossom snow tea in everyone's hands suddenly stopped smelling.
Miaoyu's pretty face flushed.
Chu Zhen took a sip of tea slowly: "However, it's okay, dust is everywhere, and the dust in a little snowflake is nothing." ”
Miaoyu didn't speak for a long time.
Daiyu hurriedly said: "Uncle Chu has drunk it, everyone is fine when they drink it, Miaoyu, don't take it to heart, he is just joking with everyone!" ”
Qin Keqing drank tea with a smile, he didn't care, as long as Uncle Chu drank it.
Xue Baochai didn't care.
Everyone drank tea silently.
After a while, Miaoyu stood up suddenly, and said with a cold face: "I wanted the weather to be good tomorrow, and I wanted to invite Uncle Chu to pick tea, but now I don't have to, I want to come and do these things in the eyes of the immortals are just vassals and elegance, the snow water I drink is dirty, and the tea leaves I pick are also ...... Be! ”
didn't come out, Miaoyu turned around and left, Chu Zhen seemed to see her eyes red, thinking that the words just now really hurt her.
Chu Zhen said to her back: "Since it is Miaoyu's invitation, we will definitely come tomorrow!" ”
Miaoyu's slender body stopped, and it took a while before she replied indiscriminately: "Then I'll prepare tea tomorrow......"
Everyone watched her leave with messy steps, knowing that her heart was also in turmoil.
Daiyu said angrily: "When Uncle Chu said that, it was no less than a slap in the face to Miaoyu. ”
Several people chuckled, but Xichun, who was closest to Miaoyu, said: "Miaoyu is not too angry, but he was just ashamed when Uncle Chu pointed out this matter." ”
Chu Zhen raised his hand in surrender and said, "Then tomorrow I will bring some gifts to ask her for forgiveness." ”
Daiyu happily said that she would prepare a gift for him when she went back later, and she would bring it to Miaoyu tomorrow.
Qin Keqing shouted at Miaoyu, who was about to return to the Lucui Nunnery: "Uncle Chu said that he will come tomorrow to give gifts to make amends, Master Miaoyu should not blame!" ”
Everyone was taken aback, Miss Qin Er was really two!
"It's okay to come, but there's no need for a ceremony."
Miaoyu stood in front of the gate of the nunnery and replied from afar.
This is to forgive Chu Zhen, I don't know if I am angry, or I feel that I have regained face.
In short, everyone is happy.
