24 Bucket of tea
Mrs. Yongle Bo is famous for her popularity in Beijing, and this time she held a snow bucket tea banquet, and half of the officials and relatives of Shangjing and Thailand came. For a while, the clothes and sideburns at the gate of the courtyard were so lively.
As soon as Qi Mingle took Zhang Yunyao into the courtyard, he saw a little girl with a round face, waving a handkerchief at them.
Qi Mingle didn't know this little girl, so he turned his head to look at Zhang Yunyao.
"This is Zhou Miaomiao, the youngest daughter of the Zhou Yushi family." As soon as Zhang Yunyao finished speaking, Zhou Miaomiao came over, and Zhang Yunyao introduced to her again, "Miaomiao, this is my sister-in-law." ”
"Hello sister-in-law." Zhou Miaomiao smiled sweetly at Qi Mingle.
Qi Mingle also responded with a smile. Seeing that Zhang Yunyao and Zhou Miaomiao were familiar with each other, Qi Mingle asked them: "I heard that there are many rare plum blossoms here, I want to take a look, do you two want to go with me to see plum blossoms, or go to the warm pavilion first?" ”
"Let's go to the Warm Pavilion." Zhang Yunyao has always been afraid of the cold, so she chose the second option without hesitation.
Qi Mingle nodded and agreed, and asked Yinsui to follow Zhang Yunyao, and she took Caihe away.
After Qi Mingle walked away, Zhou Miaomiao came over and whispered, "Yun Yao, didn't you dislike this sister-in-law before?" Look, you two have a good relationship now! ”
Zhou Miaomiao and Zhang Yunyao are of the same age, and after the two met a few times, they felt that they could play together and became good friends.
"She is my eldest brother's wife, and I have to call her sister-in-law if I like it or not. Okay, let's not talk about that, it's so cold, let's go to the warm pavilion. ”
"Oh, good." Zhou Miaomiao and Zhang Yunyao walked together in the direction of the warm pavilion.
Today it is said that it is a tea banquet for appreciating plum blossoms, but because of the cold weather, the ladies are afraid of the cold, so they all stay in the warm pavilion. In the huge plum garden, there are very few people who come to enjoy the plum blossoms.
Qi Mingle didn't come here to enjoy the flowers, just to walk around.
A few days ago, because Zhang Yuanxiu was ill, she stayed in the room every day, and her bones were about to be softened. Now that he has gone out, Qi Mingle wants to walk around and blow the wind to wake up.
As far as the eye can see, the entire plum garden is covered in silver. The plum trees, which had been cleared by the subordinates, were covered with stamens of various colors, and the faint fragrance of plum floated in the air.
Looking at this situation, Qi Mingle suddenly sighed.
Caihe, who was following behind, hurriedly asked, "Young lady, what's wrong?" ”
"This weather is very suitable for hunting on horseback." In the past, when they were in Litang Pass, every time the snow stopped, Qi Mingle and Qi Mingzhao would sneak out and ride horses to hunt and eat.
Caihe mistakenly thought that Qi Mingle wanted to eat barbecue, so he said: "Then after returning home, the slave maid asked the kitchen to prepare roasted mutton?" ”
Qi Mingle, who is not meaty, doesn't care, she mainly wants to run a horse. But when Caihe said this, she didn't explain more. After the two walked around the plum garden, Qi Mingle's desire to run a horse did not dissipate, but became more and more intense.
"No! I still want to run horses. Qi Mingle stopped and turned to look at Caihe.
Caihe: "......"
Qi Mingle is a person who wants to do it, she immediately stopped visiting the plum garden, and went directly to the warm pavilion to find Zhang Yunyao. But she didn't want to, as soon as she entered, she was stopped by someone.
"Isn't this Miss Qi? Oh no, it's time to change your name to Mrs. Zhang. ”
Qi Mingle turned his head along the way, and saw a lady with a high hair comb, standing in front of the screen with a handkerchief. This person is not an outsider, it is Wei Min's own sister Wei Rou.
A few days ago, Wei Rou went back to her parents' house and heard that Wei Min was in the Buddhist temple and was almost beaten by Qi Mingle again.
Although Wei Rou resented her younger brother in her heart, as the eldest sister, her younger brother was bullied, and she, as an older sister, would not stand idly by. Since she met Qi Mingle here today, she wanted to be angry for her younger brother.
"Today is a plum tea banquet, we have already appreciated plum blossoms, this tea has not been beaten? Mrs. Zhang, why don't we play a game, please ladies and ladies take a look at the fun? ”
The people who were originally talking in twos and threes heard the commotion and turned their heads to look at it.
Zhou Miaomiao saw that the atmosphere was not right, so she asked Zhang Yunyao: "Yunyao, how can I see that Mrs. Li is deliberately embarrassing your sister-in-law?" ”
Zhang Yunyao, who was originally wiping her hands with her head down, immediately turned her head to look over when she heard this.
Qi Mingle just wanted to run a horse now, and he didn't want to accept the offer at all, so he simply decisively refused: "No, I'm not free, I still have something to do, borrow it." ”
After speaking, Qi Mingle wanted to come over to find Zhang Yunyao, but was stopped by Wei Rou.
"If you're here to play today, how can you not be free?" When she said this, Wei Rou paused, and asked with a half-truth, half-truth, "Or are you afraid of losing?" ”
Seeing Wei Rou's appearance of hiding needles in the cotton, Qi Mingle knew that she was here to find a place for Wei Min.
When others want to fight, Qi Mingle accompanies them, but like this kind of tea fight, Qi Mingle doesn't know anything. She thought that if she really compared, she was also a loser, so why waste that time.
"I ......" As soon as Qi Mingle spoke, he was intercepted.
"Compare to whom, who is afraid of whom!" Zhang Yunyao walked to Qi Mingle's side from the crowd, her voice full of confidence and determination.
Qi Mingle simply wanted to cry without tears. She secretly gave Zhang Yunyao a look: Little ancestor, if you let me fight wine with others, I have nothing to say, but I can't fight tea!!
Zhang Yunyao calmly replied to Qi Mingle: I didn't expect your eyes.
Qi Mingle: "?! ”
Zhang Yunyao didn't look at Qi Mingle again, but said to Wei Ju: "But compared with you, I don't need my sister-in-law to take action personally, I will compare with you on her behalf." ”
Qi Mingle looked at Zhang Yunyao in disbelief, is she okay?
Zhang Yunyao snorted arrogantly, and the whole person was full of confidence.
Wei Rou frowned slightly, she wanted to be angry for her younger brother, but now she killed Zhang Yunyao.
"What? Look at your hesitant look, afraid of losing! Zhang Yunyao returned what Wei Rou had just said to Qi Mingle to Wei Rou.
There was a burst of low laughter in the crowd of onlookers.
Someone even quipped: "Little girl, you are young, but your tone is not small!" ”
"No, this sister said it first." Zhang Yunyao raised her hand to Wei Rou, her face full of innocence, "I thought that before the tea fight, everyone would say that, didn't they?" After finishing speaking, Zhang Yunyao looked at everyone suspiciously.
For a while, everyone's eyes suddenly fell on Wei Rou. There are disapprovals, ridicule, and good shows, all of which are inconsistent. Wei Rou suddenly felt that her cheeks were hot, and she uncomfortably clutched the handkerchief in her palm.
Zhang Yunyao is just a thirteen-year-old girl, even if she wins today's tea fight, I am afraid that she will be talked about in the back. So Wei Rou hesitated for a moment, and when she was about to say no, Zhang Yunyao had already sat down at the tea table, and beckoned to her: "This sister, don't you stand, didn't you say that you want to fight tea?" Let's get started. ”
Zhang Yunyao's coquettish appearance that couldn't wait successfully made everyone laugh again.
Now that it can't be compared, Wei Rou has to sit down in front of Zhang Yunyao. The crowd of onlookers came together.
Noble girls like Wei Rou and others, ordering tea and arranging flowers are all things they have learned since they were young. Qi Mingle didn't have hope at the beginning.
But Zhang Yunyao wanted to compare, so Qi Mingle let her compare, and the consequences of losing would be borne by her sister-in-law.
But in the end, to everyone's surprise, Zhang Yunyao actually won. She, a thirteen-year-old girl, actually won Wei Rou, who was in double decade glory.
Wei Rou's whole face was also pale, she never thought that she would lose to Zhang Yunyao.
After watching Zhang Yunyao's tea, the onlookers were also amazed, and some people couldn't help asking: "Little girl, who taught you to order tea?" ”
"My master taught me." Zhang Yunyao didn't hide it.
"Who is your master?"
Zhang Yunyao said lightly: "Mr. Sanquan." ”
As soon as these words came out, there was a gasp in the crowd, and only Qi Mingle was puzzled and asked, "Mr. Sanquan is very famous?" ”
"Mr. Sanquan is a well-known tea master in Jiang Guo, when he returned to his hometown due to illness, he had a bit of fate with Miss San by chance, and Mr. Sanquan made an exception to teach Miss San to order tea." Caihe explained in a low voice the origin of Zhang Yunyao and Mr. Sanquan.
Zhang Yunyao stood up, ignoring everyone's astonishment, and only said to Wei Juju: "This sister, there are mountains outside the mountains, and there are heavens outside the sky, don't talk so much next time." Okay, sister-in-law, let's go. ”
"Well, let's go." After leaving the warm pavilion, Zhang Yunyao immediately shrunk her neck and urged, "Ah Hui, quickly bring my fox fur." ”
The maid hurriedly put the fox fur on Zhang Yunyao.
was blown by the cold wind, and Qi Mingle completely sobered up. She looked at Zhang Yunyao, who was pale and asked, "Don't you like me?" Why are you suddenly willing to help me today? ”
"I don't like you, is there a conflict with my willingness to help you?"
"You don't like me, shouldn't you be on the sidelines?"
"I don't like you anymore, you are also the wife of my eldest brother Ming Media, when others are bullying you, I am watching from the sidelines, my brain is not good?!" Zhang Yunyao glanced at Qi Mingle like a tsundere little peacock, turned around and walked down the corridor.
When Qi Mingle heard this, he was stunned, chased after him and rubbed it on the top of Zhang Yunyao's head, and said with a smile: "I can't see it, you are quite righteous." ”
Zhang Yunyao hated others rubbing her head the most, and she exploded in an instant-
"Don't rub my head! It won't grow tall!! ”
Although Zhang Yunyao is now thirteen years old, her figure is shorter than that of girls of the same age. In addition, Zhang Yuanyu hit him with this from time to time, because Zhang Yunyao was particularly obsessed with height.
"Okay, good, don't rub it, don't rub it." Qi Ming is happy to accept it when he sees it.
Zhang Yunyao glared at her indignantly, and immediately turned around to get into the carriage with her skirt, but she listened to Qi Mingle coldly and said, "I'll take you to play, do you want to go?" ”
"Where to go?" Zhang Yunyao immediately turned around.
Qi Mingle smiled mysteriously: "You'll know when you go." ”
Two quarters of an hour later, on the official road on the outskirts of Beijing, there was an extra jujube red horse, and there were two figures on the horseback, one red and one white. The surrounding snow is more and more conspicuous against the red shadow on the horse's back.
Silver Spike and Caihe stood under the tree and waited, watching the galloping appearance of the horses, Caihe rubbed his hands together, and was a little worried.
Zhang Yunyao is so big that she has never ridden a horse. And she has always been very afraid of the cold, Qi Mingle brought her over to ride a horse, Cai He was afraid that Zhang Yunyao would lose her temper after a while, but she didn't know that Zhang Yunyao, who was sitting on horseback at the moment, was shining with bright eyes and shaking Qi Mingle's arm: "Sister-in-law, let's run around again." ”
"How many laps are these?" Qi Mingle's face was full of helplessness.
Qi Mingle thought that Zhang Yunyao helped her today, and she reciprocated by taking her out for a ride. But I didn't want to, the little girl who was weak on weekdays saw the horse's eyes light up instantly.
Zhang Yunyao felt that horseback riding was very sassy, and she always wanted to learn. But Su Qinlan said that the girl's horse riding was too inelegant and dangerous, and she had always refused to let Zhang Yunyao learn.
Now that Qi Mingle has fulfilled Zhang Yunyao's dream of riding a horse, Zhang Yunyao instantly threw her prejudice against her out of the clouds, she shook Qi Mingle's arm, and was coquettish: "I swear, this is really the last lap, sister-in-law, good sister-in-law." ”
Qi Mingle had no choice but to take her and slip around again. Caihe, who was waiting on the side, saw that the horse had stopped, and hurriedly trotted over, and saw Zhang Yunyao pestering Qi Mingle and asked Qi Mingle to teach her to ride a horse.
Caihe: "......"
Is this still their tsundere third lady?!
Qi Mingle helplessly supported his forehead: "I can't be the master of this matter, you have to go back and ask your mother." If my mother agrees, I will teach you. ”
"Okay, I'll go back and tell your mother, you are not allowed to change the hexagram at that time!"
Qi Mingle nodded in response. Because of this horseback riding, the relationship between Qi Mingle and Zhang Yunyao suddenly improved. On the way back, she pestered Qi Mingle and asked Qi Mingle to tell her about her in Litangguan.
There was nothing to do on the left and right roads, so Qi Mingle picked up some interesting things and told Zhang Yunyao.
When they returned to Zhang's house, Zhang Yunyao's eyes were full of worship when they looked at Qi Mingle. She has a sister-in-law on the left and a sister-in-law on the right, and her mouth is more like honey.
After returning home, Zhang Yunyao had to follow Qi Mingle to their yard. Qi Mingle couldn't resist for a while, so he persuaded her to go back first.
"Caihe, I know for the first time today, and it's so tiring to talk." As soon as he went back, Qi Mingle drank three hot teas before he felt better.
Caihe smiled and said, "The third lady likes you, young lady, so she is so sticky to you." ”
While they were talking, a maid came in and said, "Young lady, the second young master is here." ”
Since that day Qi Mingle said that he wanted Daddy Qi to ask Duan Zhuang to build weapons for him, Zhang Yuanyu has been painting in his courtyard. After several days of deliberation and revision, he finally drew the style of his favorite weapon. As soon as he heard that Qi Mingle had returned home, he should come to Qi Mingle with the drawings.
After Qi Mingle took it, he took a look and found that Zhang Yuanyu was drawing a sword.
Seeing that Qi Mingle was watching, Zhang Yuanyu explained: "The master who taught me in the past used to use a sword. So after thinking about it for a long time, Zhang Yuanyu found that he was still a sword.
Qi Mingle nodded: "I'll go back and send it to my father with the family letter, and I'll tell you when there is news." ”
"Hey, okay, thank you sister-in-law." Zhang Yunyu thanked Qi Mingle again and again.
After that, Zhang Yuanyu asked some doubts about martial arts, and after Qi Mingle answered them for him one by one, Zhang Yuanyu left happily.
After Zhang Yuanyu left, after Qi Mingle took a bath and changed clothes, he walked to the table and took out a letter from the drawer-
It's the letter I wrote before.
