Fresh carp food silk chop, parsley Bijian soup.
Marquis of the daily feast will be so extravagant, extremely fine workmanship, jade plate delicacies, colour and taste, eat as if the phoenix marrow and dragon liver, people will not forget.Just such a meal, do not know how much silver, but certainly not a small amount is.
After the meal, there was a small maid who used a small tea tray to bring a fragrant tea to Zhu Pingan.
Zhu Pingan noticed that the Marquis House Old Lady’s table had not yet been served with scented tea, but this little maid served herself a scented tea first.From the rest of his eyes, he noticed that the several ladies of the Marquis Mansion, including Fatty Zhou, were looking at him with probing and joking eyes, seemingly waiting for this bumpkin to make a joke.
From their eyes, Zhu Pingan only thought for a moment and knew that this cup of tea was intentional.
After the rebirth of the Ming Dynasty, although after meals did not use tea to rinse his mouth, but read the Dream of the Red Chamber, for these luxury families after meals with tea to rinse their mouth habit is also known.
Therefore, can only make the crowd disappointed, Zhu Pingan took the tea cup slightly hooked the corner of the lips.
Look, that bumpkin took the teacup, giggle, he wouldn’t really drink it as tea, giggle!
Marquis Sixth Miss stared at Zhu Ping An with a pair of big eyes without blinking, her eyes excitedly flashed out many little stars.
Zhu Pingan received the teacup, living up to the expectations of the teacup up, only to see the white jade porcelain bowl, pieces of tender tea as if the bird tongue, dark green in colour, turquoise liquid through a burst of fragrance, what a good tea, just used to gargle, it is really extravagant ah.
In the sight of all the people, Zhu Pingan picked up the tea cup, then he drank a big mouthful, a big mouthful.
Surprisingly, he took such a big sip
It’s like chewing peony, really no talent at all!
Inside the living room, apart from Li Shu’s master and servant, everyone else had a few smiles at the corners of their lips, just waiting to see Zhu Pingan’s jokes.In particular, the Sixth Miss Marquis had already shifted her gaze from Zhu Pingan to Li Shu, waiting to see what Li Shu’s expression would be when Zhu Pingan made a fool of himself.
However, to the disappointment of the Sixth Miss Marquis, Li Shu did not have a nervous expression on her face.In Li Shu’s mind.Even if Zhu Pingan didn’t know that it was gargle tea, so what, this Marquis is just a group of toads in the well that are holding on to the little bit of glory that was left behind by their ancestor, and they don’t see Mount Taishan!All a bunch of toads who are stuck in their ways but think they are the best.
Just the next scene.Disappointing the Marquis’ Sixth Miss and the others once again.
After Zhu Pingan drank a large mouthful of tea, he then turned his gaze to the little maid who had brought the tea, and it was only under Zhu Pingan’s gaze that the little maid slowly brought out the gargle, and then Zhu Pingan rinsed his mouth with the tea.He then rinsed his mouth with the tea and handed the tea cup back to the little maid.
This bad guy, always likes to tease people like this.The corner of Li Shu’s mouth slightly hooked up a smile, then also rinsed his mouth with the tea.
After rinsing her mouth, a small maid brought another cup of tea, and this tea was the tea to drink.
Li Shu picked up the tea, slender jade hand pinching the tea lid gently knocked a few rims of the cup, cherry lips slightly blowing, put the tea on the lips, qiong nose slightly sniffing, but put it down again.
“Fifth sister.Why don’t you drink ah, but you’re not used to drinking?Why don’t we have someone brew a bowl of sugar water for sister?”
Marquis sixth young miss blinked her big watery eyes, asking like a curious baby, her expression was full of concern between sisters, only between words, it was easy to remind people that Li Shu came from the countryside, with a feeling of faint contempt.
“Yeah, not used to drinking it.”
Li Shu sniffed, her big watery eyes looked at her sixth sister with a smirk, a faint playful smile on the side of her small mouth.
Before the Marquis Sixth Miss’s smile bloomed.Li Shu, however, continued:
“The tea is fine and slightly curved, like a bird’s tongue, the leaves are golden yellow, and the colour is tender green.The tea colour is bright, the aroma is clear and high, this is authentic Huangshan Mao Feng, right?”
Marquis sixth young lady slightly surprised, “Fifth sister good eyesight.”
“Just look at the cup of tea buds shrivelled, the colour is tender green but through a touch of withered yellow, smell the aroma is low.This Huangshan Mao Feng is afraid to be aged tea, right?”Li Shu’s slender jade hand held an embroidered handkerchief gently wiping her wining lips, a touch of obvious dislike intentionally overflowing from her dark ink-like eyes.
Marquis Sixth Miss’s small mouth slightly opened wide, very surprised, did not think that Li Shu could tell that this was Huangshan Mao Feng, moreover, did not think that Li Shu could also tell that this was stale tea.
“Drinking tea should be new, drinking wine should be aged.In my family, I try to drink new tea, but I am not used to drinking this old tea.When I came here in previous years, the house still drank new tea, but now I’m drinking stale tea.”
Li Shu put down the embroidered handkerchief, a pair of clear eyes staring at the sixth sister, beautiful eyes flow, a slight smile, faintly open, said and turned to stand behind the buns little maid carelessly commanded, “Painting, ordered to go down, pigeons to send home, send two carloads of this year’s new tea, oh, remember to rainy day dragon well.When the new tea is picked after this year’s spring, then send two more carts.”
“Okay miss.”
The bun little maid sniffed, puffed up her chest, answered in a neutral voice, turned around and walked out, godly, her feet were lifted up high.
The people of the Marquis Mansion
This girl’s temper really hasn’t changed at all, Zhu Pingan glanced at Li Shu, who was covering her small mouth and had a ladylike temperament, and silently skimmed his mouth.
The dinner of the Marquis Mansion was dispersed in this way, the people left separately, except for the Marquis Mansion’s old madam who said take your seat at the beginning, she never said anything to Zhu Pingan again, and she didn’t treat Zhu Pingan as the son-in-law of the Marquis Mansion at all.
Of course, Zhu Pingan did not take this to heart at all.
After the dinner, Zhu Pingan followed the original road to the guest room, along the way from time to time there are shuttle maids and boys, but these maids and boys look at Zhu Pingan’s gaze is a little strange, seems to carry a sense of ridicule.
These maids and boys know the master of the Marquis House like the back of their hand, and when they see the obviously unfamiliar face of Zhu Pingan, they know that Zhu Pingan is the new fifth master of the Marquis House today.For them, the marquis house most powerful of course, the old lady of the marquis house, and then followed by the inheritance of the Marquis of Linhuai big master, but to say that the marquis house is the richest or three masters, every year the marquis house of the running expenses, many are three masters to fill in, every year the marquis house to send the three masters of the steward, the light of the silver is a few carriages several horse-drawn carriage several horse-drawn carriages to the house pulling.
However, what they can not figure out is that the third master’s most favoured jewel in the palm of the fifth miss, but promised to a poor countryside scholar.This news in the marquis house then spread everyone knows, let a lot of boys steward heart is not flat, the countryside poor showman, not as good as them, envy and jealousy, the marquis house will circulate a lot of version of the story about this five aunt masters.
What into the family, inverted door ah and so on, anyway, each version is not good words is it.
So, now that you’ve seen this fifth aunt, you can’t help but think of those versions of the fifth aunt’s story, and they don’t dare to say anything on the surface, but in their hearts, they are severely despised.
