There is Room For the Poor Daughter - Chapter 449
[Chapter 449, drinking tea]
lunch, the women’s relatives ate in the old lady’s yard. After the meal, Daohua took a few girls to the back garden.
In the corner pavilion, the servant girls have already hung up the curtains and raised the charcoal basin.
Zhou Jingwan said without looking outside, “Hurry up and bring your good tea, and I will show you. ” Daohua
smiled and said, “Why, have you learned how to make tea?”
Mother has been studying for more than a month, no matter how stupid I am, I should learn it.”
Daohua: “Then let’s have a good drink of tea later.” He said, motioning Wang Maner to get the tea and tea set, and then He led Yang Xiuyun, Yan Yunxi and others to sit down.
Zhou Jingwan raised her chin: “Just watch.”
Yan Yile said with a smile: “Sister Zhou, my third sister is also learning how to make tea with my wife, why don’t you guys discuss it later?”
Zhou Jingwan looked at Yan Yishuang raised her eyebrows and said: “Comparison is comparison, anyway, I have only studied for more than a month, even if I lose, I am not ashamed.”
Yan Yishuang smiled shyly: “Sister Zhou is too modest, although I have studied for a while, but But she is very clumsy, sister Zhou must be merciful later!” Although her
words were modest, her expression was extremely confident.
She has put a lot of effort into studying and studying tea. Among the few sisters, she is the one who learns the best. In other respects, Mrs. Shen has always favored the eldest sister, but when it comes to drinking tea, Mrs. Shen often praises her. she.
Yang Xiuyun saw that Yan Yishuang was not courteous to the guests at all, and worried that Zhou Jingwan would be upset and cause trouble, so she raised her eyes to Daohua.
However, Daohua watched with a smile on her face and didn’t speak, showing no intention of stopping her persuasion.
After hesitating for a while, Yang Xiuyun tugged on Daohua’s sleeve and said in a low voice, “Let’s sit together and chat, drink tea, don’t you have to compete?”
Daohua smiled and said: “It doesn’t matter. I’m idle anyway. Let them compare and test their skills. We also have good luck.”
Yang Xiuyun was a little dumbfounded. Aren’t disputes unavoidable? Why is Cousin Yiyi so careless?
Do you have similar reception experience? Or is the way of hospitality different from that of the capital?
Seeing Yang Xiuyun’s worried face, Daohua explained with a smile: “Jing Wan is a big-hearted person. She said it was a competition, but she just wanted to have fun. Show her learning results, and she doesn’t pay much attention to winning or losing.”
“And Yi Shuang , she is very talented in drinking tea, the tea she brews is really delicious, let’s have a few more cups later.”
Yang Xiuyun’s expression was slightly stagnant, and she was quite surprised that Daohua didn’t mind the behavior of her concubine’s talent at all. .
Let the concubine sister show off, regarding this point, if Cousin Yi Yi is not an idiot, then she is a person with a big heart.
In the capital, no daughter-in-law would allow her sister-in-law to overwhelm her.
Obviously, Cousin Yi Yi, who can help the eldest aunt manage the housekeeping at a young age, is not stupid.
Suddenly, Yang Xiuyun was a little envious of Yan Yishuang. In the Yang family, the older sisters above her were not easy to get along with. Let alone let her show off, she would be thankful if they didn’t trip her up.
Soon, Wang Maner brought Gu Yu and Li Xia several sets of tea sets and several kinds of tea.
Yang Xiuyun glanced at the tea leaves in the box, her pupils shrunk, Longjing, Biluochun, Maojian… these are all tribute teas.
Sure enough, as the rumors said, the little prince and uncle’s family in Prince Ping’s mansion are making great progress.
Afterwards, Zhou Jingwan and Yan Yishuang started to make tea, and their actions were very pleasing to the eye. Daohua watched with a smile, asked Wang Maner to bring boiling water, and brewed a pot of Wuyi rock tea by herself.
Just when Zhou Jingwan and Yan Yishuang were about to make tea, chatter and laughter suddenly sounded at the entrance of the garden.
After a while, I saw Yan Wenxiu walking over with a group of people.
When Yan Wenxiu saw Daohua and the others in the pavilion, he was slightly taken aback, feeling a little annoyed in his heart, he should have sent someone over to see if anyone was there before coming over.
Although they are all acquaintances, they are also strangers after all.
However, now that we have come here, it is not easy to go back, Yan Wenxiu can only smile and say: “Everyone wants to see the flowers raised by our family, so I brought them here, I didn’t expect you to be here too.”
Daohua stood in the pavilion and replied: “The flowers are in the yard, you can look at them as you like.” As she spoke, her gaze moved and landed on Xiao Yeyang who was standing next to her elder brother, with a slightly surprised look on her face.
How did this guy come here?
Yan Wenkai looked at the steam in the pavilion through the bamboo curtain, and asked loudly, “Big sister, what are you doing in the pavilion?”
Before Daohua could speak, Zhou Jingwan said first, “We are making tea.”
Yan Wenkai Immediately smiled and said: “Then I have to go in and ask for a drink.” Then, regardless of other people, he walked towards the pavilion on his own.
Normally, Yan Wentao would not have followed such a disrespectful thing, but this time, he followed without hesitation.
He had heard from elder brother Zhou that Aunt Zhou had forced younger sister Zhou to learn how to make tea at home a few days ago, and he had to try her handicraft.
Seeing the two younger brothers walking towards the pavilion, Yan Wenxiu felt a little helpless. Seeing that other people were looking at him with great interest, he could only say, “Let’s try it too.”
Soon, a group of people entered the pavilion.
As soon as Yan Wenkai sat down, he said, “Aren’t you making tea? Come and let us have a taste.”
Zhou Jingwan immediately smiled and said, “I’m making Longjing tea, who of you
wants to drink it?” Yan Wentao replied in seconds: “I will drink it.” The voice was loud and fast, causing everyone to look at him.
Seeing everyone looking at him, Yan Wentao looked a little uncomfortable, and said awkwardly: “I like to drink Longjing tea.”
Zhou Jingwan didn’t doubt that he was there, and immediately poured a cup of Longjing tea with a smile, and handed it to Yan Wentao herself: “Third brother, you can taste my craft and see if it tastes good?” After drinking the teacup, he raised his head and drank it down.
Seeing this, Zhou Jingwan was stunned, and after a while, she asked, “Third brother, the tea is just brewed, don’t you think it’s hot?”
Of course it’s hot!
But Yan Wentao held back and shook his head pretending to be relaxed.
The corners of Daohua’s mouth twitched, and she smiled to smooth things over: “Third brother must be very thirsty.”
Yan Wenxiu glanced at Yan Wentao, followed behind Daohua and said, “Sister Zhou, I also like to drink Longjing.”
Zhou Jingwan smiled happily “I’ll pour it for you right away.”
Daohua looked at Yan Yishuang again: “Sister, what kind of tea are you making?” Yan Yishuang said with a slight smile
, “I made Biluochun.”
Immediately said: “I like to drink this.”
Han Hexu continued: “I also like the fragrance of Biluochun, and I have the third sister, Laoyan.”
Yan Yishuang smiled and poured tea for everyone gracefully.
Soon, everyone in the pavilion chose the tea they wanted to drink, except Xiao Yeyang.
Yan Yishuang looked at Xiao Yeyang, hesitated for a while, and finally did not bring him the tea in her hand.
Daohua glanced at Xiao Yeyang, who was joking with her elder brother, but did not ask any questions. She poured him a cup of Wuyi rock tea that she had brewed, walked over and asked, “Why are you here?”
Xiao Yeyang accepted it with a smile. After tea: “Chengye is here, of course I have to come and sit down.” As he spoke, he raised his brows, “Why, you don’t welcome?”
Daohua glanced at him, without saying a word, turned and walked towards Yang Xiuyun and the others.
The teapots used by Zhou Jingwan and Yan Yi to make tea were not big, and they disappeared after two rounds.
Fang Hao glanced at Daohua not far away, pondered for a while, and said with a smile: “Sister Yan, do you still have tea? I’m a little thirsty and want to have another cup.”
Daohua, who was joking with Zhou Jingwan, was stunned After a while, he blurted out: “I’m sorry, I don’t have any more tea here.” Then, he looked at Wang Maner, “Quickly, make another pot of tea for Mr. Fang.”
Wang Maner blessed his body: “Yes!” Then, in front of everyone, he quickly brewed tea. Although he was not as elegant as Yan Yishuang, his movements were smooth and natural, in one go.
When Yang Xiuyun saw her, she took a quick look at Daohua. The servant girl’s skill in making tea is so good, I’m afraid Cousin Yiyi won’t be too bad.
Fang Hao didn’t expect Daohua to refuse, his face froze for a moment, but he recovered quickly, and turned to talk to Yan Wenqi.
Xiao Yeyang glanced at Fang Hao lightly, and then looked at the steaming purple sand teapot beside Daohua’s hand, and his lips could not help but curl up. Zhou Jingwan
pulled Daohua, leaned close to her and asked in a low voice: “Why don’t you give tea to others?
”
If other people drink it, can it be given to the little prince? “Your problem of discriminatory treatment is still the same as before.”
Daohua didn’t admit that she treated her differently. Wuyi rock tea is rare and her favorite. The can of Dahongpao in her hand, but Xiao Yeyang saved it from her own mouth. It was given to her, if Zhou Jingwan hadn’t come over today, she wouldn’t have taken it out, so how could she give it to outsiders?
Seeing her third brother looking at them from time to time, Daohua rolled her eyes and asked Zhou Jingwan with a smile: “Let me ask you, there is only one cup of tea left in your teapot, and my eldest brother and third brother both want to drink it. Who do you give it to?” ”
Zhou Jingwan didn’t even think about it: “Of course it’s the third brother, who will make the relationship between the third brother and me better. ” Daohua
asked again: “Then what if your brother and my third brother both want to drink?”
Zhou Jingwan blurted out and wanted to talk about the third brother, but felt that she was turning her elbows out, so she swallowed the words again, pondered for a while, and just wanted to say that she would make another pot for both of them to drink, but she didn’t say anything yet. As soon as she exited, she felt that something was wrong, and immediately stared at Daohua who was smiling like a fox: “Well, Yan Yiyi, tell me what to say.”
After speaking, before Daohua could respond, Zhou Jingwan herself began to feel ashamed , thinking of the glazed lamp hanging by the bed, his cheeks were stained with a layer of crimson.
