Chapter 224 Making Tea
But as long as the Shen family doesn't say anything, this matter will just be a rumor.
Now, look what happened, even though no one else said it, Xu, the mother, said it first.
Even though it is said at home, there is no guarantee that one day this person will get used to saying it and say things that he shouldn't say when he is outside.
Besides, Old Master Liu was also present! What if he had good hearing and could have heard it from such a distance?
Isn't this a joke?
Liu also whispered, "Second sister-in-law, she is your daughter after all, you should not do something that will make your daughter feel disappointed. Besides, as elders, we cannot force children to do things, just let it go."
Shen Qingzhu had been pursuing him for so many years, but he never even looked back. How could he block his own daughter's future for this matter?
If she were to say, this Xu was really crazy.
A daughter of one family is sought after by hundreds of families. Qingyun is only favored by two young men now, and Xu Shi has become like this. What if there are other young men who also favor Qingyun in the future? Wouldn't Xu Shi twist Qingyun's hair and send her to the temple to become a nun?
She had to pick a time to remind her mother. It was fine if Xu had ruined her own sons, but she couldn't let the Shen family be ruined by her!
The atmosphere here was tense, and the three people in Yunli were no less tense over there.
The main path in the garden is not very wide, at least not enough to accommodate four or five people walking together.
Although there were only three people traveling together at this time, Liu Junming and Xiao Feiyu stood on both sides of Yunli respectively. They also had to pay attention to the separation between men and women and leave some space. Therefore, Liu Junming and Xiao Feiyu walked awkwardly with one foot in the grass and the other on the road.
Every time Pian Yunli took a few quick steps to make way for the two of them, the two of them would catch up with her the next second and insist on walking side by side with her.
Is it the damn desire to win between men?
Yunli shook his head and stopped caring about the details. Instead, he asked, "What kind of chrysanthemum do the two gentlemen like?"
As soon as these words came out, Xiao Feiyu and Liu Junming looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Haven't you learned about chrysanthemum?
Liu Junming has always been wild, wielding swords and swords, as well as writing poems and songs about people's livelihood, he has learned everything. But if you ask him how to farm and grow flowers, he knows nothing about it.
Since you don't know much about flowers and plants, how can you possibly know that there are different types of chrysanthemums?
As soon as Yunli saw Liu Junming's expression, he knew what he was thinking, so he just smiled and looked at Xiao Feiyu with an inquiring look.
Since Lord Xiao was studying abroad and had seen wild flowers all over the mountains, didn't he get curious and ask what those wild flowers were? Or was it that there wasn't even a single wild chrysanthemum on the whole mountain of wild flowers?
"It's my fault. I only admire flowers and plants but never study them. I've spoiled Sister Qingyun's fun. I prefer yellow and red chrysanthemums. I just heard Grandmother Shen talk about the black chrysanthemums and green chrysanthemums in the mansion. I guess the mansion has collected chrysanthemums of various colors? I can feast my eyes on them today."
Xiao Feiyu smiled vaguely and looked at Liu Junming again, "What kind of chrysanthemum does Brother Liu like?"
Let's be embarrassed together.
Looking at Liu Junming's foolish expression, it seemed that he knew nothing about flowers.
"I like green water and clear waves." Liu Junming grinned, revealing eight teeth.
He also had to thank Xiao Feiyu for emphasizing this time, otherwise he really couldn't think of what kind of chrysanthemum he liked.
Xiao Feiyu's smile froze on his face for two seconds, then moved to Yunli's face, "The Chrysanthemum Garden is ahead. Do you two gentlemen want any tea? I'll ask Yaoxiang to prepare it."
"Thank you, Sister Qingyun. I'll just drink the same as you."
Xiao Feiyu answered first.
"Then I'll do the same."
Liu Junming looked at Xiao Feiyu and sincerely felt that this guy was very useful.
Not only could he travel with her, so that others wouldn't speculate on his thoughts about Miss Shen Er, but he could also copy her answers. It was like killing two birds with one stone.
Xiao Feiyu didn't think so.
When he was in the academy, he had no interaction with Liu Junming, but Shen Qingzhu was infatuated with Liu Junming. He did try some tricks to snatch Shen Qingzhu away, but ended up causing Shen Qingzhu to want to kill him.
Xiao Feiyu knew that this matter had nothing to do with Liu Junming, but he still felt angry about it.
Unexpectedly, this guy is still haunting us! He has already changed his target and is planning to attack Shen Qingyun, but Liu Junming comes to mess things up again!
Fortunately, Shen Qingyun doesn't seem to have any feelings for Liu Junming at the moment, otherwise he would have wanted to kill Liu Junming.
The three of them sat down in the pavilion of the Chrysanthemum Garden, each with their own ulterior motives.
Yuanxiang had been waiting here for a long time. She stepped forward and said, "The old lady heard that the young lady wanted to taste tea here, so she sent a servant to bring you your favorite tea set. The old lady said that the young lady's tea art is also well-known in the capital. Let you show off your skills in front of the two gentlemen!"
As she spoke, Yuanxiang placed the tea sets on the table one by one with a smile, bowed, and stepped back.
"Sister Qingyun actually knows how to make tea? I've never heard her mention it before!"
Xiao Feiyu was really surprised.
Brewing tea is a skill that is popular in Beijing. Every noble son or daughter knows how to make it to some extent, but how good the tea art is is a matter of personal preference.
After Shen Qingyun returned to the capital, he had to learn all kinds of rules, and tea art was no exception.
Maybe it made Old Madam Shen proud to say "famous". It seems that Shen Qingyun's tea art should not only be famous, but should be one of the best in the whole capital, right?
It’s true that people can’t be judged by their appearance!
Speaking of this, Xiao Feiyu became even more interested, "Why don't you show it to me, Sister Qingyun, so that Brother Liu and I can see it too!"
Yunli smiled and did not refuse. He just tried to save his dignity by saying, "I just make tea more often and practice makes perfect. Grandmother is my elder and naturally thinks I am good in every way. In fact, my tea making skills are just average. You two brothers can take a look, but please don't laugh at me."
As she spoke, she rinsed the clay pot for boiling water and then put it on the stove to heat it up.
When the water in the pottery jar was almost evaporated, Yunli carefully scooped a spoonful of water, slowly poured it in, and covered it. When the water was slightly boiling, he took the pottery jar off and scooped the hot water into the teapot. After waiting for a while, he estimated that the water temperature was about right, and then poured the water in the teapot into the large cup with tender green tea leaves.
After skimming off the foam, the first cup of tea is not drunk. After Yunli pours out all the tea, he pours in the second cup of tea. After shaking it evenly, it is poured into three small cups. The whole process is as smooth as flowing water and is done in one go.
