Things developed according to her plan. Yang Mo really wanted to force her to participate, but Lin Jinrong was stunned. Was she such a useless and sullen person in the eyes of others before? While thinking about it, Yang Mo was already thinking
He pulled her up and laughed loudly: "There are us too. Let's join in the fun! I wonder if Auntie Lu has prepared extra tea sets?"
Yang Mo would stand up to fight, which was expected by Lin Yuzhen, but Lin Jinrong was really surprised. Lin Yuzhen looked at her niece with some surprise, but when she saw that she was being pulled tightly by Yang Mo, and her expression was a little startled, she knew it was
She was tied up by Yang Mo and forced to come here. She thought to herself that although this niece was said to be good at playing the xun and loved to share tea, her talent was not obvious. She thought she would be locked up in that house for a long time and not come into contact with many people.
, not very knowledgeable, and not very brilliant.
At that moment, he didn't take it seriously and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, how could it not be? Let's arrange it quickly! It's fun when there are many people. Is there anyone else who wants to participate?" Seeing no one answered, he said to Yang:
"Your Momo has such a cheerful temperament! I like her just looking at her."
Yang looked at her niece with a smile and said calmly: "She doesn't know the importance of it at all. Today, let Ayun teach her a lesson so that she can recognize that there are mountains outside the mountains and that there are people outside the mountains. She accepts this arrogance."
Heart."
Lin Yuzhen was full of confidence in Lu Yun, but said: "There are mountains outside the mountains, and there are people outside the people. It is obviously just a play between children and cannot be taken seriously."
While they were talking, someone had already invited the female singer who was singing lyrics on the stage, and soon they brought the brocade mat, the gallwood tea bed, the baked bamboo tea, the silver tea cage, the gold anvil vertebrae, the Jianzhou rabbit hair cup, and the golden tea.
Inscriptions, silver tea grinders, Shudongchuan Exi painted silk tea cups, gold teaspoons, gold soup bottles, etc. are placed in the middle of the hall like a flow.
Lu Yun cleaned his hands in a small white porcelain basin held by the maid, burned incense in the celadon incense burner, with a just right smile on his lips, he leaned over to greet Lu Yang'er, Yang Mo and Lin Jinrong: "Sisters
please."
Lin Jinrong stood up, but the corner of her clothes was gently pulled by someone. She lowered her head and saw Lin Liu looking at her with a smile, and whispered: "Fourth sister, I just made a bet with Seventh sister about which of you would win. You won't let me."
Do I lose?"
Lin Qi threw a melon seed kernel into her mouth and said, "Fourth sister, please pay attention to her, she bet you to lose! You have to win, she will be so angry."
Lin Jinrong's eyes slowly swept over the twins' similar faces. Lin Qi was still domineering and arrogant as before, while Lin Liu's usual sweetness was scheming and provocative, but the purpose was the same, to make her win and ruin the scene. The specific reason.
It's not a test, but Lin Liu never suffers. He didn't answer immediately, smiled lightly, took the corner of his clothes from Lin Liu's hand, and walked forward.
Everyone sat down, and Lin Jinrong looked over at the tea sets, water, and tea one by one. However, he saw that all the tea sets in front of him were top-quality special vessels. The water was from Huishan Spring, the tea was from tribute dragon and phoenix dumplings, and the girls all had the same items.
They did not make any lies in it, which shows how confident Lin Yuzhen and her daughter are.
Lu Yun was not her opponent many years ago, and he is even less so now. Lin Jinrong glanced at Lu Yun, who was in love with his face, and secretly said sorry. He raised his hand slightly, and Li Zhi, who was accustomed to serving others, stepped forward to help. Lin Jinrong
The mind has settled, the expression is concentrated, the hands are steady, and the only thing in mind is tea. Zhicha, grinding tea, Luocha, preparing soup, and brewing tea, everything is ready, holding a chopstick in one hand, and pouring soup in the other.
Pour a ring of soup into the side of the cup, stir the tea paste, measure the tea and receive the soup, stir it with the soup, use your hands lightly and heavily, wrap your fingers around your wrists, tilt it slightly, foam will rise everywhere, like sparse stars and bright moon, it will appear brilliantly. The second soup will come from the tea.
Pour water into the noodles, return a line all the way around, stop the quick injection, whisk hard, the color of the tea surface gradually opens, and the bubbles are like pearls and jade; pour water into the third soup like the second soup, whisk gently and evenly around, the outside and inside are thorough, and the foam is like a millet crab.
Eyes appear everywhere, and the tea color is already revealed; the fourth soup has less water, so the whisk is slightly slower, the range gradually widens, the tea surface is colorful, and the foam gradually grows like a light cloud; the fifth soup has a little more water, the whisk is light and transparent
, whisk and collect it, the tea foam is like mist and condensed snow, and the fragrance of tea is scattered; the six soups are slowly stirred, and the milk spots are vigorous; the seven soups are light and clear, heavy and turbid, medium thin and thick, the milk mist surges, overflows the cup, and returns.
Condensed and unmoving.
Lin Jinrong concentrated all his attention and finished the work in one breath. He finished with his hand slightly raised. A plum blossom bloomed in the soup, and the milk was steaming, which seemed real and illusory. The whole place was silent, and there was a low sigh in an instant. Lu Yang'er had already stopped moving.
, looking at Lin Jinrong with all his attention, Yang Mo laughed, abandoned the tea spoon, and said: "I give up." Lu Yun was left with a blushing face, still stubbornly staring at the cup of tea in front of him, hoping that it would be served.
Don't let the soup flowers disperse early. Hold on for a while.
Because Lin Yuzhen had already said that whoever showed water marks first would lose, and it did not include who could conjure up flowers, grass, mountains and other objects, so it was difficult for everyone to make a first judgment on who would lose and who would win.
After a while, the plum blossom in Lin Jinrong's tea cup gradually disappeared, leaving only the white flowers. After a while, someone whispered: "Water marks are showing!" Then Lu Yun made a ringing sound.
With a soft sound, Lu Yun raised his head, with slightly red eyes, squeezed out a somewhat sad smile, and said in a trembling voice: "I lost, the fourth cousin didn't show her face in person, what a great skill!"
Lin Jinrong sighed softly. Although she was a bit cheating, in her previous life, although she could not gather plum blossoms at this age, she could persist longer than Lu Yun. Therefore, there was no shame on her face, only a little uneasiness, and she spoke quietly and clearly.
: "Sister Yun accepts the offer! I am also lucky."
Lu Yun forced a smile, lowered his eyes and whispered: "My skills are not as good as others, sister, there is no need to be humble." She was still young and was beaten up, so it was not easy to have such courage, so everyone was a little angry with her.
I feel pity and admiration for her. It's just that winning or losing has its own reasons. She is indeed not as good as Lin Jinrong. At Lin Jinrong's age, to be able to do this can be said to be a genius, and she won very well.
Everyone looked at Lin Yuzhen.
Lin Yuzhen's eyes were fixed on Lin Jinrong, and she suddenly smiled like a steel knife and said slowly: "What a good girl!" Although she tried her best to cover it up, everyone could hear the stiffness in her tone.
.
The twins blinked excitedly, while Lin Wu and Wen Shi looked back at Lin Jinrong reproachfully, complaining about why she wanted to steal Lu Yun's limelight.
Lin Jinrong lowered her eyes, with a look of uneasiness and guilt on her face. But she was secretly happy in her heart. She had ruined Lin Yuzhen's affairs, and Lin Yuzhen really hated her this time. I think the Lu family would treat guests again in the future, no matter if she came or not.
No one will ever force her again. That's great.
Suddenly, Mrs. Song from Zhizhou burst into laughter and said loudly: "They are all good girls! Miss Lin Si is more skilled, so she won't be arrogant; Miss Lu San is generous, and given time, she will achieve great success."
Miss Yang is bold and neat, they are all good girls!"
Her words broke away the embarrassment in the table, and Yang also laughed and scolded Yang Mo: "This girl is ignorant and not good at skills. She likes to join in the fun and disturbs everyone's peace. It's all for you to see her jokes! And you still praise her,
In my opinion, she should be scolded." This sentence contained a hint of guilt, and was told to Lin Yuzhen because Yang Mo forced Lin Jinrong to participate in a tea fight just now and ruined the plans of Lin Yuzhen and her daughter.
Lin Yuzhen had already calmed down, looked directly at Lin Jinrong, made an air of indifference, and said with a loving smile: "My good niece, come here! Wait until my aunt gives you this prize with her own hands."
Lin Jinrong didn't just accept the gold and jade things just for the sake of it. He immediately stepped forward and gave a gift and said with a smile: "Although I won today, it was just a fluke. I am embarrassed to take things from your elders."
What an arrogant person who doesn't know how to advance or retreat! Just like her mother, she couldn't bear the slightest loss and refused to let others go. I really didn't notice it in the past. There was a trace of sarcasm on the corner of Lin Yuzhen's lips, but her tone was very friendly:
"You kid, no matter what, if you win, you win. There is no reason to take back the things you took out. My aunt is happy that you have made a difference. Don't be ignorant. Come and get it quickly. Don't waste time like this.
, not generous at all.”
If she had won someone else, Lin Jinrong believed that Lin Yuzhen would be very happy, but the person she won was Lin Yuzhen's darling and lifeblood. Lin Yuzhen was narrow-minded, and no matter how kindly she smiled at this time, she hated her. Since she said she wouldn't win,
If the things are not generous or petty, then she will not be grateful. These things are worth tens of thousands of dollars at least.
Lin Jinrong stepped forward with a smile. Lin Yuzhen, with a bit of unwillingness and resentment, reluctantly took the hairpin and handed it to Lin Jinrong's hand with heartache.
At this moment, Lin Jinrong wanted very much to make Lin Yuzhen's hand "slip", so she dropped the precious water hairpin and smashed it to pieces, just like Lin Yuzhen's previous life "slid" and dropped the tea cup she was offered.
Then he scolded her for being unable to do even the smallest things. But thinking that it was too obvious, it would make enemies of Tao, and it would also make the female family members here laugh at her, and it would also have an impact on her future, so she had to endure it and bow.
Thanks to Lin Yuzhen.
Lin Yuzhen took the lead, and the Yang family, Song family, and others fulfilled their promises and each handed their own lottery winnings to Lin Jinrong. Lin Jinrong bowed and thanked them one by one, handed them to Li Zhi, and returned to his original seat facing all kinds of eyes.
.
In order to make up for Yang Mo's unintentional mistake, Yang also said that she heard that Lu Yun studied under a famous artist and was a good painter and calligrapher. Why not let everyone take a look? Lin Yuzhen pretended to decline several times before calling people.
Paper and pen were laid out for Lu Yun to draw and write.

Ouch, this chapter was very hard to write, and I spent a long time looking up information. This method of tea fighting was popular in the Song Dynasty, a bit like matcha today. Most of the techniques have been lost. I heard that there are still people in Fujian who can write on soup noodles.
Calligraphy is really a profound skill. I am not good at it, so I just show it to everyone to make everyone laugh. If there are children who are proficient in this skill, please criticize, correct and be tolerant. Thank you. (To be continued)
