Fresh crucian carp, shredded pork belly, parsley and green soup.
A daily banquet in the Hou Mansion is so extravagant, with extremely fine workmanship, delicacies on jade plates, delicious color and taste, and the food is like phoenix marrow and dragon liver, which is endless aftertaste. Just such a meal, I don’t know how much silver it costs, but
It's definitely not a small amount.
After the meal, a little maid brought a cup of fragrant tea on a small tea tray and handed it to Zhu Pingan.
Zhu Ping'an noticed that the old lady in the Hou Mansion had not yet served fragrant tea on the table, but the little maid served herself a cup of fragrant tea first. From the corner of his eye, he noticed several young ladies in the Hou Mansion, including Fatty Zhou, and used probing and
He looked at himself as if he were a joke, as if he was waiting for a joke to come from a country bumpkin like him.
From the look in their eyes, Zhu Ping'an knew that this cup of tea was intentional after just thinking about it.
After being reborn in the Ming Dynasty, although I have never rinsed my mouth with tea after meals, I have seen the Dream of Red Mansions and I am familiar with the habit of rinsing my mouth with tea after meals in wealthy families.
Therefore, he could only disappoint everyone. Zhu Pingan took the tea cup and slightly curled his lips.
Look, that country bumpkin has taken the teacup. Hehe, he didn’t really drink it as tea, hehe.
The sixth lady of the Hou Mansion stared at Zhu Pingan with her big eyes without blinking, and many little stars flashed excitedly in her eyes.
Zhu Ping'an took the tea cup and lifted it up as expected. In the porcelain bowl as white as jade, pieces of tender tea were like tongues, dark green in color, and there were bursts of fragrance in the green liquid. What a good tea, just use
It's such a luxury to come and rinse your mouth.
In the sight of everyone, Zhu Pingan picked up the tea cup and took a big sip. It was such a big sip.
He actually took such a big sip
It's like a cow chewing a peony, it's really useless
Except for the master and servant Li Shu, everyone in the living room had a smile on their lips, waiting to see Zhu Pingan's joke. Especially the sixth lady of the Hou Mansion had turned her attention from Zhu Pingan to Li Shu. Waiting
When Zhu Ping'an makes a fool of himself, look at Li Shu's expression.
However, to the disappointment of the sixth lady of the Hou Mansion, Li Shu did not show any nervous expression at all. In Li Shu's mind, even if Zhu Ping'an didn't know that it was mouthwash tea, so what, the Hou Mansion was just a group of people guarding what their ancestors had left behind.
A toad in a well with a little glory, and a leaf that blocks his eyes from seeing Mount Tai! They are all a group of self-righteous toads who are self-righteous.
But the next scene disappointed the sixth lady of Hou Mansion and others again.
After Zhu Pingan took a big sip of tea, he looked at the little maid who brought the tea. Under Zhu Pingan's gaze, the little maid slowly took out the basin, and then Zhu Pingan rinsed it with the tea.
He rinsed his mouth and handed the teacup back to the little maid.
This bad guy always likes to tease people like this. Li Shu smiled slightly at the corner of her mouth, and then rinsed her mouth with tea.
After rinsing his mouth, the little maid brought another cup of tea, and this was the tea he drank.
Li Shu picked up the tea cup, held the tea lid with her slender hands and tapped the rim of the cup a few times. She blew the tea cup slightly with her lips, then put the tea cup to her lips, sniffed it slightly, but then put it down.
"Fifth sister, why don't you drink it, but you can't get used to it? Why don't you have someone make a bowl of sugar water for your sister?"
The sixth lady of the Hou Mansion blinked her big watery eyes and asked like a curious baby. Her expression was full of concern between sisters, but her words were just words. It was easy to think of Li Shu coming from the countryside, with a slight feeling of contempt.
.
"Yeah. I'm not used to drinking."
Hearing this, Li Shu looked at Sixth Sister with her big watery eyes, half-smiling, and a faint playful smile on her lips.
Before the sixth lady of the Hou Mansion could smile, Li Shu continued:
"The tea is slightly curved, like a bird's tongue, the leaves are golden, the color is light green, the tea color is bright, and the aroma is noble. Is this the authentic Huangshan Maofeng?"
The sixth lady of the Hou family was a little surprised, "The fifth lady has good eyesight."
"Just look at the shrinkage of the tea buds in the cup, and there is a touch of withered yellow in the green color. The aroma is low. Is this Huangshan Maofeng an old tea?" Li Shu held an embroidered handkerchief in her slender hand and gently wiped her lips, dark.
Ru Mo's eyes deliberately overflowed with a hint of obvious disgust.
The sixth lady of the Hou Mansion opened her mouth slightly, and was very surprised. She didn't expect that Li Shu could actually tell that this was Huangshan Maofeng, and she didn't expect that Li Shu could also tell that it was Chen Cha.
"Drinking tea must be new, and drinking wine must be old. I tried drinking new tea at home, but I couldn't get used to drinking this old tea. In previous years, the tea in my house was still new, but now I am drinking old tea."
Li Shu put down the embroidered handkerchief and stared at Sixth Sister with a pair of clear eyes. Her beautiful eyes were flowing. She smiled slightly and spoke lightly. After speaking, she turned to the little maid Baozi who was standing behind her and casually ordered, "Hua'er, tell me, go ahead.
Fei Ge, the messenger, will send two carts of this year's new tea, oh, remember to ask for Longjing before the rain. When the new tea is harvested after this spring, I will send two more carts."
"Okay miss."
When the little maid Baozi heard this, she puffed up her breasts and responded with a strong voice. She turned around and walked out, looking very proud and raising her feet high.
Everyone in the Hou Mansion
This girl's temper really hasn't changed at all. Zhu Pingan glanced at Li Shu, who was covering her small mouth and showing a ladylike temperament, and curled her lips silently.
The dinner party at the Hou Mansion ended like this, and everyone left. Except for the old lady of the Hou Mansion who said "please take a seat" at the beginning, she never said anything to Zhu Pingan again, and did not take Zhu Pingan seriously at all.
It means to be the son-in-law of the Marquis.
Of course, Zhu Ping'an didn't take this to heart at all.
After the dinner, Zhu Pingan walked back to the guest room along the same path. There were maids and boys passing by from time to time along the way. However, these maids and boys looked at Zhu Pingan in a strange way, as if they were ridiculing.
These maids and servants knew the master of the Hou Mansion very well. When they saw the obviously unfamiliar face of Zhu Pingan, they knew that Zhu Pingan was the new fifth uncle in the Hou Mansion today. To them, the most powerful person in the Hou Mansion was of course the Hou.
The old lady of the mansion, and then the eldest master who succeeded the Marquis of Linhuai, but the richest man in the Marquis Mansion is still the third master. Every year, a lot of the running expenses of the Marquis Mansion are filled by the third master. Every year, the Marquis Mansion sends
The steward who went to the third master's house had to use horse-drawn carriages and horse-drawn carriages to bring money to the mansion.
However, what they couldn't figure out was that the third master's most beloved fifth lady, the apple of his eye, was promised to a poor scholar from the countryside. This news was widely known in the Hou Mansion at that time, which made many servants feel unhappy.
, the poor scholars in the countryside were not as good as them. Out of envy and jealousy, many stories about this fifth uncle circulated in the Hou family.
What about marrying into a wife, inserting a door into the door, etc. Anyway, every version is not a good thing.
So, now that they saw the fifth uncle in person, they couldn't help but think of those stories about the fifth uncle. They didn't dare to say anything on their faces, but they despised him in their hearts. (To be continued...
