When walking towards him, Jiang Shang was still the center of attention of all the women. Mei Miao felt very proud in her heart. Such a man, who liked herself, satisfied women's vanity very much.
Jiang Shang watched her coming with a smile on his face, "Are you still used to this kind of banquet?"
Manmiao had attended many banquets on behalf of the women's families in Washington before. Lady diplomacy in Beijing was so popular that she was part of it and couldn't help but participate.
He smiled lightly and said, "It's okay. I think it's quite interesting. I want to take a look before talking about it."
The implication is that I am still looking for where the Buddhist temple is. If you know it, please tell me the address as soon as possible to save me from wandering around.
Jiang Shang understands what she means. There are so many people around here. It is impossible for Manmei to rush into the Buddhist hall as soon as she arrives. Even if the Wu family is ready to give an explanation to the Jiang family, it is impossible to tear them apart like this.
Just to settle accounts out of shame.
"You always like to be quiet. Thank you for attending this kind of banquet. I have been here a few times. It is quite lively here. You can walk around first. If you are tired, the west side is quieter and there won't be too many people to disturb you.
You." Jiang Shang also spoke very tactfully.
Manmei understood what he meant and would not rush over to find someone right away. She patiently exchanged a few words with Jiang Shang. Others saw that Jiang Shang had brought a woman over. They saw that she was not young, but she was still dressed as an unmarried woman.
With strange expressions on their faces, many of the female family members began to whisper to each other. They didn't point at Man Miao due to their status, but their eyes were all directed towards her.
Shan Boyuan also came over to say a few words. He came with Qin Qifeng. He looked at Manmiao and Jiang Shang and smiled and said, "His Highness Qin said that Miss Man is very good at making tea. I wonder if Shan has such an honor?"
Manmei wanted to say "Of course not" to him, but since this was a public place, she had to consider the impact.
Glancing at Jiang Shang, seeing him nodding slightly, he smiled appropriately and said, "Your Highness Shan is serious, so I will show my shame."
A few of them talked and formed a small circle of their own. In upper class society, circles are different from each other. It is extremely difficult to enter a circle without someone to recommend it. Moreover, most people with status will maintain their own status.
I won't do anything that makes people look down upon.
A few of them were sitting in a small pavilion, and the people around them were too understanding to disturb them.
Manmiao performed the tea making again as usual. Her technique was specially practiced. This time it was Biluochun that Shan Boyuan asked for.
I glanced at him and thought to myself, why do you want to drink green tea for such a weak person? You are responsible for drinking until you drink it. I can't control that much. It's yours to drink anyway.
"Everywhere in the Dongting is green, and the fragrance of green snails is intoxicating for thousands of miles." This is a poem that already exists in this world. When she reads it at this moment, it will not make people feel out of place.
Although she doubted whether there was a lake in the world called Dongting Lake, after all, it was a poem in a collection of poems, so there was nothing suspicious about her using it. Who among the ladies these days would not add a few lines to fill the scene?
?
For a good cup of tea, the brewing method is very important. The leaves of Biluochun are relatively tender, so the brewing method of Biluochun adopts the upward pouring method (that is, first flush the water to seventy percent full, and then pour the tea). Because there are too many millimeters, there will be "turbidity" after brewing the tea.
', Other green tea soup colors should be clear and translucent.
The maid had already put all the tea sets, and the small tea stove for boiling water was ready. The water boiled after a while. Manmei first scooped the boiling water into the cup, then slowly turned the cup to make the upper and lower temperatures of the cup the same, and then washed the cup.
When the water reaches the water bowl, pour the boiling water into the cup again. It is estimated that the water temperature has dropped to between 70-80 degrees. Use a teaspoon to gently pour the dry tea into the cup and quietly wait for the tea leaves to float slowly from the top of the water.
Go down and stretch in the water, commonly known as the 'tea dance'.
When the tea leaves fell to the bottom and some of them stretched out, Manmei pushed the tea cups in front of the people present one by one, stretched out her hand to make a gesture of invitation, "Please use."
The three of them all picked up the cup and took a sip. Qin Qifeng nodded and praised her a few times. Everyone on the left and right praised her talents to the sky. Mei Miao herself blushed when she heard this. Jiang Shang just nodded and smiled, and Shan Boyuan drank a cup.
, holding the cup and spinning it in his hand, "Miss Man is indeed very clever."
After drinking tea, the crowd around them were whispering to each other. They were probably very curious about Manmei's identity. According to the usual practice, Xiao Wu and Liu, as the host, had to get close to Manmei Tao to find out her origins.
Jiang Shang found an excuse to lure Qin Qifeng and Shan Boyuan away, and Man Miao walked alone with the maid to the rest area of the female family members.
Men and women generally do not intrude into each other's resting areas. It is very rude for male guests to barge into the women's resting areas from the public area. Unless there is something particularly urgent, it will be considered rude.
In the upper class, once you are labeled like this, you can basically say that you will be stained for the rest of your life.
Of course, Manmiao feels that this matter also depends on the person. For Jiang Shang, being labeled with this label is extremely uncomfortable. But Manmiao believes that if it is Lan Ting, if you stick to his face and body, he will pretend that he has done nothing and still smile playfully.
. If it were Hua Feng, she wouldn't believe anyone would dare to put it on his body.
Not long after leaving, Mrs. Wu and Liu came over, bowed to Man Miao Ying Ying, and said with a smile, "Miss Man, please forgive me for the poor hospitality."
When they entered the house before, the greeting guests also sang a beautiful name. Xiao Wu and Liu may not remember it, but they smiled and said a few words. Now when they say this, they are taking the initiative to start a conversation.
She smiled gracefully and returned the gift, "Anyway, there are many distinguished guests today, so I shouldn't disturb the young lady anymore."
This young lady's name was very suitable to Xiao Wu Liu's taste, and she immediately became much more pleased with Man Miao and Yan, "I wonder who Miss Man and Mr. Jiang are?"
Man Miao glanced at Jiang Shang and said with a smile, "We are just friends. I heard that Laizhou is lively this year, so I came over to have a look."
Jiang Shang is a famous golden bachelor in the country of Yue. When he came to Laizhou, everyone who has a daughter in Laizhou is probably thinking about it. It would be strange if Xiao Wu and Liu hadn't heard that Jiang Shang brought a woman, but on her face
But she showed a clear look, "Miss Man, isn't she from Yue?"
Strictly speaking, the Yue Kingdom can only be regarded as one region, and the nature of the alliance is very loose. The family that leads this region may turn to other countries to seek refuge in any minute. The reason why it has not become like this is that those who have the strength want to unify the Yue Kingdom by themselves.
, those who don’t have this ability just want to wait for the right opportunity to sell at a high price.
From the corner of her eyes, Mei Miao saw Qin Qifeng and Jiang Shang separated, but she was talking to Shan Boyuan very enthusiastically, and said casually, "I am from the Qin State."
Mrs. Wu nodded understandingly and agreed, "I've heard people say that Qin is a great place with outstanding people."
