071 Tasting tea

"It's my fate. I can't help it. These words come from a woman's mouth. It's really surprising. Mr. Jiang is so lucky. He embarrasses others." Qin Qifeng came in from the door without knowing when, high-fiving him.

Sighing while looking at the beauty.

Once is a chance encounter, twice is normal, and three times is definitely intentional.

Manmiao and Jiang Shang looked at each other, and both saw a trace of confusion and vigilance in each other's eyes.

Qin Qifeng pretended not to notice their little actions, and said with a smile, "I am really destined to meet you two today, why don't we sit and drink tea together. I see there are many teahouses by the river, where you can watch the night view of the river, which has a unique charm.

"

Jiang Shang glanced at Manmiao and asked her opinion. Manmiao nodded to Jiang Shang. People here go to bed as soon as it gets dark at 7 or 8 o'clock. She used to not sleep until 12 o'clock. To her, this

It doesn't count as staying up late at all.

Besides, she also wanted to know what medicine Qin Qifeng sold in his gourd.

Qin Qifeng came here this time just to talk to the Jiang family. If he wanted to find Jiang Shang, he didn't have to deliberately block him here. These few encounters, it is very likely that he came here for Manmiao.

Manmei is self-aware. If it comes to looks, she is above average, but if it comes to making people fall in love at first sight, let's avoid it. Qin Qifeng is the prince of the Qin Kingdom, what kind of woman doesn't have it? There are many women who are willing to climb up to him.

Are you going to steal a woman from Jiang Shang's bed?

Jiang Shang cupped his hands in front of Qin Qifeng, "Then it's better to obey orders than to be respectful. Sir Qin, please."

With that said, he led them to a teahouse called Juxian Pavilion by the river.

Most of the guests in this teahouse were literati, who gathered to drink tea and discuss matters. The hall was separated by various exquisite screens, and there were also private rooms. The shopkeeper came and took Jiang Shang to a private room near the river.

A beautiful maid had already been sitting by the tea tray, preparing to boil water and make tea for them.

Qin Qifeng looked at Man Miao, "I wonder if Miss Man can make tea?"

Manmei nodded, "I understand a little bit."

"Then can you show off your skills so that I can appreciate them?"

Are you here to f**king cause trouble?

Thinking about it this way, ideas came to mind. Qin Qifeng seemed to have a daughter who was almost old enough to leave the court. She probably wanted to marry into the Jiang family and felt that he was an eyesore, so he made every possible effort to make things difficult for her.

He glanced at Jiang Shang angrily and gave him a look that said he was hurt by you. Jiang Shang was a very smart person and was very interested in Manmei. He knew what she meant at a glance and shook his head in confusion.

It was not what she thought. He whispered quickly in her ear, "His children are still young."

That’s weird, what does it mean?

After thinking about it, since the big shot has spoken, I still have to do it.

The maid had already wisely made way for her, and she stepped forward gracefully. She said, "I'm showing off my shame." and started various operations.

As the daughter-in-law of a wealthy family, she has worked hard to practice the art of making tea.

After all, music, chess, calligraphy and painting require time to accumulate. Only the skill of making tea can be learned quickly.

The author of this book is trying to save trouble. Many common sense things are directly applied to the real society. Many things and customs in this fictional era are the same as those in ancient China, including various teas, tea sets and concepts. It’s good

If the author wasn't crazy enough to set the story in the Ming and Qing dynasties, an era that was extremely oppressive to women, I think so. In that era, it was almost impossible to write any kind of love story, and it was almost in the scope of a house fight.

He sat down and looked at it, then raised his head and asked, "I wonder what kind of tea Mr. Qin likes?"

"I don't particularly like it. I wonder what Mr. Jiang likes?" Qin Qifeng looked at Jiang Shang, who smiled gently and said, "This year's Longjing is pretty good."

The maid brought out the tea set filled with Longjing tea, and Manmei took it and opened it. It was delicious in color, aroma, and taste. It seemed to be the best Longjing tea.

The maid then brought over a jar of water and said, "This is mountain spring water on Xiangshan Mountain. It was just taken out of the spring today."

Manmiao scooped some out with a bamboo spoon, poured it into the purple clay pot on the stove, and waited for the water to boil. When bubbles the size of crab eyes appeared in the water, she poured some boiling water into two thin porcelain teacups with elegant patterns and took them out.

Put an appropriate amount of tea leaves into the cup and watch the tea leaves sink and float in the water, showing off their graceful figure. When the soup turns green, add more boiling water.

The wall of the ceramic cup is so thin that it looks like a layer of paper. The green tea soup can be seen through the wall of the cup.

After everything was done, he pushed the tea cup in front of Qin Qifeng and Jiang Shang who were sitting opposite, stretched out his palms and said, "Please."

I vaguely remember that in modern times, Longjing tea was brewed in a glass cup, so that you can see the tea leaves fluttering through the cup. He said with a slight sigh, "It would be great if there was a crystal cup. I use a crystal cup for Longjing tea, so I can see the tea leaves in the water."

Flying figure."

Everyone here is a wealthy person, and after thinking about it for a while, he understood, "This is a very good proposal. Qin happened to have a crystal cup, so he gave it to Miss Man as a thank you gift this time."

Graceful smiled and thanked her, her heart pounding. What is going on? Why are you staring at her so much? Jiang Shang also frowned and glanced at Qin Qifeng.

Qin Qifeng still pretended not to notice and started discussing tea with the two of them seriously.

The ancients did not recommend drinking tea at night. If you drink a lot of tea, do you still want to sleep at night?

However, neither Qin Qifeng nor His Highness Qin wanted to offend him, so they could only drink tea with him.

Qin Qifeng's words were often probing, and his questions were sometimes very straightforward. After Manmiao changed several kinds of tea and brewed them, he asked what he was thinking, "Miss Man is young, she can't think of it."

It's really admirable to have such good skills in making tea. I wonder how old Miss Man is?"

Since he and Jiang Shang are together, he must be unmarried. Looking at his age, he seems to be about 30 years old. There are very few unmarried women at this age. Qin Qifeng's question is reasonable.

Graceful said calmly, "I am already twenty-one this year. I had a husband before, but he died of illness."

She didn't want to talk about reconciliation. After all, this matter involved Hua Feng. For her ex-husband, the male protagonist in the book, it was better for her to cause less trouble. If Qin Qifeng had nothing to do and sent someone to find Hua Feng, he would die.

Ugly.

When Jiang Shang heard her say that her ex-husband died of illness, the corners of her mouth twitched and she did not continue speaking. He thought he understood her feelings of not wanting to continue to have contact with Hua Feng.

No matter how you think about it, it is better to say that you are widowed than divorced. Even in modern times, being widowed is slightly better than being divorced. But in ancient times, it was a bit troublesome, because in ancient times there was a so-called "gram" or something, and a woman was widowed.

, it’s easy to be called Kefu, but Manmei doesn’t care about such trivial matters.
