As the days enter May, winter clothes are gradually put away in boxes, the continuous rainy days are gone, and the weather becomes sunny.
After early spring and early summer, the rice fields are green, Yangmei Village is full of vitality, and smiles can always be seen on the faces of the villagers. Why? Because fish farming in rice fields is going very smoothly.
The current Tian family is no longer the Tian family of the past. Just because of the rice fields and fish farming, it is already convincing. If there is any major event in Yangmei Village now, Tian Huairen will definitely be invited to the scene to participate in reasoning. His family
, has laid a certain status foundation in the village.
Of course, life is full of bumps and bumps. Although fish farming in rice fields is successful, there are still some people who argue about it. It's just a small problem. I asked Tian Huairen to come forward to help He Xinni solve it, and he just laughed it off.
"Now my father's face is easier to use than Li Zheng's." Tian Minyan said to everyone with a smile: "Then the Chen family has said that no one can lose face, but Mr. Tian San's face must be given to him.
.”
Tian Huairen smiled honestly and said: "It's all a compliment. How can it be so great? Just some small things, they made it big." He had just been invited to help solve the paddy field matter. It was just two people.
Families quarreled over water.
Tian Minyan pursed her lips and smiled, saying: "Small things are important, why don't you see him asking someone else to uphold justice?"
"If you praise me again, your father's smile will reach his ears." Luo Shi walked over, followed by Xiaoxing, with some snacks on the tray.
"Did you send it to Mr. Xia?" Tian Minyan asked hurriedly when she saw it.
After the spring sowing, there was a slack season, and the cotton growth was stable. Xia Guang had a lot more time to teach Tian Minrui. Because Tian Minrui would be finished in the autumn, the homework assigned was also tight.
At this time, everyone is giving advice in the study room.
"It's up to you to order me to send it all over." Luo Shi said angrily.
Tian Minyan stuck out her tongue. Xia Guang was a distinguished guest in their family and Tian Minrui's husband. He respected his teachers and he must not neglect this.
She used a fork to fork a piece of honey cake into her mouth. It was fragrant, soft and sweet. She drank it with a sip of milk tea and sat comfortably under the pomegranate tree in the yard. This was a rare leisure experience.
"Xiao Xing, go get my tea set. I want to share the tea. Then go and see if the adults and young masters are free, and tell them that I'll invite them to drink tea." Tian Minyan put down her fork, showing rare interest.
Xiaoxing sighed and hurriedly ran towards the inner house.
"Haha, did I hear someone saying that they wanted to invite you to tea?"
Tian Minyan followed the sound and saw Xia Guang and Tian Minrui appearing at the door of the yard, and stood up with a smile.
"My lord, are you talking about me?" Luo Shi bowed and said with some anxiety.
"It's okay. This is a work-rest balance. No matter how busy you are with schoolwork, you still have to take a breather, otherwise your brain will be strong and you won't be able to perform well." Xia Guang came to them and said with a smile.
After hearing this, Luo Shi breathed a sigh of relief and looked at his eldest son. Seeing that his face was calm, his smile was light, and he didn't look tired, he felt more relieved and said, "I'll go get some snacks." After saying that, he hurriedly walked.
He headed towards the backyard kitchen.
Tian Huairen gave up his body and seat, and said respectfully and gratefully: "Sir, thank you for your hard work."
"Why bother to come? I can work here as a farmer, and enjoy good food and drinks. Occasionally, your daughter can play two games of chess with you, and there is good tea. Living in seclusion is nothing more than that." Xia Guang smiled and caressed her.
He put on his beard and said: "As for your two children, they are also very talented and I can still teach them."
"Then you have to be willing to teach." Tian Minyan flattered with a smile.
She was telling the truth. No matter how smart she is, she must be willing to teach him. Take Brother Lin as an example. She brought Xia Guang's comments to the old man's ears. The old man begged Xia Guang to teach him, but he didn't agree. So,
, even if he is smart, he still has to nod his head.
"Haha, you girl, you are flattering me again." Xia Guang laughed.
While they were talking, Xiaoxing and Jixiang both took out Tian Minyan's tea utensils. Qi Shiqi had given her the same set of tea utensils she used in the teahouse when they met Qi Shiqi in Qingzhou.
Tian Minyan put them away one by one. Bai Mei was not around, so she asked Xiaoxing to help, wash her hands and burn incense, and prepare to share tea.
"Sir, how about just freezing it up?" Tian Minyan asked with a smile.
Dongding Oolong Xia Guang likes tea, and she also goes to Wenxiangju to buy it, which is considered to be her favorite to win people's hearts.
"good!"
Tian Minyan actually knew his answer. As soon as she said this, she started the process of dividing the tea.
Zhicha, Tencha, Luocha, Houtang, Jicha... The technique is skillful and flexible, which is really beautiful.
It was afternoon, the air was refreshing and cool in late spring and early summer, and there was a gentle breeze. It seemed like a long time had passed, but it also seemed like a moment. When Tian Minyan stopped her hand, her white and tender palm tilted upward slightly, and she said with a smile: "Sir, please.
"
Xia Guang came back to his senses and looked at the celadon tea bowl. The soup was dark in color and the foam was light white. There was a word "rite" in the middle. Although the word was a little scattered, it was still clearly visible.
At this time, Xia Guang was already surprised. He glanced at her, picked up the tea bowl and sniffed lightly. The unique aged agarwood aroma of oolong only hit the tip of his nose. He looked at the flowers of the soup, and then slowly dissipated, revealing the muted tea soup.
He took a sip, and the fragrance of the tea left a lasting impression on his teeth. He couldn't help but praise: "Good tea, good craftsmanship!"
However, Tian Minyan smiled and said: "Sir, you are exaggerating. The soup flowers are still a little scattered and are not stable when they are gathered together. We need to practice again."
"Haha, you girl has become more humble. Considering your young age, you are already extraordinary because you have such power and can see your shortcomings. There is no need to be too harsh on yourself." Xia Guang said, "Sometimes you are too persistent.
For a certain thing, it will hurt your body. If you only cultivate your mind and nature, you will have unexpected results."
"That's what your Excellency said." Tian Minyan stood up and gave a blessing, humbly accepting the instruction.
"How can you, girl, learn how to divide tea when you have half a day to spare?" Xia Guang took another sip of tea and asked with a smile.
"The prince taught me." Tian Minyan sat down with a smile, bought a cup of tea for Tian Huairen and Tian Minrui, and said sarcastically: "It's just that I didn't learn five points of his skills."
Xia Guang raised his eyebrows and said: "No wonder, you probably haven't learned it for a long time. It's rare to be able to call out the calligraphy flowers."
"You don't know, sir. When this girl was just learning, she would handle the tea whenever she could. At that time, our whole family would feel anxious whenever we saw her take out the tea utensils." Tian Huairen said with a smile.
"Oh? There is such a thing?"
"Sir, yes, my sister said that practice makes perfect, and this kind of tea can also cultivate your temperament, so if you have something to do, you can do it. The student also agrees. From the beginning, she couldn't even make tea foam, but now she can point out
Word by word, progress is very fast." Tian Minrui also added.
"Dad, brother, I wouldn't have led you to cause trouble like this." Tian Minyan glanced at the two of them coquettishly.
"Haha, this is so embarrassing." Xia Guang laughed.
Luo Shi came in with snacks, and when he saw several people chatting happily, a cheerful smile appeared on his lips.
"Hmm, it smells so good. Girl, is this another new food you made?" Xia Guang asked, twisting a piece of snack.
"Yes, what do you think, sir? If this works, I would like to open a dim sum shop." Tian Minyan's eyes were bright. She had long wanted to open a dim sum shop, and now she has mastered more than ten kinds of dim sum recipes.
As long as it is suitable, I would like to open one.
"It tastes great. You guys have become very naughty in the past few months since I've been here. However, I'm not good at business either. You asked the wrong person. But, according to me, you girl has no idea."
There are too many, you have done several businesses, right?"
Tian Min smiled and said nothing. She really had this idea, but she was not in a hurry now. She just needed to find a good cook, and it was just a small shop.
"Dad, sister..." Xiao Wu ran into the yard from outside, holding a smooth bamboo stick. Xiao Yuan's face was red and full of sweat. Luo Shi looked at it and shook his head, and hurriedly took out the handkerchief and asked for it.
Wipe it for him.
"Sir, here you are, how are you doing?" Tian Minrui glared at him with a slightly sullen face.
Xiao Wu stuck out his tongue and immediately bowed his hands to Xia Guang respectfully: "Sir, you are polite."
"Yes." Xia Guang nodded, and seeing Xiao Wu looking at Tian Minyan and the others hesitant to speak, he stood up and said, "After having tea and snacks, I went to the fields for a walk.
Eat, eat, eat."
"Sir, can I accompany you?" Tian Minrui stood up when he saw this.
"No, I'll go for a walk by myself." Xia Guang waved his hand, called his servant Pony, and walked out.
When Xiao Wu saw Xia Guang leaving, he couldn't wait to say to everyone: "Dad, Mom, I just saw the second aunt's carriage passing by our house, going to the old house."
Tian Huairen and the others looked at each other, it didn't matter. Neither Mr. Tian nor Jiang went to Henghe. It didn't matter that the married lady went back to her parents' home to see her parents.
"But I saw Er Gu wiping her tears." Xiao Wu said again tightly.
Luo Shi frowned when he heard this, but he quickly distanced himself and said softly: "I'm afraid there might be some trouble. Children, don't be so gossipy. Come on, go change clothes with your mother. I see you're all sweaty.
I told you not to play crazy, but you just don’t listen, so don’t be fooled."
Xiao Wu followed Luo Shi obediently. Tian Minyan thought for a moment and then asked Tian Minrui: "Brother, have you heard anything about the second aunt's family?"
Ever since Luo's miscarriage, Tian Huailan may have felt guilty and fearful, and was very silent. He didn't dare to come to the house to do anything. I don't know what happened to him suddenly.
Tian Minrui thought for a while and said, "No, but it seems that the Yang Family Cloth Store has been sold."
When Tian Minyan heard this, she shrugged, glanced at Tian Huairen and said, "I'm afraid I really have a quarrel with my uncle."
As soon as he said this, Jixiang came over and said that Saburo from the old house was here.
"Third uncle, grandma asked you to come over. She said she had something to say." After Sanlang came in, he felt a little embarrassed and said to Tian Huairen.
