The girls left to go to the East Mansion, and the whole courtyard suddenly quieted down, Xu Jin led the Fei brothers into the house and sat down, and their own maid brought tea, which was the small black tea that Huang Desheng sent yesterday.

The amber tea soup in a white porcelain cup is very eye-catching. Fei Maoxian picked up the teacup and smelled it, and said with a smile: "The tea leaves of this black tea are too clumsy, and there is a fireworks smell, but the tea soup brewed is with a longan-like fruity aroma, drinking mellow and sweet, a little unaccustomed to the first taste, but I think it's pretty good to drink a few more sips." ”

Xu Jin smiled, it was normal for the people of the Ming Dynasty who were used to drinking green tea to suddenly drink fully fermented black tea, and they were not used to it.

In fact, black tea needs to be brewed with water with a slightly harder degree to be more mellow and rich, while water in Europe is generally harder, which is suitable for making black tea. Because of this, Europeans especially like to drink black tea, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the small black tea was exported to Britain for the first time, favored by the British aristocracy, and quickly swept the whole Europe, the estuary black tea also became popular, the top grade river red (Zhengshan small species) was praised by the Europeans as the queen of tea.

Fei Maozhong took a sip of black tea and put the teacup down, he still liked the fragrant and elegant green tea, and asked: "Ziqian, I heard my father say that you are going to stay in Leadshan County for a few months, and you will go to Goose Lake Academy to audit?" ”

Xu Jin nodded and said, "Exactly!" ”

Fei Maoxian and Fei Maozhong glanced at each other happily, and the latter stroked his palm and smiled: "That's great, the three of us can study together as usual and discuss together." ”

Fei Maozhong likes to discuss, and during the half year he studied at Xinjiang Academy, he discussed various issues with Xu Jin on the way to and from school every day, which can be said to have benefited a lot.

Fei Maoxian said: "Second brother, let's stop sitting, take Ziqian around and familiarize yourself with the environment." ”

Fei Maozhong said with a smile: "Then dare to be kind, Dabao, hurry up and prepare the car, let's go to the city first, and visit the Goose Lake Academy another day." ”

"Okay!" Dabao cleverly ran out and greeted Erniu by the way.

As a result, as soon as Xu Jin and the others walked out of the courtyard, they met a group of warblers and Yanyan, who were the daughters of Xie Xiaowan who had gone and returned, and there were two more Fei Ruyi's master and servant.

"Xianggong!" Xie Xiaowan and Fei Ruyi were originally holding hands and walking intimately, but when they saw Xu Jin, they immediately greeted them happily.

Fei Xiaoyu giggled and said, "It's a coincidence, we met the third sister and the painting before we left the house, so we turned around and came back, cluck!" ”

Fei Ruyi was wearing a light green long skirt, with a slender waist, her hair curled into a tassel bun, her eyebrows were lightly drawn, her cherry lips were like two peach blossoms, her pretty face was pleasing to the eye, her beautiful eyes quickly glanced at Xu Jin and then moved away slightly ashamedly, and said secretly: "He seems to have grown taller, and he looks better!" ”

It is said that since the last time in the pavilion in the backyard of the Fei family, Fei Ruyi ran away crying, after more than two months, Xu Jin saw this beautiful girl for the first time, and his mood was complicated and unspeakable, with embarrassment, guilt, and joy.

Xu Jin bowed his hand a little unnaturally: "I've seen Ruyi girl!" ”

Fei Ruyi's heart trembled slightly, and he bowed slightly: "Congratulations to Xu Gongzi for being at the top of the hospital examination and winning the children's test for three yuan." ”

Fei Maozhong quipped: "The third sister can't favor one over the other, shouldn't she also congratulate me and my eldest brother?" ”

Fei Ruyi's cheeks suddenly flew away, and he hurriedly said: "Third sister, congratulations to the eldest brother and second brother, I wish the two brothers to be promoted in high school next year and be on the laurel list!" ”

Because the township test is held every three years, it is held in August, which is the season when the osmanthus is fragrant, so it is called Qiuqiu, and the list is called Guibang.

Fei Maozhong laughed and said: "Cheng Third Sister Jiyan, I can finally compare with Ziqian and the University of Science and Technology." ”

Fei Jixiang said narrowly: "The second brother and Xu Gongzi are both fifteen-year-old talents, and they are both the heads of the hospital examination, who is more powerful, it will be revealed after the township examination next year." ”

Fei Maozhong said confidently: "I am the one who answers the yuan of the township test!" ”

Xu Jin nodded and said, "I think it is, too!" ”

Fei Maozhong smiled bitterly: "Ziqian, your words are ambiguous, and you can advance and retreat freely, is it me, or you?" ”

Xu Jin smiled and said, "I understand!" ”

The women giggled.

At this moment, Jia Ding Dabao trotted over and said, "Young master, the carriage is ready, it's time to go." ”

Fei Xiaoyu hurriedly asked, "Big brother, where are you going?" ”

Fei Maoxian said: "Before the Chinese New Year, Ziqian will stay in Leadshan County, and we are planning to take him to the city to get acquainted with the environment. ”

Fei Ruyi's beautiful eyes flashed with a touch of joy, and she secretly glanced at Xu Jin, the girl's heart seemed to be sprinkled with a ray of sunshine, inexplicably excited!

Fei Xiaoyu shouted happily: "I'm going too, people haven't entered the city for half a month, you wait, I'll go back and change my clothes!" ”

Fei Xiaoyu, the little pepper, turned around and ran away after speaking, and Yahuan watched the chess and hurriedly chased out of the yard: "The girl is waiting for me!" ”

Fei Maoxian and Fei Maozhong looked at each other and smiled bitterly.

Fei Jixiang rolled his eyes, took Fei Ruyi's hand and said with a smile: "Third sister, since Shangrao moved back, we haven't been to the city yet, it's rare to have a lot of people today, why don't you have a fun together?" ”

Fei Ruyi didn't agree yet, and the girl next to her said excitedly: "Okay, good!" ”

"You wild girl is just playful!" Fei Ruyi glanced at the painting, and the latter pouted and muttered in a low voice: "People are not thinking about you, girl." ”

Fei Ruyi's face was slightly red, and she took Xie Xiaowan's hand and said softly: "Sister Xiaowan, why don't you go to the city together, although the county seat of Leadshan is not as big as that of Shangrao County, it is still quite lively." ”

After all, Xie Xiaowan is only a fourteen-year-old girl, and naturally she also likes to go shopping, and she looked at Xu Jin hopefully when she heard this.

Xu Jin nodded and said, "If you want to go, go there!" ”

Xie Xiaowan smiled happily and said, "Thank you, Xianggong!" ”

Xu Jin smiled dotingly: "Thank you, thank you, if you want to play on the street in the future, let Yue'er accompany you, don't ask me, our family doesn't have so many rules." ”

Xie Xiaowan's heart was sweet, and she nodded shyly, a trace of envy flashed in Fei Ruyi's eyes, and she pulled Xie Xiaowan and said, "Sister Xiaowan, let's go, let's go and change our clothes!" ”

Half an hour later, the four carriages left the Fei family's manor and headed towards the county seat of Leadshan.

In the carriage, Xie Xiaowan, who had changed into a housekeeper's clothes, unnaturally straightened the housekeeper's hat. Yahuan Xiaoyue next to her also changed into a family's outfit, and said with a strange expression: "Madam, that Fei family girl is really wonderful, there are so many men's clothes hidden in the house!" ”

Xu Jin couldn't help but be secretly amused, he had long heard that Fei Xiaoyu's little pepper often disguised as a man and went out to play, and it seemed that it was so.
