Chapter 880: Gao Leng Jiaoke
In the Great Jin Dynasty, all the literati and scholars who had a little bit of family background were very particular about tea.
Different tea leaves use different water, and even the charcoal used for burning the fire is also very particular.
The utensils are even more unique, and if you really want to talk about it in detail, I am afraid that it will not be able to be said for three days and three nights.
However, what Lin Mengya wants to make for Ning Qiu today is the Yunqing tea that is popular among the nobles of the Lieyun Kingdom.
This tea is very delicate, but the tea soup is clear and translucent, without the slightest impurity.
The taste is elegant, not bitter or astringent, and slightly sweet.
Therefore, the brewed water is extremely exquisite, it must be a clear and slightly sweet spring water, coupled with smokeless and dust-free silver silk charcoal, and finally served in a tea bowl of green jade with good quality, so as not to lose the taste of this tea.
is because of the cumbersomeness and delicacy of this bowl of tea, even if it is the entire Lieyun, what can be drunk is just the favored children of a few families.
Now that she is here, Lin Mengya naturally wants to show the difference between Ning Qiu everywhere.
If it is something else, it seems a little deliberate.
You have to be attentive to this kind of small thing to make people more and more convinced.
The lark looked at this Helan girl with the heart, and saw that she seemed to complain unintentionally, and she immediately understood that this was because the coquettish guest named Ning Qiu had always been pampered.
showed a look of ignorance and came to ask Lin Mengya.
"Sister's nose is so good, it's just that in a rural place like ours, where can there be such a precious thing. I wronged the Ning Qiu girl, and I also wronged my sister. ”
Lin Mengya did not insist on using the best things, but frowned, although she was a little dissatisfied, she did not have a seizure.
"It's okay, just bring some refreshing tea to my girl. She has a light taste and can't drink any heavy tea. ”
Who would be so thoughtful when they are away from home.
Besides, Lin Mengya had long expected that it would not be the same as the palace here, there were many things that should be there.
All she wants is to make others feel it.
Ning Qiu grew up in brocade clothes and jade food, and ordinary things are unsightly.
However, the Xin family is different, and some things can also be compared to the quality of things seen in the palace.
So Lin Mengya picked and chosen, and after getting a few things that could be seen and eyed, she followed the lark back to the courtyard where the banquet was held.
"Sister go slowly, I still have to go to see other things, so I won't go with my sister."
The lark said softly, and the person gradually disappeared in front of Lin Mengya.
Naturally knowing that she was going to report to her master, Lin Mengya bowed slightly, and did not say anything else.
Walking in front of Ning Qiu with tea and snacks, the courteous Mrs. Xin was greeting the other ladies at this time.
Although everyone did not snub Ning Qiu, Ning Qiu did not take the initiative to talk.
Instead, she sat quietly on the side, and it was only when others mentioned her that they nodded lightly, which was regarded as a hello.
"Girl, you've got your tea."
Lin Mengya put all the things in front of Ning Qiu and said softly.
The latter just glanced at it and nodded faintly.
The relationship between this pair of 'master and servant' all fell into the eyes of others.
The ladies felt more and more that only Lady Jingrou and the king could raise such a god-like figure.
The attitude towards Ning Qiu became more and more respectful, and he did not dare to slack off in the slightest.
Retreating behind Ning Qiu, Lin Mengya, like several other people, tried her best to pretend to be indifferent to the world.
Even though they all had cold faces, as if someone owed them money.
But it is such a cold style that makes Lin Mengya and her party become an existence that no one can ignore at the banquet.
Mrs. Xin's eyes had an extremely vague look of pride.
treats Ning Qiu more and more carefully.
Knowing that this coquettish guest can't be lazy, so the young lady and lady who want to come to recognize him or something, they all pick some valuable status to introduce.
The others were also blocked by her.
But even so, in the middle of the banquet, Lin Mengya still obeyed their girl's wishes and said goodbye to Mrs. Xin.
At the banquet, in addition to the host, only the people who are extremely close to the host of the banquet, the guests who are mainly invited to the banquet, and the banquet of the royal family, or those who have no status, will stay until the end.
Now as Ning Qiu, it is the best choice to retire at this time.
"But my diet here is not good, so the girl is disappointed?"
In order to show respect, Mrs. Xin took the initiative to get up and asked earnestly.
"Madame's words are serious, Ning Qiu is not strong enough to drink, she swept away Madame's fun, and asked Madame not to be rude to Ning Qiu."
Others drank, but Ning Qiu just drank some tea sent by Lin Mengya from beginning to end.
Even the dim sum only pinched a small peony roll, where is the strength of the wine.
When Mrs. Naxin saw and heard it, she naturally understood what Ning Qiu meant.
Leaving everyone behind, he personally sent Ning Qiu to the door.
After repeated retention, Fang sent someone to send Ning Qiu and his party back.
Quietly returned to the courtyard where Ning Qiu lived, but it was only one night, and what could only be said to be a quiet small courtyard had been added a lot of things.
Now in addition to elegance, Lin Mengya can't find any adjectives.
"Thank you for sending me, my girl is polite."
Lin Mengya made a look, Bai Su and Qinghu immediately took out a lot of silver buns from their sleeves and rewarded all those who followed back.
"Thank you, girl, for the reward, the little ones have retired."
The heavy silver bun in his hand made everyone's face show a flattering smile.
Be respectful to the top, and be cold and generous to the bottom.
This is Lin Mengya's policy for Ning Qiu, as a goddess-like character, she can't be too close to anyone.
The four of them entered the courtyard, and the door was tightly closed, blocking the prying eyes of all interested people.
Ning Qiu forced himself into the inner room, and the person immediately softened, and collapsed on the beauty couch like soft mud.
"My sister Helan, you didn't say that if you are a Gu girl, you have to starve to death, right? Once upon a time, when I was a palace maid, I was still full. Why is it that my identity has changed now, and I am not as good as before? ”
Seeing Ning Qiu looking at herself pitifully, Lin Mengya also knew that this girl must have been starved fiercely.
During the day, in order to put on the clothes he carefully prepared for her, she was hungry all day.
She only poured a stomach full of tea at night, how could a girl of her age not be hungry?
"Thank you for your hard work, Bai Su, Qinghu, you go get something to eat and come back. We've all worked hard today, so treat you well. ”
The two men also ripped off their outfits and regained their previous nature.
Their martial arts are already outstanding, so it's not a problem to get some food.
It didn't take a while, and on the table in Ning Qiu's room, there were a lot more meat dishes such as roast chicken and goose.
As soon as Ning Qiu wanted to pinch the chopsticks, she was separated by Lin Mengya on the boiled vegetables that looked bland.
"You can only eat this for the past few days, bear with it first, and when you get to the Ten Thousand Gu Pool, you can eat whatever you want."
Ning Qiu glanced at Lin Mengya with tears in her eyes, and kept swallowing her saliva as she watched others eat happily.
But Lin Mengya was telling the truth, she had a fragrant powder on her body that could attract the Ice Jade Cicada Gu.
If you want to last longer, you are destined to have a pure heart and few desires.
To put it mildly, Lin Mengya finally managed to even out a piece of steamed fish for her.
The girl seemed to have tasted the supreme delicacy, and she almost ate all the fish bones, so she was not miserable.
Full of wine and food, these remnants, Qinghu and Bai Su, will naturally find a place to deal with them.
Lin Mengya and Ning Qiu found incense, and the cold sweet fragrance filled the entire room, and the smell of those foods gradually dissipated.
Several people each drank another cup of warm tea before sitting at the table to discuss the rest of the matter.
"Our performance today is very good, and I think the Xin family will definitely take the bait. Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, they should intentionally or unintentionally let you get close to the Ice Jade Cicada Gu again. Do you know what to do when the time comes? ”
Ning Qiu nodded, Madam Jingrou had said all these things, she naturally wouldn't forget them easily.
Lin Mengya calculated the time, Ah Xiu should also arrive in the next few days.
As soon as the person arrived, her plan should be half successful.
"But will they really believe me? I always feel that with the ability of the Xin family, it is impossible to be so panicked. Even if I could control the Ice Jade Cicada Gu, they might not necessarily recognize me as a Gu girl. And it will also sell our favors and let His Royal Highness Nine enter the Ten Thousand Gu Pool. ”
Although Ning Qiu has been nesting in the house for the past few days, everything outside has reached her ears.
The Xin family's temptation of her can be said to be pervasive.
Since she couldn't get in, she waited outside for an opportunity to spy on her maid.
Fortunately, these people were all personally selected by Mrs. Jingrou, and they were also old people who had served in the palace for many years.
Otherwise, maybe there will really be some flaws.
"They will, do you think that the riot that day, including the Ice Jade Cicada Gu, was just for them to come out and walk around?"
Lin Mengya's calm appearance seems to be completely sure.
He raised an eyebrow and explained to the three curious people.
"Although these are peripheral Gu worms and poisonous insects, according to my calculations, the landform of the Ten Thousand Gu Pool should be extremely special. These Gu worms and poisonous insects can't leave there easily. Otherwise, without the control of Gu girls over the years, they would have left a long time ago, or they were raised in captivity by the people of the Xin family. Why do you say that those people want to get the benefits of the Ten Thousand Gu Pool, but they have to go deep into the dangerous place? This shows that those things are useless once they leave the Ten Thousand Gu Pool. So I managed to attract so many things that day, but I was afraid that the Xin family would be distressed to death at this moment. ”
Saying this, the other three people understood Lin Mengya's ultimate purpose of attracting Gu worms and poisonous insects.
