Chapter 128 I Can't Cook Tea

Although he told himself so in his heart, Cui Pu still took the money.

When the appointed day came, Mu Jiaojiao took the newly dressed Cui Shiwuniang into the carriage.

Leyou was originally located in the east of Chang'an City, and it was a good place for people in the Tang Dynasty to climb high and look far away, and think about the past.During Emperor Wu's period, Princess Taiping was loved by thousands of people, and she also built many pavilions here for her own enjoyment.These have long since become places for the general public to rest and rest.

What Mu Jiaojiao is going to today is Qinglong Temple on Leyouyuan.

Sitting in the carriage, the fifteenth lady was fidgeting with excitement. "Sister-in-law, do you think my outfit today is okay? Is it not generous enough? Will Wei Wang Shifei and the others ignore me? And... what else is there? I can't remember!"

puff!
Mu Jiaojiao helplessly patted her on the shoulder: "Don't overthink things too much. Didn't I tell you? You are the wife of the Cui family in Boling. At home, your status may not be outstanding, But in this city of Chang'an, if you work alone, you can definitely crush at least [-]% of the young ladies. And the people who gathered with us today are no more than the Zhang family, the Xue family, and the Yang family. You have to know that these people are all They are vying to marry our little lady. Maybe seeing you gentle, quiet, elegant and virtuous today, someone will come to propose marriage in the future!"

"Sister-in-law!" The fifteenth lady blushed brightly after being teased by her, and she was no longer so nervous.

Not long after the carriage arrived at Qinglong Temple, the aunt and sister-in-law got out of the carriage, and a little monk led them to the main hall behind.

Princess Wei is already waiting there.Seeing the fifteenth lady who came with Mu Jiaojiao, she sincerely praised: "What a beautiful little lady, you must have fun today, don't be restrained."

The fifteenth lady nodded quickly.

Immediately, the concubine said to Mu Jiaojiao: "I heard that the Guanyin Guanyin here is very effective, why don't we go in and worship together!"

The corners of Mu Jiaojiao's lips twitched.

However, she reluctantly nodded to the hopeful gaze of the concubine from the previous world. "Then go in and say goodbye!"

Because it is on Leyouyuan, and not far from Qujiang and Peony Garden, the Qinglong Temple has always been full of incense.The Buddha statues in the temple are also molded with solemn treasures, majestic and majestic, which makes people feel awe.

Mu Jiaojiao and the concubine Shizi went in together and burned three sticks of incense. After Mu Jiaojiao kowtowed, she turned around and found that the concubine Shizi was still chanting words to the Guanyin statue with her hands clasped together.After talking for a long time, she knelt down piously three times, got up and threw something wrapped in a heavy red cloth into the merit incense.

After worshiping Avalokitesvara, the two of them left the main hall, and the solemn face of Shizi Concubine showed a smile, and she said to Mu Jiaojiao and the fifteenth lady: "Let's go to the wing room and wait for them. This Qinglong Temple The tea in the tea is very good, sweet and sweet, and has a sense of Zen, drinking a cup will calm people's hearts."

Neither Mu Jiaojiao nor the fifteenth lady had any objection to her arrangement.

The wing room was cleaned early.After the three of them were seated, someone brought a small stove, charcoal fire, tea cakes and other things soon.The concubine Shizi washed her hands and cooked tea for them herself.

Seeing this, the fifteenth lady was so excited that she could hardly sit still.Mu Jiaojiao still smiled slightly: "Then there will be Concubine Lao Shizi. Although I like drinking tea, I really don't know how to cook it. Every time I want to drink this kind of tea, I ask my girl to do it. Today we are lucky !"

Although I have seen her calm appearance before, but now that there are fifteen ladies on the side for comparison, Shi Zifei still can't help but look at her more.

Soon the three bowls of tea were ready, Mu Jiaojiao took a sip and put down the tea bowls.

The current tea has too much salt and pepper added to it, and the taste is too strong for her liking.When she drinks tea, she always just brews it with boiling water.

But the fifteenth lady liked it very much, she finished a bowl of tea carefully, she nodded repeatedly and said: "The concubine Shizi cooked this bowl of tea really well! The heat is just right, the seasoning is also very precise, the tea is sweet and delicious, so good Very drunk!"

"Really? Miss Fifteen, do you also like to cook tea?" Shi Zifei asked with a smile.

The fifteenth lady nodded her head shyly. "When I have nothing to do, I also like to cook tea by myself. It's just that I'm not skilled and I don't have any good tea cakes at hand. The things I cook are incomparable to yours, Crown Princess."

"What does that matter? This thing is just a fun to pass the time. It doesn't matter whether he makes it well or not, as long as you like it." Shi Zifei laughed, "Anyway, everything here is ready-made, so you can cook it too. Try the jug."

The fifteenth lady's eyes were shining, but she still looked at Mu Jiaojiao as if asking for help.Mu Jiaojiao nodded, and then she joyfully put two pieces of charcoal into the small stove, and picked up the bamboo chopsticks to get busy.

Seeing her hands flying up and down, like two butterflies fluttering lightly, a pair of bamboo chopsticks in her hands seemed to have grown wings and fluttered non-stop. It was only at this time that Mu Jiaojiao didn't know that the tea ceremony of the fifteenth lady was actually Learned so well!
Soon another bowl of tea was brought to her, and the concubine Shi Zi took a sip, then nodded and said: "Well, your technique is good, and your movements are also very proficient, but you still lack some heat and timing. But This tea is still a bit sweet after brewing, which is not bad at your age. In the future, pay more attention to the heat and time, and it will definitely improve in the future."

"Thank you for your compliment!" The fifteenth lady hurriedly said, tears welling up in her eyes.

Mu Jiaojiao also smiled at her, silently encouraging her.

The three of them were chatting and laughing when someone came in again.

"Hey, we said we were afraid they would be bored waiting! Look, they are obviously enjoying themselves, and they are not boring at all!" A woman dressed as a woman laughed.

The concubine Shi Zi quickly went up to meet her. "Isn't it boring to wait, so just make tea to pass the time? You guys are here just in time, let's all sit down and have a bowl of tea!"

Leading this group of people in, the concubine Shi Zi introduced them to Mu Jiaojiao and the fifteenth lady one by one.The wives and ladies of the Yang family and the wives and ladies of the Xue family of the Zhang family came to watch the sunset with them today.Mu Jiaojiao greeted them one by one, and the fifteenth lady also obediently bowed without mentioning it.

After the meeting, everyone took their seats.After taking a sip of tea, a wife of the Xue family smiled at Mu Jiaojiao: "So Mrs. Cui Liushao also likes to cook tea? I don't know which cup here is made by you? I just want to drink one too. The tea made by the miraculous doctor herself, It must be able to strengthen the body and cure all diseases!"

very good.The wife of the Xue family is a relative of Princess Tang Chang.

Mu Jiaojiao smiled lightly.

"I don't know how to make tea," she said.
