A tree of peach blossoms pressing the prime minister

Chapter 82 What kind of tea to make?

"Oh?" Shen Zaiye was a little surprised: "This matter is also related to the Qin family?"

Mei sighed: "To be precise, this matter has nothing to do with my concubine. When the concierge came to report the news, my concubine was resting, and Mrs. Qin was in the yard, so I gave orders. As for what she thought, my concubine I didn't know it myself. When I found out later, I didn't think it was a big deal, so I didn't tell the master."

Taohua was stunned, looking at the calm-looking Mrs. Mei, she was sweating for Qin.He quietly shifted the responsibility to others. Poor Mrs. Qin probably doesn't know anything, so she has to bear the blame.

"Since it's not Madam's fault, it's not Madam's fault." Concentrating her mind, Tao Hua said with a smile: "Madam is gentle and always considerate of others. Madam Qin is kind in nature, so she must have no evil intentions. From my concubine's point of view , don’t want the concierge’s life anymore, just let him hand over the matter in hand and go out of the house.”

Mei Zhaoxue looked at her in surprise: "Didn't Lady Jiang just say she wanted his life?"

"Saving someone's life is better than building a seven-level pagoda, and I am willing to accumulate more virtue." Tao Hua leaned against Shen Zaiye, lowered her head and smiled at him: "Besides, our master is only stubborn in his mouth, but soft in his heart, how could he really take someone's life? Woolen cloth?"

He said that the punishment was serious, but now that he gave in, the concierge felt that he had been favored, and quickly kowtowed: "Thank you, Mrs. Jiang, thank you, Mr. Xiang!"

Mei Zhaoxue glanced at him lightly, pursed her lips and said to Shen Zaiye: "Since Mrs. Jiang is magnanimous, what about the Qin family..."

Shen Zaiye said indifferently: "You can not pursue it this time, but if there is a next time, if I find out that someone in this mansion is scheming, it will be that you, the wife, have neglected your duty."

"I understand." Mei Zhaoxue nodded, stood up and said, "I will resign now, and I have to go back to practice tea art."

"En." Shen Zaye nodded, watched her retreat, and waved Zhanlu to take the kneeling porter out.

The room fell silent, Taohua stood up straight, rubbed her waist, frowned and muttered: "Madam will settle this on my head."

"Are you still afraid that she won't succeed?" Shen Zaye chuckled and looked up at her: "In terms of intelligence, she is not as good as you."

"It can be said that it's a shady one, after all, Jiang is still old and spicy." With a flat mouth, Tao Hua looked at Shen Zaiye and said: "If something happens in the future, the master will have to protect the concubine."

Shen Zaiye pursed his lips, stretched out his hand to lift her over and hugged her, and said slowly: "Don't you have to protect you? If you don't protect you, it's time for a thunderstorm."

With a chill behind him, Taohua quickly stretched out her arms to hug his neck, and yelled at his face: "Master is the best!"

"It's not good at all." Shen Zaiye smiled bluntly: "There is a little rabbit that doesn't please me when it talks. I'm thinking whether it's better to steam it or braise it in brown sauce."

"It's best to let it die!" Twisting her body, Taohua said in a coquettish voice, "The little rabbit is so cute, how can you bear to eat it?"

Reaching out and pinching her waist, Shen Jaeye snorted coldly: "Speak well!"

"Yes! What this concubine means is that I have helped you so much, so you should be magnanimous. Don't argue with me about every single word!" Taohua said solemnly: "Those who make great things don't care about small things, don't care about them. Grandpa will live a long life!"

It means that if he cares about her, his life will be short?Shen Zaiye was angry and laughed, and he kneaded his face while holding Taohua: "Say something nice to my grandfather?"

"Master is handsome and unrestrained, he is the best-looking man in the entire Dawei I have ever seen!"

With a smile in his eyes, Shen Zaiye raised his eyebrows: "Really?"

"Really, because I have never met a few men from the Wei Dynasty."

Shen Zaye: "..."

When Zhan Lu came back after dealing with the concierge, he heard screams in Linwu courtyard, followed by the sound of chickens flying and dogs jumping.

He lay down by the door in astonishment and looked, his jaw almost dropped to the ground.

My master, who has always been upright, actually lowered his figure and was messing with Mrs. Jiang!

Peach Blossom leaned against a chair firmly, and separated Shen Zaiye a little: "I am just joking, please be merciful!"

Shen Zaiye supported the armrest of the chair with a half-smile: "I'm here to make a joke with you too, don't run away if you have the ability."

"This concubine is useless!" Tao Hua ran away: "This concubine is a pity!"

"You are clearly the most desperate!"

Pillows and vases were flying all over the house, but nothing was broken.Jiang Taohua couldn't see it, but Zhanlu could see it clearly at the door.My master is obviously teasing her, he just likes to see her running around in a panic, throwing things over, all of them are well connected.

Shaking his head, Zhan Lu was also a little worried.If this continues, will there really be no problem?

After a stick of incense, both of them were so tired that they lay down on the soft couch.Taohua panted and said: "I'm still going back to make tea, now I just want to take a shower and go to bed."

Make tea?Shen Zaiye frowned, and suddenly remembered that it was time for the annual tea party again.

"What tea do you want to prepare?"

Taohua was taken aback, blinked and said, "I took Longjing."

"why?"

"Anyway, I don't know what kind of tea she likes. I used to drink this the most, so I just took this." Taohua smiled slyly.

Looking at her sideways, Shen Zaiye's face was a little tense: "Change it to another."

"Huh?" Taohua turned over, blinked and looked at him: "Isn't the imperial concubine like this?"

"……Um."

Unexpectedly, Shen Zaiye would reveal the news to her, so overjoyed, he quickly got up and tidied up his appearance, and went back to Zhengchun Pavilion.

Since I don't like Longjing, what kind of tea should I use?She discussed it with Gu Huairou, and Gu Huairou said: "Ms. Duan said that Concubine Lan Gui likes bitter tea. This is a bit strange. Although she won last year and married into the prime minister's mansion, she may not be telling the truth. "

"You don't need to think about what she said, just pretend you haven't heard it before." Taohua said, "Excluding Longjing tea now, is there any tea that is delicious and easy to brew?"

Gu Huairou thought for a while, and said: "I'll go to the street today to look for it, and bring back some different kinds of tea for you to choose."

Although it was a little unpleasant before, but after making friends, Gu Huairou was quite upright, and went to Linghan Courtyard to get a sign without saying a word.When I came back, I brought more than 20 kinds of tea, which seemed to take a lot of thought.

Taohua watched, although she didn't say anything, she still turned her head and asked Qingmo to find two treasures and send them to Wenqing Pavilion later.

"Miss, look at this kind of tea." Excitedly holding out a tea bag, Gu Huaiju said: "The shopkeeper said that this is a new kind of tea, called honey scented tea, which is a mixture of rose flowers and green tea, soaked in honey water , not only is it fragrant and sweet, but also it can be brewed deliciously no matter how good or bad the tea art is.”

This kind of tea is also available in Zhao Guo, and Peach Blossom is not very unfamiliar, so I took it after thinking about it, and asked Qingmo to send it to Dr. Li to check if there is anything wrong.

"In addition to tea, there are refreshments, everyone should prepare the same." Gu Huairou asked, "What kind of desserts do you specialize in, lady?"

"Yes." Peach Blossom said confidently, "Peach Blossom Cake just complements this scented tea."

"That's good. Since your place is settled, I'll go back and prepare my own." Gu Huairou stood up and said, "When you're about to enter the palace, the lady has to wait for me to ride with you."

Nodding in agreement, Taohua watched her go out, and then tried to make a pack of honey flower tea to drink.

I don't know if Concubine Lan Gui likes it or not, but she really likes it anyway.This kind of tea should also beautify the face, because her master likes to drink it very much.Even if it's not pleasing, it shouldn't be a big sin.

It was a little nervous to attend this kind of gathering for the first time, but Gu Huairou was so warm-hearted that she even took the initiative to help her choose clothes and jewelry that day, and told her the rules of the palace while doing it.

"As long as you don't clash with Concubine Lan's clothes and jewelry, then it's fine." Gu Shi said, "There's been news from the palace that we just need to avoid the gold-red and peacock-style headgear."

Really particular, Tao Hua nodded, followed what she said one by one, and then went out with her.

When she saw other people, she also subconsciously observed the clothes and headgear, fearing that Gu Huairou would cheat her.After looking around, it turned out that Gu Huairou was really helping her, who entered the palace for the first time.

It turns out that once an enemy becomes a friend, it is really reliable.

"Sister, won't you sit with my concubine today?" Seeing them, Liu Xiangjun hurried up to meet them, looked at Gu Huaiju with aggrieved eyes and said, "Didn't you always bring your younger sister into the palace in previous years?"

"I can't afford it this year." Gu Huairou said indifferently, "Liu Shiyi has another tall branch, so why bother with my carriage? Excuse me."

After finishing speaking, she pulled Taohua over and got into the car outside.

Taohua raised her eyebrows: "You guys have completely turned your back?"

"Well, my lady, remember to be more careful with her." Gu Huairou lowered her eyes: "I grew up with her, and I know what kind of person she is. It's quite annoying to play yin."

Nodding her head, Tao Hua expressed her understanding, she squeezed the food box in her hand and waited to go.

Shen Zaiye was also going to enter the palace today, but it was supposed to be dealing with government affairs, so Taohua didn't ask.However, the power of the Xiangfu is really shocking. There are at most two or three people going to the courtyard of other houses, but the Xiangfu has five carriages alone, let alone more than one person sitting in it.

For a moment, Taohua understood why the backyard was always filled with blood and blood, and this posture was no worse than that in the harem.

The tea tasting party was held in Concubine Lan Guilan's Zhilan Palace. The palace rules were complicated. After a long period of investigation and salutes, the group of wives arrived at the place.

Concubine Lan Gui hadn't come out yet, there were seats up and down in the courtyard, well arranged, and they seemed to be seated according to their status.The three lords and the nine lords each have official ranks, and the daughters of the same family are also divided into prostitutes and concubines. After everyone took their seats, Taohua found that she seemed to be sitting in the wrong place.

She is the princess of Zhao State, and she is not inferior to the daughter of Sangong Jiuqing's family.But there was no vacancy at the top of the stairs, only one at the bottom.
