An arrogant concubine fell from the harem

Chapter 179: Born to be an Enemy (5)

Xie Xida tasted it carefully: "This tea is very special, and the taste is not bad. It is slightly bitter at first, and then slightly sweet."

Wu Dalang said: "Bitterness first, sweetness later, it is endless aftertaste."

Song Huilian asked me: "Concubine Shu, do you like this tea?"

I raised my neck, drank the tea in the cup in one gulp, and said, "It's okay."

Wu Dalang turned to look at me, with a half-smile on his face: "It's okay? What does it mean—what is it?"

Could it be that Wu Dalang’s words were mocking me for not knowing how to taste tea, and people who know how to taste tea can only sip small sips and slowly aftertaste, unlike me, who drink it up in one gulp, a typical "cow drinker" family.I really don't know how to taste tea, I only know how to taste coffee, but there was no coffee in ancient times.I didn't hide my own superficiality, and said honestly with a cheeky face: "It's okay. It's better than plain water. Plain water is bland and tasteless. Tea, anyway, has a bitter and astringent taste."

On Wu Dalang's stern face, there was a little smile, and he said to Xie Xida: "Do you know what it means to be ignorant? Concubine Shu is like this, she is ignorant."

Song Huilian laughed coquettishly, seeming to agree with Wu Dalang's words.

Xie Xi laughed too, and said, "Concubine Shu is just not interested in tea."

Wu Dalang looked at him: "You seem to know her very well."

Xie Xida smiled lightly, neither humble nor overbearing, and his voice was calm: "I grew up with Concubine Shu since I was young, and my relationship is like brother and sister, with a better personality and temper. Last time I went to Yunnan to welcome my relatives, I was lucky to get along with Concubine Shu again." After half a month, I found that Concubine Shu is still the same as when she was a child, not much has changed."

"I was unruly and willful when I was young, and I am also unruly and willful when I grow up. This is a nature that is hard to change." Wu Dalang said.

I kept a blank face and didn't speak.

Wu Dalang and Xie Xida started playing chess again.

I had nothing to do, watching Song Hye Lian make tea.Next to Wu Dalang, a young eunuch named Ping An, followed him wholeheartedly.Song Huilian told him while making tea: "Drinking tea is not only a way of life, but also a realm. On formal occasions, there are many procedures for drinking tea, including preparing utensils, appreciating tea cakes, roasting tea, grinding tea, sieving There are sixteen steps: tea, waiting for soup, adding salt, scooping soup, mixing tea with soup, dividing tea, serving tea, smelling tea, observing color, tasting tea, thanking tea..."

Wu Dalang likes to drink tea, Song Huilian knows how to make tea, no wonder the two of them hit it off.

Wu Dalang and I are destined to be enemies by nature.

I bit my lip, feeling a little sad for some reason.
