Chapter 75
"Sister, this tea is not very tasty, it's bitter, and it's not as good as the usual scented tea."

Shangguanying took a sip regardless of whether the tea was hot or not, and complained while fanning her mouth with her small hands.

"Fourth Sister is really reckless. The reason why this Moxue is regarded as a tribute tea is not only because of its scarcity, but because of its unique way of drinking."

Shangguan Xue also picked up the cup in front of her, put it under her nose, let the fragrance of tea penetrate into her nostrils, closed her eyes comfortably, and stopped after talking halfway.

"Second sister is really good. I don't say half of what I have said. Isn't this a tantalizing thing?"

"Because Moxue grows on the top of Lingyun Mountain, it is covered by snow all year round, and only in August and September every year can you see the sun, so the growth cycle is extremely long. Generally, the taste of tea is very smooth once it is matured in a year. There is a taste of tea fragrance in the mouth, but the texture of Moxue's three-year-old tea is very firm, and it is extremely difficult to produce aroma. In order to stimulate the aroma, you need to hold the tea soup in your mouth and gently stir it with the tip of your tongue Let the tea soup flow in the mouth like river water, so that the aroma locked in the tea leaves will be released with the tip of the tongue, and once the aroma is tasted, the fragrance will remain on the lips and teeth for three days and three nights."

Shangguan Xue seemed to be immersed in her own world, but she spoke very fluently, expressing the magic of Mo Xue clearly, as if she drank it every day, but Shangguan Ning knew that there was only Mo Xue in the Shangguan mansion. I and my grandmother Ning each have a can, and it is said that the can of the grandmother is hidden in the snow like a treasure of the grandmother, even the grandmother herself is reluctant to take a sip, let alone distribute it to these children and grandchildren?
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration came, did Shangguanxue really drink this tea, if so, where and who can have this imperial court's private tribute tea?

"Second sister said this, and I feel ashamed. I didn't know that this small tea can have so many universes. It doesn't taste like ordinary tea as fourth sister said before."

Shangguan Ning was no less familiar with Mo Xue than Shangguan Xue. In her previous life, she had pretended to be a servant girl at Prime Minister Wang's mansion to inquire about news, and happened to be in charge of cooking tea and water.Prime Minister Wang is in charge of the internal affairs of the palace, and all the tributes have to go through his hands. This Prime Minister Wang is also a master of plucking wild goose, no matter what he wants to deduct, this rare tribute tea is no exception. .

Although Wang Chengxiang is a greedy and shameless person, he is very fond of calligraphy, painting and tea art. When he was in the mood, he often showed off to the tea girls who were waiting by his side, how to make tea, how to taste tea, the types of tea and the characteristics of tea. The relevant things are all familiar, and I have been swayed by the sky, and in order to better inquire about the news, I have also put in a lot of effort to study and learn how to cook tea in private. Among them, the most caring and familiar one is Dayong Moxue.

However, Shangguan Xue was so familiar that it seemed a little abnormal. Shangguan Ning was paying attention to Shangguan Xue's movements while talking, and saw Shangguan Xue's brows stretched and her lips were like blood, and the bright tea soup seemed to have magic power and lightly entered the beauty mouth.

"Sure enough, as the second sister said, after stirring it with the tip of the tongue for a while, the aroma of the tea came out. My sister is really lucky. I was able to drink Dayong Moxue from my sister. I'm afraid I will miss this taste day and night after I go back."

This time it was Shangguan Lian who spoke, and it seemed that because of the nourishment of the tea, his voice was much clearer and louder than before, but compared with ordinary people, there was still a gap.

"Third sister is feeling better?"

Since entering the hall, Shangguan Ning hadn't formally spoken to Shangguan Lian, so she naturally took over the conversation.

"Thank you, sister, for your concern. It's much better, but after all, it's an old problem for many years. I'm afraid it won't be cured in this lifetime."

Shangguan Lian's face was covered with a layer of sadness, as long as he thought of his original youthful age but had to drag his sick body, Shangguan Lian couldn't restrain his sadness.

"What is my sister talking about? You are so discouraged at such a young age. What kind of family are we going to the government? Can't you cure my sister's illness? Turn around and let Yuanyang follow Ziyu to the warehouse. There is a thousand-year-old snow ginseng that nourishes the body very well, if I don’t need it, it’s a waste.”

"How dare my younger sister accept such a valuable thing from my elder sister?"

"No matter how precious something is, it's useless if it can't be used right, unless my sister doesn't regard me as her sister."

"Then my sister will thank my sister first."

As Shangguan Lian said that, he wanted to stand up from the chair, but after all, he was weak and felt dizzy when he stood up after sitting for a long time. Shangguan Ning quickly ordered Shangguan Lian's girl, Yuanyang, to support his master.

"What are we sisters doing with these vain rituals? Yuanyang, quickly help your young lady to sit down."

"My sister is really kind and magnanimous. The maids and mothers-in-law in the yard used to say that my sister didn't pay attention to us concubine sisters because of her status as the eldest daughter, and they didn't want to talk to us."

As soon as Shangguan Ying's voice fell, the room fell silent for a moment. Both Shangguan Xue and Shangguan Lian looked at the instigator still ignorant, with a black line at one end.

Shangguanying's girl Lily broke out in a cold sweat, her master is simply a little ancestor, and she didn't know where she heard the gossip, but she ran to the person concerned so carelessly to tell it, and she was afraid that others would not know Like yelling loudly.

"Oh? Then the fourth sister thinks why they would say that?"

Shangguan Ning didn't look angry at all, and even looked very pleasant, but Shangguan Xue, Shangguan Lian and the girls in the room were shivering from the cold.

"Hmph, those maids and wives are not good people, they like to speak ill of others every day, did you say that Ying'er was not born to Auntie?"

Lily really hoped that she could pass out at this moment, so that she wouldn't have to stand here in fear.But in fact, not only did he not faint, but he was still standing beside this little ancestor, so he had no choice but to kneel down.

"Miss forgive me, Miss Si is young and doesn't know what to say and what not to say, offended you, and I ask Miss Si not to blame for Miss Si's young age, I kowtow to you on behalf of Miss Si. After finishing speaking, he really lowered his head, and slammed it down on the floor. Shangguan Ning gave a wink and went to the closest Lily, who was the closest to Lily, and stepped forward to stop Lily.

"It's fine to talk about it in my Ningyu Pavilion. After all, all the people here today are my sisters and close maids, but the fourth sister is still young and can't distinguish between good and evil. Where did you hear all these miscellaneous things?" Could it be that the nurse in charge of Qiuxiangyuan is a deaf-mute person, or is she bullying the fourth younger sister to ignore her master when she is young?"
