Sheng Chong Jinghua: There is room for the legitimate daughter of the miracle doctor

Chapter 28
A group of ladies gathered here, seemingly harmonious, but in fact they all had their own thoughts.

Ever since the Qin family moved into the Rongguo Duke's mansion, they have regarded themselves as the masters, and even used the palace's sedan chair outside, as if they were afraid that others would not know that they occupied the property of the mansion.

However, Huo Ren relied on his brother's meritorious service to obtain a good position in the court. In addition, the Qin family was good at socializing, so there were still many people in the capital who interacted with them.

But some people can't stand it, and some people can't stand it. The Huang family in the south of the city is one of them. So when Mrs. Huang saw Huo Jiuge, she immediately praised her and said, "I thought that the daughter of the Yushi family was already talented and beautiful." Yes, but I didn’t expect that the eldest lady of Rongguo Duke’s mansion would be even better!”

Her words not only offended Mrs. Qin, but also diverted everyone's attention to Huo Jiuge.

Everyone was waiting to see Huo Jiuge's reaction. If she answered poorly, they would slap Mrs. Huang in the face; if she answered too well, she would offend Mrs. Qin. In short, it was a dilemma.

The next second, the girl bent her eyes towards her and showed a crescent-like smile. She said, "Mrs. Huang is ridiculous. Jiu Ge has lived in Jinling for a long time. How can he be as smart as my cousin who has been taught by famous teachers since he was a child?" Woolen cloth?"

In order to train Huo Qingshang, Mrs. Qin did not care about the cost. In order for her to practice the piano in the winter without freezing her hands, the charcoal fire in Wangshu courtyard was never cut off, and the charcoal was still burned with expensive charcoal.

This kind of charcoal is in the shape of a strip, about a foot long, green all over, and as hard as iron. It burns brightly but without flames. A strip of charcoal can burn for several days. The heat is overwhelming. Everyone calls this "Rui charcoal". .

Huo Qingshang had to burn someone else's family's annual consumption in winter, which was extremely extravagant, and all such expenditures were recorded in the accounting room of Cong Rongguo's mansion.

Qin listened to what the two of them said and added: "It's the mountains and rivers of Jinling that support people. I remember that Jiu Ge didn't like to show up in front of people before, but now he can take the initiative to talk to people. It's really that half of the shadow of before is gone." .”

Huo Jiuge looked at the hypocritical face of the other party and said politely to her: "No matter how good the mountains and rivers are in Jinling, I have to leave my aunt to take care of you for so many years."

As soon as she said this, she not only solved the problem easily, but also left a generous and decent impression in front of everyone. If it were anyone else, she would have told the truth long ago.

Huo Jiuge wouldn't do this. She wanted everyone to see the Qin family's tiger and wolf heart with their own eyes.

"I wish you could do it tomorrow, lest someone bite the tongue of our Huo family behind our backs." Mrs. Qin said as she glanced at Mrs. Huang just now, as if she was hinting at something.

Before the other party could speak, Qin forcefully ended the conversation. She took Huo Jiuge's hand and began to introduce the ladies present to her.

"Now that you have returned to the capital, you should not stay in the courtyard for too long, but also go out and walk around more so that everyone can get to know you." Mrs. Qin ordered.

After she said this, she gave Huo Qingshang a look and asked her to go down and prepare things.

Everyone praised her for her good education. Not only did she raise her daughter so well, but Huo Jiuge also became different under her care.

Mrs. Qin was talking about something, but she was already happy in her heart. Who doesn't like to be praised?Especially someone like Qin who loves to be in the limelight.

While everyone was talking and laughing, the girl Zhihua came up with a vermilion-lacquered wooden tray, brought the tea to the resting pavilion, and then called to them: "Madam, Miss, please have some tea." !”

Mrs. Qin immediately greeted everyone: "Drink some tea first to moisten your throat."

So everyone walked to the pavilion and picked up the teacups on the table.

"Why does this tea smell so good?" Montessori just picked up the teacup and before he drank it, he smelled the fragrant aroma.

After hearing this, the people on the side took a sip and agreed: "This tea not only smells good, but also tastes good when you drink it. It's really a top-quality tea." After saying that, he looked at Qin and said, "It's really the tea from the Duke of Rongguo." The stuff is good, I have never drunk such fragrant tea before!" Mrs. Qin waved her hand and said, "How can this be considered a good thing? It's just that Qing Shang learned tea art for a few days and then brewed it according to the book. That’s all.”

That's what she said, but the smile on her face was real

Tea art was originally regarded as an extremely elegant activity. It was very popular not only among the wealthy families in the palace, but also among the people in the market.

Huo Qingshang had obviously learned the tea art since she was a child, but Mrs. Qin said that she had only learned it recently, in order to bring glory to herself and Huo Qingshang's reputation as a talented woman.

Montessori was obviously very satisfied with the tea. He looked at Huo Qingshang with a warm smile: "It only took me a few days to learn such a skill. If I learn it well, wouldn't I be the best in the world!"

Montessori is the wife of the current prime minister and has two daughters and one son.

The eldest daughter Jiang Huaying married the eldest prince and became the princess; the eldest son Jiang Minsheng was a bachelor in the Imperial Academy; the youngest daughter Jiang Ruoyun was about the same age as Huo Qingshang. The two had a very good relationship and were close friends.

And Huo Qingshang is also the best choice for her daughter-in-law.

First, Huo Qingshang grew up with Jiang Ruoyun since they were young, and the two families knew each other well; second, she liked Huo Qingshang's reputation as a talented woman.

Huo Qingshang, who was used to being praised by others, did not show any joy, as if she was born to live in appreciation.

She said calmly, "Thank you, madam. Qing Shang studied for a period of time just because grandpa likes to drink tea. It is not as exaggerated as you said."

Mengshi was touched by her words. It turned out that she was not only famous as a talented woman, but also had a sincere filial piety.

"You are too humble, kid." Mrs. Meng liked Huo Qingshang more and more.

Others also echoed, Huo Qingshang smiled and said nothing. She glanced in the direction of Huo Jiuge and found that she was staring at something distracted, as if she didn't want to participate in this game.

"Sister Jiuge, do you think this tea tastes bad?" Huo Qingshang put Huo Jiuge on the forefront with one sentence. Everyone thinks that something is good. If she doesn't say it well, it will definitely make people think that she is. Huo Qingshang deliberately poured dirty water on her.

Huo Jiuge didn't explain, but just said to Mrs. Huang: "Madam, can you lend me your cup?"

Mrs. Huang nodded and handed her the empty cup. After Huo Jiuge took the cup, he looked at Huo Qingshang and asked, "Cousin, do you still have tea?"

Huo Jiuge's unconventional behavior aroused everyone's appetite. Everyone wanted to see what she wanted these things for.

After Huo Qingshang asked the maid to bring the tea leaves and hot water for her, Huo Jiuge first scalded the bottom of the bowl with hot water, then took out a small amount of tea leaves and put it in the bowl. After passing the water several times, he shook it and picked it up. The tea cup shook slightly, and after a few seconds, he opened the lid again.

After the heat dissipated, a lotus flower suddenly appeared at the bottom of the bowl.

This is the most difficult skill in tea art. Unexpectedly, Huo Jiuge has mastered such a skill at a young age.
