Painting Tang Jiao

Chapter 27 Liu Qixiu
"Mainly because I like two of them, one is the third grandson of Marquis Yong Yi, who is 17 years old this year, and he is about the same age as Qi Xiu." The old lady Liu said.

"Young and Yihou?" The old lady pointed up in a low voice: "But that one's natal family?"

Old lady Liu nodded.

The old lady flashed a hint of envy when she heard the sternness, this is not something that everyone can get in touch with.The two old ladies said that Yongyihou's mansion is the natal family of the current emperor Yuanhou, and the current Yongyihou is the father of Yuanhou.The Empress Yuan gave birth to the eldest son of the Holy Majesty, and was canonized as the prince from the moment he was born.

What is a prince?future rulers.

This is also the reason why the old lady is envious. No matter how powerful Uncle Ruyang's mansion is, it is only a title.

"Then there is another one?" the old lady asked again.

There must be a reason for the old lady to choose the person who was able to be selected by the grandson of Hou Yihou.

"He is the direct son of General You. There are two brothers and a younger sister in the family. The three children are all born to the wife of General You. The family is relatively simple. But the main thing is that the child fought with him a few years ago, and now he has a reputation. people."

The old lady knew where the problem was as soon as she heard it. People who fought in the war a few years ago and made great achievements are probably not young anymore.If it is fake, it is not uncommon.But it is absolutely impossible if it is the family of the right general. This right general is a well-known stubborn person in Daqi.

I'm afraid this reputation is real.

"How old are you? Why don't you have a family yet?"

"Twenty years old, I said I wanted to start a career before starting a family. I only started looking for it after I gained fame in the past two years."

The old lady nodded and said nothing.

No matter which of these two families she is envious of, but she also knows that with the ability of her family, she can be with Uncle Ruyang's house entirely because of the grace of saving her life.

"It's all suitable, take your time. Qixiu is capable, sister-in-law will enjoy the blessings in the future." The old lady laughed.

Mrs. Liu seemed to be enjoying the blessings as the old lady said, squinting her eyes and smiling: "You are the same, both of us can breathe a sigh of relief."

After the first lady of the third generation gets married, it will be good for the marriage of the subsequent children.

After leaving Mrs. Liu's yard, walking through the long corridor and facing the bluestone path for another incense stick of time.

Everyone stopped in a unique courtyard.

Qing Huan had to admit that this courtyard was incomparable to where any of the sisters lived.After all, it is the family of the Hou Mansion, the atmosphere passed down is different.

The small courtyard is chic and quiet, the courtyard is full of flowers, and several plum blossoms are planted in the corner.

"This is the Jade Butterfly Plum. It's not fully in bloom yet. When the weather gets colder, you'll see the color of the flower gradually turn from light red to white." A pleasant voice sounded.

Everyone looked and saw a girl who seemed to be wearing the petals of the jade butterfly plum on the tree standing under the verandah.

"Sister Liu." Several voices around me shouted one after another.

Looking at it this way, it seems that Qing Huan is the only one who has never met Liu Qixiu.

"You are the seventh sister of the Yan family, right?" Liu Qixiu smiled at the others, and kindly stepped forward to hold Qing Huan's hand.

"I just saw you staring at you, plum blossom, and seemed to like it?"

Qing Huan lowered her head, trying to withdraw her grasped hand.

On the contrary, Liu Qixiu took it as shyness, and said: "I also like plum blossoms, but the best ones in our mansion are not in my yard. It's in the garden, I don't know if you came here and saw them?"

The last sentence is to ask Mama Cai.

Cai's mother said: "It came directly from the Qingshi path."

Liu Qixiu said regretfully: "If you go another way and you can see the rockery, then there are a few green calyx plums planted nearby, which are green petals, and they are pretty. But they were transplanted from the south, and you need a special plant. If the gardener takes care of it, it will not be planted in my yard."

Gardeners are basically men, and Liu Qixiu's girl's yard is naturally not allowed for men to come in and out at will.If it got out, it would be bad for Liu Qixiu's reputation.

"Seventh Sister is from Yuhang, Sister Liu, let's go in and sit down. I want to drink the tea you made." The second girl said, she felt a little uncomfortable when Liu Qixiu kept pulling Qing Huan to talk.However, Mother Xia's teaching was still effective, but she cleverly changed the subject.

The others more or less had the same heart as the second girl, and echoed them out loud.

"Sister Liu, let's talk in the room. Seventh sister doesn't necessarily like that Lu'e plum." Compared with the second girl's words, the third girl's words are more direct.

Liu Qixiu was slightly surprised, but soon figured out the reason.Letting go of Qing Huan's hand, he said, "You guys came at the right time, so I can do this well."

"Mother Cai, please tell grandma, the younger sisters will stay with me and eat at the bar."

Mother Cai nodded: "That's what the old lady originally meant. The wind is still a bit strong today, and the girls don't need to go ahead to catch the cold."

Seeing this, Liu Qixiu nodded and sent Mama Cai out.

"It's just a woman? Why do you need Sister Liu to deliver it in person?" The third girl muttered.

Hearing this, Liu Qixiu looked at the girls in the Yan residence, although the second younger sister smiled and said nothing, but the disdain in her eyes could still be seen.As for the fourth and fifth younger sisters, one seemed to be interested in observing the flowers in the yard but didn't hear what the third girl said, while the other cast her adoring eyes on herself.

As for the youngest sister, Liu Qixiu saw that her gaze collided with hers, and she didn't dodge at all, instead she smiled at herself.

Involuntarily, Liu Qixiu hooked the corners of her lips, looking forward to today's meeting.

The layout of Liu Qixiu's room is the same as her appearance and dress, which makes people feel comfortable.

The pit bed was already warmed up, and a tea table was placed in the middle, and several girls sat around it.

"Sit down for a while, and I'll make you some tea."

Looking at the obviously happy expressions of the other sisters, Qing Huan was a little puzzled, and it seemed that there was a reason for this.The fourth girl sitting next to Qing Huan explained: "Sister Liu is best known for her skill in making tea besides her talents. Many people want to try it, but Sister Liu has only made tea for her family and sisters around her." .We only drank once, so I really miss it.”

Qing Huan suddenly realized, it turned out to be like this.It's just that for tea, Qing Huan has researched more scented teas. Firstly, they don't need much money, and secondly, they are used to pass the time.

I don't know how Sister Liu's tea art is, Qing Huan is faintly looking forward to being driven by others.

Liu Qixiu, who went back and forth, was followed by several servant girls.

Qing Huan looked at it and exclaimed, this is simply a whole tea set.Most of the boudoir fun in the capital is mainly Shuanglu throwing pots, and the more common one is female red embroidery.There are very few people who make tea like this, especially those who use a whole set of tea sets. After all, if you want to play well, you need not only talent, but also dedication and hard work.

It's hard to imagine that a lady from the Hou family like Liu Qixiu would love to write.

There are dozens of procedures for making tea with that set of tea sets.As far as simple tea sets are concerned, there are teapots, teacups, tea washers, tea trays, tea mats, water bowls, small red clay stoves, lupines, silver chopsticks, etc.

While making preparations, Liu Qixiu said with a smile: "I'm just playing around, and I'm not proficient, so I can only fool you guys. If it doesn't taste good, don't tell it in front of me, I'll be sad."

"Sister Liu is very skilled." Among the sisters, the second girl who has been here several times has the most say.

"I want to learn too." The second girl couldn't help but propped her neck to watch Liu Qixiu make tea.

Just look at Liu Qixiu's index finger fluttering, constantly changing the tea set in his hand, the movements are fast and beautiful.After a while, you can smell the faint fragrance of tea.

"Could it be that you want to learn and make tea for my second brother-in-law." Liu Qixiu curled her lips and asked with a smile.

The second girl blushed all of a sudden, knowing that it was one thing for her to leave the cabinet, but she still couldn't help being embarrassed when she was teased face to face.

Normally, in the Yan Mansion, almost no one would say that in front of the second girl.

Only Liu Qixiu, who is old and a young lady of the Hou family, can say that.

"Second sister is embarrassing." Liu Qixiu pretended to be regretful and said, "Originally I prepared to add makeup, but it seems that no one wants it. That's all, I'm just stuffing it back into the warehouse."

"Sister Liu." The second girl's face was red, and her earlobes were as red as blood that was about to drip.

The aroma of tea became stronger and stronger, Liu Qixiu took it away when she saw it was good and didn't continue to joke, brought the first cup of tea to the second girl, and said in a warm voice: "Is it the elder sister, the second younger sister forgives the elder sister after drinking this cup of tea."

The second girl was just shy at the moment, so she simply took the teacup, and she didn't think it was too hot to drink it.

Qing Huan hurriedly said: "Second sister, be careful of getting burned."

"That's not right, you warm your hands first." Liu Qixiu poured a cup for everyone in order of their youngest.

Holding the cup, Qing Huan noticed that there were lines on the surface of the teacup. When she nodded and looked closely, she found that it was plum blossoms.

"Seventh Sister has really nice eyes." Liu Qixiu saw it and said with a smile, "Many things around me are patterned with plum blossoms."

Qing Huan nodded, she had noticed that there was a picture of Hanxue plum blossom painted on a screen in the corner.

"I also love plum blossoms, but compared with Sister Liu, it's really nothing." The fourth girl also said with a smile while holding the cup, "I occasionally embroider plum blossom patterns on handkerchiefs and the skirts of some skirts."

Hearing what Miss Si said, not only Liu Qixiu but everyone noticed that the hem of Miss Si's skirt today was indeed embroidered with plum blossoms.

"What a coincidence."

The fourth girl pondered over the real meaning of the word "different Liu Qixiu", when she looked over, she saw a smile on her face, revealing an innate temperament in her whole body.

It's just that the fourth girl can't tell how to describe this temperament.

Liu Qixiu was the first of the fourth girl to feel that she was different from her when she was born. If she had the idea of ​​comparing her, she would immediately feel ashamed.

　strangeness. .I clearly played Chapter 28 at the time. How could it become two chapters and repeat Chapter 27?
