Twin Brocade

Chapter 133 Making Tea
These errands are arranged uniformly by Jingchen every year, and it is the same this year.It's just that because of the addition of toffees, princesses, and servants who serve them, the scope of the night watch has increased.

Fire prevention in winter is a major issue, and Princess Jing'an is also very cooperative in this regard.

For Fang Jinshu, these busy schedules have nothing to do with her, she is just a visitor to Jingyi Nunnery.Suddenly, she became the most idle person in the entire nunnery.

Every day, I still get up early to practice martial arts, have morning and evening classes and chant sutras.

In such flowing days, her body and bones became healthier day by day, and she even learned a set of basic boxing techniques.When she looked in the mirror, she could see that her face had lost the baby fat and had become sharper, forming a delicate jaw line.

Because of his martial arts practice and his growing body, his height suddenly jumped up.The lines of the limbs are slender and strong, and the skin is firm and shiny.Compared with the fine skin and tender flesh that was pampered before, it has more healthy vitality.

As time went by, Fang Fei knew more and more characters, and having finished learning the Thousand-Character Prose, Fang Jinshu began to teach her to read "Enlightenment of the Rhythm".Every day after returning from Princess Jing'an, there are visible changes.

This day is a rare sunny day, and the warm winter sun shines on the world covered in silver.The sky was a beautiful blue, with wisps of white clouds hanging above the sky, changing shapes.

Princess Jing'an set out tea sets and snacks in the courtyard, and drank tea in the sun.

Several concubines received her invitation and arrived one after another.

They are hopeless in this life, even if they please this Princess Jing'an who can talk in front of Emperor Qinglong, they still can't get out of this nunnery.Therefore, everyone's attitude was respectful and calm, so that Princess Jing'an could get along with them without any pressure.

Fang Jinshu sat at her next tea table, holding a delicate white jade mill handle in his hand, slowly grinding the tea leaves.

In the Gaomang Dynasty, it was fashionable to make tea with sweet spring water. According to the different tea leaves, the water temperature and techniques are different.

But Princess Jing'an prefers to use the ancient method to cook tea, grinding the tea leaves into powder, and then adding different spices according to her preferences.After cooking together, use a fine mesh filter to remove the residue, and only use the boiled tea soup.

This method is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and if the ingredients are not well matched, the taste will be extremely weird, so few people in Gaomang have adopted it.

Fang Jinshu is well versed in this way. In her previous life, she spent countless efforts to gain the support of Princess Jing'an.Learning this ancient method of cooking tea is just one of them.

After staying in the nunnery for a long time, she took the opportunity to relearn and serve Princess Jing'an.

She focused on grinding the white jade in her hand, her long hair was coiled in a simple bun on the top of her head, and she secured it with a wooden hairpin.Two strands of forehead hair hang down from the sides of her face, her skin is like snow, and her eyes are as calm as water. Such a simple dress makes her appear pure and pure.

An old concubine said with a smile: "Jing'an will take care of it, but this girl from the Fang family looks different."

She was only ten years younger than the late emperor, and she was the woman who had been by the late emperor's side since Gao Mang was not established.But fate didn't treat her well, she was pregnant several times and finally didn't keep her, so she came to live here.Given her age and qualifications, it was very natural to call her Jing'an.

Looking at Fang Jinshu, whose movements were flowing like clouds and flowing water, Princess Jing'an smiled and said, "Master Jingrong's words are wrong. If it weren't for her good quality and beauty, it would be useless for me to take care of it no matter how good I am."

In the words, there is the love that Fang Jinshu can't hide.

Jinghe covered her mouth with her hands and let out a coquettish smile, and said, "Your Highness is too modest. If we hadn't seen it, I'm afraid we would have believed it." On such occasions, she deliberately kept a distance from Fang Jinshu.

Fang Jinshu listened to everyone's words, a thin layer of blush appeared on his face, as if he couldn't afford such praise.She knew it in her own mind, she was just using the name of Princess Jing'an to reveal all the abilities she had learned in her previous life without being obtrusive.

Hua Hao came in to report the ceremony, and said: "Your Highness, please be quiet and the teacher will be there later."

This was the first time that Princess Jing'an invited all the people from the palace to a banquet after she arrived at Jingyi Nunnery.Although the concubines don't need to curry favor with her, they also don't need to deliberately neglect her.With her powerful position, it is very easy to deal with their family members, it is really unnecessary.

Therefore, all the concubines arrived early, but there was nothing but silence.Princess Jing'an asked Huahao to invite her again, but she didn't expect that she would arrive later.

Princess Jing'an pursed her lips, her expression was not happy or angry.

But Fang Jinshu could see the displeasure in her heart from the downward movement of the corner of her mouth.There is no way, in the previous life, great efforts were made on Princess Jing'an.Judging her emotions has almost become instinctive.

Quiet this person, his behavior is really weird, which makes people puzzled.

The empress dowager has been like this all her life, but she is different.She had invited herself into the nunnery to practice cultivation, and if she wanted to return to vulgarity, she only had to hand over the booklet to Zongzheng Temple, and there was no reason to make things difficult for her.

Ordinarily, with her status, it is very different from Princess Jing'an.If they were both in the capital, it would be impossible for her to even meet Princess Jing'an, let alone receive her personal hospitality.

If you change someone else, why don't you rush to curry favor?

Even if you see through the world of mortals and become a monk with all your heart, there is no need to be so negligent.As long as you come, sit there quietly, wouldn't it be better than provoking Princess Jing'an's anger right now?
All the people in this nunnery are poor people, and no one has a sad past behind them.Would he still laugh at her?In the palace, everyone wants to pinch the tip, but here is a nunnery, even if it is pinched, so what.

Fang Jinshu was thinking this way, and he couldn't understand how to calm him down.But since she entered the nunnery, Jing Le often took care of her and cared for her silently.At this time, it was her turn to reciprocate.

She made the boiled tea water well and presented them one by one.

Princess Jing'an smelled the fragrance in the clear tea soup, and the unhappiness just now was diluted a bit.After taking a sip, he praised: "Little girl Shuyin, she is already out of blue!"

You should know that this method of making tea is because the skill of frying tea in ancient times was not perfect, so various spices were added to cover up the bitter taste in the tea.

At present, all the teas used to make tea are all kinds of high-quality green teas.In particular, what Princess Jing'an took out is the Huoshan yellow bud that is only available in the palace. You only need to soak it in sweet spring water, and the taste will leave your lips and teeth fragrant.

At this time, spices such as mint leaves, citrus, and ginger slices were added. Even if there is a ready-made recipe, if one is not good, it will ruin such a good tea.However, the tea Fang Jinshu brewed uses spices to stimulate the fragrance of yellow buds, making it refreshing for everyone.

All the concubines also praised her one after another, not only for the sake of Princess Jing'an, but also for the well-boiled tea.
