The carriage stopped slowly. Hu Ling was the first to lift the curtain and jump out. He turned around and gave Lu Jiuniang a hand.
Xu Nuo was the last one to get out of the car. He was supported by Chuntang and slowly got out of the car with a ladylike appearance.
When Hu Ling saw it, he couldn't help but whisper: "I want you to have your good ability to switch freely, so that my mother won't worry about me getting into trouble after I get married."
"How can I switch freely? I have always been a standard lady." The corners of Xu Nuo's mouth curled up slightly, and a smile rippled in his eyes.
"Come on, you have the nerve to call yourself a lady when you have the audacity to say such things?" Hu Ling retorted in a very small voice, with a smile that could not be concealed.
Lu Jiuniang pursed her lips and smiled, with a sincere and bright smile on her face.
The three of them were led into the flower hall by the maid.
There were already many people inside when they entered, and Xu Nuo noticed at a glance that the Lord Jiaren County was not sitting on the top seat, but was sitting on the second seat, talking to the people in the seat obediently.
Lord Jiaren County was usually either indifferent or arrogant, and rarely showed such an attitude.
Those who don’t know better think that the Lord of Jiaren County is a little cotton-padded jacket.
Xu Nuo couldn't help but take another look at the person sitting there, and saw that this person looked like he was in his early twenties, with handsome features and a calm expression on his face. He was not disturbed by the excitement in the banquet at all.
This person was dressed gorgeously, and Xu Nuo determined that she was from the royal family.
The emperor had very few heirs at that time, and he did not have such an old daughter.
This person can only be the daughter of the late emperor or another prince.
Xu Nuo reasoned like this and looked at Lu Jiuniang out of the corner of her eye.
Lu Jiuniang turned to her side and told her softly: "Princess Sui."
Xu Nuo nodded, indicating that he understood.
The eldest princess of the Sui Dynasty was the daughter of Emperor Taizong of the Song Dynasty. The record of her in the "Song Book" is: "It was difficult to deal with when she was young, and she never left the house. Emperor Taizong tried to find a treasure. He ordered the daughters to pick it up to observe his ambition. The Lord alone takes nothing.”
The eldest princess of the Sui Dynasty had a quiet temperament and did not like to play around since she was a child, but she was deeply loved by Emperor Taizong. Of course, the emperor also loved this young sister very much and would leave her a share of everything good.
She seldom went out to attend banquets. This time it was Prince Ning who posted the message himself.
Although she attended few banquets. But they are all of great weight, and the women she has praised have all gotten good marriages.
It can be said that she knows people well, or it can be said that she brings good luck to those ladies.
anyway. She is a very popular person when people in the capital hold banquets.
That's why Lord Jiaren County showed such a flattering and flattering attitude.
When the Lord of Jiaren County saw Xu Nuo and others coming in, he immediately turned around and said to the eldest princess of Sui: "Aunt, look, this is Liu Niang of the Xu family. You love tea most, and today you have met someone who understands you." Tea man."
The promise made before the Cuju competition was made in front of many people, refuting the face of Jiaren County Lord and not ordering tea.
Lord Jiaren County didn't seem to take it to heart. But this time, he told the story of the day in front of the eldest princess of the Sui Dynasty early, and his words infinitely belittled the promise.
When Jiaren County Lord said this, he promised Hu Ling, Lu Jiuniang and the others to bow down and salute: "I have met the eldest princess. I have met the county Lord..."
They had discussed the congratulations later, but now they just recited them again.
The three of them said together. It seems very sincere.
After the ceremony, a maid presented the birthday gifts brought by the three of them.
County Lord Jiaren glanced at the gift meaningfully, swept his eyes across the three of them, paused on Lu Jiuniang's hair for a moment, and asked with a smile: "Hu Sanniang is here too, what a rare visitor."
The two of them have never attended the same banquet together since the Cuju Club had a falling out a few years ago. Today can be said to be the first time.
"I missed the birthdays of Lord Jiaren and Ji, how can I miss the sixteenth birthday again?"
Hu Ling really didn't want to see someone like County Master Jiaren who was not two-faced, nor did she want to see her hypocrisy and tricks.
If it weren't for what the bastard did to Lu Jiuniang, she would never have come to the birthday of Lord Jiaren County.
"I heard that Madam Xu Liu studied under Madam Ye from Suzhou?"
The eldest princess of Sui Kingdom has been sitting quietly. Sometimes when asked by Lord Jiaren County, she would be anxious to answer a few words, but now she took the initiative to ask someone!
The head of Jiaren County was overjoyed when he heard this. Although she was not familiar with this aunt, she was her aunt after all. After hearing her words, she immediately looked at Xu Liuniang's face.
Even if Xu Liuniang gained the attention of the queen, if she displeased her aunt, she would still be unable to hold her head high in the circle of noble ladies in the capital.
She was overjoyed and thought that inviting her aunt was the right choice, but she didn't show any signs of it on her face and looked at Xu Nuo with a faint smile.
Xu Nuo had already sat down with Hu Ling and others, but now he stood up again, bowed and bowed before replying: "In response to the eldest princess, I learned the tea ceremony from Madam Ye for half a year from February to October last year."
The lecture was about tea ceremony rather than tea art, which obviously means that she is a disciple who has inherited the inheritance of Mrs. Ye.
Sure enough, the eldest princess of the Sui Kingdom became interested after hearing this. She sat up a little straighter and asked, "Where does the "Tea Classic" talk about?"
The eldest princess of the Sui Kingdom was famous for her quiet temper and not liking to talk too much. She was rarely like this today, so many people during the dinner were paying attention to the conversation between the two.
She had read all the contents of "The Book of Tea" before time travel, and later studied it with Mrs. Ye. She also had the "Tea Records" written by Cai Xiang not long after, and the "Daguan Tea Treatise" compiled by Song Huizong. understood.
Although her tea ordering skills are not as good as those of the Ye family or some experienced tea drinkers, she has a fairly deep understanding of the theoretical knowledge of tea, so she is not afraid of others asking.
There was a little bit of confidence in her clear eyes, but she didn't appear arrogant.
Every expression is captured just right.
"My son likes the tea ceremony, so he is more serious when learning it. He has studied the entire "Tea Classic"."
After coming to Bianjing, she met many people who were interested in her identity as Madam Ye's disciple, but she rarely met people like Princess Sui who really asked her because they were interested in tea.
"Would you like to discuss something with me?" The eldest princess of the Sui Kingdom showed a smile on her face.
She had heard the promise from Lord Jiaren County before, and she thought she was a arrogant little lady, but she turned out to be so calm and majestic, without the arrogance mentioned by Lord Jiaren County.
Xu Nuo's gestures and gestures are grand, and there is a hint of elegance and casualness. Her etiquette is no worse than that of Lu Jiuniang, the most standard noble lady. She has the aura that a tea drinker should have, so in just a few words, she sounds like someone from the Sui Dynasty. The princess gained favor here.
"Of course I am willing, but..." Xu Nuo was interrupted by Princess Sui before she could finish her words.
"Jiaren told me that you learned from Mrs. Ye and can't spread it to others, so just let me go and talk about it elsewhere."
As the eldest princess of the Sui Kingdom spoke, she handed her hand to the maid aside, obviously asking the maid to help her leave.
The originally "smiling and charming" County Lord Jiaren couldn't sit still. She told her aunt that those things meant that Xu Liuniang was bullying the weak and afraid of the strong, and asked her aunt to give Xu Liuniang some looks. It would be best to make Xu Liuniang unable to get off the stage.
Why not only did the aunt not do what she expected, but she also thought so highly of Xu Liuniang that she actually wanted to discuss the tea ceremony with Xu Liuniang alone? (To be continued)
