Xu Gucheng was startled. Did Liu Niang want to get together with him?
"Can."
Although Xu Gucheng was extremely reluctant to participate in the tea-person competition, he could not let Xu Qian step into this black whirlpool alone and turn a blind eye. No matter what the purpose of her sudden appearance in the tea-person competition, he, as a father, had the responsibility. Protect her.
Xu Gucheng straightened his sleeves and stood up, ready to talk to Lu about this.
I don’t want my sleeves to be grabbed as soon as I stand up.
He looked down and saw Xu Nuo raising his head, smiling like a flower, and said to him, "Dad, I'll go."
Xu Nuo knew that her tea ceremony skills were insufficient, but she was also confident that she was better than Xu Qian. At least she would not lose as miserably as Xu Qian in the tea ceremony, which would ruin the reputation of the Xu family.
Xu Gucheng was worried that Xu Qian's participation in the competition would ruin Xu Qian's own reputation, but Xu Nuo was simply worried that Xu Qian would ruin the Xu family's reputation.
As for Xu Qian's reputation, she really didn't have the extra time to care about it.
More importantly, she won't worry about such a vicious person.
Xu Gucheng's eyes changed, and he nodded to indicate his promise.
Xu Nuo let go of Xu Gucheng's sleeves, stood up obediently, and saluted seriously: "My father told my daughter about the whole story of the tea man competition before, and my daughter didn't want to touch it at all. But now that the fourth sister has participated, the Xu family has also Since I am involved in this, I might as well let my daughter go, as my daughter is still somewhat confident in the tea ceremony."
"Liu Niang, tea ceremony is an elegant art. The tea ceremony competition in Bianjing has completely changed. Now that Si Niang is going alone, dad is very disappointed and doesn't want you to go too." Xu Gucheng looked at Xu Nuo gently and stroked his hand. Touching her shoulder, he motioned her to stay in the study.
His disappointment in Xu Qian had already existed since he came to Beijing last year, and now he was even more disappointed.
He never thought that the daughter he had raised for more than ten years would become like this.
He actually went to Beijing alone without telling his family, and went to participate in the competition that he repeatedly emphasized not to mess with.
His teachings to Siniang over the years have turned out like this. As a father, he has really neglected his duty!
Although Xu Nuo doesn't care about Xu Qian's reputation. But Xu Gucheng's reputation is very important to her.
When Xu Gucheng finished speaking, she hugged his arm and said coquettishly: "Dad, the fourth sister has gone, please let me go too. Go and see what is going on, let your daughter be willful for once, she will never It will bring a blemish on Xu Mansion’s reputation.”
Looking at Xu Nuo's expectant eyes, Xu Gucheng felt hesitant.
At this time, Lu's voice came from outside the study: "Master, I will accompany Liu Niang to the eldest princess' mansion, but you don't want to go."
Xu Gucheng turned his head, nodded after being silent for a moment, and then said: "Mother, in this case, you don't have to worry about it."
It's not that he doesn't understand the thoughts of his wife and daughter. Considering all the things, he can only wrong them first.
Then Xu Gucheng sent someone to the eldest princess's mansion to sign up, while Lu and Xu Nuo went to bathe and change clothes as quickly as possible.
Soon after, the two of them took a carriage and headed to the Princess's Mansion, bringing with them tea sets that would be used later and this year's new tea.
Lu has a red clover patch on her forehead. Wearing brown large sleeves and a light green underskirt, the underskirt is embroidered with a lotus pattern, which matches the lotus leaf pattern embroidered on the shoes. Her hair was only decorated with a pair of jade hairpins and an ivory comb, and there were only two small pearls hanging on her ears. The whole person was dressed up very elegantly, yet still dignified.
Lu's outfit was prepared early, and she would just wear it whenever there was a similar occasion.
Xu Nuo's wardrobe does not have such a clear classification. Her outfit today was all hastily put together by Chuntang just now.
She has a green flower patch on her forehead and wears a goose-yellow turban with a branch pattern. The moon-white eight-piece long dress, the hair ornaments on her head are simpler than Lu's, with only a wooden hairpin, and her ears and neck are clean. Wearing nothing.
Dressed like this, her facial features are more elegant, like a person stepping out of an ink painting.
When the two got off the carriage, someone came to receive them. They walked through the long verandah and arrived at the place where the tea fight was held.
This season is when the peach blossoms are at their peak. You can smell the aroma of peach blossoms all the way to the tea-fighting place, and now you step through this door. Then I saw a garden of peach blossoms.
The branches and leaves are staggered, the stamens are prosperous, and the fragrance is pleasant.
There are two rows of pear trees placed under the peach tree, and there are tea drinkers sitting behind the low table.
In front of the two rows of dining tables, there is only one large dining table with a tea tray filled with tea sets.
Next to it stands a Dengfeng kiln white-glazed green-colored pearl six-tube vase with flowers and flowers on the ground and entwined branches. There are several half-open peach blossoms in it.
When Xu Nuo came in and saw such a scene, her mind went back to when she had just traveled to Suzhou a year ago.
At that time, there were also peach blossoms and tea fights...
The Lord of Jiaren County was the tea judge. He was sitting next to Princess Sui. She saw Xu Nuo as soon as she came in.
Just as she was about to turn around and say something to the eldest princess, she heard the eldest princess of the Sui Kingdom saying to the nanny beside her: "Go and ask Mother Lu Qi to come over."
The expression on the Jiaren County Lord's face paused, then he suppressed the confusion on his face and sat upright again, his eyes falling on Xu Qian in the distance.
Xu Qian was sitting on the edge. When she saw Lu and Xu Nuo coming in, she sat upright.
Today she was wearing her usual favorite combination, a blue jacket and white skirt, with a set of gold hair and facial hair, which was prepared for her by the head of Jiaren County. She just chuckled secretly before accepting it, without rejecting it.
Mrs. Lu greeted the eldest princess of Sui with a promise.
"I have met the eldest princess."
"My son has met the eldest princess of the Sui Kingdom."
Princess Sui nodded slightly and said, "Liu Niang, since you want to have a tea fight, just go down to the table and wait. How about Mrs. Xu having tea with me?"
The first thing he asked was to invite Mr. Lu to be a tea taster.
When others heard this simple conversation, they were secretly surprised. The eldest princess of the Sui Kingdom was so close to Lu and Xu Liuniang?
How many people have begged to be a tea taster in this year's tea competition but were rejected by Princess Sui, but now she took the initiative to invite Lu!
And she actually called Xu Liu Niang Liu Niang directly. It was really surprising that she was so intimate.
Ignoring the looks of others, Lu agreed to sit down next to Princess Sui. Xu Nuo nodded obediently and stepped back to stand next to Xu Qian.
"Why are you here?" Xu Nuo looked forward, but Ban Hao's eyes did not fall on Xu Qian.
"Of course I have my purpose. Do you think I will marry Zhang Ziye obediently?" Xu Qian's voice was a bit sarcastic. She had already broken up with Xu Nuo and no longer needed to hide it.
"How do I know? Aren't you interested in having a concubine with Zhang's cousin Lang? How can you not accept it?" Xu Nuo looked at the tea man who was ordering tea not far away with a faint smile on his face.
The essence of the tea competition in Bianjing is also a tea competition. The difference from the tea competition in Suzhou is that the contestants do not compete together, but each person is arranged in order and performed in sequence. (To be continued.) xh211.
