57. Fairy Jingyi's Tea
Although Zhou Xuan knew that Lin Hanyun's guarantee was uncountable, it was right to think about it. With Lin Heishan coming forward, it should be fine for his father-in-law to be released from prison. Don't lose so much if his father-in-law is released from prison. The "Super Qiu Zhantang" is gone. That's depressing, and he said, "It depends on the situation tomorrow. It's not far anyway, so you can rush over at any time."
Zhou Xuan instructed Lin Hanyun to send someone to notify Lin Heishan as soon as he came back. Lin Hanyun said, "I understand, you are such a big deal."
"A big deal!" Zhou Xuan glared at him and said, "You are so light. As soon as my father-in-law was imprisoned, all the servants in the mansion ran away. Now they are deserted and miserable!"
Lin Hanyun said: "Okay, OK, I remember, you get out of here."
Zhou Xuan rode on the old horse and was about to go back when a maid from the Protectorate's Mansion hurried out and said, "Miss Second Miss Jingyi asked the Second Miss to invite Mr. Zhou Xuanzhou to come in and have a tea."
Lin Hanyun murmured, "It's strange, how did my sister know that Zhou Xuan is coming? Could it be that my sister can really count on her fingers? Well, a few days ago, I saw my sister watching Yuan Tiangang's "Liu Ren Lesson" and learning divination--" raise her voice: "Hey, Zhou Xuan, come in and meet my aunt."
Zhou Xuan was very interested in the mysterious Miss Lin who claimed to be poor, but now he didn't have the intention and refused, "No, let's go another day."
"Ah!" Lin Hanyun's two delicate eyebrows stood up: "Zhou Xuan, you are really ignorant. My sister's tea ceremony is a masterpiece in Jiangzhou. Not everyone can taste it. Even my father needs to be careful when he wants to drink it. My sister appreciates you being able to write lyrics and compose music, so she asked you to taste it. Who do you think you are? You are a flower, are you very fragrant? Humph, I told my sister to go, but someone actually rejected her invitation-"
Zhou Xuan didn't expect that Lin Hanyun's reaction was so extreme, but her sister was really a fairy girl who became an immortal after drinking her tea? However, Miss Lin cannot offend her. Judging from Lin Hanyun's attitude, you can tell that this female Taoist sister is very important in her mind, and she may also have a high status in the Protectorate's Mansion.
Zhou Xuan quickly said, "I refused, I think it's getting late now, and I want to have a vegetarian food and bathe another day before savoring Miss Lin's tea. This is called respecting the tea ceremony. Do you understand?"
"Forget it," Lin Hanyun said, "You are still eating vegetarian food and bathing. Just be honest with me later. My sister is not as kind as me. If you dare to talk nonsense, then you can beat it with sticks."
Zhou Xuan stopped moving: "Then I won't go. It's not like to go to court to taste tea. What's the point of being careful?"
Seeing that Zhou Xuan was a little angry, Lin Hanyun softened and said, "Stingy, you're joking with you, let's go." Asking the sergeant to the old horse, she took Zhou Xuan's hand and walked in.
The little maid was slightly surprised when she saw the second lady holding the young man's hand casually, and quickly turned around and led the way in front.
This is Zhou Xuan's second visit to the Protectorate Mansion, or when he entered the last door. Zhou Xuan had a great memory and could record hundreds of chess scores. He would never forget the way he walked. However, this Protectorate Mansion is really big, with the corridors of the Quyuan, the water pavilion of the Songtai, and the light and darkness at night, which seemed very different from what he saw last time. If he hadn't followed Lin Hanyun, Zhou Xuan would have lost his way.
Along the way, I could hear the music everywhere, the sound of drinking, guessing a play, and chess pieces, which made Zhou Xuan suspect that this was not the Protectorate Palace, but the amusement park.
Lin Hanyun said: "These are all Qinggus raised by my father. In ancient times, didn't Mengchangjun have three thousand diners? There are not three thousand in our Protectorate's Mansion, and there are hundreds of them. They are all capable, fighting insects and cocks, fighting wine and tea, playing music, playing music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and anyway, they all play. Hehe, Zhou Xuan, just come to the Protectorate's Mansion to be a Qinggus, play with me, and play with my sister."
Zhou Xuan heard Lin Hanyun's last words and felt a sudden "sudden" in his heart. Looking at Miss Lin Er, who was in a green hat, couldn't hide her beauty, and thought to himself: "What are you playing with your sisters? It seems that female Taoists in the Tang Dynasty are more slutty, such as Xue Tao and Yu Xuanji, who are all in the name of practicing Taoism. Could this Miss Lin also be a Fengliu female crown--"
Zhou Xuan quickly used the idea of "father-in-law still suffering in prison" to drive away the evil thoughts and thoughts in his mind, corrected his clothes and followed Lin Hanyun into the inner courtyard.
The inner courtyard and the outer courtyard are separated by a high wall of seven meters high and decorated with grinding bricks. There is a hexagonal moon gate in each corner. Zhou Xuan entered the moon gate on the left last time, and this time it is on the right.
Walking through a corridor surrounding the small pond and rockery, I came to a quiet courtyard with a plaque at the gate, which was engraved with four seal characters "Jiunan Mountain House".
Two maids with good looks and tall figures came up and led Lin Hanyun and Zhou Xuan to an elegant room. But they saw a bright window and a clean table with elegant layout. The wooden cabinet on the side of the west wall displays exquisite pots, bowls, and cups, different colors and crystal clear. Two small rectangular tables of black and red sandalwood, one on the left and right.
The maid whispered: "Please sit down."
Lin Hanyun took off her shoes, stepped on her clogs and walked in and knelt down to the ebony short table on the left, took off her servant's hat, pulled out her jade swallow's hair, shook her head, and her hair was dripping off, turning from a lively little servant to a beautiful girl.
Zhou Xuan also took off the pair of leather shoes that he had traveled through thousands of years with him and prepared to sit behind the coffee table on the right.
I saw a maid raising her nose slightly, then frowned and whispered: "Young Master Zhou, let me take you to wash your feet first."
Zhou Xuan was pretty skinny, and then turned red and said, "I've walked a lot today, and I used to be fragrant."
Lin Hanyun sneered and said, "Stirsty feet, hurry up and wash them."
The maid led Zhou Xuan to an ear room and said, "Afen, Xiaorong, prepare water to wash your feet for Mr. Zhou."
The basin is a cedar basin with gold traces, and the water is a syrup of scrub spring water sprinkled with five-color petals, with a burst of fragrance.
Zhou Xuan sat on a backrest chair without him doing anything at all. Two beautiful maids with fallen horse buns washed and wiped his feet. Zhou Xuantui couldn't refuse, so he had to experience the corruption and luxury of high-ranking officials and nobles.
Zhou Xuan put on large wooden clogs, and returned to the tea room under the guidance of the previous maid Xiuya. After sitting cross-legged on the ebony tea table on the right, he was three meters away from Lin Hanyun.
Zhou Xuan looked at the elegant tea room, separated by the inner room by a crystal curtain, and a faint tea fragrance floated out from it. It was probably Miss Lin who was cooking tea inside.
The tea room was quiet and quiet. The two maids stood behind Zhou Xuan and Lin Hanyun respectively with their eyebrows down, making no sound. Only the sound of gurgling water at the rockery was faintly heard outside the long wooden window.
Lin Hanyun usually kept talking nonstop, but at this time she couldn't say a word, and just blinked her eyes and made a face at Zhou Xuan.
I heard a wonderful female voice behind the crystal curtain say: "Jianyue, Mingfeng, bring the tea to Mr. Zhou to taste it."
The two maids, who were originally as quiet as sculptures, suddenly became vivid and walked into the crystal curtain lightly. After a while, they each carried a red sandalwood tea tray with a unique shape like a large inkstone. On the tea tray were there, there were Yixing purple clay pots, Fujian black bowls, and a ray of tea scent on the raised mouth of the purple clay pot.
Jianyue and Mingfeng’s two maids’ tea-filled cups are very good, and they are obviously well-trained.
