What kind of bad thoughts can my husband have?

Chapter 70 Serving Tea

Waking up early in the morning, the sun had already risen high. Lin Zhao calculated the time, jumped up from the bed, poked his probe, and shouted to the outside: "Awn seed! Vernal equinox!"

"Hey!"

There were stumbling footsteps outside, the door was opened, and the spring equinox came in. She was wearing a small dark red skirt, her body was plump, and her double buns were replaced with flower buns. My young lady!"

Lin Zhao hurriedly lifted the quilt and looked down for his shoes: "What time is it?"

"At two o'clock."

Chun Equinox walked in and saw her like this, so she knew that she had misremembered the time and thought she got up late, so she helped her get the embroidered shoes and said with a smile: "It's still early, Dongjuntai hasn't woken up yet, that's the master The residence of the old lady and the old lady is the main house of Hengwu Courtyard, don't forget the lady.

Hearing this, Lin Zhao breathed a sigh of relief and decided to go to bed. There was no reason for the newlyweds to go back to sleep the next day, so he hurriedly called people in, and after dressing up, he went to greet his father-in-law and mother-in-law with tea.

Mangzhong brought in a water basin and brought in three maids, all of whom looked fourteen or five years old, and said that Xue Dao had instructed him to come in to serve them when he left. Knowing that Lin Zhao liked to use solar terms to name them, he set them all up.

Autumn equinox, cold dew, light snow.

Chun Equinox is very satisfied with these few solar terms that are behind him.

How could Lin Zhao take care of them? After getting acquainted with them, he asked them to take care of them in the yard, but Han Lu said with a smile: "Young madam doesn't know, the yard you live in is not here."

Lin Zhao was taken aback: "Not here?"

"In the east courtyard, there is a floating building on the water that the young master specially asked to repair two months ago. It is called Tinglan Water Pavilion. The money is flowing out like water. The repair is beautiful."

"A floating building on the water?"

Chun Equinox stared: "Live on the water?"

"Sister misunderstood." Han Lu smiled, "Young Madam will find out when she goes to see it. The Eldest Young Master has spent a lot of thought on it, and every plant and tree is done by himself."

Lin Zhao nodded, and several maids waited on her to change her clothes in an orderly manner. After she got married, she could no longer wear the playful bun in her boudoir. For Baozhu, Mangzhong took a set of cross-collar skirts of the same color for her to wear. The fabric was thin, cool but not revealing, as if layers of clouds were piled up around her body, and it was very valuable at first glance.

Qiufen said: "It's decent and generous, Madam looks really good in this."

"The young master asked someone to make these clothes." Xiaoxue said with a smile, "The eldest young master has prepared a lot, and I guarantee that Madam Zhun will not repeat the same clothes every day."

"He... has a heart."

Lin Zhao's mouth was a little awkward, he didn't know how to address Xue Dao, after a simple description, he took the spring equinox to Dongjuntai, but Xue's father went to the court one step earlier, Cao Guanshi hurried out from the West Room, this man is long A pair of extremely small eyes, it can be said that Lin Zhao grew up to be the smallest person he has ever seen.

His hooked nose and mustache are still moving on his thin lips.

Chun Equinox frowned slightly, this man looked so disgusting.

"The young lady is here."

Cao Guanshi's voice matched his appearance very well, he was thin like a woman, bowed and said: "When the master left, he said that it would not be too late for the new wife's tea to come back, and the young lady doesn't have to care about these dead rules. , he didn't have a good meal this morning, so why don't you serve tea to the old lady first, young lady."

Lin Zhao nodded, and asked again, "Is the mother-in-law not inside?"

Guanshi Cao shook his head: "The old lady is in the ancestral hall." He called a servant in the courtyard, "Take the young lady to the ancestral hall." Then he introduced, "This is Si'er, who also serves the master."

Lin Zhao thanked him, and Si'er took him to the ancestral hall. It took a quarter of an hour to walk all the way. Lin's father once said that he didn't know what Zhongming Dingshi's home was until he entered Xue's mansion. It is several times bigger than Lin's house, even if a giant like Chun Equinox walks away, his legs are weak.

"Young lady, the old lady is inside."

Si'er said.

Hearing someone talking inside, Li Su opened the door and came out, and when she saw it, she told Si'er to go down, and told Chun Equinox to wait outside, and invited Lin Zhao in, and then closed the door.

Xue's ancestral hall is also much larger than his own. There are hundreds of ancestral tablets in each line, burning candles circle around, and the sun shines in from the window, which doesn't feel choking.

Mrs. Xue was kneeling with her back facing her, clasped her hands, and was chanting scriptures.

Lin Zhao tactfully did not bother, saw a tea table on the side with a complete set of tea sets, so he walked over and knelt down, pulled his skirt aside, and started to boil tea like flowing water.

Hearing the gurgling sound of boiling on the small stove, Li Su couldn't help but be amazed that the new daughter-in-law is not very old, but she is very skilled in making tea, without a single unnecessary movement, and when the teacup is tipped over, no water will leak.

Lin Zhao's expression was calm. When her mother was in her boudoir, she loved cooking tea the most. She passed on all her good skills to herself without any concealment. Today, the tea leaves are like Xiangjun's tears. The tea is crisp and crisp, and the heat is the most important when cooking. , the time should not be too long, and there are strict requirements on the method and frequency of changing the water. It is similar to the hibiscus drunk that my mother likes to drink, and she is good at it.

About two quarters of an hour later, the tea is left to dry until it is seven minutes hot, which is the time when the aroma is the clearest and most mellow, and it is the most suitable time to drink.

Lin Zhao straightened her back and looked at Mrs. Xue, who just finished reciting the last line of the Diamond Sutra, and she said softly, "Mother-in-law, please have some tea."

Mrs. Xue opened her eyes when she heard the words, put the Buddhist beads in her hand on the altar, stood up with support, turned around, her face was indifferent, her eyes were as quiet as an ancient well, and said: "The time is just right."

Lin Zhao smiled lightly, and wanted to come out and kowtow to her, but Mrs. Xue said: "No need, if you kowtow, I will be one year older, so I will do as you please."

Lin Zhao was stunned when he said this, and watched Li Su open the door, someone brought in a food table, removed the tea table in front of him, and left only the cup of Xiangjun weeping just now.

Lin Zhaodao: "Is the mother-in-law asking for a meal at the ancestral hall?"

"Yes."

Mrs. Xue sat down cross-legged, and said: "These dead people don't need to eat, we have to eat." She beckoned Li Su to serve the dishes, and said, "I'm used to being a vegetarian, if you don't like it, let someone make some meat dishes and bring them over. "

"It's okay."

Lin Zhao was a little embarrassed, he didn't expect this mother-in-law to speak in such a tone.

"That's right, you didn't eat anything yesterday, and you didn't have any food in your stomach. It's better to eat lightly." Mrs. Xue gestured with her chopsticks, and said, "Don't look, do you want to eat with your eyes?"

Lin Zhao couldn't hold back, let out a laugh, and quickly pressed his lips together.

Mrs. Xue didn't care, the two of them ate Chaoshi leisurely, sipped tea, their eyes lit up, and they were full of approval in their hearts, the tea made by Li Su was much better, and they looked back at that person.

Li Su pursed her lips and nodded with a smile. She had watched it just now, and she was completely convinced by Lin Zhao's plan of making tea.

"Good craftsmanship, your mother taught you?" Mrs. Xue asked.

Lin Zhao looked up: "Mother knows?"

"When your mother was in her boudoir, she was famous for her tea-cooking skills." Mrs. Xue pointed at her hand with her chopsticks, "It's the same as your good calligraphy."

Lin Zhao nodded.

"Speaking of Linghe body."

Mrs. Xue put down her chopsticks, held the cup of tea and sipped it carefully, and suddenly said: "What's the matter with the fake copy of Ling He Xian Yuan?"
