Datang first village

Chapter 231 Talking about Tea

Cui Yingying's exclamation made Du Yiye very surprised. When he saw Cui Yingying reaching out to grab him, Du Yiye hurriedly stepped back a few steps. The person in front of him was the future Princess Qin, and any contact was a felony.

Du Yiye only had fear in his heart.

Cui Yingying was blocked by the maid, and a steward of the Cui family was about to ask, but Cui Yingying said loudly: "Go quickly, I want to see His Royal Highness King Qin!" After going out, does she still want to marry into Prince Qin's mansion?

Since the person in front of him is an official of King Qin's mansion, he should just meet King Qin directly.

Cui Yingying wants to see her, and is it related to Du Yiye?Li Yuanxing came to the small living room with doubts. After Cui Yingying saluted, before Li Yuanxing sat down, she handed a piece of jade that she had been wearing around her neck to Li Yuanxing with both hands.

"The official of Prince Qin's mansion also has one!" Cui Yingying said directly.

"Ask Du Yiye to come here!" After Li Yuanxing ordered, he picked up the jade pendant and looked at it, and said to Cui Yingying, "This is half a piece. If the other one matches, what does it mean?"

"We are the eldest son and grandson of the Qinghe Cui family!" Cui Yingying had already regained her composure, and answered in a very orderly manner.

Li Yuanxing was really embarrassed.

No matter what the Cui family's story is, it doesn't matter whether it is reasonable or not.

The important thing is whether this Du Yiye should be reused or not.If it is not reused, it will embarrass Qinghe Cui.If it is reused, he is from the Cui family of Qinghe, and he is also the eldest son and grandson, such a complicated identity.With his status, Cui Yingying's power will soon be greatly increased in the Qin Palace.

This is tantamount to destroying the balance of the Seventh Family in Qin Palace.

Du Yiye came over quickly, and at Li Yuanxing's request, he took off the jade pendant he had worn since he was a child, and handed it to Li Yuanxing.Each of these two jade pendants is a fish, and together they are the Taoist Taiji diagram.

"Okay, don't ask any more questions about this matter. This is a matter between Mrs. Du and Mrs. Cui."

Seeing the two jade pendants put together in Li Yuanxing's hands, Cui Yingying glanced sideways at Du Yiye, but Du Yiye was dumbfounded.He is just a descendant of the Du family, and he is considered to be a commoner.But his own jade pendant has become a pair with Cui Yingying, the daughter of the Cui family. What does this mean?

He didn't know, and he couldn't figure it out.

"Du Yiye!" Li Yuanxing spoke, and Du Yiye hurriedly saluted: "Your Highness, please give me instructions!"

"No matter what happens, you are still you. Whether you want to repay your kindness or revenge, you are still you. There are many things today. If you have the heart to do it, just continue to do what you should do. If you don't have the heart, my king Allow your leave. This matter is up to the king, you can go down!"

After Li Yuanxing gave his orders, the confusion in Du Yiye's eyes disappeared: "Your Highness, go down and continue working!"

"Go!"

After Du Yiye left, Li Yuanxing said to Cui Yingying: "The two jade pendants must have a long and distant story. No matter what Du Yiye's last surname is, the Cui family is a rich family, and the Du Ling Du family is also a noble family. Although Du Yiye is just a side branch, But how about letting the elders of the two clans deal with matters related to the two clans?"

"Your Highness is in charge of everything!" Cui Yingying obediently got up and saluted.

Li Yuanxing signaled the maid to invite Cui Dunli to come.In fact, Cui Shuli had already arrived outside the door, even if His Royal Highness King Qin didn't call him, he still planned to come over to ask about the situation.

The two jade pendants were handed over to Cui Shuli, although the jade pendants were the same, they were easy to distinguish.

Cui Yingying's piece is woven with green silk thread and gold thread, while Du Yiye's is just an ordinary silver chain.

After Li Yuanxing made his meaning and attitude clear, Cui Shuli said: "Your Highness is wise, this matter should be handled by the two clans themselves. Why don't the ministers send someone to formally notify the two clans, whether it is coming to Qin Wangzhuang or in the Chang'an City is determined by the two clans themselves, and the Qin Palace only needs to make a forensic test!"

"It's exactly what I want!" Li Yuanxing said slowly.

Cui Shuli said again: "His Royal Highness, there is one more matter. It is the incident of the weapon fight in the workshop area last night. I think this kind of thing will happen again. I think that there should be a letter to clarify what happened last night. Not right."

Cui Shuli's proposal was really good, he considered the issue from the perspective of Prince Qin's residence, not from his status as a nobleman, but unfortunately he thought things too simply.

"Just wait and see, there will definitely be changes within three days!"

"Your servant listens to the order!" Cui Shuli withdrew after saluting, he heard the word Jing-Guan, but he couldn't figure out how such a trivial matter could be magnified, unless someone was secretly playing tricks.

After Cui Shuli withdrew, Li Yuanxing looked at the maid beside him, and then looked again.This action made the maid very nervous, and Cui Yingying also felt inexplicable.Li Yuanxing pressed his forehead: "I forgot, what's your name?"

Cui Yingying almost burst out laughing.

This maid has a gold hairpin on her head, and she is wearing a light blue dress, a white jacket, and a dark green belt.Nobile, green, and three-color clothing, this is the dress of first-class maids. Ordinary maids, especially lower-class maids, are not allowed to wear green, and only one main color can be worn on their clothes.

Li Yuanxing didn't even know the name of the first-class maid beside him.

The maid leaned back and responded, "The maid's name is Yuan Chun!"

"Yuanchun, what a good name. Yuanchun, take Miss Cui." Li Yuanxing ordered.

Although Cui Yingying didn't understand, she followed Yuan Chun out of Li Yuanxing's small living room, and entered the back hall of the main hall through the back door, which was separated from the front hall by a wall.

Lu Qiuyu and the other six girls had already arrived, sitting around a round table with refreshments on the table.

The maids stood behind their respective masters, while the seven stewards who were proficient in business sat on the row of chairs by the wall. Each of them had a small table next to them, and there were also simple refreshments on the table. There is a screen separating Zhunqin Wangfei.

Here, there are three first-class maids in the Qin Palace, namely Yuan Chun, Lan Qiu, and Dong Su.

As first-class maids, they have seats, and there is a square table just below the round table of the seven women.

Cui Yingying said hello to the six girls, and after they greeted each other, they just sat down when they heard the voices of hundreds of people in the main hall shouting: "His Royal Highness Qin Wang is well!"

Li Yuanxing walked towards the main seat with big strides, and said: "Today I call everyone here, and I want to have a chat with you all over tea!"

"I'll wait to listen to His Highness's instruction!" There was another neat voice.

Talking about tea, Cui Yingying and the six girls looked at each other. They all remembered that they used to be in the tea house where King Qin made fairy tea.

"What is tea?" Li Yuanxing's opening sentence seemed simple, but it made the whole hall completely quiet.

The six girls among the seven girls sitting in the back hall eating snacks all stopped, they were thinking, but Zheng Xiuyan suddenly said at this moment: "Tea, tea is for eating!"

The other six girls stared at Zheng Xiuyan with six different eyes.

There is sympathy, contempt, ridicule, helplessness, concern, and surprise.

The surprised expression was Li Liyuan from the Li family in Longxi, because she wanted to be like Zheng Xiuyan, tea is something to eat.If one more item is added, this can be sold on the grassland and the value is not low.

She was surprised because the other five people had weird eyes.

"What is tea?" Seeing that no one answered, Li Yuanxing spoke again.

All those present were people who had been in tea business for decades, or even decades, but they didn't dare to answer. Firstly, they didn't want to be the first ones, and secondly, they didn't understand what His Royal Highness Qin's question meant.

So, no one responded.

Li Yuanxing had no choice but to continue to say: "Tea is a drink used by nobles in the Central Plains, but it is a necessity for life on the grasslands. Some people say that tea is medicine, and there is nothing wrong with this understanding. Therefore, what is tea? With 1000 people, there will be a thousand different understandings!"

Li Yuanxing's remark caused many people to nod.

Zheng Xiuyan nodded heavily, and stuffed the last piece of hazelnut chocolate on the table into her mouth, then turned her head to look at Yuan Chun, with the look in her eyes, "Hurry up and get some more snacks, otherwise I will be upset!"

Other snacks are easy to talk about, but this black one is extremely delicious, and it is only available in King Qin's study courtyard.

Yuan Chun is not qualified to go in there yet, let alone pick it up there.Helpless, I had no choice but to prepare some other snacks to make up for it.

On Li Yuanxing's side, he continued to preach: "Tea is the way in my heart!"

A word of Tao made everyone's hearts rise. Who is Li Yuanxing? This is the star king in the sky.

This time, even Zheng Xiuyan, who was so natural, pricked up her ears to hear what Li Yuanxing would say.

"Tea is the Tao, the tea ceremony! Wen cultivates the mind, martial arts cultivates the body, this is tea. It can be used to cultivate one's mind, and to comprehend the world!" After Li Yuanxing finished speaking, he stretched out his hand and clapped his palms three times.

Dozens of servants filed in, carrying long tables one after another, and laid them out in front of Li Yuanxing.

Fortunately, Li Yuanxing's reception hall is large enough, with more than a dozen long tables with a length of seven to eight feet.

Immediately afterwards, many maids held sterling silver trays with wooden boxes on them, and placed the trays on the long table one by one.

What appeared at the door again was a Han-style aristocratic dress, white with light green stripes, and a golden phoenix with three claws and four tails embroidered with gold thread.This is the pattern that Wu Zhao is qualified to use, because Wu Zhao is the Mingyue Princess who is the eldest princess.

Two first-class maids pulled the hem of the long skirt for Wu Zhao from behind.

Everyone got up, including Cui Shuli who was sitting next to Li Yuanxing, and Du Yiye who was sitting next to Li Yuanxing and was in charge of recording.

"Welcome Princess Mingyue!"

Wu Zhao's eyes were always slightly closed, and she silently read the tea ceremony etiquette that Li Lanshan had passed on to her in her heart.Although the two of them never recognized each other as friends, Li Lanshan still helped Wu Zhao at the critical moment. (To be continued.)
