Chapter 646

Zheng Yao on the side was very happy to hear that, and said with a smile: "Mother Wang is really interesting, and it's not your son, but you are very protective of your shortcomings."

When Mother Wang heard this, she just smiled and said, "Who doesn't like a smart baby, don't I protect the girl like this?"

Zheng Yao pursed her lips and smiled, rather coquettishly.

After a while, Zhao Caifeng saw that the two tea-making girls hadn't come yet, so she went to the kitchen to take a look, but saw the two girls were embarrassingly facing some tea pipes!The two were in a dilemma for a long time, and the young Ruyi held her chin and said, "Otherwise, let's make tea in the blue jar. Every time grandma makes tea, she brews the tea in the blue jar for uncle to drink. Grandma likes uncle so much, she must give him something to drink."

The other girl, who was a little older, also had no idea. Hearing what she said, she nodded and said: "Then let's brew the ones in the blue jar."

Zhao Caifeng saw that they had an idea, so she went back with a smile, saw Zheng Yao and said: "The little girl at home just bought it, she doesn't understand anything, so I will just do it around, girl, please forgive me. "

As soon as Zhao Caifeng finished speaking, the two little maids over there brought in a cup of tea each.Zhao Caifeng offered the tea to Zheng Yao herself, and said with a smile, "This is the Ming and Qing Longjing tea from last year, and this year's new tea hasn't come out yet, girl, drink and see."

Zheng Yao took a look at the tea color, but it was emerald green and crystal clear. She was used to drinking good tea at home, and felt that the tea was almost the same, so she lowered her head and took a sip, then raised her head after drinking, only nodded and said: "It is indeed good tea. "Zheng Yao has always been good at observing words and demeanor, and now she has started to learn how to manage general affairs and prepare for leaving the cabinet. Naturally, she knows that the annual rent of Zhao Caifeng's house is only about two hundred miles. People who love tea, I am afraid that this tea is also given by others.

Zhao Caifeng then smiled and said: "I don't know if it's good or bad, it was brought back by my husband when he came back from the academy, I saw that the jar was pretty good, I drank it myself twice, it was really good, it must have been given to him by some rich man. "

Seeing that Zhao Caifeng brought out such good tea to treat guests, Zheng Yao said politely: "The shopkeeper Zhao is just being polite. In fact, I drink the same kind of tea, and I can't taste good or bad." Zheng Yao said, and took another sip , After all, I feel that the taste of this tea is somewhat familiar, and I don't know when I drank it, I can't remember it for a while.

The two chatted for a long time, Zheng Yao didn't hide it, she just said: "I saw that the wedding dress you ordered for Grandma Xiao yesterday was really beautiful, so I thought to myself, it's something that only happens once in this life, naturally It’s good to satisfy yourself, so I begged my mother and thought of ordering one from you.”

When Zhao Caifeng heard the words, she congratulated her first, and then asked: "Is the girl's date fixed? To be honest, this makeup is too much work. If the date is too close, I'm afraid I won't be able to make it out."

Over there, Madam Wang smiled and said, "No hurry, no hurry, it's early, there's still half a year left!"

It turned out that the third young master of the second room of Prince Gong's Mansion and Song Mingxuan took the exam together, but unfortunately the result was the same as Zheng Yu's, and they didn't pass the exam.This year happened to be the third year, and the second wife of the palace was also in a hurry. She couldn't delay the marriage just because of the imperial examination, so she went to the Yongchang Marquis Mansion to propose a marriage. , If you still fail the exam, donate an official to do it first, and then take the exam slowly.

The descendants of princes and dukes always have a much lighter burden than the humble scholars.

Zhao Caifeng saw that it was still more than half a year, so she agreed and said: "The relationship is good, so I will take this business, but the thing is really not cheap, and the deposit, I am afraid it will be more expensive."

After hearing this, Zheng Yao only smiled and said, "Don't worry about this, I will ask Mama Wang to bring it here tomorrow."

Zhao Caifeng and Zheng Yao discussed and decided, so they invited Zheng Yao to the study, the two discussed the style of the wedding dress, and roughly determined the patterns on it.The contrasting color of the cuffs is the pattern of twining peony flowers. I chose a purple base, inlaid with silver and green gold, and weaved a pattern of seven-color phoenix from left to right. The skirt below is only made of bright red. A girdle with auspicious cloud pattern is added in the middle, which is beautiful and not cumbersome.

After the two discussed it, they went back to the living room. At this time, the little maid had already refilled tea. Zheng Yao just said that she was a little thirsty, so she just took another sip of the tea cup and said: " Is this tea tribute tea?"

The so-called tribute tea refers to the tea leaves that the local government paid tribute to the palace, which is generally not available to ordinary people, unless it is rewarded by the palace.But how many of the things that are rewarded in the palace dare to take them out and give them away casually?They are all kept at home for their own food.Zheng Yao only recollected the tea fragrance just now, then frowned and continued: "This should be the Mingqian Longjing tea that was promoted last year. I heard that the Longjing tea was lost last year, and the tribute to the palace was only about ten catties. Your Majesty I can't bear to drink it myself, my father was favored, got a catty, and gave it to the ancestors, and I only drank it a few times at the ancestors' side."
