Chapter 22

The rest of the men walked to the front of the guqin, stretched out their hands and fiddled with it a few times, it was exactly the tune that Ruoxi played just now.

Ruoxi hurriedly left the bamboo forest with Lu'e, and heaved a sigh of relief when she returned to the room. Fortunately, no one noticed that she had gone out.In fact, it's okay to go out for a while, but I just met a strange man. If I was criticized by others, it would ruin my daughter's family's good reputation.In this era where women's reputation is more important than their lives, her behavior just now is really bad, and playing with a man is tantamount to flirting.

"Girl, fortunately Guiyuan is ill, otherwise..." Lue poured a cup of hot tea and handed it over.

Ruoxi understands her subtext, if Guiyuan is by her side for this matter, she will report it to the old lady if she fails to do so.Right now she has not gained a firm foothold in the Han family, and the old lady treats her well on the surface, but she is not.If she did something out of the ordinary, the old lady would not be the first to tolerate her!At that time, ignoring her would be a trivial matter, and if a blind or lame person was randomly picked and asked to be a concubine, she would not be able to cry.It seems that she still has to follow the rules in the future, who made her unable to control her own destiny right now.

Not long after, the old lady sent someone to ask her to go over to have a fast meal, and she hurried there with Lue.

Although the table is full of vegetarian dishes, they are all delicious in color, flavor and taste, which is probably beyond the reach of ordinary cooks.

"Brother Yu was afraid that the old lady would not be used to the vegetarian food in the temple, so he went to the kitchen to watch, wondering if it suits the old lady's appetite?" The second wife did not forget to say good things to her son at the dinner table.

The old lady nodded in satisfaction, only to realize that Brother Yu was not at the dinner table.The second wife replied with a smile: "Just now the third young master of the Lin family sent someone to invite Brother Yu, and he hurried over."

"The third young master of the Lin family? Is he also in the temple?" The old lady's eyes flashed when she heard this.This Lin Mansion is not an ordinary family. Right now, the old lady and the old lady are still alive, and the three of them live together, but they are the housekeepers of the eldest wife.The reason is very simple, the current emperor's favorite concubine, Defei, is the eldest daughter of the great lord, and she is a real relative of the emperor!

The ancestors of the Lin family paid homage to Dingbohou, the eldest master took over the official position, and the second master liked to study since he was a child.The third master practiced martial arts at a young age, joined the army and made military achievements when he was young, and now he is a fourth-rank rite.

This third young master is the eldest son of Erfang. He was born intelligent at the age of fifteen. He likes to recite poems, recite pianos and paint pictures for nothing. He has always claimed to be a romantic talent.The disciples of Lin's family and others tried different ways to make this young master happy, and wrote some poems he made on the fan, which spread to the outside world and gained a good reputation.

"The second and third young masters of Lin's mansion also came to the temple to offer incense. I just met brother Yu and dragged him to make friends with literature. Brother Yu couldn't shirk it, so he had to send a servant back to report." The second wife smiled. All squeezed together.

The old lady smiled and nodded, "The third young master of the Lin family is the same age as brother Yu, so it's good to walk around with each other."

After hearing this, Ruoxi quickly lowered her head to eat the rice, she secretly calculated in her heart that the person she met probably was the third young master of the Lin family.

After eating, everyone moved to the meditation room to have tea, but the old lady suddenly looked at Ruoxi and asked, "You have been studying the tea ceremony for a while, what do you know?"

"Where do you dare to profane the word research?" Ruoxi hurriedly replied, "However, under the guidance and influence of my grandmother, I dare to open my mouth to mention the word tea." After finishing speaking, she took a sip from the teacup, savoring it carefully stand up.

After a while, Fang put down his teacup and said with a smile: "Look at this slender and well-proportioned rope, with a bright yellow-green color, and look at this soup, which is golden in color and smells like sweet-scented osmanthus. It should be the golden osmanthus in oolong tea." After speaking, he looked at the old lady complexion.

Seeing the old lady's jaw, she continued: "This golden osmanthus is also called Qingming tea and Toutianxiang. It is made from the young shoots of tea trees, so it should be picked early. The fragrance is high and mellow, unique and elegant, so it is plain It is known as 'before tasting the sweetness, smell the heavenly fragrance first'."

"Look, after being trained by the old lady for a few days, Miss Nine has become an expert in tea." Grandma always speaks with quality, no matter how much she compliments anyone, she will never forget to flatter the old lady.

After hearing this, Ruoxi hurriedly said: "To the extent that I moved books by force, I have humiliated the famous teacher. If grandma doesn't blame Amitabha, I don't dare to expect to be in grandma's eyes."

"Although it sounds like an endorsement, it's hard for her to distinguish the types of tea. It seems that she has worked hard these days." The old lady praised with a smile: "I think when I asked your eighth sister to learn the tea ceremony, she was so pouty. gone to heaven."

"An inch is long and a ruler is short, what he is good at is playing the piano." Ruoying said coquettishly.

Ruoxi often hears her practicing the piano, she sounds fluent and proficient but pays too much attention to technique and ignores the emotion in the music, gorgeous but can't penetrate the depths of people's hearts.But at her young age, it is rare for her to have such attainments.

"That's right, who can be as proficient as the old lady?" The grandma said with a smile: "The third girl is good at chess, the seventh girl likes painting, the eighth girl can play the piano, and the tenth girl can read. The sixth girl has a rare gentle temper." Submissive, now I am a nine-year-old girl who has entered the tea ceremony, and the granddaughters of my ancestors are all good, no wonder they look down on me, a vulgar grandson and daughter-in-law!"

"Every time I praise someone, the third girl will keep talking a lot, and in the end she will go around to herself. If I have to praise her for a few words, I will not say it today!" The old lady said jokingly .

Seeing this, the eldest grandma put on a helpless look, "I was thinking carefully, but the old lady saw it right away."

Everyone laughed when they saw her playing tricks, and the third wife didn't know whether she was laughing or drinking tea with her lips pursed, and she couldn't see the content clearly with her eyes down.

A little girl came in from outside the door, saluted and replied: "Go back to the old lady, the fifth master sent someone to say that the third young master of the Lin family is coming to greet the old lady and ladies."

The old lady was taken aback when she heard the words, and then glanced at her granddaughters.The third girl took the lead to stand up and go behind the screen, Ruoxi quickly followed.

"Please come in quickly!" Seeing that the granddaughters had avoided her, the old lady hurriedly ordered the girl to invite someone.

After a while, Brother Yu walked in with a boy.Everyone's eyes were focused on him, only to see that he was dressed in white, with sword-shaped eyebrows and phoenix eyes, and a straight nose and thin lips.His clear eyes are so pure that there is no trace of distracting thoughts or vulgarity, and they are so gentle that they seem to be able to tolerate everything, just like the clear water of a lake rippling under the spring sun, one cannot help but immerse in it.What a handsome young man!

"Yihao pays respects to the old matriarch, and to all the wives and grandmas." He was polite and generous without any affectation.

When the old lady saw him, she asked him to sit down and talk, "The third young master is really well-mannered and a good-looking talent, and the rumors outside are not as good as me!"

"The old lady is absurd. Listening to brother Yu mentioning that the old lady is in the temple, the younger generation will naturally come to visit. As for the rumors outside, they are just rumors." He replied modestly, his eyes swept across the screen, and saw a touch of pink Immediately my heart moved.He remembered that the woman he met in the bamboo forest seemed to be wearing a long pink skirt under the cloak.
