Chapter 43 Tea Art

Yan Huo instantly understood that Lu Xiuqun's intention to make tea was 90% instructed by the Princess of Qin. Since the previous dynasty, he had said that "marrying a wife should marry a daughter of the Lu family." The virtues and virtues of the daughter of the Lu family were praised by the world, and it was a role model for ladies to learn from. Princess Heyi's "rudeness" made Princess Qin unable to see it. Lu Xiuqun followed his mother to Beijing, which was just enough for Princess Heyi to learn.

The princess of Heyi laughed and said to him, "There is a hot spring egg here, which has a unique taste. Let's eat it at noon."

"Okay." Yan Hu and Yu Qingqing agreed.

Lu Xiuqun frowned slightly, "Miss Yu and Miss Yan can also learn together."

Not to mention that Yan Huo doesn't want to learn, she just wants to learn, but seeing Lu Xiu's expression is reluctant, she won't make this boring. "Thank you Miss Lu for your kindness. I'm rather stupid. I can't learn it, so I'll not bother Miss Lu."

Yu Qingqing quickly said, "I'm more stupid than her." She didn't even have to find a reason, but borrowed Yan Hu's name directly. Miss Yu Si, who felt very smart, smiled so hard that her eyes narrowed into a slit.

"I am the most stupid. Xiaoxiao is smarter than me. She can't learn it, and I can't learn it even more." Princess Heyi learned it and wanted to use this as an excuse to escape.

"No, no, no, the princess is too humble. The princess is very smart and learns everything very quickly. Right, Qingqing?" Yan Huo gave Yu Qingqing a wink.

Yu Qingqing nodded, "Yes, yes, the princess is very smart, very smart." I am not as good as a fellow Taoist, let alone the princess Qin wants Princess Heyi to learn tea art, which has nothing to do with them!

"No, no, I'm very stupid, I can't learn it." Princess Heyi was so anxious that how could these two people push her into the fire pit? It's so bad!

Yan Huo walked to her, patted her shoulder, and said, "The few obey the majority, just learn tea art from Miss Lu. I am in poor health and I am running around and dizzy. I have to go back to my room to rest and wait for lunch before coming over."

After saying that, he quickly walked towards the door.

"Xiaoxiao, I, I'll give you it." Yu Qingqing followed.

"Don't... go!" Princess Heyi stretched out his desperate little hand to their backs, but Yan Huo and Yu Qingqing left without looking back, and didn't even wait for the maid to lift the curtain for them, and did it by themselves, leaving so impatiently.

"Prince, please sit down." Lu Xiuqun was very satisfied with Yan Hu and Yu Qingqing's tact, "The body must be upright, the neck, chest, and waist must be kept straight..."

Princess Heyi, who was "abandoned", did it according to Lu Xiuqun's words with a resentful look on his face.

According to Lu Xiuqun's wishes, the maid brought in two new sets of tea sets.

"The first step in making tea is to clean your hands and use clean water." Lu Xiuqun demonstrated the hand washing action. "After cleaning your hands, wipe off the water stains with a white veil."

Princess Heyi did as she was mournful.

"The next thing is to burn the cup and warm pot. This pot is boiling boiling water. Use this boiling water to rinse the teacup and teapot once." Lu Xiuqun demonstrated, and Princess Heyi did as he did.

"The third step is that there is a elegant name called Ma Long Entering the Palace. Simply put, it is to put the tea leaves in the teapot." Lu Xiuqun's technique is quite beautiful.

Princess Heyi's movements were a bit clumsy.

"The fourth step is to wash the tea, pour boiling water into the pot with tea leaves, and then quickly pour the water out. This is to wash away the unclean things on the tea leaves." Lu Xiuqun explained very carefully, "The fifth step is to brew. We pour boiling water into the pot again. There is also a technique here, one, two, three. This is called 'Phoenix Nodding Three', which is to pay tribute to the guests."

Princess Heyi lit the water out of the pot at one o'clock. Lu Xiuqun smiled slightly and said, "The princess is only like this when she is a beginner. Practicing a few more times will make you feel better."

The princess of Heyi laughed. She was here to play, not to learn tea art. If she had known that her mother had planned like this, she would not agree to bring Lu Xiuqun to come no matter what she said. It was like a mother's mother dug a hole, and she felt that she jumped in. If the mother was the murderer, then Yan Huo and Yu Qingqing were accomplices! And she was the poor victim.

During lunch, the four of them gathered in the warm chalet again. Princess Heyi stared at the two of them fiercely and gritted her teeth and said, "You two bad guys, you have agreed to be together, but they didn't even talk about their loyalty at all, and just abandoned me. Are you worthy of me when you do this?"

Yan Hu and Yu Qingqing looked at each other and laughed in unison: "We would rather have good fortune. Okay, don't be angry. You can eat fruits and soak in the hot spring in the afternoon."

Princess Heyi thought it was quite beautiful, and turned angry and laughed, "Let's go together."

In the afternoon, the four of them went to the hot spring pool to take a bath, wearing various gauze clothes, with embroidered bellybands and underwear. Princess Heyi jumped down and splashed with water, "You jumped down quickly, this water is so comfortable. Come to the hot spring in winter, it is the greatest enjoyment in the world."

Yan Hu and the other two were not as rough as her. They held the pool wall and walked down the steps step by step. Yan Hu soaked in the water, sighed comfortably, and said: "Washing the hot spring water smoothly, the beauties should soak in the hot spring more, so that they can be more likable."

"Miss Yan." Lu Xiuqun shouted.

Yan Huo responded, turned his eyes to look at her, and saw that she had a serious expression, he was stunned. What's wrong?

"Miss Yan, women should be virtuous. How can they pay so much attention to appearance? A woman with virtue is beauty, and a woman without virtue is ugly." Lu Xiuqun scolded Yan Hu seriously.

Yan Huwan didn't expect that she would be criticized by Lu Xiuqun just by saying something casually, and she defended her: "Ms. Lu, how could I say that women only need appearance but no morality? Good appearance and good morality cannot be both? Miss Lu, you are too narrow-minded. A virtuous woman may not have bad appearance. A good-looking woman may not have bad morality. Miss Lu, please carry your ears when you go out and listen to people's words clearly."

"Xiaoxiao is right. If appearance is not important, there will be no such thing as a woman among the four lines of women." Yu Qingqing spoke out to support her friend.

Princess Heyi nodded and said, "My mother has said that women's virtues, women's words, women's appearance, and women's merits are equally important and indispensable."

Seeing the three of them united fronts, Lu Xiuqun was just a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl. She grew up with a lot of charm at home. She couldn't help feeling wronged, and her eyes flashed, "Miss Yan, I said that with kindness, not accusing you, I was afraid that you would go astray."

Yan Huo was a little angry. Lu Xiuqun was questioning her character, that is, accusing the Yan family of tutoring problems. This involves her alone. If this is said, what else can the Yan family girl have? She said in a deep voice: "Miss Lu's kindness, I respect Xie Bumin. My grandmother was born in the Duke of Pingguo Mansion and the mother was born in the Rong Mansion. They are all ladies from the great family. Her moral character is not inferior to anyone. Miss Lu is worried about my character."
