Chapter 13 Chicken feathers all over the place
"Don't be afraid, just be generous and generous. It won't be nothing. I'm here to learn. What I'm most afraid of is that I only know a little about it and think I'm right."
Yun Yinling sighed knowingly.
"Chu Xue has memorized it and must study hard."
"Let's go, we're at Mei Mansion."
The carriage stopped and Yun Yinling was about to get off the carriage. Yun Chuxue got there first and reached out to help Yun Yinling.
At the entrance of the house, the eldest lady of the Mei family personally led several girls to greet him.
This is everyone's rule. The Mei family has a higher status than the Yun family, but today Yun Yinling is the gentleman invited by the family, so you should respect him as he should.
"I've met Mr. Yun," several ladies from the Mei family took the lead in saluting.
After bowing to Yun Yinling, he squatted slightly towards Yun Chuxue and the others.
Yun Chuxue followed Yun Chuqin and the others to salute Mrs. Mei and return the gifts of several ladies from the Mei family.
"Mr. Yun, please come in quickly. The old lady personally ordered the Xiyuan in the house to be cleaned up yesterday. It is the most quiet place and suitable for classes, but it is a little far away. Please come with me."
Mrs. Mei looked at Yun Chuxue as she walked. The other two had met yesterday, and this concubine was here for the first time today.
She felt that she had a better impression than the two legitimate daughters of the Yun family.
Although the salute was not that standard, she was very serious. After entering the house, she didn't look sideways, didn't look around, and didn't say much. Although she was a concubine, she didn't have the air of a little family.
No wonder Mr. Yun is willing to teach her.
Xiyuan is at the far west end of Mei Mansion. Yun Chuqin and the others didn't understand it yet. They only thought that Xiyuan had a beautiful scenery and elegant furnishings. They also thought that Mei Mansion was so kind and polite.
Only Yun Yinling felt ashamed. This was obviously...
Xiyuan is indeed quiet, but it is not to prevent others from disturbing them, but to prevent them from being disturbed by the two eldest members of the Yun family.
No wonder the Mei family was on guard against others. She had already asked them to go back and tidy up again. As a result, they changed into plainer clothes and lost three or two pieces of jewelry.
"Mr. Yun, let them serve tea to you first."
This was also the rule. Yun Yinling did not refuse and accepted the tea from several ladies of the Mei family.
The three young ladies of the Mei family, one from each house, are all legitimate daughters. The second daughter, Mei Fangfei, is the eldest daughter, the fourth daughter, Mei Fangting, is the third daughter, and the fifth daughter, Mei Fangqiong, is the second daughter, the eldest daughter above them.
The legitimate daughter was also married, and the third lady did not come because she was a concubine. There were several other ladies behind her.
"Mr. Yun, then I will not disturb your teaching. If there is anything wrong with these children, sir, just follow the rules. Refreshments have been prepared here. Please help yourself, sir and Miss Yun."
At first glance, the eldest lady seems to be someone who works quickly, and everything in Xiyuan is well arranged.
"Send it to the eldest lady!"
"Sir, please stay."
The eldest lady left, leaving behind several young ladies from the Mei family and Yun Chuxue and the others. Yun Chuqin and Yun Chuqi immediately became active and took the initiative to get close to Mei Fangfei and the others.
The three young ladies from the Mei family obviously wanted to avoid them, so Yun Yinling immediately interrupted them to save them from embarrassment.
"Today, we will learn the tea ceremony. Miss Mei Er, please demonstrate it."
"yes!"
Six tea tables have been prepared, and Yun Yinling asked Mei Fangfei to demonstrate first.
The corner of Yun Chuqin's mouth moved as if she was eager to give it a try. When she saw the tea ceremony displayed by Mei Fangfei, her face looked a little ugly.
I am somewhat self-aware and can see that I am not on the same level as the other person.
Mei Fangfei's movements were smooth and smooth. After the tea ceremony, the table was clean and neat.
Every movement seemed to be a kind of enjoyment. After the tea ceremony, she stood up and gave a courtesy to Yun Yinling for comment.
The three young ladies of the Mei family also learned at the last moment that they had to learn the rules from Mr. Yun. In fact, they had already learned these rules. They asked the old grandmother from Prince An's Mansion to teach them the most standard rules and etiquette, and they had learned them since they were young.
Yes, they suddenly said that they had invited a gentleman. They didn't know why for a while, but they had heard of this Mr. Yun.
But I’ve only heard of it!
"Next, I'll demonstrate again."
"The tea-making ceremony is a daily etiquette. The tea ceremony not only shows respect for guests and friends, but also reflects one's own self-cultivation. We in Dayong have always had the custom of entertaining guests with tea, and have formed corresponding tea-drinking etiquette.
For example, when inviting guests to drink tea, you should put the teacup on the tray and serve it with both hands. The teacup should be placed in front of the guest's right hand. When talking and drinking, you should add water to the guest in time. The guest should be good at "taste"
"Sip in small sips, filling your mouth with fragrance, rather than drinking like a cow. Smell the tea, warm the pot, fill the tea, pour water, and refill the water. At first glance, it seems relatively simple, but in fact, it has its own particularities. Take a closer look.
."
Yun Yinling did not comment, but directly demonstrated. Miss Mei's tea ceremony was already very skillful. She was a little picky, but there may not be room for icing on the cake, because this second miss knew tea.
Etiquette, so there is no need to say it. After reading it once, you will know where the points that can be improved are.
"...When pouring water, you should hold it between the little finger and ring finger of your left hand...hold the cup handle with your thumb, index finger and middle finger, lift the teacup from the table, move your legs forward and back, and pour the water sideways into the cup..."
Everyone just watched the tea ceremony of the eldest daughter of the Mei family, which was very pleasing to the eye. Now watching Yun Yingling's tea ceremony, they just feel it is a kind of enjoyment.
After a tea ceremony, every move is casual yet elegant.
"Thank you sir for your teaching, Fangfei will definitely remember it."
Yun Yinling didn't say anything after her demonstration, but Mei Fangfei understood her intention and stepped forward to bow.
Yun Chuqin and the others, on the other hand, were confused. Auntie obviously didn't say anything. What should the eldest daughter of the Mei family keep in mind?
"Do you understand?"
"I see!"
The other two ladies from the Mei family also knelt down and saluted. Looking at Yun Yingling again, they were obviously more respectful than before.
Therefore, this person's face is mostly earned by himself.
"what about you?"
Seeing that her three nieces didn't hum, Yun Yinling asked lightly.
"See...I understand."
The three of them also replied.
"First chess, tell me, what did you see?"
Yun Chuqi's face turned red, her eyes were a little wandering, and she cursed in her heart, did her aunt deliberately make her look embarrassed in front of Miss Mei? Huh, she could see it when she was at home, her aunt was partial, and she even said that she was outside
There is both glory and loss, and now I want to make a fool of her, as if she has lost the glory of her aunt.
"The movements of the tea ceremony must be standard, done in one go, and focused..."
Yun Chuqi could only say it bravely. The nanny who taught her the tea ceremony before said so. She couldn't be wrong. Without saying a word, her aunt asked them if they understood. Isn't it just a tea ceremony?
It's not like she doesn't know those moves, so there's nothing she can't understand.
Yun Yinling immediately shook her head and sighed softly, "Sit down and practice. Remember, you must understand the meaning and not just follow the form."
The gap is too big!
"Sir, please ask Sixth Sister and the others so that I can learn from them."
Yun Chuqi couldn't stand it after being criticized, but he was unwilling to drag Yun Chuxue into the water.
Chapter completed!
