Concubine Raiders

The sixth lady of Qiao's family was stunned.

She didn't expect that the second lady would make flower tea like her

Xiang, the second wife of the Xu family, was born into a scholarly family. Her father was the No.1 scholar in the 30-year history of the founding of the family. She was a Bachelor of the Imperial Academy and the Imperial College's wine ceremony. She had a good reputation as a child, but the Xu family had failed to make matchmaking for three times. Later, Xiang's father met Xu Ling'an, a handsome and intelligent young man, and Bai Taifei did Baoshan. Then he agreed to the marriage.

Who knows, Xiang's marriage is only three years, Xu Ling'an died of illness.

"Second lady, is she OK?" Asked the eldest lady, with a dim look.

Too madam already can't hide sorrowful: "since an ER died, her heart is like plain, already did not come out to walk."

The sixth lady of the Qiao family could not bear it.

Mrs. Qiao turned her eyes and said with a smile, "then you should persuade her to come out and walk more. She was a wise person. Without a person to take care of, she couldn't help feeling sorry for the spring and autumn. If it wasn't for the third lady who brought out this cup of Osmanthus tea, I didn't expect it. My sixth sister is also very fond of making these things. Or, let's take this opportunity to see the second lady. First, let her have a lively and lively place. Second, let her meet with our sixth elder sister, and we will get along with each other. It's better if someone comes and goes. "

Mrs. Tai moved: "that's a good idea." Immediately get up, tea also did not drink, "we go to her to sit down." He called a servant girl named "winter embroidery" and said to the second lady, "my wife is here. Let's go and sit down with her."

Winter embroidery went away.

Three madams then orders nearby a call "Jin Rui" servant girl: "arrange a few green curtain small oil car to come."

Mrs. Tai shook her hand and said with a smile, "it's a rare fine day today. Let's take a walk and let the car pick up when we come back."

The third lady answered. The Party headed north and returned to Guangliang gate.

The woman who kept the door was busy meeting her and accompanied her into the door.

Facing a rockery made of white Taihu stone, several towering ancient trees are planted beside the mountain. Around the rockery, on the left is a mountain full of green trees, and on the right is a winding forest.

The third lady supported Mrs. Tai and led them into the woods. They walked along the stone paved path. However, after a cup of tea, they saw a green bamboo forest, which led to a small courtyard in the bamboo forest.

The stone steps in front of the courtyard have seven or eight steps. A woman in the bleached pigment face makeup, accompanied by winter embroidery and a fresh maid, is standing on the stone steps.

See them, winter embroider and that face fresh servant girl mixed that woman down the steps.

That woman should be the second wife of the Xu family

Eleven Niang thinks, not from Zhang Mu to look at that woman.

He looked only twenty-five or six years old. He was thin, fair skinned, with beautiful features. His eyes were calm and peaceful. When he walked slowly, he felt calm and calm.

"Yi Zhen!" Mrs. Tai is already smiling.

"Mother The second lady smiles and salutes Mrs. Tai, who is busy carrying her up. The eldest lady and Mrs. Qiao greet her one after another. They introduce granny Luo, Wu Niang, Shiniang and the sixth miss of Qiao's family to know her.

The second lady was very polite and said with a smile, "there's nothing good. Take these sandalwood beads to play with." The maidservant girl took a few carved red lacquered boxes to several people.

Several people took over the thanks, the second lady helped too madam up the steps: "you slow down! It's not easy for me to walk here. If you have anything to do with you, let me be called. "

She helped the other side.

"What can I do for you?" Too madam careful foot, "in laws wife came to Yanjing, we come here to sit down."

Followed by the respective servant girls helped up the steps.

Eleven Niang found that the steps were made of Taihu Lake stone with water lines, and a few grass branches appeared from time to time in the gap between the stone steps. After walking the steps, I saw the lintel, and the two words "Shaohua" were written on the signboard of Shanghai Tang. After entering the gate of the courtyard, there are green bamboos and thick mosses. Occasionally, the wind blows and the rustle makes a sound. It has a kind of ancient sense of deep mountain seclusion.

Entering the door, a small three rooms, black lacquer floor, white stone floor, hanging a picture of Guanyin picking flowers on the nave, hanging a couplet of purple black mud gold cloud dragon paper, "the dew in the bottle is often sprinkled, the poplar branch in the hand does not care about autumn". Black lacquer long case only put a few citron on sweet white porcelain plate. There is a black lacquer square table in front and a black lacquer chair on the left and right.

The second lady let Mrs. Tai and the eldest lady sit on the chair. A little maid brought out a rose chair with black lacquer from the inside to sit for Mrs. Qiao. Another servant girl brought a little black lacquer machine to other people. For a moment, the small hall was full of people.

Mrs. Tai called Miss Qiao to follow her and said to the second wife, "she heard that you had made osmanthus tea. If you want to meet me, she brought it."

Miss Qiao six hurried forward to salute the second lady: "I wrapped the tea with gauze at home and put it in the unopened lotus, but the fragrance is always light. There is no sweet scented osmanthus tea He was eager to ask for advice.

Mrs. Tai looked at the second lady with burning eyes.

"Make lotus tea!" The second lady's smile was faint, "it's better to choose the white lotus. When it's not opened in the morning, then tie it with hemp skin. The next morning, pick the flowers and dry the tea leaves. For three or four times, it will not take away the tea flavor, but also have the fragrance of lotus.""Ah Miss Qiao six opened her eyes wide, covered her mouth and sighed. She was so innocent that she said, "do you want to use white lotus?"

The second lady nodded: "the white lotus flower is more fragrant than the red lotus flower."

While they were talking, the maid had already served tea.

With the fragrance of Plum Blossom

Qiao's sixth miss has been full of surprise: "the lady also scented tea with plum blossom?"

The second lady said with a smile: "as long as you have fragrance, you can..." He said, looking out of the window, "the garden is full of flowers all the year round. It's easy to smell any kind of tea." Do not hear the taste of loneliness, but there is a kind of leisure.

Eleven Niang thought of the steps in front of her courtyard.

It's a little steep. It's like climbing a mountain. Ordinary people won't come up!

The sixth lady of the Qiao family has been asking the second lady for some tips on making flower tea, making snacks and making porridge. Eleven Niang felt that some exaggeration, some coquettish, some very reasonable.

The expression of two madams is gentle and polite, but with a little estrangement, too madam looks at the bottom of her eyes and flashes a glimmer of disappointment.

When Mrs. Qiao saw it, she immediately put forward to walk in the garden: "spring Jasmine next to Chunyan Pavilion should be blooming!"

The second lady listened and said with a smile, "it just opened yesterday!" He got up to accompany them to see jasmine.

Mrs. Tai took the second lady's hand out of Shaohua courtyard. She went through the path in the woods and went to the Yong road with wide blue stones. To the north, there was a zhangkuan river winding like a dragon. There was a gate Pavilion called Biyi on the river. After the gate Pavilion, is the East-West winding Qingshi corridor. They went eastward along the corridor, rippling on one side, steep mountains and jungles on the other, and the breeze on the cold side was facing them, which made people beautiful from the bottom of their hearts.

Eleven Niang's step is more and more slow, gradually falls behind the crowd.

A servant girl came to ask her: "the in laws miss is tired, do you want to rest in one side?"

Eleven Niang busy way: "not tired, not tired." But the pace is getting slower and slower.

Holly and amber were anxious to help her, but she refused to help her In case mother asks

The servant girl followed her with a low brow, and did not urge her.

It seems to be from the third lady's room But a warm-hearted

Eleven Niang thinks, one side toward amber made a wink, one side smile way: "elder sister how to call?"

"My name is Qiu Ling," she said with a smile

Amber "ah", said: "I have a sister and you with the word" autumn "

Qiu Ling chuckles. Eleven Niang has come to the front with holly.

Amber and Qiuling whispered, "this garden is so beautiful! It's said that Dingguo and Wei Beihou live next door

Qiu Ling nodded and said with a smile, "the Zheng family of Dingguo lives in front of us, and the Houlin family of Weibei live in the west of us."

Amber is very envious of the appearance: "then come and go, are not all Zanying heyday home?"

Qiu Ling nods with a smile.

"Do they, like us, visit each other from time to time?" Amber asked curiously.

"Of course." Qiu Ling said with a smile, "the eldest grandmother of the Lin family and our four wives are the best. Every once in a while, I will come to see the four ladies. "

Amber's eyes turned slightly: "does the Duke of Mao often come?"

Eleven Niang mouth slightly warped, led Holly catch up with five Niang.

Qiu Ling over there is already a Zheng: "how do you ask about that family?"

Amber quickly explained: "I heard people talk about Yanjing's powerful family. I mentioned your family and the government of Maoguo... "

"How can their family compare with ours?" Without waiting for amber to finish, Qiu Ling has already disdained, "although our family also lives on the shadow of our ancestors. However, our old Marquis was once a servant of the Ministry of rites. The Duke of his family managed to get a position as the master of Yuanma temple through his own family. However, he was not sure about the number of horses he was raising, so he was removed from his post... "

Amber has already revealed surprise: "relying on his family to seek a position? Who is the relative family of the Duke of Mao

"The late scholar of wenyuange, Jiang Jie?" Qiu Ling said with a smile.

"Jiang Jie?" Amber's eyes flickered. "I've never heard of it."

"Of course you haven't heard of it." Qiu Ling covered her mouth and laughed: "Mr. Jiang has been dead for more than ten years."

Amber said with a smile: "sister, tell me I used to work only at home, and I've never heard of it. " "My sister knows so much!" he said

Qiu Ling said with a smile, "I know a little about this because my wife likes to ask the master about these things."

Amber took the initiative to take Qiu Ling's arm: "good sister, tell me about it. I'll talk to our lady when I go back and let her listen to it. "

Qiu Ling only smiles.

"Good sister..." Amber begged her.

"It's not a secret." Qiu Ling said with a smile, "have you heard of the Jiang family in Le'an?"

Amber shakes her head.

"There were two imperial masters in their family..." Qiu Ling's voice gradually lowered, and their steps slowed down.They stood under a big tree and talked.
