Chapter 261 The Smell of Disgust
Song Tiantian's every movement was very quick, but she also tried her best to remain elegant. After all, this was a tea art performance for the children of the nobility, which required some real skills.
Song Tiantian had already asked the system to open the Beast Codex. She didn't know the taste of the Ninth Young Master, but that was not important. The taste of the Ninth Young Master's pet was recorded in great detail in the Beast Codex.
The Ninth Young Master's pet is the Red-Feathered Phoenix Crow, which likes to eat Wutong fruit.
Song Tiantian didn’t have any sycamore fruits, but there were sycamore leaves here.
She quickly used her spiritual power to extract the purest spiritual power from the sycamore leaves, and then mixed it into the tea leaves.
Song Tiantian hooked her fingertips on the edge of the celadon covered bowl, lifted her wrist slightly, and when she hung the pot high and poured water, the water flowed like silver threads hanging down.
The spring buds stretched out in the boiling water like emerald fish swimming around. Song Tiantian bent her index finger and gently tapped the wall of the teacup. The crisp sound startled the steaming tea mist. Her eyelashes drooped, as if she was listening to the sound of pine waves created by the collision of new leaves and white porcelain.
The Ninth Young Master watched this scene and narrowed his eyes, finding it quite interesting.
The temperament of this brew of tea is completely different from the previous one, one is in the sky and the other is on the ground.
Even the stench was not so obvious at this moment.
Beauty lies in the bones, not in the skin.
The Ninth Young Master suddenly remembered this sentence.
This old girl has been able to live this long, she must be quite capable.
The arc of the teapot's pouring water resembled the moon rising over the eastern hills, the amber-colored tea flowing through the cracked ice cup, bringing with it a wisp of agarwood mixed with moss after rain. The hand holding the cup suddenly paused in mid-air, and just as the cup was about to be opened, the index finger, curled like an orchid, suddenly trembled - the tea smoke condensed into droplets, winding down the mutton-fat jade bracelet on Song Tiantian's wrist, and falling into the dark rosewood tea tray, spreading the dark plum blossom.
The tea's aroma finally permeated the air. The top note was a cold plum blossom scent, infused with snowy water. The middle note, surprisingly, was the scent of the sycamore tree. One was the freezing cold of snow, the other the sycamore tree, capable of rebirth from the ashes. These two forces, according to common sense, should never collide.
But Song Tiantian was able to blend these two flavors perfectly.
When Song Tiantian handed over the teacup, the Ninth Young Master did not disdain it and chose to pick up the teacup.
The Ninth Young Master took a sip, and the tea was filled with a bit of the astringency of the green vines on the rock wall, but when it returned to sweetness in his throat, it turned into a mouthful of the clear sound of bamboo dew.
After Song Tiantian handed another cup to the Ninth Young Master's pet, she pushed the remaining leaves into the teacup. At the moment when the water ripples shattered the reflection, the lingering aroma of tea still lingered on the tea table, as if someone had cut off a corner of the mountain stream's clouds and locked it in this handful of white porcelain.
After doing all this, Song Tiantian bowed, then walked to Chunyue with her head lowered, helped Chunyue up, and stood beside her.
Because of this, the Ninth Young Master also noticed Chunyue.
Looking at Chunyue's helpless eyes from afar, it was like a piece of broken glass, shattered into countless crystal fragments, fragile and gorgeous.
It would be great if Song Tiantian was as pretty as Chunyue, but without the bad smell. That would be perfect.
But it's also good this way, and Chunyue and Song Tiantian are from the same place, so he can just talk to Chunyue and ask about Song Tiantian's background.
Song Tiantian's ability is extraordinary, if the other brothers knew about it.
He may not be able to stay.
But it would be different if Chunyue was there to protect me.
An idea quickly came to the Ninth Young Master's mind.
[This old girl is quite capable! ]
[The odor on her body is probably due to a special physical condition, probably a natural tea body. Actually, if you smell it carefully, it's not that bad. When it blends with the fragrance of the tea, it actually smells quite pleasant.]
Chiyu Huangwu lowered his head and drank all the tea leaves in the cup.
It usually likes to drink tea and is very picky about the taste of tea, but when it comes to Song Tiantian's tea, it can't find any thorns at all.
This girl actually knew to offer it a cup of tea on her own initiative. Normally, no one would offer it a cup of tea on their own initiative. It can be seen that Song Tiantian is a polite person. You can tell at a glance that she must be from an extraordinary family and have some knowledge.
"Master, this old girl isn't that old actually. It's good that she doesn't talk. I don't like girls who are too noisy and chatter all day long. But after looking at her for a long time, I found that she is not that ugly. Let's keep her. At least she is quite polite and knows how to greet me."
The Red Feathered Phoenix Crow usually doesn't talk.
But it spoke at this time and pleaded for Song Tiantian.
"Since Xiao Wu likes this old girl, then let her stay! Steward Wang, when the time comes, ask the palace doctor to prescribe some medicine to see if the stench on her body can be removed."
When Steward Wang saw the Ninth Young Master drink the tea brewed by Song Tiantian, he knew that Song Tiantian was safe.
As the Ninth Young Master spoke, he walked in front of Song Tiantian, but his eyes were looking at Chunyue. He gently lifted Chunyue's chin with his fingertips and asked Chunyue, "What's your name?"
"My name is Chunyue."
Chunyue said with some trembling. She was very scared at the moment. This was the first time she was beaten by Manager Wang, and in front of so many people. Her ribs were still aching.
"Chun Yue, what a beautiful name, it suits you very well. Not only do you have a face like the moon, but you also have a beautiful heart. You risked your life to plead for a mute girl from the same village. You are truly so kind. Are you willing to become my concubine?"
"Young Master!"
Chunyue raised her head and looked at the Ninth Master with tears in her eyes.
He was dressed in gorgeous clothes, his posture was as straight as a pine tree, and his gait was as smooth as the wind, as if he was a god walking out of an ancient scroll.
Haruzuki nodded excitedly.
She had never thought that she could become the young master's concubine.
"Okay, you will live in my yard from now on, and this mute girl will stay by your side and serve you."
"Why don't you thank the Ninth Young Master?"
Manager Wang reminded Chunyue from the side.
In fact, each young master has a quota for concubines. The Ninth Young Master actually only has one quota. He chose Chunyue before looking at other people. This is too much of a favor to Chunyue.
Especially the Ninth Young Master. If he was not favored, he would not choose a maid here even if he was favored.
Chunyue then hurriedly saluted the Ninth Young Master, and Song Tiantian had no choice but to follow suit.
This Li family is really outrageous. They even kowtow for thanks.
Did you think it was the emperor who conferred a title on his concubine?
Just a concubine.
But she finally saved her life.
Being Chunyue's maid is not bad. Chunyue is kind-hearted and just fought for her chance of survival.
The Ninth Young Master immediately hugged Chunyue in his arms, lay on the chair, and began to continue testing the tea art of these women.
Since Chunyue had been promoted to a concubine, she was naturally exempted from this exam.
The Ninth Young Master took a deep breath of Chunyue's scent, then looked at Song Tiantian who was following him with disdain.
He waved his hand, signaling Song Tiantian to stand further away, as the smell was bothering him.
