Kang Yueran gave Chai Shijing more than a dozen purple clay teapots, and Chai Shijing gave them all to people he knew.
Chai Rong also had one. She asked, "Miss Kang, I think that purple clay teapot is not as beautiful as the teapot. What's so good about it?"
This involves the structure of purple clay teapots. "I can't explain it in detail. I only know that using a purple clay teapot to brew tea makes the tea more fragrant. And after using it for a while, you can still taste the tea flavor even without adding tea leaves, just by pouring water."
Princess Xuan chuckled twice and said, "Indeed, my prince loves tea. Ever since the sixth prince gave him a purple clay teapot, he has loved it."
Kang Yueran reminded: "Then the princess must tell the prince that one pot can only brew one kind of tea, otherwise the taste will be mixed."
"Old Six reminded him."
Princess Ning jokingly said, "Didn't I remind you? Sixth brother also sent my prince a teapot. Fifth brother came over that same night and gave my prince a set of tea sets. He said the purple clay teapot was dark and ugly, so he coaxed the teapot away."
Princess Xuan giggled.
Chai Shiyan and Chai Shibo get along well, and the two princesses also have a good relationship.
Song first looked at Mrs. Yu, thinking that the Yu family was the richest and they would definitely not be willing to let her take over the business of purple clay teapots.
Then he walked over and took Kang Yueran's hand, saying, "Yueran, why don't you open a soup restaurant? It's inconvenient for you in Anzhou, so we'll help you manage it."
Madam Lin felt very embarrassed and scolded in a low voice, "Come back!"
Under everyone's gaze, Kang Yueran didn't want to embarrass the Song family, so she resisted the urge to pull her hand back. "Making soup takes a lot of effort. It takes an hour or two to simmer, so it's easy for a soup restaurant to lose money."
Song winked at Kang Yueran and whispered, "I'll come find you tomorrow!"
Although her voice was low, Mrs. Lin still heard it, "You won't be free to come tomorrow!"
Song didn't dare to refute and gestured to Kang Yueran to speak for her.
Kang Yueran lowered her head and drank a sip of tea, pretending not to see it.
Nanny Wu came over and told Kang Yueran that everything was ready, and Kang Yueran gestured for her to serve the dishes.
Then he said to everyone, "Let's have dinner early, and after dinner, we can drink tea and listen to some new music from Hualilou."
There are few vegetables in winter, so this table of dishes is mainly pork and fish.
Nanny Wu walked over to Kang Yueran and whispered, "Prince Ning asked me to ask the young lady if she has any dried fish left."
Kang Yueran was stunned. "We prepared so much, and they've already eaten it?"
"All the male guests have gone to Chunyuan!" More people means more food.
"Go tell Chu Yun that I gave them advice to eat less. Come over after dinner. In addition to Xiao Taohong singing, there are new programs today."
Nanny Wu responded and went downstairs.
There are many rules in the capital, especially for women.
Chai Rong's eyes sparkled as he asked, "Is there a new play at the Huali Tower? What's it like?"
Kang Yueran covered her mouth and laughed for a while, then said, "It's a variety show, very funny!"
There was one thing she couldn't figure out: when these noble ladies from aristocratic families encountered something really funny, would they burst out laughing or would they try hard to hold it back?
After a while, a group of people led by Chai Shiyan entered the winter courtyard.
Kang Yueran had a screen placed on the second floor and invited Chai Shiyan and several important figures to go upstairs.
He Zhengchu was on the first floor with his classmates. Originally, some of his classmates wanted to bring their wives, but Chu Yun passed on the message that the princess and two princesses would also be coming, so everyone had to come on their own.
On the stage, a little girl played a short piece of music first, intending to make everyone quiet down.
Then, three young men came up, one of them wearing a brocade robe that was half too short and obviously didn't fit him.
That's right! Kang Yueran's skit was the crosstalk "Peeling the Ma Gua." But Dayong didn't have a Ma Gua, so she changed the name to "Peeling the Brocade Robe."
No one had ever heard crosstalk before, so it was very novel to them and they were all so amused that they were at a loss as to what to do.
Chai Shibo clutched his stomach and exclaimed, "No wonder Miss Kang told us to eat less. If we eat any more, I'll have a stomachache. Oh, this is going to make me die of laughter."
Chu Yun covered Chai Shibo's mouth with his hand and said, "Prince Ning, please stop talking. We can't hear you clearly."
Without a microphone, the sound pickup will be worse.
Kang Yueran looked at the female relatives, each of whom was laughing uncontrollably. Chai Rong was already wiping her tears with a handkerchief.
The three young men went down and everyone started talking.
Chai Shibo slammed the table and said, "This shopkeeper Hua is so dishonest. He has such a good play, why didn't he show it earlier?"
Kang Yueran replied: "I gave you the lyrics!"
Chai Rong tidied up her fallen hair and asked, "Miss Kang, how did you come up with this idea?"
"I was just thinking about it when I had nothing to do!"
Seeing that Xiao Taohong and the dancing girls on the stage had taken their places, Kang Yueran clapped his hands twice and said, "Now we're going to sing a good song, everyone listen carefully!"
The song "When Will the Bright Moon Rise" coupled with the slightly cool noise of Little Peach Blossom is simply perfect!
When the song ended, the first and second floors fell into complete silence.
Chai Shiyan said the first sentence, "Good lyrics, good music, good voice, but it was too short."
Shiba Shibo stood up and shouted to the audience, "Sing it again! No maiko, just the tune!"
Xiao Taohong quickly stood on the stage and sang it again.
Just as Xiao Taohong finished singing and turned to leave, Chu Yun shouted again, "Sing it again!"
Xiao Taohong had no choice but to continue singing.
Chai Shijing looked at Kang Yueran through the crack in the screen. He thought, this must be written by Kang Yueran to him. Kang Yueran was a fairy in the sky. She felt that the Moon Palace was too lonely and cold, so she came down to the mortal world, hoping to be with him forever.
