The tea room was a room Xiao Tuo specially built for Jiang Yuanyi before she married into the family. It was built with high-quality solid bamboo shipped from Xuanhan County, and the desk was made of huanghuali wood, with a picture of green mountains and clouds carved on it. There were four smaller desks on both sides of the tea room, separated by a white gauze in the middle. It looked quiet and peaceful.
Xiao Tuo took Jiang Yuanyi's hand, led her in, turned around and looked at her: "Do you like it?"
Jiang Yuanyi nodded, walked to the front and sat down. Xiaoqing had already moved the tea set she used at home and placed it in a convenient position for her.
Xiao Tuo led her to the front and sat down: "We don't know when our parents will be back, why don't you make some for me first?"
Jiang Yuanyi nodded and said softly: "Okay."
Her voice was coquettish, and she was completely defenseless in front of him, naturally revealing the coquettishness of a girl.
Xiao Tuo stared at her in a daze, and suddenly came over and pecked her white jade cheek.
Jiang Yuanyi glared at him shyly and ignored him. Yun
Shang went forward and added some charcoal fire under the kettle. Xiao Tuo sat on the side, holding up his hands and looking at Jiang Yuanyi.
She tied her hair up, revealing her delicate features, with soft baby fat on her face. She still looked like a girl, but more charming than before. Of course, compared with the coquettishness at night, it was simply...
Jiang Yuanyi waited quietly for the water to boil, and saw Xiao Tuo's eyes gradually changed. She picked up the teacup and tapped Xiao Tuo's head gently: "Do you want to drink tea?"
Xiao Tuo's eyebrows were still nonchalant. He leaned close to her ear and said something obscene in a hoarse voice.
The scene of last night suddenly appeared in front of her eyes. Jiang Yuanyi felt that her blood was surging and her face was hot.
Yunchang on the side quickly stepped back and hurriedly pulled Xiaoqing and Zhuyi away.
The man next to him seemed to be extremely thick-skinned... Jiang Yuanyi stood up and was unwilling to make tea for him.
Xiao Tuo grabbed her hand and said with a smile: "I won't talk nonsense anymore, please sit down."
Jiang Yuanyi refused to sit down and turned her face away, unwilling to look at him. Xiao Tuo held her hand tightly. Jiang Yuanyi struggled for a while and whispered angrily: "If you keep talking nonsense, you will sleep in the side room tonight..."
Xiao Tuo hurriedly agreed, knowing that she was really shy.
White smoke came out of the pot. Jiang Yuanyi listened to the sound, brushed her skirt and sat down, cushioned with a white handkerchief, poured into the purple clay pot, and began to warm the cups and boil the cups.
A girl who grew up in a tea-drinking family is graceful from the inside out when she makes tea. Xiao Tuo asked, "Yier, can you tell me about your childhood?"
Jiang Yuanyi glanced at him sideways, and seeing that he really wanted to listen, she recalled it carefully.
She was born in Jiangnan and grew up in Yucheng, which is the most prosperous place in Jiangnan. The soil and terrain are suitable for the growth of tea. The Sanyuan River, the river with the largest flow and the most prefectures in Ning'an, flows through Yucheng. Yucheng, a city built by the mountains and rivers, is a city known for its tea.
When they were young, girls from other places learned to embroider first, but they learned to smell the fragrance of tea first.
The most popular tea party in Ning'an today was popularized by Yucheng.
The tea party in Yucheng is much more casual than that in the capital. Regardless of age or status, as long as there is a tea party, as long as the number of people inside is not full, you can go in and ask for a few cups of tea.
Those years were the most relaxing and brightest time in her memory.
Whenever she thinks of them, those memories that have become blurred and hazy come back slowly along with the fragrance of tea.
Jiang Yuanyi's lips curled up slightly: "Jinzhou is not far from Yucheng. We can go there after visiting the old man."
Xiao Tuo nodded: "Okay."
Xiao Kangyuan and Xiao Shi did not come back until noon. The two had already eaten in the palace and went back to their room to rest. Half a minute later, the maid came in with tea.
Mrs. Xiao turned around and asked, "Who brewed the tea today?"
Zhu Xuan said, "The Second Young Madam specially ordered someone to collect dew and brewed it."
Mrs. Xiao and Xiao Kangyuan looked at each other. Mrs. Xiao smiled and picked up a cup of tea: "You are thoughtful."
She took a sip of tea and looked at Zhu Xuan: "Tomorrow Tuo'er and Yuanyi will return home. Have you arranged for someone to prepare the gifts?"
Zhu Xuan nodded: "Don't worry, Madam."
————
The Lin Mansion is two streets away from the Duke's Mansion. Xiao Tuo was afraid that Jiang Yuanyi would be bored at home, so he took her to the Lin Mansion.
In the apricot-colored bed curtain, Lin Zhengyu was sleeping soundly with Xiao Tingyi in his arms.
After getting married, the relationship between the two gradually became closer. The former cold and arrogant general also showed the tenderness of a girl in front of him. Although sometimes she was a little dull, in Lin Zhengyu's eyes, she was simply cute and adorable.
Lin Yanjue and Xiao Kangyuan have been friends for decades, and Xiao Tingyi is the only daughter of the two families. Lin Yanjue has watched Xiao Tingyi grow up since she was a child, and has taken care of Xiao Tingyi more than Lin Zhengyu.
After Xiao Tingyi got married, she didn't have to worry about the relationship with her parents-in-law, and was spoiled like a daughter by the Lin family.
Xiao Tingyi was not used to it at first, but after all, it was easy to go from frugality to luxury, and it was hard for her not to get used to it when she was coaxed and spoiled by Lin Zhengyu.
The two of them got along better and better in every aspect. They both slept soundly after a tiring night.
Xiao Tuo arrived at the gate of the mansion, greeted the guards at the gate, and walked in with Jiang Yuanyi. He and Lin Zhengyu had been together since childhood, and he was as familiar with the Lin Mansion as his own home.
Xiao Tuo first went to Lin Yanjue to greet him, and then walked towards Lin Zhengyu's yard.
Lin Zhengyu's yard had everything you could expect, including targets, wooden stakes, spears, arenas, sandbags...
This was where he and Lin Zhengyu had practiced martial arts since they were young, and they were taught by Lin Yanjue himself. Since the age of three, they had been practicing every day without fail. From time to time, they would be taken to the army in the suburbs of Beijing to compete with those soldiers.
The maids in the Lin residence all knew Xiao Tuo, and bowed their heads to greet him, "Master Xiao, my master and mistress are still resting..."
Xiao Tuo frowned and looked up at the sky, "What time is it?"
He wanted to go out to make some noise, but considering that his sister would be inside, he pulled Jiang Yuanyi aside.
The maids in the Lin residence were curious about what this beauty who was praised so much in the capital looked like, and they all looked at her quietly.
The woman was wearing a simple smoky blue riding suit and a simple high bun. Her whole skull was small and delicate. Even though she only had eyebrows drawn, her eyebrows were still stunning and her skin was as white as cream, which made people linger in their dreams at a glance.
Lian Fei took two bows and several barrels of arrows with ease, threw one to Xiao Tuo and handed another to Jiang Yuanyi.
Xiao Tuo gently pulled the bow, the arrow was on the string, but it was not shot. He turned his head slightly to look at Jiang Yuanyi: "Yier, want to compete with me?"
Jiang Yuanyi was interested and raised her eyebrows slightly: "Is there any reward if I win?"
Xiao Tuo put down the bow and whispered in Jiang Yuanyi's ear: "If I win, I will kiss you. If you win, you kiss me."
Jiang Yuanyi: "..."
She blushed a little, and her charming aura at the moment made several maids beside her feel embarrassed.
Jiang Yuanyi moved a few steps to the side without saying a word.
Xiao Tuo lowered his head and chuckled, then moved to her side: "So what do you mean by bet?"
Jiang Yuanyi looked up at Xiao Tuo, her bright peach eyes sparkling with watery light, and her thoughtful look innocent and cute. Xiao Tuo's eyes darkened slightly, and he lowered his head and gently pecked her delicate face.
Jiang Yuanyi watched Lian Fei and several maids run away with a "whoosh".
Jiang Yuanyi blushed and pointed the bow at him, saying, "If I win, you must agree to one condition."
Xiao Tuo held her little hand and said, "What condition?"
Jiang Yuanyi snorted, took her hand out of his big palm, pulled an arrow from the quiver and pulled the string: "I haven't thought about it yet. I'll tell you when I think about it."
Her daughter's coquettish nature was exposed more and more obviously. Xiao Tuo's heart was half soft, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise. He agreed, "Okay."
I will pick all the moons in the sky for you.
"Xiao Tuo! You are cheating!"
"You didn't stipulate that you can't shoot arrows on the target."
There was a noise outside the door, which was not very clear. Lin Zhengyu woke up slowly and listened carefully and recognized it as Xiao Tuo's voice. He cursed inwardly, put on his clothes, and got out of bed quietly. He opened the door and was about to scold when he saw Xiao Tuo's newly married bride.
He was disheveled at the moment, so it was not convenient for him to do so. Lin Zhengyu turned around and put on his clothes. There was a slight movement on the bed.
He walked over and leaned over to whisper in Xiao Tingyi's ear: "You go to sleep. Xiao Tuo is here, don't worry about him."
Xiao Tingyi was still half asleep, and unconsciously stretched out her hand to hug Lin Zhengyu's neck: "...Is Tuo here?"
Lin Zhengyu felt warm in his heart and rubbed her hair: "Don't worry about him, go to sleep."
A few soft women's voices came from outside, and Xiao Tingyi woke up a little: "Is your sister-in-law here too?"
Lin Zhengyu nodded.
Seeing Xiao Tingyi was about to get up, Lin Zhengyu half-knelt on the bed and picked her up, and the two of them packed up and opened the door.
In the spacious courtyard, Jiang Yuanyi and Xiao Tuo were close to each other.
Jiang Yuanyi, who was always smiling, was made angry by Xiao Tuo and stood aside shyly.
Xiao Tuo leaned down and coaxed her with a playful smile.
Jiang Yuanyi was the first to see them come out and pushed Xiao Tuo. Xiao Tuo touched his nose, walked in with Jiang Yuanyi, and restrained his nonchalant look: "Sister."
Jiang Yuanyi looked at Xiao Tingyi, blushed, and followed Xiao Tuo to call out: "Sister."
OK.
Completely ignored himself.
Lin Zhengyu coughed lightly, looked at Xiao Tuo with narrow eyes, and said: "Why don't you call me brother-in-law?"
Xiao Tuo looked at him, stepped forward and strangled Lin Zhengyu's neck.
"You want to die, don't you?"
Lin Zhengyu got bolder and grabbed Xiao Tuo's shoulder with his backhand, unwilling to admit defeat: "You are a brat who doesn't understand the order of seniority."
Xiao Tuo hit Lin Zhengyu's waist with his elbow: "Let's go to the arena to compete."
The two hadn't competed for a long time. They stared at each other and climbed onto the arena.
Jiang Yuanyi and Xiao Tingyi looked at each other and smiled helplessly.
Xiao Tingyi asked the servants to make some tea and took Jiang Yuanyi to sit aside.
"This is the new West Lake Longjing. Try it."
Jiang Yuanyi nodded and took it and tasted it.
The two fought on the stage without giving in. Every punch was a real blow to the body. Jiang Yuanyi could hear the muffled sound while sitting aside.
She was a little worried: "Is it okay for them to beat me like this?"
Xiao Tingyi smiled: "They have always been like this. Don't worry, they know their limits."
Xiao Tingyi raised her eyes to look at the girl with stunning features and clear eyes, and thought of her performance at the tea party that day, and asked: "Why did sister-in-law suddenly start practicing horse riding and archery?"
Judging from her performance that day, her skills were not particularly proficient, but she had already shown her style. She has a natural agility and courage.
Moreover, if you practice in a short period of time, you must put in very hard work to master it.
She lowered her eyes to look at the thick silk ribbons that had just grown on Jiang Yuanyi's soft hands, and said in a light voice: "Sister-in-law, do you want to join the army?"
Jiang Yuanyi raised her eyes and met a pair of clear and slightly cool eyes like the cold moon on the battlefield.
