Qin Shen also stood up and greeted Yu Rou.
"Mr. Qin is here too, what a coincidence." Yu Rou said with a smile.
"Sir, I am from the same hometown and old acquaintance with you. I came here today to ask you for a cup of tea. I didn't expect to see Madam Yu here." Qin Shen said.
"There is no coincidence in the world." Yu Rou said lightly.
"This lady has brought such a valuable gift, I wonder what it means?" Mr. Guhe carefully rolled up the scroll and asked the servant to put it back in place.
"I have two older brothers who are eager to learn, but their teacher has gone back to their hometown for some reason. Now that they are without a teacher, I am afraid they will be delayed in their studies. I heard that Mr. Guhe is very talented, so I would like to invite him to teach at my house."
Mr. Guhe didn't expect that she was doing this for this matter and was a little surprised.
"Please sit down and have a cup of tea first." Mr. Guhe stroked his beard and asked his servant to bring the tea set immediately and prepare to make tea.
Yu Rou was a little confused by Mr. Guhe's attitude. Maybe she had thought it was too simple before. To invite Mr. Guhe, a big gift alone might not be enough. The prince himself had failed to invite him before.
She still had to think about it again.
Yu Rou nodded, walked forward calmly, and sat down on the stone block next to Qin Shen.
The tea set was brought up quickly. A wooden tray was filled with various utensils, and there was also a bamboo basket filled with charcoal and firewood.
Yu Rou used to be a tea lover. For a while, she was obsessed with making tea and learned from many masters. She wouldn't say her skills were superb, but she was pretty good at it.
Just as Mr. Guhe was about to make it himself, Yu Rou said with a smile, "Wait a minute, sir. Let me do it. If the tea I make satisfies you, please consider it again."
Mr. Guhe said, "You are a guest, how can you make tea for a guest?"
Yu Rou said, "I am someone who has something to ask for, sir, please give me a chance to show my ability."
Qin Shen helped and said, "Sir, you love tea, why not try her tea art."
Mr. Lone Crane: “Okay.”
Yu Rou's hands moved slowly but skillfully. She wrapped the freshly roasted tea in paper to prevent the aroma from dissipating. While waiting for the tea cake to cool down, she picked up the charcoal and firewood placed aside.
After she grinds the tea cake into a fine powder, she puts it into a bamboo box and then begins to brew the tea. The tea is mainly made from tea cakes, which are roasted and ground into powder. When the water begins to boil, the powder is added and stirred, stopping when it boils.
She never stopped moving. The surroundings were so quiet that only the faint sound of boiling water could be heard. Yu Rou listened attentively, not missing a single sound.
When you hear the sound of pine wind, the tea is ready. Tea foam gradually rises above the water surface, a layer of snow-like foam, and the fragrance of tea fills the air.
Qin Shen composes a poem: "A cup of flower milk floats lightly and roundly. When I smell the fragrance of this tea, I know that the wife of the Yu family is an expert in tea making."
Mr. Guhe originally thought that she was just showing off her skills, but he didn't expect that her tea art was so amazing, not inferior to those masters at all.
Mr. Guhe said excitedly, "Drink it while it's hot. Only when it's hot can you savor the freshness and fragrance of the tea."
After saying that, he picked up a cup and savored it carefully. Before he even took a sip, the aroma that filled his nose made him feel relaxed and happy.
"Good tea!" Mr. Guhe praised.
After drinking the tea, Mr. Guhe's attitude towards Yu Rou was obviously different. He had avoided talking about Yu Rou's request before, but now he said he would consider it.
Even though she didn't agree immediately, Yu Rou was very satisfied.
Qin Shen suddenly said, "There's a teahouse in Zhongwa called the Yangmen Teahouse. They often have tea parties, and many tea lovers take turns drinking tea in the lecture hall. There's also a game called Tea Order at the tea party, which is similar to Drinking Order. I wonder if Madam Yu is interested in joining us for the tea party?"
Yu Rou was stunned. Qin Shen looked at her seriously, waiting for her answer.
Suddenly there was a knock on the door and someone came to visit again.
Mr. Guhe said, "Xiaoyun, go see who it is."
The servant boy, called Xiaoyun, ran to open the door and came back in a hurry. "Sir, that distinguished guest has arrived. Would you like to see him?"
Mr. Guhe looked at Yu Rou and Qin Shen, and said thoughtfully: "Just tell him that I have a guest and ask him to come back another day."
Xiaoyun responded, ran out of the yard, and went to the door to answer.
Mr. Guhe said, "Let's continue drinking tea."
Qin Shen glanced at Mr. Guhe and said, "Mrs. Yu hasn't answered my question yet, please don't interrupt."
Mr. Guhe looked at Qin Shen with a half-smile and said, "Okay, okay, I won't interrupt."
Yu Rou originally thought that she didn't need to answer since she had just changed the subject, but Qin Shen, the nerdy guy, brought it up again.
Yu Rou was about to answer, but was interrupted by Xiao Yun again.
Xiaoyun brought two jars of wine and said, "Sir, this is what the distinguished guest asked me to give you. He said he would come visit again another day."
Yu Rou recognized the wine jar as soon as she saw it. It was the imperial wine she had seen in the palace a few days ago. Then the person who just came must be someone from the palace. From Xiaoyun's tone, it seemed that this distinguished guest had been here before. Yu Rou immediately thought of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Didn't she meet him here last time?
The author has something to say: I will update the next one tomorrow morning.
