Chapter 119 Transaction
Not long after Zhu Huaizhen returned to Liuting Tower, he heard the news that Chen Mingan wanted to take Gao Yan'er as his concubine.
Ahem, it’s not that Zhu Huai really wants to know, but the entire Duke Dingguo’s Mansion is decorated with lights and is full of joy.
Zhu Huaizhen felt quite sorry for Chen Mingan.
The most beautiful girl she had pursued for five years was eventually defiled.
Of course, there is no other emotion except pity.
So Zhu Huaizhen slept soundly.
He slept until dinner time, and the old lady sent a nanny to invite Zhu Huaizhen to the wedding banquet.
Zhu Huaizhen was just about to say no when Princess Pingyang arrived in person.
"Zhen'er, there is a deal, are you interested?" Princess Pingyang said with a smile.
"Tu Mi, make some tea." Zhu Huaizhen made a gesture of invitation and treated Princess Pingyang with utmost respect.
After hearing this, Tu Mi was a little confused, as she was not very good at making tea.
Seeing this, Zhu Huaizhen laid out a gilded silver teapot, a gilded silver teacup, a gilded silver tea grinder, a gilded silver tea basket, a gilded silver tortoise box, a gilded silver salt stand, and a glazed teacup on the rectangular table. Then, he rolled up his sleeves slightly, and with a fire tong in his left hand, he took a steamed green tea cake from the gilded silver teapot and placed it on the stove to bake. With his right hand, he fanned the fire with a yellow kesi silk fan embroidered with a phoenix perched on a phoenix tree.
Wow, the beauty is as quiet as a flower.
Princess Pingyang took a look and felt very sad. How could her precious son be so blind and heartless?
Princess Xincheng was so pretentious, and so selfish. Last night, she had caused her precious son to be forced to take a lowly woman like Gao Yan'er as a concubine. Tomorrow, she would cause even more trouble.
Zhu Huaizhen then smashed the baked tea cakes into pieces with a wooden hammer and placed them in a gilded silver tea basket. He then picked up a gilded silver tea grinder, crushed the broken tea cakes into powder, sifted it into a fine powder with a gilded silver tea sieve, and carefully poured it into a gilded silver tortoise box.
"Mother-in-law, how about a little less salt?" Zhu Huaizhen smiled coquettishly.
Princess Pingyang nodded slightly after hearing this.
Finally, for the first boil, boil clean water and add a little snow salt, the water droplets are like fish eyes or crab eyes; for the second boil, the salt water boils again, and the bubbles are like springs; for the third boil, first scoop out a ladle of water for later use, then hold the bamboo tongs and stir it in the center of the tea pot to form a vortex, then scoop a spoonful of tea powder along the vortex and pour it in, the water vapor is like rising waves.
"Mother-in-law, I met an amazing person when I was young, who taught me the art of brewing tea." Zhu Huaizhen pushed the glass cup.
Zhu Huaizhen's implication was that if Princess Pingyang wanted her, Zhu Huaizhen, to forgive Chen Mingan, then sorry, she could not forgive him.
"Zhen'er, I have already investigated your background thoroughly. It's Ming'an who can't see through it, and I'm too lazy to tell him. He is too proud, and it's a good thing for him to suffer a little loss." Princess Pingyang sighed.
In fact, Princess Pingyang just found out about it.
She would not ask about Chen Mingan's love affairs, as his marriage was not that free.
However, Zhu Huaizhen didn't care about this.
In the past, I liked Chen Mingan, but maybe I kept it a secret.
"Mother-in-law, I want to listen to opera, that's my request. Besides listening to opera, if someone sets up a stage to perform, I am also willing to come out and challenge, even if it is to avenge the humiliation that Chen Mingan suffered back then. It will be better for Chen Mingan and I to settle our differences as soon as possible." Zhu Huaizhen stood up and bowed, his eyes sincere.
After hearing this, Princess Pingyang shook her head and laughed.
Princess Ronghua is also a very proud person.
What a pity, what a pity, we are not destined to be together.
