Chapter 109 Ningguo Mansion Treasure Chai Tasting Tea
Ningguo Mansion, Chongxian Pavilion.
I saw Baochai wearing a relatively plain dress with a simple decoration on her head, and she looked extremely elegant.
"Sister Bao, please sit down."
Jia Huan called Baochai to sit down, then hugged Xichun on Yijie's chair, and then said to Caixia: "Come on the tea my sister-in-law gave me."
"Yes, Master San."
Caixia nodded with a smile and turned around to arrange the work.
At this time, seeing that the place where Jia Huan lives was not the main house of Ningguo Mansion, Baochai frowned and looked around, then asked in a low voice: "Brother Huan, but is there anyone in this mansion disrespect your order?
Since you have inherited the title of Ningguo, you are naturally the owner of this mansion. Why didn’t you live in the main house? Instead, you lived in this immortal pavilion?"
It is no wonder that according to the secular rules of this era, the house you live in corresponds to the identity of the owner. For example, guests usually live in wing rooms and cannot live in other places, otherwise they will violate etiquette.
Now that Jia Huan did not live in the place where Jia Zhen lived before, Baochai had this doubt.
But Jia Huan shook his head and smiled, "Sister Bao is worried too much, and he has never had it."
Then he told Baochai the reason why he lived here. When Baochai heard this, he smiled and said, "Brother Huan, you really have the spirit of a gentleman."
"Sister Bao has gone too far, I just think it's troublesome.
Besides, I don’t care about these things. After a few years, I will get married and move them over.
Moreover, this mansion is not like the Western Mansion, and the staff are very simple." Jia Huan said with a smile.
After hearing this, Baochai felt that it was unruly, but she thought to herself: "Although it was unruly, according to Brother Huan's temperament, it was really as he said."
He simply stopped saying anything. Soon, Caixia brought the tea. Baochai took a sip and said in surprise: "Brother Huan's tea has a great background. I really didn't expect that I could drink this tea here."
When he smelled Baochai, Jia Huan replied with a smile: "But I don't know the origin of this tea. I just feel that the mouth is soft and the lips and teeth are fragrant. Although it is a little bitter, after a while, I feel a little sweet again."
"It seems that Brother Huan really doesn't understand tea. This tea is produced in Junshan, Yueyang.
Made of unfolded fat and tender buds, the buds are fat, straight, even, covered with fur, golden and bright color, fresh aroma, light yellow in color, sweet and refreshing taste, brewing looks like the bud tips rushing towards the water surface, hanging upright, and then slowly sink to the bottom of the cup, shaped like a group of bamboo shoots unearthed, or standing upright like a silver knife.
Therefore, this tea is also known as Junshan Silver Needle.
Junshan silver needles, the buds are strong in length, uniform in size, golden yellow on the inner surface, white hair on the outer layer reveals completeness, and the wrapping is solid. The shape of the tea buds is very similar to silver needles, and is also elegantly known as gold-inlaid jade.
Yueyang Junshan is mostly called white tea," Baochai said with a smile.
I saw Baochai sip it again, and then said, "Brother Huan's tea is even more precious. Judging from its color, its soup, and its taste, all of them are the best."
"Hahaha, Sister Bao is indeed knowledgeable and knowledgeable. This tea was left by Brother Xianzhen. When my sister-in-law saw that I loved drinking tea, she brought it over.
Since Sister Bao knew the origin of this tea, I think she must be a tea lover. I will ask Caixia to install it and give it to Sister Bao." Jia Huan laughed.
Upon hearing this, Baochai felt that she had shown off and felt a little regretful.
So he quickly refused: "No, this tea is too precious, Brother Huan should keep it for guests."
Jia Huan waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's okay, since ancient times, swords have been given to heroes and red pinks have given to beautiful women.
This tea is left here with me, but it is buried as ordinary tea drinking.
Giving it to Sister Bao, who knows tea like this is the best destination.”
After hearing Jia Huan's words, Baochai stopped refusing, so she said, "Then I will accept it with shamelessness. If I have the opportunity to find one or two treasures, I will also send them to Brother Huan."
"Hahaha, then I'm looking forward to the treasures sent by Sister Bao."
After chatting with Baochai for a while, he saw that it was already noon, Baochai got up and said goodbye. Before leaving, Caixia wrapped the tea and handed it to Baochai to take it away.
In the yard, looking at Baochai's leaving figure, Qingwen whispered angrily: "Third Master, I think Miss Bao is a little rude. Why did she say in front of Third Master that Third Master does not understand tea?
And why did Master San deliver such a precious tea?”
Upon hearing this, Jia Huan smiled and explained: "But tea is just what's worth?"
No matter how precious it is, isn’t it for people to drink?
Although Sister Bao spoke a little faster just now, she was just happy to see Lie.
Don’t say this in the future, and people may gossip again when they hear it.”
When Qingwen heard this, she felt that the Third Master was arrogant and didn't care about this. Then she nodded and promised: "Don't worry, Master, I won't say anything more."
"Well, go and see if the meal is ready. I'm not hungry, and the fourth sister is hungry too!"
While speaking, Caixia came over and greeted, "Third Master, the food has been set up and it's time to eat."
Then he personally brought a hot towel and handed it to Jia Huan to wipe his hands.
"Come and eat together."
Jia Huan put the towel aside and asked Caixia and Qingwen to go with her.
As soon as I walked in, I saw Xiao Jixiang and Xichun, who were already holding chopsticks and glasses, staring at their favorite dishes. I couldn't help but swallow my saliva, but I just didn't pick up the dishes.
"Why don't you eat it?" Jia Huan found it funny.
"Waiting for the third brother (waiting for the third master) together!" Xichun and Xiao Jixiang replied at the same time.
Jia Huan smiled and after sitting down, he picked up what they liked for each of them and said, "Eat quickly, don't wait for me to eat in the future. If you are hungry, eat as you want, just eat it, just like in Xifu before."
"No, Sister Caixia said that the third master's identity is different now, and he can no longer be as unruly as before." Xiao Jixiang answered casually.
Even Xichun nodded and agreed.
Hearing this, Jia Huan asked Caixia and Qingwen to sit down for dinner and said, "No need to do so. If there are outsiders here, you will not have the chance to sit with me.
If there is no outsider, there is no need to follow such rules.
Although I have inherited the title of Ningguo, I am still the third brother of the fourth sister and your third master, and this will not change."
On the side, everyone was happy to hear Jia Huan's words, so they ate this meal happily.
After lunch, Zhao Guoji came to report the accounts under his command.
As soon as he saw Jia Huan, he immediately saluted respectfully and said, "I have met the Third Master, congratulations to the Third Master for inheriting the title of Ningguo."
"Uncle doesn't have to be too polite, it's just like before. It's too polite, but it makes people feel distant." Jia Huan smiled.
However, although Jia Huan said this, Zhao Guoji shook his head and said, "The third master's identity is different from the past, so he naturally cannot be as casual as before.
I know that the Third Master treats me as honestly as before, but if I rely on the Third Master not to care about it and fail to perform these etiquettes, it would be my fault."
Zhao Guoji's words made Jia Huan look at him with admiration and became more satisfied with him, so he smiled and said, "Then let's follow my uncle. By the way, I have always thought about giving my uncle a gift, but because of the previous funeral in Ningguo Mansion, I have never given it to my uncle."
After saying that, he said to Caixia again: "Sister Caixia, there is a purple box in the cabinet on the left side of the study. Please help me get it."
Caixia nodded and responded with a smile. After a moment, she handed the box to Jia Huan.
