I wish for a long time

When Ye Jiu and Qi Shao'an drove to the gate of Xiangfu, it was early morning and Prime Minister Lou was not at the residence.

The gatekeeper was still the same boy. He looked at the woman in the light blue skirt in front of him, with picturesque eyebrows and a slight smile.

"cough."

The guard at the gate turned his head, looked at the little Hou Ye who was covering his mouth and coughing lightly not far away, and regained his senses.

Oh, this banished immortal is the wife of that dog-skin plaster.

"Madam Lin, wait a moment, and the villain will go in and make an announcement."

Qi Shao'an nodded in thanks, watched the servant leave quickly, turned his head to look at the white figure not far away, and said helplessly:

"What are you doing hiding so far? After all, we came here together. Don't tell me you won't go in after a while?"

Ye Jiu touched the tip of his nose, stepped up the steps, walked behind Qi Shaoan, and whispered:

"I'm not afraid that if people see it's me, they'll knock us out the door again."

Qi Shaoan shook her head with a smile, reached out her hand actively, grabbed her palm, and tugged towards her.

Ye Jiu knew what she was thinking, so he took advantage of the situation and grabbed the catkin.At this moment, the young servant came back from the courtyard, and bowed his hands to Qi Shao'an:

"My wife invites you to come over to the house for a briefing."

Qi Shaoan didn't expect it to be so smooth, subconsciously looked at Ye Jiu behind him, and the servant bowed his hands to Ye Jiu again when he saw this:

"Marquis Lin... let's also enter the mansion together."

……

"Ajiu, Mrs. Lou doesn't seem to be embarrassing us."

Qi Shao'an and Ye Jiu fell a few steps behind the boy, Qi Shao'an saw that there was no one else around, so he leaned against Ye Jiu and asked in a low voice.

Ye Jiu held Qi Shao'an's hand, the corners of his lips curled up: "Of course my wife has a big face."

"Gossip again."

Qi Shao'an gave her a strange look, but Ye Jiu raised his eyebrows when he saw this, and followed her obediently, but smiled and said nothing.

She asked Dong Fei to go to the tea house to meet Mrs. Lou by chance, and in front of her, she "said" that the Hou Mansion got a unique good tea, and then bragged a little bit——

Mrs. Lou lived up to her expectations, and she kept sending people to inquire where her good tea came from in the past few days.

If not, how would she dare to run into the dignified Prime Minister Lou's wife.

"Marquis Lin, Mrs. Lin, it's inside."

The house of the Prime Minister's Mansion does not belong to the luxurious and luxurious category, with orchids and green bamboos, corrugated windows, and the courtyard is simple and simple.

Ye Jiu nodded his thanks and stepped into the middle room.Inside was an elegant woman.

Although Mrs. Lou is middle-aged, she still has the charm. Sitting there, she looks like a blooming orchid in the courtyard.

"The junior has met Mrs. Lou."

After Qi Shao'an came in, he first bowed to Mrs. Lou who was seated.

Mrs. Lou got up quickly and supported Qi Shaoan's arm, "Young lady, you don't have to be polite, sit down quickly."

Ye Jiu followed Qi Shao'an and saluted: "Shi Jin met Mrs. Lou."

Mrs. Lou did not expect Ye Jiu to bow down to salute her, his humble appearance was not as wild and rude as her husband said.

She nodded, "Marquis Lin Zhesha is getting old, please take your seat."

Ye Jiu clearly felt the coldness in Mrs. Lou's tone, she pursed her lips, and sat a little further away.

Mrs. Lou's eyes swept over the seats of the two, and the corners of her lips curled slightly.

It seems that he is not contemptuous of his family, so his conduct must not be too bad.

Ye Jiu didn't know that his unintentional actions had quietly improved in the eyes of Mrs. Lou in front of her. She was still standing aside, and only heard Qi Shao'an chatting with Mrs. Lou.

"Where did you get this "Tea Classic"? I haven't found it after searching for a long time."

Mrs. Lou flipped through the books in her hand, the surprise in her eyes could not be concealed.

Qi Shao'an bent her lips, and replied softly: "I also got it by chance, Madam loves tea, and this thing has its value only when it is in Madam's hands."

The smile on Mrs. Lou's lips grew bigger and bigger, and the eyes she looked at Qi Shao'an softened a lot.

It has to be said that Qi Shaoan's words touched Mrs. Lou's heart, and the ceremony was also in line with her wishes, Mrs. Lou was quite satisfied.

"Madam Lou, this is the small-leaf black tea made by my husband, why don't you try it?"

Qi Shaoan pushed a wooden box in front of Mrs. Lou, and stretched out her hand to signal Mrs. Lou to taste it.

Mrs. Lou frowned upon hearing this: "Black tea? Homemade?"

No wonder no matter how much I inquired about it, I didn't know that the shop where Lin Hou usually bought tea was actually made by himself.

A trace of surprise flashed in her eyes, did she expect such a rich kid to be able to make tea?

Qi Shao'an frowned and smiled slightly, but looked at Ye Jiu, "I don't know about this concubine, I have to ask my husband."

Ye Jiu heard the words and almost didn't spit out.

You've already told this girl, why did you push yourself out again?

But when she received Qi Shaoan's gaze, she quickly put down her teacup and straightened her body, "Black tea...it's a fermented tea. The tea soup is dark brown, so it's called black tea."

Mrs. Lou was very interested, and asked: "How is that different from ordinary tea?"

Ye Jiu thought for a while, "The production process is different. Compared with ordinary green tea, there is one less finishing process. The taste is also more mellow and the aroma is intoxicating."

Since the founding of Xishui Tang, Ye Jiu has experienced countless varieties of tea, but most of them are green tea and semi-fermented oolong, and completely fermented black tea can't be found anywhere.

After Ye Jiu asked the tea house, he found out that no one made this kind of tea at all.

At the beginning, she could only find a similar taste, but it was still worse than real black tea.

It takes at least seven days to make a high-quality black tea, so she just got the first batch of finished tea now.

As expected of a tea lover, Mrs. Lou made a decisive decision, "Bring me my tea tray."

The maid quickly brought the whole set of tea trays. Mrs. Lou turned on the kettle and held the tea tongs in her hand. As soon as she touched the tea leaves, she retracted and asked, "Is there any other way to brew this?"

Ye Jiu smiled lightly: "There is no difference, as usual."

Mrs. Lou nodded, but hesitated for a moment, and handed the tea holder to Qi Shaoan, "Why don't you cook it for me, little lady."

Qi Shao'an was stunned for a moment, but he didn't refuse, and took the tea clip from Mrs. Lou's hand.She lightly touched the bottom of a cup, and waited for the water to boil.

The kettle hummed quickly, and Qi Shaoan stretched out his hand to pick it up. Mrs. Lou saw it, and reminded him hesitantly: "The water has just boiled, so don't wait any longer, little lady."

Generally, you need to wait for the water to boil to cool down when you cook green tea, but the young lady makes it as soon as she comes up, and Mrs. Lou has some doubts about whether Qi Shaoan can make tea.

Qi Shao'an smiled slightly, and the water was poured into the teacup in an instant, accompanied by wisps of white mist, "It's just for boiling water."

The white porcelain teacup immediately showed light brown tea soup, and Mrs. Lou showed surprise on her face.

"It really is 'black tea'!"

The black tea brewed with boiling water couldn't drink for a while, so Mrs. Lou chatted with Qi Shao'an about the technique of brewing tea.

"Young lady looks thin, the strength in this hand is not small, the pot is lifted so high, the water that flows out does not shake."

Hearing this, Qi Shaoan's eyes fell on the teapot, he was stunned for a moment, and then he said with a smile: "When I was a child learning tea, my family taught me this way, saying that it can make tea more fragrant, and I haven't changed it over the years. .”

Mrs. Lou nodded, picked up the teacup, and a rich and mellow fragrance squeezed into the tip of her nose and moistened her mind.

"Lin Hou is really good at crafting!"

After Mrs. Lou tasted it carefully, she praised it without hesitation.

Ye Jiu smiled, "Mrs. Lou is absurd."

"Ma'am, the master has returned home."

Just as he was talking, a servant stood in front of the door.

Ye Jiu subconsciously glanced at Mrs. Lou, and Mrs. Lou smiled casually, and looked at her: "Marquis Lin put all his effort into pleasing me, an old woman, and I understand what it means."

Qi Shao'an lowered her brows and smiled slightly when she heard the words, and heard Mrs. Lou say again: "It's just that I'm a woman, so naturally I can't control my husband's thoughts. He has his own plans. Little lady, you are also a woman. ?”

Qi Shaoan's smile froze for a moment, Madam Lou's rejection was obvious.

Ye Jiu only felt sorry when he heard the words, but he didn't show much expression.If Mrs. Lou was so good, she would have been bribed, and Mr. Lou might not be in the position of prime minister long ago.

"Madam Lou is serious, but I disturbed your elegance." Ye Jiu clasped his fists, glanced at Qi Shaoan, and said, "However, my wife is indeed sincerely willing to ask Madam about tea art. The matter in the backyard , let’s not get involved in the front hall.”

Mrs. Lou's sharp eyes stopped on Ye Jiu for half a minute, the corners of her lips curved inaudibly, then she looked at the boy and asked, "Duan You, why are you still standing here?"

Duan You glanced at Ye Jiu, and cupped his hands: "The master asked the younger one to invite Marquis Lin to the study."

Ye Jiu was stunned for a moment, a bit disbelieving, "Prime Minister Lou invited me over?"

Mrs. Lou looked at her stunned look, and chuckled lightly, "Didn't Marquis Lin just want to see the master, why don't you want to now?"

"Wish, would like."

Ye Jiu nodded repeatedly, got up and followed Duan You, but she turned back after taking two steps.

"An'an, you..."

Ye Jiu looked at Qi Shao'an hesitantly, but Qi Shao'an, who didn't know what she meant, blinked helplessly.

Mrs. Lou couldn't hold back her laughter, "You men are talking about things, what is the little lady doing there?"

Ye Jiu reacted and smiled awkwardly.She never dared to be separated from Qi Shaoan when she went out, and when she got excited just now, she almost wanted to drag Qi Shaoan away.

Qi Shao'an's face was slightly red, and his eyes signaled her to go quickly, "I'm fine, don't make Mr. Xiang wait for a long time."

Upon seeing this, Mrs. Lou immediately yelled at him: "Okay, I'll take it from your wife first, and you can pick it up later."

"You are really young, you can't be separated for a moment."

Ye Jiu laughed, and quickly followed Duan You out of the room.

Mrs. Lou saw the obtrusive person leaving, she leaned over and asked, "My lady, do you still have this tea in stock at Marquis Lin's mansion?"

Qi Shaoan shook her hand holding the teacup, tilted her head and looked at her, as if a big problem mushroom had popped out of her head.

Mrs. Lou blinked, "You don't need to give it away, can I buy it?"

Qi Shaoan: "...?"

……

When Ye Jiu saw Prime Minister Lou for the first time, he was snorted heavily: "You are really a good boy. I didn't see you, so you set your mind on my wife! It's really unreasonable!"

Seeing Lou Yanbai jumping in anger, Ye Jiu refused to admit it even though he was beaten to death: "Mr. Xiang is wrong to blame me. It's just that my wife wants to give my wife some good tea. I'm just a servant."

Lou Yanbai pointed at Ye Jiu, "A big man who is inferior to a woman is useless!"

Ye Jiu was stunned when he was scolded, Prime Minister Lou looked very much like a stupid son whose upright father taught his family not to live up to expectations.

She couldn't help laughing, and raised her eyebrows: "Isn't Xiangye the same?"

And she said, isn't it time for this old man to be helpless by his wife?

Prime Minister Lou was taken aback when he heard the words, then raised his neck, and said stiffly: "What's wrong with me, although I am a Confucian scholar, I am also strong and strong, how can I be like your yellow-mouthed child?"

Ye Jiu nodded hastily: "Yes, yes, I am young and ignorant, Prime Minister Lou, you have a lot, so don't be angry, okay?"

Lou Yanbai naturally knew what Ye Jiu was referring to, and he snorted coldly: "You still want to point fingers at the imperial court with your two-and-a-half bones."

Then, he pointed to the door, "You, get out."
