Chapter 42 ·Tea Bowl

Bai Rongxuan noticed that this set of tea bowls was a little different from the normal ones.

The pure white porcelain has a delicate texture and is as smooth as pearls to the touch. There is no pattern on the surface of the tea bowl. Instead, there are a few elegant jasmine flowers printed on the bottom of the cup. The light green tea sets off the snow-white jasmine, and the slightly astringent tea taste seems to have more

A few touches of the sweetness of jasmine make people feel relaxed and happy, but also have a long aftertaste, with many details and clever little thoughts.

Bai Rongxuan felt that the craftsman who made this set of tea bowls must be very talented, elegant, and of good taste. She held it in her hand and took a few more looks with interest.

Biqing on the side saw this and said with a smile, "This set of tea bowls was drawn by our young lady herself. The old lady thought it was novel and interesting, so she asked the steward to customize several sets. Everyone who met her praised her for her ingenuity and dexterity.

I can’t put it down.”

Bai Rongxuan nodded in agreement, "It turns out that cousin Yuluo made it herself, no wonder it's so different."

Seeing that she liked it, Dong Yuluo asked Biqing, "How many tea sets did you bring this time?"

Biqing understood that Dong Yuluo intended to give Bai Rongxuan a set of tea sets. She said with some embarrassment, "I brought a total of six sets of tea sets, but there is only one set of this pattern. Why don't you tell Butler Zhou and see if you can

Send a message home and ask Mother Sun at home to send someone to deliver a set?"

Before Dong Yuluo could speak, Bai Rongxuan had already rushed to say, "No, I just thought it was novel and I just looked at it a few more times. Don't bother everyone in such a big way. Not only can I not accept this favor, but I also want to let my grandmother and aunt know later."

Blame me for talking too much. There are many things in this world that you don’t necessarily have to get if you like them. Sometimes, looking at it from a distance as a bystander and appreciator makes you feel better. Or there is a saying that says, 'What you can't get is what you can't get.

The best' yet."

His words were spoken in a calm and relaxed manner.

Bai Rongxuan has been reborn for two lives, and many things have been underestimated. It is good to add icing on the cake, but it is more important to put aside these complicated externals and see through the essence.

Dong Yuluo couldn't help but look at her with admiration, and even Qian's mother, who had experienced the world, couldn't help but look at Bai Rongxuan a few more times.

"Well, when I get a chance later, I'll give you a better one than this one." Dong Yuluo is a quick-tongued person. He said simply and directly, "This tea set is most afraid of being bumped. If you encounter someone who acts recklessly,

Man, even if I send it here, it will be a pile of pieces. When I get home, I will find someone safe to give it to you."

Bai Rongxuan smiled slightly, noncommittal, and seemed not to take such a random assurance to heart.

On the other hand, Tang Xueru asked inexplicably, "What's wrong with this tea bowl? What's so new about it? It looks ordinary to me..."

Dong Yuluo chuckled after hearing this, "It is an ordinary thing in itself, but it becomes a treasure in the eyes of caring people."

Tang Xueru shook his head in distress, as if he could not understand such inexplicable and profound words.

Although the three of them were cousins, they were a little embarrassed because they hadn't seen each other for a long time. Bai Rongxuan lowered her head to sip tea, Tang Xueru looked around curiously, but Dong Yuluo looked at the two of them calmly. It was Qian's mother who coughed lightly,

He broke the silence and said, "You two ladies, would you like to eat some?"

Pastries?" As he said this, he personally brought a plate of exquisite and beautiful pastries from the table nearby. "This is the craftsmanship of our Suzhou master Qifangzhai. He is old now and doesn't do it himself easily. I want to eat what he made.

We often have to queue for days to get pastries.”

Bai Rongxuan shook her head and rejected Qian's mother's kindness, "Thank you, mother, but it will be dinner soon. I'm afraid that I won't be able to eat it and will make the elders think wildly. When I get hungry, I will come to cousin Yuluo's place to eat secretly.

.”

Tang Xueru, on the other hand, stretched out his hand out of curiosity, "Let me try it!" He picked up several pastries with different shapes from the plate and ate them, "What kind of shop is Qifangzhai? Is it very famous?"

Dong Yuluo saw that she was childish, with a smile on her face like an elder looking at a naughty junior, and patiently explained, "Qi Fangzhai is very famous in Suzhou. His master's surname is Liu, and his ancestors used to serve pastries in the royal kitchen of the palace.

A chef who specialized in making pastries for the nobles in the palace. Later, he

Gong Li fled back to Suzhou and opened a pastry shop there, named Qi Fang Zhai. There used to be only one shop, but now there are branches all over the place, and the business is very good. Their best products are Donkey Rolling and Shaqima.

I'll ask Mother Qian to find it later and send it to you."

Tang Xueru nodded quickly after hearing this, "Okay! I have never eaten either of the two you mentioned. Our most famous pastry shop in Hangzhou is Wufangzhai, which is only one word different from your Qifangzhai. I have only eaten from his store.

I think the sesame cake and peach cake both taste average, but the peach cake is barely edible."

Qian's mother smiled and said, "I have written it down, I will ask Manager Zhou to buy some later. When we come back, everyone will try it to see which one is better than Qifangzhai."

Dong Yuluo saw Bai Rongxuan sitting aside and drinking tea calmly. She was unparalleled in beauty. When she was quiet, she was as quiet as a virgin. She had an indescribable smell.

It looks like a green willow tree blowing by the warm wind. It's not very stunning, but it makes people feel comfortable in the heart.

Dong Yuluo intentionally talked to her and asked about the trivial matters of her and Tang Xueru's daily life at home.

Bai Rongxuan hurriedly put down her tea bowl and replied politely, "I don't do much at ordinary times. My uncle hired a female teacher for us and we have to attend classes every day. When there is no class, we do embroidery or practice calligraphy. Cousin Yuluo should know, right?

My uncle is good at handwriting, so he has high demands on us. Before you came, Xueru and I had to write a hundred large letters for him to check every day. Because of your arrival, we can take a break to breathe."

"Years ago, when I first learned calligraphy, I couldn't control my temper. Because I was still young at the time, I was thinking about playing and couldn't sit on the stool at all. Later, I heard my father mention it, saying that my uncle's calligraphy was elegant and lively.

Very elegant. Even my mother is good at writing beautiful regular script.

, my father also deliberately found out some of my mother’s calligraphy practice books to show me. After seeing it, I felt ashamed, and then I started to learn calligraphy seriously.” Dong Yuluo’s face was full of chuckles recalling the past, but he realized it later.

Asked, "Will my arrival delay your homework?"

Bai Rongxuan was afraid that she would think too much, so she waved her hands quickly when she heard the sound, "Of course not. Grandma specifically told you before you came here, let us have fun with you, and we will make up for your homework after you leave."

Tang Xueru added from the side, "Besides, we don't have to go to class now, because the female teacher has something going on at home..."

Before she finished her sentence, she was stopped by Bai Rongxuan, "You are so healed that your scars have forgotten the pain. Have you forgotten what my uncle told you that day? Be careful and let him hear it. If the time comes, even grandma will punish you."

It may not be possible."

Tang Xueru muttered unhappily because she poked at her shortcomings in front of Dong Yuluo, "My father didn't allow me to mention Madam Shen's affairs, so I didn't mention them either. I just said something happened at home, sir. Is it possible?" Will I not be able to speak anymore?"

Bai Rongxuan looked helpless, "Anyway, you should be more careful."

Tang Xueru pouted in dissatisfaction.

Dong Yuluo looked curious and quietly winked at Qian's mother.

Qian's mother understood, and planned to ask Housekeeper Zhou to go out later to find out what happened to the female gentleman invited by the Tang family, so that the Tang family would remain silent.
