You Hange watched You Miao's movements, warming the cup, pounding the tea, and sprinkling the tea leaves. It was as indescribably beautiful as running clouds and flowing water. It was born in the hands of the young man, and it didn't have the slightest charm of Jiangnan women. Instead, it was clean and hearty. Full of masculinity.
You Miao shook the long-mouthed copper pot, and the boiling water snaked like a dragon.
You Hango said: "I learned a poem a few days ago."
"What poetry?" You Miao raised her eyes and asked.
"The tide of love is coming from thousands of miles, and the tide is ruthlessly sent back..." You Hange said, "What are you calling for?"
You Miao smiled and said, "That's the word, Su Shi's eight-tone Ganzhou."
You Hange smiled and said, "No, you are making tea and rolling around like a tide. It's really beautiful."
You Miao said lightly: "Well, it can be regarded as good eyesight, you can know my technique just by learning a few words, tea skills are divided into three points and three points, thirteen are suitable, seven taboos, and tea-making techniques include Shanghai style, Xizi. School, Ganzhou School, Chuan School, Hantan School, Wuli Yunshan… There are seventy-two techniques, and I use the Shanghai school's 'ebb and tide' technique."
"This is how to make a cup of tea." You Miao held the rim of the tea cup with her thumb, index finger and middle finger, and held the bottom of the cup with her sword. : "The scent of the tea itself can be rolled out by boiling water."
You Hange picked up the tea, and You Miao added, "The index finger of one hand touches the bottom of the cup, and the other hand and two fingers pinch the rim of the cup, and don't touch the wall of the cup with hot water with your fingers."
You Hange smiled embarrassedly, shook his head, and said, "Dad didn't teach me to taste tea."
Daliang smiled and said, "This is your brother? You boy."
You Miao snorted, and Da Liang said: "You two have similar noses, ears and noses, good-looking noses, and you are both blessed and rich. Humans rely on the bridge of the nose. it is good!"
You Miao was noncommittal, glanced at Hango, and said, "Master Liang, here comes the bowl."
Daliang took a bowl, You Miao poured him the bottom of the bowl, Daliang said, "Good tea, good tea." Then he took it out.
You Miao poured a cup by herself, took a sip, and looked out the door thoughtfully, with a slightly relaxed expression, no longer mocking and insinuating You Hange. When the carpenter Liang said just now, You Miao also found out that he and You Hango still look a bit similar. Although he looks like his mother, his father's brand is still in their lives, no matter what You Miao's attitude towards this eldest brother is. , they are the children of the wandering family, and when they walk outside, others can recognize that they are two brothers.
"This cup is so beautiful." You Hango said in surprise, "The fish at the bottom of the cup still seems to move."
You Miao said: "The water is the mother, the pot is the father, there are six cups in a pot, and the fish in each cup is different. It is my mother's dowry. Ru kiln made two sets. Mother took it as a dowry, and now it's in my hands."
You Hange said: "I need to know how to read when I go back, so I can read. Dad said that I don't know how to drink tea, so he didn't teach me much. After you left, Dad often sat alone in the tea room. Come on, even my mother won't let in."
You Miao was thinking of something else and said, "I also have to go get a tea room and hang Lu Yu's tea scriptures. First, it's arty, and second, it's bluffing..."
You Hange laughed and said, "Dad asked you to come home in New Year's Eve. I'll pick you up in a few days."
You Miao said, "Forget it, I can't leave."
You Miao naturally understands what You Dechuan means, but when he thinks of having a reunion dinner with the Wang family, You Miao gets nauseated, and You Hange said again, "You are going to worship your ancestors at the New Year's 30, have you forgotten?"
Only then did You Miao think of this matter. Other things can be ignored, but the ancestor worship had to go. You Dechuan offended him, but the ancestors did not offend him. You can't even forget your ancestors. You Dechuan is ready to go home.
But You Miao is also clever, and he has another trick.
"I'm planning to go to Yangzhou in the 30th year of the year to buy something." You Miao said casually, "When I return to the clan, I will have a New Year's Eve dinner with the clan elders, and I will worship my ancestors there. Come, brother. , have another drink."
You Miao put the second cup of tea in front of You Hango and smiled slyly, when You Hang Gordon didn't know what to say.
"Let's come back and have a look." You Hange said, "If you don't go home for the new year, you can also... come and see Dad sometime. I'm begging you, brother."
You Miao said indifferently, "Then go back on the fifteenth of the first month. Anyway, I'm busy here."
You Hange had no choice but to nod his head, and then asked about the situation in the villa, how to farm the land, whether the wasteland had been opened, and what to do with the canals dug out. You Miao answered with some words, lazily, You Hange afternoon He got up and went back, and You Miao didn't let him eat, lest it would be seen that he had no money for eating rough or something, and when he went back, he made a joke of Wang's and sent him away.
In recent years, the weather is getting colder, and the Shen Garden has been repaired little by little, and the repair is in good shape. You Miao only felt that the money was not in vain, and it was given less. Da Liang renovated the whole yard once, it should be Everything has been used, and the corridor columns are all painted with new paint. Every time You Miao enters the house, she feels a little unrecognizable.
The carved windows and doors, each one has a taste of elegance and wealth. The new glazed tiles were paid for by him and pulled back from Guozhuang. The outside was brushed with grey water, and the light-colored walls were neatly lined up. of glazed tiles.
It really took a lot of effort to clean up such a big garden. The soldier even turned over the mud in the garden for You Miao, the rockery was cleaned up, and the wisteria flowers were put up on a shelf. The wisteria in the courtyard will spill out like a waterfall.
Several large ponds in the garden have also been dredged through again, just waiting to enter the water. The original pond water was brought in from the lake guarded by Zhutang outside. Once the whole garden is filled with water, it will be a beautiful scene when Yingying and Yanyan will appear. Now the big lake outside has dried up, and even the inside is depleted.
You Miao planned to use a bamboo tube to set up a long frame to bring in some water from the canal. When the time comes, the pond in the garden will surround the promenade, and then make a small bamboo waterwheel in the garden.
On the evening of the twenty-ninth year of the new year, You Miao packaged another 200 pennies to Xiaoliang and a jar of wine for the two of them. The money was so worth it that it almost restored the deep Shenyuan a hundred years ago. That night, the soldiers were invited to have a good meal, and the right to celebrate the New Year.
The next day was New Year's Eve, and everyone didn't have to work anymore. A group of soldiers sat in Shenyuan, drinking some wine, guessing coins and playing dice. When it was dark, You Miao and Li Zhifeng crossed the Yangtze River. He went to Jiangcheng Mansion, loaded half a box of animal skins, and went to pay homage to the clan.
The You clan is in Liuzhou and Yangzhou is a big clan, while You Dechuan and Liuzhou are more closely related. In these days, You Miao already knew what was going on. When You Dechuan wanted to change his eldest son, several uncles in Yangzhou were firmly opposed to it. Then You Dechuan came to Yangzhou to ask for a clan meeting. Liuzhou dispatched a Several clan elders helped You Dechuan to speak, and finally the You family in Yangzhou had no choice, so they made three chapters of the law and settled on You Miao's inalienable right of inheritance.
