Mu Jing shrugged at Hongliluo, walked over, and together he changed Xiangsi's clothes, combed her hair, and washed her face. After they had finished their work, Hongliluo was still holding her, and they went downstairs and blended directly into the night.
When the darkness before dawn disappeared and the bright light just fell, Hongliluo, holding Xiangsi in her arms, and the three guards of the Duanmu family happened to arrive in front of the teahouse.
However, they are not the first.
The square in front of the teahouse is full of people, either in groups or in independent groups of one, two, three, five, talking in low voices, or closing their eyes in meditation.
"Brother Hongyi, why are you here so early today?" Xiangsi, who had been sleeping in Hongliluo's arms until she woke up naturally, stuck out her little head and looked at the people around her, feeling a little confused.
"You'll understand later." Hongliluo didn't explain, but just held her and moved as close to the teahouse door as possible.
When the teahouse was illuminated by the dazzling silver light of the sun that had just risen from the sea level, the entire square had become a sea of people. Only the heads of people could be seen flashing, and it was no longer possible to distinguish who was a passer-by.
, and, on the road leading to the teahouse, there were groups of people rushing forward like a tide.
Today is the last day of the tea party, and everyone in Shengya City is out in force!
"Ouch, you stepped on my foot!"
"Don't squeeze, don't squeeze, I can't stand any longer!"
"..."
Amid the movement of thousands of people, whispers of "ouch", cries of pain, and voices of discussion could be heard from time to time.
Xiangsi shuddered!
"Crash...", four loud noises sounded at the same time, the door of the teahouse slowly moved to both sides, and the neat royal guards lined up on both sides, revealing the broad avenue in the middle.
"It's open, it's open, run!" Countless people shouted and rushed towards the door.
"Let's go in!" Hongliluo hugged Xiangsi and pushed forward. Mujing, Duanmuchi and Duanmuye protected him on the left and right to avoid being bumped into the young master who was being held.
"Huh..." After finally arriving and sitting down, Hongliluo didn't say anything, but Xiangsi took a long breath and wiped the cold sweat from her forehead.
"Xiao Qianxue, now you know the reason why I picked you up early today." Hongliluo also wiped her forehead: "What, this situation is quite exciting!"
"It's so scary!" Xiangsi patted her little chest, and she still has lingering fears.
Fortunately, they came early and were at the front. If they had come later and were in the middle of the queue, even if they could squeeze in at the end, they would be squeezed into pieces.
Damn it, is this tea party really that good?
She couldn't figure it out!
If it wasn't because she wanted to specifically hit someone to vent her anger, she wouldn't be too lazy to suffer this crime.
Is it because there are no good entertainment programs in this other world, so everyone comes to watch the fun?
However, this situation is really awesome, even more awesome than the fans at the concert of a certain great star in the 21st century!
The hour has not yet come and everything is ready.
On the circular terrace, a hundred tables and chairs were arranged in a circle, and the 100 people who entered the final selection and the 200 people stood with their hands down; on the main stage, there were seven main judges, and the judges were sitting calmly; the huge
The mirror, as bright and clean as water, reflects everything on the main stage into it.
Quiet, you can hear the needle drop!
There was no noise, no whispered conversation, and nothing else except the sound of breathing in different shades.
After Xiangsi inspected the hundred candidates on the stage, her eyes fixed on the only boy who was facing the front desk and who was not in a pair.
The young man looks about sixteen or seventeen years old, with a sharp face and nose, strong and handsome, and a sword-shaped eyebrow that flies proudly into his mane. He is dressed in a dark warrior uniform, has a dignified appearance, and has a graceful appearance.
Perhaps Xiangsi's gaze was too direct. Suddenly, the young man raised his eyes, and his narrow eyes suddenly collided with hers.
The moment he raised his eyes, his originally calm body suddenly burst out with a trace of fanaticism, rushing towards Xiangsi like a flame.
"Little master, someone wants to fight with you!" Jadeite in Xiangsi's sleeve muttered: "I'll teach him a lesson!"
"No! You can't take action now," Xiangsi shook her head: "Block it for me!"
"I understand!" Although Jade was a little dissatisfied, she still nodded obediently.
Go, dare to try his master's hand in front of him, it won't work without giving him some color!
The emerald was hidden in his sleeves, silently, and a dark energy with a spiritual impact swept away like the wind against the fanatical momentum.
Silently, two dark forces collided in the air, one disappeared and the other continued to move forward.
There was a different smell lingering in the air, and the people around him frowned in confusion.
"Brother in red, do you know that person?" After Xiangsi asked Jade to block the attack for her, she looked at the young man again. After seeing the young man frowning, she was a little confused and turned back.
, pointed at him and asked Hongliluo quietly.
"Him?" Hongliluo raised her eyebrows and shook her head: "I'm not familiar with him, he must be a rising star."
He does know some of the many rookies on the mainland, but not all of them. He really doesn't understand this person.
"Ding", a beautiful and crisp sound like the jingling of jade spread throughout the audience, and the final selection is about to begin!
"Dear distinguished guests who have come from afar, citizens of Shenglan," the graceful Princess Pearl once again stood on the main stage with her dress flying, her lapels fluttering, and she saluted with a smile on her face.
His eyes swept across the audience again, and his voice was impassioned: "Today is the last day of the tea party, and it is also the day to determine the new tea party. Who will stand out and be ranked in the top ten? Let us wait and see.
!The main reviewers are Elder Hong, President Mu, President Yue Lao..."
"Wow..." A round of applause burst out.
Hong Qingqing, Mu Xiang, and Yue Liancheng stepped into the air and stood on the terrace, looking in three directions.
"I wish you all good luck!" Princess Pearl raised her eyes, looked at the finalists seated on the stage, and gave a congratulatory smile: "Now, the final election begins..."
Following Princess Pearl's "start", slight noises such as "ding ding" and "clatter" continued to come and go on the circular platform, all of which were a series of actions such as taking things and boiling water.
The judgment of the tea ceremony is divided into two processes: tea and art. Tea refers to the tea leaves and tea soup. Art refers to the movement technique of the tea maker. It can be rated as inferior, medium, superior and best. Each level is divided into lower.
There are four grades: medium, top, and best. The final evaluation is based on the two grades. Therefore, when making the selection, the judges must not only taste the tea but also observe the entire process of making tea.
At this moment, every staff member in charge of the selection stood next to the finalists, with their sharp eyes wide open, observing every detail, and observing meticulously. At the same time, they opened all their senses and sensed the breath of the finalists.
, strong and light tea flavor.
The 100 finalists were busy on the stage nervously, and Sima Xianghuan was also among them. Among the group of people on the stage, she was the youngest, and she attracted much attention. Many people's eyes were on her.
on his body.
There is no talk of a true gentleman in tea, and there is no talk of a true man in wine!
The whole teahouse was quiet. They were either paying attention to the circular terrace or the situation in the mirror.
"Hey, how could he do this?" Xiangsi glanced at Sima Xianghuan, and when she saw the young man, she couldn't help but widen her big eyes.
At this moment, the teacup on the table in front of the young man on the stage was empty. He did not put the tea leaves in early like the others. Instead, when the water for making tea had boiled, he first picked up the pot and poured boiling water into the cup, and then washed the cup.
Put the pot on the stove, then take the tea leaves and add water to brew again. When brewing the tea, you still start from the two sides and then the middle. The movements are smooth and flowing, natural and soft.
"Not bad, not bad!" Xiangsi nodded secretly.
After watching dozens of boring auditions in one day, in the last round of the last day, she finally saw someone who could be called someone who understood tea art!
Although in real terms, the level is still quite a bit lower, at any rate, with such a person, it can be considered that the tea party has lived up to its prestige.
Hong Qingqing floated in the air and also took in everything about the young man. His calm face softened a bit, and there was also a touch of appreciation in his eyes.
Maybe because it was the final election, it took longer than the audition. Calculated in twenty-first century time, after about twenty minutes, it was finally over, everyone returned to their seats, the main judges, and the judges returned.
After sitting down, start counting at a flying speed.
The new ten tea rookies are about to appear. If there are no accidents, the top three will be this time's Cha Ling Cha Mei. The audience is quiet, and in the large venue, only rough and soft sounds can be heard.
Breathing.
At the VIP table, Sima Zhi stretched his neck and looked at the main stage with expectant eyes, eagerly waiting for the results.
The wait was long, as if a day had passed. The judges handed the results to the seven main judges. After taking turns, the three most representative judges, Hong Qingqing, Mu Xiang, and Yue Liancheng, finally came to the table.
In the hands of the chief critic.
"Do you have any objections?" Hong Qingqing took it and looked at it again, his eyes lingering on one number for a while.
"No objection, very fair!" Mu Xiang and Yue Liancheng nodded in approval after reading it.
"In this way, it can be announced!" Hong Qingqing raised his hand and placed the special paper with the name on it in the tray in the hand of the female guard of the Pearl Princess standing beside him: "This result is just and fair! But there are
If you don’t accept it, we will be solely responsible!”
"Yes!" the female guard agreed, and flew the tray to Princess Pearl.
Princess Pearl took it and unfolded it, showing a smile that brightened the entire hall. Then, with the expectations of millions of people, she walked out of the chair seat with a gentle step, and walked slowly with Mulan Mingxin, who had been accompanying her all the time.
When they arrived at the circular terrace, they opened their jade throat lightly, and the sound spread throughout the audience: "The final selection of this tea party has been successfully concluded, and a new generation of tea rookies will be born soon. If you are not satisfied, please feel free to contact the organizers of this tea party."
Seven chief reviewers raised questions."
Question the seven chief reviewers?
Damn it, find seven main reviewers? Isn’t that the old man hanging himself...doesn’t he think he has a long life?
There are several of those seven people who are like thunder in the clear sky when they cough. Who dares to go to the leopard after eating the bear's heart? There is no doubt. Even if they are really dissatisfied, they would rather hide in a corner and curse the old man.
God, at least this way even if I die, I will die with dignity.
However, even if someone thinks so, no one dares to say it.
"Pfft..." Hongliluo laughed softly.
"Brother Hongyi, pay attention to your image!" Xiangsi looked at Hongliluo seriously, but she was already laughing in her heart: This Pearl Princess is so interesting!
If the tea party is a complete success, it will be the credit of Shenglan. If something bad happens, the blame will naturally be taken by the seven chief commentators.
"Hmm!" Hongliluo smiled and looked towards the terrace again.
"The new round of tea rookies are," Princess Pearl unfolded the paper and began to read the names: "The first one, No. 2707 - Hai Wuya; the second place, No. 1802 - Duo Erzi Lun,
The third place, Tulip Trading Company No. 3515 - Liu Yunchang,... the ninth place, No. 7439 - Chu Ling, the tenth place, No. 67 - Sima Xianghuan."
"Great!" When Sima Zhi heard his daughter's name, he breathed a sigh of relief and his face was full of joy!
"Wow..."
"Well done!"
When Princess Pearl finished her words, bursts of warm applause and cheers erupted again.
"Congratulations to everyone, please..." Mulan Mingxin reached out her hand and made a gesture of invitation.
Under the spotlight, Hai Wuya, who was dressed in black, headed by Hai Wuya, a total of nineteen people from ten rising stars, walked out from behind the main stage with light steps, walked through the wide straight road, and walked in the circle.
