Scroll C, Section 108, Instruction

 Looking at the third sister's boudoir in a leisurely but interesting way, Feng Ziying came to Tanchun for the first time.

I've only been to Daiyu's place once, well, I've been to Baochai's place, but it's a small courtyard over there, so it doesn't matter.

Of course, he cannot have unlimited access like Jia Baoyu in "A Dream of Red Mansions". After all, he is an outsider and can only sit in the main room outside the house. Naturally, he is not allowed to enter the bedroom. Even so in this era, it is somewhat

It went too far, but fortunately my family kindness and knowledge could barely cover it up.

Compared with the delicate and exquisite decoration in Lin Daiyu's room, Tanchun's room looked much more elegant, with an ordinary round table, a few brocade stools, a half-closed flower window, and an unknown potted plant placed under the window.

, but also full of greenery.

"Servant Shu went to call Brother Huan. He will be here soon. Brother Feng, please sit down and have a cup of tea." Tan Chun sat with Feng Ziying, and Cui Mo poured tea for Feng Ziying next to him.

"I still drink Third Sister's tea all at once, but what's the name?" Feng Ziying took the tea cup and said with a smile.

"What's the name? It's just some ordinary tea bought from the house. I don't dare to compare with Brother Feng. However, although the tea is ordinary, my feelings for Brother Feng are sincere."

As if he felt that there was something wrong with his words, Tanchun tilted his head slightly to prevent the blush on his cheeks from being seen by the other party.

But how could he avoid Feng Ziying's eyes? He was also frightened in his heart. Could it be that this girl was also "coveting" him? This was really going to become a harvester.

There is still no explanation for Lin Yatou and Bao Yatou. Thinking of this, Feng Ziying feels a headache.

"What did my sister say? But my sister likes to drink tea. I will send someone to bring some tea to my sister tomorrow. One of my classmates is from Shexian County, Nanzhili. Their usnea tea is quite famous and the soup is fresh and moist.

, the fragrance is pleasant, and there is also Shoumei tea sent from Fujian, which is commonly known as Laojunmei. If you eat greasy food, it can help digestion and tastes very good."

Fang Youdu's father-in-law is a landowner in She County and a famous tea merchant. Now it is very likely that Fang Youdu will stay in the capital city and develop, so his father-in-law spent money to replace Fang Youdu in Yongfang during the Great Times.

He has bought a house and is still renovating it. His wife and concubines are not expected to come to Beijing until his children are old enough.

Now Fang Youdu's father-in-law really felt that he had picked up a treasure. Unexpectedly, Fang Youdu not only won the imperial examination in high school, but also won the Jinshi. Now he was greatly admired in the Ministry of Punishment, and he had the attitude of staying in the capital and serving as a post.

This is also a rare privilege for a Jinshi, so naturally he will increase his "investment" in order to make his daughter's position in the Fang family more stable in the future.

Therefore, some ordinary local specialties were also sent to Beijing from the market so that Fang Youdu could use them for socializing. Now Fang Youdu was really wealthy. The Usnea tea in Feng Ziying's home was sent by Fang Youdu.

As for the Shoumei tea from Wuyi, it was a gift from the Fujian Guild Hall. Knowing that Feng Ziying liked to drink tea, it became a kind of elegant gift.

This Shoumei tea is said to have been produced in Fujian not long ago. It is a new product developed. It is a fermented black tea with a mellow and rich flavor. Compared with the clear tea that is now popular in Shilin, it has a different flavor. It is said that in

It is very popular among the Xiyi people.

"Then let me thank Brother Feng first." Tan Chun blushed slightly and stood up to give him a blessing.

The Jia Mansion purchases some tea every year, but the taste of this tea mainly caters to the heads of the family and their wives. Naturally, they don’t think too much about the ladies below. There are rules for the tea in the palace, and it will be delivered to each place on time every month.

In the house, but if you want to make your own choice, then you have to ask for a monthly basis and buy it yourself.

A girl like Tanchun doesn't have many monthly meals, but she has a lot of money to spend. Tanchun is not a stingy person, she can only budget carefully, so the monthly meals are enough, but how much extra money is needed?

It’s not easy to spend money to buy things you like.

"Hey, when did the third sister become so polite to me?" Feng Ziying also stood up, smiled and waved her hand, "Don't you think this is out of touch? It's just a few taels of tea, not worth a lot of money, just a fresh taste...

…”

While the two were talking, Jia Huan had already rushed in. When he saw Feng Ziying, he was overjoyed. He stood still and bowed, "Jia Huan has met Brother Feng."

Feng Ziying also stood up to help him, and then she took the other person's arm and nodded: "We haven't seen each other for more than half a year. Brother Huan has grown a lot taller. Well, he looks like a handsome young man now. Well, we haven't seen you yet.

After your third sister?"

Jia Huan was stunned for a moment, but when he saw Feng Ziying's thoughtful gaze, he had no choice but to salute his sister again, "I've met the third sister."

But from this look, Feng Ziying knew that the relationship between the siblings was still a bit awkward, and that there was nothing wrong with Tanchun. It was estimated that the problem was still with Huan Laosan.

He also heard some things about the Jia family from Jin Chuan'er and Yu Chuan'er.

Now Jin Chuan'er and Yu Chuan'er have basically become his best eyes and ears to find out the news about Jia's family. In addition to Sister Lin, the news about Miss Bao naturally comes back in detail. He can also take care of these messy things in Jia's family.

Come and listen for fun.

For example, Jia Baoyu is now obsessed with listening to and singing operas. He is getting closer to Jiang Qiguan and Qin Zhong from Mingyue Tower, and he is also on good terms with Liu Xianglian.

It's just that Liu Xianglian is busy with her livelihood at the Daguanlou Theater and doesn't have much time with them.

For example, when Huan Laosan and Caixia next to Mrs. Wang were flirting with each other, Mrs. Wang was already aware of it, and slowly replaced Caixia with Xiuluan and Xiufeng as her personal maids, and began to marginalize Caixia...

For example, Baoyu doesn't go to Miss Lin's place as much as before. Although the cousins ​​are still close, they seem to be separated by a layer...

There are all kinds of things, but it is interesting for Feng Ziying to go home after a busy day and entertain herself from the perspective of a melon-eater.

Seeing Feng Ziying defending herself in this way, Tanchun felt warm in her heart.

She knew that her brother, who was a compatriot, had an extreme, surly and unruly temperament. She naturally admired those she admired, but it was different for others.

Even for his elder sister, he was often sarcastic and disrespectful to Baoyu, his brother. Fortunately, Baoyu also had a bright mind and didn't care much about it.

However, the maids around Baoyu and some other people in the house have also reminded her explicitly or covertly, and probably asked her to discipline Huan Laosan. Don't expect Aunt Zhao to do so.

It's just that Tanchun also knows how her sister can control Huan Lao San. In this house, apart from the uncle and father, I am afraid that only the wife and the second sister-in-law Lian can make Jia Huan feel at ease, but they are all superficial.

Unconvinced.

The only person who can truly convince Brother Huan is Brother Feng in front of him.

"Brother Huan, how have you been studying in the past six months?"

"I don't dare to live up to your expectations, Brother Feng. Jia Huan has put a lot of effort into reading. Now he is more familiar with "The Great Learning" and "The Analects of Confucius", and he is also getting familiar with books such as Annotations..."

Speaking of studying, Jia Huan was in high spirits, and a layer of red light appeared on his slightly thin cheeks, "The teachers in ethnic studies are pretty good, but after all, it is ethnic studies, and teachers can't ask for too much.

There are many people with unstable minds wandering around there, and he can't stop them..."

Tan Chun frowned secretly beside him, and Feng Ziying secretly laughed in her heart. The third child also knew that he had given Jia Baoyu eye drops, but he didn't know that his parents had given up on his studies a long time ago. No one could compare with him.

"Brother Huan, it has nothing to do with you whether people study or not, whether they are good at reading or not. Don't keep your eyes on this mere Jia family school. A man should have a broad mind and a broad vision. How can a sparrow know what a swan can do?

This sentence can be applied to you and others..."

"... As long as you study well and pass the exam to become a scholar in the future, Brother Feng will still say the same thing. Even if you don't dare to do this, Brother Feng can guarantee you to go to the academy to further your studies and pass the exam to be a scholar in the future.

Jinshi, Guangzong Yaozong, it depends on how hard you work..."

This chicken soup only made Jia Huan excited, "Brother Feng, they all say that Qingtan Academy is now a den for Jinshi scholars and is the best academy in Zhou Dynasty. I want to go to Qingtan Academy to study in the future!"

"Brother Huan, as you said, Qingtan Academy is now the most famous academy in the Great Zhou Dynasty. I heard that both Chief Guanshan and Zhou Zhangyuan said that the admission standards for the academy have been higher since last year. Non-provincial scholars

It is not possible to recommend Lin Mingru's autographed letters, and there are also requirements for the identity of famous scholars. It is not enough to claim to be a famous scholar. Each province must have a famous Confucian recognized by Qingtan Academy before it can be recommended. And if it is a minister of the court, it is also

Recommendations must be made by high-ranking officials with a Jinshi background or above,..."

Hearing such a standard, Jia Huan also took a breath of cold air, "Brother Feng, I plan to take the scholar examination the year after next. If I pass the examination, what should I do?"

"If you can pass the exam, you don't need to worry about these things, but you must not only be good at knowledge, but also have a good reputation. Don't let others point fingers behind your back..." Feng Ziying paused, and then continued

Wen Yan said: "A real man should have a broad mind and don't care about trivial gossip. As the saying goes, the prime minister's belly can support the boat. If you don't have a broad mind, how can you succeed in the examination and become an official?

, serve the imperial court?”

Jia Huan deeply believed that if another person had said this, he would have been dismissive and even rebellious. However, in front of Feng Ziying, he felt peaceful and natural.

Even Tanchun on the side felt excited and looked at Feng Ziying with a little more admiration for no reason.
