23, arrogance
After thinking about it over and over again, I still think it's better to make a good impression on Junjun, so as not to be kicked out by her. So he fell on one knee and knelt down and saluted, "Zhong Zicheng, the general of the tiger Xiaowei, has seen His Royal Highness."
"Sit down." Cheng Yuanjia still ignored this person. For her, it was impossible to be the reincarnation of Qianyun, and the people who had no relatives were no different from passers-by.
"Seventh Prince, what's the matter with you coming to me today?" Cheng Yuanjia lowered her eyes and stirred the strings.
"To visit Junjun today, there is something to ask Junjun for help." The seventh prince arched his hand and said, "General Zhong made a bet with me. The two of us competed the tea ceremony, but this time, we didn't bring a tea set and good tea, so I asked Junjun for help, borrowed the Junjun's hand, made tea for me and made a ruling."
"Oh? How can someone challenge you with this? Cheng Yuanjia said curiously, "Who is so ignorant? Even I dare not say that I can beat you easily. Even if I don't lose to you in tea art, I'm afraid it's really gone that I can beat you in tea tasting.
Zhong Zicheng's face suddenly turned black. At this moment, even if she was on the edge of Qinrou Junjun, she didn't look at him. The seventh prince made it very clear that it was General Zhong who challenged him. The Junjun was still there and asked who he was in a sarcastic tone. It's okay if he didn't give face. I'm afraid it's rare to despise her to this extent.
There are few outsiders present when the seventh prince and Cheng Yuanjia get along with each other. Usually, they are just the people of Prince Qian who drink tea for tea. They never knew that Cheng Yuanjia treated unfamiliar people with this attitude. He was immediately confused and did not answer her question in time. This is not his fault. He has never learned Cheng Yuanjia's temper. Naturally, he doesn't know that her arrogance to strangers can make people crazy.
You should know that when she was still a practitioner, she was loved by her master because of her rare peerless talent, and her master was also the head of the great religion, and later she was promoted to the elder. Because of the master's extreme doting, she has become a special existence in the sect. Even those senior brothers dare not make a bad appearance when they see her. They must laugh and please her. As for the ordinary disciples in the door, she can fight and kill them at will, so she doesn't have to care about their feelings at all. And secular people are like ants in her eyes, and there is no need to waste expressions on them. It is because of her arrogance that she can't accept the fact that the person she loves left her after giving her feelings. Even if she is crushed, she has to defend her true love.
Zhong Zicheng next to him couldn't sit still. Even if he was really overrewd, he came out of Qinrou Junjun's mouth at this moment, like a loud ear scraper, slapping his face mercilessly.
Zhong Zicheng glared at Cheng Yuanjia and just wanted to have an attack, but she was shocked by her beautiful face. She was so angry that she couldn't come out. In the end, she just said sullenly, "How can I know? Besides, people can't look good."
Because the seven princes were born the lowest of the princes, even the princes have never shown arrogance to others, which also makes him spread among the nobles in the name of humility, and people who are close to the lineage of the king of Qi use this to promote his virtuousness and virtuousness. For Zhong Zicheng, the seventh prince has read his information. He is a general but not a handsome figure. He can kill the enemy bravely on the battlefield, but it is far from all kinds of power. Over the past year, there have been many Mr. Wang Sun who invited him to the banquet. Most of them wanted to pull him into their own power group, but this guy didn't know who instructed him. He didn't join any force, but pretended to be stupid to them.
The reason why the seventh prince agreed to gamble with him this time is that if the other party loses, he can become his support. In fact, this is also an olive branch thrown by Zhong Zicheng. No matter what mentality Zhong Zicheng is, at least he will not lose anything.
"General Zhong has this heart. Of course, I also need to cooperate actively, so I came to ask Junjun for help and asked Junjun to make a pot of tea for us that I have never drunk before, otherwise I will be suspected of cheating." The seventh prince was afraid that Cheng Yuanjia would say something that would make Zhong Zicheng unable to get off the stage, so he quickly said.
"In the past two years, you have almost drunk all the tea here. What else do you want to rub?" Cheng Yuanjia said in a complaining tone, "Even the collection in the palace has been evaluated by you. What good tea can I have here?"
"I know you must have something good at the bottom of the box. Don't hide it." The seventh prince was very rude and said, "I don't ask for masterpieces like neon clouds and fog, as long as you are eye-catching."
Cheng Yuanjia smiled instead of anger and said, "You know me. Well, since you asked for it, I'll make you a pot of special tea, but I'll put the ugly words first. This tea is very special. It's not my fault if I'm not used to it.
From beginning to end, Cheng Yuanjia regarded someone as transparent, and still didn't even move the corners of her eyes in that direction. This makes the heart of a person who is full of longing.
Cheng Yuanjia motioned her personal maid Zhen'er to come over and said, "Go and get the four dark red teapots from the left in the third row and prepare the crystal tea set."
"Yes." Zhen'er took the order and left. At the same time, she greeted the maids who were waiting around to prepare tea stoves and other utensils for the county.
A quarter of an hour later, everything was ready, and even the water on the tea stove was boiling. During this period, Cheng Yuanjia still talked about tea art with the seventh prince, so that Zhong Zicheng, who wanted to interrupt and attract the attention of the county prince, was not qualified to participate in the discussion at all.
After cleaning the tea set, Cheng Yuanjia began to make tea. He scooped out a teaspoon of dark green tea from the teapot and poured it into a small crystal-carved plate beside it, signaling the maid to take it in front of the two of them.
"I won't disclose the name of this tea for the time being. It is also my homemade tea. The output is less than that of neon cloud tea. Please take a look at the taste of the tea first." Cheng Yuanjia explained.
More than a dozen chrysalis-like tea leaves lie quietly in the crystal plate, dark green, and there is no special aroma. From the appearance alone, there is nothing worth paying attention to.
After taking back the tea, Cheng Yuanjia poured all the tea leaves on the plate into a crystal teapot and poured boiling water.
The unique transparent characteristics of the crystal teapot allow the tea to bloom in the water to be displayed in people's eyes, especially this tea. Originally, the long coiled leaves were like chrysalis. After being moistened by boiling water, they were like a lazy beauty. She woke up from a deep sleep and stretched out comfortably, releasing charming beauty.
But the amazing thing is that although the tea has been fully unfolded, the color of the water has not changed, and it is still as clear as fresh water just poured in.
Cheng Yuanjia filled the three tea cups in front of her with tea, motioned the maid to bring two of them to them, and said, "The tea has been made. Please take your time."
Zhong Zicheng took the small teacup from the hand of the maid and stared at the small teacup that could swallow the tea in front of him and the teacup in one bite. He made up his mind that no matter what the taste of the tea was, he would flatter the gentleman desperately. As long as the gentleman was happy, he could not only watch it. He can also make a good impression on her at a glance.
With this idea in mind, he suddenly poured tea into his mouth.
"Wow." Hearing an exclamation, Zhong Zicheng poured it quickly and vomited it quickly. He actually spit the tea on the ground in one gulp. His facial features were all squeezed into one place, and he couldn't help shouting, "It's so bitter."
The seventh prince was still observing the color of the tea soup. Seeing that Zhong Zicheng was so gaffe, he was also stunned.
The tea soup placed in the crystal tea cup is colorless and fragrance. It looks no different from clear water. It can't be seen that it is tea that has been brewed. If you hadn't seen Cheng Yuanjia brewing this tea with your own eyes, you can also see the process of making tea through the crystal teapot. Anyone would suspect that this is Jun taking water to fool you to drink tea. People.
"What kind of tea is this? Why is it so bitter?" Although Zhong Zicheng vomited the tea, he still couldn't stand the bitter taste left in his mouth. He looked around for something to rinse his mouth and catch the fruit put aside. Regardless of etiquette, he rushed to grab two pears and nibbled them one by one.
