Brewmaster

There was a slight sound of breaking through the air, Shi Mu's ears moved, and he reached behind his back with one hand, lightly catching the thing rushing towards him.

When Shi Mu withdrew his hand, Xiao Huarong realized that for some reason, there was a small teacup in the big brother's hand, it was a small blue porcelain cup with slits, and there was a vermilion embossed small fish at the bottom of the cup.

The tea in the cup did not drop, only the ripples gradually fainted, as if the little fish was flicking its tail at the bottom of the cup.

Shi Mu turned around and saw Wutong moving his lips upstairs, Shi Mu didn't hear the sound, but he could tell that he said: "Still coming up?"

Shi Mu smiled, drank the tea, called Jiang Jiang and said, "Go, go up with Daddy."

Jiang also had enough of juggling, so he followed Shi Mu without hesitation.

Wu Tong had already told Xiao Er, and as soon as Shi Mu entered, someone led him directly to Wu Tong's table on the second floor.

Shi Mu put the small porcelain cup on the table, and there was a crisp sound when the porcelain cup collided with the table, and he sat down, and Xiao Huarong and Jiang also sat down on each side, and the four of them happened to surround the table.

"You just throw other people's cups so casually? Are you afraid that I won't be able to catch them?"

Wutong blinked innocently: "I'm afraid that I won't come up if I throw other wine, and besides, you won't be unable to catch it."

Shi Mu looked at the tables, chairs, stools, bowls, chopsticks, and dishes in the teahouse, and nodded: "If you don't need me to come up, you will be kicked out."

Indus shrugged.

They walked around the meeting for a long time, and Shi Mu was not there yet, Xiao Huarong's mouth was already a little parched.

Wutong added tea to the porcelain cup that Shi Mu brought up, then lifted the two upside-down porcelain cups on the table, poured tea in a very pleasing posture, and pushed them in front of Xiao Huarong and Jiang respectively.

Neither of these two people is very elegant in drinking tea, but they just picked up the teacup and swallowed a cup of tea in one gulp.

There is no taste other than bitterness.

Wutong knew that they might not be used to drinking it, so he gave Xiao Er another pot of rock sugar chrysanthemum water, which was slightly sweet and refreshing, which suited the children's taste.

This tea house is no more deserted than the street market.

The first floor is mostly a place for passers-by to take a break and drink tea, while people on the second floor will stay longer, and chatting is even more lively.

For example, Wutong entered the tea house when he came to this area, Jiang was playing in the market, and he had been sitting on the railing watching Jiang from time to time.

Another example is the group of guys dressed as literati not far from them.

The movement of that group of people was not small and it was really conspicuous, Shi Mu and the others couldn't help but look over.

The three tables were merged into one, and a total of fourteen people gathered around the table. There was a pot of tea on one table, and several dishes of cold salad such as fungus and cucumber.

However, most of these things were pushed to the center of the table, and there were papers and pens in front of everyone, and some of them had a few lines of writing on them—it seemed that this group of people wanted to gather together to write poems, and they might even want to post them up. For everyone to carefully scrutinize, in order to rank the first and second.

It is often said that poetry and wine are romantic, poetry and wine are romantic, and I don't know why this group of people want to recite poems but they still play the trick of replacing wine with tea.

It's rather boring.

One person stood up to preside over the poetry meeting, and said that the theme of the meeting was to be used as the theme, but someone below said that the meeting was too broad, and there was nothing special about it.He mentioned that today happened to be the fifteenth day, so he wanted to use the full moon as the topic, but this time the host disagreed, saying that there are countless wonderful poems about the full moon in ancient and modern times, but it is even more difficult to write good sentences now.

The remaining [-] people rushed to stand in line and offered their ideas, as if they were about to debate.

They were arguing endlessly here, but Shi Mu didn't care to watch it. He just took a sip of tea when he saw another person coming up from the teahouse.

That group of literati was sitting at the top of the stairs, and when they saw someone coming, they stopped arguing, and started chatting suddenly, talking about talents they admired, talking about well-known masterpieces, using one allusion in three sentences, wishing to read all the poems and books in their stomachs Come out and show me.

Shi Mu curled his lips into a smile—it's strange that these literati are acting like this, so it turns out that the drunkard's intention is not to drink...

As soon as the visitor came up, he glanced around, saw Shi Mu's direction, and walked over involuntarily.

Shi Mu said softly, "Second Highness."

The person known as the Second Highness shook his fan and hurriedly said, "What Second Highness, didn't you just say that you called me Feiyu."

Tilapia.

He was the second prince of Dazhao who hurriedly attended Huarong and Shi Mu's wedding banquet after going out on business a few days ago.

Shi Mu didn't know what medicine this guy had taken wrongly, since the wedding banquet, he would visit Hua Mansion from time to time with his hands full of gifts.Tilapia has a frank personality, informal but measured, he is a likable character, after a few visits, he became familiar with the people in Huafu.

After Shi Mu got acquainted with him, he even asked him why his name was "Feiyu" - after all, the brothers of Tilapia they knew, Luo Zhonghan and Luo Zhongmin, were all of the loyal generation.

Who knew that Tilapia smiled and said indifferently, "I changed it myself."

I don't know if the Luo family likes to change their names. There is Luo Zhonghan in the front and Tilapia in the back. Will Luo Zhongmin also change his name according to the situation after a while.Wouldn't that make Luo Qihua fall down in anger.

Shi Mu saw that Tilapia had such a deep past unlike Luo Zhonghan, so he asked him why.

This can lead to a pile of tilapia words.

Tilapia said to Shi Mu "filled with righteous indignation": "My father named me Luo Zhongyi at the beginning! Zhong! Yi! It doesn't matter if it sounds bad, but in our Luo family army alone, we wish there were ten or eight names in it." The word loyalty, sometimes when I go to the barracks, I feel that the brothers are calling me by any name, and I have to turn my head ten times or eight times when I walk a certain distance, thinking that someone is calling me."

When Shi Mu thought about that scene, he really found it a little funny.

Tilapia brushed her hair pretending to be melancholy, "I am suave, young master, how can I have such a mediocre name? So I changed it in a fit of anger."

Shi Mu couldn't help asking: "Is your father not angry?"

Tilapia sighed: "Why don't you get angry, my father wants to break my leg!"

Shi Mu looked at his intact legs.

"But he thought of Second Brother Han again through me, so he didn't bother to take care of it anymore and let me go."

When Luo Feiyu talked about Luo Zhonghan, he seemed to be in a slightly lower mood, but he still shook his head and said rather funnyly: "Zi Feiyu, An Zhiyu's joy. My father is not me, An Zhi... An Zhi..." Tilapia "An Zhi" for a long time and couldn't think of a suitable sentence, so he broke the jar and said, "Master An Zhi, I don't like the original name."

Shi Mu said: "You are not Luo Zhonghan, how do you know that what he got is not what he asked for."

It's not that Tilapia can't understand this truth, so he said, "Yes."

I stopped talking about sad things.

Having said this, Luo Feiyu asked about the meaning of Shi Mu's name, and Shi Mu said the same poem.

Tilapia thought for a while and said, "Very good." Then he asked about Hua Rong.

Huarong was originally quietly accompanying Shi Mu, he had always been taciturn in front of outsiders, and had no intention of participating in Shi Mu's conversation with Luo Feiyu, but he didn't expect that the chat between the two could involve himself.

Before Huarong could speak, Shi Mu took a step forward and said with a smile: "What else can it mean, it's naturally Huarong and Yuemao."

If Huarong was a girl, Luo Feiyu might believe it, but Luo Feiyu looked at Huarong's sharp and handsome face, and couldn't even believe it because of his relationship with Shi Mu.

Tilapia looked suspiciously at Shi Mu, his eyes were full of "You lied to me", Shi Mu then looked at Huarong with a smile.

Huarong said to Shi Mu: "As long as you like it."

It means acknowledging the rhetoric of "beautiful appearance".

Luo Feiyu knew without thinking that these two people must be cheating on him, but seeing their interaction, he suddenly didn't want to ask any more questions.

A pretty face...just a pretty face.

They can do whatever they like.

——Anyway, it has nothing to do with His Highness!

Shi Mu completely ignored Tilapia, just smiled at Huarong, very satisfied with Huarong's response.

Huarong squeezed his hand quietly, which meant that he knew how to play tricks.

Shi Mu was proud of it.

He also knows the original meaning of Huarong's name, but he just likes to tease him, and Huarong has long been used to this little fun.

Rong, Sheng also.

It means broad-minded and inclusive.

But Hua Rong obviously did not become such a person.

At least, sometimes when Mu is in front of him, he doesn't "tolerate" tilapia at all.

Closer to home.

Apart from going to Huafu, this tilapia also likes to wander around in the street market. It is estimated that this table of literati gave up drinking after hearing the news that the second prince will be in the teahouse today, and gathered in the biggest teahouse on this street. inside.

Tilapia's appearance is quite sinister, like a bastard, but he is more elegant and extravagant than ordinary dandies, full of characteristics.This point has long been spread among interested people in Beijing, and everyone is familiar with his appearance.

As soon as this group of literati saw the real appearance of Tilapia, they couldn't wait to start playing, waiting for the favor of the second prince, and then they could soar into the sky

Unexpectedly, Tilapia went straight to the table by the bar without even looking at them.

This group of literati were all embarrassing, secretly lamenting that they had chosen the wrong seat after all their calculations.

However, a group of "noble" literati who "do not seek fame and wealth" cannot follow the Second Highness, so they can only quietly amplify the voice of poetry.

Let's say tilapia.

He didn't see anything, he moved another chair and squeezed in front of the table.Seeing this, Wutong smiled, and lifted another porcelain cup to pour tea for him.

Tilapia thanked him, and drank it all in one gulp, without the royal calmness in every move.

Shi Mu and the others have long been accustomed to Tilapia's different behaviors on different occasions, so they are not surprised at all.

After drinking this cup of tea, Tilapia waved to Xiao Er, and ordered the first dish with ease. It seems that he often comes to this teahouse.

After ordering, Tilapia looked carefully at the people on the table. Most of them were acquaintances, but there was a child whom he didn't know.

Tilapia asked: "Whose child is this, it's so cute."

Powder carved jade...

Both Shi Mu and Wutong almost burst out laughing - this word really doesn't seem to be used to describe Huarong.

On the other hand, "Fen Diao Yu Zhuo" himself remained expressionless, as if he didn't care how others described him, and he didn't intend to answer Tilapia.

Shi Mu didn't hide their extraordinaryness from the Luo family, and now he wants to tell Luo Feiyu the truth just because of the phrase "carved with jade".Shi Mu said concisely: "It's Huarong."

Tilapia is not a stupid person, thinking of Shi Mu's expression that was about to smile just now, he immediately realizes that this beautiful face is that beautiful face.

Tilapia was sensible, and didn't ask how Huarong became like this in detail, but looked at Xiao Huarong in amazement, and then asked Shi Mu: "Is it fun?"

Hearing this, I know that Tilapia is also a master who can play, and I immediately think of various tastes.

Shi Mu nodded - wouldn't it be novel and interesting to be able to accompany his sweetheart like this?

The dishes were served one after another, but Tilapia himself had no intention of eating, and said: "Everyone, just eat, I'm treating you." Then he looked at Xiao Huarong with burning eyes, his eyes were full of interest.

Jiang and Wutong only cared about having fun just now, unlike Huarong and Shi Mu who ate a lot, they are not being polite to Tilapia now, and move their chopsticks when they hear that.

Although this tea house mainly serves tea, the cooking skills are really good.

Jiang and Wutong ate to their heart's content.

Tilapia still only looked at Xiao Huarong.

Shi Mu coughed lightly.

Tilapia quickly restrained his overly enthusiastic gaze, and said repeatedly: "I just want to ask him a few questions."

Xiao Huarong glanced at this uninvited strange man with some doubts.

Seeing that Shi Mu had no intention of objecting, Tilapia emboldened, and whispered a word in Xiao Huarong's ear.

Shi Mu's ears also moved.

It was Tilapia's miscalculation, Shi Mu's eyes and ears are sharp, even if his voice is quieter, Shi Mu can still hear him if he is so close.

After Tilapia finished speaking, he sat back to his original position, and Shi Mu saw Xiao Huarong glanced at him, nodded, and his ears were still slightly red.

Shi Mu was very proud.

Tilapia saw it too, and he was very surprised—he could never have imagined that a person like Huarong would have red ears from embarrassment—although the one in front of him is different from the original one.

But Tilapia seemed to get the expected answer, and he was not surprised for a long time, so he whispered to Xiao Huarong again, but Xiao Huarong didn't answer this time, no matter how Tilapia asked him, he didn't bother Luo non fish.

Shi Mu looked at Xiao Huarong with a suspicious expression.

Tilapia was deflated.

He should have known earlier that Huarong is still Huarong, no matter what he turns into, he is not someone he can handle.

The second question Tilapia asked was——

"Then do you want to marry the person you like in the future?"

Xiao Huarong didn't want to answer, so Tilapia stopped asking.

The subject was not brought up again until the end of the meal.
