Therefore, whenever Jiang Menggui's gaze inadvertently swept across Jiang Weishi and Jiang Huagui, there was always jealous hatred in her eyes.

Don't be fooled by the fact that the people in the main house of Xiluo Garden are chatting and laughing, looking very happy...

However, in the final analysis, it is nothing more than a game of flattery among smart people with ulterior motives.

During the chat, they took a short break and Old Lady Jiang called for more tea. Nanny Qingyun led two maids into the main house, carrying a rosewood tray painted with brown lacquer, and delivered the newly twisted teacups to the table next to each person.

Old Lady Jiang casually picked up the teacup placed beside her and saw the tea soup inside at a glance. It was lush green with a hint of landscape ink painting, and it seemed like a thousand ships had passed by.

"Hmm? This tea is quite interesting. It smells particularly sweet, too."

After hearing what Old Lady Jiang said, everyone in the room looked down at the tea in the cups in front of them. They found that they were also simple paintings, which made people think a lot.

Moreover, everyone’s tea soup and noodle soup are different.

It’s really interesting!

After taking two sips and savoring the tea for a while, Old Lady Jiang smiled and praised, "I haven't seen tea of ​​such high quality in a long time. The aroma overflows right into my nose, and the taste is also excellent. Would you all like to try it?"

After admiring the palace-like beauty in his teacup, Jiang Huagui lifted it up, brought it to his lips, took a few sips, and nodded in agreement, "Grandma, you're right. This tea, both in color and flavor, is of the highest quality. Before today, I'd never tasted such a rich and mellow tea! I have to say, not only is the tea at your courtyard great, but the tea brewers are even better! It seems I'll have to come back to your courtyard often in the future."

Making tea, making snacks and painting are the most elegant and noble activities in Dafeng.

It was popular among the royal families and nobles, and was especially popular in the inner chambers of the royal family; even in the streets and alleys, there were many places where people could show off their skills.

There are even some gambling houses that have been running gambling games all year round, with competition lists and rankings for skills in making tea, snacks, and painting.

For the top three on the list, a cup of tea is worth a fortune; if you want to paint with tea, you cannot do so without an imperial decree.

Although Jiang Huagui was not among the top three in tea-making, pastry-making and painting, she was also on the list. In addition, Jiang Wei spent a lot of money to hire a famous teacher to give her some guidance, so she could be considered a leader.

To put it simply, it is not as good as the best, but better than the worst.

Now that Jiang Huagui can praise him in front of outsiders, it can be seen that the person who makes tea has superb skills and is no ordinary person.

The other people in the main house were all smart people. After drinking the tea in their own cups, they all praised it and said it was good.

It's not just a casual remark, the tea is really good.

Old Lady Jiang felt very proud to see the people in her courtyard being praised, and the smile on her lips became even wider.

As Old Lady Jiang handed the teacup to Madam Qingyan, she casually asked, "Is there a new maid in the courtyard? Her skills in brewing tea, making tea, and painting are comparable to those of a master! I'll reward her later, and give her a generous reward."

Matron Qingyan glanced at Matron Qingyun beside her. The latter understood and leaned forward slightly, whispering in Old Madam Jiang's ear, "To answer your question, Old Madam, it's not that there's a new maid in the courtyard. The tea just delivered was brewed and made by the Second Young Lady herself. Every painting was also painted by the Second Young Lady, without any other hand."
