Qin Du'er stuck out her tongue, and quietly said: "After I received your invitation, I couldn't sit still. I left early in the morning, an hour earlier than the time I agreed with you."
Ye Yuning was both helpless and amused at the same time. Using the handkerchief to cover the corner of her mouth, she said: "Then let's go together!"
The two carriages left one after the other. After leaving the city gates, they drove towards the northeast.
Yan Dang Mountain was located at the coastal area in the northeastern part of Yin Zhou City. It was known for its wondrous scenery, and had always been a gathering place for literary people. It was known as the First Mountain in the southeast, known as the Great Liang Mountain.
God knows how long the carriage had been traveling, just as Ye Yuning was about to fall asleep, she was pushed awake by Fei Xiu, "Miss, we're here."
After getting off the carriage, Ye Yuning looked up and saw a wide mountain peak. The green mountains were like a shade, and the sound of water could be heard.
Just then, Qin Du'er got out of the car and walked over to Ye Yuning's side.
"Little Sister Ye!" Qin Du'er grabbed Ye Yuning's hands, her eyes shining with excitement.
Today, she was wearing a bright yellow, soft skirt and a flowing, floral top. On Ling Yun's chignon, there was a red ruby and plum blossom hairpin as he walked forward, swaying gently with the wind, like a picturesque deity. Ye Yuning was stunned, then burst out laughing.
"Sister Qin, you dressed so beautifully today, are you going to show it to someone?" While speaking, Ye Yuning blinked his eyes at Qin Du'er.
Qin Du'er's face was flushed red, she acted as though she was patting Ye Yuning on the shoulder, "What nonsense are you talking about!"
Qin Du'er was one year older than Ye Yuning, and their family had already started to propose marriage for her. In this period of time, she had been confined by her mother in her room embroidering, making it extremely boring.
While the two of them were chatting, a group of people walked over from the mountain side. Of the two people in the lead, one of them was wearing a green robe and a jade crown, while the other was wearing a blue train. His hair was tied up with a jade hairpin, it was Shen Yunxing and Jiang Guqi.
"Young Master Shen, Young Master Jiang." Ye Yuning and Qin Du'er bowed to the two.
"The two of you are here at the right time, Jiang Guqi and I just arrived." Shen Yunxing held onto a folding fan in one hand and clapped lightly, "This is Western Goose Mountain, although the mountain is relatively flat, the scenery is extremely beautiful."
Yandang Mountain is divided into five peaks, east, west, south, north and middle. The scenery is different. In the early years, the prefecture had people repair steps on these five peaks, leading to the summit.
The four of them led their attendants onto the stairs.
This was the first time Ye Yuning came to the Wild Goose Mountain, and it was an exceptionally novel sight. It was already the beginning of autumn, and the mountain forest was still lush and verdant. The cedar trees on both sides of the road were emerald green, while the ginkgo began to turn yellow.
Amongst the four of them, Jiang Guqi was the one who was the most familiar with this place, he was the one leading the way, explaining the unique scenery to the others.
"The most famous one of this Western Swallow Mountain is the Sevenwaterfall Stream. It's over there." Jiang Guqi pointed, and the rest of the people looked over, "That is a scene formed by seven small waterfalls, with flowing water flowing down from the mountain top and converging here, flowing down like jade belts. If we get close enough and water drops fall on our bodies, it will be extremely cold. "
Although they were quite far from the Seven Waterfall, they could still hear the intermittent rumbling of water. The Sevenwaterfall was small, but when combined together, it gave people a shocking feeling. Ye Yuning looked at the waterfall, her eyes sparkling.
The group of people walked up the mountain and rested for a while in a pavilion at the peak of the mountain. Because of the frequent trips up the mountain, there were people at the top of the mountain, as well as small shops that specialized in selling food and necessities.
Shen Yunxing waved his hand, and the servant beside him immediately understood, and ran over to buy some snacks.
"If only there was tea." Shen Yunxing subconsciously asked as he took a bite of the pineapple pie.
Ye Yuning was wiping the corner of her mouth, and upon hearing that, she raised her eyes: "Fei Xiu."
Fei Xiu hurriedly took a step forward, and took out a wooden jar from her bosom.
"This is Tie Guanyin, I brought her out from the mansion. I don't know if you guys drank it or not." Ye Yuning said.
"Ye San, what do you think? You actually brought tea leaves outside? " Jiang Guqi had an expression of disbelief.
"I'm not too used to drinking tea outside. I can eat it if I want. However, this tea can't be consumed." Ye Yuning was a little embarrassed.
Shen Yunxing's eyes lit up, and unconsciously, the corner of his mouth raised up, "Brook, go get a set of tea set."
Not long after, the stream did indeed bring a set of tea set made out of purple sand, as well as a small stove and a pot of water.
"Let me do it!" Ye Yuning said with a smile, and then took the tea set and instructed Fei Xiu to make a stove to boil the water.
Boiling water, washing the pot, making the tea, Ye Yuning's movements were fluid and smooth. As soon as the scalding tea entered the pot, it immediately released waves of fragrance.
"Tie Guanyin, Divided Heart Tie Guanyin, and Cyan Heart Tie Guanyin. This is the new version of this year's Cyan Heart Tie Guanyin. My father specially ordered someone to bring it from Fuzhou. Please have a taste." Ye Yuning gestured to invite her in.
Tie Guanyin was divided into three types based on the production process. What Ye Yuning liked the most was a sweet taste, the tea broth was clear and fragrant, the tip of her nose was surrounded by the fragrance of flowers, and it was intoxicating before she could even taste it.
He picked up the cup and took a sip. It tasted good and had a hint of sweetness in the mouth. Then, the fragrance of Tie Guanyin's unique tea filled his mouth, lingering for a long time. Ye Yuning squinted his eyes in satisfaction and took another sip.
She likes to drink tea, and she likes only green tea.
Tie Guanyin would normally ferment his Black Dragon, while the others would drink rich, sweet alcohol, and heavy tea, but Ye Yuning had gone the other way and purposely asked people to ferment this unique green tea.
"It is indeed different from the others, Third Miss Ye truly has unique insights!" Shen Yunxing drank half a cup, then nodded and praised.
"I don't know much about tea, but it doesn't sound bitter, so it's not bad." Jiang Guqi said as he held his teacup.
"Playing the lute to the cow." Ye Yuning said snappily as she turned to chat with Qin Du'er. There was always endless talk between the two of them about clothes, jewelry, and spices.
When Qin Du'er heard that Ye Yuning and Mrs Tang were going to open a spice shop in the capital together, she could not help but widely open her eyes, "Little sister Ye, you're so awesome!"
"No, it's just that I owe Mrs Tang a favor. I don't understand anything, the specifics are all done by my mother and Mrs Tang." Ye Yuning said humbly.
Qin Du'er's eyes were filled with stars as she grabbed Ye Yuning's hand and said excitedly: "Then when I arrive at the capital in the future, can it be cheaper to buy spices from your shop?"
Ye Yuning nodded happily, then asked: "You want to go to Beijing?"
Qin Du'er blushed, hesitated for a bit, and nodded: "My second uncle left the capital this year, and wrote a few times asking me to stay for a while, and now it's already dragging on, I don't have much time left at home … …"
