Chapter 197: Peach Blossom Tea
After a few days of light rain, Qianlingwo did not go out at home, nor did she go to the study on the dome of the sacred tree. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Lan Feng is probably thundering right now...... Even if you go to the study, you will probably be thrown out.
She nestled on the bed wrapped in a quilt, like a snail showing her head, looking out the window at the faint rain that reflected the lantern fire.
Don't want to go out...... Don't want to go to the study.
As soon as I see Lan Feng, I think of a certain fool, and when I think of it, I get angry.
Qianling bit her lip and pulled the quilt over to cover her head.
No matter what...... How is love?
The room was quiet, and the white veil in front of the window was stained with crystal rain mist, gently flickering, faintly revealing the hazy fire of the lantern outside the window.
Suddenly, an upside-down head appeared outside the window like an upside-down bat, and its bright red eyes seemed to have been washed by the rain, quietly staring at the girl wrapped in a big snail in the room, blinking.
The black membranous wings converged at the side, and a slender tail spur swayed gently, paused slightly, and hung down, and the sharp tip of the tail was warily cocked.
Xiao Jiu lay on the ground in front of Qianling's bed, dozing quietly...... A pair of dark red beast pupils suddenly opened and looked out the window.
The drizzle was drizzling, the rain and fog were blurred, and the lantern fire reflected the light rain that was falling obliquely, and there was nothing else.
Tilting its head, it stared out the window without blinking. Drowsiness hit, slowly yawned lazily, and continued to sleep comfortably.
Afternoon.
The rain is slanting and falling, and several verdant potted plants in front of the eaves are "ticking and ticking" like a small song, dripping with clear raindrops.
Qianling stood in front of the door, holding a bag in her arms. Li Jing stood next to her, put away the transparent umbrella in her hand, and knocked lightly on the door.
The door opens.
A small head poked out, and a pair of black cat ears shook flexibly.
The little boy looked at the two of them, blinked slightly, the clear green cat pupils were full of crystal light, and he turned back to the room happily and shouted, "It's Sister Li Jing and Sister Qianling!"
"Xiaonuo, I haven't seen you for a few days, why do I think you've grown taller again?" Li Jing leaned down to look at him, reached out and rubbed his head, grinning.
"What," the black cat's ears trembled slightly, he pouted and avoided the hand that rubbed his head, his expression was very serious, "I'm not a bamboo shoot, where do I grow so fast......"
"Arnold is like a little bamboo shoot. Qianling looked at him and smiled softly.
Xiao Nuo raised his eyes to look at her and pouted: "Sister Li Jing talks nonsense all day long, even Sister Xiaoling laughs at me." ā
Qianling smiled and couldn't help but reach out and rub his hairy head: "Who laughed at you, the little bamboo shoots are so cute." ā
"yes, that's cute. Li Jing leaned over and pinched his face.
Xiao Nuo watched the two of them pinch his face and rub his head, his little face was slightly red, he turned around and hurriedly ran towards the house, a black cat tail wagging gently behind him.
"Poof, I lasted 5 seconds today before I ran away, 2 seconds more than yesterday, there is progress!" Li Jing laughed, looking successful.
Qianling looked at the back of the little boy who hurriedly ran away, and smiled lightly.
This is the normal reaction of a normal child, unlike some people, who always look at people with helpless eyes even though they are children.
She paused, the smile on her lips dissipated silently, and she shook her head vigorously with a straight face.
The raindrops under the window are interspersed, like a crystal bead curtain hanging down, making a ticking sound.
At the head of the bed is a verdant green potted plant, adding a touch of joy to the dark light.
The old cat grandmother was lying on the bed, heard a gentle knock on the door, slowly opened her eyes, and showed a kind smile on her old face, raised her hand and beckoned to the door, her voice was gentle:
"A-Jing, Xiaoling, come, come here. ā
"Grandma Tao, I haven't come to see you for a few days, how are you doing these days?" Qianling sat down on the chair at the head of the bed and opened the bag in her arms, "This is a new pastry made by Li Xi, there is a peach blossom cake you like, try it." ā
"It's hard for you to make a peach blossom cake for me every time, and thank Ah Xi for me. Grandma Peach looked at the delicately patterned five-petal peach blossom cake in her hand, smiled and reached out to take it.
The old man's hand trembled uncontrollably, and gradually the crumbs spilled a lot on the bedside.
"IāI'll feed you. Qianling paused and stood up.
With trembling hands, she put the cake back into the girl's hand, and Grandma Peach slowly shook her head: "People are old, things are unstable, and their appetite is not good." I can't eat much, don't waste it, let's keep it for Xiaonuo. ā
Li Jing shook the bag lightly, with a smile on her face: "It's okay, there are many more here, if that guy Xiaonuo eats it all in one go, it will be broken." ā
Qianling looked at the grandmother in front of her who was smiling kindly and waving her hand gently, slowly sat back on the chair, took the bag, and put the peach blossom cake back.
"Speaking of which, it's a rainy day today, why do you two think about coming to my old woman?" Grandma Tao smiled and looked at Qianling who was sitting quietly on the bedside chair, "Xiaoling, I remember that you are the only one of us who has found a job at the bottom of this valley, and you are very busy every day, why didn't you go to work today?"
Qianling paused, looked up at the old man, and showed a smile: "Today...... As for the break, the boss gave me a holiday. ā
Grandma Tao smiled and couldn't help nodding: "That's good, that's good." In this demon territory, we have always been discriminated against, no one wants to accept it, and no one wants to hire it. When I first found out that you had found a job, I was worried that the boss would have other plans, but now it seems that I am too worried. ā
Qianling looked at the reassurance and relaxation in the old man's eyes, and her heart suddenly warmed, and she smiled softly:
"You don't have to worry, I'm good, A-Jing is good, we're not children anymore, we know how to protect ourselves. You should take care of yourself. ā
Grandma Peach looked at her and nodded slightly, with a gentle smile on her old face all the time.
"The tea is ready. The voice was brisk and immature, and it sounded from the door.
Xiao Nuo walked in with two cups of freshly brewed tea and handed them to Qianling and Li Jing respectively.
"Oh, you can also make tea, this little clever ghost!" Li Jing's eyes widened in surprise, and she took a sip of tea, her eyes widened, "This is peach blossom tea? It tastes great!
The black cat's ears were lightly cocked, and Xiaonuo stood by the bed, smiling softly, and a soft black cattail shook gently behind him.
Qianling looked at the soft peach blossoms floating lightly in the steaming tea, lowered her head and sniffed lightly, and the fragrant and pleasant breath suddenly filled her nose.
"This peach blossom was collected and dried this spring, and now it comes in handy. Grandma Tao watched them drink one sip after another, and smiled softly, "The tea has to be drunk slowly to taste the taste, you two girls are not afraid of burning so fast?"
The two of them just lowered their heads and drank tea, and kept shaking their heads.
Grandma Tao looked at the two of them, and every wrinkle on her old face seemed to have a smile on it.
"Speaking of which, Grandma Peach ......" Qianling drank a full third of it in one go, looked up at the old man on the bed with a teacup, tilted her head slightly, and showed a little curiosity in her eyes, "You seem to like peach blossom-related things very much, you look at the peach blossom crisp, peach blossom tea, and the peach blossom pudding you made when you were in the Yinfeng River Valley before......"
"That's why it's called 'Grandma Peach'. Li Jing drank all the peach blossom tea in one go, and handed the teacup to Xiao Nuo, blinking like a squirrel begging for a pine cone.
