Chapter 196: Fragrant Tea

Second Master Liu, Second Mrs. Liu, and Rong Chenghan talked to themselves, and no one looked at Liu Ruoxi. The hairy claws of the snow tuanyue stretched closer and closer, and Liu Ruoxi had to dodge back and forth with the title deed. Xuetuan meowed happily, thinking that Liu Ruoxi was teasing it.

Liu Ruoji held down the snow ball and glanced at the title deed. The peach orchard in the north of the city is one of the several famous gardens in Beijing, and it is named because there are thousands of famous peach trees planted in the garden. Every spring, the peach blossoms are in full bloom, and it is the most beautiful time of year in the garden. In autumn, you can harvest plenty of fresh peaches. It is a good industry, and it was rewarded to Rong Chenghan by the emperor. Liu Ruoxi saw that everyone ignored the title deed, and she liked the snowball very much, and she was playful for a while, and there was a purse next to it, so Liu Ruoxi simply put the title deed into the purse, so that she was not afraid that the snow group would break the title deed.

Liu Ruoxi put her purse on the kang and let the snow tuan bite and scratch, having a lot of fun. The topic of a few people over there is still talking about this peach orchard at the moment.

“…… I appreciated this peach orchard for no reason...... "Second Master Liu is saying.

"There's a reason." Rong Chenghan told Second Master Liu and Second Mrs. Liu that he was originally appointed as a martial artist, and according to the rules, and the emperor's own intention, he wanted to reward him with a mansion. “…… The original plan was to use the original house of Wu Shangshu in the wicker alley in the east of the city......"

It's just that before the emperor gave an order, the prince and princess of Yongjing in the palace of Yongjing first expressed different opinions. Prince Yongjing was not willing to allow Rong Chenghan to open a mansion to live by himself, and Princess Su was even more unwilling. Rong Chenghan left the capital at the age of thirteen, and only came back after so many years, the mother and son have gathered less and left more, if Rong Chenghan opens the mansion and goes out to live, then there will be fewer opportunities for the mother and son to meet, how to compare with living in the palace, everyone gets along with each other, and it is so convenient and affectionate.

Prince Yongjing told the emperor about this idea, and the princess Su also went to the palace on purpose, but the result was that the emperor's will to reward the mansion was not issued in the end. Rong Chenghan still lives in the palace.

Now, the palace is finally decided, and the mansion will not be rewarded to Rong Chenghan, so this peach orchard is also rewarded, which can be regarded as a reward in place of the mansion.

The scenery of this peach garden is quite good, there are pavilions and pavilions inside, and there are several courtyards, and it is not impossible for ordinary people to live in it, but it is too simple and slow as a Hou Mansion.

"It's also human nature...... Second Mrs. Liu said, this is to say that Prince Yongjing and the princess are unwilling to open another mansion for Rong Chenghan to live." After all. You're not married yet. If you get married in the future......"

Mrs. Liu didn't say anything, looking at Rong Chenghan, as if she had the intention of asking.

Rong Chenghan was silent for a while, seemingly reluctant, but the tone of his answer was still affirmative.

“…… If you get married, you still have to live in the house. ”

Second Mrs. Liu and Second Master Liu quickly exchanged glances, and they both nodded hurriedly.

"It should be, it should be." Second Mrs. Liu and Second Master Liu both said, and at the same time guessed in their hearts. There are many adults in the royal family. But there will always be times when the tree will branch widely. Now that the old prince is alive, he lives in the palace. But there will always be a day, if the old prince is gone, the palace is now the son of Rong Chengyi. At that time, it was not good for Rong Chenghan to continue to live in the palace.

It seems to be the case in principle, but as far as the Yongjing Royal Mansion is concerned, there is another problem that is a little complicated, and that is the princess Su.

Second Master Liu and Second Mrs. Liu temporarily suppressed the problem in their hearts. After all, it's too early to talk about it, and it's not quite right.

Soon, it was time for dinner. The little girl came in and replied, saying that the meal was ready, and asked if she wanted to set the meal, but Mrs. Liu nodded when she was busy, and ordered the meal to be set in her house. The little girl hurriedly withdrew to pass the word. The topic of Second Master Liu, Second Mrs. Liu and Rong Chenghan also came to an end.

Xuetuan grabbed the purse, and ran to Rong Chenghan's side at some point. At this time, it seemed that he was a little tired of this newly arrived toy, so Xuetuan jumped into Rong Chenghan's arms with his purse in his mouth. Rong Chenghan didn't say anything, took out the purse from Xuetuan's mouth and stuffed it into his sleeve. He seemed to know that his title deed was in this purse.

Liu Ruoxi was getting up and setting the meal, but she didn't pay attention for a while. Second Master Liu and Second Mrs. Liu seemed to see it, but they didn't say anything, or the two of them didn't see it at all.

After a while, the meal was served, and several people sat down one after another. There was a large plate in the center of the table, which was a steamed bear paw, which Rong Chenghan brought when he came, and Mrs. Liu ordered the kitchen to cook it immediately. A table of meals is naturally exquisite and sumptuous, and in addition, Mrs. Liu Er ordered someone to scald a pot of Jinhua wine, Mrs. Liu and Liu Ruoxi each ate a glass, and the rest were eaten by Liu Er and Rong Chenghan.

Although Master Liu Er is not good at drinking, if it is cold today, drinking some hot wine is good for his body. As for Rong Chenghan, he loves to drink and has a lot of alcohol, every time he comes, Mrs. Liu will definitely prepare a good wine to entertain.

Second Master Liu and Second Mrs. Liu don't regard Rong Chenghan as an outsider, Rong Chenghan himself is very comfortable here now, and everyone eats happily at a meal.

After the meal, the little girl brought hot tea. When Second Master Liu saw it, he shook his head.

"He'er, go take out some of the snow you buried at the beginning of this year, make tea, and give your third brother a taste." Second Master Liu said to Liu Ruoxi with a smile.

Hearing Second Master Liu say this, Rong Chenghan also put down the teacup in his hand and raised his eyes to look at Liu Ruoxi.

"I finally collected it, but my hands were red from the cold at that time, and there was only that jar." Liu Ruoxi sat still, not seeming to be very happy.

The jar of snow was the fresh snow she collected from the plum blossoms last winter, and she finally saved a jar and buried it under a plum tree in the backyard. Now that the second master Liu said that he wanted her to take it out and make tea for Rong Chenghan to drink, Liu Ruoxi naturally did not agree so easily.

"I naturally know it's not easy, and I don't want much," Second Master Liu smiled, with some flattery, "Just a cup to taste is enough." It's not for nothing that I want from you, don't you like that Wang Xizhi's copybook, and my father will take it out and give it to you. ”

Master Liu Er wants to use Wang Xizhi's authentic handwriting for a cup of tea made in snow water.

Mrs. Liu couldn't help but shake her head and smile beside her, and while looking at Rong Chenghan again, Rong Chenghan's mouth also had a smile that couldn't be hidden.

Originally, Second Master Liu wanted to drink tea, but Liu Ruoxi would not really disagree, and after hearing Second Master Liu say this, she had nothing to hesitate about, so she immediately nodded with a smile.

"Dad, you have to count when you speak." Liu Ruoxi couldn't help but laugh too.

"Naturally, I don't count when I speak. And you/mother and your third brother can testify here, and they will definitely not regret it. "Second Master Liu is quite authentic.

"I'll get the notebook in a moment."

"No problem, I'll give it to you." Second Master Liu is very generous.

Liu Ruoxi had no choice but to get up with a smile, take the little girl to the backyard, take out the jar from under the plum tree, open the seal, and personally boiled a pot of snow water with a small red clay stove, made tea and sent it over. Second Master Liu was very happy, and told Rong Chenghan to taste it slowly.

Rong Chenghan turned out to be very obedient, a cup of tea, and drank it for a long time.

After sending Rong Chenghan away, Second Master Liu and Second Mrs. Liu sent Liu Ruoxi back to their house, and the two of them closed the door, and they didn't know what to say, but they talked for a long time.

"Dad and Mom seem to be hiding something from me." Back in the embroidery building, Liu Ruoxi sat down on the kang and said with a slight frown.

"If the lord and wife can hide anything from the girl, even if there is anything, it is for the good of the girl." Mama Chang on the side smiled.

"Does Mama know something?" Liu Ruoxi immediately asked.

Mama Chang shook her head with a smile.

"The old slave is just saying a reason, the master and the wife can have anything to hide from the girl, there must be none."

Although Mama Chang said this, Liu Ruoxi was still a little suspicious, but she had no clue for a while, so she could only put it down temporarily. After a while, Liu Ruoshan came over, and the two played with the snow group for a long time, Liu Ruoshan suddenly remembered that Liu Ruoyuan wanted the needlework room to make big sweaters, so she told Liu Ruoshan.

"What a shame!" Liu Ruoshan said angrily, this is the last time Liu Ruoyuan made trouble with Mrs. Liu, and Liu Ruoshan was still angry, "The third sister told the second aunt quickly, but you can't indulge her, it's really infuriating." ”

"I told my mother, but we still have to think of a way." Liu Ruoshan said, while asking Liu Ruoshan to come closer, and lowered her voice and said so.

"That's good." When Liu Ruoshan heard this, she immediately smiled and said, "I'll tell my mother when I go back, I want to give them a good look this time." ”

The two of them had agreed and each was prepared not to mention it.

On this day, Mrs. Liu's second wife, Mrs. Liu's third, Liu Ruoxi, and Liu Ruoshan were all sitting at Mrs. Liu's place, and after talking for a while, they saw Liu Ruoyuan coming with a rage. Liu Ruojuan also brought two little girls to follow.

After entering the house, Liu Ruoyuan greeted Mrs. Liu, Mrs. Liu, Mrs. Liu, and Mrs. Liu, and sat down in front of Mrs. Liu.

"Old lady," Liu Ruoyuan hugged Old Lady Liu's knees, pouting and coquettish, "The eldest princess has sent someone here, and she will invite me to the Zhending Marquis Mansion tomorrow,...... It's such a cold day, but there are no suitable clothes to wear. ”

When Liu Ruoyuan said this, she glanced at Second Mrs. Liu and Liu Ruoyuan hatefully.

The eldest princess has been rumoring since the beginning of this year that she wants to find a family affair for Han Qing, but it is the end of the year, and Han Qing's family affair has not yet been decided. The eldest princess originally seemed to be most optimistic about the nine girls of the Dingyuan uncle's family, but the Dingyuan uncle's family took a fancy to Rong Chenghan, who had better conditions, for the nine girls, and insisted on going to the Yongjing Palace. The eldest princess had to make another plan, recently, the eldest princess showed an unusual affection for Liu Ruoyuan, the eldest girl of the Liu family, and had invited Liu Ruoyuan to speak alone twice in a row.
