Chapter 17: Tea Tasting
"Old lady, this tea has just been boiled, it may be a little hot, you must be careful when you drink it." Xiahou Ying said to Situ Danfeng with a well-behaved face.
Situ Danfeng nodded with a calm face, but did not drink, but looked at Mama Zhao, who was standing aside and had just made tea with Xiahou Ying.
Mama Zhao saw the old lady's inquiring gaze towards her, the expression on her face moved a few times, and finally nodded at the old lady.
Seeing Mama Zhao nodding, the old lady was stunned at first, then frowned slightly, moved the teacup to her mouth suspiciously, lowered her head and took a sip.
At the entrance of the tea soup, a familiar taste immediately enveloped Situ Danfeng's taste buds, with a bit of sweetness in the bitterness, a little osmanthus aroma in the sweetness, and a little sour aftertaste. The taste of this tea is exactly the same as that made by his grandchildren when he was born!
Xiahou Yu looked at the ever-changing expression on his grandmother's face, clenched his fists with some excitement, and just waited for his grandmother to smash the tea cup on the ugly monster in front of him, and then drive him out of Xiahou Mansion!
However, after waiting for a long time, Situ Danfeng never moved, as if the whole person was stunned. Xiahou Yu couldn't help but turn his head to look at his mother inexplicably, but unfortunately, he was facing the same pair of suspicious eyes.
And just when Xiahou Yu couldn't bear it and wanted to ask, Situ Danfeng made a move that Xiahou Yu and Luo Qiyue didn't expect. She actually raised her head directly and drank the whole bowl of soothing tea, and then hugged the well-behaved and quiet girl in front of her, but with an ugly face.
"Ying'er! Oh my Ying'er! Situ Danfeng, who cried bitterly, completely lost the majesty of the old lady of the Guogong Mansion at this time. Holding this thin little body in her arms, she just wanted to vent all her grief for the loss of her granddaughter. The tragedy of the white-haired person sending the black hair made her physically and mentally exhausted when she was over half a hundred years old, and although Situ Danfeng also showed sadness, she was still trying to restrain her emotions more. However, at this moment, the familiar taste of the mansion evoked all her past memories, her most cherished granddaughter died at the age of 14, and she couldn't afford such bad news at all......
Similarly, how could Xiahou Ying, who was held in her grandmother's arms, not be sad at this time? From now on, she had to leave her closest family and embark on a completely different path from the past. Seeing her grandmother crying for herself, Xia Houying felt a little more guilty in her heart. It is true that the reason why she wants Lu Wanxin to be her "former friend" is to give herself a chance to continue her filial piety. But isn't everything you do today taking advantage of your grandmother's love for you? Use this love to pave the way for the future of "Lu Wanxin...... Although Xia Houying was unwilling in her heart, she had no choice. The current Lu Wanxin is just a grass that can't sway in the wind, and only by leaning on the big tree of the Guogong Mansion can she have the opportunity to wind up and soar into the sky!
Under the persuasion of everyone in the house, Situ Danfeng finally calmed down, and slowly let go of Xiahou Ying who was holding him tightly in his arms, but his hands still refused to leave Xiahou Ying's arms, "Good boy, listen well," Situ Danfeng looked at Xiahou Ying with a serious face, and said word by word, "From now on, you are my Situ Danfeng's goddaughter, as long as I am there for a day, I will definitely protect you!" ”
