Lotus tea?

Several people on the shore were stunned for a moment, none of them had heard of it. But judging by the name, one should know what this tea is.

Liu Tang's eyes were bright as he looked at the handsome men and beautiful women on the bow of the boat in the water with admiration: Lu Saburo and Sister Luo are really amazing, it seems like they can use anything to make a fuss.

Mrs. Lu looked at the lotus flower on the bow and didn't comment. But lotus tea... Mrs. Lu thought of the lake where all the lotus flowers had been picked and the lake was bare, so she reminded them, "Ahem, you two just need to pick two flowers, don't pick all the flowers. Even if you want to make some 'lotus tea', don't forget the flower viewing banquet in two days. If all the lotus flowers are gone, what's the point of viewing flowers?"

Mrs. Lu could see with her own eyes that the handsome man sitting on one leg with a leisurely look on his face raised his eyebrows slightly after hearing what she said. Lu Yun was noble and cold, but he curled his lips and seemed to smile, but he didn't say anything.

Luo Lingyu pursed her lips and smiled softly. Seeing that Mrs. Lu and her group were confused, she explained softly, "Lotus tea is not tea made by picking lotus flowers. My husband and I looked up ancient books and tried to restore the tea in the books. It said that a small amount of tea leaves were wrapped in gauze and placed in a blooming lotus. The heart of the flower opens in the morning and closes at night. Dew falls on the flower at night, and the water soaks into the tea leaves in the gauze bag. In the morning, the tea leaves are taken out from the closed flower overnight and then brewed. This is 'lotus tea'."

Liu Tang's eyes widened. Hearing such a novel statement for the first time, he exclaimed softly, "You guys... have read so many books that you even know such obscure ones."

Luo Lingyu smiled and said modestly, "This is the first time I know this, too. My husband found it in a book... I happened to have nothing to do this afternoon, so I wanted to give it a try."

Mrs. Lu blushed suddenly, and she understood why Lu Sanlang was half-smiling just now - Lu Yun, who was so aloof, was probably laughing at her in his heart. If it weren't for Luo Lingyu's explanation, Mrs. Lu would have been ridiculed by Lu Yun in her heart for a long time, and she didn't know what Lu Yun was laughing at.

...This Saburo!

Seeing that Mrs. Lu looked unhappy and embarrassed, Luo Lingyu immediately acted ignorant and added with a smile: "When my husband and I develop this tea, we will definitely give it to my aunt to taste."

Mrs. Lu looked better and nodded. But she turned her head to look at Princess Liu Tang who was looking at her with envy, and her heart skipped a beat. Liu Tang looked at the two people on the lake with envy and respect. Mrs. Lu coughed several times, but the little princess was reluctant to leave. Mrs. Lu was extremely helpless and once again full of resentment towards her son who had not returned for a long time.

Why is the gap between people so big?

Not only is Sanlang a famous scholar, he also takes interesting things from strange books to please his wife and have fun with her. In the hot summer, he still has the leisure to study tea.

Her son is a fool and has no idea how to please his future daughter-in-law.

...No wonder when staying at the Lu family, a beauty like Luo Lingyu fell in love with Lu Yun instead of Lu Xian.

After Lu Xian came back, he was severely scolded by his mother. He felt guilty for a while and claimed that he would compensate the princess. But Lu Xian did not have much time to develop a relationship with his fiancée before marriage, because soon, the Lu family and the royal family set a date for the marriage of Lu Erlang and Princess Ningping, which was next month. A little confused, when Lu Erlang Lu Xian accepted everyone's congratulations, he suddenly remembered that he seemed to have forgotten Hengyang Prince Liu Mu.

He agreed to use the marriage congratulations as an excuse to get His Majesty to agree to Liu Mu's return to Jianye.

It was a summer evening with a drizzle. Lu Xian paced in his study, thinking about how to write this memorial. The rain was heavy and there were two knocks on the door. Lu Xian opened the door and saw Lu Yun and Luo Lingyu standing at the door in the dark.

The raindrops dripped, and the two wore straw raincoats and hats, looking like beautiful women. Without a maid accompanying them, Luo Lingyu carried a lantern, and Lu Yun carried a basket. To Lu Xian's surprise, Lu Yun held out the basket and brought the so-called "lotus tea". Luo Lingyu explained, "I promised my aunt to send you 'lotus tea' a few days ago. Second brother, try it. If it tastes good, we will bring it again."

Lu Xian: "You guys..."

Before Lu Erlang could finish, Lu Sanlang interrupted him calmly: "Lingyu and I will not stay any longer. We have to give some of the remaining tea to other elders."

Lu Yun looked down at Luo Lingyu, his eyes full of tenderness. Luo Lingyu was such a good person, and he happened to be at home, so he naturally had to accompany her on a special trip. It couldn't be that the Lu family really thought that Lu Sanlang didn't value his wife, right?

When Lu Yun lowered his head to glance around, Luo Lingyu covered her face and smiled, her eyes like water, gently brushing against Lu Sanlang. The two looked at each other vaguely, and then looked away inadvertently. When Lu Yun lowered his head to straighten Luo Lingyu's straw raincoat, his sleeve gently brushed the girl's wet cheek. The mist was thick and the rain was heavy. Luo Lingyu's eyes moved away, but then came back again, her eyes fell on Lu Yun.

Lu Yun suddenly raised his eyes to look at her. She pursed her lips and smiled, just watching how he held her straw raincoat and hat, but she didn't move at all and didn't help at all.

Lu Erlang watched his wife and husband walk together in the rain, and then slowly leave in the rain.

The raindrops dripped and gurgled like a stream, falling on the moss, splashing water like lotus flowers.

The backs of the young man and woman walking away gracefully in the dark night were surrounded by a mist, like those of gods.

The night rain was cold but continued. Lu Erlang smiled slightly, closed the door, and returned to his desk to continue writing his memorial. He revised it after finishing it, constantly touching up the color, just for a memorial that could win Liu Mu a chance to return to the capital. He was tired from revising and fell asleep at his desk.

Raindrops were dripping outside the window at night. Feeling groggy, he continued the half-finished dream of his previous one.

Chapter 136

In the dream, Lu Erlang got married. Just as Lu Erlang promised, he joined forces with a group of doctors and persuaded His Majesty to allow Liu Mu, the Prince of Hengyang, to return to Jianye. However, due to insufficient preparation, when the imperial edict was issued, Lu Erlang's marriage had already passed.

Liu Mu waited at the border, but what he first received was not the imperial edict to summon him back to the capital, but bandits on the border and the Northern Kingdom's army coming back again.
