Chapter 33. Aged Tea Aged Tea



Because of his nonsense, Zhu forced Yurong to learn cooking for more than a month, even though she clearly could not succeed. In the end, she was deceived by him again. Yurong was really in tears.

"Grandma, how about this one?" Bitao showed Yurong a peach pink cross-collared skirt.

Yurong nodded, "Then let's take this one. Bring the perfume powder as well."

The kiss marks on my neck and chest are so scary that I can’t go out without covering them up.

After all, Bitao and Lamei had some affairs, so their faces were flushed. Yurong changed her clothes, put an exquisite little crown on her bun, and tidied herself up before going to pay her respects to Madam Wei.

It rained heavily the day before yesterday when they got married. The weather cleared up a little yesterday, but it snowed again today. Lamei took out a white fox fur cape for Yurong to put on. It was made for Yurong by the King Han's palace when she went there last year. It was still very new because she had never worn it.

The fourth branch of the Yang family was not wealthy and did not have such expensive furs, but living in such a wealthy family, if one's clothes were not good, it would be easy for others to look down on them. This has been the truth since ancient times: clothes make the man, and saddles make the horse.

"Pin it with a golden butterfly, it will look nice." Yurong also began to accessorize herself with some small accessories.

Because she really found that Wei Xuanning was good at dressing. All her clothes were unique, especially those expensive little accessories and makeup that added the finishing touch.

Wei Xuanning, who was waiting for her at the door, saw her golden butterfly, frowned, and immediately took it off as if he had seen something dirty.

Yurong was puzzled. "This was given to me by my elders. Is it really that ugly?"

"Do you want me to tell the truth?" Wei Xuanning glanced at her nonchalantly.

Yurong was helpless: "Okay, okay, but this fox fur is too plain white?"

Wei Xuan just frowned and ignored her.

The two of them went to Ruixuan Hall where Old Madam Wei was staying. Before they went in, they saw Yanjun coming out. She came happily and said, "Brother, sister-in-law, why are you here just now? I've been waiting for a while."

Yurong glanced at Wei Xuanning. The meaning couldn't be simpler. Didn't you say yesterday that the elders' criticism was your fault? Now it's your turn.

Wei Xuanning knew that what he did yesterday was indeed a bit excessive, so he said to Wei Yanjun: "I got up late today."

After he said this, Wei Yanjun didn't ask any more questions.

In the Wei family, Wei Xuanning is definitely the most favored child. Even though Wei Yanjun is Chen's biological daughter, she has to stand back when it comes to Wei Xuanning's affairs.

The two of them went in and paid their respects again. It was much quieter here today. Madam Song had already gone back to her husband's home, and only Zhou Ziying and Chen were here to accompany Madam Wei.

"Get up." Madam Wei raised her hand and said to Xuan Ning, "Have you finished your breakfast? If you haven't finished it, I just sent you some taro cakes. Would you like to have some?"

Wei Xuanning waved his hands and said, "I have already eaten. Thank you, grandma."

After bowing and greeting, he tasted a little tea and frowned, "Aged tea?"

Immediately, everyone in the room looked at each other in confusion. Old Madam Wei looked at Madam Zhu and asked, "What kind of tea is this?"

Nanny Zhu said hurriedly, "Dong'er sent it. She said it was specially sent by the tea room."

"Why was it stale tea that was specially delivered?" Zhou Ziying was shaking with anger. She had just been in charge of the household these days and could not make the slightest mistake.

Mrs. Wei waved her hand and said, "Please change another cup."

But Wei Xuanning immediately said, "No need. I have something else to do today. I'll leave first."

He left as soon as he said he would. When he left, Mrs. Wei was obviously dissatisfied with Zhou Ziying, but she was not a vulgar woman who would immediately speak ill of her daughter-in-law. But everyone could still see her cold expression.

Yurong was really impressed by this operation. Wei Xuanning's status in the Wei family is really high.

After coming back to her senses, Chen began to pull Yurong and said, "Xuan Ning has always been picky about food. He only drinks new tea and never old tea. He won't drink Cuifeng tea. You should prepare more Yulu tea and Longjing tea."

Yurong took a breath and said, "Yes, I've made a note of it."

Throughout the whole process, except for Wei Yanjun who occasionally pouted, everyone else had already gotten used to it. They never reflected on the fact that Wei Xuanning had gone too far, but instead thought that it was the servants who did not serve them well.

Yurong was really enlightened. She spent the whole time talking about what kind of tea Xuanning would like to drink next time. Old Madam Wei even asked Nanny Zhu to bring tea to her so that she would not let Wei Xuanning drink stale tea.

The snow outside was getting heavier. Everyone chatted for a few words, and Zhou Ziying arranged the return ceremony, and then everyone dispersed.

As soon as he returned to Wutong Garden, Master Wei did not look sad at all. He was lying on the couch reading a book leisurely, not realizing at all that he had done anything wrong.

Yurong dismissed the servants and said, "I thought you really left because of something. Just now, grandmother and aunts were very worried and told me to pay special attention to your meals."

There was certainly dissatisfaction in her tone, but Wei Xuanning said, "You don't have to, I have someone to serve you."

"Then what should I do?" Yurong originally thought that after getting married, especially marrying Wei Xuanning as her daughter-in-law, since he was the eldest son of the clan, the burden on her shoulders would be even heavier. However, she did not expect that the Wei family was not large, and although there were many rules and regulations, it seemed quite comfortable.

Wei Xuanning glanced at her: "What else can you do?" He raised the book in his hand, "Would you like to read?"

He still looked down on Yurong a little bit, after all, the storybook had done her too much harm.

Yurong looked at the title page and laughed: "What's so good about this? I know you are very knowledgeable, but these books look very pretentious."

Wei Xuanning almost choked on her saliva and thought to himself, she really dares to say anything.

"Let me tell you why I say pretend. This book claims to be comparable to the "Records of the Grand Historian", but it contains many fabrications. It looks high-sounding, but in fact it is biased. It describes everything as thick-skinned and treacherous, just like the relationship between Lord Sun and General Mo. They are obviously a good match between the king and the minister, but they insist on saying that the cunning rabbit dies and the running dog is cooked. Don't you think it's funny? Not all powerful people are conspirators. Perhaps wise people will appreciate and respect each other."

This book called "Tai Xu Gong Ji" is highly praised by scholars. But Yurong said that most of the content is fabricated and far-fetched.

"Also, the higher-ups highly praise that Empress Murong. In fact, if you look up the books about the dynasty at that time, you will know that Empress Murong is not simple at all. They say that she only adorns herself with silk and cloth flowers, but in fact, if you look at her expenses, her pearl jewelry is many times more than that of other empresses. This book is contrived and pretentious, and uses the style of the Spring and Autumn Period. You should read less, lest people lose their faith."

This was really a nice thing to say. Wei Xuanning had already slowly put down his book when she said this and looked at her with a very strange look, "You are quite interesting."

There are very few girls who have studied this kind of book so thoroughly that they can hit the point in just a few words.

But he still said: "But now the scholars are very supportive, so I have to take a look anyway."

You wanted to act cool in front of me but failed, right? Yurong complained silently in her heart.

However, Wei Xuanning's criticism today might be because of herself. No matter what, she still has to thank him.

So, she personally poured tea for Wei Xuanning and said, "Then I will read with you."

Wei Xuanning raised his eyebrows, "That's right, I have servants, you just need to accompany me, come, let's read together, don't think about those household chores."

This……

Yurong was confused. Wasn't she here to be a clan wife? How could she be so worldly? Are you kidding?
