Shi Lan's face, as delicate as a flower blooming in the spring breeze, instantly broke into a joyful smile as she rose to greet him as he entered.
Bu Mingbo sat down, and before he could speak, Dou'er placed the teacup on the table beside him and gestured to him.
Bu Mingbo was always elegant and refined in public. Even when he was just talking to the maid, he smiled and gestured, then raised his teacup and took a sip.
Shi Lan smiled and asked, "Can you tell what kind of tea this is, sir?"
Bu Mingbo pursed his lips, took another sip, and said, "The tea soup is slightly cloudy and not clear, but the leaves are emerald green and open like bamboo shoots. I guess it must be Guzhu Zisun, but the quality is probably not very good."

Bu Mingbo drank about half a cup before putting it down and taking out a small lacquered wooden box from his sleeve.
