He took the young master's hand away from rubbing his eyes, wiped it with a towel, and then said, "Let's eat something to fill our stomachs first, and then go to father-in-law's place to sleep, okay?"
"Okay, let's go." The young master woke up a little and cooperated with Han Xiao's movements, quickly putting on his clothes.
Today, Han Xiao dressed the young master in a dark red robe with large peony flowers embroidered on it with gold thread.
When the young master put it on, he looked even more wealthy.
Han Xiao nodded with satisfaction. Today he was wearing the same color as the young master, secretly a couple's outfit.
After eating some porridge and buns, Han Xiao took the young master by the hand and got on the carriage to go to the Ruan family.
When he went out, he met Han Mingyuan. Han Mingyuan knew that Han Xiao would come out at this time, so he waited there.
After seeing Han Xiao, he handed him a package: "These are the cakes made by your mother. Bring some to your in-laws."
Han Xiao nodded and took it: "Okay, Dad, you can go back quickly."
The two families have a good relationship, so they often give each other a portion of delicious food.
After getting on the carriage, the young master began to drool as he looked at the package in Han Xiao's hand.
Han Xiao changed the direction of the package, and sure enough, the young master's head also changed the direction.
"Do you like it so much?" Han Xiao said with a smile.
The young master felt that he was being teased by Han Xiao and was very angry.
But he really wanted to eat it. The pastries made by Han's mother were the best, but pastries were difficult to digest, so Chuyi ordered the young master not to eat too much.
I can only eat one piece occasionally.
Han Xiao knew that the young master was very greedy, but he still hardened his heart and didn't give him any.
The angry young master didn't want to pay any attention to him. If he didn't give it to him, then so be it. He would go to his father to ask for it later.
Anyway, these are given to dad by mom. Dad loves me so much, he will definitely give them to me.
When the carriage arrived at the Ruan family, Mr. and Mrs. Ruan were waiting at the door.
Even Ruan Xiuran was pulled out of bed by Mrs. Ruan.
Ruan Xiuran was leaning against the stone lion at the door, yawning and saying, "Dad, why did you wake us up so early? You know my brother wants to sleep in."
Mrs. Ruan gave him a cold look and said, "Ruan Xiuran, don't force me to slap you on New Year's Day."
Ruan Xiuran suddenly fell silent and didn't dare to say anything. When his father said he would slap him, he meant it.
Looking at the family of three walking in front, Han Xiao shook his head and put his arm around Ruan Xiuran's shoulders and followed closely behind them: "Let's go in together."
Ruan Xiuran nodded, then ordered the housekeeper to take back all the things Han Xiao brought.
After the young master returned to the Ruan family, he kept sticking to Mrs. Ruan, and the father and son never stopped talking.
Even Mr. Ruan couldn't get a word in, so he had no choice but to take Han Xiao and the other person to the study.
Han Xiao also brought the tea that the old monk gave him, because he knew that Mr. Ruan liked tea.
"Father-in-law, please try this today." Han Xiao handed a small bag of tea to the maid serving beside him.
Mr. Ruan and Ruan Xiuran looked at Han Xiao in confusion, not understanding why Han Xiao only brought such a small bag of tea.
"What kind of tea is this? Why is there only so little?" Ruan Xiuran and Han Xiao were already very familiar with each other, so Han Xiao was not surprised at all when he asked this question.
Han Xiao didn't say anything at first, just smiled mysteriously and asked the maid to get some mountain spring water and boil it as soon as possible.
Seeing Han Xiao looking so mysterious, Master Ruan and Ruan Xiuran also looked over.
Han Xiao slowly brewed tea, then waited until the mountain spring water boiled before pouring it into the cup. Suddenly, a rich plum fragrance filled the air.
My mind, which had been a little confused at first, suddenly became much clearer.
Although Ruan Xiuran didn't drink tea much, he knew that this tea was probably hard to come by, no wonder there was so little of it.
Mr. Ruan's eyes widened, the flesh on his face twitching. He pushed Han Xiao aside, picked up the teacup himself, took a sip, and said in a trembling voice, "This...is this Qiong Meilu???"
Han Xiao didn't know what this tea was called, he just knew it tasted good, so he accepted it shamelessly.
I didn't expect Mr. Ruan's reaction to be so big.
"Qiong Meilu? Is that the name of this tea?" Ruan Xiuran asked curiously.
Master Ruan nodded, then looked up at Han Xiao: "Did you meet the abbot of Guoan Temple?"
Han Xiao looked at Mr. Ruan in surprise and nodded. He didn't expect that just because of this tea, Mr. Ruan could know who he met.
Seeing Han Xiao nod, Master Ruan patted Han Xiao on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Good boy, you can actually make the State Master give this Qiongmeilu to you."
"What's the origin of this Qiong Mei Lu?" Han Xiao asked when he saw Mr. Ruan's big reaction.
Ruan Xiuran also looked at his father curiously.
Master Ruan carefully picked up the teacup and took a sip. Then his eyes lit up. "It's really good tea. It's better than any other tea I've ever had. It's a pity there's only this much."
Besides, Han Xiao's way of soaking hair is simply a waste.
Anyway, these were given to him by Han Xiao, so he simply put away the remaining small package carefully and asked the housekeeper to put it away.
"This Qiongmeilu is extremely precious because there is only one tea tree, and it grows on a steep cliff, making it very difficult to pick. More importantly, this tea tree is said to be over 500 years old. Listening to the morning and evening bells of Guoan Temple every day, it has long since gained consciousness and can transform into a beautiful woman..."
Listening to Master Ruan's explanation, Han Xiao was half-believing and half-doubting. Although the tea was indeed very good, it was not as magical as he said. All the demons and monsters came out.
Seeing that Han Xiao and Ruan Xiuran didn't believe it, Master Ruan didn't force them. He just treated it as a legend he told them. These young people didn't understand the preciousness of Qiong Meilu.
Although this legend is exaggerated in some ways, it is also intended to highlight the preciousness and rarity of Qiongmeilu.
"Then why does this tea have a plum fragrance?" Han Xiao was very puzzled.
"Look at this..." Mr. Ruan shook the tea leaves in the cup a few times, revealing a flower bud that looked very similar to tea leaves. If you looked closely, you would really think it was tea leaves.
"This is called the Green Calyx Plum. The fragrance of the plum blossom comes from it. It has high medicinal value and is said to have the effect of prolonging life."
Han Xiao and Ruan Xiuran were stunned after hearing this. It took them a long time to carefully drink their own cups. Such a precious thing must not be wasted.
I thought I had left a little bit, so I would give it to the young master to drink when the time comes.
It’s a pity that there are too few, Han Xiao thought with a bit of regret.
From what Master Yuan Xin said, even the old monk didn't have much of this Qiong Mei Lu, so he couldn't be so shameless as to ask for it.
The three of them were discussing the tea issue in the study until the maid asked them to go to the main hall to eat at noon.
"Let's go, let's go eat first. This is Chinese New Year, and we've prepared all the dishes you like."
Han Xiao smiled and said, "I'm sorry to trouble you, father-in-law."
