Chapter 120 Getting the Antidote
An Ran felt a little embarrassed. She secretly regretted herself and blamed herself for being too impatient. She calmed herself down, fumbled for an exquisite wooden box from the small bag she was carrying, and then carefully opened it. She held the contents in both hands and handed them to Yun Reyue, saying softly:
"Master Yun, I'm so sorry! I was too impatient and aggressive. I hope you can forgive me. I also know that you have always studied the tea ceremony. Here are some tea leaves that I roasted myself. Please taste them."
When Yun Reyue heard this, she raised her eyebrows slightly and her eyes fell on the box of tea in An Ran's hand. He had a special liking for the tea ceremony, so when he saw An Ran doing this, he naturally became curious.
He stretched out his hand and gently took the box of tea. He first looked at it carefully, then put the box close to his nose and sniffed it gently. Then a look of surprise appeared on his face.
"Huh? I didn't expect you actually know how to roast tea leaves." Yun Reyue's voice was filled with a hint of excitement that was hard to conceal.
He couldn't wait to open the box and carefully observe the tea leaves inside. These tea leaves are emerald green in color, with even strips and exude bursts of fresh aroma. Just one look at it makes people feel relaxed and happy.
Yun Reyue was obviously very satisfied with this box of tea. He stood up and walked to the tea table beside him and started to fiddle with the tea set skillfully.
He lit the sandalwood charcoal in the incense burner, and when the fire grew strong, he began to boil water to make tea. His movements are graceful and smooth, like flowing water, which is pleasing to the eye.
After a while, the water boiled. Yun Reyue took a deep breath, intoxicated by the tea fragrance that permeated the air. He took a sip of the freshly brewed tea, then slowly closed his eyes, enjoying this rare delicacy.
After a long time, he finally slowly opened his eyes, with a satisfied smile on his lips, and exclaimed.
"The tea soup is clear and bright, without any impurities; the aroma is pure and elegant, refreshing; it tastes sweet and refreshing, with a long aftertaste. It is really a rare good tea!"
An Ran secretly breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that he liked it. She knew very well that people like Yun Reyue, who seemed gentle and kind, were actually eccentric and unsociable and extremely difficult to get along with. I was afraid that I might accidentally anger him and cause some unnecessary trouble.
An Ran replied with a smile: "It would be great if Master Yun likes it!"
Yun Reyue chuckled, stared at An Ran for a long time, and then spoke.
"You are quite clever, little girl. You must be trying to please me because you have something to ask of me. Otherwise, I'm afraid you wouldn't even bother to look at me."
Xiao Ze couldn't bear to see An Ran being wronged, so he quickly said, "Uncle Yun, since Ran'er has already paid the reward and sent a thank-you gift, please don't embarrass her anymore."
Yun Reyue looked up and glanced at Xiao Ze, and said, "You're protecting her so quickly. You may not be able to control this girl in the future."
When she first met them this time, Yun Reyue keenly realized that the relationship between the two was very different from the past.
"Hey, back then, I talked to your father about this and hoped that you could become the son-in-law of our Yun family."
Yun Reyue chuckled and said to Xiao Ze in a joking manner. When Xiao Ze heard this, his heart tightened, fearing that An Ran would be unhappy about it. A thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead. He looked at Yun Reyue anxiously and begged for mercy.
"Uncle Yun, please stop joking. You can't take this seriously! I hope you won't mention this matter again in the future."
Yun Reyue had never seen Xiao Ze begging so cautiously and desperately. You know, this kid has always been cold and aloof since he was a child, as if he disdains everyone.
"Hahaha... funny! Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore!"
Yun Reyue said with a big laugh. Then he took out an exquisite jade bottle from his arms, placed it gently on the coffee table, and explained.
"This is the antidote to the 'Beauty Sleep' poison. When you go home, boil three parts of licorice in water and drink it with her. The next day, she will wake up. However, because she has been sleeping for too long, she may feel weak in her hands and feet when she wakes up, but as long as she moves more, she will soon return to normal."
An Ran quickly reached out and picked up the jade bottle on the coffee table, holding it tightly in her hand. Her eyes were filled with gratitude, and she looked at Yun Reyue sincerely and thanked him.
"Thank you, Master Yun. I will never forget your kindness and will engrave it in my heart!"
"Haha, no need to thank me! You've already given me the reward, so we've settled the matter and we don't owe each other anything!"
Yun Reyue smiled slightly, slowly stood up and said.
"Now that the matter has been settled, I will take the lead."
As soon as he finished speaking, his figure floated away like a ghost and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye. Yun Reyue had just left, and An Ran and Xiao Ze were about to turn around and leave, but they saw a figure falling from the sky and landing steadily in the courtyard.
This person was Shui Furong. She looked around, her face extremely gloomy, and spoke angrily.
"Where did Yun Reyue go?"
Seeing this, Xiao Ze hurriedly stepped forward, bowed, and replied in a calm tone.
"Aunt Shui, Uncle Yun just left not long ago!"
Hearing Xiao Ze's answer, Shui Furong's face became more ferocious and terrifying. She waved her sleeves violently, and there was a loud "bang". The tea table in the courtyard was overturned to the ground, and the tea sets on the table also fell to the ground with a crackling sound, and broken porcelain pieces flew everywhere.
Shui Furong had no place to vent her anger, so in order to avoid her, he stayed in seclusion day and night. But now he has sneaked out to meet two insignificant people.
She was his wife, but he regarded her as a monster and avoided her as much as possible! He made himself a laughing stock to his hermit family.
Although she became the wife of the head of Yao Chi family, how could she not know that although the people of the hidden family flattered her on the surface, they all laughed at her behind her back for being shameless and refusing to accept her even if she was given to them!
Thinking of this, Shui Furong couldn't help but vent her anger on others. She suddenly looked at Xiao Ze and said in a cold tone.
"Young Master Xiao is very free now, and he comes to our Yaochi several times. I wonder what he is doing?"
"Aunt Shui's condition is serious, but my father asked Uncle Yun for help, so he asked me to come here."
Xiao Ze was not afraid of Shui Furong's anger at all, and answered neither arrogantly nor humbly.
"snort……."
Shui Furong snorted coldly, looked at Xiao Ze coldly, then flicked her sleeves and left! She knew in her heart that Xiao Wuwei and Yun Reyue were close friends. Although Yun Reyue had been in seclusion all these years, the connection between them had never been interrupted!
Xiao Ze silently watched Shui Furong's back gradually moving away, then turned around and looked at An Ran who was standing behind him, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"What's wrong?" Xiao Ze asked softly.
Since childhood, Anran has witnessed that her parents and the couples in the village all care for each other and live in harmony. Even if there are occasional disputes, they will quickly disappear.
However, she had never seen such a unique way of getting along as that of the Yun Reyue couple. Hearing Xiao Ze's question at this moment, An Ran couldn't help but sigh.
"The relationship between Madam Yun and Patriarch Yun seems a little strange!"
