The temperature delivered by the warm teacup is not too hot, but it is enough to warm your hands.
The tea aroma was fresh, but not astringent. It was very fragrant when taken. Qin Chaochao and Gu Wanping's eyes lit up. "Whose tea is this?"
"This is grown on the mountain next to my home. It's called Mountain Top Mist. It's made from the tender leaves at the tips of the newly grown tea trees on the mountain top. My brother and my parents do all the work from picking to roasting. The tips of the tea trees on the mountain top don't produce much, so we only got a few small jars of this. My parents and my brother think that Brother Yao has worked hard on the case, so they asked me to bring these jars to you and give them to you to drink. If you two like them, I'll ask them to roast more when we return to Kyoto." When He Huaixiu mentioned his family's tea, it was as if he opened up a chatterbox. He looked very radiant and confident.
Qin Chaochao smiled and said, "Oh, thank you so much! This sounds like a rare treat. Pingping, I really have this treat thanks to you!"
Gu Wanping smiled without saying anything, then picked up the snack and took a bite.
"This dessert was not made by you, was it?" Gu Wanping took a look, tasted it, and asked He Huaixiu.
He Huaixiu nodded honestly, "Yes, Auntie is so smart. This snack was baked by my niece. My niece has excellent cooking skills. I dare say that the food she makes is the best in Yinweiguo!"
"Hehe, Yin Weiguo is number one in the country, you are so arrogant." Gu Wanping thought it was good, but felt that He Huaixiu's statement was a bit exaggerated.
"Really, aunt, if you don't believe me, when you have a chance to pass by Luguang Town, you can go and try it. Yi Ji is famous within a hundred miles." He Huaixiu said with a smile.
Seeing that she was still smiling and didn't seem to hear the ridicule in her words, Gu Wanping felt a little disappointed, but she also felt that this girl was simple-minded, and had complicated feelings for a moment.
"Yi Ji? Is this the shop owned by Huijing Xiangjun?" Qin Chaochao became interested and stretched forward.
"Yes, my little niece is really nice, kind-hearted, a good cook, smart, and successful in business. She is also a good person and treats the villagers well." He Huaixiu spoke of Yi Yami with pride.
The more Qin Chaochao listened, the more satisfied she felt. Seeing this, Gu Wanping coughed and said, "What about you? You want to marry my son, what are your strengths?"
He Huaixiu was stunned when he heard this. Her strengths? What were her strengths?
He Huaixiu was silent for a long time, so Yao Wenyuan spoke for her, "Xiuxiu has many advantages. For example, she is diligent, has excellent embroidery skills, is simple-minded and doesn't have many tricks. She is virtuous, kind, has a sense of justice, is soft-hearted and easy to talk to, and is warm-hearted."
Seeing how closely Yao Wenyuan protected her, Gu Wanping sighed inwardly. This child really loved her very much, otherwise she had never seen Yao Wenyuan protect anyone like this before.
Qin Chaochao smiled and said, "Oh, this Wenyuan is quite observant."
Yao Wenyuan blushed when he heard this. "Of course. We spend every day together, and I know what kind of person Xiuxiu is."
"Madam, there is a woman who has fainted outside the prefectural government's door. Do you want her to be brought in?" Gu Wanping's personal maid said to her after receiving the report from the maid outside.
"Of course it should be carried in first, otherwise it would not look good if it was placed at the magistrate's door." Gu Wanping frowned slightly.
"Okay, I understand, madam." The maid retreated and had the woman carried in.
Yao Wenyuan took a anxious look, thinking it was an innocent citizen, but unexpectedly it was Zhou Erni who was carried in.
When He Huaixiu saw this, his face turned a little unhappy.
"Call a doctor to see what's going on?" Gu Wanping took a look. The woman was dressed in a fresh and elegant manner, but there were several things wrong with her. Her chest was vaguely visible, and the clothes on her upper body were very thin. In order to show her waist, she wore a belt around her waist. Others didn't see it clearly, but Gu Wanping, who knew the tricks in the backyard, saw it at a glance.
When Zhou Erni heard they were going to call a doctor, she felt that she would be exposed as soon as the doctor came, so she immediately pretended to wake up slowly and said, "Hmm... where is this?"
Gu Wanping curled her lips slightly. This guy was really dramatic. She wanted to see what tricks he was going to play.
Although Yao Wenyuan didn't like Zhou Erni, but Zhou Erni fainted and now woke up. When she saw him, she was overjoyed, "Brother Yao!"
"Are you okay? Why did you faint at the door of my house?" Although Yao Wenyuan didn't like it, he still had to say what he had to say.
"I couldn't find my aunt, and I had all the money I had. I was hungry for several days and had nowhere to go. I ended up here without realizing it. But my health was so poor that I fainted." Zhou Erni looked so sob that she wanted to speak, which made others feel sorry for her.
Qin Chaochao and Gu Wanping knew everything clearly; they had seen this kind of tactics many times.
He Huaixiu sighed inwardly when she heard this and prepared to go to the kitchen to get some food for Zhou Erni. Seeing her about to leave, Gu Wanping asked, "Where are you going?"
He Huaixiu was surprised. She didn't expect Gu Wanping to pay attention to her. She said, "Miss Zhou said she was hungry for several days. I'll go to the kitchen and get some food..."
Gu Wanping looked at her and really couldn't tell that Zhou Erni was pretending. She sighed inwardly. With this kind of mentality, if she went to Kyoto, she would be swallowed up by the women in Kyoto.
"Forget it, you go ahead. I'm hungry too, so you can arrange it for me as well." Gu Wanping said.
When Yao Wenyuan saw so many people, he was about to follow them, but Gu Wanping stopped him and said, "Don't be so busy. Please take a seat first. Someone, please show Miss Zhou to her."
Zhou Erni looked weak, but with the help of her maid, she sat down at the dining table.
Fortunately, Gu Wanping brought many maids with her. The personal maid was called Qinglian. She asked the other maids to follow He Huaixiu to work together, so He Huaixiu was able to handle the work.
