Chapter 265 – Yu Sheng Tea House
by Jessie@AFNCCBut Yun didn’t say anything in the end.
Once everyone had arrived, the Wei family crowd was about to set off.
For today’s trip, the Wei family members will have to move in several directions.
Wei Yi Chen would go to his fellow students, Wei Ming Ting would travel on horseback with Wei Yi Lin, and Wei Ruo and Wei Qing Wan would travel in the same carriage as Yun.
The carriage drove in the direction of the East Lake, today’s dragon boat race was held in the West District of the East Lake, that neighborhood has long been a sea of people, surrounded by onlookers of the people.
And Wei Ruo they were going to the Yu Sheng Tea House located next to the East Lake.
This tea house has been chartered by the same governor’s office today, and only receives the lady and young lady who accept the invitation of the Xu family.
Upon arrival, Wei Ruo joined Yun and Wei Qingwan in the Yu Sheng Tea Cuisine.
The tea house is built near the water, the pavilion and the pavilion are carved and painted, the scenery is very delicate and elegant.
Tea House weekdays are also received by the elegant generation, burning incense and piano tea viewing, set the elegance of the success.
It was just that the name of this Yu Sheng Tea Cuisine made Wei Ruo uncontrollably think of the Yu Sheng Tea Garden that she had visited just a short while ago, and she wondered if there was some sort of correlation between the two.
The Xu family arranged different tea rooms for the ladies and young ladies, so not long after entering the Tea House, Yun and Wei Ruo and Wei Qingwan separated, each led by the Tea House’s tea waiter to a different tea room.
Wei Ruo and Wei Qingwan arrived at the tea room that the Xu family had booked for the ladies, and as soon as they entered, the bright and eye-catching Wei Qingwan attracted everyone’s attention.
After seeing Wei Qingwan’s attire Xu Yaogun changed her face, glancing at the yellow dress she was wearing, she unconsciously clenched her teeth.
Looking to Wei Qingwan’s side again, Wei Ruo’s dress was mediocre, although she originally had outstanding looks, but at the moment, standing with a bunch of other young ladies who were not as good looking as her, it didn’t stand out, at least at first glance it didn’t give people the feeling of a bright spot in their eyes.
When Xu Yaogun looked at herself, Wei Ruo also looked at Xu Yaogun, only to see that Xu Yaogun was also wearing a goose-yellow colored dress today, and the style of the dress was somewhat similar to Wei Qingwan’s.
Wei Qingwan’s was covered with a light veil and looked a bit more feminine; Xu Yaogun’s skirt had relatively simple embroidery and looked more competent.
The next thing he saw was Xu Yaogun walking towards him, looking eager, “Qingruo, you’re here, I’ve been waiting for you for a long time.”
Xu Yaogun’s enthusiastic appearance made Wei Ruo want to vanish in place.
Wei Ruo glanced at Xu Yaogun’s expression again and realized that although she was holding her hand, her gaze was glancing at Wei Qingwan.
In this instant Wei Ruo realized that this Xu Yaogun was using her as a gun again.
This is not being familiar with her, this is borrowing her to embarrass Wei Qingwan.
Wei Ruo only felt a big headache, I don’t want to get involved in the strife between these two people at all, and I don’t want to be used as a gun by Xu Yaogun.
Wei Ruo saw the three Yuan sisters and was about to go over to sit at a table with them, but she was pulled by Xu Yaogun to the seat closest to the window.
“Let’s sit over there, I saved you a seat.”
There were several tables set up in this tea room, but only two were next to the windows.
A moment later the dragon boat passes over the lake, and the window seat can obviously see it more clearly and carefully.
Xu Yaogun again poured tea for Wei Ruo and greeted Wei Ruo with refreshments, on the contrary, Wei Qingwan was left out in the cold.
Xu Yaogun was deliberately cold, and the others also saw the wind and didn’t dare to take the initiative to get close to Wei Qingwan, causing Wei Qingwan to be stuck in place after entering the door, not knowing what to do.
Wei Qingwan looked at Wei Ruo in embarrassment, and Wei Ruo was unmoved after receiving her gaze.
Although she didn’t really agree with Xu Yaogun’s behavior, she was more than willing to help Wei Qingwan out.
As for whether Wei Qingwan would hold a grudge against her for this, Wei Ruo didn’t bring any consideration at all, because no matter what she did today and whether she helped Wei Qingwan or not, Wei Qingwan had already regarded her as an enemy.
Wei Ruo shifted his gaze to the window, at the moment there was no dragon boat on the lake, but this did not affect Wei Ruo’s appreciation of the lake view at all.
The fists in Wei Qingwan’s sleeves were clenched tightly, and under the gaze of the gloating crowd, she walked over to the nearest empty seat and sat down.
Seeing her like this, Xu Yaogun was a bit happy and showed more enthusiasm towards Wei Ruo.
“Qingruo, which team do you favor?” Wei Qingwan inquired with interest.
“I’m not very knowledgeable, I’m not even sure what teams are there, let alone how strong they are.” Wei Ruo didn’t want to say anything more, and just wanted to be left alone to fret.
“Your elder brother is also from An Zhou Academy, you should be optimistic about An Zhou Academy as well.” Xu Yaogun said.
Wei Ruo smiled shallowly and didn’t give a clear answer.
Xu Yaojun added, “My brother will represent An Zhou Academy in this competition, you’ll be able to see him then.”
Wei Ruo smiled again, polite and courteous while being distant and cold.
Xu Yaogun does not care about Wei Ruo’s attitude of detachment, she was not genuinely in order to have a good relationship with Wei Ruo, simply through Wei Ruo to Wei Qingwan embarrassment.
Wei Ruo took a sip of the tea that was set in front of him, and the flavor couldn’t be said to be too good or bad.
“This Yu Sheng Tea House is the best tea house in Taizhou Prefecture, and this tea is also a top quality tea. How does Qing Ruo feel about drinking it?” Xu Yaogun asked Wei Ruo.
“Not bad.” It was not good to compare with other things, just take the Dragon Well that Fan Cheng Xu had given her to drink that day and compare it, the tea in the Tea Cuisine today was still a bit worse.
“What good tea did Qingruo drink before?” Xu Yaogun asked casually.
“I prefer milk tea.” Wei Ruo replied.
“What? Milk tea? What’s that?” Xu Yaogun looked at Wei Ruo with a puzzled expression.
It was just a casual question, but Wei Ruo’s answer was outside her expectations.
“Well, a kind of tea made from milk and tea leaves.” Wei Ruo explained.
“Milk and tea can be made good together?” Xu Yaogun didn’t quite believe what Wei Ruo said.
“It just so happens that I have brought some over today, would it be okay to cook it for you to try on the spot?” Wei Ruo said.
“Then you cook it and try it.” Xu Yaogun said.
Xu Yaogun thought, anyway, at this moment the dragon boat race has not yet begun, everyone is idle nothing to do, she will see Wei Qingruo can make what new tricks.
The others also gathered around to watch, especially the three sisters of the Yuan family, who had seen the power of the loquat paste Wei Ruo had made were filled with curiosity about Wei Ruo’s new tricks.
Wei Ruo beckoned Xiu Mei to come over to his side.
Xiu Mei’s body carried a small embroidered cloth bag with a lot of goodies in it.
She then pulled out from inside the cloth bag, as if by magic, a small jar containing tea, a cowhide bag of milk, which Wei Ruo and Xiu Mei went up to milk last night.
There was also a small jar of sauteed caramel.
There were tools for making tea in the Tea Chest, and Xu Yaogun asked the maid of the Tea Chest to fetch the small stove that Wei Ruo needed.
After preparing all the equipment, Wei Ruo started to make tea in front of everyone.
