Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Chapter 645 Peaceful Tea Time

　　"Grandmother, please be careful." Nan Hua didn't want Old Madam Long to strain herself. It was not like they were in a hurry.

　　Old Madam Long nodded and slowed down slightly. She had long wanted to bring Nan Hua to Long Family Residence, but the Nan Shu Cheng's Residence didn't even give her the access. It was so annoying to think that Nan Shu Cheng was actually Old Master Nan's son.

　　The two of them were so different!

　　It was as if Old Madam Long suspected that Nan Shu Cheng was actually a poor kid picked out of the street.

　　But if that was the case, it wouldn't explain the striking similarities between Old Master Nan and the twins. Not to mention, Nan Shu Cheng himself didn't look that much different from Old Master Nan when the latter was young.

　　"The weather has been quite hot lately. How is your training so far, Ah Xing?" Old Madam Long asked as he prepared the necessary ingredients to prepare for tea. Even though summer was almost over, the temperature was still scorching hot.

　　It would definitely be uncomfortable to fight in such condition.

　　"It's fine, Grandmother." Long Qian Xing smiled.

　　"Make sure to drink a lot!" Old Madam Long glared at her grandson.

　　Long Qian Xing nodded and smiled. Naturally, he knew how to take care of himself and would not neglect his health at all.

　　"Grandmother, let me prepare the tea." Nan Hua looked at Old Madam Long's trembling hand and could guess that Old Madam Long was no longer as she used to be. It would be hard for her to prepare the tea.

　　Old Madam Long's eyes lit up when she heard Nan Hua's suggestion. "Have you learned how to prepare plum tea, Hua'er?"

　　"The process is not much different, only the time change slightly with different type," Nan Hua answered calmly. She had learned under Nan Si Qiao for a long time. Not to mention, the tips she had received when she studied a bit under Shangguan Die was very helpful.

　　She couldn't call herself an expert.

　　But she was definitely not that bad.

　　Old Madam Long nodded. "In that case, I'll let you prepare the tea. The servants will be preparing the ice to add into the tea."

　　"Yes, Grandmother."

　　Preparing tea naturally had to be done when it was hot. The ice was only added later on. Nan Hua looked at the table. Tea making started from preparing all the necessary items and ingredients, including teapot, teacups, strainer, and so on. First, Nan Hua rinsed the teapot and teacups before she heated some water. Her move when she prepared them was not slow but it was filled with elegance as if coming out of the painting.

　　Old Madam Long's eyes widened when she saw the scene. It was out of her expectation that Nan Hua could move with such elegance.

　　The rumors said that Nan Hua was an unqualified young lady.

　　Unqualified?

　　Just look at her movement right now!

　　How could it be said to be unqualified? Old Madam Long really wanted to smack whoever was spreading those rumors.

　　Long Qian Xing was also watching Nan Hua with a faint smile on his lips. Looking at the young lady moving with such elegance was truly a feast to the eye.

　　Nan Hua proceeded to put the tea leaves into the teapot before she poured the hot water into the teapot. She stayed silence for a few seconds before removing the water to remove dust and the impurities on the surface of the tea leaves. After washing it, refill the teapot with boiled water, cover it, and stayed for a few seconds to preserve the aroma.

　　After it was done, Nan Hua poured the tea out while holding her sleeves. Traditional Chinese clothes (hanfu) had long sleeves. Naturally, one had to hold it in order to make sure that it would not get wet when they were making the tea.

　　After she had done, Nan Hua then offered the teacup to Old Madam Long with both hands.

　　"Grandmother, the tea is hot, please be careful."

　　"Let me taste it." Old Madam Long was curious and naturally accepted the tea. She sipped it carefully, savoring the taste. Amazement could be seen within her eyes because she could feel that the temperature was just right.

　　Not everyone would be able to calculate the time so accurately like what Nan Hua did. This made her even happier.

　　"It's really good, Hua'er!"

　　"Hua'er is glad that Grandmother liked it," Nan Hua replied humbly. Though, she began to wonder whether it was common to have future daughter in law served their grandmother in law. Usually, it would only happen when they had already gotten married.

　　"Hua'er, could you prepare another one for me?" Long Qian Xing asked.

　　"Yes, Brother Long."

　　Brother Long.

　　Long Qian Xing's smile turned a shade warmer when he heard her address.

　　Nan Hua poured the tea out while holding her sleeves towards another glass. Her head was slightly lowered when she did this, allowing Long Qian Xing to see her long eyelashes fluttered slightly.

　　After she had done, Nan Hua then offered the teacup to Long Qian Xing with both hands. She called out softly, "Brother Long, the tea is ready."

　　Long Qian Xing took the teacup from Nan Hua slowly and sipped the tea. It felt refreshing.

　　Old Madam Long snorted. "You look as if you have never drink tea before."

　　"It's not everyday I can drink tea prepared by my fiancée, Grandmother." Long Qian Xing looked at his grandmother helplessly. He felt that his grandmother always wanted to make him look bad in front of his fiancée.

　　"I'll ask the servants to prepare some ices." Old Madam Long snorted.

　　Long Qian Xing chose not to argue with his grandmother. In any case, he was already glad to be able to stay here and enjoyed some peace for the time being.
