However, Song Mingzhao kept feeling cold. No matter how many clothes he wore. He also felt uncomfortable with too many charcoal stoves burning in the room.

It was only after entering An Shou Hall that he suddenly felt a little better after smelling the incense.

Old Madam Yu felt a little relieved. Although its nothing serious, look at you. Your face is still pale. Why arent you recuperating at home? Why did you still come to my place? If theres really anything important, get someone to send a message. A letter is fine too! Youre still young. You have to take good care of your health. Dont be careless.

These words were also the truth. No matter how important the matter in Jiangnan was, women like them could only listen. There was nothing much they could do to interfere.

Song Mingzhao glanced at Eldest Miss Yu. Its been more than two months since I went south this time. I havent seen Grandmother Yu for a long time.

Its almost the end of the year. I have to pay you a visit.

His calm words made Old Madam Yu smile. Youre too kind.

Ever since Song Mingzhao fell sick last time, he had become much closer to the Yu Residence. Usually, he would only see them during the holidays, but they would come to visit every once in a while.

He really treated her as half a grandmother.

Song Mingzhao changed the topic. Song Xiuwens case is very important, so Lord Yu cant return before the new year and celebrate the new year with his family. Lord Yu is worried about his family, so he asked me to bring some family letters and some specialties from Zhejiang. I brought them all over today. Lord Yu is well. Dont worry, Grandmother Yu and Young Master Zhou. He glanced at Yu Youyao again. Seeing that she was listening with her eyes lowered, he paused for a moment and continued, Miss Yao, dont worry. With that, he respectfully handed over the letters.

Qing Xiu quickly went over to get the letters and handed them to Old Madam Yu.

After taking the calming pill, Old Madam Yu was in no hurry to read the letters. She took them and placed them aside.

After saying that, the maidservant served tea at the right time.

Song Mingzhao picked up the tea and smelled it. He felt that this tea was strangely like Jiang Xin, with a hint of herb wood. It was mellow and fresh, but sharp and lasting.

As soon as it entered his mouth, he felt a little energized, and the fatigue in his body faded.

Song Mingzhao had never drunk this tea before, so he guessed that this must be a new tea made by Eldest Miss Yu. He couldnt help but ask, What kind of

tea is this? Its different from ordinary tea.

Old Madam Yu smiled and said, This is a type of herbal tea from Mount Wuyi. The fragrance of the tea is strong. Its like cinnamon, but its fresher and more mellow than cinnamon. Yao Yao made it into tea. Not only have you never drunk it, but its also unique to our family in the entire Great Zhou Dynasty. No one has drunk this tea.

When she said this, her tone was clearly filled with pride.

The Rougui tea was fresh and mellow, and she liked it very much. Yu Youyao lowered her head and drank her tea with her teacup.

Song Mingzhao asked, How is this tea made?

Old Madam Yu smiled until her eyes narrowed. Its because Yao Yao has a tea plantation on Mount Wuyi that has a kind of jade laurel tree growing on the mountain. Everyone in the plantation knows that Yao Yao likes incense medicine. Seeing that the fragrance of this jade laurel tree is special, I brought some along when I sent the new year goods into the residence a few days ago.

He had drunk a lot of high-grade Wuyi tea. Those teas were warm but not cold, and their fragrances resembled white orchids. The tea was good, but Song Mingzhao did not like it very much. This was the first time he had heard of Rougui tea from Wuyi Mountain, so he could not help but be a little surprised.

At the mention of her granddaughter, Old Madam Yu always had endless things to say. Yao Yao also felt that the fragrance of this jade laurel leaf was special, so she studied the use of the jade laurel leaf. She happened to discover that the jade laurel leaf had a sharp fragrance that lasted after soaking it. It also helped to relieve fatigue, expel cold and moisture, warm the spleen and stomach, clear the blood vessels, and relieve digestion. She kneaded and stir-fried the tea. I didnt expect that she would really discover the true benefits of jade laurel.

The jade laurel tree grows on Mount Wuyi every year. Yu Youyao was definitely not the first person to discover that it was special. However, only Yu Youyao had researched the uses of the jade laurel tree.

Song Mingzhaos heart was beating wildly, but he did not show it on his face. He couldnt help but praise, Rougui tea is even more fragrant and sharp than famous tea. Miss Yaos ingenuity is really rare in the world.

When Old Madam Yu heard this, she glanced at her granddaughter. Seeing that she was holding a teacup and lowering her head, she even thought that she had blushed after being praised. She smiled and said, How is she ingenious? Shes just afraid of drinking a bowl of ginger soup every day. During this

period of time, shes been thinking of ways every day to study incense medicine that can replace ginger tea. Shes almost obsessed. I didnt expect her to really create this Rougui tea and bring it to my house yesterday.

There were also many incense medicines that could ward off the cold and warm the body.

But most of them had to be accompanied by ginger.

It was fine if she did not add ginger, but the effect of expelling colds and preventing illnesses was not as obvious and fast as ginger.

Rougui tea had an excellent body-warming effect. With a little ginger juice added, it would increase the effect of repelling the cold and warming the body.

The tea itself was clear and mellow, making the ginger taste even more fragrant.

She liked drinking it, so she took it out to entertain Song Mingzhao today.

She did not expect Song Mingzhao to like it too. Old Madam Yu smiled. If you like it, bring some back later.

These words were exactly what Song Mingzhao wanted to hear. He immediately thanked her. Thank you, Grandmother Yu. After saying that, he even looked at Yu Youyao. Thank you, Miss Yao.

Old Madam Yu quickly waved her hand. Yu Youyaos lips curled up slightly.

Heir Song, youre too polite.

Her calm words were as polite as before.

However, Song Mingzhao could hear the distance in her voice. He lowered his eyes. From the corner of his eye, Zhou Linghuai peeled a pot of Rougui pork and handed it to her.

She took a small silver stick and ate happily. She looked at Zhou Linghuai with sparkling eyes, her eyes filled with joy and even dazzling dependence.

Third Sister had said that Eldest Miss Yu and her cousin had an extremely good relations.h.i.+p.

He knew it was real.

However, he still had some doubts about how close they were. After all, Zhou

Linghuai was still living under someone elses roof. It was naturally impossible for him to be close to the people from the Yu Residence without any grudges.

But now, he realized that he was wrong.

A person like Zhou Linghuai would not be used to living under someone elses roof. No matter where he went, his aura would always make people respect him.

Judging from this persons description, he was reminded of Song Yus Ode to a

G.o.ddess.

Looking at this persons bearing, he couldnt help but think of Laozi

Those who were kind in ancient times were mysterious and unrecognizable.

The only thing she didnt understand was her husband, so she forced herself to be polite.

He was like someone who stepped on the ice surface of a river. It was very dangerous. If he was not careful, he would slip and fall.

He was simple yet as broad-minded as the high mountains and empty valleys.

A person like Zhou Linghuai was subtle, deep, and knowledgeable. He was so deep that it was difficult to judge him. It was precisely because it was difficult to judge that it was hard to describe him!

He was so shrewd and cautious, as if he was stepping on river ice in winter.

He was so meticulous and vigilant, as if there were powerful enemies around everywhere.

He was respectful and self-possessed, as if he had always been a guest.

It was as if the ice was about to disintegrate and melt. He was simple and indifferent, and none of his outstanding abilities could be seen. He was open and vast, like the void.

It was really indescribable!
