Chapter 131 Ancient Tree and Sunken Jade (Part )

When the rain subsided a little, Lin Huan accompanied Hu Xingzhi back to their residence, and they went back to their rooms to change and wash up.

Little Aqi was sleeping soundly on the entire big bed, and before she woke up, Lin Huan sat down beside her bed and gently lifted her quilt. A cool breeze suddenly blew in, and the little girl hummed a little dissatisfiedly.

"It's time to get up! Little Aqi, wake up quickly and go shopping with your aunt. We still have a good afternoon today, so don't waste it!" Lin Huan stretched out his index finger and poked the little girl's nose. The little girl pouted her lips, turned her head and rubbed into the warm embrace behind her, then continued to sleep.

"Hurry up and get up, you lazy idiot. If you sleep too much during the day, you won't be able to sleep at night!"

Lin Huan poked her, finding it quite interesting, and poked her twice more. This time the little girl finally opened her eyes, her dark and clear eyes widened, looking at her a little aggrieved.

The child finally got up, dressed neatly, and folded the quilt. Lin Huan opened the window and found that the mist outside was slowly dispersing, revealing the bright blue sky, which contrasted with the green mountains in the distance, and was beautiful.

Lin Huan moved lightly, gracefully holding Ye Qi's hand and slowly walking towards the stairs. However, at this moment, her sharp eyes suddenly caught the figures of Rong Zhao and Hu Xingzhi. They had packed up and appeared in her sight.

Rong Zhao was tall and straight, like a towering mountain, exuding a calm and resolute temperament. He was dressed in a simple and elegant long gown, with his sleeves fluttering in the wind, which made him look even more graceful. His face was clearly defined, and his sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes revealed a heroic spirit that attracted people's attention.

Hu Xingzhi was also slender and straight like a pine tree, exuding a kind of elegant atmosphere. He wore a light blue gown, which was soft and smooth, like the clouds in the sky. His smile was gentle and kind, and his every move revealed a calm demeanor, which made people feel very comfortable and at ease.

These two people are perfect in both figure and temperament, and they can attract the attention of passers-by just by standing there.

However, in Rong Zhao's eyes, the most dazzling person was still the woman wearing a light green dress, who looked like a fairy descending from the earth - Lin Huan. Her silky, smooth and straight hair was half-tied up by an exquisite jade hairpin, and the rest of it naturally fell on her shoulders, fluttering gently in the wind. Her beauty was like the first ray of sunshine in the morning, warm and soft; and like a clear spring in the mountains, clear and sweet. Her every frown and smile exuded an elegant and quiet temperament, which blended with the hazy landscape of Qiaoying Manor, like a beautiful painting, intoxicating and unable to extricate oneself.

Rong Zhao raised his head and looked over, unable to look away for a moment. After a long time, he smiled softly.

"I've heard about it from Brother Xingzhi. Don't worry, Ah Huan. We don't have to look around like headless flies. I'll take you to visit a man who is my eldest brother's old supplier of teahouse in Chenyu Valley. He is responsible for supplying the teahouse on weekdays. If you come to Qiaoyingzhuang to look for good tea, you can't go wrong with him."

"Okay, thank you." Lin Huan nodded.

"Okay, without further ado, follow me."

Rong Zhao waved his hand, indicating that they were welcome. Then, he turned and walked towards the door, his steps firm and powerful. Lin Huan held Ye Qi's hand tightly and followed closely. They passed through winding paths, bypassed hills, and finally arrived in front of a huge mansion hidden in the mountains.

Rong Zhao walked forward and knocked gently on the door. The crisp knocking sound echoed in the air, as if carrying some mysterious rhythm.

After a while, footsteps were heard from inside, and the door opened from the inside. A tall, thin, long-sleeved, handsome middle-aged man walked out. After finding out that it was Rong Zhao and his companions, he bent down and smiled slightly.

"Second Master, why are you here?"

"Long time no see, Brother Gui Huai. I came to Chenyu Valley to play and brought my friends to see you." Rong Zhao called out.

"Second Master, you are really embarrassing me. I don't deserve to be called brother." Gui Huai waved his hands quickly.

Rong Zhao chuckled, "It's too formal, but no matter whether I deserve it or not, I still have to call you by your name."

Gui Huai seemed to be still a little hesitant, but seeing Rong Zhao's firm attitude, he could only sigh helplessly and said: "Well, it's up to you... I just didn't expect that after so many years, you are still so stubborn and your temper hasn't changed at all..."

Gui Huai stood at the door with a smile on his face, welcoming everyone. He personally led everyone into the courtyard and brought them to a very elegantly decorated room. Everyone sat down, and Gui Huai sat in the main seat, looking at everyone present with gentle eyes.

After everyone was seated, Gui Huai turned to look at Rong Zhao, smiled and asked, "Second Master Xiao Zhao, I wonder who these people are...?"

Rong Zhao raised his lips slightly, smiled, stood up slowly, then turned to Gui Huai and began to introduce them: "These two are the brother and sister of Wangsheng Hall. They are not only my and my brother's best friends, but this young lady is also our close comrade who fought side by side with us and shared life and death with us."

While speaking, Rong Zhao's tone unconsciously revealed a hint of pride, but at the same time, it was also mixed with a hint of sadness that was hardly noticeable.

After hearing Rong Zhao's introduction, Gui Huai's eyes instantly flashed with admiration. He quickly stood up, bowed to the brother and sister, and said, "It turns out that you are the gentleman and lady from Wangsheng Hall. I have heard of your great names for a long time! It is really a blessing for me to see you today."

"Mr. Gui, I've heard a lot about you! After seeing your voice and appearance today, I find that you are exactly as you said." Lin Huan returned the salute very politely.

"No, no, Miss Lin, you are too kind. Let's not just stand and talk. Please take a seat. I will go and make some freshly picked and roasted tea for you to taste. Hahahaha... You came at the right time. It's the spring tea harvest season now. You are in for a treat!"

Lin Huan smiled slightly and agreed: "Yes, it is indeed a rare enjoyment to be able to taste fresh spring tea at this time of year. Thank you for your hospitality, Mr. Gui."

Not long after, the hot tea was served. Lin Huan gently picked up the cup and took a sip. He could feel the fragrance of the tea and his mouth was full of saliva. His brows gradually relaxed and a satisfied smile flashed in his eyes.

"Hmm... the tea soup is clear and emerald, like crystal clear jade; the tea aroma is rich and mellow, refreshing and intoxicating; the taste is sweet and refreshing, like a spring flowing through the throat; the aftertaste is long and profound, as if you are in the tea mountains... This tea is really good!" Lin Huan praised softly. Rong Zhao and Hu Xingzhi nodded in agreement after hearing this.

Rong Zhao paused for a moment, then said with a smile: "Brother Gui Huai is a bit stingy. The Chenyuxiang tea that is usually supplied to the teahouse is far inferior to this cup..."

Gui Huai smiled and explained, "No, no, today we have a distinguished guest and we should welcome him with good tea. And I didn't hide this tea on purpose. It's because this tea was just picked this year and has not been delivered to the tea room yet. I will serve it on time in a few days."

After hearing this, Rong Zhao couldn't help but sigh: "That's great, we are in for a treat today! The taste of this tea is truly amazing."

After a moment, Lin Huan slowly raised his head with a faint smile on his face: "Not only that, I guess the tea trees in this tea garden are probably quite old, right? At least it must be an ancient tea garden of thousands of years old to produce such a peerless tea."

Gui Huai's eyes flashed with admiration, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly: "It turns out that Miss Lin is also a person who is proficient in the tea ceremony."

"Mr. Gui, you are too kind. I have just followed my family elders in tasting tea a lot since I was a child, so I have some experience..." Lin Huan shook his head, smiled faintly, and said modestly.

"Although I can't say that I have a thorough understanding of the tea ceremony, I can still tell the quality of tea and whether it is palatable. This tea tastes really good and can be called top-grade. It's fine to keep it privately, but it would be too extravagant to provide it to teahouses for people to drink. My brother is so lucky to have such a rare and good tea. Next time, I will definitely talk to him about the art of tea tasting."

"A Huan." Rong Zhao glanced at her with a hint of resentment, and there was a hint of grievance in his expression.
