Fragrance Returned

Dongyang was also delighted. I thought the prince-in-law would run away for another half a year, but he didn't expect to come back in a few days.

She already regretted it. She made her husband angry because of an adopted daughter, had a quarrel with her husband's family, was scolded by her father, the queen, and her mother. She was laughed at and lost face. The gain was not worth the loss.

But I was embarrassed to say this, so I had to throw something to vent my anger.

No matter how good Dongyang feels about himself, he still knows why the prince-in-law ran away. Only this girl who can talk can coax him from the outer study to Qijin Hall.

She glanced at Xunxiang.

Xunxiang understood what she meant, stood up and said, "I'm going to see daddy."

Xunxiang is still happy, her irresponsible father is finally back. Not running away from trouble means acting responsibly.

Since they can't get divorced, Xunxiang still hopes that they can reconcile and at least live in peace on the surface. Without Xunfeng, there will be a lot less quarrels in the future.

To train a stupid stick, you have to be a concubine, not even an emperor or a queen.

Dongyang was a little embarrassed and stubborn, "He will come back as soon as he comes back. I can't invite anyone else."

Xunxiang sat down again. I didn't say whether to invite him or not.

Seeing that Xunxiang really refused to go, Dongyang was so angry that his liver ached, so he closed his eyes and said nothing.

Xun Yibo was a good boy and gave Dongyang a step forward, "Mom, the Chinese New Year is almost here, and it’s not good for the whole family to be unhappy all the time. Let the younger sister go and comfort the father?"

Dongyang said harshly, "If I want to coax you, I am not willing to coddle him."

Xun Yibo smiled and said, "Sister, go ahead. It's best to invite dad over. I miss him."

Xunxiang got up, went back to Xikuoyuan to get matcha powder, and then asked Luoer to go to the big kitchen to ask for half a catty of milk.

She is going to make matcha today.

The father-in-law came back for her and this family, and she had to give him a surprise to make him happy and have something to think about.

Consort Xun liked to share tea, and the outer study was equipped with various utensils and tools. She only brought a copper cup with a spout.

There was heavy snow in the sky, a cold wind was blowing, and it was already very dark at the beginning of the day.

Xunxiang came outside the study and saw the lights on the third floor through the flying snowflakes.

One boy invited Xunxiang to the first floor, and another boy went to the third floor to report.

Red stairs, with golden copper sheets nailed on the edges.

There were slight noises going up and downstairs, which made the room even more silent.

After a while, the young man came down and said with a soft smile, "Your Majesty, please come upstairs."

There is only one large room on the third floor, about forty or fifty square meters, with multiple layers of curtains and many pots of silver frost charcoal burning. The room was as warm as spring and filled with a touch of agarwood.

The bed is not a canopy bed, but a tatami, located at the very back. The vermilion wooden floor is covered with a large velvet carpet, and in the middle is a square small rosewood coffee table with carved patterns and inlaid jade.

On the coffee table are a small copper stove, porcelain jars for tea cakes, and various tea-distributing utensils.

Prince Consort Xun had just finished taking a bath. He was wearing a light blue cotton robe and his hair was half-dried. He was sitting in front of the table sharing tea.

He lit tea pills in his hand, without raising his head, and said with a smile, "Xiangxiang, come sit here."

His smile was warm and his voice was gentle, as if he had never been angry.

What a fairy.

Xunxiang took off her cloak and handed it to Yuhuan at the door, then sat on the futon in front of the coffee table.

A bowl of tea has been ordered, with a white deer and a white moon on top of the sauce-colored tea soup.

A bowl of tea soup is being ordered.

Prince Consort Xun devoted himself wholeheartedly. After pouring boiling water into the tea soup, he slowly stirred the tea soup with bamboo silk. The flowers in the soup are getting clearer and clearer, the mountains are rolling, and the river is flowing under the mountains.

This was the first time for Xun Xiang to see ancient nobles sharing tea.

The movements are elegant and the expression is focused, just like drawing a wonderful picture on rice paper...

After ordering tea, Prince Consort Xun nodded with satisfaction.

He smiled and asked, "Which bowl does Xiangxiang like?"

Xunxiang smiled and said, "They all look good."

Xun Xiang pushed "Landscape in the Rain" to Xun Xiang, then he picked up "White Deer Watching the Moon" and smelled it with his eyes closed, then took a sip, nodded with satisfaction, and whispered two words.

"Wonderful."

He looked at Xunxiang again, meaning what do you think?

Xun Xiang had not had a good impression of the tedious tea-sharing process before. She felt that wearing a mink fur coat on top of a fox fur coat was too flashy and exaggerated, and completely unnecessary.

But seeing how intoxicated the consort was when he ordered tea and how happy he was after the tea was served, he felt that as long as it could cultivate people's sentiments and make people happy both physically and mentally, it would be good.

She sincerely praised, "Exquisite and fragrant."

Prince Consort Xun smiled even more.

After tasting the tea in the cup, Prince Consort Xun suppressed his smile and said with shame, "Dad is not good, I almost left my daughter at home and ran out alone again."

Xunxiang said seriously, "I believe dad will not abandon me. No, you are really back."

Very touched.

As for the doubts I had, I won’t talk about it.

Luo Er brought the milk.

Xunxiang poured the milk into the copper cup with a mouth she brought, and then placed the cup on the small burning copper stove.

"I'll give Daddy a different kind of tea."

When the milk was boiling, she stirred it vigorously with a tea spoon until it was foamy and ready for use.

Then use a small spoon to take a spoonful of matcha powder and pour it into a tea bowl. Add half a spoonful of sugar, pour in an appropriate amount of boiling water, and stir evenly with a tea spoon.

Then pick up the foamed milk and pour it into the matcha soup in a circle, and finally use the milk to draw flowers on the matcha.

What she pulled was a huge peony flower, like a milky white peony blooming on the green water, so beautiful.

After finishing, Xun Xiang presented it to Xun Xiangma with both hands, "Dad, please drink tea."

Prince Consort Xun's eyes were filled with astonishment.

He took the tea and smelled it with his eyes closed before saying with a smile, "It has the fragrance of tea leaves and the strong fragrance of milk."

Then he opened his eyes and took a closer look, "The tea soup is green, the latte art is full, and the process is simple."

He took a sip, took another sip, and said with a smile, "It's fragrant and sweet, without losing the original taste of tea, and it also has frankincense. It has a different taste, very good!"

Xunxiang smiled and said, "It also has two advantages: it is cheap and saves time."

"What kind of tea is this? Where did my daughter learn from it?"

Xun Xiang smiled shamelessly, "I went to a teahouse to drink some tea. I thought it was too expensive and time-consuming, so I came up with this kind of tea powder. I asked Master Huang to make it, and it was actually made. I got a The name is Matcha. Does Daddy think it’s good too?”

Hearing that his daughter came up with it herself, Prince Consort Xun first looked at Xun Xiang with the eager eyes of "My child is capable" and said sincerely, "My daughter is not only good at painting, but also has excellent tea skills."

Finally, there was a burst of laughter, "I, Xun Sihai, have a successor."

Xun Xiang pouted and said disapprovingly, "My brother is also capable, and he has inherited his father's good qualities..."

The word "gene" can't be tolerated.

Prince Consort Xun shook his head, "Yibo has very good qualifications, but it's a pity that he spends his time on worldly affairs and cannot become a great person."

Xunxiang secretly slandered that if you use it more for secular affairs, you two should be irresponsible...

Xun Xiang added, "Please keep it a secret for me. I will keep the matcha until the fourth-grade study opens. The purpose of the study is to taste books, taste tea, taste, and taste life."
