Chapter 297 Qingyan Extra: The Moonlight Is Bright (5)

In the room, Lu Yan, who was coughing constantly, heard the familiar sound of the piano, and felt his heart suddenly warm up, and a smile rose from the corner of his mouth involuntarily.

The little girl is really considerate. In his seventeen years of life, no one has ever treated him so attentively...

When Lu Yan was able to go out, it was already mid-June, and the lotus flowers in Yunhu were in full bloom, but Lu Yan's body was obviously unable to go.

The first thing Lu Yan did after he recovered was to ask Li Ze to send an invitation to Shen Qing.

After not seeing Shen Qing's face or hearing Shen Qing's voice for more than ten days, Lu Yan felt empty in his heart, so he couldn't help but break his worries again and prepared to meet her on the pretext of thanking Shen Qing for sending medicine.

When Shen Qing received the invitation, it was just noon, and the scorching sun above her head emitted a dazzling light, which made people's eyes look a little unreal.

Shen Qing couldn't help rubbing her eyes, but saw that the content of the invitation had not changed at all-

I was sick a few days ago, and fortunately the girl sent me good medicine, so I specially invited the girl to come and talk, and boil tea around the stove to express my gratitude, Lu Yan.

Shen Qing couldn't help but twitch her mouth slightly. It was so hot... Lu Yan actually invited her to boil tea around the stove?

But after thinking about it for a while, it seemed reasonable. Yun Xiaoxiao had mentioned before that Lu Yan's body couldn't stand the cold the most, so compared to boating and mountain climbing, boiling tea around the stove was obviously more suitable for him.

After calling Chan Yi, the master and servant went out of the courtyard gate and turned around to enter the next courtyard gate.

Under the shade of the trees in the courtyard, Li Ze had already set up the stove, and Lu Yan was carefully selecting tea leaves. Every petal had to be carefully selected. It can be seen that Lu Yan attached great importance to today's boiling tea around the stove.

Seeing Shen Qing coming, Lu Yan's eyes subconsciously flashed a bright color.

"Miss Shen is here, please sit here."

The voice was obviously a little softer, which was a far cry from the cold reception when they first met.

Shen Qing smiled and agreed, and walked towards the place where Lu Yan pointed. Chan Yi stood next to Shen Qing.

Lize saw that the little girl looked tactless, and couldn't help but quietly pulled her sleeve, "There are still cakes in the kitchen, why don't you go with me, Miss Chan Yi, to get some, after all, you should know Miss Shen's preferences better than me."

Chan Yi agreed and followed her, and only Lu Yan and Shen Qing were left in the courtyard.

For some reason, no servant passed by the huge courtyard of Lu Yan's house for a long time.

Shen Qing sat on the chair with his chin supported by one hand, watching Lu Yan elegantly wash the tea set, wash the tea, boil water, and then brew it.

The set of movements was as smooth as flowing water, and it was obvious that he had done it many times.

Shen Qing couldn't help but think in his heart: He is really good-looking, and everything he does is pleasing to the eye.

Lu Yan brought the brewed teacup to Shen Qing, his voice full of joy, "Miss Shen, try it, this is my first time to brew tea for someone."

Shen Qing's eyebrows curved, "It's really my honor."

Pick up the teacup, Shen Qing took a sip and said, "The tea soup is clear, just like mountains and rivers, the tea fragrance is rich, slightly sweet at the beginning, and after it goes down the throat, the fragrance lingers on the lips and teeth. If I'm not mistaken, this should be the Songshan Silver Needle that is hard to find on the market, right?"

Hearing Shen Qing's evaluation, Lu Yan's eyes shone even brighter, as if he had found a soulmate, "Miss Shen has good eyesight."

"I caught a cold by accident before. Thanks to Miss Shen for asking for good medicine from Doctor Yun, I was able to recover in just ten days. Today I will drink tea instead of wine to thank Miss Shen for sending the medicine."

Shen Qing smiled, "Mr. Lu is too polite. If I hadn't insisted on staying overnight in Yunling Mountain, Mr. Lu wouldn't have caught a cold."

Lu Yan didn't continue to dwell on this topic, but talked to Shen Qing about some light things, from many years of playing to settling in Yuncheng, a full seven years of experience, and told Shen Qing one by one.

Although Lu Yan's words were full of lightness, Shen Qing heard something else from him: leaving home at the age of ten and wandering for many years.

Shen Qing couldn't help but ask one more question, "You haven't been back for so many years, won't your parents urge you?"

The smile in Lu Yan's eyes faded a little, "My mother died when I was ten years old, and as for my father... he was busy with decadence and had no time to take care of me."

"Sorry, I..." Shen Qing was interrupted by Lu Yan before he finished speaking, "It's okay, Miss Shen is willing to be my friend, it's my greatest luck."

Hearing this, Shen Qing's eyes were filled with expectation, "Then... friend, how about I treat you to the cakes I made by myself tomorrow?"

Lu Yan's mouth corners raised, "That would be great."

The two chatted from the sun at the zenith to the sun moving westward, and Shen Qing took Chan Yi back to his own small courtyard.

Seeing the joy that Shen Qing couldn't hide on her lips, Chan Yi couldn't help but tease: "Miss is particularly happy today, but that Mr. Lu performed very well?"

Shen Qing rolled her eyes at her coquettishly, "Good Chan Yi, you dare to tease me now! By the way, where have you been in the afternoon?"

As if she thought of something, Chan Yi's cheeks slightly rose with a suspicious blush, "I didn't go anywhere, I just looked at the flowers and caught butterflies in the back garden..."

The latter sentence accidentally touched Li Ze's hand, and Chan Yi was embarrassed to say it.

Shen Qing was happy in her heart, and didn't dwell too much on Chan Yi's affairs, but asked the cooks to prepare the ingredients and molds for making cakes early tomorrow morning, and she would cook it herself tomorrow.

In addition, she also asked the cooks to prepare an old hen, and she was going to make a soup for Lu Yan to nourish his body.

After hearing this, Chan Yi was surprised, "Miss, are you really going to cook it yourself?"

Shen Qing nodded proudly, "Of course, I have already promised Lu Yan, not to mention, didn't he make tea for me today?"

Chan Yi couldn't help but speak out his true feelings, "Then aren't you repaying kindness with enmity!"

Shen Qing: "???"

Seeing a few threats flashing in Shen Qing's eyes, Chan Yi begged for mercy again and again, but was still chased by Shen Qing for a long time, and the laughter continued to ring in the yard.

...

The next day, Shen Qing got up half an hour earlier than usual, and after breakfast, he took Chan Yi to the kitchen.

The careful cook had already prepared the old hen, cut the ginseng into slices, and placed the red dates, longans and other auxiliary ingredients neatly on the plate beside.

Afraid that Shen Qing could not distinguish the seasonings, she also carefully labeled them one by one.

Shen Qing thanked the cook and asked Chan Yi to help him.

The first step in making pastries: start kneading the dough.

Shen Qing paused for a moment, "Chan Yi, do you know how much flour and water to put in?"

Chan Yi's face fell, "Miss, you forgot that I am a maid who combs hair."

In other words, she is not much better than Shen Qing in cooking.

Shen Qing wanted to try it casually, but when she thought that Lu Yan would come soon, she could only ask the cook for help.

The cook smiled, kneaded the dough for Shen Qing, asked Shen Qing to put the dough in the mold to shape it, and then put the old hen and ginseng into the pot to stew, "Miss, I have already cooked the chicken soup, you only need to add a little seasoning after an hour and a half."

Shen Qing nodded in response, and began to shape different doughs with Chan Yi, and then carefully put them into the steamer.

The white osmanthus cake was sprinkled with osmanthus powder, and the light green mung bean cake was sprinkled with white sesame seeds. Every step was extremely solemn. If you didn't know, you would think that the master and servant were holding some solemn ceremony.

After the two of them finished cooking more than a dozen kinds of pastries, the chicken soup was almost done. After adding seasonings according to their own ideas, Chan Yi helped Shen Qing to pour it into the soup bowl.

When the master and servant came out of the kitchen, they saw that Lu Yan had arrived at some point and was sitting under the crabapple tree to enjoy the cool air.

The white petals fell in front of the handsome man, brushing against his broad shoulders inadvertently, which was a different kind of beauty.

The master and servant each brought a plate of pastries. The seven or eight pastries carefully placed on the plate were of different shapes, but the arrangement was exquisite and beautiful, and it was obvious that they had put a lot of thought into it.

Chan Yi, who had come to her senses, helped Shen Qing move the chair, and then asked Li Ze to help her bring the remaining pastries and chicken soup.

Shen Qing sat down opposite Lu Yan.

Looking at the rabbit-shaped cake in front of him, Lu Yan was surprised, "This is the first time I've seen a rabbit-shaped osmanthus cake."

Shen Qing raised her eyebrows slightly, and her eyes were filled with anticipation, "This is also my first time making it. Let's try it and see if it tastes good."

Lu Yan picked up a piece, took a bite, and commented, "It's delicious, sweet and soft, and better than the ones sold outside."

Although she knew that there was a lot of water in Lu Yan's evaluation, Shen Qing still couldn't help curling her lips.

She picked up a piece right after that, and it tasted really good, which was worthy of her getting up early.

Not long after, Li Ze and Chan Yi brought the remaining cakes and chicken soup. Shen Qing gave them a plate and let them wander around freely.

Looking at the goldfish-shaped taro paste cake on the plate, Chan Yi offered it to Li Ze like offering a treasure, "Try it, I made it myself."

Li Ze's eyes lit up, picked up the taro paste cake and took a bite, only to feel that the sweetness went straight to his heart, and he couldn't help rubbing Chan Yi's head, "Delicious, little girl is really amazing."

Chan Yi shyly turned her head slightly, and the tip of her ears also turned slightly red.

On the other side, Shen Qing had already served Lu Yan chicken soup.

Lu Yan swallowed the chicken soup under Shen Qing's eager eyes, and then... his throat tightened.

How much salt did Shen Qing put in?

But in the end, he didn't want to hit Shen Qing's self-confidence, so he said against his will that it tasted good, and took the bowl in front of Shen Qing, "The weather is hot, and there are many tonics in the chicken soup. People with healthy bodies will easily get angry after drinking it. I'll make you some tea."

Shen Qing felt that what Lu Yan said made sense, and thought that Lu Yan liked to drink the chicken soup stewed by himself, so he served him another bowl.

Lu Yan accepted Shen Qing's care with a smile, and then drank it all without changing his expression.

As the sky gradually darkened, Lu Yan stood up and left, and Shen Qing sent him to the door.

Along the way, Lu Yan's expression was very normal, and it was not until he returned to the yard that his expression changed slightly, and his steps could not help but speed up a lot.

Li Ze followed with a surprised look on his face, and saw that his always elegant master picked up the teacup and took a big gulp, like a rough man who didn't care about details.

Li Ze was shocked: "Master, Miss Shen doesn't allow you to drink water?"

Lu Yan drank another large cup of tea, and finally felt that his dry throat was a little better. Then he responded to Li Ze with a complicated expression: "It's salty, really salty."

Li Ze: "..."
