Chapter 400 Talking about things with tea
Satisfied, Chu Chaoyang said while heating the teacup, "Do you know what is good tea and what is bad tea?"

Huo Tainan understands that this question is not as simple as it appears on the surface, so he will not answer it carelessly. He replied: "The color, aroma, and shape of tea can distinguish the levels of tea, but there are many varieties of tea, and different types of tea are different, so it is necessary to distinguish The quality of tea depends on the brewed tea."

He gave a general answer, but there was a hidden meaning behind it, and Chu Chaoyang, the person who asked the question, naturally understood what he meant.

In this court, fish eyes are mixed with genuine ones, and different official positions have their own differences. It is inappropriate to use a single standard to measure.To really distinguish between good and bad, one has to look at his political achievements. This is the reason for who does what.

Even so, Chu Chaoyang was not satisfied. He said, "Actually, whether this tea is good or bad depends on people's hearts." Putting down the hot tea set, he said, "A cup of tea, who can guarantee that every piece of tea is Fine tea, but if it can get the fragrance of tea, then it is good tea.”

Huo Tainan seemed to realize something.

Grabbing a handful of tea leaves with bare hands, Chu Chaoyang said, "It's like these tea leaves. They look uneven, but they can also produce a delicate fragrance when mixed with hot water." After pouring the tea leaves, he patted off the tea crumbs and said, "Even these tea crumbs can contribute. The key is to blend."

This principle sounds easy, but in fact it is not as simple as it seems.

The muddy water in the court is by no means as simple as a cup of tea, on the contrary, the courtiers in the court have all classified themselves.

This is like mixing green tea and black tea, no matter how much hot water there is, it will only make people feel weird.

Chu Chaoyang was not in a hurry to explain, but took some tea leaves from each of the two tea pots, and immediately brewed them with hot water.

In an instant, the aroma of tea was blowing towards the face with heat, and in the dense heat, Chu Chaoyang handed the teacup to Huo Tainan.

Huo Tainan took it with both hands and took a sip. He only felt a faint tea fragrance hidden under the clear tea smell. Not only did he not find it weird, but on the contrary, the original tea smell became more mellow, which was really mysterious and extraordinary.

He raised his eyes to observe Chu Chaoyang's movements, and saw that he used the amount carefully, and couldn't help but feel a little touched.

There is no way to integrate the two, the key lies in "quantity".

Putting down the teacup, Huo Tainan said, "Father-in-law, my son-in-law understands."

Chu Chaoyang didn't say anything, and just focused on the tea set in front of him, as if he was completely immersed in the world of tea and couldn't extricate himself.

Chu Liangrao, who had been silent all this time, also felt something in her heart. She had to say that it was the right time to come back today. It not only answered Huo Tainan's questions, but also made her understand many things.

This tea is not only refreshing, but also has a refreshing effect, making people sober up a lot.

Those who teach are attentive, and those who listen are enlightened, which saves a lot of effort.

Afterwards, the conversation at the tea table became much more relaxed, and just as they were getting excited, a servant came to spread the word that the princess was thinking about Chu Liangrao, but she was not feeling well enough to see each other, and she hoped that Chu Liangrao would not blame her.

Hearing this, Chu Chaoyang couldn't help but his face darkened. This Mrs. Gu really had a plan, saying such things in front of her son-in-law, didn't she intend to force her to meet her?
Chu Liangrao also understood this truth, so she knew that it was unreasonable for her to come back so smoothly. Fortunately, with Huo Tainan accompanying her, she was not afraid.

At that moment, Chu Liangrao got up and said: "Father, my mother is seriously ill. As a daughter, I should serve the soup, but now I can only visit and express my heart." She looked at Huo Tainan and asked, "Husband, can you help me?" Willing to visit my mother with me."

"Yeah." Huo Tainan also got up, and said to Chu Chaoyang, "Mother-in-law is seriously ill, so my son-in-law must be close."

With Huo Tainan as his companion, Chu Chaoyang felt relieved, he said: "Many people who are seriously ill need rest, and you don't need to stay longer."

"Ah Rao remembered." Chu Liangrao responded softly, and took Huo Tainan's hand.

The two came to Gu's yard side by side, the yard was really clean, it really looked like a patient was recuperating.

Going further in, I heard Gu's voice asking: "But Ah Rao is here?"

Sure enough, they were waiting for him, Chu Liangrao replied with a clear face outside the door: "Yes, mother, Ah Rao brought her husband to visit you."

Seemingly not expecting Huo Tainan to come, Mrs. Gu was silent, and then said: "Come in."

Walking into the room, the room is also simple and elegant, even the supposed smell of medicine is not half, it doesn't look like someone who is seriously ill.

Sitting in the front seat, Mrs. Gu looked at Chu Liangrao with piercing eyes. When she saw her protruding abdomen, a trace of resentment flashed in her eyes.Just for a moment, she smiled and said: "Ah Rao is back, let mother take a look." After looking up and down, Gu said seriously, "Yo, you are really fat."

Hearing three people say this in one day, Chu Liangrao was really not happy at all, she frowned, and she didn't want to talk to Gu Shi.

Fortunately, Huo Tainan opened his mouth. He wrapped his arms around Chu Liangrao's waist and said, "Mother-in-law was joking. Although Ah Rao is pregnant, she is not growing fat. My son-in-law is just worried."

Sudden interruption by Huo Tainan, Gu suppressed her disdain and said, "Let's all sit down, everyone is a family, so don't be restrained."

As soon as the words fell, Chu Liangrao consciously sat aside, and Huo Tainan also sat beside her.

Although the two of them sat down, they were far away from Mrs. Gu, and Mrs. Gu couldn't get close to Chu Liangrao like the old lady, so she had to make do with it and said, "Speaking of which, as a mother, I I haven't seen A-Rao for some time, and now I feel relieved to see her like this." She patted her chest as she spoke, seeming very relieved.

Chu Liangrao almost retched, she endured it, she looked at Gu Shi and said: "Mother is worried, mother is not feeling well now, she should rest well, don't be sad because of Ah Rao."

The sincerity of these words seems to be very useful to Mrs. Gu, she said: "How can you not worry about it, after all, you are also the jewel in your palm, but now you are married..." She glanced at Huo Tainan meaningfully, and she sighed Get up, "I am really worried as a mother."

"Mother, Ah Rao is fine now." Chu Liangrao said affirmatively, and then asked Mother Du to take out the jadeite Ruyi that she had prepared, "A Rao is dull, and I don't know what to give my mother, so I have to choose After buying this emerald, I only hope that everything goes well for my mother."

With that said, Chu Liangrao opened the brocade box in front of Gu Shi.

For a moment, Gu's breathing couldn't help but slowed down a bit, and her whole body was tense, her eyes were fixed on the jade ruyi, and she couldn't move it away no matter what.
