Lemony is a little cute

Chapter 1228: The Idle Person
There are many people drinking tea today, so Xia Ningmeng selected a pair of wood ash glazed covered bowls, which are works of famous artists, with beautiful shapes and warm colors.

She is quite good at making tea, and she can make two cups with both hands at the same time calmly and methodically.

Scrape the foam, rub the tea, shake the fragrance, serve the soup, cut the leaves, hang the lid, all in a smooth and flowing manner, pleasing to the eye.

"Xiao Meng, how did you manage not to get your hands hot?"

The one asking the question was Yuge. She also learned how to make tea by watching and hearing from others, but she just couldn't make the covered bowl no matter how hard she tried.

"If your hands are fast enough, they won't be hot." Wen Yu answered her. Yu Ge asked, "How fast is fast? It's hot no matter how fast it is."

"You'll get used to it if it gets hotter." Yu Ge glared at Wen Yu arrogantly. Ou Shaoyu asked, "Why do you have to shake the tea three times when you pour it?"

Xia Ningmeng said as she poured water in, "Phoenix nodded three times."

"Why did Fenghuang nod three times?" This time it was He Wei who asked.

"Why didn't Qinglong nod three times?"

The atmosphere was very relaxed and everyone chatted casually.

"Ask Qinglong about that."

Xia Ningmeng couldn't help laughing. Bella said, "The phoenix is ​​a lucky thing. The phoenix nods three times, which means three bows. It shows respect and means good luck and prosperity."

"Wouldn't it be more respectful to point it out four times?"

"Pray to the Buddha and worship the gods with three sticks of incense."

"May the heavens be prosperous, the earth be abundant, and the Lord be healthy."

When Xia Ningmeng was serving the soup, Xia Yixuan said, "For yellow tea, first Guan Gong and then Han Xin."

Xia Ningmeng nodded slightly, and tea was poured back and forth into all the field-shaped teacups, with the tea soup being of uniform strength.

"Guan Gong, what does Han Xin mean?" He Wei asked.

Yu Ge gestured twice and said, "Just now it was Guan Gong patrolling the city, now it is Han Xin reviewing the troops, it is like ordering tea."

Xia Ningmeng had great skill and her movements were smooth and pleasing to the eye. Not only did Ou Shaoyu regard her as a crazy fan, but Ou Yupeng and Mrs. Ou also enjoyed it very much. Everyone drank tea and chatted leisurely.

Ou Yupeng and Xia Yixuan would also talk about business matters.

Ou Yupeng wants to invest in Xia Yixuan's Xunqin Teahouse and open a branch in Sanya.

Xia Yixuan declined. Xunqin would not join, nor would he accept investment. He was the sole proprietor and managed everything himself. He did not pursue wealth too much, but only wanted to improve his reputation.

Ou Yupeng was full of regrets. He didn't expect to make money, but just wanted to drink tea in Sanya. After drinking tea at Xunqin, he could never find a place with such a good mood again.

"Mr. Xia, what are your plans for the rest of your trip? Stay in Sanya for a few more days. I'll host a dinner party and invite more people to liven things up."

"Thank you for the treat. The dinner will be held next time. I will take my sister to Hangzhou tomorrow."

"Leaving tomorrow?" Ou Yupeng felt regretful that he had come all the way here just to stay for one night. He wanted to treat the guests warmly.

"Wen Yu and others have invited me to watch Yue Opera. The tickets have been purchased."

"Come and watch a play. Do you need it? I'll arrange it for you." With their status and strength, they can invite anyone who wants to watch a play.

Xia Yixuan said in a gentle voice: "My good friends in Hangzhou have already made arrangements, so Mr. Ou doesn't have to worry about it."

I don't know how that person knew that I was going to Hangzhou, but he called early to arrange everything related to food, clothing, housing and transportation, and even gave a heads up to the theater.

As they were close friends for many years, Xia Yixuan was not polite.

After Xia Ningmeng poured the tea three times, Bella took over and Xia Ningmeng sat next to Yuge.

"Send me a copy of the video you took at the dinner table just now."

Yu Ge drank tea and took a lot of photos and videos while chatting. Xia Ningmeng didn't ask for tea to be poured, so why did she ask for it on the dining table?
"Row!"

"Send me one too." Wen Yu said. "We have a group, send it to the group, everyone can send their photos, and you can download whichever one you want." Ou Shaoyu said.

Yuge sent all the videos and photos to the group.

"Who are you having tea with?" I forgot that Bai Jinyu was also in the group, and it was Bai Jinyu who was speaking.

Ou Shaoyu replied: "Xiao Meng's brother and my parents are here."

"Xia Ningmeng's brother is at your house?"

Yuge and Ou Shaoyu were busy editing the video, and no one answered Bai Jinyu. He Wei was not in the group and was watching the video next to Wen Yu.

In the group, only Xia Ningmeng replied with a “Yeah.”

“When are you going to Hangzhou?”

When Xia Ningmeng answered Bai Jinyu's question in the group, Wen Yu said, "Xiao Meng, there's nothing wrong with your eye. Let's remove the white thread."

"what?"

Xia Ningmeng took a look at her fingers and it really worked. The redness and swelling of her eyes were not as severe as yesterday. It had improved a lot, with only slight friction when she blinked.

Although Xia Ningmeng didn't think tying a white string was a problem, she still removed the white string from her finger and returned Yu Ge's ring to her.

"Where are we going to go to Hangzhou tomorrow?" Yuge asked. Yuge's ticket was for two days later, so she had one day to travel.

"You are free to move around." Wen Yu replied.

"Forget friends when you see a beauty!" Wen Yu wants to take He Wei to see the ginkgo tree. Yu Ge and Xia Ningmeng naturally won't be light bulbs, so they will go their separate ways in Hangzhou.

In the afternoon, a group of people left the Ou family villa. After everyone left at once, the Ou family suddenly became much quieter.

Xia Yixuan brought everyone back to the hotel where they were staying. Bella looked tired. She had been on the plane for 14 hours and was a guest at the Ou family. She was now very exhausted.

After Xia Yixuan settled Bella down to rest, he went to Xia Ningmeng's room.

The suite was very large, with five large suitcases at the outer door. The two children had fallen asleep in the car, but now they were sleeping soundly on the bed. The room was very quiet.

Xia Ningmeng climbed onto the bed, holding her chin in her hands and staring at the two children in a daze.

Losing memory is very bad. When she opened her eyes, she saw two children of such age, crying for food and needing to be raised. She felt a heavy burden on her shoulders.

Xia Yixuan said in a low voice: "Ning'er, it's cold in Hangzhou, prepare some thick clothes."

"it is good."

Xia Ningmeng came to the outer room and opened the first box. The scent of ink wafted out instantly. The box was filled with paper, pens, books, ink and all kinds of stationery.

The most common thing is a thick stack of rice paper, with various regular scripts, official script, large seal script, small seal script, clerical script, and even oracle bone script.

Xia Yixuan picked up a page of oracle bone inscriptions at random.

"My shoulders carry the sun and the moon, my feet walk the universe, my love is as deep as the sea, and my grace is as high as the mountains."

"Ning'er's calligraphy has developed its own style."

Did you write it yourself? I guess you must have been a lazy person before, so you had the time to practice writing so many characters.

Xia Ningmeng casually threw a stack of characters into the trash can, which made Xia Yixuan exclaim "Oh". He bent down and quickly picked it out, but one corner was already a little wet.

He deliberately looked at the trash can. Why was there water at the bottom of the can? What a pity to waste such a good word. He stood up to get a towel to see if he could keep it after wiping it clean.

Xia Ningmeng didn't care at all. She opened the second box, which contained clothes for the two children. She took out two sets of thick clothes and opened the remaining boxes.

Wen Yu in another room woke up after only half an hour of sleep. He Wei was crawling on the bed, staring at him intently, which scared him when he opened his eyes.

"Hubby." He Wei said sweetly. Wen Yu felt as if he was being targeted by someone with bad intentions. He asked suspiciously, "What's wrong with you?"
