98. Sweet and rich white tea in a cup

Naturally, Pei Nianyu didn't know at all that this "guest" in his house was about to be recalled by his younger brother, so he just ordered someone to make a medicinal meal on time, and delivered it to Li Han three times a day.

On the second day, Pei Nianyu continued to practice the first style of martial arts, but he was much more proficient than before.In terms of pure competitive moves, he was able to defeat Lou Yefeng without any suspense.

Xu Shi Lou Yefeng saw his master's rapid progress, as if he had opened his eyes, even his serious face during the martial arts practice rarely showed a slight appreciation.

And Lou Yefeng didn't know... His master's intention was to change his previous attitude and suddenly become more serious, just to finish learning today's things earlier, so that he can pester Ye Feng to continue teaching him acupuncture pointsup.

He naturally got his wish, and succeeded for another day.

After the day's martial arts practice was over, before the two went back to their rooms to rest, Lou Yefeng suddenly added another sentence:

"Master, if you are free tonight, can this subordinate come to you?"

Pei Nianyu thought to himself, why do you need to ask for instructions when you come to my house, what does this purposely ask mean.If something goes wrong, there must be something strange, could it be... wanting to do something indescribable to me?

Whoops.

Pei Nianyu thought about it for a moment, and nodded with a smile in agreement.

However, Lou Yefeng also seemed to feel that the words just now were somewhat ambiguous, so he quickly added:

"It's my subordinates who want to report some matters to you, but...it's not convenient to speak directly in front of the shadow guards."

"..."

Seeing his serious face, Pei Nianyu knew that he was thinking about it.

But in the middle of the night... maybe something else could happen.

He thought for a while and said:

"Then I'll go to your room at night, there are always shadow guards near my main room."

"... also good."

Today's homework ended two hours earlier than usual. After Pei Nianyu took a bath and had a meal, it was not yet time.

Perhaps Lou Yefeng's mood improved after reconciling with Ye Feng, or Lou Yefeng's obedient and docile behavior in the past two days gave him a lot of advantages. When Pei Nianyu was wandering around the mansion, he suddenly remembered beingThe shadow guards who have been left out for several days.

Those shadow guards... It seems that it has been a long time since they have eaten the snacks made by him!

Before, he went all out to quarrel...

No wonder had to compete with Fang Heng for a few pieces of dim sum, scarcity increases value.After all, the snacks produced by Yun Shao in a big kitchen in batches are not comparable to those made by himself.

Thinking of this, Pei Nianyu turned and went to his small kitchen.

Although not all of his precious shadow guards are familiar with each other, more than half of them can't even be named.But he is always willing to do something for them in his free time.

Dim sum is small and easy to make, and it doesn't take much effort. One pot can be shared by many people, so Pei Nianyu always chooses to make dim sum as a welfare for the shadow guards from time to time—even though it is not valuable.

He was busy in the kitchen, Yun Shao and Lou Yefeng helped him, but he didn't want a shadow guard to report that Li Han wanted to see him suddenly.So Yun Shao looked at the oven, cleaned his hands and came outside Hanqiu Pavilion.

Pei Niancheng was not around at this time, so of course Li Han couldn't be rude enough to go directly to the kitchen in the inner courtyard to find the prince, and just quietly waited by the porch at the entrance of Hanqiu Pavilion.Seeing Pei Nianyu walk out, he explained to him that he was going to leave early.

Pei Nianyu was stunned for a moment:

"Xiao Sheng...called you back suddenly? Is there something urgent?"

Li Han pursed his lips and shook his head:

"There is no urgent matter in the palace, it's just that the end of the year is approaching, and there are many affairs, and I need my subordinates to go back and deal with them."

Pei Nianyu frowned:

"But the internal injury on your body... it's only been in for four or five days, so it's not going to be healed."

"There is no problem with the medicated diet of the prince. I still need to thank the prince for taking care of me."

Although Pei Nianyu disagreed, he also knew that Xiao Sheng's affairs were all business.It's a big national matter, not like his house which is a nosy thing all the time, since Xiao Sheng specially ordered him to go back early, it seems that his brother's place really has no skills.

Tsk, many years ago, Xiao Sheng instilled in him the so-called "emperor's mind" all day long, saying that he should not rely too much on a certain subordinate, and in the end he was inseparable from his right-hand man, squeezing the labor force of the disabled and sick every day.

So he could only nod his head in agreement:

"Then after you go back, remember not to be too tired. I still need you to take this medicinal recipe for more than three months. You have to remember to ask someone to come and pick up the prescription every day."

Li Han obviously didn't expect so many, he was taken aback for a moment:

"This... how to make it?"

Pei Nianyu thought that Li Han felt that it was too troublesome to come to get it every day, so he said:

"Anyway, Xiao Sheng sends shadow guards to my house to beg for food every day..."

Li Han: "..."

"Ah, no, if you bring something to eat, then just bring it back to you by the way."

Li Han seemed to be hesitating for a moment whether he should say the next thing:

"Returning to the lord, it's actually, ahem... this medicinal diet needs to be specially ordered to be cooked separately. As the leader of the shadow guards, the daily diet is different from other shadow guards...it's not appropriate."

Pei Nianyu thought that they had so many rules, but Li Han himself felt that this kind of thing was inappropriate, so he could just give Xiao Sheng the medicinal recipe and it would be over.

Pei Nianyu knows his younger brother very well—not to mention the relationship between him and Li Han, just to make his right-hand man live a long life and work for him for a few years, Pei Niancheng will definitely issue a compulsory order to make him work every day.Those who eat this medicinal diet for healing the body.

The shadow guard retired at thirty-five?

That probably doesn't exist for Li Han. When he reaches thirty-five, he will retreat to the second line at most and do some work such as secretly managing some intelligence systems for Pei Niancheng.

"...Since you insist so much, let's discuss it again."

"yes."

"Since you're going back, there's no rush for an hour or two, just wait a moment, I'll make these snacks and bring them back to Xiaosheng."

"Thank you, my lord, for caring about my master."

Not long after Li Han left, Fang Heng also came to say goodbye, saying that he would go back to the palace with Li Han, and thanked him for bothering him these days.

Pei Nianyu asked casually:

"I don't want to disturb you, but these few days you have competed with the shadow guards in my mansion... have you gained anything?"

Fang Heng: "..."

Dim sum harvest, no.The harvest of being beaten is a lot.

But how dare he show any dissatisfaction in front of the prince, he just nodded and said:

"There are so many masters in the prince's mansion, it really makes me see a lot and benefit...a lot."

Seeing his expression of wanting to mourn but not daring to mourn, Pei Nianyu couldn't help but chuckled inwardly, and then said:

"I made a lot of snacks today, and you can take some of them to Xiao S... to His Majesty. Then I will pack a few big boxes for you, and you will share some with the shadow guards there when you go back."

Fang Heng was stunned for a moment, he really didn't expect that the prince would care about other shadow guards that he had never seen before...

"My lord, the shadow guards in our palace don't lack food and drink on weekdays..."

"I know this, but you are usually too busy and have many rules, so you can't leave the palace easily. I'm afraid you don't have a chance to buy fresh snacks. The level of the imperial dining room in your palace... Tsk."

Fang Heng was silent. They really rarely had the opportunity to taste this kind of delicacy in the world. Their daily diet was just to meet the errands according to the standard of meat and vegetables.It is enough to eat, but in terms of deliciousness, it is far different from the dim sum made by Wang Ye.

So even if Fang Heng knew it was inappropriate to do this - the prince gave the shadow guard a snack, which is called a reward, how can there be such a casual sentence as "Take it back and share it" like King Yu?

But Fang Heng also knew that the opportunity was rare, in order to bring back some benefits for his brothers, he agreed after thanking him.

After the new pot of dim sum was baked and cooled, Pei Nianyu found a huge ten-layered round suitcase, which contained four bags in total, and it was full of various dim sum.

Fang Heng looked at the four snacks on the ground, he didn't expect there to be so many, his face turned green:

"This...subordinate doesn't have four hands..."

"It's not easy. I'll give you a pole and you can pick it up."

Fang Heng: "......???"

His face turned green, and he wanted to lose the face of the royal shadow guard.

"Hahaha just kidding, I'll let someone pull you there in a car. But you can tell me a place, so it's convenient for handover. It saves you from being checked by other shadow guards, and there's only one box left when you arrive."

Fang Heng said in his heart, lord, do you think the shadow guards in the palace have the same style as yours?

"...That's not going to happen."

Then Pei Nianyu wrote some explanations about Li Han's old physical illness.There was another box of snacks for Pei Niancheng, which Li Han took back to the palace alone.

………………

After Li Han and Fang Heng left, perhaps because the shadow guards knew that there was no fight to fight, they couldn't help but feel a little bit depressed.An An hid quietly in the shadows, her breath was calm and peaceful, and the whole mansion fell silent.

After night fell, Pei Nianyu guessed that Lou Yefeng had finished practicing kung fu to recuperate from his injuries, so he made two recently tried drinks and took them to Lou Yefeng's room.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw He Qi and Lou Yefeng sitting in front of the Eight Immortals table in the main room, their expressions were indifferent and they were chatting nonchalantly.

Pei Nianyu was stunned for a moment:

"Old He, why are you here?"

What about the two-person world...

He Qi thought to himself, Master, you really don't welcome me, so I had no choice but to restrain my expression and put on a respectful look:

"...Professor Lou invited me to come and talk about something."

Pei Nianyu: "...Oh."

He didn't show anything on his face, he walked up to Lou Yefeng and sat beside Lou Yefeng, and handed him a long cup.

The cup was light wood color, completely different from the small porcelain cups used to pour wine and tea, it was made of unknown kind of wood, and its shape was regular and round.

It is generally in the shape of a tall cylinder, and it looks like it can hold a lot of water, just like the wooden cups that farmers use to drink water in the fields.But there are many simple and beautiful lines and lines carved on it, so it is estimated that some new popular styles have been produced by the manufacturing office in the palace.

"Ye Feng, try it... This is the red bean and taro milk tea I just tried."

He turned the lid of the wooden cup to the left, and the steam was steaming, and a sweet and milky aroma came to his nostrils, and a hint of the rich fragrance of purple taro could be faintly smelled in the middle.

"Master, this..."

Lou Yefeng had never tasted this kind of sweet and greasy food, but what the master made... must be delicious.

He picked up the cup and took a sip, but he didn't expect that it was not as sweet as he smelled.At the entrance of the slightly hot milk tea, the rich milk fragrance spreads in the whole mouth, and it is also wrapped in a ball of sweet and soft taro puree.

When the aroma dissipates, there is a clear tea taste aftertaste, which stays on the bottom of the tongue and gradually produces fluid.

Pei Nianyu's starry eyes:

"How about it? I made it with Nanrong Mountain black tea, and I know you don't like it too sweet, so I didn't add a lot of sugar."

In fact, this cup of red bean and taro milk tea is still very sweet to Lou Yefeng... It's not because of the sweet taste, but...

He lowered his head and nodded quickly:

"Of course it's delicious. Master... please remember the taste of your subordinates, I've troubled you."

Pei Nianyu blinked and drank a few sips—his own cup contained more sugar, then squinted his eyes in satisfaction:

"It really tastes good, Ye Feng, as long as you like it. You need some hot milk tea in winter."

He Qi: "..."

Master, can you just take a look at your subordinates, but your subordinates keep vigil for you every day in this winter night...

Perhaps He Qi's eyes were too resentful, and Pei Nianyu didn't mean to leave him alone on purpose, and immediately said:

"Yun Shao still has half a can. If you want to drink, go to her and ask for a cup, but if you come late, she may take it away."

"Yes! This subordinate thank you Master!"

He Qi immediately stood up and wanted to leave, but he turned to look at the master and the old building.

After all, he was called here to discuss matters with the master, so why did he leave the master here just for a cup of milk tea?

It would be too rude.

The master doesn't care about the rules, how could he be so presumptuous.

So He Qi took back his outstretched legs with difficulty, and continued to sit at the table of the Eight Immortals, sitting upright:

"...Don't be in a hurry at this moment, master, let's talk about things first."

Pei Nianyu paused, then turned his head and looked at him steadily:

"...Old He, are you sure?"

He Qi looked serious, turning a blind eye to the two cups in front of him that had been wafting with fragrance.

Pei Nianyu smiled, turned back and took a slow sip, then slowly tasted the red beans that slipped into his mouth, looking at the constantly beating and increasing food value numbers on his system panel.

He Qi: "..."

Pei Nianyu was amused by his erratic eyes that always looked at the cup, and chuckled lightly:

"Hurry up and ask Yun Shao, it's too late."

As if He Qi had been pardoned, the black shadow rushed into the night.

Seeing him leave, Pei Nianyu turned around and closed the door, and inserted a latch.

Lou Yefeng: "...Master, this..."

Pei Nianyu said: "Don't you want the other shadow guards to hear it? Why did you call Old He again. It has something to do with the shadow guards?"

"No, it has nothing to do with those shadow guards. It's just that if they listen to it, I'm afraid it won't affect you well. It's about something about your subordinates. I called Old He to report to him. After all, he is the..."

Pei Nianyu waved his hand and said with a smile:

"Then you report to me first, it's the same for Old He if you tell him alone."

As he spoke, Pei Nianyu reached out and picked up the palm of his hand on the table, slowly playing with his long, thin and strong fingers, while waiting to hear what he had to say.

Lou Yefeng looked down at the master's expression, and his heart gradually softened:

"...Yes. Here's the thing..."

…………

Here, He Qi went directly from the Kuayuan where Lou Yefeng was located to the small kitchen of Hanqiu Pavilion in three easy steps. Seeing that the light was on in the small kitchen and the sound was loud, he pushed the door open and entered:

"Sister Yun Shao, and that..."

Before the words fell, He Qi stopped himself first, because he saw that Yun Shao was already cleaning the earthen jar.

He was hurrying, but it seemed that... the points were gone?

He Qi couldn't help but feel lost for a while.

Yun Shao answered casually while brushing the jar:

"Commander He! It's really a coincidence that you came here, and the remaining half of the can has just been taken away by the shadow guards nearby..."

He Qi: "..."

He reluctantly glanced at the empty jar, turned around and wanted to leave.

Unexpectedly, Yun Shao suddenly laughed:

"Do you really think it's impossible to divide them all up? The master ordered me to leave a cup for you."

"what?"

Yun Shao gave He Qi the cup of taro milk tea that was left out earlier.

He looked at the milk tea that was still steaming and fragrant, and he couldn't be more moved:

"The master is too kind to his subordinates... woo..."

Yun Shao looked at him, smiled and said nothing.

Touched for a moment, He Qi immediately took the cup and went back to Dongkua courtyard. How could he keep the master waiting so long.

Then, he saw a locked door, and there was a sign on the outside that the owner ordered someone to make:

"My lord is here, please do not disturb."

He Qi: "..."

Standing outside the door, he took a sip of milk tea expressionlessly against the cold wind.
