Once you become a boy, marry a good man, and become rich together

Chapter 232 Making Tea

Ye Wan and Lin Shan stayed here for a while after dinner and then left.

Lin Jingchen saw them off at the door.

Looking at his son, who is tall and slender, with a scholarly air and a youthful look, I feel very proud.

"I'll come see you next time when I'm free."

"Okay, if you're not busy at home, you can bring Jing'an and Jingxuan to the city to play."

"gone."

Ye Wan waved to Lin Jingchen from the window of the carriage, "Go back."

Lin Jingchen watched the carriage go to the foot of the mountain and follow that road before turning back.

Xiao Nanchi stood next to him without knowing when.

"Why are you here?"

Xiao Nanchi turned his head to look at Lin Jingchen and said with a smile, "Can't you come out and get some fresh air?"

"Okay, let's go back now."

"Your parents showed up so suddenly today, I wasn't prepared."

The second half of the sentence left Lin Jingchen confused. "I also feel it's sudden, but what preparations are you going to make?"

In fact, after saying this, Xiao Nanchi felt something was wrong, but fortunately Lin Jingchen was just asking casually.

Xiao Nanchi changed the subject, "You don't know, a child like you who is praised by others at first glance, walking in the village, must be someone that all the elders in the village care about; but I, I get scared when I see those relatives and elders."

"After I pass the college entrance examination, I will take you to visit our village and let you experience what it feels like to have the elders of the whole village praise you."

In Lin Jingchen's opinion, Xiao Nanchi is a very good and excellent person. He is talented and knowledgeable, has good looks and personality, and comes from a good family. If the aunts and uncles in the village see him, they will definitely surround him and praise him, and wish their children could grow up to be like him.

"Okay then, I'll be waiting then."

Xiao Nanchi put his arm around Lin Jingchen's shoulders and said, "Don't work so hard. I think you will definitely pass the exam and become a scholar."

"Then I'll lend you some good advice."

When we arrived at their yard, we found it was cleaned thoroughly after dinner.

Xiao Nanchi thought of the pastries he had made, "This is the first time I made pastries for someone else. It's a pity that you didn't get to taste them when they were at their best."

There were elders here just now, so he was embarrassed to say it.

"Ah, it tastes delicious. I didn't expect it wasn't the best time to taste."

Xiao Nanchi looked at Lin Jingchen with a smile on his face and was very pleased with his words.

"My sister sent me a pack of new tea yesterday. Want to try it?"

Xiao Nanchi didn't say that he would make tea himself, he just wanted Lin Jingchen to make it, and Lin Jingchen readily agreed.

Lin Jingchen was boiling water in the kitchen, and Xiao Nanchi took out all the tea leaves and tea-making utensils in the house and placed them on the exquisite stone table outside.

This table was also brought by Xiao Nanchi. It looks beautiful and practical when placed in the yard, and it is not afraid of wind and rain.

Lin Jingchen didn't add much water to the pot and it boiled in a short while.

Lin Jingchen's tea-making technique was taught by Xiao Nanchi. When he was at home, he often drank tea made from various dried flowers, and everyone at home liked to drink it. He definitely had never drunk tea like this at home, let alone brew it.

The smooth movement of the white and slender fingers holding the white jade teacup is really pleasing to the eye.

Xiao Nanchi, who was sitting nearby, was watching the scene with a smile on his face. His eyes were always on that hand, as if he was attracted by it and couldn't look away.

When he saw the fingertips pinching the white jade teacup soaked in hot water, a faint blush appeared on her face. Xiao Nanchi didn't even blink, for fear of missing any details.

"Xiao Nanchi?"

"Ah?" Xiao Nanchi finally came to his senses.

Lin Jingchen looked up at the dazed Xiao Nanchi with doubt, "I can't even hear you when I talk to you, what are you thinking about?"

"No, it's nothing."

Xiao Nanchi held his cheek with his palm and leaned his elbow on the stone table, sitting crookedly. His ears, which were hidden by his hair, had turned pink at some point.

Lin Jingchen was puzzled as he looked at Xiao Nanchi who was sitting crookedly. Coming from a big family, Xiao Nanchi was not a naughty boy and his manners were impeccable, so the sitting posture of Xiao Nanchi seemed even more problematic. However, Lin Jingchen did not delve into it.

"All right."

Lin Jingchen placed a teacup in front of Xiao Nanchi and said, "Try it and see if my tea-making skills have improved."

Xiao Nanchi touched his ears casually with his fingers, sat up straight, picked up the teacup, blew on it a few times and took a sip.

Lin Jingchen looked at Xiao Nanchi with a strange look, "Isn't it hot?"

Xiao Nanchi said with a stiff upper lip, "It's okay."

Normally, he couldn't eat hot food, and this time it was so hot that he wanted to stick out his tongue. He didn't know why he cared so much about his image at this moment. He clenched his teeth and didn't stick out his tongue to let it cool.

Fortunately, the tea was not very hot, otherwise he would not be able to taste anything afterwards.

This time his sister got this kind of tea and it tasted good. Next time he writes to her, he asked her to send him some more.

"How about it?"

"Delicious."

Lin Jingchen looked at Xiao Nanchi who seemed a little absent-minded and did not continue asking.

The number of times Lin Jingchen has brewed tea can be counted on two hands, and his tea-brewing technique is only half-baked.

This is delicious. It’s either because he brewed it or this tea is delicious.

"My parents brought me some things. I'll bring some to you later."

"Okay? What is it?"

"Soap, soap, and some homemade sugar."

"Okay then, are there a lot of soaps or are they easier to buy at your place?"

Although they had only been together for a month, Lin Jingchen's trust in Xiao Nanchi was almost as much as his trust in his classmates who he had been with for several years.

"These are what my family made, of course there are more."

Xiao Nanchi was stunned for a moment, "When I went to buy it, the shopkeeper said that it was only produced by Qingyunfang."

"Well, everything in Qingyunfang was thought up by my brother Ci, my eldest brother's husband."

Xiao Nanchi brought the teacup to his lips and took another sip, as if he wanted to use the small teacup to shield his face. "That's amazing! I didn't expect that Qingyunfang is your factory."

Although he saw that Lin Jingchen had soap and toothbrushes when they first started living together, he did not associate him with Qingyunfang.

After all, this man only had three sets of clothes, one of which was made of linen. His pens, ink, paper and inkstone were not used well, and he lived a very frugal life.

He thought Lin Jingchen was just a man from an ordinary family in a small place, and he helped Lin Jingchen with some things. Suddenly he knew about Qingyunfang, which was run by his family.

What Xiao Nanchi didn't know was that if Lin Jingchen's family was from a small place with average financial conditions, if he wanted to study here, he would definitely not wear silk clothes, his meals would not be in the conditions they are now, and he would not be idle in the yard during his days off.

Just looking at how well this toothbrush soap sells in the capital city, I knew it would definitely make money. Now I suddenly realized that the friend I had secretly wanted to help before was not poor!

How embarrassing!

Xiao Nanchi didn't have to think so. Lin Jingchen thought that the things the two of them added in the room, the main hall and the yard were because the eldest young master disliked the simple environment and added or replaced new things in the yard little by little, and also changed the bedroom of his classmate with whom he got along well.

"My brother Ci is really amazing!"

After drinking tea, Lin Jingchen brought Xiao Nanchi into the room.

Lin Jingchen picked up a bag of candy on the shelf, opened it and handed it to Xiao Nanchi.

"Try it, it's homemade, it's delicious."

Xiao Nanchi picked up a piece at random and put it in his mouth.

Lin Jingchen put the still-opened candy on the shelf and found a piece of oil paper for wrapping something next to it.

Pour maltose onto half of the blank wax paper and wrap it up.

Xiao Nanchi, who was eating maltose behind Lin Jingchen, tasted the sugar and his eyes lit up.

Lin Jingchen turned around and saw Xiao Nanchi like this, "How is it, delicious!"

“Delicious, very mellow!”

Lin Jingchen handed the package of maltose to Xiao Nanchi, "Here, keep it for yourself."

She placed all the soaps on a small table for Xiao Nanchi to choose from.

Xiao Nanchi looked through them and said, "It's hard to choose. When I bought soap at Sifangyuan in Beijing before, there were only a few left."

"Then take two more."
