Chapter 77: Catching the Fish (IV)
The tea on the stove was still gurgling and bubbling. Cheng Yuanjing glanced down through the water vapor and said: “It seems that you were very preoccupied when I came in. Sit down and pour me a tea.”
Cheng Yujin’s eyebrows jumped, and she quickly instructed Du Ruo to remove the boiling tea. Cheng Yujin sat next to Cheng Yuanjing in an obedient manner, like a good little girl. She raised her head and smiled flatteringly: “Ninth Uncle, this tea has been brewed for a long time and already old. Ninth Uncle is a man of both literary and military talent, truly a peerless of your generation. I admire Ninth Uncle so much. How can I let you use inferior things? Du Ruo, change to new water.”
Du Ruo was also very frightened. She moved very quickly to change the boiling tea with fresh water. Cheng Yujin readjusted the fire, boil the water, and put in a new tea leaf. Her each and every movement was extremely serious, with a professional technique that was several levels higher than when she brewed tea for Lin Qingyuan just now.
The difference was obvious to the naked eyes. It could be seen that this was Cheng Yujin’s true level. One was to achieve absolute perfection, and the other was done in a casual manner.
Lin Qingyuan saw this and finally knew that Cheng Yujin didn’t use her real ability just now. He watched for a while and said sourly: “Sure enough, there are differences between a close person and an outsider. With Jingxing here, eldest miss Cheng is willing to come out with the best thing.”
Cheng Yujin glanced at Cheng Yuanjing and continued to flatter without blinking her eyes: “This is natural. I admire Ninth Uncle the most. Of course the things I prepared for him must be different from others.”
Lin Qingyuan listened on the side and clicked his tongue. Fortunately, he knew that these two were niece and uncle. Otherwise, both his arms would be filled with goosebumps.
