CHAPTER 284: CHAPTER 284: OSMANTHUS BREW

"Xuan Ying came back earlier and said everything was cleared up?" Shen Qinglan asked.

"Yeah!" Duan Yunfei replied, "Although the process was a bit unexpected, the ending is still not bad."

Seeing the frustration on his brow fading away, Shen Qinglan felt much more at ease.

She didn’t know when she started caring more and more about Duan Yunfei’s mood, whether it was good or bad.

"How is uncle doing?"

Shen Qinglan picked up the teapot and poured him a cup of tea.

"He’s alright!" Duan Yunfei said, "But recalling the past inevitably brings sorrow, it’ll get better slowly."

"How about Feng Wuya..." Shen Qinglan asked hesitantly.

"Him?" Duan Yunfei sighed softly, "I guess he’s still feeling guilty."

"No matter what, it’s good that things are cleared up!" Shen Qinglan said, "After all, the result isn’t bad."

Duan Yunfei looked at her apologetically, "I delayed the opening of your teahouse, you don’t blame me, do you?"

"Why would I blame you?" Shen Qinglan smiled silently, "I insisted on coming back with you, it’s unrelated to you."

"Silly!" Duan Yunfei flicked her forehead lightly, ignoring her displeased look, and said with a smile, "While no one’s around, could you tell me the story of the fifth Chapter?"

"Alright!" Shen Qinglan cleared her throat and told him the story of Sun Wukong’s havoc in heaven.

When she finished, the sunset had disappeared without a trace.

"Young Master, Miss Shen!"

Just as night fell, Xuan Ying came in carrying two meal boxes.

He laid out the dishes and said, "Sister Zi Yun said the lady hasn’t awakened yet, so there’s no need to dine at Fangfei Courtyard tonight, thus bringing the dinner back here to eat."

Shen Qinglan quickly stood up and brought the remaining two jars of homemade wine over.

"Is this Miss Shen’s homemade wine?" Xuan Ying sat down beside them, curious, "The color of this wine is really beautiful!"

"Would you like to try?"

Shen Qinglan shook the wine jar towards him.

"Sure!"

Xuan Ying was delighted and quickly handed over an empty bowl.

Shen Qinglan filled his bowl to the brim before pouring one for herself and Duan Yunfei.

Duan Yunfei took a sip, frowned, and said, "The taste is good, just a bit too sweet."

He always disliked sweet things, so after one sip, he didn’t touch it again.

Xuan Ying quickly drank a mouthful and then smacked his lips, "It’s tasty!"

Duan Yunfei looked at Xuan Ying and said, "Go and dig up a few jars of Osmanthus Brew from under the osmanthus tree in the backyard, leave this homemade wine for you all to drink."

Xuan Ying was thrilled and promptly asked, "Young Master, can I dig up one more jar?"

Duan Yunfei nodded, "Dig as much as you’d like!"

"Great!" Xuan Ying swiftly ran out of the room.

Shen Qinglan raised an eyebrow, "Is the Osmanthus Brew really that good? Why is he so happy?"

"It was brewed by my master," Duan Yunfei smiled, "Five years ago, I buried thirty jars of it. I intended to let you take a few jars back to try last time, but it slipped my mind because we left in a hurry."

"Five years old Osmanthus Brew?" Shen Qinglan laughed, "I have to try that."

When Xuan Ying returned, he was carrying three extra jars of wine.

Duan Yunfei took one jar and, as soon as he opened the clay seal, a refreshing fragrance spread instantly.

"How fragrant!" Shen Qinglan exclaimed sincerely.

Duan Yunfei handed the jar in his hand to her, "Want to try?"

"Huh?" she was surprised, "Aren’t we going to pour it into a bowl?"

Duan Yunfei raised an eyebrow, "Unless you’d rather pour the homemade wine back into the jar?"

"Miss Shen, you should drink wine jar by jar to truly enjoy it." Xuan Ying bit open the red cloth and took a bold gulp.

"Don’t listen to him." Duan Yunfei downed the rest of the homemade wine in one go, frowned slightly, then said, "Use this empty bowl."
