Li Hua brewed the camellia tea for Qiu Qizhen and placed the teacup on the saucer before him on the table. "I hope Father-in-law will like the tea," Li Hua said with a smile.
Qiu Qizhen asked Li Hua to take a seat when Nuan Xi pulled a chair for her. Li Hua sat on it and waited for Qiu Qizhen to taste the tea.
Qizhen picked up the teacup and brought it close to his mouth. He first inhaled the scent of the camellia tea. The aroma of the tea was sufficient to tempt him to taste it. He took a sip of the tea and he felt so rejuvenated after taking a single sip of the tea.
"The tea is brewed well. It is my first time to drink such a tea with such an aroma," Qiu Qizhen replied and sipped more of it. When the tea finished, Li Hua poured more tea into the teacup and told him that she would send some sweets for him later.
