"It is me who sent you the invitation, Qing Yi."
Chang Zai Qing was startled and asked with a puzzled smile, "Fifth Young Lady is …"
"Last time Qing Yi came and left in a hurry so I did not have a good chat with Qing Yi. Qing Yi said that she would come over another day and I waited for a long time but did not see any movements from Qing Yi, so I could only send the invitation myself. Fearing that my seal was not appropriate, I used my Mother's seal. Qing Yi would not blame me right? "
Chang Zai Qing looked at the young female in front of her. She was smiling gracefully without any awkwardness at all. If one were to get entangled, it would seem that Chang Zai Qing was being calculative. Chang Zai Qing immediately smiled, "How could it be. It is Chang Zai Qing's luck to be invited by Fifth Young Lady." As she spoke, she quietly sized up Shen Miao. Last time when she returned to the Shen residence, even though Shen Miao was not cold to her, it was not considered warm and there were even a few places where she was rude. For an inexplicable and sudden invitation, Chang Zai Qing's heart was secretly vigilant.
"It is very cold in the main hall. Qing Yi better go to my room to sit." Shen Miao smiled as she stood up, "It is not far from here. I really cannot stand the cold wind."
Chang Zai Qing complied obediently. When they reached Shen Miao's room, Shen Miao let the maid serve tea and pastries. The stove was burning brightly and a small gap was opened in the window before closing the door. The room was warm but it was not stuffy.
Shen Miao pushed the teacup in front of Chang Zai Qing. Chang Zai Qing smiled as she picked it up to take a sip and her expression suddenly became somewhat strange.
"This is Zhu Dan Tea. The taste is very bitter and astringent without any fragrance. Most likely Qing Yi is not used to drinking it." Shen Miao smiled as she explained.
Chang Zai Qing's expression slightly paused. She was somewhat puzzled by Shen Miao's actions. The way to treat a guest was naturally to bring out the best tea leaves. Why would one use such poor quality tea to treat a guest? Was it to humiliate her? But Shen Miao's expression did not seem to be like this.
"Although this tea is bitter, it is very good for the body. Drinking it in winter can drive away the cold and keep warm. My father and brothers are all martial artists, so they always drink Vermilion Pill Tea in winter. Later on, the whole house drank this kind of tea." Shen Miao looked at Cang Zai Qing, "Qing Yi is from a scholarly family and most likely do not like to drink this kind of tea but our military family is not so particular about it."
Chang Zai Qing waved her hands and smiled, "Fifth Young Lady must be joking. The Chang family is just an ordinary family. Even though this Zhu Dan Tea is bitter, it is very good to people. After drinking it for a long time, one would not feel bitter."
Shen Miao shook her head, "It is easy to force it for a while, but it is difficult to force it for a lifetime."
Cang Zai Qing was surprised for a moment and only felt that there was more to Shen Miao's words and could not help but look at Shen Miao.
Shen Miao smiled, "Speaking of which, one heard that Qing Yi is currently living in the Shen residence. Are the people in the Shen residence treating Qing Yi well?"
"All are very good." Chang Zai Qing smiled, "They all take good care of me."
"You and Third Aunt are like-minded, so you must be very compatible." Shen Miao smiled, "Third Aunt has always liked to play with words and in the beginning Third Shu was very respectful towards her because of this. One think that you have also seen how well Third Shu treats Third Aunt. In the entire Third household, Third Aunt is the matriarch of the household. " She then sighed, "It is a pity that Third Aunt does not have a Di son. If there was a Di son, one need not be so worried."
Cang Zai Qing had stayed in the Shen residence for so long and naturally knew that because of the matter of the Third household not having a son, Chen Rou Qiu and Old Shen Furen were in conflict almost every day. It was just that she did not expect that Shen Miao would actually say such words to her. Shen Miao was after all an unmarried young lady, so it was somewhat awkward to talk about the matters of the Third household. However when Shen Miao spoke, her expression was natural, as if it was not something not worth saying. This made Cang Zai Qing unable to differentiate whether Shen Miao was precocious or naive.
