Liu Ruxuan looked left and right, and saw that all the chrysanthemums were well taken care of. She came to a cluster of chrysanthemums, picked out a brightly blooming one, and cut it off: "Xiyue, look at this flower, it's called chrysanthemum, you can make tea with it."
"Miss, is this still drinkable?" Xi Yue looked incredulous.
“Why can’t we drink it? This flower is good for clearing the liver and improving eyesight.” Liu Ruxuan said, putting the flower in her hand into the basket and cutting off another one: “Don’t just stand there, come and help me pick some too. Pick the ones without bugs, just pick the ones you like.”
"Oh." Xi Yue took the scissors and cut off a chrysanthemum with some doubt.
Liu Ruxuan looked at the other chrysanthemums and said as she cut them, "Look at those golden marigolds and chamomile, they're all fine, cut more of them."
"Yes, Miss," Xi Yue replied to Liu Ruxuan while cutting chrysanthemums.
Gradually, Xi Yue found flower cutting to be a very enjoyable activity, and the more she cut, the happier she became. Liu Ruxuan walked around, stopping frequently, searching for the perfect flower, and soon she had cut half a basket of chrysanthemums. Liu Ruxuan turned around and looked at Xi Yue, almost bending over with laughter. She saw that Xi Yue had cut all the flowers off the chrysanthemum stems, and even if there were any left, they were either unopened or unattractive, one or two flowers.
"Xiyue, don't just cut the top one! You've cut all the flowers off, it looks awful!" Liu Ruxuan exclaimed.
Xi Yue turned around, and there she was—just as Liu Ruxuan had described! The three clusters of chrysanthemums that Xi Yue had just walked over were now nothing but green leaves.
"I thought they all looked good, so I cut them..." Xiyue said shyly.
"Alright, there are still some jasmine flowers over there, let's go pick some." Liu Ruxuan called to Xiyue.
Xi Yue ran to Liu Ruxuan's side: "Can we drink jasmine tea too?"
"Of course." Liu Ruxuan smiled.
The fragrance of jasmine could be smelled from afar. Arriving at a jasmine field, one felt completely intoxicated. However, Liu Ruxuan and her companion did not notice Liu Yancheng and his son Guo Qingyuan chatting and drinking tea not far away, but Guo Xuyao did see Liu Ruxuan.
'It's her.' Guo Xuyao felt a slight surprise. 'She's actually from the Liu family.'
Guo Xuyao looked at Liu Ruxuan, and without even saying "sorry" to Liu Yancheng, he got up and walked towards Liu Ruxuan.
"Xuyao, where are you going?" Guo Qingyuan called out to Guo Xuyao, but Guo Xuyao ignored him, afraid that the girl would disappear in the blink of an eye.
"This..." Guo Qingyuan was puzzled.
Liu Yancheng glanced in the direction Guo Xuyao had gone and saw Liu Ruxuan. He turned back to Guo Qingyuan and smiled, "Brother Guo, it's alright, let's continue drinking tea!" He was thinking that Liu Ruxuan had no spiritual power, and keeping her around wouldn't bring any honor to the Liu family. It would be better to marry her off as soon as possible!
Guo Xuyao stopped not far from Liu Ruxuan and heard Liu Ruxuan saying while picking flowers, "The leaves and roots of this jasmine flower can be used for medicinal purposes. Generally, the roots are dug up in autumn and can be sliced and dried. The flowers are the same; they need to be dried. They have the effects of being pungent, sweet, cool, and clearing heat and detoxifying."
"Wow, Miss, you know so much!" Xi Yue imitated Liu Ruxuan, picking jasmine flowers one by one.
Liu Ruxuan suddenly stopped. Sensing someone behind her, she turned around and saw Guo Xuyao. Liu Ruxuan felt she had seen him somewhere before. After a moment's thought, she uttered three words, her tone tinged with uncertainty: "Guo Xuyao?"
Liu Ruxuan called out Guo Xuyao's name, which surprised him slightly. He didn't expect her to remember him. He then smiled slightly and said, "Miss Liu."
Xi Yue, who was bending over to pick flowers, turned around when she heard the noise and asked, "Huh? Who are you?"
"My name is Guo Xuyao. I once met Miss Liu... once." Guo Xuyao blushed without realizing it.
