Carrying the little lucky star, leading the villain on the road to exile

Bai Suihe smelled the aroma of roasting tea coming from the pot and quickly took out the tea leaves.

"These are getting a little burnt," Granny Pang said with a smile. "Should we have someone bring some more tea leaves?"

"That's exactly the kind of caramelized flavor we need," Bai Suihe said, quickly washing the pot, adding a little water, and pouring in some sugar.

Speaking of sugar, it was a scarce commodity in ancient times, and its price was quite expensive. Only those with some wealth would buy it for future use.

Bai Suihe added two large spoonfuls, and then, feeling it wasn't enough, added another spoonful.

"Is this for making sweet soup?" Granny Pang wanted to say that adding so much sugar would make it too sweet, but she held back.

"No, I'm making caramelized sugar." Bai Suihe was already gently shaking the spatula to help the sugar dissolve faster.

Granny Pang became even more curious about what was planned to be done today.

Once the soup in the pot started to bubble and its color began to darken, Bai Suihe poured in the tea leaves she had taken out earlier, and then poured in the goat milk she had prepared earlier as well.

Watching the color of the goat milk slowly blend into a brownish-red by the caramel color, Bai Suihe couldn't help but swallow hard. This was the perfect color.

It just tastes different from milk, but it's not unacceptable.

After boiling most of the pot, I poured it all out and said to Zisu, who had just entered, "Have two people bring over the ice basin. This needs to be chilled for it to taste good."

Zisu quickly did as instructed, and once everything was arranged, Gu Xingyang also arrived, drawn by the aroma.

"Mother, what delicious food are you making?" Gu Xingyang couldn't order others around, but after spending some time with her, everyone understood some of her actions. When she raised her hands high, she was definitely looking for her parents, and the servants had to do as she was told. Otherwise, if this young lady got angry, she would start howling at the top of her lungs.

The two girls who were specially chosen to hold her were Dang Feng and Dang Yu, who were relatively strong. Behind them were two young guards, Dang Min and Dang Qi, who were protecting her.

The four of them are now specifically responsible for Gu Xingyang. During the day, they play with her, and in their spare time, Gu Kaiyuan personally instructs them in martial arts, hoping that in the event of any unexpected situation, the four of them can protect Gu Xingyang's safety.

Of course, these are just the first batch selected, those who can work independently for the time being; the others are still in training.

Their family business will grow bigger and bigger in the future, and Gu Xingyang will have more and more people around her. All of these need to be cultivated for them from a young age.

Since having a child, Gu Kaiyuan and his wife have realized that parents should plan far ahead for their children. Although there is a saying that children and grandchildren have their own blessings, they only want to present all the best things to their daughter.

So what if they're young now? Children grow up in the blink of an eye. If we wait until then to prepare, we might forget something.

"You little glutton, you came running back as soon as you smelled something fishy." Bai Suihe was in a good mood, and she would soon be able to drink milk tea again. She reached out and took the person from her. "Mommy made some milk tea today, but unfortunately you are still too young, so you can't drink it."

Gu Xingyang wrinkled her little nose, "Mom, you studied medicine, how could you forget? The Shennong Materia Medica records that Shennong tasted all kinds of herbs and encountered seventy-two poisons a day, which he was cured by tea."

The Compendium of Materia Medica calls tea "the cure for all diseases".

"This is good stuff, how can you say a child can't drink it? And you've even mixed it with my food rations! This is unfair!" Bai Suihe's eyes flashed with surprise. "You even know this?"

Gu Xingyang tilted her head slightly with a smug look on her face, "Of course, I've memorized most of what Granny taught me. That damn talent of mine is unstoppable."

"Don't be too happy yet. The Classic of Tea describes tea as being able to relieve thirst and refresh the mind. You are still growing and don't need to refresh your mind. If you are thirsty, drink some pure goat milk or some plain water."

"At least for the next few years, you shouldn't touch this tea."

Bai Suihe said rather coldly that although she craved milk tea, she didn't want such a young child to come into contact with it.

This tea can be quite invigorating at times. What if such a young child, who has never been exposed to it before, gets too excited and overstimulates their brain?
"Mom, how could you do this? I used to envy you so much when I saw you drinking milk tea. Now that I have this opportunity, you're telling me I'm not allowed to taste this delicious treat. I won't allow it! No way! If you don't let me drink it, I'll make a scene."

Gu Xingyang blinked her innocent little eyes at Bai Suihe. The old nanny and others thought that the young mistress was trying to be cute with the madam again, after all, they had seen her do this kind of thing many times before.

"You've got some nerve, threatening me now?" Bai Suihe lightly patted her buttocks in annoyance. "If you're still not giving up, then let's ask the old lady in person. If she says you can drink it, I promise I won't stop you."

Gu Xingyang also thought it made sense, so she quietly nestled in Bai Suihe's arms.

Upon hearing Bai Suihe's question, Granny Pang thought she had a hearing problem. "Madam, what did you just say? Are you asking if this tea can be given to Miss?"

Bai Suihe nodded. "Granny, what do you think?"

"Madam is joking. How can you give tea to Miss?" Granny Pang shook her head firmly and said, "Miss is only a few months old now and is growing rapidly. Apart from drinking milk and water, you should try to avoid letting her touch anything else. I have already told you this simple principle before."

Even if you want to give tea to your daughter, it's best to wait until she turns one year old and give her some plain tea; that would already be quite generous.

"Look at this tea! It's been stir-fried and boiled so much, it's so strong! If the young lady drinks it, she'll be excited all day long. This is really hindering her growth!"

Bai Suihe pointed at Gu Xingyang, "Granny, I'm asking on her behalf."

Granny Pang snorted coldly, "Impossible. Although I am a bit old, I am not so blind as to be blind. Miss has been held by you ever since she came in. She doesn't even know where the milk tea is. How can you put the blame on her?"

After finishing her sentence, Granny Pang took Gu Xingyang from Bai Suihe's arms and said, "Miss, Granny will take you to play in the courtyard. I'll have the maid fetch some fresh goat milk later. Don't let Madam fool us; that's the best."

After saying that, fearing that Bai Suihe might actually let Gu Xingyang try her so-called milk tea, she picked her up and walked straight out.

Gu Xingyang waved her two short legs, only to be greeted by Bai Suihe's smug little face and waving hands.

"Mother, you've tricked me..."

Bai Suihe smiled at her, "Grandma is right. When you grow up, you can drink whatever you want."

Gu Xingyang let out screams, but this time Granny Pang showed no mercy. In an instant, she stepped out of the courtyard and led her towards the backyard. (End of Chapter)
