Chapter 223 Visit
Two days later, Mo Hua went to see Mr. Zhuang again and played chess with Kui Lao.
When leaving, he met Bai Zisheng and Bai Zixi at the door.
During the New Year holidays, Mr. Zhuang was lazy and let the Bai brothers and sisters have a holiday.
They came here to pay their respects to Mr. Zhuang.
When Bai Zisheng saw Mo Hua, his eyes lit up and he asked, "Mo Hua, are you here to pay your respects to Mr. Zhuang as well?"
"Yes." Mo Hua nodded, "I have already met Mr. Zhuang and I am going home now."
Bai Zisheng felt a little regretful and then asked, "Can I go to your house to play?"
"Sure." Mo Hua said, then he was a little confused, "Why do you suddenly want to go to my house?"
Bai Zisheng said without hiding, "I want to eat meat."
"You don't lack meat, right? If you don't eat monster meat, you can also eat spirit meat."
Bai Zisheng looked around and whispered to Mo Hua, "Aunt Xue's cooking is terrible."
Bai Zixi glared at Bai Zisheng lightly.
Mo Hua was somewhat amused.
"Don't tell Aunt Xue, or she'll be angry." Bai Zisheng said.
"Don't worry." Mo Hua thought for a moment, then asked, "But will Aunt Xue let you go?"
"I've thought of an excuse." Bai Zisheng said proudly, "Just say that I've been grateful to you and Aunt Liu for their care, so I want to come and thank you."
"Okay, as long as you can convince Aunt Xue."
Bai Zisheng nodded and said, "Then it's settled, I'll tell Aunt Xue when I get back."
"Do you want to eat something? I'll ask my mother to make it for you in advance when I get back." Mo Hua said.
"I'm fine with anything, as long as it has meat." Bai Zisheng was not picky at all.
Mo Hua looked at Bai Zixi again.
Bai Zixi thought for a moment, and said softly, "Anything is fine."
When Mo Hua got home, he told his mother about it.
Liu Ruhua was a little surprised.
She had only heard Mo Hua mention that there were two siblings who studied with him under Mr. Zhuang, and they were children of a big family, with extraordinary appearance, excellent character and learning, but she had never seen them.
Now that they could come to play, Liu Ruhua was naturally happy.
"Although you are all just registered disciples, studying together, the relationship is deeper than that of fellow disciples in ordinary sects, so you must treat them well."
Mo Hua nodded.
In the evening, Aunt Xue brought Bai Zisheng and Bai Zixi to visit in person.
Aunt Xue still wore a veil, but her clothes were much more simple and elegant, and her cold temperament was restrained, looking much more easy-going.
Bai Zisheng and Bai Zixi were both wearing pale white and elegant Taoist robes. Although the materials were good, they did not look luxurious.
It was just that their appearance and temperament were too outstanding, and no matter how low-key their clothes were, they could not hide their extraordinary appearance.
As soon as the Bai family siblings entered the door, Liu Ruhua was stunned.
Bai Zisheng was handsome, with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, while Bai Zixi had skin whiter than snow, eyes like stars, and looked like jade sculptures.
She looked at Bai Zisheng, then at Bai Zixi, and couldn't help sighing in her heart:
"There are children in the world who are so beautiful."
Aunt Xue gave them a gift, a hairpin of the first grade, exquisitely crafted and gorgeous.
Liu Ruhua took out various snacks and treats to them.
In the clean and tidy living room, Mo Hua, Bai Zisheng and Bai Zixi sat on one side eating, while Liu Ruhua and Aunt Xue chatted on the other side.
Bai Zisheng glanced at Liu Ruhua and thought that other people's mothers were like this, smiling very kindly, making food for their children by themselves, and looking at their children intimately.
Bai Zisheng lowered his eyes, but his mother was not like this, and rarely smiled.
Bai Zixi's expression was still indifferent, with drooping eyelashes, and a trace of sadness and envy flashed across his autumn-like eyes.
Mo Hua didn't know why they were a little disappointed, so she pushed the food box in front of them:
"My mother made it specially for you, it's delicious."
Bai Zisheng's attention was attracted by the food box. He took a bite of the meat, his eyes lit up, and he asked curiously:
"What kind of meat is this?"
"It's a kind of rabbit meat, which is more delicate than ordinary monster meat, and it's very chewy and delicious, but it's very troublesome to make."
Mo Hua explained to Bai Zisheng, "My mother doesn't always make it for me when I want to eat it on weekdays. This time I'm taking advantage of you."
Mo Hua also took a bite and squinted his eyes contentedly.
Bai Zisheng was touched and said gratefully, "Thank you, Aunt Liu!"
Liu Ruhua smiled gently, "Eat more if you like it."
Bai Zisheng nodded repeatedly, and all his worries just now disappeared.
Bai Zixi looked at the cakes in front of him, a little absent-minded.
The cakes were colorful and varied in style, and each cake had a different pattern.
Some are osmanthus, some are plum blossoms, some are peach blossoms, and some are orchids. They look delicate and delicious, and exude a faint sweetness.
She didn't know which one to eat for a while.
Bai Zixi hesitated for a while, then started from the beginning and tasted them one by one. Some were soft and glutinous, some were crispy, and there was a faint floral fragrance.
They were all sweet in the mouth...
Seeing Bai Zixi's love of eating, Liu Ruhua couldn't help but smile, and couldn't help but admire in her heart: "This little girl, even eating is so beautiful."
Bai Zixi ate the cakes peacefully, and found that Liu Ruhua looked at her with gentle eyes. She didn't know what to do for a moment, and lowered her head slightly, with a faint blush on her fair cheeks.
Liu Ruhua liked it even more, poured a cup of tea, handed it to Bai Zixi, and said softly:
"There are still a lot of cakes. If you don't mind, take some back later."
Bai Zixi nodded and said softly: "Thank you, Aunt Liu."
Aunt Xue saw this and asked: "Sister Liu, I don't know how to make this cake..."
Aunt Xue can also make some meals, but she is not proficient, just barely enough to eat and fill her stomach.
The three of them went out to travel and study with Mr. Zhuang, and she made all the meals along the way.
Originally, Bai Zisheng and Bai Zixi didn't say anything while eating, but since they ate what Liu Ruhua made, they didn't like Aunt Xue's cooking much.
Every profession has its own specialty. Aunt Xue knew that she was not good at cooking, but for the sake of Bai Zisheng and Bai Zixi, she still wanted to learn as much as possible.
Liu Ruhua saw that she had an extraordinary temperament. Not to mention that she had never touched ordinary water, she should have rarely come into contact with these things, so she started from the most basic, ingredients, heat, steaming or frying, one by one.
Aunt Xue only then realized that there were so many ways to cook. If you want to make a dish that is colorful, fragrant and delicious, you need many processes and patience, which is very laborious.
Bai Zixi looked indifferent, but his eyes were all on Liu Ruhua, and he listened very seriously.
After a while, Mo Shan came back and was slightly surprised to see that there were guests at home.
At the end of the year, Mo Shan also had a lot of social activities, welcoming and seeing off guests, exchanging gifts, and occasionally drinking with the brothers in the monster hunting team. He had been running around for most of the day and just came back now.
Liu Ruhua briefly introduced him, and Mo Shan also smiled and nodded. Seeing the appearance and temperament of the Bai family brothers and sisters, he was secretly surprised.
Such a noble family child with a dragon and phoenix appearance would go to Mr. Zhuang to study with Mo Hua, which shows that Mr. Zhuang is indeed an extraordinary master.
It is indeed a great opportunity for Mo Hua to be accepted as a registered disciple by Mr. Zhuang.
Mo Shan was more and more grateful to Mr. Zhuang in his heart.
Bai Zisheng saw that Mo Shan was tall and heroic, his eyes were like swords, and his steps were light, so he was interested and said: "Uncle Mo, you are a monster hunter."
