Chapter 113
Jade Bamboo
After Steward Qin seeing Wei Yi, Yun Chun, and the others change their clothes, he was waiting in the front courtyard . When he saw Mu Yunyao coming over, he immediately led her inside . “Young Miss, have a look, are these people alright?”
“Greetings, Young Miss . ”
Fifty people saluted in unison . Their white robes and white dresses were full of vigor, and they exuded an indescribable vitality .
Mu Yunyao was satisfied in her heart . These people had put in a lot of effort, and their manners were several times better than before . “Alright, follow me to the door and prepare to welcome the Lords . ”
Su Qingwu and Xu Li rode in the same carriage because they were both serving in the Palace and very popular in front of the Emperor . The two of them had some relations.h.i.+p, so they spoke more casually .
Su Qingwu was the first to speak, “Eunuch Xu seems to particularly appreciative of Miss Mu?”
Xu Li looked at Su Qingwu with a smile on his face: “Didn’t Lord Su also praise her immensely? Yesterday, If it weren’t for the fact that you asked about Bu Xian Lou, we wouldn’t have even thought of coming here to take a look . ”
Su Qingwu’s expression did not change: “Miss Mu’s mind is pure and innocent, to actually be able to pa.s.s down such a precious embroidery needling technique, it’s only right that you help out a bit . ”
“I think the same as Lord Su . ”
The two of them looked at each other and smiled . It seemed to be a gentle smile, but only those two who know its true meaning .
While talking, they had arrived at Jin Xiu Garden in the blink of an eye . The carriage stopped, and the coachman got off the footstool . Two of them came down, just as they steadied themselves, they were startled by the scene in front of them .
Mu Yunyao was the leader, while a group of around forty to fifty people stood behind her . Men and women stood separately on both sides . All of them dressed in white, with their waists and sleeves slightly wide . Each of them bowed and saluted . Their white clothes looked elegant and light .
“Greetings, my Lords . ”
Su Qingwu looked at Mu Yunyao . The dress on her body was extraordinarily elegant . The upper body was white, and the lower skirt changed from white to moonlight . At first glance, she was far from being as eye-catching as the people behind her .
In particular, a fresh magnolia hairpin in her hair with delicate petals, which was even whiter than snow, made her look even more beautiful and beautiful .
“Miss Mu, no need to be so courteous . ”
Governor Zhang and Cao Yunnian naturally came as well . It was just that the two of them mostly focused on Su Qingwu and Xu Li . They stood to the side with smiles on their faces and didn’t say anything .
Mu Yunyao got up and led them into Jin Xiu Garden . Wei Yi, Yun Chun, and the others bowed and maintained their salutation posture for a while . Only after everyone had entered did they got up to follow in their footsteps .
Upon entering Jin Xiu Garden, a clump of fresh green came into view . The green bamboo grew tall and straight, its branches and leaves rustling loudly . The spots on the bamboo branches were like tears .
Governor Zhang could not help but exclaim, “Is this Xiang Fei Bamboo? It’s quite rare to see one in Jingling City . ”
“Ling Shuang is unseen in all festivals and treats Fenglai with humility all day long* . To be able to receive all of you today, this Xiang Fei Bamboo has been especially pleasing to the eyes . But should it mean what it said in the poem?” Mu Yunyao’s eyes revealed a smile .
Governor Zhang could not help but shake his head . “What Miss Mu saying is that you have a good view here, and it is cheaper than us, ordinary people . ”
“If you claim yourself to be ordinary people, then how could anyone else in Jingling City have the qualifications to drink tea with me? What can I do other than closing the door? Mu Yun Yao smiled sincerely, and the words came out of her mouth, naturally with a heartfelt taste .
“Who doesn’t know, during the period when Lord Zhang served as Governor, he did a lot of things for Jingling and Jiangnan . Even, now all the children in Jingling City are still singing about it . The water in the Jingling River is three feet high and was comparable to the waves of Qiantang River . The Governor and the Zhizhou ordered together to dare to shout the waves to bend down . ”
Su Qingwu had a smile on his face the entire time, but Eunuch Xu beside him was a little curious after listening to this . “The Governor and the Zhizhou ordered together to dare to shout the waves to bend down . ” In the past few years, the Jingling river had nearly broken down the dike several times . Afterward, they smoothly pa.s.sed through it, and even the Emperor himself had praised them . Governor Zhang really contributed, and indeed indispensable . The Zhizhou was Lord Cao, right? I remember that before Lord Cao become the salt transport envoy, he was the Zhizhou of Jingling City . ”
Cao Yunnian immediately nodded: “Yes, Eunuch Xu has a good memory . ”
“Only when the people respected both of you, the children can know all about your achievements . ”
Governor Zhang and Cao Yunnian were so excited that their faces turned red . Eunuch Xu in front of them was a popular man in the Emperor’s eyes, as long as he could put in a kind word in front of the Emperor, it would be a great fortune for them . They really had to thank Mu Yunyao properly, and when they got back, they would give her a big gift!
Mu Yunyao was naturally aware of this truth . It was as if she had unintentionally complimented the two Lords and then led them around the bamboo forest, heading inside .
The more he looked, the more he found the Jin Xiu Garden’s scenery to be unique, especially when it pa.s.ses through the Jiuqu Bridge . The lake water was calm, reflecting the willows and gulls on the sh.o.r.e, the birds were frolicking around in the sand as if they had just walked out of a beautiful landscape painting .
The few of them stopped on the bridge, silently gazing at the picturesque scenery . For a moment, the guest’s minds cleared up as if they had forgotten the mortal world . Unknowingly, Su Qingwu turned his head slightly and saw Mu Yunyao standing beside him . With one hand on the white jade railings of the bridge, her gaze fell upon the lotus flowers that covered the lake . A tranquil smile hung on her lips, unlike the brilliance and purity with which she spoke previously, yet somehow made his heart tremble .
A gentle breeze blew past, rustling her skirt and causing her hair to flutter behind her back . A strand of hair just happened to brush past his body . It brushed against his hand like a feather, made a slight itch to spread to the bottom of his heart .
His arm stiffened, but his heart couldn’t help but sway . He had seen many women, including royal princesses and young miss of influential clans, who were all wild with him, and even those who didn’t care about him . However, no one had ever given him a feeling as complicated as that of Mu Yunyao .
Mu Yunyao did not sense that something was wrong with Su Qingwu, and after a few people admired for a moment, she said, “Lords, I have prepared a place in front for the Lords to drink tea, and enjoy the beautiful scenery, isn’t that wonderful?”
Eunuch Xu could not help but sigh . “Before I even drink the tea, My mind already intoxicated in it for a while . Young lady’s tea house’s scenery is really unique . ”
“Thank you for your compliments, Lord . ”
Not far away was Mu Yunyao’s six-story building, which was notorious for its name ‘Bu Xian Lou . But Eunuch Xu preferred the beauty of the lake and proposed to drink tea at the lakeside .
Everything had prepared, and it was just moving the place . Mu Yunyao immediately let Steward Qin take care of it .
When Steward Qin returned, he took advantage of the fact that there was no one around to inform Mu Yunyao, “Young Miss, Lady Jin sent Yin Hong . She said that she wanted you to focus on greeting the Lords . She and several Ladies will be coming over in the afternoon . ”
Mu Yunyao could not help but feel warmth in her heart . “Alright, since it’s just a few Lords, then there’s no need to let Wei Yi and Yun Chun display their skills in the tea ceremony . I’ll greet them . ”
“Yes, Young Miss . ”
The few of them sat down in the pavilion, the tables were low, and the seats covered with soft cus.h.i.+ons embroidered with lotus flower patterns . As they sat down, they felt more at ease, and the atmosphere became much more relaxed .
