Chapter 114
Han Dan Mi Fang Yuan
As soon as Si Cha put the tea set on the table, it attracted their attention . The tea set was completely white with the lotuses that reached the sky painted on it . If they looked carefully, they would see that it looked like the current scenery .
Su Qingwu finally could not hold it in and said, “Miss Mu, could it be that the design on the tea set is actually painted based on the scenery in front of us?”
“Yes, my Lord . Please excuse me . ”
“How can that be? The tea set is exquisite, and the pictures are both in shape and spirit . When I saw it, I couldn’t help but like it . ”
“Thank you for your praise, my Lord . ” Mu Yunyao started to brew tea . Su Qingwu wanted to say something . But he gradually lost his mind after seeing Mu Yunyao’s movements in brewing the tea .
Her movements were not quick and were fluid and smooth, carrying an indescribable gentleness and elegance . Her hand was still holding onto the white jade tea set, making it hard for people to tell which one was more attractive .
A gentle wind blew, and the fragrance of incense filled the air . Looking at Mu Yunyao’s movements, the few of them felt as though they heard a Buddhist chant . Gradually, they forgot about their ident.i.ties and only felt that their hearts calm down . It was only when the fragrance of the tea came that they finally regained their senses, and only felt relaxed and comfortable after a while .
Mu Yunyao folded her hands across each other and bowed, then handed over the teacups to them one by one . Su Qingwu carried the teacup absentmindedly . Just as he opened the lid, he was stunned by the scenery displayed . Within the white jade teacup, the tea leaves were like a lotus flower blooming at the bottom . He was startled, and his hands lost their balance . The tea immediately started to sway, and he almost couldn’t help but exclaim out loud, afraid that he would ruin the beautiful scenery in the teacup . But all of a sudden, the lotus flower scattered into the shape of a bird . It looks like the scene of the lake that he had just enjoyed .
The Lords remained silent for a long time as they carried their teacups in a daze .
“My Lords, If the tea is cold, it doesn’t taste good anymore . ”
Only after Mu Yunyao’s reminder, they regain their senses . The tea leaves in their cups had already settled to the end, and there were no more lotus flowers or birds . It was like a dream that left a tinge of regret in their hearts .
Eunuch Xu could not help but sigh . He took a sip of the tea in his cup and drank it all up . After Eunuch Xu was drinking all the tea in his mouth, the regret in his heart was gone, leaving only a sense of relief .
Governer Zhang could not help but shake his head . Even someone like him who did not know how to taste tea was able to discern the rarity of this cup, and could not help but ask: “Miss Mu, I wonder what kind of tea this is . It smells very fragrant as if lotus flowers are blooming in my mouth?”
“Actually, it’s not that famous . It’s just that the new leaves of the tea garden are carefully selected, dried, and stir-fried, and then the dewdrops on the lotus leaves and lotus flowers are collected and cooked . ”
“Is this the tea that Miss Mu made herself?”
“Yes . Previously, I was busy with matters of Ni Yun Fang, and often drank tea to refresh my spirit, but my mouth is picky, and could not stand the bitterness when drinking tea . So I chose to fry some of the tea leaves, and I hope that the Lords would not dislike me .
Eunuch Xu opened his mouth and said: “Miss Mu previously said that she would give me the tea leaves, and wanted me to bring them into the Capital . You can’t go back on your words . ”
Mu Yunyao was overjoyed: “Of course, as long as Eunuch does not mind, I will gift all the tea I fried to you . ”
For some reason, when Su Qingwu heard these words, he felt slightly unhappy in his heart: “Miss Mu is really too biased, I also want to return to the Capital, don’t you want to give me some?”
Eunuch Xu could not help but laugh out loud: “I had actually forgotten that Lord Su is here, but Lord Su has always liked Longjing, so don’t s.n.a.t.c.h this tea away from me . ”
Mu Yunyao immediately followed up: “Since Lord Su likes Longjing, then I’ll go buy some good stuff for you . ”
Su Qingwu was all smiles, but the displeasure in his heart had deepened . “I just kidding around with Miss Mu . How can I let you spend all that money? I had already ordered someone to buy it earlier . I finally made a trip to Jiangnan . Naturally, I had to bring some things back to my family . ”
Mu Yunyao smiled, but in her heart, she felt ridicule: That’s right, Su Qingwu values his family highly, even if it was just going out for two or three days, she would bring presents to them . Especially Eldest Miss of the Su family, Pearls from the East China Sea, Sichuan Brocade, and South Yarn . Su Qingwu had come for her, every time there was a precious item in the world . It was unknown just how many of the young ladies of the Capital were jealous to the point of turning red in jealousy .
Seeing that Mu Yunyao’s expression was slightly pale, Su Qingwu could not help but frown . He raised his head and looked at the six-story building: “Is that Bu Xian Luo that Miss Mu set up?”
“Yes . ”
With a cup of tea in their hands, they began to relax .
Eunuch Xu looked towards the pavilion and could not help but say: “I see that the pavilion is currently missing a signboard . ”
“That’s right . I wanted to find someone to make a better one, but I found that many words didn’t satisfy me . ” Mu Yunyao sighed .
The Eunuch Xu did not reply again . Mu Yunyao also seemed to have said it casually and poured more tea for them . The more he tasted, the more he found the tea hard to come by .
Many of the tea leaves tasted good, but they did not savor it . However, Mu Yunyao’s tea leaves have aftertaste the longest, as if he had heard a song, and each time he felt a new feeling .
After finis.h.i.+ng the tea, Mu Yunyao brought the others to observe the scenery of the garden . Their mind calmed down, and the view became much more pleasing to the eyes . As they walked through, they actually found beautiful scenery everywhere . Even after watching for more than two hours, they didn’t feel the slightest fatigue .
When it was noon, Mu Yunyao ordered some people to prepare some food: “The Lords, I have ordered some people to prepare some dishes, may I know if any of you are interested?”
Eunuch Xu shook his head . “There’s no need . We’ll be rus.h.i.+ng back to the Capital in a while . ”
“It was so fast …” Mu Yunyao was slightly disappointed .
“Didn’t you want to open a teahouse in the Capital? When Miss Mu’s wish fulfilled, I will still have a chance to taste her craftsmans.h.i.+p . ”
“Then, I must redouble my efforts . ”
Mu Yunyao took the tea leaves and some exquisite snacks that she had prepared before and sent the few Lords out of Jin Xiu Garden .
Before getting on the carriage, Eunuch Xu suddenly turned his head and said: “The signboard of the Bu Xian Lou’s tea house, if you really cannot find it, then you can wait for a while . ”
Mu Yunyao’s face carried a look of doubt, and she blinked her eyes slightly as she looked at Governor Zhang .
Governor Zhang and Cao Yunnian laughed without a word and sent Xu Li and Su Qingwu up the horse carriage . However, they secretly made up their minds that the gift they would give to Mu Yunyao for the opening of the teahouse would be 30% more .
Before the carriage left, Su Qingwu suddenly pulled open the curtain on the carriage’s wall, and his phoenix eyes stared straight at Mu Yunyao .
Mu Yunyao raised her head and looked into the pair of deep eyes . The black pupils reflected her figure, and after a slight shake, it seemed as if there was a strange stream of light that flashed by . She gently raised the corner of her lips . Her smile was just right as she bent her knees and bowed . “Greetings to the honorable Lords!”
The wheels of the carriage rolled, and the carriage slowly moved forward . Su Qingwu finally put down the carriage curtain when he could no longer see her figure clearly .
Xu Li held onto the teapot that Mu Yunyao had given to him . He could still smell the elegant aroma of the tea, and he could not help but exclaim to himself . “Many people said that the Capital is a bustling place with many talented people, but who would have thought that there would be such a place like Jingling City where people gather the spirits of heaven and earth . ”
Su Qingwu smiled and nodded, “Yes …”
It was one thing for Lingxiu to be so oppressive, but to think that she was also so intelligent . Even Eunuch Xu, who used to seeing people cheating, could be deceived . Did Mu Yunyao really not understand Eunuch Xu’s last words? He didn’t think so .
