Get What You Want

After talking for a long while, Steward Qin finally stopped . “This is the silver notes that I have earned in the past few days . Send it to w.a.n.g Ye when you go back . ”

Seeing the number of silver notes, Yu Yi could not help but be shocked . “That much?” The teahouse had only opened for less than a month . Could she already earn that much silver taels?

Steward Qin could not help but feel a sense of superiority . He glanced at Yu Yi: “It’s only thirty thousand taels of silver, is it even worth you making such a fuss over?” Miss Mu is a golden doll . With her, he would be able to earn even more silver taels .

Yu Yi swallowed his saliva . “Steward Qin, do you think we should open a few teahouses in Western Guangdong?”

“It’s already good enough for the citizens of Western Guangdong to be able to eat their fill every day . Who would drink tea in a teahouse?”

“If Western Guangdong is no good, then let’s go somewhere else . There are so many other rich cities in Jiangnan . We can open one for each city, so our Master doesn’t have to worry about silver taels anymore!”

“We should develop Bu Xian Luo first . We still need to listen to the arrangements made by Miss Mu . ” Steward Qin sighed in his heart . He also wished that he could immediately open up Bu Xian Luo all over the Dali Dynasty at once . However, Steward Qin did not have any specific plans, but as long as able to please Miss Mu, it can guarantee that this wish would realize soon! Therefore, he still had to write a letter to Eunuch Cheng, asking him to urge w.a.n.g Ye to do more .

Jingling City blew a scent of tea, causing the Steward Qin to smile brightly . In the Capital, Eunuch Xu was also smiling happily .

Eunuch Xu brought back the tea that Mu Yunyao had gifted to him, then he thought of the pure feelings he had after drinking the tea in Jin Xiu Garden . He couldn’t help but make some tea and drink it . After drinking it, he felt refreshed, and the depression in his heart lessened .

When the head servant caught a cold, he would take over the position of an inner servant and wait on the Emperor’s side . In these past few days, a new n.o.ble lady of the Imperial Harem lost her child, who fell into a pond and drowned . The Imperial Court was in an uproar, causing the Emperor to be in an even worse mood .

If he had not witnessed the severity of the head servant’s illness, he would have suspected that the other party was trying to avoid the limelight and pushed him out . Thus, he was extra careful when serving the tea, afraid that he would offend the Emperor . After the Emperor drank a mouthful of tea, he suddenly placed the cup of tea on the table and swept a sharp gaze at him . “An inner servants are not allowed to use incense, don’t tell me that you’re not aware of this?” Xu Li could be considered old staff in the Palace . If he is an ordinary young eunuch, he would have immediately ordered his people to drag him out and beat him to death .

Xu Li hurriedly knelt down, his body seemingly drenched in a cold sweat . “Your Majesty, please observe clearly . Even if this servant had the most guts, I would not dare to violate Palace rules . This servant has never used incense before . ”

“Then, where did the fragrance on your body come from?” The Emperor’s tone became even angrier . The heavy pressure made Xu Li want to lie flat on the ground . Xu Li could not help but shiver when thinking back to the cup of tea he drank previously . He could not help but secretly complain . If he had known earlier that he would die from a craving for tea, even he would not have been greedy for it . “Reporting to your majesty, the lotus flower that you mentioned should have been this servant’s tea, and it’s all this servant fault, this servant was so greedy for it . Once the tea consumed, this servant couldn’t control himself and asked Your Majesty to spare this servant’s life!”

“Do you say tea?” The Emperor’s angry tone of voice did not diminish . “How come I didn’t know about the tea in the Palace and the lotus fragrance?”

“It was a gift from Mu Yunyao when this servant returned from Jingling City . ”

“Mu Yunyao, is that the person who opened Ni Yun Fang and taught embroidery needle technique to the women in Jingling City?” A while ago, the officials had worked hard because of Ni Yun Fang, as if it was their house that burned . There were a few very harsh words . It caused him to be unable to catch a breath, and he was not able to do anything about it . These public officials did not even have the chance to speak of a crime . He only said that he wanted to see what Mu Yunyao wanted, so he ordered them to compensate her . It had made those officials angered to the point that they stomped their feet .

“It was her, Your Majesty . Miss Mu Yunyao not only has exquisite embroidery craftsmanship, but her skills in brewing tea were also unique . This servant had once the privilege of drinking the tea she brewed, and after drinking it, this servant would feel like drinking a full mouthful of clear lotus water . All my worries disappeared, and my entire body became relaxed . As a result, this servant could not help but sneakily drink a cup when I was on duty, causing my body to carry the aroma of tea . This servant will never dare to do so again . Please spare this servant’s life, Your Majesty . ”

“All the worries are gone . Is the whole body feel comfortable? Is this tea an elixir of immortality?” The Emperor’s interest piqued by his words, and the anger reduced by a bit . “Go get some, soak them up and bring them to me . I’ll also come to try it and have a taste as good as you say . ”

When the Emperor opened his mouth, the servants below were all fl.u.s.tered . They brought over half of the Taiyuan Hospital and carefully examined the tea leaves one by one . After confirming that there were no problems, they allowed Xu Li to make the tea in front of the Emperor .

“Your Majesty, the tea has been brewed . Please have a taste . ” Fortunately, the Palace had prepared some dew collected from the lotus leaves and lotus flowers, but when Xu Li smelt the fragrance of the tea, he felt that it was a little worse than the dew that Mu Yunyao had personally soaked .

When the tea came in, the Emperor smelled the unique fragrance . It was indeed similar to the scent of the tea on Xu Li’s body, but it was much fresher and more distant than the previous one . Unable to resist, he lifted his teacup and took a sip . Immediately he felt the fragrance of the tea fill his mouth . His brow relaxed slightly . “It is indeed good . ”

Xu Li heaved a heavy sigh of relief but was also happy to sell Mu Yunyao a benefit: “This servant’s hands are weak, I am not as good as Miss Mu Yunyao’s skills in brewing tea . When she brews tea, she can transform into flowers and herbs in a cup . On that day, just as I was about to raise my teacup, the tea leaves formed into a lotus flower at the bottom of the cup, and with a slight shake, they transformed into birds, with clear air, curling clouds, and mist . It is truly amazing . ”

The Emperor’s interest grew even more as he looked at the cup in front of him . He felt a tinge of regret in his heart, “Didn’t she set up an embroidery workshop? Did she also open a tea house?”

Xu Li was unable to read the Emperor’s thoughts, so he spoke even more cautiously . “Presumably, she wanted to spread the knowledge of the tea brewing skills . The teahouse also has recruited many people to learn from them . The teahouse’s name is even more interesting . The teahouse clearly placed in the garden, yet its name is Bu Xian Luo . ”

“Bu Xian Luo? Mu Yunyao did have such intentions in mind . In fact, Jingling City was the home of the Tea Saint Lu Yu . He once wrote a poem about how he was jealous of neither gold nor white jade cups . No envy the Court, nor Office . Envy ten thousand folds of the Xijiang River that flows past Jingling . She could use the Bu Xian Luo as her tea house name can also consider as having some ulterior motives . ”

“Yeah, that Miss Mu received the Emperor’s reward and was shocked . She repeatedly kowtowed in the direction of the Capital to thank the Emperor for his grace and even said that she would work even harder, hoping to bring Bu Xian Luo to the Capital as soon as possible . So that she could enter the Capital to kowtow and thank the Emperor outside the Palace . ”

“She doesn’t ask for anything else? Is she only requests us to reward her with calligraphy? I can consider it and get to prepare for writing . ”

“Yes . ” Xu Li quietly wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and quickly ordered others to prepare .

Before long, the two large characters of Ni Yun Fang and Bu Xian Lou had carried out by Xu Li . “Lord Su, pa.s.s down the order for the Emperor to send these two characters to Jingling City and deliver them to Miss Mu Yunyao . ”

“Please Eunuch Xu to report this to the Emperor . This subordinate will immediately send Your Majesty’s calligraphy to Jingling City . ”

Xu Li smiled and nodded: “Is Lord Su going to go personally? Why don’t you help me tell Miss Mu that her tea had already delivered to the Emperor?”

Su Qingwu’s heart was moved, “I’ll definitely bring it with me . ”
