Chapter 99 Reply letter from the prince
When Mu Yunyao left, butler Qin immediately asked someone to bring hot water to seep the tea. When he opened the lid of the teapot, he was stunned by the scent coming from the tea. He couldn't help wondering, how could there be such a nice scent even before he even began to seep the tea? After carefully scrutinizing it for a while, he found that the fragrance of tea actually overflowed from the teapot!
He loved tea and had collected many precious tea sets, but none of them was as lovely as this teapot. Mu Yunyao obviously knew that he really loved tea before giving this teapot to him. She had carefully used tea leaves in the pot and left for enough time to let the fragrance permeate the pot itself. Only this way could you make a fragrant and mellow teapot.
According to the strength of the tea aroma, he dared to bet that the teapot should already be kept for at least two months. Meaning, when they just started to plan for the Jinxiu Garden to be converted into a teahouse, Mu Yunyao had already begun to prepare for this gift. She's really the polar opposite of the cold-blooded prince. With miss Mu's company by his side, this old man was relieved.
Butler Qin reached out and stroked the carved poem on the pot. At a glance, some of the verses looked as if they were written in Master's handwriting. This brought a smile on his face and he murmured complacently: "I'd better write about this to Old Cheng."
Soon afterwards, a servant came in to report: " Butler Qin, I brought a letter from Master."
Butler Qin hurriedly got up and went to the study with the teapot.
At Mu Yunyao's request, Wei Yi, Yun Chun and the group of servants changed into white clothes uniform. The man wore a white hair crown and a plain, spotless white robe. While the woman also wore a white dress, her hair was beautifully styled into a flowing cloud bun hairstyle, finished with a silver hairpin ornament. With every step, her swaying dress looked as if an immortal descending into the mortal world, the image was aesthetically beautiful.
Half of the 50 people originally had a conspicuous appearance, but adorning this kind of clothes, with the beautiful garden as a backdrop, it gave birth to a feeling of worship and awe towards them.
Mu Yunyao watched them making tea and there was a glimmer of disappointment in her eyes. These group of people were obedient enough, but they lack the soul to make tea. Even if they strictly followed her actions, you could still detect the stiffness and rigidity in their action.
She was thinking ways to whet their temperaments when she saw butler Qin came scurrying with a letter.
"Miss Mu, Si Ye has replied to your letter."
Mu Yunyao was surprised. She didn't expect that Yue Wang would reply to her letter.
Subsequently, Wei Yi and Yun Chun's actions became more serious. The taciturn prince would even send a reply to Mu Yunyao's letter. Obviously, the relationship between them was unusual.
After opening the letter, Mu Yunyao blinked. There was only a simple and comprehensive sentence in the letter, or accurately just five words: Tell me in more details!
Aware of Mu Yunyao's subtle look, butler Qin was extremely curious and pondered over what possible thing that the prince had written.
Wang Ye had a cold temperament and was used to ordering people around, it must have been hard for him to write to miss Mu. Did he use a blunt tone with her? Would it be misphrased? If he knew it would be like this, he would have had Lao Cheng educate the prince more about a girl's heart, and maybe it would have influenced him to behave better around the girl.
"Young miss, we happen to have account books to be sent to Si Ye in two days time. When you have written back your reply, young miss can give it to me to be sent together." Butler Qin said with a smile. Not giving Mu Yunyao time to refuse, he continued: "Young miss, continue to teach Wei Yi and Yun Chun. I have some matter to attend to, so I'll go back first."
(TN: boy, old man Qin being as slick as ever. If not bc he's already old, I would've shipped him with Su Qing lolol)
When Mu Yunyao was back from her reverie, butler Qin had gone far. She had to put the five words letter away and pondered Yue Wang's meaning inwardly.
Tell me in more details.
She pondered over the contents of the letter carefully and thought to herself, was he saying that she had not written detailed enough? Or did Yue Want wanted more information, so should she write about the events that occurred in Jingling City too?
Mu Yunyao ended up thinking about the letter all the way back to Niyunfang and finally decided to write the reply. After all, she still needed to keep a good relationship with Yue Wang. As for what would come in the future, she could only wait until it comes later. After having a late dinner with Su Qing, Mu Yunyao went back to her room to write carefully. The letter took her almost an hour to write. Looking at the thick pile of paper, she couldn't help but hook up her lips. This time, she indeed wrote everything that she knew of in great details, regardless of its importance. She could even see them being bound in a book. The letters she sent to Yue Wang this time could be regarded as the historical book of Jingling City.
The next morning, shortly after Mu Yunyao had finished her breakfast, Jin Lan led four maids to come in and put the four slave contracts in front of her: "Miss, these four maids were sent by butler Qin."
As soon as the four maids saw Mu Yunyao, the bowed to salute: "Greetings, miss."
Mu Yunyao looked at the four people carefully. They were about 14 or 15 years old. Each of them was slim, delicate and pretty facial features, and their gentle temperament. Their looks were very ordinary but one could sense concealed sharpness in their eyes: "Don't be polite. Come upstairs with me."
Once upstairs, Mu Yunyao called in Jin Lan and Jin Qiao, and then looked at the four maids: "Fro today onwards, you are under Liu Liang, and you're here to serve my mother. From left to right, your names from now are Si Qin, Si Qi, Si Shu, and Si Hua. No matter what you did before, your first priority is to serve my mother starting today."
"Yes, miss."
Seeing the calm faces of the four, Mu Yunyao nodded her head. She still trusted the eyes of butler Qin: "Later, you will go to see my mother. If she goes outside to teach the embroidery girls, you will follow her every step to protect her safety. My mother is timid. Don't let anything surprising to scare her. Make sure she is safe and sound and you'll receive a lot of rewards. If she lost even a hair, you will be punished a hundred times worse...."
Mu Yunyao threatened, with a flash of chilly air around her, while exuding heavy hostility directed toward them. The four maids subconsciously trembled.
"Yes, miss. Please rest assured. Us maidservants will definitely protect madam's safety." Before they came, butler Qin had already told them to obey Mu Yunyao's orders. Moreover, their slave contracts were still in her hands, so they should try their best to carry out their duty.
Mu Yunyao was satisfied with them for the time being, and her face relaxed a lot: "Jin Lan, tell Jun Pei to take them to see my mother."
"Yess, Miss." Jin Lan arranged for Jin Pei to take them and then returned to Mu Yunyao's side, feeling quite unsettled, "Miss, do you have anything else to order?"
"Mu Yunyao glanced at her and Jin Qiao, then said, "You two are the first ones I chose. These days, I have been taking you around with me to let you guys gain some insight and experience from it, not to let you guys indulge in flights of fancy."
Jin Lan and Jin Qiao were flustered and directly knelt down in front of Mu Yunyao, "We're grateful for young miss attaching such importance to us." Although Mu Yunyao was only 13 years old, they dare not look down her the slightest.
"You don't have to be so nervous. I'm not dissatisfied with you two. I just want to tell you that you don't need to mind Si Qin and the others. They are brought to me to protect my mother. However, you two are carefully trained by me and will become my left and right arm in the future. So it's best if you two can focus on your own affairs with a peace in mind since that's the most important thing."
Jin Lan and Jin Qiao exchanged a glance and there was a flash of shame on their faces. When they saw those four maids came in, both of them had been very upset and vigilant, for fear that Mu Yunyao thought that they were useless and had to be replaced.
The times when they came to Niyunfang was the most relaxing time for them. Since following Mu Yunyao, their knowledge was broadened and they saw a new world with Mu Yunyao. If they were expelled, they would really spend the rest of their lives in regret: "Please forgive our sin, miss."
