Pre-opening Exhortation
After sending off Su Qingwu and Xu Li, Mu Yunyao relaxed, and a smile appeared on her face .
Steward Qin instructed Yun Chun to make tea and personally brought it to Mu Yunyao’s side: “Miss, what you planned before has become a success?”
“It’s pretty close . ”
Steward Qin was overjoyed . “That’s great . I don’t know how much more convenient it will be . ”
“Wait a minute . In a few days, I believe that I will be able to obtain the information . Right now, we should get someone to tidy up Jin Xiu Garden . Later on, I will have to entertain the people of Lady Jin . Ladies will feel cold, so we are going to prepare some flowers, fruits, and tea . I think that the Governor’s wife will also come later . She cannot afford to eat sweets, so we are going to prepare some salty snacks . Pay extra attention when you go up, don’t make a mistake . ”
“Yes, we will send people to prepare it . ”
After the Steward Qin left, Mu Yunyao took off the scented sachet from her body and handed it over to Jin Lan, who was waiting by the side: “Find a brazier and burn it, don’t leave any trace behind . ”
“Yes, Miss . ” Jin Lan did not ask further as she directly took the scented sachet down after hearing the orders .
Mu Yunyao heaved a sigh of relief, gently massaging the center of her brows, her lips could not help but rise . No matter how much she liked by others, she couldn't be within two sides of Xu Li . Xu Li saw her in a whole new light . Tea was a good tea, water was also good water, but to reach a state where people’s minds were tranquil and their tastes were unordinary, they would need to use some additional methods of cooperation .
Although this move was a bit risky, for the sake of her two golden signboards, the risk was not even worth mentioning . However, for this Eunuch Xu being able to come to the Jingling City to read the imperial edict for the Emperor and being so familiar with Su Qingwu, she reckoned that he must have an incredibly high position in the Imperial Palace . However, in her memories, she could not remember anyone like him at all .
It seemed like she needed to find a chance to have Yue Wang scout things out for her . If things were as she had guessed, perhaps she may not be able to form a good relationship with him, so that she can be more like a fish out water in the Capital in the future .
After resting for two hours, Lady Jin accompanied the Governor’s wife to Jin Xiu Garden . When Mu Yunyao received the news, she immediately brought her people to greet them .
Fifty people fluttered in a white robe and bowed elegantly in unison . In an instant, all the Ladies were stunned . The Governor’s wife’s attitude towards Mu Yunyao is much more intimate . This summer was the most convenient time for her . Wearing the clothes Mu Yunyao gave her made her feel extraordinarily comfortable and pleasant . She did not have to worry about her clothes getting wet all the time, so she was naturally in a good mood . Furthermore, Mu Yunyao had now become the benefactor of the entire Jingling City and received rewards from the Emperor . She was on good terms with her, for a hundred benefits without any harm .
The other Ladies naturally understood this logic as well . It was just that in the past, Mu Yunyao needed to curry favor with them in every way possible, but now they have to reverse it so that they always pay attention to what they say all the time . They feel that there is something sour in their hearts that is not a taste .
There were a lot of Ladies that had come . If Mu Yunyao had to brew the tea herself, she would be too busy and would not be able to handle it . Furthermore, she would not be able to entertain the Governor’s wife and the Lady Jin alone . To prevent the other Ladies from having ill feelings towards her, she took a break and led the Ladies to Xiao Xiang Bamboo Garden . After the Ladies took the seat, she will directly call for Wei Yi, Yun Chun, and the others .
The space in Xiao Xiang Bamboo Garden was vast, and it didn’t feel crowded even when so many people came in .
Looking at the tea set on the table, the Ladies were curious . It was the first time they saw so many tea sets used to make a cup of tea .
Mu Yunyao stepped forward and bowed, then said with a smile: “Please, Ladies . Enjoy Bu Xian Lou’s tea brewing skills . ”
After she finished and left, all fifty people greeted them in unison . Although these Ladies had prominent statuses in the Jingling City, they had not been received by fifty people at the same time . For a moment, they felt that their reputations were much more valuable . They had not even started drinking tea, and their hearts had filled with pride .
When they started brewing tea, the Ladies were even more dumbfounded . The white robe was ethereal, floating like an immortal . The woman’s side was slender, and when moving her delicate fingers, her smooth wrists like jade . Her movements were gentle and beautiful . The man’s side was soft, comfortable, warm, and also has a relaxed and elegant appearance .
Not to mention the fragrance of the tea that they were brewing, even the bowl of plain water felt different .
After the tea brewed, the Ladies were still in a daze .
Wei Yi and Yun Chun led their people and served the tea to the Ladies in order before respectfully leaving .
After everyone had left, Lady Jin could not help but exclaim in admiration: “From today onwards, other than your place, I will not go to any teahouse . ” However, this extravagance was enough to leave the other teahouses far behind .
“That’s right . It is the first time I’ve realized that there are so many things to be paid attention to when making tea . Just looking at it makes me feel pleased . ”
The Ladies all came back to their senses and praised Mu Yunyao non-stop .
Mu Yunyao smiled happily, “Thank you for your praise . After hearing all of you speak like that, I have a lot of confidence . I believe that I will not be losing out for the opening of Bu Xian Luo . ”
When she said this, the other ladies couldn’t help but burst into laughter . They all said that if they lost the bet, they would personally bring people over to support the show, and for a time, Xiao Xiang Bamboo Garden was full of laughter .
After the banter, they started to drink tea . Many Ladies who could not drink the tea just held the cups of tea, looked left and right, and revealed sincere smiles . Knowing that they could not drink the tea, they changed to fruits . It was no wonder that Mu Yunyao was able to enjoy life in Jingling City in such a short time .
After a round of pleasures from the guests, Mu Yunyao received a series of praises . When sending the few Ladies off, she specially delivered a few dried rosette buds, causing the few Ladie to smile non-stop .
After working busily for the entire day, Mu Yunyao finally relaxed and poured herself a cup of fragrant tea, sitting on the chair and slowly savoring it .
Steward Qin led Wei Yi, Yun Chun, and the rest over, “Miss, our teahouse is going to open tomorrow officially, do you have anything else to teach them?”
Mu Yunyao put down the teacup, “Speaking of which, there is nothing to tell you deliberately . But you must remember, from now on, your identities are Bu Xian Luo’s Si Cha, and hospitality is the number one priority . If you can’t make guests like our Bu Xian Luo, everything else is useless, and nothing we can do . ”
She was clear about the reason why Yue Wang had picked these fifty people . The reason she asked him repeatedly was that she was afraid of their quick success and eager to collect news, but it would be counterproductive . Steward Qin felt a chill in his heart as he had almost forgotten about this . There was still a long time ahead of him, and the most important thing was to grow Bu Xian Luo even bigger . If he was in a hurry and people will notice that something was amiss . Even if there was the Emperor’s golden signboard, but this place could not move others, would they choose to come? Once they were unable to attract guests, Bu Xian Luo will exist in name only .
“Yes, Young Miss . ” Everyone immediately answered .
Mu Yunyao nodded her head . “Also, I will ask people to search for books related to tea arts and poetry . Everyone chooses their favorite reading, I do not ask for all of you to master all of them, but you will need to grasp one or two unique points . Besides, everyone else thinks about your origin, where is your home? Did you have a family? What did you do before? Why do you know how to make tea? In short, the more you think about your background, the more detailed it is . Then, you will remember everything so that you can answer whatever others ask . ”
“Yes, Young Miss . ”
“Besides, your temperament is too cold . No matter what method you use, you change your personality for me . You can be aloof, you can be proud, you can be cynical, you can be pitiful, you can be arrogant, and you can be naïve . The only important is that all of you must have only one face . Once you choose your personality, you have to maintain the rest of your life . Don’t change in front of outsiders . ”
“ . . . ”
“Yes, Young Miss . ”
