Rebirth of the Return of Chu

The layout of the private room is very different from that outside. A log-colored bookcase is placed in the northeast corner of the wall. Warm sunlight shines in through the vermilion carved wooden window, sporadically sprinkling on a guqin propped up beside the window.

The pink gauze curtain swayed in the wind, causing the chrysanthemum petals on the windowsill to slide down and gently brush across the strings of the piano.

There was a table in the southwest corner, with smoke rising from the incense burner. There was a faint scent of pine mixed with the fragrance of magnolia, as clear as mountain spring water.

Just as I sat down to drink a cup of tea, there was a knock on the door.

Then a man and a woman came in. The man had a very ordinary face. He was tall and slender with a short beard. His eyes were small but very bright. He did not look like an ordinary service staff.

Compared to the man, the woman behind him caught Mu Chu's attention. She was wearing a white gauze skirt with a light blue silk bow tied around her waist. Her ink-black hair was gently tied up with a water cloud hairpin inserted diagonally. Her skin was as crystal clear as jade, and she was not wearing any makeup. She lowered her head and kept silent, like a fairy on earth.

Mu Chu was stunned unconsciously, and turned to look at Li Wenyu beside him, but his expression didn't change much.

Then the man said, "Please wait a moment, my two distinguished guests. I will cook for you today. This is my sister Moyu. She will accompany you while I cook."

After that, the woman bowed. Mu Chu was wondering why she didn't speak, and then he heard the man say, "My sister can't speak, but she can hear. You can just tell her what to do."

After hearing that she couldn't speak, Mu Chu felt a little sympathy, but then out of respect for her he nodded and said nothing.

After the man left, Mo Yu was left behind. She looked at Mu Chu and pointed at the location of the zither. Mu Chu guessed that she was going to play the zither, so he asked, "Miss Mo Yu, can you play the zither?"

Mo Yu nodded and pointed to his ears, as if asking what he wanted to hear.

Mu Chu saw what she meant, so he said, "Miss Moyu, please play whatever you want. We can listen to anything."

Mo Yu bowed slightly, sat down gracefully, raised her jade fingers lightly, revealing her slender white jade fingers, and stroked the surface of the zither. She concentrated her mind and thought deeply. Suddenly, the sound of the zither rang out in the hall, the sound was gentle yet resolute.

As her fingers stroked, the sound of the piano gradually spread like a tide, filling the entire room. The lingering and melodious sounds of the piano were heart-wrenching. Although the piano sounds were like a complaint, all the most peaceful times, the most brilliant hardships, and the original appearance, slowly flowed away.

The eldest prince and Mu Chu both listened quietly without saying anything extra.

After the song was over, the waiter brought the tea and introduced: "My two distinguished guests, please have some tea. The water for making tea is the water melted from the spring snow in February, and the snow picked from the plum blossoms in early spring. The tea leaves are the first batch of tea this year."

The eldest prince took a sip and smiled, then said, "Yes, there is a cool plum aroma when you taste it carefully."

Mu Chu also took a sip. He usually drank flower tea and medicinal tea that he made himself. Suddenly, he drank such a clear tea, but he couldn't taste any special flavor.

Afterwards, Mo Yu kept playing various pieces of music.

The waiter brought several dishes one after another. The first one was white jade tofu. The tofu was as white as cream, warm and without a single scratch. It really looked like it was made of jade. A lotus flower was drawn on it with sauce. Mu Chu took a bite and it melted in his mouth.

The eldest prince asked her, "How is it?"

Mu Chu nodded: "Very good, Your Highness, please try it."

Li Wenyu did not move and explained: "I don't like this kind of food, you eat it."

Mu Chu curled his lips, thinking that it was really pretentious, but he only complained in his heart and continued to eat a few more bites.

The second dish is "Golden Marriage". It looks like a dumpling but it's not really a dumpling. It is small and exquisite, crystal clear, and the juice bursts in your mouth when you bite it. The skin is so thin that it seems almost transparent. A vinegar dish is placed on the side. The dumplings are so big that even a child can eat one in one bite.

The third dish is full of spring, which is mung bean cake. According to the waiter, it is made of peeled mung beans with wheat flour, vegetable oil, powdered sugar and other ingredients. It is soft and delicate in the mouth, with a soft and fragrant, delicate and tight taste, and the fragrance of mung beans lingers in the mouth.

The fourth dish is the Pink Lady, which is actually a bit like cherry meat. The waiter introduced it as

The main ingredients are wild boar belly and tenderloin raised on the farm in the restaurant. After being seasoned and cooked, they are crispy, plump and cherry-red in color. The sweet juice bursts in your mouth when you take a bite.

The fifth dish is "Fei Huang Teng Da", which is made by stewing old hen, chestnuts and duck as the main ingredients. It is bright apricot yellow, the wing meat is soft and tender, and the taste is mellow and fresh.

The sixth dish is Sweet Love, which is made with glutinous rice flour, sugar and honey osmanthus. It tastes sweet and delicious with a strong osmanthus fragrance.

After the six dishes were served, the waiter said to them, "Dear guests, today's dishes have been served. Are you satisfied?"

Li Wenyu stood still, turned his head to look at Mu Chu and asked, "Are you satisfied, Miss Qin?"

Mu Chu nodded, raised his eyes and looked at Li Wenyu: "Satisfied, very novel."

Li Wenyu took out a gold ingot from his pouch and threw it to the waiter, then he took another ingot and threw it to Mo Yu, who stood up and saluted.

Li Wenyu waved his hand: "Okay, I'm happy today, I'll bring Miss Qin to visit next time."

So he and Mu Chu came out together. As they just walked through the door, Li Wenyu suddenly grabbed Mu Chu's wrist. Mu Chu was startled. Before she could come to her senses, Li Wenyu's other hand touched her cheek, and Mu Chu's face turned red.

A deep voice came: "There is some dirt on your face, I wiped it off for you."

Mu Chu was so surprised by his actions that his lips slightly opened, but he didn't know what to say. He took a step back, shook off his arm, and looked up at him.

Li Wenyu asked with a half-smile: "Why are you blushing?"

Mu Chu nervously turned around and left. Just now, he was clearly bewitched by him. For a moment, he looked at that angular face approaching, feeling a little nervous and a little moved.

Li Wenyu followed behind her, watching her movements, the smile on his lips growing deeper, even the corners of his eyes and eyebrows couldn't help but smile.
