Chapter 147
Miss Mu Who Gave Ginger Tea From Thousands of Miles
After entering Western Guangdong, a group of bandits removed their masks and scarves . The one leading them was Yu Heng, who had always been beside Yue w.a.n.g .
The other guards, dressed as bandits, stared curiously at the linen-covered burlap sack on the carriage . Some of them couldn"t resist reaching out to pinch it, and some even went up to smell it . But unfortunately, there was no smell at all, making people indistinguishable . What is inside it?
Yu Heng looked back and saw their actions and could not help but reprimanded softly, "Don"t move, this is the ginger tea that Miss Mu had sent in . Eunuch Cheng had instructed me a thousand times for not damage it . "
The others looked at each other, their eyes filled with curiosity . For Yu Heng to address her as Miss so respectfully, she definitely had an extraordinary ident.i.ty . However, they had never seen any young lady was close to w.a.n.g Ye?
Those who could send to do this were the trusted aides of Yue w.a.n.g . Thus, they did not have many reservations when they spoke .
"Which family does this Miss Mu belongs to?"
Yu Heng swept a glance at him, and the smile on his face became even more mysterious .
Without getting an answer, everyone is more and more scratching their hearts . Even though they didn"t know what kind of tea it was, but they still knew how precious it was . Even if they were ordinary tea leaves, it would cost tens of thousands of taels of silver to buy them all . Which young lady actually made such a generous move?
After sending the ginger tea back to Yue w.a.n.g"s Palace, the curiosity in everyone"s heart did not dissipate .
After returning to the manor, Yu Heng went to report, "Master, all the ginger tea sent by Girl Mu has been escorted back . "
Yue w.a.n.g stood up and walked to the courtyard, where he saw the guards taking down one sack after another .
Yu Heng picked up a gunny sack and stood it up, carefully opening it for Yue w.a.n.g to check .
The guards, who had curious for a long time, stretched their necks to look around . After the sack opened, it still wrapped in a waterproof and moisture-proof felt . When the felt had removed, a fragrant scent wafted out . Everyone could not help but take a deep breath, and their eyes filled with joy . In Western Guangdong, there was not much food to eat, and just like that, they would have to deal with the hara.s.sment and looting of Northern Xinjiang and Yunnan from time to time . In the winter, the days are even more too tight . They also don"t have much oil and water in their stomachs as the guards of Yue w.a.n.g"s Palace .
At this time, after rushing for a whole day, they suddenly smelled the scent of ginger tea, only to feel that the fragrant seemed to have grown claws, causing to roar in their belly .
Yue w.a.n.g reached out and grabbed some ginger tea, and while the light in his eyes was still cold, but there seemed to be some kind of emotion flickering in them .
Eunuch Cheng had already prepared bowls . In order to help Mu Yunyao earn a reputation, he had quite a few bowls . Basically, he went to the guards who are responsible for escorting ginger tea .
"w.a.n.g Ye, we finally managed to get this ginger tea in here . How about we have a taste of it?" He asked for advice, but without hesitation, he scooped up a spoonful of soup and placed it in the bowl .
Yue w.a.n.g nodded his head lightly, causing everyone immediately burst into laughter .
Some of them were somewhat anxious to see Eunuch Cheng scoop up a handful of ginger tea and put it directly into his mouth . Eunuch Cheng could not help but stare in pleasant surprise, "Delicious, this ginger tea is so delicious!"
He thought it would be tea, but it turned out to be yellowish rice noodles with a little dried green and diced meat . He had not expected it to be this delicious and salty .
"This was brought over by Miss Mu from afar . If I knew that you would be acting like this, I wouldn"t have let you taste it!"
As soon as Eunuch Cheng finished speaking, it immediately attracted mourning: "Don"t, Eunuch Cheng . Do you see how loyal we are to you? Let us have a taste first, isn"t there a lot?"
"Eunuch Cheng, who is the Miss Mu you spoke of?" They had heard it from Yu Heng, and now that Eunuch Cheng had mentioned it again, it really made them extremely curious .
"Don"t ask blindly . When it"s time for you to know, you will naturally know . Alright, The ginger tea is not to be eaten dry . I have already ordered someone to bring boiled water . Everyone should go and fill the bowls to the brim . "
"Alright, thank you very much, Eunuch Cheng . "
Speaking of delicious food, everyone temporarily suppressed their curiosity and went to boil a bowl of water .
After the hot water boiling, the fragrance even stronger at one time . The dried ginger and green vegetables spread out and released a strong scent . The meat was especially delicious and chewy . After a sip, the whole body is warm, and the aftertaste is endless!
Eunuch Cheng gave Yue w.a.n.g a bowl: "w.a.n.g Ye, do you have a taste too?"
Yue w.a.n.g shook his head and walked towards the carriage . After scanning the carriage, he took out the gunny sack and brought out an exquisite wooden box . On the wooden box, there was a piece of paper, written on it: His Royal Highness Yue w.a.n.g .
Eunuch Cheng sucked on his ginger tea as he moved closer . When he saw the handwriting on the paper, a smile flashed across his eyes . "w.a.n.g Ye, I presume that the contents of this box were specially prepared for you by Miss Mu . Why don"t you open it?"
Yue w.a.n.g glanced at the bowl in Eunuch Cheng"s hands: "Uncle Cheng, they have already begun drinking the second bowl . "
Eunuch Cheng turned his head and slapped the spoon in his hand over, "You brats, put down the bowl for me . Yu Heng, you"re the one I mean . You"re not allowed to carry so much . Your bowl is so big, and you put so many ginger tea, wouldn"t it be a complete mess if you washed it with water?"
Taking advantage of the commotion, Yue w.a.n.g took the wooden box back to the study room and opened the box . On top of the letter was detailing about the eating method, dosage, and preservation method of ginger tea . It was extremely detailed, but after reading it, Yue w.a.n.g could not help but frown . He opened the oil paper and saw that there was ginger tea inside, which was obviously different from the outside . His expression became slightly more relaxed .
Eunuch Cheng thoughtfully brought the hot water and chopsticks and left with a smile without saying anything .
Yue w.a.n.g opened a bowl of ginger tea, and just by smelling the fragrance, he felt that it was much more fragrant than what Yu Heng and the rest were drinking outside . He glanced at the wooden box again and finally relaxed his mind, slowly adding vegetables to the bowl . After drinking the meaty ginger tea, he sat behind the desk and began to reply .
In Jiangnan, Jin Xiu Garden, Steward Qin stared at Yu Yi with his mouth agape: "What did you say? Say what you just said again?"
Yu Yi had a bad premonition in his heart . He took two steps back: "Steward Qin, don"t be so agitated yet . Didn"t you personally say that I would deliver the letter to w.a.n.g Ye personally? Didn"t I already said it to you?"
"I wanted you to deliver the letter to w.a.n.g Ye personally, but I didn"t say that you would hand over both letters!" Steward Qin really wanted to grab Yu Yi and stamp his feet twice . There was a letter inside that was addressed to Old Cheng . He had hinted a lot of words that Miss Mu liked w.a.n.g Ye . The purpose was to urge Old Cheng to matchmaking and promote w.a.n.g Ye and Miss Mu, what if w.a.n.g Ye were to see it and it backfired? Yu Yi felt that Steward Qin looked at him as if he was looking at his sworn enemy, so he hurriedly took two steps back, "You can"t blame me for this . You didn"t mention who you wanted to hand over to on the envelope . When I returned, Eunuch Cheng was still by my side, asking questions . I saw that the envelope was blank, so I pa.s.sed all the letters to w.a.n.g Ye . "
"I… I didn"t specify who I want to give?
"Yes, the envelope is blank . You didn"t write a word . " Yu Yi firmly nodded his head .
Steward Qin was stunned for a moment before swallowing his saliva . "No wonder w.a.n.g Ye only said three words in his reply . So this is where the roots are!" w.a.n.g Ye knows that Miss Mu secretly likes him? But in reality, it was all made up by him . What should he do?
