"Please have some." Mu Run picked up the teacup and offered tea to Fu Yunchen.
Fu Yunchen also picked up his cup, "Can I drink it after the first brew?"
"Of course you can. It's tea I made myself, so you can drink it without worry. Of course, you can also wait for the second and third infusions to taste even better, but I need to taste this tea and drink every infusion so that I can adjust the preparation method later."
Holding the teacup, Mu Run first examined the tea liquor; it was golden and translucent, clear and without any impurities. Then she smelled the aroma; besides the fragrance of orchids, there was another indescribable scent, similar to roses.
"It even has a rose scent." Mu Run couldn't wait to take a sip of the tea. "Hmm, it's smooth on the palate, sweet and refreshing with a wonderful aroma, and has a delicious aftertaste. The tea fragrance is rich and lingering. In addition to the floral scent, there are also faint chestnut and woody notes."
Fu Yunchen followed her instructions and finished the tea. As if it were his first time drinking tea, he was very curious about the whole process.
"How does it taste?" Mu Run asked, then prepared the second brew of tea.
"It sounds quite catchy."
"Yes, that's a very high compliment." No matter how good the tea is, if you don't enjoy it, you won't be able to appreciate its true flavor.
Fu Yunchen looked at her and smiled, "Are you going to sell this tea too?"
Mu Run replied, "This tea is not for sale. It was picked from the first tea tree I discovered on Chongyang Mountain, so it has special significance. Besides, only a little over half a jin was made in total, and it will be gone in no time if you drink it casually."
"Where is that tree?" Fu Yunchen asked.
"It grows on a cliff. Perhaps because of its special location, it has a unique fragrance."
"On a cliff? You climbed up yourself?"
"yes."
"From now on, let Lao Yang handle these kinds of things."
"Old Yang and Sister Cai organized the tea picking afterwards, which helped me a lot." Mu Run smiled happily when talking about the tea picking.
The two of them chatted and sipped tea while enjoying delicious snacks, experiencing a harmonious moment for the first time.
Fu Yunchen leaned against the bamboo rattan chair, looking at Mu Run with a gentle and indulgent gaze that even he himself was unaware of.
For him, a wife doesn't need to be beautiful, talented, or a virtuous homemaker. She just needs to make him feel comfortable, to allow him to sleep peacefully beside her at night, and ideally, to bear him a child.
Mu Run, the woman they abducted to be their wife, was initially thought to have a terrible fate if left unattended in the Cao family. On the very day she married him, her husband's entire family was massacred. One can only imagine the kind of reputation she would receive; being called a jinx would be an understatement.
She is his woman. No matter what the circumstances, as long as she is his woman, he will never allow her to be mistreated or bullied by others!
If she had the ability to be independent of this world, he wouldn't cling to her so tightly.
But now… he's a little reluctant to let go. She makes him feel comfortable; lying next to her at night, smelling her scent, he can fall asleep quickly and without nightmares.
“If you don’t want to leave, you can stay in the Prime Minister’s residence with me,” Fu Yunchen said to Mu Run.
Mu Run was examining the underside of the leaves when she heard Fu Yunchen's words. She looked up at him, then continued looking at the leaves. "How do I get out of here?"
Fu Yunchen said with a faint smile, "The second brother will be waiting for you at the back door."
Mu Run, "When?"
Fu Yunchen looked at her with amusement, "You really don't want to be with me?"
Mu Run gently unfolded a green leaf with crimson edges. Its shape was like a shuttle, with a delicate, thick, and soft surface. When viewed against the light, there was also a golden orange leaf rib, which was beautiful and fragrant.
Finally, he put the tea leaves back into the teacup before replying, "What do you mean by 'together'?"
