Mu Run could tell that she liked Xi Gongyong, but Xi Gongyong showed no romantic feelings for her. It seemed that her love was unrequited.
Thinking of this, Mu Run looked at Fu Yunchen again; this guy was destined to attract all sorts of romantic entanglements.
Xi Gongyong is a tea merchant who knows a lot about tea and is also a highly skilled tea connoisseur. When Mu Run picked up the kettle to brew tea again, he became much more meticulous, starting to calculate the time in his mind from the moment the water entered the cup, in order to obtain the best flavor of the tea soup.
Fu Yunchen noticed her change, his thin lips twitched slightly, and he told the waiter to hurry up and serve the food...
After two more rounds of tea, the whole deer feast was served at Fu Yunchen's urging.
There are eighteen dishes in total, including roasted whole deer, deer antler gelatin soup, braised deer head meat, five-colored deer skin, boiled deer meat, deer tendon skin jelly, wild mushroom deer belly, seven-colored deer shreds, eight-treasure deer blood rice, ginseng and deer tail soup, etc.
The dishes ordered by Nishimiya Yu were also placed on this table, but his dishes were on the sweeter side, which was what girls liked to eat, and there were twelve of them.
There were a total of thirty dishes, more than enough for five people.
Mu Run was already starving. After a few pleasantries, he picked up his chopsticks and spoon and started eating heartily.
Fu Yunchen observed that she mostly ate venison and didn't touch the dishes Xi Gongyong had ordered. She also had a good appetite and ate quite a lot.
During this time, Xin Sui left for a while. When he returned, he had a sheepskin bag in his hand, which he gave to Fu Yunchen.
Fu Yunchen casually put it into his sleeve pocket.
After a hearty meal, Mu Run was so full that she just wanted to lie down and sleep, so she urged Fu Yunchen to leave and return to the mansion.
As for Xi Gongyong, she couldn't reveal her identity or make friends with him. Besides, her disguise was starting to wear off, so it was best for her to leave quickly.
Xi Gongyong and Song Mo stayed behind, seemingly for some other reason, but they personally escorted them to the dock.
On the way back, the clouds and fog cleared, revealing a round, silvery moon and countless twinkling stars.
Mu Run sat on the deck of the boat, elbows on his knees, hands supporting his chin, gazing at the stars and moon in the sky. Suddenly, a line of poetry came to mind, and he recited it: "The people of today do not see the moon of ancient times, yet the moon of today once shone on the people of ancient times. The people of ancient times and the people of today are like flowing water, all alike gazing at the same bright moon."
Fu Yunchen, supporting himself with a bamboo pole, looked down at her and asked jokingly, "Are you from ancient times or from the present?"
"Neither. Your wife is from the future."
That's the truth! Perhaps the situation made her want to say something honest. But to someone who didn't know the situation, it would just sound like nonsense.
Fu Yunchen remained silent for a long while.
Seeing that he didn't react, Mu Run asked again, "Believe it or not?"
Fu Yunchen chuckled softly.
The laughter was so soft that it was easily dissipated by the faint night breeze.
"I don't believe you. If you were from the future, then tell me who the next emperor of the Northern Jin Dynasty would be?"
Mu Run was speechless. The Northern Jin Dynasty in the history books was different from the Northern Jin Dynasty here. Even the imperial surnames were different; one was surnamed Sima, and the other was surnamed Wei. And in the history she had studied, there had never been a dynasty with the surname Wei as its emperor.
Fu Yunchen pushed off with the bamboo pole, and the boat slid forward a considerable distance.
"I think you're tea drunk."
As expected, no one would believe it! Mu Run muttered to herself, "I didn't drink the tea, you guys drank the tea, I just brewed it."
"Don't you want to see what Xin Sui gave you?" Fu Yunchen glanced at the two dressing boxes placed in the boat.
Mu Run hadn't had time to look at it until Fu Yunchen mentioned it, at which point she picked up a vermilion box.
