...
The chamber was the private place for the girls.
Fang Zhengzhi was not particularly interested in entering the chambers at night. However, he still entered.
To him, as long as one’s moral compass was strong...
There was not much difference between entering and not entering.
There was a saying. As long as one believed in buddha, even alcohol and meat could pass through one’s gut without being digested.
Fang Zhengzhi stepped into Immortal Tune’s chambers. He looked around and began to take in the decorations.
Usually, the way the chamber was decorated would reveal something about the girl’s character.
Immortal Tune’s chamber was extremely gentle and warm. Light incense filled the room, giving a calming effect.
The floor was carpeted, making it very comfortable to walk on.
As for color.
It was primarily light blue and green. The carpets were light blue and the green came from the plants on the windowsill.
”Young Master Fang, please have a seat.” Immortal Tune gestured to a chair in the middle of the room.
Fang Zhengzhi sat down without hesitation.
Even though there were some differences between this world and his previous world, their thinking was not that much different. The customer was still the most important person.
Leaving the seat in the chamber for the guest showed respect.
Immortal Tune poured a cup of tea for Fang Zhengzhi as he sat down and brought him a plate of nuts. Then, she bowed and placed the cup of tea in his hands.
Fang Zhengzhi did not move.
He did not feel comfortable being served by Immortal Tune this way. He felt that something was amiss.
He had never been here before.
He could possibly attribute the events of today to luck. However, he knew that everything happened for a reason.
He had done absolutely nothing.
He didn’t perform the duet, he didn’t compose any poems. He showed neither talent nor ability.
Yet, he was invited into the chambers. Furthermore, he was invited by the most popular girl. There could only be two possibilities.
One, he was incredibly handsome. Two, he looked like her father.
Fang Zhengzhi felt that neither was likely.
As such, the only remaining reason was...
He had no idea.
Fang Zhengzhi did not know, but, he wanted to know. As such, he began to observe Immortal Tune carefully.
”Young Master Fang, please have some tea.” Immortal Tune brought the cup of tea to Fang Zhengzhi.
”Thank you.” Fang Zhengzhi thanked her and took the cup of tea. However, he did not drink it immediately.
Immortal Tune did not wait for Fang Zhengzhi to drink it.
She turned and entered a room within the chamber. Within moments, she had changed into a different set of clothes.
he was not in a pale blue dress.
It was not as gaudy as her red dress, but it added a layer of gentleness to her. More importantly, Immortal Tune had removed her veil.
Her exquisite features were in the open for Fang Zhengzhi to see.
Immortal Tune’s features were beautiful and small. Everything about her was small, her nose, her mouth, even her face.
Yet, just looking at it was oddly calming.
Fang Zhengzhi had thought that he would have to remove the veil himself. However, Immortal Tune clearly was not going to give him the chance, removing the veil herself.
Then, everything proceeded according to plan.
Immortal Tune placed her guqin on the rosewood desk and began to perform.
A melodious tune filled the room. It felt just as comfortable as soaking in a hot spring. Coupled with the intoxicating incense, this was true enjoyment.
Fang Zhengzhi rarely listened to music and did not know much about it.
However, he had heard great musicians, including Yun Qingwu and Chi Guyan.
Yun Qingwu’s music was slightly more classy and open. It transported one’s spirits through mountains and oceans, making one feel oddly refreshed.
Chi Guyan’s music was more poetic. It made people feel like they were admiring various works of art. Everything from grass to creeks could be made beautiful by her music.
Immortal Tune’s music was different from both the others.
It was gentle.
It was as gentle as water and as warm as jade. Listening to it made one feel snug and comfortable.
Fang Zhengzhi was so captivated by the music he completely lost track of time.
All of a sudden, he felt thirsty.
He looked at the cold cup of tea in front of him.
Immortal Tune seemed to notice it. She immediately stopped playing and walked into an adjacent room. She came out with a fresh pot of tea.
She also changed into another outfit.
This one was green with embroidery of leaves. She had a matching green flower in her hair.
If she was like water previously, now, she felt like spring. Everything about her screamed nature and the warmth of spring.
”Young Master Fang, please have some tea.” Immortal Tune filled the cup and brought it to Fang Zhengzhi.
”Thank you.” Fang Zhengzhi took the cup and felt the warmth emanating for it. Yet, he did not drink the tea.
Then, his hand trembled a little.
A loose piece of silver fell into the slightly cold cup of tea.
Splash.
”Young Master Fang, you dropped a tael of silver.” Immortal Tune did not react when she saw the silver drop into the cup. She picked it up and brought it to Fang Zhengzhi.
”Thank you.” Fang Zhengzhi coughed lightly, then kept the silver.
Then, he placed the fresh cup of tea by his lip. He took a sniff, the aroma of the tea hitting his nose instantly. He gulped it down.
He swirled the tea around in his mouth.
”Good tea.”
”Thank you for the compliment. This tea was made by me. I used dried flowers to enhance the flavor.” Immortal Tune explained.
”Mm.” Fang Zhengzhi nodded.
He did not really know much about tea. He only knew if a tea was nice to drink or not. However, he now knew from Immortal Tune that this was a type of floral tea.
Immortal Tune went back to her original position.
”Young Master Fang, do you enjoy watching dances?”
”Whatever you want to perform.” Fang Zhengzhi actually enjoyed watching dances, but he could not possibly say that.
He had to show some class.
