Chapter 121: Visiting Song Mian’s Father

This would not be the first time that Song Mian got shooed away by his girlfriend after she got what she wanted from him . He was totally unaffected by it .

This place was different from her room . Anyone was welcome here, as long as they didn’t affect Yun Lin . Song Mian didn’t dwell on it and stood up . He said good night to Yun Xiangxiang nicely before he took his leave .

Yun Xiangxiang immediately logged in to her online banking account and transferred the money to the number Li Xiangling had sent to her earlier .

Yun Xiangxiang looked at her wallet that lightened significantly and lamented, “Make money, make money . Must make more money!”

She had only met Song Mian’s father since she became his girlfriend . She had not reached the stage of meeting everyone else in the family yet .

She would need to give some presents to them when it was time for them to meet . Given the upbringing of the Song Family, even if it was just a token gift, nobody would say anything even if the gifts weren’t expensive .

Yun Xiangxiang didn’t want to puff herself up to her own cost . Neither did she want to embarrass Song Mian .

After a night of uninterrupted sleep, Yun Xiangxiang took Yun Lin along to visit Master Song on Sunday after they packed everything .

When the car stopped in front of the Song Family’s manor, Yun Lin tugged at his sister furtively after he saw Song Mian getting off the car . “I’m not dreaming, am I?”

“You aren’t . ” It seemed that she wasn’t the only one that was shocked by the Song Family’s manor .

“Big Sis, are you sure you didn’t bring me to your film’s shooting venue?” Yun Lin continued .

“No . ”

Song Mian was already at her side by this time and opened the door for her . Yun Xiangxiang followed the beckon and got off .

Yun Lin also followed closely . He tried his best to put up a polite front, even though he was shaken to his core .

Naturally, the one who welcomed them this time wasn’t Song Yao who was with them on the trip . It was another man in a grey robe . He only looked like he was in his thirties, but his every movement had an air of steadiness to it .

Yun Xiangxiang guessed that he was the head butler by Master Song’s side – Song An .

“Hello, Uncle An,” Yun Xiangxiang greeted first .

“Hello, Uncle An,” Yun Lin followed after his sister .

“Hello, Miss Yun, Young Master Yun . Our master has been waiting for you two for a long time,” Song An gave way to both of them smilingly . “Please come in . ”

Yun Lin kept his eyes wide as they followed Song An inside . He couldn’t hide his expression of shock even if he wanted to .

Yun Xiangxiang and Yun Lin were brought to the Guiyi Courtyard directly this time . Yun Lin’s shock turned into a gasp once he stepped foot inside .

Even if boys didn’t like flowers and plants as much as girls did, they would gasp when they saw a place that was immersed in flowers .

“It’s so pretty here . I have never seen so many flowers before . I don’t recognize a whole lot of them . ”

“You’re a boy with great taste . I like you,” Master Song’s voice interjected .

Master Song was donning a casual practice wear today . He had a mysterious aura befitting a master about him .

Yun Xiangxiang would look up to Master Song a lot were it not for yesterday’s little episode .

“Father, is your headache better now?” Song Mian asked filially .

Yun Xiangxiang tried very hard to not let the corners of her lips curl .

Master Song glanced coldly at Song Mian before walking to the spot between Yun Xiangxiang and Yun Lin . “I made a feast themed with flowers for you two today . Every dish has flowers as its ingredient . ”

“Really?” Yun Lin got excited first .

“Hi, Mr . Song . This is a little token of my regard . I hope you find it to your liking,” Yun Xiangxiang hurriedly handed the gift over .

“I’ll take it since it’s the first time . Don’t be so formal next time,” Master Song took the gift himself and passed it to Song Mian . “Carry this carefully . ”

Song Mian stretched his hand in a show of respect for Master Song .

“Go and do your stuff if there’s nothing else . I’ll be entertaining them . I’ll call you when it’s time to eat,” Master Song said to Song Mian smilingly .

“I don’t have any stuff to do today either,” Song Mian answered .

Master Song harrumphed, but he immediately changed his expression to that of a warm, approachable one when he faced Yun Xiangxiang and Yun Lin, “I’ll take you two on a tour around my garden . ”

Yun Xiangxiang didn’t stay for long during her last visit . Half of the time was spent listening to a tune, and the other was spent touring the orchid garden .

Master Song took them on a real tour around his garden this time . He introduced his flowers to them while they toured .

Master Song was jubilant when he saw Yun Lin and Yun Xiangxiang listening intently . He went on to elaborate on the source, nurturing, country of origin, and species in great detail . Yun Xiangxiang learnt a lot over the course of one morning .

She only knew that a lot of flowers had tremendous medicinal value . They could also be used commercially even if they couldn’t be used in medicine .

“This house is so fragrant . ” They passed by a small cabin, Yun Lin took a deep breath .

“This here is the spice room . I like to collect spices during my free time,” Master Song asked Song An to open the door .

“You like to collect spices in your free time?” Yun Xiangxiang was surprised .

Her gift coincided with his hobby through pure luck .

Master Song was a sharp man . He understood that what Song Mian was carrying was actually a spice when he heard that .

“Was it you who revealed it, brat?”

Song Mian shook his head, “She asked me to examine it after she made the purchase . ”

“Hahahaha…,” Master Song was elated . “It seems like fate does smile upon us, little girl . ”

“It’s a great coincidence,” Yun Xiangxiang was happy too . Gifts were meant to be to the receiver’s liking .

“Take it here . Let me see what kind of spice you brought me . ” Initially, Master Song didn’t want to open the gift out of courtesy . However, the situation changed . “I’ll extract the fragrance later for you to assess . ”

“We don’t know a thing about this,” said Yun Xiangxiang immediately .

Yun Xiangxiang really didn’t understand things that were as elegant and ancient as this . Not in her previous life, not in her present life .

“I like the honest layman the most,” Master Song laughed . “That way, I can know how they truly feel . ”

Yun Xiangxiang thought about the Erhu tune of schadenfreude played by Master Song last time . She held Yun Lin’s hand and followed Master Song inside quietly .

“Yah, it is a good quality ambergris,” Master Song saw the spice inside once he opened the box .

Master Song had already guessed that it wasn’t any ordinary spice since it passed Song Mian’s assessment, but he didn’t expect that it would be an expensive ambergris .

“This costs too much . You’re still a student,” Master Song still chided her even though he liked the gift very much .

“I didn’t actually choose an expensive one on purpose . I thought that this thing suits you when I saw a friend of mine selling it yesterday by chance,” Yun Xiangxiang explained .

She didn’t know that Master Song liked spices . She only thought that such an ancient family must adore ancient culture . Coincidentally, Kodo [1] was one of the oldest cultures of China .

“No next time,” Master Song kept the ambergris Yun Xiangxiang gave him happily and took out his own spices .

There was a small table in the spice room . It had all sorts of spice containers and tools on it . Yun Xiangxiang and Yun Lin sat across to Song Mian .

They watched Master Song’s movements quietly . His every move was engrossing . The courtyard was already quiet to begin with . When the fragrance started to spread, it made anyone who smelled it feel like they were transported back to an ancient era .

The fragrance was elegant and clean, sweet and long lasting .

The sound of Guqin [2] started playing by their ears suddenly . Its timelessness captured the souls of its listeners . ””
