Mu Zichen continued to lead her inside, crossed a long carved corridor, and walked into a small hall. It is said to be a small hall, but in fact, it is only a little smaller than the living room, but it is actually amazingly large, enough to accommodate hundreds of people.

In the hall, Mondstadt, the butler, and several servants stood respectfully and waited, and when they saw the two of them enter, they immediately saluted respectfully.

Mu Zichen ignored them and led Su Ye straight to the top of the huge long dining table placed in the middle of the restaurant, he pulled out the chair on the side of the main seat, put his hands on Su Ye's shoulders and pressed her on it, and carefully laid out the napkin for her, and then walked to the side of the main seat and sat down.

Mondstadt came over with a kind smile and asked respectfully, "Master, is it okay to eat?" ”

Mu Zichen was sitting on the main seat, and did not answer him, but only bowed his head slightly to show his agreement.

With Mu Zichen's permission, Mondstadt didn't directly instruct the servants around him, but just pressed a bracelet-like thing on his hand.

Then, I saw several servants stepping into the dining room in an orderly manner with exquisite meals, respectfully placing them on the table, and then automatically withdrew.

Su Ye looked at Mu Zichen with some confusion, Mu Zichen looked at her puzzled little appearance, naturally knew what she was thinking, and explained with a shallow smile, "Except for the butler Mondstadt and Aunt Hong, everyone else in the castle is deaf and mute, including servants and cooks.

Of course, bodyguards are normal people, because if there is any emergency, they can't hear it, it's really inconvenient. ”

Su Ye almost dropped his jaw in shock, and his mouth was open enough to swallow an egg, so so many servants were all deaf and mute? Isn't this castle a silent world?

She slowed down for a while to digest this information, straightened her face, and then asked slowly, "Where did the uncle find so many deaf and mute people?" ”

After all, there must be more than 20 people standing in the restaurant in front of you, not to mention the people who are working everywhere. The entire castle must have a hundred and ten servants, to say the least.

Mu Zichen continued, "They are basically orphans that I collected from orphanages all over the world, and they were abandoned by their families because of their physical defects. ”

Mu Zichen actually had some reservations in what he said, as he said, most of the servants were abandoned by their families to come to the castle because they were congenitally deaf and mute, but there were also a few who were caused by his later pouring of decoction, of course, provided that they were all voluntary.

Although they voluntarily harmed themselves in order to stay in the castle, but in the end, it was still a little cruel, such a dark side, he didn't want Su Ye to know that his Su Er was kind and didn't even want to pick wild flowers on the side of the road, so he chose to hide it, because she was not suitable to listen to this.

Su Ye glanced at the servants standing around him, and said sympathetically, "They are so pitiful." Then he blinked, and asked suspiciously, "Uncle, since they are all deaf and mute, how do they communicate with each other?" Won't it affect the work? ”

Mu Zichen thoughtfully cut the steak on the plate in front of him into small pieces of uniform size, put it in front of Su Ye and exchanged it with her plate, and beckoned her to eat it while it was hot.

He still didn't put down the knife and fork, cut the steak elegantly like a nobleman, and said calmly, "Each of them has been professionally trained, and each of them has a different division of labor, they just need to do their own thing." And everyone wears a special bracelet, and each room also has a call button, if in the future, you have something that needs to be arranged, press the butler button directly, and they will sense it. ”

Su Ye nodded as if he didn't understand, glanced at the servants, and sure enough, everyone was wearing a bracelet. Su Yexiu's eyebrows tightened, and her little head thought stupidly, what if she pressed the call button and a group of servants came? She thought about the image and shook her head in a panic...

Mu Zichen seemed to understand what she was worried about, smiled lightly on her lips, and said clearly, "There won't be the kind of situation you are worried about, this bracelet is a very complete system, it will automatically sort and screen, and then the brightness of each person's bracelet light will be different." Only if your bracelet shows the most vivid red, they will come to you. ”

Su Ye understood now, oh, and then asked another hundred thousand why, "Then why did the uncle choose the deaf and dumb people in the ancient castle?" ”

This is what she wants to ask the most, obviously there will be a lot of inconvenience in this way, and it will take extra effort to come up with a system, why bother?

Thinking of the reason, Mu Zichen's eyes darkened for a while, and a layer of cold cold air flashed, but it was quickly removed by him, and he said in a flat voice, "Because... I like the quiet. ”

The reason he didn't tell her the real reason he didn't want anyone to divulge his secret, because he wasn't going to tell her that secret either. If she told her that he was poisoned and would go crazy uncontrollably once a month, would she be afraid? Would you even think he's a monster?

He didn't want to and couldn't afford the consequences if she would leave him then, so he chose not to tell her.

Of course, there may be another possibility, and she may continue to stay with him. However, he didn't want to gamble because he couldn't afford it. Anything about this little woman, he didn't want to take the slightest risk.

Su Ye directly rolled his eyes speechlessly when he heard the reason he spit out flatly. So, just because you like to be quiet, you don't have any sound in the whole castle? What a broken reason for this.

Su Ye pursed his lips and secretly slandered, it's good if you're happy, who made you the owner of the ancient castle? You're the boss, you're in charge!

Mu Zichen looked at her dotingly, and said seriously, "If you find it inconvenient, I can ask Mondstadt to find a few normal servants to come in. ”

Su Ye waved his hand again and again, and said anxiously, "No, no, that's fine." ”

Mu Zichen put a thick soup in front of her, and then slowly said, "Eat it." After a moment's thought, he continued, "In the future, if you have something to do, you can directly ask Mondstadt or Aunt Red to do it, and I will also arrange for Mondstadt to choose a few competent maids to serve you." ”

Su Ye picked up a piece of steak and put it in her mouth, closed her eyes and chewed it a few times, it was delicious, she had never eaten such a delicious steak, it was even more delicious than the last time she ate it at Yunya Restaurant, it was tender and juicy, and the heat was also medium rare that she liked.

But her raised little face, and soon caught a glimpse of the servant who was still standing respectfully around her, she lowered her head a little embarrassed, and opened her voice in a low voice, although the servant couldn't hear it, she still subconsciously lowered her voice, "That... Uncle, do you still have a hobby of eating and broadcasting? ”

"Huh?" Mu Zichen obviously didn't understand what she meant for a while, and his face was puzzled.

"Do you need so many people here to watch a meal?" Su Ye opened his mouth a little awkwardly.

Hearing this, Mondstadt stepped forward and saluted respectfully, then said, "Young lady, these servants are here to wait for you and the young master to send you, and to serve you with food and dinner. ”

Su Ye glanced at the calm man beside him, pouted and muttered dissatisfiedly, "Then there won't be so many people." "Uncle usually lets so many maids serve his meals like an emperor? Although she knew that it was just a meal, she still felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.

Mu Zichen gave Mondstadt a look, and Mondstadt immediately let most of the servants leave, leaving him and the two maids standing respectfully at the table in the hall.

Su Ye was satisfied and continued to patronize the food on the table, and Mondstadt would take care of the food for her and Mu Zichen. Su Ye secretly sighed, the life of a rich person is really a trench!

Su Ye thought that this was the best meal she had ever eaten in her life, it was impeccable, every dish was so delicious, the little belly she ate directly was bulging, bulging like a small leather ball.

After the meal, Mu Zichen looked at her round belly, smiled helplessly and dotingly, took her hand and walked to the garden of the ancient castle, eating so much will be uncomfortable.

In the garden, the flowers are in full bloom, competing for beauty, and it seems to cover all kinds of flowers, ordinary and precious, and there are some strange flowers and plants that cannot be named.

It can be seen that someone has taken care of it, and some of the flowers are not even in bloom, but the whole garden is already in full bloom and beautiful.

In the garden, there are some rockeries of different shapes, and there is a circle of musical fountains around a huge rockery in the center, and the water column of the fountain twists its waist and dances with the tune of the music, like a group of graceful girls dancing.

At this moment, it was noon, the sun was a little blazing, Mu Zichen was worried that she was basking in the sun, and led her to the side of the corridor. The white carved Roman columns are arranged in neatly spaced rows, and the canopy is made of short transverse columns.

But what catches the eye more is the clusters of cyan vines, the green vines wrap around the pillars, blocking the harsh sunlight and providing shade under the corridor.

Under the green vines, clusters of purple grapes hang from the water. If you look closely, you will find that it is a cluster of wisteria flowers, the outer petals of the small flowers are white, and the inner layer is lavender, white and purple, and the color is bright.

A breeze blows, green vines flutter in the wind, clusters of lilac flowers sway in the wind, and a faint fragrance comes to the nose, which is refreshing.

Su Ye broke free of Mu Zichen's hand and ran away like a child, she looked at it here and there, the flowers in the garden were so beautiful, she greedily wanted to engrave the beauty of all the flowers into her mind.

She was looking at the flowers, but Mu Zichen was looking at her, and her doting black eyes kept chasing the moving figure for a moment.

Her fair little face was flushed, and a faint smile was on her lips, and he had only her in his eyes, as if she were standing there, so that all the charming flowers lost their color, and they were less than a ten-thousandth of hers.

Mu Zichen caught up and led her to sit down on the stone bench under the corridor, Su Ye leaned comfortably in his arms, and said with some regret, "This garden is so beautiful, it is simply perfect, the only fly in the ointment is that there is a swing missing." ”

After a pause, Mu Zichen took her hand and continued to walk along the corridor, which was a large outdoor swimming pool, with clear and cool water waving in the breeze.

Su Ye is a landlubber, but when he saw this pool, he had an inexplicable urge to learn to swim. Under the warm sun, she squatted down, her white jade fingers poked into the pool water, and a cool and refreshing feeling reached the palm of her hand.

A mischievous smile sparkled on her lips, and then she picked up a large handful of water and threw it towards Mu Zichen, giggling like a little fox after splashing, laughing wantonly and happily.

Mu Zichen looked at the soaked expensive shirt on his body, not only did he not get angry, but he smiled dotingly on his lips, and sighed helplessly, "Bad girl." ”

Su Ye saw that he was not angry, and he was going to continue to hold water, but Mu Zichen grabbed his arm quickly, and said in a stern voice, "The wound on your body is not healed yet, be careful that it is stained with water vapor." ”
