Chapter 139
Thick Gift
Mu Yunyao chuckled . “Ni Yun Fang has already established itself in Jingling City, but it is still too small . Now that everything is ready, it’s time for us to spread it to another place . I was worried about this matter when Lord Tan came knocking . He has helped me a lot . ”
“Miss Mu, please tell me in detail, because it makes me happy as well . ”
Listening to Mu Yunyao retelling the conversation now, Steward Qin couldn’t help but feel a little worried . “Miss, passing down the embroidery needle technique is a great contribution, how can you bear to hand it over to Tan Lin?” Then wouldn’t the credit and reputation go to Cai Yue Pavilion?
“Whether it’s Ni Yun Fang or Bu Xian Luo, it’s not about reputation . ” Her original intention was to earn money and teach the embroidery needle technique to win her reputation . Her goal was to lay a foundation so that she could get money faster . If you blindly strive for credit, then it is turning the cart before the horse .
Steward Qin came to a sudden realization . “I don’t think about it anymore . Ni Yun Fang’s business is already flourishing . It’s good to have Cai Yue Pavilion to support it . ”
“That’s right, let Cai Yue Pavilion be busy . When the embroidery needle technique spreads out to more places, we can go there to select the female embroiderer and open Ni Yun Fang . ”
“If that’s the case, with the improvement in our embroidery skills, will they be robbed of our business?”
“Yes, since Miss Mu has said so, my heart is much more at ease . ”
Liu Liang was so fast . When Mu Yunyao returned home from Jin Xiu Garden, he reports to her the price of things Mu Yunyao needed . After roughly sweeping through it and seeing that there were no problems, Mu Yunyao directly gave silver notes to Lu Liang . “Let Qi Ming buy food as soon as possible . These days, there are more merchants in Jingling City . If possible, he would try his best to hide it from others . After all, if the news of you suddenly buying so much grain were to spread, it would likely cause some unnecessary misunderstandings . ”
“Mistress, don’t worry . I’ve already told everyone that these grains will be disguised as fresh leaves to make tea and won’t noticed by anyone . ”
“Alright . ” Mu Yunyao didn’t ask Liu Liang for more details . This person’s background was a mystery, so she didn’t know when their relationship as master and servant would end . As long as he didn’t have any ill intentions towards her, everything else would be fine .
Liu Liang exited the door, and bursts of loss flowed in his heart . He didn’t dare reveal his identity to Mu Yunyao, but her attitude of not asking questions made him feel like she didn’t have anything to do with it .
The next morning, Mu Yunyao came to Jin Xiu Garden early to see Steward Qin: “I’ve already sent someone to buy rice grains . In a few days, they will be sending them back one after another . Have you chosen a place, Steward Qin? The grains had to be ground into noodles and then stir-fried with ginger and green vegetables . Not only does it require space, but it also needs a lot of workforces . ”
“Miss Mu, don’t worry . Wang Ye once bought a small residence, and it was a secluded place . There are very few people there, and many farmers around there are doing their work, so they are trustworthy, and they can help . ” Steward Qin excited . This batch of ginger tea had delivered to Western Guangdong and sent to the troops under the command of Wang Ye . The generals would then be able to enjoy themselves .
Looking at Steward Qin’s happy expression, Mu Yunyao suddenly smiled . “Didn’t Steward Qin previously say that the life of Wang Ye is so difficult? Where did you get the money for the beautiful garden and the other houses?”
“Cough… Wang Ye’s savings were all spent on these two places . Any playboy in the Xiling’s Capital would spend money like water, and Wang Ye had to work hard for so many years in order to save up enough money to buy a place to stay . The difference between them is really . . . ” Steward Qin gave a heavy sigh .
Mu Yunyao saw Steward Qin’s awkward expression and couldn’t help but nod her head, “You’re right . . . Wang Ye isn’t easy to deal with . ” For smart people, it’s okay if you only point it out, so they will know that it’s not easy to deceive you .
“That’s right . I’ll need Miss Mu’s care in the future . ”
Mu Yunyao paused for a moment . The word ‘take care’ wasn’t something she could casually say . Even if Yue Wang is not favored, he was still a prince . How could she take care of him? She was just about to speak but was interrupted by Jin Lan’s action of entering the room . “Miss, Lord Tan is here . ”
Steward Qin quickly took his leave, “Then I will take my leave first . If Miss has any orders, please get someone to tell me . ”
At this time, it was too late to explain, so Mu Yunyao could only nod and agree, “Bring him in . ”
Tan Lin brought a lot of people this time, and he carried more than a dozen boxes . When he saw Mu Yunyao, he stepped forward and greeted with a smile: “Greetings, Miss Mu!”
No matter who saw the sincere smile on Tan Lin’s face, they would not believe that there was such a great hostility between the two .
Mu Yunyao sighed in her heart . With his perseverance, She could not underestimate Tan Lin . “Lord Tan is polite, this …” Seeing that Mu Yunyao was looking at the box behind her, Tan Lin signaled the servant to open it . “Miss Mu and I are the owners of embroidery shop . There are some fabrics and embroidery threads here . I would like to ask Miss Mu to help us check out their quality . Naturally, Miss Mu is busy and not easy to take up your time . Here is a little gift . Please, accept them . ”
Jin Lan took the box from Tan Lin’s hands and gave it to Mu Yunyao .
Mu Yunyao lowered her eyes to look at it, and her eyelids couldn’t help but twitch . The box did not look big, but it was full of silver notes . It was at least seventy to eighty thousand taels of silver .
Mu Yunyao didn’t reply for a long time, and Tan Lin didn’t urge her either . From start to finish, he stood below her with a smile on his face .
After a long time, Mu Yunyao finally spoke . “In the past two days, a new batch of tea leaves has come out . I’ve personally made two, would Lord Tan like to have a taste?”
“My pleasure . ” Tan Lin’s heart flashed with ecstasy . He had succeeded!
Mu Yunyao personally brewed tea, and the exquisite tea ceremony made Tan Lin gasp in amazement .
“It’s no wonder that the tea ceremony is so popular . Miss Mu’s skills at brewing tea are really pleasing to the eyes . ”
“I have let Lord Tan down . I’m good at embroidery, but as a weak woman, I’m content to be able to live a peaceful life in Jingling City . I’ll need LordTan’s help with the rest . ”
“Of course . Please rest assured, Miss Mu . Cai Yue Pavilion is everywhere . We will definitely be able to bring out Miss Mu’s embroidery needle technique . ”
Mu Yunyao smiled and nodded . “It is generally for the best . ”
Tan Lin sipped some tea and said, “Since Miss Mu likes Cai Yue Pavilion, shouldn’t Cai Yue Pavilion and Ni Yun Fang sign a contract? This way, both you and I will be more at ease . ”
Mu Yunyao nodded, “That is only natural . Once we have discussed this matter, we will naturally sign a written agreement . Since Lord Tan is also an open-minded person, I will speak frankly . ”
“Miss Mu, please feel free to tell me . ”
