Lady Jin put down her teacup and couldn't help but sigh. This time, she probably didn't have any more tricks up her sleeve.
After about the time it took for a cup of tea to be brewed, the Matron of the Patrol walked in happily. As soon as she entered the room, she said in a loud voice, "I must thank you very much. This outfit is very satisfactory."
Lady Jin was startled. Seeing that she didn't seem to be pretending, she couldn't help but be astonished. She quickly looked at her carefully.
The clothes didn't look fancy, but the effect of the upper part of the body was excellent. The green lines that appeared on the upper part of the body made the Madam Constable appear much thinner, and she felt clean and comfortable. It was so simple that it was even more eye-catching than fine clothing.
"Madam, if you like her, it's that little girl's honor. I'll properly reward her later."
Madam Gu felt the dress she was wearing with a special eagerness in her eyes."When you come another day, bring her along as well. Let me see for myself what kind of young lady she really is. She's so shrewd and ingenious."
"Alright, in a few days, I will definitely bring her over for you to see."
Until she left, Madam Jin's heart was still in a fog. She couldn't help but ask after getting into the carriage, "Can you tell what's so special about that set of clothes?"
"To reply Madam, this servant's heart is also filled with curiosity. I feel that it would be better to wear it, but just because it looks good, it's not worth it for Madam to be so happy." In the previous four hours, the smile on Madam Constable's face had never faded.
The corner of Lady Jin's lips curled up."It looks like I'll have to find some time to specifically ask."
She thought that Madam Sentinel's words about meeting Mu Yunyao was just a form of courtesy. She didn't expect that two days later, a post would be sent directly to her and one of it was specifically for Mu Yunyao.
After thinking for a while, Madam Jin called for Yin Hong."You should personally come and deliver this letter to Mu Yunyao."
"Yes, ma'am."
When the silver red arrived, Mu Yunyao was explaining the acupuncture skills to the ten female disciples. Upon seeing her, she hurriedly got up, "Big sister silver red, why are you here? Come in and sit down."
Mu Yunyao poured tea into her cup."Big sis is the one that makes others jealous, we don't even have that chance if we want to stay by Madam's side."Big sister came over, did you have any orders, Madam?"
"Look at what this is?" As Yin Hong said this, she took out the post, "Madam Patrol Officer is extremely satisfied with the clothes you made. She sent a special invitation for you to come to the Flower Viewing Banquet."
Mu Yunyao's face revealed a hint of fear, "This ...."How can I afford it?"
"Oh right, there's also these silver notes. They were given to you by the Matron of the Patrol of the Patronage."
The silver notes were all worth a hundred silver taels, around five or six of them. Mu Yunyao extended her hand to pick up the last remaining one, "Silver Big Sister also took mine out."
Silver-red was stunned, the jealousy in her eyes instantly replaced with excitement, "This ..." How can this be? "
With a smile on her face, Mu Yunyao cast a glance at the ten female acolytes.
She bit her lips and quickly kept the banknotes back into her sleeves, "Hurry up and get busy. I won't disturb you anymore. I'll talk to my little sister another day."
"Yao'er, stop making clothes. Hurry up and think about what you want to wear that day. For the Constable's wife's banquet, those who can attend must be people of status. You wouldn't be bullied in the past, right? "
Seeing that Su Qing was so anxious, Mu Yunyao quickly stabilized her."Mommy, don't be busy. I'm just a small character at a banquet like that, who would have the mood to make things difficult for me? Furthermore, the Madam Patrol Officer probably invited me over because of my clothes."
"Clothes? Could it be that she feels unsatisfied with her clothes and wants to punish you? "
"How can I? Mother is thinking too much. She definitely wants me to make some clothes for her."
"Is that so?" Su Qing still didn't feel reassured. She kept on nagging at Mu Yunyao for a long time. In the end, it was only when Mu Yunyao shouted that she was hungry that she got her to go cook.
The two chicks twittered around Mu Yunyao's feet, making her move to the side in disgust. In just a few days, they had grown feathers on their bodies, and without their round and hairy appearance, they were not pleasing to the eyes, "Come again, come again and I'll stew you! Six silvers, send them to mother."
Liu Gan stood in front of the chicks, his killing intent flashed across his body. Without saying a word, the two chicks ran back to the backyard with their lives on the line.
Upon seeing this scene, Mu Yunyao could not help but burst out into laughter. Her laughter was as clear and melodious as a bell ringing. Qing Ling's eyes were permeated with laughter, dispersing a deep and resplendent morning glow.
He turned his head and saw the scene before him. The corner of his lips curled up slightly.
Mu Yunyao didn't look particularly dressed up for the day of the Flower Appreciation Banquet. She chose a blouse with a water pink colored embroidery and wore a similar colored skirt. In order to not appear too plain, she randomly took out a thin piece of silk and pinched a silk flower, which, along with a silver hairpin, made her look extremely delicate and pretty.
Lady Jin had sent word for her to go to the Cao family's residence first, saying that she would bring her to the banquet. Mu Yunyao naturally wouldn't refuse such a sincere offer, and before she left, she even brought a bottle of Rose Fragrance.
After receiving the Rose Fragrance, Lady Jin was exceptionally happy."I almost ran out of the last bottle. Just as I was thinking about how I could ask you for it, you sent it over."
"Madam, are you feeling all right after using it?"
Madam Jin touched her own cheeks."It can't be any better. I won't need the Fragrance of the Rui Bao Hall from now on. I'll buy them all from you." In the short span of a few days, her skin had become much smoother.
"Madam, you've always praised me, and I'm already embarrassed. Please use it. If you don't have any left, then just let people know."
Lady Jin smiled and nodded."That's right, I haven't asked you yet. Just what kind of mystery is hidden in the clothes you made for Madam Sentinel? Why is she so fond of them?"
"Actually, I have to thank Madam for that."
"Thank me?" "I don't remember how I helped you."
Mu Yunyao explained in a soft voice, "I heard from my wife that she's a fan of ice bowls and has been eating since the end of April."
"I did mention that, but what does it have to do with you making clothes?"
"The weather in Jiangnan is very hot, but the temperature in April is still very moderate. The Chief Patrol Officer actually started to eat her ice bowl. The ladies' clothes are all special. In order to be more dignified and beautiful, I didn't need too light of material. So I made some efforts in this area to make my clothes a little more clean at the same time."
Lady Jin suddenly realized that when she saw the Chief Constable before, she had secretly thought about why she loved to sweat so much, but she didn't think that her thoughts weren't as meticulous as a little girl's."You really do have an exquisite heart, to be able to find the crux of it from my words."
This would explain why the Madam Patrol Officer was so happy, but it wouldn't be underestimating the small problem of sweating. After all, how could they not be careful with their makeup when they went out to meet guests?
"Thank you, Madam, for your advice." Mu Yunyao's humble attitude couldn't help but cause Lady Jin to hold her in even higher regard.
