When Lady Jin saw Su Qing, her smile became even more genuine."Why are there so many courtesies between us? Quickly get up and take a seat. I was just about to ask Yun Yao to take my pulse."
Su Qing was still nervous, but she did her best to restrain herself. She walked naturally to Lady Jin and sat down."I heard from Si Qin that Madam is here, so I immediately ordered some people to prepare some food. Madam, please wait for a moment."
"That's great. I can have a hearty meal today."
"Please rest for a moment, madame. I will go to the kitchen and have a look, so that they can prepare more carefully."
"Thank you."
"Madam is too polite."
After Su Qing left, Mu Yunyao retracted her finger and helped Madam Jin arrange the clothes on her wrist."Madam has really taken good care of herself. Her pulse is very stable, so the child should be very healthy."
"That's good, that's good!" "Oh right, I heard that you took in a girl from the Department of Tzu Hsi. How many children did you have?"
"Yes, they are extremely pitiful. Coincidentally, I don't have enough people on my side, so I had them come here to help."
Madam Jin could not help but sigh."You are just a kind-hearted person." It didn't matter if they were from the Nebula Market or not, if they wanted to find someone to help them, it would be a simple matter. How could they just need a few children?
Mu Yunyao only lightly smiled and didn't explain any further. This appearance, in the eyes of Lady Jin, confirmed her guess.
"Yunyao, I've also heard that the owner of the Rainbow Moon Pavilion, Tan Lin, has come to you twice. He hasn't come looking for trouble with you, has he?"
"In the beginning, I wanted to speak up for Tan Ba Wang, but I spoke lightly so how could I be of any help? Later on, when he heard that I wanted to teach embroidery, he offered to help me. I thought it would be good to have one more person to help, so that more people could benefit from it."
"What do you mean?" Lady Jin was stunned."Do you want the embroidery needle technique that you know to be transferred to other places?"
"Even if a part of it is passed down, a lot of it is still passed down. Moreover, these techniques will spread to every part of the city sooner or later. If we add fuel to the fire, people will be very grateful to us."
Madam Jin thought quickly."You're right, but isn't it a little inappropriate for us to do this?"
If this news were spread within a small area of the Tomb City, it could still be considered a merit. However, if it involved other areas and became a good deed to win over the hearts of the people, then they were no longer qualified.
Mu Yunyao looked puzzled."Didn't the embroidery needle technique already spread throughout Tomb City? If you were to impart knowledge from other places, it would just increase the scope of the training, so that more women could benefit from it. How is that not appropriate? " Lady Jin explained, "The influence we have in the Tomb City is limited, but once it spreads to other places, it will involve more and more people. This matter will not be so simple. Especially because of the complicated situation in Jiangnan, who knew how many people were jealous of this kind of kindness? The best way was to use embroidery needles ...
The book shall be compiled and submitted to the Emperor! " Mu Yunyao's eyes slightly trembled. She knew that since Lady Jin could say those words, she would treat her as one of her own people and thought for her sake. Thinking about what Su Qing had taught her earlier, she couldn't help but let down her guard.
"We need to borrow the help of the Rainbow Moon Pavilion to spread the embroidery needle technique even faster. This way, wouldn't we be harming him ..."
"Moon Pavilion..." Lady Jin pondered for a moment before urgently asking, "Do you have a written agreement with the Rainbow Moon Pavilion?" I signed it, but the written agreement was prepared by the manager of the Rainbow Moon Pavilion. Because I was worried that Tan Eighang would take revenge on me afterwards, I intentionally left a hand behind and didn't sign it in his own handwriting.
"The owner of the Moon Pavilion was afraid that the news would leak out and attract the attention of the other restaurants. He even asked me to conceal the news for him so that no one would be able to find out that he had sent Xiu Niang to study ..." Lady Jin couldn't help but smile and lightly tapped Mu Yunyao's forehead with her finger."It's said that there's always a way to repay a kindness. Little girl, you've done many good deeds, and now the heavens are treating you well. Alright, that's a good idea. In that case, we don't need to worry about it."The Rainbow Moon Pavilion said, what is it?"
When will you be teaching embroidery? "
"From the looks of it, he's in a hurry. It looks like it'll only take a few days." As for that written agreement, there are no traces of you on it, so it is naturally something that cannot be counted. Since it is something that cannot be counted, then when the others ask about it in the future, it will definitely be worth it.
"Don't say anymore, do you understand what I mean?"
Mu Yunyao pondered for a moment, then solemnly nodded her head, "Yes, I'll listen to Madam. But if this happens, won't it bring you and Senior Cao some trouble?" "Don't worry. Even if there are some problems, we can smoothly get through them. In general, the benefits outweigh the drawbacks." Lady Jin thought for a moment, then added, "Regarding the embroidery needle technique, you still have to hurry up and finish it. When the time is right, I will have someone take it out and send it to the capital."
"To the Emperor."
"Yes, from today onwards, I will begin to prepare. I will try my best to get it done as soon as possible!"
"There's no need to rush. You can just do it within one or two months."
Mu Yunyao nodded."Alright, that's right. Madam said before that she wanted to prepare a gift for the Emperor. I wonder if there's anything else?" "After thinking for a while, I really couldn't think of anything new, so I just thought about it. If it really isn't good, then I'll just follow my usual practice." However, this year, the Tomb City received a reward from the Emperor. If they could rely on their young age to stand out and make the emperor pay more attention to them, that would be even more beautiful.
Even the Mausoleum City had its benefits!
"I just heard from Madam that I need to tidy up the embroidery needles. I suddenly think of a method, but I don't know if it'll work." Mu Yunyao deliberated.
"Tell me quickly." Her thoughts were always different from others. She might have a good idea!
"Since we received the emperor's reward for our needlework, we might as well give him a set of embroidery."
"Embroidery? Isn't such a gift a bit too frivolous? "
"Even if the embroidery is light, it still depends on how it is done. What if each of us, the women of the Mausoleum City, were to embroider a few needles and create a shocking work together?" Mu Yunyao smiled as she looked at Lady Jin with sparkling eyes.
"If that's the case, then this piece of embroidery contains the blessings of all the females in the entire tomb to the Emperor. It naturally has an extraordinary significance ..." Lady Jin's eyes lit up. Mu Yunyao nodded with a smile."I heard that a few years ago, the former Yang Prefecture Prefect had been transferred, so the commoners took note of his clean and honest achievements and sent an umbrella to the capital, which moved the emperor's heart. He rewarded the former Yang Prefecture Prefect and even broke the rules to raise his position by three levels.
"But in a sense, it's more or less the same."
"That's right, but..."
"Does Madam think that only women would be able to complete this piece of embroidery?" "Indeed." Lady Jin nodded.
