| ← Ch.143 | Ch.145 → |
After more than ten days of bustling, a caravan departed from Ziling City under the guise of transporting tea leaves, heading westward towards Yuxi City, which was the closest city to the west of Guangdong Province.
Steward Qin had finished his business with the ginger tea and was once again focusing on the 'No Envy' restaurant. After copying the signboard made by the Emperor Mo Bao, he was finally given it after being meticulously carved by over a dozen craftsmen. In order to show his respect, Mu Yunyao discussed with him and specially selected a good day. She invited Cao Yunsheng and the rest to put out the 1000 echo firecrackers on the signboard before hanging it up solemnly.
He went up! Such a grand scene naturally attracted more than half of the people from the Tomb City to come watch. Mu Yunyao announced that she would spend the next half a month's worth of her money to buy grain and give it to the lonely, elderly and children who were born with a difficult family background as an expression of her gratitude to the Emperor.
。
During this time, the head of the Tzu Chi Department came to see Qing Xin and wanted to bring her back. However, after hearing that she had signed a contract with Qing Shui, he cursed her for being heartless and left bitterly.
Qing Qing knew that Mu Yunyao was extremely disgusted with her previous actions, so she didn't intentionally move closer to her. Instead, after cleaning up the residence, she focused on learning embroidery under Lady Ding. Her talent wasn't bad, and she had even learned half of it before. Nan'er's injuries were already sufficient to get out of bed. Every day, she would follow behind Mu Yunyao, hoping to help her a little. However, seeing that he was about to cough, Jin Lan was so shocked that she hurriedly sent him back to his room. After delivering him this many times every day for three to four days, Jin Lan couldn't take it anymore.
Mu Yunyao complained.
After Mu Yunyao called Nan'er over to give her a careful warning, she finally made him give up on the thought of helping her. He could only concentrate on recuperating his body and wait for his body to recover before repaying her properly.
After the Double Sun Festival, the weather had clearly turned cold. When Mu Yunyao had changed into some clothes and was preparing to leave, Su Qing chased after her and put on a green embroidered cloak for her.
The light jade cloak made Mu Yunyao's face turn even paler. Her charm was like tender tofu, causing Su Qing to reach out and touch her cheek."Hurry up and greet Lady Jin on my behalf. You must be careful on the way."
Mu Yunyao intimately rubbed her hands against Su Qing's and smiled with her eyes curved, "Yes, mother, don't worry. I will be back soon."
This morning, Lady Jin had sent someone to invite her. Mu Yunyao didn't dare to delay when she saw the maid's anxious expression. After changing her clothes, she took a carriage to the Cao family's residence.
Silver Red was anxiously waiting at the door. Seeing Mu Yunyao come down, he hurriedly went up to pay his respects, "Greetings Miss Mu. You're finally here. Madam is waiting for you!"
Seeing her silver red face turn ugly, Mu Yunyao was shocked. She quickly followed her to the backyard.
In the room, Mrs Jin was lying on the bed with a pale face while Cao YunNian watched anxiously by the side.
Upon entering the room, he smelt the scent of medicine. Mu Yunyao could not help but furrow her brows, but upon seeing Cao Yunsheng she immediately knelt down, "Greetings, Sir Cao."
"Miss Mu, please excuse me. Please help Madam take a look."
Mu Yunyao didn't care about being polite and hurriedly went up to take Madam Jin's pulse.
Maybe it was because when Madam Jin heard Mu Yunyao's voice, she opened her eyes and firmly held her hand, "Yunyao, is the child in my womb alright? You have to help me protect him, I don't care what happens to him, I just don't want anything to go wrong with him! "
Mu Yunyao's heart stirred and she hurriedly held her in her hands."Madame, don't worry. I'll do my best. Please don't be agitated at this moment, or else ..."
Madame Jin turned her head slightly, and tears began to flow from the corners of her eyes. Cao Yunsheng was pacing back and forth at the side. When he saw her expression, his expression became more anxious."Oh, ma'am, don't be sad. I will definitely give you an explanation."
Just as Cao YunNian finished speaking, Silver Red walked in."Reporting to the Master and Madam, Aunt Wang is kneeling at the entrance to the courtyard."
Lady Jin's face turned cold as she said to Cao Yunsheng, "I look haggard today, so it's not convenient for me to see the old master. You should leave first."
The anxiety on Cao Yunsheng's face deepened, but because of Mu Yunyao's presence, it wasn't convenient for him to say anything. He could only hesitate for a moment before slowly saying, "Then Madame must rest well, I'll come to see you later." After Cao Yunsheng left, Silver Flame went out to take a look and returned to report to Lady Jin, "Madam, Aunt Wang is still kneeling at the courtyard entrance. When Master left just now, she seemed to have said something that made Master give her a kick." Seeing that Lady Jin had slightly nodded her head to indicate that she had heard his words, Yin Hong withdrew herself from the room.
Standing guard at the door. When there were no outsiders in the room, Mu Yunyao, who had her head lowered, finally opened her mouth and asked, "Madam, why must you go through all this trouble?" Just now, when she had helped to feel out Madam Jin's pulse, she had discovered that her pulse was extremely stable and that nothing had happened. However, her face was pale and she forcefully shook her hand, hinting that she had followed her instructions ...
Down."Yunyao, I'm really sorry for dragging you into this mess. For the past two days, there have been people who have been unhappy about me and always talked about me in front of the old master, which has caused some enmity in his heart. If I don't get rid of this enmity, sooner or later, it will form into a knot in his heart.
I can't open it again."
"As long as Madam is fine, it's good enough. For you to be able to call me over like this, it's because you don't treat me as an outsider. Why would I mind?" Mu Yunyao thought for a moment and was able to guess a few things. There was a rumor that Cao Yunsheng had made it to the top so quickly, mostly because of the Eastern Wind of Lady Jin's family. Later on, Lady Jin's clothes attracted Cai Die, making the Emperor promote Cao YunNian to the next rank. Later on, she gave Madame Jin an additional title due to the dissemination of the embroidery needlework.
The greatest fortune of the year was the marriage of a good wife."At this time, if someone intentionally made a scene or two, it was highly likely that they would mislead him." I told the old master about the gift. After hearing the news, Patrol Officer Zhang was also very moved, so he thought to find a few blessed elders from all over the place to write down the good fortune and bring it to the Tomb City for embroidery. I don't need to collect the words from the beginning ...
We are all worried that you will send someone to take care of it. However, do you think that the final embroidery item will be completed? " Mu Yunyao thought for a moment before replying, "I'm in a hurry now. If I had to do the embroidery more, it would take a lot of time. However, since Patrolman Zhang has spoken, even if I have to work day and night, I still have to try my best to finish it. [Embroidery is nine feet tall and five feet high, which is exactly the same as the Nine Five Sovereign's Intent!]
"What do you think, ma'am?"
Lady Jin looked apologetically at Mu Yunyao."Of course it's best this way, but it'll be hard on you."
Mu Yunyao said with a smile, "To be able to receive the Emperor's bestowment, I feel extremely grateful in my heart. No matter how difficult it is, I will gladly endure it."
Moreover, she had helped to embroider this new year's gift. Not only did she want to show her face in front of the Emperor, more importantly, she wanted to use this opportunity to provoke the Su Clan.
Back then, on the day of the Emperor's birthday, not only did the Su Clan not help the Su Clan gain any glory, but because the meaning of the bloodstained mountains and rivers was not good, it caused the Emperor to be furious, and the Su Clan to be humiliated as well. It was likely that the one that the Su Clan was most unwilling to see was the embroidery. She just had to give them another set of embroidery. If this embroidery was praised by the Emperor, it would definitely make them feel as if their throats were stuck on their throats. Taking a step back, even if this piece of embroidery didn't receive the Emperor's praise, it would still be able to remind the Emperor of the matter of the Su Clan sending the screen over to the Emperor. As long as it could make the Su Clan unhappy, she was willing to be busy for a few months.
