Mu Yunyao smiled and said, "It's already April, and it's only a few days until the Dragon Boat Festival. The citizens of the Tombal Mountain City have been taking great care of me, so I wanted to take advantage of the Dragon Boat Festival to thank the citizens of the Tombal Mountain City." He knew about what had happened in Tomb City, and he had also heard of the good name of the Nebula Market and the 'No Envy Pavilion'. The scene of the porridge being rewarded was grand, and it was even drawn by Grandmaster Li Chong and delivered to the emperor through the hands of Grand Princess Yi.
This time, Mu Yunyao was making a big move, so he naturally had to participate. Once news of this spread to the Emperor's ears, it could also be considered as increasing the number of chips he had on his side.
"How does Miss Mu wish to thank the locals?" There was still some time before the Dragon Boat Festival. If she were to ask now, it would mean that she needed a long period of time to prepare. In that case, the scene would definitely not be small.
"The customs of the Dragon Boat Festival are also those. Since I have thanked the common people today, naturally, I can only give them some rice and dumplings. After all, this is the most practical way for the common people."
"Indeed, how much does Lady Mu intend to send?"
"During this period of time, Nebula Pavilion and Bu Fang had made some money. I'm prepared to pay 100, 000 silver. I've basically taken out all of the profits I earned previously."
Li Mu Nian had guessed that Mu Yunyao's movements were not small, but he didn't expect her to be this big."One hundred thousand taels?" In a place like Ziling City where natural calamities had occurred, the government had allocated several hundred thousand taels of silver for disaster relief. Now that she had suddenly offered a hundred thousand taels of silver, the citizens of the city would go crazy with joy.
Li Yuan could not help but answer, "Miss Mu, it's not easy for you to manage Nebula Pavilion and not to mention how hard it is for you to earn some silver taels. Do you not feel any pain in your heart to take them out so easily?"
Mu Yunyao lowered her eyes and lightly smiled, a little embarrassed on the surface."Speaking of which, I don't simply want to thank the common people, but more of it is to gain a good name for myself."
Hearing her express her thoughts so plainly, Li Yuan's gaze became even more surprised."As far as I know, there is no one in the Tomb City who does not know of this lady's reputation. Even the emperor praises the lady, but in my opinion, there is no need to be so harsh on yourself."
Just now, the tea cup that Ming Yin had brought to Li Yuan was spilled, leaving nothing in front of him. Mu Yunyao walked behind the table that was used for making tea and, as she replied, she started to make tea, "My lord, as an official, I don't know what the people from my business are thinking, but it's actually a good name. It's actually just a selfish thought, because the Rainbow Moon Pavilion is involved with our master's affairs, they've already been sealed in various places.
Isn't that a beautiful thing? "That's why I wanted to gain some good names. By waiting for Nebula Pavilion to open up in other places, I guess the resistance I would encounter would be less."
Li Mu let out a young laugh."Miss Mu is quite frank."
"Before you two sirs, I do not dare to lie and act rashly. Furthermore, with my little thoughts, Milord would be able to guess it even if I did not say it." As she spoke, the teacup in Mu Yunyao's hand had already been covered, and she stood up to bring it to Li Yuan Yi. She carried a blue and white porcelain teacup, her fingertip sparkling with a white light, causing people to be unable to shift their gaze away from her. When she put down the teacup, they were able to see her look even more clearly. Her complexion was as white as condensed oil, and even at such a close distance, they were unable to see her clearly.
It was as if the fragrance of flowers was not as fragrant as the fragrance of flowers. When he wanted to carefully savor it, he found that the beauty was already far away, causing him to immediately stand up.
Li Munian was pondering over Mu Yunyao's words when he noticed Li Yuan's movements. He frowned, "Uncle, you haven't even had a sip of tea, and you want to return to the magistrate court?"
Li Yuan suddenly came back to his senses and realized that Mu Yunyao was looking at him with a strange expression. He immediately became annoyed and almost blurted out the beauty, "I've always heard of Miss Mu's beautiful name, but was unlucky enough to meet her. Seeing her today, I can't help but be excited. Please forgive me."
"It's fine, master is too polite." Mu Yunyao hurriedly shook her head before turning her gaze towards Li Munian, "Sir Li, is it possible to do what I've said?"
"The young lady is kind-hearted, so I naturally have to support her. However, this hundred thousand taels isn't small. It wouldn't be easy for the young lady to exchange it for food and distribute it to the common people in the city." "Buying food in large quantities would consume a lot of energy, so I have to think about it carefully." "It's too specific, I don't have a constitution, so I came to ask Sir Li. Earlier, when I served porridge, it was actually my foster father who was in charge. I only paid a few taels of silver and gained some glory. If Sir Li had a specific constitution, I would have sent the silver taels to your residence." Mu Yunyao said.
"Look at what I'm saying, it's as if I'm deliberately trying to be lazy. Nebula Market and Unenviable Tower also have a lot of helpers, at that time, if the lord needs help, I'll definitely do my best."
Li Yuan could not help but open his mouth and say, "Don't worry miss, we are naturally supportive of such good things. We will come up with a specific plan to discuss with you in the next two days, what do you think?"
Mu Yunyao couldn't help but smile, "This is naturally for the best, it'll be hard on you two sirs."
"How can there not be any hard work? For such a good thing, we officials naturally would like to have a few more." Under Mu Yunyao's clear gaze, Li Yuan felt as if his entire being was floating, "Nephew, what do you think?" This Li Yuan was simply too perverted. Not to mention that Mu Yunyao was still young, just with her current status alone, she was not someone that could be easily provoked. He actually dared to make a move against her ...
Mind!
"I will settle this matter as soon as possible. I hope that Lady Mu will be at ease."
Mu Yunyao nodded."Since the two seniors are busy with personnel, I won't disturb you any longer. I'll take my leave now."
Li Yuan could not help but want to say something, but was held down by Li Mu Nian on the shoulder. He said with a gloomy expression, "Cousin, Mu Yunyao has been praised by the Emperor many times, and now she has become the adopted daughter of Cao Yi Nian and Lady Jin. She has the Neon Cloud Workshop and the Not Envy Restaurant behind her, so her influence cannot be compared to most direct descendants of the family in the capital.
Furthermore, judging from her clever nature, she is definitely not that kind of person who would easily suffer a loss.
Li Yuan frowned."Nephew, your words are wrong. No matter what, I am the First Prince's uncle and can be considered as a relative of the Emperor. If Miss Mu has the heart, it would not be an insult to her."
"Cousin, being my father at your age is more than enough!"
Hearing this, Li Yuan's face darkened, "Nephew's words are too harsh."
"What I said was the truth. Cousin Uncle, don't forget, your objective in checking out the salt regime this time, if you delay matters, don't blame father for personally coming to interrogate you!" It's getting late. We should go." After Li Munian finished speaking, he walked out. Li Yuan followed him out of the building and found an excuse to leave the yamen. After strolling around the yamen for a while, he turned around and returned.
