Mu Yunyao looked at the account book that Shopkeeper Qin had brought. Just as she was about to refuse, she saw Su Qing walk in.
I heard that Shopkeeper Qin had come over, so I came to take a look. Coincidentally, the house had made some new refreshments, which Yao'er found to be very tasty.
Manager Qin smiled and bowed to Su Qing, "Thank you Madam."
Steward Qin did not stand on ceremony and directly received it with both hands."I will have my subordinates carefully study it when we get back. If they can use it, they will need to thank Madam properly."
"There is no need for Supervisor Qin to be so polite." Su Qing looked at Mu Yunyao, "Yao`er, you have to do your best in matters of the Unenviable Pavilion. Don't be so lazy."
Mu Yunyao glanced at Supervisor Qin, who had earnest eyes, and could only nod in agreement."I understand mother, I will carefully look through the account books and think over the countermeasures. After I've thought it over, I will write down the method to solve the problem and have someone send it to the brocade garden."
"Alright, then I'll be troubling Lady Mu." Steward Qin was unable to contain his joy. He hurriedly stood up and bowed."In that case, I won't disturb the madam and the young lady anymore. Goodbye."
Mu Yunyao blinked in surprise. Before she could say anything, Su Qing had already left. Su Qing wanted to ask more about the Titan King, but she didn't know how to answer his question. She didn't expect that Steward Qin would bring up the topic himself, "Thank you Madam for preparing the pastries and meals for our Young Master. Young Master has always been accompanied by Yu Heng, but unfortunately for him, that fellow has been thinking too much.
It's as thick as hemp, it's extremely inconsiderate when it comes to taking care of people."
When Su Qing heard this, she was slightly surprised, "It is only inconvenient when you are away. It will be fine if you have a maid to take care of Young Master Ning when you return home." Manager Qin shook his head with a smile."Madam, you can tell that our family's young master has a cold personality and does not like to get close to outsiders. Normally, he would only do his own chores himself, and Yu Heng who is by his side would only listen to orders and run errands for him. His young master is now 21 and doesn't even have a maid by his side. Those who don't know what his young master's hidden ailment is might be, but it is our young master who is simple-minded and only wants to find a girl to spend the rest of his life with.
"I am afraid that I will be lonely and grow old." "It's rare for Young Master Ning to have such thoughts." When they returned to the Su Clan, they would also have no one to rely on. In the future, Yao'er's marriage might not be restricted by the Su Clan. If Young Master Ning could become a good match, even if he was a bit older, as long as he was nice to Yao'er, he would have nothing to show for it ...
"So called." It was easy for people to misunderstand him. At home, the old master did not like his depressing temperament, and of the young masters, he was the one that was the least valued. However, when he heard that something had happened at home, even if he was sick, he still had to hurry back.
"Our young master is actually the most filial, sigh..."
When Su Qing thought of the pale countenance of the Titan when he left, she couldn't help but worry a little more."Young Master Ning is truly filial ..."
Steward Qin's eyes lit up as he hurriedly lowered his head, but he was too slow. He said something that could only be guessed at: "That's right, it has been such a long time, which is this year's new year. Young Master has revealed a slight smile and even said that he very much likes Madam's steamed buns."
After chatting with Supervisor Qin for a while, Su Qing's impression of the 'King' rose a few steps."Please take care, Supervisor Qin." She wondered if she would be able to meet Young Master Ning in the capital when she and Yao'er returned to the Su Clan.
"Mistress, please wait."
When he returned to the Garden of Embroidery, Steward Qin looked somewhat worried, "I don't know why Lady Mu and Prince are at odds. I just hope that my hard work has not been in vain."
Very quickly, Mu Yunyao didn't have the mood to think about King Yue's matters. In the following period of time, news about Yan Zheng spread like wildfire.
Although Li Yuan was unwilling to admit it, the salt merchants' evidence against Li Yuan was very conclusive. Although Li Yuan was unwilling to admit it, the Emperor did not listen to his quibbling. A messenger was sent to Yangzhou City, and without much effort, the whole situation was investigated. The Wu, Wei, and Cao family salt merchant families, as well as the salt merchant families that had participated in the salt forgery case, were all plundered. It was said that the amount of silver taels that had been plundered was in the millions.
The imperial court was shaken up and down.
Everyone knew that the salt merchant was rich, but they didn't know that the salt merchant had already reached a state where their wealth was comparable to that of a nation!
The other salt merchants were also unable to escape. They were all imprisoned and interrogated. Under all sorts of interrogation techniques, not only did they find out about their salt tax loss, they even colluded with officials to sell salt.
Mu Yunyao had arranged for Zhou Quan in advance. Although there were also people with similar reputations, Wang Lu had arranged for them to have the same identity in advance. In the end, they had provided a lot of cover and didn't let them be investigated.
Although the Lee family would suffer a huge blow from this incident, cutting off some of their branches and leaves wouldn't affect their foundations. The officials who came to investigate the case weren't willing to so easily raise their eyebrows because of someone they didn't know about.
This matter had been announced for over a month before it gradually subsided. The aftermath of this event was still brewing non-stop in Jiangnan.
Once Li Yuan saved his life, he was sentenced to execution. Whether he can come back alive will depend on his luck. The First Prince and the Li family had restrained themselves, and were no longer as arrogant as they were before. Mu Yunyao didn't have time to carefully ponder over the feelings she'd had after Yue Yang left, so she threw herself into a new round of work. Previously, she had already sent a letter to the capital, asking Lady Jin to investigate the court's attitude towards the neon cloud bazaar. But now, she had sent a reply. The few people on the list were acting as if they were talking to Ni Yun ...
With the emperor's praises of the Nebula Market and the reputation she had left behind, Mu Yunyao was finally able to reap the rewards. She could greatly develop the Nebula Market! Mu Yunyao had a lot of silver taels in her possession, and just a portion of it was enough to cover the entire scene at the Nebula Market. Previously, embroidery techniques had spread far and wide. Now, it was easy to recruit embroidery ladies, but they could also be of high quality among the best. The shops were all available, and as long as they spent some time and meticulously decorating, they would be able to ...
The next two months seemed to pass in the blink of an eye. The neon cloud bazaar was centered around the Tomb City. It was located in Yangzhou City, Suzhou City, Huai An City, and Riverside City ... They all opened up shop.
