Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife Chapter 137

Chapter 137

Cai Yue Pavilion’s Owner Had Arrived

Mu Yunyao didn’t think that his reaction would be so huge . “Actually, it’s just some ordinary seasonings, but it’ll take some effort to stir-fry it, and it won’t be much more expensive than the rice grains . In fact, many merchants go to various places to do business in the winter and carry some ginger tea with them, is it possible that Steward Qin hasn’t heard of it?” Steward Qin was surprised for a moment, and then shook his head with a wry smile: “I am sorry . I accompanied w.a.n.g Ye out of the Palace, but I was not able to come in contact with these things inside the Palace before . But later on, I arrived in Western Guangdong, where the resources were scarce, and the population was spa.r.s.e . In the winter, I often have to go hungry, even w.a.n.g Ye . He also needed to save a lot of charcoal . In the surrounding cities, the price of rice is too high . The monthly military payment that the Imperial Court pays is not even worth a single liter of rice . Furthermore, the Imperial Court is deducting the military payment as well …”

Mu Yunyao’s heart became even more astonished as she listened to Steward Qin’s narration . She had only met Yue w.a.n.g twice . The first time was when she tumbled down the carriage and fell at his feet . At that time, she only felt that the person in front of her was as cold as water, and the blade-like brows and eyes were full of coldness . When she took a look at him, she felt her entire body covered with a piercing chill . With just a single glance, it seemed as if her mind had torn apart . The second time was when she sent to Yue w.a.n.g’s residence by Jin w.a.n.g . In the room, she only sneaked a glimpse, and she fainted .

Most of the memories regarding Yue w.a.n.g were from the complaints he had heard from Jin w.a.n.g . At that time, Yue w.a.n.g was already in charge of defending the Imperial Army guarding the Palace, and his status was quite impressive . She never thought that he would suffer so much in Western Guangdong . For a prince who was the direct descendant of the Empress to be worried about his livelihood, many people would probably take it as a joke .

Steward Qin gave a heavy sigh, “At the age of twelve, w.a.n.g Ye arrived in Western Guangdong . When he went there, he became seriously ill and almost couldn’t cured . Later on, w.a.n.g Ye did his best to develop, but his conditions were limited . Now that winter had arrived, there would often be people starving to death . We wait for these people to support w.a.n.g Ye, but they are useless, so we can’t help but do something for Him . Fortunately, we have Miss Mu . If this ginger tea can transported to Western Guangdong, it would be great of help . ”

It was no wonder that Steward Qin would rush to pa.s.s the silver taels over to Yue w.a.n.g . He really did lack money . Furthermore, from the looks of it, she was afraid that everything was lacking .

“Since that’s the case, then I will arrange it as soon as possible . I will fry a batch of ginger tea and send it to w.a.n.g Ye . ”

“Alright . . . many thanks, Miss Mu . If there anything I can help you with, please feel free to tell me . I will first return to Jin Xiu Garden and write a letter to inform w.a.n.g Ye about the good news . ”

“Yes . ”

When Steward Qin left, he couldn’t bear to part with the ginger tea in his hand, so he carried the bowl away with him .

Mu Yunyao looked at his back and couldn’t help but smile . She believed that the conditions in Western Guangdong weren’t well, but it definitely wasn’t as miserable as Steward Qin had said . After all, if there weren’t even any stuttering, how could they have the ability to nurture their own forces? However, all of these had nothing to do with her . She just wanted to borrow ginger tea’s strength to make Yue w.a.n.g owe her a favor, and when he becomes prosperous in the future, it is better to be able to take advantage of his power to make things more convenient for her .

Mu Yunyao thought carefully for a moment before calling Liu Liang in .

“Mistress . ”

“Liu Liang, do you have people who are good at doing business?”

Whether it was Liu Liang, Shopkeeper Qian, Ding Yuelan, or the others, there were too many people in Jingling City who knew of them . Because they need to buy a lot of food, it is so intriguing for some people .

“Yes, I have . Qi Ming is both famous and good at business . ”

“Alright . ” Mu Yunyao nodded and pa.s.sed over the paper in her hand . “Here’s what I need . Bring Qi Ming to take a look . See how much the price is and report it to me . ”

“Yes, Mistress . ”

On the other side, Steward Qin was carrying a bowl of ginger tea back to Jin Xiu Garden . The smile on his face couldn’t concealed, causing Yu Yi to be extremely curious: “Steward Qin, what’s on your side? It smells pretty good . ”

Steward Qin quickly dodged, “This is a treasure . Go and entertain the guests quickly . Don’t ask what you shouldn’t ask . I remember that we have a lot of jewelry here, right?”

“There are quite a few of them . However, those items left behind by that person . Although Master did not mention them, it is best that we do not use them carelessly …”

“Pick a set that you can’t identify and send it over to Miss Mu . ”

Yu Yi was shocked: “Steward Qin, shouldn’t we discuss this with Master?”

“I told you to give it, so give it . If Master asks, I will say that I gave it, and it won’t affect you . Hmph . ” With that, Steward Qin left with the ginger tea .

After arriving at the study room, he slowly drank the ginger tea . Feeling the warmth and satiety in his stomach, Steward Qin could not help but sigh . If he had met Miss Mu earlier, Master would not have had to work so hard . However, it was not too late for fate to have a chance to drink and peck at everything . The luck of their Master had finally arrived!

After finishing the two letters, Steward Qin handed them over to Yu Yi: “Deliver them to Master personally . It’s so important and delivers it to Master in person . ”

Yu Yi’s expression turned cold, and he hurriedly nodded . “Yes . ”

After Mu Yunyao gave Liu Liang instructions, she watched the progress of Ni Yun Fang with a peace of mind . Now that there were a few more stores given by the Governor’s wife and the scale of Ni Yun Fang even higher than before, she didn’t intend to rebuild the shops below . She only needs carefully renovate them, and it can be used temporarily as a storefront in Ni Yun Fang .

The Beauty Booklet had completed . Mu Yunyao carefully checks if there were any problems before sending one to each of the residences as per usual .

Now, her ident.i.ty is different from before . As soon as the booklet sent out, she received a lot of letters about custom-made clothes . It can say that as soon as she opened her mouth, she would immediately receive nearly 40,000 taels of silvers as payment . It just so happened that she planned to bribe Yue w.a.n.g, as this silver was just right for her .

The newly released Ni Yun Beauty Booklet sought after by many people in Jingling City . On the other side, Tan Lin, the owner of Cai Yue Pavilion, came to Jingling City in a hurry . He had requested to see County Magistrate Zhao several times with numerous gifts, but he chased out from Government Offices . It was attracting many people to rush over to watch the show .

Mu Yunyao was in the middle of instructing the female embroiderer to adjust her clothes when Jin Lan walked in quickly with a piece of paper in her hand . “Miss, the owner of Cai Yue Pavilion, Lord Tan, has sent a letter . He wishes to meet you . ”

Mu Yunyao took the invitation and skimmed through it before throwing it to the side, “When you go back, just say that I’m the only one living at home with my mother . It’s really inconvenient to move around . Also, it’s really inappropriate to receive Lord Tan . ”

“Yes, Miss . ”

Not long after Jin Lan left, she came back with another post, “Miss, Lord Tan’s people said they want to invite you to have some tea at Bu Xian Luo…”

Mu Yunyao took the letter and opened it . She sees the silver notes inside it . After counting slightly, she said . “Such a large sum of money . . . However, there’s no reason for me to reject the money delivered to my doorstep . Go back and tell them that he came from afar as a guest . It’s already noon, so I’ll ask Lord Tan to come to visit me tomorrow . ”

“Miss, could it be that you intend to let Tan Baw.a.n.g off?” Jin Lan couldn’t stop herself from asking .

“I’m merely a business person, not an official . It doesn’t count even if I say so . As for the details of the verdict, it depends on County Magistrate Zhao . When I see Lord Tan, of course, I want to discuss business . ”
