Chapter 124

A Gift from The Governor’s Wife

Steward Qin hesitated for a moment before he nodded his head slightly: “Miss Mu is so clever, Fourth Master is indeed Yue Wang . ”

Mu Yunyao revealed an ‘as expected’ expression and pulled out the dagger that Yue Wang had left for her . “After obtaining this dagger, I’ve looked at it carefully and discovered an indistinct pattern at the edge of the dagger . Ordinary people wouldn’t find it much, but I know that this is the Chinese character of Yue . ”

Steward Qin was surprised for a moment . He couldn’t help but take the dagger from Mu Yunyao’s hand and carefully observe it . Indeed, Yue Wang carves the dagger patterns himself . Yue Wang was so fond of this pattern and had left it on many things before . So he had naturally seen it before . It was a unique style, but he couldn’t find any meaning behind it . How could Mu Yunyao be able to see the Chinese character ‘Yue’ from it?

“Miss Mu, I’ve taken a closer look, but I can’t see anything . ”

Mu Yunyao withdrew the dagger . “If it easily discernible, Wang Ye wouldn’t have engraved this pattern on the dagger . ” If he dared to show it, it is natural to make sure that ordinary people can’t see it .

Steward Qin did not continue to investigate, “Since Miss Mu have already guessed the identity of Wang Ye, what are your plans?”

“What plans can I have? Wang Ye is a distinguished person, and I am just a commoner . So naturally, I have to think of ways to curry favor and pleased Wang Ye . ”

Listening to her words, Steward Qin felt increasingly uncertain . If it were anyone else, they might have taken a liking to Wang Ye’s identity . But if it was Mu Yunyao, she might not have assumed Wang Ye’s identity seriously . Looked at the Ding family, Jingling Tongzhi, and Xuan Fu, which were things that ordinary people could not afford to offend . However, she was not afraid at all and directly pulled them down .

Mu Yunyao was in a good mood and didn’t continue to make things difficult for Steward Qin . “Right, tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival . Steward Qin doesn’t have any relatives in Jingling City . Wei Yi, Yun Chun, and others also don’t have anyone to rely on either . So My mother asks to have a meal together and have fun . ”

“Yes, I will do as Miss Mu wishes . ” Steward Qin naturally wouldn’t refuse . Currently, Mu Yunyao already knew the identity of Wang Ye, and following that, along with the development of Bu Xian Luo, her relationship with Wang Ye had become more and more intimate . He would get on good terms with Madam Su sooner, and the benefits would be great . He knows that Mu Yunyao cared deeply about her mother .

“Then, Steward Qin, please take care . I still need to go back and help Mother make some mooncakes . ”

“Greetings to Miss Mu . ”

Once Mu Yunyao left, Steward Qin began to write a letter in a flustered manner . He secretly thought that he had to think of a way to speed up mail delivery . Otherwise, it would take a month, and everything would be overdue .

For example, this time, Wang Ye had sent an order for him to think of a way to protect Ni Yun Fang . But before he could take any action, Mu Yunyao had already brought two golden signboards for Ni Yun Fang and Bu Xian Luo . Alas, with such a comparison, it seemed like he was useless!

In the morning the next day, Mu Yunyao got up early to pack her things and wait . Not long after, Governor Zhang sent someone over to invite her .

When she arrived at the residence of Governor Zhang, there were immediately people who welcomed her and brought her to the front of the Governor’s wife .

“Greetings, Madam . ”

“Get up quickly, don’t stand on ceremony . I’ve heard that Ni Yun Fang had rebuilt recently, but in the past, Ni Yun Fang used to be just an ordinary shop . Now that we have a name personally bestowed by the Emperor, it’s naturally impossible to talk about it in the same breath . The scale of the market has become slightly larger . It happened that the shops around Ni Yun Fang were under my name . I thought of giving those shops to you . ”

Mu Yunyao hurriedly shook her head, “Madam, this is too precious . I absolutely do not dare to accept it . ”

“There is nothing precious or expensive, and there are not many incomes in the weekdays . The clothes you made for me helped me out of this big trouble, so I should have sent you a big gift a long time ago . Thank you for that . But now that Ni Yun Fang had rebuilt, I will give those few shops to you as a congratulatory gift . It’s good that you are willing to push them down and rebuild them . It’s also nice to sell some clothes inside . It’s all up to you .

“Madam, absolutely cannot allow it . ” A trace of panic and helplessness appeared on Mu Yunyao’s face . “To be able to help Madam, I’m already so happy in my heart . I’m not doing this for your thanks and presents . ”

The Governor’s wife sighed, and the smile on her face remained the same . “Your personality is just as Lady Jin said . I’ll be frank then . The embroidery needle technique that you spread was a terrific achievement for educating ordinary people . Both Governor Zhang and I also basked in the glory . These things are you deserve it, and if you accepted it, we feel safe . ” It coincided with the outside announcement that Lady Jin was coming, and the Governor’s wife did not mean to avoid it . She directly invited her to come in .

“You came at the right time, hurry up and help me take a look at this stubborn girl . ” the Governor’s wife looked at Lady Jin with a face full of smiles . Lady Jin’s eyes swept across the land and house contract on the table . She immediately understood in her heart, “Yunyao’s temperament has always been like this . Although Madam thinks it’s nothing, she can still be uneasy for a long time . Yunyao, since it’s a congratulatory gift from the Governor’s wife, you should accept it . If you really feel anxious, then you can make more clothes for her . “

Mu Yunyao still felt uneasy in her heart . “How can I compared the clothes I make with these shops?”

“The clothes you made are also very precious . A piece of clothing costs more than a thousand taels of silver . If you were to make it for two years, who knows if the Governor’s wife might benefit from your efforts?”

The Governor’s wife laughed at her words and nodded, “That’s right . If you were to make me clothed for more two years, wouldn’t that be me getting the glory?”

Mu Yunyao couldn’t help but laugh . She knew it wasn’t appropriate to refuse, so she nodded heavily . “I’ll take care of Madam’s clothes in the future . I guarantee that you’ll wear beautiful clothes all year round . ”

“That’s great . I’ll be waiting . ” Seeing Mu Yunyao put away the land and house contract, the smile on the Governor’s wife’s face became even more genuine . “Seeing that it’s already the time, let’s go to the front courtyard . I’m sure Yunyao can’t wait to get the two calligraphy back . ”

Mu Yunyao smiled a little embarrassedly . “To tell you the truth, like Madam said, ever since I received the news, I have been looking forward to it . I haven’t slept last night and have been waiting for today . ”

“Hehe, this silly girl . In the future, you can sleep while watching the Emperor’s calligraphy every day . ”

Mu Yunyao’s face instantly flushed red, causing the Governor’s wife and Lady Jin to laugh for a while .

Similar to the last time when she received the Emperor’s reward . After setting up the incense table, everyone bowed down and expressed their gratitude . Then, Su Qingwu handed the two treasures over to Mu Yunyao .

“This humble one thanks Your Majesty for His grace . ” Mu Yunyao stood up and handed two treasures over to the bodyguards assigned by Governor Zhang to escort . She bowed to Su Qingwu, “Thank you, Lord Su . ”

Su Qingwu faintly nodded his head, but his expression was much colder than before . “Miss Mu, Eunuch Xu told me to send you a message saying that the tea leaves you sent had delivered to the Emperor . ”

Mu Yunyao was unable to contain her joy, “I really didn’t expect that I would actually have such good fortune …”

“I’ve already said the word, and the Emperor’s treasures have already handed over . Lord Zhang and Lord Cao, I will be rushing back to the Capital to report this . ”

Governor Zhang was a little surprised: “Lord Su, today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, if you were to rest at my place for a day, it would not be too late to return to the Capital . ”

“Many thanks for your hospitality, Lord Zhang . After returning to the Capital, I still have many matters to attend . I can’t delay any longer, so I’ll be taking my leave . ”
