Chapter 149

A Weird Honest Intelligent Man

Seeing that Mu Yunyao didn't take any offense, Liu Liang's whole body relaxed,

"Yes, Mistress . Don't you punish Qi Ming?

"

"Why should we punish him? I wish I could have a few more of these people .

" Mu Yunyao's face is full of smiles .

"Jin Lan, in a while, go and wrap up five hundred taels of silver in a red envelope and have Liu Liang to send over to Qi Ming .

" If there is a penalty for wrongdoing, then there will be a reward for meritorious service . It shouldn't make people feel disheartened .

"Yes, Miss .

"

After Liu Liang left, Mu Yunyao busied herself with the embroidery, asking Jin Lan to count the silver notes .

"Young Miss, a total of 21,200 taels of silver .

"

Mu Yunyao nodded,

"Take it and send it over to Mother . If she asks about the origin of the silver notes, tell her that it's Shopkeeper Qin's profits from Bu Xian Luo .

"

"Yes, Miss .

"

When Jin Lan left, Mu Yunyao chuckled . Just the difference in price was more than 20,000 taels of silver . It seemed that this time, Steward Qin had prepared quite a lot of ginger tea .

On this day, Mu Yunyao had just gotten up when she felt the weather become mainly cold . When Jin Lan walked in, her expression was excited .

"Miss, it's snowing outside . Although it's only a thin layer, it's still particularly pretty .

"

Mu Yunyao couldn't help but be stunned .

"If you count it all up, then today is exactly little snow, but it should be the solar terms .

"

"Yes, this servant met Si Qin just now . I heard that Madam was preparing to wrap the powdered dumplings . She said that only by eating the powdered dumplings would the person not freeze to death . The servants and maids will have a good taste this time .

" Madam had never treated servants like outsiders . Every time she prepared anything delicious, she would ask someone to save some for them . They particularly moved in their hearts .

A warm smile appeared on Mu Yunyao's face .

"Coincidentally, I haven't eaten powdered dumplings in a long time . I'm so hungry . In a while, go tell mother that I want to eat lotus root and fresh meat .

" As far as Mother was concerned, she was not afraid of the trouble of the food I wanted to eat . But she was scared that if she cooked, I wouldn't like to eat it . So, I asked for it without hesitation .

"Yes, Miss .

"

Mu Yunyao's mood was great . Even her embroidery speed had increased by a lot .

At this time, in the Jin Xiu Garden next door, the guests that came to taste the tea were also amazed . Initially, the scenery in Jin Xiu Garden was already beautiful enough, but now, every place that used to serve tea for guests had drapes or screens set up .

According to the different scenes, the patterns on the curtains and screens were totally different . They echoed with the scenery everywhere and were both exquisite and flawless . At this time, it just so happened that the snow was drifting about, adding a sense of elegance, causing one to be intoxicated in it and lose themselves in it .

Once the news spread, it attracted many people to come to Jin Xiu Garden to enjoy the scenery . The scenery here in winter was desolate, and many people initially did not have many places to go . Now, with the beautiful Jin Xiu Garden and the plaque gifted by the Emperor, it became the first choice for many people to amuse themselves . Steward Qin counted the silver in his hand as his admiration for Mu Yunyao in his heart increase . Previously, he was worried that the number of guests Bu Xian Luo would decrease during the winter, but now it seemed that the number of guests increased instead . It is even more prosperous than in summer . Coupled with the reputation of helping to buy food before, it has saved him a lot .

The silver immediately made him make up his mind . He would wrap a big red envelope and send it over to Miss Mu for the New Year .

Mu Yunyao took the time to see Qi Ming . That person was tall and firm, with a simple and honest smile on his face . After saluting, he had a bashful smile on his face .

"No need to be so polite, please take a seat .

" Mu Yunyao sized up Qi Ming . The smile on his face was genuine, and even his eyes revealed a sense of honesty . It was impossible to tell if he was faking it or not . This kind of person would either take acting to the bone, or was truly simple and honest .

"Thank you, Miss .

" Qi Ming sat awkwardly on his chairs . The tall man sat only half of the chair, making him look slightly comical .

"I'm a bit curious, why would you be so interested in buying more food to save it?

" Hearing the question, Qi Ming hurriedly stood up .

"Miss, I heard that you bought some food and sent it to Western Guangdong, so I thought you might send another batch . If the price of food increases after some time, you will have to spend a lot of silver taels to buy the food more . If Miss Mu buy the food now, it can save up silver and time . Even if Miss Mu doesn't want the food in the end, you can store some of it and sell it when the price rises .

"

"Your consideration is quite thoughtful .

" No wonder during that time, Liu Liang had asked for several taels of silver, and he wanted to do this thing . Mu Yunyao carefully looked at Qi Ming and not a single flaw in his expression or words, and he looked was totally out of it . Other people can feel the sincerity and feel as if their hearts pressed,

"What are your plans for the future?

"

Qi Ming quickly nodded:

"I will follow you, Young Miss, to do whatever you want me to do .

" Mu Yunyao couldn't help but smile . After thinking carefully for a moment, she said,

"I had an idea earlier, but I lack people to do business, so I haven't really carried it out . Now that I have you, I want to open a treasure shop, Yi Bao Xuan, that specializes in selling jewelry and rouge powder, can you do it?

"Young Miss told me to be the shopkeeper, so I went to be the shopkeeper .

" Qing Ming nodded swiftly without any hesitation .

"Then have you thought about what to do in order to create the reputation of Yi Bao Xuan so that it can become a golden signboard like Ni Yun Fang?

"

After frowning for a moment, Qing Ming stretched out his hand and scratched his head,

"This servant has an idea, but I think it's a little outrageous .

"

"Tell me about it .

" The smile on Mu Yunyao's face deepened . He already had an idea in such a short amount of time?

"Ni Yun Fang, built by the Young Miss, is already very famous . If you want Yi Bao Xuan to be like Ni Yun Fang, then you have no choice but to climb up Ni Yun Fang .

" Qi Ming carefully looked at Mu Yunyao's expression . Seeing that she wasn't angry, he heaved a heavy sigh of relief .

Mu Yunyao's smile grew wider and wider .

"Tell me in detail, how do Yi Bao Xuan climb up Ni Yun Fang?

"

"This servant heard in private that so many people envious of Ni Yun Fang, the reason was because of Ni Yun Fang had a signature gift bestowed by the Emperor, and didn't dare to stand out in public . If Yi Bao Xuan dared to step forward, it would definitely get the secret support of many people . In this way, it will unwittingly be much smoother . In the future, when Ni Yun Fang spreads throughout the entire Dali Dynasty, Yi Bao Xuan will also bloom all over the places .

"

Mu Yunyao laughed, her eyes bright and colorful,

"Alright, since that's the case, then go and do it . You can directly report how many silver taels you need, and I will let Liu Liang give it to you .

" Unexpectedly, the idea of Qi Ming coincides with her . She initially wanted to wait for Ni Yun Fang to open a few more stores before she preoccupied to open Yi Bao Xuan .

Now that she had his help, there was no need to wait any longer . With this, she would be even closer to her goal . This guy came at the perfect time!

Qi Ming nodded,

"Yes, Miss .
