n“What did you say? What is gone?”

n“Eyebrow!”

nColour Moon Shop’s shopkeeper quickly raised his hand up to touch it . He felt the smooth surface of his skin, where his eyebrow should have been . He suddenly remembered that cool feeling on his forehead back at the Su residence . He had thought that the sword had simply been swept past by him . He never would have imagined that that young man with the sword would shave off his entire eyebrow for him!

n“That little wretch, our matters are irreconcilable now!” Colour Moon Shop’s shopkeeper raised his sleeve to cover his face and ran in the direction of Colour Moon Shop .

nAfter confirming her plan, Mu Yunyao started to prepare for it . Although Colour Moon Shop’s shopkeeper’s words were unpleasant to the ear, he was right . However, her plan was not to recruit more people and expand her business . At the time being, ten disciples were more than enough; what she had to do now was to increase the price of her clothing .

nOther people’s clothes may sell for a hundred silvers, but hers sell for a thousand, covering up for her lack of manpower . Additionally, things that are hard to get would seem exclusive and of much better quality .

nAt the Cao residence, when Mu Yunyao was just brought in by Yin Hong, she saw the ruddy face of Lady Cao, who glanced at Mu Yunyao with a happy expression . Before Mu Yunyao could do her greetings, she called out to her servants, “Can’t you see that my special guest has arrived? Go and serve up the tea and snacks at once!”

n(T

/N: Lady Cao is the same as Lady Jin . ‘Jin’ is her own family name, while ‘Cao’ is her husband’s family name . Just a little reminder . )

n“Lady does not have to do this for me, “ Mu Yunyao did her greetings properly, and then went to sit at a round stool at the side . “People say that when good fortune arrives to one, one will have good mental health . Seeing Lady’s good mood, there must have been a lot of good fortune around here . ”

n“Actually, it was all thanks to you . It was about that time when those butterflies had surrounded me when we were all well-wishing the Emperor at the banquet . The Emperor had heard of it and he specially gave a reward . ”

n“Lady had already said it herself, it was you who had been very sincere in your well wishes, so it has nothing to do with me . Besides, it has already spread through Jingling City that you’re not the only person being rewarded by the Emperor . After a month, when all the required paperwork has been settled, we should all call Prefect Cao as Cao Yan Yun Shi . ”

n(T

/N: Okay I’m so sorry, I can’t really translate that ‘Yan Yun Shi’ thing into english . It’s like the name of the position of the official . How this official system thing works is that the higher up you are, the smaller the number of your rank . So like if you’re rank 1, it’s pretty much the highest you can go . And there’s also two levels in each rank . Something like ‘beginner rank 9, expert rank 9 . Except that it is ‘Zong rank 9, Zheng rank 9 . But to avoid confusion, if this official thing is mentioned again, I’ll just use lower and higher . After that, you promote to rank 8 . The higher your position, the higher your status in society and your say in front of the Emperor himself . )

nAlthough the extent of his territory did not increase, ‘Prefect’ is a higher rank 5, while ‘Yan Yun Shi’ is lower rank 4 . It may seem like it is only one tiny step, but there are so many who have been stuck here .

nLady Jin’s smile was becoming increasingly blinding, who knew that her own love for beautiful things would allow her to become well-acquainted with Mu Yunyao, her lucky star . A single clothing from her was able to smoothen out Prefect Cao’s path by a hundred times!

n“These few days, the people who have been asking you to make clothes for them must have flattened your front yard?”

nHearing this, Mu Yunyao put up a troubled face, “Lady is right . After the Emperor praised Lady, there were people who wanted me to make clothes for them no matter what . At first I was elated, but after that, I started to tire out . Look, I even came here to secretly take a break . ”

n“Other people want silver badly but are unable to earn it, now silver is coming up at your door and you refuse to accept it, what a silly girl!” Lady Jin was being even more familiar with Mu Yunyao than before . There were even hints of her acting as an elder and taking care of her . Speaking of which, Lady Jin was a little older than Su Qing, yet she had no children .

n“Seeing so much silver is something that I really like, that’s why I wanted to talk to you about business . ” Mu Yunyao looked a tad embarrassed .

nLady Jin accepted it with lightning speed, “If it is within my power, I will definitely help you some . ”

n“It isn’t especially troublesome, it has got something to do with the ten female disciples you lent me……”

nBefore she could finish speaking, Lady Jin turned around to look at Yin Hong, “Speaking of which, I also wanted to talk to you about something related to those ten girls . ”
