Chapter 106
Mu Yunyao pretended to be surprised as she looked at him, "I wonder where Sir Su saw my embroidery before?"
Since she had arrived at the Mausoleum of Books, she had only made clothes for the various madams. Su Qingwu had been dragged to the banquet by Chief Patrol Officer Zhang yesterday, and the only people that she had seen were Madam Patrol Officer and Madam Jin, so where had Su Qingwu seen her embroidery before and knew that her embroidery skills were extraordinary?
Su Qingwu paused for a moment as a bitter smile appeared on his face. "But how did I offend Lady Mu to make you look at me with such hostility?"
Mu Yunyao smiled. You've offended me in many ways, but on the surface, you pretended to be confused. "What is Sir Su saying? I'm just curious, but did you ask me something that I shouldn't have?"
"Just that the girl seems to have a grudge against me."
"How could that be? Lord Su is young and promising, but right after entering the city yesterday, his outstanding charm had already spread throughout the entire Ziling City. Right now, I wonder how many people are envious of you, did you not realize that on the way here, countless girls have blushed?"
Su Qingwu had even forced Su Qingwu to withdraw from the marriage alliance of the University and the University. Otherwise, at his age, he would have already married a long time ago.
"What about Miss Mu?" As soon as the words left his mouth, Su Qingwu immediately pursed his lips. This question was extremely rude, but just now, he had blurted it out without even being able to react.
Mu Yunyao's smile was still the same: "I am naturally envious of Sir Su's achievements at such a young age. Only I am a girl and have no way of entering the imperial court, otherwise I would have to learn from Sir Su."
"Miss Mu is spreading the embroidery array to bring good fortune to the citizens. Her work is much better than many officials." Su Qingwu heaved a sigh of relief, but a trace of discomfort flashed within his heart. Lord Su thinks too highly of me. I have my own selfish motives for spreading the embroidery needles. " Mu Yunyao looked around. There wasn't anyone by the river, so she continued, "For the sake of silver taels, I've spread the embroidery methods to just a few women. If there's too many people, it'll be fine.
To choose the best, to make more clothes, and to make money for me. "
Su Qingwu let out a soft laugh. "Lady Mu really has a funny personality." I'm telling the truth, like a lot of officials. Are they after the good of the people? In all likelihood, even if there were benefits for the common people, it was mostly for the political achievements at hand. In order to gain more power, they had to pay the silver in the end. However, they did not do so.
Just admit it. Why else would there be three years of Prefect Qing and a hundred thousand taels of snow silver? "A reputation is a reputation. Silver coins are cheap. With a reputation, there will be benefits. Only then will one be able to achieve perfection."
The smile on Su Qingwu's face faded as her fingers gently twirled and her lips curved upwards.
Mu Yunyao knew that he was angry, and the curve of her lips slightly deepened. Seeing that he wasn't happy, she felt happy.
"Your Majesty is wise, wise, and wise. There are countless good officials in the court …"
However, in order to anger Su Qingwu, she would not admit it. She immediately changed the topic: "After walking for so long, Sir Su must be hungry, so let's go to the restaurant to rest. How about we have a taste of the Mausoleum of Books's delicious food?"
Su Qingwu's words were interrupted as his handsome forehead twitched. Looking at Mu Yunyao's smiling face, she lightly nodded her head, "That's good too." Mu Yunyao brought Su Qingwu into the restaurant's private room, pushed open the window and looked at the nearby Mausoleum and River, "Sir Su, I said that I was partial to everything, but did not know the suffering of the powerless. I taught the embroidery craftsmanship to the Emperor, and yet I still had to be bullied and humiliated, not to mention other tens of thousands of people.
An ordinary commoner. "
Su Qingwu held her teacup and a light flashed in her phoenix eyes. "I wonder what Miss Mu has met with, and if this Su might be able to help?" She had said so much along the way, all for this moment?
Mu Yunyao smiled lightly: "I don't dare trouble Sir Su, I will think of a way to solve it myself. Since I've said it, today I'll bring Sir Su to experience the local customs and customs of the Tomb City. Let's not talk about these troublesome matters."
After eating, Mu Yunyao led Su Qingwu around half of Ziling City, taking a look at the most beautiful places. As Su Qingwu continued to admire the scenery of the Tomb City, his thoughts rested on Mu Yunyao. After listening to her introductions, he could tell that she was extremely well-trained and had extraordinary experience. She did not seem like a woman that could be raised by normal people.
They were all extremely comfortable, and did not look like the thorns in their words from before.
"Sir Su, it's getting late. It's time for me to return. If you're not able to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Ziling City, how about tomorrow?"
"Alright, I will get someone to send Lady Mu home."
"No need. With a maid accompanying me and the fact that this place is not far from the Nebula Market, I'll just go back. Goodbye." After she finished speaking, Mu Yunyao directly turned around and left.
Su Qingwu's eyebrows slightly moved. This time when they met, he had originally wanted to test Mu Yunyao, but who would have thought that before anyone could test her, his thoughts had already been thrown into chaos.
On his way back, he passed the embroidery stand on the street corner and saw the handkerchief embroidered with orchids. He walked over to inspect the cloth used for the handkerchief.
"Does young master like it? "Only eight cents."
Su Qingwu nodded, and one of her followers hurriedly took out a copper coin and handed it over. The stall owner's smile became more and more brilliant as the aura of this wealthy young master in front of him was extraordinary. As he had just followed Miss Mu from the Nebula Market, he naturally remembered it vividly, "Lady Mu is beautiful and her personality is first-class. There is actually no one in the Mausoleum City who is not praising her and does not know who will be lucky enough to marry her in the future.
A woman as a wife. "
Su Qingwu gave a slight nod to the booth owner, then put away the towel and left. As he walked past the Jinling Bridge, he couldn't help but twirl the orchid embroidered on the towel: Beautiful indeed, but her personality isn't first-rate.
When Mu Yunyao returned to the New Cloud Market, Su Qing was counting the rewards the Emperor had given her. "Yao`er, look at these clothes. It seems that the Emperor knows that you're good at embroidery, so he specially rewarded you with some clothes."
"If mother likes it, I'll make one for you to see tomorrow."
"That's great! We have money, so we have to keep all of it. We'll use it as your dowry in the future." Su Qing was beaming with happiness. This was the first time she had been so happy in such a long time. Mu Yunyao thought about the plan in her heart and secretly apologized to Su Qing. In order to deal with Su Qingwu, she had no choice but to pay a price.
