Chapter 36
Two days later, Mu Yunyao went to the Cao family's residence. As expected, the gatekeeper politely asked her to wait for a while, and before long, the maid that he had met in the Color Moon Pavilion walked over. "My lady, please, my lady, I have been waiting for you."
"Thank you, sister." Noticing the contempt in the maid's eyes, Mu Yunyao didn't care in the slightest.
Mrs Jin had changed into a pink-white dress, looking refreshing and pleasant.
"Mu Yunyao greets Madam."
"There's no need to be so courteous. So your name is Mu Yunyao. It's a good name." Lady Jin was also sizing her up. Today, she had changed into a light purple set of clothes, beautifully embroidered with branches and violets, the hem of her skirt moving about, and the violet flower bud was actually faintly discernible in red. If one looked carefully, they would see that the pistil was made of void, revealing the color of her petticoats.
"Thank you Madam. I don't know if I can measure your figure right now, but it's rare to find someone with such a beautiful figure like you. I can't wait to make you some clothes so that you can see the effects."
"Alright, then let's begin."
Mu Yunyao's words weren't as respectful as the others, but when she heard them, it made people feel as if their hearts were being pressed. After measuring her clothes and chatting with Lady Jin for a while, Mu Yunyao brought along the reward and left Cao Manor.
After returning to the inn and letting the two taels of silver buy the thread, she focused on embroidering clothes in her room and stopped going out.
Lady Jin's clothes were to be worn at Madam Inspector's banquet in 20 days' time. She had to make them in at least half a month, so she had time to change them in the remaining few days.
Mu Yunyao had already told Lady Jin of her current address, but Lady Jin had never once sent anyone to check it out, which caused Su Qing to be worried in her heart.
Mu Yunyao didn't know how to explain things to her mother. A person like Lady Jin did things impeccably. Even if she was told to prepare clothes for her, she would secretly prepare several sets for her to replace at any time.
Furthermore, she, Mu Yunyao, was the one begging him for help. There was no reason for her to not be concerned, so there was no need to worry about Madam Jin. There was no need for her to be a vile person.
Twenty days of time were enough for the manager of the Rainbow Moon Pavilion to thoroughly investigate Mu Yunyao's situation. "A mother and daughter who suddenly came to the Tomb City? "What about the others? Haven't you found anything?"
"Nothing else."
"You didn't find anything?" If you can't even do such a small thing properly, what use would you have? Are they going by water or land? If they are going by water, they are going to ask the ship, and if they are going by land, they are going to check the car market.
"It is said that they came by water. However, it is impossible to find out anything about the ship shop."
"This... Unable to find anything? " The storekeeper couldn't help but stroke his chin, "Alright, I understand. For the time being, I will not make a move. I want to see what kind of demon a little girl can become!" Has the capital replied? "
"I've already gone back. They said that the newest style of clothes are already on the way."
"Good, the person who dares to steal the business from this shopkeeper has not been born yet!" The manager smiled complacently and hummed a small tune as he walked up the stairs.
Twenty days later, Mu Yunyao brought the completed clothes to the Cao family's residence again, but this time she waited at the entrance for a little longer.
When he saw her, dressed in fine clothing, and the maid carrying the tea away, he understood that she had been expecting him. "Greetings, Madam," he said.
"Sorry for the wait. I just saw a customer. Is the clothes ready?"
Mu Yunyao carefully took out the clothes and nodded with a smile, "Yes, I was worried that Madam wouldn't be satisfied in some way, so I intentionally made them in advance so that I could have a few days to modify them."
"You, this temper of yours …"
"Madam," the maid interrupted Lady Jin with hurried steps, "Lady Chen said that she forgot to ask and came back with a few words."
Lady Jin frowned. Just as she was about to say something, she heard a burst of hearty laughter.
"Look at my memory, I actually forgot the most important matter. Madam, please don't take offense. Eh, you have a guest?" A beautiful woman walked in. She looked to be in her thirties and was about the same age as Lady Jin. However, her figure was slightly plump and her smile was bright and graceful.
"I still don't understand your personality. You're in a hurry to do anything. Have you forgotten something?"
"I've heard that the Madam Patrol Officer also loves tea, but I don't understand her specific preferences. She has come to consult you, to ask you for advice, so that she won't be able to get anything good out of the gift." As Lady Chen spoke, her eyes stared at Mu Yunyao. "I've long heard that you didn't order a set of clothes in the Rainbow Moon Pavilion. Instead, you found a little girl. Is that the person in front of you?"
Mu Yunyao stepped forward and bowed. "Greetings Madam."
"There's no need to be so courteous, but with my clothes ready, I wonder if I would have the honor of taking a glance at it first?"
Lady Jin was unhappy in her heart, but she could not show it on her face. From the corner of her eyes, Mu Yunyao slightly nodded her head and saw Lady Chen's expression, knowing that she would not be able to stop her today.
When Lady Chen saw the white silk covering her clothes, she secretly curled her lips. Lady Jin was indeed confused. What good clothes could a girl from such a small house make? Of course, she wished Mrs King had been disgraced at the caretaker's party.
However, when Madam Chen took out the clothes, she was stunned on the spot.
She shouldn't have agreed to let Madam Chen see it just now. There were still five or six days until the banquet, so if news of the style and patterns of the clothes were to spread, it would definitely attract the attention of others, and if that were to happen, no matter how good the clothes were, she would not be able to wear them out.
The brocade mountain and river screen had already been sent to the capital, so Mu Yunyao naturally wouldn't use the needle technique. Instead, she used the Su embroidery technique. The embroidery of Su Yu and the flying needle painting had the same effect. The embroidery was very lifelike, so it was no wonder that Lady Jin and Lady Chen were stunned by it.
Madam Chen couldn't help but feel jealous. She didn't know what kind of luck Lady Jin had to be able to find such a treasure. She carefully looked at the details of the clothes and memorized them.
After she left, Lady Jin sighed and said, "I like this set of clothes a hundred and twenty thousand times, but I'm afraid I can't wear it out anymore." She had been wondering why Lady Chen, who usually didn't like her, would suddenly visit her. It was because she was waiting for her here!
Mu Yunyao's face was full of confusion, "Why does Madame say that?"
"You are still young and don't understand some things," Lady Jin said as she gently stroked the lifelike peony on her skirt. "In the past, when you embroidered peonies, you took their flowers and even the peony branches and branches that were embroidered on your clothes. With green branches and luxuriant leaves, you look full of vitality, causing people to be unable to resist the joy of watching you.
"So Madam is worried that someone else might have learned the trick. If it's because of this, you can rest assured that I will guarantee that no matter how others learn, they will never learn its essence."
"Why is that?" Lady Jin was stunned.
