After more than ten days of hustle and bustle, a caravan started from Jingling City in the name of transporting tea, and went all the way west to Yuxi City, which is the closest to western Guangdong.
After finishing his work with Jiang Cha, Steward Qin stared at Buxian Lou again. The plaque that copied the emperor's calligraphy was finally delivered after more than a dozen craftsmen carefully crafted it. In order to show importance, after discussing with him, Mu Yunyao chose a good day and invited Cao Yunnian and others to put it on the table. After thousands of firecrackers, the plaque of Buxianlou was solemnly hung.
up! Such a solemn scene naturally attracted most of the people in Jingling City to come and watch. Mu Yunyao announced that he would use the profits from the next half-month Buxian Building to buy food and distribute it to the orphans, widows, old and young who were in difficult circumstances. This expresses gratitude to the emperor, and naturally attracts a voice of praise
.
During the period, the steward of the Salesian Bureau came to see Caiqing and wanted to take her back, but after hearing that she had signed a contract of selling herself, he cursed a few words without conscience in a low voice, and left angrily. .
Caiqing knew that Mu Yunyao was extremely disgusted by her previous behavior, but she did not deliberately lean in front of her, but after cleaning the mansion, she concentrated on learning embroidery with Mrs. Ding. She has a good talent and has learned it before. Halfway through, it's pretty decent. Nan'er's injuries have also been able to get out of bed and move around. She follows Mu Yunyao every day, hoping to help her. It's just that Jin Lan saw how he was coughing at every turn, so she was so startled that she hurriedly sent people back to the room. After three or four consecutive days, Jin Lan couldn't take it anymore.
Mu Yunyao complained.
After Mu Yunyao called Nan'er to instruct him carefully, she let him give up his thoughts of coming to help, and concentrated on recuperating his body, only to repay her well after his body was healed.
As soon as the Double Ninth Festival was over, the weather became obviously cooler. When Mu Yunyao changed her clothes and was about to go out, Su Qing chased after her and put on a emerald-patterned brocade cloak for her.
The pale blue cloak made Mu Yunyao's complexion even paler, she was like soft tofu, so Su Qing couldn't help but reach out and touch her cheek: "Go quickly, say hello to Mrs. Jin for me, I'll ask you on the way. Be careful."
Mu Yunyao rubbed Su Qing's hand affectionately, her eyes curled with a smile: "Yes, mother, don't worry, I'll be back soon."
Early this morning, Mrs. Jin sent someone to invite her. Seeing the anxious look on the maid's face, Mu Yunyao didn't dare to delay.
Yinhong was anxiously waiting at the door, and when she saw Mu Yunyao coming down, she hurriedly stepped forward to salute: "I have seen Miss Mu, you are finally here, Madam is waiting for you!"
Seeing Yinhong's ugly expression, Mu Yunyao was startled, and followed her all the way to the backyard.
In the room, Mrs. Jin was lying on the bed with a pale face, while Cao Yunnian was anxiously guarding the side.
As soon as she entered the room, she smelled the smell of medicine. Mu Yunyao couldn't help frowning. When she saw Cao Yunnian, she quickly bowed her knees and saluted: "I have seen Mr. Cao."
"Miss Mu excuses the gift, please help Madam to take a look."
Mu Yunyao didn't care about being polite, and hurriedly stepped forward to check Madam Jin's pulse.
Mrs. Jin Xu Shi heard Mu Yunyao's voice, opened her eyes and held her hand tightly: "Yunyao, is there something wrong with the child in my womb? You want to help me keep him, I don't care what I do. Don't let him make mistakes!"
Mu Yunyao's heart moved, and she quickly held her back: "Madam, don't worry, I will definitely try my best, don't get excited now, otherwise..."
Mrs. Jin turned her head slightly, and tears rolled down the corners of her eyes. On one side, Cao Yun was pacing back and forth. Seeing her expression, his expression became more and more anxious: "Oh, madam, don't be sad, I will definitely give you an explanation."
As soon as Cao Yunnian finished speaking, Yinhong walked in and said, "Reporting to my lord and madam, Concubine Wang is kneeling at the gate of the courtyard."
Mrs. Jin's face suddenly turned cold, and she said to Cao Yunnian, "I describe myself as haggard today, and it is not convenient to see the master. You should go out first."
Cao Yunnian's face was even more anxious, but because of Mu Yunyao's presence, it was inconvenient to say anything, so he could only hesitate for a moment, then said slowly: "The lady needs to rest, I will come to see you later." When Cao Yunnian left, Yinhong went out to take a look, and came back to report to Madam Jin: "Madam, Concubine Wang is still kneeling at the gate of the yard. When the master left just now, she seemed to say something, and the master kicked her." Seeing that Mrs. Jin nodded slightly to indicate that she heard it, Yinhong backed out.
, at the door. When there were no outsiders in the room, Mu Yunyao, who had been bowing her head slightly, said, "Madam, why is this so troublesome?" Just now she helped Madam Jin to detect her pulse, and found that her pulse was extremely stable, nothing at all, but her complexion Pale, and squeezed her hand tightly, and she followed her words.
go down. Mrs. Jin sat up, picked up the silk handkerchief and wiped away her tears: "Yunyao, I'm really sorry for bringing you into it for nothing. For the past two days, some people have not seen my goodness, and they always chewed their tongues in front of the master, which made him feel angry. It's a bit of a grudge, if you don't remove this grudge, it will form a pimple sooner or later
, no longer open. "
"As long as Madam is all right, if you can call me here at this time, you don't treat me as an outsider, so why would I mind?" Mu Yunyao thought for a while, and then roughly guessed something. There have long been rumors in the market that Cao Yunnian was able to rise to the sky so quickly, mostly thanks to the east wind of Mrs. Jin's family. Later, Mrs. Jin's clothes attracted colorful butterflies, and the emperor promoted Cao Yunnian. Mrs. Jin sealed her official life, and everyone outside said Cao Yun
The greatest luck of the year was to marry a good lady. At this time, if someone deliberately provokes two sentences, it is very likely to make him think wrong. "By the way, there is another thing to call you here today. I told the master about the New Year's gift. After hearing the news, Governor Zhang was also very moved, so he thought of finding some old people from all over the world who were blessed with five blessings to write it down. Longevity and health, and then sent to Jingling City for uniform embroidery, I don’t need to collect handwriting in front
We are worried that Governor Zhang will send someone to deal with it, but this last embroidery is about to be bigger. Do you think it can be completed? Mu Yunyao thought about it carefully and said, "Now the time is running out. If the embroidery needs to be made bigger, it will take a lot of time. However, since Governor Zhang opened his mouth, he is rushing to work day and night. Do your best to finish. The embroidery is made nine feet long and five feet high, which is exactly the meaning of ninety-five supreme.
, how do you feel, madam? "
Mrs. Jin looked at Mu Yunyao apologetically: "This is naturally the best, but it's just going to be hard on you."
Mu Yunyao smiled: "I am very grateful to be able to get the emperor's reward, no matter how hard I work, I will be happy."
What's more, the annual ceremony she helped embroider is not only to show her face in front of the emperor, but more importantly, she wants to use this to greet the Su family.
At the beginning, on the emperor's birthday, the splendid river and mountain screen presented by the Su family not only did not help the Su family to win the prize, but because the blood-stained rivers and mountains had a bad meaning, the emperor's dragon face was furious, and the Su family also ate it and hung up. . Thinking of coming to the current Su family, the last thing you don't want to see is embroidery. She just wanted to send another pair of embroidery, if this embroidery was praised by the emperor, it would definitely make them feel like they were stuck in their throats. Taking a step back, even if this embroidery is not praised by the emperor, it can still remind the emperor of the previous screen sent by the Su family. As long as it can make the Su family unhappy, she is willing to work hard for the past few months.
