"Madam, why did you say this? You are in your prime, and you are so beautiful. I don't know how many people envy you. The pictures of beautiful women embroidered on this booklet are all made by me based on your lady's style." Mu Yunyao sipped slightly. Lips, sighed, "Madam is blaming me, so to speak, I'm not being kind after all.
…”
This booklet has been prepared for a long time. She took it out at this time in the hope that Ding Yuelan could relax and restore her former glory.
Ding Yuelan shook her head: "little master, I don't mean to blame you in the slightest, the matter of the Ding family has nothing to do with you, you are just a person who exposed the truth. Speaking of which, I would also like to thank you, otherwise, I don't know that I will be punished. How many years have you been deceived…”
However, Mu Yunyao gave a bitter smile and said what she did not say: "It's just that this hurdle in Madam's heart is still difficult to overcome."
Ding Yuelan was silent, and nodded inexplicably.
"... That lady has plans?"
"I decided to leave in two days..."
"No, Madam can stay here as long as you want. If you move out, it will really make me feel uneasy." Mu Yunyao said, her eyes lowered with a hint of sadness.
Ding Yuelan stopped talking, Mu Yunyao knew that unless she figured it out, other people's persuasion would be useless, she could only secretly regret: "This booklet, just treat it as a gift to my wife, no matter when you want Come back, Niyunfang always welcomes you."
After speaking, he took out another 500 taels of silver notes: "It's hard for a woman to be outside, you can take this money as a reward for being the shopkeeper of Niyunfang these days."
Ding Yuelan finally raised her head: "No, it's too much."
"Take it, Madam, even if you don't want to take it, don't return it now. When you settle down and have your own livelihood, return it to me not too late. This is not a debt to me." "... I... "Ding Yuelan felt more and more uneasy in her heart. It would be a lie to say that there was no grudge, but she understood that Mu Yunyao was no wonder what happened to the Ding family. If she hadn't come to Niyunfang, there would have been nothing that happened in the future. . Now that Mu Yunyao is planning for her like this, it makes her even more so.
There is a sense of shamelessness.
"Okay, it's getting late, I should go back too, I have to get up early tomorrow."
When Mu Yunyao left, Ding Yuelan touched the silver note on the table and felt the temperature was scalding hot, as if it could burn directly to her heart.
The next day, just as Mu Yunyao got up, Jin Lan ran in: "Miss, shopkeeper Ding has left."
Mu Yunyao washed up for a while, and then responded: "I see, let's go down and have breakfast, there are still many things to do after dinner."
"…Yes, miss."
The departure of Shopkeeper Ding caused everyone in Niyunfang to feel depressed for a while, but there was still embroidery stitching to be taught, so they didn't care to continue feeling sad.
Inspector Zhang took over the case of the Ding family and immediately sent someone to investigate, which directly exploded in Jingling City. The restaurant, the tea house, and the brothel Chuguan are all talking about the Ding family.
Jin Qiao listened to it outside, and came back with a vivid description to Mu Yunyao and Su Qing. "Madam, miss, you don't know, an old woman sued Governor Zhang today, saying that she was Master Ding's first wife, and that when Master Ding didn't make a fortune, he abandoned her as one of the seven children without children. , and then gave her to a merchant as a concubine, the merchant thanked Mr. Ding,
He gave him a business, and the Ding family made a fortune from it. Later, Mr. Ding found out that this was a shortcut, so he collected many orphans and wanted to choose them to make profits for the Ding family, but unfortunately, many people regarded him as a male bustard, and many girls were sent away, but the rewards were very high. Slightly… cough…”
Jin Qiao coughed in one breath, and Jin Lan quickly poured her a glass of water: "Hurry up." Jin Qiao drank a glass of water and continued: "After that, Master Ding adopted the eldest daughter. Ding Yuejin, who was meticulously nurtured to the age of fourteen, was sent to the side of Mr. Liu, who was a seventh-rank official county magistrate at the time. Mr. Liu helped the Ding family, and the Ding family had a facade. Mr. Ding tasted the sweetness and adopted Ding Yuexinhe one after another. Ding Yuelan, originally, Ding Yuexin and Jingling knew each other well at first, but at that time, after being elected by Master Tongzhi, he was not assigned an official position. Master Ding was not reconciled, so he secretly matched Ding Yuexin and Master Xuanfu Envoy to meet by chance, attracting Xuanfu Envoy. The adults were obsessed with her, and later
Come, Master Tongzhi was highly used by the court, and he was promoted to an official position. Master Ding couldn't sit still. He married Ding Yuexin to Tongzhi Jingling, and then he was reluctant to give up Master Xuan Fu, so he wanted to marry Mrs. Ding. …”
Jin Qiao gasped for breath, took a sip of the tea cup.
Su Qing was stunned when he heard it, only to think that the matter of the Ding family was more interesting than what was written in the picture book: "Then what?" "Then, I don't know what Ding Yuexin and Xuan Fu Envoy said, anyway, Xuan Fu Envoy agreed to marry. Mrs. Ding, Ding Yuelan, was secretly involved with Ding Yuexin, and vowed to protect her for the rest of her life. Later, the two hugged each other and were discovered by Mrs. Ding, so the next thing happened.
Affection. "
"Mrs Tongzhi and the envoy are hugging each other. How secret is this matter, how did it come out?" Su Qing couldn't help but be curious. "It was said by the servants of Ding's house, madam, you don't know, now that the Ding family's affairs are out, many of the Ding family's servants have been dismissed, those servants know a lot of secrets, and said that the Ding family's youngest Ding Yuening's daughter, who was supposed to comfort Ding Yuening, who was the envoy to discuss a marriage, was actually trying to make a marriage proposal, it was clearly cooked rice that had been cooked. In the arms of Lord Xuanwei Envoy, he inadvertently ripped open his clothes. Lord Xuanwei Envoy already had a fiancée, but Ding Yuening wanted to commit suicide because of his innocence.
That's what made the lord of the console say to marry her..."
Su Qing couldn't help but sigh: "This... This is really unexpected... Is there any news about Mrs. Ding?"
"Master Ding couldn't move after the stroke, so he could barely speak. Someone saw Mrs. Ding returning to Ding's house."
Mu Yunyao flipped through the account book for a while, and couldn't help thinking in her heart that this was Ding Yuelan's style. The affairs of the Ding family have been raging, and Niyunfang has also been affected to some extent. However, there are many positive aspects. The embroidery ladies who came to learn embroidery stitches have taken a much more serious attitude. Some of the women in Jingling City have already been able to Embroidered good embroidery, after selling it, I really got a lot of money
Money, for a while, provoked others to learn more and more seriously.
The matter of teaching embroidery stitches has been on the right track, and the memorial written by Cao Yunnian has also been delivered to Kyoto. Mu Yunyao's affairs gradually decreased, and she began to concentrate on embroidering the beauty book. The beauty book is equivalent to Niyunfang's face. She didn't fake her hand in the previous one, and this one was naturally embroidered by her. Because Ding Yuelan left, the book she had embroidered before was not going to be used. It was necessary to redraw the pattern and match it with clothes and jewelry.
When she got up, she acted strangely, so she didn't have to worry too much.
Another thing is to name the tea house in Jinxiu Garden. Mu Yunyao still wanted to get Su Qing to start, but after a long time, Su Qing refused to agree, so she had to do it herself. "Miss, Miss Yinhong is here."
