Chapter 148

A Talent for Making Silver

Yu Yi had never seen Steward Qin reveal such an expression before . He couldn't help but be curious in his heart, "Steward Qin, what happened?"

Steward Qin glimpsed at Yu Yi badly, and suddenly came some spirit: "After you gave the two letters to Wang Ye, what is his expression?"

"Wang Ye's expression?" Yu Yi rubbed his head and thought for a long time . "You've served Wang Ye for so many years . His face has always been so cold and indifferent . What kind of expression can he possibly have?"

Steward Qin had already been full of anticipation, but now he impatiently waved his hand . "Scram! You're just like that kid Yu Heng . You're useless all day . "

Who said that? Before Eunuch Cheng, he praised me .

"That's because his eyes are blurry from age . Hurry up and move aside . Don't stay here, just looking at you makes me heartache . " Yu Yi rubbed his nose and headed straight to the kitchen . It said that there was still quite a lot of ginger tea in the kitchen, so he wanted to taste it quickly . Yuyi had been back and forth between Jingling City and Western Guangdong for the past few days . He only heard about ginger tea, but he hasn't seen ginger tea yet . He is so curious about ginger tea and finally has a chance to get the truth .

Steward Qin sighed for a long time . He could only shake his head and sigh, "There's no need to rush . There's no need to rush . We should consider this matter from a longer perspective . "

After a period of time, Mu Yunyao had completely quietened down and focused on embroidering the Emperor New Year's gift . The papers with the word Fu, Shou, An, and Kang that searched from all over the place are already full of boxes . Even though Mu Yunyao had meticulously, she had still spent a lot of effort to arrange them . And then, her speed of embroidering the Emperor New Year's gifts increased .

On this day, Mu Yunyao had just finished her breakfast when Jin Lan came over to report, "Miss, Shopkeeper Qin has arrived . "

"Send him in . "

As the weather grew colder, Steward Qin changed into a thicker armor and wore a brown and blue hat . He smiled and said gently, "Greetings, Miss Mu . "

"There is no need for Steward Qin to be so courteous . Please take a seat quickly . Jin Lan will serve a cup of tea . "

When the tea served, Steward Qin took a sip and praised, "They all use the same kind of water and make with the same kind of tea, but I always feel that Miss Mu's tea here more delicious . "

Mu Yunyao couldn't help but chuckle, "Then I must reward Jin Lan in the future . Her skills in brewing tea have improved . "

"It is indeed worth giving a good reward . " Steward Qin looked at Jin Lan, who was quite well-organized every time she advances and retreats . He could not help but sigh in his heart . The method Miss Mu used to teach others was not something that others could compare . More than half a year ago, he had seen the appearance of Jin Lan when she first arrived at this place . Her appearance now is totally different .

Jin Lan hurriedly bowed from the side . "Many thanks, Miss . Many thanks, Steward Qin . I will work hard in the future . " When she finished speaking and saw Steward Qin smile without saying a word, she couldn't help but raise her head and look at Mu Yunyao . Seeing her nod slightly, she saluted and left .

Steward Qin then began to talk about official matters, "Miss Mu, that batch of ginger tea we sent last time was of great help to Wang Ye, so I thought of frying another batch to send over . "

"Steward Qin should have seen it too . I'm busy embroidering the New Year's gifts to the Emperor . My energy is too limited to take care of it, so I'll leave the matter of stir-frying ginger tea to you . " The first time she gave ginger tea to Yue Wang, it was for a favor . The next time she would give it to him, it would be for free . But the silvers she had on hand were all used to do for big things, naturally they could not be used on the Yue Wang .

Steward Qin naturally couldn't see through Mu Yunyao's plans . Seeing that she directly refused, he didn't think so much into it: "Since that's the case, then I'll do it myself . I only need to borrow a person from Miss Mu to use it . "

"Borrowing people?" Steward Qin is talking about Qi Mung that helped buy food last time?"

"That's right, we have to send more ginger tea this time, so we need to buy more food . We would like him to help us out a bit . "

"No problem . I will get Liu Liang to notify him and have him go directly to Steward Qin . "

"Alright . Many thanks, Miss Mu . There's one more thing . It's getting colder right now, and the number of guests in Bu Xian Luo is decreasing . So I was wondering if I could take a break and fix up Jin Xiu Garden with some drapes or such . "

Mu Yunyao suddenly understood, "I've been busy these past few days with embroidery and had almost forgotten about this matter . From tomorrow onwards, I'll close the Jin Xiu Garden for three days to rearrange the scenery of the garden . "

"Isn't three days too short?" Could it be done in such a hurry?

"Steward Qin, rest assured . Before, when I was fixing up the beautiful scenery of Jin Xiu Garden, I carefully considered how to prevent the wind in the winter . Moreover, the curtains already prepared beforehand .

"That would be the best . Miss Mu's thoughts are truly admirable . " Steward Qin knew that Mu Yunyao's time was tight at the moment, so after saying a few more words to make her pay attention to her body, he stood up to take his leave . After Mu Yunyao had told Liu Liang about the matter, she completely tossed it to the back of her mind . Ten days later, Steward Qin came to express his gratitude, saying that they were all meticulous and that the quality of the rice grains they bought was excellent, and the price was slightly lower than that of the other grain merchants . A series of praises said for about a quarter of an hour, and even there is a red envelope that he hoped Mu Yunyao would pass it on to Qi Ming .

After he left, just as Mu Yunyao was about to tell Jin Lan to call Liu Liang, she saw him walk in with a box .

"You have come just in time . Just now, Steward Qin sent a red envelope saying that he wanted to thank Qi Ming for his consideration . Take your time and hand it over to him . "

After he finished bowing, he stood up and brought the box in front of Mu Yunyao with a stiff expression .

Recalling Steward Qin's continuous praises, a smile still appeared on Mu Yunyao's face . "What's this?" As she spoke, she opened the box, and the smile on her face froze .

Inside the box was a neatly placed stack of banknotes, she took them up and roughly counted them . The banknote's value was at least twenty thousand taels of silver .

"Where did all this silver come from?"

"Reporting to Mistress, we earned it from Qi Ming . " Mu Yunyao was really shocked, "He earned it?" Her first thought was Qi Ming secretly deduct the money that Steward Qin had asked him to buy food . However, when he thought of Steward Qin's praises just now, she felt that it wasn't like that . After all, Steward Qin is not a fool . The quality and price of the grains were good . The most important thing is that it was not fake .

Liu Liang nodded . "According to your instructions, we were all ordered to collect grains . After hearing about the uses of the grains, he bought more and sold them to Steward Qin . "

At the time, When Mu Yunyao had asked Qi Ming to go buy grain, the autumn harvest was just over, and the new grains were much cheaper . Now that it was winter, the prices had naturally risen a lot, and these twenty thousand taels of silver were the difference . Mu Yunyao thought for a moment, and after she figured out the crux of the matter, she couldn't help but laugh out loud . "This fellow is really a talent . Bring him here some other time . I want to see what this smart person looks like . "
