~ YUE WANG, WHO JUST CAME OUT OF THE BATH ~
Liu Liang replied, “I heard from him that we had contacted the craftsman, but we are short of some new jewelry patterns.”
Mu Yunyao slightly lowered her gaze. After thinking for a moment, she said, “Since that’s the case, then let’s let him open up two houses first, one being in the JinglingCity while the other is in Yangzhou City. I will have Shopkeeper Qin send some people in Bu Xian Luo to help him stabilize his position. We must spread our reputation first, regardless of how much money we spend.”
“Yes, I will immediately send someone to tell Qi Ming.”
“Alright.”
After Liu Liang left, Mu Yunyao quietly sat there for a while before she got up and went to meet Yue Wang. Mu Yunyao’s heart skipped a beat when she saw his appearance. At this time, it was likely that Yue Wang had just finished bathing. His light blue robe caused the cold aura around his body to abate quite a bit. His dark hair spread out, part of his hair was fixed on the top of his head by a white jade crow, and some of it was scattered around his ears, softening the cold light in his ink-black eyes, making him look even more handsome. “Why are you looking for me so late?” They had just met in the afternoon. He thought that Mu Yunyao would be fine, so he took a bath and changed clothes early to rest. Unexpectedly, he heard from steward Qin that Mu Yunyao had arrived. He hastened to clean it up and rushed over, so he didn’t even have time to dry his hair.
Mu Yunyao stood up, feeling a bit nervous in her heart. She was too rushed just now and had forgotten to pay attention to the time. “I’ve disturbed Fourth Master. My matters aren’t too urgent. Let’s talk about it tomorrow.” As she spoke, she stood up and left with her head lowered.
“Since you’ve come, if you don’t say anything, you make me worry for you.” Yue Wang sat behind the table and looked indifferently at Mu Yunyao.
If she left now, it became even more apparent that she wanted to cover it up. Mu Yunyao could only stop her steps and say, “It’s some news about Qi Ming. He found out that a large batch of official salt will be transported to the north through Jingling City recently.”
“Is it time to transport the official salt?” Yue Wang obviously also knew the way and felt that something was wrong when he heard it. He gently tapped his finger on the table, and his mind turned quickly.
Mu Yunyao stood in place, but her gaze involuntarily fell on his hair. Perhaps it was because he came in a hurry, but his hair hadn’t dried yet, but now that he sat down, there were water stains on his clothes. Although it was already spring, the night’s weather was still quite cold, which must be extremely uncomfortable.
However, Yue Wang didn’t realize it. “I will get someone to investigate more. It’s impossible to transport a large amount of official salt at this time. There must be a reason that we don’t know about.”
Mu Yunyao steadied her heart. “I was thinking the same thing, but it’s too difficult for Qi Ming to gain the approval of Wu Minzhizhi and his group in such a short time, so I wanted to help him stabilize his foundation as much as possible. It’s impossible to get some confidential information, but I can at least inquire a bit more about it.”
“What do I need to do?”
“I had discussed with Steward Qin before, and if you don’t mind, we’ll open Bu Xian Luo in Yangzhou City and Huai’an City. Now that Yangzhou city is ready, I want to assign some people to help Qi Ming build Yi Bao Xuan.” “Yi Bao Xuan?”
“Yes. If Ni Yun Fang mainly sells clothes, Yi Bao Xuan can sell some jewelry, rouge, and cosmetics, and can also make quite a bit of profit.” Mu Yunyao carefully explained the plan of setting up the Yi Bao Xuan.
After hearing this, Yue Wang couldn’t help but show a different color: “It is indeed an excellent idea to let Yi Bao Xuan climb up the ranks of Ni Yun Fang. No one will be able to link it with you, so this method is feasible. I will instruct Steward Qin to send some people to cooperate with Qi Ming.”
Mu Yunyao heaved a sigh of relief and took out a contract from her sleeve. “I am the leader of this Yi Bao Xuan, so I can’t let Fourth Master waste your efforts. I will give you thirty percent of the profits like Ni Yun Fang. How about it?”
Yue Wang took the written agreement, and after reading it carefully, he shook his head.
Mu Yunyao’s eyes moved slightly, “According to Fourth Master’s opinion, what percentage should I give to you?”
Yue Wang tore the contract: “I am only helping from the side. You don’t have to give me the silver taels. Previously, you were the one who controlled both ginger tea and Bu Xian Luo.”
Bu Xian Lou gradually established its foothold, and more and more news came back. He had already started to profit from this. Not to mention the large amount of ginger tea delivered to Western Guangdong had helped him exceedingly, and it could say that he still owed Mu Yunyao a favor.
Mu Yunyao laughed, “Since that’s the case, then I’ll take advantage of you this time.” Since Yue Wang was so generous, please don’t blame her for being impolite. She had never had anything against real gold and silver.
After talking about the business and taking advantage of it, Mu Yunyao was in a good mood and couldn’t help but kindly remind him, “The weather is cold at night, so Fourth Master should dry his hair as soon as possible. Otherwise, it’s easy for you to get chills. I’ll take my leave first.”
“I’ll send you back.”
“There’s no need. It’s only two steps ….” Mu Yunyao hurriedly refused.
However, Yue Wang had already stood up and lit up a lantern: “Let’s go. It’s dark now. Even if you go alone, I won’t be able to rest at ease.”
Under the candlelight, Yue Wang’s face took on a layer of haziness. His eyes, which were as black as night, also seemed to have a soft glow to them. His exquisite and handsome face seemed as if it carved from heaven.
Mu Yunyao fiercely bit down on her tongue and suppressed the ripples in her heart. She raised her hand to take the lantern in the hands of Yue Wang. “Fourth Master, you should go and dry your hair first. There’s only this little way. I can go back by myself.” With that, without waiting for Yue Wang to speak, she lifted up her skirt and walked out of the study.
Staring at her hastily leaving figure, Yue Wang couldn’t help but twitch his fingers and let out a faint sigh in his heart. He thought that Mu Yunyao had reduced her guard against him, but now it seemed that she was still full of caution.
Steward Qin walked over with a cloth towel in his hand. “Your Highness came in too much of a hurry and forgot to wipe your hair. Did Miss Mu leave?”
“Yes.”
Steward Qin handed the cloth towel with a face full of smiles. “This servant heard that you need to be especially patient in taming the Snow Fox. Because once the Snow Fox caught, you have to be extremely wary....”
“Uncle Qin, it’s getting late. Why don’t you go back and have a rest earlier?”
“Alright, Your Highness est early as well. This drop of water cuts through rocks, the rope saws the wood, the road is long and endless. It’s a long way to go, persevering, and struggling to make a thousand miles....”
“Uncle Qin, the things you’re carrying are too messy. However, it does make sense.”
Steward Qin seemed thrilled, “This old servant will definitely read more books when I return. I will try to recite more accurately next time.”
Yue Wang dried his hair and took out a red rope from his sleeves. Underneath the red rope was a crescent-shaped scented sachet made from twisted colored silk ropes, and underneath the scented sachet were two small silver bells, which shook slightly and jingling. It was very delicate and lovely. When he had pulled off the red rope from Mu Yunyao’s neck, he had actually left something behind. Sometimes he would take it out and shake it, which made his depressed mind would become calmer. Perhaps this was what everyone was referring to as fate.
“Alright.”
After Liu Liang left, Mu Yunyao quietly sat there for a while before she got up and went to meet Yue Wang. Mu Yunyao’s heart skipped a beat when she saw his appearance.
