Lil' Painted Life

Wang Ye - His Royal Highness Shi - mister Xiufang - embroidery shop Siye- Fourth Lord Chapter 77 The teahouse is secured (unedited)     "How can I do nothing? This business cannot be done only by people and boundaries. Since it is a tea house, tea, water and human relations are indispensable. Moreover, you are very busy with your troop, naturally. It’s impossible to always watch the teahouse. What happened in the follow-up is still for me to solve the problem. The most important thing is that I am also doing it for your sake!”     “How come I can’t see where it was for my own good?”   “I have a poem, don’t be one not to know the true face of Mount Lushan [English equiv. idiom: can’t see the forest for the trees] . Because I’m on the mountain, in my opinion, it’s very good.” Yue Wang wanted to borrow the teahouse to plant his people in Jiangnan. A little carelessness may cause a lot of trouble. Directly opening the teahouse in the Jinxiu Garden, appe

Chapter 76 To borrow and use a garden (unedited)     Yue Wang turned over the paper in his hands, looked a bit overcast: "Mu Yunyao still stayed at Niyunfang?"     "Yes, since Niyunfang closed its doors and rushed to work, Mu girl and her mother moved in."     Yue Wang no longer made a sound. Unnoticeably, the air surrounding his whole body was slightly colder.     Suddenly, Qin Guan burst in: "My Lord, a rabbit raised by the old slave went to the Su house next door. This rabbit is not easy to raise. It was hard to raise the rabbit. If it could not be found back, would it not kill the old slave? So the slave without authority had sent someone to go to Niyunfang and invite Mu girl back. I hope she can open the door and help find the rabbit."     Yu Heng gawked at Qin Guan, his eyes were full of admiration: He commented how busy was Qin Guan, he should not be idle but insisted to buy a live rabbit; it was actually to be used here!

Chapter 75 Suing Caiyue Pavilion     The next day, the weather was gloomy.     Jin Lan and Jin Qiao with the others to replace the dirty carpets downstairs in the early morning. When they saw Mu Yunyao coming downstairs, they could not help but worry: “Miss, we’ll rush to work as soon as possible and finish the clothes. Miss can go back upstairs to have a rest."     "It’s fine. The weather is too hot and stuffy, I can't sleep. It's better to accompany you girls to do the sewing."     After embroidering the skirt of the dress past midnight last night, Mu Yunyao kneaded her sore neck slightly. "Do you know anyone who wants to learn embroidery methods?"     The female apprentices hurriedly looked up: "Miss, we don't dare to privately pass on the embroidery needles, please rest assured..."     Mu Yunyao knew they had misunderstood and opened her mouth to explain: "I am not blaming or doubting anyone, but recent

Chapter 74: The human heart is fickle     Mu Yunyao turned her head and smiled: "If I say I’m not curious, it’s definitely a lie. However, if the lady does not want to speak, and I ask you about it, it will be like forcing you to speak. If the lady is willing to speak, I won’t need to ask. So I chose not to ask."      Ding Yuelan’s lips almost raised listening to her remarks, but without waiting for the smile to bloom, it suddenly disappeared: "Do you have a sister?"      "No, my mother hurt her body when she gave birth to me. After that, I am an only child in my family, there are no brothers and sisters. I often admired others to have protection from their siblings."  Ding Yuelan laughed: "I used to think so too. My sister and I are not from the same mother, but when I was young, in order to save me from falling into the pond, my sister caused her body to be frail and sickly. After that, I treated her like my own sister and care

Chapter 73 Red silhouette on a rainy night     The women who had booked their clothes early smiled, especially Lady Yang who had previously added two hundred silver to receive her clothes earlier. On the fifth day, the clothes and jewellery were sent to her. She had ordered the Clusters of Flowers set and happily flaunted it. The dress, once unfolded, wafted with a light floral fragrance, the base mainly of red and jade white colour. The sleeves and neckline of her jacket were embroidered with butterflies. The lower skirt was embroidered with beautiful flowers only on the right side, as if the beauty stood by the side of a thicket of flowers, attracting colourful butterflies, adding an extra touch of elegance which let the lady wearing the dress look more noble.         The more she looked, the more satisfied Lady Yang felt with the dress. She promptly wore the new dress to attend the banquet that afternoon, unaware of how many people had secretly envied her. Especially at

Chapter 72 Closed in the first month     Lady Jin sighed: "No, it just feels as if she’s too good."     "This slave is dumb, is this person not good?"     "Nothing of the sort. I just sighed because I don’t know what kind of family can cultivate such an exquisite person." When Mu Yunyao had sent the two maids back, she was glad and felt that the timing was just right, then when she carefully thought, she always felt that there were other hidden meanings in Mu Yunyao's action.     Mu Yunyao already held the two people's sale deeds and afterwards had found them betraying their own master. Even if she was hindered by her reputation, she could still dispose of them in advance and just informed her later, there was no need to send them back.     But Mu Yunyao sent them back, so she could not help but guessed that Mu Yunyao knew of her wanting to deal with the servants, so gave her a ready-made excuse to secretly sell her a good fav

Chapter 71 Leaving the last decision to the owner     Just yesterday she said that she would temporarily close Niyunfang. It would not be a problem to go there later today hence, Mu Yunyao nodded. "Then let's go, don't let the Lady wait."     Lady Jin was watching the flowers in the yard when Mu Yunyao arrived, and a smile immediately bloomed on her face: "How many days have I not see you and you’d lost a lot of weight? At this age when you’re growing up that you should always pay attention to your body foundation, otherwise It’ll be too late to regret it later.”     “Greetings to my Lady,” Mu Yunyao got up after the ceremony and then answered the Lady’s question. “There are so many things in Niyunfang in these two days. Sometimes I’m too busy to even had a sip of water, but now it’s fine. I’ve decided to close Niyunfang for two months, finish the clothes on hand, and while I’m at it, I will carefully take care of myself.”     “You’re still

Chapter 70   She has her own ideas Shi - mister. Siye - Fourth Lord     Yue Wang just saw Mu Yunyao’s eyes lit up with joy. The light was so dazzling that the people who saw it could not help but feel relaxed. He was stunned for a while and then quickly collected his thoughts.     Mu Yunyao thought carefully: "At present, only one will be opened in Jingling City, only 50 people are needed."     "Do you want to open a tea house in other places?"     "If it is successful here, I want to open other tea houses all over in the Dali Dynasty!" Mu Yunyao slightly tilted her head, her eyes filled with smiles, and she blurted out the thoughts in her heart as if she was joking.     "You are really ambitious." Yue Wang did not take her words seriously. Everyone from the scholars, farmers, artisans and merchants, with the merchants at the bottom rank, wanted to trade all over Dali dynasty, There were very few successful businessme
