Chapter 68   Booming business

    Mu Yunyao had just arrived at Neiyunfang and saw a lot of people crowding around the door so that it was hard to get in. She saw the busy Jin Lan and Jin Qiao with six ladies in the hall. Noticing Mu Yunyao, Jin Qiao rushed to the front and looked a little panicked: "Miss, these six ladies all want to order custom-made clothes, saying that they can add more money to have the clothes within seven days."

    But they were understaffed, now that both Jin Qiu and Jin Ju had been sent back, it was simply impossible to produce so many clothes in seven days. Mu Yunyao nodded in acknowledgement, and then went to the six ladies to salute: "Greetings to the ladies, the requirements of the ladies have been clear, but Neiyunfang strives for excellence, every pin on the clothes, every silk pattern, they must be exquisite, so we can't make so many sets of clothes in seven days, asking the ladies for forgiveness."

    Someone looked down: "I heard that Lady Yang can get her clothes in seven days, do you think that we can’t add more money? If you can’t accept two hundred silver, then we can pay three hundred silver or five hundred silver, anyway, the sooner we can get the clothes, the better."

   Mu Yunyao’s smile did not falter: "There are many excellent embroidery shops in the Jingling City, in terms of fame, Niyunfang is no better than Caiyue Pavilion [Colour Moon Pavillion], but ma’am would rather abandon Caiyue Pavilion and come to my embroidery shop. Naturally, it is because ma’am fancies our craftsmanship. If the work is rushed, the clothes made cannot satisfy the lady, wouldn’t the ladies’ waiting to be in vain if the clothes can’t live up to your expectations."

    "Even if that’s the case, but to wait that long, then ...... "

    "Although it will take longer, but we will ensure that within a month we’ll have the clothes sent to all of you ladies," Mu Yunyao signalled to Jin Lan, "Go upstairs to prepare six bottles of fragrant rose dew. Ma’ams, to apologize, we will be giving you a bottle of fragrant rose dew per person. Please take it as a small gift, and I ask the ladies not to despise it. "

    "Rose dew? Are you talking about the kind sold in Lady Jin’s shop?"

    "Yes."

    The faces of several ladies suddenly brightened. For a small bottle of fragrant rose dew cost a dozen or so of silver. Although this was not expensive in their eyes however they could not get their hands on things that were low in supply. If you went to Lady Jin’s shop, you have to queue for a long time, even then the item could not necessarily be bought successfully.

    And the Mu Yunyao in front of them was not an ordinary person. She had a very close relationship with Lady Jin. Do not say a month, even if it was two months before she could send her clothes, looking at her craft and Lady Jin’s face, they also would not dare to speak out.

    Today they got a bottle of rose dew, and with Mu Yunyao's attitude being respectful, they felt refreshed and naturally no longer had anything more to say.

    "Then we’re thankful to Mu girl again," the six people were sent away, and the two ladies who had been invited in advance came. Today, two sets of clothes were Zai Shui Yifang [On The Water Side] and Deng Xia Juan [Beneath the Lamp Shade]. The two ladies were warm and gentle, with a trace of melancholy, put on the two sets of elaborate clothes, so that people waiting to see the excitement at the door can not help exclaiming; it seems that no matter how ugly you were, in Niyunfang, you could turn beautiful like magic!

    Just like these two ladies, before, their temperament and appearance were dull. But after they came out from the Niyunfang, once you looked at them, one felt like life had been unfair, it left one feeling unsatisfied from just that glance and made one desire for more and left them speechless...

    Yesterday, Xuan Fu's [head of Xuan manor] young mistress got a stunning red dress which dazzled the entire Jingling City, one does not know how many people were attracted to it. Nowadays, many bookstores have published the beautiful pictures of Ding Yuelan’s figure in the red dress, which became a good attraction for the books.

    Among the people at the entrance, there were many Danqing [painting] masters. Once they saw a lady coming out, they would carefully observe her appearance and drew a picture of a beautiful person. Even if they could not sell it to a bookstore, many people were still willing to pay for them to be brought home and be appreciated.

    The entirety of Jiangnan was rich, thus the social customs of the people were also wider and more tolerant. Those who were painted as beautiful pictures would even secretly pay attention to whose painting sold better.

    After Mu Yunyao heard this, she just smiled lightly. Anyway, it was beneficial for Niyunfang, and she was too lazy to care about it.

    On this day, the shop welcomed many extraordinary guests. Mu Yunyao still wanted to take a nap for a while. Unfortunately, she was unexpectedly too busy to even have a cup of tea. It was not easy to wait until the sky was dark when she could finally send all the ladies away.

    Mu Yunyao leaned on the chair, feeling so tired that she did not want to move. Jin Lan stepped forward and helped her massaged her shoulders and arms: "Miss, this slave will help with the massage and let miss relax."

   "Don't bother. You’ve also been working tirelessly for a day. Sit down and have a rest." Mu Yunyao gestured Jin Lan to sit down, and then called other apprentices. "Today, a total of 15 sets of clothes were ordered, and it will take a month to finish all the work. Fortunately, I have expected this situation beforehand and the patterns are not too complicated, but it also needs to be extraordinarily elaborated. I will hang up the sign tomorrow. In the next month, Niyunfang will not receive the guests again. Let’s work on the orders in our hands first. "

    “Yes, Miss. "

    “Miss, you don’t look so well, go back and rest earlier, the clothes can wait until tomorrow. "

    Mu Yunyao had a little headache and could not help but rubbed a finger on her forehead: "Alright, I know, you girls also have to rest early."

    "Yes."

    Mu Yunyao did not allow Jin Lan and Jin Qiao to follow her. After all, the ten female apprentices all lived on the third floor of Niyunfang. If the two were to send her home, they would need to make an unnecessary trip to return here again.

    In the carriage, Mu Yunyao leaned against the wall of the carriage with her eyes closed.

    Liu Liang’s voice outside of the carriage door sounded: "Master..." He rarely speaks, so his voice sounded hoarse and stiff.

    Mu Yunyao suddenly opened his eyes, heard the call and her eyes flashed with a bright light: "What happened?"

    "Last night this slave’s protection was poor, asking the master to punish."

    "Your poor performance of protecting the master, how do you think the punishment should be carried out?"

    Liu Liang was silent, as if unsure how to answer.

    Mu Yunyao was not in a hurry, so while leaning against the wall of the carriage, she quietly waited for his answer.

    After a while, Liu Liang finally said: "Master, please guide me."

    Mu Yunyao slowly sat up straight, the smile on the face faded, the face has the childishness of a thirteen-year-old, but a touch of elegance had begun to show: "I thought you would say that there will be no more adverse situation for the master in the future?"

    "The ability to do so is still lacking."

    "Good, you are just one person, you want to protect me and my mother, and you can't enter the backyard, even with your martial arts, sometimes it is also beyond the reach of the whip (too far to be able to help), so why don’t you find more people?"

    Mu Yunyao carefully thought about the current situation. She had just opened the Niyunfang, and  15 sets of clothes were already ordered in the past two days, after calculating the cost, she could earn more than 20,000 silver. In other people's eyes, it was already very good, but she felt it was still very slow.

    Each piece of the clothing took too long to finish, so she would not be able to rest day and night due to concentrating on the embroidery, and the money she earned was far from enough. From the current point of view, the opening of her Niyunfang was undoubtedly successful. Now it was only in Jingling City, but it had already become a place for families to fight to spend money. If Niyunfang was the size of the Caiyue Pavilion, it would definitely become a fat cash cow. Just, the process takes a long time, and she did not have much time to wait.

    Now she has a good relationship with Lady Jin, and through Niyun beauty list, she had sent good gifts to the ladies. The relationship between them has been preliminarily sorted out. By the time the clothes were finished, the cost accumulated should be about enough for her to take the next step. What's more, now that she had the banner of Yue Wang, it would be a pity not to use it.
