Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife Ch 75

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 recently we are shorthanded. You work hard all day long. If we can get more people to share the burden, it would be great."

    Seeing that they are still hesitant, Mu Yunyao glanced at Jin Lan: "I have heard that you still have a sister?"

    "Yes, she was young and she was not picked by Lady Jin at that time. Fortunately, her body is weak and her frame did not grow. She had not been sold to a slave broker. Us two sisters saved up some money and she went to the broker to purchase some people. She temporarily set them standby first before we rare able to arrange a place for them to settle down. "

    “She’s also twelve years old, which is an appropriate age to start learning embroidery. I believe in your sisters conducts. You can bring them over later and help with the chores. If there’s some talent, maybe they can surpass both of you?"

    Jin Lan and Jin Qiao quickly got up and saluted: "Thank you for your grace, Miss!"

    "Get up," Mu Yunyao looked at the other apprentices. "If you have suitable candidates, you can bring them together, but those people should be carefully chosen. Try not to pick those with lots of thoughts. However, if something really does go wrong, I will not blame you. After all, this person is separated from you in the belly, it’s possible you can’t truly see their nature." When these people come later, she would naturally choose carefully and it was impossible to completely choose the good ones.

    "Yes, thank you for your grace, Miss."

    Mu Yunyao did not think that there would be many people coming, but in the afternoon, she saw twenty or thirty people gathered in the hall, and could not help but a little stunned. Originally, she studied these embroidery stitches in order to produce the finished products to help her achieve her goals, but did not think that these skills, put in the hands of others, could be also be relied on to earn silver and survive.

    So many people, Niyunfang could not fit them all at once. So, she let Liu Liang go to the broker and purchase a yard not far away. The yard house was rather old, but it was not a problem as it was just meant to act as a shelter from the wind and rain. Mu Yunyao arranged these people there, and then let Jin Lan take some ordinary needle and thread and embroidery cloth to teach them some simple needlework methods.

    Mu Yunyao thought about how these people should be arranged until Su Qing came over: "Yao’er, won’t you let me teach them?"

    "Mother? Your joints hurt when you hold the needle and thread. Now although you can handle some of them again, but you shouldn't be overworked. I'll arrange something for these people."

    "It's just teaching them some stitchings, it’s more talking and not much hard work. You can rest assured that the mother has a sense of propriety and will not tire my own self.  Watching you embroidering these days, I've seen a lot. I'll teach them for the time being. You see, if there's something wrong with the teaching, then correct it."

    Seeing Su Qing’s firm look, Mu Yunyao nodded: "Alright, then the mother will teach them first, but you have to pay special attention not to overdo it. If I find that you’re tired, I’ll drive them out immediately!"

    "Okay, it’s up to you." Originally, after sorting out the books, Su Qing had nothing to do SHe was idle and bored. Teaching these little girls was also a way to solve the boredom.

    And she had just seen that some of the little girls wore patched old clothes. It looked like they were in a poor family, so that they could learn a skill and would not have to work hard and spend their lives in misery.

Nowadays, it was not easy for women to get a foothold in this world. Especially for some poor families, when their daughters have grown up, they would exchange them for money in haste. As for how the girls fare after they married over, it has nothing to do with them anymore. It was really a pity.

    In the beginning, after Mu Cheng passed away, she was afraid that Yunyao would end up like that too. She did not know how long she had been worried. Now life was better. If she could pull them, she would pull them properly. She was just tired. For them, she might change their life.

    In the next few days, in the city of Jingling, the discussion about Niyunfang gradually subsided. After all, the door was closed, they had the curiosity but could not see through the door.

    In two days, another news exploded like thunder in Jingling City. which said that he bullied good, put money, and occupied other people’s fields. There are more than a dozen counts of Lin Lin’s total crimes. A peasant household entrusted someone to write a paper and told Tan Lu, the shopkeeper of Caiyue Pavilion, to the Yamen. The letter wrote that he had committed more than a dozen crimes, such as bullying, taking some benefits for themselves, and occupying other people's land and property and numerous other charges.

Yamen - administrative office

    Although Caiyue Pavilion was repeatedly suppressed by Niyunfang during this period, it still occupies the number one Xiufang in Jingling City. If something happens to Caiyue Pavilion, one did not know how many Xiufang would cheer.

Xiufang - embroidery shops

    Jin Lan reported the news to Mu Yunyao: "Miss, have you heard that the Caiyue Pavilion’s shopkeeper already went to the Yamen..."

    Mu Yunyao had a shallow smile: "Just now, Jin Qiao already asked it. However, although the letter is handed over, the ending is not necessarily successful."

    "The slave heard that the county magistrate of the presiding judge is Lady Chen’s husband, who like Cao Daren, is an upright disposition. He would surely find out the truth of the matter and severely punish the vicious shopkeeper."

Daren - title for superior

    Lady Chen had bought and talked about the clothes before. Meeting again, she looked much happier than before. At the Qixi festival banquet, she even specially came over and chatted with her for a while. Lady Jin also said half-jokingly that she had successfully grabbed Lady Chen’s heart.

    Mu Yunyao did not deliberately pay attention to the shopkeeper of Caiyue Pavilion. She had already done the work. As long as the husband of Lady Chen did not bend the law, the Caiyue Pavilion would be badly affected this time.

    The 50 people who Yue Wang had found were already arranged in the Jinxiu Garden and was temporarily managed by Qin Guan. She found a few places that were being resold but could not find a suitable tea house.

    Jiangnan loves tea and there were many teahouses in Jingling City. If she can't stand out, it's meaningless to open this teahouse. Mu Yunyao thought about it. She wondered whether she should go to Jinxiu Garden again. The teahouse also had a great impact on Yue Wang. She should also ask for his opinions.

    After all, there was a big flag behind her that she could pull at, but it was not her style to push that willful person and let herself be distressed. But if there was a road that could make it less difficult, it was silly not to use it!

*****

 

     In the Jinxiu Garden, Yu Heng reported to Yue Wang: "My Lord, Mu girl helped the old couple to write a piece of letter and pointing them to the Yamen’s door to complain, and then they did not intervene. However, this subordinate investigated that the shopkeeper of Caiyue Pavilion is indeed not really good, secretly swindled money, in private forced a lot of people to death, and also occupied a lot of lands. If it’s strictly investigated, afraid that the Caiyue Pavilion in the Jingling City will be able to open anymore."
