Chapter 85 Signing a contract "I really can’t lie to my Lady. I don't know exactly what happened, but when I changed the clothes for you that day, I accidentally caught your wrist and found that your body was cold and stagnant. It should be caused by something that was improperly taken, and the period of taking it was not short. That's why you have no children even after so many years, and there’s also some unclean things on your clothes... That wouldn’t be by your own initiative." Ding Yuelan's lips trembled, and it took a while to open her mouth: "...Can you tell me what is the unclean thing on my clothes?" "Your purse smells like lilacs, but in fact it is mixed with sedge, and your clothes have traces of being soaked in sedge juice. In the long run, it hurts your body’s constitution and harms your life." Ding Yuelan was silent but her tears could not stop falling: "I’ve thought that they were cruel, but I did not expect them to be so merciless to this level!" Mu Yunyao sat quietly and accompanied Ding Yuelan. It was only nearly half an hour later that Ding Yuelan stopped her flow of tears, and her face gradually became firm: "Young lady, is the contract you gave is still valid?" "Naturally it’s still valid." Mu Yunyao took out the contract and spread it in front of Ding Yuelan. Then she went to the side to take a brush and ink, "The fingerprints have already been stamped, now we only need to sign your name on it." Ding Yuelan wiped away her tears, took a deep breath and slightly bit her lip. Then, she picked up the brush and quickly wrote down the three words of Ding Yuelan. Her handwriting was not the favorite flowery script that was most liked by the women nowadays, rather, her characters were like moving clouds and running water (Idiom: very carefree style of handwriting). "Ding Yuelan ... all words are like their own people. The Lady's characters are very imposing and broad, it’s really amazing!" (TN: all in all, she’s saying that Ding Yuelan’s characters seems imposing and alive on their own, such that it actually reflects her own actual temperament is also lofty and carefree person) "In front of you, I’m just like displaying one’s slight skill in front of an expert. I’ve heard from Madame Su that the three characters of Niyunfang comes from your hand.” (TN: remember the murderous writings on Niyunfang’s sign that attracted Yue Wang? Yeap xD)
Mu Yunyao smiled softly and saw a crack in Ding Yuelan’s eyes. Her heart felt slightly relaxed. She really didn’t want to see a noble, lonely and proud woman, trapped in love and eventually got destroyed by it: "We should not sit here and flatter each other. There are a lot of things in the store waiting to be done. Lady, you can keep crying for a while, then go to the counter to handle the affairs. " Ding Yuelan was dumbfounded and she could not help but laugh: “With this kind of owner, we’ll soon be able to make lots of money in Niyunfang.” “If we can really earn so much money, I will generously give dozens of sets of clothes to shopkeeper Ding, so that you can wear different set of clothes everyday, and amaze the whole Jingling City!" " “Then I’ll have to thank the little owner in advance." Mu Yunyao smiled and bent her eyes. When she went out of the room, she considerately closed the door. Ding Yuelan sat quietly for a long while, and suddenly broke out in a bitter laugh. She wondered whether it was because she was hurt too deeply that she did not even feel as sad as she had imagined. She simply washed up in the basin and went to the counter to settle the account. In the next few days, Ding Yuexin did not come again, but the news about Ding Yuelan and Zhou Xuan Fu’s separation was spread more and more intensely. Ding Yuelan seemed totally indifferent, even if someone pointed at her at the entrance of Niyunfang, she pretended to not see them. After sorting out the accounts, she followed Mu Yunyao to learn embroidery. Nevertheless, although her temper was not rigid, she had a special talent for embroidery. In addition, when she was in her boudoir, she was specially instructed by a teacher. With a little help from Mu Yunyao, she made rapid progress and soon surpassed Jin Lan and Jin Qiao. Mu Yunyao looked at the clothes in Ding Yuelan's hands and sighed: "If I knew shopkeeper Ding had such skill in craftsmanship, I would not have sold the Zouma Guandeng set to you!" “The little owner is joking. Although this dress is embroidered by me, the pattern is from your hand. If I had to draw a pattern to embroider by myself, a butterfly can be embroidered into a crab." Ding Yuelan was smiling. She had a gorgeous face, so when she smiled, her eyes were brighter and her face glowed with liveliness. Jin Lan and Jin Qiao snickered, Ding Yuelan’s embroidery skills were really good, but the premise was to draw a good pattern for her to embroider. If there was no pattern, she could really embroider a butterfly into a crab. "When you’re embroidering the butterfly, are you thinking of the crabs?" After getting along with Ding Yuelan, Mu Yunyao really liked her temperament. Hence, she usually did not have many scruples when talking with her and so there was a lot of laughter in the whole of Niyunfang. As she finished speaking, there was a sudden noise outside the shop, followed by a knock on the door. As if there was a hunch in her heart, the smile on Ding Yuelan’s face gradually disappeared. Mu Yunyao gave a meaningful look at Liu Liang. Liu Liang nodded and then he went to open the door. Xuan Fu’s Zhou Wei was clad in a dark cyan-colored shirt and wearing a jade crown, with a handsome face and a graceful appearance, completely unlike a military officer. Ding Yuelan stood up and tidied up her sleeves and skirts, turned to face Mu Yunyao to say: "Little owner, I want to see him alone and put the matter to a close." Mu Yunyao nodded: "We’re all upstairs. If there’s anything, just call us directly, it will be fine." "Thank you, little owner." Mu Yunyao took the people upstairs and gave a slight hint to Liu Liang on the stairs’ entrance. Liu Liang nodded, holding a long sword, he stood in the hidden place of the stairway. If anything happened, he could jump down and protect the person. Seeing that Mu Yunyao came up, Su Qing put down the embroidery in her hands, with doubts on her face: "Yao’er, aren’t you embroidering downstairs?" "Xuan Fu’s Zhou Daren came and he was meeting with shopkeeper Ding. It’s not convenient to be there, so we all came up." "This...That Zhou Daren should not come here to bully shopkeeper Ding, right?" Su Qing couldn't stop worrying. When she came to Jingling City, she was not familiar with the life here. Although she greeted those ladies and spent time together for a bit, but due to the large status gap the relationship was only superficial. Ding Yuelan was the first real friend she had since arriving in Jingling City. Before in Shi An Village, she had a very good relationship with Yang shi, but many things couldn’t be discussed with her. While with Ding Yuelan, there was always a feeling that even if they didn’t say anything, they could understand each other. In addition, with Ding Yuelan’s way of speaking and doing things with a refreshing energy that she lacked, made her feel subconsciously close and attracted toward her. "Mother doesn't have to worry. Shopkeeper Ding is extremely disciplined in speaking and doing things. If she’s unsure, she will not go to see Zhou Daren alone." "Alas I hope so. I really don't understand, such a good woman, how can Zhou Daren not know how to cherish her?" Mu Yunyao smiled and didn't speak. Many times she also didn't understand but realised that everyone was different after all. For example, the Miss Su of the Su family, she could write poems and paint, that was called talent, and she mingled with men of letters and pose as a lover of culture.... (TN: to be a culture snob. Pfft. How pretentious) Men mostly looked at a woman’s appearance. As long as the girl had the look, there would be someone who would pay attention to her talents and character. In the last life, if she did not break her leg, but ruined her face instead, afraid that she would have been turned into loess (TN: yellow sandy soil typical in North China) in the dark corner of the Su family’s house. Ding Yuelan had talked for nearly half an hour. Mu Yunyao couldn’t stop worrying about it. She was about to call in Liu Liang to inquire about the situation when she heard a sudden bang from downstairs, she quickly opened the door and ran out.
