Chapter 88 Initial show of strength

Editor: Angel

    When Yu Heng got the letter, he was very surprised. The writing on the envelope was clearly written by Qin Guan, but the name inscribed was Mu Yunyao, in the end, who sent it? 

    He was about to take it to the prince, but saw Old Cheng rushing over to see the letter in Yu Heng’s hand. His face bloomed into a flower as he smiled. After losing one of his eyes, his face looked sinister and he had even lost a lot of weight. This smile of his could stop children's crying at night. 

    "Cheng gonggong, this letter seems to have been sent by Qin Guan shi. I’m going to take it to the master..." 

    "I know, I know. This old slave will send it to the prince by myself." Cheng gonggong’s heart was excited. Old Qin wrote to him in a letter explaining the situation in Jingling City. He was looking forward to this letter day and night. Finally today, he could take it to see whether the master has any special reaction to it. 

    In the study, Yue Wang was sorting out the military reports of the past two days. Western Guangdong was located at the border of three kingdoms, Northern Xinjiang, Nantong and Yunnu. The environment was bitter and cold and its produce was not rich. It was a bit better in summer. Bandits often commit riots in winter. There was only a governor of Western Guangdong and a civil official here. Therefore, it was necessary for him to defend the border himself. 

    "Your Highness, this old slave has something to report." 

    "Come in." 

   "Gonggong, what happened?" When he saw Cheng Gonggong walked in, the prince raised his head. He was always very patient with the elderly who served him. 

    Cheng gonggong quickly handed over the letters in his hand: "Today, I received a letter from Jingling City’s Old Qin, one of which was specially addressed to Your Highness." 

    After receiving the letter, Yue Wang raised his eyebrows. In his daily correspondence with his subordinates, he usually demanded for conciseness and comprehensiveness, so it would be good to have only a page per letter. Now that this letter was in his hand felt quite heavy, made him felt somewhat unexpected. When he opened the letter and saw the handwriting inside, his eyebrows jump.

    Cheng gonggong looked at his face and his heart was secretly excited. Old Qin finally made a dependable thing. Watching the look of Wang Ye, this affair genuinely had a chance for it to be true for the master! 

(TN: why is it that the eunuchs in this story are particularly funny and active in matchmaking their master??? Why can’t I find such servants in other stories ggggggg. Usually they would not dare to act shamelessly since it’s still in the early stages but they’re so active here wow! They’re noisier than asian aunties...)

    The contents of the letter were very detailed. From the number of orders in Niyunfang, what kind of clothes were made, how they were sought after in Jingling City, what place was changed in Jinxiu Garden, how many beautiful sceneries were arranged, and even what kind of snacks used by Qin Guan to entertain her was written.

    Usually, Yue Wang would already be very impatient to read such a long letter, but Mu Yunyao wrote this letter with his own handwriting. Looking at it, there was an immersive feeling, making him feel like he was there with Mu Yunyao experiencing everything in Jingling City. Unconsciously, he read the letter. 

    When Yue Wang read the end of the letter again, he always felt that there was some underlying meaning in it. The letter stated that Mu Yunyao began to teach the Jingling City women's embroidery needle techniques. So what happened? Was it possible? What dangers would there be after doing this? If she opened the tea house, could she be busier? And how to solve Ding Yuelan’s problem? He remembered that Zhou Ao was the person who was inserted by Jin Wang... 

    A series of fragmented questions, bit by bit filled his heart, made Yue Wang felt particularly uncomfortable. 

    Cheng Gonggong tried to restrain the expression on his face, and said, as if unintentionally: "Your Highness, there will be some letters to be sent as replies to Jingling City tomorrow. Would Your Highness please write a reply quickly later, so that it would be just in time to send it by tomorrow morning." 

    Yue Wang nodded, wondering whether it was better to leave the uncomfortable feeling in his heart or it would be better to ask directly. However, by the time his letter arrived, it was estimated that the dust had settled. (TN: to get sorted out. It’s the fate of long-distance relationship in ancient time…. Sigh… I pity you XD)

    Cheng Gonggong smiled like a flower: “This old slave will retire first. When Your Highness finish writing the letter, just call this old slave.” 

    “Good.” 

*****

    Mu Yunyao did not know that her carelessly written letter actually attracted the attention of Yue Wang. At this time she was in the Jinxiu Garden, checking the first batch of tea from the tea plantation.

    This batch of tea was in accordance with her method, and commanded people to fry it. She grabbed some tea leaves and lightly sniffed it. A pure and clean tea fragrant assailed her nose. 

    Qin Guan accompanied her with a smile on the side, watching the tea bloomed in the exquisite porcelain jar, he felt very comfortable. He was also a person who usually enjoyed tea in ordinary days. Naturally, he was curious about the quality of these teas? It is because of this that he felt particularly surprised that these tea leaves were a little more pleasant than the tea leaves he had drunk, and the fragrance of the tea felt richer. If you looked at them, you would have an impulse to drink a cup.

    After seeing the tea had no problems, Mu Yunyao turned to look at Qin Guan: "Qin Guan shi, I’ll bother you to call over the fifty people that were prepared." 

    "Alright. Mu girl please wait." 

    Soon fifty young boys and girls gathered in front of the pavilion, looking at Mu Yunyao in the pavilion calmly, as if she were a wooden person with no feelings. 

    Looking at their faces, Mu Yunyao couldn't help but admire them. Really worthy to be Yue Wang's people. Their temperament was extremely rare. She stood up and went up to the steps at the edge of the pavilion, looking at the people below with indifferent eyes. 

    Qin Guan’s heart was anxious and as he took two steps forward and was about to speak, he looked at Mu Yunyao's eyes. He looked at her and found that there was a smile in her eyes. When she found his gaze, she shook her head slightly. 

    Qin Guan had to retreat but he secretly regretted it in his heart. These days, he only paid close attention to the situation of Jinxiu Garden and had even forgotten to teach these people well. 

    They were transferred out to open a tea house here and collect information for Wang Ye, but they didn't know they had to listen to Mu Yunyao's instructions. 

    Mu Yunyao stood on the steps and did not make a sound. She only looked at them with a gaze, and the whole body brought out a stern colour. The longer the time, the more fierce and heavy it was, and gradually it made people feel But the illusion of anger. 

    At first, the people below were calm, but as time went on, some people could not help feeling a little restless. 

    Mu Yunyao's line of sight was not intimidatingly strong, but it was very clear and indifferent to look over them, until they felt that they could not ignore it. A while later, they only felt their heart was palpitating with fear.

    After a while, a man and a woman stood out in the front row and saluted Mu Yunyao with slightly stiff movements: 

    "Wei Yi greets young miss Mu." 

    "Yun Chun greets young miss Mu." 

    Mu Yunyao retracted her gaze: "Are you two people who were selected to separately manage the others?” 

    “Yes!” 

    “If this is the case, then what do you think about their lack of manners today?” 

    Wei Yi and Yun Chun subconsciously looked at Qin Guan but found that he was standing behind Mu Yunyao with his hands down and eyebrows down. Obviously, he would not take care of this matter. 

    The two of them were shocked. Seriously speaking, they obeyed the orders of their master and did not put Mu Yunyao in their eyes. So, when they were just called in, they did not salute her first. Today, it seemed that this step was wrong. 

    "Asking young miss to punish us if we make a mistake." 

     Seeing Wei Yi and Yun Chun half-kneeling down, other people also hurriedly followed to salute. 

    "All of you get up," Mu Yunyao did not deliberately ask them to kneel. After seeing them salute, she immediately made a sound and let them stand up. "You are all following Siye, and suddenly hasveto come over to follow me. There are certainly many unfamiliar things and I can understand it. But, I will never tolerate them. From today onwards, your master is me. You must accept and agree with your heart. In the future, no matter what happens, keep this in mind. Only then can the tea house can be safely opened!"

TN: Guys I got lazy to translate everything like Wang Ye to your Highness, Guniang to Young Miss etc etc. 😂 Please excuse my inconsistency. At least I’ll always provide the translation if I'm too lazy to change the way they address others ahah. Actually the way Qin Guan addressing Yunyao is Mu Guniang which is Young Miss Mu but the way the machine translate them directly is just "Mu girl" so I went along with it.... 🙈
Ohoho look at those eunuchs being more proactive than their master. They should have been able to find their own beloved but alas, eunuch can’t have a family. Pity them XDDDDDDD
