Chapter 42
After packing up properly, Mu Yunyao and Lady Jin rode in the same carriage to the Patrol of the Manor. When they arrived, there were already many guests that were chatting softly.
As soon as the two of them entered, they were called to the main hall by the steward's personal maid.
Mu Yunyao followed suit and bowed. After she stood up, her eyes quickly swept across the place and found that the Matriarch Constable was wearing exactly the clothes she was wearing. Her green dress was simple and elegant, coupled with carefully selected jewelry and carefully described makeup, it made her look especially elegant and refined.
"I assume you're the young lady that Lady Jin often praises."
Mu Yunyao stepped forward once again to pay her respects, "My humble daughter, Mu Yunyao, greets Madam."
Seeing her well-mannered manner, the matron was satisfied. "No wonder you were able to get Lady Jin to praise you so highly. You are indeed a cute little girl. I like your clothes very much. I'll have to trouble you in the future."
Mu Yunyao's face was filled with fear, "I can't accept this Madam's words of vexation. I haven't even thanked you for your bestowal."
"It is all due to you. Rest assured. As long as your clothes are properly made, I will definitely not let you down."
"Yes, ma'am." Mu Yunyao naturally knew that she wouldn't be at a disadvantage. These wives were the most willing to spend money on clothes and accessories, and not even a few thousand taels of silver a year came by. Otherwise, she wouldn't choose to make clothes to earn money.
Mu Yunyao tactfully followed the maidservant out of the room when she saw Madam Fu pulling on Lady Jin's arm and talking to her. Her seat was at the end of the table, and since she was dressed simply and had a fresh face, no one approached her for a moment.
She sat there obediently, tasting the delicate snacks and the fragrant tea. For a while, she was quite at ease.
Since it was the Flower Viewing Banquet, there were naturally all kinds of rare flowers. The most eye-catching ones were two pots of peonies, one pot of Wei Zi, and the other of Yao Huang. They all amazed.
Mu Yunyao watched silently, wondering if she could use these two tricks to help her mother make her clothes. With her mother's beauty, she would definitely be a beauty that could suppress most of the people present.

Now that he thought about it, his mother really didn't look like the Su Clan. Her appearance was elegant and pretty, like a peony Yao Huang. She was elegant and proper. Even though she was born in the countryside, she still carried an indescribable unique aura. The women of the Su Clan, on the other hand, were slightly more charming, especially their eyes.
The banquet started with soft laughter and the atmosphere was especially harmonious. Mu Yunyao also restrained her thoughts as she took this opportunity to carefully size up the ladies and misses who had come to attend the banquet.
From now on, he had to earn money from them. He had to remember everyone's appearance and temperament before he could make clothes that were more fitting and earn more money.
During this period of time, Mrs Jin did not know who she was talking to, but she attracted everyone's gaze towards her from time to time. Fortunately, she was not a real little girl, or else they would have been frightened by her gaze.
When the banquet ended and Madam Jin was pulled over by Madam Gu to speak, Mu Yunyao waited at the door. Not long after, several maids came over and asked, "Are you Miss Mu?"
"Yes, I wonder why my sisters are looking for me?"
"My wife wants to buy some of the rose nectar you gave her. I wonder how much it would cost?"
"I made it myself. Because it was done meticulously, I needed a lot of rose petals. I didn't make much and used up all of them. Sorry, sisters." Mu Yunyao embarrassedly refused.
Several maids frowned but did not say much. They turned around and left for their respective carriages.
When Lady Jin came out, she saw Mu Yunyao's worried expression. "What happened?"
"Madam, a few female attendants just asked me for the Rose Fragrance Dew, but my hands are already gone. They shouldn't be angry, right?"
Looking at her slightly perturbed expression, Madam Jin inwardly laughed. She was still a girl after all, and upon seeing the scene of today, she couldn't help but say, "It's alright. You can cook some more. "Speaking of which, it's my fault. Since someone asked me at the banquet, I raised my voice. I didn't expect it to spread so fast."
"The making of the Rose Dew is really cumbersome. I can't take into account the fact that I have to focus on making clothes right now." Yun Yao has a presumptuous request, I hope madam will agree. "
"Hmm?"
"Yunyao wants to give Madam the method of making the Rose Fragrance Dew."
Lady Jin looked at her with a profound look in her eyes. "Rui Bao Xuan's top-grade perfume bottles cost ten gold apiece, and the rose nectar you make is even more superior than it. It can be said that by holding this recipe, you'll be holding a golden lump."
Mu Yunyao's expression was the same as usual. "I've always been under Madam's care. If this recipe is really as expensive as you say, then it'll be my thanks to Madam."
"Good. If you encounter any troubles in the future, come to the Cao family and find me. In the Tomb City, my words will be of use."
A rose perfume formula for Lady Jin's promise. Mu Yunyao felt that it was worth it, so she happily opened her mouth and said, "Thank you Madam."
She followed Madam Jin back to Cao's mansion and wrote down the recipe before leaving for home.
Mu Yunyao had said that it was her fortune to meet her, but to him, meeting her was also a kind of opportunity. This rose fragrance formula could be of great help to her.
When Mu Yunyao returned home, Su Qing was anxiously waiting at the door. Seeing that Mu Yunyao had returned safely, she heaved a sigh of relief. "Yao`er, are you alright?"
Mu Yunyao couldn't help but find it funny. "Mother, I'm going to attend the Flower Lover Banquet, not the battlefield. What can I do?"
"I heard from someone that these deep courtyard houses are a lot more cruel than the battlefield."
"Hehe, who is it that's blabbering away for mother? Let's see how I'll punish her!" The ten female disciples had been here for a long time, and Su Qing had grown closer to them.
"Alright, alright. It's good that you're fine."
Seeing how worried Su Qing was, Mu Yunyao carefully told her about what had happened at the banquet. She even told her who was at odds with whom, and who was secretly at odds with whom, and who was at odds with whom.
"Mother, don't worry. I've already gotten Lady Jin's promise. In the future, if you have any difficulties in the Tomb City, you can go and find her."
Su Qing was happy when she heard this. "Lady Jin is Cao Zhizhou's official wife. If she is willing to help you, that would be for the best. However, she wouldn't be so kind-hearted for no reason, right?"
Separating herself from the simple environment of the Weir Village, she knew that every word spoken by this person was a form of learning. It was still too early for the merchants to make a profit, let alone the dignified Madame Zhizhou. If there were no benefits, why would she take the initiative to help a little girl?
