Chapter 51
Two days later, Mu Yunyao went to the Cao residence . The gatekeeper politely asked her to wait for a moment . Not long later, the servant that Mu Yunyao saw with Lady Jin at Colour Moon Shop the other day walked towards her . “Miss, come this way, Lady Jin has been waiting for a while . ”
“Thank you . ” Mu Yunyao was unbothered by the disdain in the servant’s eyes .
(T/N: Actually, Mu Yunyao refers to the servant as “姐姐” . It is used to refer to a female who is older than the person speaking . But it also means older sister, so I kind of just left it out to avoid confusion . But Mu Yunyao is being quite polite to the servant . )
Lady Jin was wearing light pink everyday clothing . She seemed especially pleasant .
“Mu Yunyao greets Lady . ”
“There is no need for such formalities . I didn’t know that your name was Mu Yunyao . It is a nice name . ” Lady Jin was also studying her . Mu Yunyao was wearing a light purple dress with violet patterns embroidered onto it . As she walked, the stamen of the violets actually had a hint of red in them . If one were to look carefully, the fabric was hollowed out at the flower stamens to show a little of the petticoat . Thus, the flowers looked so lifelike . The person who made this was very talented .
“My thanks to Lady Jin . May I be allowed to take your measurements now? Such a perfect figure like yours is very rare, I am really excited to make clothes for you and see the effect the clothes will have . ”
“Alright, let’s start . ”
The way Mu Yunyao spoke was not as respectful as others would, but her words were able to make people happy . After she finished measuring and chatted with Lady Jin for a while, Mu Yunyao left the residence with the gifts Lady Jin gave to her in hand .
Lady Jin wanted to wear the clothes at the provincial governor’s wife’s banquet, which is held twenty days later . Mu Yunyao needed at least half a month to make the clothes and the remaining few days to do corrections .
Mu Yunyao had already told Lady Jin her address, but not once did Lady Jin send people to check on her, causing Su Qing to become very worried .
Mu Yunyao did not know how to explain to her Mother that people like Lady Jin would always ensure that everything is watertight . Although Lady Jin had asked Mu Yunyao to make clothes for her, she would definitely also have many backup clothes that could replace Mu Yunyao’s at anytime when needed .
But anyway, it is Mu Yunyao that needs Lady Jin the most, thus there was no reason for Mu Yunyao to not try her best, which itself is a good reason for Lady Jin to not have any worries about the clothing .
Twenty days was also enough for Colour Moon Shop’s shopkeeper to do a background check on Mu Yunyao . “A mother and daughter pair that suddenly came to Jingling City? Anything else?”
“I was unable to find anymore information . ”
“Unable to find more information? You can’t even do such a small thing such as this? Why would I need you then? If then came by water, then go ask the boat company, if they came by land than go ask the carriage company . In the end, you will get something . Or what, did they suddenly just drop from the sky?”
“I heard that they came by water, but I was unable to find any information on which boat company they used . ”
“You……can’t find it?” The shopkeeper tapped his chin . “Fine, for the moment, we shall not do anything . I want to see what can such a little girl do! Has the people at the Capital replied us yet?”
“Yes, they have . The newest clothes are already on their way here . ”
“Good . The people who have the ability to to steal my business isn’t on this planet yet!” The shopkeeper smiled, satisfied . He went up the stairs while humming a little tune .
Twenty days later, Mu Yunyao brought the clothing and visited Cao residence . However, this time, she had to wait at the gates a little longer .
When Mu Yunyao saw Lady Jin, she noticed that she was wearing much nicer clothes . To add on to that, the servant was putting teacups away . It seems that Lady Jin had been with another guest . “Greeting to Lady . ”
“I have made you wait for too long, I was hosting another guest . Are the clothes finished?”
