Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife Chapter 117

Chapter 117

Is Business Booming?

In just a short ten days, Jin Xiu Garden and Bu Xian Luo had been on were all over the entire Jingling City . Every day, a group of people would wait at the entrance of the Jin Xiu Garden to try their luck and see if they could enter Jin Xiu Garden for a cup of tea .

Wei Yi and Yun Chun, who were in charge of brewing tea, also earned the support of a group of people in a short time . Some people have even quarreled because of which Si Cha’s skills were better than others in brewing tea . Steward Qin flipped through the account books every day and only felt that he was shocked . Steward Qin never thought that selling tea would actually bring him large profits . In just a short ten days, he had earned over ten thousand taels of silver, and the reason was that when the opening of the business limited the number of people who can enter Jin Xiu Garden . Otherwise, he would have been able to earn even more .

Mu Yunyao was in the teahouse, looking through the newly delivered tea leaves . These tea leaves were all dried and fried according to her method, and prepared with great responsibility . She was exceptionally meticulous, so the fragrance was extremely pleasing to the nose .

Jin Lan entered the door and reported, “Miss . Shopkeeper Qin is here . ”

“Please ask him to come in . ” Mu Yunyao said as she walked out to welcome them .

“Greetings, Young Miss . ” Steward Qin now had a lot of admiration for Mu Yunyao . He had already written to praise her more than once . He kept urging Eunuch Cheng to beat the drums, telling him to carry the golden doll back as soon as possible, “Young Miss, this is the accounts for more than ten days, do you want to take a look?”

“Isn’t the account counted at the end of the month?” She had already set a 40/60 ratio between her and Yue w.a.n.g earlier . They also did not settle their accounts until the end of the month . Seeing that Steward Qin had brought the account books over now, she could not help but feel surprised .

“Young Miss, quickly take a look . In just a short span of thirteen days, Jin Xiu Garden has earned a net profit of fifteen thousand taels of silver!” Mu Yunyao took over the account books and flipped through it, but she wasn’t that surprised . Anyone who could afford to drink tea was a person with a small family fortune, so she didn’t hold back when it came to pricing . The most expensive Herba Scenting Decoction had sold for three taels of silver a pot . After all, this was something that Governor Zhang and the rest were extremely impressed with, so naturally, it priced at an unordinary price .

To ordinary people, three taels of silver could allow a family of three to live for half a year, but to wealthy families, it was nothing more than a random reward .

Therefore, every guest who could enter Jin Xiu Garden to drink tea every day would need to spend at least four to five taels of silver each time . As a result, the amount of silver they could earn per month was within her expectations . So she is not surprised when reading the accounts . Seeing Mu Yunyao’s calm expression, Steward Qin was momentarily at a loss as to how to react . He had thought that she would be surprised, but unexpectedly, she was even calmer than him, causing him to suddenly feel as if he had never seen the world before .

“It’s just a matter of convenience for Miss Mu to look at the books . The real reason is I want to discuss with Miss Mu about how if we settle these accounts for half a month? Because Fourth Master’s residence is quite far away, it would be inconvenient to give away more money …”

“Alright, as long as the accounts are clear, we can do whatever you want with the accounts . ” Mu Yunyao’s expression did not change, but many guesses flashed through her mind . Steward Qin shouldn’t have said that for no reason at all . It was not easy to send out silver taels, but they could exchange it for silver notes, and there was nothing inconvenient about it . The only possibility was that Yue w.a.n.g was short of money and extremely short!

“I do remember something else that I want to discuss with Steward Qin . ”

“Young Miss, if there’s anything you need, just say it . ”

“When we fry tea leaves every day to make tea, many broken tea leaves are sifted out . Those tea leaves are useless to be sold and are not worth much silver . How about we set up some tea stands on some public roads and some piers, and every person can pay a bit of money to drink the tea . It would be convenient for people, but it would also be worth it for us to gain a good reputation .

Steward Qin nodded: “Young Miss is truly kind . ”

“Why not do all the little things you can do? But we have to be extra careful . There are many other people selling tea at the docks, too . We have to do good deeds, and we can’t interfere with other people’s business . ”

“Yeah, I’ll get people to pay extra attention to it . ” Since she was doing a good deed, she might as well be careful and not attract the complaints of others .

Steward Qin’s movements were fast . In just two days, there were tea stands in many places . There are a pot, a pot of tea, a pile of black porcelain bowls, and a few tables, chairs, and stools . These simple decorations received praise for Mu Yunyao and Bu Xian Luo .

What was unexpected was that the tea stand on the pier had attracted many customers for Bu Xian Luo . Those guests had seen the skills used in brewing tea in Bu Xian Luo, and all went to the Shopkeeper Qin to discuss the purchase of tea leaves .

Shopkeeper Qin naturally had no reason to refuse . In a short time, he had sold the tea leaves for close to twenty thousand taels of silver alone .

Yue w.a.n.g sent the letter to Mu Yunyao again . This time, it was simpler than before, with only one sentence: Relax .

Mu Yunyao looked at the one sentence on the letter that was as sharp as knives and couldn’t help but sigh at Yue w.a.n.g’s golden words . She had sent twenty thousand taels of silver over but had only exchanged it for one sentence . At the same time, she couldn’t help but think of her previous guess .

Could it be that Yue w.a.n.g really lacked silver taels? When she saw Yue w.a.n.g in her previous life, he had already become Jin w.a.n.g’s concubine . At that time, the Emperor’s health was not good, and he fought with the Princes in the imperial court until his eyes turned green . When Yue w.a.n.g returned to the Capital, the Emperor was already too ill to go to the Imperial Court, and even ordered Yue w.a.n.g to command the Imperial Guards to guard the city .

As for Jin w.a.n.g and the others, they were very wary of Yue w.a.n.g . Previously, his situation was indeed not too good, and he did not even have much presence within the Imperial Court . Whenever Jin w.a.n.g mentioned him, it would seem like he despised and ridiculed Yue w.a.n.g .

It seems that she has to find a way to understand Yue w.a.n.g . In any case, she already knew that after three years, he would be able to make a comeback . If his situation was not good right now, she might as well help out a little . She might even be able to obtain unexpected rewards .

When Steward Qin received Eunuch Cheng’s reply, he was even more ecstatic . He looked at Yu Yi, who was standing at the side, and said, “You said that w.a.n.g Ye received Miss Mu’s letter and directly said that he wanted to protect her as his own people?” Doesn’t that mean w.a.n.g Ye is also interested in Miss Mu?

Yu Yi, who came to deliver the letter, couldn’t help but think back to what he had said . “I heard from Yu Heng that w.a.n.g Ye wanted to protect her things . What he wants to protect, it should be Ni Yun Fang, right?”

“Things are dead, but people are alive . Which one of these things is important? w.a.n.g Ye’s intentions must be for us to allowed protect Miss Mu!” Steward Qin glanced at Yu Yi . He was the same as Yu Heng, whose brain was dead .

Yu Yi carefully looked closer at Steward Qin’s expression and felt that it was better to do not to refute him . He straightforwardly changed the topic, “Steward Qin, I think Jin Xiu Garden’s business is pretty good . ”

“Yeah, it’s all thanks to Miss Mu . When I first saw her, I already felt that she was extremely extraordinary . How can ordinary people be as smart and attractive as she is? Speaking of Mu Yunyao, Steward Qin was full of smiles and kept praising her, “You were not fortunate enough to drink the tea personally brewed by Miss Mu . Wei Yi and Yun Chun are still far from it . Back then …”

Yu Yi did not know how to react . When he first saw Steward Qin, he kept asking about w.a.n.g Ye, but now he was praising others . If he did not know that he was loyal to w.a.n.g Ye, he would have suspected that someone else bribes Steward Qin .
