Abandoned peasant woman in the prosperous world

Chapter 460 Defeat (1)
Yuwen Wan'er also said that in previous years, most of the cloth art competitions were led by Luyin Pavilion, and other cloth merchants such as Lingxiu Building would also participate.Preparations began about the New Year's Eve until the arrival of the four kingdoms in March.Sometimes, the preparations started at the end of October of the first year, just to overwhelm Bai Guo and gain a good impression from the emperor.

It's just that, year after year, they can't compare to others.Even if the emperor promised more generous rewards year after year, it could only inspire people's hearts and not improve the ability of these cloth merchants.Yuwen Wan'er revealed the meaning of this to Qin Yuyao, that is, she is optimistic about the quilted train designed by Qin Yuyao, and wants Qin Yuyao to improve the design so that when she comes to court in the four kingdoms next year, she can become famous all over the world in one fell swoop!

As expected, Qin Yuyao valued this opportunity very much.Thinking all the way, should I write another letter to Liu Xianyun?

On the other hand, let's say that Mu Chenglin didn't dare to stay in Qingyang Town anymore, for fear that Qin Yuyao would change his mind and cut him off—she really dared!Mu Chenglin has no doubts, what is a human life in their eyes?For a person with such ability, there are many ways to make him die inexplicably.

Therefore, he immediately left Qingyang Town and returned to the capital.Change into clean clothes first, so as not to be embarrassed and sweaty, and make Master Mu dissatisfied.Then, after tidying up, he went directly to Master Mu's study.

When Master Mu saw him coming back, he gave him a seat first, and then asked: "How is the matter going?"

Mu Chenglin said: "Master Hui, the Qin family is not a good master."

"Oh?" The wooden walnut that Master Mu was turning in his hand paused for a moment.

Mu Chenglin said quickly: "Ms. Qin is very cautious and quick-witted. Although she is young, she should not be underestimated." As he said, he told about the news and testing after he left.It's just that he didn't tell the story of being punished by Xiao Li and selling Master Mu.

However, it is precisely because of the omission of this paragraph that Master Mu is quite disapproving: "When you pour such a pot of dirty water, they didn't even move a single finger of you. You are obviously cowardly and can be bullied, so what's the point of being cautious?"

Mu Chenglin just complimented: "The master is right. Like the master, even if the other party is just a shop that has just opened, it is really prudent to send a villain to investigate."

Master Mu was praised very much, while turning the wooden walnut in his palm, he said: "Since the Qin family is cowardly, let's take advantage of it."

"Master, this is not right." After all, Mu Chenglin is Master Mu's confidant servant, seeing that Master Mu belittled Qin Yuyao at this moment, he couldn't help feeling a little uneasy.

However, Master Mu didn't take it seriously, and waved his hand at him: "Master has his own calculations."

Mu Chenglin was sweating faintly on his forehead, he opened his mouth to speak, but finally didn't say anything, stood up and said: "Yes, little one, step back."

If you tell about Qin Yuyao's handling of him, Master Mu will definitely see the signs, maybe even be suspicious.At that time, he will no longer be the confidant of Master Mu, and his wife, son, daughter-in-law, etc. will all be looked down upon by the people in the house.From then on, no one would look at him high, treat him respectfully, and flatter him.

On the other side, Master Mu heard what Mu Chenglin was hiding, and only felt that Qin Yuyao was "soft and easy to deceive". Thinking about the coming of the Four Kingdoms in the coming year, he began to think about it.Changing into a good outfit, I took out two pieces of the Quju pattern I got from Mu Rumei a few days ago, stuffed them into the sleeves, and prepared to call on old friends.

In late autumn, it gets dark quickly.It was only when Master Mu went out that he saw the setting sun, and the sky was full of red clouds, and when he invited some old friends to sit in the private room of the No. [-] Restaurant, it was already dark outside.

"Master Mu brought our brothers together, what is his order?" A paunchy master asked with a smile.

A person next to him was already pouring wine, and said with a smile: "Brother Mu is the most generous and casual, since he invites us to drink, we can just accept it."

Another person narrowly said: "Thanks to Master Mu's generosity, otherwise we would not dare to enter the threshold of the No. [-] restaurant."

Master Mu let out a "bah" and scolded with a smile: "Come on, who said I'm a treat? When we leave later, everyone will settle their bills!"

"Ouch! Didn't Master Mu invite us to drink? That's amazing. A table of meals in this No. [-] restaurant is worth three times that of other restaurants. We can't afford it, so let's go." One person As he spoke, he encouraged everyone else to get up.

There are five or six people at a table, all of whom are well-known wealthy businessmen in this city of Yongjing.Headed by Mr. Mu from the Green Shade Pavilion, they are all tycoons in the fabric business.

In this business field, if there is no good popularity, although it is not impossible to continue, it must be impossible to do well.The only thing that is well-informed is a threshold that most people cannot cross.The few people on the table are all merchants who have been friends with their ancestors for some years. They have supported each other over the years, although there have been quarrels and suppressions, but on the surface they are very harmonious.

Five or six people laughed like this for a while, then one of them raised his hand to stop, looked at Master Mu with a smile and asked: "Master Mu, I'm waiting for you to invite us to the No. [-] Restaurant, why are you so generous today?"

No. [-] Restaurant dares to hang the word "No. [-]" on its name, which shows some backstage background.It was rumored in the capital that the No. [-] Restaurant was actually opened by the natal family of a concubine in Duke Ningguo's mansion.Regardless of whether it is true or not, it has something to do with the Ningguo government.

The prices of tea and meals in the No. [-] Restaurant are extremely expensive, and the interior decoration is also very luxurious, and there is an atmosphere that does not lose to anyone everywhere.I don't know if these superficial things have bluffed many people, but no one has ever touched their brows.

Rich people are proud to host banquets in the No. [-] Restaurant, so there are often no empty seats and a full flow of passengers. Even if you are rich, you may not be able to reserve a seat.If it wasn't for the fact that Luyin Pavilion was the head of the four major merchants in the Dashun Dynasty, Master Mu might not have been able to come here and occupy a seat.Therefore, as soon as he sat down, someone joked that he sat in a private room because of Master Mu's favor.

"I got a good thing today, let me show it to my brother." Master Mu smiled, and under the curious eyes of others, he took out a roll of paper from his sleeve and handed it to the people on the left and right. .

"Yo? Is this the new style Master Mu is planning to release?" one person said in surprise.

Another person saw the style of clothes drawn on the blueprint and liked it too: "It's very elegant and elegant, what does Master Mu plan to do?"

Master Mu couldn't help but be proud of seeing a few people praise them. He just randomly picked out two drawings from that roll of blueprints.How surprised would they be if they saw the exquisite ones?Then he cleared his throat and said: "This is a new drawing by the master in my workshop. It is going to be rolled out to make fashionable clothes for a season."
