Chapter 165

Just as the woman was about to speak, the man was very excited when he heard the price.

"100 taels? Of course I'm willing to sell it. We'll make it for you as much as you want!"

He said it as if he was capable.

"But it will take me at least three months to finish spinning this one-foot piece of cloth. My family is not the only one who can weave this piece of cloth. Madam might as well ask elsewhere."

Before she finished speaking, the man raised his eyebrows and said, "Where are you going? I'm in charge of this matter. You just weave."

He seemed to be in the habit of yelling at his wife.

"Just now I heard that elder brother said that he wants to redeem Liu'er. Who is Liu'er?"

The man turned towards Mu Yunchu with a courteous expression: "That... that's my sister. My sister's life is miserable. Back then, she was sold to a brothel by her parents to marry me. This woman has no heart. Even after paying the money, I’m still unwilling to redeem my sister’s body.”

What sister, that's obviously his lover outside.

The little girl opened her mouth in disbelief, but when she thought about it, what's the use of clarifying, this elder sister, a weak woman, couldn't help her, and she and her mother would have to be beaten up later.

Thinking of this, she could only shut up unwillingly.

"Since that's the case, you should redeem Lingmei as soon as possible. I have 50 taels of silver here. The elder brother will take it and treat it as a deposit from me."

When the money arrived, the man had no reason not to accept it, so he accepted it with a smile.

Mu Yunchu looked at him puzzled: "Brother, isn't he in a hurry to redeem your younger sister? Hurry up and go."

Men don't like to leave, it's rare to see a fairy-like girl, and it's comfortable to see a few more times if you can't touch it.But facing Mu Yunchu's gaze, he was embarrassed to stay:
"Success...then, then I'll go and redeem my sister, and you can have dinner at my house, but don't leave." Being so attentive to a strange woman, she completely pretended that her wife didn't exist.

Mu Yunchu was too lazy to speak.

It wasn't until the man left that the woman said: "Since Ma'am has already paid the deposit, I can only give you a foot of cloth. I can't sell this thing, please forgive me."

The woman's voice was soft, but her tone was firm.

"Don't know how to call it yet?" Mu Yunchu said.

"My surname is Zhou."

Mu Yunchu nodded: "Sister Zhou, since it's inconvenient to sell, that's all. I see you can make rouge powder, but it's convenient for me to have a look."

Mrs. Zhou hesitated, but nodded: "Please."

The craftsmanship of the rouge and gouache she made is not bad, and the color is also very beautiful. If this kind of product is in Kyoto, you can buy a box of one tael of silver no matter what.

Mu Yunchu picked up a box of lipstick: "What's the price?"

"Twenty Wen." Zhou's personality is very easy-going: "If madam wants, I can make another one for you. These have already been decided."

"There's no rush, let's sit down and talk." She hasn't found a suitable person to take charge of the prescription of Zhuyanshuang that she ordered from the ghost doctor.

Zhou seemed at a loss when facing strangers, and was always half a beat behind in answering questions.

After telling Mu Yunchu everything about making rouge and gouache, Mrs. Zhou couldn't help getting up: "Madam, I should go out and set up a stall."

In Zhou's eyes, Mu Yunchu was a little baffled.

He gave them 50 taels of silver, but said that it would be fine if they didn't give the cloth.I asked her about making rouge powder, but she didn't say she wanted to buy it.

Mu Yunchu had no intention of leaving: "Is sister Zhou literate?"

Zhou frowned, and nodded after a while.

"I'll give you a prescription, and you develop a face cream for me. If you pay, I'll give you 50 taels a month. How about it?"

"Ah?" Zhou suspected that she had heard it wrong, and suddenly encountered such a good thing, which made her a little uneasy.

"This... but... this... is the salary too much?" Zhou was at a loss for a while, and it took a long time before he choked out such a sentence.

"Not much, this cream is extremely inappropriate to make, otherwise I don't need to bother to find someone." Mu Yunchu left 300 taels of silver bills for her as the cost of purchasing materials and tools.

"No, no, madam, just buy the materials and send them here. If I lose so much money to you, how can I afford it?" Zhou's face changed greatly in fright, feeling that his hands weighed a thousand catties at this moment, and he couldn't lift them at all. Get up and pick up the banknote.

"Take it well. It's so easy to lose it. If someone sees the money and steals it, just tell me. I will recover it and I won't let you pay it."

Zhou's head is in confusion at the moment.

Mu Yunchu looked at the little girl, knelt down and stuffed a few copper coins into her hand: "Little sister, I hired you as a female guard to guard the bank notes, if someone steals the money, you have to tell me, okay? "

"Female... female guard?" The little girl's breast name is Yaya, and she is holding a puppy in her hand. The word "female guard" makes her feel so majestic, and a firm light flashes in her eyes soon: "Okay! If someone steals If I took my sister’s money, I will tell you!”

"Do you know where to find me?"

Yaya thought for a while: "Go to Laifeng Inn."

Mu Yunchu nodded in satisfaction: "It's really smart."

The family didn't have pens and inks, so Mu Yunchu went outside to ask for pens and inks from the stall of the gentleman who wrote letters for others, and wrote down the letter for Zhou.

Mrs. Zhou carefully kept Fang Zi: "Madam doesn't seem to be from the town, are you from another place?"

"I'm from Kyoto."

Zhou's face showed surprise, people from Kyoto are either rich or noble, and this lady must be the same.

But she didn't inquire about Mu Yunchu's identity, and asked, "How long will Madam live in the town?"

"I'll be leaving in two days."

"Ah? Then... what if the money you gave is stolen after Madam leaves?"

Mu Yunchu smiled: "I won't wait that long, someone really wants to make money, and they will do it tonight."

Mrs. Zhou didn't understand what Mu Yunchu meant, but she didn't dare to ask any further questions. This lady made her feel very untouchable.

"I still don't know how to address Madam." Only then did Zhou remember that she had never asked Mu Yunchu's name.

Mu Yunchu originally wanted to tell her her real name, but after thinking about it, although the people of Lieyang Kingdom didn't know her, they had heard of her name to some extent.He said, "My husband's surname is Gu."

"Mrs. Gu."

At this moment, a man in front of him was suddenly blocked by a very strong man, and he was beaten severely!
"You still have money to go to the brothel after you owe me money? Run, keep running!"

"Brother Song, it's really not that I didn't want to pay back the money. My wife gave me the money to redeem Liu'er." The man who was beaten was Zhou's husband.

Brother Song's eyes became even more angry when he heard this: "Spend your daughter-in-law's money to eat, drink, whore and gamble, and even use your daughter-in-law's money to redeem the women in the brothel. It's not a pity to kill a scum like you!"

While talking, snatching the money from Zhou's husband was like punching and kicking.

"Brother Song, you took all the money, just let me go." Zhou's husband was crying, he was more cowardly than a mouse, and he didn't have the madness in front of Zhou's at all.
