Mu Yunyao was peacefully recuperating at home, but the entire Jingling City was boiling.
All the shops in Ding Family were sealed, and only when many citizens asked did they find out that the fire in Ni Yun Fang Workshop was most likely set by the people of Ding Family. All of a sudden, the commoners no longer had good impressions of the Ding Family, and all of them began to spread the news, severely punishing him and giving him an explanation.
The Ding Family was captured and imprisoned. After a short interrogation, he was informed by the Mausoleum of Books and instructed by the proclaim. That was why he was born with the guts and decided to set the Ni Yun Fang Workshop on fire.
The moment he said this, the entire city went into an uproar.
There were many commoners supporting them. Now that they heard that they were the ones who instigated the burning of Ni Yun Fang Workshop, many people suspected that there was something wrong with the investigation.
Immediately after, Grand Coordinator Zhang publicly interrogated two people, which attracted a lot of people to go to the yamen's entrance and listen in.
The two of them did not admit to burning the Ni Yun Fang Workshop, but after some investigation, they revealed other unbelievable secrets.
Ziling knew how to use power to steal, and had embezzled twenty thousand taels of silver from the river, so he used his own wife, Ding Yuexin, to flirt with Shangguan and help him hide the evidence, working with others.
Hearing this news, proclaim and Ziling both immediately fell into a battle. The scene was a mess, and even Grand Coordinator Zhang's Shocking Wood was about to be broken in half, which was why they were barely able to maintain the situation.
Ding Yuexin actually had a close relationship with five men at the same time. The reason why Ding Family was able to soar to such heights so quickly was entirely because of her taking off his clothes and obtaining the strength of the Luo Hua City Mistress.
Immediately, the people of Ding Family started shouting and attacking. Even Ding Yuelan and the other daughters of the other Ding Family were affected, their reputations completely ruined.
It didn't matter if they set the Ni Yun Fang Workshop's fire on fire or not, both surprisingly and proclaim no longer had the chance to turn the situation around.
Su Qingwu wrote a report about what had happened in the Jingling City. Because it was an emergency and he was afraid it would cause a change in the hearts of the people, he sent the news to the capital through the night.
As soon as the news entered the capital, it attracted the attention of the oratory officer, and they repeatedly requested the Emperor to severely punish this matter.
Mu Yunyao had naturally heard of the matters of the and the Mausoleum of Books. She had even sent Jin Lan to find out more about Ding Yuelan, but unfortunately, she was unable to find anything after she had asked for a while.
After recuperating for seven or eight days, some of the small wounds on her body had fully healed, and only the wound on her palm was still faintly aching. After calculating the time, she reckoned that her group was about to return, and wanted to go to Jin Xiu Garden.
Even if it was just going to the next door, Su Qing still wouldn't agree to let her go out no matter what. Mu Yunyao used every means he had, making a series of promises before finally being able to bring Jin Lan and Jin Qiao to the next room.
When Steward Qin heard the news, he hurriedly came over to greet his. "Greetings, Miss Mu. How is young lady's injuries?"
Thank you, Steward Qin, for your concern.
"Seeing that Miss still looks haggard, I think it's better if you rest more. I have prepared some bird's nest and ginseng, but I don't dare to carelessly send them to Miss for fear of causing lady to misunderstand. Lady, you must take them with you when you leave."
"Then, I'll have to thank Steward Qin."
Mu Yunyao sat at the side of the pavilion and waited. She had already agreed to wait for the fifty people to return on the fifteenth day at the same time.
Just as he was deep in thought, a servant came forward to report, "Lady, Steward Qin, Wei Yi, Yun Chun and the others have returned."
Mu Yunyao's eyes lit up: Bring them in.
Steward Qin was also full of curiosity, he did not know if there were any changes to those people after staying on both sides of Qin Huai for half a month.
After walking in, she took the lead and bowed to Mu Yunyao, then silently stood by her side. Her eyes, however, were looking at quietly, with traces of her being unable to be explained.
Wei Yi and Yun Chun were slightly behind, and the expression on their faces were still light, as if there was no difference from before. But after careful observation, their auras were a little different.
Mu Yunyao swept a glance across them, and a look of satisfaction flashed past her eyes: "Go and prepare some clothes, and then come over here to make some tea."
"Yes, my lady."
Very quickly, the fifty people finished changing and walked over. They sat at their respective tables, and bowed towards Mu Yunyao and the Steward Qin.
Steward Qin could not help but widely open his eyes. The people were still the same, but their auras were completely different. Previously, they had smiles on their faces, but that smile was even more radiant and cold.
Mu Yunyao slightly nodded. "Let's begin."
The fifty of them started to brew the tea at the same time. As they moved, their white sleeves began to move, and the sound of water being poured into the Fructus Artemisiae could be heard. Not long after, the fragrance of tea wafted through the air. The tea cup's lid lightly tapped against it, letting out a crisp sound, and then the fifty people saluted together once more, gathering their hands and sitting behind the table.
A look of pleasant surprise appeared on Steward Qin's face. These people already had the charm of Mu Yunyao when she was making tea, especially when all of them were moving at the same time.
The people below all raised their heads to look at Mu Yunyao, hoping to get her confirmation.
Mu Yunyao shook her head slightly, "I passed."
"You passed?" The Steward Qin did not understand, "Please enlighten me."
"Our teahouse is open for guests. How many customers out of many really love tea? "I think it's less than 10% to 22%. Among the many guests, some of them are just for social interaction, while some of them are just a bit mediocre. If we are not able to be unique and have so many teahouses and teahouses, why would others choose to come to our place?"
Mu Yunyao said, she got up and sat behind the table, and started to make tea.
Her face was pale and haggard, and the clothes she wore were all ordinary. However, the moment she made her move, everyone's eyes were focused on her movements, it was clearly the same tea making method.
"I don't need to say that, you know that this teahouse is not only for the sake of earning money. If you can't attract as many people as possible to come here, then this teahouse will be meaningless." "After you come back, your expressions are indeed much more vivid than before, but remember, we are a teahouse, and we need to wash away the lead dust and maintain our elegance. What you are displaying is not your own, but the tea in your hands, so your breath must be one with the tea."
Her voice was crisp and clear. As she made tea, she spoke slowly. The words that left her mouth seemed to float along with the fragrance of the tea to the bottom of one's heart. She felt tranquil, but her words still echoed in her mind.
Mu Yunyao withdrew her actions and gently placed the teacup in front of Steward Qin. Her smile did not seem to intentionally pursue gentleness and beauty, rather, it looked a little light and distant, but the crowd felt that she should be like this.
Mu Yunyao raised her eyes and looked at the crowd, "All of you have to please the guests, but you can't be humble and flatter them. Instead, you have to make them lower their guard and take you all as their close friends so that you can get what you want.
This sort of thing could only be understood but not conveyed. She was also unable to use words to explain it clearly. Among these people, there were already people who had their first insight, just by practicing a little more, they would be able to achieve perfection.
When it came to educating people, and the fact that Miss Mu had his own methods, he couldn't help but to admire them. The fifty people she had picked out at that time couldn't be considered outstanding, but they were more loyal and generous, able to resolutely carry out the orders of the Duke. But now, he suddenly had a feeling that these fifty people were not allowed to become great weapons, and were far beyond the expectations of the Duke.
