Chapter 38
When the banquet began, everyone, under the lead of the patron, faced the capital and expressed their gratitude to the emperor for his great kindness and blessings.
As soon as the kowtowing ended, a gentle breeze blew past, causing Madame Jin's skirt to flutter. A wave of fragrance wafted away, followed by colorful butterflies flapping around Madame Jin's dress, and occasionally a butterfly would land on the stamen of a peony, making her look like a butterfly fairy.
"Heavens! What is going on?"
"Mistress Jin must have sincerely kowtowed to the Emperor, her sincerity must have moved the heavens and earth, that's why she attracted Cai Die to surround her, to express her affirmation."
The commotion quickly reached the officials. After hearing the whole story, the patrolman patted Cao Yunsheng's shoulder. Although he didn't say anything, his attitude was very intimate.
The others looked at Cao Yunsheng with unspeakable envy. Their mistress wasn't as lucky as his mistress, who would kowtow to the emperor like usual and attract butterflies to surround her. When this scene reached the capital, the emperor would definitely be overjoyed, and this official position would naturally follow suit.
By the time the banquet ended, Cao Yunsheng and Lady Jin got into a carriage and went back. When they saw Lady Jin's clothes, her eyes were wide open, causing her to blush uncontrollably.
He finally stopped thinking about it and quickly asked about the situation.
"This set of clothes was custom-made by me when I found a girl. She only told me to incense the clothes with the flower petals she sent me a day or two before I wore them. I didn't know that butterflies would be attracted to it."
"Well drawn out, well drawn out. Your husband has greatly gained face by following Madam today." Thinking of the affectionate attitude of the patron at the banquet, Cao YunNian could not help but clap his hands and laugh.
Similarly, the Su Clan was in the limelight.

The golden hall was filled with a sea of shock when the two screens were brought up. The emperor couldn't help but walk down from his throne and size them up.
On the front, the sun was rising, and the mountains and rivers were being embroidered. On the back, there were dancing dragons and phoenixes, surrounded by auspicious clouds.
The Su Clan's birthday present was comparable to all of the other gold jades. This caused the Emperor to be overjoyed and gave out a great reward on the spot. This caused the officials to be extremely envious.
"It was all thanks to the emperor's calligraphy and martial virtue that the craftsmen were able to painstakingly study it and restore the painting's embroidery skills that were already lost."
"Long live the Emperor, long live the Emperor, long live the Emperor."
"Fine, you and I will have a drink together."
"This subject is terrified."
As they drank, they enjoyed the view of the screen. After they were in the middle of drinking, quite a few officials suddenly rubbed their eyes and looked at the screen again and again.
"Everyone, have you drunk too much already?" As the emperor spoke, he also looked at the screen and was immediately enraged by what he saw.
The original red sun had already disappeared from the screen, and the screen in front was suffused with eleven layers of red, as if it was blood.
It was unknown who said in a low voice, "The mountains and rivers are dyed in blood .."
Behind the screen, a line of blood passed through the golden dragon's body, slicing the dragon in two.
The officials were no longer in the mood to drink, they all knelt on the ground, their bodies trembling.
Su Wen Yuan's face was already deathly pale. He wanted to use his eyes to destroy the screen. "Your majesty, this subject doesn't know what's going on. Please give this subject three days time. The source of the screen will definitely be investigated thoroughly."
"What a joke. Lord Su sent a screen, but didn't know where the screen came from. Could it be that you dare to present something unknown to the emperor as a birthday present?"
"No, this subject does not dare, but this screen is not something this subject has personally obtained, so I do not know if someone was secretly manipulating it."
"Did Sir Su not send anyone to inspect the emperor's birthday present?"
Su Wen Yuan felt like he was at a loss for words. He kneeled on the ground, unable to keep his head straight from the Emperor's anger.
After a long while, the emperor finally said coldly, "Let Su Aiqing handle this matter. With the help of the birthday present, curse the imperial court to punish him. Su Aiqing should not show any mercy."
"Yes, Your Majesty. This humble subject will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly."
The courtyard that Mu Yunyao had bought was almost cleaned up, so she chose a good day and happily moved in with Su Qing.
After the Patrol Officer's banquet, quite a few people went to find Madam Jin to inquire about Mu Yunyao's information. Lady Jin stopped a portion of the people and arranged the names, allowing the silver red to be passed onto Mu Yunyao's hands.
The next day, Mu Yunyao went to the Cao family estate early in the morning.
"I knew you would come here, so I got someone to prepare the best Jadeite Springs early in the morning. Come and have a taste." For the past few days, Cao Yunsheng had stayed in her room and Lady Jin had tasted the sweetness. At this time, she naturally treated Mu Yunyao even more intimately.
"Greetings Madam. Yunyao has come today to thank Madam."
"Oh, why are you thanking me?"
Mu Yunyao took out the list that Lady Jin had helped him organize. "It's naturally Madam Xie's favor in defending it."
There were only six people on the list, but they definitely weren't the only ones who had found Lady Jin. A portion of them had been blocked by Lady Jin herself, otherwise, with so many people searching for her, she wouldn't have been able to make so many clothes.
The corner of Madame Jin's mouth raised into a smile. When she spoke to a smart person, she did not waste any time, "You don't have to thank me. I naturally have my own considerations when I defend you." She wanted to let Mu Yunyao make the clothes she had on in the future, so she couldn't force someone to death in an instant.
Leaning on a big tree to take advantage of the shade, this was the reason why Mu Yunyao chose Lady Jin.
"Yunyao, you're too shameless. There's one more thing I hope the Madam can help me with."
"Go ahead."
"The clothes I made were all stitched up by myself, and it took a lot of effort. My mother and I have just arrived at the Tombal Mountain City and we are not familiar with each other. We do not know many people, and I do not know if the Lady has any nimble and dexterous ladies under her. "
Lady Jin was stunned for a moment before finding it hard to believe. "You're looking for someone with a clever mind. Could it be that .."
"Yes, Madam's guess is correct. I want to impart to you my embroidery skills so that I can make more clothes. At the same time, I also have a way to earn a living."
At this moment, even Lady Jin could not figure out what she was thinking. "You're actually willing to do that?"
It's just some embroidery techniques that aren't considered treasures. If someone bought it and carefully studied it, they would be able to find a clue or two, and it would have to be spread out sooner or later. It would be easier for me to find a few people to teach it to them.
Lady Jin looked deeply at Mu Yunyao. "Alright, since you trust me, I'll help you find a few people."
"Thank you Madam."
After leaving the Cao family's residence, Mu Yunyao's footsteps were light. She relied on her good feelings to maintain her. If she could maintain it for a while without any foundation, then it would be much more stable if there were benefits to be shared. She had sought out Mrs. King for help in order to connect their interests with each other.
The six or six people standing at the entrance quickly followed, keeping their silence along the way.
"Six liang, how old are you? I think you should be twenty years old. You know sword arts and martial arts aren't bad. How did you end up being sold? Have you ever been married? "It doesn't matter if you don't have one. I'll send you an example every month. If you save up for a few more years, you can always buy a wife!"
He frowned as he looked at Mu Yunyao's opening and closing lips. When he passed by the stalls on the street, he bought a string of candied fruits and passed it over.
Mu Yunyao widened her eyes as she looked at the candied fruits with syrup hanging on them. For a moment, she didn't know how to react.
She was holding a grudge from her past life, which was why she deliberately used words to insult him. Who would have thought that this cold-blooded swordsman would also retaliate and make her eat candied fruits? Was he mocking her for being young?
