Chapter 260
The Malicious Meng Yanran
Seeing that Meng Yanran was about to lose her temper, Su Yuyi quickly stepped forward and held her hands, “You are all my sister . Why are we standing at the door and talking? Come in quickly . I have asked someone to prepare some tea bought from Jingling City . It’s said to be very delicious . Both sisters come to have a taste . ”
Meng Yanran snorted coldly and walked quickly into the hall, but she was so dissatisfied in her heart . Seeing Mu Yunyao slowly walk in, she couldn’t help but say, “Big Sister Yuyi, I remember that you spent quite a bit of silver to set up this small Lu Yi Pavillion, right?”
“Although trying to conserve as much as possible, it really cost a lot . ” Su Yuyi smiled brilliantly .
This Lu Yi Pavilion was built precisely according to her preference . It was meticulously constructed and cost seventy to eighty thousand taels of silver . Even the bricks laid on the ground made of high-quality materials . Every plant and tree in the yard is very precious . Choosing one was enough to feed a family of four for several months .
“It was also because my aunt and uncle doted on you . When you were coming age, they built this Lu Yi Pavillion for you as a gift . At the time, the young ladies who came to attend your hairpin ceremony were so envious that their eyes turned red . ” After Meng Yanran finished speaking, she turned her gaze towards Mu Yunyao, “I heard that you brought a lot of things when you came from Jingling City, and you also directly changed the things in Jiyue Pavilion . I suppose you must have made quite a bit of silver, right?”
“It’s all because of the hard work of the money . There are a lot of people who need to be supported, so there aren’t many things left behind . ”
“There was no need for modesty . At that time, a box on the dock overturned, and a lot of jewelry had fallen off from it . Rumor has it that it was worth a lot of money . Ni Yun Fang and Bu Xian Lou had opened recently, but I really didn’t expect that the profit would be so great .If it weren’t for the fact that Elder Sister Yuyi and I have a family discipline, I wouldn’t be allowed to intervene in these merchants, and I would not even want to start an embroidery shop . ” After she finished speaking, she sneered fiercely, and the contempt and ridicule in her words were self-evident .
Mu Yunyao’s eyes darkened . Meng Yanran’s words were sharp and striking, which meant that she earned too much silver, and it was inevitable that she would be guilty of making black-hearted silver . Meng Yanran also said that she and Su Yuyi had family discipline, which also meant that she was ridiculing her for not being well-mannered and had no education . The last sentence about the merchants is especially scornful, and it is impossible to make people pretend not to hear it .
Seeing Mu Yunyao not make a sound, the provocation in Meng Yanran’s eyes became even more apparent, “Why aren’t you saying anything? Even though you were born in the countryside, you don’t have to be so restrained . You and I both call each other sisters, so there’s no need to hide so much when you speak . If you speak wrongly, no one will punish you . ”
Mu Yunyao slightly pursed her lips as an embarrassed expression appeared on her face . “Elder Sister came from a wealthy family, and she doesn’t know the hardships in the world . Even if her family allowed it, she wouldn’t be able to open the embroidery shop . After all, from fabric selection, pattern design, tailoring, silk thread selection, and the embroidery process, it’s considered good if you can make a set of clothes within one month . But Sister Meng also said just now that you and I are sisters, so we should help each other . If you really want to open an embroidery shop, I can help you find some female embroiderer . After all, the most exquisite embroidery techniques now are all spread out from my Ni Yun Fang!”
Didn’t you mock the merchant? Now you can’t even do business like merchants, aren’t you worse than merchants?
Meng Yanran was angry and couldn’t help but sneer, “Cousin Yunyao is indeed different from us . Her mouth is really eloquent . You’ve met more people than us when you opened the tea house in Jingling City, right?”
That was why she was so sharp-tongued . She learned so much from those people!
Mu Yunyao’s smile became even more bashful . “I was born timid and have never liked going out . Otherwise, I wouldn’t have calmed down to study those embroidery techniques . It’s possible that the heavens love innocent people, whether Ni Yun Fang or Bu Xian Luo, there are suitable shopkeepers to take care of them . I am also teaching embroidery techniques and processed tea leaves . Mother said that I was born to speak early, but I can’t walk yet, so I know how to say everything . Perhaps this is what it means, just like how some people never speak no matter how much they learn . ”
Meng Yanran was blocked by Mu Yunyao to the point where she couldn’t hold herself back, and her eyes were full of anger .
Su Yuyi was also astonished . She didn’t expect that Meng Yanran couldn’t get any advantage over Mu Yunyao . When she thought of what had happened before, she suddenly had a premonition in her heart: This Mu Yunyao in front of her would definitely not be as easy to deal as her mother had said!
Having gained the upper hand with her words, Mu Yunyao was elated . She looked at the tea set placed at the side, “Cousin, didn’t you ask us to come in just now to try some tea? What kind of tea did you prepare?”
“It’s Premium Yuqian Longjing, and I’m going to soak it for my two sisters to taste . ”
Meng Yanran stretched out her hand to hold Su Yuyi, “Sister Yuyi, did you forget that we have a master of tea art here? Cousin Yunyao has opened Bu Xian Luo, but the rumor says that no one can compare to her in the art of making tea . Why don’t you show off your skills today and let us have a look as well?”
“These are all insignificant skills and won’t be able to display much . However, if you two sisters want to see, then I’ll give you an ugly one . ”
Seeing Mu Yunyao agree, Meng Yanran laughed coldly .
Seeing her expression, Su Yuyi smiled apologetically at Mu Yunyao and said, “Then I’ll be troubling Cousin Yunyao . ”
Mu Yunyao walked to the back of the table where the tea was brewing and gracefully sat down . She arranged the tea set on the table bit by bit before carefully inspecting it again . Only then did she start to heat up the water in the teacup .
Seeing her like this, Meng Yanran couldn’t help but snort coldly, and her hostility was apparent .
Su Yuyi’s eyes slowly dimmed . She had trained hard in the art of tea since she was young and could instantly distinguish the difference between good and inadequate . Mu Yunyao was really good at making tea, and her skills were not shallow either . Her actions seemed casual, but it was neither heavy nor slow . There was a sense of calm in Mu Yunyao’s body that made people gradually forget about the noise and became calm down completely .
Her next move in the brewing of the tea was very pleasing to the eyes . Even the expression of Meng Yanran, who was always disdainful before, gradually changed her face .
Mu Yunyao steadied the teacups and gently closed them . As the cup lid and the teacup made contact with each other, they made a light noise, covering the rising smoke as a fragrant aroma wafted out .
Mu Yunyao brought the teacups over to the two of them .
Su Yuyi took it and softly thanked her, “Many thanks, Cousin Yunyao . ”
Mu Yunyao smiled as she returned the greeting . “Cousin, there’s no need to be polite . ”
When she handed the teacup to Meng Yanran, she saw Meng Yanran receiving the teacup with her fingertips, but the next moment, the teacup poured directly at Mu Yunyao .
A cold light flashed through Mu Yunyao’s eyes . Right at this moment, she held the tray in her hand and raised her hand to block the teacup, stopping it from reaching her body .
Meng Yanran was smiling . The next moment, she heard a clanging sound, and the teacup that was thrown out by her was directly blocked back . The tea spilled all over her leg, and she couldn’t help but scream, “Ah, it hurts!”
