After Mu Yunyao sent away the guests, she ordered Shopkeeper Jin to close shop . She tiredly massaged her own shoulders and said, “Mother, quick, my shoulders hurt so badly, help me massage them . ”
Su Qing furrowed her eyebrows at her and said, “You lied to Mother by saying that you wouldn’t over exert yourself . Everyday, you would ask me to do your hair, but who knew, you are actually better than me . Very good . Now, you are trying to trick me into massaging your shoulders . I’m not that naive . ” Although she said this, Su Qing still walked towards Mu Yunyao and pushed her onto a chair .
Mu Yunyao smiled sheepishly at Su Qing . “Why would I lie to Mother? I really do not know how to do my own hair . ”
Su Qing gently poked Mu Yunyao’s forehead and continued to massage Mu Yunyao . She sighed, “We are really earning such easy silver to the point that I feel uneasy . ”
During this few days, they had earned another six thousand silvers . That also just means to say that in just ten days, they had earned more than ten thousand silvers . In the past, they would not have even dared to dream this up . “Mother, actually, it’s not as amazing as you think . Although it is about ten thousand silvers, but all the cloths and threads we use are the best of the best, and all the days and nights we put into making these clothes were not easy . Furthermore, we still have to pay for this building’s rent and the monthly salary of Jin Lan and the other disciples . And there is also Shopkeeper Jin, Liu Liang, the other servants……everything adds up to a huge sum of money . If we were to exclude the money that would go to them, we are actually not earning that much . ”
Su Qing blinked . All the complicated financial stuff was making her confused . Hearing her daughter’s summary, it really seemed like they were not earning that much . The uneasiness from before was long gone, replacing it was a pain in her heart . She sighed and said, “Yao Er, massage your own shoulders first, I will go and tidy up the financial records . There are still some silver that is unaccounted for . ”
Mu Yunyao smiled and nodded, “Alright, I will leave it to Mother . ”
Niyun’s name was slowly getting bigger and bigger, especially on the tenth day, when Cao Yunnian’s colleague’s forty-year-old main wife Lady Qi walked out of the shop . Not only was she quite old, her facial features were also very average and she was also showing quite a bit of chubbiness . One would not associate her with beauty, but she still managed to squeeze her name into the beauty rankings . Cao Yunnian was immensely curious, and so after spending some *cough* time with Lady Jin, he could not help but ask her, “Wife, do you perhaps know how Lady Qi was able to get into the beauty rankings?”
“Since it is the beauty rankings, then that naturally means that she has a beautiful aspect to her . ”
“This……I have seen that Lady Qi before, but could you tell me what exactly about her is beautiful?” Lady Jin pushed Cao Yunnian with a look of disdain . “Beauty is in our bones, not our skin . In the past, when Lady Qi had received false news that her husband had died, she was still able to serve her Mother-in-law and the other family from her husband’s side, and even raise her son and daughter . This toughness of hers is something that many cannot compare with . ”
Cao Yunnian immediately tried to redeem himself . “Wife is right, your husband here was just being too superficial . ”
This matter about Lady Qi caused an uproar in Jingling City . When Lady Qi walked out of Niyun, many started to take interest in it and took the extra mile to go in and take a look .
At that time, Lady Qi had been wearing a dark green peony design dress, which went together with a simple accessory . She did not seem cumbersome at all and the smile on her face was brilliant . She seemed to have become a full decade younger . However, even if she had changed to this extent, she was still not considered beautiful in the public’s eye .
Even so, the phrase “beauty lies in the bone, not the skin” spread like wildfire, and so everyone started to hear about Lady Qi’s past . Many started to think that Lady Qi was also very beautiful, but her beautiful was different from the rest .
