Chapter 156
The Reason for Su Qing
Only then did everyone react as they exclaimed in praise and secretly looked at Mu Yunyao many times . They didn"t know what was going on in her mind to actually be able to create so many patterns on her clothes . The crux of it was that these patterns moved their hearts . Even more, when they saw them, they can"t wait for them to come together .
Especially for those ladies, they only felt that their eyes glued to the clothes, and they could not retract their gazes . At their age and status, many things were no longer convenient for them to say directly . With the help of their clothes, they secretly pointed out the affection between husband and wife, which is implicit and hazy, and let them yearn for a time .
They had initially thought that Mu Yunyao had basked in the glory of recognizing this adoptive family, but now it seemed that they didn"t even know who the one is?
At the start of the banquet, the various madams" att.i.tudes towards Mu Yunyao and Su Qing became more and more intimate, almost as if they had a request written on their faces .
Mu Yunyao only pretended not to understand as she smiled and accompanied everyone to finish the feast .
By the time the banquet ended, nearly four hours had pa.s.sed . After sending off the guests, Mu Yunyao accompanied Lady Jin back to the backyard . "Mother, it"s really been hard on you today . " As she spoke, she took her pulse .
"I am happy today, so I feel worth it no matter how hard I work . Furthermore, you helped me prepare it very well, so I don"t feel tired at all . " Lady Jin looked at Mu Yunyao, the more she looked at it, the more she liked it . Her clothes were not only lightweight, but they also kept her warm . The clothes she wore earlier made her body feel a chill, but after changing into the clothes Mu Yunyao had made, she felt much more comfortable . Even the shoes and the soles on her feet felt much better, with cotton wool and wormwood . It was soft and good for the body, so she didn"t feel tired at all when she walked .
After finishing her pulse, Mu Yunyao"s smile became a lot more relaxed: "Mother"s pulse is normal . It seems like my little brother is also happy today, so he"s especially well-behaved . "
"If he is so well-behaved every day, I would have woken up laughing even in my dreams . "Aiyo, look at this little brat . Just after I finished speaking, he was already unwilling to accept it and started beating me up . "
Mu Yunyao lightly touched Lady Jin"s stomach, purposely carrying a bit of anger with her . "You have to be obedient and not cause a ruckus in your mother"s stomach . Otherwise, big sis won"t listen to you . " It was unknown whether it was a coincidence or not, but the fetus that was in the midst of making a ruckus suddenly stopped moving, as if it had understood Mu Yunyao"s words, causing Lady Jin to be pleasantly surprised .
Mu Yunyao smiled along with her for a while, but didn"t stay for long . "Mother has been tired for the entire day, so you should quickly rest . I"ll come back another day to accompany you . "
"Alright, you and Sister Su are both exhausted . Hurry back and rest . "
"Yao"er will take her leave . "
On the way back, Su Qing was still unable to calm down . "Yao"er, I feel that when those ladies saw the clothes you made for Lord Cao and Lady Jin, they became especially warmer to me . Could it be that these clothes can also have such a huge effect?"
Mu Yunyao couldn"t help but smile, "They aren"t looking at clothes, they"re only looking at the ident.i.ty clothes represent . "
"What status does an ordinary set of clothes represent?" Su Qing was even more confused . A single set of clothes didn"t have anything special about them . However, when adoptive Father and Mother put it together, just as the governor"s wife had said, that they were in love with each other, symbolizing the love of a husband and wife . Those who were able to attend the banquet today were all the main wives of the various families . Although they held the t.i.tle of main wives, they might not necessarily the most favored in the house . Which families don"t have one or two concubines to block their way?"
"But can a set of clothes help them get a favor?" Su Qing also knew that there were many concubines in the back of a big family . As the main wife, she had to face a concubine that more favored than her all the time, which made her unhappy . "Although they may not necessarily be able to win the favor of others, at the very least, they can reveal their ident.i.ties . Only the legal wife can wear a set of clothes like this with her husband . " Moreover, most of the main wives took a fancy to this ident.i.ty . As for those who are dotes or not, it didn"t matter at all . Although they can"t say that they don"t care, at least half of them are not in the eyes .
Su Qing nodded and sighed in her heart, "I used to think that those madams lived a good life, but now it seems that they don"t live up to my expectations . "
"The more powerful a person is, the more connections they have inside . Mother will get to know more in the future, and you"ll understand slowly . "
"En, Yao"er, don"t worry . If I don"t understand, I"ll listen and read more . I can always understand it slowly . "
Mu Yunyao naturally knew that she was doing all this for her own sake . She only felt her eyes grow hot and couldn"t help but throw herself into her arms . "Mother is so nice . "
"Silly girl . "
After returning home, Mu Yunyao felt rather tired, so she directly went to rest .
On the street, Steward Qin and the others were busy with their work until the sky turned completely dark, and the hills of rice became empty bags . Gradually, no one came to pick up the congee .
The person who helped to make the porridge was so tired that he could barely walk . He just sat on the ground and did not want to move . They did not expect that a bowl of porridge would be so sought after by the commoners .
Yu Yi couldn"t help but ask Steward Qin, "Tell me, could it be that all of Jingling City"s citizens have come to collect the porridge, right?"
"I"m afraid it"s more than that . "
"More than that?"
"That"s right . There are many merchants in Jingling City . I just saw many well-dressed men come to collect their porridge . Those people don"t seem to be lacking this bowl of porridge to drink . "
Yu Yi was even more confused . "Since they don"t lack this bowl of porridge, why did they have to line up here to claim it?"
"Earlier, I told w.a.n.g Ye that he should not only look at martial arts and loyalty for the selection . But also see if they have any brains . How do you feel when you see all the citizens of Jingling City gathered together for the porridge today?"
"Speaking of feelings, it seems that there is nothing special except for the warmth in my heart, oh, and it"s quite tiring . "
"Do you think that being tired is worth it?"
Yu Yi looked around at the citizens who had not dispersed, and all of them had smiles on their faces . He didn"t know why, he still felt so tired physically, but he felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction and accomplishment . "It"s worth it . "
Steward Qin smiled, "Then that"s it . The person who came to collect the congee is not necessarily missing that bowl of congee, but rather wants to partic.i.p.ate in such a scene . If my guess is right, then Jingling City is going to become famous again . " The lively day had come to an end . The night pa.s.sed, and the sun rose in the east . It was a new day .
Mu Yunyao began to prepare for the New Year . This New Year was the first New Year she spent with her mother since she was reborn . From Su Qing"s point of view, she was with her every day, but from her point of view, it had been many years since she had spent with her mother .
As a result, this year she paid special attention and only hoped that they could have some good fortune during the New Year, and the following days would be smooth sailing and profitable for them . In addition, she has recognized a pair of adoptive fathers and mothers . This New Year"s ceremony, she has to prepare more carefully .
At this moment, a special gift was sent all the way to the Capital through the fast horses .
