Li Mu Nian turned to Mu Yunyao and Su Qing with a gentle expression, "Madam and Miss must have come out early. I presume they also haven't eaten anything yet, so there's a table over there specially for the people who donated silver taels. How about we go over and eat something together?"
Mu Yunyao looked at the table that Li Mu Nian was pointing to, because all the citizens of the city were gathered here, so there was no need to be overly formal. There were only two tables placed next to it, one for the male customers and one for the female staff members.
Su Qing nodded. "We'll follow and get some light."
Madame Zhou affectionately held onto Su Qing's arm, "Does Madame Su have any restraints?" I repeatedly told the people cooking below to pay extra attention to it. "
"Thank you Madam for your concern. It's already good enough for people in the countryside to have something to eat, there's nothing to avoid it." When Su Qing said this, her expression was extremely calm, causing Madame Zhou to hold her in high regard. To be able to look at her background so calmly, Madam Su's heart was not ordinary either.
Mu Yunyao spoke, "A few days ago, the commoners sent over a lot of vegetables and fruits, and some people even tied up a few hens to deliver to our doorsteps. I've asked them to keep them in the beautiful garden, and it's great that they can deliver them to us.
Madame Zhou nodded her head repeatedly. "That's good."
Today, the entire Tomb City was bustling with noise and excitement. Many of the people nearby wanted to enter as soon as they heard the commotion. He had originally thought that he would be stopped. However, he didn't expect that he would be ordered by the city guards to not cause any trouble. He then let them in. He contacted a few big grain merchants and sent over a lot of food, filling up several warehouses on the dock. However, he agreed on the terms and conditions, that he would settle the bill for all the food the citizens received today. He would not run out of food and would get the grain merchant to sell it to him.
Elsewhere.
The grain merchants were willing to accept this benevolent title. Thus, after a moment of consideration, they agreed. This way, they would be able to return the favor to the citizens of the city with exceptional agility.
Those who were willing to take the food would go and register. Once they had recorded the information, they would be able to claim the food according to the number of their people. If one's family couldn't eat all of the food, he or she could directly receive money equal to the price of food. Similarly, he or she wouldn't be at a disadvantage.
There were simply too many citizens in the city. They were still making porridge this time, but the atmosphere was even more lively than it had been on the eighth day of the month.
Many orphans and beggars took their bowls and found a corner where they could eat in peace. They were eating happily, and their faces had a few traces of anger. The hot porridge was in their stomachs, and they were sweating profusely. It was not easy for them to get a full meal, and after drinking a bowl, they carefully wanted to go get another bowl of porridge. A young master dressed in luxurious clothing walked by, and seeing his eager look, he coldly snorted and poured the porridge in his hand into half of his bowl, then threw two more bowls away.
Coppers past:
"If I can't finish, I'll give it to you. If I'm not full after, I'll find someone to buy two steamed buns. It's not easy to grind porridge. It's been burning and simmering up till now!" "Don't be too greedy."
The beggar was stunned for a moment, and then he took the bowl and bowed, "Thank you, young master. Thank you young master. Young master will definitely repay the kindness with kindness."
The well-dressed young master carried the half bowl of porridge and walked away, feeling extremely pleased with himself, "I am a kind-hearted person, hahaha!"
As the officials of the Tomb City looked at the surroundings, their minds were filled with a myriad of thoughts.
Mu Yunyao sat with Su Qing, watching the scene around them. A warm feeling flowed through her heart, and the faint smile on her lips was extremely vivid.
Madam Zhou seemed to have sensed something. "It's said that the world is peaceful and prosperous, but even in the capital, it's hard to see such a thriving scene today."
Mu Yunyao withdrew her gaze, her gaze clear enough to see the end, "The human heart is kind, it's just that it lacks guidance. Today, it's only igniting a little bit of kindness, but what we reap is a prairie fire." Madam Zhou was startled and turned her head to look at Mu Yunyao. With eyes filled with admiration, she said, "Miss Mu is indeed knowledgeable." She couldn't help but think of what Li Mu Nian had said before. For a girl like Mu Yunyao, it was true that the Zhou family had wronged her. She just didn't know how the Su family would treat their granddaughter.
If he underestimated her in the future, he would definitely have a lot of fun looking at it.
He busied himself for the entire day, and it was only when the sky turned completely dark that the crowd gradually dispersed.
When Mu Yunyao and Su Qing returned home, the corners of their mouths were raised. They felt that even though they had worked hard today, they were still quite satisfied. Arriving at the center of the hall, Wen mama and the others stood with their hands hanging by their sides.
Su Qing said, "We have more or less dealt with the matters at the Tomb City and have finished packing up. We will leave for the capital tomorrow!" Wen mama hastily nodded her head. "Yes, the ships have already been arranged. If there's anything Madame and Miss need to take away, feel free to tell them to load it tomorrow morning." Although the Su Clan did not send anyone to take over the position of clan head, they still had to do things with the face they should have, so they specialized …
There was a two-story ship at the door. It was lavishly decorated.
Su Qing nodded, "Alright, then Wen Ma, you guys should go rest early. We'll leave tomorrow morning."
"Yes."
After leaving the parlour, Senior Servant Wen couldn't help but turn her head and see Mu Yunyao leaning on Su Qing as she spoke. Senior Servant Liu followed her gaze and couldn't help but secretly pout her lips. After she returned to the No Enmity Pavilion and closed the door, she said, "I really didn't expect that Miss Mu would be able to earn that much money by opening a small workshop and tea house. In total, it's only been a year, right?
"Ten thousand taels of silver was so generous that it was thrown out just like that."
"The silver belongs to someone else, so of course you can spend it however you want." Wen mama's expression didn't change in the slightest. Senior Servant Liu realized that her tone was too sour and quickly smiled. "Elder sister, don't be angry, I was just casually saying it. Since Madam and Miss haven't been to the capital, they naturally don't know that the capital has spent a lot of money.
Once he reached the capital, wouldn't he need to rely on the Su Clan to supplement his income? "The head of the house isn't easy either …"
"It's getting late, we still have to get up early tomorrow. Hurry and rest." After Senior Servant Wen finished speaking, she immediately got up to wash her face and rinse her mouth. It seems like the madame has quite a deep affection for her long-lost daughter and her granddaughter. Otherwise, this Senior Servant Wen wouldn't have protected them like this. She should have told the first wife in advance to prevent herself from being eaten by both mother and daughter.
Losses.
On the last night before their departure, Mu Yunyao insisted on pestering Su Qing to sleep with them. Su Qing had no choice but to agree. The mother and daughter pair had finished washing their faces and were lying on the bed in their clothes. Mu Yunyao pulled Su Qing's arm and rolled into it. "Mother, I can't sleep."
Su Qing did the same as she extended her arms to embrace Mu Yunyao, "Mother must have hugged a darling."
"Didn't mother say that I am a pampered girl? You became a darling now? " Mu Yunyao leaned on Su Qing and acted like a spoiled child.
"Mother is that casual, do you take it seriously? However, the skin on his face has not changed at all. "
"I feel like I'm following mom. Who told me to care about you the most!"
"Good, you actually dared to plot against me. Mother is going to get angry." Mother, don't be angry. Yao'er, why don't you pinch your face to vent your anger? "
