C33 First Business

Time flowed on, minute after minute. In the blink of an eye, three to four hours had passed. Seeing that the sky was gradually getting darker, Lu Jinfeng became anxious and pulled Chen Mu's hand.

"It's already late, let's just buy some clothes and go back. Mother will worry."

Chen Mu Mu shrugged. "I want to watch a show. You should head back first."

Lu Jinfeng was late. According to Madam Lee's personality, he would definitely be extremely worried, but she had to stay because she saw one of the business opportunities.

In any case, Lu Jinfeng wasn't in cahoots with her, so she just let him go first.

Lu Jinfeng's eyes moved, he looked straight at her: "Must you do this? What will you do if I leave? "

"There's an inn in the town, and staying for a night would cost a few dozen copper coins. Don't worry about me." Chen Mu Mu Mu waved his hands, as though he wasn't worried for his own safety.

"You …" Lu Jinfeng muttered to himself, hesitated a little and said, "Then you should be careful."

"Alright." "Yes." Chen Mu replied. However, before he could finish his words, the youth by his side decisively turned and walked out of the room.

Chen Mu couldn't help but be taken aback by that crisp and direct posture.

Although she was the one who told him to go back, and they really didn't have any deep friendship between them, but since he left so straightforwardly, could it be that he wasn't worried about her at all?

After all, she was only a twelve-year-old girl. Wasn't she afraid that someone would kidnap and sell her to?

They had already said that a couple would spend a hundred days in peace. This guy didn't even have a shred of a relationship left in his heart, much less a shred of kindness.

Looking at Lu Jinfeng's leaving figure, Chen Mu was silent. His heart was a little stuffed, just like a puppy that had just been raised up and ran into someone else's embrace.

This inhumane brat, she would ignore him in the future.

Chen Mu's heart was stuck in his throat for a moment before he regained his senses and continued watching. There were many scenery in her life, and she could occasionally stop, but she wouldn't stay for a lifetime. She would stay at Lu Jinfeng's home to live with him and his mother, only because she felt a little warmth from their bodies.

If she was no longer feeling warmth, leaving would not cause her to feel any reluctance, leaving Madam Lee and him would merely be a scenery on the road of her life.

After nearly an hour, the sun was already setting in the western mountains. The tailor of the village took out two newly sewn sets of clothing.

"So ugly, are you making clothes for me or for the beggars outside!?" The young lady picked up her clothes and swept them with her eyes, then she immediately stood up and rubbed her sore shoulders. She did not lack anger in her eyes, "Truly, the one who claims to be the largest cloth farm in the entire Linzhou City. Since you can't do your own business, you better not do your own business anymore. I will definitely tell them the culinary skills of your Feather Workshop s are only mediocre, they can't even make a single decent piece of clothing. "

Both the tailor and the embroidery lady looked embarrassed. They were probably used to being praised by others. Now that such a god had suddenly stepped on them, they could only feel angry but not utter a single word.

"Miss Feng, we have already made you nearly ten sets of clothes according to the most favorite style of the noble lady, but you still look down on us. We have already done our best."

"If I had tried my best, I would not have been able to do such a small thing." The girl became willful and threw the things on the ground, "Since you're being so perfunctory with me, then you should bear the consequences!"

"Miss Feng, we are really trying our best to satisfy your needs. However, our abilities are limited and we are unable to make clothes that suit your needs." The manager immediately knelt down, "Eldest young miss, since the lord has a lot of resources, please spare our Feather Workshop, it will not be easy for us common folk to live. If you seal our Feather Workshop, how can we live?"

"Young Lady Feng, please spare us and let us have some food." The four or five tailors and the embroidery lady also kneeled down, begging the young lady for mercy.

"You're using this to pressure me again." The girl was so angry that she laughed instead, "So you guys can't make proper clothes, but you're blaming me for being too rude? If you have the ability, then don't call yourself the number one cloth farm in Linzhou City. Since you have obtained the title, then don't say such shameful words. "

She folded the banknotes in her hand and kept them. Then, she walked to the door and looked at the signboard hanging on the beam of the door as she coldly smiled.

"Fine, don't say that I'm not giving face to the Shangguan family. I'll give you guys a chance to make my favorite clothes within three days. Otherwise, just wait for the door to close!"

"Young Lady Feng!" The steward wailed and wanted to continue acting pitiful. However, the young girl had already left with the maid.

As she left, her gaze swept past Chen Mu Mu Mu and she nodded at her.

The young girl was expressing her goodwill towards her? After exchanging courteous words with Zhang Xuan, Chen Mu Mu Mu Mu smiled back at her.

When the manager saw this, his eyes immediately darkened.

Chen Mu Mu Mu wasn't afraid either, so he stood at his original spot, waiting for the steward to make a move on him.

She had been watching the show the entire time and hadn't bought anything, but the steward hadn't chased her away. Naturally, it was to the young girl's face that she was stopped. Now that the young girl had left, she would definitely come after settling some debts.

However, she had to wait for someone else to arrive before the steward could find her.

"Mu Mu."

Upon hearing the familiar voice and seeing the familiar face of a handsome youth, Chen Mu Mu Mu was slightly taken aback. "Didn't you go back? Why did you come back?"

Lu Jinfeng's face turned slightly red, his breathing became ragged, as if he had traveled quite a distance. He wiped the sweat off his forehead and said: "Since you're here, of course I'll come back."

Hearing this, Chen Mu Mu Mu's heart stirred and he couldn't help but mock him: "What? Am I rather important to you?"

"Of course it's important." Lu Jinfeng replied. After he finished speaking, he realized what he had said and hurriedly added, "Don't misunderstand, you are my mother's goddaughter after all. If something were to happen to you, my mother would definitely worry.

Chen Mu Mu was speechless. She had never misunderstood him before, so why was she in such a hurry to explain herself?

As he spoke, the hesitant manager finally moved in front of her and looked at her hesitantly. "Miss, what do you want to buy?"

There was no need for someone in charge to personally come out and say hello. Furthermore, his previous attitude was so vile, yet now he was so gentle. He definitely had a request.

Chen Mu Mu smiled faintly as he pointed to the two pieces of cloth by his side. "Nuo, this."

"A total of thirty silver." The manager glanced at it, recognized the price and announced it.

Lu Jinfeng's face became even redder and he couldn't help but pull Chen Mu's sleeve.

They couldn't afford such expensive clothes. He only had around three hundred copper coins on him.

Chen Mu Mu stood firmly and smiled at the steward.

The steward's heart skipped a beat and he said: "Young miss is wise and perceptive, it is also the honor of these two cloths. I have a request for you. If you can do it then I will give it to you."

These words were not nice. It was clearly a trade, yet she said it as if she was begging.

Chen Mu Mu smirked. "I don't lack this little bit of silver. It depends on what you want me to help you with."

's eyes flashed as he quietly stood to the side and did not try to poke holes in her words.

"Young miss is so straightforward." The steward faintly smiled. Being the steward of such a small house was a common occurrence. He could tell with a single glance whether Chen Mu Mu had any money or not, and he could tell with a single glance whether Chen Mu had a good relationship with the Young Lady Feng.

At the same time, he could tell that Chen Mu was a little smart.

Just by casually giving it a try, he was able to deduce Chen Mu Mu's intentions. As long as you are willing, the following matters will be easy to handle.

He cleared his throat and said to Chen Mu, "Miss, please, we'll talk while we're at it."

As he led Chen Mu to the back of the hall, Chen Mu Mu Mu Mu Mu did not hesitate to follow. Lu Jinfeng was afraid that something bad would happen to Chen Mu, hence he hurriedly followed along.

"Tell me, what can I do for you?" Upon entering the inner hall, Chen Mu Mu Mu Mu went straight to the point.

They all understood that there was no need to take so many turns.

"I see that Miss has a good relationship with Young Lady Feng. How about, you help me ask Young Lady Feng what kind of clothes she wants to wear to fit her?" When the steward saw that she was straightforward, he directly said.

"Young Lady Feng?" Chen Mu Mu Mu weighed the words in his hand and stared at the steward without speaking a word.

The manager laughed awkwardly: "What, you don't know who that Young Lady Feng is?"

"It's not like you don't have eyes. You can't even see that." "However, even though I don't have a deep relationship with her, you can see that she has a much better impression of me than she does of you. Just because there are some things that you can't do doesn't mean that I can't do them."

The steward opened his mouth, and his expression froze. He seemed to swallow the words in his mouth for a while, and then said: "So, the young miss is very confident in this matter?"

"Naturally, I never boast." Chen Mu's face didn't turn red as he panted.

"How confident are you?"

"This will depend on your sincerity. If your sincerity is good enough, then 100% is not impossible." Chen Mu smiled.

It wasn't that she was boasting, but she had heard a few important points from the conversation between the young girl and the overseer. Firstly, the young girl had the suspicion that she was intentionally causing trouble, and secondly, that she really needed a set of beautiful clothes in order to give an impression of her beauty to an important person.

These two points were not difficult for her. She had been doing business for many years, so she could naturally see the business opportunities involved.

"What kind of sincerity does the lady want?" The manager's gaze flickered as he asked.

"This is your sincerity. Your problem is not mine." Chen Mu Mu Mu directly kicked the ball back to him, and reminded him, "Manager, before you start bidding, you must think carefully, Young Lady Feng originally had some intentions of finding fault with me. I have already helped you greatly."

In the competition of shopping malls, whoever first revealed their bottom line would lose.

The manager's expression changed, and after hesitating for a bit, he smiled: "Of course, if xiaojie is willing to help our Feather Workshop with such a big favor, we would naturally be grateful. The two pieces of cloth that you took a fancy to earlier were worth thirty silver taels on the market.

Oh, he seems pretty generous! But, since it was an emergency, Feather Workshop could earn a lot of money and solve the problem. How could a mere thirty silver be enough!
