SFS Chapter 152: Set off! Target Anguo!
Chapter 152: Set off! Target Anguo!
Fortunately, Mu Lingyan didn't know what she was thinking, otherwise she would definitely tell her that she had seen the market and seen silver, but had never seen so many people lining up to give her silver!
Moreover, after a whole day today, she found that the customers' responses were surprisingly good. It was not difficult to predict that Hongyunlou's business would definitely be good in the future.
How could she not be happy when she thought that she would never have to worry about money again?
"I wonder how things are going with my sister?" Mu Lingyan, who was fiddling with an abacus, suddenly asked.
Su Fuying was also very curious about this question and immediately said:
"Would you like to know if you go and see it?"
Cheng Yingying naturally had no objection and followed the two of them in a carriage to Hongyun Tower in the north of the city.
As soon as I walked in and saw the thick account book on the counter, I knew that the situation here must be good.
"Where is my sister?" Mu Lingyan asked Qin Feng who was guarding the stairs on the second floor as soon as she entered the door.
"Madam and the young master are resting inside." Because there were some clerks and accountants there, Qin Feng did not reveal their identities, but changed their names.
"Rest at this time? Have they already had dinner?" Mu Lingyan asked in confusion.
Qin Feng shook his head:
“No!”
Mu Lingyan was about to continue asking when she saw her sister walk out with a smug look on her face:
"Why are you here?"
Mu Lingyan spoke subconsciously:
"Aren't you here to see the Emperor... Fourth Sister? Oh, and where's my brother-in-law?"
Mu Lingshuang glanced at her own sister calmly and said in a cold voice:
"Why? Do you have something to do with her?"
Mu Lingyan: "..."
Why does her face change when her brother-in-law and sister are mentioned? What a shame! I'm not competing with her for her.
But thinking of the purpose of her visit, Mu Lingyan asked with a smug look on her face:
"All the dishes we prepared are sold out. How are you doing?"
Mu Lingshuang raised her chin slightly and gestured towards the counter:
"The account book is over there, take a look yourself."
Seeing her sister turning around and leaving, Mu Lingyan quickly said:
"Fourth sister, where are you going?"
"Call your brother-in-law for dinner." Mu Lingshuang said lightly, turned around and left.
Today's opening went smoothly, and she can now plan for the next steps.
After being tossed around for the entire morning and successfully missing the grand opening of the restaurant, Fang Yuanqi saw Mu Lingshuang coming in and didn't want to give this hateful guy a good face.
But Gou Sisi said he was going to take her out to play, or to travel abroad, and Fang Yuanqi found that she didn't seem so angry anymore!
Mu Lingshuang, who was familiar with the process, dispelled his wife's anger and coaxed her softly to come out for dinner with her.
Then after dinner in the evening, Su Fuying, Mu Lingyan and Cheng Yingying, who were grinning from ear to ear, continued to settle accounts under the lamp... Mu Lingshuang took his wife, who had slept all afternoon, out for a meal.
The two of them strolled up the mountain, and when Mu Lingyan and Su Fuying reacted, the couple had already packed up and set off for Anguo.
Mu Lingyan, who was working hard here, was furious when she heard that her imperial sister and brother-in-law had gone out to play. She angrily found her mother and asked her to judge the matter.
"Mother, don't you think my sister is going too far? We agreed to open a restaurant together, but she quietly took her brother-in-law away. What's going on?"
Seeing her little daughter's indignant expression, the Queen shook her head and laughed, but still agreed:
“That’s really excessive!”
Seeing that her little daughter was still getting angry, the queen said helplessly:
"Somebody come!"
Soon two palace maids came in carrying a tray covered with red silk.
Mu Lingyan's anger subsided a little, and she asked in confusion:
"what is this?"
The Queen cleared her throat and pointed to one of the trays, saying calmly:
“Here’s how to make ice.”
Mu Lingyan's eyes lit up, and she pointed to another tray and asked:
"What about here?"
The Queen picked up a grape and put it in her mouth, then said slowly:
"Here are the twenty thousand taels of silver notes left by your sister for you to use to expand the restaurant."
Hearing this, Mu Lingyan's eyes brightened and she muttered:
"The emperor sister is not bad."
Then he left happily with the things on the two trays.
On the other side, Mu Lingshuang, who had set out early in the morning, had already left Fengyang Town with his wife.
"Sister, why do we have to go to Anguo?" Fang Yuanqi, who had just learned the destination of this trip from Mu Lingshuang, asked in confusion.
Mu Lingshuang did not mention that she was going to look for the High Priest of Anguo, but only answered evasively:
"I'll take you to see the customs and practices that are different from those in Da Qi."
Mu Lingshuang's words aroused Fang Yuanqi's curiosity:
"Different? Is there something special about Anguo?"
Mu Lingshuang slightly turned sideways, took the curious guy into her arms, and then spoke slowly:
"Anguo is different from other countries. They respect women, and..."
At this point, Mu Lingshuang deliberately kept the secret. Fang Yuanqi, who was hugged, raised his head impatiently and asked:
"And what? Tell me, sister!"
Facing his wife's eager look, Mu Lingshuang smiled and continued:
"And the Queen of Anguo also likes women. They even held a grand wedding a few years ago."
"Really?" Fang Yuanqi asked curiously.
Seeing Mu Lingshuang nod, Fang Yuanqi suddenly remembered what she had just said about Anguo being a country where women are respected.
Looking down at his clothes, Fang Yuanqi quickly broke free from his wife's arms and began to search in the carriage.
"What are you looking for?" Mu Lingshuang sat up and asked in confusion.
"I'm looking for the women's clothes you bought for me. Didn't you say that women are respected in Anguo? I'm afraid someone will mistake me for a man and snatch me away." Fang Yuanqi replied without raising his head, his hands still rummaging through the bag.
Mu Lingshuang: “…”
Is her wife serious about snatching someone away from her?
Don't say Yuan Qi is not a man, even if he is a man, so what? She wants to see who dares to snatch him from her hands.
Moreover, it is still at least half a month's journey from here to Anguo. What's the point of changing now? We will be torn to pieces before we reach Anguo's territory.
Suddenly, Mu Lingshuang's eyes lit up and he tried to stop his wife.
Change, change quickly! The road is so boring, she is ready to fight...
Then the group walked and stopped along the way, until they had torn off all the women's clothes that Fang Yuanqi had brought with him, but they still couldn't leave Qi State...
