Chapter 169: Yun Cui Pavilion is making money every day
"Hey, boss, I'm sorry, we'll compensate you."
Qingyang stopped him and handed him half a tael of silver in his hand, "The village is gone, and our wife feels bad. It took us a long time to find this place. Now that the whole village is gone, it is inevitable that she will accept it."
No, we'll pay for this bowl, don't be angry..."
The tea shop owner originally wanted to say something, but when he saw the silver handed over, his eyes suddenly lit up.
"It's easy to talk, but you can ask your wife to visit the village near her. The group of people came suddenly at that time. It is said that some people returned to their parents' homes, and some people went out. It is not necessarily that all of them were arrested. In any case,
There are a few who haven’t been caught, so don’t be too sad.”
The tea shop owner comforted him for a few words, then happily went back with the money.
Qingyang didn't know why Yun Miaomiao suddenly became angry. He dismissed the tea shop owner and came back to look at Yun Miaomiao.
"Madam, is there anything wrong with what the tea shop owner said?"
Dongqing slapped the table, "I'm going to interrogate him."
Yun Miaomiao grabbed him and said, "No, 80% of the people in the village are gone. Let's talk about this later. Let's go to Yuncui Pavilion first."
Now that they have returned to Yuan'an County, Yun Cui Pavilion still needs to go back and have a look. Shopkeeper Liu and Xiao Yang don't know what's going on now.
After the incident between Yun's father and Yunmu happened, Doctor Li went back to the capital, and shopkeeper Liu was also focused on Yuncui Pavilion and didn't want to go out too often.
Now Yun Cui Pavilion is completely managed by Xiao Yang, and the account books have been sent directly to Yun Miaomiao. Shopkeeper Liu has completely ignored them.
Perhaps, shopkeeper Liu blamed himself for the mica incident.
Yuncui Pavilion is still the same as in memory, without any changes.
Xiaoyang was busy at the counter, and when she saw someone coming in, she inadvertently raised her head, and her eyes suddenly lit up.
"Sister Yun, why are you here?" Xiao Yang put down the things in his hands and walked over quickly.
Seeing Xiaoyang walking over, Yun Miaomiao was in a trance. She hadn't seen him for a long time, but he had grown a lot taller.
"I'll come back and take a look." Yun Miaomiao glanced at the surrounding environment. There was not much change, "Where is Shopkeeper Liu?"
Hearing Yun Miaomiao's question, Xiaoyang smiled and asked people to sit down, "Shopkeeper Liu is in the backyard. Since last time, Shopkeeper Liu has locked himself in the room every day. Although this thing is made quickly, it is not easy for the body."
It's also very important. I've tried to persuade him several times, but he just doesn't listen. Sister Yun, you should try to persuade him when you come back this time. What will happen if he collapses?"
"Okay, I'll go take a look." Yun Miaomiao agreed.
After a while, she walked towards the backyard in her memory, opened the door and entered Shopkeeper Liu's exclusive room.
"Xiaoyang, I don't want to eat, please go out."
A deep sound like bells and drums sounded, and Yun Miaomiao placed the shortbread in her hand on the table.
"No matter how important jewelry is, it is not as important as your body. Shopkeeper Liu, if you lose your health, where will I find craftsmen with such good skills in the future? Don't you think so?"
A familiar voice sounded, and Shopkeeper Liu suddenly raised his head and looked towards the door. A pretty figure came into view, and his expressionless face was instantly stained with a smile.
"Girl Yun, why are you back?" Shopkeeper Liu asked excitedly.
Yun Miaomiao walked over and looked at the jewelry he was making in his hand, "You probably didn't read the letter I wrote to you. I was holding a wedding in Ruizhou City a few days ago and wanted to invite you to have a wedding drink.
Since you didn't come, I just wanted to visit your old man. This is a wedding cake. You can try it."
"Letter?" Shopkeeper Liu opened his eyes wide, "Are you married? To that boy Xiao Gu?"
Yun Miaomiao nodded, "Yes."
"Hahaha, okay, okay. When I first saw Xiao Gu, I knew he was a good guy. What about him?" Shopkeeper Liu glanced behind her and asked, "Why didn't he follow you?
return?"
Xiaoyang came in with tea and heard his laughter. She sincerely admired Yun Miaomiao. It was Sister Yun who could make the shopkeeper laugh so happily.
"Brother Gu has something to do. He can't accompany Sister Yun to Jiangning this time. Shopkeeper, Sister Yun is here specially. You have to take her to see your finished product. Sister Yun wrote to you a while ago. I'll give it to you.
Put it on the table, you didn't miss Sister Yun's wedding, now you have to compensate Sister Yun and make her a unique phoenix crown."
Shopkeeper Liu suddenly understood, "Yes, yes, you are not here. I have made many finished products and they are placed next door. I have not left you without your phoenix crown. I have already made it for you, as well as our little one."
Yun Su, let’s go, I’ll take you to have a look.”
"No rush." Yun Miaomiao grabbed his hand, "Xiaoyang said you haven't had a good meal in several days. Now that I'm back, I'll show you my skills. Stop doing the work you're doing and accompany me out.
Take a walk?”
Shopkeeper Liu immediately agreed, "Okay, I will go out with you for a nice walk today."
Yun Miaomiao supported him and walked out. Qingyang and Dongqing stood at the door. She thought about the dishes she was going to make later, then told a few ingredients and asked one of them to buy them.
Shopkeeper Liu also noticed the two people next to Yun Miaomiao and asked curiously, "What is this?"
"He was worried when I came back alone, so he gave me two of the people waiting around to protect my safety." Yun Miaomiao explained, "Look, Yun Cui Pavilion is very impressive now. We were there back then."
The idea of becoming bigger is half done. Shopkeeper Liu, what happened back then was not your fault, it was the fault of the Zhao family and has nothing to do with you. If you make yourself live in guilt all day because of this, I will not let you go.
assured."
Shopkeeper Liu paused and glanced at Yuncuige behind him, "Did that brat Xiaoyang tell you that?"
Yun Miaomiao smiled and said, "I can see it myself without him having to tell me. If you don't even look at the account books, then the money you receive each month is several times that of before. Don't you think I'm easy to fool?"
"You girl~" Shopkeeper Liu smiled, "I really can't hide anything from you."
"The matter is over. Shopkeeper Liu, you have earned me so much money now, but I won't be able to spend it all in the future."
Shopkeeper Liu gave her an angry look, "There's no way we can spend all the money. Although I don't go out, I know that there is a drought outside. Food cannot grow. The price of rice has risen to fifty cents per catty. What's wrong with you?
How long can silver last?"
Well, you are awesome.
"Then you'd better help me earn money, but I still have to eat this meal." Yun Miaomiao retorted.
Shopkeeper Liu was interrupted by her, and the knot in his heart that had been in his heart for more than a year was relieved.
This girl probably came back specially because she knew she was depressed.
"By the way." Yun Miaomiao thought of Jiangning Village, "You are close to Jiangning Village. When I came back this time, I heard that the entire village was kidnapped. What happened?"
When Shopkeeper Liu saw her asking, the smile on his face also faded, "I think I came to your house. I was about to leave the city gate and go to Jiangning Village to clean your house. Although you are not here, but
I can't leave such a nice yard empty. Occasionally, I will go back to chat with your parents. Before I reached the entrance of the village, I saw a group of people wearing green clothes, riding high horses, and entering Jiangning with big swords in their hands.
We enter the village in the morning and leave with a whole village of people tied up in the evening."
"You came here to arrest someone so openly, why didn't anyone go to Magistrate Zhao?"
It is impossible for County Magistrate Zhao not to receive any news about such a big matter.
Shopkeeper Liu sighed, "Why not? As long as people leave Yuan'an County, they will be knocked unconscious and sent back within a few days. After this, no one dares to go back or mention this matter again."
Shopkeeper Liu and Xiao Yang stayed in Yuncui Pavilion all day. When they found out about this, they also thought about going to County Magistrate Zhao to talk about it. They were sent several messages in a row, but none of them were sent out. Xiao Yang was afraid of him.
When something happened, he was taken back to Yun Cui Pavilion. He went there several times but was sent back all the time.
If the news cannot get out to Yuan'an County, no one will dare to take the risk.
Over time, things in Jiangning Village were replaced by other things.
For example, the plague!
Yun Miaomiao understood that if she didn't mention this matter, shopkeeper Liu would probably have forgotten it.
"But!" Shopkeeper Liu suddenly said, "I remember at the time, when I heard the leaders talking, their accents didn't sound like they were bandits, but they sounded a bit like they were from the capital. I don't know if I was nervous and heard wrong.
Anyway, some people said that they saw that group of people dressed like Qin Lanhe's bandits. This didn't happen in other villages. It was just Jiangning Village where an entire village was kidnapped. What happened?
It's been so long, I'm afraid it won't be easy to check."
Capital! Qin Lanhe!
No matter which one of these two places it is, there is something fishy about it.
"I'm going to come back to see you. Naturally, people from the government will take care of this matter, and there will be a result by then." Yun Miaomiao said with relief.
Shopkeeper Liu also knew that this was not something he should worry about, so he did not continue to worry about it. He took Yun Miaomiao for a walk on the street. After returning, Yun Miaomiao entered the kitchen.
Shopkeeper Liu was sitting in the yard, and sitting across from him was Qingyang. He also learned a lot from Gu Fengqing, and playing chess was one of them.
Dongqing was in the kitchen, helping Yun Miaomiao light the fire and cook. After a while, the aroma of the food wafted out of the kitchen.
"I haven't smelled this smell for a long time." Shopkeeper Liu lamented, "In the past, in Jiangning Village, I ate the food cooked by Yun Yatou every day. Thinking about those days, I have to swallow several times in my life."
Yun Miaomiao cooked a total of seven dishes, one soup, and ate white rice. Xiaoyang was lucky enough to eat Yun Miaomiao's cooking once before. This time, seeing so many meals, she couldn't bear it anymore.
"Sister Yun, your craftsmanship is really good. I can eat three bowls of rice."
Shopkeeper Liu also nodded, especially the braised pork, "Your sister Yun's cooking skills are not even comparable to those of the imperial chefs in the palace. With your cooking skills, I can only manage to eat a few bites."
Xiaoyang smiled awkwardly, "My cooking skills are not as good as Sister Yun's, but they are not as bad as you said, the shopkeeper."
This sentence made everyone burst into laughter. After finishing the meal, Yun Miaomiao followed Shopkeeper Liu into his treasure house.
The room is filled with shelves, on which are placed the jewelry made by Shopkeeper Liu, including jade bracelets carved with dragons and phoenixes, exquisite hairpins, and attractive hairpins and hairpins that look like famous paintings. In the middle of the room, there are
There was a table, and on the table was a large carved wooden box.
"What's this?"
The room is filled with a dazzling array of jewelry, but this wooden box is placed in the most conspicuous place, and it is simple and unpretentious.
Yun Miaomiao walked over curiously. Shopkeeper Liu was mysterious and didn't say what it was, so he just asked Yun Miaomiao to open it.
"You'll know when you open it and take a look."
Yun Miaomiao glanced at Shopkeeper Liu, and opened the wooden box with his own hands under his gaze, revealing the true identity of the contents inside.
Even Yun Miaomiao, who was well-informed, gasped when he saw what was inside. It was a phoenix crown.
Shopkeeper Liu looked at her reaction with satisfaction, took the things out of the wooden box with his own hands, and put them on the table.
Only at this moment did Yun Miaomiao completely see the whole picture of this phoenix crown.
The rose-red heavy lotus is located in the center, with white silk flowers and brocade magnolias on both sides, plus light orange feathers and blue-green crimson peonies for embellishment, and plump shark beads are hanging down on both sides.
The ever-lifelike phoenix is coiled around the double lotus flower. Such an exquisite phoenix crown is probably the only one in the world.
Even the earrings are made of filigree agate, and the tassels are made of conch red Ruyi tassels.
It was hard for her to imagine how Shopkeeper Liu made this thing.
"What is this?" Yun Miaomiao took a while to find her voice and asked.
Shopkeeper Liu said with a smile, "It was originally a dowry for you, but it's not too late now. If it weren't for the drawings you gave me, which pulled me out of the confused days, I wouldn't be as free and easy as I am now. This is my little bit.
Be careful, you can't shirk it."
"This is too precious. Among other things, it's the shark beads. I heard that the phoenix crown worn by the imperial concubine only has a few. I'm afraid your phoenix crown has more than a few."
"Her phoenix crown has shark beads because when I was making your phoenix crown, I had leftovers. I couldn't make her phoenix crown too shabby, so I added them on. It's a little more gorgeous, but far from it.
You are so exquisite."
Shopkeeper Liu was quite proud, and Yun Miaomiao also knew that he had never liked those people in the palace, but he felt a little happy to let the concubine use the remaining shark beads.
"You gave me such an important thing, and I don't even know what I should give you in return." Yun Miaomiao knew that not only was it tedious for Shopkeeper Liu to make these things, but also just collecting those things would not be easy.
"These things don't actually cost anything," Shopkeeper Liu said sheepishly.
Seeing her confused expression, he couldn't help but remind her, "You forgot, it was you who set the rules back then. If you want to customize jewelry, firstly, you can buy it with money, and secondly, you can use their own rough stones to customize it.
Just pay for the labor. They sent a lot of things. After I finished making their things, there were still some leftovers. So I negotiated with them not to pay for the labor and just give me the leftover materials.
They were also happy, and I also gained something, so I got these treasures that are not considered treasures."
It can still be like this!
Yun Miaomiao smacked her tongue slightly, no wonder Yun Cui Pavilion's business was not very good before, but it was still possible to have a good time here.
It turns out that all this is due to shopkeeper Liu, an old fox.
The key is that if she likes this phoenix crown, "then I won't be polite."
"You're welcome. Just cook me more delicious meals in the future. Your cooking skills really make people want to eat more." Shopkeeper Liu waved his hand. This really didn't matter to him.
What.
Yun Miaomiao stayed in Yuan'an County for five days, during which time she also asked Qingyang to go to surrounding villages to inquire about Jiangning Village, but to no avail.
Before leaving, Yun Miaomiao bought a storage space from the mall, spending 20,000 taels of silver. The jewelry was too ostentatious, and she didn't dare to just take it back. She happened to see a storage space for sale in the mall, so she bought it.
Shopkeeper Liu didn't lack anything, so Yun Miaomiao bought him some jewelry design drawings at the mall and gave them to him.
Shopkeeper Liu was still immersed in the sadness that Yun Miaomiao was about to leave. When he saw the novel design drawings, he instantly became energetic and dived in. Even when Yun Miaomiao and the others left, they didn't come out to see them off.
Xiaoyang looked at the closed door dumbfounded, and handed the brocade box in his hand to Yun Miaomiao, "Sister Yun, this is the dividend of Yun Cui Pavilion this year. Magistrate Zhao has said his share in the future
I'll give it to you directly. Our shopkeeper said that without you, there would be no Yuncui Pavilion, and the original agreement would be invalid. Leave him 10%, and what he has is yours. This is 90% of the dividend, so you can get it in the future.
Don’t forget him and come back often.”
The money was all heavy. Yun Miaomiao looked at the brocade box in her hand, why didn't either of them look down on money?
Whoever cooperates to open a shop is not trying every possible means to get more money from the other party, but why do they all retreat when they get to Yun Miaomiao?
"Okay, if you have anything, please send a letter to Magistrate Zhao of Ruizhou City. He is my godfather and knows your relationship with me. He can take care of you to some extent. I can rest assured that Shopkeeper Liu is old and has to
You just have to be more careful, and don't let him do anything he wants when it comes to eating."
Xiaoyang kept Yun Miaomiao's advice in mind, "I will, Sister Yun, just go with confidence and remember to come back and see us."
"Okay." Yun Miaomiao took the brocade box and got on the carriage, then waved goodbye to Xiaoyang.
After the carriage had gone away, Shopkeeper Liu walked out of the yard and stood next to Xiaoyang, "Everyone is gone?"
Xiaoyang looked at him in surprise, "Shopkeeper, why are you out? Sister Yun and the others are all gone."
"I know." Shopkeeper Liu sighed, "I don't know what to do when she goes to the capital this time. Those people in the capital are life-eating ghosts who eat people without spitting out their bones. I don't know if Xiao Gu can protect her with her small body."
she."
Xiao Yang was confused when he heard this, and asked in confusion, "Then shopkeeper, why don't you persuade Sister Yun to keep her here? The capital is so dangerous, what if she happens to..."
"Stop? Can I stop you?" Shopkeeper Liu glanced at him angrily, turned around and entered the backyard.
