Mu Run said, "Okay. If everything goes well, let's go up the mountain to check on the tea trees."
"Let's wait a bit before climbing the mountain. I can help my sister-in-law take a look." Hongmi picked up an elegant and loose-fitting palace dress, measured Mu Run's current waistline, and after confirming that it fit, put it in her suitcase.
Mu Run tidied up the box where she kept her letters.
While flipping through the envelope, I found an unopened letter with no name on it, so it was impossible to tell who wrote it from the outside.
"Hongmi, come here for a second." Mu Run looked at the nameless letter in her hand.
Redmi went over and asked, "What's wrong, sister-in-law?"
"Take this and check if there are any problems." She's not alone now; she needs to avoid anything that might pose an unknown danger.
Hongmi took the letter, first smelling it—just the ordinary smell of paper and ink. She squeezed it; there should be several sheets of paper inside.
"I can't see anything, so I'll open it and take a look."
"Um."
Hongmi walked to the desk by the window, took out a small paper cutter from the drawer, and slowly opened the seal.
Mu Run not only didn't approach, but took two steps back. "You'd better be careful."
"It's alright, just stay away, sister-in-law." Hongmi opened the envelope and poured the contents onto the table.
"Huh? It's a few silver notes."
"Silver notes?"
"Hmm, one thousand taels per sheet, that's a total of... five thousand taels."
"I have no recollection of this banknote."
"There was no information related to the name inside the envelope."
Suddenly, Mu Run remembered something, walked closer to the desk, and picked up the white paper envelope.
Seeing her reaction, Hongmi asked, "Did Sister-in-law remember something?"
"Hmm. I remember who gave it to me."
Who is it?
“Qiaoyu, Yaoyao’s older sister. She bought a box of tea from me, and this is the money for the tea. I didn’t even look at it at the time and gave her five thousand taels.”
"A whole box of tea? How many kilograms is that?"
"I carried about 60 kilograms."
"...This price is too cheap. Up until now, my lowest price is two hundred and twenty taels, and that's the price for acquaintances."
"We're all on the same side, so we'll give you whatever we want."
“Even this isn’t worth that much,” Hongmi laughed. “Qiaoyu really made a killing this time. Sixty catties, and she retailed it for five hundred taels a catty, that’s thirty thousand taels, a net profit of twenty-five thousand taels. Also, at the wedding banquet, she took six packets of gift tea by herself, that’s six catties too, and gift tea is at least a thousand taels a catty on the market now, so she’s almost made her money back just from the gift tea.”
"Human favors are priceless." Mu Run didn't mind and told her to put away the silver notes. "Take them and deposit them into your account."
Hongmi manages the tea business in Chongyang Mountain.
"Okay, I'll put it away for now and put it in storage later."
"Hmm." Mu Run continued sorting through the letters.
Huanhuan and Tuantuan were overjoyed when they learned they were going to Chongyang Mountain to worship the mountain god.
Even though the Chongyang Palace was huge, the two little ones had already explored almost the entire area. Moreover, the Lingchuan Mountains were even more vast and mysterious, and naturally, both of the very curious children wanted to go there.
This trip was very high-profile, with many people lining both sides of the street gazing at the future Queen.
Fu Yunchen did not appear beside her, leaving Mu Run completely alone and exposed to everyone's gaze.
As for Huanhuan and Tuantuan, they were arranged to hide among a dozen or so spacious and luxurious carriages in the caravan. Each carriage was decorated with totems of dragons, phoenixes, auspicious beasts, rare birds, flowers, and plants to confuse them.
