Mu Run looked at her and asked, "What's so mysterious about this?"
Madam Cai handed him the note: "Master Bai participated in the Tea King competition on behalf of Madam and won second place. Many tea merchants have asked Master Bai to place orders for tea, and these are the next few orders that Master Bai can't refuse. They said they can deliver the tea anytime, but the requirement is that it be the same quality as the tea used in the competition. As for the price, it's up to Madam. Master Bai's point is that these tea merchants are all well-off, especially one surnamed Bai, who can be asked for a hefty price!"
"...Surname Bai? He also has the surname Bai, could it be that he's from the same clan?" Mu Run took the paper.
After seeing the type and quantity of tea requested, Mu Run looked back at the boxes of raw tea and said to Cai Shi, "No wonder you brought so much raw tea; half of it has already been sold."
"Yes, Madam." Madam Cai hadn't expected it to sell so quickly. She had initially thought it was just something the Madam was doing for fun, and that no one might even want it. The villagers were even discussing whether to ask someone to buy it secretly, fearing it would embarrass the Madam.
Mu Run handed the paper back to Cai Shi, saying, "Go give it to Xiao Hong and have her register all of this in the ledger. As for the price, I'll do some research in the capital before deciding."
"Okay." Madam Cai took the paper and went to find Hongmi.
Mu Run pulled a strap from his sleeve, neatly tied it up, and began sorting the raw tea leaves.
*******
A very ornate-looking carriage stopped in front of the Fu residence.
First, a maid with a cold expression stepped out of the carriage. She stepped off the carriage on a stool, then walked straight to the brand-new vermilion gate of the Fu residence, pulled the door knocker, and knocked on the door.
In the open pavilion of the Fu Mansion's outer garden, Mo Xiaowan lay asleep on a wisteria rocking chair... She must have been having a dream, because her fair and delicate face slowly turned blush, and her body swayed slightly, her brows full of shyness.
A knocking sound suddenly rang out.
Mo Xiaowan, who was deep in a dream, woke up, feeling limp and unwilling to move.
But the knocking kept going, so Mo Xiaowan finally got up from the rattan chair and said irritably, "Are you in such a hurry to be reborn?"
The maid outside the gate knocked for a long time, but no one answered, so she turned around and went back to the carriage.
I had only taken a few steps when I heard the gate open with a loud bang.
A beautiful and slender young woman emerged from inside.
The maid looked her up and down, and finally her gaze fell on her hair, which was styled in double buns, meaning she was a maid.
"Did you knock on the door?" Mo Xiaowan asked the maid.
The other party replied, "My young lady wishes to see Madam Yun."
Madam Yun…Mu Run? Mo Xiaowan's face showed increasing impatience and even displeasure. "Who is your young lady?"
"My young lady is the second young lady of the Prime Minister's mansion."
"The second young lady of the Prime Minister's residence? Is she the eldest young lady's younger sister who was defiled by Prince Zhou?"
These words were an insult to the woman's reputation, and the maid's face immediately turned ashen. "How dare you! How can you speak like that? My second young lady is the second young lady. What does this have to do with the eldest young lady?"
"Isn't that so? Even the Prime Minister's daughter is nothing special. If Prince Zhou doesn't marry her, he should hurry up and become a nun and pray to Buddha to bless him so that he can be reborn with a pure body in his next life."
"What a sharp tongue!" A charming and elegant woman emerged from the carriage, dressed in fine silk and brocade, adorned with jade beads and ornaments, exuding the refined and noble air of a noble lady.
