Chapter 151: A Tea House (Pink Ticket 640 Plus Update)

  A sable fur cloak, that's something only royalty and nobility can wear... Shen Zhen "just a former chief assistant", still had his house confiscated as the former chief assistant, making a sable fur cloak is too extravagant!

  However, thinking of Shen Zhen made Shen Muqing feel relieved.

  "Otherwise, I'll go to the warehouse of that house tomorrow when I'm at the Wen Tea House and see if there's any good fur material. First make a fur coat for Master and Second Master."

  "No, no!" Aunt Chen waved her hand repeatedly. "I didn't come to tell you about my troubles." As she spoke, her expression even turned somewhat ferocious. "I have to get back the things that belong to our Da She... those were left to us by Madame."

  The goal has been achieved, and Shen Muqing's expression naturally relaxed.

  "She hesitated and said: 'How about this, would it be okay?'"

  Chen Yiniang gazed at Shen Muqing.

  "I'll lend Zhou Zhanggui to Auntie for now, and I'll run around more at Yiwentea house."

  "Thank you so much, madam!" Chen's aunt exclaimed with gratitude.

  Going to work and being a housewife, most people would choose to be working women!

  The next day, Shen Muqing wore a narrow-sleeved jacket and a pleated skirt, and went to a tea house with Qi Jinbiao.

  She sat in the back room of Zhou Bing's tea house, drinking tea and reading books, while Ying Fen and a fellow named Li Si Guan from the shop acted as supervisors.

  After two or three days, the newly purchased courtyard and the passageway between the houses were completed. The workers came and went, passing by Zhou Bing's account room. Shen Muqing saw that Ying was quick-witted and sharp, while Li Si Guan was honest and capable. In the morning, he went to the shop to take a look, then gave instructions to the two of them, preparing to go to the White Paper Workshop's residence in a few days.

  She had just walked out of the account room when she heard a woman's loud shout from the direction of the shop: "Where is your master? Call your master out!" with an aggressive tone.

  Shen Mu Qing furrowed his brow and retreated behind the lattice door.

  "Excuse me, madam, what brings you to our humble abode?" The second shopkeeper asked with courtesy and respect, "Or would you like to have a cup of tea in the parlor first? I'll also..."

  Before the second shopkeeper finished speaking, the woman had already loudly shouted: "I'm not going anywhere! If you don't call out your master today, I'll sit here and won't leave!"

  Shen Mu Qing listened quietly to the unpleasant tone and looked up to see who was speaking.

  I saw a woman, about thirty-five or thirty-six years old, wearing a white silk jacket, an official green cotton skirt, and a watery satin jacket. Her appearance was ordinary, but her skin was delicate and fair, and the several pieces of gold jewelry on her body were exquisitely crafted, clearly not a poor person.

  She really couldn't guess what this woman was after.

  A tea shop sells tea leaves, which are not food, so it's unlikely that drinking them would cause diarrhea.

  Shen Mu Qing let Ying Fen go and bring Li Si Guan who was busy in the back.

  "Go and tell Second Master to say something. Quarreling in the shop is the most damaging to our reputation. Regardless of who's right or wrong, please invite them to the elegant room first... As long as the conditions are not excessive, try to satisfy them as much as possible."

  Li Si complied with the order and left.

  Shen Muqing looked at him and whispered a few words to the second shopkeeper, who nodded repeatedly. Then, smiling, he said to the woman: "You want to see our master, but you have to give us time to inform him first. You sit here, and if you catch a chill from the draft of the curtain opening and closing, it will be our fault."

  That woman, upon seeing Li Si Guan come out, kept her eyes on him the whole time. She didn't pay attention to Er Zhuang Gui, but instead asked Li Si Guan: "You're quite young and able to speak properly. Are you not someone from Shen family's side?"

  It was just after the beginning of the first watch, and there were only three or two customers in the shop. The woman's words made everyone pause for a moment.

  Especially Shen Muqing's heart sank.

  She thought she had never quarreled with anyone, but this woman was well-prepared and obviously not good-natured... She worried that someone had instructed the woman to make trouble!

  Li Si also thought of this.

  Yiwén Tea House was opened by Shen Jia and the third young master of Dingyuan Houfu, Liang Jimin's aunt. This wasn't a secret in the capital, nor could it be hidden. Yiwén Tea House received many curious customers because of this and made several big sales.

  Before Li Si could speak, the woman had already said: "You'd better go and bring your aunt over - if I wanted to make things difficult for you, in another hour I'll come and cause a commotion, and I'm afraid your tea shop will become the talk of the town again. Since I've given you some face, you should also give us some dignity."

  Who are we? Who is it?

  This woman is not only clever but also efficient in handling matters and definitely not an ordinary person.

  Li Si did not dare to turn his head to look at Shen Muqing's place, fearing that this woman would see through it. He hastily said: "This lady doesn't know, I'm just an apprentice in this tea shop. To be honest, our family has been taking care of the Wen Tea Shop for two days, but today we are whitewashing the walls, and the workers are coming in and out. Our lady didn't come over today - she only sent her personal maid to take a look."

  Shen Mu Qing saw that the woman was acting fiercely and had originally planned to come out personally to receive her, but after hearing Li Si Guan's words, she instead didn't dare to show her face.

  The woman turned her head and smiled, saying: "I said, how can I see the Shen family's carriage but not see the Shen family's lady..."

  Li Siyuan and Ying Fen, even Shen Muqing, all breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts.

  If Li Si had not added that last sentence, others might have thought Shen Muqing was afraid of trouble and would rather suffer loss at home.

  "In that case, I'll trouble you to pass on a message. The woman smiled and said, 'Tomorrow afternoon at noon, I'll come visit your young lady again... if she doesn't come, then I'll have no choice but to go to the Shen family to find her!' The last sentence was laced with a hidden threat."

  After she finished speaking, she didn't wait for the people in the teahouse to respond and turned around to leave.

  "Hurry up and go take a look at what kind of car she's taking!"

  Ying hurried out and came back to report: "It's just an ordinary black lacquered flat-headed carriage, milady..." Her tone was quite dejected.

  Shen Muqing was also somewhat disappointed, but still patted Yunfen's hand to comfort her.

  The two shopkeepers were old hands at dealing with the public, and who didn't know what kind of place a small tea house was? From high-ranking officials to lowly clerks, they all gave them some face, and they also acted doubly cautious. Since opening up, they had never lost their temper with anyone before, this was still the first time they encountered such a customer.

  He walked over with a worried face and said cautiously: "Miss, should we report this to the authorities?"

  Shen Mu Qing thought for a moment and said, "Forget it. What she said makes sense too. If she came to cause trouble intentionally, waiting another hour would be enough; if she had malicious intentions towards me, she wouldn't have asked to meet at the One Ink Teahouse... We're running a business, we don't have time, energy or people to deal with disputes, I'll go see her tomorrow."

  The second shopkeeper also knew that Shen Muqing was right, and said: "Don't worry, madam. Tomorrow when you come, bring 5 or 6 strong and sturdy house servants, if there's anything going on, we won't be afraid."

  Ying Fan suddenly said: "Which of the servants in our house knows how to fight? I think it's better to invite some escorts from the escort agency!"

  If the servants in the house are transferred, Shen Zhen and Liu Niang will definitely notice something.

  "Alright, Second Master, you go to the escort agency and invite a few tough ones. It's also good to intimidate the other party at that time!"

  The two shop assistants echoed in unison, "Yes."

  "Miss, why don't you leave through the back alley to avoid being seen by others..." said Li Si Guan with a hint of hesitation.

  Going out from the back alley? Isn't that too petty?

  "It's all because of you, talking nonsense and making our lady have to walk behind."

  "It's all good intentions on the part of Fourth Official!" These are minor matters, just remind Li Fourth Official later, no need to criticize him now and make him lose face, "Let's take a shortcut through the back alley..."

  Mr. Li's face turned red: "It's all my fault for speaking without thinking!"

  "Be more careful in the future!"

  "Hmm!" Li Si Guan somewhat embarrassingly responded.

  Ying Fen served Shen Mu Qing, who was wearing a cloak, and they both exited from the back alley of a tea house.

  Just as Shen Muqing walked to the entrance of the alley, she was stunned on the spot.

  Across from the tea house, on the steps of Jiang's rice shop, stood a man in his early twenties.

  He wore a coarse linen robe of ash grey, with a cloth belt of the same colour, tall and majestic in stature, with skin as smooth as honey, handsome and heroic in appearance, with a pair of bright eyes that seemed to fly around, standing on the crowded steps, even from a distance, Shen Mu Qing could feel the aura of murder emanating from him, people passing by the rice shop door would automatically retreat three steps back and walk around him.

  It seemed like he sensed something, and his bright eyes suddenly fell on the alley entrance.

  The eyes of the two people met in mid-air.

  "What's wrong?" Shen Mu Qing murmured.

  The person opposite her expression remained unchanged, smiled faintly at her, stood with his hands behind his back - and did not come over.

  Like running into an acquaintance on the street.

  For some reason, Shen Mu Qing's heart felt a lump, and his eyes welled up with tears.

  Every time she sees him, she changes a little... Although encountering ups and downs can transform her into a dragon, the cost of this growth is a subtle pain in her heart.

  Shen Muqing smiled and knelt down to pay her respects, then got into the carriage with Ying Fen's support.

  The horse carriage rumbled forward, and she couldn't help but lift the curtain to look back. The person was already gone, leaving only a street full of unfamiliar faces.

  Returning to the White Paper Lane residence, Lin Jincai's family welcomed them warmly.

  "Auntie, it's been a long time since you've come, why don't you stay and have dinner here today!"

  "All right!" Shen Muqing smiled and replied, "I'll be staying here for the next few days, remember to get someone to clean up the main house."

  Lin Jinfai's face was all smiles: "I have someone sweep every day, and the cushions and chair covers are washed once every seven days as you instructed - I just changed them yesterday."

  A group of people walked into the house laughing.

  Shen Mu Qing sent Lin Jin Cai's family to cook, and he and Ying Fen went to the warehouse, selecting a black fox skin, an otter skin, and a gray squirrel skin. After some thought, they also picked out several pieces of pearl wool.

  "Is Grandma going to make a gown too?" Yingfen couldn't help but stroke the smooth sable fur, praising, "This is really beautiful!"

  Shen Mu Qing smiled and said, "I have many clothes." Then she pointed to the three pieces of wool fabric that were picked out first and said, "You wrap these three pieces of wool fabric in a bundle and give them to Chen Niangniang. The rest, you sisters can each make a fur coat for yourselves."

  "Give it to us?" Ying Fen asked in surprise.

  Shen Mu Qing said: "You usually wear old clothes from your mother or me, but this wool is new. There are twelve pieces, Lu Mei, Zhu Ji, you and Ming Xia, and a few younger maidservants, exactly ten pieces. The other two pieces, one will be sent to Wang Mama and the other to Li Mama."

  Ying Feng responded loudly with a "yes", and Liu Chun and Bu Yue, who were following behind her, also had joyful expressions in their eyes.
