Chapter 131 Victory in the first battle
Yu Qingli glared at him, and when she came to her senses, the man had already left quietly, with only a strand of hair missing from her temples. Since ancient times, only people who loved each other would keep their hair to express their love. What was the point of this man forcibly taking her hair?
It’s just self-deception!
Murong Yanhui stood outside Yu Qingli's window, looking at her lonely face, and couldn't help but sigh. The hair in her hands was soft and touched her heart, but she didn't know when the beauty would be as smooth as this hair.
He carefully rolled the hair into a small circle and put it into the purse he carried with him, then carefully placed it on his chest, as if placing the woman in his heart. Thinking of the separation in the near future, he was really reluctant, but it was difficult to disobey the emperor's order, not to mention that His Majesty had already issued a decree. If he did not show up, he was afraid that it would cause that woman to feel uneasy again.
It seems that it is time to leave Luoyang City for a while. For his own carefree life, he must go to the capital to appease the suspicious heart when necessary!
June weather, baby face, changes in an instant!
After a sudden rainstorm, the scorching sun immediately came, making it so hot that even breathing felt unbearable.
Yu Qingli sat in the pavilion in the garden, holding a tattered medical book in her hand, studying it carefully, her brows sometimes furrowed and sometimes relaxed, looking very absorbed in the reading.
Mei Hong was sweating profusely, holding the sour plum soup she had just made in her hand, and walked lightly towards the pavilion. She saw Yu Qingli's serious face from a distance, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart, this young lady is really amazing, it's such a hot day, but she doesn't feel anything at all, and can still sit down and read so seriously.
"Miss, drink some sour plum soup to cool down. It's too hot today!"
Yu Qingli put down the medical book in her hand, glanced at Mei Hong who kept wiping her sweat, and said calmly: "Let's drink together. It's really hot today."
"Yeah, seeing that the dog days of summer are about to begin, it's only natural that the next rain will bring a burst of heat!"
Yu Qingli nodded slightly. After drinking a bowl of sour plum soup, she felt refreshed. Suddenly, as if remembering something, she stood up and put the medical book in Mei Hong's hand. "Mei Hong, please put this medical book away for me. I'm going out for a while."
"Miss, are you going out in this hot weather?"
"It's times like this that we should go to the shop." Yu Qingli said, and after a moment's thought, she said, "If you feel too hot, why don't you stay in the mansion for a while? I'll be back before dinner."
Mei Hong curled her lips and thought, forget it, no matter how hot the weather was, she couldn't stay in the mansion, otherwise if the master asked about it, she would be punished again.
"Miss, I'd better go with you. At least I can take care of you, right?"
"Follow if you want!"
Yu Qingli packed up a little, got on the carriage and headed straight for Nishangfang. Perhaps because Murong Yanhui had not come to bother her again in the past few days, she was in a very good mood.
The sun was shining brightly and there were not many pedestrians on the street. Occasionally, a few teahouses were full of people. When Yu Qingli came to Nishangfang, she was surprised to see quite a few customers sitting inside, and everyone could even get a cup of herbal tea.
Yu Qingli couldn't help but admire Mr. Yu's marketing methods. This man was really smart. After his guidance, the business of Nishangfang more than doubled.
A few days ago, she heard that Master Yu had come up with a new trick, so that customers who came to the store to choose fabrics would have a place to rest and could also have free cold tea. In this way, even in this hot summer, there would be no need to worry about a lack of customers.
When Yu Qingli walked into the shop, she saw the fat shopkeeper introducing fabrics to a customer with a smile on his face. When he saw Yu Qingli coming, the shopkeeper did not abandon the customer but waited until the customer left with satisfaction before coming forward.
"Ms. Dong."
"Boss, how are the sales of this batch of new materials?"
As Yu Qingli spoke, she reached out to touch the batch of new materials that had just been delivered from the dyeing workshop. The patterns on them were very novel and the colors were very bright. In addition, the fabrics purchased this time were of high quality and very cool, and were very popular among some wealthy ladies in this hot summer.
Three days ago, Master Yu came to the Yu Mansion because of the dyeing workshop.
Yu Qingli did not seem surprised by Master Yu's arrival. Before Master Yu explained his purpose, she took out several drawings she had prepared in advance and handed them to him.
"This is……"
Young Master Yu held the drawings with unique patterns, his eyes full of surprise.
"Brother Xiao, aren't you here for the fabrics from this dyeing workshop? It's summer now, and the flowers are in full bloom. Even ordinary girls would want to buy some beautiful dresses, not to mention that we recently bought a batch of fine fabrics. I think if we dyed them with unique patterns, they would definitely attract the attention of the rich daughters and wives."
"Qingli, you are really amazing. Even though you never leave the house, you know everything about the store. Even I have to admire you."
"After all, it's my own shop, I have to pay more attention to it!" Yu Qingli smiled faintly. In fact, it was thanks to Murong Yanhui's quietness in the past few days that she had the energy to take care of the shop.
Those so-called patterns she designed were actually borrowed from her memories of her previous life. She remembered these patterns very clearly. Although she didn't know where they became popular at the time, fabrics with these patterns quickly became popular after they appeared. Soon after, even the imperial palace began to pursue these fabrics.
Since she doesn't know the source, why not borrow it?
"Young lady from the Dong family, you may not know this, but this batch of fabrics is selling incredibly well. Some customers even come here specifically to buy them. Mr. Li from the East City and Mr. Chen from the West City not only ordered custom fabrics, but they also really like the clothes designed by you and are vying for custom orders!"
The shopkeeper's slightly surprised voice brought Yu Qingli back to her senses.
"That's good. Since business is good, let the dyeing factory make more."
"But Miss, if other cloth shops also have these fabrics, our cloth shop's business will be..."
"Don't worry, I have other plans for this."
With Yu Qingli's assurance, the shopkeeper couldn't help but smile with joy. Since the young lady from the Dong family had said so, what else did he have to worry about? It looked like the year-end dividend was inevitable.
After checking out Nishangfang, Yu Qingli thought it would be a good idea to stop by the Yu family dyeing workshop. In the dyeing workshop, the workers were working overtime and were working hard.
Yu Qingli left the dyeing workshop very satisfied and returned home with Mei Hong.
"Miss, have you heard? That annoying Prince Yan is finally returning to the capital!"
As the carriage was bumping along, Mei Hong's voice suddenly came from a distance, which surprised Yu Qingli. How did she know such a thing?
Seeing Yu Qingli's surprised face, Mei Hong continued, "Young lady, you haven't known about this at home these past few days, but the news has spread all over the streets and alleys. Young lady previously exchanged those gifts for silver and distributed them to the people after the disaster in the name of King Yan. Everyone is discussing this matter!"
Yu Qingli was puzzled, "What does this have to do with Prince Yan's return to the capital?"
"I'm not entirely sure, but I heard people talking on the street. It seems the Emperor is suspicious of Prince Yan's intentions of winning over the people and forming a clique for personal gain, so he's summoned him back so early. I heard he issued three imperial edicts in quick succession just the day before yesterday!"
Yu Qingli had mixed feelings in her heart. She didn't expect that her momentary action would bring so much trouble to Murong Yanhui. She couldn't help feeling a little guilty. However, when she thought about it carefully, the cause of this incident was also because of Murong Yanhui's inexplicable behavior. If he hadn't sent so many gifts, she would not have thought of such a solution.
But it’s better that he left, so that he doesn’t have to bother me every day and be annoying.
But why did she feel a little lost in her heart? Although it was only for a moment, it made her inexplicably sad.
Mei Hong in the carriage was still chattering, "Miss, this is good now. Now that that annoying prince is gone, no one will bother you anymore."
Yu Qingli frowned slightly and replied calmly, "Yeah."
I reached out to lift the car curtain and looked at the people on the street who were looking listless under the scorching sun. I felt inexplicably irritated. This summer is really boring!
Mei Hong was puzzled in the car. Why did the young lady suddenly look so unfriendly? Could it be related to the news she had told her?
Probably not? !
After walking in silence all the way back to the Yu Mansion, Yu Qingli went straight back to her room and took out the medical book, hoping to calm her down. However, after seeing the medical book that Murong Yanhui had specially found, she became even more upset.
He closed the medical book with both hands, walked to the window, looked at the roses swaying outside the window, and the smiling face inexplicably appeared in his mind.
He shook his head vigorously, trying to get rid of the man's face, but it seemed to have no effect.
She sighed inwardly, wondering if the entanglement during these days had made her fall in love with Murong Yanhui?
This thought flashed through her mind, but was quickly dismissed by Yu Qingli. How could it be possible?! From the moment she was reborn, she had already lost her heart.
Sitting back at the table, Yu Qingli forced herself to pick up the medical book. Her experiences in her previous life made her feel more and more the importance of medical skills. Besides, she still needed to investigate the inexplicable cause of her mother's death. She didn't have so much time to get entangled with an inexplicable prince.
The current emperor's birthday banquet will be held soon, and she still has a lot of things to prepare.
Yu Qingli closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, her eyes were clear. She couldn't be shaken by these little things. Such a deep hatred had not been avenged yet, so how could she be disturbed by other things?
What Yu Qingli didn't know was that just when she was a little annoyed about Murong Yanhui's affairs, Murong Yanhui in the villa was also extremely depressed.
Because Yu Qingli gave all the birthday gifts to the poor people after the disaster in her own name, the man in the capital became unreasonably worried and suspicious, and issued three imperial edicts in one day, asking him to return to the capital as soon as possible.
