"Xi 'er, you're here." The person playing the zither raised his head and said,"This is the 'Butterfly in Love with Flowers' that I just composed. Isn't it good?"”
If you stood in front of her, you would feel that the wind had stopped, the birds had stopped singing, and everything in the world was silent, except for the voice that was like the sound of nature. Following the voice, you couldn't help but look at the person who spoke. It was an otherworldly fairy.
Ying's smiling willow-like eyebrows curved slightly. Below her was a pair of watery eyes. At a glance, it was as if the ripples on the water surface caused by the wind were tugging at your heartstrings. The eyes turn to the gurgling water that flows into your heart. That fair and rosy face was like a ripe peach, seductive yet not easily profane. That was because those beautiful eyes of the person in the painting hid a smile, but revealed a fierce and compelling heroic spirit. This was Yun Caixia three years later.
"It sounds good. Miss, the Flying Sparrow Team's training is over. They will be back tomorrow.”Xi 'er was wearing a black and white outfit with a red scarf as a collar. One end of the scarf was embroidered with a flying swallow.
"Looks like you're not bad as the captain of the Flying Swallow Team. You already know before the swallow has even flown back? Not bad!" Yun Caixia got up and patted Xi 'er's shoulder.
"Miss, look at what you're saying. It's all your credit. If it weren't for the pigeons sending the letter, how could I have known their whereabouts?”
"Is that so? How are the other three teams?"
"The Blue Fox team needs one more day, and the Purple Sakura and Golden Phoenix teams need two more days. Miss, perhaps we can add some sisters to our ranks this time.”
"It's the quality of the soldiers, not the quantity. Besides, you don't really want so many sisters to have no way to live and have to join the Feng army to make ends meet, right?”
"Of course not. In that case, Miss, I'll go back first."
"Go. When they come back, let me know.”Yun Caixia waved her hand.
"Yes, sir! Miss."
After the New Year three years ago, Yun Caixia started to set up an embroidery and furniture shop. Currently, his hometown Yunxiu Manor and Jiali 'an furniture store were both top-notch businesses in the capital. Of course, Yun Caixia could not do it herself. The embroidery shop was handled by Madam Han Xiuxiang, and the furniture shop was handled by Han Peilin. The reason why she was in such a hurry to start the business was because she had considered that if she wanted to build a Phoenix Army, she had to solve the financial problem first. Not to mention anything else, once they recruited soldiers and horses, they would need money for clothing, food, accommodation, and transportation. Besides, it was just the beginning, and she didn't want to make a big deal out of it. As for the first batch of people, she planned to first organize the maids of the General's Estate and the young girls of the embroidery workshop to train them first. If it was effective, he would recruit a group of girls to be embroiderers and maids. After some time, he could swap the two groups of people. This way, he could hide it from the public and solve the problem of not being able to find a large enough place to build a training base.
When Yun Fei returned to the capital, the embroidery workshop and furniture store had already begun to take shape, and the first batch of team members had already been put into training. Originally, Yun Caixia was worried about how to persuade those girls to participate in the training. However, when everyone heard that Miss could let them learn martial arts, they raised their hands in agreement and said in unison,"We won't be afraid of being bullied anymore! Especially those men."
After Yun Fei came back, he did his best to help Yun Caixia train well. At an appropriate time, the Emperor finally took the jade pendant and a letter left by Yun Zaitian and found Yunfei. He learned that there was indeed a butterfly-shaped birthmark on Yunfei's waist. After the Empress confirmed it, she determined that Yunfei was really the lost prince Long Feiyu.
After the Emperor brought Long Feiyu to the ancestral temple to acknowledge his ancestors, he wanted to make him the Crown Prince. However, he was worried that Long Feiyu would not perform well and would be obstructed by the civil and military officials. In the following two years, Long Feiyu had been learning martial arts and medicine from his ancestors. In the 18th year of Emperor Xuanwu, the Emperor would send Long Feiyu to the Southern Pass where Yun Zaitian was stationed, hoping that Long Feiyu could find an opportunity to make some military achievements. At that time, the Imperial Court would naturally have nothing to say.
Red Clouds Villa.
Today was the first day of August. It was also the day when the person in charge of the embroidery and furniture stores met with Yun Caixia, the behind-the-scenes boss, for a meeting. Yun Caixia knew that a tall tree would attract the wind, so she would never directly interfere with the business of various places, nor would she bring everyone back to the General's Estate for discussion.
"Miss, the embroidery workshop's business this month has been very good, earning three thousand taels of silver, five hundred taels more than last month. Even so, there were still 780 taels of orders that had yet to be completed, not counting the orders that he had received now.”Xiuxiang respectfully handed the account book she had prepared to Yun Caixia.
"Very good, Auntie Xiu. As for the three thousand taels of silver, just give me one thousand taels of silver. You can use the rest. Oh, has everyone's salary been calculated?”Yun Caixia sat in the main seat of the meeting hall with a bowl of rose tea in her hand. She had already asked someone to build another house in the Red Clouds Villa, which was divided into a bedroom and a small living room for the meeting hall.
"Replying to Miss, it's all done. After these embroidery girls came back from the young miss 'training, they worked even harder. The things they embroidered also faintly emitted spiritual energy. They looked very lifelike, as if they were in the real world.”Xiuxiang was full of praise for those embroidery girls. Of course, what she didn't know was that when Yun Caixia trained those people, she didn't just teach them martial arts. She also taught them reading, music, and mathematics. She wanted someone who could be independent, who could think for himself, and who could cultivate both civil and military skills. She wanted them to have their own aesthetic standards, their own thoughts, and their own souls. She didn't want them to be weak women who were manipulated by others. She also planned to train a few outstanding talents to go out of the capital to conquer the world and open a branch of the "Hometown Cloud" embroidery shop.
"Is that so? Don't worry, we can swap them with another group of people in a month. Aunt Xiu would be more annoyed then.”
"Of course, of course. I just can't figure out how Miss trained them. Why did they all change so much?”
"Regarding this problem, I think Qiao Fang is an example. Aunt Xiu, you should rest first.”Yun Caixia looked at Han Peilin, who was sitting beside Xiuxiang.
"Miss! This is the account book. Our profit this month is only 2,800 taels of silver, and the remaining orders are only 320 taels.”Han Peilin stood up and handed over the account book that he had prepared beforehand.
"Not bad, just like the embroidery workshop. Pay me a thousand taels too.”Yun Caixia spoke unhurriedly.
"Miss, Qiao Fang, Chun Lan, and Xiao Hui are all here.”Xi 'er walked into the meeting hall in a red floral dress and came to Yun Caixia.
"Yes, I know. You guys can go back first." Yun Caixia waved at Xiuxiang and Han Peilin.
"Alright then, Miss, we'll go back first.”
Chun Lan was the captain of the Golden Phoenix Team, Xiaohui was the captain of the Blue Fox Team, and Qiao Fang was the captain of the Purple Sakura Team. Moreover, they were all grown up now.
