Chapter 9 Suggestions from Flowing Bamboo

When Aoki reached the front door, a young man in the carriage parked on one side of the door saw that the master had come out, so he pulled the reins and drove the carriage over. At this time, Grandma Liu came up and said, "Wait a minute, my master will come over immediately!"

Aoki didn't want to do much, and said: I'm fine, go back. Don't tell your uncle. After Aoki finished speaking, he boarded the car and got on the horse. The little guy immediately lifted the curtain of the car and led the master into the car. After Aoki finished his seat, he was about to order someone to drive, when he heard a voice coming: "Nephew, please wait! It turned out that Master Ren had arrived. When Aoki saw that Master Ren was coming, he couldn't leave and got out of the car.

When Master Ren saw Aoki get out of the car, he approached with a smile on his face and said, "Nephew, don't be in a hurry to go first." I've heard about what just happened, that girl is not sensible, don't be surprised by the nephew. Look at your clothes, it's better to change them quickly. I have a few rooms here, and if my nephew doesn't dislike it, I'll stay for one night.

Master Ren said so, and Aoki really couldn't say anything, so he had to agree. Grandma Liu hurriedly sent someone to lead Aoki to bathe and change clothes, and then arrange a small house's residence, and the carriage was parked. In a few moments, Grandma Liu arranged all the food, clothing, housing and transportation. Aoki's changed clothes were just bought by the servant, and they were resting on the stool next to the bathtub. The girls and mothers didn't dare to slack off, the kitchen hurriedly boiled hot water, and the strong girl's mother carried the water and poured it into the bath bucket, and when it was full, they all retreated. Aoki, who was in the side room, didn't wait long before a girl came to talk and asked him to take a bath.

This happened to Ren Zhai, and the uncles and brothers couldn't stay anymore when they saw it, so they rushed to say goodbye and leave a message to visit again in the future.

Grandma Liu arranged a lot of things, but the young lady's meal had not yet arrived, so she hurriedly ordered the cook to make another meal and send it over. In the end, Qingqing still didn't eat, so Mrs. Qing ate the meal.

Master Ren had to be free, returned to the back hall, picked up the letter that Aoki handed him, opened it, and read it carefully. In addition to congratulations, there is another thing in the letter, that is, his brother intends to marry the two families. Master Ren was willing to marry the two families, but when he saw Aoki today, he felt that this child was very good, and when he thought that Aoki had become Qingqing's husband and his son-in-law, he felt that there was no better family affair than this. Master Ren folded the letter and put it back in the envelope and put it away carefully. Then, he ordered to go down to prepare dinner, and Master Ren planned to use the meal time to make Qingqing meet with Aoki.

Back in the palace, the prime minister was led all the way into the study room dedicated to reading and discussing state affairs. At this moment, all the folds on the desk have been reviewed, and Mo Xing is leaning back against the back of the chair, closing his eyes to recuperate. The little guy brought the prime minister in, and was about to reply, when he saw Mo Xing's eyes closed, thinking that if he fell asleep, he replied without knowing what to do, I was afraid that this little life would be lost. So the little guy cowered and paced to the table, and he didn't dare to pant loudly, let alone say a word. When the Prime Minister saw this, he was amused. simply shouted loudly: Your Majesty, the minister has been summoned!

The little servant looked at the Prime Minister in disbelief. After a while, Mo Xing opened his eyes, his expression was serious, and the corners of his mouth were pursed into a line, looking at the prime minister who was kneeling at the table. He said, "Your Excellency, get up."

Immediately, the Prime Minister stood up on the ground. Then, neither of them spoke, and the little guy standing on the side was frightened, lowered his head, and didn't dare to look over there. Mo Xing spoke first: Prime Minister, is there something going on today?

When the prime minister heard this, he answered truthfully: The daughter of the minister's brother held a coming-of-age banquet today.

Mo Xingdao: Let me wait for so long, it turns out that the prime minister has something important to do, and it seems that it is not easy to invite.

What is the emperor talking about! Family affairs are no better than state affairs.

Mo Xing raised his hand and said, "You go down." Of course, the little guy who heard this knew that he was talking about him, so he bowed down and hurriedly withdrew.

Now there are only two of them in the palace. The prime minister sat down casually, looked at the emperor with a smile on his face, and Mo Xing ignored it. The Prime Minister opened his mouth and said, "Your Majesty, do you have anything to do with me?"

Mo Xing opened his mouth to speak, but this was not the answer. The prime minister's name is Yang Liuzhu, because the two have a good relationship, when no one is around, Mo Xing will call him by his name.

Liuzhu smiled: What the emperor said is that the minister is really rude and disturbed your dreams, and I ask the emperor to forgive you.

Even though he said that, he didn't mean to plead guiltily at all, and still sat down in his chair with a smile. At this point, Mo Xing got down to business: I have read the folds handed in today. You mentioned that you want to continue to expand the border, and I would like to hear why.

Liuzhu immediately turned his face and said: In recent years, although China has expanded a lot of land on the border because of the displaced people, most of the people in China have now been lifted out of poverty and have no food. But the development is too slow, and it is still inferior to Xifeng at this moment. If the land continues to expand, the wasteland becomes farmland, and there is more grain, in addition to domestic use, the surplus can be purchased for export trade, so as to promote domestic development and attract talented people to seek opportunities in our country. Wouldn't that kill three birds with one stone!

Mo Xing said: You have a point. As the prime minister, you are responsible for doing the next thing.

Liuzhu bowed down and said: Minister!

Mo Xing said: Since you are here, don't be in a hurry to leave, stay and play chess with me for a while.

Liuzhu got up, and when he heard the emperor say this, he laughed and quipped: What is the emperor talking about, just now he ordered the minister to do things well, if the minister delays state affairs because of playing chess, how can it be good? !

Mo Xing replied: Prime Minister, your words are inevitably a little more.

In response, the little servant ordered someone to set up a chessboard, made fragrant tea, and when the emperor and the prime minister sat down, they retreated to the back. After a long time, the two of them were tireless, and it was time for dinner. The little servant stepped forward and asked: Your Majesty, the imperial dining room is here and asks you what you want for dinner?

Mo Xing didn't raise his head, nor did he speak, still thinking about the chess move. Seeing this, the little guy stepped aside and said no more. Soon, the servant in the imperial dining room was ordered to go outside the palace again and asked again. This time, the little guy in the hall didn't want to answer the call back and forth, so he glanced at the little guy outside the hall and sent him away. The emperor is lonely, he is never picky about food, but he doesn't eat much, and the little guy who knows these things will definitely not ask for a second time for this.

Moxing has been here for nearly 20 years. The first people all remember what he looked like when he came, and now there are people at that time among the officials in the court, and after twenty years, most of them have shown the situation of the next life, dying of old age, but the ink line is still a green hair, like a fairy, but it has not changed at all. The common people have seen him, and even said that the emperor was an immortal who came down to purify all sentient beings.

The little guy outside the hall was very young, thinking that he was a newcomer, and at this time he was ordered to ask, but he didn't say a word, but he was glared back by the little guy who served by the emperor's side, and he really didn't have the courage to go again, he was burning and uneasy, and he was aggrieved and sat on a step outside the hall.

In the palace, the last game of chess was won by the prime minister. After watching the hour, the palace gate was about to close, and Liuyue hurriedly said goodbye and left. Mo Xing said to the little guy: "Pass on dinner." The little guy got his life, and with a "no", he bowed down and retreated. The little servant walked outside the hall and wanted to chase after the messenger, but as soon as he left the temple gate, he saw the little servant hiding on the steps and crying. I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to find him, so when I saw him, I pulled him up and hurriedly asked him what he was crying about. It turned out that this young boy was already timid and afraid of things, and when he saw the tall and burly imperial chef with a meaty face, he was cowardly in his heart; today he was ordered to come and return in vain, for fear that the imperial chef would annoy him, so he did not dare to go back, and secretly cried here. The little servant serving in the inner temple thought that he was also pitiful, so he would take care of him more in the future. The little maid got the word to go back, and after a while, the dinner was ready, and a group of palace maids immediately took the meals and sent them to the emperor's palace in turn.
