Chapter 291: Conscientiousness
But that's it, there is still no news of the brocade box, and the bounty has increased from 10,000 taels to 20,000 taels. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The Muyang Marquis Mansion was looking for the brocade box with such fanfare, which inevitably alarmed the hundred officials, and in the early dynasty, the emperor also heard about it and asked Mu Zhen in public.
Although Mu Zhen annoyed Mu Jinghua, but in the end she is still his daughter, the ugliness of the family should not be publicized, Mu Jinghua ate Minglan's vinegar and was jealous of her, it was he who taught his daughter that he had no way, so he had to tell a little lie, saying that the people in the house were not good, and he threw the brocade box out of the Hou Mansion by mistake, and when he rushed to find it, the brocade box was gone.
Except for the maid who threw the brocade box, which was instructed by Mu Jinghua, everything else was true, but no one believed it.
A small brocade box needs to be posted, and a reward of 20,000 taels is offered to find it, how bold do the maids in the house have to be to dare to throw it out of the Hou Mansion at will?
This is clearly not telling the truth.
Mu Zhen was very helpless, what he said was the truth.
Some ministers were curious about what was in the brocade box, and Mu Zhen didn't lie, saying that it was a relic left by Mrs. Mu to Minglan, but unfortunately, not many people believed it.
How many years has Mrs. Mu been dead, what relics should have been handed over to Minglan a long time ago, do you need to wait until she grows up and is about to get married?
And those who believe it think that the brocade box is to add makeup to Minglan, but ask yourself, the great-granddaughter will definitely not give as much as 20,000 taels when she gets married.
Mu Zhen didn't want to explain, and no one believed what he said, so he simply kept silent, and no one talked about it.
However, there are many people in the streets and alleys who want to earn the bounty of 20,000 taels, because there are no less than 100 people to send the brocade box every day, and the brocade box was seen all day before, but the Hou Mansion was busy preparing for Mu Jinghua's marriage, and there was not so much time, so he added a sentence to the notice, and the brocade box was sent in the afternoon, and the Hou Mansion refused to pay attention to it in the morning.
Mu Li coughed, and Minglan said, "I'll go and see." ”
Mu Li sighed, and Minglan turned around and left.
In front of the Hou Mansion, there was a queue, and there were more than 50 people at a cursory glance, all holding brocade boxes in their hands.
The steward stood there, almost one, and waved his hand after a glance.
For so many days, the appearance of that brocade box has long been imprinted in his mind, and he has dreamed of it several times.
When Minglan stepped out of the Hou Mansion, the brocade box held by a middle-aged man made her eyes move.
The brocade box in the man's hand was exactly the same as the one on the painting.
The steward was excited when he saw it, and the man smiled and said, "Is this the brocade box that the Hou Mansion is looking for?"
Minglan walked over quickly, and the person in charge said, "Cousin, do you think so?"
Whether it is, she is not sure.
But this brocade box looks very similar, but the notice was posted because the gems inlaid on the brocade box were picked off, and the brocade box was intact.
Although he had doubts, Minglan still couldn't suppress the ecstasy in his heart, maybe his cousin was wrong?
She walked over quickly, took the brocade box from the man's hand, and then the smile on her face slowly dissipated, and said, "No. ”
The man frowned and said, "Really, isn't it? This brocade box looks exactly like the painting." ”
Minglan shook his head, "The brocade box looks very similar, but the difference in weight is too big, and this brocade box is too light." ”
Too light?
Doesn't it mean that there are only a few letters in the brocade box, even if it is lighter, it will not be too light, right?
Minglan thanked him for finding a similar brocade box and sending it to Bofu, and the man smiled, "No need to thank you, I'm here for the bounty." ”
This is the truth, but compared to the bounty, the brocade box is too important for Minglan.
The man returned disappointed.
Minglan looked at all the brocade boxes, and none of them were what she wanted, so she was ready to go back to Bofu.
Sydney helped her into the carriage, and a small guy rode over there, this scene was so similar, wasn't it at this time last time, the eldest lady came to her in the name of the old lady to ask the old lady to protect Song Yuan's fetus?
At this time, I sent a small servant again, I don't know what moths are coming out of Bofu.
Minglan's face was slightly cold, and he was overwhelmed.
The little maid turned over and dismounted, "Second girl, King Mu's Mansion sent a steward to inquire about Sydney's rash, and the old lady asked you to return quickly." ”
This time, Minglan's eyes were cold, why did Sydney have a rash, the lord of Danyang County of King Mu's mansion should know better than anyone else, and at this time he sent a steward to ask Sydney about the rash, it seems that the poison of the rash of the county lord of Danyang cannot be cured.
Mu Wangfu can guess with his toes that it is Wang Shizi who poisoned the county lord of Danyang, but he is a tooth for a tooth and an eye for an eye, Mu Wangfu does not dare to question the prince of Liwang, otherwise he will shake out the reason for the poisoning of Wang Shizi, and it will be Mu Wangfu who will be punished.
But he can't afford to be provoked from Wang Shizi, Minglan is a little uncle's daughter, and Mu Wangfu is still sure that he can start from her.
Is this bullying the weak and fearing the hard?
Minglan laughed and got into the carriage, and Sydney snorted and got in.
Knowing that the old lady was in a hurry for Minglan to return home, the coachman drove the carriage very quickly, but Minglan was unwilling to go back so quickly, Sydney opened the curtain and instructed the coachman, "The girl is a little dizzy, the carriage should be slowed down." ”
Usually I go back to Bofu in half an hour, but this slowness took an extra quarter of an hour.
As soon as the carriage stopped, a maid came forward and said, "It's considered to be back, and the people in King Mu's Mansion are in a hurry." ”
Minglan didn't speak, got out of the carriage, and then went to Chomatsu Temple.
The steward of King Mu's Mansion was the steward who read out the rules of the competition before, and when he saw Minglan coming in, he got up and saluted.
The eldest lady asked the little girl, "Why did you come back so late?"
The little girl glanced at Minglan and said, "The second girl was a little dizzy, so she let the coachman slow down." ”
It's not that he delayed the time, it's the second girl who is grinding, and he can't be blamed.
Minglan's eyes swept over the eldest lady's face, and said slowly, "I asked the coachman to go slowly, Sydney had a rash on her face, but the matter of sesame mung beans is big, and the person in charge came to inquire in person, Mu Wangfu is so conscientious, it is really admirable, presumably the matter between the eldest brother and the third girl Song has been investigated." ”
Ming Lan looked curious, and the face of the steward of King Mu's mansion was a little embarrassed.
How can the matter between Young Master Gu and Miss Song San be investigated, and he didn't just come because of a little girl......
The housekeeper knew that Minglan was not easy to mess with, if it was an ordinary girl, it would be impossible for her to let the prince fall in love, and even be punished for him to guard the imperial mausoleum, for fear that she would be calculated, and took the emperor's punishment as a deaf ear and left the imperial mausoleum without authorization.
The steward didn't dare to take it lightly, but said, "The matter between the eldest young master and the third girl Song is still being investigated, and I will definitely give a satisfactory explanation to the Bofu and the Song family. ”
Minglan looked at Sydney and said with some surprise, "Why didn't I know you had a rash?"
