The child in Ying Baolin's womb was saved after all, the emperor sent someone to send a lot of Ejiao and Gongjube to the palace of the four princesses, the sixth princess Mu Chenglan and her mother Shen Yu's wife are the only ones who do not have a palace, and a group of ordinary palace maids live on the long street, very shabby, the plateau is seen, and Mu Yuanan is truthfully returned, the mother and daughter are also considered a blessing in disguise, and they moved to Furuixuan nearby, and lived with the third princess Mu Chengxin, Mu Chengxin was naturally unhappy, but the emperor's intention could not be disobeyed, Mu Chenglan thought in her heart that it would be excellent if she could move to live with Mu Chenghuang or the eldest princess, but she just thought about it, and didn't dare to say more。 Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The national teacher Guo Tianli became a great hero to keep the emperor's heir, and then the emperor asked why Guo Tianli would enter the palace in time, Guo Tianli showed an unfathomable look, saying that he watched the stars at night last night, and expected that there would be a catastrophe in the palace, so he came in advance, thinking that now Ying Baolin's body is temporarily inseparable from Guo Tianli's care, Guo Tianli is also temporarily living in the palace Taiji Palace, before the construction of the Heavenly Master Dojo in Longhu Mountain, the Taiji Hall was originally the place where the national teacher lived, and now, it is also considered a proper Zhou Shan.
The only thing that is not good is that this is the Xi Concubine who threw a pillow at Ying Baolin, Xi Concubine is afraid that she also knows how much fault she has made, it is said that General Yuan Zishan Yuan also let his wife enter the palace to persuade twice, although Ying Baolin and the prince are fine, but Xi Fei still went to the hairpin noodles and knelt in front of the Yangxin Palace for a long time, at first kneeling Mu Yuanan was ignored, but the sun was basking and kneeling for two days in a row, and he just picked the hour at noon to kneel, Concubine Xi was also pregnant with the imperial heir in her belly, and she couldn't fold this for Ying Baolin's one, and Mu Yuanan and Concubine Xi were also old husbands and wivesand gave a lot of things, and the honor did not decrease but increased.
Mu Chenghuang just secretly stumbled when he heard it, and he took retreat as advance.
Time in the palace is difficult to pass, but Mu Chenghuang has something to do every day, the flowers in the palace are waiting for her to take care of, the small kitchen now has ingredients, she thinks of a few new patterns of pastries and dishes, after making it, first send it to the eldest princess, the eldest princess has been with the Empress Dowager Pei for the longest time, naturally knows what flavor the queen mother likes, after tasting it, if you think you can, then put forward some opinions, Mu Chenghuang improved the recipe, until the queen mother must like to eat, and then wait for the time to ask for peace, personally sent to the queen mother, from the shrimp roll vegetarian cake to the lotus leaf wild vegetable cake, a month, sent five or six times, but there is no taste similar or the same, Although Empress Dowager Pei knew that Mu Chenghuang was trying to please herself, she might put so much effort into making herself happy, which was rare, but the time in the palace was still long, and she had to see Mu Chenghuang's performance after that.
On this day, the scorching sun is in the sky, this year's climate is a little abnormal, this is only to the end of April, it is so hot that I can't wait to go to the Inner Government Bureau to get the ice, but the storage of this ice cube is really exquisite, it is in the cold winter wax moon, let the servants chisel out a piece of regular ice from the freshwater lakes all over the suburbs of Beijing, hide it in the cellar dug deep in the ground, and when it is very hot in the second year, open the cellar mouth with a hook, once it is opened, the ice here must be received at one time, the palace has its own palace cellar, and it is necessary to wait for the emperor to make an order to open, the people are more generous, and the owner of the ice cellar will open the cellar when he receives enough orders to finish the ice, the person who ordered the ice cube before would send an ox cart and a horse-drawn cart to pull it.
This year, the weather is hot early, and the orders for the folk cellar are already full, but the palace cellar can't wait for the emperor's order to open the cellar, so there is a situation where the folk have ice, but there is no ice available in the palace.
Mu Chenghuang is preparing to wash his hair in the evening, and his waist-length hair is hanging down smoothly after taking the hairpin, like a black waterfall, the Vermilion Bird is boiling hot water on the stove, and the parrot brings the water bucket by bucket, Mu Chenghuang just lowered his head, and there are Wen Zhi pouring water one by one to wet his hair first, Baojuan wiped Mu Chenghuang's hair with Zhu Ling mixed with fragrant dew, at this moment, Mu Chenghuang still felt that being a princess really had the benefits of being a princess, at least there were four people waiting to wash his hair, and he couldn't help humming a little song.
Washed his hair, dried it and dried it, his half-wet hair was inserted by Mu Chenghuang with a thick wooden hairpin, looking idle but a little romantic, the water beads flowed down his neck and soaked into the thin veil on his back, which was a lot cooler, Mu Chenghuang asked people to put a rocking chair in the yard, half lying on the rocking chair, and Wenzhi Baojuan knocked up melon seeds together, parrots and Vermilion Bird guarded the door, if someone came, they would report themselves.
"Princess, the hospital where you asked the slave maid to inquire, the slave maid inquired. Although Wen Zhi kept pinching the melon seeds in her hand, none of them entered her mouth, she carefully pressed them with her fingertips, broke the skin of the melon seeds, took out the melon seeds, and put them one by one into Mu Chenghuang's small plate containing the melon seeds.
Say. ”
Wen Zhi continued: "The owner of the Zhou medical hall is named Zhou Yang, it is said that he came to the capital from the south of the Yangtze River to make a living, and his medical skills are very good. ”
"Imperial Doctor Song is a doctor himself, so naturally he doesn't go to see a doctor. Mu Chenghuang stuffed sweet potato seeds one by one, as if the faster she stuffed them, the faster she could think, "This Zhou Yang, isn't there anything strange about it?" Or, but have you still been in contact with other people?"
Wen Zhi shook his head at first, and then suddenly thought of something: "By the way, when the sisters outside the palace and the slave maid talked about this, they seemed to have mentioned it unintentionally, and when she went, she chatted with Dr. Zhou without a match, but she felt that Dr. Zhou was a little familiar with the capital, unlike Dr. Jiangnan who had just come to the capital." ”
"That's right. Mu Chenghuang thought carefully in his heart, and asked casually: "By the way, Miss Shen should be coming soon, you will take the Vermilion Bird and the parrot to dig out the Yao Huang plant in the back hall for Haosheng, don't hurt the roots, and prepare to give it to Miss Shen as a gift for relocation." ”
It is naturally not simple for Mu Chenghuang to grit his teeth and bleed hemorrhage, and send out Yao Huang, the Shen family has been doing jewelry business for generations, at first it was just starting from a craftsman, burning blue dots and emeralds, inlaid beads and carvings, it is obviously the same process, the jewelry produced by Shen Jiarui Fuxiang is more delicate than others, and it is good-looking, and then the capital grows, and it begins to expand the façade, and the purchase of incoming materials is too large, so he directly bought the mine, this business is getting bigger and bigger, although it is not a rich country, but it is also the richest businessman in Jiangnan.
And this Shen family's eldest daughter Shen Ke is even more amazing, although she is a woman, it is said that when she was a child, she caught an abacus when she caught Zhou, and began to calculate for her father at the age of five, and began to learn to do accounts at the age of eight, and she would start to check the accounts at the age of twelve, when the old lady of the Shen family and the old man Shen thought that the girl of the Shen family who had opened the hang had reached the limit of a woman, Shen Ke realized that she bought a mine at the age of fourteen, opened a branch in Lingnan, and dealt with the Cao Gang and the Horse Gang, so that the Shen family's business was completely expanded to Lingnan where the Cao Gang and the Horse Gang gathered。
It's no wonder that Shen Ke is only sixteen now, and the old lady of the Shen family and the old man of the Shen family have handed over the most popular and dangerous, most profitable, and most life-and-death shops in Beijing to Shen Ke to take care of.
For this good girlfriend, Mu Chenghuang has both admiration and a nymphomaniac heart, she once asked Shen Ke in the letter how he won the business in Lingnan, after all, talking about business with underworld people is not just talking, Shen Ke wrote a sentence in the reply letter concisely, Your Royal Highness Princess, do you palace people negotiate by reasoning?
Does it work?
In fact, occasionally Mu Chenghuang will also sympathize with Lin Guanlan, who has a marriage contract with Shen Ke, to marry such an all-powerful and fierce woman, Lin Guanlan has to spend many years to improve himself before he can barely see Shen Ke's back, when he thinks that Shen Ke is going to enter Beijing, sisterhood is one of them, and besides, he is in the palace, only relying on the connections that Wenzhi has saved before to inquire about things outside the palace is really a drop in the bucket, just like this Zhou's medical hall, it will take a month, if Shen Ke comes, it will be different.
At the same time, there is a carriage with purple curtains parked on the official road in the suburbs of Beijing, in the hot weather, the carriage curtain is tightly closed, looking at it will feel like it will be stuffy sweat, the coachman, the front of the road and the back of the family with a few large suitcases of luggage have already sat under the shade of the tree to enjoy the shade, but the people in the car are motionless, for a long time, there is no sound, the maid peony is waiting next to the side to fan the wind with her sleeves, suddenly heard her own lady sneezing loudly inside, busy asking: " Is the big girl okay?"
"I'm fine. "The female voice from inside is soft and very nice.
Peony pouted and said: "I've been waiting for all these times, presumably the people of the Lin family will not come to pick us up, big girl, why don't we go into the city by ourselves, waiting in vain, but the wish of the prodigal son of the Lin family has been fulfilled." ”
"No," the female voice inside was weak but full of strength, "Wait on, Lin Guanlan doesn't dare not come, you go to the tea house next to you to buy a few jars of tea, remember to ask for the best, and distribute it to those family care homes." ”
