30. Who's, bronze mask

Xiao Yuchen's current identity is Han Shen after the Marquis of Long E, who abandoned his official position and engaged in business.

Han Li, the first generation of Long'ehou, was a hero of the founding of the Great Qi Dynasty two hundred years ago, and had an excellent relationship with the emperor. Because of being favored, there are constant controversies, and since the third generation, the Marquis of Long has withdrawn from officialdom and concentrated on business and opening academies, leaving only the honorary title of Marquis.

It is now the ninth generation. Gradually, there was no contact with the palace, but he only retained the title of Hou Ye.

The ninth prince is really very rare, which shows the nobility of the Han family, but unfortunately, several generations have been passed down alone, and incense is scarce.

It is rumored that the current Marquis of Long's forehead, Han Shen, has a disease in his eyes and is inconvenient to go out, so he is covered with a black hat and cloak all the year round, only half of his face is exposed, his whereabouts are mysterious, and there are very few people who have seen his true face.

Yes, except for Mo Feibai and a few people who are extremely close, no one knows that Xiao Yuchen and Han Shen are the same person.

Xiao Yuchen's sedan chair finally stopped in front of the restaurant "Qiongyu Building". Immediately, there were high-class servants dressed in rich clothes in the restaurant, who stepped forward to greet them.

"Han Hou, please, my young master has been waiting inside for a long time......"

Qiongyulou is the best and most expensive restaurant in Chang'an City, and it is a place where the children of official families and rich families are lustful and drunk. Xiao Yuchen doesn't come to this kind of place often.

Today, it was Gao Junfeng, the eldest grandson of Gaofu, who had a banquet for him, and he had shirked it twice before, and it was not easy to shirk it again this time.

Gao Junfeng is the eldest son of the chief of the Guogong Mansion and the son of a famous celebrity and rich man in Chang'an City. It is rumored that he is both talented and good-looking, and he is also very good at doing business, what business and what business he earns, and he is a relatively famous person, and he is a relatively famous person, plus there is a big tree in the Guogong Mansion as the background, and he can barely be as famous as the Marquis of Long'e, as well as the mysterious incense master of Long'e Academy.

As soon as he saw Xiao Yuchen, Gao Junfeng greeted him with a smile.

"Master Han, you can count it, Gao wants to see you, it's really difficult to climb to the sky."

He was wearing a wide-shouldered shirt of silk and satin, very imposing, and although his face was good, his eyes and demeanor always revealed a cunning sharpness and shrewdness.

Xiao Yuchen faintly: "Gao Gongzi has been waiting for a long time." ”

Xiao Yuchen was wearing a hooded black cloak with dark patterns of gold silk, half-covering his face. Gao Junfeng knew that Han Shen, the Marquis of Long'e, had this habit, so he didn't care, but his attitude was very attentive.

As soon as Xiao Yuchen sat down, Gao Junfeng asked Xiao Er to serve the food, all the delicacies of the mountains and seas, and he ate exquisitely.

"Master Hou, I heard that you are very good at business, I wonder if you are interested in cooperating with Gao?"

"What business?"

Gao Junfeng smiled and raised his eyebrows, unfathomable: "Spices!" I have already taken two-thirds of the spice shops in Chang'an City as my own. I plan to crush other spice shops at a low price, and then completely monopolize the spice shops, and then the whole of Chang'an will have to buy spices in my hands, and then I can sell them for as much price as I want! Earn without losing money! ”

Gao Junfeng poured a glass of wine, held it over to Xiao Yuchen with both hands, enthusiastic and attentive, and could not hide the smug look between his eyebrows.

"How to cooperate."

Xiao Yuchen ignored the wine handed over by Gao Junfeng, and instead picked up a glass of water.

Awkwardly retracting his hand, Gao Junfeng's eyes flashed with a hint of dissatisfaction and anger, and then the smile on his face did not change. "Gao has always respected Master Hou, of course such a good deal can't be done alone. Hou Ye and Gao each contributed half of the silver to make these shops, as for the manpower, I will come out, Hou Ye only needs to ask the incense makers in Long'e Academy to come out to help, and the rest only need to wait for the silver. ”

"It sounds like someone has made money on this business."

"Exactly, Master Hou, this deal is a good deal." Gao Junfeng said, sneering in his heart - the Marquis of Long'e is rich and rivals the country, and he has dabbled in all fields of salt, tea and silk, and the most important thing is that Long'e Academy is still this sick ghost industry! How not to make people blush? That's why you don't take him Gao Junfeng in your eyes so much......

Hum.

He has used all kinds of means to defeat other small rich merchants, and the biggest fat in Chang'an City right now is Han Shen, the Marquis of Long'e. When the time comes, he will first poach the incense maker and other teachers in the academy to create chaos, and then empty his funds...... At that time, he will be Gao Junfeng, and he will be the richest man in Daqi!

"But I'm not interested."

Xiao Yuchen said lightly and put down the water glass.

"You...... Master Hou, are you really not interested at all? Gao Junfeng seemed to see his dream of great wealth shattered by these fluttering words, and he almost choked and vomited blood. A "no interest", blocking him with no room to turn around. 'Damn Han Shen! ’

Hmph, but don't be afraid, he still has a back move.

"It's okay, Master Hou is rich and rivals the country, and it's nothing if he's not interested in making money." Gao Junfeng clapped his hands, and three Luo Shang beauties came in, one in a white dress, one in a red dress, and one in a green skirt, pure beauty, sexy, lively, three different postures. Either one is a big beauty, not an ordinary vulgar fan can compare.

Gao Junfeng has made a bloody investment.

"I heard that Hou Ye is still alone, Gao was a little cautious, and sent a few beauties to play the piano and sing songs to relieve Hou Ye's boredom." Gao Junfeng said. He didn't believe it, and there were men who didn't like to smell nephrite.

Xiao Yuchen glanced at the three beauties. "Thank you Brother Gao for your kindness, but Han ......"

Before Xiao Yuchen finished speaking, a woman's anxious voice came from the door-

"Cousin!"

The person who came was a pretty girl in pink clothes, with an ingots combed on her head and a string of beads, and when she saw Xiao Yuchen, she immediately walked over with shyness and timidity, and then blamed Gao Junfeng: "Cousin, the Hou Ye doesn't like vulgar fans, don't embarrass others like this......"

The person who came was the daughter of the son of the second room of the Guogong Mansion, Gao Yue, who had liked Han Shen, the Marquis of Long's E, for a long time, and approached Han Shen many times without success.

"Ouch, yes, yes, my cousin's fault, Master Hou is not to blame." Gao Junfeng hurriedly asked a few daughters to go down, "My daughter is too old to stay, this person hasn't married yet, and his mind has already flown to another family......"

Gao Junfeng's mixed people, there are no elders here, and they talk a lot, and they deliberately match Gao Yue and Xiao Yuchen. If there is a younger sister who marries her, it is much better than putting a few eyeliners in Hanfu.

"Cousin, you, don't talk nonsense......" Gao Yue blushed, and glanced at Xiao Yuchen's face in an instant with her eyes lowered, but the brim of her hat was half covered, and she couldn't see it clearly.

Although she only saw half of Han Shen's face, her lips and chin were enough to make her heart flutter. If she can marry him, even if she dies, she is willing!

"Master Hou, it's rude, don't be surprised......"

Gao Junfeng: "Actually, Gao invited Master Hou to come today, in addition to talking about the spice business, there is another thing that is about my sister this month." ”

"Sister Yue is the baby in the palm of my second uncle, our family has always wanted to arrange a good future for her, so I want Sister Yue'er to go to Hou Ye's academy to study and learn, and I hope that Hou Ye can help, what do you want, just open your mouth."

Gao Junfeng's implication is to go through the back door.

Gao Junfeng wanted to stuff Gao Yue to Xiao Yuchen's side, and he fell in love for a long time. As long as the woman is strong enough, are you afraid that she won't be able to break through a dragon forehead?

Gao Yue twisted shyly and happily, and turned a few corners in her coquettish voice: "Cousin......"

The brother and sister sang and harmonized, and Xiao Yuchen was a little impatient when he listened.

"The other sister is smart and clever, and she must be able to pass the entrance exam. Han has other things to do today, so he will leave first. ”

As he spoke, ignoring Gao Junfeng's unprepared mouth, Xiao Yuchen got up and left.

Gao Yue was reluctant to give up, and shouted in a coquettish voice: "Master Hou! ”

"What's the matter with Miss Gao?"

"I ...... I want to ask Master Hou to help me choose a spice to use at the New Year banquet of the Academy, please help Master Hou help Yue'er......" Gao Yue said softly, blinking her eyes pitifully. "If you don't help Yue'er, Yue'er...... Yue'er ......"

The rest of the words turned into tears in my eyes.

Glancing at Gao Junfeng, who was already unable to save face, Xiao Yuchen replied "Okay" in a low voice. The Gao family's power is not small, and it is not appropriate to lose face too much. It is better to mess with a gentleman than a villain. Although Xiao Yuchen doesn't like these twists and turns, he said that if he really wants to do it, I'm afraid no one can calculate him. He can see it clearly, but he doesn't like it and doesn't bother to do it.

"Thank you Master Hou, Master Hou go slowly, next time I will come to you to pick it up!" Gao Yue couldn't help but be overjoyed, looking at Xiao Yuchen's back, fascinated.

Gao Junfeng was stunned by Xiao Yuchen's cold face, and was puzzled, "A sick ghost is blind, and he dares to show his son's face, hmph, when the time comes, I will bring the Long'e Academy over, and see what he is proud of!" ”

"Cousin, the character of the Marquis of Long is so high, he is like this to everyone, he must not have deliberately given you a face. Besides, I see that he walks steadily, his demeanor is vigorous, he is neither sick nor blind, and the rumors are all false......"

Gao Junfeng: "Cousin, are you starting to maintain your quasi-prime minister?" ”

"Cousin, don't talk nonsense, people...... How can people have any quasi-justice......"

Gao Junfeng laughed: "Cousin, your cousin is convinced of your beauty and ability, take advantage of ......"

Back then, Gao Yue's mother used the means, first drunk the second master of the Gao family, cooked raw rice and cooked rice, and then became the wife, and the charm has not diminished for more than ten years, which is because Gao Junfeng has this saying. Gao Yue has a true biography of her mother, she looks pretty and cute, but she actually understands men's sets very well.

……

Out of Qiongyulou, on the sedan chair, Xiao Yuchen walked back. Then I walked past the spice shop and walked straight to the other end. In the afternoon, the sun is strong, and the hawkers are quiet.

The sedan chair was a little stuffy, so Xiao Yuchen lifted the curtains and was refracted by a ray of light.

Xiao Yuchen got out of the sedan chair and picked up the inconspicuous bronze mask in the corner.

The peddler was drowsy and immediately came to his senses. "You're here to get this mask, aren't you? Now, and this tulle mask. ”

"How much silver." Xiao Yuchen stroked the spotlessly polished bronze mask.

"It's still a good price, one or two silver."

Xiao Yuchen asked the accompanying servant to give the silver and get on the sedan chair.

The peddler caught up: "Childe stays, Childe stays, this is the handkerchief left for the girl in the morning, you can bring it to her." ”

For ten days and a half no one paid attention to the bronze mask, so the peddler thought that the morning man and the afternoon man were together, so he gave the handkerchief.

Xiao Yuchen frowned and looked at the handkerchief. There is a jewel embroidered on it, and it is stained with a lot of ash.

The little guy outside the sedan chair: "Which girl is so unparticular and her handkerchief is so dirty." Master Hou, don't take it, you get your hands dirty......"

……

Mo Mingzhu finally discussed the deployment of the perfume shop with Qin Changfan, and when he returned home to get the silver, when he went to the mask stall, he found that the mask had been bought, and he couldn't help but be disappointed.

Vendor: "Girl, I'm really sorry, I thought that boy was called by you to get the mask, after all, no one cared about this mask for ten days and a half, I'm really sorry." If you really like it, you might be able to catch up with the son, who has just left......"

Mo Mingzhu glanced in the direction pointed by the vendor.

On a hot day, it's hard to run.

"Forget it, you don't have to......"

It's just a mask, and it's not a rare thing.

*

When she returned to the house, Mo Mingzhu saw that Mo Xuelan had returned happily, and she was in a good mood watering and picking flowers in the courtyard. It seems that she and Xiao Jingling have a good appointment today.

Back in the Purple Garden, Mo Mingzhu rested for a while, drank some honeysuckle anther tea that conditioned the body, changed into loose clothes for good activities, and trogged in the garden, practiced yoga, and stretched his body.

The health care effect of exercise on the body is far greater than people think! It can not only accelerate the metabolism of the stomach and intestines, but also allow the harmful substances in the residual sweat glands to be discharged, so that the skin is clean and clear.

To be white and beautiful, the most basic thing is to maintain a healthy body. The inside is good, and the outside can be shiny and clear.

It was not the first time that Ziyuan's minions had seen Mo Mingzhu doing sports, and they gradually became accustomed to it.

Mo Mingzhu was stretching his waist when he heard someone coming from the gate of the garden.

"Sister Pearl, Sister Pearl......"

It's Mo Xingchu.

"Wake up, why did you come back?" Mo Mingzhu wondered, "Could it be that the people from the pre-school hall are bullying you again?!" ”

Is Gao moving again!

Mo Xingchu ran out of breath. "No, not this time. Now the people in the academy are very polite to me, and no one dares to bully me. ”

Mo Xingchu smiled, innocent without any impurities. Mo Mingzhu looked at Mo Xingchu, only to feel that the scum in his eyes that had been rubbed into by Mo Xuelan and the others had been washed away by this smile.

Eye candy.

Mo Xingchu said and took out an invitation, handed it to Mo Mingzhu, and was overjoyed, "Sister Mingzhu, this is the invitation for the Qingqing Party that the Tangguan asked me to pass on to you, saying that you should go to the Qingqing Party together." ”

"Outing?" Mo Mingzhu thought about it, it seemed that she heard Mo Xuelan say in the morning that she and Xiao Jingling were going to discuss some matters related to the Youth Club. "Haven't I already been dropped out of school, why did the cousin send me this invitation?"

Mo Xingchu's face was red, and he took care of Mo Mingzhu's face in a sneering manner, and it was difficult to speak. "Last time, Sister Mingzhu was in the academy, and she ...... in the academy" couldn't find the right words for a while, "'shine' in the academy!" The cousin felt that the eldest sister should also participate in this outing, so I made a special trip to send an invitation. ”

As soon as she heard the "great brilliance", Mo Mingzhu almost laughed out loud, saying that she was too fierce last time, which scared the hall official, so she smiled and patted Mo Xingchu's shoulder, "I'm afraid I'm going to make others unhappy, so I still don't go." ”

Mo Xuelan and the others are all there, and she doesn't want to mix them.

Mo Xingchu was looking forward to traveling with Mo Mingzhu, but he was disappointed when he heard the words.

"Eldest sister, are you really not going? Aren't you very interested in the incense making room of Long'e Academy, this time there are not only students from the preparatory school, but also students from Long'e Academy, I heard that one of them is the incense maker of the incense hall of Long'e Academy, which is amazing! ”

Seeing that Mo Mingzhu hesitated slightly, Mo Xingchu intensified, "Moreover, maybe the Long'e Marquis, who is named Chang'an, will also go." This outing will be said to be a outing, which may mean that before the entrance examination, the words and deeds of outstanding students will be examined. Eldest sister, it's a pity if you don't go......"

She was very interested in the incense hall of Long'e Academy, but ...... As soon as Mo Mingzhu thought of going with Mo Xuelan and Mo Xiaoman, she felt that this trip would not be very pleasant. "Forget it, you should go and make some friends, the eldest sister doesn't want to go."

Mo Xingchu was depressed. He didn't want to climb the dragon and the phoenix, he just wanted to go out with Mo Mingzhu to play. The last time he saw Mo Mingzhu "tired and dizzy", he was uncomfortable and wanted to go out with her to have fun and relax......

Mo Xingchu walked out of the Purple Garden all the way in a lost way. I really want to grow up immediately, so that I can protect and take care of Mo Mingzhu.

Mo Xingchu wandered around the garden, but he accidentally found that there was a kennel under the big tree, and the female dog gave birth to a few puppies, so he went over to take a look, but he didn't want the kennel to be made of two clothes. I guess the was about to give birth, and she took it out of the hut next to it where the garbage was piled up.

"Alas, it's a waste of such good clothes to be used as a kennel."

Mo Xingchu saw that the texture of the two black clothes was excellent, and he felt a pity.

Gao's money for Mo Xingchu was not much, and Mo Xingchu had always been diligent and thrifty, so he went back and took the unwanted cotton jacket and replaced it with black clothes.

Wash it and put it away.
