The musty air, the dormitories that were so dim that they almost needed to be lit all year round, the ventilated walls, and the roofs where it rained heavily outside and drizzled lightly inside were even worse than the living conditions of the low-class people in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

The contents of the room were so old that none of them were intact, the only bed was leaning against the moldy wall, and the tattered cotton wool on the bed was wrapped in a man who did not know whether he was alive or dead, and he did not know if he had long since turned into a pile of dry bones.

Shu Wanxuan frowned, and put her finger against the tip of her nose, the smell in this room was really unpleasant, if it weren't for the report that this person was still alive, she would have asked someone to tear down this house and save her bad luck.

"Where's your Aunt Meng?" The grandmother beside Shu Wanxuan asked.

This courtyard is the most inconspicuous place in the house, and there are a lot of girls and grandmothers who followed Meng Ruoyao before, but in recent years, Meng Ruoyao has not been favored and has no use value, and gradually the people in the courtyard of the seventh prince don't take her seriously. Those who have the ability to run away took the errands on the side, but because Shu Wanxuan didn't speak, there will be no one in this yard to fill the shortage, and over time, there will only be an old mother-in-law who is fast into the coffin and a girl who is not very sober in this yard.

"Lying inside......" the old woman couldn't breathe when she said this.

Shu Wanxuan looked inside in disgust and waved her hand impatiently.

The grandmother next to her hurriedly led people into the house, first opened the tattered quilt, and then dragged the half-dead person out.

Meng Ruoyan was at most in the house for a period of time, Wei Qigongzi saw that he wanted to win over the face of the Meng family's second room for two days, who knew that this girl was not spoiled, not only showed off her power in the house, but also repeatedly wanted to challenge Shu Wanxuan's bottom line, after a few times, the seventh prince lost interest in it, plus the prime minister's major event has been completed, Shu Wanxuan is a means, Meng Ruoyan's life is naturally worse day by day.

Last year, I was sick in the winter because of the lack of charcoal, and I didn't get up until today, and the people who served around me were almost gone, an old mother-in-law and a stupid girl couldn't take care of themselves, let alone her, and now Meng Ruoyang has not starved to death in bed It is already her creation, she also thought about sending a letter to the second room of the Meng family, who knew that the letter was lost in the sea and there was no response.

She resented it, wanted to run away, and gave up on herself, but in the end, she couldn't make noise anymore, and she was about to rot in this deserted courtyard.

"It seems that he is really sick." Shu Wanxuan took a few steps back, almost unable to recognize Meng Ruoyi's original bright appearance.

"Seventh Grandma, look?" The grandmother beside her hesitated.

Shu Wanxuan wanted to taunt Meng Ruoyi for a few words, but she was not interested at this time, so she said: "Let someone wash her and send her to the Hexu Garden next to her, and then find a doctor to come and take a look, be sure to sober people up, and the medicine of the tiger and wolf can also be given when necessary." ”

The sturdy mothers-in-law who were supporting Meng Ruoyao thought that Shu Wanxuan was going to re-attach importance to this aunt, but they didn't expect Shu Wanxuan to care about whether Meng Ruoyao would be alive in the future, they glanced at each other, and their hands were a little heavier.

When Shu Wanxuan saw that the matter was done, she didn't stop, and walked towards her house with the girl's mother-in-law.

"I remember that Aunt Meng still has a dowry with her?"

The grandmother beside her thought about it, and then vaguely recalled: "Some of them were released by grace, and some of them were not clean under their hands, so they were sold." ”

"None of them in the house?" Shu Wanxuan asked.

Mama hurriedly said: "It seems that there is a third-class little girl, who has served with Aunt Meng before, and is also from the Meng family, but this girl is clever, and she is a person in the big kitchen, and she has been married to the eldest son of Chef Wang in the past two years, and now she is a little housekeeper in the inner courtyard." ”

"It's a clean one." Shu Wanxuan said with a smile: "Go and call someone to me, I want to ask her in person." ”

As the Yan army advanced towards Kyoto, the nearby cities, large and small, either surrendered or died in battle, and the people who wanted to live a stable life again almost immediately accepted the Yan army's appeasement, and even the enthusiastic people who helped the Yan army search for the remnants of the prime minister in the city, not to mention the squires and wealthy merchants who sent food and money, and they were eager to put their net worth on Li Jianshen, the prince of Bao.

The so-called wall fell down and everyone pushed it, the king of Guangjun saw that it was not good, and the prime minister couldn't resist for long, Hu Ren was frightened by firearms recently, and he was defeated and retreated, Li Jianshen regained Kyoto and ascended to the throne It is already a certainty, at this time everyone is not stuttering, and when Li Jianshen becomes the emperor, I am afraid that even the palace will not be able to enter.

Of course, Li Jianshen is not something that everyone can see casually, so most of these businessmen with money and food in their hands are to see these henchmen around Li Jianshen, especially Mo Li, who has the most opportunities to appear, because he has been in the household department for a period of time, and he is a good hand at managing state property, not to mention the military supplies in recent years, plus he has a flexible mind and is well-informed, these businessmen want to fool him purely to find death, Li Jianshen does not have to worry about what these profiteers who want to add icing on the cake will bargain from Mo Li.

So after several battles between the open and the covert, the businessmen could only get some benefits within the scope that Li Jianshen had assigned to them, and the rest had to consider whether they had the life to bear it.

Among them, there are not many smart businessmen, but there are also a lot, they found out Li Jianshen's temper from Mo Li, and obeyed Mo Li's dispatch peacefully, but at the same time, they also admired Mo Li's methods very much, they didn't dare to bribe Li Jianshen directly, so they had to send things and even women to Mo Li's mansion under the banner of friendship.

"It's the first wave, and these people won't give up!" Pomegranate said dissatisfiedly in front of Acacia.

Acacia leaned on the soft couch and embroidered the purse, and said indifferently: "These people and things are not necessarily for the husband, people want to knock on the door from the husband and directly honor the prince." ”

"Then you can't send them all to us, these are the first batches, and the old king who drives at the door will be annoyed." Pomegranate pouted and folded her clothes.

Mo Liang has always been a master who refuses to back down, when he sent the first batch a while ago, he only left the silver money antiques, and the rest of the way sent people back, who sent it back to whose house, the face of the troubled households is not very good-looking, for this reason Li Jianshen also said two sentences to him, who knows that waiting for the next batch of people to send women over, he directly sent people to the prince's mansion, to make Li Jianshen disgraced, and then he didn't care about him.

"County Lord, you said, these people know that they are going to be slapped in the face, why don't they have a long memory?" Pomegranate asked, puzzled.

Acacia chuckled: "Everyone thinks that they will always be special, no matter how others hit the wall, they will also think, maybe the women sent by these people before are not beautiful enough or not in line with my husband's appetite, these big men have three wives and four concubines in their own family and think that others are the same as them, guarding a woman to live, it is unimaginable for them." ”

"What is unimaginable, even the prince said that he would not accept concubines, these people still want to be promoted and make a fortune without even knowing the pulse? The beauty of thinking. Pomegranate sneered disdainfully, took her clothes, and went back to tidying up.

Mo Liang outside the door has been standing quietly, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, his heart is comfortable and there are some little entanglements, of course he hopes that Acacia will always trust him unconditionally, but there is no jealousy at all, and it always makes him a little bit disappointed.

Ersie has long been accustomed to the master who likes to listen to the strange problems in the corner of the lady's wall, as if the two of them don't get along enough on weekdays, and they want to hear what it looks like for the lady to talk to others in one place, which is really sour.

"Master, there's a letter from Kyoto." Ersie stepped forward and said.

Mo Liang took the letter and said without opening it: "For Madame?" ”

"It was sent from the Meng family." Ersie said again.

"I'm afraid Kyoto is so strict that not a single fly can fly out, how did this letter come from?" Mo Liang sneered.

"Is that letter ......?" thought Elsie might be a conspiracy.

"No, it's hers, as long as there is no danger, there's no need to stop it, Madame has the right to dispose of her things, and none of us have the right to make decisions for her." Mo Li took the letter and walked into the house. "Whatever she wants, I'll just clean it up for her."

Ersie shrunk his neck, such an indifferent tone, maybe the county lord Ming'er wanted to rebel, and his own master could wave the flag and shout and charge. Wife and slave or something, it's really terrifying.

"What are you doing here? The adults all went in. ”

As soon as Ersie looked up and saw that the pomegranate was withdrawing, his eyes lit up, and he said flatteringly: "Sister Pomegranate has come out, how can I get in?" ”

The pomegranate glanced at him, and he walked out of the yard coolly, and Erxi's eyes rolled, and he followed him out.

"What is this?" Acacia took the letter and didn't rush to open it.

"A letter from the second room of the Meng family." Mo Li took warm water from the table, and started to feed Acacia some moisturizing lips, this serving posture and proficiency, than the big eunuch next to Lafayette, it can be seen that there is no less service on weekdays.

Acacia is also accustomed to the pampering of Mo Li, she embroidered an afternoon and did forget to drink water, she put down the needle and thread to open the letter, while taking the letter paper and said: "Could it be that Kyoto has become a sieve?" Is it so easy for us to receive the letter here? Where do we live, and how do they know? ”

"They found someone to deliver it to Yanzhou, they don't know where we live, but it will be clear when you ask, the messenger is a businessman, and there is nothing suspicious about it." Mo Liang said.

Acacia opened the letter paper, only looked at the beginning, and his face turned cold, this letter ...... It was written by Kwan himself.
