Chapter 162: Harem (11)
Hearing this, Zhuang Minhua didn't have the heart to listen anymore, she silently put down the wine glass in her hand and put the chopsticks down casually. Chao Hanqing arched his hand and said: "Thank you Brother Han for your hospitality, there are still some miscellaneous things on the younger brother, I'm afraid I have to leave." He stood up.
She still went to the emperor's people first, got the auction matter up first, and then went back to the palace as soon as possible to discuss countermeasures with Taijing. If Empress Dowager Zhang really used public opinion to make Zhang Mo a quiet concubine, she would cry.
Han Qing stood up, although the two had not known each other for a long time, but for some reason, he always felt that he was very close to this little brother Yang. Han Qing reluctantly said, "I don't know where Brother Xian lives now?" Foolish brother is good to visit. “
Zhuang Minhua said with a smile: "The younger brother came to the capital to join his relatives, and he temporarily lived in the inn, and when the younger brother found his relatives and had a place to stay, he would give the eldest brother a post." Zhuang Minhua was serious on his face, and he had already laughed in his belly, and now he made up his life, and he also came with it.
Han Qing suddenly agreed, and hurriedly said: "Brother Fool is the second son of the Marquis of Qingning, if Brother Yang Xian wants to visit, just report my name directly." I will also explain directly to the concierge here, if the virtuous brother visits, just go in directly. ”
Suddenly, he looked at Zhuang Minhua's appearance, and said as if he thought of something: "Brother Xian, Brother Fool wants to ask, what is the relationship between you and Zhuang Shoufu Zhuang?" I heard that the third lady of the third room of the dealer is surnamed Yang, is it either you or the nephew of the third lady? "Otherwise, how can you explain that Brother Yang Huaxian looks so similar to the eighteenth sister.
Zhuang Minhua's eyes rolled, should she say that Han Qing is a nerd? Just put on a little makeup. Loosen her voice a little thicker, and he won't recognize her. But since he didn't recognize her, it was no wonder that she was. She made an expression of how do you know, "Exactly, could it be that Brother Han and the dealer are also familiar?" My younger brother is planning to visit my aunt and uncle! She couldn't help laughing desperately, why was Brother Han so funny!
Han Qing's face was full of surprise, "After a few days when the virtuous brother settled down, the foolish brother came to visit the virtuous brother." ”
Zhuang Minhua pursed his lips and smiled, nodded indiscriminately, and left. If you stay any longer, you won't be able to help but laugh.
Walk down the street. Emerald Green and Biqing looked at the trembling shoulders of the master in front of them, and immediately looked at each other. Bi Qing whispered to Emerald Green full of worry: "Is it really good for the master to be like this?" If this let the emperor know that the master had just mixed up with a group of men and called Han Gongzi a brother, it would be bad. When we go back, we remember to keep our mouths shut. Don't let the emperor know. ”
Emerald looked at her innocently. "The secret guard next to the master was sent by the emperor."
Bi Qing was stunned for a moment. If the dark guard knows, doesn't it mean that the emperor knows? Suddenly, Biqing's face fell, what can I do?
A smile flashed at the corner of her green mouth. followed Zhuang Minhua casually. The master didn't do anything out of the ordinary, he was afraid of anything, he just sat down together and had a meal.
Zhuang Minhua didn't notice the small movements of the two maids behind her, and went to the place Meng Jinghan said first, which was the teahouse where Yu Wanyan drugged her a few months ago. I haven't come to see it for so long, but I didn't expect it to be doing well. This teahouse has an elegant style and takes a high-end route, which ordinary people generally can't enter. It is a suitable place to set up an auction, and there are also ready-made sales objects.
Under the guidance of the shopkeeper, Zhuang Minhua took a look at the layout of the teahouse, and then decided to set up an auction table on the spacious first floor. She handed over the design drawings of the entire auction to the shopkeeper and instructed the shopkeeper to decorate it as soon as possible.
Then he asked the shopkeeper to secretly let the wind out, saying that the owner of Yayun Teahouse had a few treasures to sell. What is this treasure like? On weekdays, everyone asks the painter to paint a portrait, not only does the painting be slow, but also depends on the level of the painter to have a bit of a portrait of himself, but the treasure of the owner can be imaged instantly, and it resembles himself. It was framed, preserved, and passed on to future generations. This is just one of the treasures, and there is also a magical box that can play music without playing......
When the news is almost spread, I send the post of the auction that day to those who have the financial resources to come and invite them to come and participate in the auction.
After talking to the shopkeeper of the teahouse like this, the shopkeeper's eyes lit up and he nodded again and again, but he still had questions, "Master, that treasure is really something, and when I heard it, I always felt that it was too unbelievable, and I couldn't believe it, for fear that other people would also think the same way." ”
Zhuang Minhua pondered for a moment and clapped his hands, "The day after tomorrow, I will hold a flower-viewing party and invite the families of the ministers." When the time comes, you will come and offer the treasures, and show them in front of the families of these ministers, and you are afraid that they will not believe it? ”
The shopkeeper hurriedly patted his ass, "It's still the housewife's thoughtfulness." ”
After discussing some details, Zhuang Minhua felt that it had been arranged, so he went back to the palace.

The Imperial Study
After Meng Jinghan discussed the matter with the ministers, he sent the people away, and began to review the recitals. After approving a few copies, I felt a little uneasy, and I was worried about the safety of Zhuang Minhua outside the palace. So he sent someone to the palace gate to ask a few times, but he didn't see Zhuang Minhua come back, he was afraid that someone would be suspicious if he asked too much, so he had to press down his anxious mood and let people stay at the palace gate, as long as Zhuang Minhua came back, he would report it to him. In his heart, he secretly complained that the two maids who followed Zhuang Minhua were dull, and he didn't know how to persuade him, so that Minmin hadn't come back at this time.
Seeing that the sky was getting dark, in order to let Meng Jinghan see the words clearly, the lights in the imperial study were already in place. Meng Jinghan also couldn't sit still, he put down the red pen in his hand and walked out of the imperial study. Looking up at the dim sky outside, he frowned, is this going to rain? Why hasn't Min Min come back yet?
Meng Jinghan planned to go to the Yanbing Tower near the palace gate to sit down, and wait for Minmin by the way.
As soon as Meng Jinghan came out of the imperial study, Cirui Palace got the news over there, and Concubine Zhang commanded the palace maids to quickly wait for Zhang Mo to dress up.
Empress Dowager Zhang repeatedly instructed Zhang Mo, "Mo'er, you went for a walk and accidentally ran into the emperor, not deliberately, do you know?" ”
"Yes, auntie, Mo'er knows." Zhang Mo obediently let the palace maid fiddle with her head. Empress Dowager Zhang looked at Zhang Mo, who was dressed up even more beautifully, and instructed Mama Wu: "Go and bring my jade peony hairpin." ”
A hint of surprise flashed in Zhang Mo's eyes when he heard this, but he excused himself, "Auntie, Mo'er heard that the hairpin was given to you by the first emperor, and you like it the most on weekdays, but you are reluctant to wear it, how can Mo'er have it." ”
Empress Dowager Zhang's eyes flashed with a hint of understanding, and she said kindly: "You child, this hairpin is a dead thing when placed here by my aunt, but wearing it on Mo'er's head can make Mo'er more eye-catching." For our Zhang family, what is the weight of a jade hairpin! (To be continued.) )
