Chapter 90: An Invitation from the Xiaojun Palace

"How much?" The old lady asked in a deep voice.

"What the master means is to take as much as you can, if there is more, you will send it back, if it is not enough, the matter will not be done properly, and it will naturally be returned in full." Mu Jinyang responded, but this reason made the old lady couldn't help frowning.

This kind of unreliable answer is not like Mu Hongxun's answer at all, how can it look like gambling, purely depending on luck.

This undoubtedly made the old lady hesitate.

"Old lady, the old man said that this matter is very urgent, if it can be taken, the Mu family will no longer be a small family in the future, even in the capital, then you can raise your head and hold your chest high, and you don't need to look up to people." Mu Jinyang's appropriate words undoubtedly hit the weakness in the heart of the old lady.

For so many years, Lao Taijun has maintained a friendly relationship with the Yao family, and even does not hesitate to help the Yao family fill some financial holes every year, for what, it is not a matter of identity, if she can really solve this problem with silver, she does not need to deliberately please the Yao family.

Don't look at the beauty of her after arriving at the Yao family, in fact, she has a glamorous appearance that is exchanged for silver, and there are still many people who look down on the Mu family and dislike that the Mu family's portal is too low.

If it was really like the news that Mu Hongxun asked Mu Jinyang to bring back, the old lady didn't mind spending more money at all, not to mention that the silver was earned by Mu Hongxun.

After the old lady sent Shen Zhuru away, only Mu Jinyang was left, and it is unknown what the situation was, but Shen Zhuru guessed that the old lady should give Mu Jinyang silver, but it is difficult to say how much.

As for Jiang Ruoyu, she found an excuse to leave, and the old lady did not stop her.

Shen Zhuru originally thought that after Jiang Ruoyu left under the pretext, she would keep pestering her extraordinary, but she didn't expect her to leave very happily, just apologized before leaving, and left the garden with the maid Muhe she had assigned in Yao's Mansion.

Shen Zhuru, who had nowhere to go for a while, naturally returned to the room, accompanied by Yueyang, and Mu Fenghua was already waiting in the house, and when she saw that she finally came back, she immediately smiled and stepped forward.

"The lady is tired, I'll rub it for you." Mu Fenghua stepped forward and pinched Shen Zhuru's shoulder, the strength was moderate, but it was quite comfortable.

"Lady, it's rare to come to the capital, is there a place you want to go? If you don't know where to go, I've heard that there are a few famous places in the capital, and if you don't go to see them, it's a trip to the capital in vain. Why don't you go to one of them tomorrow morning and relax. ”

"Oh, what a place. You said, if you are not tired, you can consider going for a walk, I don't know if the old lady will agree. Shen Zhuru squinted comfortably and enjoyed Mu Fenghua's massage, and couldn't help but say so.

"That's right, the lady came to the capital in a hurry and didn't have a good rest, she was going to run around, she was really tired and panicked, originally I thought it would be fun over there, after all, there are many young ladies and ladies in the capital who will go there to play, and the lady can take this opportunity to make some friends. I heard my grandmother say that we should at least stay in the capital until the beginning of spring next year, and for such a long time, we can't do without a few friends. You can't stay in the garden all day and not go anywhere. Those gossips always like to spread some things that catch wind and shadows, I don't want you to be unhappy when you hear it, or decide to let you go out and walk around more, if you lack money, I have it, you can spend it as you like. ”

Mu Fenghua's proposal made Shen Zhuru a little moved, as for the reason for her heartbeat, she felt that in this world, only she could rely on herself, and only herself would not betray herself, as for others, others have no obligation to help you to the end, it is love to help, it is duty not to help, and no one is qualified to blame anything.

"You can go to the horse farm later, is there any place to relax, but not too far, consume too much physical strength, and can have a good rest?" Shen Zhuru thought for a moment and asked.

"In this capital, the most relaxing place, and also very suitable for the lady is the Yueming Lake, which is the largest lake in the capital, the literati and elegant guests in the capital, or the young ladies and ladies who want to relax like the lady, are very fond of boating on this lake, and have a quiet picture. Some of the art boats there are doing very well in business. You can rent a boat for the boat family to swim on the lake, or you can find a play to play, or even find a musician and singer to help out in the fun. Everything can be done with money. If the lady thinks it's okay, I asked Qibao to go and book the boat first, and then she can get on the boat and play for a day when she arrives at the place tomorrow. ”

"Swim in the lake? You can consider it, but maybe fishing in this lake? Shen Zhuru couldn't help asking, this was also a sudden idea.

"If the lady likes it, I will have a fishing rod and bait ready."

"Good. There must be a stove on this ship, too. ”

"Yes, it's good coal, so it's not a problem to stew something. Lunch and dinner on the boat were no problem. ”

"Well, I'll go to the lake tomorrow. You let Qibao prepare, but the old lady ...... there."

"I'll just get it done, lady, you can get ready to play." Mu Fenghua said that he just patted his chest and promised.

Mu Fenghua's promise was quickly fulfilled, and she sent a message from Mama Cui to the door, telling Shen Zhuru to take Qiao Yuelong and Mu Fenghua to the shore of Yueming Lake tomorrow to swim in the lake, pay attention to safety, you can come back later, as long as you have fun.

Although I don't know what Mu Fenghua did, he was able to make the old lady agree so easily, and even shortly after Mama Cui left, she asked someone to send two hundred taels of silver over for tomorrow's travel expenses.

This is the first time that Shen Zhuru has received a sum of money from the Mu family, even if the money is not really given to her, but for play, but at least it is the first time that real money has been sent to Shen Zhuru.

The next morning, after breakfast, the carriage was ready, and we were just waiting to go out and go straight to the shore of Yueming Lake.

Just as Shen Zhuru, Qiao Yuelong, and Mu Fenghua were about to leave, Lao Jiao hurriedly took a greeting note and sent it to Mercury Garden, and stopped them before Shen Zhuru and the three left.

"Mrs. Cousin, there is a post, it is a post sent by someone from the Xiaojun Palace, and I will hand it over to Mrs. Cousin by name. Fortunately, it was in time, otherwise it would have been difficult for the old slave. Lao Jiao ran in sweating, his breath had not eased up, he spoke directly, wiped his forehead with his hand, wiped all the sweat from his forehead, and spoke with a smile. This smile is quite flattering.

didn't give benefits to such a good attitude, it should still be because of the four words of Xiaojun Wangfu.

The people of the Yao family have always been powerful, and even the subordinates are no exception.

Before coming, Lao Jiao's enthusiasm was because of the silver, but it was because of the power, and it was really worthy of what kind of master he had as a slave, no matter what kind of slave he did, his temperament was somewhat with the master's temperament.

Shen Zhuru took the post and read it, but there were two things written on the post.

One thing is to invite her to visit the lake by the moonlight lake, and the other thing is that Su Luoquan will have a banquet for Shen Zhuru in the Wangjiang attic three days later, and the post also pointed out that she can bring people she approves to the banquet, as if she is afraid that lonely men and widows are not easy to get along with, for fear of affecting her reputation.

Su Luoquan's invitation undoubtedly made Shen Zhuru a little embarrassed.

However, she had planned to go to the shore of Yueming Lake, and after meeting people first, she would refuse the banquet in the Wangjiang Pavilion three days later, so it would be easier to speak.

There is no need to signal, Yueyang has already given Lao Jiao a small purse of two taels of silver, and his eyes are so happy that he smiles into a crescent moon.

Shen Zhuru directly asked Yueyang to let the coachman pick them up at the main gate, originally going out through the side door according to the rules, but now because the people sent by the Xiaojun Mansion are still waiting at the door, Shen Zhuru and his party can only go to the main gate once in violation of the rules, even if they go out from the small door next to the main gate, they must go up like this.

When he first arrived at the gate, Shen Zhuru saw that the person standing at the gate was like an iron tower, and the person who was as strong as a bear would be Cao Daxiong beside Su Luoquan.

Su Luoquan's solemnity made Shen Zhuru feel a little uneasy, especially when he confirmed that the gift Su Luoquan gave yesterday was the old mansion of the Shen family, this feeling became even stronger.

Although she still didn't understand what happened to Shen Zhuru and this Huaiyuanhou before, it must have happened when she was a child.

Su Luoquan, who was able to do so much for her because of the things she did as a child, if she had some scruples, Shen Zhuru could be sure that she would definitely do something, and these were the things that Shen Zhuru could not estimate the most.

She didn't want to touch it, she didn't want to step on it.

If he can deal with the problem by peaceful means, Shen Zhuru doesn't mind having a friend with a deep background as a backer.

Shen Zhuru is entangled, but no matter how entangled people come to the door to invite, naturally they can't refuse, I'm afraid that now the entire Yao family knows about this, maybe after the Yueming Lake and his party return, the gate of Mercury Garden will definitely be broken.

"Miss Shen, I think you've seen the post too, I wonder if Miss has time to go to the appointment? I've got all the carriages ready to leave, and a few more people can sit down. Cao Daxiong arched his hand and said, his attitude towards Shen Zhuru was still relatively kind, that is, as soon as the loud voice was spoken, almost everyone at the door could hear it clearly.

"It just so happens that we are going to go to the shore of Yueming Lake to relax on the lake, my carriage is ready, and it will be there soon, but I have failed you to call a carriage to come and take a walk."

"Out of the way, are there only three of you on this trip?" Cao Daxiong asked.

"There's also a maid who will accompany the coachman."

"Then let's use my car, it's big enough, it's more than enough for four people to sit. I can escort you back when you return. Cao Daxiong grinned, so I invited, which obviously regarded the carriage that Shen Zhuru and the four of them were about to ride in as a small carriage.

"Thank you for your kindness, my carriage is not small, more than enough for four people. I don't know what to call it. ”

"My name is Cao Daxiong, I am the captain of the Hou Ye's close guard, I have no other skills, I only know how to obey orders and charge into battle, if you accidentally say the wrong thing, don't blame me, I'm just a rough person, not intentionally." Cao Daxiong scratched his head embarrassedly, and his simple appearance had a fight with Mu Fenghua, the actor.

"General Cao......"

"You might as well call me Big Bear, what kind of general, it sounds weird. I'm not a general yet, I'm just a guard. You can't call it indiscriminately, something will happen. Cao Daxiong hurriedly spoke, and it wasn't really rough.

Shen Zhuru smiled, and didn't call it that immediately, just as the carriage would also arrive, and after getting into the car, he asked the coachman to follow Cao Daxiong's car to the shore of Yueming Lake.

Cao Daxiong, the captain of the close guard beside the Marquis of Huaiyuan, personally sent an invitation and invited Shen Zhuru by name, which made the entire Yao Mansion, which was originally calmed down immediately like water droplets suddenly splashed in a hot oil pot, and immediately boiled.

First of all, Yao Benshan is in the big house, Mrs. Shui, the chief of the big house, took the lead in receiving the notice to come to visit directly, and everyone who came to visit brought a small gift to the door, taking the opportunity to ask the old lady vaguely about how Shen Zhuru knew the Huaiyuan Marquis of Xiaojun Wangfu, what is the relationship, etc., anyway, everything I want to know is knocked on the side to get some useful news from the old lady's side, and I want to think about it, how to curry favor.

There was no movement before, after all, because of the matter of the princess of the grassland, after all, she came from the backward grassland, maybe she was just trying to get close to Shen Zhuru and Qiao Yuelong, as for whether she could really bring benefits to herself with this little friendship in the future, it was really hard to say, one or two were on the sidelines, so they didn't immediately come to the door.

This will be the Xiaojun Palace's worship posts are all pointed out to Shen Zhuru, although it is Miss Shen, but the entire Yao Mansion is Shen Zhuru is surnamed Shen, and has just come to the capital.

The existence of this Huaiyuan Marquis, that is a real benefit, it is strange that the Yao family does not move, and one or two of them come to the door with their own thoughts.

There were several groups of people who came and went, and the old lady was almost annoyed, but she was also a little impressed by her cheap granddaughter-in-law Shen Zhuru.

Being able to get acquainted with a marquis of the Xiaojun Wangfu in such a short period of time, and also asked the marquis to send his personal guard captain to deliver a post and invite him personally, this is a big name.

If he had known that Shen Zhuru had such a background, it would have been redundant for Mu Hongxun to come over yesterday to ask for money to tie up people.

Not to mention the money, it is still unknown whether it can be done, which is a wrongful amount of money for the old lady, and it is strange if he is not distressed.

And this distress involuntarily turned into a blame for Shen Zhuru, blaming her for not speaking out with such a powerful background, so that her son suffered a lot of grievances, looked at a lot of faces, and spent a lot of wronged money.

"Mama Cui, if the young lady comes back, let her come to my house immediately, and these gifts will be sent to the young lady's house, indicating that it is a little bit of the heart of the aunts, uncles, brothers and sisters-in-law in the house, no need to keep one, send them all."
