Chapter 145: Ingenuity

When he arrived at Mo's house, Mo Yanxi sat on the chair in a daze.

Seeing this, Xiangxue pulled Nan Ke over and asked in a low voice, "Miss, what's wrong?" How did I go out with you and come back like this? ”

Nan Ke shook his head: "I don't know, we didn't go anywhere, we only went to Feiling's shop to buy clothes." When I came down from the upper floor, she was already like this, absent-minded all the way, as if something was on her mind. I didn't dare ask. ”

When Xiangxue heard this, her brows furrowed, and she waited obediently not far from Mo Yanxi. After a while, Sakura Niang also came. Holding an invitation in his hand, like Xiangxue, waiting.

The sun gradually deviated, and Mo Yanxi came back to his senses. As soon as she turned around and saw Xiangxue and the others, she hurriedly said, "Why didn't you call me?" How long have you been waiting? Sit down. ”

When Xiangxue and the others heard this, they came over and sat down, Xiangxue looked at Mo Yanxi and said, "Miss, but what happened?" ”

Mo Yanxi shook his head: "I met a... Acquaintances only. It doesn't matter, it's not a big deal. What's the matter with you? ”

When Ying Niang heard this, she hurriedly put the invitation card in her hand in front of Mo Yanxi and said, "This is the invitation card given by the Guogong Mansion." ”

Mo Yanxi opened the invitation and looked at it for a long time, and after confirming that it was correct, he wondered: "Guogong Mansion? How can it be! We're just a merchant, how can we be on the invitation list? ”

It is no wonder that Mo Yanxi was puzzled, most of the people who knew that he could get the invitation of the Guogong Mansion were important officials of the DPRK and China. Some petty eunuchs don't have it, how could they have!

Ying Niang smiled: "It seems that Miss doesn't pay much attention to our drunken ten miles of business, but now we are drunk ten miles in Wenxi City, but we are in the limelight, only this one, people come and go, and even people in the palace come." The lady of the princess is also a long-term guest. Moreover, this time the Guogong Mansion held a banquet, and it seems that the more famous merchants in Wenxi City have been invited. ”

When Mo Yanxi heard this, he thought for a long time before he said, "This must be what the old prince meant." Li Jiazu is a merchant from the text, and he has also been ostracized a lot in the past. Now that people are old, when they think of the past, they inevitably want to make up for something. ”

Sakura Niang nodded, and suddenly frowned and said: "However, this is also difficult, I heard the news from Miss Xiu'er just now, and now the merchants who have been invited to Wenxi City are all trying to break their heads and prepare congratulatory gifts, originally our family's incense is indeed no problem, but yesterday the Guogong Mansion ordered a list and sold all the incense that was being sold in Zui Shili." If you send it again, it always feels a little inappropriate. ”

When Mo Yanxi heard this, his mind gradually sank, since it was the Guogong Mansion, then they must not be frivolous, they must be cautious. Not only can you not let people get the handle. It also needs to be boutique. Don't seek to attract people's attention, but you must be decent.

Several people sat and thought about it for a long time, but they didn't come up with any tricks. Nan Ke stretched his head in from the door and whispered, "Miss, Sakura Niang, Xiangxue, it's time to eat." You are... Do what? A sad face? ”

Sakura Niang smiled: "If you want to have any wonderful things, you can give them to the Guogong Mansion as a congratulatory gift." ”

When Nan Ke heard this, he walked in, stepped aside, and said, "Guogong Mansion, such a big place, and Yuanling for so long. Nothing good has ever been seen. Unless it's something that doesn't exist in the world, it's ingenious. ”

Xiangxue nodded: "What you said does make sense, but how can we have things that don't exist in the world." It's not about making incense, you can always make something different. ”

Nan Ke also frowned when he heard this: "Since it is not easy to find, it is better to do what you like, at least you will not make mistakes." I used to hear my father say that the older people are, the more they are less interested in money, but the more they value classic books and calligraphy, and I think this is indeed feasible. ”

After listening to Nan Ke's words, Mo Yanxi suddenly stretched his brows, looked at Nan Ke with a smile, and said, "You are really an interpreter flower." This one does work. ”

Seeing this, Xiangxue and Sakura finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Mo Yanxi looked at the tabletop and said confidently: "Everything that does not exist in this world is created by people, and if we can create a unique incense, we can naturally make other unique objects." ”

On the tenth day of the first lunar month, the days of nearly five or six days of bright lights in the Mo house finally came to an end.

Early in the morning, Mo Yanxi stared at Yingniang's front and back tidying. After Xiangxue brought the hairpin for Ying Niang, Mo Yanxi stepped forward to comb Ying Niang's hair herself.

"Today, there must be a lot of people going to the Guogong Mansion."

Mo Yanxi asked in a low voice, and she didn't know whether to ask herself or Yingniang.

"In Wenxi City, officials of all sizes should be here, and that Prime Minister Mo Cheng is definitely not surprised."

Ying Niang looked at Mo Yanxi's figure from the bronze mirror and said.

Mo Yanxi smiled: "Yes, he will come, so I have to work hard for you this time, and now it is inconvenient for me to show up, try to stay away from them." Just send things over and come back in good condition. ”

Sakura nodded: "Don't worry, I have a sense of proportion, and everything is up to you." ”

Before morning, the whole and Wenxi City were already lively, and the firecrackers and fireworks in the alleys were continuous.

In the Dream Weaving Garden, Li Mengyao looked at himself in the bronze mirror with a flower and moon appearance, and his face became shy.

Today, she wore a peach-colored Luo skirt, with a few beautiful lotus flowers embroidered on it. The whole complexion of the lining is as white as snow, coupled with a delicate countenance, like satin black hair. really accompanied the title of the first beauty of Shangyuan Ling.

Mama Wang took a bowl of porridge over and said with a smile: "Miss is all over the country, if you dress up a little, you don't know how many people's eyes will be attracted. After a while, the old man must be very happy to see it. ”

When Li Mengyao heard this, he said with a smile: "From childhood to adulthood, my grandfather loved me the most, and now that my father has inherited the Guogong Mansion, he can also be completely at ease and enjoy his old age in peace." ”

Mama Wang listened and nodded: "The old man has done his best for the Guogong Mansion." Presumably, the lord will definitely let the Guogong Mansion carry forward. ”

Li Mengyao didn't speak, she didn't have the slightest hope that Li Chengming could strengthen the Guogong Mansion.

"Mama Wang, look at Li Yuan and his bewitching mother later, don't come out and be embarrassed, let others see it, and think that our Guogong Mansion has no education."

Mama Wang nodded, watched Li Mengyao drink porridge, and went straight to the backyard to stop the dressed Zhen.

At three o'clock, the gate of the Guogong Mansion was open, and guests kept coming and going.

Li Chengming personally stood at the door to greet the distinguished guests. I heard that someone was also sent from the palace today, and the rumor came out that there were two princes, the ninth prince King Yong'an and the sixth prince King Yonglu.

It is said that neither of these two married concubines, and as soon as they heard the news, almost every family brought their own young lady over. The meaning is clear.

Ying Niang took Zhang Xiu'er and entered the Guogong Mansion with a congratulatory gift, as expected, except for a little girl who came over to ask a few words, no one paid attention to them at all.

Everyone chatted in groups for a long time before the banquet began.

When everyone saw the old man, they all saluted respectfully. No matter how Li Chengming is, everyone absolutely respects Lao Guogong.

The old man entered the main seat, and then said with a smile: "Today is the day of my son's canonization, and the inheritance and burden of the Guogong Mansion will fall on him, and I hope that your colleagues can be more tolerant and caring." ”

Everyone said polite words in return.

"The old Guogong is serious, the Guogong Mansion is Yuan Ling's right-hand man, and it must not be missing, Li Shizi is rich in five cars, and he understands the righteousness, so he can naturally glorify the lintel."

There was a voice outside the main hall, and it was Yonglu Wang Yuan Zhenxuan.

Everyone stood up and saluted, Li Mengyao stared at the door, a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes.

Yuan Zhenxuan saw Li Mengyao in the crowd at a glance, and now she is more and more glamorous and moving.

"Greetings to King Yonglu."

The old man kept staring at Yuan Zhenxuan, how could he not see what he was thinking in his heart, and hurriedly interrupted Yuan Zhenxuan's gaze and relieved Li Mengyao.

When Yuan Zhenxuan heard this, he hurriedly stepped forward, hugged the old man, and said with a smile: "Sit down, old man, how can I accept your courtesy." Because Lao Jiu has recently caused a cold, he really can't come. I hope that the old man will not blame, but he still thinks about you, and specially collected a lot of treasures from all over the world for you to see. Your Majesty also asked me to bring a congratulatory gift. Congratulations to Li Shizi for inheriting the family business. ”

When the old prince heard this, he hurriedly smiled and said: "The minister and the child have thanked Your Majesty, the King of Yong'an, and the King of Yonglu!" ”

"Sit down, guys."

The people are complete, and in the main hall, the drums and sheng are blowing, so happy. When the people drank the wine, they became less restrained and came out to offer treasures. In the end, there was only one drunken ten miles left.

Ying Niang got up, walked to the middle of the hall with a dignified posture, and said with a smile: "Because the owner is infected with the cold, I can't come to the banquet, and I am drunk ten miles on behalf of our host to congratulate Li Guogong." May the government continue forever. Talent. ”

Everyone is staring at Sakura Niang, for the drunk ten miles, of course, they have more or less heard of it, sitting in nearly ninety percent of the old man's house, burning is the incense of the drunk ten miles.

Li Chengming saw that the girl behind Ying Niang was holding a thing covered by a yellow cloth in her hand, and she couldn't see what it was, so she instantly became interested, and couldn't help asking: "Drunk ten miles of incense, it can be said that it is famous, what kind of novel incense did you bring today?" ”

Sakura Niang saluted and said respectfully: "Returning to the country, it's not a fragrance, I specially prepared some other things today, and when I left, the owner specially instructed that this gift is not only for Li Guogong, but also for the old Guogong." ”

When everyone heard this, they became more and more interested. Seeing this, Sakura Niang chuckled, and then lifted the yellow cloth.

What appeared in front of everyone was a red brocade box and a white jade scroll.
