Chapter 3 Mo Tianxin
At night, Xiao Lu still didn't go back to Wenxiang Courtyard, and the two secret guards hid in the trees of Wenxiang Courtyard and never saw Nangong Rou go out, but they just came out to get a meal when the maid who delivered the meal came.
The candlelight went out in the room, and one of the guards went to report to Sandalwood, while the other was still staring.
The remaining guard scratched the mosquito-bitten bag and pressed a cross on the bag with his fingernails.
The moonlight is charming, a black shadow is omitted from the Wenxiang Courtyard, just avoiding the sight of the secret guards, Nangong Rou wore a night robe and bypassed the guards in the Prime Minister's Mansion to go out of the house over the wall, and walked to the back alley of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Nangong Rou quickly took off her night clothes, revealing a set of red and black cross-collared long skirts inside, and threw the night clothes into the corner, Nangong Rou strode towards the most prosperous area in Kyoto at night - Fairview Street.
This splendid street can be described as the second home of high-ranking officials and nobles, three steps to a rich businessman, five steps to a high-ranking official, the rich second generation to grasp a quasi.
However, the consumption here is also beyond the reach of ordinary people, so the polarization between the rich and the poor here is extremely serious, and the service and the consumer are the two extremes.
As soon as Nangong Rou walked into the bright lights, two people followed her from the gate of the beautiful Splendid Street.
These two are a pair of brother and sister, the elder brother is called Mingchen, and the younger sister is called Mingzhu, the two were picked up by Nangong Rou from the pile of dead people, and they have been with her for six years.
The elder brother's personality is jumpy, but the younger sister is calm and sophisticated, but at this moment, both of them are following Nangong Rou with a cold face and carrying a sword, with a smell of a cult.
"Sister Rou, the Mozhi Study has been targeted by the people of the imperial court, we have always coexisted peacefully with the imperial court, do you think we should continue to buy them this time?"
Mingzhu whispered beside Nangong Rou.
Mingzhu's ink study is one of the industries under the name of Nangong Rou, on the surface it is a literati holy place that sells stationery, calligraphy and painting and sells some books by the way, but it is actually an underground auction house, which has antique famous swords, rare treasures and jades, etc., and the things that are generally auctioned in the ink study are "stolen goods" that come from unknown sources and cannot be sold openly.
Mo Tingxin, the third lady of the Zhenguo General's Mansion, is one of the many spies that Nangong Rou has planted in Kyoto, and it is also with the help of the name of the General's Mansion that the Ink Study will gain a foothold in Jinxiu Street, the most mixed street in Kyoto, in just five years.
"Those dog thieves in the imperial court just want to eat our dividends for nothing, tell them, I ink scholar study let them check, hmph, they don't need us to clean them up this time!"
Nangong Rou sneered, not taking those people in her eyes at all, Mingzhu and Mingchen glanced at each other, and they didn't understand why Nangong Rou was so confident, originally because of Mo Tianxin's identity, Nangong Rou would repeatedly tolerate the people in the court, but now she suddenly didn't care, could it be that Nangong Rou planned to get rid of them directly?
Thinking of this possibility, the two brothers and sisters were a little excited, and they could finally kill those stupid defects!
But Nangong Rou broke their illusions, and the three of them walked into the study full of ink fragrance, the study has five floors, but only four floors are publicized to the public, and the top floor of the fifth floor needs to show the special jade plate made by the ink man's study to enter, but there are only a handful of people who have this kind of jade card.
The three of them went up to the fifth floor without hindrance, and the people in the study looked curiously, but those who could go up to the fifth floor also had a special passage, and everyone only saw that the skirts of the three people were fluttering lightly without a trace of clouds, and all above the ankles were covered by the veils of the exclusive staircase, which was also a disguised practice to protect the privacy of guests.
On the fifth floor, Mo Tianxin had been waiting in the house for a long time, and when she saw Nangong Rou, she immediately got up and hugged her and said happily: "Ahhhh
"Hey, hey, oh my God, you're rubbing all this lipstick!"
Mo Tianxin left a big red lip print on Nangong Rou's face, Nangong Rou wiped it off with disgust, although Mo Tianxin looks like a small jasper, I feel pitiful, but her personality is with her father's violent temper of Mo Jian, the general of the town, and there is also a bad problem, when she sees good-looking people, she will be regardless of gender, and change her ways to take advantage of others, Nangong Rou is now accustomed to it.
Mo Tianxin secretly touched Mingzhu's waist in a place where Nangong Rou couldn't see, raised her eyebrows obscenely and said, "Mingzhu has lost weight recently~"
ββ¦β¦ Ink! Small! Sister! β
Mingzhu looked at Mo Tianxin with a warning expression, and his hand was already on the hilt of the sword.
"Oops~" Mo Tianxin withdrew his hand curtly, but still said stiffly: "Mingzhu, why hasn't your character changed at all, I care about you~ You see that I don't care about Mingchen~"
Mingchen stepped forward with a smile when he heard his name and said, "Miss Mo, you still don't care about Mingzhu, she's in a bad mood." β
Mingchen said the word "care" very seriously, and continued: "Sister Rou just said on the way here that we don't need to look at the threat of the bald old men in the imperial court, I think, Sister Rou must be going to solve them." β
Mo Tianxin shook his index finger mysteriously, smiled and took out a parchment scroll with two red seals printed on it from his wide sleeve, spread it out, and one of the red seals attracted the attention of the two siblings.
"This is the seal of the Princess's Mansion!" Mingchen was surprised.
At this time, Nangong Rou took the parchment roll and said: "Now you know why I'm not afraid of those old thieves, our new cooperation is the eldest princess of Zhaoyang, and a few of their old thieves will be handed over to the eldest princess to solve, what we are going to talk about next is much more troublesome than this." β
After speaking, Nangong Rou looked at Mo Tianxin, and the expression on her face suddenly became serious: "Xin Xin, you should have known about the marriage between the Nangong family and the prince." β
Mo Tianxin sat down and said with a smile: "This matter has already spread, okay, I don't live in the ditch, how can I not know." β
Nangong Rou approached her and said softly, "Then you...... Don't have any ideas? β
Nangong Rou and Mo Tianxin are the same age, they have known each other for 12 years, and Nangong Rou is all clear about Mo Tianxin's affairs, and Nangong Rou has already guessed the golden abacus played by the Prime Minister's Mansion this time, but this prince is the fiancΓ© of his best friend in Nangong Rou's eyes, as the saying goes, friends and husbands can't be bullied, so Nangong Rou will ask Mo Tianxin out in the middle of the night.
Mo Tianxin, who was originally excited, suddenly quieted down, and said in a low voice: "Rourou, you don't have to think about me, although I said that I grew up with him since childhood, but now he is a king, I am a minister, and the two of us ...... It's over before it even starts. β
Nangong Rou slapped Mo Tianxin's back: "How can you be like a resentful woman, you can rest assured, when you are a sister, you must stick a knife in both ribs, I will find a way to solve this matter, isn't it just a man, the old lady will go and knock him out and wash him and send him to bed for nothing!" β
