Along the way, Tang Mujin didn't speak, and even Li Xu was unexpectedly quiet, just observing Tang Mujin's face from time to time

Tang Mujin suddenly spoke, "You can ask whatever you want, but I won't necessarily answer."

"Are you really a witch?" Li Xu asked at this time

"If what happened just now can't be proven, do you really want me to put Gu on you, do you believe it?" Tang Mujin glanced at Li Xu

Li Xu asked again, "Then do you know a lot of spells?"

"Hmm," Tang Mujin replied casually

"Do you know Hades?" Li Xu asked curiously again

"Heh, not only do you know, but you are also very familiar," Tang Mujin said disdainfully

Li Xu nodded thoughtfully, and then asked, "Then do you know the King of Jizo?" ”

"Is Meng Po really old?"

"Is Bai Wuchang's tongue really long?"

"Is there really an eighteen layers of hell in the underworld?"

Li Xu started the chatter mode, and a series of questions made Tang Mujin upset, so he simply ignored him

"Eh, you answered me," Li Xu continued to chatter in Tang Mujin

"If you don't shut up, I'll cast a spell to seal your mouth, and you won't want to talk again in your life!" Tang Mujin threatened

Li Xu smiled ruffian and said, "That's not good, if I can't speak, how can I teach our children to read and write?"

The corners of Tang Mujin's mouth twitched, and he sneered, "Heh, you think really far, and you can read and read, how many big characters do you know?"

Li Xu didn't refute, just smiled

When I returned to Qingfeng Alley, it was already nightfall, and the shops on Suzaku Street were already hung with lanterns

Tang Mujin took out the water spirit bead from the Qiankun bag, put it in a red sandalwood brocade box, and put it in the secret room of the attic

Even at night, there were still a lot of guests in Qingfeng Lane, Tang Mujin came down from upstairs, and she heard the guests at the table by the window seem to be talking about something

Tang Mujin walked over and asked with a smile, "May I ask what the guest officers are talking about, can you tell me about it?"

"The proprietress is here, of course you can," said a guest officer

"The day before yesterday, the envoy from Loulan brought tribute and brought a woman, the woman was very arrogant, as soon as she entered the city, she ran to Lord Pei's house to make trouble, saying that she was going to compete with Lord Pei, eh, Lord Pei lost a miserable ah, after Her Majesty heard about it, she secretly issued an edict and offered a heavy reward, if anyone can defeat this Loulan woman, not only can she be added to the official rank, but also get a treasure" The more the guest officer said, the more mysterious it became, Tang Mujin didn't react, just smiled, and then got up and left

Coming to the counter, Tang Mujin flipped through the account books of the past few days, Dayue "I have made so much money in the past few days, it has quadrupled"

Shen Ruyan wiped the counter and said, "That's not it, Li Xu's kid is quite capable, that little mouth is like smearing honey, coaxing those female guests to come to our teahouse every day"

"It's really a disaster for the country and the people," Tang Mujin said with a smile

After reading the account book, Tang Mujin went upstairs again, came to the desk, sat cross-legged, closed his eyes in a heavy breath, and counted quickly with his left hand

Then he opened his eyes, smiled with satisfaction, and looked meaningfully in the direction of the palace

……

In the early morning of the day, Tang Mujin went out early and came to the peach blossom in the human face

Su Lianyi fanned her fan, greeted her with a smile, and said, "Eh, Boss Tang is here, please come in, please come in, our family Junjun has newly developed a beauty cream, do you want to try it?"

Tang Mujin replied with a smile, "Thank you Miss Su for your kindness, I'm not here to maintain it today, I'm here to talk to Helanjun about a deal."

Su Lianyi said, "Oh, Helanjun is greeting guests inside, you have to wait a little"

Tang Mujin nodded, Su Lianyi took Tang Mujin into the peach blossom in front of the people, got tea and pastries to greet Tang Mujin, and then was called by He Lanjun

After waiting for a while, Helan Jun was busy, stretched his waist and said, "Eh, I'm too busy."

Su Lianyi remembered that Tang Mujin was still waiting, and pushed He Lanjun and said, "Junjun, I forgot to tell you, Boss Tang came to you today, and he is still waiting in the private room, you go quickly"

He Lanjun disagreed, twisted his sore neck and said, "What did she come to me for?"

"I said I wanted to negotiate a deal with you," Su Lianyi said with a tilt of his head

"No, I'm tired today, let's talk about it tomorrow" He Lanjun sat on the chaise longue

Su Lianyi just wanted to persuade him to go, but Tang Mujin's voice first came from outside the door, "Helan Gongzi's face is really big, could it be that if you want me to follow Gu Xian's example, I can't do it three times?"

When Helan Jun saw Tang Mujin coming, he sat up, and he didn't hurry, playing with the brush in his hand, and said, "I don't know what Boss Tang is looking for me?"

"Presumably you have also heard about the Holy Hand of Loulan, don't you want to go back to the Tai Hospital as an official?" Tang Mujin was simple and clear

He Lanjun said, "Could it be that the business that Boss Tang said refers to this matter?"

"I can help you defeat the Loulan Holy Hand, and after you win the game, you just need to give me the mysterious treasure given by Her Majesty the Empress, and the other rewards will be yours" Tang Mujin opened the condition

Su Lianyi whispered in He Lanjun's ear, "In this way, we don't lose anything, let's agree, okay?"

Helan Jun rolled his eyes at Su Lianyi, and said, "What do you know, adults talk, children don't interject"

"Why did you come to me for this deal, you can go to my good apprentice Pei Yuntian," He Lanjun asked

Tang Mujin smiled and said, "He has already lost, and besides, only you can win the Loulan Holy Hand"

He Lanjun raised his eyebrows and said, "Then what if I don't make this deal with you?" ”

"You don't have to choose" Tang Mujin hid the knife in his smile, looked around again, and said, "The human-faced peach blossom looks like a guest, but in fact, it is almost impossible to open the pot, right?"

He Lanjun said embarrassedly, "Hahaha, joke, my peach blossoms will fall so hard that I can't open the pot?"

Tang Mujin looked at Su Lianyi and asked, "Isn't it, Miss Su?"

"Junjun, she's right, we're really about to be out of the pot......" Su Lianyi nodded weakly

"What!" He Lanjun stood up suddenly and asked Su Lianyi, "We just received the consultation fee from the Jin Mansion a few days ago, three thousand taels of silver!" Why is it gone?"

"Before, you said that you wanted to develop a new beauty ointment, and you wanted to buy medicinal materials, but I didn't have any cash, so I had to owe it to the owner of the pharmacy first, last time, you said that you wanted to re-establish our medical center, and you owed some silver, oh, and the day before yesterday, the aunt of the Du family said that the beauty cream you got for her last time didn't work, and I really didn't have any cash to return the money, and I owed it again, so I owed it, and I owed it, and I didn't ...... it" Su Lianyi said more and more quietly

Helan Jun was a little dizzy with anger, and said with his forehead raised, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"You won't listen to what you say......" Su Lianyi said aggrievedly

Tang Mujin said leisurely, "How is it, what does Prince Helan think?"

He Lanjun took a deep breath, smiled embarrassedly and politely, "Okay, deal!" ”

"Then I'll say goodbye first, Prince Helan has to go all out~" After Tang Mujin finished speaking, he turned around and left

Su Lianyi hurriedly sent the guest to the door, Tang Mujin suddenly said to Su Lianyi with a sad face, "Don't be unhappy, smile, don't give up, your love will come to you after going through hardships"

Su Lianyi looked confused, didn't understand what Tang Mujin meant, and asked, "Huh?" What do you mean?"

"It's nothing, just trust your own choice" After Tang Mujin finished speaking, he left a smile and left

Su Lianyi froze in place and muttered, "Trust my own choice?"

He shook his head again, and turned back to the peach blossom with a human face

When Tang Mujin was about to return to Qingfeng Lane, Shen Ruyan ran out in a panic and pulled Tang Mujin to run in the direction of Qingfeng Lane

He also scolded and said, "My aunt, where have you been?" But you've found me! ”

"What are you doing, panicked, ghosted?" Tang Mujin said

Shen Ruyan pointed to Qingfeng Lane, "Girl, girl...... Her Majesty the Empress is here! ”

"Come on, come on, what are you panicking about?" Tang Mujin said

Shen Ruyan said again, "She said that she wants you to challenge the Holy Hand of Loulan"

"Why?" Tang Mujin asked as she walked

Shen Ruyan shook his head and said, "I don't know."

Back in Qingfeng Lane, downstairs was already surrounded by people in the palace, Tang Mujin went upstairs and saw Her Majesty the Empress in a yellow robe sitting in front of the window, sipping tea

"See Her Majesty the Empress" Tang Mujin only bent down slightly, and did not kneel and bow

Her Majesty the Empress was not annoyed, and said, "I guess that little girl has already told you about my intention."

"Ruyan has already told me, but I won't challenge the Loulan Holy Hand" Tang Mujin looked at Wu Zetian's eyes

"Why?" Wu Zetian asked

"Your Majesty, I forgot, I'm a businessman, I don't know much about beauty, and besides, I've already found a good candidate, he is more suitable to challenge the Loulan Holy Hand" Tang Mujin said confidently

"Oh? Who is he?" Wu Zetian asked

Tang Mujin replied, "Helan Jun with a peach blossom face"

"Helanjun?" Wu Zetian muttered, "Yes, I almost forgot about him"

Tang Mujin snapped his fingers, had an extra white and tender peony in his hand, took off the heavy golden hairpin on Wu Zetian's head, pinned it to Wu Zetian, and said, "This looks much better."

Wu Zetian looked at himself in the mirror, and under the white peony, he seemed to be really younger

Long Yan Dayue said, "Okay, since you have found a candidate, then tomorrow I will announce that He Lanjun will enter the palace"

stroked the white peony on his head, glanced at the golden hairpin on the table, and said, "This golden hairpin will be given to you."

"Thank you for the grace of the Empress!" Tang Mujin said respectfully

Then he went downstairs with a smile on his face, "Congratulations to Your Majesty!" Tang Mujin said

Wu Zetian sat back to the palace in the emperor's seat, and Qingfeng Lane was not as crowded as Fang Cai

After Wu Zetian left, Tang Mujin caught a glimpse of Li Xu hiding in the attic, and shouted, "Hey, stinky boy, what are you hiding?"

Li Xu was taken aback, and said embarrassedly, "Who is hiding, I'm wiping the railing"

"You're so good, you don't even take a rag to wipe the railing," Tang Mujin said sarcastically

Li Xu embarrassedly disguised and said, "You don't understand this, how can you wipe the railing with a rag, then you can't wipe this good railing, you have to wipe it with a cotton cloth."

Tang Mujin smiled helplessly and shook his head, no longer exposing him
