Chapter 230: Summoning the Imperial Study
Full Moon smiled with a little pity, took out a jade plaque from his arms, and handed it to Mu Wenran with both hands. "Boss, look at this."
Mu Wenran spread out the jade plaque in the palm of his hand, and looked at it carefully back and forth.
The dragon pattern on it is very exquisite, the tassels and beads are extremely exquisite, and the jade material is warm and moist, even if she doesn't know how to do it, she can roughly judge that the price of this material is expensive.
"Have you ever seen this jade plaque?" She handed the jade plate to Jing Anyao.
Jing Anyao held the account book in his hand, raised his hand and gently rubbed the corner of his forehead, and his eyes briefly stayed on the jade plate for a moment.
"The year before last, the emperor rewarded General Chu for his meritorious service in expelling the Tartars from the frontier, and he was given a special concubine, and General Chu and Jing Yu each had a jade plaque to show their merits."
"Oh? In this way, this jade plate is only owned by the concubine's family? ”
Mu Wenran smiled slyly, his bright eyes looked directly at Jing Anyao, and the little abacus in his heart crackled.
"What you want to do first, just let it go, and it'll be fine." Jing Anyao knew that she had an idea in her heart again, and put down the account book in her hand with a low smile.
"Don't you see that I've already arranged it?" At the mention of the plan, Mu Wenran's little face suddenly became serious.
The full moon blesses the body. "Yes, Gongzi Jing Yu left depressed just now, I'm afraid I'm going to rush back to move the rescuers."
"It's okay if it's just to move the rescuers, but if it's ......" Mu Wenran shrugged, and as soon as the words fell, he saw Gui's mother running in in a panic.
"Ouch, my little ancestor, this shop is running so well, why are there so many officers and soldiers outside? It is surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside! Her face was full of anxiety, and the handkerchief in her hand waved the wind, which showed that the situation was somewhat serious.
Jing Anyao and Mu Wenran glanced at each other, calmly got up and left the account room, and as soon as they opened the door, they saw a very familiar face.
"General Wei Yuan? Why are you here? Drinking flower wine is coming? Mu Wenran was stunned for a moment, and then lost his voice and laughed.
"Look at what you said, I think you are in trouble, just now the emperor sent an edict to take you to the imperial study for questioning, what are you doing to hurt the heavens and reason?" Wei Yuan didn't like those polite fake tricks either, so he stepped forward and patted her shoulder helplessly, feeling sorry for her.
The emperor's dictation? This Jing Yu's legs and feet are really neat enough.
Full Moon looked at Mu Wenran, who was standing still and thinking about it for a long time, thinking that she was hesitating or afraid, and it was a big deal to let anyone see the emperor alone, and it was normal for Mu Wenran to behave like this.
"I'll go with you!"
"No, Full Moon, you stay in the Huixiang Pavilion, I'll be fine."
Summoned by the full moon, Mu Wenran seemed to wake up, she chuckled, waved her hand indifferently, and followed Wei Yuan out.
Full Moon was still not at ease, and stood at the door with Gui's mother for a long time, only to find that Mu Xing'er went back to the account room to read the account book after sending Mu Wenran away, and she didn't seem to be worried about Mu Wenran's comfort at all.
"Xing'er, why aren't you in a hurry at all? I'm afraid your sister will ...... if she goes."
"If my sister doesn't have any skills at all, she doesn't need to be the shopkeeper of the Xiang Pavilion, and with His Royal Highness with her, even if something happens, he will help solve it."
Mu Xing'er pouted confidently, opened a new account book from the side, and checked them one by one.
"If you are free, come and help me keep an account, our new shop will open in two days, you have to be careful about this matter."
"New shop? Isn't our one Huixiang Pavilion enough? ”
Full Moon and Mama Gui were instantly attracted to attention, and hurriedly took two steps forward and walked to Mu Xing'er's side, wanting to see the contents of the account book.
"Yes, it's troublesome enough for us to take care of it in the Xiangge, and she wants to do other business?"
"It's not that I'm thinking, but it's already about to start, Huixiang Pavilion is all over the four or five prosperous places in the capital, the house has been decided, and it will be recruited in a few days."
Mu Xing'er paused, picked up a red-covered ledger from the other side with a headache, gently placed it in front of her, and opened a few pages, on which were dense bookkeeping.
"Have you seen this, this is a branch of Xu's Pharmacy, and it is also located in this capital, I have been really busy these days, otherwise my sister would not have asked His Highness for help." She seemed to complain, but her tone was full of pride and joy.
Mother Gui and Full Moon were both shocked, looking at the ledger with many words written in disbelief.
"This girl's heart is really big enough! Since then, won't half of the business in the capital be taken away by her? ”
"If that's the case, I just hope that she and the two of them can come back safely."
With Mu Xing'er in the rear to stabilize the morale of the army, Mu Wenran and Jing Anyao soon arrived at the palace, and the entrance of the imperial study was strictly guarded, and all idle people entered it.
"What people!" Seeing Wei Yuan and someone coming here, the two guards led by him crossed the spears in their hands and stopped in front of several people.
"Keep your dog's eyes open and see who Lao Tzu is! Just now, the emperor wore a verbal message, are you deaf! Lao Tzu is bringing people here now, get out of the way for me! Wei Yuan's eyes widened angrily, and he roared angrily, causing the surrounding leaves to tremble twice.
When the guards saw his waist card, they bowed their hands and retreated a little nervously. "General Wei is angry, and he is just acting on orders."
Wei Yuan glared at him angrily, turned his head and looked at Mu Wenran worriedly. "You have to be careful, I told you everything I should say, but I don't know what the emperor is and what he has attitude, you are in front of the emperor, be careful, don't talk nonsense."
Mu Wenran nodded again and again, listening to his nagging sentence by sentence, his heart was warm.
"You are usually very aggressive, why did you become so chatty at this time? It's like my mother. ”
"You girl...... Hey, forget it, I won't talk to you more, you be careful, Your Highness and I are staying here, you can just shout loudly if there is anything. ”
Wei Yuan gave her a roll of the eyes, and Jing Anyao slowly let go of the hand that was holding her and stroked her bun. "Be careful, there's me here, don't worry."
Mu Wenran nodded vigorously, and then stepped into the imperial study.
As soon as she approached the study, the two sandalwood doors behind her were gently closed, and an invisible coercion enveloped her.
"Don't be afraid, this emperor is about to ask you why you are so busy with the brothel of Qinglou, and you are ready to answer." As she got closer and closer to the inner room, Xiao Bao's incomparably loud voice suddenly sounded in her head.
