The cause of the fire was naturally due to fireworks.

The good birthday banquet was both bloody and fired, and the three princes were even more involved in the killing of the prince, and the official family finally made up their minds to punish them severely.

The three princes were exiled to Fangling after eighty, and the five princes were beheaded after the autumn.

Concubine Zhuang Guifei's face turned pale with fright on the spot, and she cried and begged: "Your Majesty, the eighty cane is directly asking for Jin'er's life." ”

The official family didn't pay attention to it at all, and went to the queen to rest that night, and even though Concubine Zhuang cried and begged, the official family did not withdraw her will.

On the second day, Mu Ningxuan heard from Mu Houye that the eighty boards of the three princes were not seriously injured by others with twenty boards~

This is obviously the official family releasing water, and the official family still keeps a hand for themselves.

A few days later, news came out from the Zhengxun Earl's Mansion that Guo Zhenghuai's right leg was completely useless.

Mu Hou Ye immediately entered the palace to find the official family to withdraw Mu Ningxuan's marriage, and it was really inappropriate for the only concubine of the Pingchang Marquis Mansion to marry a waste person, and the official family did not force it, and directly withdrew the holy decree of marriage.

Since the official family withdrew the holy decree, the six princes went to the official family every day to ask the official family for marriage, but the official family still did not agree.

Although the six princes did not let the official family relax, they moved Mu Houye.

Riding the hot iron, the six princes promised in front of Mu Hou Ye that they would marry Mu Ningxuan even if the official family did not agree. These words are to tell Muhou Ye that as long as he ascends the throne, he has the final say on who he marries, and he doesn't have to go through today's official family.

Mu Hou Ye was very touched, so he didn't worry about whether his daughter was married to the six princes now, and directly stood on the same front with the six princes.

***

Years ago, Qin's sister-in-law and third sister Mu Ningjia were found to be happy.

Mu Ningxuan was even happier than themselves, she went to the gold shop to make gold locks, and she went to the garment shop to order baby clothes, this time she knew that these two were male dolls, so they were all male dolls' clothes.

Mu Ningxuan knew that her sister-in-law loved sweet, and her third sister loved sour, so she specially sent people to all over the country to find fresh sweet and sour fruits to eat.

Although these two people like different tastes and have different appearances, in May of the following year, they are really big fat boys.

Now, Mu Hou Ye is scared, and he is both a grandson and a grandson.

Mu Ningxuan prepared a big gold lock for each person for her nephew and nephew, a box of small clothes for one person, and a big red envelope of 100,000 taels of silver for one person!

"100,000 taels of silver?" Mu Hou Ye couldn't believe it, Mu Ningxuan's shot was too generous.

"My daughter has money." Mu Ningxuan said with a smile.

“…”

Mu Hou Ye was choked to death by Mu Ningxuan about silver every time, how much silver did the Queen Mother give her~

"The red envelope my aunt gave is so big." Qin's sister-in-law smiled and said to Brother Tian in her arms.

Qin's words pierced Mu Houye's heart deeply, as a grandfather and maternal grandfather, the meeting gift for the child was not as much as that given by Mu Ningxuan, who was an aunt and aunt, which made his old face go anywhere.

Mu Yuchen naturally knew that Mu Ningxuan was not short of money, but it was too much to directly take out 100,000 taels for the child as a meeting gift.

"Sister, why do you give such a big red envelope?"

"Brother Tian is the eldest grandson of our Pingchang Marquis Mansion, and he deserves as much as he wants." Mu Ningxuan said with a smile.

As soon as he said this, Mu Hou Ye was not so angry, originally Mu Ningxuan was also a daughter, and she was going to marry after all, so much silver was given to Brother Tian'er to the Pingchang Hou Mansion.

Brother Jun, the third sister, also got 100,000 taels of silver. Mu Ningxuan sent things over on the day of the child's baptism, and many people were there at that time, especially in the rooms of King Wu's mansion, and they were all surprised to see Mu Ningxuan's big handwriting.

Mrs. Wu was so happy that she couldn't keep her mouth shut, it was really worth marrying Mu Ningjia back as her daughter-in-law.

Of course, Wu Sanlang was also happy, and he raised his eyebrows again, the gift money received for the entire baptism ceremony was not more than half of what Mu Ningxuan gave, and his daughter-in-law had such a good sister, of course, it was very face-saving.

But what makes Wu Sanlang and Mrs. Wu the happiest is that Mu Ningjia gave birth to a big fat boy, this is the first son in the second room, and the eldest of the Wu family has all given birth to daughters so far.

This time, the sister-in-law of the third sister had a black face the whole time, obviously unhappy.

Mu Ningxuan can't bother them, as long as the third sister is happy, but she is also secretly protected by the third sister's side, and there must be no more situations in this life where the third sister falls into the water and no one saves her.

In order to let the third sister and Qin's sister-in-law recover as soon as possible, Mu Ningxuan did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to invite the best doctor in the capital to recuperate.

For this, the Qin family and the third sister are very grateful to Mu Ningxuan.

***

Time flies, and in June, the weather is hot again.

In the past six months, the official family's body has deteriorated day by day, but the only six princes who can inherit the throne have not been named princes.

The ministers of the court and the central government have written a table and asked the six princes to be crowned as the crown princes, and no one could have imagined that the six princes, who were inconspicuous in the past, were very skillful in handling political affairs, citing scriptures and classics, and being reasonable and orderly.

The ministers also found that the six princes were first-class in addition to calligraphy and painting, as well as riding and archery, and they were really all-rounders.

The official family had no choice but to agree.

After the edict, the three princes who were far away in Fangling were not calm when they heard the news~

***

Pyeongchang Marquis Mansion.

Liujutang.

"County Lord, it's summer, why do you buy so much charcoal and put it in the mansion?" Xiaofu looked at Mu Ningxuan puzzled.

Mu Ningxuan smiled and said: "You'll know in the future, by the way, Xiaofu, go and tell Princess Gao Rou and Qin's sister-in-law, the vacant land on the west side of our mansion is digging a cellar, and I will dig out the silver from the cellar." ”

"Huh? Dig another cellar? Xiaofu's face was full of surprise, "Then if the princess asks what she is doing digging in the cellar, what should the slave and maid say?" ”

"You said it was for charcoal." Mu Ningxuan said lightly.

Xiaofu couldn't understand at all, it was only June, the hot summer was coming, why did the county lord hoard so much charcoal, except for the cellar in the backyard of Liu Jutang, the three cellars in the Pingchang Marquis Mansion were filled with charcoal.

The silver earned by "Zhenpinxiang" was used to buy charcoal, but fortunately, charcoal was still cheap in summer.

But no matter how cheap it is, it's bought with white silver, isn't it fragrant to buy food with so much silver~

Xiaofu doesn't know, and even everyone doesn't know, that this year is the coldest year.

Mu Ningxuan remembered that as soon as winter began this year, it began to snow heavily, and the heavy snow fell for five days and five nights, and the entire capital was covered in snow, and the ground was covered with snow one foot thick, which turned the capital into a snow city.

Countless houses in the city and on the outskirts of Beijing collapsed under the heavy snow, and countless people froze to death.

A large number of ordinary people had no fixed place to live, and shallow their clothes shrank on the edge of the major mansions in the capital.

Mu Ningxuan knew all these disasters and sufferings, she couldn't change the snow in winter, but she could make fewer people inside and outside the capital die because of the heavy snow, and fewer people would be cold and starving.

In addition to hoarding charcoal, Mu Ningxuan's next step was to hoard food.

It's just that the grain is easy to get damp and can't be stocked up so early, so Mu Ningxuan ordered the grain on the major villages on the edge of the capital in advance.

Of course, the price is also very fair, after all, the people in Zhuangzi are ordinary people, and they can buy more clothes and food if they have more income before the end of the year.

Although Qin's sister-in-law didn't know why Mu Ningxuan was hoarding so much charcoal, she raised her hands in agreement with what Mu Ningxuan said.

This time, Mu Ningxuan was digging a cellar, but Qin's sister-in-law was afraid that it would not be enough, so after asking Mu Ningxuan, she dug up one more, and deliberately didn't use the silver given by Mu Ningxuan, and went to the public account of the Pingchang Hou Mansion.

Mu Ningxuan was so aggressive, others didn't dare to care, let alone ask more, but Mu Hou Ye naturally couldn't ignore it.

"Xuan'er, you are hoarding charcoal and digging cellars, what are you going to do?"

Mu Ningxuan deliberately raised her right hand and pinched it in front of Mu Houye: "Father, daughter calculated, this year's winter is very cold, and it will snow heavily for a long time. ”

Mu Hou Ye was stunned: "When will you pinch your fingers?" Where did you learn the tricks of fortune tellers to fool people? ”

"It's true, father, you can talk to the official family in the last court." Mu Ningxuan looked at Mu Hou Ye with wide eyes and a blink.

Mu Hou Ye said speechlessly: "It's not summer yet, just talk about winter, it's not a joke, what's more, which winter isn't cold?" What about the snow that has been falling for a long time, and it doesn't freeze to death. ”

"It's going to freeze to death, it's really cold this winter, and the snow is very heavy, father." Mu Ningxuan said urgently.

Mu Hou Ye still didn't believe it, but he didn't stop Mu Ningxuan from hoarding charcoal, after all, it wasn't his silver that was spent, and he couldn't go against Mu Ningxuan, who would become the queen's mother in the future.

After hoarding five cellars, Mu Ningxuan still felt that it was not enough, but he couldn't dig the entire underground of the Pingchang Marquis Mansion like a hornet's nest.

So Mu Ningxuan came up with a way to send charcoal.

Mu Ningxuan successively sent six carts of charcoal to Wu Wangfu and Lin'an Hou Mansion, and they had no place to put so much charcoal, so they had to dig a cellar and stuff it into the cellar.

In addition to sending charcoal to King Wu's Mansion and Lin'anhou Mansion, Mu Ningxuan also sent six large truckloads of charcoal to Princess Gaorou's princess's mansion.

For this reason, Princess Gao Rou also had a headache, and this little girl couldn't let go of the idea of fighting her princess's mansion at home.

However, Princess Gao Rou can only get used to it, who is her "daughter", there are no children between Princess Gao Rou and Mu Houye, and she is not suitable for childbirth at this age.

The prince's case was found out, the matter of the fifth prince was over, and the little prince did not ask about the secret book on Mu Ningxuan, so there was no conflict of interest between Princess Gao Rou and Mu Ningxuan.

Mu Ningxuan is well-behaved and well-behaved, and she is also very beautiful and pleasing, Princess Gao Rou likes it very much, and these days, she has also given birth to a little sincerity towards Mu Ningxuan.

***

There is an incense shop "Agarwood Fang" in the capital, which is not a strange thing originally, and Mu Ningxuan doesn't care very much, after all, she also knows the two people from Tianjin-Xian Xian and Si Luo, but she doesn't have a good impression of them.

However, Mu Ningxuan found that a small part of the incense pills sold in the "Agarwood Workshop" tasted exactly the same as the "Treasure Fragrance", and they were not inferior fragrances, but real fruity or floral fragrances.

Yutang asked the little maid to secretly buy a few kinds of them back, and Mu Ningxuan found that these kinds of incense pills even had the same formula.

It's just that these kinds of incense pills, "Treasure Incense" sells for ten taels of silver, but "Agarwood Workshop" only sells for five taels of silver, and the price is half cheaper than "Treasure Incense".

Even so, the "Agarwood Workshop" only took away a small number of customers from the "Treasure Incense".

Liujutang.

"County Lord, do you have to participate in the competition of "The First Fragrance in the Capital"? Aunt Su was also a little confused.

Recently, in order to buy charcoal and food, Mu Ningxuan has spent almost all the silver earned by "Zhenpinxiang" in the past few months.

Now for the first place, a mere 50,000 taels of silver, Mu Ningxuan actually wants to participate!

Mu Ningxuan nodded and said, "Yes, sign up for me, as long as we wear our hats, they won't recognize us." In Mu Ningxuan's opinion, as long as she participates in a competition, she can get 50,000 taels of silver, which is much faster than making money from "Zhenpinxiang".

She also has to buy winter clothes, this winter is so cold, charcoal fire and food are far from enough, without warm clothes to wear, many people will still freeze to death.

Mu Ningxuan wants to make more money before winter and earn a lot of silver, so that she can buy many, many winter clothes.

***

In order to do a good job in the competition of "the first fragrance in the capital", the lady Zhen of the Dingguo Marquis Mansion invited famous families and nobles, and almost all who could shout shouted.

The entire Songhe restaurant has been wrapped.

The owner of Songhe Restaurant is said to have gone on a trip, so now the owner of Songhe Restaurant is a boss surnamed Wang, who is also a fat man.

Mu Ningxuan could see at a glance that the boss surnamed Wang was still Nangong Yirong.

It's not that Mu Ningxuan pays attention to him, but the boss surnamed Wang gave Mu Ningxuan a few looks, and tried to come to her to talk, but he was blocked back by Qiu Mo, Nangong Ji had been to Liu Jutang in the Pingchang Hou Mansion and had seen Qiu Mo, so he recognized her.

This is the first time Mu Ningxuan has brought Qiumo out, and in the past, she came out with either Xiaofu or Yutang or Aunt Su.

Because Qiu Mo is the most secure in doing things, staying in Liujutang to manage those maids, Mu Ningxuan is the most relieved.

This time, in order not to let everyone recognize that the boss behind "Zhenpinxiang" was her, Mu Ningxuan put on a hat and deliberately brought Qiumo with her.

Today, Songhe Restaurant was full, and Mu Ningxuan found that the wing room on the second floor was sitting in the middle of the little prince.

Of course, in addition to the little prince, there is also an acquaintance who is also in the box on the southeast side of the second floor.

There were four or five young men sitting in the box on the southeast side, only he shrunk in the small corner of the box and looked at the little prince sitting in the middle from time to time, probably surprised that the little prince would come.

Mu Ningxuan felt very funny when she looked at Rong Jing like this, and she didn't understand why Rong Jing was so afraid of the little prince.

There are thirteen incense shops participating in the "First Incense in Beijing" competition.

"Dark Xiangfang", "Qinxiangtang", "Yuanyuxiang", "Miaoxiangzhai", "Yaoxiangge", "Changxiangsi", "Tianfuxiang", "Fan Xianglin"...

Almost all the incense shop owners in the capital who can be said to have their names came, except for the two incense shops of "Yao Xiang Ge" and "Chang Xiangsi", the contestants of the two incense shops are male bosses, and the other incense shops are all female bosses.
