It's no wonder that Du Fubao and Su Minlan have such an understanding.

After all, the two have not been short of money since they were children.

And after Su Minlan married into the Du Mansion, she didn't have a housekeeper, and she didn't know the specific monthly expenses.

Although he is a housekeeper in the Du family, Du Qichao is an imperial businessman and is not short of money at all.

Not to mention Du Fubao, who grew up in a honey pot, it can be said that he is so poor that he only has money left.

Eighty taels of silver, let alone a month, ordinary people can live a lifetime.

Even in the capital, eighty taels can live for many months.

Of course, it can't be compared with a big family like Su Fu.

Du Qichao coughed dryly twice, helplessly looking at the mother and daughter discussing where to save.

Gu Nuannuan's eyes were already empty, allowing them to twitch crookedly, and it was only in the end that Su Minlan raised her head and saw Du Qichao's eyes: "This, is there something wrong?" ”

Du Qichao smiled when he heard this: "No, I think Madam is right." ”

Gu Nuannuan came back to her senses, looked at Du Qichao's smiling face, and the corners of her mouth twitched: "Du Bo, why are you opening your eyes and talking nonsense!" ”

"You kid ......" Du Qichao was helpless.

Du Fubao also sensed that something was wrong, and pulled Gu Nuannuan's sleeve: "Nuan Nuan, is it too much?" ”

"It's too much." After popularizing the price for Du Fubao and Su Minlan, the two found out that it was really ......

"Then ten taels of silver?" Su Minlan asked tentatively.

"No, you don't." Gu Nuannuan's eyes rolled, and she said with a smile, "Tomorrow, Niang will go to Aunt Yue to borrow silver, Du Bo, you will also go to someone you know to borrow silver, and Fubao and I will go to the Su family to borrow it." ”

Du Qichao suddenly realized: "This is very good. ”

They all need to borrow money to live, and their family has no money.

At ten o'clock in the afternoon, King Xian sent Chenfeng to bring some silver, which was revealed by the second nephew of the gatekeeper of King Xian's mansion.

The next day, Chen's Mansion, Su's Mansion, Mu's Mansion, and Jingwang's Mansion all sent silver, and it was also passed out in various ways.

Mu Chenning in the palace got the news, smiled slightly, and said slowly: "The Du family, it is really a loyal minister of our country!" ”

The little plum on the side echoed.

On this day, Gu Nuannuan and Du Fubao went to the princess's mansion, now Mu Jiawan is the most noble eldest princess of Mu Chaoguo, the princess's mansion has been renovated again, and when the two of them entered, they found a lot more exquisite.

"It's good-looking, but it's boring without people." Mu Jiawan lay on the table, tilting her head to look at Gu Nuannuan and Du Fubao: "Nuan Nuan, there are new dim sums in your shop?" ”

"Hmm." Gu Nuannuan answered while writing something, and then handed the written letter to Chunlian, "Go and transfer the cinnabar and light powder back, and the shop at No. 15 East Street in Beijing will be converted into a medical hall." ”

"When did you buy the shop?" Mu Jiawan asked suspiciously.

Gu Nuannuan smiled softly: "It's Mu Rongyun's, his shops are all losing money, so I will take them over, No. 15, No. 16, No. 17 of East Street are all his, I will directly let people get through and open a medical center." ”

"By the way, the business over there in Ruyi Building is also very good, I heard that it not only receives male guests, but also female guests, let's go and see it tonight?"

Mu Jiawan's eyes were full of excitement, and she said with a smile.

"You go first, I've got something to do."

"What?"

"Look at the ledger." Gu Nuannuan rubbed her eyebrows, there are more and more shops, and she can't really become a hands-off shopkeeper, although Fang Hui and they have already handled a lot of things for her, but some people who can't make decisions have to rely on her.

For example, many people want to meet the owner behind the century-old restaurant, and there are many people who need to cooperate.

Gu Nuan is tired, it's just a place to eat, you can't eat well, don't think about these messy things.

In the evening, Mu Jiawan and Du Fubao came to Ruyi Building, which has now been changed to "Huanyu Building", and it is no longer open at night, it will be open day and night, but it is more fun at night.

"I don't see any women going in." Du Fubao whispered.

Mu Jiawan nodded: "But it has been written that there is no restriction on gender, let's go in and take a look." ”

The two walked straight in, there were no scantily clad women, no disrespectful guests, everyone sat in their places, or chatted, or talked about things.

The two asked for a private room, and when they walked in, they leaned against the window and looked at the scene outside.

Soon, there were women who came out to perform, singing, dancing and playing the piano, and could do anything.

If it was just that, it wouldn't attract anyone, but the problem was that there were still people who were amused by the speech, and after almost an hour, the candles were all extinguished, and they were replaced by night pearls, and the light became more and more dazzling.

Then, a little maid came in and knocked on the door and handed Mu Jiawan and Du Fubao masks.

"Put on a mask and no one knows anyone, and then you can go up and sing, dance and play the piano." Mu Jiawan whispered, "This is a way to reduce stress." ”

"Decompression?" Du Fubao was puzzled.

Mu Jiawan explained simply, and Du Fubao understood.

"Look." Du Fubao pointed to the two pieces of clothes on the bed in the room and said slowly, "I think this should also be for people who go up to perform the show, for fear of recognizing people through their clothes." ”

The two of them looked at the clothes, which were very wide, and people of any size could wear them.

"It's very powerful, and I don't know how I came up with it."

Mu Jiawan smiled and nodded, after all, she is a leader in the management world, can she not be amazing?

By the time Gu Nuannuan came, Du Fubao and the others were already ready to leave.

Gu Nuannuan glanced at it casually, and roughly understood the meaning of Chuancai, and changed the Ruyi Building to a decompression building, which was quite good.

The three of them came to the side street, eating, chatting, and it was so lively.

A horse galloped over, Gu Nuannuan pulled the two of them aside, watching the horse's hooves raise dust, Gu Nuannuan frowned, and said slowly: "I'm afraid there is some news." ”

"Huh?" Du Fubao looked at Gu Nuannuan puzzled.

"It should be Mu Chenqian, after my people followed Mu Chenqian to Huacheng, he lost it, I thought that Mu Chenqian would come to the capital, and I was not in a hurry, but now it seems that I am afraid that there will be another moth." Gu Nuannuan bought a baked cake and said while nibbling on it.

"Let's go to the Xian Wang's Mansion."

"Okay." Mu Jiawan and Du Fubao naturally responded, and the three of them quickly came to the Xianwang Mansion.

"What did Mu Chenqian do?" Gu Nuannuan asked directly.

Jiang Tiansheng frowned: "He intercepted the Donghe Kingdom halfway, and now he has a very good relationship with the envoys of the Donghe Kingdom, and he will go to the capital together." ”

Gu Nuannuan supported his chin with one hand and said lightly: "Could it be that he wants to join forces with Donghe Kingdom?" ”

"It's unlikely, if Donghe Kingdom wants to make a move on Mu Chaoguo, it won't choose to marry." Gu Nuannuan shook her head.

So, what does Mu Chenqian want to do this time?

Everyone present was puzzled, and in the end, they didn't discuss the reason, so they simply put the matter aside.

In the blink of an eye, it was the day when the envoy visited.

Early in the morning, Gu Nuannuan and Du Fubao packed up and came to the century-old restaurant, looking out the window, waiting for the princess of Donghe Kingdom to enter the palace.

It didn't take long to see the sedan chair, the breeze blowing, lifting the curtains, and also seeing the people inside.

Dressed in the costume of the princess of the East River Kingdom, her face was covered with a scarf, and her eyes were deep and waveless.

Du Fubao said suspiciously: "Looking at the exposed half of the face, it looks okay." ”

"But I don't feel very easy to get along with, I don't know if Wei'er can handle it."

Gu Nuannuan took a sip of tea and said slowly: "Don't worry, Wei'er still has Jiawan by her side, and she won't let her suffer." ”

"Besides, we'll be able to see her in the evening."

"Is Aunt Lan also going to the palace?" Du Fubao frowned, "Aunt Lan is pregnant, I'm afraid it will be ...... to enter the palace."

Gu Nuannuan was helpless: "Originally, the seven-rank officials didn't have to go, but the emperor personally named him, and there was no way." ”

"When the time comes, the two of us will look at my mother, and we can't go wrong."

As the two spoke, they returned to the Du Mansion, cleaned up, and the time came.

Gu Nuannuan called Xiao Biscuit and Chunlian, and asked Chunlian to follow behind Su Minlan.

On the carriage, Du Qichao said slowly: "No matter what, protect yourself first, even if you offend the nobles, it's fine." ”

"There are Mu Qizi and King Xian and King Jing on the left and right, how can I keep you."

"Of course, if you can, don't cause trouble."

Su Minlan looked at Du Qichao's nervous appearance, and said with a smile: "Husband, in fact, it's nothing to participate in the palace banquet, it's just to eat, although I am pregnant, but this is an obedient person, and I don't make a fuss." ”

"I asked Su'er to prepare sour plums for me, which can hold up."

Du Qichao sighed and held Su Minlan's hand, with some worry in his eyes.

When he arrived at the gate of the palace, he naturally wanted to get off the carriage and walk over, and Yang Wei's side and Mama greeted her, and when she saw Gu Nuannuan and others, she immediately saluted, and then went over with a few people.

"Niangniang is worried about you, so she asked the slave maid to wait here, Niangniang reassured the county lord and the township monarch that nothing happened during today's reception."

Gu Nuannuan looked at Mama He, thoughtfully: "Then the princess of the envoy is embarrassed by the queen's mother?" ”

He Mama smiled helplessly: "No wonder the princess said that she couldn't hide it from you, yes, it was indeed embarrassing, but with the presence of the eldest princess Gulun, the princess had nothing to say." ”

Speaking of this, He Mama laughed: "That princess seems to know a lot about Mu Chaoguo, and knows that my mother is a concubine, so she is very disdainful. ”

"What does Mama think of that princess's temperament?" Du Fubao asked in a low voice.

He Mama thought for a while and said slowly: "It's not easy to provoke." ”

Gu Nuannuan and the others understood: "Thank you, Mama." ”

"It should be."

Soon, he came to the main hall, Du Qichao's status was not high, so he could only sit at the end.

Waiting for Su Minlan to sit down, Du Qichao went to his place.

At this banquet, the men's and women's seats were separated.

Gu Nuannuan and Du Fubao also sat down next to Su Minlan, obviously wanting to get through the night.

As a shrill voice sounded, everyone got up.

"The emperor has arrived! The Queen Mother has arrived! The eldest princess of Gulun has arrived! ”

"Long live the emperor, long live, long live! Queen Chitose Chitose Chitose! The eldest princess of Gulun is blessed with Jin'an! ”

"Get up." Mu Chenning sat on the main seat, Yang Wei sat on one side, and Mu Jiawan sat below Yang Wei.

Mu Jiawan searched on the field, and finally saw Gu Nuannuan who was eating happily in the corner, and instantly didn't want to sit here, she wanted to go over to play with Nuan Nuan.

But seeing Yang Wei's nervous appearance, she pursed her lips and sat down.

I don't know when, Chenfeng suddenly came over and put the dim sum in his hand on Gu Nuannuan's table: "Greetings to Mrs. Du, Miss Gu, Miss Du, this is a snack sent by the master and Master Mu." ”

Gu Nuannuan tilted her head, took a bite, and her eyes lit up instantly: "The cook of the Xianwang Mansion." ”

Morrowind smiled: "Yes." After a pause, he continued, "Miss Gu, our master said that if the princess makes trouble for you, you can just call back, it's okay." ”

Su Minlan frowned: "Did the idle king get any news?" ”

Morrowind hesitated for a moment, but still nodded: "Yes, we got the news, the princess seems to be very interested in Miss Gu, so ......"

Du Fubao's heart tightened, and he grabbed Gu Nuannuan's arm: "Nuan Nuan, how can the princess know you?" ”

"Then thank you Qian Shizi for promoting it for me."

Gu Nuannuan's eyes flashed with a hint of uncertainty: "It's okay, if you dare to provoke me, I will beat her so much that she doesn't even know her!" ”
