Qu Muge was afraid that Bai Yuanhui would overdo things because of the pressure he exerted, and added: "It's just to send my grandmother back to her hometown, in the end, it's a family, pay attention to some proportions, and still abide by the law." ”

Bai Yuan smiled back and responded: "Yes, I will definitely abide by the law." ”

Bai Yuanhui is very honest and responsible in front of Gu Nanye and Qu Muge on weekdays, but he was able to become a brocade guard despite the opposition of his family, and he has served in the court for many years, so he can't do it without some ability.

Jin Yiwei usually does his best to deal with the black material of the royal investigation officials, dealing with some thorny problems that Dali Temple and the Criminal Department can't handle.

Qu Muge estimated that he also had some black material from the Bai family in his hands, since he said so, it must be able to be done, so she didn't ask in detail.

Today is the day when Princess Qing returns to the door after getting married, Qu Muge did not leave Bai Yuanhui for lunch, and let him go back to Baifu early, presumably when he saw Bai Lingting, he still had some things to discuss.

The concubines and several other princesses in the palace either came to congratulate in person, or sent people to send gifts, Qu Muge thanked them one by one, and when they were done, it was time for lunch.

When she thought there were no guests, Huanhuan reported: "Someone from Zhongcui Palace has come." ”

Because of Li Muzhen, Qu Muge did not have close contact with Zhong Cui Palace, and Concubine Xi and the fourth princess sent someone to celebrate her birthday, which was a bit unexpected.

Instead of Zhong Cui Palace, it was Ying Gonggong who came to give a congratulatory gift, and after Ying Gonggong said some auspicious words, he accepted Qu Muge's reward, but he had no intention of leaving.

Qu Muge let Huanhuan serve tea and said, "I haven't sat down with my father-in-law for a long time to drink tea, and my father-in-law is free today, so let's sit for a while." ”

Father-in-law Ying's beard is gray, and he is the oldest father-in-law in the palace stewards.

He smiled and said, "Taking advantage of the good day of the princess today, the old slave wants to come and ask for a lottery." ”

Qu Muge nodded, when she wooed Father-in-law Ying before, she said that she would give him "benefits", but Father-in-law Ying never "offered" her, and she never took the initiative to move around with him.

Ying Gonggong said: "The old slave is getting older, and he is getting more and more immobile this year, and it is the age to return to his hometown." But the old slave has been alone in the palace for decades, and he has no relatives outside the palace, so he is afraid that no one will care if he dies. The old slave wanted to leave the palace as soon as possible, so he saved some silver at hand, and went to the palace to raise a child outside the palace for a few years, so that he could provide for me in old age. ”

Qu Muge understands very well that eunuchs have no queen, and what they are most worried about is what happens after death.

"My father-in-law has served the royal family all his life, how can I let you be old and have nothing to rely on? If you want to go out of the palace to raise a child, these are easy, but you are old, and it is not convenient to take the child alone, so you still have to have a master to rely on. ”

Father-in-law Ying's eyes flashed, he was originally an informant of the Bai family, thinking that Princess Taixuan meant to let him continue to work for the Bai family after leaving the palace.

He refused: "The old slave is old, he is a waste, where there is someone to take him in, there is no need to make trouble, and the princess does not have to owe a favor to a foreign family for me as a slave." ”

Qu Muge was a little surprised, Father-in-law Ying not only had to leave the palace, but also had to draw a clear relationship with the Bai family, which was interesting.

She didn't ask, but said: "My father-in-law is an old man in the palace, how can no one invite you to go?" I never beat around the bush with my father-in-law, so I told you directly. Mrs. Gu of the Yiyong Marquis Mansion is in charge of the property of her mother's Song family, and since she entered Beijing last year, she has been a little powerless, and she wants to find some experienced and reliable people to go to Jinling on an errand for her. If the father-in-law is willing, the Gu family and the Song family must be very welcome. ”

Father-in-law Ying was stunned, a little surprised by this arrangement.

But he didn't answer immediately, only said that Princess Xie was kind and allowed him to consider it again.

Sending him away, Huanhuan was a little puzzled, and said: "The princess has been showing favor to him since last year, he has been half-lukewarm, and he told you something last year, and he still upset you, and it is useless." You arranged such a good place for him, he still didn't appreciate it, and the princess gave him too much affection. ”

Qu Muge said: "Father-in-law Ying is an old man who serves my mother, and as soon as my mother enters the palace, he will serve him closely. Whether it is the affairs of the palace or the Bai family, he must know a lot, but I haven't been able to pry his mouth open. What's more, since the death of her mother, the people around her have been removed by Zuo Guifei one after another, but he has been able to live in the palace unharmed, and his ability is not simple. Now that he is suddenly going out of the palace, he is still unwilling to join the Bai family, but I am afraid that he knows something I don't know, so he starts to find a way out for himself. ”

Huanhuan realized it and said, "You have to watch him, you can't let him get out like this." ”

After dealing with these trivial matters, Qu Muge looked at the door, and said a little depressedly: "Didn't Master Hou send someone to bring a message today?" ”

Huanhuan's expression was also a little lower: "Not yet, maybe on the road again, your birthday, Hou Ye will never forget it." ”

What's more, she also handed over a letter to her brother Xu Ruhuan yesterday, repeatedly emphasizing today's Taixuan's birthday.

Gu Nanye was just transferred from the Criminal Department this month and transferred to the Ministry of Industry, where he served as the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and reorganized the four Qing Officials Divisions of Yingxi, Yuheng, Dushui, and Tuntian.

The Ministry of Industry is in charge of civil construction, the utilization of utensils, the dredging of canals and weirs, and the manufacture of military weapons, and the government-run industries such as mining and metallurgy and textiles are also under the overall management of the Ministry of Industry.

Gu Nanye's new official took office, and it was a situation where all industries were waiting to be prospered, and it was not enough to describe his busyness day and night.

Qu Muge knew all of them, so she didn't expect Gu Nanye to help her celebrate her birthday today.

It's just that there is no word, and it's a little sad......

Qu Muge sorted out his emotions and asked Huanhuan to come for lunch.

Watching the princess eat lunch alone, Huanhuan was a little aggrieved for her.

Because Hou Ye's time was uncertain, Taixuan turned down all the birthday banquets to make time for him, who knew that he would have to celebrate his birthday alone in the end.

Gu Nanye naturally remembered Qu Muge's birthday, but he had been holding meetings for three days in a row, just to be able to squeeze out a little time to accompany her today.

This year is a big year for the assessment, and the local guards and important personnel are returning to Beijing one after another to report on their work, and no one from the three or six departments is free, not to mention that the Ministry of Industry will also push a few new policies this year, and he has to talk clearly with the local authorities one by one.

During the break in the meeting, Fan Shishui, who was transferred to the Ministry of Industry, brought lunch, Gu Nanye took the time to eat two bites, picked up the meeting charter and looked at it a few times, pointed to the evening arrangement and said, "Didn't you say that this time should be vacated?" ”

Fan wading in embarrassment said: "King Qing will set off for Yanbei early tomorrow morning, this trip is dangerous, he said that he must have another interview with you today." ”

Gu Nanye frowned, very annoyed, but he couldn't refuse.

Qing Wangshang was going to travel far away on the third day of his wedding, and it was to recover the ownership of Yanbei Tianlin's land, so he had no reason to refuse to meet.

He had to instruct: "Let Xu Baoru send His Highness's birthday gift over." ”

He didn't want to fake someone else's hand, so he wanted to send it himself.
