Volume 1 The Orphan Girl in the Imperial Capital Chapter 38 Becoming Famous in the Imperial Capital

Because she was too angry, the eldest lady Qi didn't ask Lu Rui about the specific situation until the next day, and after learning that Zhou Qi was not dead, her face suddenly became ugly, and she stared at Lu Rui with a chill:

"Why didn't you say such important news yesterday?"

Yesterday, when the eldest lady heard that the matter was not successful, she directly drove everyone out, and she had no chance to report it. It's just that Lu Rui didn't dare to argue, knelt on the ground and pleaded guilty again and again: "The slave is guilty, please punish the lady." ”

"Forget it," Qi waved his hand irritably, "You get up, go see Qing Yao, I heard that she didn't eat this morning, let the kitchen be remade and sent to her." ”

"Yes, ma'am." Exiting the room, Lu Rui breathed a heavy sigh of relief, since the fourth lady was in charge of the third room alone, the eldest lady has been frustrated many times, and her temper is getting worse and worse, she used to just run errands with Lu E, but now she is directly obedient to the order, only to find that it is not easy.

There was no peace in the Mu Mansion, and there was even more trouble in the imperial capital. Now that there is nothing to do during the New Year, all the people are paying attention to this big drama, and even the palace has received various news one after another.

Yue Jingxuan looked at the ledger in his hand, if Mu Yunlan was here, he would find that the things recorded in the ledger were exactly the same as the ones she handed over to Jingzhao Mansion Yin: "General Fuyuan...... It's a shame. ”

Tianshu on the side nodded very approvingly: "What the master said is very true, General Fuyuan is indeed a soldier like a son, and it is extremely difficult to persist for so many years." ”

"The eldest prince and the third prince told the emperor what happened truthfully?" Yue Jingxuan closed the account book, and a cold light flashed in his deep eyes.

"Yes, I told the matter yesterday, but the emperor has not replied."

Yue Jingxuan raised the corners of his lips lightly, and his smile was full of mockery: "I'm afraid that our emperor is not moved by General Fuyuan's kindness at this time, but is annoyed that he can still buy people's hearts if he dies." ”

Tianshu fell silent, this topic was not something he could answer.

Yue Jingxuan sketched in his mind the scene of Mu Yunlan refuting everyone alone, and a faint pity crossed his heart, if it wasn't for the poisonous attack in his body that day, he should have gone to see it.

"Tianshu, let people keep an eye on Zhou Qi in prison, don't let the Qi family be killed."

"Yes, master, it's just that Zhou Qi didn't know that it was the eldest daughter-in-law of Mufu who bought him."

"He doesn't know, you let people tell him secretly."

Tianshu was a little puzzled: "However, with his words alone, I am afraid that it will not damage the Qi family in the slightest, why does the master still do this?" ”

Yue Jingxuan raised his eyes to look at Hongmei outside the window, his eyes were cold and indifferent: "It's just a matter of adding a little talking point to the people of the imperial capital." After this incident, the Qi family was able to settle down for a while.

Led the order to go out, Tianshu still didn't understand a little, in the past, the master didn't pay attention to these things at all, why did he get interested today, is it...... Thinking of the unusualness of the master in recent days, Tianshu suddenly wondered, is it for the fourth miss of the Mu family?

Three days later, Yin Zhengbai of Jingzhao Mansion checked the account books provided by Mu Yunlan and blamed all the people who went to make trouble at the gate of Guogong Mansion that day.

Zhou Qi, who was in prison, also confessed, shouting all day long that the eldest lady Qi threatened him to go to the front of the house to make trouble, and if he didn't go, he would kill his whole family. Later, Jingzhao Mansion Yin did not find any evidence and concluded that he was biting indiscriminately. However, it is not known what the people of Kyoto guessed.

When the old lady Geng got the news, she immediately called Qi to Qinghe Courtyard and scolded her harshly in front of many subordinates, without leaving her the slightest face.

The green sleeves and Mu Yunlan described the eldest lady's face after being reprimanded: "Miss, don't you see, when the eldest lady came out, her face was full of tears, her makeup was spent, and her face was faintly green, for so many years, no one has ever seen her lose her temper like this." ”

Mu Yunlan burst out laughing: "Can your face still turn green?" ”

"Of course, it's a shame you didn't see it anyway."

Wu stood aside with a smile: "Last time, Miss Qi's ferret scratched the old lady, and the Qi family not only did not come to make amends, but also expressed dissatisfaction many times, hoping that our house would give an explanation." Although the old lady didn't say anything on her face, she must have hated them in her heart, and the eldest lady was angry this time. ”

"The slave maid doesn't think it's angry," Qingsleeve answered, "That day, the eldest lady invited the young lady to go, and after making trouble for so long, no one came out to stop it, thinking that the eldest lady had already known Miss Qi's plan, and wanted to make our young lady suffer, but she didn't expect our young lady to be very good, and she cleaned them up fiercely." ”

Mu Yunlan listened to what Qing Sleeve said, and the smile on her face never disappeared: "The store has reopened in the past two days, has the business been affected?" ”

"Miss Hui, not only did it not have an impact, but it got much better." Qingsleeve said, "Many people praised the general's good deeds, and it is only at ease that they can buy things in such a store." ”

Mu Yunlan nodded: "Well, I have also read the list sent by Uncle Wen Yuxin, you can send some practical things such as food according to the list." ”

"Miss, who else do you want to sponsor?" Green Sleeves was a little surprised.

"Naturally, although the Dayong Dynasty is now generally peaceful, the border is still in constant conflict every winter, and the Western Chu State has always been eyeing the enemy, I can't tell when I will use troops, I can't let the generals chill their hearts, at least not let the generals say that my father is not."

Mu Yunlan asked Wenyu to collect and sort out a list of the families of the fallen who really needed relief, and those who lived in poverty were sent food, and those who had children were sent to Shu Yu to study, in short, at least to ensure that they could live a normal life.

Wu exclaimed: "Miss really deserves to be the daughter of the general and his wife. "The two of them have spirits in heaven, and they must be very relieved at this time.

Mu Yunlan smiled, suddenly leaned on the table, and hit her head on the back of her hand: "It's just that there is a big problem, I'm so poor......"

Wu was very amused, and helped Mu Yunlan pull the scattered hair behind him: "Miss, don't forget, there is also the dowry left by the lady to you, and besides, the old slave has already sent a message to the emperor, I think it won't be long before you can receive a reply, and by then, you will have silver." ”

Mu Yunlan raised her head suddenly: "Grandfather? You sent him a message? ”

"Yes," Wu nodded and sighed, "The Emperor has three sons and one daughter, and the most beloved is the daughter of Madame, but it's a pity that the white-haired person sends the black-haired person, I don't know how sad the old man is." ”

Mu Yunlan lowered her head, and the face of an old man with a serious face and strong spirit flashed in her mind: not long after she was born, her grandfather resigned and returned to her hometown Lingzhou, and after that, she only remembered seeing her grandfather when she was ten years old.

Wu Shi looked at her suddenly, and couldn't help but say some interesting things: "The emperor loves you very much, and when you turned one year old, he personally brought your favorite brush over and asked you to catch it." It's a pity that you don't like brushes, but you are very interested in the beard of adults, and if you catch it, you won't let go, and the general and his wife coaxed it for a long time to no avail. The adults almost cut off their beards for you to play with. ”

"I don't even remember." Mu Yunlan was a little embarrassed.

"Later, on the day of the week, you really caught the brush that the emperor gave you, the lord was very happy, and he put out the silver two in the city Xinglong Restaurant for three days of banquet, and the whole imperial capital was very lively, but later Mrs. said, you wanted to grab the brush and throw it out, and the general saw it, and hurriedly held your hand, and didn't let you throw it away, and the emperor never knew."

Mu Yunlan listened, and couldn't help but smile, very envious of the original body: "How much silver does it cost to hold a three-day banquet in Xinglong Restaurant......" She is now very sensitive to silver and two.

The nurse Wu laughed: "Miss don't worry, the emperor is very rich." ”

Mu Yunlan didn't argue, but she didn't believe it in her heart.

Although her maternal grandfather has been an official in the court for many years, he himself is a noble school, does not form a party with others, and is indifferent to personal contacts, and when he goes to the two uncles, he is unwilling to enter the court as an official, and runs a private school in his hometown Lingzhou to teach students, and accepts students without class, and does not accept those who can't afford to be restrained.

Seeing her expression, Wu secretly laughed twice, and did not break her thoughts.

Mu Yunlan has been kept in the dark, and it was not until she really saw her grandfather's ability that she realized that her grandfather was really rich, and he was still very rich, very rich......

Of course, this is a later story, so I won't mention it for the time being.

The matter of the families of the fallen soldiers that Mu Yunlan decided to continue to fund caused an uproar in the imperial capital. Many people who thought she had acted too aggressively shut up one after another.

Many people who received funding stood up and expressed their gratitude to Mu Yunlan. It's just that the gate of the Guogong Mansion is noble, and they didn't have the opportunity to see Mu Yunlan in person, so they came to the gate of the Weiguo Mansion, kowtowed to the gate twice, and solemnly thanked them before leaving.

Some people with good deeds set up a table in a teahouse not far away to record how many people came to express their gratitude.

For a time, the good deeds of General Fuyuan and Mu Yunlan spread all over the streets and alleys of the imperial capital.

Emperor Yue Jingyun originally disagreed with this matter, but before the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, many imperial histories wrote one after another, asking for Mu Zhengmin to be commended, and many military generals even highly respected Mu Zhengmin's actions, and even raised this matter to the height of the army, the people, and the stability of the family and country.

On the day of the Shangyuan Festival, Yue Jingyun issued an edict to posthumously crown Mu Zhengmin as the loyal and brave general of Fuyuan, and Mu Yunlan was given a large number of rewards. The emperor has said that Concubine Jin, Mu Yunlan's future mother-in-law, naturally can't turn a blind eye.

When the eldest lady saw the team carrying a large number of rewards sent into Chunning Garden, she was so hated that she almost vomited a mouthful of blood.
