Chapter 121: Hoarding

Hearing this, one of the two people in the room suddenly couldn't cry or laugh, and the other couldn't bear it.

Qi Xuan originally wanted to take this plate of dim sum to honor her mother-in-law, but Jiaoguanfeng shouted in such a voice, she thought about it and simply did this favor, so she smiled and handed the plate to Zhilan and said, "Oh, take it to your brother Feng." ”

Where was Zhilan willing to take it, she only said angrily: "Why is my sister also coaxing with that kid!" So saying, he took a rolling pin from the desk and walked out of the kitchen, waiting for the bad boy.

The master's Guanfeng pulled Zhan Shaofeng all the way over, and when he turned the corner, he saw a female door god holding a rolling pin, sharpening her knife and glaring at him. "Oops!" Guan Feng stuck out his tongue lightly, pulled up his feet, and disappeared with a smoke.

"This kid has made a lot of progress in his light work...... What did you teach? Unable to find her brother, Zhilan turned to glare at Zhan Shaofeng and asked.

"He's good at light work, but I'm just giving a few pointers." Seeing that Zhilan's face turned red from anger, Zhan Shaofeng suddenly felt much lighter.

At this time, Zhilan suddenly remembered what Qi Xuan said, so she asked again, "Are you ...... today?" Is it to see that Liu Muzhi? ”

Zhan Shaofeng didn't seem to want to mention this matter more, so he only said "um" lightly.

Zhilan wanted to ask again, but when she saw that Zhan Shaofeng had regained that iceberg face, she was a little unhappy in her heart, so she said again: "Sister Xuan's side still needs me to help, if there is nothing to do, you can go back." ”

"Where's my plum cake?" Zhan Shaofeng asked suddenly.

Zhilan glanced at him with some surprise and said, "Aren't you a sweet-toothed?" ”

"I'll eat what Miss makes."

Zhilan opened her mouth and wanted to say that the pastry was not made for him, but somehow, she said to him, "You wait." Then he hurried back to the kitchen and brought out a plate of plum cakes.

Poor Qi Xuan was empty-handed, so she had to whisper to the cook: "Let's make another one tomorrow." I can do more next time......"

At this time, in the Cuiwei Courtyard of Liufu, a maid was leaning against the window and napping. The master is not there, and she happens to be lazy for a while. When the little maid was dreaming of a beautiful boy smiling at her, she felt someone enter the house in a daze, and then she heard someone ask loudly, "What about you girls?" ”

As soon as she heard the voice of a man, the little maid woke up in fright, and when she opened her eyes, it turned out to be the master. She hurriedly got up and said, "Master, you're here!" Our girl was not there, she went to the scarlet girl's house to talk. ”

"Oh?" Liu Mu was stunned. These women in his house are doing well in private.

Then the maid said, "Sit here and wait, and the slave will make you a cup of tea, and then call for someone to call the girl back." She said and went to pour her tea.

"No need!" Liu Muzhi waved his hand and said, "It just so happens that I haven't been there for a long time, so it's good to go and have a look." With that, he shook his fan and got up and left. Who made him feel good today!

Liu Muyi was walking towards Scarlet's courtyard while thinking about today's events, and the more he thought about it, the more relieved he felt. Since spending the past two years with the Zhan family, he has rarely been as happy as he is today.

In March this year, the Miao people in southern Xinjiang rebelled, and the imperial court immediately sent troops south. I thought they were just ignorant people, and quelling the rebellion was a matter of one battle. I don't want to be sick and humid in southern Xinjiang, and the poisonous miasma is everywhere, and the tens of thousands of elite soldiers sent by the imperial court have been infected with the miasma epidemic as soon as they go, and they fell seven or eight out of ten before they could fight, let alone counterinsurgency.

Next, it is inevitable to continue to send troops to southern Xinjiang, but this time we must ensure that a large number of medicinal materials can be in place, otherwise we will still be defeated without a fight. According to the practice of previous years, this matter of purchasing and transporting medicinal materials will naturally fall to his Liu family. Who knew that Dong Mingguang of the household department didn't know what crazy he was going to this year, so he handed over this errand to the stinky kid of the Zhan family! He couldn't swallow this breath anyway. Not to mention that the Zhan family has been constrained everywhere in Jiangnan in the past few years, and now they have stretched out their hands to the capital to ask for the emperor's errand, which is simply eating the bear's heart and leopard's gall.

This time, he's going to have to find a way to get it out of the way anyway. Otherwise, with this fat difference, the Zhan family will really be dominant. And the Liu family is really going to be defeated by his Liu Muzhi.

Dong Mingguang's side is naturally not accommodating, after his daughter was sent to the palace, she was originally favored by the emperor, but when she saw that she was about to soar, she was stabbed out of the scandal of the previous accident. This Dong nobleman was ruined all of a sudden, was thrown into the cold palace, and never saw the light of day. The one who poked out the news was naturally Liu Muzhi's sister Concubine Chen. Then Dong Mingguang hated him too late, how could he help him in this matter? As for my sister, I was always sad and weeping about my nephew's poisoning, so how could I take care of it.

So Liu Muzhi decided to strike first, and sent people to the medicinal herb stores in various places, according to the prescription for the treatment of miasma, and took the lead in purchasing a large number of high-quality medicinal materials, and the rest was either inferior or too small. If Zhan Shaofeng wanted to take over this errand and deliver the medicinal materials before the miasma was at its best in May and June, he could only buy the medicine from his Liu Muzhi.

Sure enough, as soon as he saw it today, the kid made a bid to buy these medicinal herbs. But now that the goods are in his hands with Liu Muzhi, the price naturally has to be determined by his will. The price he asked for today was twenty times higher, and if it were normal, even an idiot with a brain in water would not accept such a domineering price. But the matter of transporting medicine is imminent, and Zhan Shaofeng has to agree if he doesn't agree. Otherwise, if he misses a major event in the army, he won't want to keep his head.

Liu Muzhi easily earned a gold mountain for the Zhan family with this change of hands, how could he not be comfortable in his heart? He thought as he walked, and before he knew it, he arrived at the courtyard where Fei'er lived. Before he could enter, he saw a woman in a green shirt walking out of the house with an empty tray. He looked at it fixedly, and it turned out to be the maid named Mei'er next to Scarlet. I had never paid attention to this inconspicuous girl before, but I haven't seen her for many days, and she has grown into a delicate person with a soft heart and weak bones.

Seeing that the old man was coming, the elder hurriedly took the tray and saluted him and said, "Master, you are here!" ”

As soon as Liu Muzhi was interested, even the voice of the eyebrows was like a yellow warbler, and he was crispy and numb when he heard it. I saw him close the fan and walk forward, hold up the chin of the eyebrows with the handle of the fan, squint his eyes and said, "I haven't seen you for many days, have you practiced light skills?" How can you walk so lightly and without a sound at all? ”

Mei'er was suddenly horrified in her heart.
