91 [Second Watch] You are the mistress of the vassal king's mansion
said goodbye to the clan relatives one by one, and it was not until calm was restored in front of the vassal king's mansion that Xia Muyao breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, I can go back to my room and get some sleep.
Huerhe naturally understood Xia Muyao's careful thoughts, he accompanied her to the mansion, and when he saw her soul wandering outside, he couldn't help but joke: "You are so sleepy, at such a young age?" ”
"Or else?" Xia Muyao glanced at Huerhe, "By the way, your concubines asked me for a meeting gift, do you think I should give them something?" ”
"What do you want to give them?" Huerhe asked quietly.
"I didn't think about it, but they want me to give you to them." After finishing speaking, Xia Muyao glanced at Huerhe deeply.
Huerhe looked displeased, "Send me?" Can they afford it? ”
Xia Muyao was silent. After walking for a while, he suddenly remembered something, and asked, "Why do you have so many concubines, but you have never had an heir?" ”
"Our children naturally want you to be born." Huerhe replied indifferently.
When Xia Muyao heard this, she also confirmed what she thought in her heart, these concubines never came out because they took medicine. This is the same as the harem of Nanxia back then, after her father favored the concubine, if he hoped that the concubine would give birth to an heir for him, he would say a word, and if he didn't want to, he would say a word. Those concubines who got the word will be fed decoction by the palace people and will not be allowed to conceive.
It seems that she still needs to quietly ask these concubines for contraceptive decoction!
Seeing that Xia Muyao stopped talking, and looked at the front with a pair of eyes, Huerhe knew that her little head was full of thoughts again.
"What are you thinking?" Huerhe asked in a deep voice.
Xia Muyao naturally wouldn't answer him, she smiled at him, the smile on the corner of her mouth was a little mysterious.
"What do you want, whether it's money or goods, just tell the butler." Huerhe said again.
"Silver? You told me to go to the market? Hearing Huerhe say this, Xia Muyao was a little incredulous.
"Why not? If you want to go shopping, you are my princess, not my prisoner. Huerhe said.
Hey. Xia Muyao laughed twice, she originally thought that Huerhe would keep her in the vassal king's mansion, but he actually let her go shopping in the market, which was great.
When she was in the palace, she almost never visited the street market, and when she met Zhao Yuanting, she only visited the market a few times under the leadership of Zhao Yuanting. Later, she was imprisoned in Youfu'an, and never left the mountain again, and she was locked up for three years.
Now, she is free to go to the market. Thinking of this, Xia Muyao's eyes lit up, and then she ran, "I'm going to find the housekeeper, ask for silver, and then go to the market with Qiu Lian." ”
Seeing Xia Muyao happy as a flying swallow, Huerhe couldn't help but smile and shook his head, he couldn't understand Xia Muyao's happiness, a person with such an indifferent temperament would be happy to be like this just to go to the market.

Xia Muyao returned to Tengchong Courtyard, and asked Qiu Lian to go to the housekeeper to instruct her to take the silver, and Qiu Lian asked her how much she wanted? This made it difficult for her, she had no idea of silver, and she had grown so old that she never seemed to have used it to buy anything herself.
"A tael of silver?" Xia Muyao looked at Qiu Lian's face and said tentatively.
Huerhe, who came later, couldn't help but smile when he heard Xia Muyao's words, and he instructed Qiu Lian: "Let the housekeeper pass a thousand taels of silver from the account room to Tengchong Courtyard and put it, so that you can often go to the account room to pay in the future." ”
Qiu Lian listened and hurriedly bent down.
"You are now the master of the house, and you should be in charge of the use of these inner courtyards in the future, when you have nothing to do, you can ask the housekeeper more, learn, and I will hand over this house to you to take care of in the future." Huerhe turned his head and smiled at Yao'er.
Xia Muyao shook her head, she was most afraid of cumbersome things.
"Don't shake your head," Huerhe held Yao'er's little face and said softly: "You are the mistress of this mansion, and sooner or later you will be in charge." ”
"You're not afraid that I'll empty out all your mansion?" Xia Muyao rolled her eyes and asked.
"If you can really hollow it out, it's also your ability." Huerhe smiled indifferently, and then corrected: "Yao'er, this is our mansion, you must always remember that you and I are now one." ”
Xia Muyao nodded indifferently, and then asked Huerhe, "I'll go to the market in a while, do you have anything to buy?" ”
Huerhe naturally didn't have anything to buy, so he said to Yao'er: "You weigh it yourself, as long as you buy it for me, I like everything." ”
Xia Muyao thought about it in her heart, and naturally she didn't have a clue, so she thought about going to the market to see it again.
After a while, the housekeeper came to Tengchong Courtyard with a housekeeper, who held a box in his arms, and when he saw him, he curtsied and asked where to place the box.
Xia Muyao pointed to the bedroom and said to Qiu Lian, "Put it behind the screen in the bedroom." ”
Qiu Lian led the family to the bedroom.
Xia Muyao looked back at Huerhe, still a little disbelieving, and asked, "Then I took Qiu Lian there?" ”
"Go ahead." Huerhe smiled and said, "But you should first go and count the silver taels that have just been sent from the treasury, and then let the servants leave." ”
Xia Muyao was stunned, she didn't know how to do these things at all, so she reached out and grabbed Huerhe's arm, "You teach me how to count, I have never done this kind of thing." ”
Huerhe was naturally happy when he saw Yao'er asking him so actively, so he went into the bedroom with her.
After opening the box, Huerhe picked up the silver and copper coins in the box, ten taels, five taels, one tael, and one article, and taught them to Yao'er one by one.
When the count was finished, the housekeeper and the housekeeper withdrew.
"Qiu Lian, let's go to the market." Xia Muyao was a little impatient, bent down and took the silver from the box, put it in her sleeve pocket, and pulled Qiu Lian out of the bedroom.
He didn't even look back at Huerhe.
Huerhe was helpless, and slowly walked out of Tengchong Courtyard, and then stood in front of the gate of Tengchong Courtyard, watching Xia Muyao fly briskly along the steps to the door of the mansion. Huerhe's gaze was soft at first, then gradually cooled, and he said to himself: "Yao'er, don't let me down." ”

Xia Muyao got the silver and was excited. Last time she was kicked out of the palace by the old princess, she was penniless, she couldn't go to the post station, she couldn't make a car, and she had no coils to use.
Escaped back to Dakang, returned to Youfu Nunnery, and found Mrs. Jingning to make plans again.
Xia Muyao made this plan, she was in a very happy mood, and her steps were brisk, she asked Qiu Lian to guide her to the post station. Qiu Lian didn't know why, and while waiting for Xia Muyao to walk towards the post station, she asked, "Is the princess going to hand over the family letter home?" Leave it to the porter. ”
Xia Muyao didn't say anything, just walked briskly all the way, thinking in her heart, after arriving at the post station, I don't know if there can be a carriage to Dakang, and do you need to cross the city documents when you cross the border?
With a stomach problem, Xia Muyao arrived at the post station, and then took out a silver ingot from her sleeve pocket and gave it to Qiu Lian, "Go to the teahouse opposite to help me order a pot of flower tea, and I'll go over and drink it later." ”
Qiu Lian hesitated, and then walked to the teahouse opposite the post station.
Xia Muyao took the opportunity to enter the post station and asked the person in charge of the post station how to go to Dakang. Hearing that Xia Muyao didn't have a document to pass through the city, the man whispered to Xia Muyao: "Then you have to add silver." ”
Xia Muyao nodded.
The man said in a low voice: "Go to Dakang in the city, a total of twenty taels, pay ten taels first." ”
Xia Muyao thought about it and refused to pay the silver first, she took out a silver ingot from her sleeve pocket and shook it in front of the man, "I have the silver, and when I get to the destination, I will give it all to you." ”
The man thought for a moment and said, "Come here at noon, and then arrange for a carriage to take you across the city." ”
Xia Muyao nodded, "A word is a certainty." ”
When things were done, Xia Muyao left the post station, and as soon as she went out, someone touched her, and she was about to lose her temper, but the person hurriedly bent over to apologize: I'm sorry. As he spoke, the man shook Xia Muyao's hand, Xia Muyao was about to get angry, but he felt that a strip of cloth was stuffed in his hand.
Xia Muyao was stunned for a moment, and saw that the man still turned around and left.
"Princess, are you alright?" At this moment, Qiu Lian still came out of the teahouse opposite, and when she saw Xia Muyao being bumped into, she hurriedly trotted all the way over, not daring to shout loudly to expose Xia Muyao's identity, so she had to ask in a low voice.
"It doesn't matter." Xia Muyao hurriedly put the strip of cloth into her sleeve pocket, and then asked Qiu Lian, "Have you ordered tea?" ”
"Back to the princess, alright, you can go over and have tea now." Qiu Lian hurriedly whispered back.
Xia Muyao nodded, and then went to the teahouse with Qiu Lian.
