Xiaocao thought of something, and said as if a promise, "Sister, don't worry, I will definitely not hold back, I will guard this side of Los Angeles, so that you can rest assured in the capital." ”

"Good boy, sister believes in you." Rose lowered her head and blew on the hot tea to hide the wetness in her eyes.

Mu Jiu poured a cup of tea for Xiaocao, "Good boy, I also believe in you." ”

Xiaocao looked up at Mu Jiu, her dark eyes were full of surprise, she didn't have the innocence that a seven-year-old child should have, but she was a little more resolute.

Two days later, Mu Jiu officially came to the capital.

Finally back!

Standing in front of the south gate of the capital, looking at the towering city gate, Mu Jiu's heart couldn't calm down for a long time.

Two years have passed, and there is still no news from Grandpa, and he may have been more than lucky.

But as long as she didn't see anyone for a day, Mu Jiu still believed that her grandfather would wait for her to rescue her in a corner.

"Let's go." Lin Changsheng took Mu Jiu's hand and walked forward.

Originally, he wanted to hug Mu Jiu's waist and move forward, but this is the capital! At the feet of the Son of Heaven, the rules were cumbersome, and if they were found by the patrolling defenders, they would be arrested and paraded through the streets on charges of immorality.

In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Lin Changsheng restrained a lot.

"Hmm." The excitement in Mu Jiu's eyes looked similar to that of ordinary residents entering the city.

As before, Lin Changsheng arranged the yard in advance.

The housekeeper is still the Limber family.

They were originally in charge of this courtyard in the capital, but because Mu Jiu was going to stay in Los Angeles for a while, Lin Changsheng trusted them the most here, so he transferred them to Los Angeles.

Lin Changsheng's courtyard in the capital is not bad, it is a fairly lively street when he goes out, and two streets past it is the central axis of the capital, and almost all the dignitaries live on that road.

Because no one dares to shout and shout in front of the dignitaries, the most lively and prosperous in the capital are the two streets on both sides of the central axis, Fanhua Street and Rujin Street.

There was a one-day round trip between the capital and Los Angeles, and when Mu Jiu arrived at the courtyard, it was exactly noon.

Lin Changsheng asked Lin Bo to buy two pairs of lanterns and come back, and wrote the word Lin Fu very seriously and hung it on the lintel of the gate.

The courtyard is similar to the courtyard where Mu Jiu used to live, a three-entry courtyard, Mu Jiu lives in the innermost one, Rose and Cinnamon and others live in the middle one, and Lin Bo's family and a group of people from the gatehouse live in the front one.

After settling down, Mu Jiu was not in a hurry to find a shop that could open a restaurant, but took roses to play in the capital for a few days, and became familiar with the alleys of the capital, large and small, before starting to select shops suitable for restaurants.

In the capital, every inch of land is expensive, and the supply exceeds demand, it is not easy to find a place where you can open a restaurant, let alone screening, Mu Jiu only has two places to choose.

One is a three-storey building two streets away from Fanhua Street, with a small area and a price of 100,000 taels of silver.

One is a three-story building from the three streets of Rujin Street, which is twice as large as the building on the two streets, and the price is still 100,000 yuan.

The same is 100,000, one area is large, and one lot is better.

Mu Jiu only hesitated for a moment before choosing the latter.

If they are famous, those officials and wives who have nothing to do all day will not stop coming because they are walking one more street, anyway, they have sedan chairs.

If there were no two brushes, even if the shop was opened on the two streets of Fanhua or Xiangjin, those official wives and young ladies would not stop.

With a large place, there is a lot of room to maneuver.

The most important thing is that the yard where she lives is on this side of Rujin Street.

The design of Luocheng was painted by Lin Changsheng, but after coming to the capital, Mu Jiu found that Lin Changsheng often didn't see people, and often woke up that Lin Changsheng was no longer around, and he hadn't come back when he slept.

Mu Jiu was very concerned about where Lin Changsheng went, but Lin Changsheng didn't say it, she wouldn't ask, Lin Changsheng didn't say that he had a reason not to say it, she just had to remember that Lin Changsheng wouldn't harm her.

Rose discussed the transaction with the original landlord for three days, and Mu Jiu temporarily shifted his attention to other things.

Before coming, she asked Hong Seventeen for something, the weather was good, and she took roses to a ruined temple two kilometers outside the city.

……

A courtyard under the Three Princes.

In the main house, the fragrance of tea is thick, and the air is filled with a strong fragrance of flowers.

A gorgeously dressed woman sat crookedly in the main seat, the tassels on her bun clanged down on her forehead, and under the delicate makeup, her eyes were extraordinarily bewitching, as well as evil.

There were four maids standing beside her, waiting carefully, and not far away, there was a middle-aged woman who looked very haggard.

If Mu Jiu was there, he would definitely be able to recognize that the woman with exquisite makeup was Mu Liufu, the head of the maid was vanilla, and the first one was Ji Kun's original wife Ji Yue.

Why does Mu Liufu sit in the first place, and Ji Yue's can only be a foil?

It turned out that Mu Liufu and others left Qizhou under Ji Kun's arrangement at that time, and failed to reach the capital smoothly, because Mu Liufu was pregnant, and the merchants who helped Mu Liufu and others leave Qizhou were only willing to take them out of Qizhou City, and did not agree to go on the road together.

Mu Liufu, who was inconvenient to be pregnant, stopped and stopped on the road, and was stunned for five months before arriving in the capital.

When they arrived in the capital, the Ji family had been destroyed, and Mu Liufu and the others only had the silver that Ji Kun had saved for her.

Ji Kun was worried that Ji Yue's family would abuse Mu Liufu and his unborn child, so he gave most of the money to Mu Liufu to hide, and along the way, Mu Liufu's food and clothing were spent from Ji Yue's family, and when he arrived in the capital, Ji Yue's family had little left, but Mu Liufu still had a lot of silver left.

has no relatives in the capital, naturally whoever has the silver has the right to speak, and the Ji Yue clan has lost the ability to hold power.

Mu Liufu didn't have a lot of worries like Ji Yue's family, and he was bold enough to find out where the three princes often went in and out, and stopped the three princes with a big belly, explaining the matter of the Ji family, and the three princes were afraid of chilling the hearts of other staff, so they reluctantly arranged a small courtyard for Mu Liufu and others.

Since then, Mu Liufu has more say in the Ji family, not only asked the eldest son back, but also gave birth to a younger son, a housewife who has no son by his side, a concubine with two sons to rely on, one has no money, and the other has money to support all their expenses, and the people they brought out naturally stand on Mu Liufu's side.

Her husband is dead, Mu Liufu is still young and unwilling to be lonely, and he caught up with a staff member behind the three princes, from occasionally touching the things of the three princes, to later, he simply showed up to help the three princes and the staff do things that their identities are inconvenient to do.

Every time he saw Ji Yue's lower eyebrows and sitting at the top of her with his eyes down, Mu Liufu felt a sense of satisfaction. Thinking that she just joined the Ji family, it was also like this, and now their identities have taken a 180-degree turn, it's cool to think about it.

Thinking that she used to be a peasant girl in Mujia Village who didn't know much about writing, and now she has become the right-hand man of the third prince, Mu Liufu feels very proud.

"My sister is optimistic about the family, I'll go out."

The people of the third prince wrote that Mu Jiu and his wife appeared in the capital, as old rivals, how could she let go of such a good opportunity?

Let the people below prepare the sedan chair, and Mu Liufu went to Yanfu.

Yes, Yan Shisong's son Yan Yudong's family.

But Mu Liufu didn't dare to show the signboard of the three princes easily, Yan Yudong's wife Yan Dong was unwilling to make friends with people who had no identity, Mu Liufu ate a closed door, and hit Yan Shuiqing with his idea.

Mrs. Yan unfortunately died on the way to the capital, and only Yan Shuiqing and Yan Shiliang's daughter Yan Shuiru came to the capital.

Yan Yudong intended to use Yan Shuiqing to make friends with powerful people, and explained that Yan Dong's family must buy Yan Shuiqing's heart well, so that she would think about the good of her mother's family, and Yan Shuiqing would take care of her mother's family when she got married in the future.

Yan Dong's remembered her husband's words, and tried her best to meet Yan Shuiqing's requirements, so Yan Shuiqing still likes to go shopping as in the past, and when she encounters something she likes, as long as Yan Yudong can afford it, she will buy it at home.

Mu Liufu failed to enter Yan's mansion, so he chased him to Fanhua Street, met Yan Shuiqing in a jewelry store, and showed his identity.

In Qizhou, Yan Shuiqing is the daughter of a high-ranking prefect, how could he make a concubine with a merchant and don't know Mu Liufu at all.

However, after arriving in the capital, she suffered many losses, and she slowly learned to be obedient, no longer arrogant, but learned to judge the situation, and looked at Mu Liufu with a smile, "What's the matter with Miss Mu?" ”

"Shall we take a step to speak?" Mu Liufu looked at a teahouse not far from the store.

The most prosperous street in the Great Xia Kingdom, the decoration of the teahouse is very luxurious, and the consumption is not low.

Mu Liufu couldn't help but sigh, thinking that at the beginning, even if she married Ji Kun, she didn't have the money to enter such a good teahouse, and every time she helped the mysterious person pass on information, the teahouse she went to was just average.

Nowadays, she can consume at will in such a teahouse, and she can become a master in this prosperous capital, looking back on the past days, her family feels that the more than ten years spent in Mujia Village are not people's lives.

asked for an Accord, Mu Liufu asked the attendants to go down, leaving only vanilla, and at the same time glanced at Yan Shuiqing's maid meaningfully.

Yan Shuiqing said nonchalantly, "She is my person, and she knows everything about me." ”

The daughter of a big family will bring a maid who will help her do everything, and Mu Liufu himself also left vanilla, so he didn't say much, but went straight to the point, "Mu Jiu came to the capital." ”

Mu Liufu was very satisfied that he saw the hatred in Yan Shuiqing's eyes, and said, "I heard that she is going to open a restaurant in the capital." ”

Yan Shuiqing pretended not to understand, "What do you mean by these words?" ”

"What can I mean by what Miss Yan said? Your father died at the hands of Mu Jiu, and my husband also died at the hands of Mu Jiu, and we have a common enemy. ”

When he came to the capital, Mu Liufu's scheming was much deeper than before, and even his speaking skills were much better than before.
