Chapter 255: This is clearly a transaction
"......" Mu Chonglan was silent, but what she thought in her heart was completely different from Su Chengmo, what she thought was...... He is really too poor, otherwise how could Mo'er feel that she can't even afford more ginseng?
Mu Chonglan cried in her heart, and she was also aggrieved on the surface.
Although Su Chengmo saw it, he couldn't think of a reason, so he fed Mu Chonglan a plate of steamed buns, and turned around to find Yan Xingsheng.
Although the person in charge of the key to the warehouse is Mu Chonglan, the ginseng is actually Xiao Xiantang's, she thinks it is better to say hello to Xiao Xiantang's side, not to mention that Mu Chonglan's side has just broken through the bottleneck, and the precious medicinal materials that need to be measured next are nourished, not just one ginseng is enough.
Although Mu Chonglan's Zuixiao Tower and Jue Se Fang are in full swing, they are also very burdened, and there is really not much left after the expenses of those disaster victims, if it weren't for the fact that these people have almost all come into contact with the business of Zuixiao Lou or Jue Se Fang, she wants to persuade Mu Chonglan to collect some silver, put everyone back to their hometown, and let them fend for themselves.
Su Chengmo went to Yan Xingsheng to discuss, and here Mu Chonglan went to the martial arts training ground with a plate of steamed buns and a pot of new wine.
It is said to be a martial arts training ground, but in fact, it is a relatively hidden open space in the bamboo forest.
Mu Chonglan's martial arts, the people in the Xiao Mansion actually know more or less, but the people outside don't know, so Xiao Xiantang can't really open up a martial arts training ground for Mu Chonglan, and he can't allow Mu Chonglan to go to the public martial arts training ground in the mansion, so as not to cause extraneous complications.
Mu Chonglan didn't feel that there was anything inappropriate, she walked to the open space, came to the place where she practiced swords at the beginning, and found that the bamboo that was originally engraved with sword moves had been destroyed, and she was a little depressed.
Su Chengmo thought that Mu Chonglan was practicing swords, and what he practiced was the sword score that Xiao Xiantang brought to her from the outside, but in fact, what Mu Chonglan was practicing was not.
Because Xiao Xiantang is different from Mu Chonglan, Xiao Xiantang is very smart and can understand everything at a glance, so even the sword spectrum that seems to him to be very simple and easy to understand is like a book from heaven in Mu Chonglan's eyes.
After practicing according to the sword score he gave her for many days, Mu Chonglan couldn't make any progress at all, so she threw it aside and began to slash blindly, and because of this, she accidentally found that someone had carved a sword move on the bamboo.
In fact, sword moves only have pictures, no words, but are more difficult to practice than those with text descriptions, because you have to understand.
But Mu Chonglan is different from ordinary people, because of her serious illness at a young age, her brain is much simpler than ordinary people, and she has no distracting state of mind, so it is naturally easier to understand obscure exercises, so this set of sword moves, which is very complicated in the eyes of others, seems to her to be an entry-level level.
Generally speaking, when she sees the swordsmanship engraved on the bamboo, she will be suspicious, and Mu Chonglan is not completely suspicious, but she thinks that this is the Xiao Mansion, and subconsciously feels that she will not encounter any danger here, and seeing that the swordsmanship is really simple, she will practice it a few times at will.
Later, every day there will be new bamboos carved with sword moves, and the original bamboo will also be destroyed, Mu Chonglan tried to squat on the other side, but found nothing.
I also tried to leave a letter to the other party, hoping to meet each other, but I ended up holding my sword and leaning on the bamboo until sunset, and I never waited for the other party.
So over time, Mu Chonglan also understood the other party's attitude, so she stopped thinking about it, and brought up the wine she brewed every day as a reward, and the other party seemed to like this kind of reward very much, and would not take anything else she left, but would always take away the wine she brought every day.
At sunset, Mu Chonglan rushed back to the front yard, intending to have dinner with Xiao Xiantang, but was told that Xiao Xiantang was summoned into the palace by a secret order.
When Mu Chonglan heard this, he was stunned for a while: "Do you know what is going on?" ”
"If you know, it's not a secret edict." Yan Shoucai's face was calm, his eyes were full of worry, but he had no intention of continuing to talk to Mu Chonglan.
Yan Xingsheng stood behind Yan Shoucai, with a feeling of being overwhelmed and not daring to breathe, he glanced at Mu Chonglan, as if he wanted to say something.
Mu Chonglan noticed this, so after saying a few words to Yan Shoucai, he sweated all over his sword practice and left on the grounds that he needed to purify himself.
Yan Xingsheng also found an opportunity and quietly followed, and as soon as the two met, Yan Xingsheng told what he knew.
It turned out that Xiao Xiantang performed very well in disaster relief this time, but unfortunately he was born to buy an official position, and if he was promoted too quickly, he would inevitably fall into the mouths of others, so on the surface, Emperor Sheng only gave Xiao Xiantang a small official position from the fifth grade, but he actually planned to reuse Xiao Xiantang.
"Your young master is not a thing in the pool, so it's not surprising." Mu Chonglan twisted his eyebrows and said, secretly thinking that this is the same as his previous life, or is it different? Is it because I didn't know much about Mixin in my previous life, or because of something, things have changed?
"Reuse, by the way, do you know what it means to reuse? If Emperor Sheng wants to reuse your young master, how will he treat your young master? Mu Chonglan looked at Yan Xingsheng, although she was not very smart, she could also see that the expressions of the Yan father and son were not like happy for Xiao Xiantang's promotion, but more worried.
Therefore, thinking with his toes, he also knew that Xiao Xiantang was reused this time, and it would definitely not be as simple as simply gaining divine grace.
"The inside information is that Emperor Sheng plans to let the young master enter the cabinet as soon as possible and become a cabinet member."
"Be a spy?"
"It's fair to say, but it's also inaccurate." Yan Xingsheng sighed and continued: "Emperor Sheng spies on his courtiers, saying that it is a bit too much of a spy, but it is better to say that it is a chess piece hidden in the cabinet. ”
"......" Mu Chonglan was silent, in her previous life, she often heard people say that Xiao Xiantang's career was too smooth, as if as long as he wanted to, someone would vacate a place for him, so that he could go all the way.
At that time, although she also felt that Xiao Xiantang's career was very smooth, she never thought about the source, and when she heard the meaning of Yan Xingsheng's words again, Mu Chonglan suddenly understood a little, and understood why Xiao Xiantang's career was so smooth, because it was arranged by Emperor Sheng.
Emperor Sheng arranged for Xiao Xiantang to enter the cabinet and be his own eyes, but this eye could not be too weak, so he openly and secretly supported Xiao Xiantang and gave Xiao Xiantang enough bargaining chips, and Xiao Xiantang penetrated into the power of those stubborn old ministers, and finally uprooted those stubborn old ministers one by one, so that Emperor Sheng could sit back and relax.
It's clearly a deal.
Thinking about it, in his previous life, Xiao Xiantang suffered a lot of fingers behind his back in order to do this, and there were always people who slandered him, saying that he relied on what he was to get to the top, Mu Chonglan felt very uncomfortable.
Even if she knew that Xiao Xiantang would stand in a high position one day, no one would dare to say that about him at that time, but knowing that someone like Yuehua was about to be pointed at with such dirty words, she had an urge to hide people carefully.
