Chapter 9 Finding the Way
The royal family lived in a castle built high with neat stone bricks. The vermilion gate with two stone lions in the doorway, flanked by guards in armor.
Compared to ordinary nobles, the castle of the entire royal family is truly tall. The essence of the entire tribe is probably concentrated here.
Mu Qingwan and Hu Zhao passed in front of the royal city, and the guards guarding the gate glanced at them contemptuously, as if they were accustomed to this kind of small people who "looked up" at the royal family.
didn't stay, Mu Qingwan and Hu Zhao left directly, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, this time the two avoided Ah Shu and came out alone.
"Miss, this is it."
The two of them came to a house that looked neat and spacious. It was the residence of the maiden family of one of the king's favorite concubines, whose father was an elder of a noble tribe.
It is said that the concubine whom the king loved very much was called Madame Ru, who gave birth to two sons and a daughter to the king, and her position was stable, second only to the queen. The queen gave birth to two sons for the king, but unfortunately neither of them survived to adulthood and died young. And Madame Ru's eldest son is the third son of the king, and he is a strong contender for the heir to the throne.
As for the mother of the little princess, it was another concubine favored by the king, Mrs. Yang, and Wang Lao came to have a son, as the youngest child of the king, the youngest brother or sister above the little princess was a few years older than her, so the little princess was loved by the king. In addition, the little princess is very good at things on weekdays, and the king is also willing to spoil this daughter. Mrs. Yang comes from another big family, and in addition to the little princess, she also has a son. was praised by the little princess intentionally or unintentionally, and this son also had a lot of goodwill in front of the king.
There are not a few women in the king, basically from the various nobles of the tribe, there is a strong maternal family behind them, and there are many concubines with sons, and the competition for the heir to the throne is very fierce.
Mrs. Ru's maiden family is also low-key, and she is not proud of Mrs. Ru's favor. As one of several major families, in order to support Mrs. Ru's eldest son to ascend to the throne, he is also secretly recruiting talents. In order to recruit talents, the major families have their own means, and many of the lower families are willing to send their capable children to drive the family family, so as to put their thighs on the thighs, and then get a piece of porridge in the end to enhance the status of their families.
The purpose of Mu Qingwan's trip is to be like Mrs. Madame's maiden family.
Mu Qingwan wanted to enter the palace to find out, and wanted to pretend to be a palace maid and guard, which was not very feasible at all. What's more, even if you go in, it will be difficult to bring Mu Yan out of the tribe. There is no other way but to follow the path of the family.
If Mrs. Ru and Mrs. Yang are not on harmony, in the final analysis, it also lies in the succession to the throne. Starting from this aspect, if Mu Qingwan can help Mrs. Ru, then it will be much easier to bring Mu Yan out smoothly in the future.
"This little brother, we are the children of the Li family, the kid is not talented, and he also has a skill, I want to meet the steward, and I am tired of reporting it."
Ah Shu's surname is Li, and the forged identity certificates for Mu Qingwan and Hu Zhao are also the marks of the Li family's children. Here, the management of identity and household registration is not as strict as outside, it is basically divided into regions, and the population management is recorded by the family, so it is very easy to cheat. As for the unified filing of the government, these do not exist. There is no government here, and it is basically a family management, and many systems are not complete.
"The Li family? Give me the identification, and I'll go and tell you. β
The guards guarding the door took the identity certificates of Mu Qingwan and Hu Zhao, and went directly to the court, probably the children of the small family who wanted to take advantage of such an opportunity to make a difference are not uncommon, and the guards guarding the door are also accustomed to it, and their attitude is very good, but it is just business.
After a while, a little guy came out and took Mu Qingwan and Hu Zhao into the door.
The layout of the yard is much cleaner and tidy, full of flowers and plants, and many places have been trimmed, which looks much more "gorgeous".
Mu Qingwan and Hu Zhao were led to a large courtyard.
"The butler is inside, please come in."
Generally, people who enter the house will be seen by the housekeeper first, and they have no real talent to learn, but they just take a shortcut with a fluke mentality, and they will be directly invited out of the house. Those who are generally talented are arranged to live in the courtyard, and those who are outstanding are introduced to the head of the family.
In view of the backwardness of the entire tribe, Mu Qingwan and Hu Zhao were directly introduced to the head of the family just for a small test.
"You are Li Zhao and Li Qing? The elder brother is good at martial arts, the younger brother is good at writing, and he is a very talented person as the housekeeper said. β
The head of the Li family looked Mu Qingwan and Hu Zhao up and down, and the people who could be recommended to the head of the family by the housekeeper were all more prominent people. The head of the Li family saw Mu Qingwan and Hu Zhao, although they were wearing coarse linen clothes, their appearance and temperament were extraordinary, and they were by no means idle.
"The kid is not talented, he knows some skills, and he wants to try his luck with the second brother in Wangcheng."
Li Zhao and Li Qing are pseudonyms of Hu Zhao and Mu Qingwan.
"Everyone who comes to me has their own purpose, say, what do you want?"
These two people don't seem to be idle people, and the head of the family doesn't want to miss out on talents, so he talks about the conditions straight to the point.
"The kid does come to you for something, but it's hard to say, it's easy to say."
"Oh? Let's hear it. β
"I heard that the little princess rescued a man a few days ago, but that man is my little brother. My brother went out to play, but he didn't expect an accident. My brother's outstanding appearance has therefore fallen into the eyes of nobles, but unfortunately it is not a good thing for us. My brothers are willing to give advice to the head of the family and do their best, only hoping to let the younger brother return home as soon as possible. β
Hu Zhao shook his head at the Li family. There is not much to hide about his own purposes. If Mrs. and Mrs. Yang are on the same page, Mu Qingwan and Hu Zhao will make this trip, and it is also expected, even if the head of the Li family does not agree to the request of the two, do not disclose the matter to the Yang family.
"It's really difficult, but it's not impossible, you can live in peace for the time being."
The head of the Li family looked at the two of them deeply and said in a half-loud voice.
"Thank you for your help, my brothers will do their best to serve the master."
......
After negotiating with the head of the house, Mu Qingwan and Hu Zhao followed the housekeeper and lived in the arranged courtyard.
A special place was opened in the house, and rows of houses were built for the strategists to live in.
Along the way, you can often see men dancing with guns and sticks, or reciting poems and composing, or playing the piano and chess. Everyone didn't care about the housekeeper bringing in a new person. It's just that when they saw the butler lead people into one of the best rooms, most of the people's faces became wonderful.
When Mu Qingwan and Hu Zhao entered the courtyard, many people quietly looked over here and whispered in private. The people who come here to make a living are basically the children of the disadvantaged families below, who want to use the power of the big family to improve their own family or their own status. Originally, there were more people and less porridge, and once there was a stronger opponent, their own benefits would inevitably be affected.
