Chapter 47: The Gift

Yu Jin shook her head and said, "Not at the moment, I don't know what house I want to build yet." Xinu, you wear men's clothes and go out a lot, go to Xiang Dali and go out with you to see the geographical location of these lands. He is more familiar with the situation in the city, go to see what is going on with these vacant land, whether the land has an owner, who does it belong to, if you pay for the purchase price, is there any dispute and a way out? “

Xi Nu promised and was about to change his clothes, Yu Jin looked up and saw that the sun was poisoning, and hurriedly waved his hand to stop Xi Nu's actions, "Wait, don't go today, it's not too late to go early tomorrow morning to see it, let's sort out the things left by the master first!" “

Yu Yao and Yu Zhuo found Bai Zhao and Ah Xiu, and the handover was completed quickly, because there were only two hours in the morning for external sales, and Zhuo was in charge of the shopkeeper outside, and the inside had just opened, and the accounts were very simple.

Bai Zhao and Ah Xiu happily returned to Zizhuyuan. Yu Jin instructed Ah Xiu, "You go to Mother Cao, and let Mother Cao accompany you to find the second son of Tang." The hypermarket has been stocking up and going to buy a few plain cloths to help me cut my clothes. The second brother had just passed away nominally, and I couldn't go out in bright clothes, in case I went to the palace banquet without proper clothing. “

"Madame's costume do you need to prepare?"

"If I can go to the palace banquet, it must be my mother's fate, and she will have the dress of Mrs. Fate. She has not been sealed for a long time, it should be the emperor and the queen who are pressing and wanting to slow down. After all, my father was separated because of my mother's insistence, and it was a loss of filial piety, and it was easy to be criticized for giving a reward too early, so the emperor and the queen didn't mention the matter of my mother's wife, so we don't have to worry about her clothes. “

"I'll go with Xinu, and the big housekeeper of Xi will take care of the young lady's silver, so I won't have to come back to pay the bill." Ah Xiu's eyes rolled, and she grabbed Xi Nu's arm and begged.

Yu Jin nodded in response, "Go ahead!" It's enough for you to go out in a gauze hat and expose the brook slave himself. Continuing to pack up and sort out the materials in the box, Xinu and Ah Xiu changed their clothes and went out.

Ah Zhao sighed, "Alas, the hypermarket doesn't know when it will open, our dim sum shop can only open for two hours now, if the teahouse and hypermarket open, our dim sum shop can make more dim sum." “

"Miss is not in a hurry, what are you in a hurry, it's not that Chu makes it strange to live in the inn. The emperor was afraid that the ministers and guests would come here to approach the Chu envoy and leak information, so he did not allow the opening to open, and it would open as soon as the Chu envoy left. Haven't we been stocking up, and you're still worried that things won't sell. “

"Aren't I worried about Miss, Miss is short of silver."

Yu Jin was concentrating on sorting out the written materials left by her master, when her ears suddenly moved, and she quickly grabbed a sword and floated out of the door. Bai Zhao and Leng Hui both grabbed daggers on the side and came out through the window, and the three of them surrounded the two black-clothed people in three directions, the black-clothed people were startled, and one of them hurriedly said, "Miss, I'm Zhu San."

Yu Jin stared at the two of them, and said lightly: "I know, otherwise I wouldn't have stopped and waited for you to speak, how can you lead someone into the backyard."

Zhu Sanxing: "Miss, I have something important."

"Come into the house and talk!"

"I have been assigned by the general to bring you the confession of the man you captured four years ago, as well as the information left by the traitor. This is Zhu Wu, the two of us were given to Miss by the general, this is our information. “

Leng Hui took the information alertly, flipped through it and handed it to Yujin. Yu Jin couldn't help but raise her eyebrows when she saw the information, "You are all descendants of soldiers, and your fathers are all officers." Zhu Wu's father has been serving in the army and just retired, why did he choose to be a secret guard. “

Zhu Wuyi smiled and showed two tiger teeth, looking like a childish teenager, the information shows that his real name is Huawu, and he is already twenty years old, "We are scouts trained in the army since childhood, spying on enemy intelligence, and no one knows our true identity except for the commander." The major general was in distress at the border pass, and the third brother was first sent back to secretly protect the major general. “

"You were bewitched by Zhu San, why are you willing to come to Yue's Mansion to be a secret guard?"

Hua Wu smiled and nodded yes, "Yes, Miss's heart is bright." It was the third brother who instigated me to plead with the marshal to come and follow the young lady, my father retired, the marshal returned to the capital, and I, the scout in the army, had nothing to do, he said that he had a job here in the young lady, so I came. “

Zhu San's real name is Gong Sanran, twenty-two years old, and he is a bearded man. According to the information, his father died of injuries a long time ago, and his mother also followed his father when he was six years old, and his family property was taken away by the clan and became an orphan, and he was brought up in the army by General Zhu.

"Gong Guard, Painting Guard, you can restore your true appearance, I don't need a secret guard here, wait until Yan Yi and Yan Qi come back, let them teach you the disguise technique, and you don't need to hide from now on."

"Yes." The two of them had a smile on their faces.

Gong Sanran suddenly opened his mouth and asked: "Miss, I have a proposal, the head of the guard around Gongsun Charming is very powerful, I was almost caught by him, during the time he lives in the capital, can I and Huawu live on the rockery to guard."

Yu Jin likes smart and brainy people, Gong Sanran wants to live on the rockery to enjoy the cool on the hot day, but he finds an excuse to protect the safety of the house. Yu Jin didn't break his careful thoughts, and asked lightly: "You did the haunting in the post house?"

Gong Sanran replied immediately: "Yes, I was appointed by the major general to go in to find out the secret of the murder of the young man of Changqing, and as soon as I entered, he found out that I escaped by using a poisonous smoke bomb, and I didn't succeed in three times."

Leng Hui said with a smile on the side: "It seems that Prince Lan suspects that it is the secret guard killed by the young general, and he is not suspicious of it casually."

Gong Sanran smiled and praised: "I admire Miss, you can kill three secret guards and kidnap two without being discovered, it's really amazing." As soon as I said Huawu, I immediately came to follow Miss. “

Yu Jin's face sank, "Don't pat yourself on the back, if you are willing to stay on the rockery to guard, just stay on it!" I wish the general whether he has arrived home. “

Huawu hurriedly replied: "It should be at the post station outside the city now, and the marshal will go to see the emperor before going home."

Yu Jin solemnly warned the two: "You pay attention to the bamboo forest, there is a red cloth strip on it to find a painting martial guard to go out on a mission, and the blue cloth strip is a guard." Also, don't just break in, if you don't find out that it's an acquaintance, you're already dead. “

"My subordinates understand." The two retreated.

Yu Jin flipped through the information she brought, and there was no record of Gongsun being charming, only the main members of Gongsun's family.

"Put it away, and wait for the eldest cousin to bring the new information of the Gongsun family and check it again." Leng Hui nodded, took the information and stored it separately.

The birthday of the Empress Dowager was held in the Qianyuan Palace, and a lot of ice basins were placed in the hall, and even in the hot summer hall, there was no heat at all.

The old marquis of Dingyuan looked at his eyelids drooping, as if he had no energy, he had actually been waiting for an opportunity. Finally waited for the third master Yue to come forward to offer a birthday gift, "Yin Yue of Jingzhao Mansion is dedicated to the White Lotus Master Tai hand-painted a picture of the eight immortals crossing the sea to celebrate his birthday." “

The eunuch sang in a long voice, and the empress dowager had long lost interest in all kinds of gifts, squinting and not showing anything. The eunuch was about to take down the painting, but the old marquis lowered his head and muttered inadvertently: "I want to mix with a broken painting, I really don't care."

"Empress Dowager, why don't you open it and let the ministers wait to see which master Yue is dedicating." Liu Guogong was a little dazed, and the birthday gifts offered were either gold and silver, precious stones, and embroidery, he was tired of hearing it, and when he heard the old marquis muttering, he seemed to have received a code, and hurriedly went out to play the invitation.

"Oh, whose painting is it, open it for the mourning family to see." The Empress Dowager only then attracted attention, and Yue Sanye was saluting and wanted to retreat, so she hurriedly turned around to help open the box and carefully took out the painting. The two palace maids beside the Empress Dowager came down to take the scroll, slowly unfolded it and walked in front of the Empress Dowager.

"Back to the Empress Dowager, this is the Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea chart made by the White Lotus Master of the Taoist Temple of Tianshu Mountain on her 70th birthday." Yue Zhiyi respectfully saluted and introduced.

"Quick, come closer, let the mourning family take a closer look." The Empress Dowager was very interested, the two palace maids stood in front of the imperial case, and the Empress Dowager nodded frequently after looking at the painting, "Yes, Yue Aiqing knows which eight immortals they are." “

Yue Zhiyi already knew the names of the Eight Immortals from his daughter's letters, and he respectfully introduced: "Back to the Empress Dowager, the most handsome and dashing one is Lu Chunyang, and the one who rides a donkey is Zhang Guolao, there are Tie Guan Li, Zhong Liquan, Han Xiangzi, Lan Caihe, He Xiangu, Uncle Cao Guo, the only female fairy He Xiangu, I heard that it was painted in imitation of the appearance of the White Lotus Master when she was young, and the clothes and expressions of the characters in this painting were designed by her apprentice, and the master Tai personally painted and wrote."

The Empress Dowager stood up again, approached the painting and nodded after taking a closer look, "Yes, it is indeed the White Lotus Master herself." When I was a child, I had a relationship with Master White Lotus, and I remember her appearance. Imperial daughter-in-law, imperial grandson, imperial grandson, you also look at this chart of the eight immortals crossing the sea. “

The emperor, the queen and the queen mother all stood up to look at the painting, and praised it in their mouths, and the queen mother just wanted people to put it away.

Liu Guogong once again came out of the list to enlighten, "The Empress Dowager, I heard that the White Lotus Master has turned into an immortal at the age of ninety-six, let the ministers and others take a look, and touch the blessings of the Empress Dowager." “

The Empress Dowager happily agreed: "Okay, you should be careful, don't break it."

The eight immortals crossed the sea to show their magical powers and painted for a week, and received a piece of flattery, which made the empress dowager feel overjoyed, and saw Yue Sanye, who was standing silently and respectfully, and smiled: "Emperor and grandson, the mourning family can't be filial piety to Yue Aiqing in vain, and you have to give some rewards." Yue Aiqing, where is your wife? “

Yue Zhiyi came up and saluted with an embarrassed face, "The courtiers have no identity, and they wish the Empress Dowager a long and healthy life at home." “

The queen hurriedly left her seat and whispered to the empress dowager what happened in the Dingyuan Marquis's mansion, and the empress dowager said disapprovingly: "The old Dingyuan Marquis is too responsible, which mother doesn't love her child, that child is also blessed, and can be loved by his parents and brothers and sisters." The emperor and grandson gave her a grace, and I want to meet their mother and daughter, so that they can come tomorrow to participate in the mourning family's birthday. “

The Empress Dowager personally spoke, and in order to please the Empress Dowager, the emperor directly appointed Mrs. Wu to the same level as Mrs. Dingyuan.
