Chapter 207: For the Alliance
"This is my third time coming, every time I want to come, I have to queue up for a long time in advance, even the brother of the Empress Dowager Min, the uncle of Min Guo who has no one in his eyes, also has to queue up."
Yu Wenchu looked at Mingzhu's hands carefully at Twilight, these tender hands were still stained with charcoal ash, but he was not dirty at all, picked it up and put it to his lips and pecked it lightly: "This is a very mysterious existence, even if it is the princes and nobles in Beijing, they don't know much." The food is delicate and delicious, the quantity is very small, in order to lure the guests to never forget, the next time you come, it is not to find a way to queue up to come in to eat, but to see the interest of the host, the people who come have the emperor's relatives, there are also important ministers of the court, and even scholars and merchants...... The cook is mysterious and conceited, and never shows his face, but it is really strange that he can stay in this powerful capital. ”
With such a dirty hand, he could also get his mouth down, Mingzhu propped his hand on his face and pushed his face away hard: "And then?" ”
"Then, I found out that Geng Pingqiang, the son of your nurse, had been a frequent visitor to this place in the past, and that the king of Wusun had visited this place with great pleasure, and even the merchant who had provided spices to the palace had also been here. I couldn't find out who was behind it, and I thought it would be a curse to keep it, so I wanted to destroy it, as a warning to the man who was behind the scenes. But in the end, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, it still needs a suitable reason to act. Well, if the princess falls and is offended here, and I have another seizure, that's the best reason. As for the subsequent assassination and secret passage, that's another story. Yu Wenchu once again put Mingzhu's hand into his palm: "We cooperate very well. ”
Mingzhu frowned and said, "Since you want to know who the person behind you is, why do you want to let that old man die?" ”
"Because, he's not an important person, it's the chef who escaped." Yu Wenchu's voice was fluttering, and although his eyes were still looking at her hand, his eyes were already far away, as if he was thinking about a very tricky and difficult matter. But he didn't wander for long, and soon came back to his senses: "I always feel that there is a person hiding behind and manipulating a lot of things. From Yuwen Xue and Qin, to the last time you were poisoned, there is his shadow, therefore, if you don't succeed once, there must be twice, so you have to face these things, the sooner you experience it, the better, pearls need to be treasured and cared for, but they come from the grinding of gravel. Also, I need a helper I can trust, and I want that person to be you. ”
King of the Mountains. Somehow, such a person suddenly popped into Mingzhu's mind. She wanted to tell Yu Wenchu, but she felt that she didn't have any evidence, Yu Wenchu was not her parents and brother who were related to her blood, she could eat indiscriminately, but she couldn't talk nonsense, she couldn't cause trouble to her father and brother on impulse. Mingzhu's lips moved, and she held back again, and asked rhetorically, "Your Highness thinks I can be your helper?" And don't think I'm stupid, will drag you down? ”
"I never thought you were stupid, you would be a drag on me. On the contrary, after I married you, I felt very happy and satisfied. Yu Wenchu lowered his eyes and looked at her and said softly: "Of course, if you really want to hide it at home and be treasured by me, it's not impossible, but you are willing?" ”
Of course she is unwilling, if she is just hiding at home and being treasured, then why should she marry him? It's happier to stay with your parents. Mingzhu looked back at the past and said very seriously: "What I don't like is to be played with between applause, betrayed and concealed, which is the most unwilling." If Your Highness wants me to be your most trusted helper, I can't ask for it, and I also want Your Highness to be my most trusted person. ”
It was rare for her to be willing to say such a thing to him so seriously, Yu Wenchu smiled: "I have memorized the words of the princess, so let's work together." So, if there are similar things and opportunities in the future, how about asking the princess to appreciate her face and help her husband? There are some things he can't tell her yet, but he is desperately looking forward to her growing up quickly, looking at him in his eyes, thinking of him in his heart, happily advancing and retreating side by side with him, maybe one day, he can hold her hand, stand in the highest place in the capital, overlooking the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains.
Are there similar things and opportunities again? For example, Jiang Shanshan's incident? She couldn't wait to do that. Mingzhu stretched out his hand and high-fived Yuwenchu as an alliance: "Of course, but you can't lie to me." ”
"Okay." Yu Wenchu struck her with both palms, and by the way, held her hand in his palm, rubbing and rubbing.
Not long after the two returned to the mansion, Yu Wenchu went to listen to the follow-up of Xuelou's handling of the incident, Mingzhu wrote a letter and asked Su Lan to immediately send it back to Fu Mingzheng, so that he could immediately start to find out what things the Changxing Marquis Mansion had bought the most recently, and if it could be done, then see where Jiang Shanshan's workshop was chosen and what the situation of the craftsmen was.
Then he called Mama Zheng over: "I have one thing that Mama wants to do immediately." In the past, you were in charge of the Prime Minister's Mansion, so you must have known a lot of merchants. ”
Mama Zheng nodded and said, "Thanks to the Prime Minister's blessing, everyone wants to do the business of the Prime Minister's Mansion." ”
"Then, Mama went to a few familiar and trustworthy merchants, and asked them to buy Wu's glass products and pancreas in large quantities starting tomorrow. Just say that you want to sell to other places in the capital, ask, try to get discounts, and place a few orders. The money needed is to be withdrawn by Li Bochun, and the rest will be checked by Mama. Mingzhu instructed Mama Zheng, and then called Su Jin: "Go and invite Li Bochun." ”
Li Bochun is the steward carefully selected by her parents to manage her dowry, and he is the most delicate and loyal, but with him and Mama Zheng cooperating with each other, this matter can't be wrong.
After the arrangements were made one by one, it was time to rest, Yu Wenchu still stayed in front and did not come back, Su Lan put balm on Mingzhu's hands and feet, and persuaded softly: "The princess wants to send someone to send some supper to the front?" ”
In the past, Mingzhu often sent supper to his father, and he understood the situation in the study very well. According to her experience, at this moment, Yuwenchu was surrounded by a bunch of staff, and no one dared to leave to eat and drink without permission, and most of them had empty stomachs. It's a good opportunity to show virtuous and gentleness, and at the same time, she is not familiar with those people in his outer courtyard, so she has to find a chance to slowly become familiar with it, not to mention anything else, they eat too much food she sent, and they are always embarrassed to show her their faces, right?
Anyway, it's all the money that spent Yu Wenchu, so why not? Mingzhu jumped up and said excitedly: "You reminded me well, I forgot about it!" Of course I want to send it! It should also be made a little more delicate and delicious! It also needs to be easy to digest, don't let people eat and delay business. Do more, see who is busy with His Highness, and everyone has a share! ”
