Just when everyone was chatting and laughing, the sound of the maid's announcement came from outside the door.

"Concubine Yu, the prince accompanied the second prince and the twelfth prince to come in to greet you."

When Concubine Xian heard the announcement, she was naturally surprised and asked to come in.

Unexpectedly, today there was a plum banquet in the Lirui Palace, not only a princess came, but even two princes came.

Although she is a concubine, the emperor has gone after all.

Moreover, she was not favored in the past, and she did not have a deep friendship with the current queen mother, the queen of the year.

Therefore, these princes do not often come to the Rui Wang's Mansion to greet her on weekdays.

Today, the queen's concubine will actually come to greet her, which really surprised her.

As for the twelve princes whose biological mother was humble and died early, she had subconsciously ignored her.

The ladies in the reception hall couldn't help but stand up and walk towards the screen when they heard that the prince and the prince were going to come in to greet the concubine.

And the lady who was talking in front of all the ladies was naturally busy hiding behind the screen.

After a while, Mu Yunzheng, who had a cold face, accompanied the suave second prince to the door of the hospitality hall.

Mu Yunzheng invited the second prince to enter the door, and then went to invite the twelfth prince.

However, the sixteen-year-old Twelfth Prince refused to be advanced, but followed Mu Yunzheng step by step, only saying that the eldest and youngest were orderly, and he was the youngest, so he should naturally follow behind his brothers.

Mu Yunzheng looked at the persistence and seriousness of the Twelve Princes lightly, and then turned around and entered the main hall.

The second prince was as gentle as jade and asked Concubine Xian to say goodbye. Then, the twelve princes were crisp and immature, and they also asked Concubine Xian to say goodbye.

Concubine Xian was naturally busy asking them to get up.

In the end, Mu Yunzheng asked Concubine Xian with a cold face, and Concubine Xian looked at Mrs. Yun sitting next to her, pulled the corners of her mouth and shouted.

Mu Yunzheng, the second prince, and the twelfth prince together greeted the elders such as the lady and the eldest princess in the hall, and then politely accompanied the elders to talk.

Most of the time, it was the second prince who answered the questions of the elders as gently as jade, Mu Yunzheng jumped a few words coldly and concisely, and the twelve princes followed Mu Yunzheng's appearance and answered the rare questions concisely and politely.

The ladies behind the screen in the reception hall were quiet for a while when Mu Yunzheng, the second prince, and the twelfth prince asked for peace.

When they began to talk to their elders, they whispered behind the screen.

Mu Yunzheng is a person with sensitive ears, and he is a person who practices martial arts, so even if those young ladies are whispering behind the screen, he has heard some.

As a result, the already cold and hard face sank even more.

Rong Qiaoyan sat on the chair, but she didn't squeeze behind the screen to peek like the others.

Mu Yunzheng was prescient.

If there is no one in the plum garden, you or a wonderful branch, you have to show a few traces.

There is no shortage of shrewd people in this room, and it is hard to guarantee that it will attract attention.

However, Mu Yunzheng is a royal child, why did he assassinate the cousin of the second prince?

This thought, in Rong Qiaoyan's mind, only flashed for a moment, and then was pressed by Rong Qiaoyan.

Either way, it has nothing to do with her.

Mu Yunzheng and the other three, after a brief narrative, retired and left under the burning eyes of all the nobles.

Everyone in the hall began to talk and laugh again.

************

At the beginning of Shen Shi, some people left one after another.

The first auxiliary mansion is Wenchen, and the Rui Wangfu is the noble. On weekdays, there is not much intersection between the two provinces.

Therefore, the Shoufu Mansion and the Rui Wangfu Mansion are not considered to be good families, so at the moment of Shen, the people of the Shoufu Mansion said goodbye and left.

Rong Qiaoyan, who returned to the house, took Miaozhi back to the room, then sent the others away, and took out the meeting gift she received and took a look.

There was the transparent elder, who knew that the maiden would be more short of money, so he rewarded such practical objects as silver barley and gold beads.

In today's banquet, there are many elders who go, so Rong Qiaoyan's harvest is not small.

Miaozhi took a small scale and weighed the silver barley, golden peanuts, gold beads and the like he received, and there were about fifty taels.

In addition, with the jewelry and the like received, Rong Qiaoyan can be regarded as making a small fortune.

Rong Qiaoyan, who was smiling, unfolded the two silver tickets in her sleeve pocket purse, and sure enough, they were silver tickets with a denomination of 1,000 taels.

Her smile couldn't help but widen.

However, when she thought that the prince of Rui Wang planned to give five thousand taels at the beginning, she was a little remorseful.

But......

Rong Qiaoyan, who restrained her emotions, asked Miaozhi to take the money box and carefully count her money.

Not counting those coins and scattered copper coins, she now has more than 3,200 taels of silver in her hand.

Rong Qiaoyan couldn't help but feel happy when she thought of this.

These silver taels can now be used to buy food and stock up.

It's winter, and people don't know that next year's grain harvest will fail, so it's extremely easy to buy grain.

Not only is there a lot of food, but the price is also cheap.

Buy grain first, buy grain first, no matter what. Whether you know how to polish rice or brown rice, you should buy more and stock up.

If you buy food, you will be able to make money next year.

When the time comes, whatever road guide and what manpower can be arranged.

Thinking of this, Rong Qiaoyan was excited.

She was about to call Mama Yang to come in and arrange the purchase of grain, but then she thought that this matter was very important, and she had to do it herself.

"Miaozhi, put these whole money here for me, I can use it. You went and called the nurse to come in. ”

Rong Qiaoyan said simply to Miaozhi.

Miaoeda was not suspicious.

The big girl is in charge of the money box, which is a common rule among the nobles of the high family.

However, there is no problem for the master to collect this large amount of money in person.

Therefore, Miaozhi put the remaining money box after Rong Qiaoyan packed three thousand taels first, and then went to the courtyard to call Mama Yang.

"Miss." Mama Yang, who came in in a hurry, first saluted Rong Qiaoyan.

"Nurse, I have some things to explain to my grandmother. Today...... ”

Rong Qiaoyan looked at the sky.

Winter days are short. Now, just after unitary, the sky is slowly getting dark.

That's it, that's it. Don't rush this moment, let's wait for tomorrow.

Thinking of this, Rong Qiaoyan continued: "Call him tomorrow morning to go, go... Wait for me at the corner gate on West Sandwich Road. ”

Rongfu is a large mansion facing south from the north, and on the east and west sides of the high wall, there are two sandwich passages from the front street to the back alley.

This sandwich passage is mostly convenient for people to go directly from the front door to the back door to do work.

In normal times, people naturally enter and exit through the corner gate of the courtyard.

However, some tasks, such as collecting night incense, buying rice and grain materials, etc., can't start from the front door or the back door of the courtyard, and carry or carry things through the corner doors, right?

In that case, doesn't that unpleasant smell smoke the master?

Therefore, this sandwich is a passage that does this kind of rough work--------- can run a two-wheeled carriage, which is fast and convenient.

Every time I enter the house, there are corner doors on the east and west sandwich roads, and there are mothers-in-law guarding the door on weekdays.

Rong Qiaoyan's yard is located on the west side of Rong Mansion, which is naturally closer to the West Sandwich Road.
