The last state went back and forth for seven days, counting the time to arrest people and raid their homes, Hebai and Shan Zhao hurried to spend twelve days, and they came back first as soon as the task was completed, and the follow-up stolen money and the people arrested arrived three days late.

As soon as the stolen money arrived, Ming Langtao asked Ming Lanying to help sort it out, and no one was more skilled than Ming Lanying in the calculation of money and accounts.

She didn't shirk it, after all, there was also a copy she lent out to get back.

As soon as the 200,000 reinforcements on the front line arrived, they were put together, and Ye Jielu directly sent troops to fight over.

The general of the neighboring country didn't know what to think, and he didn't even resist and didn't care, so that Ye Jielu's people easily conquered a city in less than half a month.

The soldiers of the neighboring countries abandoned the most marginal cities and their people, and retreated to the back cities.

Ye Jielu took people to screen it once, and those who were left behind were all old, weak, sick and disabled, and they were all abandoned by their empire.

Ye Jielu looked at the prisoners of war of more than 5,000 people in a city in silence, these people are also a burden to them, and it is not only meaningless to take them in, but also drag down the development of Biansai.

They can be driven away, but to drive away is to give up the more than 5,000 lives.

This is not a threat or a burden for Ye Juelu, and his childhood experience has caused him to lose his sympathy and kindness for other lives.

More lives were lost directly or indirectly at his hands than the prisoners of war in front of him.

What he cared about was what to do with the prisoners of war in front of him without affecting the emperor's reputation.

When Ye Jielu had a headache, the good news had been transmitted back to Biansai, and the whole city celebrated, and the name of Ye Jielu, the king of Yanbei, became famous for a while.

Ming Lanying also received a letter from Ye Jielu to send back the secret guard, just a short sentence.

"Enjoy the light clouds and stargazing at night during the day, wake up and think about Qing, and sleep also think about Qing."

Ming Lanying snorted in disgust, but the smile at the corner of her mouth couldn't be suppressed.

Dong Xia still remembered Miss Yang's affairs, and asked people to stare at Miss Yang's situation and report it at any time.

I heard that Yang Guilan has been worse than death in the past half a month, and Mrs. Yang invited three outstanding embroidery girls to teach her to be a female celebrity.

The embroidery girl is strict, Yang Guilan's talent is there, and she can't embroider a picture of a hundred birds and a phoenix in half a month.

I can only sleep for two hours a day, and my ten fingers are all pierced with pinholes, and I am about to be tortured and crazy by Mrs. Yang.

The other girls were surprised when they heard that Yang Guilan was an outstanding embroiderer and was taken by the princess.

Yang Guilan's embroidery can get the princess's blue eyes, so wouldn't they make the princess treat her differently directly!

As long as the Ming Lan Ying shows that they are interested in something, they will do what they like.

The prince is not on the side, and she is the only one who can speak in front of the princess, and instead of trying to please the princess who doesn't know when he will come back, it is better to please the princess faster.

Those who wanted to be sisters with Princess Yanbei hurriedly copied the embroidery, and hurried to embroider the deputy masterpiece and send it to Ming Lanying.

There are smart people who are practicing hard, waiting for the opportunity to perform in front of Ming Lanying.

When Hebai and Shan Zhao came back, it happened to be Yang Guilan's half-moon period.

"Sister-in-law! We're back! ”

The two of them were covered in dust mixed with the smell of blood, and the wolf cub smelled it from a distance, shook his head and sneezed, and followed the little master to greet people.

Dong Xia said to the two of them with a smile: "It's better to come back early than to come back, today is the half-moon period, and it is the day to decide whether Miss Yang can enter the palace." ”

Hebai rolled up his sleeves and was about to go out with Ming Lanying, but was pulled by Ming Lanying.

"Alright, what's the hurry! What do you look like when you're dirty, you two go change your clothes first. ”

"But—"

Hebai wanted to say something, but was dragged away by Shan Zhao.

"But what is it, if you want to give the princess and sister-in-law angry, hurry up and change your clothes, don't embarrass the princess and sister-in-law!"

Ming Lanying clasped her arms and looked at the hands of the two of them, and Hebai did not resist, this slight change surprised her.

There were times when the two of them pulled each other before, hooking shoulders and backs, but they were both men and women, and they didn't get too close.

After these few missions, the relationship has improved a lot!

When the two of them changed their clothes and came out, they found that there was no Ming Lanying, and there were only Dongxia and Ning'er in the main hall, as well as wolf cubs.

Hebai pouted dissatisfiedly, "What about my sister-in-law?" Did you run away with us on your back? ”

Dong Xia smiled and shook his head, "Shopkeeper Li came to find my sister-in-law to see the new venue, and I left first, but I left a word, let's wait for Miss Yang here." ”

Hebai sat next to Dongxia with his ass crossed, drinking tea with his feet crossed, "Just waiting?" What if she doesn't come? ”

Dong Xia said confidently: "No, she will definitely come, it's up to you what you say when the time comes, anyway, people can't enter the mansion." ”

Shan Zhao slapped the table, "Of course!" Where is a place like the palace where these cats and dogs can mess in! Ning'er, take the wolf cub to sit here! If you want to enter the first article of the palace, you can't be afraid of wolf cubs! ”

Ning Er snorted and took a handsome wolf head.

The steward of the king in the front yard was not there, and the steward of the king in the backyard stepped into the hall with a smile and passed the word.

"Ladies and gentlemen, people are here."

Ming Lanying handed over Yang Guilan to Hebai, Shan Zhao and Dong Xia to deal with it, believing that they would have no problem.

He took Steward Wang and Mama Cai from the front yard to the new venue of the restaurant branch in the next county with Shopkeeper Li.

With the budget-conscious Wang Changying, the new address was quickly set at a low price, and it is still one of the busiest trading center areas in the county.

After setting the address, it was to pretend to be horizontal and personnel, Ming Lanying and Shopkeeper Li discussed for a while, and left twenty guards with knives to guard the venue.

The big restaurant is famous, and there are many jealous people who will do things behind their backs, Ming Lanying is afraid that the new venue will be exposed, rather than engaging in those twists and turns, it is better to use force to solve all problems.

The follow-up decorating staff Li has acquaintances, and Ming Lanying doesn't have to worry about it, but she has put a little thought into the design, which can be practical and good-looking if she saves costs.

In the next county, I discussed the branch with Shopkeeper Li for a day, and I rushed back at dusk.

As soon as he arrived at the gate of the house, he met Meng Huaisu, and Ming Lanying simply got out of the car to say hello.

"Yo! Did Meng Tong come to pick up Dong Xia and go back? ”

When Meng Huaisu saw her coming back from outside with Mama Cai and the steward of the front yard, she knew that she was going out to do something, and bowed her head.

"Yes, the princess just came back from her errands?"

"I went next door and looked at the address of the new store, and I was exhausted." Ming Lanying rubbed her stiff neck, "Let's go in, they should be busy in winter and summer." ”

"Busy?"

Meng Huaisu was a little puzzled, every day in the palace in winter and summer was to deal with medicinal materials, help Ming Lanying to regulate her body, or help the maids in the palace to see some minor diseases, in fact, she was never busy at the end of the day, and it was rare for Ming Lanying to say that she was busy.

Ming Lanying smiled and waved her hand, "Whew! It's just a little bit of fun. ”

Meng Huai retraced, "Is it the Yang family's business?" ”

"Dong Xia told you?"

Meng Huaisu nodded, because he also knew some of the things that were often on his lips during this time in winter and summer, which could only show that the ideas that Lan Ying came up with were really bad, but they were indeed lively and could make an example of chickens and monkeys.

"The princess is a good means."

Meng Huaisu praised expressionlessly, and the words he said always had a bit of yin and yang weirdness in Ming Lanying's eyes.

As soon as Ming Lanying got out of the carriage, the porter hurriedly ran to spread the news, and several people who were reviewing in the garden immediately ran to meet her.

Dongxia also saw Meng Huaisu, and sighed, "Look at me, I'm so happy, I forgot to go back!" ”

Meng Huaisu nodded lightly, "It's okay, I'll pick you up by the way." ”

Dong Xia smiled and pulled Meng Huaisu to sit down together, "Let's listen to the excitement together when you come, Hebai and Shan Zhao are really bad today, Miss Yang ran out crying." ”

Ning Er stepped forward intimately to pinch Ming Lanying's shoulder, and shared today's fun with Ming Lanying, Hebai and Shan Zhao interjected from time to time, and several people talked about what happened.

Mrs. Yang waited in the palace for most of the day and didn't see anyone from the palace, and she couldn't wait, so she simply took her daughter to the palace directly.

But Ming Lanying left early, of course she didn't see it, and she heard that Lanying handed over the rights to Hebai and the others, and asked Mrs. Yang to come and go directly to see Hebai and the others.

Mrs. Yang thought about it, maybe the people here didn't dare to take the people that the princess valued at will, and after this pass, they would be from the palace, so they pulled her daughter in.

As a result, as soon as they met, Hebai and Shan Zhao seemed to have turned on a magic switch and couldn't stop laughing.

finally stopped, after Mrs. Yang explained her intentions, several people asked Yang Guilan to present her work to see, and Yang Guilan presented a painting of mandarin ducks playing in the water with a pale face.

Hebai and Shan Zhao held back a smile, criticized the embroidery painting from head to toe, and even picked out the thorns of the fabric and analyzed 500 words.

One by one, Yang Guilan directly said that she cried, Mrs. Yang's face was not good-looking, and she took out Ming Lanying to value her daughter to talk about things, and accused Hebai and the others of disobeying the princess means disrespecting the princess.

Hebai sprayed directly, "This lady, when did you hear that the princess valued your daughter?" As far as you know, do others know? Speaking of evidence, as far as your daughter is concerned, how satisfied is the princess with her? The maids in the palace are a hundred times better looking than her, you tell me how satisfied the princess is with her? ”

Mrs. Yang just wanted to explain to her, but found that today's side hall was not even familiar with the maids except for the winter and summer who were obviously with them, and she was speechless for a while.

Shan Zhao also turned his head and asked Dong Xia specifically, Dong Xia shook his head, "The princess only said that she would give her half a month to learn a skill, and if she learned it well, it was convincing, so she could take Miss Yang into the house." ”

"But looking at Miss Yang like this, it seems that learning has no effect, Mrs. Yang don't worry, do you want to go back and practice again?"

Shan Zhao sneered, "What are you practicing!" That's it, she can't learn even if she practices for another hundred and eighty years, how can she serve the prince with such poor skills? Still want to be with the princess? It doesn't look good, but it's so beautiful to think about! ”

Hebai also sighed at Yang Guilan twice, "What do you say?" Who gave you the confidence to think that you are a good woman? Just this embroiderer, I can embroider better than you casually, right? ”

Yang Guilan's figure was crumbling, and Mrs. Yang was anxious, "The princess didn't mean that at the time, she obviously said that when my daughter learns a skill, she will be able to get close to her forehead!" ”

Hebai took a sip of tea, "It was then, and now it is now, what does the princess's decision at that time have to do with my decision now?" The princess has left this matter to us, and we say that if you can't do it, you can't do it. ”

Mrs. Yang can't care about anything, the first concubine in the palace can only be her daughter, she is bound to let it out, she can't be slapped in the face so quickly!

Hurriedly took out a sachet from his sleeve and handed it to Hebai, "Girl, be accommodating, this sachet is embroidered well, worthy of the girl." ”

Hearing this, Ming Lanying raised her eyebrows, "And then?" So you put people in? ”

Tsurubai grinned, "How can it! Of course, I was greedy for his money and was 'inviting' people out. ”

Shan Zhao snorted, "She told the two that when the princess came back, she would say good things for them and send someone to pick them up, but that Yang girl seemed to be dying, her face was sluggish, her steps were weak, and she was tsk-"

Dong Xia also covered her mouth and smiled, and quietly explained to Meng Huaisu: "Miss Yang hasn't slept well for half a month, and her spirit is naturally in a trance, plus Mrs. Yang is eager to look forward to her daughter, and she has been putting pressure on her, and within a month, Miss Yang will be driven crazy." ”

Ming Lanying glanced at the sachet in Hebai's hand, "How much did they give you?" ”

Hebai stretched out a hand and compared it to five, "Five hundred taels!" ”

Five hundred taels is worth most of the expenses of a family of five.

Ming Lanying was a little surprised, a county lady, five hundred taels and five hundred taels, the assets are quite thick!

"Have you figured out how to end it?"

Hebai shook his head, "Isn't this waiting for your sister-in-law to come back and come up with an idea!" My sister-in-law is so smart, she must have thought of a way, right? Sister-in-law, you say, I'll do it for you! Sister-in-law, do you think you should call someone again tomorrow, and then we will beat her again, and then drive them back to wait for news, and so on and so on! ”

Ming Lan Ying: "......"

Tsurubai's skill points are all on force and chatter, right?

"Your idea is good, but I have a more interesting idea, and I can make more money and have fun."

"What, what! Sister-in-law, say it quickly! I want to listen, I want to listen! ”

Ming Lanying pointed to the five hundred taels of silver tickets in Hebai's hand, "A county lady can have five hundred taels of oil and water at one time, so if we directly hold a campaign competition, each person has a registration fee of one hundred taels, how much can you guess?" ”

"Hiss——!"

Hebai took a breath, Shan Zhao's eyes widened in shock, and Dongxia clapped his hands excitedly.

"Sister-in-law is so smart! Hold a campaign for the reason of choosing a concubine for the prince, let those people directly pay money to compare talents, and have fun to watch, and toss these people, tossing people enough, and no one dares to hit the prince's attention! ”

Hebai asked, "What about Yang Guilan?" ”

Shan Zhao frowned and thought for a moment, "She's going crazy, let's just add more fire, isn't she a thorn in the side of this group of people now?" Let's talk about how good she is, how satisfied the princess is, so that they will be jealous and take action for us. ”
