Now.

Murong Dai's eyes were a little red, she looked at Xue Mu, and finally said, "You did save the life of your teacher today, and your essence and blood are very useful." ”

Xue Mu was also happy: "If that's the case, then it's great." ”

Murong Dai looked at the thing he was holding in his hand at this time and asked, "What is in your hand?" ”

"It's just rouge or something." Xue Mu replied calmly.

"To whom?" Murong Dai frowned, of course, she was a little moved, and she instantly became cold.

"I happened to pass by a rouge shop, and I heard the shopkeeper discuss that this is the most rouge gouache used by women in the capital, and I thought that the master would come to me in a few days, so I bought it in advance and planned to find a time for you."

Xue Mu didn't blush and his heart didn't beat when he told a lie.

Murong Dai listened to his words, and naturally did not believe it all.

But she stretched out her hand and said, "If that's the case, then you can give it to me." ”

"Okay."

Xue Mu gave her four copies at one time.

Murong Dai didn't expect him to buy four rouges.

She was a little surprised: "You bought all four rouges for me?" Or do you want to give it to someone else? ”

"Who can I give it to?" Xue Mu pretended to explain: "The only women who can contact me on weekdays are Master and my boss. ”

"But my boss is usually cold, I guess she shouldn't need it."

When Murong Dai heard this, she also held back a smile.

In the end, she nodded with satisfaction, approving Xue Mu's behavior: "Okay, it's not too early, you should go back early, by the way, don't forget that you still have to go to Lu Jianghe to steal the map of the palace." ”

"Master, this is really difficult for me."

"Why?"

"I can't see, I don't know which ones are maps and which ones are not needed." Xue Mu used his own eyes as a shield.

Sure enough, when Murong Dai heard this, she knew that it was really difficult for him to steal the map of the palace.

In the end, she said: "Then you do your best, if you really can't do it, forget it, I'll think of another way." ”

"Don't worry, Master, I will definitely do my best, Master, you also have to take care of your body, if you are injured, the disciple will also be anxious."

Murong Dai listened to his flamboyant words, and still pretended to be calm: "You are very filial, and you are very touched by the teacher, I will teach you some unique methods of the Bright Sect in the future." ”

"Thank you, Master!!"

Seeing Xue Mu respect his teacher so much, it also made Murong Dai a lot happier.

In the end, she left satisfied.

Xue Mu didn't expect Murong Dai to appear.

If she had just gone to Xiao Mansion, maybe Murong Dai would have to be angry.

"In order to avoid Murong Dai, follow secretly, or don't go to Xiao Mansion first."

So Xue Mu planned to go home, and after a walk, he went home.

Meanwhile.

In the publication.

Zhao Ruoli and the others walked out.

Qing'er asked suspiciously: "Your Royal Highness the eldest princess, this shopkeeper keeps saying that the blind man is a subordinate, why is this?" ”

"Because "The Legend of the West Chamber" and "Dream of Red Mansions" were both written by him, in order to keep a low profile, he hid his identity." Zhao Ruoli replied calmly.

Qing'er suddenly realized after hearing this.

Meng Zhi on the side was a little puzzled: "Does this person really have such a high level of literature?" ”

"I don't know if he has such a high level of literature, but Mr. Xiao has praised him more than once, so I think this person is a great talent and can be reused." Zhao Ruoli explained.

Meng Zhi immediately arched his hand and said, "In that case, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, my subordinates will invite him over." ”

"Not necessarily." Zhao Ruoli smiled calmly: "I will meet him if I have a fate." ”

Then she looked at Qing'er: "Did you buy that "Dream of Red Mansions"?" ”

Qing'er nodded: "Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, she is already in the baggage." ”

Zhao Ruoli responded: "Okay, then let's go back to the palace." ”

Then the two followed behind Zhao Ruoli and slowly walked towards the gate of the palace.

At night, Xue Mu sat in Xu Ruyan's room.

Xu Ruyan listened to him read the story of "Dream of Red Mansions" and wrote it down.

When he finished reading, he finished writing himself.

Xue Mu couldn't help but sigh: "Ruyan, your memory is really amazing. ”

"Ruyan only has this ability, and other things can't help Gongzi." Xu Ruyan said ashamedly.

Xue Mu shook his head, and then hugged her in his arms: "Actually, you are already very good, besides, who said that you can't help me with other things." ”

"Anything else?" Xu Ruyan raised her head and looked at him with expectant eyes.

Xue Mu smiled and lightly tapped her little lips with his fingers.

Xu Ruyan suddenly understood.

His face flushed slightly.

After a while, she stooped under the table.

After a long time, Xu Ruyan leaned into his arms and asked, "Mu Lang, have many people watched this "Dream of Red Mansions"?" ”

Xue Mu nodded: "According to the shopkeeper, there are a lot of daughters and sons who have come to buy the first article of "Dream of Red Mansions", and presumably there will be many people coming to the second and third articles tomorrow." ”

"It would be great if that was the case." Xu Ruyan was happy.

She also didn't expect that her Ruyi Langjun was still a writer of the Daqing Dynasty to some extent.

With only those two poems, as well as the creation of "The Legend of the West Chamber", it can definitely occupy a place in the literary world of the Daqing Dynasty.

It's just that Xu Ruyan also understands that Xue Muzhi is not here.

He was bent on helping his father find clues and help solve the case.

Thinking of this, Xu Ruyan leaned into his arms again.

Meanwhile.

In the long night.

The eldest princess in the dormitory.

After Zhao Ruoli finished handling the affairs of the court, she leaned back in her chair and slightly supported her forehead with her slender little hand, intending to take a break.

Qing'er stepped forward at this time.

She said with concern: "Your Royal Highness the eldest princess, why don't you go to bed and rest, you have seen the fold for two hours." ”

Zhao Ruoli shook her head, and then said, "No need, I'll just sit here and rest for a while." ”

Qing'er looked at her and was also a little distressed.

Although she is a palace maid, Zhao Ruoli has always been very good to her.

He even taught himself to read and write.

Such a master, even if he lets himself die, he will go to the soup and go to the fire, and he will not give up.

Zhao Ruoli leaned on the chair, in fact, he was a little tired, but he couldn't rest, and there were dozens of books he hadn't read.

Since her imperial brother completely ignored the government two years ago, the affairs of the court have fallen into the hands of her and her two imperial nephews.

And the two imperial nephews have been constantly using their power to expand their power since then.

wants to take the opportunity to seize the position of the crown prince.

No one cared about the people of the Daqing Dynasty.

At the beginning, Zhao Ruoli still had the mentality of assisting and persuaded her two good nephews.

But as the two of them intensified, Zhao Ruoli's mood changed.

Many officials also hinted at the eldest princess in private.

They said that now that the Daqing Dynasty is worried about internal and external troubles, and if it continues like this, it will die sooner or later, and there must be a leading figure.

Although Zhao Ruoli didn't say anything, she also knew that instead of letting these two selfish wastes rule the Daqing Dynasty, it was better to let herself recreate glory.

But that's just the last thought.

At present, his royal brother is still in good health, even if it is more than ten years before he abdicates.

So during this period, if Zhao Ruoli also developed his own power like them, then no one cared about the people of the Daqing Dynasty.

Therefore, Zhao Ruoli chose to focus on the common people.

What she has done in the past two years has also been praised by many officials.

It's just that this King Kang and King Jing naturally can't get used to this aunt.

Therefore, they will also deceive behind their backs and embarrass Her Royal Highness the eldest princess.

Although Zhao Ruoli never took them seriously, she was still worried about the future of the Daqing Dynasty.

That's why she had to review the excerpts every night until late at night.

"Qing'er."

"The slave is here."

"Go and get that copy of 'Dream of Red Mansions'."

"Yes."

Not long after, Zhao Ruoli had more "Dream of Red Mansions" in her hands.

She opened it with great interest, and the preface at the beginning was not particularly attractive.

But as the story slowly deepened, Zhao Ruoli was surprised to find that the content of this Dream of Red Mansions was also wonderful.

Before she knew it, she was even fascinated by it.

Qing'er observed Zhao Ruoli on the side, and couldn't help but sigh: [Her Royal Highness the eldest princess seems to have not been so relaxed for a long time, by the way, the last time I watched "The Legend of the West Chamber" was also in this state. 】

Unknowingly, Zhao Ruoli actually finished reading the first part of "Dream of Red Mansions".

She closed the notebook and asked, "What time is it?" ”

"It's almost time, Your Highness the Eldest Princess."

"So late?"

"Your Royal Highness the eldest princess, you have just been watching for about half an hour."

Zhao Ruoli was also a little surprised when she heard this.

Then she and Qing'er said: "Tomorrow, the publication will release the second and third articles of "Dream of Red Mansions", you go and buy them back." ”

"Yes, Your Highness the Eldest Princess."

Zhao Ruoli stood up, and the red long yarn dragged to the ground.

Her slender figure makes the red dress so eye-catching.

"I'm tired today, so let's come here, take a shower and change clothes."

"Yes, Your Highness the Eldest Princess."

After a short time, Zhao Ruoli came behind the screen.

The long veil slowly faded, revealing the fragrant shoulders, and in the faint hazy sense of vision of the screen, a perfect figure appeared......

Early the next morning.

Xue Mu got up early.

He had to go to the Divine Capture Division to interrogate Huang Shoucheng.

On the other hand, the publication also opened early.

The servants of the golden prince were all waiting outside.

I saw the shopkeeper Zhou Qingshan admonishing and said: "The second and third parts of "Dream of Red Mansions" are updated today, and there are only fifty copies. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone present became nervous.

"I'll give you a tael of silver."

"My son-in-law is out of two."

"I'll give you three taels."

"I ......"

Seeing everyone rushing in to bid, Zhou Qingshan was also surprised.

In fact, this method was told to him by Xue Mu.

When he proposed that this was hunger marketing, Zhou Qingshan didn't quite understand it.

But when Xue Mu said that he could make Dream of Red Mansions more popular and make more money, he said he didn't need to understand.

Indeed, Zhou Qingshan only needs to make a lot of money.

He didn't expect this little Xue Agui to have such a powerful business acumen.

In addition to selling scripts, Zhou Qingshan couldn't help but admire him.

For a while, half of the capital's daughters took action, just to watch the latest "Dream of Red Mansions".

Among them, Xiao Qingyue naturally waited in the house early.

Fluttershy finally bought the latest story, and quickly took it back to Xiao Mansion and handed it to Xiao Qingyue to read.

"Miss, I bought it back!!"

When Xiao Qingyue heard this, she immediately stepped forward.

"Miss, don't you know, the threshold of this publication is about to be trampled on."

Fluttershy complains.

But Xiao Qingyue didn't have time to listen to his words, looked at the contents inside, and read them carefully.

Not only that, but so do the daughters of other families.

Even the literati and sons of Guiyue Tower are discussing this "Dream of Red Mansions".

"By the way, the latest chapter of "Dream of Red Mansions" has come out, which of you bought it?"

"I asked my family to buy it this morning, and I've finished reading it."

"Brother Su, you've finished reading it so quickly, hurry up and borrow it from me."

"Yes, Brother Su, you can also lend me a look."

"It's easy to say, this "Dream of Red Mansions" can be regarded as the most popular reading book in the capital."

"Yes, I don't know which great writer wrote it, and wrote every character so vividly."

While they were discussing, Zhao Jingyan, who was sitting at the table next to him, was a little puzzled.

He asked Lao Jia, the housekeeper on the side: "Lao Jia, what is the point of saying that these men go to read those scripts all day long." ”

Lao Jia laughed: "Little prince, do you know that there is Yan Ruyu in the book, and there is a golden house in the book?" ”

"I only know that a hero should serve the country, or walk the rivers and lakes, where to sit by the window like them, delicate and pretentious, and chant poetry." Zhao Jingyan complained ruthlessly.

The housekeeper Lao Jia just smiled and didn't speak.

Although he knew that Zhao Jingyan was not interested in these words, he also didn't want the little prince to learn martial arts and explore the rivers and lakes.

Not to mention serving the country and killing the enemy.

He always kept in mind the words of the eighth prince, and wanted to keep the little prince away from martial arts, away from the government, and live this life with peace of mind.

"It's extremely boring, forget it, let's go to the Divine Capture Division to find Brother Xue."

Since Xue Mu demonstrated to him the last time that copper coins and silver fell to the ground at the same time, he was now curious about Brother Xue, that is, admiration and curiosity.

So Zhao Jingyan wanted to run to the God Capture Division if he had nothing to do.

Taking advantage of the housekeeper Lao Jia's inattention, he slipped away.

"Little prince, you wait for me."

And Xue Mu at this time.

In the prison, he walked into Huang Shoucheng's cell and waited.

As early as just now, Huang Shoucheng planned to buy Xue Mu with three thousand taels of silver.

And Xue Mu also asked the recorder next to him to write it down.

Huang Shoucheng took a look and found that it was an upright thousand households.

He was not discouraged.

Not greedy, just because there are not enough bribes.

As long as there are enough, people will be greedy.

So Huang Shoucheng said with a hippie smile: "My lord, if you let me go, the villain is willing to give you five thousand taels." ”

He then looked at the people around him and said, "Every brother has it." ”

However, to his surprise, none of the people present were moved.

Huang Shoucheng begged bitterly: "My lords, I just owe them some silver taels, just pay it back, why arrest me and go to the prison." ”

I saw Xue Mu say calmly: "Tell me about the reduction in the size of the fertile land of the people of Zhangjiazhuang." ”

As soon as these words came out, Huang Shoucheng was stunned.

Why is it not a matter of owing the people a silver tael, but a matter of the size of the field.

All of a sudden, he was obviously a little weak-hearted, and the sweat on his forehead couldn't help but rise.

It was this performance that also made Xue Mu firmly believe that this matter was inseparable from Huang Shoucheng.

If you follow this line for a long time, you may be able to find clues related to Xu Jie.

At that time, Xu Jie's identity, his relationship with his father, and his identity behind him will be able to be found out.

Just as Xue Mu wanted to pry Huang Shoucheng's mouth open, a catcher hurriedly ran over behind him.

"Xue Qianhu, Lu Yuantong, the waiter of the Criminal Department, is here!"

When Xue Mu heard this, he wondered.

How did he get here?

Recommend a good friend's new book "Healing Shenhao", you can take a look!! It's very good-looking
