Chapter 018: Moving Out of the Tang Family
Because the emperor did not order everyone to hide the queen mother's rejuvenation, it spread throughout the palace in just one day.
The next day, hundreds of civil and military officials also discussed the matter in the courtroom.
"When I entered the palace, I heard the palace maids and eunuchs say that the queen mother ate the elixir to restore the appearance of her youth, is it true or false?"
"This is true, my daughter Guifei witnessed the Queen Mother's youthful appearance. Early this morning, I specially sent a palace maid to wait for me at the palace gate to enter the palace and inform me of the incident, saying that the queen mother has not only become younger, but also recovered her health. The palace maid also said that the elixir was presented by Mu Nanjin to the queen mother and the princess, and now the concubines in the palace want to buy the elixir, but an elixir costs 10,000 gold. ”
Everyone pulled their voices in disbelief: "Ten thousand gold!?" ”
That's a million taels of silver.
Many of the officials present were dissuaded by the price.
They can't even get 10,000 gold out of bankruptcy.
Tang Wenzong rushed to the court room and heard the words '10,000 gold' in his ears.
He asked his colleague: "What ten thousand gold?" ”
The colleagues around him looked at him, their eyes suddenly lit up, and they opened their voices and shouted, "Lord Tang, it's Lord Tang who is here." ”
All of a sudden, the entire court looked at him.
Tang Wenzong was frightened by their shining eyes.
He cautiously asked, "Why are all the adults looking at me?" Is something happening? ”
The official Shangshu walked over with a smile and put his arm around his shoulder: "Wailang." ”
Tang Wenzong was flattered: "Lord Yao, what are you looking for?" ”
In the past two days, the secretary of the ministry was cold to him because of Mu Nanjin's heart, and today he became so enthusiastic that he felt very uneasy.
The official Shangshu patted him on the shoulder with a smile and said, "Now that all the civil and military officials know about this, you are still pretending to be confused?" ”
Tang Wenzong was puzzled: "Forgive the official for being stupid, the official really doesn't know what Lord Yao is referring to." ”
An official said: "Lord Yao, Lord Tang has just entered the court, and he should not know what we are discussing. ”
The official Shangshu nodded and said: "Since this is the case, then I will ask bluntly, can the elixir given to the Queen Mother by your family be cheaper." ”
"What elixir?"
Tang Wenzong was sweating, how could he not know that he had an elixir in his family?
The official Shangshu was a little unhappy, and put down the hand on his shoulder: "I said it so clearly, you still pretend?" If you don't want to sell it to us cheaply, you can say it directly, there is no need to pretend that you don't know. ”
Tang Wenzong felt that he was very wronged, and hurriedly explained: "Lord Yao, I really don't know what you said about the elixir, when did our family sell the elixir to the Queen Mother?" ”
If he had an elixir for the Queen Mother, he wouldn't still be a fifth-grade official by now.
Zuo Xiang stood up and said, "Looking at Lord Tang's expression, it seems that he really doesn't know about the elixir, so don't embarrass him." ”
Tang Wenzong wanted to make things clear: "Please also tell me what is going on." ”
Kind-hearted officials answered for Tang Wenzong.
Tang Wenzong was dumbfounded after hearing this: "Mu Nanjin gave the Queen Mother the elixir to restore the Queen Mother's youthful appearance?" She also said that the elixir sells for 10,000 gold? ”
10,000 gold......
Sold the entire Tang family is not worth 10,000 gold.
Everyone nodded.
Tang Wenzong hurriedly clarified himself: "Xia Guan really doesn't know that Mu Nanjin has an elixir to restore her youth, if Xia Guan knows that she has an elixir, he will beg her to give it to the elders in the family as soon as possible, and the two elders in the family will not be old and sick now." ”
Yesterday, I only heard that Mu Nanjin was arrested and put into the palace and was soon acquitted, and I didn't hear any more news after that, so naturally I didn't know about the elixir.
The official who had seen Tang Wenzong's parents spoke for him: "We have seen Tang Daren's parents, and their appearance is past the age of sixties. ”
Tang Wenzong looked at the other party gratefully, and said, "Please don't worry, my lords, wait for the lower officials to go back and ask clearly, and then give you a satisfactory answer." ”
"Then please don't do it."
Tang Wenzong immediately turned around to find Mu Nanjin, who knew that Mu Nanjin did not come to the duty after taking leave, and finally hurried home after retreating, but heard Mu Nanjin announce to everyone in the hall: "From today on, I am going to move out of the Tang family, you don't have to worry about me pestering Tang Jingrui again, I also take this opportunity to make it clear that I will marry no one in the future and will not marry your Tang family, you can rest assured." ”
She went to look for a house today.
"You're moving out of Tang's house?"
Old Man Tang and Old Lady Tang looked at her in surprise: "Really? ”
Tang Liuzhao was silent, without the slightest intention of obstruction.
"Of course really, I've found a house, I'll leave now."
Mu Nanjin got up and walked to the door of the hall.
Jiang Zhenru hurriedly stopped her: "Mu Nanjin, don't be rash, it's not safe for a girl's family to live outside." ”
Mu Nanjin waved his hand absently.
Tang Wenzong hurriedly spoke: "Mu Nanjin ......"
Mu Nanjin interrupted him: "I'm in a good mood now, and I don't want to listen to you." ”
Tang Wenzong: "......"
Don't you just don't want to listen to others when you're in a bad mood?
How did she turn the other way around?
Mu Nanjin quickened his pace and walked out of the Tang family.
When Tang Wenzong chased him out, he was no longer visible.
He was angry and said, "Oh, why didn't you stop her? ”
The people looked innocent.
Don't you want to drive her out of the Tang family?
So what else are they stopping?
Tang Wenzong sent people to chase after him, but unfortunately he didn't find anyone.
He strode into the hall and asked angrily, "Why did you agree to Mu Nanjin leaving?" ”
Old Madam Tang snorted lightly: "If you don't let her leave, will you let her keep pestering Jingrui?" It's not what we want her to do now, and we don't have to worry about it, and if we get into trouble in the future, we can leave it alone. ”
"Do you know that Mu Nanjin has an elixir on his body?"
"Elixir?"
Everyone was stunned.
Tang Wenzong told them about the elixir.
Jiang Zhenru was completely dumbfounded.
Mrs. Tang stood up angrily and anxiously, patted her chest and said, "That dead girl has an elixir but hides it and doesn't use it for us, watching us suffer from illness. She doesn't treat us as her own at all, she is really a white-eyed wolf who can't be raised. ”
"Then isn't she carrying an elixir worth tens of thousands of gold or hundreds of thousands of gold?" Old Man Tang said anxiously: "Quick, get the person back." ”
10,000 gold is enough for people up and down in their house to spend a lifetime, let alone tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of gold.
Tang Wenzong sighed: "I sent someone to look for it but didn't find it, and I will persuade her to come back tomorrow when I see her." ”
Tang Liuzhao was silent with a calm face.
In the afternoon, Tang Jingrui went home for dinner only to learn that Mu Nanjin had moved out of Tang's house, and he was very anxious.
Just when he put down his chopsticks and was about to send someone to find Mu Nanjin, he suddenly heard a woman's voice.
[Hee-hee-hee-hee-]
Tang Jingrui and Tang Wenzong paused, and seeing that the others did not react, they couldn't help but glance at each other.
This is...... Mu Nanjin's laughter?
Didn't she leave the Tang family? How could they listen to her.
[The people of the Tang family must not have imagined that I live in the house opposite the back door of the Tang family now, and they can't imagine that I am so close to them now, hehehe. 】
Tang Jingrui, Tang Wenzong: "......"
They didn't expect it, but they heard it.
