Aunt Qiu looked around and saw that Yanhong, the eldest maid who had been sent away by Madam to serve tea, was coming from one end of the corridor, so she busily retreated sharply for two steps, turned around and turned into the back of a corridor pillar, and waited for the maid to reach the door before she slowly stepped out.
"Aunt Qiu, come to deliver the account book." Yanhong saw her and smiled, Aunt Qiu will be the side lady next month, everyone in this house is much more polite to her now, "The eldest young master is inside, I'll help Auntie send it in."
"Thank you, Miss." Aunt Qiu smiled and handed her the account book in her hand, turning to leave.
The two inside the house stopped talking when they heard the maid's voice, and when the person entered the house, Du asked, "Yanhong, who's out there?"
"When the slave girl walked to the door, she happened to run into Aunt Qiu coming to deliver the account book, and let the slave girl hold it back." Yan Hong smiled and placed the account book on the table.
Mrs. Bei Wei Marquis frowned, today let Aunt Qiu in the side hall to review this month's account book, the maids are kicked out is to forget her, fortunately Yan Hong back in time. Let Yanhong go out to guard outside the door, Du looked up to Mu Lingbao said: "You are not too old, son will run down the ground, do not spend the whole day with the group of fox friends hanging out in the kiln! If you don't have time to practice more martial arts, you can save yourself the embarrassment of fighting with Duke Mao's family again!"
"That day can't be blamed on me, that bastard played a dirty trick!" Mu Ling Bao saw his mother talking about herself, immediately became unconvinced, "What are you afraid of, that kid Han Zhang can't learn martial arts, even if I just practice I'm still better than him!"
Aunt Qiu returned to her own small courtyard, only feeling upset. She had thought that the king had treated Huanzhang well, and that his life was better than that of the Marquis of Beiwei's residence, so she had not asked for anything more. But he had forgotten about the royal seizure of the throne! Cheng Wang how brave and good at fighting, even the capital of the yellow mouth children know, such a person is really willing to be a lifetime prince? Or a prince who has no first son, and whose heir can't take the title.
With the intention of finding her son to talk to him, but she is still a concubine who is not allowed to go out of the second door, Qiu sighed and summoned her maid Yan Cui, asking her to send a letter to the Mo Lien Residence.
"Auntie, the second young master's store is ...... selling balms, how can the slave girl enter?" Yan Cui immediately reddened.
Aunt Qiu glared at the noisy maid, "Letting you in, you have to go to the Houfu gate! Give this to the Wang family's oldest, who is driving the cart, and leave the rest to you."
For the second prince southwest attack investigation has been no clue, the Da Lisi judgment of the identity of the assassin should be folk wild assassins, is the so-called jianghu people, for the sake of money don't want to die kind of. But Jing Chen is micro-suited to go, know his whereabouts only a few guards around him, four guards are sent by the emperor, two are King Cheng's people. The people in the court do not say, but in their hearts they all suspect that the assassination of the second prince must be related to King Cheng!
"At first, King Cheng insisted on assigning you two guards, but now that I think about it, there are really many suspicions!" Mr. Chen, the Qing guest in the Second Prince's residence, said sincerely.
Jing Chen, who was recuperating at home, sat at his desk and frowned at the words, "That doesn't need to be said, Jing Shao won't harm me."
"Your Highness! In the royal family, brotherly love is as thin as paper, even if they are blood brothers, they can't be trusted! King Cheng's great achievements in battle, married to a male wife must be in the heart of the disobedience, I heard that he is in front of the crowd very favor the princess, this is incredible! May I ask if Your Highness is taken away from the qualification to carry on the great lineage, can you still be as comfortable as King Cheng?" Mr. Chen was unforgiving.
"Enough!" Jing Chen knocked the cup in his hand heavily on the table, "Those unwarranted speculations about Jing Shao, don't mention them again!"
After chasing away the chattering group of handlers, Jing Chen rubbed his brow somewhat wearily, took a pen and began writing a folded document.
"Your Highness, Mr. Chen and the others are also doing this for your own good, it's always right to keep an extra eye out." Second Prince Consort Xiao walked in with a bowl of summer cooling herbal tea, hesitated for a moment, but still couldn't help but say.
"What are you meddling in the affairs of the court?" Jing Chen glanced at her, unwilling to say more with her. Xiao could never understand his love and care for his younger brother, and after saying more Jing Chen was annoyed and didn't want to explain anymore. Women are short sighted, many things cannot be understood with her.
It was just that, even the staff of his house suspected Jing Shao, and the people in the court must have suspected him in no small number. Jing Chen's frown deeper and deeper, this time, no matter who did it, really very powerful. If he died the best, if he can't die, just to frame Jing Shao, whether it is bad Cheng Wang reputation or let their brothers against each other, are not losing money.
"The assassin thing, pursue it will only be unfavorable to you," early in the morning, Mu Hanzhang to Jing Shao tied the jade belt of the court dress, uneasy to explain, "today if someone against you, you put on filial piety and brotherly love righteousness loudly scolded him, never move out all kinds of reasons to refute, those civil officials you can not say them. " Know Jing Shao these days in the court aggrieved, Mu Hanzhang although heartache, but also can only persuade him to swallow this breath.
"I just can't help it, this is eight to nine times Jing Yu's doing! Let him get the advantage to go?" Jing Shao said angrily, this matter father's heart when is clear, just suffering from no clues, mouth say no evidence.
"Even if it is the fourth prince to do, kill brother is a great crime, they dare to do is well prepared," Mu Hanzhang sighed, "brother if you want to keep you, will certainly be on the folding to beg father not to pursue this matter, you only need to remember to do not impulsive is."
Jing Shao walked outward unhappily and turned back again without taking two steps, hanging his arms and burying his face into his own princess's shoulder, "It's annoying, I don't want to go today!"
Mu Hanzhang helplessly looked at the big guy hanging on, raised his hand and patted him: "Do not be capricious, go quickly." Jing Shao grunted and did not move, look at the hour is not early, afraid that he was late, only to warmly said: "Yesterday, brother Zhou bought a tank of shrimp, at noon I go to the Ministry of War to pick you up, let's go back to the flavor of the building with lunch."
Jing Shao sniffed, immediately had the spirit: "That said, I will point a dawning in the Ministry of War, Si Zheng can come out."
Mu Hanyang looked at his own prince windy out the door to go, lightly laughed and shook his head, how more and more like a child, still have to use food coaxing before willing to go out to do the right thing.
This morning morning, the fruit is not Mu Hanzhang expected, those who are the civil officials beat around the bush, insinuating that Jing Shao suspected, Jing Chen recuperating from injuries are not in the court, the fourth prince has been lowered his head and did not say a word.
Jing Shao listened to his own Wangfei's words, not to refute, but to take the brotherly love, filial piety and fraternal duty, scolding those civil officials for their evil intentions.
Emperor Hongzheng looked at the angry red-necked Jing Shao, did not say a word, waiting for Jing Shao scolded, only slowly opened his mouth: "This time the second prince was assassinated, if not into the king's guards desperately protect, has long been a lot of bad luck. You can not find out the results, on the groundless speculation, when I am a three-year-old child?" Said will be a zhang folding thrown to stand in the jade steps under the feet of the imperial historian.
The rigid imperial historian Fan Jie was the one who spoke the most vigorously, and was shocked by the emperor's majestic voice, so he had to kneel down and pick up the zhengzhi on the ground.
That folding is the second prince handed yesterday, in which the words earnestly persuade the father not to pursue this matter, because the most suspicious is the two brothers, as a brother really can not bear to see such a situation.
"The second prince of the house is kind and generous, this time went to the southwest, find out the southwest tribute thing, the credit is not to be missed, with the sealing of the king of Rui, and so on Jing Chen healed, the Ministry of Ceremony to pick a day it." Hongzheng emperor flung his sleeve and left, on his way out, he looked at the two sons on the court, his eyes were deep and meaningful.
Mu Han Zhang used breakfast, with Yunzhu out, first to the ink lotus residence around. Although this ink lotus residence is he opened, but this kind of thing out is not good to hear, the public has been said to be someone else opened, Cheng Wangfei just mixed shares.
Since the ink lotus residence opened, business has been very hot, the capital also some people can see that this business earns money, but no one dares to get involved, only because this ink lotus residence hung the name of the Cheng King's House, and the King's domineering and unreasonable is notorious.
"Brother Lin." Not long after Mu Hanzhang entered the store, he saw a familiar figure walk in, it was none other than Mr. Lin from the Dingnan Marquis' family. The Marquis of Dingnan was the Second Imperial Concubine's maiden family, and to put it mildly, the two of them were still relatives.
"Duke Mu ......" Duke Lin saw Mu Huanzhang here, and was a little embarrassed, "The box you sent ...... last time Well, I was not ashamed to let my subordinates come to to buy this, only to come here myself while the hour is early."
Lin Gongzi's husband is Dingnan Marquis family commoner son, the Marquis is still not separated, naturally, will not let him this male wife to hold the center feed, so to do what is ultimately not very convenient.
Mu Hanzhang heard the words, since he heard his difficulties, turned his head to look at the store furnishings. The common people are not so careful, men come to buy also can not see is a husband or wife, so it does not matter; just this royal family's male wives, but there are many inconveniences. So the cheap iron box in the store sells the most, the most expensive silver box can also be sold to those in order to curry favor with the beauty of the broad dude, but the most lucrative wooden box of balm did not originally envisioned a good sale.
"If Brother Lin is inconvenient, you say a quantity, at the beginning of each month I send someone to give a tightly wrapped package to send to the mansion, just say that it is something I send is." Mu hanzhang thought of this, his mind was alive again, this kind of stuff from the royal family will be sent by the internal affairs department on time and in quantity every month, then these princes and marquises who are inconvenient to come and buy but also need it very much, they can be allowed to pay the silver on a regular basis, and then give it to the house on a regular basis every month.
"This is a great solution to my big problem." Duke Lin was very happy to hear this and immediately gave a deposit.
From the ink lotus residence out, look at the time is still early, mu hanzhang on foot to go to the ministry of war office. Traveled to the front of the Ministry of War, just is Si Zheng, see a silhouette on time from the door out.
"Your Highness, this is not yet finished, why are you leaving?" Shangshu Sun chased out helplessly with a pamphlet.
"You make up your own mind is, I have urgent matters, let's talk later!" Jing Shao waved his hand impatiently and looked up to see his own Wangfei standing outside the door, a light green colored robe looked so good on him that he couldn't help but run over with a wide grin.
