Chapter 302

When the ship arrived in Wuzhou in the afternoon, Mu Xiyao leaned on the mast and leaned excitedly to look out from the third floor. The port is full of noise and shouting, and the flow of people is so busy that it is extremely busy. A middle-aged man waved a flag and commanded ships of all sizes to berth in the port in an orderly manner. On the shore, there are many young people crowded together in one place. There are people from various prefectures who come to meet the wind, and there are bearers who solicit business to make a living. Not far from the embankment, willows are twirling, it is the time when catkins are flying and spring flowers are blooming.

Suddenly holding the white catkins in his hand, he thought of the woman who became famous through the ages because of the catkins.

"What makes Jiaojiao happy." In the outer room, it was the fence again, and people on the two floors below had already paid attention to the two of them. Mu Xiyao put down the gauze veil hat that was only a little gapped, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"There is a woman with a tall charm and brilliant poetic talent that my concubine admires. Just now I remembered a story about her, and it happened to be such a beautiful occasion."

"Oh? Who can make Jiaojiao bow down?" To be highly praised by "Wooden Fish" shows that he must be an extraordinary person.

"Your Highness asked, and he knew everything." The woman laughed softly, and the two slowly walked down the stairs.

Walking to the bottom, the soldiers who met the two of them all respectfully bowed their heads and clasped their fists in salute. Zong Zhenglin interrupted everyone to say hello first, and only turned slightly to listen to Mu Xiyao, who was half a step behind, tell the story tactfully.

Everyone saw that His Highness had bright eyebrows, and it was rare to describe him as gentle, as if he took good care of Mrs. Lin behind him. Even when they got on the sampan, they walked in the center with guards.

Following His Highness, a woman in a sky-blue fairy dress with a veil covering her face, but the fingers that occasionally pressed the corners and protruded from the wide sleeves were slender and jade-white, and they were more delicate than many ladies from aristocratic families in Beijing. Also well maintained.

The woman nodded slightly, treating them very politely. But she didn't stop to chat with others, she just followed His Highness's side closely, with a gentle voice and graceful steps.

"The Xie family has a daughter who once met Luoxue at home. His uncle called all his sons and nephews to discuss poetry and fu, and the essays were justified. Suddenly, the snow suddenly caught wind. The public asked: 'What does the white snow look like?' The next gentleman of Xie's family replied: 'Scattered The difference in the salt air can be imitated.' Everyone answered one after another, but they didn't get their approval. Only the girl from Xie's family chanted loudly: 'It's not like catkins blowing up by the wind.' The public praised it. Later generations praised the beauty of women's talents and learning, which can be regarded as 'Yong Xucai'."

Zong Zhenglin turned his head and took a deep look at her, then turned around, but he was completely relieved. She said it was the daughter of the Xie family, so she assumed it was the daughter of the Xie family.

There is such a good sentence in the world, even if it is mentioned in the story, it should have been famous long ago. Where is the book writer in her mouth able to compile it.

"If you ask Jiaojiao to write a poem for this scene, so what?" Zong Zhenglin tested her for the first time as to what the name of the wooden fish was.

Mu Xiyao was amused. Boss must have doubts. This time he asked the same question himself, but he wanted to explore her abilities.

"Your Highness, is there a prize?" Wu Li didn't get up early, even as a subordinate, he didn't forget to ask for rewards.

"If Ms. Lin is really knowledgeable, I will allow you to have dinner at the same table." Zong Zhenglin had a hidden smile in his eyes, seeing her deflated, he immediately felt relieved.

Occasionally bullying her, it is extremely enjoyable...

He secretly gritted his teeth in hatred. This man took the opportunity to play tricks. Look at the frightened eyes, Mu Xiyao's eyes are extremely bright.

Dining at the same table? As for the dishes that His Highness the Sixth Highness does not use, when the meal is set in the evening, he must serve it with all his might!

"One sentence counts?" The only thing she likes is that one sentence. Now if you tell him to listen to it, he should also benefit from it.

"Barely." Zong Zhenglin's eyes lit up when he saw that she didn't refuse, but only wanted to take advantage of it. This means that she already has a draft?

Step on the shore steadily, and finally be down-to-earth. Mu Xiyao straightened the hem of her skirt, and when she stood up straight again, she gently raised her hand, and saw the catkins that had just been scooped up in her palm, swaying upwards due to the wind.

Taking advantage of the situation, Mu Xiyao put her hands back and supported the veiled hat, and Mu Xiyao raised her head high, the veil on her face slipped down the tip of her nose, her voice was slow and high-spirited.

"A good wind sends you into Qingyun by virtue of its strength."

"Your Highness, I got this sentence, but it was specially given to His Highness. I only hope that Your Highness will be victorious, and your wish will come true."

Your wish is my concubine's wish. Your Highness, please do your best.

Zongzheng Lin's phoenix eyes brightened, and seeing her elegantly standing in the crowd, he was still taken aback.

This woman often surprises him endlessly.

After boarding the frame that had already been arranged, Mu Xiyao watched the scenery of Wuzhou with great interest through the bamboo curtains hanging on the window. Lush and simple, it makes her feel more comfortable than the dignitaries everywhere in Shengjing.

Occasionally, a carriage passed by beside the car, and the sound of the women playing inside was also the sound of warblers and swallows, which was very pleasant to hear. It's not like in Shengjing City, there are only well-behaved people raised by aristocratic families, who are boring to look at.

The carriage slowly entered the city gate, and Prince Zongzheng Lin was driving in front. She, the heart who had been changed by the boss, naturally followed closely behind His Highness the Sixth Highness. It looks like a simple carriage on the outside, but there is something different inside. If Tian Fushan hadn't been here, Mu Xiyao would have thought that the Chief Manager would follow her to serve her.

"Where is that over there? Why is it so lively?" It's time for a lunch break, but why is there a long queue on the street? Mu Xiyao was puzzled and knocked on the car door, how could the groom outside the door dare to neglect her, so she quickly answered with a smile.

"My lord, that is the most famous medical center in Wuzhou, called Ji Ren Tang. Isn't the imperial court about to go to war? The state government just set up military doctors there. There is only such a spot in the whole state. These few days In places far and near, anyone with some knowledge of medicine would want to go in and find a job. Even if a military doctor can't do it, grab a pharmacist to do it, and the money will be enough for the whole family to spend for a few months."

After chatting with the driver for a while, and finding out about the interesting places in the city, Mu Xiyao and Hui Lan chatted together to discuss whether to go to Zama Hutong first or Hongye Lake.

After a while, he arrived at the gate of a big mansion, but it was the magistrate of Wuzhou with a group of local officials, who accompanied him carefully and respectfully greeted him outside the gate.

The person who came was the Sixth Highness who was rumored to be extremely difficult to serve, even saying that he was serious was not enough to describe that majesty. This His Highness is said to be the strictest among all the princes.

A few days ago, I got the news that His Highness is coming soon, and the officialdom in Wuzhou was greatly shaken. Just as they hurriedly got together to discuss how to cleanse the master, he received the order from the commander of the guards beside His Highness. His Highness doesn't like extravagance, and he can't stand the noise, so it's unavoidable, just arrange food and lodging properly. I also specifically mentioned that there are female officials accompanying me, and I don't like noise.

It is such an explanation that makes people both happy and worried. There are fewer things to do, and fewer responsibilities. But correspondingly, the opportunity to show his face in front of His Highness was not easy to come by. The rest of them also understand in their hearts that the Lord Zhizhou is here, and the benefits must naturally be given to the leader.

As a result, the magistrate went home to discuss with his wife, and the family temporarily moved to live in the government office. Not only vacated the best house in the city, but also left enough maids and servants for His Highness to order around. This magistrate is clever and especially sensitive to the accompanying "female officials". Regardless of the status of this female officer, being able to follow His Highness, this matter... Just in case, it is better to leave enough convenience for His Highness.

Zong Zhenglin only brought his attendants and more than a dozen guards, and everyone knew that the very important female officer Lin entered the Ruan Mansion. The rest of the generals were warmly received by the local military attache.

Following the little maid in Ruan's mansion, they entered the courtyard specially prepared for them in the backyard. Mu Xiyao threw herself on the couch with a bang, raised her hand, pulled the veil and hat impatiently and threw it far away.

"I've been swaying on the boat for several days, but now I'm standing on the ground, I still feel so light and unsteady." Urging Hui Lan to bring some hot tea, Mu Xiyao stood up and took a sip, then lay still on her stomach.

"My concubine's son is here, call again." Then he yawned and curled up into a ball. Chengqing Chengyou was under the care of Mother Zhao and Qingya, and Wei Zhen came from the other way to protect her, so she wasn't worried.

Putting a thin quilt on the master, and covering the wide-open windows until there was only a gap left, Hui Lan walked out the door silently with the little maid.

The Sixth Highness and his party left the capital for a few days, but in Shengjing City, the prince's residence did not calm down.

Helian Minmin fiddled with the beads, writing and drawing, so busy that he didn't even have time to eat a cup of tea.

"Mommy, this money is spent too quickly." She frowned, quite annoyed.

"Master, this matter is a bit difficult. How about we tell the master?"

"No. Helian's family can't be counted on now. If the other families are told that the concubine's body is inappropriate, I'm afraid they don't know how to make trouble." The only mother who can completely consider her is no longer in the world, Helian Min Sensitive nose with pantothenic acid. Without the guard of honor, everything depends on oneself. Back then, Helian Weirui was able to overcome the difficulties with no one to rely on, so she must be able to.

"Words go on, the family's expenses are reduced, and it's time for His Royal Highness to go to war, so he shouldn't be extravagant and indulge in pleasure." How about the backyard, at least she can make a decision. It was also fortunate that Zong Zhenglin was still thinking about her status in the main room, so he handed over the account book directly to her. Even Tian Fushan is only in charge of the general affairs of the outer court.

"Master!" Mother Feng was shocked. Master, is this an idea to use the public money?

Staring at the white jade tea bowl rising into the air in front of him, wisps of mist dissipated, Helian Minmin held the handkerchief, his eyes full of firmness. "Don't panic, Mammy. Your Highness won't investigate this matter." He simply gave her the right to be in charge of the house. In the final analysis, it was just that the woman didn't care, and neither did he. How many times has he set foot in the entire backyard, except Dan Ruoyuan?

"The time and place are right at this moment. If you don't heal your body quickly, how will you survive in the future!" Continuing to bury his head in the desk, Helian Minmin only thought about his children.

"This matter, except for you and Quan Gui'er, must not be known by others. Mommy, don't blame this concubine for being cruel. In fact, this matter is too important. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the lifeblood of my concubine. of."

Mother Feng didn't know that the concubine Zheng worked hard, tears welled up in her eyes, and she didn't complain at all in her heart.

In the prince's mansion, everyone was cut and spent inexplicably, which caused moaning in the backyard. He didn't dare to contradict him on the surface, but in private he had a lot of complaints about the concubine Zheng.

The Qi family and the Kong family were the most annoyed. The two of them have passed away, and they have long since lost hope. The only thing that can go is the rich life in the prince's mansion. Now that Concubine Helian is messing around like this, isn't this the end of life? They each have a family to take care of behind them. Does Helian think that everyone is like her, with the support of the Helian family, everything will be fine!

He Lian Minmin never thought that she just deducted 30% of the expenses, which made everyone in the prince's house move their minds. This hidden danger did not appear to be a scourge at first, but it was not until the time passed that she was shocked and caught off guard.
