After taming the snow fox, Mu Yunyao was very novel. Not only did she cook food for the snow fox herself, but she also trimmed her nails and fur, as if she was treating it like a child.
King Yue received the news from Yangzhou City, and handed the letter to Mu Yunyao, his eyes swept across the snow fox lying on her shoulder, his eyebrows moved slightly: "The fox is cunning, you are so defenseless against it, Aren't you afraid that it will take advantage of the chaos to attack you?"
Mu Yunyao raised the corner of her lips slightly, raised her arm, and Xuehu followed her arm and climbed from her shoulder into her palm: "Didn't the fourth master say that the Xuehu in western Guangdong has spirituality and is extremely protective of the master after being tamed? I think it knows what's best to do."
Xuehu licked Mu Yunyao's fingertips in a pleasing manner, wagging his tail and trying hard to wrap around her wrist, his eyes were extraordinarily agile.
King Yue was a little curious. He had seen others tame a snow fox, but he had never seen a tamed snow fox so close to his master: "What did you do?"
Mu Yunyao narrowed her eyes: "Does killing chickens count as a warning to foxes?" She is not cooking with snow foxes for nothing these days. Although animals are not smart enough, they have keen intuition and know how to choose the most beneficial to them. .
The smile in King Yue's eyes spread out: "It's good if it's obedient." He caught several snow foxes and deliberately chose the one that looked the most spiritual. Although the smarter the snow fox, the more difficult it would be to tame, but he somehow felt that Mu Yunyao There is a way, and now it seems to be the right choice.
Mu Yunyao raised her hand and put Xuehu on her shoulder, carefully looking at the contents of the letter. Xuehu was extraordinarily well-behaved. Seeing her bowing her head, she involuntarily bowed her head and went over to join in the fun.
The appearance of one person and one snow fox with curved eyebrows and upturned eyes is very similar, so King Yue couldn't help but take a few more glances, only to feel as if feathers were falling gently in his heart, and the touch was soft and itchy, making people unable to stop their hearts from trembling. .
"It seems that the effect of sending peony is not bad." After Mu Yunyao said that, King Yue was still in a daze, thinking that he was thinking about something, so he could not help but wait quietly.
Yue Wang returned to his senses, involuntarily closed his eyes, and the corners of his lips rose slightly: "In this way, our next plan will be more guaranteed."
"Well, can the fourth master hear who was dispatched to check the salt tax this time?"
"If nothing else, it should be Li Yuanyi, Governor of Liangjiang."
"The last name is Li?" Did the Li family appear too often
King Yue nodded slightly: "Li Yuanyi is a side branch of the Li family, and the current eldest prince and concubine came from this branch. If you think about it seriously, the eldest prince should call Li Yuanyi a cousin." Mu Yunyao couldn't help but raise her voice. On the corner of his lips, he secretly sighed in his heart that the whole Jiangnan would be lively: "The emperor sent someone to check the salt tax, of course, he wanted to rectify the salt administration and prevent the illegal salt trade from becoming too rampant, but if Li All the family members are sent to Jiangnan, I am afraid it will not work.
"
Jiangnan has become the world of the Li family, and they still don't take the opportunity to gather salt merchants and help the eldest prince develop his wings
"Royal father is meticulous and has always had his own set of regulations. It is difficult for outsiders to speculate, but at the moment, the emperor should be somewhat dissatisfied with the big brother in his heart."
Mu Yunyao quickly thought of Caiyue Pavilion, which had been closed down recently. There were rumors that the people of the eldest prince once worked in the court, hoping to help Caiyue Pavilion get the emperor's reward and recognition, but the result was unsatisfactory.
"Does the fourth master know what the Governor of Liangjiang likes?"
King Yue was silent for a while, his eyes moved slightly, and a dark color flashed: "Beauty!"
Mu Yunyao couldn't help but chuckle: "Yes, there is no man in the world who doesn't like beauty, it's much easier to do it if you like beauty. Can Miss Mingyin under the fourth master lend me a period of training?"
"Mingyin is practicing assassination skills. If you want to use it against Li Yuanyi, I'm afraid the effect will not be very good. I can find someone else to send it to you."
"No, I think Miss Mingyin is very good, and she has assassination skills, and she can prevent Li Yuanyi from taking advantage of her by force." Mu Yunyao had a plan in her heart, and she couldn't help but feel a lot easier, and let Xuehu go. Gently stroke his back on his knees.
Seeing Mu Yunyao's insistence, King Yue didn't force it any further, and his eyes fell on Xuehu, who squinted his eyes: "Can you think of a name for it?"
"I didn't think about it, what did the fourth master teach you?"
"Xuehu has a light body and gallops like a fly on the snow. Why don't you just call it treading snow?"
Mu Yunyao smiled brightly. She had to say that the name that King Yue thought was really in line with her mind. The ferret raised by the eldest lady of the Su family was called Bai Xue, and the fox she raised was called Ta Xue. , isn't it a very appropriate expression of her state of mind
"Okay, thank the fourth master for his name."
Not long after Mu Yunyao returned home, Caiqing walked in: "This servant has seen Miss."
"But the person you're staring at has moved?"
"Miss Hui, the two women you are staring at, one of them suffered a fire in their home last night, and they slept deeply at night, the house collapsed, and they couldn't escape. When the mother-in-law came back from the delivery, she drank some wine, slipped into the water and drowned."
Mu Yunyao nodded and motioned for the Jinlan purse on one side to pass it over.
Caiqing quickly declined: "Miss, this is impossible."
"Take it, the children of the Salesian Bureau have been used to inquire about the news this time. My ability is limited, and I can't bring them all here to live, but they do their best, and the rewards they deserve are not small. Haruhi also Here, use these silver taels to help them buy some clothes."
Caiqing hurriedly knelt down to thank her: "Thank you, Miss, for your kindness and virtue."
"It's not necessary, it's just some silver taels. In the future, if they find out any useful news, they can send it to Jinxiu Garden together. If it is useful, they will give them some money."
"Yes." In the evening, Liuliang rushed back with the news of Qi Ming: "Master, Wu Minzhi and others are extremely careful. After verifying Qi Ming's identity in every possible way, they are still on guard against him, Qi Ming did not get any useful news, only from Others vaguely noticed that after a while, there will be a large number of official salts.
We will take the Xijiang River and pass through Jingling City. Mu Yunyao's heart moved: "Seeing that the emperor is about to send someone to check the salt tax, there shouldn't be a large number of official salt sales at this time. "Every time the inspection of the salt tax is imminent, the salt merchants will reduce the sales volume of salt. After all, they are watching closely at this time.
Adds a lot more cost than usual.
"I just heard the news vaguely, it's not necessarily true." "It's groundless, it's just what it is. There will be no such news spread out for no reason. Let Qi Ming be more careful and don't rush to inquire. At this time, the more stable it is, the better. The more confusing it is, he must have been preparing for Yi Bao Xuan for a while, how is he preparing?"
