"In the future, there is no need to send urgent items from Beidi, they can be forwarded directly to the capital." Mu Nanshan said coldly, turning around and entering the study.
The guard held the letter to himself and chased after him with a little embarrassment: "But general, this... this is not a military or political emergency, this is... an autographed family letter from the right lady of the Beidi Dazhang! I'm afraid it will be difficult to send this to the capital. Not quite appropriate, is it?”
"I am a Dali official. As a rule, I cannot have any private dealings with foreign royal families. This is an ironclad order," Mu Nan said without raising his head. He took a copy from the hill-like memorial and opened it while speaking in a deep voice. The guard said, "Okay, let's get down."
"Yes, I'm resigning." The guard withdrew with confusion.
Who doesn’t know Mu Nanshan’s identity? Before the Mu Nanshan people arrived in Qinghai, Long Live Lord's decree had arrived in Qinghai first. It was clearly written in the imperial decree that correspondence between Qinghai generals and the Beidi royal family was not restricted.
But…
The guard looked at the letter in his hand that had just been delivered this morning. He shook his head helplessly, mounted his horse and drove out. It seemed that he had to go to the capital.
well!

In the study.
Mu Nanshan approved the discounts all morning, and when it was time for lunch, he did not stop. The housekeeper, Lao Xu, had to bring the lunch in, place it one by one on the small table, and urge Mu Nanshan to have lunch.
"General, if you don't delay in skipping lunch, then I really won't be able to explain to you." After urging him several times, Mu Nanshan showed no intention to move, so Lao Xu had to use his trump card.
This housekeeper, Lao Xu, used to be the housekeeper of Xihuai Courtyard. Because he did things properly and knew the rules, he was highly regarded by Mu Nanzhi. When Mu Nanshan left Beijing this time, Mu Nanzhi specifically pointed out that Lao Xu should follow Mu Nanzhi. Nanshan came to serve Mu Nanshan's three meals a day. Before leaving, Mu Nanzhi specifically told Lao Xu in front of Mu Nanshan that if Mu Nanshan did not eat and rest on time, Lao Xu could just write a letter to report to her. Report a bounty of one thousand taels of silver.
Of course, Lao Xu is not greedy for a thousand taels of silver, but after serving Mu Nanshan for a long time, he has also figured out Mu Nanshan's background. As long as Mu Nanshan is too late to eat, the giant Buddha of Mu Nanzhi will be safe for use. .
Sure enough, Mu Nanshan immediately put down the brush, stretched, stood up with a smile, and walked over, saying to Lao Xu: "You are getting bolder now, but it's too late, and you are using the eldest sister to scare me again. I."
"Isn't this old slave worried about the general?" Old Xu smiled and handed the chopsticks to Mu Nanshan while saying, "General, please try it. Today we have your favorite crab roe tofu."
Mu Nanshan also saw it. He was so busy that he took a spoon over and ate it. He immediately praised it: "It tastes good! It's as good as the imperial chef's!"
Seeing how happy he was eating, Lao Xu also laughed: "If the general likes to eat, I will ask the cook to make another bowl that night."
"By the way, how can there be crab roe at this time?" Fortunately, Mu Nanshan was holding the bowl and eating crab roe tofu bite by bite, and asked Lao Xu curiously, "How can there be crabs in this place in Qinghai?"
"I'm afraid the general won't believe it. Although this dish is also called crab roe tofu, crab roe is not used in it, and the ingredients used are ordinary dishes," Lao Xu replied, "This is the specialty of the new cook in the house. , I knew it would suit the general’s taste.”
"How is that possible? This is obviously crab roe," Mu Nanshan looked unbelieving. He took another spoon and tasted the taste in his mouth, and confirmed with Lao Xu again, "No, this is crab roe! Why? Maybe there’s no crab roe?”
