Shang Yunze and Wang Zhi were discussing matters in the counting room, and they were slightly surprised after hearing what Mu Qingshan said: "The emperor is also interested in that roll of cloth?"
"Well, my lord is going out today to find that group of jugglers." Mu Qingshan said, "I'm in the study right now, saying I have something to talk about."
"Let's go." Shang Yunze stood up, "Go and have a look."
Wang Zhi nodded and went to the front hall with him.
"Master Shang, shopkeeper Wang." Wen Liunian greeted, "I'm sorry to bother you two so late."
"My lord, you don't need to be polite." Shang Yunze pulled out the chair, "I heard that your lord also went to find that group of jugglers today?"
"Yes." Wen Liunian nodded.
"If I had known that my lord was going, I would have come to warn me earlier." Wang Zhi said with concern, "That group of people can't understand the language and are reckless, they don't look like good people, are you not frightened? "
"No." Wen Liunian asked, "That group rejected Shopkeeper Wang?"
"It's more than just a refusal." Wang Zhi felt a headache when he said it, "It's useless for me to waste a long time with good words, and it's fine if I don't agree, and I even let the snake out to scare people. Maybe something will happen." He said that it was really a barbaric land, and if he didn't like it, he would be violent.
"Extremely unfriendly attitude?" Wen Liunian asked again.
Wang Zhi nodded.
Wen Liunian said: "Could Shopkeeper Wang tell the story in detail from the beginning to the end?"
Wang Zhi was a little puzzled, turned his head to look at Shang Yunze, saw him nodding his head, and then said: "A few days ago, I heard from a guest that a group of jugglers came to the city. , I went to see it a few times, and it happened that the owner of the castle mentioned it again yesterday, and felt that this was indeed a good business opportunity, so I brought the third son to the door to discuss business. Unexpectedly, the attitude of the other party was extremely unfriendly. I couldn’t even get in through the gate of the courtyard, and I finally got in, and I was the only one talking there, and they didn’t say a word, and then one of the thin and small men muttered something, and a big red python crawled from the roof When I got down, the third son hurriedly dragged me away." After more than ten years in the business field, this was the first time I had experienced such a scene, after all, even if we couldn't reach an agreement before, at least we could talk about face.
"Is that so." Wen Liunian was thoughtful.
"How is your lord doing today?" Shang Yunze asked.
"The attitude of the other party may not be very good, but he did not refuse." Wen Liunian said, "And the negotiation is almost over."
"Really?" Wang Zhi was a little surprised, "A person with an elm head, can an adult persuade him?"
"Actually, it's not that difficult." Wen Liunian said, "I mean, the other party seems to loosen easily."
"Really?" Shang Yunze became interested.
Wang Zhi groaned in his heart: "Castle Master, I have really tried my best." What happened to that group of people, why were adults willing to sell, and they were kicked out
"But the adults paid a high price?" Shang Yunze asked again.
"The price hasn't been discussed yet." Wen Liunian shook his head.
Wang Zhi felt a little hot, this...
"Shopkeeper Wang, don't need to think too much, there are not many people in this world who can speak up to an adult." Mu Qingshan comforted him.
Shang Yunze smiled, and said: "Perhaps there will also be threats and persecution."
"Master Shang's words are wrong." Wen Liunian corrected him in time, "I've always been very reasonable in my actions."
"Yes." Shang Yunze nodded, "The bandits in Cangwu Mountain must think so too."
Zhao Yue: "..."
"My lord, why do you ask this in such detail?" Mu Qingshan asked.
"I think it's a little strange." Wen Liunian said, "No one would like to eat and sleep outside, juggling can't make a lot of money, and those people don't look too young, shouldn't they be thinking about saving money?" Some money to get married and marry a daughter-in-law earlier?"
Mu Qingshan thought for a while: "Perhaps it is because the customs of foreign countries are different."
"You can't say that completely." Wen Liunian said, "Even if you are not in a hurry to marry a wife, but no matter which country you live in, silver is always attractive. You can tell by the clothes of shopkeeper Wang that he is a rich man, and he is very wealthy." Sincerely, since those people perform for making money, why would they not even want to listen to the asking price, so they are anxious to drive them away?"
Shang Yunze said: "What do you think, my lord?"
"When I went with Commander Xiang today, I always felt that the man named Gao Dazhuang acted a little strangely. As for why it was so strange, I couldn't tell." Wen Liunian said, "It seems a bit like acting." From being full of doubts and doubts at the beginning to being at a loss later, there is a feeling of exerting too much force.
Zhao Yue frowned slightly.
"That's why I wanted to ask Shopkeeper Wang." Wen Liunian scratched his chin, "But it's just a personal feeling, I can't say how accurate it is."
"What's the next step?" Zhao Yue asked.
"I made an appointment with the other party tomorrow morning." Wen Liunian said, "We'll talk about it after we've been there."
Shang Yunze nodded: "If your lord needs help, it's okay to say so."
"Thank you Lord Shang in advance." Wen Liunian nodded, "It's already dark, so I won't bother you any more. Everyone, go back and rest earlier."
Mu Qingshan glanced at Wen Liunian, hesitated to speak, returned to the bedroom, rummaged for a long time and took out a bottle of ointment, and asked someone to send it to Wen Liunian.
Your lord seems to be working hard today.
The red armored wolf crawled in through the window and shook its tentacles at his friend.
"Why are you here?" Mu Qingshan laughed out loud, held it in the palm of his hand and played with it, and made some snack crumbs for him.
"I really grew up eating a lot of food." Shang Yunze flicked the bright red carapace with his fingers.
The red-armored wolf was lazily lying on the table with his head covered in dim sum crumbs.
It's been a long time since I've been covered...
On the other side, Zhao Yue took the medicine jar and put it on the bedside: "Master sent it."
Glancing at the small blue and white jade pot, Wen Liunian squeezed his red ears, and said after a while, "Maybe the master wanted to send the wind and cold medicine, but ended up taking the wrong one." This is entirely possible.
Zhao Yue smiled: "Then do you need to take medicine?"
"No." Wen Liunian quickly got into bed.
"Then tomorrow, I can only continue to lie on the bed to recuperate." Zhao Yue and Yi leaned against him.
Wen Liunian thought for a while: "I'll do it myself."
Zhao Yue readily handed him the medicine jar.
Wen Liunian chased them away: "You go out."
Zhao Yue imitated him: "No."
Wen Liunian: "..."
Zhao Yue looked at him with a half-smile, obviously teasing him.
Wen Liunian felt very upset in his heart, he was clearly the one who had the upper hand before, why did everything go the other way when he just did it outside
Zhao Yue gently stroked his side face with the back of his hand, his eyes were very gentle.
Wen Liunian hid himself, groping for the medicine in the bed, his expression froze after a while, and he took out the small medicine jar.
"What's wrong?" Zhao Yue was puzzled.
Water mist rose from Wen Liunian's eyes, and he said in a trembling voice, "Is this really a wound medicine?"
Zhao Yue took a look at the small bottle, there was no label on it, but it smelled very cool.
Wen Liunian's face turned pale: "Hurry up, I want to take a bath."
Zhao Yue turned over and got out of bed: "Come here!"
After a while, Shang Yunze opened the door and asked in doubt: "It's so late, is there still something to do at home?" Why did he look in a hurry.
Mu Qingshan was sitting on the bed, applying ointment to the red armored wolf's carapace.
"Little idiot." Shang Yunze turned back, "Did you just give your lord a jar of ointment?"
"Yeah." Mu Qingshan nodded, "It's very useful, what's wrong?"
"What is it?" Shang Yunze asked.
"Cooling ointment, press the temple when you have a fever and headache, and it will feel better immediately." Mu Qingshan said seriously, "Guard Zuo gave it to me when he was leaving."
"It's really just cooling ointment?" Shang Yunze wondered, it sounds normal, so why did Zhao Yue look like he was being poisoned.
"Of course it's true." Mu Qingshan got off the bed, "I'll help you find it, there are three cans in the cabinet."
"Cooling ointment?" Zhao Yue opened his eyes wide.
"That's right, it's this thing. It's left behind by Guardian Zuo before leaving. There shouldn't be any problem." Shang Yunze held a small white jade pot in his hand, "What happened?"
Zhao Yue froze for a moment, then calmly said: "It's okay."
"All right?" Shang Yunze obviously didn't believe it.
"It's really all right." Zhao Yue said, "Probably because I rubbed too much, so I felt a little dizzy, so I came here to ask."
"...Is that so." Shang Yunze was dubious.
Zhao Yue turned and walked out: "I'm bothering the castle owner, please leave."
In the bedroom, Wen Liunian was wrapped in the quilt after taking a bath, his eyes were full of sadness.
It turned out to be a cold medicine.
What are you thinking about all day long.
Zhao Yue hugged him and kissed him, tentatively said: "Do you want to see a doctor?"
"How dare you!" Wen Liunian sat up in shock, but fell back instantly.
"Okay, okay, don't look for a doctor." Zhao Yue patted him on the back, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "Don't move around anymore."
For the first time in his life, Wen Liunian wanted to dig himself a hole and bury him.
Why is it so embarrassing.
In the middle of the night, Zhao Yue finally coaxed him to sleep, carefully tucked him under the quilt, looked at the teary face, and finally couldn't help laughing.
Wen Liunian was angry in his dream and turned around in a daze.
Zhao Yue hugged him into his arms from behind, his movements were very gentle.
Early the next morning, Xiang Lie came to the brocade shop to look for it, and didn't even bother to eat breakfast.
"My lord hasn't woken up yet, let's eat something with Xiang Tong first." Mu Qingshan said.
Xiang Lie wondered, Mr. Wen was always very punctual, if he made an appointment, he always had to wait in advance, and he was never late.
Mu Qingshan filled a bowl of soybean juice for him.
"But you don't feel well?" Xiang Lie was concerned, the weather was so hot yesterday, and he had to walk through most of the city in a sedan chair, let alone collapsed from exhaustion.
"Probably." Mu Qingshan nodded, "Last night, my lord was carried back by the head."
Hearing the words from the commander, he became more and more worried.
"Can it work?" Zhao Yue asked in fear in the bedroom.
"Okay." Wen Liunian's face turned pale.
"No, you're not allowed to go out." Zhao Yue forcibly picked him up.
"It's fine to walk for a while, and we can't delay things." Wen Liunian wriggled out of his arms and left the bedroom.
The secret guards have been visiting the shop of Sun Moon Villa recently to catch up on the old days, and they rarely come back to deliver snacks, but just happened to bump into this scene, so they squatted on the wall in a strange mood, watching Mr. Wen walking out of the small courtyard together.
The head of the family is really not an ordinary person.
"My lord." Xiang Lie was drinking tea in the dining room, and when he saw it, he hurried out to greet him, "I heard from the master that my lord suffered from heatstroke yesterday, are you alright?"
"It's nothing." Wen Liunian walked smoothly.
Xiang Lie's expression was full of doubts.
Wen Liunian explained: "I was dizzy in the middle of the night last night and accidentally fell."
"Do you want to ask the imperial doctor for diagnosis and treatment?" Xiang Lie sized him up and said from the bottom of his heart, "Your Excellency seems to have fallen hard."
Never! Wen Liunian coughed twice, and stretched out his hand to touch his nose: "I've rubbed the meridian oil, and I feel much better."
"That's good." Xiang Lie said, "Can my lord still go out?" He was asking Wen Liunian, but his eyes were fixed on Zhao Yue, and it made sense at a glance.
"Let's go now." Wen Liunian turned around and took a step.
"Does your lord not eat breakfast?" Mu Qingshan asked from behind.
"We'll eat when we come back." Wen Liunian was very calm: "Where is the sedan chair?"
Zhao Yue shook his head helplessly, stepped forward to hug him and put him in the soft sedan chair: "I will accompany you."
Wen Liunian said, "Oh."
Looking at his red ears, Zhao Yue didn't know what mood he should be in. After putting down the sedan chair curtain, Xiang Lie followed, and before getting on the horse, he didn't forget to praise: "If the emperor knows how diligent and hardworking your lord is, he must be very pleased."
"Let's go quickly." Wen Liunian was full of sorrow and urged, just wanting to come back and lay down on the bed as soon as possible.
Since Mrs. Wen said to leave quickly, the bearers naturally walked quickly. Wen Liunian was uncomfortable no matter how much he sat inside. After finally reaching the outside of the city, he was already covered in sweat, so naturally he was not in a good mood. .
Zhao Yue carried him out.
Xiang Lie wanted to say "It's really loving", but when he saw Wen Liunian's expression, he shut up wisely and knocked on the door.
This time, the gate of the courtyard was opened quickly, and he was still tall and strong before, with a more relaxed attitude: "The two adults are here." After speaking, he glanced at Zhao Yue: "This is also an adult in the court. ?”
Xiang Lie said: "He is a good friend of Mr. Wen."
"All three, please come in." The other party didn't ask any further questions, and made some tea as usual.
"Have you thought it over carefully?" Wen Liunian asked.
"Think clearly." Gao Dazhuang nodded: "We sell."
Xiang Lie was overjoyed when he heard the words.
"That would be the best." Wen Liunian dipped his finger in the tea, and wrote a number on the table: "We are willing to pay this price."
"Okay." Gao Dazhuang still had no objection.
"Very good." Wen Liunian nodded, and then took out a stack of papers from his pocket and handed them over, "If there is no problem, the deal will be concluded."
"When will you give us the money?" Gao Dazhuang asked.
"The deposit is 30%, and the remaining 70% will be paid after your Excellency tells you the secret recipe and we weave exactly the same fabric." Wen Liunian said, "When doing business with the imperial court, naturally you are not afraid of breaking the contract and keeping your promises. You don't have to worry about it."
Gao Dazhuang said: "The secret recipe can be given to Sir now, when will the money be given to us?"
"Don't you discuss it with the rest of your companions first?" Wen Liunian reminded.
"No need." Gao Dazhuang said, "We discussed it last night."
"He's really a straightforward person." Wen Liunian stood up, "Then I'll go back and report to the Emperor, and I will be able to call you into the palace to meet the saint in about three days."
"Going to the palace again?" The other party was very vigilant.
"It is a great honor to be able to enter the palace to face the saint." Wen Liunian said, "Besides, the emperor sincerely wants to do business, the money is not small, so naturally I have to meet all of you in person to be at ease."
"Must we go?" Gao Dazhuang asked.
"We must go." Wen Liunian smiled.
"But we don't speak Chinese, so what if we meet the emperor?" Gao Dazhuang frowned.
"The monarchs of the dependent countries don't speak Chinese, but they still have fun when they get together." Wen Liunian said, "There are still many delicacies to eat, why not?"
Gao Dazhuang just wanted to find an excuse to discuss with his companions, but Wen Liunian had already changed the subject: "Speaking of which, I don't seem to have asked where you are from?"
Gao Dazhuang said: "It's not worth mentioning for a small country."
"No matter how young you are, you have to have a name." Wen Liunian continued.
Gao Dazhuang shook his head: "We don't want to talk about the sad place."
Wen Liunian smiled: "But I must ask."
"My lord!" Gao Dazhuang was obviously dissatisfied.
"Or it's not me who wants to ask, but the emperor wants to ask." Wen Liunian said, "We are in a different place, if your Excellency wants to do a big business with me, but you don't even know where I come from, how can you feel at ease?" silver?"
"We guarantee that we will be able to weave cloth." Gao Dazhuang said.
"Guarantee this kind of thing, anyone can tell it if you touch your mouth." Wen Liunian said, "Besides, since you all want to enter the palace to meet the saint, according to the rules, you also need to register your origin and name."
Gao Dazhuang's chest tightness, listening to what he said, it seems that he wants to enter the palace on his own initiative.
"So where is your Excellency from?" Wen Liunian asked again, "I said it earlier, so I can return to my command sooner."
"My lord, wait a moment." Gao Dazhuang stood up and hurried out of the room, fearing that he would be pulled back if it was too late.
Zhao Yue frowned slightly, this man's behavior was indeed a bit strange.
Although Xiang Lie was a little confused about what Wen Liunian wanted to do, he knew that he was always reliable, so he didn't ask any further questions, and kept sitting on the chair with the knife in his hand, but he couldn't help wondering what happened to your lord today. Sitting still is not stable, constantly changing positions.
Zhao Yue looked at the tiny beads of sweat on his forehead, and felt distressed in his heart. Just as he was about to capture Gao Dazhuang back, the other party turned back by himself: "We come from a small island in Nanyang."
"What about the name?" Wen Liunian had the spirit of breaking the casserole.
Gao Dazhuang said: "Lu Ye Island."
Wen Liunian rubbed his chin: "Sure enough, I haven't heard of it."
Gao Dazhuang: "..."
Then you have to ask!
Wen Liunian didn't intend to stop there, and began to carefully question the names and ages of several people one by one, and even wrote down whether there was a wife in the family. Seeing that Gao Dazhuang was impatient, he promptly reminded: "If If you don't cooperate, you won't be able to enter the palace to face the saint, and if you can't face the saint, then the business will be ruined."
Gao Dazhuang had no choice but to sit back blankly and said, "I don't have a wife."
"I didn't marry a wife." Wen Liunian repeated, "I'm not young anymore, it's better to get married earlier."
Although Gao Dazhuang was silent, everyone could see that he was probably angry in his heart—but then again, anyone who was questioned deeply by such eight generations of ancestors would probably be angry.
The further back, Xiang Lie became more and more puzzled. Although entering the palace is a big deal, but the emperor's kung fu is not weak, and there are countless bodyguards and shadow guards around him to protect him. Even if the lord wants to be on the safe side, the questioning is too careful—even if someone else's father is satisfied? Concubines have to take care of? It's not so much cross-examination, it's better to say that the seven aunts and eight aunts are chatting about homework, asking whatever comes to mind.
An hour later, Wen Liunian coughed twice, stretched out his hand to rub his throat, and finally said, "That's all for now."
Gao Dazhuang breathed a sigh of relief, it was finally over.
Then I heard him add another sentence: "If you think of something later, just continue to add it."
Gao Dazhuang stared wide-eyed, do you want to continue
"Farewell." Wen Liunian stood up, visibly stiff.
Zhao Yue held him in his arms.
Wen Liunian was still praising: "Your Excellency is really sincere in doing business."
"My lord, thank you." Gao Dazhuang was expressionless, he just wanted to send these people away quickly.
It was noon when the three of them went out, and the sun was so hot that it was inconvenient to hurry, so they went to the teahouse where they sat and rested for a while before drinking a pot of tea—they kept talking, and Wen Liunian's throat had long been dry fire.
"May I ask you something?" As soon as he sat down, Xiang Lie asked, obviously holding back for a long time.
"Commander Xiang wanted to ask me, why do I talk so much nonsense?" Wen Liunian put down his teacup.
Xiang Lie paused, it turned out that it was really nonsense, and he thought there was another mystery in it.
"Because only nonsense can tell whether the other party is lying or not." Wen Liunian smiled, "It's like a liar who sells tree roots as ginseng on the street. He will only make up in advance how he got this ginseng, but he won't Make up in advance the names of your neighbors who are married or not, because there is no need, once someone asks you suddenly, you will definitely hesitate for a while."
"My lord suspects that they are liars?" Xiang Lie frowned.
"I'll ask you a question, please answer me quickly." Wen Liunian said, "Is there any cousin in the family, how old is he, and what is he doing?"
"Yes, Wang An, the chief coach of the martial arts school." Xiang Lie said.
"You see, because it is the most familiar thing around me, I can say it quickly without thinking too much." Wen Liunian said, "But the other party is obviously not like this. When answering every question, there will be a question." Pause, and there are a few glaring inconsistencies."
Xiang Lie was surprised: "Can adults remember all of them?"
"Naturally." Wen Liunian moved his butt again, although he was a little uneasy sitting still, but luckily it didn't disturb his head.
Zhao Yue: "..."
"Lu Ye Island, there is indeed such a small island in Nanyang." Wen Liunian continued, "But firstly, it's not an important traffic route, and secondly, there are no rare special products on the island, so there are very few records."
"What's the problem?" Xiang Lie asked again.
"If it's from Luye Island, there should be no inconvenience to mention it. Chu State only exchanges spices and tea with several larger countries in Southeast Asia, and this kind of small island rarely deals with it." Wen Liunian said, "There is no need to hide it. .”
"Those thin men do look like fishermen." Xiang Lie said.
"Fishermen are not only found in the South China Sea." Wen Liunian said slowly, "There are also East China Sea."
Xiang Lie was startled for a moment: "What does your lord mean?"
"The middle-aged man who was surrounded by singers appeared at the same time as this group of jugglers." Wen Liunian said, "It may not be related, but it may not be unrelated."
Xiang Lie frowned: "If that's the case, then it has something to do with King Daming again. It's better to have conclusive evidence."
"When we visited yesterday, this group of people seemed extremely unwilling to do business with us, and their tempers became more and more irritable." Wen Liunian said.
Xiang Lie nodded: "Indeed."
"But today he agreed very readily." Wen Liunian put down the teacup.
Xiang Lie said fluently: "That's because your words are well-founded and convincing." After all, he is also in the officialdom.
"If you are affected by what I said yesterday, you should be extremely unwilling in your heart, especially if you have a bad temper." Wen Liunian said, "But today I deliberately provoked him and forced him to say something. When there are a lot of useless things, as long as you mention that if you are unwilling to cooperate, you will not be able to make a deal, and you will soon compromise on convenience, don’t Commander Xiang feel that there is some inconsistency?”
"This..." Xiang Lie recalled it for a while, and felt that it was indeed the case.
"It's unreasonable, right? No one will be threatened by something they don't want to do." Wen Liunian said, "But if you think about it in another direction, the other party is actually very willing to do business with us. Yesterday he just acted on purpose, so that's it." Much more reasonable."
Xiang Lie shook his head: "This matter is not simple, I'm afraid I have to go back to the palace to report to the emperor immediately."
"Okay." Wen Liunian stood up stiffly.
Xiang Lie: "..."
"Can Commander Xiang enter the palace alone first?" Zhao Yue supported him, "I haven't recovered from heatstroke, and I haven't taken the medicine I decocted today."
"Naturally, I'm not in a hurry for this moment." Xiang Lie agreed, "Then I'll go back first."
Wen Liunian nodded, watched him leave the private room, and then heaved a sigh of relief, lying in Zhao Yue's arms.
"Shall we go home too?" Zhao Yue rubbed his head, "Take some medicine and sleep, and then enter the palace."
"Do you know what to do now?" Wen Liunian looked up at him.
"Huh?" Zhao Yue was a little puzzled at first, thought for a while, bowed his head and kissed him.
"It's not about this." Wen Liunian licked his lips, although a kiss is also good, but there are more important things to do, "Hurry up and find that mysterious man. big."
Zhao Yue was slightly stiff.
"Kiss again." Wen Liunian leaned over, the time was short.
Zhao Yue couldn't laugh or cry, and kissed him again on the lips.
"But don't worry too much." Wen Liunian sat in his arms and changed into a more comfortable position, "The mysterious man probably won't reveal your identity easily, otherwise he wouldn't bother trying to kill you."
"What's the reason?" Zhao Yue asked.
"Whether it's Qing Qiu or Li Jiao, what they want is your identity, not you." Wen Liunian said, "The only way is to let you disappear quietly, and then find a new puppet to replace you. Only then will they make it public openly, and then use the fake Zhao Yue to achieve their goals. Now if people know that you are Zhao Yue, all previous efforts will be in vain, and the other party will not be reconciled."
Zhao Yue nodded: "Yes."
"Don't be too tired." Wen Liunian patted his side face, "Go out to practice in the middle of the night, I really don't know."
"I don't need to sleep for too long." Zhao Yue helped him straighten his hair.
"That doesn't work either." Wen Liunian insisted, "Look at me by the bed when you wake up."
Zhao Yue laughed out loud: "Okay."
The two of them rested in the tea house for a while before returning to the Shang Mansion together. Passing through the center of the city on the way, he saw a lot of craftsmen standing on top of a wooden building in front of him, working with hammers and saws. It was very busy, so Wen Liunian stretched his neck curiously: "Is this a new restaurant?" Surprised, "Why is the second master here?"
"Lu Zhui will be there naturally." Zhao Yue said, "I bought this restaurant."
"Buy it?" Wen Liunian opened his eyes wide, "Why didn't I know when it happened?"
"You don't need to know." Zhao Yue said, "Just wait until it opens and eat."
"Is the cook ready?" Wen Liunian was very concerned about this issue.
"Please, I dug it from the Diecui Pavilion." Zhao Yue said, "Next time you want to eat sweet-scented osmanthus stewed goose, you don't have to wait in line."
"Very good, very good." Lord Wen was very satisfied.
Lu Zhui held the blueprints and inspected them while supervising the work, sweating profusely.
"Second Master Lu." A young servant ran over, holding a large bowl of sour plum tea in his hand, "The weather is so hot, let's vent our anger first."
"Thank you." Lu Zhui touched the silver, and the servant waved his hand and said, "The first master Zhao has already paid, and the second master can just drink it."
Lu Zhui was stunned for a moment: "Is the big master here just now?"
"Yeah, I just left." The boy said, "And let the little one pass the word, saying that the second master has worked hard."
Lu Zhui's chest felt tight, and he passed by just to see if he could have some snacks, it was clearly Chaomuya's business.
It's really brothers like clothes.
"Your Excellency is back." In the brocade workshop, Mu Qingshan was still reading the ledger and drinking tea in the courtyard, "Is your illness better?"
"It's much better." Wen Liunian said calmly, "Thank you, master, for your concern."
"Guardian Zuo's medicine is really good." Mu Qingshan touched the temperature of his forehead again, and told him, "Master, you must continue to rub it."
Wen Liunian smiled: "Yes."
Zhao Yue hugged him and strode back to the bedroom.
Wen Liunian said quietly, "If you dare to laugh—"
"Of course I can't laugh." Zhao Yue raised his hand and swore.
Wen Liunian kicked off his shoes, gave up on himself and lay down on the bed waiting for the medicine to be applied.
It is actually quite good to enter the state of an old couple who have been married for decades in advance.
In a deep underground dark room in Wangcheng, the middle-aged man who had bought a brothel song shop with a big sum of money before was sitting at the table, drinking tea slowly - everything was as Wen Liunian guessed, this person was the soul-destroyer of Wang Yun of the Ming Dynasty. His subordinate, Qingqiu, is also the mastermind behind the Mujiazhuang brothers.
"Master." The subordinate stood beside him, "Zhao Yue went out with Wen Liunian today, and President Xiang Lie of the Imperial Forest Army was beside him."
"So why didn't you make a move?" Qingqiu spoke very slowly, and her tone was a bit gloomy, she was completely different from her previous appearance in the brothel.
The subordinate bowed his head in silence.
"Get rid of him earlier so that the plan can be carried out earlier." Qingqiu said, "If it is delayed, then the trouble will be serious."
"The subordinates know."
"After a while, there will be many people coming to this royal city. The rest of the soldiers and shrimps are nothing to be afraid of, but Qin Shaoyu can't be careless." Qingqiu said, "It is said that there is Mu Jue, the monarch of the Qijue Kingdom who has a good relationship with the Shadow Chasing Palace. The cold night is not a good stubble."
"But Zhao Yue's martial arts are not low." The subordinate said, "If you want to kill him quietly, I'm afraid it will be difficult."
"It's best to be silent, but if you can't be silent, then you have to take a step back." The middle-aged man stood up with a stern expression, "No matter what method is used, I only want his life!"
"Yes." The subordinate took orders in a low voice and exited the darkroom.
In the afternoon, Wen Liunian pushed the quilt away and sat up, dazedly reached out to grab the clothes to put on, but accidentally scratched the handsome face of the boss.
Zhao Yue held his wrist and leaned to his lips to kiss him.
"Don't make trouble." Wen Liunian yawned, "It's time for me to enter the palace."
"The emperor didn't send anyone to look for it." Zhao Yue said, "Why don't you go today?"
"It's about King Daming, the emperor can't really feel at ease." Wen Liunian said, "Instead of being called into the palace at night, it's better to go now, maybe you can have a good time—"
"No!" Zhao Yue frowned.
"Then I can come back to sleep earlier." Wen Liunian muttered.
Zhao Yue said: "Go after dinner."
Wen Liunian's eyes sparkled.
"Go after dinner." Zhao Yue didn't relax at all.
Wen Liunian: "..."
But Yuchu can make braised elbows, which are as big as the face.
"My lord, are you awake?" Mu Qingshan said from the window, "Eunuch Sixi is here again."
"Look, there's nothing you can do about it." Wen Liunian said calmly, but he couldn't wait, so he put on his shoes and ran outside.
Greasy big elbow.
"Slow down." Zhao Yue didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and took a few steps to follow him.
"My lord." Eunuch Sixi was drinking tea in the front hall.
The servants were all feeling that since Mrs. Wen moved to Brocade Workshop, Eunuch Sixi almost drank all the tea bought by Shopkeeper Wang.
"Forgive me, father-in-law, I am late." Wen Liunian was polite, and then straightened his clothes, "We will enter the palace right now."
"It's not in a hurry." Eunuch Sixi said hurriedly.
Why don't you worry, it's time for dinner, and I didn't eat at noon, Wen Liunian swallowed.
Then I listened to Si Xi's fairness, "The emperor ordered before leaving the house to let the adults eat dinner at home before entering the palace."
Wen Liunian paused for a moment, then continued to fight: "Actually, you can also go to the palace to eat, it's better not to delay the business."
Zhao Yue is funny.
"That's impossible." Eunuch Sixi shook his head repeatedly, "The emperor said that we can only eat in the palace after Mr. Wen recovers from his illness this time. Now we can only eat at home, so as not to make the head of the family angry."
Wen Liunian was full of reluctance, really couldn't eat elbows.
Zhao Yue nodded: "Thank you, father-in-law."
"Master, you are being polite, hurry up and take your lord to dinner." Eunuch Sixi sat back in his chair, "I'll have another cup of tea, don't worry."
A moment later, Wen Liunian was sitting in the dining room with mournful eyes and a vegetable dangling from his mouth. The emperor had made it clear earlier that he could go to the palace to eat at any time. Where is the trust
Zhao Yue helped him blow cold porridge and rice, and fed him spoonful by spoonful.
It’s really the emperor’s job... Usually, big fish and big meat feed people happily, and when you’re sick, you have to coax people to eat medicine porridge and leave it to yourself. run.
Thinking of the last time he met in a hurry, Zhao Yue shook his head in his heart, he really is a master who will not suffer.
