Fight the Giants

  Chapter 346 Is treason

  At the gate of Qinzheng Hall, Mu Yan stood upright, looking forward.

  The commander hurried into the hall, but Mu Yan only glanced at him without moving his head.

  After an hour, the commanding officer withdrew from the hall and hurried away again.

   After a cup of tea, Emperor Yongkang walked out of the hall, followed by two eunuchs, one old and one young. Emperor Yongkang walked a few steps, turned his head and glanced at Mu Yan: "You also follow."

   "Yes." Mu Yan answered with a bow.

   A group of people walked to the imperial garden.

  The imperial garden is full of autumn, and the gardeners in the palace are very skillful, and the flowers of all colors are blooming brightly and fragrantly.

  But Emperor Yongkang frowned.

   "Mu Bin, do you think Mr. Mu is plotting treason?"

  Mu Yan's breathing was stagnant, and he took two breaths: "I dare not talk about government affairs."

   "May I say a few words."

  Mu Yan guessed the meaning of Emperor Yongkang, His Majesty seized the throne from his nephew, killed many old ministers of the former court for the crime of treason, and implicated countless people. I hate treason the most.

  Just an illiterate farmer in the countryside, plotting rebellion?

  He knew that he should agree with His Majesty, but he couldn't bear it, "I heard that Mr. Mu is illiterate, and he has been a poor farmer in the countryside for several lifetimes..."

  Emperor Yongkang glanced at him leisurely: "Illiterate? Then why did you name the latrine run by your family 'Qiyantang'?" It was still used in that stinky place. Thinking of it, he was shocked.

   "I don't know." Mu Yan lowered his eyes.

  Emperor Yongkang glanced at him indifferently, "I forgot, your surname is also Mu, although the characters are different, but the pronunciation is the same."

  Mu Yan froze, plopped and knelt down: "Your Majesty's heart can be learned from the sky!"

  Emperor Yongkang gave him a little help: "What are you doing? It scares you. Get up quickly."

  Mu Yan stood up, followed behind with downcast eyes, not daring to say another word.

   Finally returned to the capital. Huo Xi let out a comfortable sigh on the pier.

   "Xi'er!"

"uncle!"

  Yang Fu, who got the news, hurried over with his buddy, strode up to Huo Xi, looked her up and down, and was relieved to see that she looked well.

   "Why did it take so long?"

   "Stay in Ningbo for a few more days. I'll tell you later. You can arrange unloading with Shopkeeper Shen first."

  Yang Fu nodded, then went to Shen Qianzhong's side to say hello, and after explaining the hard work, the two ordered their assistants to unload and load the goods.

   "Huo Dong's family, let's take our leave now."

  Lei Da brought a group of bodyguards to bid farewell. This trip not only made a lot of money in darts, but also gained a lot of knowledge along the way. Lei Da wished he could stay longer.

   "Lei Escort, thank you for taking care of me all the way, you have worked hard, and I will look for you next time. I wish you a prosperous business."

   "Borrowing the good words of Huo Dong's family, as long as Huo Dong's family speaks, I will be ready to be summoned at any time." Lei Da cupped his hands and left with a group of men.

  Shen Qianzhong followed and saw him off, "Boss, you go back first, as long as Yang Fu and I are here."

   "Okay, then I'll go back. You can tell Langguang Pavilion to pick up the goods, so as to save us the trouble of loading them into the warehouse."

"good."

  Huo Xi took the two maids and returned to the house in Qionghua Lane with a bunch of things. Yang Fu glanced at it and smiled, this girl went to Ningbo and took in two maids.

  Auntie Zou was very happy to see her come back, and went to the kitchen to serve her a bowl of noodles, vanilla and Xia He, and hurried in to help.

  Huo Xi wasn't hungry, but it wasn't good enough for the old man's kindness, and he ate with a noodle bowl. Grandma Zou watched her eat with a smile: "These two maids are well received, they are both good girls and hardworking."

   "They are newcomers, and Grandma helps them get acquainted."

   "Don't worry, grandma can save you. Just come back. Your father will come the next day. Seeing that you are not here, he is so worried that he should go with you."

   "My dad will come every other day?"

"That's not right. Even your mother comes here every three to five days with her stomach full. She misses you." Touching the cotton cloth that Huo Xi bought for her, with a smile on her lips, she was thinking of making two suits for the old man and grandson clothes.

  By the time Huo Xi woke up after taking a nap, Vanilla and Xia He had already learned about the situation at home, and went to the workshop.

"Miss, I didn't expect the velvet flowers, fans, and handkerchiefs made by the workshop to be so beautiful! Can the servants also get work to make?" Xiang Cao said with an excited face. She has never been to the capital. The good things in the capital That's a lot.

Huo Xi glanced at the two of them, and saw that Xia He also had a look of eagerness to move, and said with a smile: "Xia He's job is to save money to support the family, why are you saving money, to send it to your stepmother? "

   "I won't send it to them! They sold me and already got the money. They also took the money my grandfather left me, so I won't give them the money!" Vanilla looked angry.

   "I forgot to ask you, your grandfather is a powerful boat master, it's impossible that he didn't save some family wealth, and don't leave something for you?" Why sell yourself to others.

  Xiangcao looked sad: "Grandpa saved a lot of money and bought me land, saying that it will be my dowry in the future. Unexpectedly, as soon as grandpa left, the family said that grandpa was extinct and the wealth should be left to the family."

  Uh... this is a fortune.

  Huo Xi sighed with emotion, and couldn't help but pray that her mother must give birth to a younger brother this time, otherwise the land bought by her parents will still be separated from the Huo family.

  Huo Xi patted Vanilla on the shoulder and said a few words of comfort: "In the future, I will save money for myself as a dowry. We don't rely on others, but ourselves."

   "Yes." Vanilla nodded fiercely, and Xia He also nodded seriously.

   "Let's go, let's go to the workshop. In the future, you can come here whenever you have time, and you can also take jobs and save money."

   "Well, miss, we all have five taels of silver, right? If you save a few more taels, you can buy an acre of fertile land!"

   "Then you have to work hard."

   "En!" The two maids nodded excitedly.

  In the workshop, Qin Huaiyu was leading thirty or so female workers to work.

  After learning that a great Confucianist had come to Qionghua Lane, the door of the workshop was almost broken down. There was an endless stream of people who came to ask for advice, making Qin Changzhi very annoyed. Even Xiu Mu hid in the academy.

  Mr. couldn't see him, so he asked the women in the family to come to the workshop to do the work, hoping to get in touch with Qin Huaiyu.

  Qin Huaiyu got the post of steward, and now he is more and more handy.

  She came from a wealthy family, and she has also learned these things from the subordinates of Zhongfu management. Isn't it easy to deal with a group of young ladies and women?

  Choose a few good ones and put them in the workshop. The rest were rejected, and they were only asked to pick up the materials and go back to make them, and hand them in after they were finished.

  The people living in Qionghua Lane are all scholars, even the women are more bookish, and the things they make are naturally more spiritual than those made by ordinary women.

   There are also scholars who continue to provide manuscripts, calligraphy and paintings, embroidery samples in the workshop, and drawings that are never missing, and they are full of new ideas.

  The work done is sold very well when it comes to takeout. When sold to Fanren, the price was higher than others.

  Huo Xi came in with two maidservants, and saw a harmonious scene. It could be seen that Qin Huaiyu, the manager, took care of her carefully, and Huo Xi was satisfied.
