She took a deep breath, and jokingly broke the silence: she didn't know if she could return to Beijing in full.

Mu Sheng stood leaning against the window, holding a cup of tea in her hand. The tea soup was clear and smoke was curling up. Behind the hot and humid smoke, one glance at her delicate and gentle face was like a fairy from the world.At this time, she turned her head, glanced at Cui Yunji, and said with a light smile: "If you are afraid, you won't come."

Quiet tone, no pressure.Cui Yunji suddenly understood why His Majesty was attracted to her, maybe it was her always indifferent temperament?She was thinking like this, and unconsciously began to speak: Your Majesty once said that you are good at everything, but you are too forbearing.

Mu Sheng's hand trembled, the tea in the cup splashed out and landed on her slender white fingers, causing scorching pain.

Cui Yunji continued: Forcing you to do something you don't want to do, just threaten the person you care about the most, no matter how unwilling you are in your heart, you will endure it; also force you to give up something you want to do, as long as there is a way Properly, no matter how reluctant you are, you will eventually endure it.Such a compromised temperament really makes people feel distressed.

Mu Sheng's face turned pale immediately, she frowned slightly, and took a sip of hot tea from her cup.

It was raining outside the window, it was cold and damp, and the green leaves on the side of the street fell to the ground. They were originally spinning with the wind, but after getting wet with rain, they stopped in place.

In this kind of weather, a cup of fragrant hot tea is very precious. However, when Mu Sheng took this particularly precious tea, it seemed a bit spoiled. .

She can't be indifferent, but she can't be like an arrow.His Majesty saw her through, she was just more tolerant than ordinary people.

Cui Yunji was very clever and thought that His Majesty seemed to have told her the words unintentionally, just to use her mouth to tell Mu Sheng. Now she just said it, so she changed the subject and talked about something else: Leave a post for me and invite me to have a banquet at Linjiang Tower tonight.

Mu Sheng broke free from the useless and redundant confusion in an instant: What title was used?A banquet must have a name, what relationship can the salt merchant have with Cui Yunji?Why entertain her?

The name is very high-sounding, saying yes, I am also from the south of the Yangtze River, and now I return to my hometown in fine clothes, they are honored, and they want to clean up the dust for me.The corners of Cui Yunji's eyes twitched, her indescribable charm flowed, I've been here for half a month, and I don't know what kind of style I'm picking up, what kind of dust I'm washing off.

Master Cui was quite disdainful of these cats and dogs, raised his chin, and said: I can't waste their kindness in vain, so I agreed.

He came from a prominent background, achieved success at a young age, won the first prize, and rose to the top of his career.No matter how transparent and tactful Cui Yunji is, she can't hide the dignity and arrogance in her bones.

Mu Sheng had acquainted with those salt merchants, and he knew that their methods were bad and they would do everything they could. Hearing what Cui Yunji said, he had an extremely ominous premonition, why did they entertain Cui Yunji for no reason?This is undoubtedly a Hongmen banquet.Mu Sheng said decisively: I will go with you.

She had good intentions, Cui Yunji appreciated it, she stood up, said with a smile: "No need, since you just invited me, you just deal with my situation alone, if you go, what if they can't use it?"

These salt merchants are very cunning, and they have been silent for a long time. When will they return to Beijing?It's just to see who can lose his temper first, and who will show his feet first.

After she finished speaking, Shi Shi left without waiting for Mu Sheng's objection.

After thinking that tonight would be a Hongmen banquet, Cui Yunji was still fascinated by the brightly lit and bustling scene in front of Linjiang Tower when she walked to Linjiang Tower.

She smiled slightly, and walked in with two servants.

Zhao Cheng and Liu Huimin were standing in the lobby. When they saw her coming in, they hurried forward with smiles.

Seeing each other, Cui Yunji sized up the visitor, seemingly unintentionally said: I heard that the Lin'an salt merchants are headed by four, why are there just you two today, and Lin Tan and Huang Yongji?

Liu Huimin promised not to speak indiscriminately today, and now it is Zhao Cheng who answers: Lin Tan's family is in trouble, as for Huang Yongji, he smiled and said, there are scholars in his family, and he probably disdains to be with us.

Cui Yunji's eyes flickered slightly.Zhao Cheng hurriedly said, "My lord, please."

The lobby was overcrowded and full of voices, and the bright lights illuminated the whole building as if it were daytime. Such a scene of glamorous luxury, but at this time it is reassuring for no reason.

The well-dressed steward led the way, Zhao Cheng and Liu Huimin accompanied the guests behind, and the group walked into the private room on the second floor.

The elegant room is worthy of the word elegant, and the arrangement is very suitable for Cui Yunji. She looked around and was allowed to sit in the main seat. guest.

After drinking three rounds of wine quietly, Cui Yunji felt very at ease.

Liu Huimin cursed inwardly, the world is wrong, even women can be slaughtered for officials, and now, the banquet is clean, and even a flower girl who accompanies the wine is not allowed to attend, there is no way to talk about business.With such a serious atmosphere, how should he start?

The three of them talked lively for half the night, and finally got to the point.Liu Huimin took out a red sandalwood box and pushed it in front of Cui Yunji.
