Drunk old voice

ebb and flow

According to Eunuch Zhang's instructions, Mu Feng focused on the news of the other houses in Luoshi Street.Who doesn't have two friends from other families at the end of the street? Mu Feng not only inquired in the Shengping Pavilion, but also sent Ran Qiu to make friends everywhere.Ran Qiu is gentle and doesn't like to show off, and he is quite senior, so he is a good candidate.

As for how to report to Eunuch Zhang, there must be some consideration.Behind Yang Liuxin is the local tycoon. Under Emperor Liang's repeated suppression, he rarely took any action. After the murder in the brothel, he has been quiet.Miaoyinfang has frequent changes, but it is the eyes and ears of the Jiangzuo League. Of course, Mu Feng has to be reserved.As for Hongxiu Zhao, he was originally from a foreign race, and he was also the arm of a famous king, so he knew everything about it.

At the end of July, people in central Beijing no longer banned marriages and entertainment, and the Shengping Pavilion also began to welcome guests.It's just that without the top dignitaries, it's always almost meaningless.However, Fang Chun, who has the title of oiran, still harvests countless ministers under her skirt, wealthy businessmen, customers come like clouds, and flowers bloom.Luan'er followed with a bright face, and was not so upset about Mu Feng's promotion.

Su's house had to be in touch, Eunuch Zhang's errands had to be done, and the sisters in the house couldn't be ignored.Mu Feng went to Fuqing Tower to pick up a box of hair combs ordered a few days ago, mahogany, gilt, glazed, ox horn, etc. Although not expensive, they are exquisite.Distributed to everyone in the museum, even Suwan got a boxwood comb with carved figures.Yesterday I went to Luan'er's place, and today Mu Feng brought a pair of gold-plated turquoise hair combs to see Aunt Qing.

Seeing Mu Feng, Aunt Qing asked, "You are so busy every day, why do you have time to come to my place today?"

"Isn't this here to give Aunt Qing a gift?" Mu Feng said, and handed over the box containing the hair comb.

"It's for no reason, what kind of gift is it?" Aunt Qing took it, opened it for a look, and put it aside, not caring.

"Look at what you said, it will be the Mid-Autumn Festival in a few days." There are reasons at any time, but Mu Feng also elicited the real intention, "But I don't tell lies with you, Mu Feng, because Mu Feng is afraid of offending Aunt Ping An errand, I can't convince the crowd."

"You were the youngest in the first place, but you surpassed everyone. Who wouldn't have murmured in your heart? If it weren't for your popularity, Pinggu and Hongxiu would have talked about it in front of you." Aunt Qing didn't just say good things, and no one stopped I can't help feeling uncomfortable in other people's hearts.

"Although I'm not talented, Mu Feng has no room to refuse me if I'm not good enough." Mu Feng didn't come here to show weakness.

"It's not like they didn't feel complacent once they were emperors and courtiers." Of course, Aunt Qing knew that Mu Feng was not weak and hopeful.

"That's the reason. Mu Feng is not complaining. This job is not easy, so we have to do our best. If there is a mistake, whether Mu Feng is good or bad, it's just a matter of the above sentence." Mu Feng also needs to explain that he is not just promotion.

Aunt Qing waved her hand, "You don't need to go into details, I understand that when a new official takes office, there are three fires, the top one opens his mouth, and the bottom one must not break his leg."

"At the end of the day, it's all due to other people's work. No matter what, I'm just waiting for this. What's the future? The people in the museum are kind and friendly, and Mu Feng doesn't want to be blamed while doing something." The meaning is to let Aunt Qing stand by her side.

Aunt Qing will not let go easily, "Aunt Qing also watched you grow up, and loves you, but you also know that Pinggu and Hongxiu are not good friends."

Since it's a wooing, I can't just talk about it, "That's why I asked Aunt Qing and Sister Luan'er to help me. The shop buys gold and silver jewelry and clothes and fabrics. I really can't take care of them." These two things are the most oily, It's not that Mu Feng doesn't feel bad, but there's still the incident in Fuqinglou, and managing servants is an indispensable part of grasping the news here, so that's all there is to it.

Aunt Qing showed a very satisfied smile, and said: "That's right, I don't see you in the sky. You've already said this, how can you not help me."

"Sister Luan'er already informed yesterday, and Mu Feng from the curator will ask for instructions in a while, and Aunt Qing will let you know about the others." Mu Feng from Luan'er has already made an agreement, and the matter of giving money is naturally easy to handle, the curator There will be no objection there.

"Come on, I'll do it for you, I won't accept your comb for nothing." Aunt Qing was talking about stopping Pinggu and Hongxiu.

"I'm sorry, Aunt Qing." Mu Feng was also satisfied, believing that Aunt Ping and Hongxiu would have no chance to make trouble for her.

In the middle of summer, Mu Feng took Ren Geng out early, and went all over the West Market to find two jars of Luofuchun wine before going to the famous teahouse to wait for Feng Shou.

The two had heard of each other for a long time, and it was the first time they met.

"Hello, Mrs. Feng, I've always wanted to see you, but I never had the chance." Greetings first.

Feng Shou smiled a little when he saw someone, and said, "I've heard about Miss Mu Feng for a long time, and we got such a good deal thanks to the girl's help."

"This is also a coincidence, there is no stumbling block, and I have lived up to my father-in-law's trust." Mu Feng was modest.

Only then did Feng Shou get to the point, "Now you are also under Master's command. Today, I got to know each other, and it is convenient to meet, so I don't need to go through Xu Lu's hands."

"Eunuch Xu still manages the Shengping Hall after all, so Mu Feng can't disregard his wishes." But Mu Feng couldn't rush to agree, not for friendship, but for Xu Lu.With the abilities of Eunuch Zhang and Feng Shou, although it will be a matter of time to kick Xu Lu away, it can be delayed by a day.

Feng Shou listened to the wind and said along the way, "You're thinking about it, I'm not someone who crosses rivers and destroys bridges. He deserves a lot, but there's no need for more trouble."

"Mu Feng understands. But do it slowly."

Feng Shou was not in such a hurry, and talked about another matter, "I naturally trust you, let me tell you, the news these few times was timely, and Master is very satisfied with you, saying that Master knows about the hard work of these two months. .”

"It's lucky that nothing happened. I heard that my father-in-law is good wine, so I happened to have a jar of Luo Fuchun, and my father-in-law took it back to taste it." The news about the capital bureau was sent by the people in charge of the bank, so it was clear at a glance who was the confidant.

"It's just such a small hobby, so it's disrespectful." Feng Shou is satisfied, this Mu Feng is also smart and understanding.

"It's good that the father-in-law can see it."

"This is a rare good wine."

The two talked happily and got satisfactory answers.

In September, Zhang Gonggong did not come, but Xu Lu was sent.Mu Feng sent information to the palace every now and then, and got satisfactory evaluations, so he didn't need to wait for the opportunity of inspection. Except for asking about the election of the oiran, Xu Lu was doing everything routinely.

In the past month, Xu Lu had been feeling uneasy. Feng Shou and him competed to perform in front of Eunuch Zhang.So I wondered if I could gather some new gadgets outside the palace to give Eunuch Zhang a backup gift.

When it comes to who Xu Lu outside the palace has the closest relationship with, there is no second person.So I asked Mu Feng to come and see for details.

"Mu Feng, I have something to do here. After much deliberation, I still have to trouble you." Feng Shou said.

"After so many years of friendship, the father-in-law's affairs are also Mu Feng's affairs." Mu Feng still wondered what Feng Shou could do.

Xu Lu didn't see him, "Oh, I just like you. You see, Eunuch Zhang was promoted. As for me, when I was new to him, I tried to find some new things to give back to Eunuch Zhang. It's just that because the prince is imprisoned in the palace, People are in panic, and it is not easy to leave the palace at will."

"This is what it should be. Mu Feng can always share his father-in-law's worries outside the palace. In Dongshi and Xishi, Mu Feng will always help him take care of it." This matter is just running errands, there is nothing that cannot be agreed.

Xu Lu said with some embarrassment, "I'm afraid it's too late, Eunuch Zhang's birthday is next month."

Mu Feng didn't need Xu Lu to continue talking, and said, "Then Mu Feng will make a few more trips to the Dongxi Market, so as not to miss the father-in-law's business. There is only one thing, how to send it to you."

"Isn't it possible to deliver letters to the palace?" Xu Lu looked over with a hint of meaning.

Mu Feng also returned a look, "Eunuch Xu, you also said that it was just a letter."

Xu Lu didn't force it, "Well, it's okay, I'll ask Lao Huang for help, just don't have anything that violates taboos." Siyuan Bureau sent melons, fruits and vegetables to the palace every day, and they also had some knowledge in private.

"There is nothing taboo about giving gifts, but gold, silver, jade, and screen decorations." Mu Feng nodded, it seems that everyone in the palace has their own way, and no one can underestimate it.

"That's right, I'll pay you the cost next time." Xu Lu added.

But Mu Feng is not easy to accept, "Eunuch is joking, why use Eunuch to spend money, besides giving Eunuch Zhang his birthday, it is also Mu Feng's kindness."

Feng Shou smiled and said, "I'll spare you for nothing."

"I also have to thank my father-in-law for giving Mu Feng the opportunity to be filial." The money has already been paid, and the words must be said beautifully.

"Then I will definitely convey your filial piety." Feng Shou also agreed.
