Lin Lang, the wood family of the Red Chamber

In the Prince's Mansion of Zhongchang County, which had already been replaced with a new plaque, Tu Yang followed Mu Linlang around like a big dog.It has been nearly ten days since Qiushou's team returned to the capital.Tu Yang hadn't had a proper conversation with Mu Linlang for almost a month, but now that he came here today, he immediately stuck to it.

Mu Linlang let him chatter by his side. During the half a month of autumn hunting, he thought about his fourth brother a lot. He didn't have such a strong feeling when he went to the frontier last year.

"You're not going to deal with your government affairs, what are you doing here?" Mu Linlang said with distaste.

"I've been exhausted for the past month, and Brother Lang still despises me, so sad." Tu Yang held Xizi's heart together, causing Mu Linlang to smile so hard that her eyes narrowed.

Mu Linlang didn't want to pay attention to his trickery, and walked to the dining room on her own.Tu Yang followed immediately.

"Where is this? It's called tired. Have you practiced all these years for nothing? If the emperor's uncle transfers the burden to you in the future, what should you do? By the way, why not Huijun?" The king died, but Concubine Zhen died of a serious illness? Shouldn’t it be Concubine Zhen?”

Tu Yang waved his hands indifferently, "Is there any difference? Concubine Zhen is crazy now, and it's no different from death. As for Concubine Zhen, in the words of Master, it is a long-cherished wish that has been fulfilled for many years. The pillars of the whole person have collapsed, it's no wonder if you don't get sick, after all, when you get old, this disease is fatal."

In the dining room, Mu Qing had already been waiting at the table, Tu Yang very consciously ran to Mu Qing's other side and sat down.There is no rule of "you don't talk about food" at the Mu family's dining table. Anyway, they are usually busy now, and the only time to see each other is during the meal. Some things need to be discussed, and only here.

"It's such a pity that once Concubine Zhen passed away this year, the uncle of the emperor even ordered a concubine to reduce her meal and make-up. There is a noble family in the capital who can't have a feast for a year. Not only can't visit relatives, but even the things for dressing up are less , our 'Wood and Stone Pavilion' has saved a lot of money." Mu Linlang said regretfully.The money of these women is really easy to earn, so their income will be reduced.

Mu Qing couldn't help laughing: "You child, the reason why the emperor brought out a concubine to visit relatives was not because of their natal family's wealth, but also because of the war at the border. Otherwise, as an emperor, how could he do such a thing?" Is there a matter of losing his status? Now that the treasury of the household department is full of you two boys, he will have no worries. In the future, he will not be able to see the concubine visiting relatives. Otherwise, all concubines visiting relatives, It will cost a lot of money and waste money, and it will not be good for him. Besides, isn't there a 'golden jade fate'?"

"I was stunned." Mu Linlang felt a little embarrassed. "By the way, haven't the properties of the foreign kings that Brother Li and the others escorted arrived yet?" If Mu Qing hadn't mentioned the household department, Mu Linlang would have almost forgotten the huge windfall they got outside the Great Wall.

"Soon, it will be there in three days at most. You actually forgot about this matter, what a great experience. [-]% of those are yours!" Tu Yang said with a smile.

"Yeah, it's only [-]%!" Mu Linlang got angry when she mentioned this matter, stretched out her hand, and made a small gesture with her thumb and little finger, "You, uncle and I each get [-]%, and the emperor's uncle actually gets [-]% Go, it's too dark! I got the money so hard!"

"Pfft!" Tu Yang didn't expect Brother Lang, who usually doesn't care about gold and silver, to protect this batch of money.Fortunately, there is nothing in his mouth at this time, otherwise he will make a fool of himself.

Mu Qing couldn't listen anymore, so she reached out and patted Mu Linlang on the head, "What are you thinking about at home all day? Isn't their Tu family's warehouse open in the future, and you can spend it as you like?" ? At that time, you can still see that little money? If you are really greedy, find a good day, go to the sea and follow the newly built navy for two laps, maybe you can get more money than this!"

Tu Yang's eyes brightened, "Master, what do you say?"

Mu Qing said with a smile: "Since the previous dynasty of our Great Zhou, the coastal areas have been subject to the turmoil of the Japanese crown, not only the coastal fishermen fishing, or going out to sea to do business with foreigners, even the merchant ships from other countries who came to trade with the Great Zhou Don’t let it go, they are often robbed by the Japanese. These people dress up as pirates and rob a lot of money. If we can..." Mu Qing didn't go on, as a soldier of the later generations of China, it is deeply rooted in certain countries. Hatred in the bones.For those countries these years, he has already started secretly, and now it is almost time to close the net.

The two teenagers were so excited when they heard this, they wished they could put on their wings and fly to the sea to fight those brainy Japanese.

The three of them speeded up their breakfast and went to the flower hall.

"By the way, Master, after returning from Qiushou, Concubine Xiande became ill, and it became more and more serious every day, and she couldn't even kneel down to Concubine Zhen."

Mu Qing raised her eyes and glanced at him, "What does this matter have to do with me? Is it worth telling me about it here?"

Mu Linlang also looked at him curiously, and Tu Yang felt embarrassed, "Isn't it yesterday that I accidentally heard that the old lady Jia who entered the palace and knelt down was discussing with Concubine Xiande, and wanted to use Brother Lang's relationship, please go ahead." , show her?"

"Yo, they haven't given up yet? They've already made up their minds." Mu Linlang laughed.

"How can it be possible to give up? The temptation of power is beyond your imagination. Now that Prince Hui is dead, among them, there is a daughter in the harem, and she is the only one whose status is not low. If it is possible to give birth to a boy and a half girl, it will also be a help! The seat under the emperor's buttocks is really attractive." Mu Qing said lightly. "It's just that their faces are really big enough. They actually came up with their ideas on me. Fortunately, they still remember that Lang'er is in our Mu family."

"Tch, the Uncle Emperor's seat didn't attract me and my fourth brother!" Mu Linlang said triumphantly.

"That's right, I'm almost exhausted after being a prisoner for a month. If my father didn't want to let me go, I really don't want to be an emperor. I really yearn for the new continent that Master talked about, If there is a chance in the future, I really want to go on a world tour." Tu Yang looked yearning, he was very curious about the world that Mu Qing mentioned to them from time to time, "As for the fact that they would think of asking you to grow old Seeing Concubine Xiande, who in the capital doesn't know that you are an old doctor who knows both divination and divination!" Tu Yang flattered Concubine at the right time, causing Mu Linlang's eyes to narrow.

"No matter how much you can do both in medicine and divination, you can't save people who are destined to die." Mu Qing shook her head.This time, Jia Yuanchun was not sick, but asked Mu Linlang for a debilitating medicine that he newly refined, and poured it on her body.This kind of medicine is colorless and tasteless, and people who are poisoned often don't feel it. People who are poisoned will only think that their health has deteriorated.At least half a year, as long as a year, because of frailty, as long as a small wind and cold, it will turn into a serious illness that kills people.When he dies, he will think that he died of illness.No one would ever think that this was written by his family, Brother Lang.

In fact, this kind of medicine is not unavailable in the harem, it's just that the kind made by Mu Linlang is more unpredictable than the ones on the market today, and the effect of the medicine is more obvious.Looking at it now, it is obvious that it has already shown its effect. In this case, how could it be possible for him to see a doctor for Concubine Xiande, but dismantle Brother Lang's platform?

Three days later, members of the scout battalion of the Northern Expedition Army led by Li Bao escorted the spoils to the capital.

Early this morning, as soon as the city gate guards stationed at the northeast gate of the capital opened the gate, they saw a group of soldiers in neat military uniforms, escorting thirty or so carts, waiting at the gate of the city early.

The guard was startled, the scout battalion today is different from when it just left for the border last year.In order to safely escort the [-]-odd carts of loot back, Li Bao had to recruit some civilians and refugees with excellent qualifications who were willing to join the army, or people from the rivers and lakes to join this team.Now the team that followed him to the capital has more than double the number of people.

Such a large group of people stood in front of the gate of the capital early in the morning, and many of the people here had just come down from the battlefield. The evil aura in their bodies had not dissipated yet. .The guard couldn't help but dared not step forward to stop him, so he quickly closed the city gate again, turned around and went to his boss.

Coincidentally, Feng Tang, the general of Shenwu, came to inspect today, and happened to hear the guard reporting the matter with a captain.Feng Tang felt very strange that some people dared to openly support soldiers in this capital. Don't they know that this is the capital!I can't tolerate them messing around!

"What happened?" Feng Tang walked over and asked.

The captain and the guards turned their heads, but seeing Feng Tang, they immediately saluted, "General Feng."

"Okay, tell me, what happened? Why didn't you open the city gate when the time came?" Feng Tang pointed at the guard.

The guard glanced at the captain, but the captain had no other thoughts. Who would have thought that General Feng would come to inspect them so early today.

The guard didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly repeated what he had just told the captain.

Feng Tang frowned when he heard that, it seemed that this matter was unusual, "Lead the way!" Let the guards lead him to the city wall.

"Who is coming?" Feng Tang stood on the city wall, looking down at the leader Li Bao.

Li Bao looked up at Feng Tang, he really didn't recognize these people in the capital, he just knew that the people above the city wall could make decisions. "Scout Battalion of the Great Army Conquering the North, General Li Bao of the third rank!" Li Bao cupped his hands. After all, he was in the boundary of the capital, so it is always right to have a good attitude.

Feng Tang frowned: "It's a bunch of nonsense, the North Conquering Army came back a month and a half ago, why is there still a North Conquering Army talking about it?!"

Li Bao wasn't angry either. Even Old General Zhang didn't know about their escorting the spoils, let alone these guys who would only stay in the capital to enjoy themselves from the beginning to the end?He reached into his bosom, took out a sign that was neither gold, jade, nor wood, and showed Feng Tang the side with the word "wood" engraved on the front.

"I was ordered by the army to escort a batch of military supplies back to Beijing. The northern border is thousands of miles away from the capital, and the equipment is heavy and heavy, so that it has not arrived in the capital until today. If the general does not believe it, you can send someone to the Chinese division in Beijing to ask. Clearly, it might be the same for the fourth prince's mansion. It's just that the general waited for more than a month to transport the supplies, and it was already many days late. If he didn't enter the city in time to see the emperor, the emperor will blame him at that time. General Possibly?"

Feng Tang didn't believe a word, what kind of supplies needed so many escorts, and looking at the weight of those boxes, and the occasional golden light reflected by the sunlight and snow, Feng Tang couldn't hide it in his heart. jumping wildly.Could the contents of this box be gold, silver and jewels looted from the grasslands?If it is true, then why can't he just let these people go into the capital like this, isn't it the so-called seers have a share?

At this time, Feng Tang had lost his usual calmness and prudence due to the golden light in front of him, but he never thought about why this group of people, traveling all the way from northern Xinjiang, was not worshiped by those along the way. How many layers of skin did the local officials who had plucked their feathers take off?
