All-round way to money

Xiao Yu was nineteen years old when he disappeared.Recently engaged.According to normal development, at the age of 20, he should get married, be crowned king, open a mansion, and go to fiefdom.

He is a self-contained person. He may not be very smart, and he is very salty. He has no dreams and lives by himself, but he is indeed very self-disciplined in his private life, and he has never had this or that other idler around him.His temper is still very good, let's not fight, just easy-going, so his popularity is not bad, he can be said to be the most down-to-earth dignitary in the capital.So, he has a good reputation.In the mouths of the people in the capital, talking about the second prince is like talking about the neighbor's second boy, familiar and kind.

After he disappeared, the emperor and the general went looking for him with great fanfare, and the people were very supportive. A man as good as the second prince must have been framed.Later, for some reason, it was rumored that he was murdered by the third prince, and the third prince became the target of public criticism, and gradually it spread to the ears of the first emperor.The first emperor also felt that the third prince was narrow-minded, not tolerant of others, let alone brotherly love.He can even kill the emperor brother who has no intention of fighting for the crown prince. Isn't that what makes him ascend the throne? Isn't he also an arbitrary and tyrannical king?Soon after, the third prince was named King Li, and he was sealed to the bitter cold place of Youzhou Prefecture connected to Beijing, and asked him to guard the gate of the country, but he did not guard the gate of the country, and became a traitor.

After the new emperor's attack, the second prince became King Ning.Although it has not been found, but the records of the mansion are the first in the dynasty.The common people said behind their backs that it has been five or six years, and the people are probably gone long ago, but they have to say something about the emperor's benevolence and righteousness.

The one who was betrothed to the second prince at the beginning was the daughter of Dali Temple Minister Mu Chongyang. Miss Mu's talent is also well-known in the capital, and she is also the legendary number one beauty in the capital.The emperor, who was the prince at the time, personally helped to choose this marriage, and the princess accompanied Ning Guifei to see each other.

After the disappearance of the second prince, the previous emperor also had a decree. In order not to delay Miss Mu's flowering period, the marriage contract was annulled, and he also intended to accept Miss Mu as a righteous daughter and give her the title of princess.It was Miss Mu who took the initiative to refuse.Insist on fulfilling the marriage contract, waiting at home to get married, waiting for the second prince to return and hold the wedding.Concubine Ning was treated according to the rules of daughter-in-law to mother-in-law.Until half a year ago, when the Holy Majesty ascended the throne and Prince Ning divided the mansion, she was carried into Prince Ning's mansion in a small sedan chair. Although there was no formal wedding, she was already in charge of daily affairs in Prince Ning's mansion, and she was treated like a princess in the mansion. of.Even Ning Li is also called Wangfei.Both the queen mother and the queen loved her very much, and the daily rewards continued.

This is Wanru, Mu Wanru.

The current de facto mistress of Prince Ning's Mansion.

You see, they asked them to do this, and there is no one else.

When Chu Ran first heard the name, he didn't know who it was, and Xiao Yu didn't know either. He knew that the original body had been engaged, but he really didn't know the lady's boudoir name.I also thought that the other party was married early.I really don't know that not only did she not get married, but she also took Ruoda's palace into her hands.

It was the queen who explained in a few words before she knew who she was talking about.

Even after hearing and guessing, Chu Ran spelled out [-]% to [-]% of the truth.

No wonder everyone pretended that she didn't exist.It turned out that they were all thinking of the princess they recognized in their hearts.

Then you go with the princess.

Without further ado, she bowed to the queen mother and the emperor, and said directly, "The woman has already sent King Ning back. Ning Xin is the prince's daughter, and the woman asks herself that she is not qualified to take care of her. Now that the task is completed, the woman should go back." After finishing speaking, he stood up directly, took a look at Xiao Yu, "Your Majesty, take care, don't treat Ning Xin badly."

Turned around and left without listening for another second.

When we arrived at the entrance of the main hall, a beautiful woman dressed in plain clothes ran in in a panic and passed her by. Chu Ran didn't stop, and went out the door directly.I could still hear the crying voice of "My lord..." behind me, "Yu'er..." the queen's cry, and the emperor's cry, "Where are you going?"

She didn't even look back, and when she left the hall, she saw an uncle dressed as a general approaching from the square with an excited expression on his face.Xiao Yu looked five points like his uncle, plus his age and attire, as well as the etiquette of the guards in the Forbidden Palace, it was not difficult to guess that this was Ning Xiao, General Ning.This one should be respected, Chu Ran stood aside and bowed.The general didn't recognize her, so he passed by after a glance.

Well, I don’t know how those spies work. It’s possible that others say they don’t know. If General Ning had no correspondence with Chu Polu, she wouldn’t believe it even if he killed him.Then Ning Xiao must know that his nephew married Chu Polu's daughter, but he doesn't know what she looks like at all?Impressed.

If you don’t know, you don’t know. I wanted to talk to him, give him a message, and help find love. She doesn’t know her, so what else are you looking for?

It was amazing that Chu Ran went out without anyone stopping her.

Not exactly.

At the gate of the palace, I saw a bunch of people waiting.The people from Prince Ning’s Mansion have seen it, and there is another round. Vice Commander Ning was found in the crowd. Chu Ran went straight over and asked for the horse rope he was holding, turned over and got on the horse. You, King Ning, want to buy horse money."

Vice-commander Ning was amazed by Chu Ran's nimble skills. After returning to God's house, he ran several meters away. He chased after him and shouted, "Boss, where are you going?"

"Go home." When the voice list floated over, the horses had already run dozens of meters away.He is a deputy commander anyway, and the horse is really a good horse.He followed behind shouting that the capital can't run horses, and people couldn't hear it for a long time.

Chu Ran ran to the gate of the city in a hurry. The guards guarding the gate knew the emblem of the Imperial Forest Army on the saddle and did not dare to stop him.Straight out of town.

It was getting late, and I would definitely not be able to return to Caonan County that day.Chu Ran didn't mean to rush all night.Passing by a town called Linjing in the middle, I found an inn to stay.

"Ma'am, why did you come back by yourself?" Before this friend came to the inn, when he came to Beijing with the big troops, he also stayed there, so he can stay comfortably.Linjing Town is not like a small town like Qushui Town. It is said to be a town, and it is not as prosperous as Caotan County.The shopkeeper has good eyesight, and he still remembers Chu Ran.

Chu Ran just smiled, "Yes, I have something to do at home, and I am in a hurry to go back. Boss, I want a room. Feed the horse well, and I will leave early tomorrow morning." He took a small piece of silver and came out to book a room.But there is no way to take a silver ingot like in the play, so how can I use the money yesterday.

"Okay, do you want to order?" The boss has a very good attitude and doesn't talk too much.

"No need, just feed the horse." There is a lot of food in the space, besides, the husband and children have been left behind, and the food can still be delicious, is it reasonable?

When I got to the room, I simply washed up and slept in the same clothes, with the slingshot at hand.

In the middle of the night, someone came into the house quietly, and she pretended not to know that she didn't bring any luggage, so she just watched it if she wanted to.The bed curtain was lowered, and the eyeliner was behind her, and she didn't come to the bed and didn't check her, so it didn't matter.

I got up early the next morning and checked the horse and it was fine.

Then I went on my way, speeding up my horse, and at noon, I came back to Yunlai Restaurant.It's full of money, and it's less than ten days away.

Just at the end of the meal, the restaurant is full of customers, very busy.

As soon as Chu Ran entered the door, many guests greeted her, "The shopkeeper is here. Hurry up, I will be greedy for the fried bamboo shoots you made by yourself." "Shopkeeper, why are you here? What are you doing?" I haven't seen anyone for a few days." "Ma'am, when will this month's new dishes be served? How many days have I been here, and I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up."

These are regular customers who come and go often.Yunlai Restaurant serves three new dishes every month, one dish every ten days, without interruption for several years.Some old gourmets compete to see who can taste new dishes first, and neighbors, county government servants, etc. all have their own preferences. Chu Ran doesn't cook much, but when regular customers come, sometimes they bring When guests come or something, I want to order something made by her, and I will do it for face.Hold the face of the guests fully.In fact, the ingredients are the same, and the taste is really similar.

Chu Ran responded one by one, and walked to the backyard.

Father Chu was sitting behind the counter, and when he saw it, his daughter came in by herself.Rub it up and stand up.Knowing that it was not an occasion for questioning, he followed into the backyard, and as soon as he entered the second courtyard, he asked, "Why did you come back by yourself? Jingli...?"

After listening to the sound, Chu Niang also came out from the backyard. During the meal, she was helping to choose vegetables in the backyard.She had already heard Father Chu's question, she didn't ask any more, and just looked at her daughter eagerly.

Chu Ran went straight into the inner room, she also had a room here, and when she entered the room to change clothes, Father Chu followed her in, and as long as she sat in the outer room, Mother Chu followed her in. "There is a queen dowager, empress, and concubine Ning in Beijing who are well remembered by everyone in the palace. Why am I still staying there? Are you still accusing me of being his concubine to serve the mistress? What good things are you thinking about?"

Mother Chu's complexion changed. Before she could get impatient, Father Chu slapped the table in the outer room, "Who? I'll go find him. Bullying people? You already have a wife, why did you agree to be with you?" Family matter?"

Chu Ran raised his voice to return to Father Chu, Xiao Yu's reputation still needs to be maintained, "You can't blame your husband, he has never been married to that one, and they were engaged when they were young. They are the same age. I also said that if the marriage contract is canceled, it is the person who insists on marrying. I have been guarding the Kongwang Mansion. The Queen Mother and the Emperor are grateful for her Zhenlie, and have always treated her as Princess Ning. Ah, yes, Dad, that is Mu Chongyang's daughter, who used to be the minister of Dali Temple, is now the chief assistant of the cabinet, and she is the emperor's most important right-hand man, who is going to find whom?"

As expected, father Chu suppressed all the words he was about to say, what else did he say, who is he, can his small arms twist his thighs?Of those big men above, which one can kill his whole family with a single sentence?

Chu Niang tried several times to open and close, but she didn't say anything else, "Where's the child? Why don't you bring the child back? How much do you expect the stepmother to treat us Ning Xin? It's not that I can't afford it."

"Yes, yes, the child should be brought back." Father Chu also disagreed with throwing the child in the capital.

puff.

This old couple is quick to accept.Chu Ran made them laugh, "Father, mother, what are you two thinking? Your uncle is so untrustworthy? Why bring the child back? She is a princess in the capital, what can she do when she comes back? Sell pork to you ah?"

While talking, I changed my clothes.When I went out, I was wearing good cotton clothes. When I came back to work, I changed into coarse cloth. When I went out, I saw that Chu’s face was so dark that it could scare people to death. That face was enough to scare people. There is no need to make up for facial expressions and pretending to be a ghost.

Hearing what she said, Father Chu's eyes widened, "No, what do you mean? Look down on your father for selling pork? What's wrong with selling pork? I've raised you fat for nothing by selling pork. You ate, and you wear less?"

Mother Chu seemed to understand her daughter's thoughts a little bit, she came out and gave Chu father a look, "Show you are capable? What's so great about you being a butcher? She also pointed out that my granddaughter will find a butcher when she grows up and you will be happy." The girl knows it well, don't worry about it. I don't think my uncle is that ungrateful."

There is no better girl to know than her mother, and she felt that her daughter was not the kind of girl who didn't say anything after suffering a disadvantage.What happened to the prime minister's daughter?As long as my uncle doesn't change his mind, whose daughter will be useless.

Father Chu thought that the old woman was crazy, and he didn't know anything about it.Let's not talk about the family background of the girl, just because she can be chosen as the prince's wife, how can her appearance and temperament be so bad?Take a look at your own daughter again, is she stronger than others in appearance, or has a better temper than others?He felt that if they were both men, if he was Xiao Yu's point of view, wouldn't it be obvious how to choose?Why would you abandon a noble daughter and want you to be a butcher's daughter?Are you sorry?

"Oh, let's not even think about it. It's useless to think about it. Just wait, sooner or later there will be a result." Chu Ran also comforted the old couple.

What else can I do if I don't wait.

Chu Ran went to the restaurant, changed into an apron, and went to the kitchen.No matter how uncertain Father Chu is, Mother Chu can't let his boudoir lose air at this time, just wait and see.

The family of three is stable, and outsiders can't see anything.Someone asked about my uncle and the child, and they didn't hide it. They said they went to Beijing to visit relatives. By the way, they read the news about the imperial examination and Enke. My uncle didn't take the exam himself. Isn't it because he has taken many students with him these years?Those who follow him the highest have passed all the government examinations.

With that said, the topic was brought up to Enke.

If you are careful, I thought that when the shopkeeper Chu's family of three left a few days ago, they were escorted by officers and soldiers. Why are relatives so big?But the more you see it, the more you can't say it.The owner didn't say anything, outsiders guessed something, offended people for no reason, why bother.

Some of the yamen servants recognized that the person who came at that time was from the Imperial Forest Army, so they kept their mouths shut even tighter.

In the future, the Chu family might not be able to do it by themselves.
