"good!"

Speaking of which, Mu Bai had a very good impression of Guo Shuangyi.

Had she not appeared in time last time, he would have been taken to the Criminal Punishment Department by Zhao Hai and chopped up alive.

When they met again, she had a kinder smile on her face and became more intellectual.

As soon as he entered the door, Mu Bai was stunned by the large boxes in front of him.

Dazzling silver, eye-catching large yellow croakers, hundreds of taels in size.

On the table are the jade Ruyi as thick as an arm and the Night Pearl as big as a fist.

Su embroidery, Yun brocade, and agarwood satin filled the whole room.

No one will be confused after seeing this scene.

The same goes for Mubai.

"Aunt Guo, what does this mean?"

After Guo Shuangyi entered the room, she became less arrogant and said with a smile:

"Mr. Mu, these are some of your Majesty's rewards for your significant contribution to the Qingzhou locust plague."

Mu Bai didn't dare to claim credit. Could it be that the empress was testing his character?

"The lower officials only fulfilled their duties as ministers and did not dare to take any credit."

Guo Shuangyi raised her chest and raised her head: "Your Majesty has rewarded you, so feel free to take it. Your Majesty also said that when you take up the post at the Ministry of Household Affairs tomorrow, you must do your best, and you must not forget what you are going to do."

Mu Bai was so smart, he knew the empress's intentions very well.

The imperial court's money bag cannot be carried on the trousers of the Wei family.

"I understand."

After Guo Shuangyi finished explaining the matter about the empress, her expression became more easy-going.

Mu Bai is now a super popular person around the empress, and everyone wants to curry favor with her.

So she stepped forward, feeling a faint and elegant body fragrance, and listened to her whispering in Mu Bai's ear affectionately:

"Mr. Mu is deeply favored by His Majesty. If I have the opportunity to serve you in the future, I will do as you please."

Wow!

So direct?

Mu Bai was surprised. It turned out that under Guo Shuangyi's serious appearance, there was a lonely heart hidden!

Mu Bai smiled slightly, stretched out his hand and pinched Guo Shuangyi's fragile face:

"This official has just arrived in the palace. From now on, he should slowly ask his aunt for advice."

Guo Shuangyi was so fascinated by the handsome man in front of her that she leaned over and replied: "I will do my best."

The two of them understood each other.

Then Guo Shuangyi left the room, and before leaving, he ordered the two sisters Suo Xin and Furong:

"Your Majesty said that Mr. Mu needs someone to take care of him in the palace, and you will stay and serve him from now on."

"yes!"

Suo Xin and Fu Rong lowered their heads and pursed their lips, feeling happy in their hearts.

"Remember, the Muda people ask you to go east, never to the west. No matter what the Muda people ask, you must do it obediently. The only assessment for the two of you is the Muda people's satisfaction."

Guo Shuangyi's request for the two of them was to obey and do as they were told.

The two of them were also very sensible and nodded in response: "Yes, eldest aunt!"

After Guo Shuangyi left, Suoxin and Furong were like two wooden stakes, fixed at the door and ready to stand until dawn.

Then Mu Bai's voice came from inside:

"Zuoxin, Furong, come in."

The lock was okay, so he slipped in stupidly, and Furong blushed first before following her in.

Seeing Mu Bai sitting in his seat, there were three pieces of agarwood satin on the table in front of him.

The two palace ladies looked eagerly at these top-quality materials.

This is a high-quality product paid tribute by the Jiangnan Textile Bureau. It is an official cloth and is prohibited from being circulated in the outside market.

This also shows how precious it is.

Mu Baiyun said calmly: "Take this satin to the Clothes Supervisor and make four summer clothes."

"Yes!" Furong's thoughts were more delicate, she asked: "Excuse me, sir, what style do you want?"

Mu Bai's requirements are not too high: "Just make two pieces for the wealthy young men in the capital to wear when going out. The other two pieces are for you two, and each of you will make one of your favorite clothes."

Suo Xin and Fu Rong thought they heard wrongly: "What did the adults say?"

"I said, make two clothes and give them to you."

The two sisters Suoxin and Furong looked at each other, extremely surprised.

This is agarwood satin, every inch of cloth is worth every inch of gold, how can servants like them wear it?

The two of them thought Mu Bai was setting rules for them, so they hurriedly knelt down:

"Sir, please spare us. Even if you beat us to death, you still won't dare to wear clothes made of this fabric."

The ancients had a deep-rooted concept of hierarchy. Wearing what kind of fabric according to your status was determined at birth.

Mu Bai shook his head, helped the two beauties up, and explained:

"Seeing as how I'm scaring you, I just wanted to get close to you. Anyway, these two clothes are made in your size. If you don't want to wear them, just throw them away!"

They saw that Mu Bai didn't look like he was joking.

And since they were sold into the palace as slaves since they were young, no one has ever cared about them so much, and they couldn't help but be touched in their hearts.

The two of them had sore noses and responded in a low voice: "Thank you, sir."

"Okay, it's getting late, you go find Zhao Duguan, and then go and have a rest!"

"yes!"

Before leaving, Furong turned to Mubai and said:

"Sir, we live in the side room in the west courtyard. If you have any instructions at night, just greet us."

After saying that, Furong's face turned red obviously.

Mu Bai nodded and smiled without saying a word.

Soon, Zhao Hai arrived and was quite uneasy when he saw the rare treasures and silks and satins in the room.

"Mr. Mu, congratulations. I have told you a long time ago that you are bound to make a fortune! If you become successful in the future, you must take care of me!"

Mu Bai was sitting on his seat, sipping tea to relieve his hangover, and casually threw a fifty-tael piece of silver into Zhao Hai's arms.

"Ouch!"

Yinzi turned over in Zhao Hai's arms before he was caught by him.

"Guan Zhao, I will be on duty at the Ministry of Revenue tomorrow. Didn't you say that you know many interesting things in the palace? Why don't you relieve my fatigue in the dead of night?"

Zhao Hai stared at the fifty taels of silver in his hand, which was equivalent to his annual salary.

I was so happy that I couldn't open my mouth from ear to ear.

But he is very cautious.

"What do you want to know, sir?"

Mu Bai stopped beating around the bush and got straight to the point: "Let's talk about the Wei family! The first family in this dynasty, don't tell me you don't know."

The position of the Wei family in Daliang is well known to everyone.

It's just that some people hear it from hearsay, and old eunuchs like Zhao Hai who have been in the palace for decades have a very clean family.

Zhao Hai hesitated for a moment, turned around and closed the door firmly, then stepped forward and said:

"The old slave will tell you a story."

Mu Bai lightly kicked him: "Old fox, you have to go around in circles, why can't you just tell the truth?"

Zhao Hai pointed at his neck: "Oh, I still have to keep this guy eating."

"Then tell me!" Mu Bai pricked up his ears and listened.

"It is said that there is a wealthy businessman in this city, except for the king. There are petty thieves in the house every now and then. The housekeeper in the house makes the nursing home go into war, clamoring to increase manpower, buy weapons, and buy armor. If he still doesn't move, he will find someone.

Repair the gates and build high walls. The accountant is also the steward's son-in-law, and in the end all the fat and water flowed into the steward's fields."

What kind of brain does Mu Bai have? He understood immediately.

The steward refers to Wei Qian.
