Huo Xi watched blankly as Mu Yan walked in and sat down opposite her.
Looking straight at him.
Seeing that he was wearing a red official uniform, he stared at him. The young master didn't seem to be that old. He already had an errand?
"You are no longer studying in the Imperial College?"
Mu Yan nodded: "But it can't be considered a real graduation. It will take half a year to a year to work in various ministries and yamen."
Huo Xi nodded, it's just an internship. The real graduation is not until the end of the internship.
It's better for these honorable men. They don't have to live in cold weather for ten years, and they don't have to cross a single-plank bridge with thousands of troops. They have errands to do as soon as they come out of the Imperial College. Tsk tsk.
"What's that expression on your face?"
"Ah? Ah, no. I just want to congratulate you on entering a new stage of life. Look at you, you already have errands to do."
Mu Yan twitched the corners of his mouth, wondering what congratulations there were.
"Ah, by the way, which yamen are you in now?"
"In the palace."
"In the palace?" What kind of yamen is in the palace?
Seeing that Mrs. Huo didn't understand, Kan Er explained: "Our young master is now a close bodyguard of the emperor."
Oh, the close bodyguards. Aren't those the Jinyiwei? The twelve personal guards of the Emperor Wei, who guarded the palace and protected the emperor, should be the Jinyiwei, right?
"Where is your embroidered spring knife?" Huo Xi looked at his waist. Or is he just a pawn in training and not issued with a knife?
"Do you still know about Xiuchundao?" Mu Yan raised his eyebrows.
"Ah? Oh, I heard it from someone. I heard that the Royal Guards all wear a kind of curved waist knife. Isn't it called Xiuchundao? Have you seen it on the street?" Huo Xi laughed.
There were Jinyi guards on the street, but few people dared to stare at them. Did you know that they were called Xiuchundao? She was just a young lady who knew a lot. Mu Yan looked at her suspiciously.
Huo Xi avoided his gaze and said, "Ah, by the way, do you have a problem with me? I've been out for a long time and I'm about to go back. Don't worry, I've used all your money to buy land in the north, and the land deeds are also there.
Take it back, do you want to take a look?"
"You used it all to buy land? In Shuntian Mansion?"
Huo Xi nodded: "Not only did I buy land, I also bought two shops and a house."
"Is your plan too early?"
Huo Xi understood Mu Yan's words and responded: "It's not too early at all. It's better to invest in land and real estate before it's too early. If the price rises in the future, will it still be available? For example, in this capital, I want to buy a Zhuangzi.
I’ve been looking for it for several years and haven’t bought one yet.”
Mu Yan looked at her intently. Sometimes he really admired this little liar. In a few years, he had really worked hard to create a world for her.
Reaching back, Kan Er immediately handed him a box.
Mu Yan pushed the box in front of Huo Xi.
Huo Xi stared blankly. Why is there another box?
Glancing at the table, I saw that the box Ping Niang had given me was lying there, and the young master of the Mu family had given me another box. Could it also be a bank note?
At the other party's signal, Huo Xi opened the long flat box. Isn't it a bank note? He picked it up and spread it out. It's a village? Hey, it's not small, with more than 300 acres. And these, the body deed?
"This..." Why did Ping give her a village for nothing and also give it to a servant?
"Where do you plan to transport the 10,000 kilograms of cane sugar? Your shop in Beijing may not be able to accommodate it. And you dare to hide it in Beijing?" Mu Yan said calmly.
Huo Xi's eyes widened: "Are you following me?"
She was very angry. She deceived Wu Youcai. It was her own private matter. She avoided people and hid her thoughts, but she was followed and spied on!
Mu Yan looked at her angry look and found it funny.
"Didn't you guess my identity just now? Supervising officials, collecting intelligence, patrolling and arresting people is what I want to do."
"I'm not an official!" Why are you following me?
"But that's Wu Youcai. No, he doesn't have any rank either. However, the Shibo Department is an extremely important yamen, and there are many people watching it. You should be lucky that I sent someone to follow you."
Huo Xi was not convinced and felt very angry.
Li Yi glanced at the young master and didn't understand that he had originally agreed to hide the purpose of sending it to Zhuangzi without telling Mrs. Huo. He only said that he would grow grain for her and grow mulberries. Unexpectedly, the young master revealed that she wanted to hide the cane sugar.
Moreover, they clearly sent people to follow and protect her, but they said they were acting as supervisory officials to collect intelligence.
Kan Er was also a little confused and looked at Li Yiyi. The two of them suppressed their thoughts.
"Don't worry, you know this and I know it, plus my two subordinates. Aren't we still cooperating? How can I ruin your business? Besides, do you really not want this Zhuangzi?"
Seeing Mu Yan reaching out to take the box back, Huo Xi grabbed the box and held it in her arms.
Someone brought a pillow to him just after he fell asleep. Does this allow him to take it away again?
"You're right, we are just grasshoppers on the same rope. You were so stingy before, and you were worried that you didn't have enough money to spend. I will help you take care of it, and give you more bonuses every year, so that you can have more money in Beijing.
Just for some entertainment."
"Then I'd like to thank you very much." Mu Yan raised the corner of his mouth, then lowered it.
He also said: "This Zhuangzi is in Jiangjun Mountain, not far from the capital, and near the tributaries of the Qinhuai River. It is very convenient to transport goods. Tomorrow, if you get the sugar, you can directly load it on a boat and transport it there. You can go around the river a few times.
Stop being followed."
Huo Xi pouted, why should I listen to you?
But I also felt that this guy’s proposal was just right. What Zhuangzi sent was just right, and the location was excellent.
In the future, I will also practice white sugar in Zhuangzi. Once it is ready, it will be shipped directly to the ship. There is no need to go to the capital. I will just find the foreign businessman to sell it secretly. No one will notice it, and there is no need to worry about the sin of being pregnant. It's just right.
Nowadays, she has no money to participate in the maritime trade business, cannot go to sea, does not do something, and is unwilling to do so. She dares to even think about smuggling goods.
Accept Zhuangzi calmly: "Are the people in Zhuangzi reliable?"
"Reliable. That Zhuangzi is now my private property and has nothing to do with the Mu Mansion. The people in it are all mine, so you can use it with confidence."
"Then you don't have to give me the land deed, right?"
Mu Yan paused for a moment before speaking: "If one day I am no longer here, then Zhuangzi will be yours."
Huo Xi suddenly looked up at him.
I don’t know why he, a noble son of the Marquis Mansion, would say such a thing.
Mu Yan glanced at her lightly: "The land deed and the servant's body deed are left with you, so that you can control them more easily."
Seeing that Huo Xi was still a little stunned, he added: "That Ping Niang is mine now, you can use her without any worries."
Huo Xi opened his mouth wide, he is his? How old is this young master?
Mu Yan looked at her looking him up and down without knowing why. Kan Er also felt that her sudden actions were a bit strange.
Li Yi quickly came to his senses and coughed: "That's not what you meant. That Ping Niang is working for my young master now. Usually it is convenient for the young master to inquire about some information."
Seeing Huo Xi nodding his head clearly, Mu Yan suddenly came to his senses.
Stare at her hard.
This little bitch girl has a lot of thoughts. She knows what is going on in her head! And, what kind of person is he?
After glaring at her, her face became hot again. She stood up bitterly, threw up her sleeves and left.
