Zhang Fu, his old mother, his wife, his children, his two brothers and his family, surrounded by maids and servants, were entering the largest restaurant in the capital diagonally across the street.
Huo Nian saw that Huo Xi was not moving. He followed her target and saw his uncle's family.
He pursed his lips.
He now knows that the status of his uncle's family is different from theirs. Mr. Qin told him about the family level, and Nian'er understood. Nian'er also took note of what his sister said.
"Sister, let's go in." If you can avoid these wealthy people outside, try to avoid them.
"Okay, let's go in."
Seeing that Zhang Fu hadn't moved, Xiao Wu pushed him and said, "What's the matter?" He looked over, seeing people everywhere, and he didn't know what his man was looking at.
Zhang Fu stepped forward and cooed: "The brothers who had a dispute with Brother Xie on Meihua Mountain last time."
Xiao Wu glanced back again, but saw no one: "What's wrong with those brothers?"
"I always feel that the older one is a bit strange. There seems to be a sense of hatred in his eyes when he looks at our family."
"Hate? It's just a child's dispute, and our family didn't pursue it any further. What's there to hate about him? If it were other people, they might have driven him far away from Beijing."
Zhang Fu couldn't explain why.
"I'm afraid you've stayed in Jinyiwei for a long time, and everyone will have problems. Let's go quickly, big brother is calling us."
Zhang Fu pressed the matter down, and the couple followed the family into the restaurant.
Huo Xi and others entered a large private room, where they all looked at the lights, had tea and snacks, chatted and laughed.
Huo Nian held the edge of the window to look at the light, not wanting to blink.
More and more people were seen, like waves, rushing forward. The people looking at the lights were pushed and squeezed forward slowly.
Huo Erhuai looked at Huo Nian with worried eyes: "Why don't we sit in the box for a while and then go back? There are so many people here. If something happens and we are crowded around, where can we go to find them?
"
Everyone agreed. Huo Xi thought about it and nodded in agreement.
Huo Nian didn't see enough of the excitement and pouted. Huo Xi pinched his little face: "If the kidnapper kidnaps you, you won't be able to see your parents, sister and uncle."
"There is a well-off life."
Bao Kang also nodded: "Yes, as long as Xiaokang is here, Xiaokang will protect Nian'er."
Huo Xi saw Huo Nian's persistent look and glared at him. Seeing him tightening his mouth, she thought of the family she just saw and felt a little soft-hearted.
"Just sit in the box for a while. If you want any lamps, let Xiaokang go down and buy them for you. Go to bed early at night. My sister will accompany you to the city wall for a walk tomorrow morning, okay?"
Huo Nian's eyes lit up. He could see higher and further on the city wall! But he couldn't do both?
Looking at my sister again, it seemed that she couldn't do it. I had no choice but to nod in agreement.
Everyone admired the lanterns in the box for a while and then returned.
The next day, before dawn, the whole family went out early to avoid the peak flow of people and climbed the city wall to avoid all kinds of diseases.
In this way, this year has come to an end.
Mu Yan, on the other hand, breathed a sigh of relief, the year was finally over.
His biological mother was so stimulated by Mu Zhan's appointment as a high-class daughter-in-law that during this year, she dragged him around to socialize, as if she was afraid that others would not know that she had a son who was old enough to marry.
And he never knew that his biological mother, who was deeply involved in Jane's life, turned out to be quite talkative and praised him for all the things in the world. After hearing this, he felt so embarrassed that he wanted to bang his head against the wall.
My head is buzzing.
He was celebrating the New Year and couldn't bear her sadness, so he stayed with her several times, and every time he felt like he was being sold at a high price.
Mu Yan was scared, really scared.
He was planning to go to a temple to find an eminent monk who told him that he had to marry his wife a few years later, otherwise he would be in trouble with his wife and marriage. He didn't believe that any girl would dare to get involved with him.
On the seventeenth day of the first lunar month, all government offices opened their seals. Mu Yan also ended his annual leave and entered the inner court to continue to be his bodyguard.
The case of Grand Duke Lanxi Mu has not been resolved yet, and I wonder if he will be sent there. Mu Yan gets a headache just thinking about it.
After the morning meeting, in the imperial study, Emperor Yongkang flipped through a thick stack of memorials that had been pressed for a year, and made two comments with a red pen from time to time. When he turned to the memorial of Xiping Hou Mu Sheng's request to be crowned the prince, his hands paused.
He raised his eyelids outside the main hall, thought for a while, and shouted.
Mu Yan entered in response.
Emperor Yongkang raised Mu Sheng's memorial in front of him: "This is the memorial submitted by your father, no, your uncle, please take a look."
"yes."
Mu Yan responded and knelt down to pick it up. He had already guessed the content of the memorial, but he did not show it on his face. His posture was straight and he opened it to read.
Emperor Yongkang looked at him with his eyes while playing Bai.
Seeing that there was nothing strange about his face, I praised him in my heart.
His half-brother had a sharp eye, and the heir he chose was indeed excellent. However, he was afraid of being too excellent.
In the southwest borderland, with many neighboring countries, a strong general is needed to lead the troops to guard it, so as to avoid the imperial court's worries. However, if he is too good, he may turn the imperial court's 200,000 soldiers and horses into his own. Then, he will be the same.
Sleeping restlessly.
While Emperor Yongkang was thinking, Mu Yan had finished reading the memorial and presented it back with lowered eyebrows and hands.
Emperor Yongkang took it and put it aside, and asked him: "Do you think I should play it accurately?"
Mu Yan raised his hands and did not dare to look directly at Long Yan: "I dare not discuss the affairs of the state arbitrarily. Your Majesty's Holy Heart is clear and has its own Holy Judgment."
Emperor Yongkang saw him cupping his hands and lowering his eyebrows. There was no emotion on his face. He only felt that although he was not old, he had such a rare character.
He knocked on the dragon case and said: "You are the prince of Xiping, who was approved by Taizu himself. If your concubine gets this title, will you be willing?"
"My uncle asked Mu Zhan for a title. Naturally, Mu Zhan has this ability. Our Mu family are all your Majesty's ministers, and we will definitely serve your Majesty together in the future."
His words were impeccable, and Emperor Yongkang stared at him for a long time.
"I heard that Mu Jie likes your cousin very much. He is my grandson. I have only met him once. It's been the New Year and I don't know if he is strong enough. You go back and tell the prince-in-law,
So Kong asked Chang Ning to take him to see Gong Duo and the Queen."
"Yes. I obey your order."
Emperor Yongkang waved him away. Mu Yan stood back at the entrance of the hall. His face remained unmoved, but his heart was disturbed.
Why did Your Majesty mention Mu Jie?
The title of Marquis of Xiping originally belonged to the eldest brother, but now that his heir is gone, the second brother has taken over the title. Now the second brother wants to grant the title to Mu Zhan, a bastard. Your Majesty is not satisfied with his status as a bastard?
The title can be passed from the eldest to the second eldest brother, but it may not be passed on to the third eldest brother. Mu Jie of the third eldest brother is his legitimate son and his majesty's grandson.
What does Your Majesty mean? If you press Mu Zhan’s request, you have to wait until Mu Jie grows up?
Or let several members of the Mu family fight among themselves?
Mu Yan's hand on the saber tightened.
As soon as the new year passed, Huo Xi followed Shen Qianzhong and began to frequently visit the chamber of commerce and contact the principals of various companies to see which ones were interested in going to sea together.
Now Langguangge is willing to work together to sell goods to the sea, but Langguangge alone is not enough. At least we need to find a few more companies.
In addition to finding a business name, we also need to find a boat, a sailor, a guide, and a translator. None of this is easy. Moreover, Guangfeng Shui's reputation is not well-known in the capital, and I don't know if anyone is willing to cooperate with them.
