Mu Yan called the second-class escort from Li Yikan and asked them to stay and pack the jade and bring it back home.
He nodded to everyone present and led Huo Xi away without even looking at Mu Zhan.
Seeing Mu Yan leaving, Mu Zhan also said goodbye to Chu Chunliang and others, and left Jiu Shengxing with a smile on his face.
Everyone present looked at each other in shock and didn't come back to their senses for a long time.
I still want to see what price this piece of imperial green can be sold for in the end, or to hear what kind of object the prince plans to carve into. Maybe they can give me some advice. Besides, if it can be carved in Jade Street, it can still be carved from time to time.
Go take a look and have a good time.
But this...
Is this going to be dedicated to the emperor?
Many people shook their heads and sighed. This is really... the way they looked at the Crown Prince just now, it was as if he wanted to eat him. It was so scary.
what a shame.
I feel sorry for myself and the prince. Who is the fool here?
Mr. Jie took the lead and walked out with his hands behind his back. When the others saw it, they shook their heads and followed him out.
Suddenly, the backyard of Jiu Shengxing suddenly went from being so crowded that people could barely get in, to now being empty and completely empty.
Chu Chunliang was stunned for a long time and didn't come back to his senses. It wasn't until his eldest son called him that he cheered up and called for a boy to help the prince's people pack and transport the piece of imperial green. It would be better to pack it away earlier so that it could be out of sight.
.
After everyone was gone, he looked at his youngest son Chu Yi with a knife-like look.
After cutting out such a good piece of material, now I am not afraid that the prince will blame his family for selling waste stones to him. But just now, there was a turbulent undercurrent between the prince and the eldest son. Who can't see it?
The prince had already promised that he would dedicate it to the emperor? Even his grandson didn't believe it.
He went up and kicked Chu Yi hard several times, "The prince is in Yunnan, you stay away from the eldest son!" Don't cause trouble to the family! What a stupid thing!
If we were to choose one person's position, wouldn't it be better to choose the heir apparent rather than the eldest son?
Even if the prince doesn't stay in Yunnan for a long time, he is more upright and open-minded than the eldest son! He doesn't play dirty tricks. Instead of following the eldest son in fear, isn't it better than surrendering to the prince?
There are many people who think like Chu Chunliang, but everyone here today all thinks the same way. But ordinary people, how dare they get involved in the affairs of the Mu Mansion. They just chew their ears behind their backs a few times.
Mu Zhan visited Jade Street and was not in a hurry to return home. Instead, he made an appointment with someone to go to the Flower House to have a drink and enjoy the entertainment.
Thinking of how he had just tricked Mu Yan, how he had caught him off guard, his shocked expression, his expression of wanting to eat himself alive but unable to expose it in public, made him feel happy.
After telling his friend what he had just done, he was praised highly by his friend and praised him for his cleverness. Mu Zhan even laughed heartily.
"I'm just happy to see Mu Yan's expression, where he clearly wants to eat me, but also wants to protect his image in public, trying to hold back. Hahaha..."
It's so refreshing.
"The eldest son is still smart. With just a few words, the prince can't refute, and he can't tell you how hard he is. A piece of top-grade imperial green can be sold for millions of taels just for jade. If it is carved, it can be carved without any restrictions.
Flowers, plants, birds, animals, landscapes, and landscapes are all of great value. After losing such a large amount, even if my heart bleeds, I still can't deny that it was not dedicated to the emperor."
"How dare he deny it? If this reaches the emperor's ears, what can he do?
"No, how about saying that the eldest young master is brilliant?"
All of Mu Zhan's subordinates praised him one after another, and the flattery made Mu Zhan feel very comfortable. He waved his hand to the singers and dancers on the stage: "Thank you, thank you all!"
On the other side, Mu Yan returned to the house holding back his anger and sent Huo Xi back to Cuihuang Courtyard. Without even entering, he turned around and went to the study.
Huo Xi looked at his back and sighed heavily.
Mother Ma learned about the situation and comforted her: "Don't worry, girl, the prince acts in a measured way. No matter how angry he is, he will not do anything irreversible. We have suffered such a big mistake, so we don't let the prince vent his anger."
, it’s not good to keep it in your heart.”
Huo Xi sighed, "Mom, you weren't there. He looked cannibalistic at that time, and I was scared. I was afraid that he would attack Mu Zhan on the spot."
"The Crown Prince is someone who does great things. No matter how angry he is, he will hide it later and will not explode on the spot. That will only make outsiders see the joke of our Mu family."
"Yes. He always thinks about his grandfather's instructions to guard the border and protect the Mu Mansion. He works hard to protect the Mu Mansion outside, but there are people in the manor who don't want him to take it easy and are always against him."
"It's just that this hereditary title is so attractive. What's more, it's far away from the capital and is in a corner. Who wouldn't want such a powerful position? Girls, don't worry about the prince. It's already night, and the prince hasn't eaten yet.
Come on, why don’t you go to the kitchen and personally cook two of the prince’s favorite dishes?”
"Let's go."
In the study, Mu Yan smashed all the cups he could.
Li Yikan and the second class were both distressed and angry. "Young Master, we have suffered such a big loss, we cannot do nothing!"
It's so hateful that such a big piece of imperial green could be sold for gold and silver if it was shipped to Jiangnan and put into good use! But it was ruined by the eldest son's frivolous words.
Dedicate it to the emperor? Why doesn’t he offer it?
Why should his young master give away the imperial green that the young master plans to keep as a family heirloom? He is worthy of making the decision for the young master!
"If I had known earlier, I would have brought it back to our shop and untied it quietly." It also saved a lot of money. Kan Er regretted that his intestines were blue.
Why doesn't Mu Yan regret it?
Originally, he just wanted to slap Mu Zhan in the face, but how could he have thought of opening the top imperial green? If he had known earlier...
Mu Zhan!
His fist hit the table hard.
Looking at Xun Wu and Zhen Liu, "Mu Zhan wants to get money to raise his private soldiers, doesn't he? I don't care what method you use to get his jade mine into our hands, and the price must be low!"
"Yes. Don't worry, young master. We will make a good plan and let the eldest son exchange the jade mine for silver to compensate the young master for his losses!" Xun Wu and Zhen Liu were filled with indignation and wished they could go out and do some work now.
Mu Yan nodded, "No matter what the means."
"yes!"
The turbid air in Mu Yan's chest subsided slightly.
Mu Zhan made him lose such a huge piece of priceless imperial green. How could he be willing to do nothing if he didn't do something? The biggest property in Mu Zhan's hands was the jade mine he had just acquired, and he wanted him to spit it out.
.
Looking at Li Yikaner, "The Duke said before that I can go to the guard station to select people to serve as escorts. You two are responsible for this matter. You must select a private soldier of the guard before the year, and they must be willing to come.
Those under my command who obey the orders will give Zu Jun noon and generous rewards in public!"
The two clasped their fists: "Yes. I understand!"
Nowadays, the number of military noon given to the soldiers in the army is not enough. The crown prince selects his private soldiers and gives them enough military noon and generous reward. Who doesn't want to transfer it to the crown prince's name?
"I will definitely live up to the prince's trust!"
It wasn't until nightfall that Mu Yan returned to Cuihuang Courtyard.
Seeing that his expression was no longer depressed, Huo Xi breathed a sigh of relief, fearing that he would be broken out of anger.
Seeing that Huo Xi hadn't eaten yet and was waiting for him, Mu Yan said angrily, "Why don't you eat first? What should I do if I'm starving?"
Huo Xi hugged his arm and rubbed it, "When I think of losing such a large amount of money, I feel so sad that I can't bear to eat."
Seeing her strange look of distress made Mu Yan laugh, and the turbid air in his chest dissipated a lot. "I didn't want to sell it, I just wanted to leave it as a family heirloom for you. After all, we don't want to
Even if the money is lost, at most it will never be seen again."
In turn, he comforted Huo Xi.
Seeing that he had figured it out, Huo Xi breathed a sigh of relief.
Staring at him: "Are you stupid? You still have a family heirloom! You are not afraid of thieves stealing such a big piece of jade if you leave it at home! Of course it is worth converting it into silver. Can you sleep if you leave it at home?" Tsk tsk tsk, what are you talking about?
, and a family heirloom.
"With me here, no one dares to steal it."
"Even if you don't dare to steal, why don't you dare to worry about it? Besides, if you don't dare to steal, your son and your grandson won't dare to steal either?" If you leave it at home, won't it bring disaster to your children and grandchildren? If you still have family heirlooms, is there money?
Mu Yan tilted his head and thought for a while: "Madam is right. It cannot be used as a family heirloom. If you are not afraid of thieves stealing it, you are afraid that thieves will miss it. It is very distressing to lose such a large sum of money. Then I will wait for my husband to give it to me.
