But when she wanted to go find Yunzhen, her servants told her that Yunzhen had left early in the morning and asked her to figure out what to do.
"……ill."
Mu Xuanyi rubbed her nose and did not stay here any longer. She took the ten girls she chose and set off on her way back.
She first bought the little girl from Er Niu for six taels of silver, then found Zheng, sent the little girl back, and picked her up.
As for those girls, if they still remember where they are at home, send them back. If they don't, just see if they have anything they want to do and let them leave or stay.
Especially after all the more than 150 girls there were dealt with, there were still more than 30 who wanted to stay.
Seeing so many girls gathered together, Mu Xuanyi finally decided to take them back to the capital.
In order to accommodate these girls, Mu Xuanyi chartered more than a dozen carriages one after another. From a distance, they could see a mighty caravan.
After several struggles, when we arrived in the capital, even the snow had begun to fall.
Many of the girls had never been to the capital before, and they all looked outside with curiosity on their faces.
Mrs. Zheng was surprised when she saw so many girls at first. After learning about the girls' life experiences, her surprise turned into pity. She respected her daughter's decision and was willing to take all the girls back.
Fortunately, the house she bought before was not too small, and it was more than enough to house these girls.
But this also caused Feng Yun to come over and look at the room full of warblers and swallows. He didn't react for a moment and thought he was in the wrong place.
"What are you doing?" He looked at Mu Xuanyi who was teasing Xiao Long Bao in confusion, wondering where she got so many girls.
When Mu Xuanyi saw him, she waved to him happily: "Master Feng, long time no see."
It's been a long time indeed. Counting the days, the two of them haven't seen each other for a month or two.
"haven't seen you for a long time."
Mu Xuanyi looked at the person in front of him, walked over and gave him a big hug.
"I miss you so much, Master Feng."
Feng Yunxian touched her head: "I miss you too."
It was already the twelfth lunar month, and it would be the Laba Festival in a few days. The court suddenly became busy, and Fengyun had to find time to come to see her.
When asked about the whereabouts of those girls, Mu Xuanyi did not hide it and told them their identities openly.
"Actually, not all of them were trafficked. Some of them were sold because their families lacked money. They didn't want to go back, because that would only expose them to a second round of sales."
Mu Xuanyi sighed: "So I thought about bringing them to the capital and finding a job for them to do. After all, I have to support myself first, so that I can make plans for the future as soon as possible."
"Are you going to open your own shop?" Feng Yunxian frowned.
"I don't know how many girls you brought back, but from the sound of it, I'm afraid there are ten or twenty. I'm afraid it's not easy to find work for them alone."
"If you want them all to find work, the most convenient way is to open your own shop."
Mu Xuanyi looked at his look and asked abruptly: "Master Feng, do you have any recommendations?"
A smile appeared on Feng Yunxian's face: "It's a coincidence that His Royal Highness recently wanted to establish an intelligence organization in the capital. He has assigned the matter to me, but he hasn't had time to organize the manpower."
"If you are willing, I can hand over the venue to you. All you need to do is build a teahouse. Pay more attention to what the guests say on weekdays, and there won't be many other requirements."
"I just want to show up to serve the guests tea and entertain them. Are you girls willing to do that?" Feng Yunxian finished his thoughts and handed over the decision-making power to Mu Xuanyi.
"I have to discuss this with them. I can't make the decision myself."
Mu Xuanyi thought for a moment and asked Feng Yunxian to wait for her while she hurried to the backyard.
More than twenty girls were gathered together. As soon as Mu Xuanyi passed by, he heard their lively discussion about the Laba Festival.
The Laba Festival will be in a few days, and the girls are finally able to stay together to celebrate the festival, and they are full of interest.
Seeing Mu Xuanyi coming, they all stopped talking and said hello to her.
"Sister Mu!"
Mu Xuanyi nodded and conveyed Feng Yunxian's words to them.
Of course, she didn't directly say that she was working for the prince, but made a few vague remarks.
"There's no need for you to do anything dangerous. Just note down a few words when the guests are talking."
Mu Xuanyi's words quickly received strong approval from the girls. They have been staying at home these days, and their food and accommodation belong to Mu Xuanyi, and they feel very embarrassed.
Now that they can have a job and at least earn some money instead of doing nothing, they are very willing to do so.
After confirming their wishes with the girls, Mu Xuanyi went back to talk to Fengyun Xian about the matter.
"Okay, then I will give you the house deed and land deed tomorrow. It should be renovated after the new year. You can prepare in advance during this period." Fengyun Xian has always been very efficient in his actions, so he made a decision immediately.
A figure flashed in Mu Xuanyi's mind and tugged on Feng Yunxian's clothes.
"Do you... have any brothers or anything?"
The smile on Feng Yunxian's face immediately faded a lot, and he looked at Mu Xuanyi: "Why do you ask this?"
Mu Xuanyi didn't say much, and just said vaguely: "I saw someone who looks very similar to you. Maybe it was my imagination."
"My life experience has been found out." Feng Yunxian held her hand tightly and lowered his head.
"I am His Majesty's child. He told me about this in private, but I did not recognize him."
There was a rare confusion in his eyes.
Before that, he had been assisting the prince in the way of a monarch and a minister, but the emperor suddenly told him that he valued him very much and hoped that he could return to his status as a prince and compete for the position of crown prince.
Feng Yunxian refused on the spot.
It is impossible for him to accept this matter, so until now, the matter is still on hold.
Mu Xuanyi leaned against Feng Yunxian and reached out to hook his fingers: "As long as you are happy, no matter what choice you make, I will support you."
"What about you? Do you have any suggestions?" Feng Yunxian lowered his head to look at her. The girl's hair was hanging down, with a bit of fragrance, which tugged at his heartstrings.
Mu Xuanyi blinked: "I don't want you and His Highness to turn against each other."
"You two have a very good relationship, and you grew up together and have a deep relationship. If you become a prince, you will naturally have inevitable disputes with him."
