After he finished speaking, Mao Er took over and said: "Brother is right, slaves have only one master in this life, and that is the empress."
"Since you still recognize me as your master, get up quickly. I still have something to ask you." After standing in the sun for such a long time, Ling Ruo was already sweating all over, and walked to the shade of a tree, where there were
There are several stone benches, presumably for people to rest.
"Auntie, who are they? How come they seem to be very familiar with the master?" Mo'er asked Shuixiu in a low voice, with curiosity in his eyes.
Shui Xiu made a silent gesture and said: "Have you forgotten what I said to you? Read less and listen more."
"Oh!" Mo'er hit a soft nail, stuck out his tongue and stopped talking, but his eyes kept turning on Ling Ruo and the Mao brothers.
Seeing Mao Er walking over with a limp, Ling Ruo felt sad and asked: "Mao Er, have your feet been seen by the doctor? Is there any chance it can be cured?"
Mao Er said with a gloomy look: "Fu Jin has been to the doctor for this slave. The doctor said that because he didn't call a doctor when he was interrupted, the bones grew crooked. Now even if the bones are broken again, it may not be able to be reattached."
"Alas, I am sorry for you and have made you suffer so much." Hearing Ling Ruo sigh, Mao Er quickly waved his hands and said: "It's none of the master's business, it's the slaves who are useless. I'm sorry for the master and I'm sorry for Miss Shuiyue.
"
Shuiyue sniffed and choked up and said: "Don't be stupid, you have tried your best. Besides, this is not the first time that **Zhai has closed down. If it fails this time, we can try to open it up next time."
"Yes." Ling Ruo answered calmly: "Unless you don't want to."
The Mao brothers couldn't wait to say: "The slaves are willing. Since the collapse of **Zhai, the slaves and Ayi, Mr. Fu, and the others' biggest wish is to reopen it again, but... someone complained to Mr. Fu Yin and said
After using the rouge from our shop, my whole face was rotten. Mr. Fu Yin ordered that the name of our ***** restaurant be sealed. Even if we reopen it, we are not allowed to use these three words again."
When talking about this, Ling Ruo remembered something, "During the Lantern Festival, I asked Mo Yu to investigate this matter. Unfortunately, several things happened one after another. I forgot to ask her for a while. Do you know that she can investigate?
how's it going?"
Speaking of this, the Mao brothers became energetic and Mao Daodao said: "Returning to the master, Fujin checked and found some clues. After those people complained, they all moved away from the capital. Fujin finally tracked down one of them and found out that
Not only did he build a house outside, he also bought a few servant girls. Life is much better than before, and the remaining few are still being traced."
Shui Yue thought for a while, lowered her head and said in Ling Ruo's ear: "Master, suddenly you have a lot of money. You are either committing adultery or stealing."
Ling Ruorou nodded thoughtfully, "If my prediction is correct, the whole thing was basically a trap set up by others in order to ruin their reputation."
"Master, what should we do now?" Ling Ruo's appearance gave the Mao brothers hope, unlike before, where they had been living in guilt and self-blame.
"Don't worry, let's wait until Mo Yu finds out a few more people who are suing you. Then we can go to Shuntian Mansion together to have a lot of fun. The people in this palace are not that easy to bully." When saying this, Ling Ruo's expression
Indescribably cold.
"If we can reopen the **Zhai, it won't matter if we take the lives of the slaves." Mao Da said excitedly. After ten years of business, they even gave up the opportunity to marry and have children, and only focused on taking care of the **Zhai.
This **fast is their lifeblood.
"Don't say such things. I want you to live a good life and revive the reputation of **Zhai." Ling Ruo paused and said: "In addition, during this period, you can also trace the incense maker's identity.
whereabouts."
"Yes, the slaves know." The Mao brothers also hated the incense maker deeply. If he hadn't leaked the formula in the shop, why would they have been treated so miserably.
After explaining the matter, Ling Ruo ordered the Mao brothers to leave the Wanshou Temple quickly, while she herself pretended to be strolling around the temple until the abbot and abbot came to invite her to use the vegetarian restaurant. Ling Ruo was full of praise for the vegetarian restaurant in the Wanshou Temple.
In the afternoon, under the courtesy of the abbot and a group of monks, Ling Ruo stepped on the chariot back to the palace. When he stepped into the palace gate, Mo'er reluctantly said: "It's a pity that it's too short. If I could stay outside the palace more
Just wait for a while and you’ll be fine.”
Shuiyue smiled and said: "Since you like being outside the palace so much, why did you rely on your master to enter the palace in the first place?"
Mo'er shook his head repeatedly and said: "How is that the same? Although I was free and unrestrained outside the palace, I had to worry about hunger every day. Sometimes it was so miserable that I didn't even have a pile of straw to sleep on, so I could only lie down casually under the overpass all night.
.Sister Shuiyue, you don’t know how it feels when you wake up with wild dogs licking your body, as if you are just a fragrant meat bone.”
Shuiyue got goosebumps all over after what she said. She raised her hands and said, "Okay, okay, don't say it anymore. I must have said something wrong. Alas, it's really hard for you to be able to survive in this situation."
.”
Mo'er chuckled and said, "So, I feel even happier now. I have food and clothing, and you, Master and Sister Shuiyue, take care of me."
"Yes, yes, after you leave the palace at the age of twenty-five, Shui Xiu and I will prepare another dowry for you to make you happier." Shui Yue joked.
Mo'er's face turned red and she wrung her fingers and retorted: "What's the benefit of getting married? I won't get married. I want to serve my master all my life like my aunt and Sister Shuiyue."
Seeing the red cloud on his face, Shuiyue couldn't help but smile and said: "Look, look, I just said it casually, but you blushed first and said you didn't mean it. Who are you kidding?"
Mo'er blushed even more intensely now, like a ripe persimmon, but Shuixiu couldn't look away and helped her out: "Okay, stop teasing Mo'er, but marriage is a normal thing, don't be shy.
.”
Hearing this, Ling Ruo smiled at the side and said: "Shui Xiu is right. When you have the opportunity in the future, I will help you pay more attention to it, so that you will not blame me when you become an old girl in the future."
Mo'er stamped her feet and said with shame and embarrassment: "Master, why are you laughing at me? Anyway, I won't marry you at all. I... I'm going back to the palace first."
After saying that, he ran away without waiting for Ling Ruo's consent. He could still hear the laughter from behind in the distance. After running for a long time and making sure that Ling Ruo and the others were out of sight, Mo'er stopped and held his hands.
Panting against his hot cheeks.
It's strange that when Shuiyue talked about getting married just now, Si Xi appeared in her mind, and she even thought that marrying Si Xi would be a good idea.
What a mess. Although Eunuch Xi is a good man and treats me very well, he is a eunuch, and I cannot marry a eunuch no matter what!
Thinking of this, she recalled the Caihu that Sixi had mentioned before. Palace maids and eunuchs could also get married, but they could not live a normal married life.
Caihu... Caihu...
Mo'er recited it several times in her mind and shook her head to shake this unrealistic idea out of her mind. Caidu was forbidden by the palace, and Eunuch Xi never said he liked her. Now that she thinks about it, it seems like she is being sentimental.
.
"Girl Mo, what are you thinking about?" Sixi stood next to Mo'er for a while and found that she was frowning and covering her face. She looked weird and didn't even notice anyone next to her.
