Xiao Mo shook his head and sighed, picked up the tea cup and took a sip, "Hey, it's hard to refuse Grand Master Sun's apple, and Grand Master Sun's status in the court cannot be underestimated, but my sister's stubborn and willful character really hurt Xiao.
Think about it, if she can't get her wish, then Xiao, the elder brother, will really look a little incompetent."
Ye Shihan naturally understood the implication of what he said. Xiao Mo's status in the court was as good as that of Grand Master Sun. Besides, Xiao Mo's father died for the country. The emperor was in a dilemma at the moment.
That's why the final decision was handed over to Ye Shihan, but he hadn't had time to inform him yet.
Now it seems that Xiao Mo wanted to take the initiative, but what he didn't expect was that Sun Mengmeng had already settled in the seventh prince's residence.
The reason why he took the initiative to discuss this matter with Ye Shihan was because he hoped that he would agree to marry his little sister Xiao Yuanyuan for Xiao Mo's sake.
The one who is most worried now is Ye Shihan. He doesn't know how to choose between these two women?
What's more, these two women are not from ordinary families. If they are married, one will definitely be the main concubine and the other will be the side concubine. Then these two women, as well as Taishi Sun and General Xiao behind them, will not agree to their own family's marriage.
small.
Ye Shihan is obviously in a dilemma. The reason why he still hasn't married for so many years is that he doesn't want to be burdened by his family. Secondly, he really hates the behavior of these official ladies. Over the years, no woman can make him more happy.
Just take a look.
The conversation between Xiao Mo and Ye Shihan did not get an accurate answer from Ye Shihan in the end. It seems that this matter cannot be rushed.
At the entrance of Tingyu Pavilion, the guards beside Xiao Mo had already brought the horse over. When they saw him coming out, they stepped forward, bowed, and handed the horse's reins to his hands.
He turned around and cupped his fists at Ye Shihan and said, "Your Highness, Xiao is leaving. I hope that Your Highness can seriously consider my little sister's matter."
Ye Shihan returned the salute, "Shihan understands, General Xiao is going well."
He did not clearly inform him of his plans because he had no plans now.
No emperor from the two families could be offended. The most important thing was that Sun Mengmeng was very annoying to him. As for Xiao Yuanyuan, who had been pampered since she was a child, she must not be much better.
Therefore, he was really scratching his head about this matter.
Early the next morning, Doudou carried the cloth bag that his grandmother had sewn for him in advance and happily prepared to go to school.
The shop was not far from the school. Su Muer did not let Xiao Wu drive the car, but told them to start familiarizing themselves with the method of making tea eggs and preserved eggs at home. She took her three children on foot to the school.
Along the way, Doudou was in an extremely excited state and kept mumbling the Three Character Sutra taught to him by his uncle.
Qing'er couldn't help but glance at Su Mu'er and curled her lips, "Third sister, look at Doudou, he really loves to show off. If you go back to school, you will definitely attract your husband's favor."
Although her words were filled with jealousy, she was also praising him in disguise. Her words were full of love for him.
Yuan Min also answered: "That's natural. Doudou is not only the pistachio of our family, but also the most popular child in the school. You can tell it by looking at Mr. Zeng's eyes yesterday."
Hearing his uncle and aunt praise him like this, he felt light and airy as he walked around. He strode forward proudly with his short legs and his hands behind his back, looking like an old scholar.
Yuan Min and Qing'er behind them couldn't help but cover their mouths and chuckle when they saw it, while Su Mu'er showed helplessness on her face.
After sending the three children to school, Su Muer did not stay much longer. She took the money and planned to go to the government today to register the opening of the store next month.
If you want to do business in this capital, you still need to have a good relationship with the government, so she brought an extra hundred taels of silver notes with her today, thinking of bribing the prefect later.
Although I heard that the Shuntian Mansion in the capital was no better than the yamen in other small areas, not only did it have more power, but the prefects were also extraordinary, but Su Muer thought, the crows in the world are generally black, how can there be officials who do not accept bribes?
She came to the backyard of the Shuntian government office. The registration of her shop was a trivial matter, so she only needed to register it with the master of the government office, and then ask the prefect to stamp it, and then issue a business license to her.
But this step may be said to be fast, but may be said to be slow.
For this reason, she brought a banknote, just to make the matter faster.
After the official guard in the backyard of the government office made the announcement, he took her to the front yard to register with the master.
The master of Shuntian Mansion is an older man. He looks a bit like a teacher, so he doesn't look pedantic.
"Hello, Master."
The master held the account book and nodded, "Well, you want to open a shop in Wutong Lane, Bali Street, Beijing?"
"Exactly, I came to see Master today for registration."
The master nodded, "Well, there is a pen here. Write down the name and address of your shop, as well as your own name and home address. After I have registered, you have to take it to the prefect to stamp it, so that I can give you
You issue a business license."
Su Mu'er said that she understood. She had already explored these steps before, so after a while, she took the master's registration certificate to find the prefect.
According to the official announcement, the prefect was discussing matters with others in the front hall, so she was asked to wait in the side hall behind the front hall.
After the officer finished explaining, he went to do other things. Su Muer stood in this side hall and looked around for a while. Although it had been five or six years since she traveled here, this was the first time she had entered this government office. As for the court hall,
, she even had no chance to go there.
She stood here for a while and then sat for a while. Half an hour seemed to have passed in the blink of an eye, but the prefect still did not show up.
She couldn't help but feel a little anxious. She was going through the formalities according to the rules, so why didn't the prefect come to see her for so long?
She held the registration book that her master had given her in her hand and walked out of the side hall. Now she only needed to pass by a verandah to reach the main hall.
Wandering in the verandah for a while, she couldn't help but wonder if the prefect was too old and had forgotten her here? Then wasn't her wait in vain?
Thinking of this, she walked into the back door of the main hall and walked to the front hall.
Through the screen, she faintly heard the sound of someone talking. She raised her feet and looked inside through the screen. She was about to go looking for the sound, but accidentally bumped into a spittoon at her feet.
“Boom, bang, bang…”
She stuck out her tongue and glanced at her feet. Fortunately, it was empty. She hurriedly bent over to help her. The people who were discussing seemed to have heard the movement here and walked over.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I wasn't careful..."
She straightened the spittoon and apologized, blaming herself for being too reckless.
But the moment she looked up, she was surprised to find that she knew this person.
"you?"
"It's you?"
The two people blurted out almost at the same time.
