Concubine Zhou usually doesn't care about things. When Mrs. Zhou mentioned this matter, she actually asked Princess Huaichang for her opinion and asked her to handle the matter.
Princess Huaichang looked at Mu Yunhan: "Sister, have you ever heard of this man?"
When Mu Yunhan was in Meizhou, in order to deal with the schemes of Dong Henian and others, he used Su Jiuzhou's name to make a scheme and successfully sold a large number of medicinal materials. Therefore, he said it clearly:
"Su Jiuzhou is one of the top businessmen in Qi State, and his business is huge. He also has business in Zhao State, involving jewelry, medicinal materials, silk and cotton, etc., and his business is not small."
The relationship between Qi and Zhao is complicated, but it does not go so far as to prohibit private trade.
Since Su Jiuzhou has always been engaged in business, but now he suddenly came to seek help from the Queen Mother, it means that what he is looking for must not be ordinary business.
If you do this kind of thing well, you won't get much credit, but if you don't do it well, you'll get into trouble.
Princess Huaichang pondered for a moment and said: "My aunt refused, we are too small and weak to handle this matter."
Mrs. Zhou was very disappointed: "Your Highness, isn't it just a matter of talking to the Queen Mother? Just say that someone wants to offer a peacock brocade, and the rest is the Queen Mother's own business. I heard that he also approached the Lin family.
."
Princess Huaichang waved her hand: "It's not that simple. If the Lin family wants to take over this matter, let them do it. We won't get involved."
Mrs. Zhou hurriedly said to Concubine Zhou: "My dear, please speak."
Concubine Zhou smiled slightly: "I don't understand things outside the palace."
Madam Zhou's eyes were red.
Princess Huaichang frowned: "What did you receive from others?"
Mrs. Zhou was startled and waved her hands hurriedly: "It's okay. Now is the time when the storm is raging. Who dares to collect the things of the people of Qi?"
Princess Huaichang got angry: "Auntie also knows this truth?"
Mrs. Zhou lowered her head in embarrassment and did not dare to say anything anymore.
Zhou Bin raised her hand to cover her mouth and yawned lightly.
Princess Huaichang stood up and said, "Concubine, we are leaving."
Concubine Zhou nodded and asked the palace servants to bring out a brocade box: "When we meet for the first time, I should give you a gift. These are two pairs of jade rings, one for you and one for your sister Mu Ying."
After Mu Yunhan thanked him, he hurriedly left.
It's really embarrassing to overhear other people's housework.
Princess Huaichang didn't take it to heart and said with a smile: "Isn't my mother-in-law a great beauty? It's a pity that my appearance is not one-tenth as good as hers."
"Your Highness is too self-effacing. You look like my father, more dignified and dignified."
Mu Yunhan sincerely comforted her. Although she was far inferior to Zhou Concubine, she was still a beauty.
"It's a pity that the mother-in-law is not in good health..." Princess Huaichang touched her face melancholy and said with a smile: "Since we have all come out, why not go and greet the Queen Mother and tell her about your departure from the palace."
It was very quiet in Shou'an Palace. Aunt Ying personally stood guard outside and did not allow anyone to wander around.
Princess Huaichang lowered her voice: "It seems that we came at an unlucky time. Does the Imperial Grandmother have guests?"
Aunt Ying smiled and did not answer Princess Huaichang's words. She only said to Mu Yunhan: "The girl looks much better."
Mu Yunhan chuckled: "Thanks to the Queen Mother."
Suddenly I heard the Queen Mother say from inside: "Is that Han girl outside?"
Aunt Ying quickly replied: "Her Royal Highness the Princess and Miss Mu are here to pay their respects to the Empress."
The Queen Mother said: "Let them come in."
Mu Yunhan walked in and saw Gu Fenglin sitting aside. (To be continued)
