Chapter 469 Why is Senior Brother Not Being Rigorous?
When the two returned to Meiyuan, the Chang Geng Star in the sky was particularly bright, and the sky was about to be bright.
Mingruo went to the bathroom to take a hot bath, drank a bowl of hot milk, eggs, fermented glutinous rice, and went to bed with his own exclusive "pillow".
It was bright and Cuihuan walked out of the Buddhist temple and went to the kitchen to get breakfast for the princess. At the beginning, she didn't realize that there was something wrong. Because the Buddhist temple was remote, it was normal that there was no one around.
However, as we walked along the way, we didn’t even see the maids and mothers who cleaned up the morning in the huge palace, which was a bit strange.
Cui Huan walked into the yard where the big kitchen was located and found it was quiet inside. Usually, it was the time when the yards were circulating breakfast and the village was delivering vegetables to the mansion. It was impossible to be so quiet.
Looking at the kitchen, there was a big lock on the door. Cui Huan's heart skipped a beat. She felt like the prince had left with the whole mansion, leaving only their master and servant here.
The butler of the royal palace opened his eyes and found that he was sleeping in the corridor. He was frozen outside for a night, his body was stiff and he couldn't move. He quickly called the servant to come and help him, but no one answered.
No matter how sleepy I was, I wouldn't be able to sleep outside on such a cold day. The butler quickly rubbed his hands and feet, took a little rest, and ran to the main courtyard where King Li lived.
As soon as I entered the yard, my heart was cold. The guards guarding the gate, even the secret guards hiding in the dark, lay down all over the yard.
The housekeeper couldn't take care of that much and broke into King Li's bedroom: "Prince!"
Fortunately, the prince was not assassinated. He called him more than a dozen times and then responded.
Si Yan slowly opened his eyes and saw the butler's face was anxious. He rubbed his slightly heavy head. He had been sleeping for many years and had not been sleeping until dawn: "When is it now?"
"It's almost time..." The housekeeper replied tremblingly, wondering if he should tell the prince what was going on outside now.
"So late?" Si Jian frowned. He personally stared at the secret warehouse at the secret warehouse last night at the banknote. He slept a little later than usual, but he had insomnia. No matter how late he slept, he would never sleep for so long.
"Prince, we are afraid that we have been plotted to death. The whole mansion has slept to death. The slave... slept all night in the veranda last night." The butler probably felt hot, and now he was so cold that he just wanted to tremble.
"What!" Si Yan thought of Shi's mansion, even the people in the mansion had slept to death...
Si Jian immediately jumped up from the bed, pulled a robe and walked out while wearing it. Seeing the secret guards who were lying on the ground in the yard, he suddenly felt something was wrong and hurriedly headed towards the secret warehouse.
When Si Jian saw the empty secret warehouse, his eyes suddenly turned dark. If the housekeeper had not helped him, he would have fallen head-on.
He shook the butler's hand and hurried to the other two secret warehouses. Fortunately, there was no trace of being moved by the secret room where jewelry and antiques were stored.
"Feng Muyuan, I am incompatible with you!" Although there was no evidence, Si Jian had already determined in his heart that it was Feng Muyuan who moved away the silver from Mikuli.
First of all, the Li Palace was like the Shi Palace, and the whole mansion was stunned. Secondly, there must be Xikang's fine work hidden in the Shi Palace, and followed the path they carried the silver last night and entered the palace. The most hateful thing is that not only did they take away the silver from the Shi Palace, but they also took away the silver he had vacancies from the national treasury for so many years.
The more Si Yan thought about it, the more angry he became. In the end, he really fell ill.
Because I have to leave the Emperor Capital for a long time, Mingruo has a lot of things to be busy with. Not only do I have to prepare a large number of Chinese patent medicines for a pharmacy, Yunzhuanglou and Jian Mingxuan, but I also have to launch a batch of new clothes, jewelry and dishes before the New Year.
Several residences that often walk around also need to prepare New Year's Ceremony. If they want to leave Beijing, the New Year's Ceremony must be prepared in advance. In the Duke's Mansion, some commonly used medicines must be prepared for grandfather and grandmother. Now that winter is now, the plaster for applying legs to grandfather must be arranged.
Mingruo was busy, but he heard that King Li was very ill this time. He had to drink two cents of ginseng soup with a hundred-year-old ginseng dangling every day. He only used the top part of the "Ginseng Reed" and did not use any other edges or corners. For a while, the ginseng ginseng of the Centennials with good quality in the imperial capital had a lot of silver, but the supply was still in short supply.
Chen Cong is even more good at doing business, but he doesn't raise the price. But he cut the ginseng reeds off the longest position and sold the whole ginseng for the price. Even the rest is vain. According to Lao Shen, we ordinary people are not as expensive as the prince. As long as it is ginseng, all parts are useful, and the prince can also use the rest.
After half a month of busy work, it was finally time for Prince Yun to go on a mission to Xikang. The Honglu Temple and the Ministry of Rites sent three officials, bringing three subordinates and three servants, and the birthday gift prepared by the Ministry of Rites for Emperor Sheng. A total of seven carriages were carried by people and objects, and 200 elite soldiers were picked from the Northwest Army as guards to accompany him.
Si Haochen always had light chariots when he went out. This time he had two carriages. He brought three people from the first day of the lunar month, fifteenth day of the lunar month, and Xunyi as both guards and coachmen. Mingruo only brought A Yuan, a maid.
The three people from the Ministry of Rites and the Honglu Temple, seeing Prince Yun and the Princess so simple, look at him as a big man, and he feels ashamed to bring such people and things.
Yan Zhaobai also took the envoy of Nanrong and set off with Prince Yun's team. There was a long way to go to Nanrong and Xikang, and it was said that there was some care on the road.
In fact, twenty people from the Northwest Army as guards were transferred from the navy. Then they were going to return to Nanrong with Yan Zhaobai and receive training in Haiwei's army.
Mingruo came up with this method of "study abroad".
The group of people walked to the Shili Pavilion outside the city and met the Xikang delegation led by Feng Muyuan. Feng Muyuan was abused by Si Jian these days and expressed his desire to go with Prince Yun.
Si Haochen rejected Feng Muyuan on the grounds that there were too many people in the team and could not stay at the post station.
Ming Ruo rolled his eyes: "I used to bite my fifth brother with a worm, but now I want us to take you with me... Although I am ugly, I think it's pretty beautiful!"
Yan Zhaobai smiled and shook his head, and saw someone in the pavilion: "Your senior brother is here to see you again."
"Ah!" Ming Ruo was startled. Eighty-most people from the Ministry of Rites and the Honglu Temple were Danxu's eyes. When did the senior brother be so rude about his work...
Si Haochen and Ming Ruo both got off the carriage and walked into Shili Pavilion.
Jun Che was sitting in the pavilion wearing a white fox fur cloak. When the wind blew, the fox fur trembled slightly, and the fairy spirit was a little more elegant. The little silver fox called "Scarf" lay at his feet. The picture was like a scroll, so beautiful that it made people reluctant to disturb him.
