Chapter 226 She is getting married!
The "Zhuxiang Yayuan" that Luo Chen found was the residence of Lord Lu, the Minister of Works.
The reason Mrs. Lu released him was that Minister Lu was allergic to flowers and plants...
In her previous life, Xu Rongrong had heard of "Zhuxiang Yayuan". Half of the officials knew that the courtyard was the favorite of Minister Lu.
It is said that when Minister Lu left Beijing in his previous life, what he sighed about was not his powerful position as Minister of Works, but the courtyard he had personally managed.
Since he can take care of it himself, how could he get allergic reaction?
And the relationship between Lu Zhi and Mu Rong...
Without even thinking, she knew this was Mu Rong's handiwork. She recalled her past life, when she'd drifted like a duckweed in the Marquis's mansion, only Madam Lu had treated her with kindness. In this life, she was entrusted by Mu Rong, and with such good intentions, why would she reject their thoughtfulness?
She smiled and replied, "If your brother thinks it's good, then let's decide."
"Okay!"
Xu Rongrong continued, "There's one more thing that will require your brother's attention."
"Miss, please tell me."
"Since His Majesty has ordered the Third Prince to redeem the people who were sold outside the border, I believe the reopening of border trade is not far away. Perhaps a conclusion will be reached at the morning court in the next two days. Once border trade is open, porcelain from the Great Zhou will be extremely rare in the outside world. In the next few days, please ask him to purchase more porcelain from the official kilns and set up the shop."
Luo Shu smiled upon hearing this and said, "What a coincidence! My brother thought the same thing, so he's been running a porcelain shop recently and ordered a batch of Ru kiln porcelain. It's already on the way!"
Xu Rongrong smiled and nodded:
She was indeed not wrong about Luo Chen.
She relied on her memories of her past life, while he relied on his vision.
In his previous life, after he left Beijing with Luo Shu's ashes, he disappeared without a trace. Until her death, she never heard from him again.
Perhaps with his wisdom, he would have had a good ending in his previous life.
……
After returning from court, Mu Rong just dismounted in front of the door when he saw Mu Yi with a worried look on his face.
"What happened?" Mu Rong handed the whip and reins to Mu Lu behind him and asked.
Mu Yi lowered his voice: "Master, the eldest lady has agreed to live in the house of Zhuxiang Yayuan... I'm afraid she will move out soon." His master has put a lot of thought into the eldest lady. If he knew that she was going to move out, he would be very sad.
But he didn't expect that Mu Rong was smiling.
He patted Mu Yi and said, "This is a good thing. Why are you looking so sad?"
"Good thing?" Mu Yi was confused for a moment.
"Of course! This means...she's getting ready to get married!"
After saying that, he walked towards Xinghui Hall excitedly.
As soon as he entered the Taoist temple, he was stopped by a woman in bright clothes.
"What's the matter?" He frowned and looked at Wai.
"How long are you going to keep me locked up?" Wai raised his head and glared at him, the silver collar around his neck jingling.
"When your brother is ready to leave the capital, I will send you to meet him." Mu Rong looked at her.
Recalling the ending of Wai's previous life, he added, "The situation in the Great Zhou is complicated. It's not a place for someone like you. When you return, listen to your father and brothers' arrangements and stay well in Southern Xinjiang."
If for no other reason, it was because she had saved Xu Rongrong's life in this life, and Mu Rong didn't want her to die in the capital.
What's more, if she died, the hatred between the Great Zhou and Southern Xinjiang would require the lives of countless people to clear.
After he finished speaking, he strode into Xinghui Hall.
Leaving Wai with a puzzled look on his face, he was stopped outside the yard by Mu Lu.
Xu Rongrong heard the noise outside and was about to come out to see what was going on, but Mu Rong came over and pulled her back into the house: "I just came out of court, please have dinner with me."
"Is it Miss Wai?" Xu Rongrong asked. She had always wanted to meet the lively girl from southern Xinjiang.
After all, the teeth marks on Chu He's wrist had left a deep impression on her. Unfortunately, Mu Rong wouldn't allow them to meet, no matter what she said.
"He's just a weird person." Mu Rong changed the subject.
"Why don't you let me see her?" Xu Rongrong asked.
Mu Rong straightened her collar and said, "That person is quite eccentric. Who knows what she's up to?"
Xu Rongrong glanced at him and said, "After all, he saved my life. Isn't it mean-spirited to speculate like this?"
"I would rather be a villain than gamble with you..." Mu Rong murmured.
He held the girl in his arms and said, "I really don't want to experience the feeling of losing half my life again."
Listening to the sound of his heart beating like a drum, Xu Rongrong sighed slightly.
Soon, breakfast arrived. Mu Rong had been rushing to court, and his stomach was already empty. Now with his beautiful woman by his side, he ate this breakfast with great pleasure.
After he put down his chopsticks, Xu Rongrong asked, "Is there any good news at the court this morning?"
Mu Rong was wiping his mouth with a handkerchief. Hearing her words, he smiled brightly: "Rongrong is really smart."
"Since you have such a good appetite, it's not hard to guess."
Mu Rong nodded. "At the court this morning, His Majesty agreed to reopen border trade. Third Brother is going to Fanwai this time, firstly to redeem the people who were sold, and secondly to personally oversee this matter."
Xu Rongrong smiled upon hearing this and said, "It is indeed good news."
Mu Rong looked at her and said, "That's right, Rongrong will have a lot of money coming in."
His casual words immediately alerted Xu Rongrong. She glanced at Mu Rong and asked, "My Lord, are you talking about the porcelain shop I own?"
Mu Rong was shocked when he heard this and knew that there was something wrong with what he just said. After all, how could a military general like him understand this business?What's more, this porcelain only suddenly became popular after trade in the previous life.
He looked at Xu Rongrong's suspicious gaze and smiled slightly. "I heard a few officials from the Ministry of Revenue discussing this after the court meeting today. They said that this kind of porcelain is extremely rare in foreign countries and is highly sought after by the nobles."
This didn't sound flawless, so Xu Rongrong replied, "If that's the case, I'll accept your kind words, Lord."
Mu Rong breathed a sigh of relief and became more careful when speaking.
After chatting for a while about the deposed Crown Prince, Xu Rongrong sighed, "Yesterday, an edict was issued to depose the Crown Prince and confer him the title of Prince An. Today, at court, the Third Prince was ordered to oversee border trade. I'm afraid there will be undercurrents in the court again, and the Third Prince will be pushed to the forefront. I wonder what Sister Mu will do."
"This matter hasn't come to light yet, so I think it's fine for now. After all, it's the emperor's order, and Third Brother has only accepted a serious mission. People in the court won't act so quickly upon hearing the news. On the contrary... the harem is unusually calm."
"My Lord, are you talking about the Queen?"
"Exactly. This time, when the Crown Prince was deposed, the Empress not only did not cause a scene in the harem, but instead went to His Majesty to express her gratitude, earning His Majesty's deep sympathy. Not only did he allow her to stay overnight in the Upper Study, but this morning, when the Six Palaces paid their respects, he also specifically warned the concubines to strictly observe their duties and not neglect the Empress."
Xu Rongrong couldn't help but sigh: "It turns out that the Queen is really resourceful."
