Chapter 250 Gift
Chapter 250 Gift
Mu Yao sent some letters to her husbands.
Southern Xinjiang is located in the tropics, so she brought all the heat-relief and brain-stimulating pills with her.
There was a loud clanging sound in the room. Wang Yanzhi looked at Mu Yao's flustered appearance, his heart ached and he felt so uncomfortable that he couldn't breathe.
Is this hard-earned good life going to end so soon?
"When will you come back?" The boy stood there motionless, with dead eyes.
Mu Yao paused, moved her lips, thought for a moment and said, "Very soon, probably about a month." She smiled and started to work again.
Wang Yanzhi smiled bitterly: "It takes at least 20 days to go back and forth from here to Southern Xinjiang. If you stay there for ten days, will the Emperor of Southern Xinjiang let you go back?"
Certainly not!
Once she arrives in southern Xinjiang, she will no longer have the final say.
Mu Yao was extremely anxious, but Ji Qi's identity was something she couldn't explain.
Only her father and Xu Qingcheng knew the identity of the leader of the Bloodthirsty Pavilion. She originally thought that Xu Qingcheng would report it to the court, causing a storm. Unexpectedly, he has kept his mouth shut and has not told anyone, which makes Mu Yao feel completely at ease.
Wang Yanzhi was different. If he knew Ji Qi's identity, who knows what he would do. And Helian Yun. The knife of the killer of the Bloodthirsty Pavilion almost killed him. The whole Helian Mansion hated the Bloodthirsty Pavilion.
Ji Qi came incognito this time, without a large army. She didn't dare to think about the possibility of a conflict between the two sides. Moreover, she still had many things to explain to Ji Qi.
Mu Yao feels like she is on edge now. Only by sending Ji Qi away as soon as possible can life return to peace as before.
"Shao You, Ji Qi and I spend so little time together that it's not fair to him. I'm his wife, so I should go to southern Xinjiang to take a look. Don't worry, I'm afraid of the heat, so I can't stay for too long."
"Then I'll go with you." Wang Yanzhi said thoughtfully. He had never taken a long vacation since he entered the officialdom. Emperor Qingyuan should not stop him.
"No!" Mu Yao refused flatly with a firm tone, leaving no room for maneuver.
Wang Yanzhi's face immediately turned three shades paler, but Mu Yao still held back her heartache and remained unmoved.
Wang Yanzhi, Yu Heng, Xiao Douxue and Shi Jingchan must not appear in front of Ji Qi, at least not now. He changed the subject and said, "Shaoyou, the new house I bought is currently being renovated. You can go and choose a yard when you have time. Take these banknotes and use them for your purchases."
After she finished speaking, Mu Yao took out a stack of banknotes from the wooden box beside her and handed it to him.
The disappointment on Erlang's face was revealed without any disguise. For the first time, Mu Yao turned a blind eye.
Among her nine husbands, no matter how skilled Shen Chutang and Wei Wushang were in martial arts, no matter how prominent Helian Yun's family background was, no matter how high Xie Ci's official position was, they could not compete with the Emperor of Southern Xinjiang who had an army of two million brave and powerful soldiers.
Wang Yanzhi pursed his lips and said nothing. The air pressure around him dropped suddenly, and the cold air quickly filled the whole room.
He clenched the banknote tightly, veins popping out on the back of his hands, turned around abruptly, and strode away.
The scarlet in the corners of his eyes slowly spread, and the anger in his chest almost burned his sanity out.
Mu Yao stared at his departing back, her mind full of thoughts. But now was not the time to let her emotions get the better of her.
Of the ten husbands, Ji Qi was the most difficult one to figure out. If she had been a little more confident, she wouldn't be so frightened now.
At the hour of Xu, the clear light from the white jade plate sprinkled on the bluestone slabs, and the winding stone patterns were clearly visible.
The shops on both sides of the street gradually turned off their lights and closed down, but Baoxiang Silver Shop on Lanzhong Street was still brightly lit.
"Li Dan, stop the car." Mu Yao shouted.
The building was deserted, with only a young man dozing off at the counter.
Mu Yao cleared her cough, and when her son didn't respond, she coughed harder.
The guy's eyelids twitched twice, and he slowly opened his eyes, but his consciousness was still floating. He stared at the person who came in a daze, then suddenly jumped up and stood up.
"Madam, it's you!" The waiter Qiao Sheng immediately perked up and greeted warmly.
The noble lady helped him close two deals in succession, but he didn't expect that the fairy would come to give him money again so soon.
"My lady, we just received a batch of belt hooks. How about I show them to you?"
Qiao Sheng discovered that this graceful lady bought all accessories for her husband. Her husband is so lucky!
This suggestion pleased her very much, and Mu Yao nodded happily.
Gold, silver, jade and stone.
There are more than twenty kinds of belt hooks placed in front of me, each with its own merits.
After looking at it for several times, his eyes finally fell on a jade belt hook with Ganoderma lucidum pattern.
"Let's take this one." Mu Yao raised her finger and made her decision.
"Your Highness has good eyesight. This jade hook is made entirely of old yellow jade. It has superior texture, fine workmanship, and lustrous color. I'm not exaggerating. This treasure is unique in our Lanling County." Qiao Sheng swallowed and couldn't help rubbing his hands.
"How much?" Mu Yao asked with a satisfied nod.
When it came to the point, Qiao Sheng's eyes lit up immediately, and his eyebrows were so curved that his pupils were almost invisible.
"Two hundred and eighty thousand taels. Your Excellency is a regular customer of our Baoxiang Restaurant. We will give you a discount. How about two hundred and fifty thousand taels?"
"Okay." Mu Yao agreed readily.
It’s only two hundred and fifty thousand taels, less than one-third of Wushang’s ring, it’s no big deal.
On second thought, she seemed to have not considered it well. Ji Qi was the emperor and had run the Treasure Pavilion. What treasures had he not seen?
No!
"Do you have any better treasures here? Something suitable for my son?" Mu Yao asked leisurely. If there is nothing better, then I can only take this jade hook first. The gift is small but the sentiment is great. I believe Ji Qi will like it.
Better baby?
All the cells in Qiao Sheng's body were mobilized in an instant.
"My lady, please wait a moment."
After a while, Qiao Sheng carefully brought an exquisite wooden box.
After opening it, an imperial green lotus sac suddenly came into view.
It has transparent color, intricate carvings and novel shape. It is a rare fine product.
"How much is this?" Mu Yao liked it at first sight.
Qiao Sheng held his breath and stretched out five fingers.
Wow, it’s worthy of being called imperial green!
Mu Yao hesitated for a moment, then readily took out the banknote.
Even when they were far away from Baoxiang Building, Qiao Sheng still maintained his 45-degree bow in farewell gesture.
Night falls.
The horses' hooves stepped lightly as they passed through the streets, and the loud "dead dead" sounds echoed in the night sky, clear and melodious.
Yan Wu and Yan Yan are still on duty at the gate of Mu Garden today.
Mu Yao dismounted, lifted up her veil and stepped forward, saying with a smile: "Yan Yan, Yan Wu, long time no see."
The two of them recognized Mu Yao instantly, rubbed their eyes fiercely and greeted her: "Empress, are you well!"
After such a long time, the emperor and empress could not have expected that they could recognize these two insignificant little people at a glance, and their chests were boiling with excitement.
The villa was completely silent. A few big red lanterns decorated the corridors, illuminating the pomegranate trees in the garden with a faint red glow.
Mu Yao picked up a ripe red pomegranate and gently broke it open. The red pearls were tightly packed together and arranged in an orderly manner. She took a sip and her mouth was full of sweetness. She picked up another one and walked all the way to the main courtyard.
Lu Shen and Fu Yuan were guarding outside the courtyard. When they saw Mu Yao, they were stunned and their eyes were filled with disbelief.
Just as he was about to move his lips, Mu Yao made a gesture to keep quiet.
There was flickering candlelight in the room, and the "bang bang bang" sound of someone knocking on the door broke the quiet night.
