Lu Yunhong was suspicious and glanced at Song Muting.
Song Muting stood up and nodded solemnly.
"It was said that it was already stable, but when the envoy from the Sun Academy returned to the palace to revive, he suddenly started bleeding again. When the envoy from the Sun Academy returned, Princess Anjun was no longer angry."
Lu Yunhong was silent and didn't speak.
Song Muting said: "The emperor seems to blame himself a little. He called Lord Mei to restore the title of King An and the title of Princess An. He made his legitimate son the crown prince and named him Jinghui. He also paid back 30,000 yuan to our Song family for King An.
For two taels of silver, I was asked to take a job in the Ministry of Industry.
Lu Yunhong nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.
However, he still asked Song Muting: "Who else was in the palace that night besides the envoy Sun?"
Song Muting said: "There is an imperial physician named Zhang."
Lu Yunhong said: "Send someone to keep an eye on them and protect them secretly if necessary. I suspect that Princess An's death is not simple."
When Song Muting heard this, he took a deep breath.
He said in disbelief: "That is his wife, and she has given birth to a child for him. How can he bear it?"
Lu Yunhong said: "In his eyes, everyone except himself is his pawn, including his son."
"As soon as Princess An died, his current predicament was solved. What a coincidence."
Song Muting said: "Our Song family and Prince An's family have established a good relationship. Now that the emperor has taken the initiative to make peace, both sides will no longer pursue it, but it will be difficult to say in the future."
Lu Yunhong said: "If you are worried, with the capabilities of your Song family, it shouldn't be difficult to send people to sea, right?"
"What's more, I don't think you need to worry. Although you instigated the matter, who are you, and how can you have the courage to yell at a prince. Prince An will only blame the prince for this debt."
When Song Muting heard this, he was speechless on the spot.
"You even dare to scheme against the prince, you are so brave."
Lu Yunhong said: "What do you mean I dare to scheme against the prince? We and the prince are in the same boat. If the prince's boat sinks, our Lu family will be fine?"
"Since I can't, I plan for the Lu family, the Wang family, and the prince. Isn't it right to eliminate a scourge?"
Song Muting: "..."
Well, what Lu Yunhong said is true.
But what he is worried about now is whether the prince will have a grudge against Lu Yunhong because of this. Thinking that Lu Yunhong also stood up for the Song family, Song Muting said guiltily: "If the prince is suspicious of you because of this, what will you do?"
Lu Yunhong said: "The prince is suspicious of me, and at most he will alienate me. He also needs the support of the Wang family and will not do anything to me."
"On the contrary, you should do your best after taking office. Leave those business matters to me."
"Besides, I see that Geng Su next to you is pretty good. Please give him to me."
When Song Muting saw Lu Yunhong bargaining, he didn't take his worries into consideration at all. He couldn't help laughing and said, "You dare to use my people?"
Lu Yunhong said: "Why not? I know that he is a slave of your Song family and he is loyal. But what I want to do is just to make two dollars, and I am not afraid of you knowing."
Song Muting was slightly shocked after hearing this, and immediately nodded in agreement.
"Okay, then Geng Su will be at your disposal from now on. For business matters, you ask him to contact Changqing."
Lu Yunhong said: "Geng Su alone is not enough. You go back and ask Ji Yunwei to send their chief manager, Uncle Cao. He is the most useful person in their family. It would be a pity to stay with him."
Song Muting: "..."
Uncle Cao was proficient in magic and was the most capable assistant of the Ji family. Lu Yunhong asked for it, which was really arrogant.
But for some reason, Song Muting had a hunch that the Ji family would give him this person.
The next day, Song Muting went to Ji's house and talked about this matter with Ji Yunwei. Ji Yunwei said: "Uncle Cao, my father is about to ask him to retire and return to his hometown."
"What a coincidence. If he is willing to follow Lu Yunhong, I have no problem with it."
Song Muting almost suspected that there was something wrong with his memory. Uncle Cao was only about forty, so why did he retire and return home?
As a result, when he saw him, he found out that Bo Cao was still strong and strong. Looking at the way he walked, it was clear that he was a man who practiced martial arts diligently.
Those triangular eyes were slightly narrowed, and the light was spinning in a circle. For such a person, the Ji family is actually willing to let him go?
Ji Yunwei said: "Uncle Cao, you are free now, and my father has allowed you to return to your hometown for retirement. Logically speaking, I shouldn't be too meddlesome. But you also know my good friend. He is Lu Yunhong, the number one scholar in the mainland.
.I don’t know what the madness is all about. I want to go into business. Please ask me to ask Uncle Cao if he would like to go over and run some errands.”
Hearing this, Uncle Cao smiled and said, "I have been living in the Ji family, and I have been served by people who eat and drink. I have never been more comfortable these past few decades. The Ji family has many shops, and both the master and the uncle have become officials, so it is not easy to manage. In this case
, why not let me go out with Lu Zhuangyuan and take care of the Ji family's business."
Ji Yunwei looked at Song Muting and said: Uncle Cao is willing.
Soon, Uncle Cao went down to clean up.
Ji Yunwei took Song Muting with him, and the two of them followed him furtively and discovered that Uncle Cao had gone to the study.
In the study, Uncle Cao was reporting to Ji Yunwei's father, Ji Xiangrong, that Lu Yunhong had asked him to run errands.
Ji Xiangrong stroked his beard and said with a smile: "I just said that Lu Yunhong would not mess with this for no reason. He really doesn't want to become an official. It's good, with him around, I can feel more at ease."
Cao Bo said, "I don't know yet, do you want to tell me?"
Ji Xiangrong said: "If he can understand it, we don't need to tell him. If he can't understand it, it's useless to say it."
Outside the study, Ji Yunwei and Song Muting left quietly.
The two of them walked to a secluded place, and Ji Yunwei said: "I finally understand that Lu Yunhong is determined to promote you to become an official. In fact, I have thought about it carefully. If you don't become an official, the fate of the Song family will only be worse.
Now, we can still help each other, which is good."
Song Muting said: "Let two people who are good at business be officials, and let one who is good at being an official go into business. What does he want?"
Ji Yunwei thought for a while and told the truth: "Probably, the distance between him and power is only a short distance away. Because it is within reach, there is nothing to think about."
"And I...without the help of my brothers, if I can keep the family business, I cannot keep the power of the Ji family. I will always choose one."
"He made the choice for me and will continue to make money for me. Why wouldn't I do it?"
"You too, relax. Our work as officials is different from other people's work. We are not short of money."
"Everything is left to others to fish for. We have to maintain a good relationship between superiors and subordinates. We can add insult to injury or save people from danger. Just be happy."
Song Muting: "..."
His three senses were distorted, and then he thought about it suspiciously, and found that it was supposed to be like this.
For a moment, Song Muting was confused and felt that he had been deceived and boarded a pirate ship.
Just when he was in a trance and unable to make a decision, Ding Hu, the errand boy beside Ji Yunwei, ran back to report: "Master, the eldest princess has also gone to the countryside."
Ji Yunwei said: "Sure enough, I knew she would go. Did you ask someone to go to the countryside in advance to report the news?"
Ding Hu said: "Hey, I asked Er Shun to go."
Song Muting didn't understand, so he quickly grabbed Ji Yunwei and asked, "Are you spying on the eldest princess?"
Ji Yunwei brushed his hand away and said angrily: "What do you mean by monitoring me? I wouldn't dare even if you gave me a hundred courages. It's about Princess An. The eldest princess almost died in childbirth. Have you forgotten?
, you don’t know at all, do you?”
"I saw the eldest princess go to Prince An's Mansion, so I knew that she would be moved by the scene. I remembered the life-saving grace my sister-in-law had given her in the past, so I asked my servants to keep a close eye on her."
Song Muting murmured: "It's a bit impressive."
Ji Yunwei said: "That's right, anyway."
"Hey... what can I tell you? Even if the prince will be angry with Yunhong, the backer of the wife is actually the eldest princess. The Wang family has the prince, and the wife has the eldest princess. We are like a tripod, seemingly standing on the
Roasted on the fire, it is actually very stable, and there is no need to worry about the wind and waves in the court."
"Of course, if you have a bad back and are hit by a carriage when you go out, I can only blame you for your bad luck, not your lack of support."
Song Muting pushed Lu Yunhong hard and said angrily: "You are just unlucky."
After he finished speaking, he tidied up his clothes and walked away in a big way.
Ji Yunwei called him: "Where are you going now?"
Song Muting hummed: "Measure yourself and make official uniforms!"
Ji Yunwei: "..." The smile overflowed from his eyes for some reason.
Come on, another one has been tricked into accompanying him!
What is this called?
Just like the official career is as deep as the sea, from now on, we are committed to forming allies?
