After listening to Zi Yan's words, both Fu Mingyu and Xin Rui who were standing inside the house, and Qi Yunhai and Yang Si who were on duty outside the house were also deeply moved. Even Qi Yunhai, Yang Si, Chen Chen and Cheng Yun were deeply moved.
They are just guards in the palace, but they come from poor families and rely on martial arts to fight with punches and kicks. Naturally, the efforts and sweat they put in are something that the young masters of wealthy families cannot appreciate.
Even though they have all been selected into the inner guard, there are still hierarchies among the inner guards. For example, even if they are on duty, they still have to serve tea and water to the children of the noble and wealthy families, and they will not be able to serve them even if they are asked a little favor.
Zhou, overtly and covertly, wears small shoes. So now they are more comfortable with Fu Mingyu than in the palace, at least they don't have to think about some things that are not there...
The Queen Mother treats them well. Not only does she not eliminate their military positions, in addition to their monthly salary, the Queen Mother also allocates money from her private treasury to subsidize them. So as long as you work hard with Fu Mingyu, you will be brighter than in the palace.
many.
There may be less room for promotion, but compared to being the lowest-level guards in the palace, they can be said to live like gods with Fu Mingyu.
"By the way, Yang Si, I have a matter for you to handle." Fu Mingyu thought about it, but still felt uneasy. Although her memory was vague, she always felt that the crisis at the border started this winter.
,
"Your Majesty, please give me your instructions." Yang Si came in and said, clasping his fists.
"Hurry up and go to Linchuan City." Fu Mingyu said.
Linchuan is the city and county closest to the Mobei border, and it is also the largest city and county. The Dingguo Duke's mansion has a residence there. If there is no war, the Mobei General's mansion is in Linchuan.
"I don't know why the princess asked her subordinate to go to Linchuan?" Yang Si looked at Fu Mingyu in confusion.
"I want you to go over there and buy a rice noodle shop." Fu Mingyu said, "I will go to my sister-in-law later and ask her parents to send a knowledgeable person to accompany you."
"Does the princess want to open the shop to Linchuan?" Yang Si asked.
"Yes." Fu Mingyu nodded.
She always felt that there was something wrong, so she might as well go to Linchuan and open a shop herself, so that she could grasp the trends at the border at the first time. In any case, the price of rice and grain was the most sensitive. If nothing happened at the border, then
She can run a small business peacefully, not seeking to make money, as long as she doesn't lose money. If something happens at the border, she can also have a stronghold at the border, whether it's to transport something across or to get some useful information, it's all good.
"Yes." Yang Si nodded.
"It's better to hurry up and don't waste time. I'll ask the Changshan Mansion's grandfather's family to help get some food over first." Fu Mingyu said.
"Yes." Yang Si calculated the distance, "I'll try my best to come back before the end of the year."
"Okay. You go and make preparations first. I'll go find my sister-in-law to ask someone to go." Fu Mingyu asked Yang Si to go down and prepare for the trip, and then drafted a letter and sent it to Changshan Mansion using the carrier pigeon left by his cousins.
After finishing these things, Fu Mingyu took Ziyan's newly made pastries to her sister-in-law's room.
Cheng Yingying is about to give birth here. After squatting on the bed for so long, Cheng Yingying felt like she was going to get moldy. When she saw Fu Mingyu coming, she was extremely happy.
"I've been holding back so much these days that I'm just hoping that you and Zhaodi will come and see me. Zhaodi is pregnant now, and your second brother is holding her like a ball in his eye, and he's always keeping an eye on her.
Allow her to go out. I can only count on you." Cheng Yingying quickly asked Fu Mingyu to sit down and complained to her.
"Where's Xiaobao?" Fu Mingyu looked around and didn't see the eldest grandson of the Fu family, so she asked curiously.
"At the nanny's side, I just took her out to take a bath." Cheng Yingying's face grew a full circle because of the confinement period, and she smiled very kindly. "You have been busy these two days, right?"
"I'm okay, but my little aunt has been busy with other things." Fu Mingyu said with a smile.
"Yes, my mother has lost weight these days, but she is in good spirits. I really want to switch with her. Look how fat I have become!" Cheng Yingying pinched the flesh on her cheeks.
muttered.
"It will be fine when you are out of confinement!" Fu Mingyu was amused by Cheng Yingying and said happily. "By the way, sister-in-law, I came here to see you for something!"
"Tell me about you. I even used the word "you", but you didn't know it?" Cheng Xiuxiu angrily slapped Fu Mingyu, "Tell me, I will do my best if I can help!"
"I want to borrow someone from you." Fu Mingyu expressed her thoughts. Cheng Xiuxiu's maiden family is the largest rice, flour, grain and oil merchant in the capital. Except for the palace business, her family's treasure name is everywhere in the capital.
"What the hell is this!" Cheng Xiuxiu laughed when she heard it, "Our princess is planning for a rainy day before she even gets married!"
"Sister-in-law! I'm asking you to talk serious things, but you're making fun of me!" Fu Mingyu's face suddenly turned red.
Cheng Xiuxiu knew that she had a low reputation, so she stopped teasing, "There really is one person who is my family's son. His father is the shopkeeper of Shop No. 1, and he grew up eating rice and noodles when he was young.
.Originally, his father wanted him to study, but his family had a lowly status and could not get away from it, so even if he passed the exam, he would not be able to become an official. This road was closed. His deed of sale was in my natal family.
, is lifelong
Yes, I will simply give him to you, so that he can follow you, which can be regarded as fulfilling a wish of his father and old shopkeeper. Following you is no different from becoming an official. It is said that the maids in front of the prime minister's door are all nine.
Not to mention working for the princess. Don’t worry, although he is young, he is a good hand inside and out. In the past two years, his father has basically not been in charge of things. He has been doing everything, and he has done a lot.
It’s prosperous.”
When Fu Mingyu heard this, she felt that this was a good feeling. "Then your mother's family would be willing?"
"Hey, I brought it up. What's wrong with my mother-in-law?" Cheng Xiuxiu said with a smile, "My father loves me the most. Don't worry, I'll ask him to see you soon. You can see if it's appropriate first.
, if it’s suitable, just use it.”
"Okay!" Fu Mingyu was relieved.
Cheng Xiuxiu was a warm-hearted person, so she quickly called her maid and asked her to go to her parents' house.
Fu Mingyu didn't even finish two cups of tea when the maid came back and said it was shopkeeper Xiao Zhao.
Cheng Xiuxiu had someone close a curtain. She was still in confinement and could not see her husband, so she watched from behind the curtain and asked Fu Mingyu to interview the young man himself.
Not long after, a young man of about twenty years old entered the door. He was wearing a blue shirt and a white coat, and his hair was tied back with the same azure hairband. At first glance, he gave people a very clean feeling.
He has a handsome face and has the aura of a scholar. He doesn't have the odor of a businessman, but has a very friendly power.
Fu Mingyu felt very satisfied when she first saw him.
