Jiang Wanchen listened and said: "Red foxes are hard to find, but I know that there is an uncle who likes to collect precious animal furs. Maybe he has the red fox furs you need."
"Then can he sell it to me?" Lu Zhiyun said.
"That uncle is not short of money, but he has an obsession with animal furs. I'm afraid..."
"Then is there any way to make that uncle part with you?"
"In addition to animal fur, he also likes wine. If you can find wine that he has not drunk before, you may have a chance."
"Wine..." Lu Zhiyun thought about the fact that there were still two jars of wine made by her mother at home, and her mother's craftsmanship was absolutely nothing to say. In addition, her mother's method of making wine was different, and the wine she brewed was often taken by his father.
To win people's hearts, she also has great trust in her mother's craftsmanship. "I'm going home first. After I get the wine, can Mr. Jiang help introduce me?"
"Of course, I'll go with you!"
Jiang Wanchen followed Lu Zhiyun to the Lu family.
I took two jars of wine from the Lu family and took a carriage to the Feng family in Hubu.
Lu Zhiyun looked at the plaque of 'Feng Mansion', and Feng Wan'er's figure appeared in her mind.
"Feng Wan'er's home?"
"Yes, do you know Miss Feng?"
"More than just acquaintance."
The young lady from the Feng family looked down upon her and made trouble for her several times.
However, she came to see Master Feng, so she might not be able to meet her.
"What are you doing here at my house?" Feng Wan'er was playing shuttlecock with her girl in the yard when she saw Lu Zhiyun and strode over.
Lu Zhiyun said: "I have something to ask Master Feng."
"Looking for my dad? What can happen to you?" Feng Wan'er looked at Lu Zhiyun with critical eyes.
Jiang Wanchen said from the side: "I brought Miss Lu here. If Miss Feng doesn't welcome you, you can send someone to drive us out."
No matter how willful Feng Wan'er was, she would not dare to drive away the son of the Minister of War.
She curled her lips and turned to leave.
Lu Zhiyun said to Jiang Wanchen: "Thank you. Although I am not afraid of her, I don't want to waste time dealing with her."
"I brought you here, and if she's rude to you, that's a slap in my face. Of course I have to protect you, not to mention you are my savior."
"It wasn't me who saved you, it was my mother..."
"You are all my saviors." Jiang Wanchen said, "So if you need my help for anything, don't be polite to me, just call me."
Master Feng was discussing matters in the study. Hearing that Mr. Jiang was here, he was a little surprised about his purpose. After all, there has been no contact between the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of War recently. Even if there had been, it would not be Jiang Wanchen's turn to come forward.
"I'll go to the inner room. You can meet the guests first!" Xie Chengjin stood up.
"good."
The servant took Jiang Wanchen and Lu Zhiyun into the study.
Master Feng was a little hesitant after hearing the two people's intentions.
Lu Zhiyun directly opened the lid of the wine and let the aroma of the wine come out.
"Good wine!" Master Feng said, "Where does this wine come from?"
"This is the wine made by my mother. So far, only a few uncles have tasted the wine made by my mother. My father is usually so precious that he is reluctant to take it out even if distinguished guests come to visit."
"That red fox fur..."
"Dad, isn't that red fox fur going to make clothes for me?" Feng Wan'er opened the door and came in.
"Wan'er, why are you here?" Lord Feng asked.
"I have been outside and heard that you wanted to give away the red fox fur, so I came forward to ask you for an explanation. I have been staring at the red fox fur for a long time. If you don't make clothes for your daughter, if you give it to someone else today, I will
Talk to my mother. If my mother finds out, she will definitely be very angry."
"This..." Lord Feng was in a dilemma.
Lu Zhiyun saw Feng Wan'er's provocation and said calmly: "Forget it. Mr. Jiang, let's not disturb Mr. Feng."
"This girl is a little willful and has been spoiled by me." Master Feng said, "If there is a red fox fur next time, I will give it directly to this Miss Lu."
"Thank you, Master Feng." Lu Zhiyun smiled lightly at him. "Then we will say goodbye."
Master Feng watched Lu Zhiyun's girl take away the two jars of wine.
At that moment, his eyes were full of annoyance.
This little girl from the Lu family was so indifferent that she would not take away the things that were delivered to her door. At this time, if there was a smart person, she would not take the wine away, but would directly use it as a favor.
Feng Wan'er snorted coldly and stuck out her tongue at Lu Zhiyun.
After Lu Zhiyun went out, Xie Chengjin walked out of the room.
Feng Wan'er's expression froze.
"Master Feng," Xie Chengjin said calmly, "It just so happens that my prince is also very interested in red foxes recently."
"Ah..." Mr. Feng was surprised, "The prince also likes it? Then I will have my servants bring it to the prince immediately."
"Isn't this not good? Your wife still wants to keep it to make clothes."
"She is a little girl. Her wardrobe is full of new clothes. If she doesn't make one less, she won't lose a piece of meat. Don't pay attention to her, she is just spoiled by her mother."
Xie Chengjin looked at Feng Wan'er with indifference in his eyes: "Master Feng needs to be disciplined, otherwise he will always go out without thinking. Who knows what kind of trouble he will get into one day."
"The prince has taught you a lesson."
"Dad..." Feng Wan'er was furious, "You promised to give it to me..."
Master Feng glared at her sharply: "Shut up! Do you have nothing to wear?"
After Xie Chengjin left, Feng Wan'er was so angry that she cried loudly and said to Master Feng: "Dad, why did you give him the things? He is just the prince of Wu'an!"
"What do you know? He is not some little heir apparent." Lord Feng said, "If you offend him, you will die without even knowing it. Do you lack this piece of clothing? For this piece of clothing, you will risk your life."
No more?"
Feng Wan'er shut up.
She didn't know what was so scary about Xie Chengjin, but her father dared to say such scary words. She was afraid that Xie Chengjin was really a god of plague and could not be offended.
After Lu Zhiyun and Jiang Wanchen left Feng Mansion, Lu Zhiyun proposed to separate. After all, they were not on the same road. She was the one who dragged Jiang Wanchen over to help just now, and it was not good to take up each other's time now.
Just as Jiang Wanchen was about to say something, a carriage stopped in front of them.
No one in the carriage came out.
However, the driver handed the cloth bag he was holding to Lu Zhiyun.
Lu Zhiyun felt strange, opened it and took a look, and found that it was red fox fur.
She looked in the direction of the carriage in surprise, but the carriage was already far away. The person in the carriage opened the curtains and glanced in her direction, and she could see clearly who was inside.
Xie Chengjin.
How did he know she needed this?
Was he in there just now?
"Red fox fur?" Jiang Wanchen saw a mass of red and guessed.
"Yes." Lu Zhiyun said, "Thank you Mr. Jiang, now my problem is solved."
"That's good." Jiang Wanchen said, "Look at the carriage just now, it looks like it belongs to the Marquis Wu'an Mansion. I don't know who is inside, but he is so eager to help you."
Lu Zhiyun smiled: "I didn't see anyone inside either."
"Then..." Jiang Wanchen had no reason to delay Lu Zhiyun's time any longer. "I'll take you back. Where are you going?"
"You came here on horseback just now." Lu Zhiyun reminded him, "You probably can't see me off."
Jiang Wanchen did not send Lu Zhiyun away in the end, after all, he did not have the opportunity.
Ding Xiang found a carriage and sent Lu Zhiyun back to Si Bao Pavilion. Before returning to Si Bao Pavilion, Lu Zhiyun asked Ding Xiang to send two jars of wine directly to the Wu'an Hou Mansion and asked the servant to hand it over to the prince.
Marquis Wu'an was combing his wife's makeup, combing her hair and drawing her eyebrows. The couple were so affectionate that all the servants couldn't even look at them.
Although the old servants were used to such scenes, they still felt that they couldn't stand it every time they saw it. They wanted to bury their heads in the cracks of the ground to avoid being stimulated from beginning to end by this couple.
"Who do you think gave it to me?" Mrs. Wu Anhou turned around, "Hiss..."
When I turned around, my scalp hurt.
Marquis Wu An said distressedly: "Madam, please slow down, why are you in such a hurry? Does it hurt? I'll give you a blowjob, husband."
Normally, Mrs. Wu Anhou would have taken the opportunity to act coquettishly with Mr. Wu An, and the two of them would have been bored for a long time. But today, Mrs. Wu Anhou directly pushed away Wu Anhou's handsome face and asked the housekeeper who came to report: "Say it again.
"
"The girl from the Lu family sent it to me. This old slave recognizes her and is absolutely right. No one can forget the good looks of the Lu family girl once," the housekeeper said.
"She named that boy Cheng Jin?"
"It's for the prince."
"Where is the Crown Prince now?" Madam Wu'anhou asked.
"Your Majesty went out early today and has not come back."
Marquis Wu An finally had time to intervene and asked: "Do you like that little girl from the Lu family so much?"
"That little girl has a good eye!" Mrs. Wu Anhou said, "Don't you know who I am? I like her as long as she has a good eye."
"Isn't it because she looks good?"
"What's wrong with liking good-looking people? If I were ugly, would you marry me?" Mrs. Wu'anhou pinched the soft flesh of Wu'anhou's waist.
"Hiss... Madam is absolutely right."
"Why did the little girl from the Lu family suddenly give wine to that boy? Did that boy do something else? It seems that we don't have to worry about him now. When have you ever seen him treat a girl with such care? It's just that the little girl is young.
He's too young, so he still has to wait a few years. But don't rush, since the boy is very playful and hasn't given up yet, so it would be good to wait a few more years."
"You are excited here alone. Have you ever thought about whether the Lu family can like that kid?"
"Although that boy is a bit unruly, he is still ranked high among the younger generation in the capital, right? I don't believe that the Lu family looks down on him."
When Xie Chengjin came back, he saw two jars of wine in the room and stopped taking off his clothes.
He opened the lid of the wine and smelled it.
It's that smell.
"Someone is coming..."
"Your Majesty."
"Who sent this?"
"When I came back to the prince, the housekeeper sent someone to deliver it. She said that a girl left wine today and named it for the prince."
"Okay, step back!"
Xie Chengjin changed his clothes as if nothing happened. Not long after, the small kitchen where the stove fire had just been put out was lit again. The reason was that their prince suddenly wanted to drink and ordered two side dishes to be prepared.
Lu Zhiyun got the red fox fur and worked on it overnight.
It was getting late, Ding Xiang urged her several times, and Lu Zhiyun couldn't hold on anymore. She washed her face and got ready to go to bed, but she saw a figure at the window.
She was just about to call someone, but she heard the person say: "Miss Lu, don't be afraid, the younger one is from the Marquis Wu'an Mansion."
Lu Zhiyun: "..."
What does the Marquis of Wu'an want to do?
It is extremely rude to break into a girl's boudoir in the middle of the night.
"That's it." The man said helplessly, "Our prince drank the wine given by the girl and thought it was really good. Does the girl still have it?"
Lu Zhiyun pressed her temples and said through the window: "There are only two jars of wine left at home, there is nothing extra."
"That's a pity." The servant continued, "The prince said that it doesn't matter if he doesn't have it for the time being. He will order two jars first. Of course, he didn't ask for it in vain. This is a reward..."
Phew! A package was thrown in through the window.
"Girl, I'm offended. Please leave."
Lu Zhiyun waited for a while to make sure no one was talking, and then picked up the package on the ground.
When I opened it, I saw that it was full of fur.
"This is so beautiful." Lu Zhiyun touched the fine fur.
Although there is no red fox fur, other furs are more beautiful than red fox fur.
"This man is still an alcoholic!"
For the sake of drinking, even such good things were given away. If it were her, she would definitely not be able to part with them. These things are much more expensive than two jars of wine. No matter how good the wine is, it is not worth doing.
Lu Zhiyun put the things away.
Anyway, I didn’t get it for free, I got it in exchange for wine, so there’s nothing I can’t accept.
Not long after the servant climbed out from the roof, the news reached Lu Yi's ears.
Lu Yi was reading the case book in the study. After hearing the report from his subordinates, he said, "Is he from the Marquis Wu'an Mansion?"
"It is indeed from Wu'an Hou's Mansion." The secret guard said, "My subordinates kept watching, but the man did not enter the house. He only said a few words outside and gave the lady a cloth bag. My subordinates took the liberty of sneaking through the crack of the door.
I quietly took a look at it and determined that it was a few pieces of animal skin, so I didn't alert the lady."
"Well done." Lu Yi said, "No matter who comes to see Miss, you must keep an eye on them."
"yes."
"Miss, have you lost your fur recently?"
"Today, Miss went to look for the red fox fur. After searching for a long time, she also met the Jiang family's young master, who took him to the Feng family. The piece of red fox fur belonged to the Feng family, but Master Feng did not give it to the Miss.
Prince Xie came forward to bring the things out and then gave them directly to the lady."
The secret guard reported everything that happened today to Lu Yi.
Ever since he learned that several families were interested in his daughter, Lu Yi tried to appease Mu Siyu on the surface, but secretly kept a close eye on her.
No matter what those families mean, in his opinion, her precious daughter will only marry the person she likes. If those families have any agenda, then don't blame him for being rude.
Lu Zhiyun is now focused on embroidery. He is young and has no other thoughts at all. This is one of the reasons why he feels relieved.
After Lu Yi finished writing the last word, he called Lu Zhiqian in and asked him to hand over the case book in his hand to the people below for execution.
He has now established an intelligence network, but it is not complete yet and requires him to spend a lot of time and money to do it well.
