The famous book tour starting from the Red House

Chapter 86

After a few people lamented the extravagance of those salt merchants, Mu Xu asked, "How long will it take before the inspection is complete?"

Jia Lian replied, "It will take at least three days. If we want to estimate the value of these properties clearly, I'm afraid it will take a few more days."

Mu Xu nodded, "Well, I understand. You pass down the order to make the hands and feet of the people below clean." After thinking about it, punishment alone is not enough, and then added, "Another order, all the brothers who participated in the ransacking this time , each rewards fifty taels of silver."

Jia Lian finished his work, "Does that include those soldiers from the Jinling Garrison?"

"Naturally." Mu Xu affirmed, "My lord, what do you think?"

Wang An also nodded, "What the prince said is that if you want a horse to run fast, you have to graze it. Our family understands that." Inviting to buy the morale of the army, he promised, "Don't worry, my son, I will co-sign the memorial to your majesty."

Liu Hong was not stupid, he understood that this was an opportunity to sell to Mu Xu, and said righteously, "Our family is also willing to sign. If anyone dares to use this to make trouble, our family will be the first to be a witness for the eldest son."

Mu Xu naturally put on a grateful look, cupped his fists and saluted, "The two father-in-laws are really righteous." Under Jia Lian's speechless eyes, the three of them once again flattered each other unscrupulously.

After bragging with the two of them, Mu Xu ignored Jia Lian's strange expression and told him, "Have someone calculate those cash points first, and report to me at night. Then send someone to those restaurants in Yangzhou to invite some big Master is back, all the brothers have enough wine and meat tonight, remember to keep the patrol manpower, if something goes wrong, you are the only one to ask."

"Yes, the humble job must be properly arranged."

"Yeah." Mu Xu said to Wang An and Wang An again, "I arranged a celebration banquet tonight at You hour, the two father-in-laws don't forget."

Both of them naturally said that they must attend on time.Mu Xu had greeted several people, and was about to go back to the backyard to rest for a while, when he suddenly remembered that Liu Hong was about to take over the Yanzheng, so he turned around and reminded Jia Lian, "Send someone to invite Mrs. Lin, by the way, Huang Yishan as well." call."

Jia Lian replied, "Yes, my lord, I'll send someone to invite you right away."

When Mu Xu returned to the backyard, he saw Yinglian's mother and daughter talking, and greeted them. Seeing that Zhen Feng's complexion was obviously much better, and he didn't have the sad look before, he couldn't help laughing. , "Yinglian, remember to give a reward when you look back, the doctor who treated your mother, it seems that he has good medical skills."

Yinglian smiled and nodded in response, and Zhen Fengshi also stepped forward to thank Mu Xu.Mu Xu waved his hand, "Okay, you mother and daughter talk, I'll go to rest for a while."

Yinglian hurriedly asked, "My lord, do you want me to serve you?"

Mu Xu shook his head, "No, you can talk to your mother. I have to attend a banquet tonight, so I'll just lie down for a while." After speaking, he went into the back room and lay down on the bed to rest without taking off his clothes.Mu Xu has been busy for the past few days, and his spirit is very tense. Now that he relaxes, he immediately feels sleepy and falls asleep without knowing it.

After a while, Yinglian came in with a bowl of ginseng tea, and was about to speak, but found that Mu Xu was already snoring slightly.She hurriedly lowered her steps and put the ginseng tea on the table.Then she tiptoed to the bed, picked up a quilt, and gently covered Mu Xu.After doing all this, she was relieved to find that Mu Xu hadn't been woken up.I didn't know what to do for a while, so I just sat by the bed and looked at Mu Xu quietly.

After an unknown amount of time, Mu Xu gently opened his eyes. He turned his head to the window, wanting to see the sky, but found Yinglian sitting quietly by the bed, dozing off little by little on her forehead. Mu Xu couldn't help but feel a little funny.He wanted to wake her up, but he was afraid of scaring the girl, so he didn't make a sound, gently picked up the quilt on his body, got up and got out of bed.

Unexpectedly, Yinglian was awakened by the sound. She rubbed her eyes and realized that Mu Xu had already woken up. She hurriedly stood up, "My lord, you are awake." Then she remembered that she had just fallen asleep, and felt embarrassed again. Said, "I see that the son fell asleep, so he just stayed here, and didn't want to get sleepy after a long time."

Seeing her flustered look, Mu Xu laughed and said, "Okay, I'm not a child, why do I need someone to watch over me when I sleep?" As he spoke, he came to the window, opened it, and found that the sun had already set, he couldn't help asking , "What time is it?"

Yinglian didn't know, so she quickly replied, "I'll ask." She ran out like a gust of wind.Mu Xu originally wanted to call her back, seeing that she had already gone out, so he had no choice but to give up.

After a while, Yinglian came in with a copper basin filled with water. As soon as she entered the room, she replied, "My lord, it will be Youshi in a moment."

When Mu Xu heard that the time hadn't come yet, she immediately felt relieved. Under Yinglian's service, she washed up, changed into clean clothes, and got up to go to the banquet.Thinking of Yinglian's appearance just now, I told her, "I see you are also tired these days, after a while, go to rest after dinner."

"Then how can it be done, the prince must have a drink at night, how can he leave people around?" Yinglian hurriedly replied.

Mu Xu shook his head and said, "You have been with me for so long, when did you ever see me get drunk?" This is not his bragging, with his physical fitness far surpassing ordinary people, how can ordinary people get him drunk.

Yinglian thought about it carefully, and it seemed to be true, so she agreed, "Then I will leave a girl to guard the gate."

Mu Xu nodded and went directly to the side hall.When he arrived, he found that everyone had arrived.Even Lin Ruhai arrived, talking to Jia Lian and Wang An.Mu Xu hurriedly saluted everyone, "I'm really sorry, I took a nap and almost missed the hour."

Naturally, the crowd dared not talk, and after a short exchange of pleasantries, Mu Xu invited them to the table.Seeing this, Fan Zi, the gatekeeper at the gate, hurriedly ordered the servants in the courtyard, and then the food and drinks were brought in.

Mu Xu looked at the people on the table, Lin Ruhai was on his right, Wang An was on his left, there were Liu Hong, Feng Han, Jia Lian, Liu Xianglian, Han Qi, Huang Yishan on the table, exactly nine people.

Seeing that everyone was here, Mu Xu immediately got up and toasted, and everyone naturally got up together when they saw it.

Mu Xu held the wine glass and gestured to everyone, "I would like to take this banquet today, thank you for your help and cooperation these days, so that I can successfully complete this emperor's mission, and I will do it first as a respect." Cup, drank the wine in one gulp, and motioned for everyone to see.

Everyone also said, "Do it." After seeing that everyone had drunk, Mu Xu motioned for everyone to sit down, "Everyone is their own, so just do whatever you want."

Hearing what he said, everyone naturally got up casually, pushing and changing glasses for a while, and gradually became lively.

Only now did Mu Xu have time to greet Lin Ruhai, "Uncle Lin, how is your injury now?"

Lin Ruhai replied with a smile, "It's not a serious problem, my nephew, don't worry." Thinking of being able to get out of the quagmire of Yandao soon, and returning to Beijing to see his beloved daughter soon, he is naturally in a good mood now.The only thing I regret is that my beloved wife and son are already separated from me, so I can't help but feel a little embarrassed.

"That's good." Mu Xu nodded and poured a glass of wine for him and himself again, "When uncle finishes handing over the salt affairs in his hand, he can return to Beijing. My nephew is here to wish uncle a bright future."

Lin Ruhai clinked a glass with him, "I have nothing else to ask for now, I only wish for the rest of my life to be ordinary."

Before Mu Xu could speak, Wang An on the side said, "Where is Master Lin? With the achievements of Master Lin in the salt administration over the years, it won't be long before our family should call you Lin Butang." Among all the people present, apart from Jia Lian, Liu Xianglian and Huang Yishan, only Wang An knew the relationship between Lin Ruhai and Mu Xu, so he was naturally polite to Lin Ruhai.

Lin Ruhai is also an old man in the officialdom, so he naturally understood the reason why the sedan chair was carried by everyone, so he was polite immediately, and flattered Wang An without any trace, making Wang An very happy too.

Except for the three people who knew the inside story, the rest of the people who saw this scene were all a little unclear. Therefore, I don’t know why Mu Xu treats Lin Ruhai like an uncle, and Lin Ruhai also treats Lin Ruhai like a virtuous nephew, but now even the emperor Wang An The celebrities around him were also so polite to him.
