After my voice was eavesdropped, I became the favorite of the imperial court
Chapter 72 A little waste of money
After the oiran banquet was over, Mu Nanjin made a lot of money.
She divided half of the money earned by the oiran, and then quietly placed the banknote on the dragon table in the imperial study room.
After the emperor went down to court, he saw the banknotes on the table and the corners of his mouth turned up unconsciously.
The money in the brothel is really good.
In just a short time, Mu Nanjin had earned him 180,000 taels.
After a year, a few million taels is really not a problem.
"Ha ha."
The emperor laughed heartily and waved his hand: "Quickly tell the armorer Tisi to enter the palace to meet the saint."
"yes."
The chief eunuch exited the room and ordered the young eunuch to summon him.
About half an hour later, armorer Tisi rushed to the imperial study room panting, and knelt down in front of the emperor: "I have seen the emperor."
"Pingsheng." The emperor asked the armorsmith Tisi: "How much silver does it cost to make a set of soldier's armor?"
Armorer Tisi stood up and asked cautiously: "When I return to the emperor, which soldiers' armors do you want to ask about?"
"The cotton armor worn by Northern Rein soldiers in winter."
"It will take about ten taels of silver. The details will depend on whether prices have risen this year."
The emperor narrowed his eyes suddenly: "Didn't you lie about the price?"
With a plop, the armorer Tisi hurriedly knelt down on the ground: "What I said is absolutely true. I dare not lie to the emperor."
"I believe your words for the time being." The emperor handed him the 180,000 taels of silver notes: "The 180,000 taels of silver notes here are used to make cotton armors. How many sets of cotton armors can be made is up to you."
Armorer Tisi took the banknote.
The emperor looked at the sky outside the window and called out: "Commander Hua."
Commander Hua quickly walked in from outside: "I'm here."
"It's almost noon. You take Tisi to the canteen of the Captain's Mansion for a meal and then send him back."
"yes."
Leader Hua, who had been with the emperor for many years, instantly understood what the emperor meant. He turned to armorer Tisi and said, "Please Tisi, come with me."
"I excuse myself."
Armorer Tisi was very uneasy.
In the past, no one was sent to the Duwei Mansion for food when leaving the palace. Why is today an exception?
Is it possible to send a few Jin Yiwei to monitor them?
The more he thought about it, the more likely it was.
If that were the case, he wouldn't have to be afraid if he was walking and sitting upright.
As noon approached, the Duwei Mansion was very lively, and the Jin Yiwei who had gone out to do business returned to the mansion one after another.
Armorer Tisi followed Commander Hua to the courtyard of the Duwei Mansion, and a woman's voice kept reaching his ears.
[Today the governor looked unhappy when he saw the underwear hanging in the yard. Could it be that I didn’t wash it clean enough? 】
[It shouldn’t be. I’m so skilled and even bleached it. I dare say there is absolutely no one who can wash it better than me. 】
[Well, he must be dissatisfied with me hanging it in the yard. Yes, there are people coming and going in the yard, so it really doesn’t look good hanging there. 】
[I will dry it on the roof tomorrow, where it can be better exposed to the sun. 】
"..."
Leader Hua somewhat sympathized with the Jin Yiwei.
It's really not easy for them.
To be honest, he really wanted to see what the scenery would look like when the pants were hung on the roof tomorrow.
Armorer Tisi glanced around and said to Commander Hua, "There are also girls in the Duwei's mansion?"
"Has Tisi forgotten that the emperor once appointed a girl as a ninth-grade royal guard?"
"Oh, yes, yes."
Armorer Tisi remembered this incident.
He still remembered that any official in Beijing with an official seal could hear Mu Nanjin's voice.
I didn't think of it before because I didn't have any contact with Mu Nanjin, so I put this matter behind me.
"The cafeteria is here."
Leader Hua Tong walked into the cafeteria with the armorer Tisi.
He was not in a hurry to get food, but glanced at everyone in the cafeteria, and finally his eyes fell on Mu Nanjin who was sitting next to the window.
"Tisi, please come with me."
He brought armorer Tisi to Mu Nanjin's table and asked, "Warrior Mu, do you mind if we sit here?"
Mu Nanjin, who was thinking wildly, looked up and saw the commander beside the emperor, and nodded: "You guys sit down."
[Why did the commander of the imperial guards come to the Duwei Mansion to have a meal? 】
[Is your family too poor to open the pot? 】
[Who are the officials next to him? He's very unfamiliar, I've never seen him before. 】
[Why is he looking at me so surprised? Don’t you know there is a female official in Jinyiwei? 】
The Armorer, who was originally shocked to hear her voice, quickly recovered and smiled at Mu Nanjin: "This is the first time I've seen a female officer."
Mu Nanjin said: "There will be more and more female officials in the future."
The armorer's advisor nodded: "That's right. When the emperor opens up female officials, there will only be more female officials."
Commander Hua introduced to Mu Nanjin: "Warrior Mu, this is the advisor of the Armory Bureau. He is of the fifth rank. It is reasonable for you to call him sir."
"Oh." Mu Nanjin responded perfunctorily.
"You guys chat, I'm going to get some food." Leader Hua left the armorer and his master behind and turned to leave.
The armor-carving master smiled at Mu Nanjin.
[Jiajiang Bureau? I remember it was a department responsible for making armor for soldiers. 】
[Some of the officials in this department are really worthless. The armor that could have been made for seven taels was actually recorded as ten taels in the account, which cost them three taels of silver. 】
[What's even more outrageous is that he is greedy for money and cuts down on the materials of the armor. In the event of a war, the enemy will easily cut through the armor of the border soldiers. 】
[Fortunately, there have been no wars in recent years, otherwise the armor created by the Armorer Bureau would definitely defeat the army of Daqian. 】
[When the country is gone, what's the use of having more money? 】
The armor craftsman's face suddenly turned pale, and cold sweat broke out all over his body.
At this moment, he finally understood the real reason why the emperor ordered Hua Tong to bring him here for dinner.
[Speaking of which, Ti Shi is quite pitiful. Apart from him, the other officials of the Armory Bureau are all descendants of major aristocratic families. They have big trees behind them to enjoy the shade. When something happens, they rely on their families to help Ti Shi. pressure. It is difficult to be a counselor, and if you don't do what they say, you will be ostracized and framed. Within half a year, you won't even be able to be a counselor. 】
Mu Nanjin saw that the armorer was sweating profusely and kindly handed over a white handkerchief: "It's unused."
"Oh, thank you."
The armor craftsman was stunned for a moment, then took the handwoven fabric and wiped his forehead.
At this time, Commander Hua came back with the meal: "Tisi, this is your meal."
"Okay, thank you."
The armor-carrying master didn't have the appetite to eat, so he took a few bites and made an excuse to leave.
Commander Hua did not see him off, but sat in his seat and ate his own meal.
From time to time, he would glance at Mu Nanjin.
Mu Nanjin once again wandered into space.
[General Hua is good at everything, but he likes to fart, which is very smelly. 】
[In order to prevent him from giving me extra food, I’d better finish my meal and leave as soon as possible. 】
Commander Hua: "..."
Girl, I just changed my mind about you, and now you say such hurtful things again, do you still want to be friendly with me?
[Should I tell him that frequent stinky farts are not necessarily a good thing? Maybe there is something wrong with his gastrointestinal tract, and it would be better to see a doctor. But how should I speak? 】
"I'm stuffed."
Commander Hua remembered that he had been feeling uncomfortable in his abdomen recently, so he quickly put down his chopsticks and got up to go see the imperial doctor.
"Eh?"
[Why did you only take two bites and then leave? 】
[You are wasting food like this. The most important thing is that I haven’t had time to remind him to see the imperial doctor. 】
[Well, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future. 】
Mu Nanjin took the last bite of rice and then delivered food to the prisoners in the dungeon.
After getting off duty, she went directly back to Mu Mansion.
Seeing that the door of Hei Tan's room was still closed, Mu Nanjin stepped forward and patted the door: "Hei Tan."
No one in the room made a sound.
"I know you're inside, open the door quickly."
"snort."
Heitan snorted angrily.
Mu Nanjin added: "I have a gift for you."
"A gift?" Hei Tan pricked up his ears: "What gift?"
"You open the door first."
Heitan slowly opened the door: "You better really have a gift..."
Mu Nanjin opened his palm, and there were more than twenty earrings inside, each with a horse pattern.
Heitan picked it up and looked at it curiously: "What is this?"
"Earrings?"
Heitan saw the horse pattern embedded in the earrings, and finally a smile appeared on his face.
"Well, let me put it on for you."
Mu Nanjin raised her hand and shot towards his ear.
More than twenty earrings were driven into Heitan's ears, arranged neatly around his ears from large to small, as if they were lined with gold.
Heitan went back to the room, picked up the bronze mirror and looked at both ears: "It looks good."
A smile flashed in Mu Nanjin's eyes: "As long as you like it."
Heitan looked at himself in the mirror again and again, and when he saw it almost, he pouted: "You don't think that dozens of earrings are an apology to me, do you?"
Mu Nanjin took out a handful of golden silk thread as thin as hair.
Heitan was confused: "What is this?"
Mu Nanjin explained: "This is the silk thread used to add hair to your ponytail."
Heitan snorted unhappily: "Are you dissatisfied that my ponytail has too little hair?"
"Of course not. I am decorating your ponytail. You transform back into the form of a horse and I attach silk threads to your ponytail. Then you will understand how beautiful it is."
Heitan quickly transformed back into the form of a horse, and the golden suit given to him by the emperor also appeared, and the earrings were firmly embedded in his horse ears.
Mu Nanjin took the silk threads and connected them to his ponytail one by one.
After waiting for the reception, Heitan flicked his tail. Under the bright light, it was like countless streams of light flashed through his ponytail. The golden light shone and was very beautiful.
He jumped up excitedly: "It's so beautiful, I like it very much, Mu Nanjin, thank you."
Mu Nanjin asked: "Aren't you angry anymore?"
Black Tan nodded.
"Forgive me?"
Black Tan nodded again.
Mu Nanjin smiled inwardly.
This dark horse is still easy to coax.
There is just one thing - Fei Jinzi.
Heitan excitedly ran out of the room, left Mu Mansion, and ran to the street to show off.
It wasn't until early in the morning that Yin came back and dug up Mu Nanjin.
Mu Nanjin, who was in a daze, looked at the black horse's head in front of him and asked lazily: "What are you doing?"
Heitan said: "We will go to court."
"Go to court?"
Mu Nanjin thought he heard wrongly.
Heitan said excitedly: "Yes, I will send you to court."
"I don't have to go to court to protect the emperor today."
Mu Nanjin covered herself with the quilt.
Heitan bit open her quilt again: "No, you have to go to court."
Mu Nanjin ignored him.
Heitan turned around and went out, bit Zhenzhu over, asked Zhenzhu to dress and dress Mu Nanjin, and then carried Mu Nanjin into the palace.
Mu Nanjin, who was lying on its back, was very tired. She finally managed to sleep a little later and woke her up early in the morning.
"Why do you want me to go to court?"
Heitan didn't answer, but hummed a tune that Mu Nanjin didn't understand.
Mu Nanjin fell asleep again while listening.
The guards at the palace gate recognize Hei Tan, and Hei Tan is a first-class horse king personally conferred by the emperor. He can travel unimpeded in the palace just by relying on his horse attire, and can enter and exit the palace without a pass token.
It's just that today's first-grade horse king is more dazzling than usual. In the past, I could look directly at its butt, but now my butt can't be seen, and its ears are shining golden in the firelight.
One commander couldn't help but said: "Wooden Guard, your horse...has become beautiful again."
I wanted to say it was too harsh, but I thought it was too hurtful, so I had to change my words and hope the other party could understand.
Heitan raised his horse's head happily.
At this time, a voice woke up Mu Nanjin.
"Warrior Mu, is it your turn to be on duty in the palace today again?"
Mu Nanjin lazily pointed at Heitan: "The first-grade horse king asked me to go on duty, and I, a ninth-grade bodyguard, dare not disobey."
General Zhengxi was stunned and laughed loudly: "Wooden Guard, you are so interesting."
Mu Nanjin looked up at him and found that there was another person wearing a general's armor next to him. The person looked like a woman, with a delicate and dignified appearance and slender eyebrows. She sat up straight and took a closer look, and found that the person was actually a woman. , is a heroic woman.
General Zhengxi noticed her gaze and introduced her with a smile: "This is my wife, whose surname is Sha and whose name is Ping Ai. Now she is my deputy general."
[Wow wow wow, she is the heroine who went deep into the enemy's army many times to rescue the lieutenants. 】
[Wow, he is really heroic, heroic and so handsome that General Zhengxi was compared to the sky. 】
General Zhengxi laughed happily when he heard her praising his wife.
Sha Pingai couldn't help laughing. She already knew Mu Nanjin's identity and pretended to ask: "General, this little girl is..."
General Zhengxi introduced to her: "She is the only female official in the dynasty... Oh, no, we can't say she is the only female official in the dynasty. It should be said that she is the first female official in the dynasty."
[Wow, wow, wow, the emperor has appointed the general’s wife as deputy general. She is officially promoted to the third rank, which is higher than my official position. The emperor is an enlightened emperor. Everyone should feel lucky to have such a wise emperor. 】
Sha Ping said with a smile: "I have heard about Miss Mu's name and the fact that she saved the emperor. I admire her so much. I also want to get to know her. I wonder if she can come to my house and have a drink with us after her shift."
She heard the general say that it was Mu Nanjin's credit for her becoming the deputy general.
"I……"
Just as Mu Nanjin was about to agree, someone hurriedly refused on her behalf: "No."
Everyone followed the sound and saw Liang Baihu running over in a hurry: "No, she doesn't have time to have a drink with you."
If drunkenness happens again in Xiaoqinglou, everyone will suffer.
General Zhengxi was confused: "Why?"
Liang Baihu turned his back to Mu Nanjin and winked at them as he spoke: "Mun Nanjin has other things to do after his shift, so I can't drink with you."
General Zhengxi: "..."
Sha Pingai saw that Liang Baihu was hiding something and nodded: "Then let's do it next time."
"Xu..."
Suddenly, Hei Tan got impatient after listening to their chat, and flew away with Mu Nanjin on his back.
Liang Baihu breathed a sigh of relief, and then explained to General Zhengxi and the others: "When Mu Nanjin is drunk, he likes to expose other people's secrets, and all the officials in the capital can hear it."
General Zhengxi: "..."
Sha Pingai: "..." (End of this chapter)
