Fate with you

Cooking tea is a kind of art.From choosing your own tea, to choosing water, to choosing tea sets, every step is the key to making a good pot of tea.

Wan Niang faced Mu Sheng and Cui Yunji, her movements were as elegant and pleasing to the eye as flowing clouds and flowing water.When the clear spring boils for the first time, pour the boiling water into porcelain pots and cups, and the cups and pots heat up.Then put the tea into the pot, take the hanging pot and pour it high.

The scalding boiling water was poured into the pot without splashing a bit, and the white smoke rising up like fairy mist made Wanniang's face beautiful like a veil.

Beauty, when it comes, is always pleasing to the eye.

Divide the clear tea soup into the cups, and the tea fragrance in the room will overflow for a while, making you feel refreshed and happy.

The porcelain cup, as clear as jade, was presented to Mu Sheng and Cui Yunji.Cui Yunji was fascinated by watching, picked up the cup, took a sip, and said slowly: "I didn't know you are also proficient in tea ceremony."

Wan Niang had already sat down, she also brought tea in her hand, upon hearing this, she smiled lightly and said, "I used to be a prostitute, because of my outstanding appearance, the madam thought it was a rare thing to live in, so she put a lot of effort into teaching me, that's when I learned the tea ceremony."

She didn't hide her unbearable past, and she didn't feel ashamed when she said it.It was only then that Cui Yunji realized that compared to two years ago, Wanniang seemed to have seen through something, and her whole person became indifferent and detached, as if all the sufferings in the past were just the tempering of life.It's fine if you just see it clearly, but it's not good if you see through the world of mortals. After all, she is still young and has a long way to go in life.

Cui Yunji looked at Wanniang, and said in her heart, she was indeed neglecting her too much, since she has received favors from others and entrusted them to take care of her, she should treat her better.

After drinking a cup of tea, Mu Sheng put down the teacup and talked about the business: "I feel really sorry for disturbing the girl, but this is an important matter, maybe only the girl knows, so I have to disturb the girl's quietness."

Wan Niang smiled gently: "It's okay, if you ask me, Wan Niang will know everything."

Her smile is soft and her voice is elegant and pleasant, making people more trustworthy.

Mu Sheng asked, "After Lin Tan died, did you leave anything for you?"

Wan Niang was taken aback, then said honestly: "Yes."

"Can I take a look?" Mu Sheng asked hurriedly.

Wan Niang agreed without any hesitation. She stood up and walked into the inner room, where she slept. Cui Yunji kept her eyes on her, and she turned her head when she knew that her light pink skirt had disappeared by the door. Lai and Mu Sheng said: "If it's really here with Wan Niang, I'd have to admire Lin Tan's courage."

At that time, Wanniang was in the Min Mansion, and the things he gave to Wanniang had to go through the hands of Min Shijie, so that he could pass things in a grand manner under the eyes of Min Shijie's old fox, and his mind was very comparable to others.

Mu Sheng smiled and said, "I'm not sure, but Min Shijie personally handed over the suicide note to you?" It can be seen that Lin Tan understands Min Shijie and her grasp of people's hearts.

Cui Yunji couldn't tell what was wrong, but she suddenly became a little unconvinced, and said rather unpleasantly: "It's okay but not anymore!"

Mu Sheng ignored her, she still felt that Lin Tan must have something left behind, and that thing must be with Wan Niang.

Not long after, Wan Niang came out with a box in her hands. The box was very simple and unremarkable on the surface, and it didn't even have a lock on it.In front of the two of them, Wan Niang opened the box, and a box full of bank notes was exposed to people's eyes.

Mu Sheng: "..." The Lin family is really rich!

Cui Yunji: "..." I didn't expect her family to raise a God of Wealth.

"Master Min handed this over to me after Master Lin passed away." Wan Niang smiled softly, her tone was very calm, as if she didn't know the value of this box of bank notes.

After Lin Tan died, a large amount of the Lin family's wealth disappeared. Cui Yunji and Mu Sheng searched through various channels for many days, but did not find a trace of clues. After two years, this large amount of disappearing wealth finally appeared. I just feel quite powerless. According to the law, Lin Tan's family wealth will be used to fill the national treasury. However, the large sum of money in front of me does not seem to be considered as the Lin family's property, and it has nothing to do with the Lin family.

Mu Sheng was still concerned about the business: "Can you lend me this box for a look."

Wan Niang pushed the box in front of the two of them, and said in a gentle voice, "Your Excellency, you can do it yourself."

The box was quite big, Mu Sheng poured out the banknotes, poured them all over the table, and then groped around the inner walls of the box.The inner wall is lined with red flannelette, which looks delicate and expensive.Mu Sheng touched inch by inch, not letting go of the slightest bit of suspicion, and finally, she found a small gap, hidden under the flannelette.

The two looked at each other, Cui Yunji took the scissors, and carefully cut the layer of flannel.Wan Niang watched, and hurriedly turned her face away, her clear and lingling eyes were full of sadness.Except for once opening this box in front of Master Min, she has never touched it again. No matter how many banknotes are in it, no matter what the wealth can bring her, in her eyes, it has killed Lin Lin. Lin Tan's things, because of them, because of her, caused Lin Tan to die a miserable death.

She hated her and couldn't help thinking about her.

After the flannelette was cut, it was a thin wooden board, which was easily disassembled. Behind the wooden board was a small booklet!

Mu Sheng took out the booklet, opened it, and his face suddenly changed. Seeing this, Cui Yunji leaned forward and glanced at it, and was extremely surprised.

This is an account book, and the names appearing in it all hold high positions in Beijing.

The people who were exposed in Lin Tan's last posthumous note were all local officials in the south of the Yangtze River, and they did not affect the capital. In this account book, all high-ranking officials in Beijing and China were implicated. Naturally, Min Shijie was also on the list.

"When this account book comes out, there will inevitably be waves." Cui Yunji sighed.Unexpectedly, Lin Tan really hid the account book.Placed in the interlayer of the box, there are several 10 taels of silver bills in the box, anyone will only focus on these silver bills, how can they notice this humble box? ,

Cui Yunji turned her head to look at Wanniang, only to see Wanniang staring at the account book in a daze.For some reason, feeling a little uncomfortable, Chao Musheng said: "This account book should be presented to His Majesty by Lord Shangqing."

Mu Sheng nodded: "Everything is up to His Majesty to decide."

The matter is so important that she cannot afford it, and the account books will definitely play the greatest role in His Majesty's hands.As for this large sum of money, Mu Sheng looked at Wan Niang.

She suddenly had a better understanding of Lin Tan's behavior. In this world, there are two things that are the crime of being pregnant. The second is beauty.Wanniang was born with a world-renowned appearance, no one to protect her, she will be lost in this world, and this large sum of money is not something that everyone can afford, an incompetent person has a huge amount of talent, like a three-year-old child pregnant with gold , will only lead to disaster.He wanted Wanniang to have a good life, so he wanted money with her, and he wanted Wanniang to live a safe life, so he wanted to protect her.Cui Yunji is the most suitable person in his opinion.

She is a woman with a soft heart and an upright temperament, and she will not be ungrateful for sex; she comes from a famous Cui family, and she will not be moved by money, so she will not be tempted by money.Wan Niang entrusted her to her, and it couldn't be more appropriate.

What Mu Sheng thought of, Cui Yunji also thought of. She turned to look at Wan Niang, who sat there quietly without saying a word.Cui Yunji noticed that she looked at Wanniang a lot today, and every time she looked at her, she had a different feeling, but this time, she felt very irritable. Wanniang's gentle and peaceful sitting posture did not affect the inexplicable irritability in her heart at all. Calming her down made her even more agitated.

People who are rarely seen on weekdays have such a huge influence on her, it seems that they should not be seen more in the future.Cui Yunji made a decision at once, and said to Mu Sheng: "It's not too late, Mr. Shangqing, let's enter the palace quickly!"

Mu Sheng also thought the same way, she stood up, and said to Wan Niang: "You should keep this money, if it is not in vain, Master Cui and I will not publicize it." Cui Yunji also nodded: "Don't worry .”

Wan Niang looked down at the pile of silver bills full of cases, a thick stack, worth a lot, can be exchanged for gourmet food and clothes, and Yi Liangtian Meishe, such a good thing that everyone likes is like a rock in her eyes , other than pressing on her heart and making her uncomfortable, it is of no use at all.

After Mu Sheng bid farewell to Cui Yunji, she went into the palace.Cui Yunji looked at the sky, it was still very early, after much deliberation, she went to the yamen again.

The weather was fine today, Mu Sheng stepped into the gate of the palace, Meng Xiuyi was holding the pipa and fiddled with it, seeing her coming, he put the pipa aside, stood up, and said: "You came back suddenly, what did you gain?"

This morning, Mu Sheng suddenly said that she hadn't been home for a long time, and she was going to take a look at her home, so she wouldn't be staying at the Xuanshi Hall tonight.Her house outside the palace had no relatives, let alone any concerns, so Meng Xiuyi suggested that she simply move in to live in the palace, so that she would not have to visit from time to time and cause trouble.Mu Sheng refused.His Majesty became angry.

But for now, it seems that the anger should have subsided.

"I went to see Cui Yunji." Mu Sheng said.

"Oh." Meng Xiuyi lacked interest.

"Then, I saw Wanniang again."

"Wanniang, I heard that she is very beautiful, please describe to me, how charming is this Wanniang?" Meng Xiuyi leaned on the soft pillow, smiling playfully.

Mu Sheng couldn't help but give her a sideways glance, and said angrily, "It's like a heavenly man, more beautiful than me now, and even more beautiful than I was before, your Majesty, do you want to see it with your own eyes?"

"Forget it, I can't bear it if you are alone, and if you have another one, I can't live with it?" Meng Xiuyi said lazily, beckoning to Musheng, and beckoned her to come closer.

Mu Sheng did not disobey her, walked to the couch, and was pulled into her arms by Meng Xiuyi as expected.Mu Sheng leaned against her obediently, and asked curiously, "How does Your Majesty know about Wan Niang?"

Meng Xiuyi picked up a strand of her black hair, and said casually: "With Jin Yiwei, there are a few things I don't know about the ministers?" But nothing was said.

Mu Sheng was silent, and took out the account book from her sleeve pocket to share with her. Meng Xiuyi looked at it, and was very interested. After flipping through it, he was a little excited: "It's just in time. I just feel that these few days, for a phase, the ministers Some are disobedient." She wanted to have absolute control over the court, so there was no room for disobedient officials.

"Come on, Lord Xuanhuai'an is here." Meng Xiuyi called out loudly.

At this moment, Lord Huai'an is sending Meng Youlin to a tea banquet, which was set up by a county lord, and all the people attending the banquet are members of the clan and royal family, who are close friends with Lord Huai'an.Such an occasion made Mr. Huai'an very relieved, not afraid that someone would embarrass Meng Youlin, so he took her there.

Sure enough, Meng Youlin became cheerful and made new friends, which made Meng Youshu very gratified.

At this time, the servants at home led the envoys from the palace to rush over, saying that His Majesty had a call.Meng Youshu looked at Meng Youlin who was chatting with others with great interest, ordered the servants to take care of the young lady, and followed the angel into the palace.
