Ten Miles of Red Makeup: The Legend of Ming Yu

Chapter 377
After leaving Changhui Courtyard, Concubine Ming went to Hengwu Courtyard. The princess was pruning flowers and branches in the garden.

The concubine cut off the extra branches, glanced at Ming concubine coming, smiled gently, and said, "Why are you here?"

Concubine Ming bowed respectfully and politely, and then said, "The one who came from Changhui Courtyard, the third aunt smashed the birthday gift for the queen mother in a fit of anger, and the auntie didn't have time, so the old lady took the birthday gift for the queen mother." Leave the matter to me and my husband, let Ming concubine come to find the mother and concubine to get the money."

Ming concubine's brows were as light as Chunshan's, and there was a little melancholy. The queen mother didn't like her and Chu Mochen, but she had to entrust her with the preparation of the birthday gift. It's really hard to see her.

Ming concubine really hoped that the princess would take the initiative to take over this matter, but who would have thought that the princess smiled and said, "Alright, you and Chen'er will prepare a birthday present."

Come on, she and Chu Mochen are unreliable in their work, can you not entrust them with such an important errand?

The concubine ordered the servant girl Qiu Ju to say, "Let Manager Chu send 5000 taels to Chen Xiangxuan."

This is a final decision and cannot be changed.

Ming concubine puffed her cheeks secretly, then raised her eyes and smiled, and took her leave.

After Ming concubine left, Qu's mother smiled and said, "Shi Zifei seems not willing to take on this job."

Mingyu's reluctance has already been engraved on her face, so how can the princess not see it, but she hopes that Mingyu will always be the concubine of Zhennan Prince and stay in the Zhennan Palace. Inevitably, Zhou's mother has always been in charge of Chen Xiangxuan's affairs, and it is well organized. The concubine can't see the skill of Ming concubine's housekeeper, so preparing the birthday gift for the queen dowager should be regarded as a training for her.

Let me explain that my concubine, after leaving the Hengwu courtyard, couldn't help raising her hand to her forehead, Xueyan knew that her concubine didn't like to meddle in such trivial matters, so she said, "Concubine Shizi, let's go to the garden for a stroll?"

In the garden, hundreds of flowers are blooming, but no one appreciates them. It really disappoints their beauty and beauty.

The master and the servant went for a walk in the garden, and Ming concubine stood on the white jade bridge and looked into the distance. There were white clouds in the sky, and the towering Cangshan Mountains in the distance.

Wherever Ming Concubine looked, Xue Yan followed her. She didn't see anything she liked, so she looked around and saw Princess Langhuan walking over with her maid, Qiu Lu. Cloud sleeves.

Ming concubine turned her head, and happened to meet Princess Langhuan's eyes, the cold eyes shot over, even if the sun shone on her body, it was inevitable to feel a bit of chill.

Ming concubine thought Princess Langhuan was coming to talk to her, but she didn't expect to see her standing on the bridge, so she turned around and left.

Ming concubine was not surprised by such a reaction, Princess Langhuan rolled on the ground in pain, and suffered such a big dumb loss, how could she have a good face for her, even if the sun came out from the west.

What's more, Chu Mofeng gave her a deadline and forced her to make amends to the Beidinghou Mansion. She was looking forward to how she would make amends, but she hoped that in the future, Princess Langhuan would also detour when she saw her like just now.

After staying in the garden for a while, concubine Ming went back to Chen Xiangxuan, and when she entered the courtyard and saw Qing Xing, she asked, "Has Master come back yet?"

Qing Xing glanced at the study and said, "Master is in the study."

Ming concubine went to find Chu Mochen, she walked lightly, and when she walked to the door, she heard Zhao Feng talking, and he said, "My lord, other than revealing the identity of Zhennan Wangfu, all the subordinates have tried After passing, there is no way to buy two connected shops.”

Chu Mochen looked at the map on the table, all the shops on it were clearly marked, and the ones marked with a vermilion pen were those that could be bought. After Zhao Feng’s efforts, there were more than a dozen vermilion marks, but they were not connected. Chu Mochen looked back and forth several times, and said, "Isn't this shop owned by the Shen family, and you can't buy it?"

Ming concubine had rescued Young Master Shen, and also agreed to help Young Master Shen heal his sister. It should be an easy task to buy Shen's shop.

Zhao Feng shook his head and said, "Before looking for Young Master Shen, my subordinates tried to buy from the Shen family, but they were flatly rejected. Later, when they approached Young Master Shen, Young Master Shen agreed to help, but now the business in the capital is under the management of Second Young Master Shen. Second Young Master Shen said that it wasn't long before he took over the business, and the Shen family's business in the capital didn't expand, but instead sold the shop, which would damage his Second Young Master Shen's reputation."

Young Master Shen looked at him with a look of embarrassment, and Zhao Feng was not good at forcing others to do things that he wanted to do. Originally, doing business was something he would do whatever he wanted, and Shi Zifei was not the kind of person who liked to take kindness in return.

As for Zhao Feng, as the secret guard of Prince Zhennan's son, he would not ask for help unless he had to. He was afraid that he would be laughed at if he found out about it in the future, so he really tried his best.

Concubine Ming could hear the conversation in the room very clearly. She really didn't expect that it would be so difficult to buy two shops. She opened the door and went in, saying, "Didn't I say before that I wouldn't buy shops in busy streets?"

Chu Mochen looked at her, with a little light in his bewitching phoenix eyes, and said, "How can I not help you with such a small matter?"

Chu Mochen's voice was mellow and pleasant, and he spoke calmly, while Zhao Feng twitched at the corner of his mouth. This is not a trivial matter, it is much more difficult than killing people.

Ming concubine walked over and said angrily, "If it's that simple, the store would have already been bought."

Chu Mochen gave Zhao Feng a sideways glance, "That's because the hidden guards are incompetent, and I'll help you with it tomorrow."

Ming concubine looked at him and said, "You want to buy the shop yourself?"

As the son of the Prince of Zhennan, let alone a shop, he could buy half a street.

Chu Mochen hummed lightly, "I'll go in person, and I'll help you find a backer by the way."

"Who are you looking for?" Mingyu was curious.

Chu Mochen deliberately kept it secret and said, "You will know tomorrow."

Ming concubine gritted her teeth secretly, but Chu Mochen picked up the bank note pressed by the paperweight, and changed the subject, "The old lady asked you to prepare a birthday gift for the queen mother, so you agreed?"

In Chu Mochen's eyes, Ming concubine is not so easy to talk to.

Ming concubine let out a sigh of relief, "I don't accept it now, and I will have a birthday banquet for the Queen Mother later. I think I will have to push this matter to me. At least there are still ten days left."

It's not just preparing a birthday gift. It's not easy to prepare well, but it's still a simple matter to be well-regulated.

Ming concubine took the bank note casually and said, "I just happen to go to the street tomorrow to have a look."

Ming concubine didn't ask Chu Mochen about visiting Chu Mowei in the ancestral hall, and Chu Mochen didn't say anything. After staying in the study for a while, Ming concubine went back to the inner room, what to do.

In the evening, South Courtyard.

In the house, six dishes and one soup were placed on a large table carved with rosewood, all of which were delicious in color, fragrance, and flavor. However, the third wife put it down without taking two bites.

Outside, Chu Ke opened the bead curtain and went in. The servant girl stepped forward and said, "Madam has no appetite."

Chu Ke waved her hand, and the servant girl backed out.

Chu Ke walked up to the third wife and sat down, and said, "Mother, I'm just a concubine, it's worth your anger because of her, don't you even eat?"
