Chapter 153

Su Wen and the court lady sent Xiao Shuyu and the eldest prince to the Empress Dowager, saying that they would go out of the palace to purchase some raw materials for making rouge powder, but the Empress Dowager really didn't ask too much. After settling down the two children, Chu Xiaoyun and Su Wen left the palace along the palace road from Anding Gate to Tonghua Gate with tokens.

On the way, Chu Xiaoyun asked Su Wen if he knew who invited him here. Su Wen shook his head: "I don't know, no one told me."

Then he said embarrassingly: "I didn't think to ask."

Chu Xiaoyun knew that his silly husband Lang Shi asked a little fool who didn't know anything. The matter has not been solved easily, it seems that what the six-door policeman said is not completely right.

Forget it, Chu Xiaoyun sighed, and figured it out by himself after deciding.

They found her shop according to the address given by Zhou Ying, but they didn't expect that today was the day when Zhou Ying opened her shop in the capital. Seeing the old people, Zhou Ying was very happy, and hurriedly welcomed them into the store.

Chu Xiaoyun and Su Wen explained their intentions, and Zhou Ying thought for a while: "Since it is a gift to the queen mother, it is natural to make a special order to express your heart. Tomorrow you will go to visit the queen mother, and this evening, even the big ones will not be able to come out." , How about just making a winter hand warmer? Now it's cold winter, just in time. If you think it's light, just ask for anything, I'll rush to make it during this time, and it's not too late to deliver it when you leave."

Chu Xiaoyun thought this method was very good, but thinking that the Chinese New Year was only half a month away, if he wanted to rush back to Hejing County to celebrate the New Year, he might have to leave, so he couldn't help worrying about Zhou Ying's time.

Zhou Ying smiled and said: "I have already brought my sister-in-law and nephew to the capital, and I will celebrate the New Year in the capital this year. The shop in the capital just opened today, and the Chinese New Year is a busy time, and we may not be able to go back until the first month is over. ."

Seeing that Zhou Ying's schedule would not be delayed because of him, Chu Xiaoyun breathed a sigh of relief. Arranged the goods and time with Zhou Ying, Zhou Ying said that after they were finished, they would personally send them to Tonghua Gate, waiting for them to pick them up. It saves them the trouble of going out of the palace frequently.

Su Wen also bought a large number of small items in Zhou Yingleo's store, which were used for communicating with people and rewarding court ladies and eunuchs on weekdays. The two also asked Zhou Ying for advice and bought some special products from Hejing County. Zhou Yingdao had already passed most of the items in the store today, which were left over from the customers. She asked the staff to bring the good ones from the warehouse at night, and they would deliver them together tomorrow.

Chu Xiaoyun and Su Wen thanked again.

On the way back to the palace, Su Wen pretended to complain to Chu Xiaoyun: "It's better to go home earlier. If you stay in this palace for a longer time, you won't even be able to pay the bounty." Chu Xiaoyun squeezed

his Fortunately, he worked hard to handle the case, and he also got some extra rewards in the past two years. However, according to what Su Wen said, it was far from being able to withstand the toss of living in the palace. Most of Su Wen's expenses in the palace were the money he got from selling rouge, gouache, powder and spices. Thinking of this, Chu Xiaoyun was not only a little ashamed. I want to give Su Wen a good life, but I don't want Su Wen to share a lot for him instead.

Seeing Chu Xiaoyun's nervous look, Su Wen couldn't help laughing out loud: "Idiot, I lied to you. I made a lot of money from the rouge and spices I consigned to Sister Zhou. After entering the palace, apart from rewarding the maids and eunuchs Besides needing to spend money, you don't need to spend money when you associate with other people."

"You don't need to spend money?" Chu Xiaoyun didn't understand.

"My husband has forgotten my craftsmanship. I can make good rouge and spices. Naturally, I will give it to others with what I made. It won't look cheap, and it can express my heart. It's great. And I made it myself, but Unique. The queen mother likes it, let alone other people." Su Wen was overjoyed in Chu Xiaoyun's arms, "Although making a demonstration requires money to buy raw materials, it is much cheaper than sending finished products. And now I live in the palace , The queen mother said, I can pick the flowers and plants grown in the palace to make rouge powder, and there is no money spent on this big head."

It turned out to be the case. Chu Xiaoyun originally thought that raw materials would cost money, but he didn't expect to solve it like this. As for the things made by Su Wen, the Queen Mother likes them all, and others naturally yearn for them when they know about them. Unexpectedly, the supporter Xiao Fulang also used his talent to solve the problem of survival in the palace. This is much stronger than his husband.

Get off the carriage at Tonghua Gate, pay the driver's fare, and the two return along the way they came. The first thing he did when he went back was Su Wen took the maid to pick up the two children.

Early the next morning, someone from the palace came to report that someone was waiting in front of Tonghua Gate, so Chu Xiaoyun hurried there. Seeing Zhou Ying at the gate of the palace, she found her eyes were red and her face was tired, presumably she had been up all night and stayed up all night. Chu Xiaoyun was very sorry, and wanted to give more money, Zhou Ying smiled and said: "Does the friendship between you and me need to be measured by money? Hurry up and take it back, as long as it doesn't drop in price in front of the Queen Mother." Saying that, she asked to follow

her The buddy who came here took the special products out of the car and handed them to Chu Xiaoyun.

Even though Zhou Ying said so, Chu Xiaoyun was still quite guilty. Zhou Ying stayed up late last night and has to take a compensatory rest today, which will definitely affect the daytime business.

After bringing the warm gloves back to the palace, Chu Xiaoyun and Su Wen sat together and opened the box to have a look. It has to be said that Zhou Ying's embroidery, whether it is the selection of materials or patterns, is undoubtedly exquisite and elegant. On this small warm glove, respecting the royal system, a phoenix surrounded by flowers is embroidered, which is lifelike. It can also be matched with the identity of the queen mother.

After watching, Su Wen put away the presents: "Let's go see the Queen Mother after breakfast."

Chu Xiaoyun readily agreed.

I didn't feel anything when watching court dramas before, but now that I experienced it personally, standing outside the queen mother's palace waiting to be summoned, Chu Xiaoyun was still quite nervous. On the contrary, Su Wen stayed for a long time, and seemed to have gotten used to it. However, there was not much time for him to be nervous, and soon the people in the empress dowager's palace announced them to go in.

The couple met with the queen mother, and Su Wen gave the queen mother a meeting gift prepared by Chu Xiaoyun. The queen mother was very happy, and immediately opened the box, and took warm gloves to use.

Su Wen had the habit of picking flowers early in the morning to make rouge gouache. After paying his respects, the queen mother asked Su Wen and the two children to pick flowers from the flower garden specially planted by the royal family to make various rouge spices. Previously, it was only a place where palace craftsmen could go. Ever since Su Wen came, the queen mother has made a decree that Su Wen can go anytime if needed.

After Su Wen and the maid left with their two children, the Empress Dowager and Chu Xiaoyun said: "Your Majesty and I have also heard about what Chu Aiqing did in Hejing County. Your Majesty is now in charge of the government, and he wants to work hard to govern. He needs capable ministers and officials. I don't know his background. I also really like that child Su Wen. He is kind, gentle, and patient in chatting with Ai's family. Ai's family likes to talk to him and is not tired. Let their father and son stay in the capital for a while.

" The Queen Mother took a sip of tea and said, "I heard news from Hejing County that things are very busy there recently. The assassins who assassinated you have not yet arrived. You have to protect them while investigating the case." Father and son are also incapable of splitting up. Why don't you let Su Wen spend more time in the capital, so you can concentrate on handling the case. It's almost Chinese New Year now, and you can spend the New Year with their father and son in the capital before going back." Since the queen mother spoke, she wanted to come

here It's settled. Originally Chu Xiaoyun was not sure when to go home, but now it seems that he is going to live in the capital for a while. Chu Xiaoyun thanked the Queen Mother, remembering the person who brought them to the capital, and asked again: "Where did the Queen Mother know that my wife has such a small skill?" The Queen Mother laughed and said:

"Small skills? This Ai family does not approve. But recommend Su You know the person Wen, she often praised Su Wen's craftsmanship in my ear, which made the Ai family yearn for him. After Su Wen came, his craftsmanship really did not disappoint the Ai family. If there are raw materials, given time, his skills will definitely surpass those of the craftsmen in the palace."

Hearing that the person who let the Queen Mother know about Su Wen knew him, the first thing Chu Xiaoyun thought of was the woman from the capital city who helped Wei Jinghan quell the riot in the county government.

"I wonder if I can see her?" Chu Xiaoyun asked.

The queen mother smiled and said: "Since you have come to the capital, she will come to see you when she gets the news. Don't worry."

Chu Xiaoyun came out of the queen mother's palace. He was quite nervous before meeting him. Forget about being nervous.

A court lady came forward to greet him, saying that Chu Xiaoyun could go to the flower garden to say goodbye to Su Wen. Chu Xiaoyun was surprised to hear it, but he did it anyway.

In the flower garden, Su Wen had almost picked the flowers he needed today. He told Chu Xiaoyun that after picking the flowers, he wanted to chat with the Queen Mother for a while. The Queen Mother likes to watch him wash flowers and pound pulp, while chatting with him. Be sure to go back before lunch.

It seems that the Queen Mother intends to keep Su Wen by her side. It's just why you stay, it's hard to guess. That being the case, Chu Xiaoyun went back alone to the side hall attached to the queen mother's palace where Su Wen lived temporarily.

As soon as Chu Xiaoyun stepped into the palace gate, an eunuch came to report that Miss Fang from the Shenweihou Mansion had arrived.

Chu Xiaoyun really wondered, he was new here, how could such a person come to find him. Before he could say please, the other party had already entered the door.

"Chu Butou, long time no see." A playful greeting followed the master's figure.

Chu Xiaoyun raised his head and looked up. Isn't this person the capital woman from the county magistrate's faction who sent troops to Hejing County to encircle and suppress the rebellion? I was looking for her, but she really came. The Queen Mother was right.

"Why is it you?" Chu Xiaoyun asked, "You are a noble lady in the capital, why are you running around?"

Although Chu Xiaoyun didn't know how powerful Shenweihou was, he knew it from the word "Houfu". Not ordinary people. I don't know why he went to Hejing County in the first place. Could it be that Wei Jinghan was originally from the capital?

When Chu Xiaoyun was lost in thought, Ms. Fang smiled: "I can't help it. I haven't seen my brother for a long time. When I went to Hejing County, I went to see my brother. Later, I helped you Slightly."

"Your brother?" Chu Xiaoyun didn't turn his mind for a moment, isn't Wei Jinghan's surname Wei?

"My brother Fang Lingfeng." Miss Fang giggled again, "He is the son of the mighty marquis."

Chu Xiaoyun, who was drinking tea, almost choked to death. He coughed for a long time before he remembered that Fang Lingfeng's coffin face was named Fang . At the beginning, he felt that with Fang Lingfeng's demeanor and skill, he didn't look like a book boy, but he didn't expect that the other party turned out to be the heir of the Shenweihou Mansion.

Since Fang Lingfeng who served as Wei Jinghan's book boy was the son of the mighty Marquis, who was Wei Jinghan? Could it be... Chu Xiaoyun felt that his brain was a bit big.

Ms. Fang probably also saw Chu Xiaoyun's thoughts, she laughed out loud: "Your Majesty, the dragon body, how could he be in danger. Besides, if he is not in the capital all year round, what will happen to the country's government affairs." Her own brain hole was seen

through , Chu Xiaoyun smiled embarrassedly. Miss Fang smiled and waved her hands: "Forget it, I won't tease you. Lord Wei was His Majesty's companion when he was a child, and his father was a tutor, His Majesty's teacher." "Ah?" Chu Xiaoyun was stunned, he thought of Wei

Jinghan Another person beside him said, "Then, who is Master Yu?" "

Master Yu?"

The accompanying people turned out to be big bosses who concealed their identities. It's just that such a prominent person, why did they all go to that small place in Hejing County? He was quite puzzled.

"Do you want to ask why they all go to the small town of Hejing County?" Miss Fang asked.

Chu Xiaoyun nodded quickly.

"Then you promise to help me with one thing, and I'll tell you." Miss Fang arrived.

Chu Xiaoyun didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "You have such a status, is there anything you can't do? You can't do it, how can I do it." "

Yes." Miss Fang raised a finger and waved, "This There are really things that only you can do."

Judging from the behavior of the Fang family, Miss Fang should not be a perverted person. Chu Xiaoyun thought for a while, then nodded in agreement.
