As soon as Gong Yi spoke, Mo Lan knew that he was here to find her. If he was not sure, this adult would not have time to come to the street to look for her.
But she left without saying a few words, and she made some mistake again. She now feels that Gong Yi must have a split personality!
After Gong Yi left, Mo Lan curled his lips and said in a low voice, "It's inexplicable!"
But after a certain prince left, he said to Chifeng in a cold voice: "Go check those two men just now."
half an hour later
The prince, dressed in black and wearing a fang mask, pursed his thin lips and fell into deep thought.
Even Karasuba couldn't find out the details of those two men. Mo Lan left Jizhou yesterday and was still alone when he pretended to be him and entered the Dingyin Pavilion.
"Back to the prince, I heard from Qingfeng that Miss Mo brought two extremely ugly men into the Mo house this morning. When they came out, they were the same two men that I saw just now. Without the prince's order, the Karasuba tribe only dared to be near the Mo house. Guard, don’t dare go deep.”
Gong Yi tapped his fingers rhythmically on the table beside him, "Chifeng, go prepare some gifts. I want to visit all the ministers in person."
As for Mo Lan, while Mo Ran was still in Gong Yi's fright, he quickly sent her home.
According to the letter Yu Ming received, the three rushed to the south of the city.
The store Xin Yi found was in the center of the south of the city. The flow of people was no worse than that of the east of the city, but more people came and went.
But it doesn’t matter, ordinary people have ordinary people’s business practices.
Now, as long as she can slowly get back her money, if there is a unique competitor in the capital overnight, she may be eradicated by several famous families before she can gain a firm foothold.
This shop used to be a teahouse, and the size and layout were in line with Mo Lan's expectations. She planned to open an elixir shop first to sell low-level elixirs that people in the south of the city could afford.
According to the pattern shown on the map, Mo Lan quickly designed a new decoration style and drew the drawings.
"Xin Yi, please complete the work as soon as possible. I may not be in the capital after the new year. I will have to work hard for you to take care of the store then."
"Yes, Master."
For some reason, Mo Lan always felt that there was no light in Xin Yi's eyes. He was serious in doing things and thinking comprehensively, but those eyes with a faint purple light were like dead water. Except for some disturbances when he regained his life and saw her, other times it was like... An emotionless robot.
Suddenly, the communication ball in her arms glowed, flashing extremely fast.
She injected spiritual power and immediately heard the voice coming from the other side, "Lan'er, go home quickly, King Qi is here."
Mo Lan clenched the communication ball in her hand, her heart in her throat. This man couldn't be so stingy. He just pretended to be him and went to an auction. What's more, the auction was inseparable from him. relationship.
"Yu Ming, Ye Ming, go home!"
When Mo Lan hurried to the door of her house, she saw Gong Yi's exclusive golden nanmu carriage parked at the door, and there were many more spies around the Mo family.
Taking a deep breath, she lifted up the hem of her skirt and walked into the living room with a smile on her face, "My maid has met Prince Qi. I wish you well, Prince!"
The moment Mo Lan spoke, the frozen air in the living room melted away in an instant, and Song Fuyue finally let out the breath she had been holding.
Just now, King Qi led a large group of people, carrying large and small boxes of goods, directly into the Mo family. They looked like they were raiding the house!
Song Fuyue remained calm, and the smile on her face almost froze, "I am here to see King Qi. I wonder if His Highness has any orders for you?"
Gong Yi walked straight to the main seat, lifted up his clothes and sat down, "The emperor sent me to give New Year's gifts to all the officials in the capital. The Mo family is all here. Once they are all here, they all come out to receive the order and receive the reward."
Song Fuyue clasped her hands together and managed to maintain a smile, "Go back to the prince, the master of the family will not return for two days. My daughter Mo Ran is studying in the mansion, so I will order someone to call her immediately."
"Um"
Gong Yi hummed without any trace, and glanced at Chifeng, who immediately took orders and followed the maid.
Song Fuyue glanced at Gong Yi, and was hesitating whether to mention Mo Lan when she remembered that he wanted Lan'er to make the antidote for Qian Jin Powder, "Your Majesty, please wait a moment while I prepare tea."
When I arrived at the side hall, I continued to transmit spiritual power to the communication ball. Even though the communication ball was connected, I only dared to whisper.
Song Fuyue came back with tea and snacks and saw Gong Yi staring thoughtfully at a picture of a man resisting rice in the rain.
"Your Majesty, tea and snacks are ready, please!"
Gong Yi came back to his senses, walked to the main seat, looked at the dense tea, but did not move.
"I heard that Mr. Mo took in many refugees during the flood last year. This picture was probably drawn by an artist at that time."
Song Fuyue nodded slightly and looked at the painting with affection in her eyes and a gentle expression, "Back to the prince, yes, the head of the family went to the south of the city in the rain to deliver rice and porridge. After knowing that it was painted, he bought this painting and hung it at home to educate his children. We must care about the people and regard the country as our home.”
Gong Yi was wearing a mask. No one knew what his expression was now. He picked up the hibiscus cake on the table and put it into his mouth. He saw that Mo Lan had a lot of it with him and ate it every day. When he tasted it today, there were actually a few. Very different.
"By the way, isn't Miss Mo at home?"
"The eldest daughter went out to buy new year's goods today and won't be back until later. She didn't dare to waste the prince's time, so she didn't mention it just now."
Gong Yi put down the cake in his hand, picked up the tea on the table and smelled it, then put it down again, "It doesn't matter, I will just wait."
"Yes, I will immediately order someone to bring my eldest daughter back."
Mo Ran looked at Chi Feng, who was holding a sword in his hand and dressed in black with an expressionless face. He didn't dare to say a word and followed him to the front hall. He bowed politely and stood behind Song Fuyue, not daring to breathe heavily.
The atmosphere in the living room remained stiff until Mo Lan came back and broke the calm.
Gong Yi looked at the two men carrying large and small bags behind Mo Lan. He felt a little impetuous for no reason, and picked up the tea on the table and drank it all.
"The Mohist family has accepted the decree! Since I came to the throne, the world has been peaceful and the time is festive. I am willing to have fun with all the princes, the people, and the world. The achievements of all the officials will be recorded in the history of Qing Dynasty. I will write my heart with etiquette. , May you all remember to work hard and diligently, may you be prosperous and prosperous for a long time!”
"I accept the order!"
Song Fuyue took the imperial edict and held it firmly in her hand. She quietly glanced at Gong Yi, who had been silent since returning from Mo Lan. She felt a little uneasy. Could it be that Lan'er had angered King Qi?
"Miss Mo will go out to buy new year's goods in person. It seems that Mr. Mo is really the pillar of the country, honest and thrifty. Since the Mo family is short of manpower, I will take the initiative to send some people to the Mo family. All expenses will be deducted from the accounting office of Prince Qi's Mansion. !”
Mo Lan narrowed her eyes when she heard this. She didn't expect that only a small part of her strength was exposed. Gong Yi had so blatantly planted an informant in the Mo family.
By the way, when we were in Jizhou, everyone knew that it was Young Master Wen who subdued the four eighth-level spirit beasts, but Gong Yi knew it was her!
Seeing Mo Lan's sullen face, Song Fuyue didn't know what she was thinking, so she quickly said, "I would like to thank you for your consideration and your grace!"
Gong Yi stood up directly, glanced at Mo Lan, and said in a colder voice, "I have to go to other officials' houses, so there is no need to delay!"
For a long time, the air-conditioning in the Mo family's living room did not dissipate. Mo Ran shuddered, "Sister, have you made King Qi angry?"
Mo Lan rubbed her head and said with a smile: "What are you thinking in your little head? King Qi is a ghost. Is it my turn to offend you? Go and see what the reward is?"
Mo Ran's eyes flashed with disappointment, but he still rushed towards the big and small bags on the table happily.
Mo Lan looked at the pile of rare treasures on the table and in the boxes on the floor, and sighed silently, "Hey!" What's the use? The gifts given by the emperor can't be exchanged for money, they have to be offered every day!
