I opened a tea shop in Bianjing

The fact that Mo Yunxiao became the first female servant in the Song Dynasty has been widely spread in Tokyo, and her defiance of the imperial decree has been compiled into a storybook and performed back and forth between Goulan houses.If it wasn't for Song Wusao's firm prohibition, I'm afraid that such a thing would have to be said in Fan Lou.

It has been six days since she was appointed as the "Condemnation Envoy Inside and Outside the City". Even though she stays at home, the rumors from the outside world have already been rampant, making her upset.

Trouble creates chaos, and her heart is a mess.

The women who lost their virginity in the Ghost Fan Tower were indeed pitiful, but Zhao Ji couldn't swallow such a mouthful of hot tofu after feeding it into his own mouth, and it was hard for others to understand such suffering.

So she hasn't seen anyone these days, even Song Wusao and her family have been turned away. Logically speaking, it is very rude to act like a guest, but whoever calls her Mo Yunxiao and whoever calls her The newly-appointed "envoy of condemnation inside and outside the city" by the official family.

At this time, she was sitting in front of the table, on which was a set of exquisite tea sets, and the fragrance of purple clouds from the high mountains permeated the air.In her hand was an open book.She was pointing to the words on the book with her slender fingers, moving with her gaze.

Books in this era are all written in traditional Chinese characters, without punctuation marks and annotation information, and the vertical layout undoubtedly makes reading more difficult.

Of course, these are not all obstacles. The noisy street outside the window makes her even more irritable.She can only close the hanging window tightly, although it can also isolate part of the sound, it cannot guarantee complete silence after all.

Mo Yunxiao struggled to read, so she could only point with her fingers and read each word.

At this moment, the servant outside the door called softly: "Miss Mo, someone has come to see you."

"No, I don't see anyone." Mo Yunxiao frowned and said without raising her head.

"Why, could it be that the lady doesn't recognize old friends anymore after becoming an official?" A voice came faintly.

Mo Yunxiao's heart skipped a beat, and a rare smile appeared on her face.She hurried to open the door, and Mrs. Wei stood at the door and looked at herself with a smile on her face.

Both of them smiled reservedly.Mo Yunxiao said to the boy: "I have something to say to Mrs. Wei, you go now."

The boy promised and went.Mo Yunxiao watched him leave, then took Mrs. Wei's hand and entered the room together.

"Yuru, you're here. I'm really worried these days." Mo Yunxiao said while pouring tea for Mrs. Wei.

Mrs. Wei chuckled, cupped her hands, and said, "I would like to congratulate you first. Since ancient times, there hasn't been any woman who can serve as a messenger."

"Oh, Yuru!" Mo Yunxiao handed the teacup to her, and said in a complaining voice, "Why are you even making fun of me?"

"I didn't make fun of you." Mrs. Wei sat down and took a sip of tea, and said, "It's just that the news in Tokyo is raging now. Everyone is looking at you eagerly."

"Do you see me making a fool of yourself?" Mo Yunxiao asked.

"There are many such people." Mrs. Wei did not refute.But after saying this, her smile gradually faded.

She picked up the tea cake with tweezers and put it into the soup bottle again, saying: "In the past few days, not only have there been discussions among the people, but there has also been a lot of quarrels in the court. My master brought Xu Jiang, Li Gefei, Li Qingchen and other veterans to the government. Shang Zhazi, I hope the officials can withdraw this order."

"What did the officials say?" Mo Yunxiao asked curiously.

Mrs. Wei shook her head with a wry smile, and said: "The officials tried their best to reject all opinions, and once they quarreled so urgently that they even brought up the dragon case, which scared the ministers of the two governments to their knees."

"Why does he insist on asking me to do this?" Mo Yunxiao frowned, eyes full of confusion.

"Oh, our official family is really confusing." Mrs. Wei had ordered a bowl of tea at this time and distributed it to herself and Mo Yunxiao, and asked, "What are your plans?"

Mo Yunxiao sighed slightly, and said, "What other plans can I have, just give it a try."

When Mrs. Wei was sipping tea, she glanced at the book on Mo Yunxiao's table, took a look at it, and couldn't help laughing.

"Yo! Our maid is planning to become a general again?" Mrs. Wei said with a smile, "Why did you even read "Sun Tzu's Art of War?"

Mo Yunxiao smiled shyly: "When you are at a loss, you can only talk for comfort."

Mrs. Wei closed the book with a snap, and said, "Know yourself and know your enemy and never give up in a hundred battles. He Lu, if you want to break the current predicament, you only need to memorize this sentence."

Mo Yunxiao still looked confused, and asked, "Yu Ru, what do you say?"

"Where did the decisive Mo Helu go? Why is he so sluggish?" Mrs. Wei said half-jokingly before explaining: "The government wants you to deal with the lost girl in Guifanlou. It’s hard to be caught off guard. But after careful analysis, we have three advantages and three disadvantages. This is the first step of a confidant.”

"Oh?" Mo Yunxiao regained his energy and couldn't help straightening his body, asking: "What is Sanli?"

"One benefit lies in power." Mrs. Wei took a small tea bowl from the tea tray and put it on the table, saying: "The commissioner of condemnation inside and outside the city is very knowledgeable. Inside and outside the city refers to the inside and outside of Tokyo City, that is, Said, as long as you don’t leave Tokyo, your Mo Helu’s order can be carried out unimpeded like the king’s order, even the head of the court has no right to interfere. Wouldn’t it be a great advantage to have the power in your hands?”

"What about Erli?" Mo Yunxiao continued to ask.

"These two benefits are for the people." Madam Wei set out another small teacup and explained: "The Cao Gang and Guifan Tower have gone against the law and lost their conscience. In this Tokyo city, the sky has long been a source of anger. It's just that the Cao Gang has the Zhang brothers to back them up." , the common people are all angry, but they dare not speak out. But now someone can do justice for the heavens and relieve the people from their poverty. This is something that conforms to the hearts of the people of the world.

After Madam Wei finished speaking, she took another sip of hot tea, and continued, "As for the three benefits, it's you, Mo Helu." As she spoke, she placed the big teapot beside the two small teacups.

Mo Yunxiao was taken aback, and asked, "Yu Ru, what do you mean?"

"What do you mean? Hehe!" Mrs. Wei said with a smile, "You, Mo Helu, have been hanging out with a group of prodigal children since you were young. The nickname of female Yan Luo."

"So what?" Mo Yunxiao was still puzzled.

Mrs. Wei said with a smile: "I'm afraid that in Tokyo, you, Mo Helu, will attract the most attention when you are out of the government. Although you are acting a little perverted, you haven't caused any major disasters in these years. But this time King Jian, the Flower Dragon, was abolished, and you have a share of the credit. How can such a character not be loved and hated? How can he not be admired?"

After she finished speaking, she reached out and held Mo Yunxiao's hand again.Mo Yunxiao instinctively wanted to dodge, but Mrs. Wei's grip was so tight that she didn't pull her hand away.

"More importantly, you are a woman." Madam Wei put away her smile, and said earnestly: "The official is right, women are the most considerate of women. As a woman, you can do many things that men can't do. , How many people in the world can have such courage and tolerance? The officials tried their best to reject all opinions, and this may be where their good intentions lie."

Looking at Mrs. Wei's sincere gaze, Mo Yunxiao could only feel the blood in her heart surging.

She let out a long breath, couldn't help but smiled, and said, "Yu Ru, you say that, but it makes me feel uncomfortable."

"He Lu, don't underestimate yourself." Madam Wei withdrew her hand, poured hot tea for herself, and said, "With these three benefits, it's not impossible to handle this matter well. Besides, as long as you make up your mind, My sister-in-law and I will do our best to help."

"Then there are three disadvantages?" Mo Yunxiao became worried again.

Mrs. Wei paused, and then said slowly: "That's right, there are still three disadvantages. But if you deal with it properly, there is always a way to resolve it."

As she said that, she picked up the lid of the tea bowl and gently placed it on the first tea bowl, saying: "If it is unfavorable, it will cause a lot of people's mouths. Alas, this is also the embarrassment for the officials and the court."

"My dynasty is no different from the Tang Dynasty. It has become a custom for women to observe etiquette. If a woman loses her dignity to others and the bad reputation spreads, even if her relatives don't blame her, it will be difficult for her to marry again." Mrs. Wei said with a heavy expression. The tone said: "What's more, most of these lost women come from the countryside. They themselves and their parents are ignorant and chaotic. They couldn't think of death for a while, were scolded and tortured to death, or married as concubines and died wronged. I'm afraid there are many people."

Mo Yunxiao nodded approvingly, and said, "If that's the case, saving people is the same as killing people."

Mrs. Wei nodded, and said, "There are many good people in the world, and it is impossible to keep people from talking nonsense. So this is a disadvantage."

After she finished speaking, she picked up a bowl lid and put it on the second tea bowl, saying: "The two disadvantages are the disputes between the Cao Gang and the Beggar Gang. The Beggar Gang just wants to occupy the magpie's nest, and the Cao Gang wants to survive. I'm afraid we have to fight to the death. The city gate caught fire, and the fish in the pond suffered. This is two disadvantages."

Mo Yunxiao nodded silently, her expression becoming more serious.

"As for the three disadvantages, alas..." Mrs. Wei also let out a long sigh, and then gently closed the lid of the teapot with a sense of loss.

"The struggle between the court and the central government is very confusing. If you have gained such a great power, you will naturally be involved in this boring and dangerous dispute."

Mrs. Wei said with a bit of worry: "I'm really afraid that your rampant temper will be caught by others. In the end, not only will you not be able to save others, but you will even hurt yourself."

"About this point, I know you know, and all the officials in Tokyo, big and small, are naturally aware of it." Mrs. Wei said: "If someone wants to harm you, it is inevitable that you will be obedient and your authority will not be asserted."

After listening to Mrs. Wei's analysis, Mo Yunxiao fell into a long silence.With a sullen face and eyes closed, she could clearly hear her own breathing and the beating of her heart.

"In short, this road is very dangerous. If you don't want to go, I'll go back and tell my master, tell him to enter the palace immediately to remonstrate with death, and maybe the officials can take it back."

Mo Yunxiao just closed her eyes and meditated, but she said something that Mrs. Wei didn't expect.

"He, I'm afraid it's also very difficult."

Mrs. Wei was taken aback, and asked, "He? Which him?"

Only then did Mo Yunxiao quietly open her eyes, looked at Mrs. Wei and said, "I mean the official family."

Mrs. Wei gasped, quite surprised.After all, she had never heard anyone dare to refer to the emperor as "he".

"Yes, these days the officials are in a state of distress." Madam Wei calmed down her breathing, and said slowly: "The chief executives are arguing with the officials about your matter. King Jian has a deep root in the court. Although there is a joint trial by the three judges, he can't be moved for a while. ... and between the Beggars' Gang and the Cao Gang... Alas, the officials are involved in these three incidents, and according to my master, people have lost a lot of weight."

Mo Yunxiao stared, and said: "The crux of these three things probably lies with me. If I can arrange the women in Guifan Tower properly, the disputes in the court will subside, and everything will develop in a clear direction. .”

After hearing this, Mrs. Wei showed surprise and said, "He Lu, are you willing to do it?"

Mo Yunxiao smiled slightly: "I never said I would not do it, but I just don't know how to do it. The authorities are confused, but fortunately you have Yuru to guide me. Now that all doubts are gone, there is no reason not to do it."

"Okay!" Mrs. Wei slapped the table excitedly, stood up and said, "I knew that my He Lu is still the good daughter of that man who won't give in to a man!"

Mo Yunxiao also stood up, and smiled faintly: "Yu Ru, you are right. Knowing yourself and your enemy will never let you down in a hundred battles. Your three advantages and three disadvantages are also very penetrating. However, right now we are just friends and we don't know each other. If you don't Abandon, just follow me to Ghost Fan Tower."

Ghost Fan Tower covers a vast area with many houses.But at this time, it looked dilapidated. The empty lobby was full of ruins, and there were bloodstains on the floor that could not be washed off at that time. The sweep of the imperial court was indeed tragic.

At this time, there is no red candle incense table in the lobby, only a dozen soldiers are guarding.In the first few days, the soldiers were still able to hold their swords, but now they were showing signs of fatigue, throwing their sabers aside, or standing against the wall or sitting on the ground, looking listless and dispirited.

"I said, what kind of job are we doing here?" A soldier who went out to urinate complained to his companion: "I guard these women all day long, and don't let them touch you when they cry. time to go."

"Hey, female Yan Luo hasn't come these days. It's good if she doesn't come. Brothers can take it easy. If she comes, I'm afraid we won't be able to eat it." The companion also echoed.

"Yes, yes." The previous one tied his trousers belt, turned his head to the direction of the ghost fan building, and said with a smile: "There is no one anyway, so why don't we be close to the water tower... Make a woman happy. Wait for the girl Yan Luo is here, but there is no chance."

The other person also tied up his trouser belt, looked around cautiously, and said, "Is it possible? The sir makes repeated orders, don't be frivolous. Let's..."

"Oh, no one saw it, so what are you afraid of?" said the former one, "The big deal is to call the brothers together, everyone will be happy, and whoever says it will go."

The other thought it was reasonable, so he said, "Okay! Big Brother, I'll take the lead."

Before the words fell, there was a loud gong sound, and a soldier shouted loudly: "Brother, come quickly, the envoy is here!"

The two were shocked when they heard the words, they looked at each other unconsciously, and both lifted their pants: "It's a waste."

Chapter 86 seems to be lost, and I don't know how it was lost.This chapter is about Zhao Ji's decision to appoint Mo Yunxiao as an envoy, but the ministers strongly opposed it, and there was some debate between the two sides.
