I opened a tea shop in Bianjing

Chapter 93 Entering the Palace

A man standing at the door of the thatched cottage, with his breasts exposed, was looking around with a big cattail fan.This person has a bulging stomach, but his eyes are very sharp like a falcon.

He was fanning, when suddenly his eyes widened, he quickly turned around and waved to his companion in the thatched cottage, and said in a low voice, "Here we come..."

The companions were also disheveled or rested or dozed off, but after hearing the man's yelling, they all began to change their clothes.

Zhang Di came with Mo Yunxiao.The man with the cattail fan hurriedly came up to meet him and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhang Neiguan Wanan. This is the eldest lady of the Mo family, right? I have long admired you."

"Okay, old grandson." Zhang Di said with a serious expression on his face, "This is the order of the official Jinkou, don't make any mistakes, understand?"

The man bowed again and again, and said, "Don't worry, we brothers don't need anything. I've been in the clean army for more than ten years, so I'm sure about this."

After he finished speaking, he gave Mo Yunxiao a meaningful look, then took Zhang Di's hand and walked aside, and said in a low voice: "Mr. We hang out together, I'm afraid my wife won't want to."

"Hmph!" Zhang Di sneered disapprovingly, and said, "Why don't you want to? She is going to see the official's house, not to mention pushing the clean bucket into the palace, even if she is allowed to go into the clean bucket, she is willing to do so. "

The man chuckled and said, "That's why I'm just worrying about it. As long as I have your words, I can rest assured."

Mo Yunxiao watched from the side, and saw that several people in the hut had changed into the same clothes as her own.

The man came over with a smile, and said to Mo Yunxiao: "Miss, we are all vulgar people, and we do low work. Madam, please feel wronged."

He said and made a bow.Mo Yunxiao also hurriedly returned the gift, saying: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter..." In fact, she was very reluctant in her heart.

The man greeted his companions: "Are you all dressed?"

"Okay, okay..." Everyone came out of the hut one after another, saying while fastening their belts.

The man nodded in satisfaction and said, "Then fuck the guy."

Everyone went around to the back of the thatched hut one after another, and rolled out four-wheeled Taiping carts from under the cover of a large pile of straw.It's just that this car is a little bigger, and there are tall and big drums on it.

"Mistress, look." The man led Mo Yunxiao to the front of the car, and said, "This is our clean car, and the bucket on it is the clean barrel. You just need to push the car into the Donghua Gate with us." Go and everything will be fine.”

Mo Yunxiao took a closer look, only to feel a foul smell coming from his nostrils.She hurriedly covered her nose to avoid it, and looked at the man with a disgusted expression.

The man was a little embarrassed, and said, "I've wronged the lady. However, this is the safest way."

"Just be patient for a while, and let go when you enter the palace gate." Zhang Di also said the same.

Mo Yunxiao looked at the crowd and said, "Then I have to find something to plug my nose, otherwise I will die of nausea."

Zhang Di raised his eyebrows and said, "Everyone who is Ye Xianglang is attacked by father and son. There is no reason to dislike him. Wouldn't it be obvious if you blocked your nostrils?"

"Then..." Mo Yunxiao was also anxious, she kept covering her nose with her hands and said, "This smell is too strong, how can I bear it."

"Be patient." Zhang Di turned around and left after speaking.

Looking at his background, Mo Yunxiao was filled with anger and grievance. "This guy must be avenging the public!" She muttered, and then took two deep breaths before coming over to push the car up.

"Okay, let's get on the road!" the man with the cattail fan yelled, and brought this "dung picker team" towards Donghuamen.

Along the way, the wheels of the dung truck made a "squeak and creak" sound.Mo Yunxiao just focused on pushing the cart. There were three people in front of her and five people behind her. She was the most difficult one to be interrogated in the middle.

She felt easy pushing the cart at first, but after a while she felt more and more strenuous.The clean barrel swayed left and right on the car, making a "gurgling" sound, and it might overturn at any time.

Mo Yunxiao secretly groaned, she just felt that it was too difficult for her to enter the palace once, and she had to take this unknown anger on Zhao Ji when she saw him.

Before reaching the gate of Donghua Gate, Mo Yunxiao's two arms were very sore, and beads of sweat were falling from her forehead one by one.

But she also understands that she must not relax at this moment, otherwise all previous efforts will be wasted.

When her strength was about to run out, she suddenly heard the man leading the team yell, "Stop!"

Mo Yunxiao took a quick breath, her arms were completely exhausted.Only then did she realize how fast her heart was beating.

She glanced sideways and saw that the man was talking with a guard guarding the gate.Three other guards came over to check the dung truck.

The guards will board the car with lanterns, lift the lid of the cleaning bucket and take a closer look.Mo Yunxiao was both surprised and admired.I can't bear the stench just by pushing the cart, and they still want to look at it?
After the guard looked at Mo Yunxiao's bucket, she did not forget to smile back at the guard.The guard was unsmiling, turned around and left.

After the inspection, the team leader thanked the guards one by one, and then yelled: "Get on the road!" Then the dung carts started to "squeak and squeak" again.

It's just that Mo Yunxiao's car suddenly stopped moving.She panicked, and tried to push again, but the car only shook slightly, but it still didn't move.

The people behind her were also a little panicked, and they turned their heads to look at her.

Logically speaking, Ye Xianglang pushed the dung cart all the year round, and his two arms had the strength of more than [-] shi, especially the one in a hundred strong man who was doing errands for the palace, he would never be unable to push the cart.

The guards looked at it from a distance, and saw that the car was just shaking and not moving forward, so they had some doubts.The two guards exchanged glances, and one of them came over to check.

The leader of the team rushed over first. "Come on, push hard!" He pushed the car together with Mo Yunxiao.Once there is a forward potential, Mo Yunxiao can control the car.

"Hey, there's a hole in front, and I've fallen into it." The man explained lightly as he walked past the guard.

After entering the Donghua Gate, Mo Yunxiao opened her eyes, and a figure carrying a lantern hurried towards her.

"Mo Yunxiao!" Zhang Di had already arrived in front of her, and said, "What are you still doing, come with me."

Mo Yunxiao was still a little confused, so she was dragged away by Zhang Di, without even having time to thank Ye Xianglang.

A dark side hall, the door is not locked.Zhang Di dragged Mo Yunxiao in, and then carefully closed the palace door.

The entire hall was pitch black, and Mo Yunxiao only saw Zhang Di's figure passing by in a hurry.He lit a candlestick with a torch, and finally got some light.

"There is a set of palace clothes over there, you go and change." Zhang Di pointed to a corner of the hall, and there was indeed a set of clothes on a chair.

Mo Yunxiao looked at this suit and then at Zhang Di, his eyes were full of surprise.

Zhang Di seemed to see her question, so he said, "How do you go to see the official in Jingjun clothes? What's more, the smell is unavoidable..."

Mo Yunxiao sniffed her sleeves, and sure enough, she was faintly smelled of the clean bucket, and couldn't help but vomit.

"Then I'll change clothes, you have to avoid it." Mo Yunxiao said.

Zhang Di gave her a blank look, and said, "I see, it's really long-winded." He turned around without looking at her.

After a while, Mo Yunxiao changed her clothes.This set of clothes was also scented, exuding a faint scent of gardenia, which made her feel refreshed after a sniff.

She came over and pulled Zhang Di's arm and said, "Let's go."

"Where are you going?" Zhang Di asked suspiciously.

"Go to see the official's house." Mo Yunxiao blinked her big bright eyes and said.

"Don't be in a hurry, there will be maids coming later, just follow their orders." Zhang Di said and was about to leave.

Mo Yunxiao hurriedly pulled his sleeve and asked, "Where are you going?"

"Stop talking." Zhang Di said impatiently: "The officials are discussing matters with the chief ministers in the Zichen Palace. I want to go and serve you. Just follow the call."

After Zhang Di finished speaking, he left alone. Mo Yunxiao wanted to ask a few more questions, but seeing that he was leaving in a hurry, he didn't have the nerve to ask.She watched Zhang Di push the door and go out, and when the door closed again, her heart suddenly twitched.She suddenly had the feeling that she had been thrown into the cold palace.

Different from the darkness of this side hall, the Zichen Hall at this time is brightly lit.The exhausted Zhao Ji was still pacing left and right, with Zeng Bu, Xu Jiang, Zhang Dun, and Cai Bian still sitting on both sides.

"The matter of King Jian can be discussed later." Zhao Ji said while pacing, "Today, I would like to hear your views on the canal."

"Canal?" The four of them were a little confused.

Zhao Ji tucked his hands into his wide sleeves and said, "The beggar gang has been coveting the canal for a long time. You don't know about this."

Zeng Bu got up and said, "The officials, the Cao Gang has occupied the canal for a long time, and it has become a trend for generations to conquer. If we rashly give up the canal to the Beggar Gang, I'm afraid it will cause more disputes."

Zhao Ji nodded again and again, before Zhang Di could speak, Zhang Di had already opened the door and entered.He came to Zhao Ji and whispered a few words in Zhao Ji's ear, and Zhao Ji showed a joyful expression.

"Really?" Zhao Ji asked him.

Zhang Di nodded, but did not speak.

Zhao Ji also nodded, and said to the four ministers: "You and I have had a hard time discussing matters. I ordered Zhang Di to prepare mutton soup, and I will send it up."

So he gave Zhang Di a wink, Zhang Di sang a song, and left in a hurry.

"Officials, I think..." Zeng Bu wanted to speak, but Zhao Ji stopped him with a wave of his hand.

"After eating the meat soup, it's not too late to discuss." Zhao Ji sat down leisurely.Zeng Bu had no choice but to sit down.

After a while, the maids slowly came up to the hall with trays.The trays of the two maids walking in front each had two bowls of steaming hot mutton soup, and the tray of No. 3 maid was smaller, with only one bowl.

Followed by several court ladies holding a small coffee table.They set up the coffee table, and the previous maid distributed the meat soup to the four ministers.

The maid holding a bowl of meat soup walked gracefully to Zhao Ji and put down the meat soup slowly.The palace maid gave him a sweet smile, which only made him emotional.

He got carried away and held the maid's hand tightly, but it was as cold as holding a stone.

"Why is it so cold?" Zhao Ji asked with concern.

The maid hurriedly put her hands away, lowered her head with a smile, and said to him: "I will settle this account with you later."

This court lady is none other than Mo Yunxiao.After she finished speaking, she stood beside Zhao Ji.

Zhang Dun stirred the meat soup a few times with a spoon, but felt that the meat was fragrant.But he inadvertently looked up and saw Mo Yunxiao.

He thought he was wrong, so he rubbed his eyes and looked again.Isn't that Mo Yunxiao or who?At this time, she was looking at herself with a smile.

"Ah? This..." Zhang Dun's voice trembled.Cai Bian, who was at the side, saw him lose his composure, and hurriedly reminded him: "Mr. Zhang, you must not lose your dignity before you."

"Look...look..." Zhang Dun pointed at Mo Yunxiao with horror on his face.He couldn't believe his eyes, how this woman sneaked into the palace.

Cai Bian glanced at it and asked, "What's wrong, Mr. Zhang?"

For Mo Yunxiao, Cai Bian only heard his name but never met him, so even if he met him head-on, he would not recognize him, but Zhang Dun did.Not only did he recognize her, but he was also a little jealous of her.

Now, she is standing beside Zhao Ji alive, how can this make him not be scared?
Zhang Dun's gaffe naturally attracted the attention of Zeng Bu and General Xu.Zeng Bu was also shocked when he saw it.

But the two have a tacit understanding.Mo Yunxiao nodded with a smile, signaling him to keep quiet.He frowned and shook his head constantly.Mo Yunxiao just smiled faintly, expressing that she was confident.

"Officials, this..." Zhang Dun finally couldn't bear to expose the matter.

But Zhao Ji asked knowingly: "Why? Doesn't this mutton soup suit Zhang Xiang's taste?"

Zhang Dun was stunned, and could only say, "Never, never."

Zhao Ji said while eating the meat soup: "Recently everyone has worked hard, and a small bowl of mutton soup can only show your heart. After these things are over, I will reward you."

"Officials." Zeng Bu stood up and said, "There is no rush to deal with the canal. Although the leader of the Cao Gang colluded with King Jian, it has nothing to do with the thousands of gang members. It would be unreasonable for the court to take food from others."

"So, how should the beggar gang deal with it?" Zhao Ji asked.

Zeng Bu thought for a while and replied: "The beggar gang is a fugitive from the army, and should be punished according to the laws of the Song Dynasty. However, they have made great contributions to calming the chaos, and they should be exonerated. They can be dealt with as ordinary refugees."

"Private Zeng." Cai Bian said, "I think that the gang of beggars is different from the refugees. The refugees have no leader and are just a mob. But the gang of beggars is different. As long as the head of the group climbs up to call, there will be a crowd of responders. Besides, it is In the capital, if you are not careful, there may be chaos."

Zeng Bu thought for a while, and then said, "How about sharing the benefits of the canal with the Cao Gang and the Beggar Gang?"

"No!" It was Zhang Dun who spoke.

"Oh?" Zeng Bu also turned his gaze to him and asked, "I still need to ask for advice."

Zhang Dun took a big mouthful of meat soup and said, "The Cao Gang will never share profits with others. This is their rule passed down from generation to generation."
