Datang: Picking up a little Si Zi and accidentally admitting his kinship with blood?

Chapter 350 I am...Aki! Mr. Lu is inviting guests to dinner!

Not long after, Du Mingyue came back from shopping for groceries.

Because there was no fresh mutton, Du Mingyue picked some fresh vegetables and came back.

Song Jiang no longer studied his pile of things, but greeted him with a smile: "Sister Mingyue, there is good news!"

"what news?"

Du Mingyue put down her things, wondering what made Song Jiang so happy.

"News from the Imperial Capital Conference!"

"In seven days, the Imperial Capital Conference will be held as scheduled. His Highness the King of Wei just sent someone to inform you, but it hasn't been announced yet!"

Song Jiang's face was filled with joy.

It seems that he can no longer restrain himself and wants to prove his impulse.

"I heard that this conference has also set up a new test, which is to write an article based on the theme. Anyone who can pass the initial screening can participate!"

Song Jiang chuckled and said.

Isn’t this a disguised version of the imperial examination system?

Du Mingyue thought so.

Her background is not bad and she has read books, so she naturally knows what these things mean.

Thinking of the popular books and "potatoes" that suddenly appeared in Chang'an City in the past few days, she suddenly understood a lot.

"It's getting more and more chaotic. The family must be worried..."

"When the young master is away, I always feel uneasy..."

After thinking about it for a moment, Du Mingyue felt a little attached to her.

After dinner, Du Mingyue was alone in the room, staring at the books on the table with her chin clenched.

Those were not the books sold in Chang'an City these days, but the modern books with simplified Chinese and Arabic numerals specially designed for her by Li Fei.

Not long after, there was a knock on the door outside.

"Who?"

Du Mingyue suddenly became vigilant. She had already touched the position of the arrow in her sleeve with one hand. She took a few steps back and asked in a deep voice.

"Sir, it's me...Aki."

Outside the door, Hegan Chengji's face turned red from holding back, and he hesitated for a long time before uttering these two words.

This is the code name given to him by Li Fei. I don't know if it's convenience or something.

It sounds a bit strange anyway.

"Higan Chengji?"

Du Mingyue heard his voice, but to avoid accidents, she still didn't open the door: "It's so late, what do you want?"

The young master is not here, so we must not cause any trouble to the young master!

He Qian Chengji was outside and seemed to hear that Du Mingyue was the only one in the room.

So, he took out a conch-shaped object from his arms and pushed it in under the door.

"Madam, this is what the Young Master ordered before. There is already a recording in it. Please Madam and Young Master listen to it before making a decision."

"Ah...Aki resigned."

Outside the door, Hegan Chengji quietly breathed a sigh of relief, said the last words shamefully, and disappeared into the night.

Just now, he didn't have the slightest emotion, and he didn't want to do anything just because Du Mingyue was alone.

Because, compared to the methods of His Royal Highness and the First Prince...

It’s like the difference between clouds and mud!

……

Let’s talk about Fangshi.

The meat vendor, after being "robbed" of meat by the housekeeper from the Fanyang Lu family, hurriedly cleaned up the stall and ran back home. After returning home, the hawker closed the door tightly and sat on a stool alone, worrying.

"Damn it, that mysterious master promised to sell meat to that woman, so why did he meet Lu's housekeeper?"

"That meat is not serious. It's obvious that the woman doesn't seem to have any background. If something happens, I will have an adult to protect me."

"But now that we have provoked the Fan Yang Lu family, what...what should we do?"

In the afternoon, the vendor met a mysterious man in black robes and threw him a hundred taels of silver.

That’s one hundred taels of silver!

The income from selling meat for almost ten years cannot match this one hundred taels of silver!

Without much thought, the vendor followed the man's request and killed a sheep and took it to the market to sell.

What I didn't expect was that the meat was cut off by Fan Yanglu's housekeeper!

"No, I can't go to that person to report the situation, otherwise I will definitely be sent out as a scapegoat!"

"Those big shots eat people without spitting out their bones. I must leave Chang'an City and hide as far away as possible!"

"As for checking it out from above..."

The hawker, sweating profusely, took out a token from his arms, looked at it with gritted teeth, and threw it on the table.

"Damn thing!"

Then, he took a piece of straw paper and a brush and wrote a few large characters on it crookedly.

After wrapping the token, the vendor hurriedly packed up his things in the house.

While it was still dark, he hurriedly ran out of Chang'an City and didn't know where he went.

And in another place.

Fan Yang Lu's residence in Chang'an City.

Mr. Lu has been looking bad these days. Apart from being depressed, he heard that something happened to the Zheng family in Xingyang.

This was great, His Majesty directly attacked the Zheng family in the court hall. The atmosphere in the entire Chang'an City was completely changed, and there was a scene of singing praises for one's merits.

After learning that the Zheng family members had also been taken into Dali Temple, Mr. Lu felt that his worries seemed to be relieved a little, so he called Mr. Zheng to discuss countermeasures.

"Oh, it's been so unsettling these past few days!"

Looking at the steaming delicious dishes on the table, Mr. Zheng had no appetite at all and sighed.

Zheng Yuancheng and Zheng Yuanjue are his two most beloved sons.

Zheng Yuan was already a young man and had already served as a sinecure in the Imperial College.

Zheng Yuanjue is the son of Mr. Zheng, and he is doing well in the court now.

But I never expected that such a change would happen. The two brothers were all caught at once, and they even brought along a granddaughter who they usually loved very much!

Mr. Lu chuckled and comforted: "Old Zheng, don't think too much. Isn't Lu Kuan also imprisoned in Dali Temple?"

"A few days ago, I asked the police to inquire. As long as they behave themselves, no one will cause trouble."

"Although Li Er is clearly showing off his face, he still has many concerns. We don't have to worry. We'll see what Li Chengqian's countermeasures are first."

Yesterday, they had reached an agreement to help Li Chengqian in his evil plans!

If Li Chengqian can succeed, then the problems in front of him will not be a problem at all, and they will all be solved.

On the other hand, they planned to control the output of paper if Li Chengqian failed, thereby suppressing the court's business of selling books!

"Oh, that's true. There's no point in rushing."

"I hope that Li Er can understand the importance, otherwise the salt road business controlled by me, Zheng, will definitely make him uncomfortable for a while!"

Mr. Zheng said with a relaxed expression on his face.

"Come on, come on, don't be bothered. This is the fresh mutton that the housekeeper bought today. It tastes really good."

Mr. Lu chuckled and gave Mr. Zheng a piece.

Then, he looked at the other children who were accompanying him and said with a smile: "You guys should try it too. This meat is rare. The Turkic variety is really good."

Everyone couldn't wait any longer. After hearing this, they all picked up their chopsticks and enjoyed the taste of the mutton!
