The lord stopped, the reborn daughter must be forced to marry

Chapter 417 The Envoy Visits
It was no wonder that Du Fubao and Su Minlan had such an understanding.

After all, the two have never been short of money since they were young.

And Su Minlan didn't have a housekeeper after marrying into Du's residence, and she didn't know the exact monthly expenses.

Although Du Qichao is a housekeeper in the Du family, Du Qichao is an imperial merchant, so he is not short of money at all.

Not to mention Du Fubao, who grew up in a honey pot, can be said to be so poor that only money is left.

80 taels of silver, let alone a month, ordinary people can live a lifetime.

Even in the capital, 80 taels can last for several months.

Of course it can't be compared with a big family like the Su Mansion.

Du Qichao coughed twice, helplessly watching the mother and daughter discuss where they could save money.

Gu Nuannuan had already emptied her eyes and let them chatter away. At last, Su Minlan raised her head and saw Du Qichao's eyes: "Is there something wrong with this?"

Du Qichao smiled when he heard the words: "No, I think Madam is right."

Gu Nuannuan regained consciousness, looked at Du Qichao's face full of smiles, the corners of his mouth twitched: "Dubber, why are you talking nonsense with your eyes open!"

"You child..." Du Qichao was helpless.

Du Fubao also felt that something was wrong, and pulled Gu Nuannuan's sleeve: "Nuannuan, is it too much?"

"Too much." After popularizing prices for Du Fubao and Su Minlan, the two realized that it was really...

"Then ten taels of silver?" Su Minlan asked tentatively.

"No need." Gu Nuannuan rolled her eyes and said with a smile, "Tomorrow Mother will go to Aunt Yue to borrow money, Du Bo, you also go to someone you know to borrow money, Fu Bao and I will go to Su's house to borrow money."

Du Qichao suddenly realized: "It's so good."

They all need to borrow money to live, and their family has no money.

At ten o'clock in the afternoon, King Xian sent Chen Feng to bring some silver, which was revealed by the second nephew who was the gatekeeper of Prince Xian's mansion.

The next day, the Chen Mansion, Su Mansion, Mu Mansion, and Prince Jing's Mansion all sent money and passed it on in various ways.

Mu Chenning in the palace heard the news, smiled slightly, and said slowly: "The Du family is indeed a loyal minister of our country!"

Xiao Lizi on the side agreed.

On this day, Gu Nuannuan and Du Fubao went to the Princess Mansion. Today, Mu Jiawan is the most honored eldest princess of Mu Chaoguo, and the Princess Mansion was refurbished. When the two entered, they found that it was much more refined.

"Good-looking is good-looking, but there is no one, it's boring." Mu Jiawan lay on the table, tilted her head and looked at Gu Nuannuan and Du Fubao: "Nuannuan, is there a new dim sum in your shop?"

"En." Gu Nuannuan replied while writing something, and then handed the written letter to Chunlian, "Go and get the cinnabar and light powder back, the shop at No. 15 on Jingcheng East Street will be converted into a medical center .”

"When did you buy the shop?" Mu Jiawan asked suspiciously.

Gu Nuannuan smiled softly: "It's Mu Rongyun's. All the shops under him are losing money, so I took over all of them. No. 15, No. 16, No. 17 on East Street belong to him, so I'll let someone get through. Open a clinic."

"By the way, the business at Ruyi Building is also very good. I heard that not only men but also women are accepted there. Shall we go and have a look tonight?"

With excited eyes, Mu Jiawan said with a smile.

"Go first, I still have something to do."

"what?"

"Look at the account book." Gu Nuannuan rubbed the center of her brows. There are more and more shops, and it is impossible for her to become a hands-off shopkeeper. Although Fang Hui and the others have handled many things for her, some people who can't make decisions still have to wait. It depends on her.

For example, many people want to meet the owner behind the century-old restaurant, and many people need to cooperate.

Gu Nuannuan is tired, it's just a place to eat, so she can't eat well, don't think about these messy things.

In the evening, Mu Jiawan and Du Fubao came to the Ruyi Building. Now it has been changed to "Huanyu Building", and it is no longer open at night. It is open day and night, but it is more fun at night.

"I see, there are no women going in." Du Fubao said in a low voice.

Mu Jiawan nodded: "But it has been written that there is no gender restriction, let's go in and have a look."

The two walked in directly. There were no scantily clad women or rude guests. Everyone sat in their own seats, chatting, or talking about things.

The two asked for a box, and after walking in, they leaned against the window and watched the scene outside.

Soon, some women came out to perform, singing, dancing and playing the piano, omnipotent.

If it's just these things, it won't attract anyone. The problem is, there are still people talking and amusing. After about an hour, all the candles are extinguished and replaced with night pearls, and the light is even more dazzling.

Then, a servant came in and knocked on the door and handed masks to Mu Jiawan and Du Fubao.

"Wearing a mask, you don't know anyone, and then you can go up to sing, dance and play the piano." Mu Jiawan said in a low voice, "This is a way to reduce stress."

"Decompression?" Du Fubao was puzzled.

After Mu Jiawan explained briefly, Du Fubao finally understood.

"Look." Du Fubao pointed to the two pieces of clothing on the bed in the room, and said slowly, "I think this should also be prepared for those who go up to perform, because they are afraid of recognizing people through their clothes."

The two of them looked at the clothes, they were very spacious and could be worn by people of any size.

"Chuan Cai is very powerful, and I don't know how he came up with it."

Mu Jiawan nodded with a smile. After all, she is a leader in the management field. Can she not be great?
When Gu Nuannuan came, Du Fubao and the two were ready to leave.

Gu Nuannuan glanced at it casually, and roughly understood what Chuancai meant. It was quite good to change the Ruyi building into a decompression building.

The three of them came to the small street, eating and chatting, very lively.

A horse galloped over, Gu Nuannuan pulled the two of them aside, watching the horse's hooves raise dust, Gu Nuannuan frowned, and said slowly: "I'm afraid there is some news."

"Huh?" Du Fubao looked at Gu Nuannuan in confusion.

"It should be Mu Chenqian. After my people followed Mu Chenqian to Huacheng, they lost it. I thought that Mu Chenqian would come to the capital, and I was not in a hurry. Now it seems that there is another moth. "Gu Nuannuan bought a sesame seed cake and said while gnawing on it.

"Let's go to Xianwangfu."

"Okay." Mu Jiawan and Du Fubao naturally complied, and the three of them quickly came to Xianwang Mansion.

"What did Mu Chenqian do?" Gu Nuannuan asked directly.

Jiang Tiancheng frowned: "He intercepted Donghe Kingdom halfway, and now he has a very good relationship with the envoys of Donghe Kingdom, and we are going to the capital together."

Gu Nuannuan supported her chin with one hand, and said lightly: "Could it be that he wants to join forces with Donghe Kingdom?"

"It's unlikely. If Donghe Kingdom wants to take action against Mu Chaoguo, they won't choose to marry." Gu Nuannuan shook her head.

So, what does Mu Chenqian want to do this time?
Everyone present was puzzled, and in the end they didn't discuss the reason, so they simply put the matter aside.

In a blink of an eye, it was the day when the envoy came to visit.

Early in the morning, Gu Nuannuan and Du Fubao packed up and came to the century-old restaurant, looking out the window, waiting for the princess of Donghe Kingdom to enter the palace.

Not long after, I saw the sedan chair, the breeze blew, lifted the curtain, and saw the people inside.

Wearing the costume of the princess of Donghe Kingdom, with a veil covering her face, her eyes are deep and unwavering.

Du Fubao said suspiciously: "Looking at the half of the face exposed, it looks good."

"But I don't feel very easy to get along with. I don't know if Wei Er can handle it."

Gu Nuannuan took a sip of tea, and said slowly: "Don't worry, Wei'er still has Jiawan by her side, she won't be at a disadvantage."

"Besides, we shall see her in the evening."

"Is Aunt Lan going to the palace too?" Du Fubao frowned, "Aunt Lan is pregnant, so going to the palace might be..."

Gu Nuannuan was helpless: "Originally, the seventh-rank officials didn't have to go, but the emperor personally called the names, and there was no way."

"When the time comes, the two of us will take care of my mother and make sure nothing goes wrong."

After talking, the two returned to the Du Mansion, tidied up, and it was time.

Gu Nuannuan called Xiaobingzi and Chunlian, and asked Chunlian to follow behind Su Minlan.

On the carriage, Du Qichao said slowly: "No matter what, protect yourself first, even if you offend the nobleman, it will be fine."

"There are Mu Qizi, King Xian and King Jing on the left and right, so I can keep you no matter what."

"Of course, don't cause trouble if you can."

Su Minlan looked at Du Qichao's nervous appearance, and said with a smile: "Husband, actually, it's nothing to attend the palace banquet, it's nothing more than eating. Although I'm pregnant, I'm obedient and don't make any noise."

"I asked Su'er to prepare sour plums for me, which can last."

Du Qichao sighed, and held Su Minlan's hand, with some worry in his eyes.

When they got to the gate of the palace, they naturally wanted to get off the carriage and walk over. Yang Wei's mother and mother greeted her. When they saw Gu Nuannuan and others, they immediately saluted, and then went over with a few people.

"The empress is worried about you, so she asked the servants to wait here. The empress reassured the princess and the township lord that nothing happened during the reception today."

Gu Nuannuan looked at Nurse He, thoughtfully: "Then the envoy princess made things difficult for the empress?"

He Momo smiled helplessly: "No wonder the princess said she couldn't hide it from you. Yes, it was indeed embarrassing, but with Princess Gu Lun here, the princess had nothing to say."

Speaking of this, he laughed with his mother: "That princess seems to know a lot about Mu Chaoguo, knowing that my mother was born as a concubine, she is very disdainful."

"What do you think the princess is like?" Du Fubao asked in a low voice.

After thinking about it with Mammy, he said slowly, "It's not someone to provoke."

Gu Nuannuan and the others understood: "Thank you, Mommy."

"It should be."

Soon, he came to the main hall. Du Qichao's status was not high, so he could only sit at the end.

After waiting for Su Minlan to sit down, Du Qichao went to his seat.

In this banquet, seats for men and women are separated.

Gu Nuannuan and Du Fubao also sat down next to Su Minlan, obviously wanting to pass the night.

As the shrill voice sounded, everyone got up one after another.

"The emperor is here! The empress is here! Princess Gu Lun is here!"

"Long live the emperor! Long live the queen! Thousands of years for the queen! Long live the Princess Gu Lun and enjoy Jin'an!"

"Everyone get up." Mu Chenning sat on the main seat, Yang Wei sat beside her, and Mu Jiawan sat below Yang Wei.

Mu Jiawan searched the field, and finally saw Gu Nuannuan who was eating happily in the corner, and she didn't want to sit here for a moment, she wanted to go and play with Nuannuan.

But seeing Yang Wei's nervous appearance, she pursed her lips and sat down.

At some point, Chenfeng came over suddenly and placed the dim sum in his hand on Gu Nuannuan's table: "Greetings to Mrs. Du, Miss Gu, Miss Du, this is the dim sum sent by Master and Master Mu."

Gu Nuannuan tilted her head, took a bite, and her eyes lit up instantly: "The cook of Xianwang's Mansion."

Chen Feng smiled: "Yes." After a pause, he continued, "Miss Gu, our master said that if the princess troubles you, you can call back, it's fine."

Su Minlan frowned: "Did King Xian get any news?"

Chen Feng hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "Yes, we got news that the princess seems to be very interested in Miss Gu, so..."

Du Fubao's heart tightened, and he grabbed Gu Nuannuan's arm: "Nuannuan, how did the princess know you?"

"Then I would like to thank Prince Qian for promoting it for me."

A trace of ignorance flashed across Gu Nuannuan's eyes: "It's okay, if you dare to mess with me, I will beat her mother until she doesn't even know her!"
