Chapter 149 Cat, Bird, Ginseng
Chapter 149 Cat, Bird, Ginseng
“Why are people so complicated…”
Huang Mulin looked at the stack of information about the relationship network of officials in the capital with a headache.
In the carriage, Yu Zhenzhou and his wife were explaining to her the connections between various forces in the capital, official positions, and other information. They didn't care that she was still a little kid, and they talked and tested her all at once.
“Where there are people, there will be struggle.”
Yu Zhenzhou leaned against the carriage, with a look of sarcasm on his face that Huang Mulin couldn't understand.
Even though they didn't travel day and night, their driving speed was not slow. In late July, the group arrived in the capital.
The chief steward of the Zhenguo Mansion received Yu Zhenzhou's letter and arranged for the servants in the mansion to tidy up the yard early, and to wash and dry the mats, quilts, etc., so that the whole house was filled with the smell of sunshine.
When the carriage arrived at the gate of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, the chief steward was already waiting.
"Master, Madam, Miss, and all the young masters."
When the chief steward saw the people getting off the car, he hurried forward to salute, along with the two guards.
"No need to be polite." Yu Zhenzhou helped his wife and daughter get out of the car and said to the chief steward, "Prepare hot water for washing first, and then arrange for food."
"Yes."
The group entered and the heavy, solemn door closed.
Soon, almost all officials and wealthy families in the capital knew that Yu Zhenzhou had returned to the capital with his wife and adopted daughter.
Grand Master's Mansion.
Zhao Wenbo got the news from the housekeeper and sat alone in the study for a long time. He only came back to his senses when the sun was about to set and the servants came to ask him if he wanted to have dinner.
Finally, he seemed to have made a decision and his expression became relaxed.
Huang Mulin and others had a nice bath and a big meal. Huang Jinlin's old problem came back and he went to the kitchen to discuss something with the chef right after dinner.
Yu Zhenzhou and others ignored him and asked the steward to take him there, while the others chatted in the hall.
"I will go to court tomorrow to make a report and see what the emperor has planned. I will tell you when I come back."
Yu Zhenzhou took a sip of tea and said to Huang Mulin, "I guess we won't summon you right away. You should learn more etiquette from Nanny Zheng in the mansion these two days. It will come in handy."
Then he turned to the four Huang brothers and said, "You guys should also learn some etiquette in dealing with people, so that if someone comes to you, you can handle it."
"Yes."
The four brothers and sisters agreed obediently.
As for Huang Jinlin, I'll talk to him after he returns to his room.
After running around for more than a month, he could finally sleep peacefully. After Huang Mulin settled Ling Yun and Fentian, he fell asleep.
The cat and the bird seemed to know that she was going on a long journey, and on the day she left Linhai Town, they jumped directly into the carriage as usual, and could not be driven away, so she had to take them with her.
They are very well-behaved and don't make any noise along the way. They either sleep or follow them out of the car to rest or take a walk in the wild. They won't run far away or get lost.
Yu Min and Yu Zheng were very curious and secretly observed for a long time. Yu Min was more lively and wanted to go up and pet them, but the cat and bird were very fast and ran away directly.
This surprised Yu Min and Yu Zheng.
Although Yu Min's kung fu is not as good as Yu Ze's, he can barely be considered a first-rate master. The speed of these two little guys actually made him unable to react.
Later they went to ask Yu Ze, and Yu Ze said that these two were a bit weird. Except for Huang Mulin, basically no one would get close to them. If Huang Mulin asked, others might be able to touch them, otherwise it was almost impossible to touch them.
Of course, Yu Ze never tried his best to chase them and touch them, so the authenticity of this statement is questionable.
Yu Min no longer thought about touching them forcibly.
After Huang Mulin fell asleep, she did not see the deep and secretive looks that Ling Yun and Fentian gave her.
After entering the space, Huang Mulin saw the ginseng doll lying on her laptop computer, twisting left and right out of boredom until it was almost twisted into a knot.
Ever since her last encounter with it, the ginseng no longer avoided her and even followed her around when she was studying, though it was a bit noisy.
When it encounters content that it doesn't understand, it will start the "100,000 Whys" mode, throwing out one question after another, making the person answering look numb.
Huang Mulin felt a little funny and a little sympathetic when he saw that the teachers were losing their minds while teaching.
So, she never let it go to class again and just let it stay in the library hall.
"Mumu~" The ginseng doll was instantly happy when he saw Huang Mulin: "Why did you come just now~ I'm so bored~"
"If you are bored, practice."
But she heard from Mingding that the ginseng doll could practice in the library space.
"No~ I'm so bored. No one is here to keep me company."
"Isn't there someone similar to you?"
"Who?"
"It's destiny!"
“Why am I similar to it?”
"They are not human."
......
"Mumu~You have become bad."
Huang Mulin suppressed his laughter and said, "No way, what I said is clearly the truth."
“The truth hurts so much.”
"you are not human."
......
Can we still have fun?!
The ginseng doll turned away angrily and didn't look at her.
Huang Mulin walked up, poked it, and ignored it.
"Okay, I'll go to class then."
"I also need to go."
The little ginseng doll immediately turned over and sat up, wanting to follow.
"No, you'll cause trouble."
"No~"
"You can."
"I can't~"
"Last time you broke the teacher's medicine bottle, the last time before that you pricked the teacher with the teacher's needle, the last time before that you burned the teacher's acupuncture chart..."
Every time Huang Mulin spoke, the ginseng doll shrank a little.
In the end, the whole ginseng was curled up like a ball, looking very pitiful.
At first, Huang Mulin felt a little disgusted with herself for bullying a child and felt bad about it, but now, she knows that she was just pretending.
I ignored it and turned to study in the small space.
The ginseng doll sighed in boredom: "Master~ You haven't played enough~"
The next second after he finished speaking, with a "bang", the ginseng doll was thrown away by an invisible force and hit the pillar.
After being dizzy for a while, the ginseng doll stood up and ran away: "It's fate! I'm going to kill you!"
In a place that Huang Mulin couldn't see, a strange phenomenon appeared in the space and then quickly disappeared.
The defeated ginseng doll was lying on the sofa, looking like it had lost three of its seven souls, if you ignored its mouth that kept uttering curses.
Huang Mulin didn't know all this.
The next day, Yu Zhenzhou went to court.
"Your Majesty, I am going to Linhai Town this time to bring the Lady of Qiling County back to the capital. I wonder when is the best time to see you?"
As soon as the court meeting began, Yu Zhenzhou asked directly.
The official who was about to report the matter suddenly shut up.
"Wait a few days, and the meritorious officers and soldiers of the Northwest Garrison will arrive in the capital. I will hold a banquet for you to see the elegance of the adopted daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo."
"Yes."
Yu Zhenzhou also reported that the county magistrate of Qiling County would not be replaced, only the tax collector would be replaced. He also stated that the salary of the county magistrate would be borne by the county lady Huang Mulin.
This operation is equivalent to modern dispatched workers.
