Chapter 1119: Become famous instantly and take advantage
For a capital city where there are so many powerful and wealthy families, a hundred invitations are obviously not enough. But the Prince's Mansion only sent out so many invitations, and those who didn't get the invitations could only sit at home and murmur a few regrets. However, the Mo family got two invitations at the same time, one for Mo Qingze and one for Mo Yan alone. of.
If those who didn't get the invitation knew about it, they would definitely shout "waste" and would like to grab one and use it for themselves. However, it didn't take long for someone to find out about the two invitations from the Mo family. Someone approached Mo Qingze and expressed his wish to "join a group" in a tactful way, but Mo Qingze "tactfully" rejected them.
On this day, Mo Yan came to the Number One Scholar's Mansion with congratulatory gifts, and went to the Prince's Mansion with his parents and sisters to congratulate him.
Cui Qingrou also prepared another congratulatory gift. The two congratulatory gifts together are quite significant. Even if they are not as good as other congratulations, it is not considered rude.
The family of five rode in a carriage and arrived at the Prince's Mansion carrying gifts from another carriage. The invitations were handed in and checked by people from the Prince's Mansion. After they were verified to be correct, the Mo family was ushered in by the servants of the Prince's Mansion.
Mo Qingze, who was a man, was taken to the outer courtyard, while Mo Yan, mother and daughter, were taken to the inner courtyard, where they were entertained by the capable maids and mothers around Crown Princess Liang. It is impossible for ordinary women, county lords, princesses, etc. to have Princess Liang deign to come out and entertain them in person.
"He Jia, why did you come just now? It's time to fight!" Mo Yan and others had just entered a spacious palace when a clear voice came over.
Mo Yan took a closer look and saw Princess Chang'an, dressed in red, standing up from her chair and walking towards her, as flamboyant as ever.
"Chang'an, you have wronged me. If I had known you would come so early, I would have been waiting in front of the Prince's Mansion at midnight." Mo Yan walked up to him quickly, with a natural smile on his face.
“Hmph, it’s my princess’ fault that I didn’t inform you earlier?” Princess Chang’an raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at Mo Yan with a half-smile.
"This is your own admission, it has nothing to do with me." Mo Yan looked innocent and just followed the Princess Chang'an's words.
"Hmph, cunning!" Princess Chang'an rolled her eyes. She wanted to take out the soft whip from her waist and give this guy who dared to talk back to her a whip, but looking at Mo Yan's naked body and white powder, she seemed to be able to pinch water. She couldn't bear to part with her skin.
So he stretched out his paw and pinched Mo Yan's white and tender face, drawing out a few streaks of blood before he stopped with satisfaction.
Hmm, it feels better than before. It’s so smooth and tender. Is this thing made of water?
Mo Yan glared at Princess Chang'an with a black streak on her head, looking at her twirling her fingers with an afterthought look on her face, and wanted to reach out and pinch her back.
Ever since the two met, it was rare for them to share each other's tempers. Although Princess Chang'an acted arrogantly and was often complained by the imperial censor and those dandy children who were brutally beaten, she knew how to measure her behavior and would not make trouble unreasonably. She was a smart and thoughtful person.
She couldn't get rid of the sand in her eyes. She dealt with those who didn't like her, just like dealing with little sheep who had no power to resist, which made Mo Yan very envious.
Although she was often played by the censor, even if she played a hundred times, the Empress Dowager and Emperor Hui'an still protected her, making the censor who played her blow his nose and stare, helpless.
Princess Chang'an also appreciated Mo Yan's integrity. She was not as hypocritical as some people, who did one thing in front of others and another behind the scenes. She just looked down upon Mo Yan's careless way of doing things. However, it was not a big problem in the end. within the tolerance range.
The two of them have not met each other often, but they are more familiar with each other than many people who have known each other for several years. There is a lot to talk about when they get together.
At this time, there were already many people in the room. Seeing the two people bickering as if no one else was around, they were all secretly frightened. They stared at Mo Yan inquiringly, wondering if she had grown. With his three heads and six arms, he dared to joke and laugh without any scruples in front of Princess Chang'an who would beat someone up if he disagreed with her.
Princess Chang'an's reputation in the capital was not good. Even though she had a high status and was favored by the most noble men and women in the world, few people had the courage to ask for her hand in marriage.
There are not many people who dare to have this idea, but they just want to use Princess Chang'an to achieve the purpose of climbing up. Someone once came up to Princess Chang'an to express his admiration without fear of death. However, as soon as Chang'an drew out his whip, the person was so frightened that he peed his pants and ran away in a hurry.
How could Princess Chang'an think highly of such a person?
Precisely because Princess Chang'an is too tough and unpopular with men, and women are quite afraid of her, after seeing the scene of Mo Yan getting close to Princess Chang'an, she wondered whether this Princess Hejia was also like Chang'an. The princess is equally powerful, and the two of them get along so happily because they have "like-minded interests".
Mo Yancai didn't care what others thought. She pulled Princess Chang'an to Cui Qingrou and introduced her formally: "Chang'an, this is my mother! Mother, this is Princess Chang'an, she is my friend."
Hearing the words "my friend", Princess Chang'an's heart seemed to be touched by something. She looked at Cui Qingrou, who was looking at her with a gentle face, and her eyes were surprisingly free of the high presence and contempt she had shown in front of other ladies before. She looked like the most ordinary woman, and she called "aunt" obediently.
"Okay, okay, he's a good and sensible boy! This is a gift from my aunt. If the princess doesn't mind, just accept it." Cui Qingrou had a loving look on her face, took off a blood jade bracelet from her wrist, and placed it in Chang'an County In the hands of the Lord.
Cui Qingrou has never met the princess of Chang'an before, but she often hears people talk about the first princess of the royal family, and her impression of the princess is not very good. But seeing is better than hearing, and the word "aunt" instantly overturned her previous superficial understanding and made her get to know Princess Chang'an again.
Princess Chang'an stared blankly at the blood jade bracelet in her hand. As a royal princess, she had received many so-called greeting gifts. There were many objects more valuable than this bracelet, but this was the first time she had it. Happy feeling.
"Mom, I've been thinking about this bracelet for a long time. I didn't expect you to change hands and give it to Chang'an! If I had known this, I would have just pretended not to see her." Mo Yan looked at Princess Chang'an's hand with feigned covetousness. Bracelet, he stretched out his hand eagerly as if ready to **** it.
Princess Chang'an glared at Mo Yan warily, and put the blood jade bracelet on her slender wrist with a flick of her hand. She said with a proud face: "Auntie gave this to me, and it belongs to me. You Don't want to go back."
Mo Yan pretended to be unwilling to look at her, then turned her head away, not wanting to look at Princess Chang'an's smiling face.
Princess Chang'an didn't even look at her. She solemnly bowed to Cui Qingrou as a junior, which was regarded as recognizing her as an elder.
Upon seeing this, Cui Qingrou had a much better impression of Princess Chang'an.
Princess Chang'an was impatient to stay in the house and compete with a group of warblers and swallows, so she pulled Mo Yan out of the house who wanted to say hello to others, and came to a secluded garden with familiar faces.
The two of them sat on wooden chairs with cushions, sipping tea and chatting. As they chatted, they talked about the winery: "I heard that all the wine at this wedding banquet came from your winery. It seems that Your winery will become famous throughout the capital today."
Hearing this, Mo Yan couldn't suppress the smile on her face, but she said humbly: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince gave me face, so that the wine of my winery can be on the market. I just don't know if it will be as popular in the capital as you said." Become famous."
The beer brewed by the winery was kicked out of the unqualified ones, and the rest were all good wines of good quality. However, the fragrance of wine is also afraid of the deep alleys. In this era where advertising can only rely on word of mouth, it is natural to find an opportunity to maximize your reputation.
Mo Yan and Yan Junyu simultaneously aimed at the full moon ceremony of their legitimate grandson, and made a request to Chu Heng for free drinks. Chu Heng knew what the two of them had planned, and after personally tasting the newly brewed fruit wine, he readily agreed. Therefore, all the ministers and their families who came to congratulate today drank wine from the Mojia Winery.
"Hmph, look at your worthless look!" Princess Chang'an looked down upon Mo Yan's look. She snorted in disgust and awkwardly comforted her: "Don't say what you brought is wine, even if it's wine. This is Baishui, as long as you enter the Prince's Mansion, you will be praised by those people as a beautiful wine, so just put your heart in your stomach!"
Mo Yan lowered his head and shrugged his shoulders. She finally knew the reason why this girl took the initiative to pursue Yan Junyu but still failed. She clearly has a heart, but she has a sharp mouth, and even her comforting words are so blunt. For someone who has a bad impression of her, who would understand her true intentions!
Princess Chang'an was so irritated by the laughter that she took out the soft whip from her waist and slapped it on the table. The loud sound startled Mo Yan.
"A gentleman talks but doesn't use his hands. Don't act recklessly!" She knew that this guy wouldn't really hit her with a whip, but looking at the thick black whip, Mo Yan was still a little timid but did not control her mouth: "Let me ask you, have you ever thought about changing something, um, changing your habit of cracking the whip?"
Princess Chang'an glanced at Mo Yan and said confidently: "I don't use whips to beat innocent people, why should I change it?"
Mo Yan Moran, you didn’t hit innocent people with a whip, but you scared countless people! The relationship between these two people is much more harmonious than before, but the days of harmony are always too short-lived. Most of the time, they still get into trouble when they disagree. The empress dowager who wants to marry them is also a little annoyed with them.
"You can't say that. How would you feel if someone was in front of you all day long and made a big deal out of nothing?"
"Showing a big sword in front of me? Who dares!" Princess Chang'an raised her eyebrows, obviously not cutting the right spot: "If you dare to do this, you are either tired of living, or you are challenging me, no matter it is Either way, he can’t even think about leaving completely.”
Mo Yan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, secretly thinking that Yan Junyu was lucky or unlucky to meet such a woman who loved him wholeheartedly but was a fiery person.
"Look, you also know that it makes you unhappy when others play tricks in front of you, but you often whip the whip in front of Young Master Yan, and even hit him. Is Young Master Yan so in need of whipping that you want you to whip him every day? "It's not like shaking M!"
Princess Chang'an was stunned. She seemed to have never thought about this problem. Every time that person makes her unhappy, she likes to fight with him, as if this is the only way to make him face her, even if he is angry or angry, she doesn't care.
Mo Yan knew that this aloof Princess Chang'an, who had always been let down by others, had never thought from her perspective. I'm afraid no love in the world was born from a whip!
Hitting is love, scolding is love, and there must be love first, otherwise, it would be good not to become enemies.
"Then what do you think we should do?" Princess Chang'an came to her senses and asked Mo Yan: "He always makes me angry and always says things I don't like to hear. I want to slap him when I get angry. Can you blame me?"
Mo Yan had a headache when she heard this. Shouldn't she have said this? Teaching a girl with low emotional intelligence how to pursue the person she likes is really not her strong point!
"Well, I can't blame you, I should blame the whip. If it weren't for the existence of the whip, you wouldn't want to use it to beat people, would you?" Mo Yan decisively put all the blame on the little whip, otherwise she I can't guarantee that after telling the truth, I can walk out of here completely.
Seeing Princess Chang'an nodding in agreement, Mo Yan's eyes twitched slightly and continued: "Next time you go to see Young Master Yan, don't bring a whip. If he makes you angry, calm yourself down first. Come down and talk to Young Master Yan calmly. You are so angry now. If Young Master Yan speaks rudely to you again, you can beat him to the ground and no one will say anything to you."
After hearing this, Princess Chang'an asked in disbelief: "Is it that simple?"
Mo Yan's eyes twitched even more fiercely. It's easy not to use a whip. The key is whether you can control your hot temper!
"Well, it doesn't sound difficult, then I'll give it a try." Princess Chang'an didn't hear Mo Yan's heartfelt cry, and decisively adopted Mo Yan's suggestion. For her, it was unbearable to have the whip left her body. It's a big thing, but for the sake of the person you like, why not tolerate it temporarily?
Mo Yan couldn't bear to dampen her enthusiasm, so she simply didn't continue. Let's just leave it like that for now. Maybe if this person puts down the whip, Young Master Yan can see her changes and change his impression of her?
The full moon ceremony of the eldest grandson of the emperor was very grand. Countless people came to congratulate him. Ministers who had not received the invitation did not dare to be careless. They prepared enough gifts and took them to the prince's palace in a large carriage.
At noon, Emperor Hui'an visited the Prince's Mansion in person, hugged the emperor's eldest grandson in his arms, formally named him "Chengyao", and gave him a gold book and a jade pendant representing his status.
All of Emperor Hui'an's actions showed how much he valued the emperor's eldest grandson. The ministers who attended the full moon banquet were a little more cautious about the emperor's eldest grandson.
Some ministers who are good at business are already thinking about whether they have children and grandchildren of the right age at home. One day, they can find a position as a companion to accompany the future crown prince or even the future emperor to grow up, so that the family can take advantage of it and prosper for many years. ten years.
Emperor Hui'an was busy with government affairs, so it was a good time to come to the Prince's Mansion. He stayed there for half an hour before driving back to the palace.
Without the king of a country, other ministers completely relax. After the delicious food and wine were served, the ministers who were about to toast Chu Heng and congratulate him on the birth of his son were stunned because the color and taste of this wine were very different from all the wine they had drunk before. It actually made them forget what they were going to do next.
Chu Heng had expected this situation a long time ago. Not only did he not care about it, he also mentioned the Mo family's winery very naturally and advertised the Mo family's winery in a dignified manner.
How can a fine wine that can be praised by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince be an ordinary wine? This was the unanimous thought of all the ministers who came to congratulate Chu Heng. Some ministers secretly drank while others were congratulating Chu Heng, and they couldn't stop drinking.
The same is true for the women's banquet. Princess Liang was already grateful to Mo Yan, and she really liked these delicious fruit wines, so she was happy to help Mo Yan and praised the wine without leaving any trace at the banquet. Heaven.
After tasting the originally doubtful ladies and ladies, most of them liked the fruit wine, which was either bright and attractive in color or fresh and elegant.
And after learning from Princess Liang that these wines also have beautifying effects, she was even more excited. Who doesn't like the young and beautiful self? If it weren't for the banquet, these people would have surrounded Mo Yan and directly ordered drinks from her.
"My princess just said that your wine is going to be popular. Huh, don't forget to leave a few boxes for me later. I want the best!" The princess of Chang'an drove away the ladies surrounding Mo Yan like a queen. They put their hands on her shoulders and asked for wine.
“No problem, I’ll give you a few boxes of my special collection tomorrow, and I’ll make sure you drink them to your heart’s content.” Mo Yan agreed without saying a word, unable to hide the smile on her face.
Just now, she has received an order for more than a thousand boxes of wine. Not all of these ladies drank the wine themselves, but some people bought it to give away. In this way, it was free advertising for her winery.
Seeing that Mo Yan was doing this, Princess Chang'an nodded with satisfaction and said immediately: "Then you can send more, and you don't have to take the best. I am just giving it away."
Hearing this, Mo Yan rushed towards Princess Chang'an and accidentally hit her elastic chest: "Chang'an, thank you so much! Don't worry, I will give you the best wine, and I won't charge you any money. "
"You are so aggressive, where are you going!" Princess Chang'an pushed Mo Yan away in disgust and threatened fiercely: "Next time you dare to take advantage of me, I will slap you."
Mo Yan was not afraid at all, and even reached out and poked it with interest: "It has good elasticity!"
"You, shut up!" Princess Chang'an never expected that this person would be so shameless. She immediately blushed, pointed at Mo Yan and yelled angrily, but she did not use the whip to use force on her.
Mo Yan made a face, but did not forget to point out: "If you were as gentle to Young Master Yan as you are to me, he would have fallen into your hands long ago!"
