"Okay, I'm in the palace, don't worry." Pan Lunchi helped him up.
Yao Xingcai happily went to work as a housekeeper in the Gu family.
The sage really sent Yao Xing out because he admired him.
Thinking about the Gu family's new arrival in the capital, they didn't know anyone and were completely in the dark about interacting with the official circles in the capital.
With Yao Xingcai, who has been in the palace and is Pan Lunchi's apprentice, there will be no problem.
All the relationships between various parties in Beijing can be explained clearly to the Gu family.
Not to mention the etiquette.
That's why they sent Yao Xingcai over, but they had no intention of using Yao Xingcai as a spy at all.
Besides, it is not worth sending Yao Xingcai, a small fifth-rank general, to be a spy. It is really a waste of talent.
However, the sage also spoke to Yao Xingcai before he left the palace.
"Go and see what the Gu family's attitude is. If they are happy to accept without any hesitation, then you can stay in the Gu family steadily. From now on, General Gu and Madam Gu will be your masters. If they have even the slightest hesitation and have to agree because I assigned you there, then you can come back on your own. As for the excuse, you can think of it yourself."
"Yes." Yao Xingcai followed the saint's order and went to the Gu family.
This led to the incident when the Gu family first arrived in the capital and met Yao Xingcai.
Gu Shangqing and Li Mumu are in charge of the Gu family's external affairs.
Gu's father and mother knew that they had not received much education and were farmers, so they had never seen the world.
So I never take the lead in making decisions on important matters.
The same is true for the couple Gu Shangyong and Gu Shangwei.
If Gu Shangqing is not here, Li Mumu will be in charge.
If Gu Shangqing were here, they could discuss who would make the decision.
But most of the time, Li Mumu is still the one who makes the decision.
On the day they arrived in the capital and met Yao Xingcai for the first time, both Gu Shangqing and Li Mumu had no hesitation at all about the saint arranging Yao Xingcai to come here.
Therefore, Yao Xingcai stayed in Gu's house with peace of mind and did not reply to the saint.
His current status makes it no longer suitable for him to enter the palace.
If he were to pass a note to a saint, who kind of person is he to dare to pass a note to a saint?
Moreover, the saint also said that if the Gu family had not hesitated at all,
From now on, he is a member of the Gu family and must be loyal to the Gu family.
In this case, if he reports the situation to the Saint again, wouldn't he become the Saint's spy for the Gu family?
So Yao Xing thought about it and did nothing.
And he stayed in the Gu family. The saint naturally knew the Gu family's attitude and was very satisfied. He was also satisfied with Yao Xingcai's choice.
After all, he was once in the palace and was Pan Lunchi's apprentice, so he knew everyone around the third prince.
Before the prince and his two companions arrived, Huang Youde arrived first.
He knocked on the door of the Gu family and revealed his identity.
The doorman hurried over to talk to Huang Youde.
After Huang Youde talked to Li Mumu first, he hurried over and saw that it was really Huang Youde.
Huang Youde couldn't say directly that the Third Prince bought fried chicken for everyone but forgot the saint's portion, so he came here specifically to ask for an extra portion.
I knew that today's fried chicken was very important to the Third Prince, but the Gu family's fried chicken was sold out, so I shamelessly came to their door, hoping to get another portion of fried chicken.
It's not impossible, but there are too many powerful people in the capital.
This one comes asking for more today, and that one comes asking for more tomorrow, so business is not good.
After all, the Gu family has always relied on doing business with ordinary people and gradually established a good reputation among the people.
If people knew about this, they would limit the amount of fried chicken they supply to the public every day.
They were sold out, and the customers who arrived late and queued up hard were unable to buy any. Then someone powerful and influential told them about it, and they sold it to them.
The Gu family's good reputation is gone.
Yao Xingcai took the three princes to the main hall, where Huang Youde was asking Li Mumu to make an exception for the third prince.
When they were almost at the main hall, they heard Huang Youde say, "Madam, the Third Prince is definitely not the kind of person who uses his power to oppress others and seeks privileges in everything."
"If the Third Prince cannot buy it today, he can just queue up tomorrow to buy it." Huang Youde said, "But today is an emergency, so I took the initiative to come and ask Madam for help."
"Your Highness the Third Prince is not aware of this matter?" Li Mumu asked.
"Yes." Huang Youde said, "The Third Prince asked me to buy fried chicken, but when I got there I found that it was sold out. But the fried chicken this time is really important to the Third Prince, so I came here with such a thick face."
"this......"
Li Mumu heard Huang Youde repeatedly say that today's fried chicken is very important to the third prince.
A piece of fried chicken would certainly not be something that the Third Prince would value so much.
The third prince was attracted by the person who gave the fried chicken to.
I heard that the Third Prince has been on good terms with the Crown Prince recently, and the Crown Prince is a generous person, so he wouldn't be angry with the Third Prince over a serving of fried chicken.
The only person who could make the Third Prince so serious and nervous was a saint.
Li Mumu thought for a moment and said, "If that's the case, then I can't help but help."
Huang Youde and his family are grateful to you all.
Li Mumu asked, "Could Eunuch Huang keep today's events secret?"
"We will never let anyone else know that the Gu family has made an exception for the Third Prince." Li Mumu said, "Otherwise, it will be difficult for the Gu family to do business in the future. The reputation among the people will also be lost."
"Yes, yes, yes." Huang Youde said quickly, "I promise not to tell anyone. This time I came here in a low profile and didn't let anyone else know."
"If you are willing to make an exception, it would be really outrageous if I continued to tell everyone about it." Huang Youde said quickly, "Madam, please don't laugh. I am not bragging. In fact, I am also a well-known person."
Li Mumu was really amused by him and said, "Okay, but this matter is serious, please take me to see the Third Prince."
The three princes were listening outside, and the eldest prince laughed and said, "It seems that Madam Gu has guessed who the third prince is going to buy the fried chicken for."
The prince nodded, "No wonder father praised Madam Gu so highly. He made his judgment based on just a few words from Huang Youde."
The eldest prince said, "Being a cautious person, since he guessed that it was to be given to my father, he did not intend to go through Huang Youde, but to go directly to the third prince."
As they were talking, the three of them walked out of the hall.
Before Yao Xingcai could say anything, the prince spoke first, "Madam Gu, I and my three brothers are sorry to bother you by coming to visit us."
Li Mumu looked over when she heard the voice.
She had never met the Crown Prince, the Eldest Prince, and the Third Prince.
The one who spoke was obviously the crown prince. Looking at the other two, the third prince's face was filled with a clear gaze like that of a college student.
Li Mumu made her own judgment.
Huang Youde knelt down hurriedly, "Your Highness, Your Highness, Your Highness, Your Highness, Your Highness, the fried chicken was sold out when I arrived. I took the initiative to come to Madam Gu. Please forgive me, Your Highness."
