After my voice was eavesdropped, I became the favorite of the imperial court

Si Yuhuan, Lin Zishu and the others came out of the room to wash up and saw the yard filled with books, and surrounded them in surprise.

Xia Yan touched the book gently: "Wow, why are there so many books in the yard?"

Mu Nanjin came out of the room and said, "Look here to see if there is the unique copy you want. If not, I will look for it again."

"The only copy?"

Si Yuhuan picked up a book and flipped through it. The content inside was all about criminal laws.

She turned to the next book, which was about policy theory.

"These are very common books."

"Huh? What kind of painting is this? Why are a man and a woman naked and intertwined together?"

Xia Yan was shy and curious.

Lin Ziwen took a look before leaving and suddenly blushed: "Ah, this is not a book you can read."

She quickly closed the book: "This is an erotic picture."

"Spring, erotic pictures?" Xia Yan was dumbfounded.

"Pornography pictures? Are there erotica pictures in these books?" Mu Nanjin was very curious and opened the book. When he saw that the characters in it were extremely ugly, he immediately lost interest: "Everyone is really ugly, which is boring."

Everyone: "..."

That's not the point, right?

Mu Nanjin returned to the room and took out a stack of books and placed them in front of Si Yuhuan: "You guys take a look at these books again."

These books were brought by her from the emperor, so they shouldn't be too bad.

"A collection of epitaphs from the Ming, Tang and Northern Dynasties?"

Si Yuhuan opened it and read it carefully, and said happily: "The content is actually true."

Xia Yan asked: "Is Sister Si the only one?"

"It is not an only copy, but it is also a very rare book. It is a book that cannot be bought in bookstores. When we put it in a teahouse, it will definitely attract many literary guests to come in and read it."

Mu Nanjin asked Si Yuhuan: "If you are asked to copy the contents, and then take the copied book to a teahouse for others to read, will it still attract literary customers?"

"The literary guest is looking at the content, not the collection, so he doesn't care about that." Si Yuhuan asked, "Does Miss Mu want me to copy?"

Mu Nanjin nodded: "I borrowed these books, and you will have to return them after you have copied them."

"Does the other party agree to let us copy?"

Mu Nanjin affirmed: "I agree."

She stole the book from the emperor, so she couldn't ask him if he agreed, so she could only assume that he agreed.

Si Yuhuan flipped through another book, and then looked at Mu Nanjin with wide eyes in shock: "Miss Mu, this is an only copy. It's an only copy. Can I copy it too?"

"copy."

Mu Nanjin went back to the house to get his official hat, and then came out and said: "I'm going to go on duty. If you need money, go to Uncle Xu. If you encounter something that can't be solved, go to the Captain's Mansion and go to me."

"High value?"

Only then did the girls realize that she was really wearing official uniform, and it was the official uniform of Jin Yiwei.

Si Yuhuan looked at Mu Nanjin with a surprised look on his face: "The girl is a Jin Yiwei."

Mu Nanjin put on his hat and asked, "Don't you already know?"

Si Yuhuan shook his head: "We always thought you were the daughter of someone in the Jinyi Guards."

When she returned to Beijing, Mu Nanjin always wore regular clothes, and when the Jinyi guards called her, they just called her by her first name or Mu Yatou and Mu Girl.

"Stop talking, we're going to be late, and Liu Baihu is gibbering again."

Mu Nanjin hurriedly left the yard.

She didn't notice that the girls in the yard were looking at her with envy.

"It's great that women can also be officials."

"I also want to be an official."

Lin Zishu thought for a while and said: "Two months ago, I heard that there was a female official in the Imperial Guard in Beijing. At that time, everyone was saying that she got her position through unfair means, and I thought so too at the time. But now it seems that it was all misinformation, and with Miss Mu’s ability, it won’t be a problem even if she sits in the position of the governor.”

The others nodded in agreement.

Mu Nanjin was late in the end, but instead of being scolded, he received congratulations from the Jinyi guards.

"Congratulations to Master Mu, congratulations to Master Mu."

"Congratulations for what?"

Mu Nanjin was foggy and sweaty.

Everyone smiled mysteriously but did not tell her the truth.

When they arrived at the left courtyard, Liu Baihu came over with a smile: "Mu Nanjin, are you here? Have you had breakfast? If not, there is a breakfast in my library. Oh, by the way, after the shift, I I invite you to have dinner with Master Kan and the others, but you can’t sneak away early.”

Mu Nanjin looked at Liu Baihu suspiciously.

[I was late, but he didn’t scold me and even said he wanted to treat me to dinner? 】

[What is it about him that he is so enthusiastic about me? 】

[Is there anything else you want me to do? 】

Liu Baihu tapped her forehead: "Why are you looking at me with suspicion? I sincerely invite you to dinner."

"Oh." Mu Nanjin nodded.

"Let's go to the governor's literary academy."

Then, the Jin Yiwei who passed by them began to congratulate them again, but this time it was Liu Baihu.

"Congratulations Liu Baihu, oh, no, we should call you Liu Qianhu."

"Congratulations to Liu Qianhu for his promotion. Remember to give us promotion candies."

"The governor hasn't announced this yet, so don't make any noise." Liu Baihu reprimanded, but he couldn't suppress the smile on his lips.

The Jinyi guards laughed and said, "This is all on the nail board."

Mu Nanjin asked: "Has Liu Baihu been promoted?"

"Thanks to you."

Liu Baihu originally thought that he would stay in the position of 100 households for the rest of his life, but he did not expect that he would skip the 500 households and deputy 1,000 households, and be promoted to the 5th rank, 1,000 households. This is not only because of his achievements in suppressing the bandits, but more importantly because Mu Nanjin's elixir greatly increased his strength.

You must know that in Jinyiwei, it is not only the ability to do things, but also the level of a warrior. He is now an eighth-level warrior and can fully take on the position of Qianhu.

"Congratulations."

Liu Baihu smiled heartily: "Thank you."

They came to the governor's literary academy.

Tongzhi, the governor who was talking to others, saw Mu Nanjin smiling and said, "Our Mu Xiaoqi is here."

Mu Nanjin frowned: "Mu Xiaoqi?"

[What kind of strange nickname is this? It sounds weird. 】

The governor asked Liu Baihu, "Didn't you tell her?"

"No."

Liu Baihu knew that Mu Nanjin didn't like to be promoted, so he would not be stupid enough to bring this matter up in front of her to spoil his own happiness.

"Mu Xiaoqi, congratulations on your promotion." Tongzhi, the governor, smiled and said, "Now you are a seventh-rank Xiaoqi."

"Promotion?"

Mu Nanjin suddenly looked unhappy.

[It is more practical to give me a promotion than to give me money. 】

[I don’t want to be promoted. The bigger the official, the greater the responsibility, and the more things I have to do]

[Depressed, I wanted to be demoted, but why was I promoted? 】

[If I beat the governor directly, they will definitely not promote me again. 】

The governor was ashamed.

It's not like he promoted her to an official position, so why should she beat him?

Liu Baihu whispered in Mu Nanjin's ear: "Actually, it's good to be Xiaoqi. At least the Xu Cheng and Yang Bo you brought back to Beijing have somewhere to go."

The bandits were wiped out, and Xu Cheng and Yang Bo had nowhere to go. They didn't know what to do to support themselves, so they returned to the capital with Mu Nanjin. Now he is arranged to live in Xiaoqinglou, but it is never a permanent place.

Mu Nanjin raised his eyebrows: "How do you say this?"

"The flag bearer can lead ten ninth-grade Jinyi Guards. As long as you take them two into the Jinyi Guards, they will be yours. If you don't want to do anything in the future, just let them do it. They can also live in the Jinyi Guards House. , it can be considered as a place to settle down.”

Mu Nanjin thought about his words: "We can bring ten ninth-grade Jinyi guards..."

[In the future, if I don’t want to be on duty, I can let my people do it. If I don’t want to run errands, I can let my people do it. Whatever I want to eat or do, I can let my people do it. Then I can be lazy. And since he is not a seventh-grade official, he should have a lot of things to do. 】

[Hmm, let’s just say seventh grade. 】

Governor Tongzhi: "..."

He could only say that Liu Baihu should understand Mu Nanjin.

Mu Nanjin asked: "Then how do you get Xu Cheng and the others to join the Jin Yiwei?"

Liu Baihu patted his chest: "When I am officially promoted to Qianhu, it will be a matter of my words."

Qianhu has the right to recruit people, otherwise Tang Jingrui would not have brought Mu Nanjin into Jinyiwei.

It's just that after recruiting people, they have to be reviewed by superiors. First, they need to be approved by the governor, and then they are submitted to the commander for approval, and finally the governor makes the decision.

He dared to say that the governor would never object.

At least she won't object to Mu Nanjin taking Xu Cheng and the others because she can control Xu Cheng and Yang Bo in the palm of her hand.

Mu Nanjin nodded.

Soon, the Jin Yiwei who could be promoted came to the Governor's Academy.

The governor and magistrate then read out the list of promotions and rewards, and then distributed new official uniforms.

The Jinyiwei staff changes a lot, so Feiyu uniforms will be prepared in advance to confirm each other's identities. However, the official uniforms prepared will be relatively large, so you can only go back and ask someone to modify them.

Finally, the governor announced the end.

From this moment on, Liu Baihu truly became Liu Qianhu.

Mu Nanjin also became Mu Xiaoqi.

Everyone was happy for their colleague's promotion and thanked each other.

Tang Jingrui walked up to Mu Nanjin with a complicated look on his face: "Mu Nanjin, congratulations on your promotion."

When she was first recruited, she never imagined that she would be promoted, and with her ability, getting promoted would not be a problem.

"Thank you." Mu Nanjin asked Liu Qianhu, "Liu Bai...oh, no, Liu Qianhu, how much reward did the governor just say I have?"

Liu Qianhu said with a smile: "He said that you have the greatest contribution and will be rewarded with three thousand taels."

In fact, no matter how great the merit is, there is no reward of 3,000 taels. It is just that she is worried that she will miss the bandits' gold and silver treasures again, so the reward amount is increased six times.

Alas, it is not easy to be her superior. You have to always think about how to reward her so as not to take advantage of the treasury.

Mu Nanjin turned back to Tang Jingrui and said, "When I receive the rewards, you can take them back to your aunt and say that I am filial to her."

Tang Jingrui: "..."

She loves money so much but is willing to give all the rewards to Tang Liuzhao. Is it true filial piety or out of guilt?

After being off duty, Tang Jingrui returned to Tang Mansion with three thousand taels.

In front of Mr. Tang and Mrs. Tang, he took out three thousand taels and placed them in front of Tang Liuzhao.

Tang Liuzhao was confused: "This is..."

Tang Jingrui said: "Mu Nanjin has been promoted."

Tang Liuzhao was slightly startled.

"Promoted?" Mrs. Tang couldn't help raising her voice: "She has been promoted again?"

Mr. Tang frowned: "Didn't she just get promoted a few days ago? Why was she promoted again?"

Tang Jingrui said calmly: "She has made a meritorious service."

"Did she perform meritorious service?" Mrs. Tang seemed to have heard a big joke: "What meritorious deeds can a weak woman like her do?"

Tang Jingrui didn't explain much: "In short, she has made meritorious service, and now she is a seventh-rank official."

"Seventh level?" Mr. Tang's eyes widened: "You jumped from the eighth level to the seventh level in one go?"

If he makes meritorious deeds next time, wouldn't he be able to be promoted to the fifth rank to be on par with his son and grandson?

Jiang Zhenru murmured: "She was promoted too quickly."

Mrs. Tang said with a bad face: "Did I make a mistake? How could she have made meritorious service?"

"Grandma." Tang Jingrui called her calmly: "Mu Nanjin's meritorious service is a good thing for us, and he can help the Tang family in the future."

Mrs. Tang and Mr. Tang felt comfortable after hearing this.

"It's not because we don't believe that a little girl can make meritorious deeds that we are so excited." Mr. Tang coughed slightly and changed the subject: "If you don't talk about this, tell me what happened to the three thousand taels?"

"Three thousand taels is a reward given to Mu Nanjin by the court. She asked me to bring it back to my aunt, saying that I was filial to her."

Tang Liuzhao suddenly darkened his face and swept the banknotes to the ground: "I don't want her things."

"How come you kid can't get along with money?" Mrs. Tang glared at her angrily, stood up, picked up the banknote and put it in her arms: "If you don't want it, I'll keep it for you first."

Tang Liuzhao: "..."

At this time, the guard guarding the door walked in: "Second Young Master, there are two guards in royal robes looking for you."

"Tell them to come to my study to find me." Tang Jingrui stood up and said to Mr. Tang and others: "Grandpa, grandmother, mother, aunt, I have to leave before I have official business."

Mr. Tang said: "Business matters are important, go and do it quickly."

Tang Jingrui returned to his study room in the courtyard. Not long after, two Jinyi guards came in. They were the same people who were sent to investigate Mu Nanjin's affairs a few days ago.

Tang Jingrui asked: "Did your trip have any results?"

One of the Jinyi guards said: "You have lived up to your trust, and we really found out something."

Tang Jingrui said quickly: "Tell me quickly, what did you find out?"

"Except for Mu Qinyi and his sister's children, all the Mu family members you asked us to find out died of the epidemic. Later, Mu Qinyi took his sister's daughter to Beijing to find relatives, but unexpectedly died of illness on the way. , and finally a man with a baby girl took them back to his hometown for burial."

Tang Jingrui guessed that the man with the baby girl might be the current Mu Qinyi, and the baby girl was Mu Nanjin: "Do you know the name of this man?"

"His surname is also Mu, and he is said to be a distant relative of Mu Qinyi. After burying Mu Qinyi and the others, he left with his daughter and never came back. We went to investigate Mu Qinyi's distant relatives again. But there is no such person, and the relatives of the Mu family also said that there is no such person. We really can't find any clues, so we have to come back and report to you. "

Tang Jingrui also knew that they had tried their best. He took out a hundred taels of silver notes and put them on the table: "Thank you for your hard work. You can go down."

"yes."

Jin Yiwei took the banknote and left.

Tang Jingrui got up to find Tang Wenzong and told him the results of the investigation.

Tang Wenzong decided to wait until Mu Qinyi came back to ask questions in person.

Thanks for the tip, Tiandong, okay?
