The maid Xiao Tao waited outside for several hours before she heard the movement in the room stop and the people inside called her in.
"Uncle." As soon as the maid Xiao Tao entered, she saw Mu Bochen preparing to walk out the door and called him quickly.
After Mu Bochen put on his general uniform, he strode to the bed and kissed Xia Ji's exposed hair. He said in a gentle tone, "An'an, sleep a little longer. I'll go to the study to handle official business first."
Mu Bochen's parents had passed away a long time ago, and there were only two people in the huge Mu family, Xia Ji and Mu Bochen. Naturally, there was no need to get up early to serve tea.
Upon hearing this, Xia Ji's fluffy head retracted into the quilt and she responded in a daze.
Mu Bochen's indifferent face still had a faint smile on his face when he walked out of the room, with a hint of contentment in his expression.
"Mu Shuai, we have a visitor." Adjutant Zhang followed Mu Bochen: "It's Mr. Jiang. I'm afraid the purpose of visiting this time is not simple."
Mu Bochen frowned and turned around and walked towards the hall.
"Mourinho, I hope Mourinho will bear with me for visiting me today." Mr. Jiang bowed his hand to him.
"Mr. Jiang looks very good today." Mu Bochen said with a smile.
"I wonder why a busy man like Mr. Jiang is here today?" Mu Bochen asked straight to the point.
"I have something to trouble Mourinho." Mr. Jiang is a well-known entrepreneur in the country and has a wide network of contacts in the field of foreign trade. I am afraid that his matter will be very difficult.
Mr. Jiang recently had a batch of porcelain and tea that he wanted to transport to Jiangcheng's ferry to be sold to foreign suppliers. However, at this time, warlords in various places were ceding land and becoming kings, and there were many bandits on the road. They had to rely on a famous warlord to escort them. to South China.
But this is a hot potato that many people avoid. Escorting supplies to South China is a very risky business. If you encounter bandits and collect tolls on the road, it will be a headache.
Mu Bochen frowned when he heard this, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.
Mr. Jiang also knew that this matter was very difficult. In order to express his gratitude, he would provide a batch of advanced Western weapons to Mu Bochen's army.
This reward was very sincere and tempting. Mu Bochen thought for a while and decided to personally escort the supplies to the ferry.
The final date with Mr. Jiang is set at the end of this month.

"Miss, this is the diorama that Mourinho ordered for you."
Knowing that girls love beauty, Mu Bochen spent a lot of money to order a diorama for Xia Ji to put on the dressing table. Not only that, there was also a British gramophone and a Swiss music box in the room.
The maid Xiao Tao helped Xia Ji, who was sitting at the dressing table, comb her hair. After hearing this, Xia Ji's lips curved slightly.
"Mou Shuai knows that Miss likes to listen to opera and has booked a place for you in the Liyuan." The position in the Liyuan is difficult to determine, and many dignitaries have to make reservations a month and a half in advance.
After Xia Ji washed up and had a meal, she took a car and saw an acquaintance not long after getting off the car.
"Miss Xia and I are really destined to meet each other here again." Wen Xiangwei saw Xia Ji and walked straight towards her with a smile.
Xia Ji politely greeted her for a few words, and then heard her say: "The play is about to start, let's go in together." After saying that, her hand naturally took Xia Ji's hand.
Xia Ji frowned slightly. Wen Xiangwei was a bit too enthusiastic. She always felt like there was something weird about her.
Soon they came to their respective seats and quietly watched the actors on the stage babbling and singing.
For several days after that, Xia Ji always met Wen Xiangwei when she came to the Liyuan.
On this day, after the Liyuan opera ended, Wen Xiangwei invited Xia Ji to attend the birthday party of the eldest daughter of the Xu family tomorrow.
The eldest lady of the Xu family?Xu Qingyan’s birthday party?
It's quite interesting. Anyone who wants to go out and inquire will know that Xu Qingyan pursued Mu Bochen but was rejected. She also never got along with Xu Qingyan in the girls' school. What is Wen Xiangwei so worried about?
This is to invite her to her love rival's birthday party.
Xia Ji looked at Wen Xiangwei with a hint of meaning in her eyes. She wanted to see what kind of medicine Wen Xiangwei was selling in his gourd. She nodded in agreement.
"Miss, you have been so concerned about Xia Yuan and given gifts to Xia Yu'an these days. Why is her attitude still so cold?" The maid next to Wen Xiangwei sounded dissatisfied when she saw Xia Ji walking away. said.
Wen Xiangwei just smiled gently and did not say anything to stop the maid from complaining about Xia Ji. There was a hint of calculation in his peaceful eyes.
"I guess the chicken soup cooked by Mother Chen will be healed soon. It's time to go to He's Mansion to see Brother He's injury." Wen Xiangwei mentioned that Fu He's calm eyes were filled with a rare hint of pity.

When Xia Ji returned to Mu Mansion, the sky was gradually darkening. She asked the housekeeper and found out that Mu Bochen was in the study, so she walked to the study.
Before she entered the study, she saw twenty or thirty elite soldiers gathered in the yard in front, and Adjutant Zhang was explaining things to them.
Xia Ji frowned, has Wannan been uneasy recently?She stood aside and waited for Adjutant Zhang to finish his instructions, then stepped forward and asked, "Has anything important happened to Adjutant Zhang recently?"
Adjutant Zhang suddenly understood after taking a look at the elite soldiers who had just been dismissed, and said respectfully: "No, madam. At the end of the month, Marshal Mourinho will have to personally escort a batch of cultural relics to the ferry."
Xia Ji nodded to show that she understood, and then walked into the study.
There was only one light on in the study and it was very dim. Mu Bochen closed his eyes and fell asleep, his indifferent expression full of exhaustion.
Mu Bochen opened his eyes and saw Xia Ji walking in front of him. A smile appeared at the corner of his mouth unconsciously, and he stretched out his big hand to hug her waist: "Why is An An here?"
Xia Ji looked down at Mu Bochen's head and rubbed her belly. She raised her hand to gently press his temples and said with a smile: "I haven't seen Mu Shuai today. I was really worried about it, so I wanted to come and see him." Look at Mourinho."
"Did Mourinho miss me today?"
Hearing the sweet words, a loving and gentle smile appeared on the corners of Mu Bochen's lips, melting away the cold aura surrounding his body.
"I want to." She was always on my mind when I was dealing with official duties, and I wanted to stay together all the time.
Mu Bochen's face was close to Xia Ji's body, and he could feel her soft skin through the thin fabric. A light fragrance lingered on the tip of his nose, brushing away his fatigue.
He really wished that time could stop at this moment, so that he could ignore the annoying and cumbersome official duties and just immerse himself in the gentle land.
