He favored his concubine and I cut off my wealth. Everyone in the mansion was in a panic.

Shen Qing did not miss the greed flashing in Mu Ziqian's eyes, his expression was slightly cold, and his voice was also tinged with a bit of coolness, "Third Young Master is very interested in the gifts given to me?"

Sensing Shen Qing's displeasure, Mu Ziqian was a little confused, and then realized that Shen Qing was probably complaining that he didn't prepare a gift for her.

Mu Ziqian had been keeping an eye on the happenings in Tinglan Courtyard. Naturally, he knew that the Yun family, Shen Suyu, and Aunt Qiu's mother and daughter had sent congratulatory gifts one after another. He also knew that yesterday was Shen Qing's birthday, but Mu Ziqian felt that this was inconsistent with the news. It doesn't matter to myself.

All he cares about is Lin Xuefu's birthday.

Lin Xuefu has always wanted a beautiful cat. Mu Ziqian once searched many places in Shengjing, but could not find one that pleased his eyes, so he gave up the matter later.

Now seeing the cat in Shen Qing's arms again, Mu Ziqian suddenly became interested again.

It just so happened that Lin Xuefu's birthday was coming soon. If I could give her one, she would be very happy.

After thinking about this, Mu Ziqian's attitude softened slightly, "Don't think too much, I just want to ask you where you got it because Fu'er also likes cats. I'll see if I can get one." Just come back."

Hearing this, Shen Qing thought for a moment, and after a moment she didn't know what she thought of. She laughed softly: "It was sent from Yuncheng. I heard from my grandfather that this cat is very valuable. It costs a thousand taels of gold at least. The third young master said to Lin My aunt is so affectionate, so it is most appropriate to give her this gift.”

The cat was given by Lu Yan and had nothing to do with Yuncheng. The price was naturally made up by Shen Qing. She was just curious whether Mu Ziqian would spend a fortune for Lin Xuefu.

Sure enough, when he heard the sky-high price of one thousand taels of gold, Mu Ziqian immediately frowned. What kind of cat could be worth one thousand taels of gold?

Mu Ziqian really couldn't think of anyone other than rich and powerful bastards like the Yun family who would buy it.

But seeing the pure whiteness like snow in Shen Qing's arms, Mu Ziqian couldn't help but imagine Lin Xuefu's joy when she received this gift. After thinking about it for a moment, Mu Ziqian had an idea flash in his mind, and then he saw Xiang Shen Qing said, "Let's do this, Shen Qing. You can write a letter to the Yun family and ask them to get one for me."

"Third Young Master, do you have one thousand taels of gold on hand?"

Hearing Shen Qing mention money again, Mu Ziqian was a little unhappy, "Why do you know money when you open your mouth and keep silent? It's so vulgar!"

After scolding Shen Qing, Mu Ziqian said confidently: "I am also the grandson-in-law of the Yun family, but I am just a cat worth a thousand taels of gold. I believe the Yun family will not want my money. You can just write a letter. "

Mu Ziqian thought very clearly that the Yun family was as rich as the country, and he and Shen Qing had such a relationship. Let alone a cat worth one thousand taels of gold, even if it was worth ten thousand taels, as long as he opened his mouth, the Yun family would also Will not refuse.

What's more, he is the next heir to the Yangling Marquis Mansion. The Yun family is too late to be happy to have a relationship with him, so they have the nerve to ask for money.

The reason why Shen Qing was so evasive was that she simply didn't want to see him and Lin Xuefu falling in love.

Hearing that Mu Ziqian clearly didn't have the word "prostitution for free", but there were words with the meaning of "prostitution for free" in every word, everyone in Tinglan Courtyard was shocked by Mu Ziqian's shamelessness.

Shen Qingqing was not too surprised. As Mu Ziqian thought, as long as she wrote to the Yun family, let alone Mu Ziqian wanting a cat, even if the slaves of the Yangling Mansion wanted something, the Yun family would not hesitate to tell them. Find it for her, but the premise is, why would she do such a stupid thing?

It is not uncommon in Shengjing to ask for things from the main wife in order to please the concubines, but it is true that there are not many people who can do what Mu Ziqian does.

What Yang Linghou said was indeed correct. Mu Ziqian usually had a lot of brains, but when it came to Lin Xuefu, he was as if he had lost his mind and had no sense at all.

It was getting late, and Shen Qing felt that it was time for him to go to Qiyun Court, so he looked at the four boys carrying the carriage and said, "Take the Third Young Master back, don't let him be embarrassed here."

Although there was no expression on Shen Qing's face, Mu Ziqian could see a strong sense of disgust in it, and his voice subconsciously raised a few points: "Shen Qing, don't you think I'm coveting the Yun family's one thousand taels?" Gold, right? It’s ridiculous! My Yangling House is one of the four great princes’ houses in Da Chu. Don’t look at me because of your merchant’s unattainable situation. I will choose the Yun Family entirely because it is your family. The ancestral family can establish a relationship with the direct son of the Yangling Marquis Mansion. This is an opportunity that many humble businessmen cannot find even if they hold a lantern. Don't be dissatisfied!"

Hearing Mu Ziqian's undisguised slander of merchants, Shen Qing suddenly smiled and took two steps closer to Mu Ziqian, "The third young master is so noble, but he has to rely on the money earned by humble merchants to live. It sounds like I have wronged the Third Young Master.

In this case, from today onwards, the Third Young Master should stop spending money on food and drink. After all, only the Immortal Wind and Jade Dew can be worthy of the Third Young Master's incomparable nobility. "

Mu Ziqian's face darkened, but then he sneered: "Shen Qing, I'm afraid you have forgotten that you cut off my food, clothing and monthly silver last month. Now I don't need you at all. You Do you think you can continue to threaten me? "

Shen Qing reminded him very kindly, "I've broken off you, but I haven't broken off Aunt Lin yet. Don't think I don't know. You've been eating and drinking in Fuyung Pavilion this month."

Hearing the words "eating and drinking", Mu Ziqian immediately felt a burning shame on his face, and pointed angrily, "You!"

Mu Ziqian, who was severely humiliated by Shen Qing again, finally recognized the reality and ordered the servant to carry him away in despair.

He was afraid that Shen Qing would be serious. He was already penniless and had a hard time eating and drinking. If Shen Qing cut off Lin Xuefu's expenses, he would really have to live in Qi Fu Tang.

How embarrassing.

Looking at Mu Ziqian's gradually receding back, Shen Qing looked at Haitang, "Go to the kitchen and tell the kitchen staff to reduce Fuyun Pavilion's meals by half in the future."

Mu Ziqian came to act crazy early in the morning, how could he not teach him a lesson.

Haitang agreed, and Shen Qing carried the cat towards Qiyun Courtyard.

…

At the same time, in Hualin Lane, east of Shengjing City, the Meng family mansion.

Meng Guanlan knelt on the ground, letting the old man Meng, who was so angry that he was fuming, scold him at will: "Look at you, as the young master of the Meng family, you actually went to the restaurant of the other family to eat and drink. The three restaurants under the name of the Meng family are not enough for you to eat, right?

Go if you want to, and you specially went when they opened. What, are you going to help them boost their sales?

You are really brave to squander 10,000 taels of silver in one night. You are my only legitimate son. Otherwise, I will bury you with silver no matter what I say!"

Although the old man Meng is nearly fifty years old this year, he is still full of energy when scolding people. Meng Guanlan felt a headache when he heard it, but he didn't dare to refute it and had no way to refute it.

What did he say?

Said that he actually went to cover up for Lu Yan last night?

According to the "three no principles" of the Meng family, "don't seek high-ranking officials, don't have secret dealings with high-ranking officials, and don't have friendships with high-ranking officials", he would be beaten with at least 20 boards, which is obviously not worth it.

Compared to getting his butt bruised, it was obviously more cost-effective to be scolded.

Anyway, he was scolded every other day, so this one didn't matter.

Old Master Meng scolded for half an hour before letting Meng Guanlan leave.

In the courtyard, looking in the direction of Jing'an Palace, Meng Guanlan's face was full of regret: the thing he regretted most in his life was to become a life-and-death friend with Lu Yan!

At this moment, the voice of his confidant came from behind: "Sir, Lu Shizi said he would treat you to dinner tonight as a reward, and you can choose the location."
