Datang: Empress mother-in-law sent Li Er to test me

Zhang Dun categorically refused, and outsiders could help with other matters, but this matter was related to Tudou, and Tudou's importance to Datang was self-evident.

The fewer outsiders who know about this matter, the better!

Hu Guang opened his mouth and wanted to persuade him, but seeing Zhang Dun already squatting on the ground and starting to dig the soil, he had no choice but to roll up his sleeves.

Are you really here?Mu Qingcang stared at the two in a daze, did he really dig things by himself?Isn't this the year of the monkey?

At this time, Zhang Dun dug up the soil bit by bit with a solemn expression, and turned the potatoes out of the ground.

To his disappointment, after digging three acres of land in a row, he didn't find a single potato that satisfied him.

Such a waste of money, Zhang Dun sighed secretly, if he was responsible for planting potatoes, they would already be filled with baskets and baskets by the harvest time.

Despite this, Zhang Dun was still patient, stepped on the soil in the field, and continued to turn the ground.

"Brother Zhang, do you think it's really useful if we do this?"

Hu Guang, who was squatting aside and digging the soil with a wooden stick, looked at him resentfully.

As a shopkeeper of Zuixianlou, he spends a lot of time not making money, but digging the soil. What is the difference between this and someone who has read sage books for ten years and goes to work as a cook!

Um?Suddenly, Hu Guang felt that the touch of the wooden stick in his hand was not right when it was stuck into the soil. He lowered his head and looked at it in astonishment, and then quickly dug up the soil.

When he saw several flat potatoes the size of a child's fist in the soil, Hu Guang couldn't help but shouted:

"Brother Zhang, there is something in this field!"

really have?Zhang Dun was shocked for a moment, stood up abruptly, walked quickly to Hu Guang's side, looked down at the potato in his hand, and showed a smile on his face.

"This is it!"

At this moment, Mu Qingcang, who was resting on the official road, heard the sound and saw the potatoes in Hu Guang's hands, and said in surprise, "I thought I couldn't grow them!"

"Keep digging!" Zhang Dun made a decisive decision, pointing to the dozens of acres of land that had not been dug, and said, "See how much we can get!"

Hu Guang nodded quickly, ran to another field, dug a few times with a wooden stick, and shouted when he saw the potatoes, "Brother Zhang, there are also in this field!"

"Me too!" Zhang Dun looked at the potatoes he dug out with bright eyes, and said loudly without looking back:

"Dig every piece of land and see how many pieces of land can be dug out!"

"I'll help too!" Mu Qingcang rolled up his sleeves and said with a smile.

The three of them bent over and kept digging the soil until dusk.

Hu Guang and Mu Qingcang were sweating profusely, and their backs were soaked in sweat. They slumped on the raised field ridge in a state of collapse, and looked at Zhang Dun who stood beside him as if nothing had happened.

Mu Qingcang said in a weak voice, "Brother Hu, are you tired?"

Hu Guang rolled his eyes, "What do you think?"

Mu Qingcang tremblingly said: "But your brother Zhang doesn't seem to feel anything."

Hu Guang sighed and said, "What do you compare with him, he is not human."

Zhang Dun, who was doing statistics, raised his head and said angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

"I'm not wrong." Hu Guang pouted.

Mu Qingcang asked curiously: "Brother Zhang, what's the deal?"

Zhang Dun pondered: "After all, there are ten acres of land."

As for how many catties of potatoes can be produced per mu, Zhang Dun has not calculated it. After all, it is too much work to calculate the yield per mu.

The main purpose of digging up the soil this time is to see how many acres of land can bear potatoes.

As a result, he was very satisfied.

Zhang Dun cupped his hands with a smile on his face and said, "Patriarch Mu, you have done me a great favor, thank you!"

Mu Qingcang sat on the ground, waved his hands weakly, and said, "The one who should thank me is me. Without you, I'm still worrying about how to see a doctor for my daughter."

"Since we're done with our work, let's go back and have a drink?"

"Okay!" Zhang Dun nodded with a smile, suddenly thought of something, and asked, "By the way, Patriarch Mu, have you offended anyone since you returned to Chang'an City?"

Mu Qingcang instantly understood that he was reminding himself of the doubts that arose during the treatment of his daughter.

"impossible."

He shook his head and said, "I'm not the kind of showy person."

Well said, now in Chang'an City, there seem to be few people who don't know your name "Mu Qingcang".

Zhang Dun and Hu Guang looked at each other and communicated with each other.

"To treat my daughter, I met those miraculous doctors. Now that I think about it, someone arranged for it."

Mu Qingcang clenched his fists violently, and said with a gloomy face: "Although I have not offended anyone when I return to Chang'an City, it does not prevent someone from wanting to use my old and young shepherd as a ladder for him to climb up. .”

Hu Guang wondered: "You mean, someone in the court is targeting you?"

"I'm afraid...it's true."

Mu Qingcang hummed, and sighed: "You know, I scolded the Li family before."

Chapter 382 If you want to break the game, you have to find the mastermind behind the scenes

In a word, Hu Guangqian was silenced.

Anyone who dares to scold the emperor, except for Mu Qingcang, who he knows is dead.

It was because of Mu Qingcang's fate that he took advantage of the chaos and ran overseas to save his life.

However, it's hard to say whether he can save another life this time.

The emperor sitting on the throne now has a broad mind, so he may not be punished.

However, with so many ministers in the court and so many officials in Chang'an City, it is impossible to identify any official who wants to flatter the Holy Majesty and use him as a ladder.

Let's say that this time Mu Qingcang returned to Chang'an City, looking for a miracle doctor for his daughter.

After spending so much money, I couldn't find a reliable doctor.

No matter how you think about it, it doesn't feel right.

Then there is only one possibility, that is, behind this, someone does not want him to find a miracle doctor and save his daughter.

"The most important thing now is to find out who is behind the scenes."

At this moment, Zhang Dun suddenly said, "You must first understand who is targeting you behind the scenes before you can break the situation."

"I understand this." Mu Qingcang looked serious, and said: "I will investigate tomorrow, within three days, I will definitely be able to find out who is behind it!"

"Since you are confident, let's not talk about it." Hu Guang winked and said, "Let's go to your house for a drink!"

"Okay!" Mu Qingcang nodded readily, spread his palms and said, "Brother Hu, brother Zhang, please!"

Zhang Dun smiled and cupped his hands.

Together with Hu Guang, follow him back to the Mu Mansion.

Sitting in the hall, looking at the huge Mu Mansion, Zhang Dun looked inside and outside the hall while drinking wine.

When he first came here, he thought it was a good place.

Using this house as a gift to meet the old father-in-law and mother-in-law can be regarded as an explanation.

But after seeing Tudou, Zhang Dun found that this house looked so ordinary.

No matter how good the house is, can it compare with potatoes?

Zhang Dun is not willing to exchange the imperial palace!

After drinking for three rounds, Zhang Dun got up to say goodbye, and took another look at Mu Ying before leaving.

After taking the medicine, Muying's face became rosy, and her condition improved obviously.

Mu Qingcang smiled wide-eyed.

"Brother Zhang, Brother Hu, remember to come back tomorrow!"

Reluctantly, Mu Qingcang sent the two to the door, waved his hands and said loudly.

"no problem!"

Zhang Dun smiled and waved, and walked towards Zuixianlou with Hu Guang.

"This Mu Qingcang is a wonderful person."

On the way back, Hu Guang said with emotion: "I don't know why, but I feel kind to him! It may be a facial problem!"

It doesn't have to be the face, it may also be that the two of you are the same way, and you are both business geniuses...

Zhang Dun said silently in his heart.

"Brother Zhang," Hu Guang suddenly looked serious, and said in a low voice, "Who are you saying is playing tricks on Mu Qingcang behind the scenes?"

Zhang Dun pondered for two seconds and said, "It's hard to say."

This man is very secretive.

If he hadn't come today, I'm afraid Mu Qingcang would have thought about breaking his head, but he wouldn't have thought that someone was messing with him behind his back.

Moreover, this person is capable enough to make all the well-known doctors in Chang'an City obey him!

Maybe he is an official in the imperial court.

"You said... Shall we help him?" Hu Guang whispered, "It would be a pity if such a wonderful person died."

Zhang Dun's heart moved, and he said, "If I can help, I will."

Today is just the first time I met Mu Qingcang, Zhang Dun was very curious about what else Mu Qingcang brought back from overseas.

Will it not just bring back zebras and potatoes?

The odds are great!

Now is the Zhenguan Year, and Mu Qingcang went overseas, at least ten years.

This Mu Qingcang is hiding a lot.

The corners of Zhang Dun's mouth curled up slightly. He must have discovered that he was very interested in the things he brought back from overseas.

Coupled with the conversation at the Mu Mansion today, he should have guessed his identity!

Otherwise, how could he give himself all the potatoes he had planted in dozens of acres of land so happily?

His daughter was cured only by rescue?It wasn't enough to make him so happy.

Old fox!

I'm afraid it won't be long before Mu Qingcang will have something to ask of himself!

Zhang Dun shook his head secretly and stopped thinking about Mu Qingcang.

The most important thing right now is to think about visiting the old father-in-law and mother-in-law in a few days.

I don't know if they get along well... Zhang Dun rubbed his chin in thought.

----

"Your Majesty, I have already prepared the house!"

Tai Chi Palace, inside the Ganlu Hall.

Li Er was sitting behind the imperial case reviewing the memorial, while Empress Changsun sat aside and read the books.

Hearing Li Junxian's performance, Li paused for a while, and said in a deep voice, "Got it, you go down first."

"No." Li Junxian clasped his fists in response.

"Second brother, my concubine has someone go to the house tomorrow and arrange it properly."

Empress Changsun said softly, "As for Zhang Dun wanting to meet his father-in-law and mother-in-law, should we follow what we said earlier?"

"That's the only way." Li Er said with some headaches: "You can't just find someone to impersonate, things will always be exposed, and it will be even more difficult to end at that time."

"I've already thought about it, when the time comes, I'll find a reason to prevaricate it, and then I'll talk about it!"

"That's the only way to go." Empress Changsun nodded slightly, and said, "By the way, I heard from people in the palace today that Zhang Dun wants to buy a house in the city."

"He? Buying a house?" Li Er was stunned, "Why did he buy a house? Wouldn't it be good to live in the Zuixian Tower? There are so many young women around him every day."

Hearing Li Er's complaint, Empress Changsun couldn't help but said, "Second brother, Zhang Dun is not that kind of person."
