Dressed as the real daughter of the wealthy control group

For several days in a row, the hot topic in Quancheng was the treasure hunt banquet that was about to take place. What, Xie's fleet returned from the sea, bringing back a boatload of fresh seafood, including pearls as big as beans, a boat full of crabs and Big fish weighing dozens of kilograms...

Also, Mr. Xie invited Zen Master Wuchen from Bodhi Mountain to give sermons. Many famous people came and crowded the Xie residence. As for the scandal of Ms. Xie being debt-collected on a moonlit night a week ago, these new things quickly Pressed down.

"The Jiuzhou incident, you just finished singing and I came on stage today. It's something new every day. No one remembers the time when our family Ming Ge slapped Mr. Xie in the face."

Xiao Liao has been coming here every day in the past few days, hoping to catch Feng's merchant ship back to Shengjing. He comes to Ming Ge every day with various snacks and novelty things.

Ming Ge has been craving for the persimmons on the tree every day for the past few days. He hasn't gone out for two days. He either beats the persimmons or covers them, then pinches them to see if they are soft.

"Mingge, you haven't been out for a few days. Let's go to the annex of the Duke of Jin's Mansion today to see the cats." Xiao Liao said excitedly, "By the way, why did you give the cat to Qiu Mubai, the evil star? You go and ask for it back, and I’ll help you raise it.”

Seeing that the persimmons in the earthen pot were getting harder and harder, Ming Ge sighed and sat on the porch, holding his chin and said: "Raising a cat is too expensive. I'm helping you save money. You can save your money and marry me later, Jin." The Duke's family has a big business and doesn't care about this little money."

Xiao Liao was very moved: "Ming Ge, apart from my mother, you are the only person in the world who treats me well."

Ming Ge forced out a fake smile: "Thank you. Let's go and see the cats in the courtyard of Duke Jin's Mansion."

She stood up, patted the dust on her skirt, and decided to take advantage of the fact that Feng Mianzhou was not at home today to find out the truth about the Duke of Jin.

In the past few days, Feng Mianzhou didn't know what kind of medicine she had taken wrong. Not only did he drag her to beat persimmons, but he also used the persimmons to make various delicacies, and then bought her pork elbows with sauce to satisfy her craving. She even forgot to go out to play.

"Let's go, let's go." Xiao Liao nodded repeatedly, and after taking two steps, he said with a smile, "Mingge, do you have a greeting card?"

The threshold for the Duke of Jin's palace is not unusually high. For most people, it would be more difficult to meet Qiu Mubai than to reach the sky. With such an identity, he was beaten out in front of the residence without a greeting card.

Ming Ge was confused: "Want to pay your respects? Uncle Zhao, Uncle Zhao!!"

Butler Zhao hurriedly came over, asked what had happened, and said with a smile: "The old slave sent someone to send the girl there, no need to pay a visit. By the way, Lang Jun said that the jade he gave to the girl before was a token of the Feng family. With this token, you can even go to the palace."

Who in the world doesn't give Feng a bit of thin noodles?

Ming Ge opened his mouth wide, rummaged around in his brocade bag, and took out the jade he had snatched from Feng Mianzhou: "This piece?"

Butler Zhao's smile deepened: "This is Feng's token, please keep it safe."

There is only one piece of this Yujue in the entire Feng family. He was sorting out Lang Jun's clothes before and found that Yujue was missing, and was shocked. Only then did Lang Jun tell him that Yujue had given Ming Ge as a gift.

"This, this, this..." Xiao Liao stared at Yu Jue as if he had seen a ghost. Isn't it true that Ming Ge, such an important token, just stuffed it into the brocade bag?

This is the symbol of the Feng clan!

Ming Ge instantly felt that the jade in his hand was a little hot: "Uncle Zhao, what if I lose it?"

Butler Zhao smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, the girl doesn't need to be mentally burdened. If the jade is lost, the person who found it will be sent to the Feng family."

Who dares to ask for the Feng family’s family token? Tired of living, right?

Ming Ge breathed a sigh of relief, played with the palm-sized little jade, and said with a smile: "That's good, I like this piece of jade very much, the little unicorn on it is very cute."

As she spoke, she buttoned the small Qilin beast carved on the jade device, which made Butler Zhao and Xiao Liao tremble three times in shock.

Fortunately, Mingge only buttoned it a few times and stuffed it into the brocade bag. Then he picked up a few food boxes and set off to the annex of the Duke of Jin's Mansion.

The Jin Duke's Mansion is not far from the Feng Family Courtyard, only two streets away, but the carriage still took half an hour to walk.

When Ming Ge got off the carriage with the food box, the steward from the other courtyard had already greeted him with a smile.

"Is this Miss Yue? Your Majesty is here, please come in if you are not far away." The steward warmly welcomed Ming Ge into the house and said, "I have already ordered someone to inform the Crown Prince and invite the lady to come into the hall for tea. .”

Ming Ge smiled and said, "Thank you very much."

Xiao Liao sighed deeply when he saw that the manager was extremely enthusiastic about Ming Ge and was very perfunctory towards him. It was all because of his past reputation.

Seeing this, Ming Ge said to the steward: "This is Mr. Wu Lang of the Xiao family. He is a very righteous man. Today, I and Wu Lang of the Xiao family are here to pay a visit to the Crown Prince."

The steward instantly became more enthusiastic towards Xiao Liao: "It turns out to be Mr. Xiao, please come into the hall for tea."

Qiu Mubai is not here.

The steward welcomed Ming Ge and Xiao Liao into the hall for tea, then ordered people to prepare tea snacks and fruits, and went to invite Qiu Mubai himself.

"Mingge, actually you don't have to be like this. I have always had a bad reputation, even in Quancheng. When you get to Shengjing, you will find that those good families with girls will not allow me to enter, for fear that I will taint them. The reputation of a noble daughter." Xiao Liao said with a smile, "I have long been used to it over the years."

In fact, he should stay away from Ming Ge to avoid returning to Shengjing. Those people criticized Ming Ge's reputation, but he really liked the feeling of being friends with her.

Ming Ge: "I heard Xiuxiu say that you like Mian Hua Su Liu and those singers and dancers. You are not very clean and self-sufficient. You often fight with the children of aristocratic families over the dancers, and you are the one who gets beaten every time."

Ming Ge smiled and waved his hand and said: "I know, you are an underappreciated bastard and have no power in the family. Why do you keep wandering around in the land of romance and standing up for those singers and dancers? I know you are a righteous person and fight against They are all playboys, but if something good like this happens in the future, you must remember to call me.

I like fighting the most. It's a pity that Feng Mianzhou's management is so powerful that I can't even find a chance to fight. "

The smile on Xiao Liao's face froze, and her throat felt dry and hoarse for some reason. Over the years, he never bothered to explain to others. He felt that this life would probably be like this, rotting in the quagmire, but she knew that she had seen through everything he had. The truth behind the last resort and notoriety.

It turns out that there are still people in this world who know that Xiao Liao, the fifth son of the Xiao family, was once a young man who dreamed of doing justice to the end of the world.

"Ming Ge." Xiao Liao's voice was slightly hoarse, "Do you think I can become a productive person in the future?"

Ming Ge bent his eyes and smiled: "Of course, I am very optimistic about you. If you were in our country, you could become the prime minister or something like that."

A sincere smile bloomed on Xiao Liao's face. At that moment, something seemed to be sprouting from the silent soil, trying to grow into a towering tree.

At that time, they were just chatting casually, not knowing that many years later, the once prodigal Xiao family Wulang stood in the court and became the head of the three princes. He also went to the enemy camp in person, retreated thousands of miles with his unshakable tongue, and protected the enemy. The ten years of peace in the frontier have left a mark in the history books.

These are many years later.

Qiu Mubai came out of the study and heard Ming Ge's words before entering the hall. She couldn't help but raise her eyebrows. She actually liked Xiao Liao? It's really unexpected.

Xiao Liao, the fifth son of the Xiao family, the most inconspicuous and unpromising among the sons of Shengjing, somehow managed to get into Ming Ge's lap, and then got involved with the Feng family. Now even the other courtyard of his Duke of Jin's mansion is... Got in.

"The prince is here."

When Qiu Mubai entered the room, he saw Ming Ge holding a tea cup and taking a sip of tea. His palm-sized face was almost buried in the cup, and his curled eyelashes were fluttering, very well-behaved.

Qiu Mubai stood outside the door, feeling a little dazed for a moment. If it weren't for the age difference, she looked exactly like the person in the painting. It was the fairy in the painting that he had a glimpse of when he was young, but he never saw it again.

He didn't expect that the girl in the painting would appear in front of him now, and she seemed to be younger than him.

"Your Majesty," the steward reminded softly.

Qiu Mubai came back to his senses and entered the hall. He saw Ming Ge raised his eyes and said with a smile: "Your tea is very fragrant. What kind of tea is this?"

"This is this autumn's tribute tea, Wuyi Dahongpao. If you like it, I'll ask the steward to send some to the Feng Family Courtyard." Qiu Mubai said pleasantly, looking at her, his usually stern face couldn't help but reveal a slight smile.

The steward and Xiao Liao were shocked and at a loss.

Is the person in front of me really Qiu Mubai, the eldest son of Jin who fought bloody battles and never smiled?

"Okay. They said you are as cold as a sword without a scabbard, but I think you just lost the scabbard accidentally." Ming Ge rolled his eyes and said in a surprising way.

The steward and Xiao Liao were stunned. No one had ever dared to talk to Qiu Mubai like this.

Xiao Liao coughed desperately. The prince of Jin Kingdom was not a noble and kind-hearted son of a noble family like Feng Mianzhou. He went to the battlefield at the age of sixteen, covered in blood and blood. His achievements in Shengjing were so impressive that even the prince of Zhaohe treated him with courtesy.

Qiu Mubai smiled instead of being angry, and said with a low smile: "Then whose hand do you think is holding my scabbard?"

The prince of Jin Kingdom stood with his head raised, looking at her deeply with his phoenix eyes.

Ming Ge spread his hands and said with a smile: "It's not in my hands after all. I don't like swords. I've always been timid."

Xiao Liao couldn't bear to listen, so she hid her face and sighed. She is still cowardly. She is so brave that she even dares to flirt with Qiu Mubai, the prince of the Duke of Jin. Isn't she afraid that her brothers will turn against each other? Back at Feng's house, was Feng Mianzhou jealous and locked her up?

Qiu Mubai smiled slightly, said nothing, and ordered some exquisite refreshments to be served: "This is a snack only available in Shengjing. You can try it. I have brought the chef of the house. If you have nothing to do today, you can stay. Let’s play in other courtyards and stay in the evening to try Shengjing’s food.”

Ming Ge's eyes lit up and he nodded quickly: "Okay, okay."

Qiu Mubai glanced at the steward.

The steward whispered: "We have already gone to invite the county chief."

As he was talking, he saw Qiu Yuxiu happily running over with her skirt in hand. She ran to the door and stopped suddenly. She adjusted her makeup and came in cautiously. She blessed her body and said, "Brother."

When Qiu Yuxiu saw Ming Ge coming, she walked to her excitedly and pulled her sleeves.

Ming Ge blinked at her, his thoughts wandering a little.

"Let me take you to visit the other courtyard. There is a small warm pool in the courtyard, which is perfect for taking a bath when the weather is cold." Qiu Yuxiu said excitedly in a low voice.

Ming Ge nodded, kicked a piece of pastry, and then followed her to see the warm pools. It turned out that the so-called warm pools were just a few artificially built small pools. The water in the pools was hot, not as hot as the ones on the Blood Moon Cliff in Dayue Kingdom. Looking at the hot springs, seeing Qiu Yuxiu looking so excited, it was obvious that such a pool was very luxurious for the children of Shengjing.

After all, there are no natural hot spring pools in Shengjing, let alone Quancheng. They have to be found in places close to mountains and rivers.

However, the warm pool in the annex of the Duke of Jin's Mansion is very luxurious and made of white jade. It has a unique charm when matched with the flowers and plants in the annex.

Since he had to stay for dinner in the evening, Ming Ge changed into a light skirt and took a bath in the warm pool with Qiu Yuxiu. While taking a bath, Ming Ge ate the fruit brought by the maid.

Qiu Yuxiu's face was red with excitement, and she soaked in the pool and said: "Mingge, you know, sometimes I feel like I'm dreaming. All the way to southern Xinjiang, I slept in the open air, ate roasted chicken and roasted chestnuts, and stayed in a posthouse. , I went to Quancheng to eat tea from Qianjinlou and soak in the soup in the other courtyard. My eldest brother was also much kinder to me. All this was as beautiful as a dream.

I don’t even want to go back to Shengjing. Growing up, you were my best friend. "

Ming Ge lay on the steps of Bai Yuxiu, biting the melon, and asked: "Then do you like the Duke of Jin's Mansion?"

"I like it or I don't like it. It's like I want to get married, but I'm afraid of getting married. But only if I get married and can be useful to the Duke of Jin, can my grandma live a good life in the palace."

"Mingge, actually, actually, I am not the legitimate daughter of the Qiu family." Qiu Yuxiu said with a bit of inferiority and stuttering, "Will you stop playing with me in the future?"

Ming Ge laughed out loud: "Then if one day I go to the Duke of Jin's mansion to collect debts, will you still play with me? Just like you did when you went to Xie's house?"

Qiu Yuxiu was stunned for a few seconds. Debt collection? Does their family also owe Mingge money?

"We can play together secretly."

Ming Ge rolled his eyes and stretched out his little hand: "Then let's high-five and become allies. If I go to the Duke of Jin to collect debts in the future, we can secretly play together in private. If you don't want to play with me anymore, just tell me and leave Sheng." I will give you a small gift before going to Beijing."

"Leave?" Qiu Yuxiu's voice suddenly became louder, and she said angrily, "Why do you talk about leaving every day? Mingge, we are all friends, can you really not stay in Shengjing? You can leave your father My mother received Shengjing.

If you are short of money, Feng Mianzhou will definitely help you, and my eldest brother can also help you.

In fact, I have always hoped that you could marry Shengjing so that we don't have to be separated. Yes, when I married in Shengjing, my eldest brother was quite reliable except for being cold-mouthed. The Prince of Showa was also very good, the worst, the worst. "

Qiu Yuxiu bit her lip and said cruelly: "The worst thing you can do is marry Feng Mianzhou, I can do it."

As long as Ming Ge can stay in Shengjing, she can find another marriage, which is not so prominent, which is also very good.

Ming Ge was stunned. Is it okay to marry Feng Mianzhou? Didn't she always want to marry Feng Mianzhou?

"Then I'll think about it." Ming Ge smiled and gave her a piece of melon, and the two started playing in the warm pool.

The girl's silvery laughter floated over the wall and reached the warm pool next door.

Xiao Liao soaked stiffly in the pool and glanced at Qiu Mubai, who had his eyes closed and was concentrating. He was going crazy inside. So what happened? How could he be soaking in a warm pool in another courtyard with the Duke of Jin?

"I heard from Yuxiu that you met in Nanyang County?" Qiu Mubai opened his eyes. His deep and narrow phoenix eyes were full of the majesty of a superior. Even when he was soaking in the pool wearing a light gown, he soaked everything. A sense of nobility.

Qiu Yuxiu was a boudoir girl, and she only briefly recounted what happened from Nanyang County to Quancheng, but who was Qiu Mubai? Just by listening to the narration, I noticed something strange.

Yue Mingge comes from southern Xinjiang, and her identity is unknown, but she can tell at a glance that the assassin girl in the inn died from the poison of the Flower Spider Lady, and that the Flower Spider Lady appeared on Li Xi. At first glance, she was driven by someone, and Feng Mianzhou would not Poison can't drive poisonous insects, so in the inn, the one who could do all this to help Feng Mianzhou get out of the siege was Ming Ge.

The fairy in the painting who was glimpsed in childhood, the girl who can drive poisonous insects in southern Xinjiang, Ming Ge who went to collect debts from the Xie family as soon as he entered Quancheng, seemed to be shrouded in a thick layer of fog.

"Exactly, we were eating in the inn at that time, and happened to meet Mr. Feng and Ming Ge who came to stay. The two of them seemed to be running for their lives, and they looked like a gray-headed one. Unexpectedly, after washing up, Lady Yue was shocked. Four, the children of the aristocratic families who were traveling with me at that time were all shocked. Unfortunately, famous flowers have owners, so they can only be viewed from a distance and not played with."

Xiao Liao said with a smile, pointing out that no matter what the prince of Jin had planned, in his opinion, it was Feng Mianzhou who met Ming Ge first, and the husband of the Feng family pampered Ming Ge all the way. , he saw it in his eyes.

This Prince Qiu should stay where he can to cool down.

Qiu Mubai raised her thin lips and said lightly: "So you don't know the origin of Ming Ge?"

It is indeed somewhat mysterious, and it seems that only Feng Mianzhou knows about it.

Xiao Liao smiled and said: "Isn't Lady Yue a girl from the countryside in southern Xinjiang? She wanted to see the prosperity of Shengjing, so she came with us."

Seeing that he was pretending to be stupid, Qiu Mubai exposed it mercilessly: "Can an ordinary country girl drive away the poisonous insects in southern Xinjiang? An ordinary girl can go to the Xie family to collect debts, and force the old man of the Xie family to kneel down and kowtow. Are you asking the Xie family to hand over a treasure worth a thousand pieces of gold?"

Afterwards, he sent someone to check and found that the eyes of the two stone lions in front of Xie's gate had been gouged out. The two dark holes were three inches deep, which ordinary people could not do.

If the old man of the Xie family really got rich by taking the treasure map of the elders of the Mingge clan, then her clan's heritage would be too deep.

Xiao Liao smiled coquettishly, feeling that Prince Qiu was really like a sword without a scabbard. He was very sharp in his words and actions, regardless of whether people were alive or dead.

"What do you mean, Ming Ge and my junior brother are in love with each other? Haven't the rumors from outside been clarified?"

When Xiao Liao saw him looking at him coldly with phoenix eyes, he shuddered all over and said with a smile: "I just saw Mr. Feng Lang giving all the tokens of the Feng family's headmaster to Lady Yue. As for the other things, it's better for the prince to ask in person. ask?"

Qiu Mubai curled his lips and sneered, closed his eyes and continued soaking in the pool without saying a word.

Cold sweat dripped from Xiao Liao's forehead, and she secretly cried out. He was too careless to worry about anything, so he had nothing to say for Feng Mianzhou, and he offended Qiu Mubai for nothing. The prince of Jin Kingdom does not seem to be someone who cares about the friendship between his masters and brothers.

What he was most worried about might be about to happen.
