The country is the matchmaker!Princess Black Lotus is reborn as a poisonous concubine

By the way, uncle Qin Mingda has developed many capable assistants in Maodian Escort Bureau. They are all descendants of his comrades in arms. They are trustworthy and reliable. Therefore, uncle gradually let go of the business of the Escort Agency and handed it over to his juniors to run it. He will go back to Ningxing County in a month to check it out. That's fine, after all, there are ancestral houses and ancestral tombs that need to be taken care of.

Qin Maodian specially emphasized that there was no need to miss Mu Yun. During the holidays, they would take care of her mother Qin Jiaojiao's tomb carefully, and they would burn paper money for Mu Yun.

In short, everything in the Qin family is fine and prosperous. The whole Qin family is looking forward to the safe birth of Mu Yun's baby, who will be the first generation of their Qin family's great-grandson.

At the end of the letter, there were several rows of beautiful small characters. Mu Yun recognized them at a glance, and they were Liu Baizhi's characters.

Together with Lu Yachun, she said hello to Mu Yun, her sister-in-law, and taught her several pregnancy experiences through chance encounters.

Ask her not to eat too many sweets, otherwise the fetus will be too big to be born. Ask her to lie on her left side when sleeping, as this will not affect the development of the fetus. Ask her to find a thin soft pad to put under her belly when she sleeps, so that she will be more comfortable when her belly gets bigger. The most important thing is that she should not wrong herself. When the fetus is stable, she and her husband can play and have fun. This will be extremely beneficial to the body and mind.

Mu Yun closed the letter with a red face.

What a chance encounter...

Counting the days, her belly should be very big.

Mu Yun jotted down another important matter in her little notebook: She would give birth in March next year, so she remembered to arrange for someone to send a congratulatory gift.

All the letter paper has been taken out, but the envelope is still a little bulging. Mu Yun wondered, could there be something hidden in this envelope?

Mu Yun fell down, and sure enough, a pair of exquisite and small sachets fell down.

There are two sachets, one red and one green, red for men and women. It seems that they are prepared for the children in her belly. Caressing the crooked embroidery on the sachet with her fingertips, Mu Yun felt a warm smile on her face.

No need to guess, her aunt must have embroidered the same embroidery for her.

The sachets are embroidered with chubby dolls of good fortune, the male doll holds a peach, and the female doll holds a gourd. They are all extremely auspicious meanings.

Mu Yun put the sachet in her hand on her belly again: Good children, look, how many relatives are thinking about you.

The wheels were rolling, and the road from Biezhuang to Beicheng Gate was a flat road. This road was very smooth, and Mu Yun didn't feel any bumps at all.

Mu Yun thought that Zhuo Lingchu must have been worried that she could not bear the bumps on the road, so she chose that villa among many private houses.

Father and grandfather, you see, my consort is very considerate.

As soon as they entered the city gate, Mu Yun and Gao Ningxin's eyes lit up.

On the way from Dashuo to Xichang, they walked around the city in order to keep a low profile. They had not smelled the bustling city for a long time, and they felt as if they were entering the city for the first time in their lives. They were dazzled by the shops lined on both sides of the street. The commercial goods and the lingering smoke of fireworks attracted the eyes straight.

Mu Yun was directing the overall situation on the carriage.

Mu Yun: "Xu Feng, go and see what that store sells? There's such a long queue. If it's delicious, buy some."

After a while, Xu Feng came back holding a white sugar cake wrapped in oil paper.

"Zuo Liang, the drink seller in front looks very good. What is that girl holding in her hand? It looks delicious. Go and ask."

Zuo Liang came back soon, "Madam, the red drink is hawthorn drink. In addition, the store also sells perilla drink, rice milk, and sweet cane water. What would you like to drink, Your Highness?"

On the streets of Xijing, being called "Your Highness" and "Crown Princess" by everyone would draw too much attention from others. Mu Yun asked them to call herself "Madam". Such a low-key title would definitely not attract any attention.

Xu Feng quickly interrupted: "Madam, Your Highness cannot drink hawthorn wine!"

Hawthorn is most harmful to pregnant women and can cause premature birth.

Mu Yun glanced at Xu Feng approvingly.

"Then I want to drink hawthorn," Gao Ning looked at Mu Yun proudly, "I can eat hawthorn, but you can't. Just drink your rice milk."

Mu Yun gave Gao Ningxin an angry look, curled her lips, and handed Zuo Liang a large ingot of silver through the car curtain, "Each of you pick a cup of what you like to drink, and give me a cup of rice milk."

Everyone thanked him again and again.

The commerce in Xijing is prosperous. There are 220 stores of goods and wealth in the city, mansions are built on all sides, and rare treasures are accumulated in all directions.

Xijing is dotted with lively markets, with the east and west cities being the most prosperous. The royal palace of Xichang, Xingming Palace, is close to the east of the city. Many nobles and powerful officials are proud to live next to Xingming Palace. Therefore, there are many dignitaries in the east of the city. The products sold in the East Market are more high-end and luxurious, while the West Market is more down-to-earth. .

To put it simply, if you want to browse high-end luxury stores such as silk, jewelry, and ceramics, go to the East Market; if you want to buy daily necessities such as medicinal materials, leather goods, and bambooware, go to the West Market.

Mu Yun opened the car curtains and asked Chu Yi outside the carriage: "What if I want to go to a bookstore?"

Chu Yi scratched his head with a very embarrassed expression, "We Xijing people are not as fond of literature as the young ladies in Shangjing. We eat, drink and have fun all day long. Bookstores cannot be opened in the streets. In the entire Xijing city, except for some officials There are very few bookstores and places where books are sold.”

Unlike Dashuo where literature flourished, Shangjing was the birthplace of Central Plains culture, the essence of traditional culture and the place where cultivation was accomplished. Although the people of Xichang have the same roots as the people of Dashuo, because they are far away from the hinterland of the Central Plains, their overall literary quality is much worse than that of Dashuo. Also, because of Xichang's economic prosperity, people have many kinds of daily entertainment, so entertainment activities such as Huabenzi are not popular in Xichang. It wasn't fashionable at all.

Mu Yun and Gao Ningxin breathed heavily at the same time and looked at each other helplessly.

Is their book career about to end before it even begins?

As smart as the first grade of junior high school, he noticed the moment of silence in the carriage and immediately asked: "Madam, are you planning to start a business in the storybook?"

"I had that idea," Mu Yun was a little discouraged, "I just wanted to keep it simple. I never thought that people in Xijing don't like to read."

"That's not the case," Chu Yiyi said, "It's not that I don't like reading, it's just that I haven't encountered any interesting books. Don't we, Mr. Bai, really like Miss Gao's story books?"

"Young people in Xijing have active temperaments and usually don't want to read any classic history books. However, due to the lack of literature, there has never been an interesting story book like Miss Gao's book on the market. Anyway, my wife has nothing to do now, and the master has many shops. There are both in the West and East markets, Madam, you can open a shop first to test the waters."

"Before leaving, the master told me, what do you want to do, Madam? As long as you don't burn down the street, you can try anything. If Madam wants to open a calligraphy shop, just open it."
