Poisonous Peasant 'Concubine'

"The Master said: Is it not a good idea to learn and learn from time to time? Isn't it a pleasure to have friends coming from afar? Is it a gentleman if people don't know it and are not stunned?"

Ling Jingxuan, who was carrying another jar of wine, heard the sound of reading from the backyard before he walked into the gate of Qingchen Bookstore. He couldn't help but pause as he walked forward, and a smile slowly crept up on his lips. The immature reading sound makes people feel more comfortable. Although he personally disdains those ancient prose, compared with the well-known force-feeding education in Huaguo in the 21st century, he has to add a more word here, basically It’s rote memorization. It’s no wonder that many people study hard for a lifetime and fail to get a good reputation. It’s not necessary to memorize all of them. The most important thing is to apply what you have learned, draw inferences from one instance, and summarize your own insights from books. Therefore, when he is free every day, he will still teach the children some nine-nine multiplication tables, basic ways of dealing with people, etc., the two buns are also smart, and often combine what he taught with what they learned from Chuci to sum up their own His views may be a bit too different for others, but for him, he is happy to see children like this.

"Mr. Chu." Entering the book shop, seeing Chu Ci sitting behind the counter holding a book and not knowing what to think, Ling Jingxuan walked over slowly, put the wine on the counter, recovered his senses and glanced at the wine lightly. The altar, his eyes didn't stay on it for too long, since this month, Ling Jingxuan always let the children bring some jam or novelty food made by himself, he has long been used to it.

"What's the matter?" After so long, when facing Ling Jingxuan, Chu Ci was still as indifferent as ever, and Ling Jingxuan seemed to be used to it, so he sat down on the chair next to him and said slowly: "It's okay, I'll send you the altar I brewed myself Wine, let's see you by the way."

Well, before meeting Zeng Shaoqing, his purpose was indeed so pure, and now it is not necessarily so, although he has not expressed it, in fact, he has always cared about something, and the only thing that can give him the answer is the person in front of him. man.

"Wine? You are capable. You can even make the national wine of the Eastern Kingdom. What else can you not do?"

The word "wine" undoubtedly caught Chu Ci's attention, and his eyes inevitably swept over the weird jar again, and his words were always so blunt.

"I don't know a lot, and I don't know more, Chuci, guess who I saw in Xinyuan Restaurant just now?"

Lying sideways on the counter, Ling Jingxuan at this moment is as eccentric as a child. After speaking, he gave him a funny wink. I don't know why, although he didn't have much contact with it, he liked it very much. Chuci.

Chu Ci shivered exaggeratedly, and coldly threw him a slap in the face, and Zhu Hong's lips squirmed slightly: "Is it related to me?" In other words, if it doesn't matter, please don't open your mouth.

"Does it matter? I heard that he is the owner of Xinyuan Restaurant??"

"Snapped!"

As soon as the words "Dong Jia" came out, the book in Chu Ci's hand fell to the ground with a slap, his cold and handsome face changed color slightly, his phoenix eyes showed naked nervousness, panic and bewilderment, Ling Jingxuan quietly took his reaction into his eyes , hurriedly comforted him: "Don't worry, I didn't say anything about you, I just talked to him about the wine business."

Having known each other for a long time, and he is sincerely teaching the little buns, Ling Jingxuan inevitably became a little curious about him, and wanted to know why he was hiding here alone with his children, and why he was so afraid of everyone in the imperial city However, he also knew that Chu Ci would not tell him, at least until Sheng Rui recovered his memory, he would never reveal his affairs easily.

"Is he all right?"

I don't know how long it took, Chu Ci said these words abruptly, and Ling Jingxuan frowned almost imperceptibly: "You are the son of the No. [-] Marquis and the No. [-] richest businessman in Daqing, do you think he will be okay? ?”

Could it be that these two have some personal affair?But it doesn't make sense, let alone whether he is bringing a nine-year-old child, judging by the child's appearance, he must be related to Yan Shengrui by blood. Besides, Zeng Shaoqing is almost three years old and hasn't married yet, so you can tell at a glance They are the kind of people who don't care about the world's vision and are unrestrained. If they really have something, Chu Ci would have been Mrs. Zeng long ago. Why bother to hide so hard?With Zeng Shaoqing's ability, how could he not be able to keep him?

"Hehe... You are thinking too simply. Whether it is the first prince's mansion or the first rich businessman, it is all a matter of the emperor's words. In the whole world, the only person who dares to say no to the emperor is the one in your family. This wine How much silver did you sell him for an jar?"

Laughing, pale and weak, Chu Ci bent down to pick up the book that fell on the floor, and changed the topic helplessly, as long as he had a good life, he really didn't want to talk about the topic of the imperial city, if possible, he would rather live in coarse linen clothes for the rest of his life , and don't want to go back to that gorgeous cage again.

"100 taels of silver."

Seeing the escape, Ling Jingxuan didn't continue to tear open his scar, but stretched out a finger at him. For him now, 100 taels of silver is considered a sky-high price, right? ?

"It's cheap, he sold it for at least 1000 taels."

A rare smile appeared in the phoenix eyes, and Ling Jingxuan, who was happy just a second ago, darkened his forehead, and his red lips parted slightly in surprise, 1000 taels?He robs people, he is ten times as many as him, how can there be so many rich people in the Qing Dynasty?

"Don't underestimate those meritorious nobles, let alone the royal family. Wine is an excellent beauty product for women, and the most important thing in the royal family is women. With Shaoqing's ability, sell those wines into the royal family. It's a breeze."

As if seeing through his thoughts, Chu Ci said flatly, the luxury of nobles is unimaginable to ordinary people, sometimes their daily expenses are enough to make ordinary people live a lifetime of good food and drink.

"Well, I really underestimated their spending power, but it doesn't matter, I earn enough, Chu Ci, I have something to ask you."

Shaking his head helplessly, Ling Jingxuan got up and flung himself on the counter, his eyes were rarely concealed, staring at him with great interest, Chu Ci raised his eyebrows noncommittally, stretched out his finger to poke his forehead and pushed him away: "I have something to say , don’t look like a hungry wolf, people who don’t know may think you’re interested in me.”

With their relationship, it's okay to joke around, but that's all.

"Speaking like you are a god, my family, Cheng Rui, is much more handsome than you. Well, I heard shopkeeper Zhang said that there are rumors in the capital that Sheng Rui and Zeng Shaoqing are lovers. What's going on?"

This is the matter, if he doesn't figure it out, he will feel wrong all over, although almost the second he saw Zeng Shaoqing, he was sure that they were absolutely impossible to be lovers, but what he was sure of was one thing, but the truth was another. Another thing is that he is narrow-minded and doesn't like other people having scandals with his man.

"Huh? Hehe..."

Chu Ci was stunned for a moment, then covered his mouth and chuckled, isn't he usually the most shrewd person?Why are you so stupid at this time?Sheng Rui and Shaoqing?Don't be kidding, even if everyone in the world dies and only the two of them are left, they can't become lovers. Others don't know, but he almost watched them grow up, doesn't he know?Those two people, one is more arrogant and arrogant than the other, it's strange that they fall in love with each other.

"Answer me when you've laughed enough." Ling Jingxuan's face darkened, and he knew that his question was stupid, but he just cared.

"I can't guarantee anything else. You can rest assured that there will be such rumors in the capital. I'm afraid that the two of them didn't want to get married and let them go out on purpose. It's fine if they have a small relationship. It is normal for people who don’t know the inside story to believe that they grew up wearing a pair of pants.”

Resisting the bursts of desire to laugh, Chu Ci pretended to be serious and said, the smile in the phoenix eyes can't be hidden, how can you see the appearance of a cold and arrogant beauty?

"Really."

Sitting back again, Ling Jingxuan lowered his eyes. People in this era get married relatively early. In order to reproduce children, the royal family or aristocratic family will definitely get married earlier. Sheng Rui and Zeng Shaoqing are both people who are going to be three, and they will use this way to escape. Marriage is also normal, just? ? "Aren't they afraid that the emperor will really give them marriages?"

Men can marry men. Isn't the queen who was abolished by the current emperor five years ago also a man?Maybe one day the fake will become real, and the emperor will really give them a marriage?As Chu Ci said before, whether it is a prince or a lord, it is basically a matter of the emperor's words. If the emperor really grants a marriage, how dare they resist the order?

"It seems that you really don't understand Sheng Rui. If you understand him, you should be asking whether the emperor is afraid of angering him."

Speaking of the royal family, Chu Ci's smile disappeared quietly, and it took a while to continue to say with interested eyes: "The current emperor cannot be regarded as a wise emperor, but he is also a hardworking and mediocre lord. Sheng Rui not only holds a heavy army, but also He is a prince who has the right to inherit the throne. The only thing he doesn't have is the ambition to become emperor. So, how can the emperor provoke him casually? He doesn't want to get married, let alone the emperor, even the queen mother. What's more, the emperor doesn't even want to Let him get married."

The only prince in the Qing Dynasty who holds a heavy army, and is in the army, has a very high reputation in the court and among the people. Once he gets married and gives birth to heirs, even if he himself does not have that ambition, some people will secretly planning?

"Hehe... The emperor is a strange one, but what about his sons? Are you not afraid of Sheng Rui?"

Ling Jingxuan is also shrewd, he knows everything. To be honest, he is very pleased that Sheng Rui has no ambition to become emperor. What is so good about being emperor? If it’s not good, it may leave a bad reputation for thousands of years. It’s not as comfortable as ordinary people. Looking at the 5000-year history of Huaguo, how many emperors live a long life?He doesn't want his Sheng Rui to die from overwork too." What do you think? Sheng Rui is the emperor's youngest brother, ranked ninth, and will be [-] this year, and the emperor is the eldest son, so he is already in his twenties. Now, plus the emperor has been in poor health for the past two years, it's no wonder they're not in a hurry."

Glancing at him lightly, Chu Ci's gaze was on the book, but his gaze was obviously out of focus, and he didn't know why he had to tell Ling Jingxuan so much, perhaps deep down, he had already regarded him as a friend Well, if you don't know anything, in case Cheng Rui regains his memory one day, with his temperament, he will definitely eat all his bones when he goes to the capital. They have long faded away from their minds.

"No wonder?"

It's no wonder that Sheng Rui was injured, perhaps the credit of those princes is indispensable, right?Thinking of this, Ling Jingxuan smiled coldly and bloodthirstyly, he doesn't care about the emperor, he doesn't care about the past, and he doesn't want to care about it. If they provoke him in the future, he doesn't mind new and old hatred together For the liquidation, of course, the premise is that he and Yan Shengrui will go on forever.
