Daming Grocer

I know in my heart that although she is criticized by others, she treats me sincerely.This matter is indeed because she has seen through my heart for keeping promises, and in order to prevent future incidents, she..."

Having said this, Mu Haitang's face turned pale, and she endured it for a while before continuing: "People who follow me say that I am ruthless to the people below. Look at Tang Dao, there is only one finger missing. But this time, also I don’t know why, but I’m just heartbroken.”

"No princess, you treat your slaves and other servants very well. Seventh Master... Sooner or later, Seventh Master will understand the difficulties of the princess..."

"She is also suffering in her heart. I believe that her heart in the Taoist temple was sincere. It's just that things have already happened, so I can only give in first." After Mu Haitang finished speaking, Qing Zhu was about to answer, but felt his shoulders sink, and hurriedly Hugging the fainted person, he let out a cry of surprise, and the guards on duty rushed in, without asking what was going on, he hurriedly sent someone to report to Mu Wangfu.

Qijian took Shen Buli back to the house, explained the child's life experience, and made it clear that the child would be naturalized upon returning from Changnan.Shen's mother was very happy, and the wind and cold these days seemed to have improved a lot.Except that Qing Zhu and a few people who originally belonged to Mu Wang's mansion left, the servants who were bought later in the mansion are still there.Qijian took a sip of hot tea and hooked his hands to the girl in front of him, leaned closer and asked, "Is the mansion peaceful last night?"

The little girl didn't know what she was asking, so she hesitated for a while before saying: "Master, I seem to have heard someone rushing into the mansion at midnight last night, but, it's really too cold, and the servant hasn't gotten up yet..." Qi Jian signaled She didn't have to be afraid, she let her go down after thinking about it for a while.

Shen's mother played with the child for a while before she saw her daughter was in a daze, so she called out: "My son thinks it's too deserted for the New Year's Eve? It's a pity that the Princess has to go back to the palace for the New Year. I miss them both too. .But it’s not a little grandson, it’s very good. I’ll kowtow to your father later, and we’ll be reunited.” Shen’s mother didn’t know what happened between the two, and the princess was also It is said that the prince's mansion is coming, and he must go back.

Qijian let out a little lethargy, but Shu Hongjian appeared out of nowhere at this moment, and before he could speak, Qijian slapped his forehead first, "I forgot to let you go home for the New Year, What a sin." "Don't talk about this afterthought, I'm not the only one who wants to come to the New Year's Eve dinner today. Xue Shi, Lao Dao, and Mrs. Xue have come over quickly! Who else, Shen Yunsong, helped your mother !"

People came and went in the courtyard one after another, and Mother Shen cheerfully stood up to greet them, saying repeatedly that this is really good, really good.Qijian also looked at the people who came in in a daze, and was very emotional for a while, and after recovering, he quickly ordered his servants to go out to buy vegetables again. This New Year's Eve dinner was really delicious.

Liang Daoyuan put Xue Shi's child down, and the two boys who were about the same age immediately played together.

Several people saluted Qijian and the old lady in a dignified manner according to the relationship between master and servant, and then they sat down and started chatting.Liang Daoyuan first praised Xue Shi, and then asked: "Master Qi is going to Changnan, but he still brings this Luban with him?" Just as he finished speaking, the wife of the Xue family, who was teasing the children among the women, answered the call. : "That's not going to happen Qi Ye, I will live a peaceful life with this poor man for a few days. Besides, he doesn't know how to make pottery either."

"Woman, what are you talking about!" Xue Shi reprimanded without confidence, but was shrunk back after being stared at by the lady.Qijian laughed twice when he saw it, scratched the lid of the teacup and thought for a while before he said slowly: "Sister-in-law Xue doesn't want more money to go back to Beijing to buy a house?" In the capital, the current money for houses in the capital is not enough to buy, they have to make money, and they have to continue to make money.With a raised head, yes.

Several people were amused again.Qijian waited for everyone to laugh enough before saying: "Let's go to Changnan, Xue Shi and Hongjian will follow me, Brother Daoyuan will have to work hard for a while, stay here until the middle of next year." Several people were puzzled and wanted to go together , how come there is still one person left.Since Shen Yunsong has expressed his opinion, wouldn't it be fine for him to stay here?

"Do you still remember Chen Shangru?"——Qijian's words made several people fall into deep thought.Chen Shangru and the others have all seen that person who is of the same line as the royal family of Annan's previous dynasty.When mentioning him at this time, everyone knows that Qijian is definitely not just talking casually, but has other deep meanings.

"By the middle of next year at the latest, the matter of the mine will be settled." After Qijian finished speaking, Liang Daoyuan also nodded in understanding: "Master Qi has placed great trust in you, and Mr. Liang will live up to your expectations."

Several people talked until evening, Shu Hongjian had already calculated everyone's dividends half a month ago, and Qijian divided the silver in half on the second day of the calculation.Those sitting here have really understood that following Shen Qiye, the road ahead will definitely be paved with silver, not to mention gold.

After the New Year's Eve dinner was full of people in the house, Xue Shi took his family and said goodbye.Shen Yunsong's mother wanted to stay, so he stayed too.Liang Daoyuan and Shu Hongjian had no family members here, so they also stayed here.Late at night, the laughter in the courtyard stopped.When Delai came back, Qijian asked him to be the chief manager. Now he was leading the servants on a tour, and when he saw that there was still light not far from Qijian's bedroom, he asked the servants to stop.One of the servants gave a strange grunt: "Master drank a lot tonight, why hasn't he rested yet?" De Lai sighed and didn't reply, it was the same last night, he didn't sleep in the middle of the night, just stood in front of the window like that , I don't know what I'm looking at.

three nine times

An order came from Beijing that the marriage between Princess Changning and the captain-in-law Muxin was set on the day of Lantern Festival. At that time, envoys from various countries such as North Korea, Annan, and Sumatra came to pay homage, and the people from Prince Mu's residence were asked to leave on the fifth day of the lunar new year. The Beijing Commonwealth sees this prosperous state event.It was specifically mentioned in the oral order that Princess Huayue's family would also accompany her to Beijing.A family, that is, to be with Yu Fengnian.

Luan wears brocade clothes and flies in clouds, and the sword blade of Xiuchun sees the clamor of blood.Jin Yiwei came again, expressing Princess Changning's determination to let her go to Beijing.At night, the Muwang Mansion is lit by candlelight, brightly.Duke Mu Sheng of the State of Qian has been very worried recently. Judging from the emperor's recent formation of troops, he feels that restoring the rights of the vassal kings who were withdrawn by Emperor Jianwen is a way to delay the troops.In addition, Annan has been a little weird recently. He is in his position and has to be worried.

After discussing the itinerary, he left Mu Ang to talk to Mu Haitang.Nowadays, the most profitable business in the world is grain, salt, cloth, and iron. Shen Qijian has won the sovereignty of the salt mine and is paying tribute to Prince Mu's mansion without orders. The money is used to raise soldiers, and both of them know it well.Whether Shen Qijian can be exchanged for Yu Fengnian, the two brothers are still hesitating.

Now that the three of them talked about the vassal king, Mu Haitang blinked in a little sleepiness, and after thinking for a while, he said slowly: "Haitang also thinks that the emperor's move is just to calm people's hearts temporarily. When the situation stabilizes, these vassal kings will still The power must be handed over. Just now when the third uncle said, "If the prince of the Zhu family still ends up like this, our Mu family can imagine it." Maybe they will let us go. But this is just a guess. If we want to stabilize this guess, we must let the emperor understand that my Mu family is indispensable in the Yunnan and Guizhou area and cannot be shaken. For the emperor to have this idea, there is only one There is one way to go, and that is to fight. To win the war. Let the emperor see the absolute role of the Mu family army in Yunnan and Guizhou. The absolute support for victory is the strength of the army. How to do this, the two uncles understand better than Haitang .And in order to keep the court from being suspicious, it is very important to employ people accurately. Now we should be able to see clearly who's heart is toward whom."

After going around in a circle and talking to Shen Qijian, Mu Ang suddenly laughed: "Second brother, our niece is really worthy of the surname Mu, she belongs to me, so I just protect her with all my heart! Hahaha!" Mu Sheng was serious at first, but seeing The third brother laughed so heartily that he couldn't help being amused, nodded and said: "Qiu'er is so thoughtful, if you are a man, no one in the Mu family can compare. We all know your thoughts, but you can't act rashly now." Home. After what happened last time, it has been proved that there is someone in his court, and that person is amazing. This time when you come to Beijing, you can bear it as long as you can, and you must remember the famous saying that "a little intolerance will lead to chaos and big plans". Waiting for you Fourth Uncle has a firm foothold in the capital, we can move soon after we make a decision."

After hearing this, Mu Haitang could not hide a smile on the corner of his mouth: "The teachings of the two uncles, Haitang will always remember."

Qijian thought over and over again and decided not to return to Chengdu for the time being.It's too sad, it's better not to look at things and think about people's sadness.Starting tomorrow, today I and my mother are reluctant to part with each other, each telling precious words.After noon, I felt my mother's sleepiness, so I got up to say goodbye, and was about to go out, when I heard someone outside the door reporting that Princess Huayue had returned to the mansion.Qijian's heart trembled slightly, he turned around and said, "This is the end."

Before Qijian could decide whether to go to see someone, Mu Haitang had already come over under the pretense of paying New Year's greetings to the old man.She is dressed in the majestic royal dress of Linglan princess, and the mink fur hat decorated with peacock feathers on her head makes her look like a beautiful peacock.This made Qijian feel that the person whom he hadn't seen for the first time in two days seemed like he hadn't seen him for a long time, and he felt very uncomfortable.Mu Haitang said auspicious words to the old lady, and presented some pearls and jade jewelry as a New Year's gift, which made Shen's mother very happy and repeatedly said that she couldn't bear it. ——In those years, how could I ever think about today, and I couldn't help but look at my daughter again, just seeing her daughter staring at the princess in a daze, which made her, a mother, only sigh in her heart, helpless .

Finally, there were only two people left in the room, and Mu Haitang looked at Qijian with a big smile—the man in front of him was wearing a rare dark red brocade robe, and against the festiveness of the New Year, the more he looked at it, the more he felt that a woman could really be compared with Yushu Linfeng.Qijian felt a little nervous when she looked at her, so she had to avoid it a little bit, walked to the window and went back and forth.
