Daming Grocer

I felt a deep warmth that was first bitter and then sweet.Those words are the vows Qijian made to her.

As the scope of the imperial kiln factory case became wider and wider, and more and more people were executed, Mu Haitang felt very anxious from time to time, wishing she could just kneel down in front of Princess Changning and bow her head as a vassal, asking for whatever she wanted.But Qijian's words made her stop again and again, and stood there gritted her teeth.Tolerate.

Spring is here, the climate in Jinling is warm and moist, and the earth is already warming up.It was a fine day on the seventh day of March. Mu Haitang was chatting with Princess Changning at the Princess Mansion. Zhu Yueran was there, Ma Muxin was there, Mu Bin was there, and Shu Hongjian was also there.Talking gossip, Princess Changning suddenly said: "The case of the Imperial Kiln Factory can be regarded as over, and those who are still in prison should come out if they can, Hong Jian, how is that Shen Qijian who you made friends with now? Shu Hongjian was secretly startled, and asked Qijian directly, which move is this going to take?After thinking for a while, I replied: "Princess, she violated the laws of the country and deserved to be punished. The concubine mistakenly handed over this person because she didn't know her well. As for how she is now, the concubine really doesn't know."

"Yiqiu also knows this person, don't you want to say a few words?"—Mu Haitang seemed to expect her to ask this question, and said indifferently: "Princess, don't mention it, Haitang has almost forgotten that there is this person The Royal Kiln Factory case is about to be closed, Lord Xia is presiding over the case, I believe that all the guilty have been brought to justice, and those who implicate the innocent will naturally be punished." These words suddenly made Princess Changning laugh, and I don't know if it's because of a cold spring or in my heart Chilled, hearing this laughter, Mu Haitang couldn't help shivering.

"Yiqiu's words mean that Shen Qijian was wrongly imprisoned, and has not been punished yet? Then, should I personally go to rehabilitate her to show that the laws of the Ming Dynasty are strict?" - Mu Haitang was almost shocked by these words Unable to sit still, it was her fourth uncle who secretly held her down. Then she calmed down and smiled meaninglessly for a while: "Princess, it is a good story in the history books that she can really rehabilitate the innocent. Haitang is quite tired today, about It's spring sleepiness, I hope my aunt will allow me to go back and rest earlier."

Mu Xin sent Mu Haitang to the door, and smiled at the pair of nieces standing with their hands behind their backs: "Fourth Uncle doesn't care for you? Qiu'er, take good care of yourself. The matter of Shen Qijian is coming to an end soon. Fourth Uncle promises you, keep me safe." She is safe and sound." With fourth uncle's words, regardless of whether it was true or not, Mu Haitang was comforted.

With Qijian absent, she was in charge of Chensu Yumu's matters, so she recalled Liang Daoyuan, and together with Shu Hongjian, dealt with the specific matters of the firm.Because Qijian had already sketched out the general layout of the firm before, now they only need to perfect it according to this prototype, but the business is getting bigger and bigger.

On March [-]th, when the moon was full, Qijian was taken out of her cell and taken to a courtyard. Someone threw her a bag of clothes and pushed her into the bathroom: "Wash clean! If you still smell bad when you come out, Be careful with your life!" Fortunately, it was winter when she was imprisoned, and if she didn't take a bath for such a long time in summer, she would be driven crazy by the smell.Princess Changning locked her mainly because of Mu Haitang's attitude, so she was not locked up with other prisoners, which saved her from worrying about going to the toilet.However, this encounter was enough to make her terrified. The imperial power is so terrifying that it can imprison an originally free heart into a slave. As long as you still have the will to live, this day will come sooner or later.

Kneeling in front of Princess Changning, she really felt the fear that this person in front of her could turn her life into clouds and rain, and her own life and death were just a matter of her eyes.

"Shen Qijian, you have been accused of colluding with Peng Shaosan and others to smuggle royal porcelain. An old friend gave you a pot of wine before you left, which is an explanation for your love in this life. If you have something to ask, here it is." Hurry up and say it, and get on the road when you finish!" The speaker was full of air, with a high-ranking habit, Qi Jian guessed that it should be Princess Changning who came, and the person who asked the question was either the imperial guard or the Jin Yiwei.

Kneeling there for a long time, he sighed and said: "To the princess, the grass people thank her for her kindness, and there is nothing to repay her, but to offer her a plan." Without waiting for anyone to ask, he continued: "The princess is now under restraint. In the Yu family, because the son of the Yu family seems to have noble people to help him, if he wants to move the Yu family, if there is no legitimate reason that can kill him with one blow, then it is better not to do so. There is a plan, but the implementation of this plan is quite difficult. For the sake of complexity, if someone else carries it out, I don’t feel at ease, and the key person in the plan is familiar with me, I only hope that I can help the princess escape from Yu’s house, then I will have no worries about my life, and I can go there with peace of mind.”

The other party did not speak for a long time, and finally, Qijian heard a deep female voice from a distance: "Tell me, how can I believe you." Do you think His Majesty will take care of the overall situation or favor selfishness for the conspiracy of the Chen family to murder the royal family?" "You mean, there are still descendants of the Chen family?" "Yes. And it is on the border of Ming Dynasty." After these conversations, the two fell into a trap There was silence.

The news from Prince Mu's Mansion told Qijian that the current emperor is very worried about the Da Yue Kingdom's invasion of the Ming border from time to time. If he can use the descendants of the Chen family to deal with the current Hu family, it will be a good name and save money and time. best policy.Princess Changning has always been loved by the current emperor, so she naturally has her own uniqueness. When facing the interests of the empire and the personal relationship between her children, she can understand which is more important.

"Then you should repay this favor first. If you do well, you will be rewarded according to your merits. If you don't do well, you can go on the road as usual."——Receiving this answer, Qijian was as weak as if his strength had been drained. Drenched in cold sweat.It's just that she was lying on her stomach, so she couldn't see her distress at this time.Finally, he snatched his life back from the princess.

four five times

Mu Xin, the captain-in-law captain, was ordered to secretly supervise the emigration from Jiangnan, Shanxi and even the whole country to Peiping. He said that he would bring Princess Changning back to the original Yanwang Mansion in Beiping. Use a moderate and gentle way to balance the differences between treating her and Princess Changning.On one side is his beloved wife, and on the other side is his niece whom he loves so much. He hopes both parties are well.Of course, he is the one who can balance the undercurrent between these two people and benefit the most.

What Mu Haitang didn't expect was that she had just finished reading fourth uncle's letter, and someone came from the princess mansion, asking her to pack her bags and go north with the princess.He said he didn't expect it, but he could guess a thing or two. It took so much effort to separate her from Qijian, how could he let it go so easily.The morning sun in March was very comfortable, but Mu Haitang was standing in the yard sweating profusely.

"My lord, please report back to the princess. My son's father's memorial day is approaching. She will accompany me to Jiangning Guanyin Mountain to pay homage to her father in a few days. I hope the princess will be considerate." What Mu Li said is also true. Mu Haitang's father's memorial day is indeed true. It won't be long, and this time is not enough to accompany the princess to go north and south.Because of the matter involving the Mu family's first Duke Qian, the princess would not forcibly bring someone along even in Mu Xin's face.After the guards left, Mu Haitang bowed gratefully to her mother and said nothing, she believed that her mother understood what she wanted to say at this moment.

Erxi took the small red sandalwood box, and put out nail clippers, hair clippers, tweezers, tweezers and other objects from it. After the man lay down, he saw Chu Yunshu spread the man's washed hair along the long bamboo mat He was sitting in the sun, and then he sat down and waited: "Master, you have to talk if you have a heavy hand." Qijian hummed, and didn't say anything else, as if he had no strength.This suffering can be described as a long time, the head was covered with head lice, Dr. Chu washed it with insect repellant several times before it was clean, the nails had grown long, and the inside was still full of dirt.These are actually nothing, at least there is no punishment, right? It is a great fortune to avoid the pain of flesh and blood.

When Erxi was cutting her nails, Chu Yunshu trimmed her hair neatly with a hair pick. Erxi sighed, so he asked, "I feel sorry for your master, but don't keep sighing in front of her. Come back, it’s time to celebrate.” “Doctor Chu, I can’t help but feel sorry for my Seventh Master, I think our family lived a good life in Chengdu Mansion back then, when Princess Huayue came…”——The voice just arrived here , Princess Huayue is here.

Qijian is really tired. Now the sun is warming up and he sleeps soundly. He doesn't know that there is another person beside him. When he wakes up, he only feels that his fingers are being pinched comfortably. He snorted softly: "Pass me a cup of tea." After he finished, he opened his eyes and saw that it was Mu Haitang, and his immediate reaction was to pull his hand out, but he didn't succeed.

Maybe he really felt something was wrong, Qijian sat up straight, his hair that was almost dry in the sun was also plucked neatly, and he tied up his hair in a bun, and then saluted Mu Haitang: "Princess, long time no see " Mu Haitang didn't know how to face Qijian at this moment, so she put down her nail clippers and shook her head with a smile: "You should blame me."

As if stunned by something, Qijian stared blankly at Mu Haitang for a long while before regaining his senses: "What are you talking about, you have tried your best, I am not sitting in front of you intact What?" Mu Haitang was startled by that empty gaze just now, and Qijian fell into a daze as if he couldn't remember anything at the moment, because he couldn't remember what they had experienced together?That would be too weird.So he avoided the topic and asked her what she wanted to eat at night. She thought that she would want to eat some delicacies from the prison, but she didn't expect that she had no requirements for it, and just said it was fine.

Three meals a day are on time, take a nap after lunch, go for a walk in the store after dinner, and read books and write books in the study at night, very regular.But Mu Haitang knew that something was wrong, so Qijian didn't communicate with her, and even deliberately avoided her.At first I thought it was a prank, but the more I found out that something was wrong, seven
