The Wife is First

23Chapter 23 Temple Fair

"There are a lot of things going on in this mansion, not to mention that when my father punished you, you immediately went to play in another courtyard. Wouldn't it be arousing criticism?" Mu Hanzhang sighed, pushed the guy in his arms away slightly, and took it again The account book looks like this.

Jing Shao followed his strength and fell on the soft floor: "My father asked me to copy the "Book of War" ten times. It will take a month to finish it at least. I can't stay at home all the time, right?"

Mu Hanzhang glanced at him and pretended he didn't hear anything. He put the reviewed account books aside and picked up a register from the palace to read: "I have to ask you about something."

Although the matter of Li's drugging has been solved, where the drug came from has only been revealed today. The names of the servants involved in this matter have been listed one by one, but there is one person who is special.

"Yanji?" Jing Shao couldn't help but frowned when he heard the name, "Stop this matter for now and wait until the eldest brother goes out to fight in three days before dealing with it." Liu Yanji was given by the eldest prince, although she knew it She had a problem, but the eldest prince was rushing to deal with the princess he sent as he was about to go on an expedition, so it was inevitable that people would gossip.

"I have an idea," Mu Hanzhang pursed his lips, glanced at Jing Shao, and said hesitantly, "Do you really think the prince has never touched her?"

Jing Shao sat up and touched his nose awkwardly: "Why would I lie to you about something like this?"

"What I mean is that the fourth prince's ban will be lifted next month. As the elder brother, the prince naturally wants to send a congratulatory gift." Mu Hanzhang lowered his eyes and said slowly.

Jing Shao's eyes lit up: "You mean, give her to Jing Yu?" Concubines below the concubine level can be given away. Since the eldest prince sends a disaster to his side, he can definitely give it to him. Others, although the eldest prince and the fourth prince have become close in recent years, they are not in harmony with each other. With such a ready source of information, they do not believe that the eldest prince will not use it.

This trick moves the disaster eastward, and it is really used beautifully!

"Jun Qing, you are so smart!" Jing Shao excitedly took his princess into his arms and kissed her.

"Your Majesty..." Mu Hanzhang pushed him away, his ears dyed pink. He was talking about business. Why couldn't this man be upright?

The final result of the two people's discussion was that all the servants involved in delivering the medicine were dealt with. Yanji was left alone for now, and they would deliver it to the fourth prince when he was released in mid-March.

In the afternoon, Jing Shao took a nice nap with his princess in his arms, and then followed him to the small study, where one dealt with internal affairs and the other copied military documents.

"The Book of War" is a summary of the art of war compiled by four scholars at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China. It integrates the essence of the art of war for thousands of years. It is indeed a good book, but when Jing Shao looked at the half-foot-tall set of books, he still felt He grimaced. If I copy this ten times, I'm afraid I won't be able to finish it in a month.

Mu Hanzhang glanced at the guy who was lying on the table just after copying three pages, and pushed the tea that Miao Xi had brewed to him: "I can make some arrangements for the affairs in the house in the past few days. There will be a temple fair on the third day of April. , let’s go shopping then, and I’ll accompany you to stay in another hospital for two days.” After the monthly payment was completed on the first day of April, and the new maids and servants were selected on the second day of the second lunar month, it was basically no big deal.

After hearing this, Jing Shao immediately became happy. He took a sip of tea and started copying again. After a while, he couldn't sit still: "I'm going to practice my sword for a while and then I'll copy again." After saying that, he threw down his pen and went out.

Mu Hanzhang chuckled and shook his head. He knew his son was more like his father. The emperor punished Jingshao to copy books because he knew that he didn't like to write and couldn't sit still. He took the half-copied book, stared at the vigorous and powerful words for a moment, and then picked up the pen to write the broken line.

When Jing Shao came back, he found that the five pages he originally copied had turned into more than thirty pages, and the writing style and strength of those extra words were exactly the same as his own!

"Jun Qing, did you write this?" Jing Shao grabbed the book and found his princess who was sitting at the dinner table serving soup.

Mu Hanzhang nodded slightly: "When I was a child, I did homework for my eldest brother and two cousins, and I learned to imitate other people's handwriting."

"But can anyone's handwriting be imitated?" Jing Shao held his hand excitedly. You must know that those who can imitate handwriting can forge letters. This is of great use on the battlefield!

"As long as it's not too weird." Passing the soup bowl over, Mu Hanzhang didn't understand why he valued it so much.

"Jun Qing...you are truly a rare treasure!" Jing Shao was silent for a moment and said slowly.

"It's just some unattractive skills," Mu Hanzhang smiled. The imitation calligraphy and accounting he knew were all things that scholars would disdain. "I just learned too much, so my husband didn't allow me to win the exam." I will take the examination in the next year." When he said this, the look in his eyes dimmed. He was selected as a candidate at the age of seventeen. His husband felt that he was not ready yet, so he asked him to wait for another three years, but unexpectedly, he changed in these three years. Became forever.

Seeing that he was sad, Jing Shao didn't know how to comfort him, so he had to change the topic: "Don't let them prepare breakfast tomorrow. I will take you to Huaweilou to eat. Xiao Yuan and his wife are very interesting."

The next day, Jingshao regretted it when he arrived at Huiweilou, because as soon as his princess met Zhou Jin, they started chatting about business. Boss Zhou, who was dressed in green, also warmly invited Mu Hanzhang to participate in the monthly meeting. At a husband-wife party, he and Xiao Yuan, who was also left out, had to eat wontons in silence.

In the blink of an eye, it was the third day of April, and the temple fair in the south of the city was bustling with activity. There were people setting up stalls, performing arts, asking for fortune-telling, and monkey tricks, just to name a few.

Jing Shao pulled his princess through the crowd. The weather in April has begun to get hot. The two of them wore royal blue silk clothes of the same color. Jing Shao buttoned up a pair of silver wristbands inlaid with gems, and Mu Hanzhang wore a wide-sleeved tulle. The two equally handsome people were in person. The pile is quite eye-catching.

The roadside was full of vendors selling snacks and gadgets. Jing Shao bought some croquettes, vegetarian meatballs made of flour, tofu, bean sprouts, etc., deep-fried in a frying pan until golden brown, and topped with a layer of sauce. Very tempting. He poked one with a bamboo stick and handed it to his princess' mouth. Mu Hanzhang frowned. Eating on the road was not a gentleman's behavior and was very rude, but he didn't want to offend his kindness. I looked around and quickly opened my mouth to bite off the meatballs. The crispy meatballs paired with the fragrant sauce were surprisingly delicious. Mu Hanzhang couldn't help but curl his lips.

This series of expressions naturally fell into Jing Shao's eyes. Just as he was about to make a joke, a familiar figure suddenly flashed in the corner of his eyes. He suddenly looked up and saw a figure in a pink dress disappearing into the crowd. The flash of profile made him shocked. He couldn't help but drop the meatball in his hand and turned around to chase after him.

"Little spoon..." Mu Hanzhang watched as he let go of his hand and chased a woman in pink clothes away. After a while, she was lost in the crowd and disappeared.

"Hey, the princess can actually go out, why doesn't she bring a bodyguard?" A familiar voice came from behind, and Mu Hanzhang frowned. This frivolous and annoying voice sounded like it was his cousin Mu Yang. arts.

"My second brother is also here to visit the temple fair. Why are you alone?" Turning around, he saw that it was his eldest brother Mu Lingbao and his two cousins, Mu Yangwen and Mu Huafeng.

Jing Shao chased him not far, but the man had disappeared.

"My lord, who are you looking for?" The guard hidden in the crowd came over and asked.

"You two are looking for a woman wearing pink clothes with a cinnabar mole on the corner of her eyebrows. She should be called 'Ruoyi'." He pointed to two guards and asked them to find her. Only then did Jing Shao remember that he had given Jun Qing to He dropped it and ran back in a hurry. There are so many people at the temple fair, and Jun Qing is so good-looking, it would be bad if he meets a prostitute or a promiscuous woman.

Sure enough, when he returned to the place, he saw three men surrounding Mu Hanzhang, with their backs turned to him. It was hard to see what they were doing, but looking at the expression on his princess's face, she was clearly angry with her pursed lips. Jing Shao was immediately filled with anger. He walked over and grabbed the collar of the man who was speaking. He punched the man in the eye socket and kicked the man on both sides to the ground.

Mu Hanzhang's eyes widened and his mouth was half-opened as Jing Shao held him in his arms: "Jun Qing, are you okay?"

"Xiao Shao, they..." Mu Hanzhang looked at the three people who fell on the ground, and the corner of his mouth twitched.

"What are you doing? Why don't you come out after seeing the princess being teased?" Jing Shao scolded the two guards behind him and looked down at the three "disciples" lying on the ground. The two holding their stomachs seemed to be a little agitated. He looks familiar, and the one standing up with a blue eye seems to be his brother-in-law—Mu Lingbao?
