The Wife is First

24Chapter 24 Ruoyi

The visit to the temple fair ended early because he met three people from Mu Lingbao. On the way back, Mu Hanzhang was sitting on the horse. Thinking of the three people who had been beaten and still smiling in apology, he couldn't help but want to laugh. .

Looking down and seeing the man in his arms pursed his lips to hold back a smile, Jing Shao decided to find opportunities to beat the three of them more in the future. When Mu Lingbao pushed his younger brother into the water, those two cousins ​​were also present. On March 9 this year, they were thrown into the river for a dip.

King Cheng's Courtyard is in the east of the city, and the piece of wild forest assigned to him by Beiweihou Mansion is also in the east of the city. Not far from the city on Xiao Hei, the wild forest full of rocks appeared in front of him. Mu Hanzhang turned his head and looked at Jing Shao, who was meditating. Are you still thinking about the woman in pink? Thinking of his reaction at that time, the corners of his upward curved mouth slowly pursed into a line. "Little spoon..."

"Huh?" Jing Shao came back to his senses and looked down at him.

Who is that woman? The question came to his lips and he swallowed it back. Mu Hanzhang pursed his lips and turned to look at the wild forest: "What do you think you can grow in this wild forest to make money?"

"Desolate forest?" Jing Shao looked up at the forest and sneered, "This kind of forest is full of rocks and little soil, so you can't run horses and hunt..." At this point, Jing Shao suddenly pulled the reins and stopped to look at the people in front of him. A deserted forest meditates.

This forest is at least 300 acres, full of rocks, dense shrubs, and weeds. You can't see what's going on inside. It's a good place to station troops! Moreover, this place is only twenty miles away from the capital! It's a pity that the land in the suburbs of Beijing is owned by someone. When Taizu conquered the world, he distributed the land around the capital to several founding princes. If he openly buys this useless piece of wild forest, it will definitely arouse suspicion.

"Jun Qing, do you know who owns this forest?" If we have this forest, many things will be easier to handle. If there is any eventuality in the future, we can have a guarantee. Even if it takes some effort, Jing Shao wants to Got this land.

Mu Hanzhang lowered his head, sighed and said, "This forest is now most of my family property."

Jing Shao was stunned for a moment, then laughed and kissed the person in his arms on the cheek: "Jun Qing, you are really my lucky star!"

"Huh?" Now, it was Mu Hanzhang's turn to be stunned.

"How about I trade you a hundred acres of fertile land in Qi County for this piece of wild forest?" Jing Shao lightly kicked the horse's belly, making Xiao Hei start running happily.

"If you want to use it, just use it." Mu Hanzhang felt that Jing Shao was trying to help him get rid of this useless land, "It's just that one hundred acres of fertile land cannot be exchanged for this thing."

"So, this desolate forest is worth more to me than a thousand acres of fertile land!" Jing Shao chuckled and hugged the person in his arms tightly with one hand, making Xiao Hei run faster.

In the evening, the two guards sent by Jing Shao to find someone came back.

"This subordinate is incompetent." The two guards knelt down to apologize.

"That's all, maybe I got it wrong." Jing Shao waved his hand for them to go down, frowning in thought. The woman I saw at the temple fair today did indeed look like Ge Ruoyi.

The reason why Jing Shao attaches so much importance is that this person is a key to pacifying the Third Division.

In the previous life, Jing Shao first met Ge Ruoyi at a banquet at the Fourth Prince's Mansion. This woman danced to the song "Die Lian Hua" so beautifully that he still remembered it freshly. So much so that when I saw her in the palace of Southeast King a few years later, I recognized her immediately. She had a bloody feud with the Southeast King. She came to the capital to file a petition but was intercepted by the Fourth Prince. After escaping from the Fourth Prince's Mansion, she sneaked into the Southeast Prince's Mansion through unknown means and became the Southeast King's favorite concubine.

Back then, Jing Shao led his troops to pacify the Three Kingdoms. Although the Southeast King was lustful and greedy for money, he was unambiguous in fighting. The arrow that almost killed him in the eighteenth year of Hongzheng was given by the Southeast King's general. Just when he thought he was going to the southeast, news of the sudden death of the Southeast King suddenly came. And the Southeast King died in the hands of this seemingly weak little woman!

When Mu Hanzhang came to ask Jing Shao to take a bath, he saw his expression immersed in memories and couldn't help but secretly clenched his sleeves.

There was no news about Ge Ruoyi's whereabouts, so Jing Shao put it aside for the time being.

With his own princess helping to copy books, Jing Shao could feel free to practice martial arts with Ren Feng and others in the courtyard every day. In the evening, he and Jun Qing soaked in hot springs and drank wine, and lived an extremely happy life. He finally realized why Mu Lingbao and the other three always bullied Mu Hanzhang. It felt so good to have someone do his homework for him.

It was originally agreed that we would stay for two days, but as soon as Jing Shao arrived, he didn't want to go back.

On the ninth day of April, the birthday of Marquis Beiwei, in addition to the birthday greeting picture drawn by Mu Hanzhang himself, Jing Shao also gave him a generous gift. Beiwei Hou Mujin was even more affectionate than last time when he saw Jing Shao, but his implicit intention to win over Jing Shao was still vague. Jing Shao didn't care either. He knew the mentality of the old fox Marquis Beiwei, so he kept a high profile when wooing him and didn't force him.

To everyone's surprise, the fourth prince Jing Yu also came to celebrate his birthday. However, Jing Yu put down his gifts and chatted with Mu Jin for a while before leaving. Because he was still in confinement, he only came out for a long time to ask for the grace of his mother. There are few princes and princes in the capital and they are closely related by marriage, and the House of the Marquis of Beiwei and the Yongchang House of the Queen's mother are no exception, so it makes sense that the fourth prince would like to wish the Marquis of Beiwei a birthday.

Seeing that his father was more enthusiastic about the fourth prince than Jing Shao, Mu Hanzhang felt cold in his heart. He told his father that Jing Shao was also being punished and could not stay long, so he pulled him away.

"Jun Qing, I'm fine." Jing Shao sat in the carriage and looked at his princess with a cold face. He felt warm in his heart. Apart from his mother and brother, the only person who would be angry because he was wronged was Jun Qing. .

"The fourth prince has reached the age to choose his concubine. It just so happens that the daughter-in-law of Beiwei Hou Mansion is not married yet. My father..." Mu Hanzhang pursed his lips. His father knew that Jing Shao and the fourth prince were not from the same school, so he still did this. With such a plan, although this can protect the Northern Weihou Mansion, it is really chilling to treat one person so favorably.

"Jun Qing," Jing Shao held him in his arms distressedly, "Being born in a princely family, there are some things you should not force."

Mu Hanzhang sighed, leaned his body against Jing Shao's chest, and said softly: "I know..."

"Eh~" The walking carriage suddenly stopped, and the two people in the carriage suddenly fell forward. Jing Shao quickly hugged the person in his arms tightly and held the bottom of the car with one hand to prevent him from getting hit.

"My lord, please forgive me, but the little one deserves to die." The coachman hurriedly apologized.

"What's going on?" Jing Shao asked after seeing that the person in his arms was safe and sound.

"The horses of the fourth prince and the guards suddenly stopped. Little Laibu hastily stopped." The coachman opened half of the door curtain to show them the situation ahead.

A woman in pink clothes was seen kneeling in front of the horse holding a blood picture. Jing Yu, who was wearing a dark yellow prince uniform, was sitting on the horse. After hearing what the woman said, he suddenly jumped off the horse and walked towards the woman.

"Oops!" Jing Shao let go of the person in his arms, quickly jumped out of the car, rushed to the woman before Jing Yu, and grabbed her arm, "Ruoyi, I finally found you!"

"You..." The woman kneeling on the ground was Ge Ruoyi. She had heard that it was Marquis Beiwei's birthday today, so she stopped a man who seemed to have the highest status with a complaint. Unexpectedly, a man dressed in moon white suddenly rushed out. The man in fine clothes suddenly grabbed her and called her by her maiden name, which frightened her so much that she froze on the spot.

"Brother Sanhuang, do you know this woman?" Jing Yu frowned, "She just said she wanted to file a complaint."

"She is a dancer I met in the desert," Jing Shao pointed to his head, "Fanbang people, there is something unclear here." Before Ge Ruoyi could explain, Jing Shao knocked the person unconscious with a single blow of his knife. He threw it to the guard aside.

Hearing this, Jing Yu looked Ge Ruoyi up and down and saw that although this woman looked haggard, she could not hide her beauty. She was indeed a rare beauty. He didn't doubt Jing Shao's words, because the woman did say her name was Ruoyi just now.

"Brother, I'll give you a better one someday." Jing Shao smiled and patted Jing Yu on the shoulder, and the two of them left with a few polite words. Jing Shao turned around, exhaled, and asked the guards to take Ge Ruoyi back to the other courtyard first.

In the afternoon, Mu Hanzhang sat in the study and continued to help Jing Shao copy books. Jing Shao's expression after seeing the woman kept appearing in front of his eyes. Yesterday I abandoned him and chased him out, and today I did it again, and I went to see that woman right after lunch...

My heart ached uncomfortably. When I came back to my senses, I realized that I had copied the wrong line. I had to tear up the page and start again. I started writing again, but I wrote three characters "Shao" uncontrollably!
