"Just now Zhu'er came, saying it was a letter from home, everything is fine, Ziwen has married a wife, and now everything is at peace." Mu Luoluo turned her head and rubbed Su Qingwan's cheek with the tip of her nose, "In the days to come, Don't worry about anything, you are the only one left."

"I only thought of you all these years as the only one in your heart. I can't imagine that I was being sentimental." Su Qingwan raised her eyebrows, turned to Mu Luoluo, and raised her hand to touch her heart. "To be honest, these Years, how many people have I squeezed into your heart with?"

"You have always been at the top of your heart. No one can compare to your position." Mu Luoluo raised her hand and pinched Su Qingwan's cheek, and then signaled the little eunuch to enter the house and move the recliner out. The future of the weak brother is justified, isn't it?"

"It's natural, I was just joking with you." Su Qingwan laughed, leaned over and kissed Mu Luoluo's face, and then told the little eunuch who was about to put down the recliner, "Don't put it here, Put it in the pavilion over there, and then bring the stove."

When Mu Luoluo listened, she knew that she was here because she wanted to drink tea and enjoy the snow in the pavilion.

"A few days ago, a letter came from Quanzhou." Su Qingwan sat down, took the jade roller from Hei Yao's hand, and slowly rolled the tea cake, "This tea was sent with the letter, and it was said that it was hidden for more than ten years. The Anxi Hairy Crab from [-], Missy, taste it to see if it is a good tea."

In Quanzhou, Mu Luoluo thought for a while before remembering who Su Qingwan knew in Quanzhou: "How is Miss Lin recently? After so many years, this is the first time I have received a letter from Quanzhou?"

"That's right, it's been six or seven years since she left the palace." Su Qingwan put the ground tea into a cup, poured some water, and steam rose up." The letter said that the second son of the Chu family is now married , she never remarried, but lived with her younger brother's family and owned a tea garden, and her life was considered well off."

"She wrote at this time, isn't it just to say this?" Mu Luoluo frowned, staring at Su Qingwan, Su Qingwan was not such a nosy person.

"It's true that I can't hide anything from you." Su Qingwan smiled, poured a cup of brewed tea, and offered it to Mu Luoluo. Although far away in Quanzhou, I have heard about it, thinking that the only ones in the palace who still have friendship with me and Sister Ruan are now, so I wrote a letter to me, and yesterday I ordered Hei Yao to make a copy of the letter and send it to Sister Ruan gone."

"So, she sent you the letter for the sake of the fourth prince?" Mu Luoluo took a sip of the tea, which had a faint jasmine fragrance and endless aftertaste. It really is a good tea for more than ten years. "Ruan Jieyu once said that when she was out of the palace, The child didn't say a word, I just thought she didn't care."

"As a mother, even if the two places are separated, she definitely doesn't care. She just didn't expect that Concubine An Xian would help him win the heir, so she had no choice but to send a letter to harass her." Su Qingwan looked at Mu Luoluo again and again. Nodding her head, she knew that this was really good tea. Luoluo had been in business all those years, so she didn't know any other skills, but her tea tasting skills were really top-notch.

"Then let me guess. She wrote the letter because she wanted you to help him? Let the Su family join the fourth prince?" Mu Luoluo asked tentatively. Although she had lived in the palace for many years, she still knew nothing about political affairs.

"Miss Mu, there are times when things don't go as planned." Su Qingwan pursed her lips and smiled, "What she said in the letter is exactly the opposite of what you guessed. She knows that I have a lot of friendship with Concubine Song, so she knows that if I really want to choose I will definitely choose Concubine Song Guifei, so she begged me, no matter what the final result is, to try to keep him as decent as possible. Besides, I, the son of the Su family, have always been loyal to His Majesty and never participated in the party and government."

"Decent?" Mu Luoluo frowned, the word carried a lot of weight when carefully appraised.

"Yes, decent." Su Qingwan repeated, then shook her head with a smile, "What is decent in the whirlpool of the court? It's just that life can be settled, and death can be buried."

"Today is such a beautiful day, it's a little frightening to say these things." Mu Luoluo raised her hand and rubbed the back of her neck. Su Qingwan's words were harmless at first, but after thinking about it, it made people feel chills.

"It's my fault." Su Qingwan blinked playfully, "Don't talk about these political affairs, I still have an old thing in my heart, do you want to hear it?"

"There's nothing else to do, so it's okay to listen." Mu Luoluo said while gesturing to Hei Yao, who was waiting not far away, to add new charcoal to Su Qingwan's hand stove, and then heat up the stove, so there is no need to boil water , but just for warmth.

"Sister Lin said that Mrs. An has been favored for many years, but she has no children. This matter has something to do with Sister Ruan." Su Qingwan paused on purpose, suffocating Mu Luoluo's curiosity, and then continued, "Back then, Sister Ruan personally tuned her." The sterilized spices were carried on my body and went to Concubine An Xian every day to greet and serve, and ended up with two injuries, so now Concubine An Xian and Sister Ruan have nothing under their knees. As for the reason, Sister Lin never mentioned it, it has always been a secret and inconvenient Let it out."

"No wonder Concubine Xian is now strangers to Ruan Jieyu. I used to wonder that Concubine Xian and Zhaoyuan have a good relationship, so she should have a good relationship with Ruan Jieyu. It turns out that there is such an old thing." Mu Luoluo nodded suddenly, she I once guessed the secret of the concubine Xian's childlessness, now that I know it, I am satisfied, so why bother to delve into the worries and grievances of the two of them.

"Sister Ruan is really..." Su Qingwan was about to sigh, but was startled by the sudden sound of firecrackers, and subconsciously got up and threw herself into Mu Luoluo's arms.

After Mu Luoluo covered Su Qingwan's ears, she looked in the direction of the sound of firecrackers, but saw Princess Hehua who was also stunned not far away.

"What's going on here?" Mu Luoluo supported Su Qingwan to get up, and looked coldly at the little eunuch who flew over and knelt down.

"Damn the servants, it was the servants who accidentally saw Mars when they were preparing firecrackers, which disturbed the empress, the servants should die, the servants should die!" The little eunuch was so frightened by Mu Luoluo's appearance that he kowtowed for a while. I saw red on the snow.

"New Year's Eve is approaching, but you are so careless. You really are used to pampering you. It's not easy to punish you today. Write it down first, and you will be punished in the next year." Su Qingwan straightened her appearance and said displeasedly, "Back off Come on, seeing blood at the end of the year is really unlucky."

"Slave servant deserves to die, servant servant deserves to die." The little eunuch responded in one voice and stepped back hastily.

"Su Niangniang." Princess Hehua, who came back to her senses, was hugged by Ruan Jieyu, who arrived behind, and called out timidly. This was the first time that Su Niangniang and Aunt Luo Luo got angry since she could remember.

"Don't scare the child." Su Qingwan gently tugged on Mu Luoluo's sleeve, and shook her head lightly.

Mu Luoluo's eyes kept falling on the blood stains on the snow, and her brows were tightly frowned.

Su Qingwan sighed, and nodded slightly towards Ruan Jieyu, indicating that she would lead He Hua into the house first, and then indicated that the little maid shoveled fresh snow to cover the bloodstain.

"Okay." Su Qingwan raised her hand to gently smooth Mu Luoluo's frowning brows, leaned over and kissed her brows, "It's just that the servant kowtowed a little harder, so don't worry about it."

"Yeah." Mu Luoluo closed her eyes, took a long breath of relief, and then smiled, "Let's go, I really scared the princess just now."

"Who says it's not." Su Qingwan sized Mu Luoluo up, making sure she was really fine, and then she was relieved. The Mu family has always valued these things in business for generations.

"I was curious when I saw Ruan Jieyu." Mu Luoluo took Su Qingwan's arm and walked back slowly, "Since Miss Lin wrote about Ruan Jieyu's past in the letter, how could you give this letter to her again? "

"Luoluo is so shrewd, and I married a beggar and an old man, how could I be so stupid." Su Qingwan blinked playfully, "Since I let Hei Yao transcribe, naturally I only transcribed the unimportant things."

"It's really thoughtful." Mu Luoluo raised her hand, pamperingly scratching the tip of Su Qingwan's nose.

Su Qingwan smiled and leaned on Mu Luoluo's shoulder.As Mu Luoluo walked, there was still a lingering dark red in front of her eyes, and she was always a little uneasy.

"This year's weather is really abnormal." Hei Yao opened the curtain and ran in, breathing on his hands continuously, "Ma'am, aunt, it's snowing outside, but it's very cold."

"It's really strange this year. Now it's clear that the beginning of spring and the beginning of January, but it's snowing again. It's really rare." Su Qingwan pushed the window open a crack and glanced out. Can next day.

"Fortunately, I'm lazy this year, and the thick clothes haven't been put away yet. From this point of view, I can still wear them for a while longer." Mu Luoluo was busy with her sewing, and never raised her head. She only felt the wind pouring in through the crack of the window. The illusion of the twelfth lunar month in winter.

"This year is really disaster-prone. A few days ago, there was a flood in the middle of the Yellow River, and many surrounding counties were affected. His Majesty sent the prince to take care of it. Unexpectedly, the local grain merchants maliciously raised prices, resulting in starvation everywhere. The prince had no choice but to do nothing. Please ask for an order to open the warehouse to release grain, but he was also played by people who despise His Majesty." Su Qingwan closed the window, shuddered, turned back the scriptures that had been turned by the wind, and continued to write, "These days, what is going on? It can be said that the Qing Palace is full of gloom."

"Grain merchants drive up the price of grain, and they can be punished and punished. When the country is in crisis, it is not wrong to forcibly expropriate. How can the prince be forced to open the granary?" Mu Luoluo was puzzled. His father once told himself, saying It is because the ancestors experienced years of severe drought and no crops. The officials forced the Mu family to garrison grain.

"This is naturally due to the collusion between the government and the grain merchants." Su Qingwan raised her eyes and glanced at Mu Luoluo, and couldn't help laughing, "It's not like every family is like the Mu family, and doesn't deal with the official residence."

"Then the prince can't participate in the collusion between local officials and grain merchants?" Mu Luoluo took the stitches from the clothes in her hand and put them aside.

"Of course I participated, but it was a pity that I was bitten again. The officials cried and shouted that they were wronged, and said that they would sue the old man and return to his hometown to show his innocence. But the grain merchants clamored that the price hike was the prince's secret instruction , and there are letters to prove it. In this way, the crown prince will not be able to argue." Su Qingwan looked at the Buddhist scriptures she had copied, then hung the wolf hair back on the pen holder, and looked at Mu Luoluo with one hand resting on her chin. The secret collusion is clearly something out of nothing, but the letter is indeed in the prince's handwriting, so there is a dilemma."

"This concubine An Xian is really quite clever." Mu Luoluo handed the mended clothes to the little maid, and asked her to take them down to store them.
