I am the county magistrate in Daming
Chapter 34 The Moon's Kiss
On the second day after returning to Zimingli, there was light rain in the sky, and when the temperature dropped, Mu Qingtian was caught off guard.He sat on the bed, wrapped himself into a ball with the quilt, and held the handsome man with his nose crooked in his arms.
Cuizhu woke up early, felt the unusual cold as soon as she went out, and hurriedly asked someone to burn two more pots of charcoal fire and send them to Mu Qingtian's room.
Seeing Mu Qingtian curled up in the quilt warming his hands, Cui Zhu blamed himself very much.She knew that the conditions in Zimingli were no better than Taicangzhou, so she should take care of the young master at all times to make him live comfortably.
"The servant has neglected the young master, please punish him." Cui Zhu lowered her head and knelt at Mu Qingtian's feet.
Mu Qingtian hurriedly called her up and said, "It's cold on the ground, stand up and talk."
"Young Master." Cui Zhu shook her head, "Young Master is so kind to the servants, but the servants are ungrateful. It is a heinous crime to make the Young Master feel wronged."
Mu Qingtian thought for a while, and said, "Cuizhu, do you think I treat Fubao Fuyuan, Yaoqin, and Lushui well?"
"Of course!" Cuizhu said excitedly, "I have never seen such a kind-hearted young master."
"Really?" Mu Qingtian asked back.
"But I don't feel good about it."
"I left Qin Qin alone to deal with those tyrannical people in Zimingli; I let them use five people to fight against the rioting people; I let you take care of the entire Lizheng/fu; I also let Stop the cloud and go up the mountain to dig the ground in the middle of the night;”
"Yao Qin has lost a lot of weight, and the green water and green mountains have also been injured. Do you think this is 'good'?"
Cuizhu was at a loss for words, she felt something was wrong, but she didn't know how to refute Mu Qingtian.
"These are what slaves should do, and they are not worthy of the young master's mind."
"Really?" Mu Qingtian raised his eyebrows, "The only thing you should do is serve me. After all, you are my maid, not Zimingli's."
"What is 'good'? Cui Zhu, I hope you think about it carefully."
Mu Qingtian treats everyone around him like he treats his friends, he basically has no airs, and he doesn't bully new college students just because of his seniority.
But his "friends" are not "friends and friends" who have no bottom line, but partners who can fight side by side.With him as the center, the entire team is gathered together, each person performs their own duties, and then sends information to him through a solid relationship chain, forming a highly efficient comprehensive processor.
This kind of cooperation mode was learned by Mu Qingtian by ear - when he was in the orphanage, all the children were centered around the headmaster's grandpa, and the older children took care of the younger ones, which not only reduced the burden on the headmaster's grandfather, but also kept things in order.
Seeing that Cui Zhu didn't answer after thinking for a long time, Mu Qingtian could only give her an easy-to-understand example.
"Fubao fell in love with a girl from Zimingli, but this girl has already made an engagement and is going to get married soon. Fubao came to beg me, and I used Lizheng's power to force the two people who were going to get married to separate, and let the girl Girl marry Fubao."
"Master would never do such a thing!" Cui Zhu disagreed.
"Now replace Fu Bao with 'others'. If I don't do this, 'others' will get angry and feel that I'm hypocritical and not 'good' enough for him. Since we are friends, we should do anything for them, even If you don't want to do such a small favor, you can't be regarded as a friend."
"Similarly, if I want to ask him to do something, he will shirk it in every possible way. If he can't shirk it, he will cut corners and be unwilling to do it well."
"Jump out of this circle and look away." Mu Qingtian felt that his hands and feet were almost warm, so he put down his handsome shoes and stood up.
Cuizhu also got up and followed behind him.
"Bottomless tolerance is 'good'. The relationship between me and you can never be summed up by 'good'."
Only now did Cuizhu understand what Mu Qingtian meant.
"My lord, Cuizhu was confused, and got into a dead end for a moment."
She was dissatisfied, dissatisfied that Mu Qingtian was very kind to everyone, and was afraid that her young master would make a wrong payment with all sincerity, thinking that it was only natural for everyone to follow his orders.But she forgot that she and Fuyuan Fubao were the only ones who followed Mu Qingtian in the entire Lizheng/Mansion, and the rest of the people did things with money.
Mu Qingtian nodded in relief, turned his head and continued to look at the sky, pretending to be deep, but what he was thinking about was why Cuizhu was still standing here, he was hungry.
"Ow-!!"
There was a mournful howl from behind, Mu Qingtian and Cuizhu turned their heads at the same time, and found that Yingjun who had fallen asleep on the bed had rolled out of bed at some point, and instinctively leaned against the brazier, only to be burnt to the bone by the fire.
"My dear!" Mu Qingtian strode over to pick up Yingjun and check it to see if it was burned.
"Should I say that you deserve to be a purebred?" Mu Qingtian sighed as he touched the top of its burnt head in distress.
Cui Zhu was a little curious, and said, "Your Excellency, do you know the origin of being handsome?"
Mu Qingtian realized that he had slipped his tongue, so he hurriedly made jokes and got away with it.But when Cui Zhu asked, it reminded him of something.
Were there Huskies in the Ming Dynasty?
Mu Qingtian raised the handsome man, staring at each other with big eyes.Handsome has never been so close to others before, and he immediately becomes cross-eyed.
Well, pure.
Mu Qingtian didn't intend to get entangled so much, after all, there is a supernatural thing called the system in front, so it's not uncommon for Erha to appear.
"It's winter, handsome is still young, adults should prepare a warm nest for it, otherwise it won't be able to withstand this winter."
Mu Qingtian was a little surprised, and said, "Cuizhu, do you still know this?"
Cuizhu was a little embarrassed, and blushed and replied: "I was born as a hunter, and I had hunted with my father several times before entering the mansion. For hunting, my father raised a wild dog at home, and I took care of it."
"Very good." Mu Qingtian nodded solemnly, "From now on, I'll leave you handsome."
The temperature drop in the early morning woke up everyone, everyone shivered and yawned, doing the work that should be done, the cooking that should be done, everything was as usual.
Mu Qingtian went to the field early to check, and found that dozens of acres of official land were well-raised.
"My lord, during your absence, people in the mansion took turns to cultivate, and the common people also came to help, and the grain was received before the end of the last season." Yao Qin said holding a booklet.
"The output of the official land is more than one bucket per mu, and if the land tax is deducted, there will be at least five shi of grain left."
"Okay, okay!" Mu Qingtian couldn't hold his hands together excitedly, "Thank you for your hard work, so that you won't have to worry about food and clothing in winter."
Yao Qin raised the corner of his mouth and said, "Thanks to your lord."
"By the way, Yao Qin, have you written down the names of those people who came to help?"
"It's all here, sir, please have a look." Yao Qin handed over the booklet in his hand.
The records on each page of the booklet are clean and tidy, and well organized, making it a pleasure to look at.
"Aren't you illiterate?" Mu Qingtian wondered, "You wrote this booklet?"
Yao Qin just smiled and said nothing.
In the past, he felt that literacy was not necessary. He only needed to be able to recognize and write the names of medicinal materials.But when Mr. Mu knew that he was illiterate, he felt a little inferior.Later, because of Wu Tingyun, Mu Qingtian no longer entrusted him with the paperwork.
Seeing Wu Tingyun and Mu Qingtian soaking in the study all day, he was jealous and helpless.In order to change the status quo, he started learning characters behind everyone's back.
Before Mu Qingtian left, he was afraid that Yao Qin could not write clearly, so he gave him some money and asked him to invite nearby scholars to record.
"My lord, Yao Qin saved this money for you." Yao Qin untied the purse from his waist and handed it to Mu Qingtian.
Mu Qingtian was so moved that he praised Yao Qin Yiyi.He was not only happy for the money he saved, but also for Yao Qin.Under his influence, Yao Qin took the initiative to learn, which is already a great improvement.
"I didn't expect you to hide such thoughts." Mu Qingtian joked as he repeatedly looked at the embroidery on the purse.
Yao Qin panicked for a moment, and said, "I made adults laugh."
The purse is very new, it looks like it was made recently.The surrounding stitches are densely packed, and it doesn't look like it was made by a man.A pair of mandarin ducks are embroidered on the front of the purse, and red concentric rings are embroidered on the back.
"Just tell me which girl you like, as long as it's a girl from a good family in the boudoir, I'll help you ask."
The light in Yao Qin's eyes dimmed, and he pretended to be happy and said, "Thank you for your kindness first."
Back in Lizheng/Mansion, Mu Qingtian called five people from Lushuiqingshan, sorted out fifty hens according to the roster, packed them, and delivered them to each household in person.
"Well, how did this happen?" The woman who had given Mu Qingtian an egg before repeatedly refused.
"It's just an egg. It's already a great kindness for the adults to take back the world for us. We can't accept this chicken." The middle-aged man who didn't have much affection for Mu Qingtian didn't want to accept it either.
"God is impermanent, relying on the sky to farm is not safe and secure after all. These two chickens are not all for you. If there is a severe drought and famine in the future, it will also let Zimingli have another way of life."
After going door to door, everyone was reluctant to accept the hen at first, but with Mu Qingtian's persuasion, both sides were happy in the end.
He Shengcai contributed the most, and got another one.In order to thank Mu Qingtian, he volunteered to come to Lizheng/Mansion to help surround the chicken coop. Fortunately, he protected it and blocked the outside with wire to prevent weasels from coming in and stealing chickens.
Looking at the chicken farm that had begun to take shape, Mu Qingtian wiped off the sweat from his brow, filled with satisfaction and pride.The sense of accomplishment from scratch is the charm of poverty alleviation.
Some people heard that Mu Qingtian was distributing hens, and they all looked forward to it, but they didn't see Mu Qingtian come to the door after waiting all day.Impatient and unable to wait, he knocked on the door and asked sideways.Mu Qingtian saw their intentions and didn't expose them. He even took them to visit the huge chicken farm in the backyard without showing them.
Sell the last harvested peppers to Fu Shou Tang, and all the tasks before the New Year's Day will be completed.Such outstanding achievements cannot be achieved without the efforts of everyone in Lizheng/fu.Mu Qingtian decided to hold a small banquet at his own expense, as a treat, and by the way, look forward to the future and inspire everyone's fighting spirit.
Fu Shou Tang's business is booming, and it has become the largest restaurant in Chongming County from the close of closing.When Wu Yaozu heard that Mu Qingtian was going to hold a banquet, he picked the best chef in the restaurant without saying a word, and went to Zimingli with the fresh and rare fruits, vegetables and meat of the season.Of course, all for free.
In the evening three days later, smoke rose from cooking in the Lizheng/Mansion, and everyone was busy with joy.Yaoqin Xiaosan and Lushuiqingshan drank totteringly, Fubao and Fuyuan also squeezed together to grab food, Cuizhu laughed at the two of them for their lack of restraint, everyone was enjoying the joy of this moment.
Mu Qingtian sat on the main seat and sipped tea. He was out of tune with the noise and was extremely lonely.He seems to have returned to modern times. He couldn't get involved in the New Year's Eve dinner in the orphanage or the flowing water banquet in Xiaoheye Village.
"I'll bring two more dishes, you guys continue." Mu Qingtian stood up, and gestured to hold down Qiqi who was looking towards him.
Strolling to the entrance of the Lizheng/Mansion, Mu Qingtian sat on the threshold with his hands up, watching the sunset with his chin resting on his hands.It has been almost half a year since he traveled to the Ming Dynasty, and he has gradually adapted to the life here, and he has stood firm...
"Sir? Sir?"
Mu Qingtian shuddered and looked around.Who is calling him?
Shuhui came out from the wall with a bowl in her hand, and said coyly, "Sir, can I have another pair of bowls and chopsticks?"
……
"Let's not act like a beggar next time, okay?"
Shuhui was crying, and the rascal said: "Mr. won't give me food, I'm really going to be a beggar."
Where could Mu Qingtian let Shuhui, a weak woman, was wandering outside, so he brought her into the mansion.In the middle of the walk, he remembered that he was going to serve food, so he made a detour to the kitchen, and noticed that there was a pair of bowls and chopsticks missing from the table.
"Where did you get the bowl in your hand?"
"Hey, yes, the door is also open..."
The corners of Mu Qingtian's eyes twitched fiercely, but he couldn't do anything to Shuhui.It's self-evident whether the aura is wrong or the magnetic field is wrong, no matter how they come one by one, it's like a different person.
Mu Qingtian brought her a large bowl of compacted rice, and brought her two dishes of cold vegetables and pastries back to the hall.
As soon as Shuhui appeared, she attracted the attention of the audience, but she was still acquainted, sitting next to the green bamboo with a bowl in her arms, she was not polite, poked at the braised elbow on the table, and smashed off a large piece Put the meat with red skin into your own bowl.
"Uh, this one is, is..."
The moment Xiao San saw Shuhui, she lowered her head and just buried her head in cooking, not wanting to recognize anyone at all.
"Ting Yun's distant cousin." Mu Qingtian laughed a few times.
Xiao San almost spit out a mouthful of rice.Ah, but there's nothing wrong with saying that.
Cui Zhu reacted the most, leaning toward Fu Yuan in disgust.Distant cousin?Why come from Mingli and enter the mansion?Judging by the way she eats, she is really not educated at all, maybe she is a country girl who came from somewhere, and she heard that her cousin has climbed a high branch, and she wants to share a piece of the pie out of self-control.
Mu Qingtian was stunned, he had never seen such a person who could eat so wildly.It's not, it's not...
Isn't this the way of life he envied most!Eat meat and drink heavily, don't worry about anything, just enjoy the food!
Thinking about it, Mu Qingtian looked at Shuhui more lovingly, and pushed the food in front of her towards her, saying: "Eat more, don't starve yourself, just eat enough."
"Oh, thank you!" Shuhui didn't even have time to say a word.
Yao Qin's eyes darkened, he turned back and forth on Mu Qingtian and Shuhui, and finally met Cuizhu's eyes.The two nodded in tacit understanding, unanimously speaking, staring at Shuhui with the same hatred.
You Shuhui was at the bottom, and the food that was originally a lot came to an end in an instant.Fortunately, everyone is full, and it doesn't hurt to give Shuhui the rest of the meal.
Shuhui wandered around for a long time, worked as a beggar, robbed officialdom, and was still a wild lunatic when Zhu Jingshou picked her up. She didn't know how to use chopsticks, and she only ate with her hands.Zhu Youtang sent the most experienced and patient nanny in the palace to teach Shuhui in Prince Qing's Mansion. It was like this, and Shuhui finally became "smooth in advancing and retreating" after a year.
After Mammy returned home, she was seriously ill, and Shuhui was always in her dreams.
The habit from childhood has been engraved in Shuhui's bone marrow, she can't change it, she can only pretend.She can play another person, a gentle and kind woman who is knowledgeable and polite.But in front of people close to her, she will still reveal some of her true nature.
Xiaoyi was the first victim. He fell in love with Shuhui at first sight and was extremely gentle. In the end, he successfully uncovered Shuhui's disguise and saw her inside.Xiao San still remembers the scene at that time, and she doesn't want to recall it again.
The term "evil ghost upper body" circulated in Jinyiwei refers to Shuhui.
She has a good sense of people, and she has the smell of a witch in her.Although hazy, he felt that Mu Qingtian and Prince Qing would be an inseparable whole in the future.Please please Mu Qingtian in advance, and then show Mu Qingtian the most "sincere" and "real" side, so that we can meet each other in the future!
After the dinner party, Cui Zhu uncharacteristically begged to see Mu Qingtian.
"Cuizhu, it's just in time." Mu Qingtian waved her hand, "Shuhui is new here, and she's a girl again, please take care of her. Tomorrow I'll ask Fubao to buy a few quilts and a few charcoal basins for everyone to share. "
"My lord, there are doubts about Shuhui's origin, do you really want to let her stay here?" Cuizhu said.
"Ok?"
"Didn't I say that she is Wu Tingyun's distant cousin, and she is considered a half acquaintance?"
Cuizhu didn't know what to say to Mu Qingtian, and was also afraid that he was really interested in Shuhui.It's not that she has any thoughts that she shouldn't have. If one day Mu Qingtian gets married, she will treat his wife the same as she treats him, and serve her wholeheartedly.But she absolutely cannot accept a barbaric woman like Shuhui as Mu Qingtian's main wife, and she will never approve of it.
"Wu Tingyun is a good person, but it doesn't mean that his cousin is also a good person. Who knows what kind of thoughts she has come here..." Cuizhu said the last part of the sentence in a very low voice.
"Don't worry, we met once when we were in Chongming County, I know what she is like." Mu Qingtian has always been clueless about emotional matters.
exist!worship!bright!county!At once!See!Pass!up!
Cuizhu is full of vigilance and vigilance, and her impression of Shuhui is already so bad.It's not good when to appear, but to appear when her adults are alone with Wu Tingyun, it is definitely with bad intentions!
"Since your lord said so, Cuizhu can rest assured." She smirked and exited the room.
There are also some tricks, which can deceive her young master, and even poured the young master with ecstasy soup, so that the young master will turn to her, which should not be underestimated.We must find a way to reveal her true face, and we cannot let this kind of person entrust the young master into the quagmire.
Yao Qin was also unable to sleep.He lay on the bed rubbing the purse in his hand, laughing and worrying for a while, his heart was full of Mu Qingtian.
The woman who appeared at the banquet today was very suspicious. Master Mu said that she was Wu Tingyun's distant cousin, but although she was crazy, her steps were extremely restrained and steady, unlike a country woman.
Previously, he thought that Mu Qingtian had finally sensed his intentions, but he didn't expect it to be just joy.
But that's fine too.No one can guess Master Mu's mind, if he thinks he is disgusting and immoral, it will not do him any good to pierce the window paper.The days are still long, and when the time comes, he will speak out.
Shuhui is very diligent and always helps Cuizhu to work without asking for anything in return, which makes Cuizhu doubt her motives even more.
It's not that easy to bribe me!
Cuizhu deliberately asked her to take the clothes to the river to wash, and did not give her a washboard.After winter, the stream at the foot of the mountain becomes extremely cold, and no one wants to soak their hands in such water to wash clothes.Everyone fetches water and boils it at home, or washes it after it is not too cold.
"Hiss, it's really cold." Shuhui put her hand into the water, and it was so cold.
After fighting the ghosts and ghosts in Chongming County, Shuhui was even a little moved by Cuizhu's tricks.No poisoning, no framing, just let her wash her clothes, what a kind person!She used to wash clothes in the icy river in the twelfth lunar month, compared with that, it was much worse.
Cuizhu didn't expect Shuhui to come back so soon, and thought she was lazy and didn't wash it seriously, so she grabbed the basins and checked them one by one.Every piece of clothing was clean and smelled of acacia.
She put down the clothes resentfully, and ordered Shuhui to say, "Don't hang it up after washing!"
"Okay." Shuhui stretched out her hand to pick up the basin.
Cuizhu noticed her hands that were red from the cold, and immediately regretted it.The young master treats people kindly, but she is secretly bullying others. If the young master finds out, he will definitely be upset.
"Forget it, leave it alone, I'll go to dry it." Cuizhu waved her hand irritably, "Come with me first."
Taking Shuhui back to her room, Cuizhu rummaged through it, found a bottle of chilblain ointment, dug out a small piece and applied it on Shuhui's joints.
Now Shuhui can't understand.
"Don't wash it tomorrow, go to the kitchen and help me."
Cuizhu decides to change her strategy, no longer embarrassing Shuhui, but staring at her all the time, never letting her have a chance to get close to Mu Qingtian.
Looking at the two people who went in and out together like sisters, Mu Qingtian: The old father is relieved.jpg
The more Shuhui thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong, and finally, on the day Zhu Jingshou came back, she realized it.
Early in the morning, Cuizhu was woken up by Shuhui and taken to a remote and uninhabited corner.After getting along for ten days, she found that Shuhui is very kind in nature and good at taking care of others.Although she kept telling herself that she couldn't remember Zhong Shuhui's memory, she couldn't stand the gentle offensive, so she drank the "Ecstasy Soup" willingly.
"Just talk about things, why come to this kind of place." Cuizhu rubbed her arms, looked at Shuhui and said.
"...What's your expression?"
Next, Cuizhu experienced the most shocking 3 minutes of her life.
"I'm sorry! You are a good person, and I like you very much!"
"But there will be no result between us, I'm really sorry!"
Cuizhu was stunned for a while before realizing what Shuhui was talking about, and immediately turned dark.
"Go get a dry ladle."
"What are you doing?" Shuhui blinked.
"Smash your skull!!"
Zhu Jingshou brought a lot of things back this time, most of them were rewards from the palace, and there were also several thick clothes made for him by the emperor's wife.Zhu Jingshou thought it was good, so he had the cheek to ask Mu Qingtian for a woolen jacket, but he delayed for a while.
He got off the car at Suzhou Mansion, changed into a mask, and put all the things that were too conspicuous in the other courtyard. He only took clothes and small practical items, bought some bacon and duck, and took these things back to Zimingli.
Mu Qingtian trotted out to greet him, saying, "I'll bring something when I come back", but my eyes were fixed on the things on the bullock cart and couldn't move away.
Wu Tingyun laughed, and handed over the car to Jinshan to let him unload the goods. He naturally stepped forward and covered Mu Qingtian's hand, and said: "It's such a cold day, sir, just wait in the mansion and go back next time, no need Come out and greet."
After finishing speaking, he still took a breath of hot air on Mu Qingtian's hand and rubbed it a few times.
Even Mu Qingtian, who was so nervous, noticed the ambiguity of this action, and frowned slightly.
Wu Tingyun accepted it when he saw it was good, let go of it immediately, and stood beside Mu Qingtian in a well-mannered manner.
Oh, exciting!
After returning home, Mu Qingtian and everyone tidied up the things Wu Tingyun brought back.
"Wow! The patterns on this hand stove are really beautiful." Fu Bao held a small stove and bumped it to Mu Qingtian's side as if offering a treasure, "It's just right for adults."
Yao Qin raised his eyes for a while, then retracted his gaze, and remained silent.These things may seem simple, but they are actually of extraordinary quality, probably from King Qing.When Wu Tingyun went back this time, he must have returned to King Qing.
In order to welcome Wu Tingyun's return, Mu Qingtian held another small reception banquet, which was hosted by Cuizhu and Shuhui, and no one from Fushoutang was invited.
Seeing Mu Qingtian's room filled with his things, His Highness King Qing felt a strange sense of possessiveness and satisfaction.Mu Qingtian, who was surrounded by the quilt of the palace, seemed to be hugged by him.
That's right, His Royal Highness King Qing launched a night raid the first day he came back.
He stood in Mu Qingtian's room for a long time, admiring Mu Qingtian's sleeping face while waiting for the cold to dissipate from his body, then he lifted a corner of the quilt and prepared to lie down.
Suddenly, his expression changed, and his palms acted as claws to grab the thing that attacked him from under the quilt.
The little wolf bit Wu Tingyun's hand tightly with its milk teeth that hadn't fully grown yet, humming while biting.
Wolf?Wu Tingyun's heart suddenly rose, and he was afraid for a while.If he hadn't discovered it early, Mu Qingtian would probably be attacked by wolves that sneaked in in the middle of the night.
Wu Dawei, the wolf Tingyun, shook his gray tail in the void.
"Huh?" Losing the heat source in his arms, Mu Qingtian dazedly touched it twice and opened his eyes.
"Jingyun? Why are you in my room again?" Hey, why did he say "again"?
Seeing what Wu Tingyun was carrying in his hand, Mu Qingtian woke up instantly.
"Put it down quickly, don't freeze!" He rolled over and got out of bed, and without caring about putting on his clothes, he snatched the handsome man and stuffed it back under the quilt.
Wu Tingyun raised his eyebrows, relying on the little wolf's inability to speak, he slapped him and said: "I passed by outside the adult's room at night, and heard something screaming inside, thinking that something happened to the adult."
Mu Qingtian was a little embarrassed, and said, "It must be Yingjun who is barking. I am too busy tonight, so I forgot to feed him."
Wu Tingyun never thought that this little wolf was raised by Mu Qingtian, let alone bought it from Chongming County.He recommended Mu Qingtian to take a look, because he wanted him to buy a big dog that could only guard the house, or a small pet toy to relieve his boredom.Who thought he could bring back a wolf cub.
"My lord, wolves are unfamiliar animals, so it's better to throw them away."
Shocked Mr. Mu for a whole year.
"You just said, what is this?" Mu Qingtian fished out the handsome man and held it in front of Wu Tingyun.
"Wolf."
Wu Tingyun's heart skipped a beat. Judging by Mu Qingtian's reaction, could it be that he didn't know it was a wolf? !
Coincidentally, Mu Qingtian really didn't know.
He held the handsome man over and over to look at it, no matter how he looked at it, it was just a huh, it couldn't be a wolf.
Wu Tingyun sighed, and said: "If adults really like it, it's not impossible to keep it, but you have to teach it how to behave from an early age."
Every year Fanbang tributes many rare and exotic animals, and there are special animal trainers in the palace.He has visited several times and learned a few tricks.
Until noon the next day, Mu Qingtian couldn't digest the fact that his handsome man had changed from a dog to a wolf.Son, Dad is sorry for you, I didn’t know you were a wolf, and even gave you dog milk...
Thinking of this, Mu Qingtian felt extremely regretful, feeling ashamed to face others.
Now that you know that handsome is a wolf, should you still feed him dog milk?
Hello!Of course you have to feed it, otherwise what would it eat!Anyway, they are all close relatives, so it doesn't matter if they eat something.Mu Qingtian said so.
Just in case, Mu Qingtian told the people in the family about Yingjun's real identity.
"As expected of an adult, you can tame wolves!" Jiushi said.
"Others bring vicious dogs with them when they go out, but our adults are different. Bringing wolves is majestic!" Fu Bao said.
Surprisingly, everyone's acceptance of "handsome is a wolf" is quite high.
Another month passed, approaching the end of the new year, each family handed over all the last season's grain taxes to Mu Qingtian for counting.Zhang Fu was nostalgic for the prosperous Chongming County, so he bought another house, and took his wife's wife and several concubines that he favored, and prepared to celebrate the New Year in Chongming County.
"Butler Nian, this amount is wrong." Mu Qingtian pointed at Tian Ce, "The Zhang family's [-] mu of land must pay at least nine stones of land tax."
"How can you do that!" Nian Shun said loudly, "Master has [-] mu of land, which is not bad, but most of it is wasteland, and there is no food at all!"
Mu Qingtian sneered: "Is it my fault if you don't plant the land!"
In the past, Li Canshi and Zhang Fu colluded and turned a blind eye to these wastelands. They only collected a small amount of land tax every year, and the rest was made up with the land rent of the common people.
Now that Mu Qingtian is here, it is naturally impossible to collect them according to the previous method.
"Ninety and five stones, I limit you to pay them within ten days!"
Nian Shun cursed and was kicked out by Yin Shan.
"The rest of the land will continue to be divided, and Zhang Fu must spit it out." Mu Qingtian lowered his eyebrows and nodded on the table.
Nian Shun complained to Zhang Fu, but Zhang Fu asked him if he had recovered the rent for the wasteland.
"It's all accepted, those low bones dare not refuse to pay."
"That's enough, tell Mu Qingtian that the master has no food, let him take those lands away." Zhang Fu waved his hand, leaning on the recliner in the new home to bask in the sun.
"But..." Even if the rent is collected, it is still much less than before!
"If you are told to go, go, where is there so much bullshit."
"Yes."
Zhang Fu handed over the remaining fields in one go, which surprised Mu Qingtian.He carefully checked the field records handed in by Nian Shun, and went to the field for field inspection, but found nothing wrong.
When things go wrong, there must be demons, Mu Qingtian dare not relax.He took the land to offset Zhang Fu's land tax this year.He took out the part of the new land that belonged to the official land, and distributed the rest to the people in Zimingli.
Until the New Year's Eve, Zhang Fu remained silent.
In just half a year, Mingli has undergone earth-shaking changes, and every household is filled with the fragrance of rice, which is something they never dared to think about before.
After selling the last batch of eggs, Mu Qingtian closed the mansion to thank the guests, and concentrated on preparing for the New Year.This is his first year in the Ming Dynasty, so he must take good care of it.
Meanwhile, in Chongming County, Zhang Fu and Yao Jingdao were discussing their poisonous plans.
"Fourth Madam went back to Zimingli to visit her relatives, but she hadn't returned for more than a month, but her body was found in the barren hills of Zimingli, and all the jewelry and silver were missing." Yao Jingdao said calmly.
"Yes, I met the fourth wife on the day of visiting relatives." Zhang Fu agreed with a smile.
"Mu Qingtian, live this year well." Yao Jingdao stood up with his hands behind his back, "From now on, we will have to live in prison."
On the twenty-fourth day of the twelfth lunar month, Mu Qingtian put on the newly made clothes and received everyone in the house in the lobby.
"This official is from Mingli for more than five months. Everyone has contributed to today's achievements." He took out thirteen big red purses and handed them to everyone in person.
"I hope that every year will have today, and every year will have today."
Everyone was about to kneel to thank, Mu Qingtian said again: "If you don't kneel during the New Year's Day, you should straighten your backs!"
Cuizhu took the lead in answering Mu Qingtian's words, saying: "May every year have today, and every year have today."
Every year has today, and every year has today.
When it was time for the New Year's Eve dinner, Mu Qingtian rolled up his sleeves to show everyone his hands, rushed into the chicken coop, and grabbed the chicken for a long time, but he missed the chicken and grabbed all the feathers.
Wu Tingyun held back his laughter, brought Mu Qingtian out, and said, "My lord, these chickens are really cunning."
"that is!"
Shuhui stood aside and her teeth ached.
In the end, it was Xiao San and Lu Shui who came on stage, caught several hens, stewed two of them in soup, and braised the rest in soy sauce.
After the Chinese New Year, He Shengcai's family was the first to visit, bringing a lot of fresh wild vegetables.After that came Wu Yaozu, the steward wanted to come, but the Chinese New Year is the busy time of Fu Shou Tang, so he had to stay to look at the shop.
Before sending Wu Yaozu away, Mu Qingtian stopped him and asked, "How much red gold is left?"
"Thanks to Mr., this spicy lachryma is selling really well, and there are not many left." Wu Yaozu was cheerful, and changed his previous sad expression.
He also knew that he couldn't grow anything in winter, and Mu Qingtian was their benefactor of Fushoutang, so naturally he wouldn't ask for it without knowing his interests.There is no red gold this year, and there will be next year, so it doesn't matter if you earn less.
Mu Qingtian mysteriously took out a piece of paper and stuffed it to Wu Yaozu, saying: "If you don't make spicy food, you can also make garlic and five spice."
Wu Yaozu understood immediately, quickly opened the paper, and after reading the recipe above, his hands were shaking with excitement, and he was about to kneel down to give Mu Qing a big gift.
"Don't kneel."
This time, before Mu Qingtian could speak, Jinshan Yinshan held Wu Yaozu up from left to right.
"Your Excellency said, don't kneel on New Year's Day." Both of them had smiles on their faces.
"Okay." Wu Yaozu agreed.
After several days of excitement, the New Year is finally coming to an end.In the morning and Fubao set off a firecracker battle, and in the afternoon they beat gongs and drums to drive away the "Nian Beast". Mu Qingtian was so tired that he didn't want to move a finger.
It was about to fall into the night, and Mu Qingtian was sitting in the study writing his plans for the next year, when he heard a steady footstep approaching him from far and near.
"My lord." Wu Tingyun slowly opened the door, shaking the wine glass in his hand.
"Would you like to go out for a drink?"
For some reason, Xu was too lonely, Mu Qingtian nodded in a strange way, put out the candle and went out with Wu Tingyun.
Wu Tingyun stepped on the wall and onto the roof two or three times. Looking back, Mu Qingtian was still standing below.
Cursing himself secretly, Wu Tingyun jumped down again, squatted in front of Mu Qingtian, and said, "My lord, come up, I'll carry you up."
Mu Qingtian's heart was beating loudly, looking at Wu Tingyun's back, he slowly lay down on his stomach.
Other boys have climbed books, climbed on the roof and lifted tiles when they were young, but he has never done anything.He is yearning and restrained.Wu Tingyun gave him a chance, a chance to realize his desire.
"I've never seen such a wide and beautiful starry sky..." Lying on the roof, Mu Qingtian admired the vast galaxy.
Wu Tingyun mistakenly thought that he was always bound by the rules of the family, and he could only see the starry sky inside one wall, so he felt distressed.
He has seen the Milky Way in Saibei, which is magnificent and majestic, as if it can suck people into it, the sky and the earth are alone.After returning, he shared this strange and surging mood with his brother Huang, who just smiled and said, "You are blessed."
There are too many involuntary things in life, brother Huang's involuntary, Mu Qingtian's involuntary.If he was born in an ordinary family, he and his brother might be hunting in the mountains at this time; if Mu Qingtian didn't come from Mingli, he would definitely be at ease in Mu Mansion right now.
"My lord, let's have a drink." Wu Tingyun sat up and poured Mu Qingtian a glass of wine, "This is plum wine, it's not strong, you won't get drunk with just one glass."
Mu Qingtian took it and put it under his nose to smell it. Sure enough, he didn't smell any wine, only the sweet and sour aroma of green plums.
"Good wine!" Gan Niang ran across his throat, Mu Qingtian's eyes lit up, and he smacked his lips reluctantly.
Wu Tingyun lowered his brows softly, and refilled another glass for him.
"The bright moon is shining brightly, accompanied by good wine, life is happy."
Mu Qingtian found a sustenance, and was so happy that he drank a few cups in succession.He felt dizzy, but also a little awake.
Green plum wine is not even considered wine in Wu Tingyun's place. It was specially bought for Mu Qingtian to drink. I didn't expect that Mu Qingtian was still too overestimated.
Cuizhu woke up early, felt the unusual cold as soon as she went out, and hurriedly asked someone to burn two more pots of charcoal fire and send them to Mu Qingtian's room.
Seeing Mu Qingtian curled up in the quilt warming his hands, Cui Zhu blamed himself very much.She knew that the conditions in Zimingli were no better than Taicangzhou, so she should take care of the young master at all times to make him live comfortably.
"The servant has neglected the young master, please punish him." Cui Zhu lowered her head and knelt at Mu Qingtian's feet.
Mu Qingtian hurriedly called her up and said, "It's cold on the ground, stand up and talk."
"Young Master." Cui Zhu shook her head, "Young Master is so kind to the servants, but the servants are ungrateful. It is a heinous crime to make the Young Master feel wronged."
Mu Qingtian thought for a while, and said, "Cuizhu, do you think I treat Fubao Fuyuan, Yaoqin, and Lushui well?"
"Of course!" Cuizhu said excitedly, "I have never seen such a kind-hearted young master."
"Really?" Mu Qingtian asked back.
"But I don't feel good about it."
"I left Qin Qin alone to deal with those tyrannical people in Zimingli; I let them use five people to fight against the rioting people; I let you take care of the entire Lizheng/fu; I also let Stop the cloud and go up the mountain to dig the ground in the middle of the night;”
"Yao Qin has lost a lot of weight, and the green water and green mountains have also been injured. Do you think this is 'good'?"
Cuizhu was at a loss for words, she felt something was wrong, but she didn't know how to refute Mu Qingtian.
"These are what slaves should do, and they are not worthy of the young master's mind."
"Really?" Mu Qingtian raised his eyebrows, "The only thing you should do is serve me. After all, you are my maid, not Zimingli's."
"What is 'good'? Cui Zhu, I hope you think about it carefully."
Mu Qingtian treats everyone around him like he treats his friends, he basically has no airs, and he doesn't bully new college students just because of his seniority.
But his "friends" are not "friends and friends" who have no bottom line, but partners who can fight side by side.With him as the center, the entire team is gathered together, each person performs their own duties, and then sends information to him through a solid relationship chain, forming a highly efficient comprehensive processor.
This kind of cooperation mode was learned by Mu Qingtian by ear - when he was in the orphanage, all the children were centered around the headmaster's grandpa, and the older children took care of the younger ones, which not only reduced the burden on the headmaster's grandfather, but also kept things in order.
Seeing that Cui Zhu didn't answer after thinking for a long time, Mu Qingtian could only give her an easy-to-understand example.
"Fubao fell in love with a girl from Zimingli, but this girl has already made an engagement and is going to get married soon. Fubao came to beg me, and I used Lizheng's power to force the two people who were going to get married to separate, and let the girl Girl marry Fubao."
"Master would never do such a thing!" Cui Zhu disagreed.
"Now replace Fu Bao with 'others'. If I don't do this, 'others' will get angry and feel that I'm hypocritical and not 'good' enough for him. Since we are friends, we should do anything for them, even If you don't want to do such a small favor, you can't be regarded as a friend."
"Similarly, if I want to ask him to do something, he will shirk it in every possible way. If he can't shirk it, he will cut corners and be unwilling to do it well."
"Jump out of this circle and look away." Mu Qingtian felt that his hands and feet were almost warm, so he put down his handsome shoes and stood up.
Cuizhu also got up and followed behind him.
"Bottomless tolerance is 'good'. The relationship between me and you can never be summed up by 'good'."
Only now did Cuizhu understand what Mu Qingtian meant.
"My lord, Cuizhu was confused, and got into a dead end for a moment."
She was dissatisfied, dissatisfied that Mu Qingtian was very kind to everyone, and was afraid that her young master would make a wrong payment with all sincerity, thinking that it was only natural for everyone to follow his orders.But she forgot that she and Fuyuan Fubao were the only ones who followed Mu Qingtian in the entire Lizheng/Mansion, and the rest of the people did things with money.
Mu Qingtian nodded in relief, turned his head and continued to look at the sky, pretending to be deep, but what he was thinking about was why Cuizhu was still standing here, he was hungry.
"Ow-!!"
There was a mournful howl from behind, Mu Qingtian and Cuizhu turned their heads at the same time, and found that Yingjun who had fallen asleep on the bed had rolled out of bed at some point, and instinctively leaned against the brazier, only to be burnt to the bone by the fire.
"My dear!" Mu Qingtian strode over to pick up Yingjun and check it to see if it was burned.
"Should I say that you deserve to be a purebred?" Mu Qingtian sighed as he touched the top of its burnt head in distress.
Cui Zhu was a little curious, and said, "Your Excellency, do you know the origin of being handsome?"
Mu Qingtian realized that he had slipped his tongue, so he hurriedly made jokes and got away with it.But when Cui Zhu asked, it reminded him of something.
Were there Huskies in the Ming Dynasty?
Mu Qingtian raised the handsome man, staring at each other with big eyes.Handsome has never been so close to others before, and he immediately becomes cross-eyed.
Well, pure.
Mu Qingtian didn't intend to get entangled so much, after all, there is a supernatural thing called the system in front, so it's not uncommon for Erha to appear.
"It's winter, handsome is still young, adults should prepare a warm nest for it, otherwise it won't be able to withstand this winter."
Mu Qingtian was a little surprised, and said, "Cuizhu, do you still know this?"
Cuizhu was a little embarrassed, and blushed and replied: "I was born as a hunter, and I had hunted with my father several times before entering the mansion. For hunting, my father raised a wild dog at home, and I took care of it."
"Very good." Mu Qingtian nodded solemnly, "From now on, I'll leave you handsome."
The temperature drop in the early morning woke up everyone, everyone shivered and yawned, doing the work that should be done, the cooking that should be done, everything was as usual.
Mu Qingtian went to the field early to check, and found that dozens of acres of official land were well-raised.
"My lord, during your absence, people in the mansion took turns to cultivate, and the common people also came to help, and the grain was received before the end of the last season." Yao Qin said holding a booklet.
"The output of the official land is more than one bucket per mu, and if the land tax is deducted, there will be at least five shi of grain left."
"Okay, okay!" Mu Qingtian couldn't hold his hands together excitedly, "Thank you for your hard work, so that you won't have to worry about food and clothing in winter."
Yao Qin raised the corner of his mouth and said, "Thanks to your lord."
"By the way, Yao Qin, have you written down the names of those people who came to help?"
"It's all here, sir, please have a look." Yao Qin handed over the booklet in his hand.
The records on each page of the booklet are clean and tidy, and well organized, making it a pleasure to look at.
"Aren't you illiterate?" Mu Qingtian wondered, "You wrote this booklet?"
Yao Qin just smiled and said nothing.
In the past, he felt that literacy was not necessary. He only needed to be able to recognize and write the names of medicinal materials.But when Mr. Mu knew that he was illiterate, he felt a little inferior.Later, because of Wu Tingyun, Mu Qingtian no longer entrusted him with the paperwork.
Seeing Wu Tingyun and Mu Qingtian soaking in the study all day, he was jealous and helpless.In order to change the status quo, he started learning characters behind everyone's back.
Before Mu Qingtian left, he was afraid that Yao Qin could not write clearly, so he gave him some money and asked him to invite nearby scholars to record.
"My lord, Yao Qin saved this money for you." Yao Qin untied the purse from his waist and handed it to Mu Qingtian.
Mu Qingtian was so moved that he praised Yao Qin Yiyi.He was not only happy for the money he saved, but also for Yao Qin.Under his influence, Yao Qin took the initiative to learn, which is already a great improvement.
"I didn't expect you to hide such thoughts." Mu Qingtian joked as he repeatedly looked at the embroidery on the purse.
Yao Qin panicked for a moment, and said, "I made adults laugh."
The purse is very new, it looks like it was made recently.The surrounding stitches are densely packed, and it doesn't look like it was made by a man.A pair of mandarin ducks are embroidered on the front of the purse, and red concentric rings are embroidered on the back.
"Just tell me which girl you like, as long as it's a girl from a good family in the boudoir, I'll help you ask."
The light in Yao Qin's eyes dimmed, and he pretended to be happy and said, "Thank you for your kindness first."
Back in Lizheng/Mansion, Mu Qingtian called five people from Lushuiqingshan, sorted out fifty hens according to the roster, packed them, and delivered them to each household in person.
"Well, how did this happen?" The woman who had given Mu Qingtian an egg before repeatedly refused.
"It's just an egg. It's already a great kindness for the adults to take back the world for us. We can't accept this chicken." The middle-aged man who didn't have much affection for Mu Qingtian didn't want to accept it either.
"God is impermanent, relying on the sky to farm is not safe and secure after all. These two chickens are not all for you. If there is a severe drought and famine in the future, it will also let Zimingli have another way of life."
After going door to door, everyone was reluctant to accept the hen at first, but with Mu Qingtian's persuasion, both sides were happy in the end.
He Shengcai contributed the most, and got another one.In order to thank Mu Qingtian, he volunteered to come to Lizheng/Mansion to help surround the chicken coop. Fortunately, he protected it and blocked the outside with wire to prevent weasels from coming in and stealing chickens.
Looking at the chicken farm that had begun to take shape, Mu Qingtian wiped off the sweat from his brow, filled with satisfaction and pride.The sense of accomplishment from scratch is the charm of poverty alleviation.
Some people heard that Mu Qingtian was distributing hens, and they all looked forward to it, but they didn't see Mu Qingtian come to the door after waiting all day.Impatient and unable to wait, he knocked on the door and asked sideways.Mu Qingtian saw their intentions and didn't expose them. He even took them to visit the huge chicken farm in the backyard without showing them.
Sell the last harvested peppers to Fu Shou Tang, and all the tasks before the New Year's Day will be completed.Such outstanding achievements cannot be achieved without the efforts of everyone in Lizheng/fu.Mu Qingtian decided to hold a small banquet at his own expense, as a treat, and by the way, look forward to the future and inspire everyone's fighting spirit.
Fu Shou Tang's business is booming, and it has become the largest restaurant in Chongming County from the close of closing.When Wu Yaozu heard that Mu Qingtian was going to hold a banquet, he picked the best chef in the restaurant without saying a word, and went to Zimingli with the fresh and rare fruits, vegetables and meat of the season.Of course, all for free.
In the evening three days later, smoke rose from cooking in the Lizheng/Mansion, and everyone was busy with joy.Yaoqin Xiaosan and Lushuiqingshan drank totteringly, Fubao and Fuyuan also squeezed together to grab food, Cuizhu laughed at the two of them for their lack of restraint, everyone was enjoying the joy of this moment.
Mu Qingtian sat on the main seat and sipped tea. He was out of tune with the noise and was extremely lonely.He seems to have returned to modern times. He couldn't get involved in the New Year's Eve dinner in the orphanage or the flowing water banquet in Xiaoheye Village.
"I'll bring two more dishes, you guys continue." Mu Qingtian stood up, and gestured to hold down Qiqi who was looking towards him.
Strolling to the entrance of the Lizheng/Mansion, Mu Qingtian sat on the threshold with his hands up, watching the sunset with his chin resting on his hands.It has been almost half a year since he traveled to the Ming Dynasty, and he has gradually adapted to the life here, and he has stood firm...
"Sir? Sir?"
Mu Qingtian shuddered and looked around.Who is calling him?
Shuhui came out from the wall with a bowl in her hand, and said coyly, "Sir, can I have another pair of bowls and chopsticks?"
……
"Let's not act like a beggar next time, okay?"
Shuhui was crying, and the rascal said: "Mr. won't give me food, I'm really going to be a beggar."
Where could Mu Qingtian let Shuhui, a weak woman, was wandering outside, so he brought her into the mansion.In the middle of the walk, he remembered that he was going to serve food, so he made a detour to the kitchen, and noticed that there was a pair of bowls and chopsticks missing from the table.
"Where did you get the bowl in your hand?"
"Hey, yes, the door is also open..."
The corners of Mu Qingtian's eyes twitched fiercely, but he couldn't do anything to Shuhui.It's self-evident whether the aura is wrong or the magnetic field is wrong, no matter how they come one by one, it's like a different person.
Mu Qingtian brought her a large bowl of compacted rice, and brought her two dishes of cold vegetables and pastries back to the hall.
As soon as Shuhui appeared, she attracted the attention of the audience, but she was still acquainted, sitting next to the green bamboo with a bowl in her arms, she was not polite, poked at the braised elbow on the table, and smashed off a large piece Put the meat with red skin into your own bowl.
"Uh, this one is, is..."
The moment Xiao San saw Shuhui, she lowered her head and just buried her head in cooking, not wanting to recognize anyone at all.
"Ting Yun's distant cousin." Mu Qingtian laughed a few times.
Xiao San almost spit out a mouthful of rice.Ah, but there's nothing wrong with saying that.
Cui Zhu reacted the most, leaning toward Fu Yuan in disgust.Distant cousin?Why come from Mingli and enter the mansion?Judging by the way she eats, she is really not educated at all, maybe she is a country girl who came from somewhere, and she heard that her cousin has climbed a high branch, and she wants to share a piece of the pie out of self-control.
Mu Qingtian was stunned, he had never seen such a person who could eat so wildly.It's not, it's not...
Isn't this the way of life he envied most!Eat meat and drink heavily, don't worry about anything, just enjoy the food!
Thinking about it, Mu Qingtian looked at Shuhui more lovingly, and pushed the food in front of her towards her, saying: "Eat more, don't starve yourself, just eat enough."
"Oh, thank you!" Shuhui didn't even have time to say a word.
Yao Qin's eyes darkened, he turned back and forth on Mu Qingtian and Shuhui, and finally met Cuizhu's eyes.The two nodded in tacit understanding, unanimously speaking, staring at Shuhui with the same hatred.
You Shuhui was at the bottom, and the food that was originally a lot came to an end in an instant.Fortunately, everyone is full, and it doesn't hurt to give Shuhui the rest of the meal.
Shuhui wandered around for a long time, worked as a beggar, robbed officialdom, and was still a wild lunatic when Zhu Jingshou picked her up. She didn't know how to use chopsticks, and she only ate with her hands.Zhu Youtang sent the most experienced and patient nanny in the palace to teach Shuhui in Prince Qing's Mansion. It was like this, and Shuhui finally became "smooth in advancing and retreating" after a year.
After Mammy returned home, she was seriously ill, and Shuhui was always in her dreams.
The habit from childhood has been engraved in Shuhui's bone marrow, she can't change it, she can only pretend.She can play another person, a gentle and kind woman who is knowledgeable and polite.But in front of people close to her, she will still reveal some of her true nature.
Xiaoyi was the first victim. He fell in love with Shuhui at first sight and was extremely gentle. In the end, he successfully uncovered Shuhui's disguise and saw her inside.Xiao San still remembers the scene at that time, and she doesn't want to recall it again.
The term "evil ghost upper body" circulated in Jinyiwei refers to Shuhui.
She has a good sense of people, and she has the smell of a witch in her.Although hazy, he felt that Mu Qingtian and Prince Qing would be an inseparable whole in the future.Please please Mu Qingtian in advance, and then show Mu Qingtian the most "sincere" and "real" side, so that we can meet each other in the future!
After the dinner party, Cui Zhu uncharacteristically begged to see Mu Qingtian.
"Cuizhu, it's just in time." Mu Qingtian waved her hand, "Shuhui is new here, and she's a girl again, please take care of her. Tomorrow I'll ask Fubao to buy a few quilts and a few charcoal basins for everyone to share. "
"My lord, there are doubts about Shuhui's origin, do you really want to let her stay here?" Cuizhu said.
"Ok?"
"Didn't I say that she is Wu Tingyun's distant cousin, and she is considered a half acquaintance?"
Cuizhu didn't know what to say to Mu Qingtian, and was also afraid that he was really interested in Shuhui.It's not that she has any thoughts that she shouldn't have. If one day Mu Qingtian gets married, she will treat his wife the same as she treats him, and serve her wholeheartedly.But she absolutely cannot accept a barbaric woman like Shuhui as Mu Qingtian's main wife, and she will never approve of it.
"Wu Tingyun is a good person, but it doesn't mean that his cousin is also a good person. Who knows what kind of thoughts she has come here..." Cuizhu said the last part of the sentence in a very low voice.
"Don't worry, we met once when we were in Chongming County, I know what she is like." Mu Qingtian has always been clueless about emotional matters.
exist!worship!bright!county!At once!See!Pass!up!
Cuizhu is full of vigilance and vigilance, and her impression of Shuhui is already so bad.It's not good when to appear, but to appear when her adults are alone with Wu Tingyun, it is definitely with bad intentions!
"Since your lord said so, Cuizhu can rest assured." She smirked and exited the room.
There are also some tricks, which can deceive her young master, and even poured the young master with ecstasy soup, so that the young master will turn to her, which should not be underestimated.We must find a way to reveal her true face, and we cannot let this kind of person entrust the young master into the quagmire.
Yao Qin was also unable to sleep.He lay on the bed rubbing the purse in his hand, laughing and worrying for a while, his heart was full of Mu Qingtian.
The woman who appeared at the banquet today was very suspicious. Master Mu said that she was Wu Tingyun's distant cousin, but although she was crazy, her steps were extremely restrained and steady, unlike a country woman.
Previously, he thought that Mu Qingtian had finally sensed his intentions, but he didn't expect it to be just joy.
But that's fine too.No one can guess Master Mu's mind, if he thinks he is disgusting and immoral, it will not do him any good to pierce the window paper.The days are still long, and when the time comes, he will speak out.
Shuhui is very diligent and always helps Cuizhu to work without asking for anything in return, which makes Cuizhu doubt her motives even more.
It's not that easy to bribe me!
Cuizhu deliberately asked her to take the clothes to the river to wash, and did not give her a washboard.After winter, the stream at the foot of the mountain becomes extremely cold, and no one wants to soak their hands in such water to wash clothes.Everyone fetches water and boils it at home, or washes it after it is not too cold.
"Hiss, it's really cold." Shuhui put her hand into the water, and it was so cold.
After fighting the ghosts and ghosts in Chongming County, Shuhui was even a little moved by Cuizhu's tricks.No poisoning, no framing, just let her wash her clothes, what a kind person!She used to wash clothes in the icy river in the twelfth lunar month, compared with that, it was much worse.
Cuizhu didn't expect Shuhui to come back so soon, and thought she was lazy and didn't wash it seriously, so she grabbed the basins and checked them one by one.Every piece of clothing was clean and smelled of acacia.
She put down the clothes resentfully, and ordered Shuhui to say, "Don't hang it up after washing!"
"Okay." Shuhui stretched out her hand to pick up the basin.
Cuizhu noticed her hands that were red from the cold, and immediately regretted it.The young master treats people kindly, but she is secretly bullying others. If the young master finds out, he will definitely be upset.
"Forget it, leave it alone, I'll go to dry it." Cuizhu waved her hand irritably, "Come with me first."
Taking Shuhui back to her room, Cuizhu rummaged through it, found a bottle of chilblain ointment, dug out a small piece and applied it on Shuhui's joints.
Now Shuhui can't understand.
"Don't wash it tomorrow, go to the kitchen and help me."
Cuizhu decides to change her strategy, no longer embarrassing Shuhui, but staring at her all the time, never letting her have a chance to get close to Mu Qingtian.
Looking at the two people who went in and out together like sisters, Mu Qingtian: The old father is relieved.jpg
The more Shuhui thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong, and finally, on the day Zhu Jingshou came back, she realized it.
Early in the morning, Cuizhu was woken up by Shuhui and taken to a remote and uninhabited corner.After getting along for ten days, she found that Shuhui is very kind in nature and good at taking care of others.Although she kept telling herself that she couldn't remember Zhong Shuhui's memory, she couldn't stand the gentle offensive, so she drank the "Ecstasy Soup" willingly.
"Just talk about things, why come to this kind of place." Cuizhu rubbed her arms, looked at Shuhui and said.
"...What's your expression?"
Next, Cuizhu experienced the most shocking 3 minutes of her life.
"I'm sorry! You are a good person, and I like you very much!"
"But there will be no result between us, I'm really sorry!"
Cuizhu was stunned for a while before realizing what Shuhui was talking about, and immediately turned dark.
"Go get a dry ladle."
"What are you doing?" Shuhui blinked.
"Smash your skull!!"
Zhu Jingshou brought a lot of things back this time, most of them were rewards from the palace, and there were also several thick clothes made for him by the emperor's wife.Zhu Jingshou thought it was good, so he had the cheek to ask Mu Qingtian for a woolen jacket, but he delayed for a while.
He got off the car at Suzhou Mansion, changed into a mask, and put all the things that were too conspicuous in the other courtyard. He only took clothes and small practical items, bought some bacon and duck, and took these things back to Zimingli.
Mu Qingtian trotted out to greet him, saying, "I'll bring something when I come back", but my eyes were fixed on the things on the bullock cart and couldn't move away.
Wu Tingyun laughed, and handed over the car to Jinshan to let him unload the goods. He naturally stepped forward and covered Mu Qingtian's hand, and said: "It's such a cold day, sir, just wait in the mansion and go back next time, no need Come out and greet."
After finishing speaking, he still took a breath of hot air on Mu Qingtian's hand and rubbed it a few times.
Even Mu Qingtian, who was so nervous, noticed the ambiguity of this action, and frowned slightly.
Wu Tingyun accepted it when he saw it was good, let go of it immediately, and stood beside Mu Qingtian in a well-mannered manner.
Oh, exciting!
After returning home, Mu Qingtian and everyone tidied up the things Wu Tingyun brought back.
"Wow! The patterns on this hand stove are really beautiful." Fu Bao held a small stove and bumped it to Mu Qingtian's side as if offering a treasure, "It's just right for adults."
Yao Qin raised his eyes for a while, then retracted his gaze, and remained silent.These things may seem simple, but they are actually of extraordinary quality, probably from King Qing.When Wu Tingyun went back this time, he must have returned to King Qing.
In order to welcome Wu Tingyun's return, Mu Qingtian held another small reception banquet, which was hosted by Cuizhu and Shuhui, and no one from Fushoutang was invited.
Seeing Mu Qingtian's room filled with his things, His Highness King Qing felt a strange sense of possessiveness and satisfaction.Mu Qingtian, who was surrounded by the quilt of the palace, seemed to be hugged by him.
That's right, His Royal Highness King Qing launched a night raid the first day he came back.
He stood in Mu Qingtian's room for a long time, admiring Mu Qingtian's sleeping face while waiting for the cold to dissipate from his body, then he lifted a corner of the quilt and prepared to lie down.
Suddenly, his expression changed, and his palms acted as claws to grab the thing that attacked him from under the quilt.
The little wolf bit Wu Tingyun's hand tightly with its milk teeth that hadn't fully grown yet, humming while biting.
Wolf?Wu Tingyun's heart suddenly rose, and he was afraid for a while.If he hadn't discovered it early, Mu Qingtian would probably be attacked by wolves that sneaked in in the middle of the night.
Wu Dawei, the wolf Tingyun, shook his gray tail in the void.
"Huh?" Losing the heat source in his arms, Mu Qingtian dazedly touched it twice and opened his eyes.
"Jingyun? Why are you in my room again?" Hey, why did he say "again"?
Seeing what Wu Tingyun was carrying in his hand, Mu Qingtian woke up instantly.
"Put it down quickly, don't freeze!" He rolled over and got out of bed, and without caring about putting on his clothes, he snatched the handsome man and stuffed it back under the quilt.
Wu Tingyun raised his eyebrows, relying on the little wolf's inability to speak, he slapped him and said: "I passed by outside the adult's room at night, and heard something screaming inside, thinking that something happened to the adult."
Mu Qingtian was a little embarrassed, and said, "It must be Yingjun who is barking. I am too busy tonight, so I forgot to feed him."
Wu Tingyun never thought that this little wolf was raised by Mu Qingtian, let alone bought it from Chongming County.He recommended Mu Qingtian to take a look, because he wanted him to buy a big dog that could only guard the house, or a small pet toy to relieve his boredom.Who thought he could bring back a wolf cub.
"My lord, wolves are unfamiliar animals, so it's better to throw them away."
Shocked Mr. Mu for a whole year.
"You just said, what is this?" Mu Qingtian fished out the handsome man and held it in front of Wu Tingyun.
"Wolf."
Wu Tingyun's heart skipped a beat. Judging by Mu Qingtian's reaction, could it be that he didn't know it was a wolf? !
Coincidentally, Mu Qingtian really didn't know.
He held the handsome man over and over to look at it, no matter how he looked at it, it was just a huh, it couldn't be a wolf.
Wu Tingyun sighed, and said: "If adults really like it, it's not impossible to keep it, but you have to teach it how to behave from an early age."
Every year Fanbang tributes many rare and exotic animals, and there are special animal trainers in the palace.He has visited several times and learned a few tricks.
Until noon the next day, Mu Qingtian couldn't digest the fact that his handsome man had changed from a dog to a wolf.Son, Dad is sorry for you, I didn’t know you were a wolf, and even gave you dog milk...
Thinking of this, Mu Qingtian felt extremely regretful, feeling ashamed to face others.
Now that you know that handsome is a wolf, should you still feed him dog milk?
Hello!Of course you have to feed it, otherwise what would it eat!Anyway, they are all close relatives, so it doesn't matter if they eat something.Mu Qingtian said so.
Just in case, Mu Qingtian told the people in the family about Yingjun's real identity.
"As expected of an adult, you can tame wolves!" Jiushi said.
"Others bring vicious dogs with them when they go out, but our adults are different. Bringing wolves is majestic!" Fu Bao said.
Surprisingly, everyone's acceptance of "handsome is a wolf" is quite high.
Another month passed, approaching the end of the new year, each family handed over all the last season's grain taxes to Mu Qingtian for counting.Zhang Fu was nostalgic for the prosperous Chongming County, so he bought another house, and took his wife's wife and several concubines that he favored, and prepared to celebrate the New Year in Chongming County.
"Butler Nian, this amount is wrong." Mu Qingtian pointed at Tian Ce, "The Zhang family's [-] mu of land must pay at least nine stones of land tax."
"How can you do that!" Nian Shun said loudly, "Master has [-] mu of land, which is not bad, but most of it is wasteland, and there is no food at all!"
Mu Qingtian sneered: "Is it my fault if you don't plant the land!"
In the past, Li Canshi and Zhang Fu colluded and turned a blind eye to these wastelands. They only collected a small amount of land tax every year, and the rest was made up with the land rent of the common people.
Now that Mu Qingtian is here, it is naturally impossible to collect them according to the previous method.
"Ninety and five stones, I limit you to pay them within ten days!"
Nian Shun cursed and was kicked out by Yin Shan.
"The rest of the land will continue to be divided, and Zhang Fu must spit it out." Mu Qingtian lowered his eyebrows and nodded on the table.
Nian Shun complained to Zhang Fu, but Zhang Fu asked him if he had recovered the rent for the wasteland.
"It's all accepted, those low bones dare not refuse to pay."
"That's enough, tell Mu Qingtian that the master has no food, let him take those lands away." Zhang Fu waved his hand, leaning on the recliner in the new home to bask in the sun.
"But..." Even if the rent is collected, it is still much less than before!
"If you are told to go, go, where is there so much bullshit."
"Yes."
Zhang Fu handed over the remaining fields in one go, which surprised Mu Qingtian.He carefully checked the field records handed in by Nian Shun, and went to the field for field inspection, but found nothing wrong.
When things go wrong, there must be demons, Mu Qingtian dare not relax.He took the land to offset Zhang Fu's land tax this year.He took out the part of the new land that belonged to the official land, and distributed the rest to the people in Zimingli.
Until the New Year's Eve, Zhang Fu remained silent.
In just half a year, Mingli has undergone earth-shaking changes, and every household is filled with the fragrance of rice, which is something they never dared to think about before.
After selling the last batch of eggs, Mu Qingtian closed the mansion to thank the guests, and concentrated on preparing for the New Year.This is his first year in the Ming Dynasty, so he must take good care of it.
Meanwhile, in Chongming County, Zhang Fu and Yao Jingdao were discussing their poisonous plans.
"Fourth Madam went back to Zimingli to visit her relatives, but she hadn't returned for more than a month, but her body was found in the barren hills of Zimingli, and all the jewelry and silver were missing." Yao Jingdao said calmly.
"Yes, I met the fourth wife on the day of visiting relatives." Zhang Fu agreed with a smile.
"Mu Qingtian, live this year well." Yao Jingdao stood up with his hands behind his back, "From now on, we will have to live in prison."
On the twenty-fourth day of the twelfth lunar month, Mu Qingtian put on the newly made clothes and received everyone in the house in the lobby.
"This official is from Mingli for more than five months. Everyone has contributed to today's achievements." He took out thirteen big red purses and handed them to everyone in person.
"I hope that every year will have today, and every year will have today."
Everyone was about to kneel to thank, Mu Qingtian said again: "If you don't kneel during the New Year's Day, you should straighten your backs!"
Cuizhu took the lead in answering Mu Qingtian's words, saying: "May every year have today, and every year have today."
Every year has today, and every year has today.
When it was time for the New Year's Eve dinner, Mu Qingtian rolled up his sleeves to show everyone his hands, rushed into the chicken coop, and grabbed the chicken for a long time, but he missed the chicken and grabbed all the feathers.
Wu Tingyun held back his laughter, brought Mu Qingtian out, and said, "My lord, these chickens are really cunning."
"that is!"
Shuhui stood aside and her teeth ached.
In the end, it was Xiao San and Lu Shui who came on stage, caught several hens, stewed two of them in soup, and braised the rest in soy sauce.
After the Chinese New Year, He Shengcai's family was the first to visit, bringing a lot of fresh wild vegetables.After that came Wu Yaozu, the steward wanted to come, but the Chinese New Year is the busy time of Fu Shou Tang, so he had to stay to look at the shop.
Before sending Wu Yaozu away, Mu Qingtian stopped him and asked, "How much red gold is left?"
"Thanks to Mr., this spicy lachryma is selling really well, and there are not many left." Wu Yaozu was cheerful, and changed his previous sad expression.
He also knew that he couldn't grow anything in winter, and Mu Qingtian was their benefactor of Fushoutang, so naturally he wouldn't ask for it without knowing his interests.There is no red gold this year, and there will be next year, so it doesn't matter if you earn less.
Mu Qingtian mysteriously took out a piece of paper and stuffed it to Wu Yaozu, saying: "If you don't make spicy food, you can also make garlic and five spice."
Wu Yaozu understood immediately, quickly opened the paper, and after reading the recipe above, his hands were shaking with excitement, and he was about to kneel down to give Mu Qing a big gift.
"Don't kneel."
This time, before Mu Qingtian could speak, Jinshan Yinshan held Wu Yaozu up from left to right.
"Your Excellency said, don't kneel on New Year's Day." Both of them had smiles on their faces.
"Okay." Wu Yaozu agreed.
After several days of excitement, the New Year is finally coming to an end.In the morning and Fubao set off a firecracker battle, and in the afternoon they beat gongs and drums to drive away the "Nian Beast". Mu Qingtian was so tired that he didn't want to move a finger.
It was about to fall into the night, and Mu Qingtian was sitting in the study writing his plans for the next year, when he heard a steady footstep approaching him from far and near.
"My lord." Wu Tingyun slowly opened the door, shaking the wine glass in his hand.
"Would you like to go out for a drink?"
For some reason, Xu was too lonely, Mu Qingtian nodded in a strange way, put out the candle and went out with Wu Tingyun.
Wu Tingyun stepped on the wall and onto the roof two or three times. Looking back, Mu Qingtian was still standing below.
Cursing himself secretly, Wu Tingyun jumped down again, squatted in front of Mu Qingtian, and said, "My lord, come up, I'll carry you up."
Mu Qingtian's heart was beating loudly, looking at Wu Tingyun's back, he slowly lay down on his stomach.
Other boys have climbed books, climbed on the roof and lifted tiles when they were young, but he has never done anything.He is yearning and restrained.Wu Tingyun gave him a chance, a chance to realize his desire.
"I've never seen such a wide and beautiful starry sky..." Lying on the roof, Mu Qingtian admired the vast galaxy.
Wu Tingyun mistakenly thought that he was always bound by the rules of the family, and he could only see the starry sky inside one wall, so he felt distressed.
He has seen the Milky Way in Saibei, which is magnificent and majestic, as if it can suck people into it, the sky and the earth are alone.After returning, he shared this strange and surging mood with his brother Huang, who just smiled and said, "You are blessed."
There are too many involuntary things in life, brother Huang's involuntary, Mu Qingtian's involuntary.If he was born in an ordinary family, he and his brother might be hunting in the mountains at this time; if Mu Qingtian didn't come from Mingli, he would definitely be at ease in Mu Mansion right now.
"My lord, let's have a drink." Wu Tingyun sat up and poured Mu Qingtian a glass of wine, "This is plum wine, it's not strong, you won't get drunk with just one glass."
Mu Qingtian took it and put it under his nose to smell it. Sure enough, he didn't smell any wine, only the sweet and sour aroma of green plums.
"Good wine!" Gan Niang ran across his throat, Mu Qingtian's eyes lit up, and he smacked his lips reluctantly.
Wu Tingyun lowered his brows softly, and refilled another glass for him.
"The bright moon is shining brightly, accompanied by good wine, life is happy."
Mu Qingtian found a sustenance, and was so happy that he drank a few cups in succession.He felt dizzy, but also a little awake.
Green plum wine is not even considered wine in Wu Tingyun's place. It was specially bought for Mu Qingtian to drink. I didn't expect that Mu Qingtian was still too overestimated.
