Raiders of the demon concubine who crossed

Concubine Zhou did not expect Mr. Ru Tie to be so ignorant of flattery, if she was in Prince Cheng's mansion, she would have been slapped by someone, but right now she has something to ask for, and Prince Rui was watching, so Concubine Zhou could only swallow her anger, He forced a smile and said, "My lord, can you find an imperial doctor to take a look? I just brought some pearls over here, and it would be best for you to grind them into powder to suppress the alarm."

Concubine Zhou raised her hand to a personal maid, and the maid immediately presented a brocade box, opened it in front of the iron face, and it was filled with round, crystal-clear pearls the size of a thumb.

so much? !

Ru Tie was a little dazzled at once, and Concubine Zhou looked at his face, and said proudly: "This is just a trivial matter, if the young master is willing to raise his noble hand, there will be a big gift in return."

Since it's a private visit, gifts are indispensable.Although Concubine Zhou's words were not pleasant to listen to, there was no need to make things difficult for the gift, Ru Tie felt itchy in her heart, anyway, it was just a sentence of not forgiving, and it might not be effective.

Mu Chengyuan suddenly said: "Xiao Tie, since you are not feeling well, then sit down and watch slowly."

Ru Tie's back goes numb, what the hell is Prince Rui doing, what is he calling so intimate all of a sudden?

He reluctantly glanced at the pearls in the box, Prince Rui pointed out the location beside him, and the crowd had no choice but to follow.He walked over and sat down quietly, so that he was far away from Concubine Zhou.Concubine Zhou still had many deceptive words that she could not utter, so she could only bless Prince Rui, turned her head to Mu Chengpei and said, "Pei'er, come and apologize quickly. If Mr. Tie is open-minded, he will definitely not embarrass us of."

Concubine Zhou's words were full of needles, and she was silent for a while. Could it be that she is narrow-minded if she doesn't forgive?If it wasn't for Pearl's sake, he would definitely go back straight away.

"I was so sorry last time."

Mu Chengpei cupped his hands reluctantly, his face stiffened. He assumed his noble status as the prince's son, and bowing his head to a male favorite was already the limit.

Concubine Zhou reprimanded: "Pei'er, since you know you are wrong, keep your eyes open in the future. For example, Mr. Tie is a member of His Highness Prince Rui, so you can provoke him at will?"

Mu Chengpei nodded repeatedly, but Ru Tie couldn't listen anymore.

Prince Rui's people can't be provoked at will, just dare to love ordinary people?

What the Ministry of Punishment wants to decide is fraud, not disrespect to the royal family. Mu Chengpei and Concubine Zhou don't know what is wrong?

He glanced at the pearl one last time, a gentleman loves money, but not everything can be exchanged for money.

Ru Tie cleared his throat, and said solemnly: "My concubine, Mr. Mu is wrong, the fault is that he instigated Zhao Da to extort people's money, not that he offended Prince Rui's mansion. Apart from me, Mr. Mu has also caused other common people to suffer. It's useless to ask me to forgive you."

King Cheng and Concubine Zhou were stunned when they heard the words. How dare a mere male favorite dare to refute them? !

Ru Tietu was happy, and he regretted it as soon as he finished speaking. Everything he said was true, but it was equivalent to stripping off the face of Prince Cheng's mansion in public.

Could it be causing trouble for Prince Rui's Palace again?

Ru Tie glanced guiltily at Prince Rui, Prince Rui's complexion was as usual, and then at Side Concubine Zhou and Mu Chengpei, one face was ashen, the other was pale, luckily he was sitting beside Prince Rui, otherwise, he would have been a little bit Worried that Concubine Zhou's Danko painted nails would scratch his face.

There seemed to be a faint light flickering in the corner of his eyes, Ru Tie lowered his head intently, only to see His Highness Prince Rui showing a section of his thumb sticking out from under the wide sleeve of his robe.

He suddenly understood why Mu Chengyuan called him intimately for the first time, not only to support him, but also to remind him to think twice, it turned out that Prince Rui didn't want him to forgive Mu Chengpei just because of this.

... This person is so heartbroken, it's enough to let Dan Gonggong convey it, why can't he do it?

Ru Tie silently gestured his middle finger, but with Prince Rui's support, he had the bottom line, so it was expected that Prince Cheng's House would not dare to do anything.

Concubine Zhou gritted her teeth and said, "So, you won't forgive Pei'er?"

This is obviously not the point!Ru Tie was very speechless about Zhou's concubine's understanding, so he had to repeat it again: "My concubine, I have already said that Mr. Mu's fault is that he deceived the people. If the people are willing to forgive Mr. Mu, I am one of the people. Of course, there is nothing to say."

What a member of the people!Mu Ziyue's eyes darkened, and he stopped Concubine Zhou before she was about to scold her, and said in a deep voice, "Could it be that you want Cheng Pei to apologize to the people?"

Ru Tie said: "I'm just making an analogy... But if Mr. Mu really did it, at least it shows that Mr. Mu is very repentant. As for whether the Ministry of punishment will be exonerated because of this, I can't say anything."

He can be said to be telling the truth, but in Mu Ziyue's view, it is because this person just shirks and is not willing to show up. Mu Ziyue secretly hates him, and it is impossible for him to force the favored young master of Prince Rui's residence in front of Prince Rui.The more Muzi needed a step down, he thought for a while and said: "Okay, then I will ask Cheng Pei to do it!"

"Father, how can I go to those people..."

Mu Chengpei is anxious, is it not enough to bow his head to a male favorite, but also to look at cats and dogs outside?

"Cheng Pei, shut up for me!"

Mu Ziyue glared at Mu Chengpei angrily, if it wasn't for this dishonest boy, why would he come to Prince Rui's residence to embarrass himself?

Mu Chengpei immediately shrank his neck and became limp.

"Uncle Cheng." Mu Chengyuan had been watching the play, and at this moment Fang said: "Nephew Rong, remind me that the law is not a trifling matter."

If Ru Tie was a polite refusal, Mu Chengyuan would just tell King Cheng directly that it is useless to be clever.Who said that if you forgive, you don't have to be punished?Does forgiveness of past crimes mean that you can write it off?Then who will take the law seriously in the future?

"thanks for reminding."

Mu Ziyue arched his hands coldly, and withdrew Mu Chengpei, who almost bit his silver teeth, and the mighty Chengcheng army to leave. There was not a single pearl in the box. fall.

It is said that King Cheng is not sincere at all.

Ru Tie raised his head, but still failed to find the sixth son, but among the several sons of Prince Cheng's residence, one slowly fell behind, and returned to the Shanhai hall to pay respects to Mu Chengyuan.

Mu Chengyuan raised his eyebrows in surprise: "Chenghuan, what's the matter with you?"

"Brother Rui." The fifth son of Prince Cheng's Mansion scratched his face in embarrassment, and tentatively said, "The dim sum in your mansion is quite delicious and... quite interesting, can you let me take some away?"

He smacked his lips as he spoke, as if reminiscing.

The dim sum that Mu Chenghuan was referring to was none other than the zongzi made by Uncle Sun under the guidance of Ru Tie.In the past few days, Uncle Sun has cooked almost all the flavors he could make, and everyone in Prince Rui's Mansion became the first batch of tasters. Aunt Sun had a clever idea, wrapping the rice dumplings exquisitely and cutely, and wrapping them with five-colored thin threads specially. , the servants saw that it had a special flavor, so they directly took it and placed it on the dim sum plate for Shanhai Hall.

It's just that Prince Cheng's mansion came here in a hurry, and he didn't notice the snacks served in the Shanhai Hall for entertaining guests, and Ru Tie didn't expect that some people secretly ate something while Prince Cheng was discussing with Prince Rui.

This son who doesn't know who he is... seems to be called Mu Chenghuan, and it's quite funny.

Grin like iron.

The corners of Mu Chengyuan's mouth twitched twice, he was speechless to this incomprehensible cousin, and said, "You can do whatever you want."

Mu Chenghuan happily said: "Thank you, Brother Rui!"

He took two of the rice dumplings from the plate on the case table, and he was still a little unsatisfied, so he simply took out all the rice dumplings inside, put them on a clean handkerchief, wrapped them up and put them in his arms, and was about to say goodbye.

Mu Chengyuan: "..."

Let him do whatever he wants, but he actually took all this stuff away, it's really rude.

"Mr. Mu, Mr. Mu!" Ru Tie stepped forward to stop Mu Chenghuan, and took the opportunity to advertise for the snack shop, "This zongzi is made by Uncle Sun. After a while, we will open a shop in the imperial city, specializing in zongzi. There are a few other snacks, if Mr. Mu likes this rice dumpling, you can go and have a look."

"Really?" Mu Chenghuan's eyes sparkled brightly, and he said excitedly, "Is it fun to open a shop?"

Ru Tie: "..."

It seems that Mr. Mu not only likes to eat, but also likes to play?

Ru Tie suppressed a smile and said, "It's very hard to open a shop."

"Oh." Mu Chenghuan immediately changed his words: "Then I'll just go and eat."

He asked Ru Tie carefully about the store's location, opening date, and what delicious food there would be, and left contentedly.

Mu Chengyuan listened openly from the side, after all he also had a share in this store, but Xuan Liang would not report everything in detail, and Prince Rui didn't know what new tricks Ru Tie had come up with. It's not particularly unpalatable, it's like iron, and it's still somewhat capable.

There was no one left in Shanhai Hall, Ru Tie wanted to leave directly, but Mu Chengyuan stopped him, and said uncomfortably: "You did a good job just now."

Master Ru Tie is a clever ghost.Mu Chengyuan thought that most shrewd people would choose to be aware of current affairs. After all, accepting Mu Chengpei's apology and handling it properly can resolve the grievances between the two sides, and can also make King Cheng look at him differently.When Mu Chengyuan reminded Ru Tie through Pu Gonggong, he actually didn’t hold out too much hope. If Ru Tie really accepted the concubine Zhou’s things, he wouldn’t make things difficult for others, but Ru Tie refused on the grounds of the common people. , It was really beyond his expectations, although this guy is a bit open to money, he can see straight with a few pearls, but when it comes to big right and wrong, he knows the importance and the trade-offs. No matter how much he cares, Mu Chengyuan's affection for Ru Tie has risen a little bit with difficulty, and it's only a little bit.

Ru iron rules: "Thank you for your praise, I'm just telling the truth. I hope I didn't cause trouble for Your Highness."

According to his temperament, if others praised him, he would definitely say something to him without shame, but he had to restrain himself in front of the revengeful Prince Rui.If I remember correctly, he and Prince Rui were still in the cold war period, and he was slandering why Prince Rui had suddenly changed his temper. When he raised his eyes, he saw a faint smile on the corner of His Highness Prince Rui's mouth, as if he was stunned. Dazed, he turned his face away in annoyance, and decided to go back to Aoshuang Courtyard to wash his eyes and never be fooled by Prince Rui's face again.

Mu Chengyuan felt a little relieved and said: "You can think that way, you have made some progress. As for your shop..."

Ru Tie suddenly became alert: "Your Highness, it's not mine alone, it's everyone's!"

Mu Chengyuan wondered if this guy had misunderstood, frowned and said: "What are you doing so nervous. I just remind you, since you know that opening a shop is hard work, why bother to do it yourself, just find someone you can trust, and just order it."

"..."

Ru Tie thought in horror, is he caring about me?

No, no, [-]% because of opening a store, I have to show my face, which makes me unhappy!

Ru Tie explained bluntly: "Your Highness, I have asked for instructions before. I usually only help out in the back kitchen, and I will settle the accounts when I come back."

...to settle accounts? ?

Prince Rui heard the incredible news. These days, Ru Tie wrote a few things that were vaguely recipes for Uncle Sun, but Uncle Sun couldn't understand them. In addition, Pu Gonggong manipulated them secretly, and asked him all the way. Mu Chengyuan At first glance, Ru Tie's rotten handwriting looks like a dog crawling, it's fine, eight out of ten can be wrong, and it's still missing arms and legs, no wonder Uncle Sun can't understand it, Mu Chengyuan spent a lot of time trying to figure it out, and re-read it. It took me a while to transcribe it, and it was a pity to think about it. Ru Tie looked very clever, but his writing was horrible, but this person came from a farming family, which was unexpected and reasonable—but now he suddenly told him that there were many typos People will settle accounts? ?

Mu Chengyuan chuckled lightly: "Stop talking big in front of me."

"It's true." Ru Tie insisted, then he thought that his categorical decision was indeed a bit arbitrary, and added for the sake of rigor, "Actually, I don't know how to keep the account book, but I just write down the entries for calculation. It's not hard to count."

Addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, if you can't even handle this, what are you going to learn!

"Oh?" Mu Chengyuan seemed to be interested, and immediately called someone to bring in a booklet, "I have an account here, why don't you settle it?"

This is to try him on purpose.

"How difficult is this!" Ru Tie kowtowed, and said crisply: "Please give me a pen and paper, Your Highness. Also, if I don't understand something written on it, please help me, Your Highness."

Mu Chengyuan said: "Okay."

Mu Chengyuan prepared pen and ink according to what he said, and wanted to give him an abacus, but Rutie refused, and spread out the paper on the ground, while flipping through the booklet, he wrote down some incomprehensible symbols from time to time, After a stick of incense, Ru Tie happily said: "I counted three times, it should be this number."

Considering that the ancients did not understand Arabic numerals, Rutie deliberately re-copied the result in Chinese characters. Although it was still missing arms and legs, it was extremely bad, but it was enough to impress Mu Chengyuan.

The accountant of Prince Rui's Mansion might not be able to count three times in this short period of time, although Ru Tie's word was written wrong again, but the number is correct.

Prince Rui wondered, "You don't even need to use abacus, how did you do it?"

How to say this?Ru Tie would not easily reveal the identity of the time traveler, so after thinking about it, he tried hard to convince Prince Rui, "Your Highness, in fact, everyone has their own strengths, so just treat me as... who can do mental calculations."

Although he didn't plan, he made drafts all over the floor.With a background in science and engineering, it is common to write and do calculations.This booklet was originally an account book, which recorded quite clearly, income and expenditure, and various types. If you have the patience to calculate it several times, you will always get the right answer.

But he overestimated the popularity of mathematics, that is, the popularity of arithmetic in Dachu. Dachu official schools and imperial examinations did not require arithmetic. Most scholars prefer stereotyped poetry and are not keen on arithmetic itself. It was left to a special person to do it, so in Rutie he just did the calculations very simply, but surprised Prince Rui.

How much is this person hiding?

Every time he thinks that this product is enough to shock people, next time, there will be a new moth... Cough, new tricks.

Mu Chengyuan unconsciously looked forward to the iron-like snack shop, and he didn't know what it would be like.
