Chapter 350: I See, That's the Way It Is (1st Update)
There is a characteristic of the coastal county, that is, there is always a wet smell in the air, so that Zhiruo, who has been living in the north, is not very adaptable, but fortunately, the weather has been good for the past two days, and there is no rain to increase the sticky and thick procrastination and depression.

Early in the morning, when Zhiruo pushed open the window, he heard the chirping of birds and was in a good mood.
Luo Ying looked at the radiant "Qi Mubai" in front of him, and sighed: "The men's clothes designed by the master are actually very simple, how can they be different?"
Zhiruo smiled proudly: "This is the magic of color matching and application, if you want to appear fairer or darker, if you want to look taller or stronger, you can use the color and shape of the clothes to highlight." Don't underestimate the gray and black combination of my brocade robe, but it's a very particular ......"
Zhiruo spoke with relish and spirit, as if discussing design concepts with colleagues in a modern design studio.
Luo Ying likes to see Zhiruo like this, and feels that his master seems to be glowing every inch of his skin in this state, and every breath is full of enthusiasm, which is the state that the eldest daughter of the county lord of Qianxin and General Yin Zhao should have.
It's hateful, those black hands ruined the master's sky, so that the master had to bear a heavy burden in his flowery years, one is the father and mother hate the innocence of the family, and the other is the young brothers and sisters.
Even so, the master still influences and infects the people around her with her sunny passion, she says, what they want to do is not to be shrouded in the black curtain of hatred, but to remove the black curtain and recreate the blue sky. Revenge is not their goal, but a means to get the Yin family back on their feet, or rather, the way to go.
With such a different master, not only is it frosty, but she also feels that there is a lot of sunshine and color in the life that has no meaning.
After breakfast, the three of Zhiruo's master and servant rode on horses and went to the county office, reaping admiration and amazement all the way, as well as envy and jealousy emitted from all corners. Now almost the entire county already knows that Qi Mubai and Qi Gongzi are also coming to Haishi.
On the second floor of Wanhua Building, in a spacious, bright and beautifully decorated room, Furong and Jasmine sat by the window, watching the chic and uninhibited Qi Mubai with the two maids in a high-profile manner, with mixed feelings. Especially Furong, she really didn't expect Qi Mubai to react after that moment of amazement, is she old? Or is Wanhualou's reputation really ruined by the sentence "Elegant people smell the birds, and the laymen look at the flowers and shake", so that Qi Mubai didn't dare to step in.
Qingguo inquired about the situation on the street and hurriedly ran back, gasping and said, "Lady, Qi ...... Qi Mubai went to Min ...... Min Zhi County Mansion is on, I heard that it was the housekeeper of Min Mansion who deliberately ran to Bainiao Pavilion yesterday to send a post. ”
"Okay, okay," Fleur said with a smile, "Look at how you gasp, go down and drink saliva and rest, don't you like yellow fruit cakes? ”
"Hey, I'll go now," Qingguo smiled so hard that her eyes narrowed into a line, she liked Huangguo cake the most, and she never got tired of eating it.
As soon as Qingguo left, Jasmine smiled strangely: "It seems that Lan is going to use means." Also, no matter how sticky it is, Qi Mubai doesn't know where to go, can she still follow all the way?"
"Hopefully," Fleur was unusually quiet, she certainly hoped that Blue would succeed, and there were very few things in their flower group that could not complete the task. It's just that she thought of the flamboyant figure who rode by just now, and suddenly she was a little bottomless, the lord wanted to arrange Lan next to Qi Mubai, of course she knew why, but that young back seemed to be a hard bone to gnaw. She had a feeling that Qi Mubai was so flamboyant when he was born, and he exuded a kind of arrogance all over his body, but she was afraid that there was a force behind him that the lord had never imagined.
Guanghai County is not a big city, and the three of them quickly arrived at Minfu.
Zhixian generally has a mansion equipped with the imperial court, just behind the county office, but Min Zhixian does not live in that mansion, but uses it as a post station. It is said that the people who can live in the backyard of the county government must be court officials who come to Guanghai to run errands, ensuring safety and making it easier to work.
Min Mansion is also not far from the county government, it was purchased by Mrs. Min with her own dowry silver, which is not very big, but the pattern and scenery are very good, which is the benefit of marrying a rich wife. In Guanghai, everyone knows that Mrs. Sun is the daughter of the imperial merchant Sun family, and she is not short of silver, but often uses private money to support the work of Lord Min.
As soon as the three of Zhiruo arrived at the gate of the Min Mansion, Steward Lin greeted them and asked the little maid to lead the three horses to wait for them, and he wanted to personally lead the three of them to the hall.
Luoshuang laughed crisply: "Let's go, just trouble a little brother to lead the way, our three horses, especially Gongzi's horse, are very temperamental, and they refuse to let strangers approach." ”
The two little men who were about to come over to lead the horses looked at the three brave and sturdy and didn't seem to be very friendly tall horses, and the soles of their feet trembled, and when they heard the words of the frost, their faces turned white, and they quietly took two steps back.
Steward Lin secretly scolded these three people for losing face, but he still pointed to one of them to lead the way for Luoshuang, he still heard a lot of horses that were difficult to serve, since the maids were willing to do it themselves, why didn't he do it, more is better than less, isn't it?
Leading Zhiruo and Luoying forward, Steward Lin also introduced attentively along the way: "The county magistrate went to the county government early in the morning to deal with urgent matters and rushed back to the house, and now I am waiting for you to come with my wife." ”
Zhiruo said lightly: "Lord Min and Mrs. Min are too polite," and then there was no other reaction.
Steward Lin was secretly annoyed, this Qi Mubai was too arrogant, right? No matter how famous their Qi family was, they were already fast into the history books, and now they were just an ordinary businessman with a solid background. And no matter how low the grade of his family is, he is also the head of a county from the sixth grade, and an official of the imperial court, not to mention that his wife's maiden family is also one of the five imperial merchants of Daying, I really don't know why Qi Mubai is so arrogant, and I don't know that businessmen need a network of mutual benefit and mutual support the most?
However, seeing that Min Zhixian attached so much importance to today's meeting, Steward Lin naturally didn't dare to be careless, and secretly complained, and his face was still very respectful.
As Steward Lin said, Min Zhixian and his wife were really in the reception hall, and as soon as they heard the maid's news, they personally greeted them: "Welcome, welcome, I have admired the name of Qi Gongzi for a long time, and it is really handsome and extraordinary. "A pun on the word, with a blade in the word.
Zhiruo made a regular salute and said: "Lord Min has raised his love, the grass people Qi Mubai has seen Lord Min and Mrs. Min, thank you Lord Min for the invitation." Because when the grass people were young, there was a master of the Tao who gave the grass people a life, saying that I was short of fire in my life, and I couldn't take off the mask on my face in front of people before I started a family, so I also looked at Lord Min and Mrs. Min Haihan for the rudeness. ”
Mrs. Min had a "so it is" expression: "Gongzi Qi is polite, but your mask is chic, it looks good and comfortable, it should still be bright, right?" The Sun family also has a silver building, and Mrs. Min has heard a lot since she was a child, which can be regarded as an expert gatekeeper. If it weren't for the fear of losing the face of the Min family and the Sun family too abruptly, she would have wanted to ask Qi Mubai directly where the mask was made and whose goldsmith's family was.
While Mrs. Min looked at Qi Mubai, Qi Mubai was naturally secretly observing the two of them. Lord Min is not distinctive, nor ugly, slightly thin, as Feng Ling said, at first glance, he is a mediocre but ambitious magistrate. On the contrary, Mrs. Min has a good appearance and bearing, but her slightly high cheekbones and calculation in her eyes make people very uncomfortable.
The host and guest entered the hall with humility to each other, and the first thing was naturally a pleasant greeting. Then Mrs. Min thanked Qi Mubai for helping her nephew Queen Begonia on the way: "Begonia is weak and doesn't like to ask for help, if it weren't for Prince Qi...... Belch...... I don't know what kind of trouble I will encounter. ”
Mrs. Min paid special attention to it just now, although the maid next to Qi Mubai was also covered by a mask, she was still a delicate beauty, she knew kung fu and could fly, but she didn't expect to repair the carriage, could it be another maid who went to feed the horses?
Zhiruo waved his hand: "The effort of raising your hands is not enough to worry about your teeth, Mrs. doesn't have to worry about it, I heard that Mrs. is Miss Wang's aunt, I thought that the adults and Mrs. were elders, but I didn't expect them to be so young." ”
Lord Min laughed: "Haitang's mother is the sister of the insider, and there is a lot of age difference, the official is Chinese New Year's Eve today, and he is not young compared to you as Gongzi Qi, haha." "He is also a poor student, he was not rich before marrying Sun, and he always felt that he looked a lot older than those fellow scholars, and today he was praised by Qi Mubai for being young, and he couldn't help but feel proud.
Mrs. Min also smiled: "Although I am a sister-in-law, I have many brothers, and my sister is only one, and she loves me very much, so she has the best relationship with the eldest sister, and even the later sister-in-law can't compare to it." ”
Zhiruo heard Feng Ling say that the Sun family and Min Zhixian were both married for the second time, and Min Zhixian's ex-wife died in childbirth, and she still had two lives. And the Sun family is reconciled, and the Sun family is also twenty-five or six this year.
Zhiruo complimented appropriately: "Madame values affection, and Miss Wang is also blessed to have an aunt like you." ”
"I can't bear it," sighed Mrs. Min, "that child's life is miserable, her father and mother are gone early, and she is not liked by her grandfather and grandmother, and no one supports her." I just picked her up, also to help her palm her eyes and find her a good home. "If you can really fulfill Haitang's wish, it's not bad, even if you are a concubine for a golden Qi descendant like Qi Mubai, who is both rich and beautiful, it is better than being casually matched by the Wang family, isn't it?
The most important thing is that the master also hopes to have a relationship with Qi Mubai, saying that it is conducive to his future. (To be continued.) )
