94. Love me and give me my life
"You said Xiaolin......" Aunt Zhou's face turned white when she heard Mo Mingzhu mention her daughter Mo Xiaolin, who died early, and then quickly covered it up vigilantly. It's God who doesn't have mercy and makes Xiaolin get a strange disease, and no one can't help but accept his fate, as long as Lingjun is well, I will be content. β
She's leaving.
"The third brother is twelve years old, but his mind is like a two- or three-year-old child, is this called good?"
ββ¦β¦β
"Aunt Zhou is an understanding person and knows what I mean."
As Mo Mingzhu expected, a crack appeared on Aunt Zhou's always calm and flawless faceβshe understood.
"I don't know what you're talking about, farewell."
"If Aunt Liu really has the ability to harm the third sister, she won't die in your hands."
Aunt Zhou looked at Mo Mingzhu in shock, her face turned pale. "Aunt Liu died of food poisoning, don't talk nonsense and wronged people."
Aunt Zhou hurriedly left with her skirt.
Aunt Liu was poisoned at the behest of the Gao family, because she mistakenly thought that it was Aunt Liu who killed her daughter, and she was willing to take the risk to kill the Gao family, which was Mo Mingzhu's guess, but looking at Aunt Zhou's reaction today, most of the time she was right.
Mo Mingzhu has not been idle these days, and he has been busy investigating these things. In the past, she was only bent on escaping from Mo Mansion and didn't want to entangle with these cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods, but now, she changed her mind.
β¦β¦
"Yun Tao, throw this bag of things to the door of Aunt Zhou's yard."
Mo Mingzhu pointed to the bag of rotten cloth. Now that the guess is correct, the next plan can be implemented. In a little while, let's see what these good-faced and vicious people will look like!
When the ten-day period arrived, the prince Xiao Jingren took a hundred years of jade as a gift and visited the door, which was different from Xiao Jingling's direct style, Xiao Jingren first went to meet Mo Dingyuan, saw the old lady, gave gifts, and even the servants prepared a reward, and all the links were not missing.
Xiao Jingren talked with the elders, and after greeting and greeting, he talked about the marriage.
He has only been here for a long time, and the little servants and maids in the Mo Mansion have opened their mouths and closed their mouths to say how His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is. Mo Mingzhu was studying a new type of perfume the day before, and he couldn't sleep thinking about the treasures of the Long's Forehead Underground Palace, so he was sleeping in the Purple Garden at this time, but he heard "Xiao Jingren" Balabala and "His Royal Highness the Prince" Balabala, and he couldn't sleep!
"This prince is expected to be the emperor, and he has won the hearts of the people after only half a day." Mo Mingzhu was sarcastic, obviously Xiao Jingren failed to win her people's hearts, Mo Mingzhu just wanted to sleep quietly now!
"Miss, don't sleep, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will definitely come to see you in a while. You better get up and dress up, and you can be the crown princess if you are beautiful. β
Yun Tao said excitedly.
"The second lady will marry and become the third princess after the year, and the young lady will be the crown princess, how can it be pressed on her head, see how she shows off her might! Scold. β
Mo Mingzhu slammed back on the bed and pulled the quilt to cover his face.
"Miss, why are you sleeping again. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a noble status and a talent, and he is really a good son-in-law who cannot be missed......"
"Miss, if you become the crown princess, you will be a quasi-queen......"
Ah~ It's noisy...... Mo Mingzhu pushed away the quilt in an uproar. "Didn't you say a few days ago that I should dress up and go to the Hou Mansion often, why did I suddenly switch to the prince's camp today? How can you be so unprincipled? β
Yun Tao scratched her face and smiled. "A man like Long Erhou can only make people look up to him, and he always feels that he doesn't eat the fireworks of the world, but a man like His Royal Highness the Crown Prince warms people's hearts and loves to laugh, and knows how to love women."
"Yo, the little girl wants me to marry him, so that I can be a concubine for the prince." Mo Mingzhu quipped.
Yun Tao pouted unhappily. "How could I rob a husband with Miss, then I might as well strangle myself."
Said shyly and blushed. Mo Mingzhu's eyes were sharp, and he saw the perfume bag embroidered with larks on Yun Tao's waist, and the workmanship looked very familiar, like what hung on Yun Tang's waist under Han Shen.
Mo Mingzhu raised his eyebrows. Got it.
Yun Tao did not give up, and continued to persuade Mo Mingzhu: "Miss, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is much better than His Royal Highness the Third Prince, the people are kind and warm, there is no shelf at all, everyone has come to visit the parents, Miss, you are still not concerned, the slaves and maids are anxious for you......"
Mo Mingzhu smiled faintly: "He can not only warm you without hesitation, but also warm others everywhere." Besides, knowing people and knowing faces but not knowing hearts, maybe the warmth is wrapped in a piece of iron and stone, so I'd rather find an honest man. β
Let's just say that the iceberg Han Shen, his gentleness, his warmth, never give alms everywhere, only after the person will be revealed. The warmth of a man with a cold temperament is something that can completely melt people, and it is really heartwarming......
"Master Hou is so handsome, is he an honest man?" Yun Tao muttered to herself, and Mo Mingzhu was slightly embarrassed when she heard it.
She didn't say her name.
Is Han Shen an honest man? Mo Mingzhu also wanted to know this question. But thinking about Han Shen's silence and saying that she would give him time to think about it, Mo Mingzhu couldn't help but feel a little disappointed in his heart. He made a promise and asked her to give him time to think about it, and the man ...... Is it reliable?
Xiao Jingren is the elder's favorite type of junior, polite, understanding the rules, not impatient and arranged, not abrupt at all, and after talking to Mo Dingyuan and the old lady, he euphemistically proposed that he wanted to see Mo Mingzhu. After this chat, Mo Dingyuan was already very satisfied with this "quasi-son-in-law", even if he went to ask Mo Mingzhu to come out to take a look, after all, the other party was the crown prince and the future emperor.
"Miss Pearl." Xiao Jingren called with a smile.
Mo Mingzhu was stunned for a moment before he saluted and saw the prince. Then the two sat down separately, and Mo Mingzhu was worried that Xiao Jingren would ask her the answer to the ten-day period, the question of whether to marry or not. If Xiao Jingren asks, she will refuse in person, but when she blows his face, it will inevitably offend people, and it will affect her father's future or something......
However, Xiao Jingren never mentioned it, and didn't even talk to Mo Mingzhu much, but just swept her over and smiled at her when chatting with Mrs. Mo Ding. No wonder Mo Mansion was bought by Xiao Jingren in the first half of the day, his smile is indeed very warm.
However, Mo Mingzhu didn't like it! I always feel that I can't see through it, and I feel dangerous.
After Xiao Jingren left, the old lady and Mo Dingyuan both praised each other. The old lady patted Mo Mingzhu's hand, "Mingzhu, seeing that your marriage has been settled, grandmother's heart has finally been put down, even if the old body is allowed to go immediately, I can see your mother." β
What did grandmother say...... "She didn't nod her head to get married, okay?"
Mo Dingyuan was pleased. "Mingzhu, if you don't like the prince, it doesn't matter, these days I have secretly signaled to my father that I want to ask to marry a lot of princes and grandsons, as long as you can see it, my father will go and get it back for you! Do you have a favorite? β
Mo Mingzhu was about to say yes, but when he remembered that Han Shen said that he wanted her to give him time, he couldn't help it. "Not ...... yet"
"Since there is none, then His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a good candidate, Mingzhu, you should think about it."
*
Mo Mingzhu didn't see Han Shen in the next few days, and sent a letter to the Long'er Mansion, and Yun Tang replied that he had something to do. Han Shen was sometimes mysterious, so Mo Mingzhu didn't ask much, but heard some news about King Chen in the palace. According to the news, King Chen, who was seriously ill and about to die, seemed to have recovered some vitality, and it was said that he could not die again.
The emperor and the queen were very happy, and rewarded a group of palace maids and several beauties to serve King Chen. However, King Chen's reputation for horror was outstanding, and he couldn't find a suitable noble girl for a while, so he sent a few concubines over to serve first, and then slowly selected the princess.
The people ridiculed and took pity: "King Chen is really unlucky, a generation of heroes, and it took a few women to warm the bed in their twenties." β
Thinking of the man who had a similar appearance to Han Shen and was even more handsome and heroic, Mo Mingzhu couldn't help but sigh, it was really unfair and pitiful for a hero to end up like this. Mo Mingzhu looked out the window, and the courtyard was snow-white.
It is now the twenty-seventh day of the lunar month, and there have been several snows in the past two days, and the entire Chang'an City is brilliant in the snow, and the New Year is about to be celebrated. The red lanterns and red cotton jackets finally filled the entire Mo Mansion with long-lost harmony.
Now that the New Year is approaching, Qinjia perfume has become a kind of beauty and health fashion, and people have bought perfume to send to relatives and friends to send to their superiors. The workers of the perfume factory were working day and night, and they were so busy that even the maids and maids of the second elder of the Qin family went to do chores. Mo Mingzhu has been so busy these days that he can't touch the ground, and he runs to the Qin family's perfume shop every day, fortunately, the Mo family is the home of military generals, and there are not as many rules as the scholarly family for his children, otherwise Mo Mingzhu may not be so convenient to enter and exit the medicine to do business.
Busy, but rejoicingβit's all silver!
Qin Changfan was wearing a dark purple robe, outlining his tall figure of nearly one meter nine, which looked somewhat similar to Han Shen from the back, the difference was that Han Shen's hairline behind his ears was fairer and his body was clearer.
Qin Changfan has become more and more mature recently.
"Mingzhu, at this rate, next spring, we can open perfume shops all over the streets and alleys of Chang'an! After that, you can start to investigate the neighboring Taikang, Luyang, and Yucheng, and start to slowly drive south, and you should be able to take these three cities within two years. β
Qin Changfan was full of confidence.
"No, it won't take two years, at this rate, we can open the three cities within six months, and then the three city shops will take joint action, promotion, discounts, and comprehensive publicity, which is faster than a family alone."
Qin Changfan stared at Mo Mingzhu, not wanting to think that this woman said that as long as it was half a year, this was something he didn't dare to imagine. Mo Mingzhu said excitedly, not noticing Qin Changfan's gaze.
"Uncle...... Uncle? β
Qin Changfan returned to his senses. "Okay, let's do it. Unexpectedly, in less than a year, we realized our initial plan to occupy the spice market in Chang'an. β
"No, not yet." Mo Mingzhu looked at the cold spice shop with the word "high" on the opposite side, "Let that flag fall is the realization of the initial plan!" β
The Gao family was embarrassed for her everywhere, and put the Qin family's perfume shop into trouble several times, if it weren't for Han Shen's help, I'm afraid they wouldn't have been able to stick to today's light so easily. After the year, she will return all the blows she has suffered to the Gao family spice shop and Gao Junfeng!
"Half of the Gao family's spice shop has collapsed, and the loss is hundreds of thousands of taels of silver. Let's bring down all the spice shops of the Gao family, just around the corner. β
The Gao family is divided into two parts: officialdom and shopping malls, and the officialdom depends on Gao Zhanhong, the prince of the town and Gao Chi, the uncle of the Gao family, and there is an adopted daughter in the palace as the queen.
If you want to completely beat the Gao family down, you must let the Gao family rot from the foundation, so that it can't stand up and fight back for the Gao family's mother and daughter, so as to prevent future troubles forever. Otherwise, she and the Gao family would have lost both, and the Gao family would give her a paw like a wolf, and the gains would outweigh the losses.
Mo Mingzhu looked up, the sky was snowy and foggy, and she couldn't see the sun, let alone stars, she sighed and let out a white breath. 'Han Shen, what are you doing?' Why didn't you come to me for half a month. β
She's really thinking about it......
When she leaves Chang'an with the help of the power cultivated by the perfume shop, she won't be able to see him at that time. At that time, would she miss him very much, and could she forget about the man......
At this moment, Allure Palace.
There are not many forbidden troops at the gate of the palace, but there are more minions in the Allure Palace, coming and going, red lanterns are hung on the eaves and corridors, and it is said that King Chen's body is a lot better, and there is a little more lively atmosphere of the New Year. However, there is a sense of deliberateness in this excitement and joy......
"His Royal Highness King Chen, let the concubine serve you and rest in your clothes." The beauty in red is dressed coolly, and her body is bewitching and sexy.
Xiao Yuchen wore a mask and drank a bottle of sake unmoved.
"Your Highness...... The queen said that she must be 'close' to serve you well, otherwise she will ask the concubine about her sin. "**Bitter short, let the concubine take off her mask to experience the unspeakable taste, and it is more comfortable than fighting and killing, hehe......"
The beauty smiled.
This woman was given by the emperor and the empress to warm the bed for King Chen, named Xiuxiu, who used to be a dancing girl, who was so angry with her figure that she boldly touched Xiao Yuchen's obvious Adam's apple.
"You want to make the main hall feel good?" Xiao Yuchen put down the wine bottle with a sigh.
The beauty said "um".
"Okay."
Xiuxiu was overjoyed and threw herself into Xiao Yuchen's arms, and suddenly a sharp dagger came across her eyes, so frightened that she didn't even dare to scream. "Your Highness, Your Highness, what are you, what are you doing......"
Xiao Yuchen wrapped his arms around the beauty's waist, and the corners of his mouth raised a handsome and bloodthirsty smile, provoking the beauty's chin.
"Don't you want the temple to be refreshed? Only blood can make the main hall feel comfortable! β
Xiuxiu's face was as white as paper. "Spare your life, spare your life, Your Highness spare your life......"
"Didn't you say you like this king?" Xiao Yuchen pinched the beauty's chin, "This king likes to drink the blood of beauties the most!" β
