Entering the front hall, the food was already set on the table, Li Chengming chose a seat near the window and sat down, while Mu Qing hesitated and sat in front of Li Chengming.

It stands to reason that two people should sit facing each other when eating, but Mu Qing is now blocking this matter in his heart, looking at Li Chengming and really can't eat, fortunately, this is a round table where he sits the same.

Li Chengming didn't care about Mu Qing, he just finished rolling up his sleeves and picked up chopsticks to eat. Mu Qing pulled the rice in the bowl with chopsticks, but his eyes were looking at Li Chengming, and he found that the wine-stuffed duck he said was placed in front of him, but Li Chengming only took three bites and stretched out the chopsticks to other dishes.

"But not to taste?" Mu Qing asked.

Li Chengming said with a smile: "The cook in Mr. Liu's house makes this dish very well, and I have never seen anything better than him in Beijing." ”

Mu Qing added a piece and put it in his mouth, only to feel that the skin was crispy and the meat was soft, the fat of the duck was well preserved, it tasted not rotten, and the faint aroma of wine and honey woke up the taste buds. couldn't help but sandwich another piece, Mu Qing looked at the duck meat and said, "It's so delicious, why does the prince only eat three pieces." ”

Li Chengming swallowed the rice in his mouth, took a sip of the tea bowl, and then said: "The duck is oily, so it's better to eat less in this season." ”

Mu Qing glanced at the duck meat he was holding, pouted, and took a bite into it.

Wouldn't life be devoid of a lot of fun if you have to be so careful about eating? Mu Qing was not polite to Li Chengming, and began to eat attentively. After walking for half a day in the morning, and then sometimes running around, I was already very hungry. Because he had eaten with Li Qianyu recently, Mu Qing's etiquette naturally didn't matter, and the speed didn't slow down, the chopsticks were fast, he really let Li Chengming see what it means to eat miscellaneous and eat a lot.

Li Chengming blinked his eyes, and saw that Mu Qing's stomach was like a bottomless pit, so he joined the team to grab vegetables. Eating is always rushing to eat deliciously, and the two of them look humble and polite, with indifferent expressions, but the speed of the chopsticks is not slow at all.

=========================================================================

Not long after, a table of dishes was swept away, Mu Qing leaned back with his stomach holding a slight staff, leaned back on the back of the chair, and said with satisfaction: "I think the chef who cooks is absolutely happy, his craftsmanship is very appreciated." ”

Li Chengming obviously ate more than usual, nodded, stood up slowly, and said, "This king is going to go outside, can Mu Gongzi come along?" ”

"No, I believe that life is in stillness, just let me stay here." Mu Qing smiled and rejected Li Chengming's kindness.

Li Chengming nodded, ignored him, and went out of the door.

When Mu Qing saw him walking away, he stretched out his hand to greet the little guy waiting next to him, and said, "Can you help me make a new pot of tea?" ”

The little guy answered and retreated, and Mu Qing was the only one in the whole room. He walked to the door, pulled it open, and the fresh wind blew into the room, dispelling the aroma of a room's meals. After a while, the tea was served.

It's just that the person who serves the tea is not a small guy, but Duro.

Du Luo was still dressed in a cyan shirt, his hair was tied up, and his elegant and handsome face was like a fairy with a light smile, but his eyes flashed when he looked at Mu Qing: "Congratulations to the Yuan Gong." ”

Mu Qing waved his hand: "Don't follow me to make this set of nothing, I know that Brother Du understands what I mean, come, sit." ”

Du Luo sat down with a smile, poured two cups of tea, put one of them in front of Mu Qing and said, "I thought of sending a message to you before the list, but King Zhuang's mansion was made into a monolith by King Zhuang, and not only can't the water splash in the needle prick, but I can't do it." ”

Mu Qing smiled bitterly twice and said, "It's none of Brother Du's business, I really can't get out of it recently." ”

Du Luo nodded, probably thinking that Mu Qing was afraid that he was being dragged by Li Qianyu. Regarding the relationship between Mu Qing and Li Qianyu, Du Luo has always been surprised why they are so good, but after all, they are on this boat, and there is no way back, and Du Luo is unwilling to delve into it. He picked up the tea bowl and gently blew open the finely minced tea on it, took a sip, and then said, "The matter you asked me to check about Yuan Guifei already has an eyebrow." ”

Mu Qing blinked and said, "Let's talk about it." ”

Du Luo's voice was like mountains and flowing water, clear and pleasant: "Yuan Guifei's maiden family is not prominent, her father is only a six-grade official, she would not have entered the palace draft, because she married the son of the Meng family, but later the county lord of Sangluo fell in love with the son of the Meng family, so he took away this family business, and Yuan Guifei just entered the palace draft." ”

"Then the Meng family, is it the Meng family who was convicted more than ten years ago?" Mu Qing frowned slightly.

Du Luo nodded: "Yes, this Meng family is a rare clear stream in the family, but because of the discovery of anti-poetry, and the war was caught up at that time, someone accused him of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, and he was beheaded, except for Meng Qi, the horse of the Sang Luo monarch, who was spared, it was a pair of children of the head of the Meng family." ”

This incident was mentioned in the original book, and Master Meng was the orphan of the Meng family, and Mu Qing still remembered this very well. However, this Meng Qi has never heard of it, and it sounds like this, and his relationship with Yuan Guifei is inextricably linked. Mu Qing frowned slightly, and then asked, "What is Meng Qi's official position now?" ”

It stands to reason that the county lord is already an official position, and the court will not let him be added to the rank of knight, but this Meng Qi is obviously different, and Du Luo said that there is admiration in his eyes at other times: "He is the champion of Ding Chou year, and now the official worships the prime minister." ”

Mu Qing was shocked in his heart, this was really strange: "This seems to be out of order." ”

Du Luo smiled: "The saint also took a fancy to his character and promoted him exceptionally. This Meng Qi is low-key, the most moderate of the three prime ministers, but he is also the most affectionate among them. The county lord of Sanluo has never given birth to a son and a half daughter for him over the years, and Lord Meng has never taken a concubine, and he has been living with the county lord of Sanluo until now, which is the only one among the Beijing officials. ”

Mu Qing didn't have the same idea as Du Luo, but shook his head.

It stands to reason that such a couple is of course the envy of everyone, although there are no children, but after all, it is a husband and wife who follow each other and respect each other like guests. But everyone knows that Meng Qi's family was raided and exterminated, except for him and the pair of sisters and brothers who don't know where they are and don't know whether they are dead or alive, there is no one else, even if he is not for himself, he has to continue the incense for the Meng family.

Du Luo was born in grass mustard and didn't understand the thoughts of the people in the family, but Mu Qing was a child of a family who had seen Deng Yuanshan, Dong Feng, etc., and in their hearts, I am afraid that the family is even bigger than the emperor.

The Meng family is a handsome family, and everyone reads Qingliu, so they should pay more attention to these. Mu Qing pursed his lips, and finally shook his head: "I don't believe it, there must be something strange here." ”

Du Luo didn't know what Mu Qing was suspecting, but this young man who was not as big as himself often guessed to the point, so Du Luo kept this matter in his heart and waited to investigate it later.

After listening to what Du Luo had investigated, Mu Qing said his main intention: "I got a letter, the Mu family in Yizhou was raided, do you know?" ”

Douro nodded, it wasn't something hard to hear.

Mu Qing pursed his lips and said, "That Mu family is my own family." Seeing Du Luo's shocked face, Mu Qing waved his hand, "It's not in the way, my relationship with them is clean, and I have torn my face when I broke up a long time ago." However, after all, they are connected by blood, and I don't want them to really die. ”

"But what they did was to fornicate with the seamen, and they gave all the money to the King of Rui." Du Luo said this very clearly, the Yizhou Mu family is a faction of King Rui, they are a faction of King Zhuang, no matter what, it is a relationship between old and dead, to put it ruthlessly, it is inevitable that you will die in the future.

But Mu Qing still shook his head: "I will do my best to save their lives, but Brother Du, what I want you to do is another thing." ”

"But it doesn't hurt to say it."

"Go check and find out who made the news and said it was me who told the secret." Mu Qing narrowed his eyes, "If you can, stop the people who come from Yizhou to deliver the message, and you can block it for a day." ”

"Mu Gongzi, do great things, don't be kind to women." Duro whispered.

Mu Qing reached out and grabbed the warm jade on his waist, and finally said, "Do as I say." ”

Skipping this matter, Mu Qing took out a collection from his arms and put it on the table, and said: "This, King Zhuang asked me to hand it over to Mr. Liu, the first and last of which I did, if Mr. Liu asked about Brother Du's two poems, please also ask Brother Du to say good words." ”

Du Luo nodded, he didn't care, but when he opened it and read it, he couldn't help but exhale "good poems and good sentences", which made Mu Qingmei smile.

Seeing that it was past noon, Liu Shiren was about to come back, so Mu Qing asked Du Luo to leave first. But just as Du Luo was about to go out, Mu Qing suddenly called out to him: "Brother Du, wait first." ”

Douro looked back at him: "What's the matter?" ”

Mu Qing thought for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Maybe I'm too careful, but I also ask Brother Du to check the chef in your mansion," he said, pointing outside, "It's the cook who makes wine and stuffed duck for Lord Rui." ”

Douro was a little surprised: "Why? ”

Mu Qing scratched his head and said, "I'm not sure, but I listened to the words of the old man at the door, and I think that King Rui must order this dish every time he comes, but I don't like him very much, so I thought, there is something wrong with Xu is cook." I'm just guessing, there's no evidence, but it's better to check. ”

These words are vague, but Douro probably understands a little. He frowned and thought about it, then Li Chengming likes to come to Liu's Mansion very much, and Liu Shiren also left him for dinner this time, this Li Chengming has to order wine and stuffed duck regardless of the cold and heat of spring. However, Douro couldn't think of the joint for a while, so he said: "I'll check, then I'll go first." ”

Mu Qing nodded and watched Duro leave, he reached out and stuffed the book back into his arms.

Mu Qing didn't ask how big Duro's Haoqi Alliance was, and Mu Qing didn't ask how many people came from the specific submission.

There is no doubt in employing people, and he is full of confidence in Douro.

Gently placing his fingers on the table, Mu Qing thought about the news about Meng Qi that he had just learned from Du Luo's mouth, as if something was covered in the fog and could not be seen really.

The author has something to say: the ancients' consciousness of being great without a queen was still very strict, especially Meng Qi's
