The greetings of the Ganlu Hall were long and boring, Mu Qingyuan was also worried that Yinghua's temperament was jumping out, and he couldn't be patient, but he didn't know that two hours later, Yinghua was still standing with her hands down, but it was she who couldn't stand patiently, standing with her legs swollen and her head dizzy. I don't know what incense is burning in the smoke cage in the hall, and it is diffused throughout the hall, and I feel more and more sore eyelids.

She raised her eyes and looked at the three people sitting upright in the hall, only the eldest grandson was pregnant until July and August, and he was a little tired from sitting on his waist, while the other two were sitting with a smile that did not leak.

It's easy to stay until the inner eunuchs turn out of the back of the hall with a red lacquered wooden plate, the sun outside is already west, a small inner eunuch bowed down and held the wooden plate and walked to her, the oblique light outside the hall The recent remnant sun happened to be spread on the wooden plate, Mu Qing lowered his eyes and looked, a brilliant golden light shone on the small gold comb in the middle of the wooden plate, she stretched out her hands to pick it up, but the tentacles were cold.

Before the afterglow was over, Mu Qing took Yinghua back to Yongxingfang, only to enter the house, changed into a homely plain skirt, and heard Du Qi shouting at the gate, "Ah Lang has returned home."

Mu Qing hurriedly called the maid to add carbon strips to the large smoker cage in the main house, and asked people to ask if the dinner in the back kitchen was ready. In a hurry, Du Ruhui had already come in from outside, faded away, and put his hands on the smoker to keep warm.

"Is the front hall okay today?" Mu Qing handed over a cup of hot tea and asked casually.

As usual, Pei Gong and Liu Gong pinched back and forth, after all, Liu Gong wore a guilty body, shortened his momentum a little, and taught Pei Gong to take advantage of + verbal advantage. The king of Qin and the crown prince did not say a word, and only let them argue. Du Ruhui took a sip of hot tea and paused. Speaking of the crown prince, he couldn't help but move his eyebrows, "After the salute, the prince suddenly mentioned that there is no owner in the harem, and he is willing to respect his mother Concubine Yin De as the queen, restrain the harem, and establish a system......

"Physique?" Mu Qing covered his mouth and smiled, as if he had heard the most ridiculous joke in the world.

Du Ruyan pursed his lips faintly, "Even if the teaching Erlang refutes it." He sincerely remembered his deceased mother in front of everyone, and recalled at length the love of Empress Taimu for his brother when he was a child. provoked Princess Pingyang to tears. Sighing. At that moment, the prince seemed to have been slapped in public, and his face was extremely ugly. ”

"That's it?" Mu Qing asked.

"No one dares to mention it anymore. King Qin is also vigorous, so that the words of the immediate future are blocked. The sullenness of the heart was also expressed. Just ......"

"Just what?"

"Just. I'm afraid that the saint is not very comfortable in his heart. Looking at his face, you can see that he must not like it in his heart. Du Ruhui put down the teacup, rubbed his palms, and said casually: "Fortunately, in the next year, I will turn around and return to Jinyang to kill Liu Wuzhou." When Erlang returned to the court to offer prisoners, the sacred heart was happy, and Xu forgot about it. ”

Mu Qing let out an "ah", opened his eyes, and returned to calm again in an instant, "Are you going to go on the expedition again?" ”

Du Ruhui sat down in front of the case and sighed lightly, "The sea is not peaceful, and the battle will not stop." Fortunately, there have been a lot of attachments in the past year, and most of them can win without a fight, even if they have to fight, the odds of victory are stable. ”

"I'm worried about you." Mu Qing was about to speak, his eyes turned twice on her, and then continued: "At the moment, there is chaos in the palace, and none of them are light-hearted...... I'm worried that you're getting caught up in it, and you're tired of it. ”

Mu Qing glanced at his serious expression, but she didn't dare to admit anything to him, she didn't know the reason, but at this moment, it was difficult for her to ignore Ah Yue in the palace. For many years as a master and servant, Ah Yue has never relied on her appearance to have a half-separated heart, and she has never done anything hurtful, why can't she even protect her own and her son's lives, such a humble wish can't be achieved, not to mention, it was she who personally sent her into this situation back then, and Mu Qing even felt guilty.

"After setting up the rules of the day, the straight people are scattered." Mu Qing tapped his knee a few times, and deliberately diverted the words, "I don't eat water and rice for most of the day, I'm really hungry, the dinner in the kitchen has been prepared, it's still the first day, Wuxin plate, chicken, Tusu wine, and yokan and fish are all ready, I will teach them to pass the meal." ”

Saying that, she really got up and went outside the house to greet her, and called the nurse to bring Shiro. Shiro listened to his mother's voice, and he had already twisted left and right in his mother's breast's arms, and stretched out his hand to point to Mu Qing. In the courtyard, Ah Liu's angry call of "Ah Yan, Ah Yan" sounded again. Fu Yanyan jumped to the main house, and turned his head in response, "Aunt Yinghua and Ah Lang have said that there are no rules in the New Year. ”

Suddenly, there was laughter in the main house in the courtyard, and the pots of food filled with tempting aroma brought by the maids, this perennial cold house was suddenly full of noisy popularity, and finally had the prosperity and enthusiasm that should be in the annual festival of the world.

……

March 3, Shangsi Day, the day of purification and bathing in spring, is also Mu Qing's birthday. She was the laziest to respond to the festival, Du Ruhui and Yinghua went out with the army, and she was even more reluctant to move more in the house, at most she went to the East Market for a walk. This year's Shangsi Festival, she ran out of the city to enjoy the spring for the first time, only took Duqi Ada by her side, changed into a light robe, galloped out of the city, ran farther and farther, and galloped all the way to Anding County.

Along the way, the grass is green, the two sides of the official road tamped by loess are dotted with small pink, blue and purple wildflowers, looking at the past like a silk with variegated flowers on an emerald green background, the air is soaked with sweet moisture, and a deep breath of the fragrance of grass and trees is full of heart, compared with the luxurious and regular spring scenery in Chang'an City, there is no interest.

On the third day, as soon as you set foot in the suburbs of Anding County, the spring mood all the way has changed as if it is not a tune, and there is no need to ask, but anyone who is not blind can see that a huge piece of land has been circled here, the cultivated land at the good end has been flattened, the blue color is not seen, the loess is abrupt, and more than a dozen craftsmen who chisel stones are half-hidden behind the deep grass mound, tinkling local labor, and look at the big fortifications under construction.

There were originally more than ten families near the lake, living in the lake, with grass sheds and bamboo fences, which was a leisurely scene. At present, the fence of the house is still there, but when you look closer, it is no longer the case, the first few houses are obviously abandoned, and the one in the far corner is still charred, and there is a faint smell of burning in the dilapidation.

"Lady, this is it." Du Qiyao pointed to the house in front of him. He said to Mu Qing blankly, "When I came last month, there were still two families, and they only said that they would be killed and would not leave, but now they have all been evacuated." ”

Mu Qing's heart was shocked, those two families were afraid that it would not be good. "Go around here and around and find out, the neighbors are friends for generations, and someone should know where they are."

Du Qi was about to go, but Mu Qing was still not at ease, so he added another sentence behind him. You say slowly. Don't frighten the villagers. ”

Duzi let out a "hey" and rode away.

Mu Qing sat on the horse and carefully glanced at the place in front of him where the mountains and rivers hugged, according to Du Qi's inquiry a few days ago. This is the place where Concubine Yin's biological father privately occupied. He got the prince's approval. It's just that. Others occupy it, most of it is farmland, what does he want to do with this rocky beach near the lake.

There is a short brown dress. The person who looked like a steward walked past her horse, and when he saw her in the formation of a freshly clothed and angry horse, he couldn't help but look at it twice, and then caught a glimpse of the curly grass pattern embroidered with gold silk on the edge of her robe, and thought that she must have been sent by the master's family to visit, so he bowed down with a smile, "Ah Lang is here to see the process?" ”

Mu Qingwei was stunned, reacted very quickly, calmed his throat, and put on a bit of arrogance, "Are you the main business here?" ”

Coincidentally, the person in charge was the one in charge, and he nodded busily.

"Tell me what is going on with this fortification." Mu Qing jumped lightly and turned over and dismounted, and casually threw the reins to Ada, which was really a posture of inspection.

The steward led her to the fortifications to take a look, and said flatteringly: "Good to teach Ah Lang to know that Zitian Shelang is really difficult, and he promised them money in his head, so that he said that he didn't want to move the place, probably because he felt that the Yin family was easy to talk to, and he wanted to rely on a few more money." The villain thought privately, after all, he just wanted to earn a few more money with these broken grass sheds, and if he didn't have these sheds, it would save trouble, so he called two boys at night......"

"You burned down this house?" Mu Qing raised his eyebrows and raised his voice, but for a moment, his face was lukewarm again, "Did it hurt people's lives?" ”

The steward was stunned, the people from the main family have always only asked about the progress of the fortifications, never asked about these, how did the face-to-face Ah Lang who came today ask about this, he thought about it again, and it was right, if there was a dead or wounded, there would be trouble, and he was busy piling up smiling faces, waving his hands again and again, "No, no." Just scare and scare. ”

"How much money was promised per household?" She asked coldly.

The steward suddenly stopped, looked at Mu Qing boldly, with a slight doubt in his eyes, and replied hesitantly: "According to the population, ten taels per person......

Mu Qing felt that this question was quite a bit of a mistake, and the words had already been asked, and it was not easy to take it back. I had to deliberately walk to a craftsman, who was concentrating on carving a long and smooth stone strip of ink, she took a few looks, a large cluster of peony branches was delicately unfolding under his hand, not to mention how beautiful the petals and branches were, just looking at the leaf veins and stamens, it was actually a silky thread, and every chisel was like a wonderful brush.

"Good craftsmanship." Mu Qing was surprised in his heart, but he pretended not to think so, and pointed to the craftsman.

"Ah Lang has good eyesight." The steward stroked his palms and praised it, and sure enough, he put all his thoughts on the craftsman, and his face was full of pride and couldn't help but say a few more words, "I can't pick out a better one in Chang'an, this annex, according to the meaning of the lady of the main family, will be taken over in the future, but don't everything have to be carefully followed?" Don't hide it from Ah Lang, the villain is not eating and sleeping well for this annex......"

It turned out to be an annex of the Yin family. Mu Qing suddenly realized, put aside the steward and babbled on the side to ask for credit, and turned the matter in his mind by himself. Concubine Yin De and the crown prince wolf bèi are in adultery, and the father occupies this large area of good mountains and rivers, expels the people, sets fire to and injures people, just to build a luxury annex, and even under the banner of receiving the holy car, this matter will come out in the future, and the saint has also been touched by this layer of favor, how can the priests open their mouths to impeach? And the Sacred Heart is happy, I am afraid that there is greater grace to come. It's just that I don't know if the holy car they want to receive in their hearts is the one on the Daxing Palace, or the one who is now in the East Palace.

Well, very good, really step by step, clever calculations. Mu Qing gritted his teeth and said secretly in his heart. (To be continued......) R1292
