During dinner in the evening, Mu Qingge saw several of Xia Yongtu's aunts. Watching from the sidelines, there are really not many rules in the Xia family, and these aunts are treated similarly to Mrs. Xia. Even a few concubines talk sweetly, which is more liked by Mrs. Xia than Xia Shang.

Mu Qingge naturally wouldn't say anything in front of everyone, but after dinner, when she chatted with Mrs. Xia and Mrs. Xia alone, she smiled and told some gossip about big families in the capital. It's mostly a story of spoiling concubines and killing wives, and in the end they don't end well.

Mrs. Xia is a smart person, and after listening to the story, she said: "The life of these big families is not easy, and everyone has different thoughts. It's still good for a family like ours, it's simple, and there aren't so many disputes about right and wrong. ”

"Isn't it?" Mu Qingge sighed, "Those friends I have in Beijing, who is not cautious and cautious? Fortunately, my father has not taken a concubine yet, and I am much luckier than them. However, I would still like to stay in Wucheng, which is better than the capital. ”

"You must stay a few more days this time, you should be out of the cabinet in two years, where will you have the opportunity to come to see your grandmother at that time?" Mrs. Xia also laughed, and said proudly, "Wucheng has a good climate, which is suitable for you to recuperate." We don't have so many intrigues at home, so you can live with peace of mind. ”

"Thank you, grandmother, thank you, aunt." Mu Qingge thanked her obediently with a red face, and exchanged glances with Mrs. Xia.

The second day was good, with a light breeze and not as hot as yesterday.

After breakfast, Mu Qingge gave Xia Yi a look.

"Grandmother, my cousin is coming to Wucheng for the first time, how about I take her out for a walk? When I was in the capital, the miracle doctor said that my cousin's body should go out and walk around faster. The climate in the capital is not good, and she has no chance to go out. It's a good day, it's not hot, we'll go out for a while and come back. "Although Xia Yi was a little sad last night, she has recovered now.

Mu Qingge has not yet arrived, and the Dajin folk style is open. Accompanied by Xia Yi, Mrs. Xia was not worried about what would happen. readily agreed, and asked Xia Yi to take good care of Mu Qingge.

"Grandmother, I'm going out with my cousin too. I'm familiar with Wucheng, and I can be my cousin's guide. When Xia Shang heard this, he immediately followed. It's the age of fun, who wants to be locked up at home all the time?

"Grandmother, I'll go with my cousin too, right?" Charlotte also smiled.

"Grandmother. I'm going too. Xia He was not to be outdone.

"Grandmother, Wucheng is really a good place. In the capital, girls who have already been in the middle of the house are not allowed to show up lightly, even if they are guests at home. Unexpectedly, the eldest cousin could go out casually. If I had gone back and told my cousins, they would have been envious. Mu Qingge raised his little face and said to Mrs. Xia with great envy.

Mrs. Xia couldn't help frowning, Xia Luo would occasionally go out to play before, and they didn't feel anything bad. Now that Mu Qingge mentioned this, he felt that these children really had no rules.

"Sister. I just took my cousin out for a casual walk and came back after a while. You're tired of playing in Wucheng, why are you still going along? If something really happens, it's no problem for me to protect my cousin alone. If I want to protect you, where can I take care of it? Don't join in the fun, next time the weather is nice, let's go out of the city together. Xia Yi followed Mu Qingge's words and said to Xia Shang, completely ignoring Xia Luo and Xia He.

Old Mrs. Xia also moved in her heart when she heard Mu Qingge's words, you must know that in this era, the popularity indicators of a qiē are all from the capital. At this time, I listened to Xia Yi's words. Hurriedly echoed: "That's right, what your brother said is, you all don't go." Yi'er, take Qingge out to play, pay attention to safety. Don't play for too long. ”

"Got it, thanks Grandmother."

"Thank you, grandmother."

Mu Qingge pretended not to see Xia Luo and Xia He's faces, took Su Mu and Poria cocos, and followed Xia Yi out of the gate of the Xia family.

Xia Yi brought a small guy named Sihai this time, and several people hired a carriage and went straight to Zhuangfu. Mu Qingge changed into men's clothes in the carriage.

Mrs. Zhuang waited for Mu Qingge early in the morning. I was glad to see her.

"Qin Gongzi, you are here." Mrs. Zhuang took Mu Qingge's hand and said in a low voice, "Just follow your way." ”

"What? That person doesn't have an antidote? Mu Qingge also lowered her voice, she believed that with Mrs. Zhuang's ability, it would not be difficult to find out who the poisoner was.

Mrs. Zhuang's expression darkened, and she paused for a moment before she said, "I can't tear my face with her now, since she has done such a thing, even if there is an antidote, she can't give it." I met your master yesterday and he said there was no other way. Just ask you to administer the needle, and we will be responsible for the consequences. ”

Mu Qingge paused: "My master? ”

Mrs. Zhuang briefly told her about yesterday's events, and Mu Qingge nodded: "I see, no wonder the people in Zhuang Mansion are so busy early in the morning, they are preparing food." Madame has the world in her heart, is kind and compassionate, and will definitely be rewarded. ”

"I'm just for myself, and I don't deserve such praise from my son." Mrs. Zhuang hurriedly waved her hand.

"Then let's go see Mr. Zhuang."

Mu Qingge didn't say much, and went to see Zhuang Ze.

As usual, he kicked everyone else out of the house, leaving Mrs. Zhuang alone. Mu Qingge cautiously began to apply needles, this needle method was taught by his grandfather in his previous life, and Mu Qingge never used it again except for the last time he used it on himself.

Zhuang Ze's poison was much stricter than the original owner's, and Mu Qingge was already sweating profusely after administering the needle.

"How?" Mrs. Zhuang carefully handed over the clean Luopa and asked nervously.

Mu Qingge checked the pulse again and breathed a sigh of relief: "It's okay, the situation is good." If you continue to apply the needle like this, the kung fu boy will be able to wake up in three days. When the time comes, after a period of injections and some medications, you will be completely cured. When the poison on the little boy's body is completely resolved, I will treat his legs. ”

"Ze'er's leg can also be cured?" Mrs. Zhuang was pleasantly surprised, in fact, when Mu Qingge saw Zhuang Ze for the first time yesterday, he said that his leg was not difficult to treat, but everyone didn't pay attention at that time, thinking that it would be good to save a life. Now that I heard that it can not only save my life, but also heal my leg, how can I not be overjoyed?

"It can be cured, but it will have to suffer a little. We'll talk about this specific method when the time comes. Mu Qingge paused, and said with some embarrassment, "There is something I want to ask Mrs. Zhuang for a favor." ”

"Qin Gongzi, please tell me directly." Mrs. Zhuang hurriedly agreed. "We'll do what we can."

"It's not that strict." Mu Qingge waved his hand, "I don't know if Mrs. Zhuang knows where there is an alchemy furnace?" I want to refine some pills. ”

Refining pills doesn't necessarily have to be an alchemy furnace, but since Mu Qingge said so, Mrs. Zhuang didn't ask. After thinking for a while, he said: "As far as I know, there is a Dan furnace in the Jade Dragon Temple outside the city. ”

"Then, I don't know if the Dan furnace of the Jade Dragon Temple can be borrowed?" Mu Qingge asked again, this is the most important thing, Xia Yi also knows that there is a Dan furnace in the Jade Dragon Temple. But he doesn't have that much face, so he can't borrow it.

"I'll accompany Gongzi Qin on a trip, I have a few relationships with the master of the Jade Dragon Temple, and he may sell me face."

Mrs. Zhuang said it very politely, but Mu Qingge knew that since she said so, she had to at least have an eighty percent certainty. She really didn't guess wrong, these business people, whether they are Buddhist temples and Taoist temples, will donate some sesame oil money. So the network will be wider.

Mrs. Zhuang arranged for her henchmen to guard Zhuang Ze well, and then took Mu Qingge and his party to the Jade Dragon Temple.

As soon as he left Zhuang Ze's room, he saw Zhuang Cheng anxiously waiting outside.

"Mother, Qin Gongzi, how is Ze'er?"

"Don't worry, Gongzi Qin and I are now going to the Jade Dragon Temple to borrow the Dan furnace to refine medicine. If you can refine the elixir, Ze'er will be saved......"

"Then the daughter-in-law will come with you." Before Mrs. Zhuang's words were finished, Zhuang Cheng said anxiously.

"No need, we promised His Royal Highness that he would prepare meals for the people who built the embankment, and you urged everyone to prepare them well at home. As long as the elixir is refined. We will be back soon. Mrs. Zhuang rejected Zhuang Cheng's kindness.

Mu Qingge didn't speak, but he was secretly strange in his heart.

"Are you wondering why I lied to my daughter-in-law?" Sitting in the carriage, Mrs. Zhuang directly expressed Mu Qingge's doubts.

This is someone else's, Mu Qingge instinctively wants to shake his head. After thinking about it, he finally nodded, since Mrs. Zhuang proposed it, she wanted to say.

"Because Cheng is not Ze'er's biological mother." Mrs. Zhuang said slowly.

Mu Qingge was stunned, she didn't expect it to be like this, she had always been strange that Zhuang Cheng was Zhuang Ze's mother. It should be the least suspicious. If she is not Zhuang Ze's mother-in-law, then there is a reason, no wonder Mrs. Zhuang has been avoiding her.

"Cheng's ancestral home is in the Tianshan Mountains." Mrs. Zhuang continued.

Tien Shan, in the far north. The fox grass comes from the bitter cold of the far north.

However, Zhuang Ze is the only child of the Zhuang family, and she is also raised in the name of Zhuang Cheng, so she should not treat Zhuang Ze like this. Moreover, even if you want Zhuang Ze's life, it seems that there is no need to go to such great lengths. Also, Mrs. Zhuang said that she couldn't tear her face with Zhuang Cheng now. It seems that he has concerns about Zhuang Cheng's family, and this concern is even more important than his grandson's life. Mu Qingge had many doubts in his heart, but he didn't ask them, after all, it was someone else's family matter. If Mrs. Zhuang doesn't say it, there is naturally a reason not to say it.

Mrs. Zhuang didn't say much more, and the carriage soon arrived at the Jade Dragon Temple.

The master of the Jade Dragon Temple is a middle-aged Taoist priest with fairy wind bones, and he seems to be very familiar with Mrs. Zhuang. When Mrs. Zhuang proposed to borrow the alchemy furnace, he did not hesitate and agreed directly.

After Mu Qingge thanked him, he asked Xia Yi to take the lime and clay he bought yesterday to the alchemy room.

After all, it is not something that belongs to this era, and Mu Qingge did not let everyone follow up to watch.

The raw materials were ground yesterday and directly put into the alchemy furnace for calcination.

After waiting for about an hour, Mu Qingge opened the alchemy furnace, looked at the cement clinker inside, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Shang Qirui went to the prison of the Wucheng Mansion early in the morning to bring the prisoners out, and last night he found a suitable candidate according to the file records. He personally went to Lingyun Street in the east of the city, identified himself, and talked about the construction of the embankment. These poor people had never seen an official from the capital for several generations, let alone a prince, and they were immediately excited, and they expressed their willingness to build a dam. also knelt and kowtowed to Shang Qirui, thanking him for considering the people of Wucheng.

Shang Qirui was also moved by the enthusiasm of these people, the more people living at the bottom, the simpler the requirements. Those who can be officials often fail to meet even their simplest requirements.

The results of the morning were very good, everyone's passion was very high, the dealer was also very trustworthy, and there was no shortage of materials that he promised to send. The midday meal was also delivered early.

"Your Highness, if this continues, the embankment will be repaired soon." Hu Li was also enthusiastic watching on the sidelines, he didn't expect such a difficult thing to be solved so quickly under the dedication of the three princes.

Hu Li had empty ambitions in the past, but he has always been looked down upon. I can't show my talents. Unexpectedly, the third prince would personally come to him, talk to him about water conservancy knowledge, and bring him to Wucheng regardless of the ridicule of others. Before today. For Hu Li, Shang Qirui only has the grace of knowing the encounter. But now, he already admires Shang Qirui from the bottom of his heart.

"If only it could go so smoothly." Shang Qirui sighed, he didn't know why, he always had a bad premonition in his heart.

knew that Shang Qirui's trip to Wucheng was under a lot of pressure. Hu Li was about to comfort and comfort Shang Qirui, but he suddenly smiled very happily, and all his previous worries and tiredness were gone.

In surprise, he looked at Shang Qirui's eyes, and saw Mu Qingge looking at them and smiling happily.

As for Mu Qingge, Hu Li had already heard about it from the mouths of the two guards. Shang Qirui was seriously injured in the leg during the battle to recover Jincheng, and it was this Qin Ge and his master Ji Junyi who treated Shang Qirui's injury. According to the guards, they were scared of the injury on Shang Qirui's leg at that time. Doctor Ji has been on the battlefield for a long time, and it is reasonable to be calm and calm in the face of Shang Qirui's injury. At such a young age, Qin Ge went to the battlefield for the first time. When treating Shang Qirui's wounds, he didn't even shake his hands. The two guards were full of admiration when they said it. Hu Li knew that there were many talented people in this world, and he also knew that the two guards who followed the three princes were more knowledgeable than himself. Therefore, he does not look down on his mother because she is young, but thinks that he can be unanimously praised by everyone at such a young age, which is very remarkable.

Shang Qirui had already stepped in front of Mu Qingge in a few steps and asked happily, "Why did you come here?" ”

"I went to treat Young Master Zhuang's illness, and I heard that His Highness was building a dam here. So I came over and took a look. ”

Mu Qingge smiled on his face, but he sighed in his heart, Shang Qirui didn't seem to be a very unreasonable person. I really don't know how the original owner offended him, and he had to risk exposure to help him.

"That's right. I haven't thanked you yet. Shang Qirui asked a few words about the situation of Zhuang Xiaogongzi, and suddenly said.

"Thank me for what?" Mu Qingge was stunned for a moment, not understanding what he meant.

"Thank you for your construction." Shang Qirui pointed to the person who was working, "I really don't know how your head grows, I admire you for coming up with such a good idea so quickly." ”

While saying. He also grabbed Mu Qingge's shoulders and rubbed her head.

Mu Qingge is now small and weak, and he can't break free from Shang Qirui's clutches at all, and said with a wry smile: "Your Highness, that's not necessarily a good idea." ”

I really didn't expect that Doctor Ji actually told Shang Qirui that the idea was his own.

"I said that it is good to mention yì, you can rest assured, no matter what bad things happen in the future, this mention yì has nothing to do with you." Shang Qirui assured.

The more Mu Qingge looked at it, the more he felt that Shang Qirui was not an unreasonable person, and couldn't help but ask boldly: "Your Highness, can I ask you a question?" ”

"What's the problem, you say." Shang Qirui proudly put his arm on Mu Qingge's shoulder and said without hesitation.

"Are you in such a hurry to rebuild the embankment because you know that there will be floods in Wucheng?"

Feeling the strength on his shoulders sink, Shang Qirui's eyes instantly became sharp when he looked at him, Mu Qingge already had the answer in his heart, but he said lightly: "Does Your Highness still look at the celestial phenomena?" It's amazing. ”

Shang Qirui breathed a sigh of relief, secretly laughed at himself for being too cautious, relaxed his expression and said to Mu Qingge: "I won't look at the celestial phenomena, but someone will." ”

"I worship those who can see the heavens." Mu Qingge said in a slightly exaggerated tone.

Seeing that the people who were working had begun to prepare to do things, Mu Qingge said goodbye to Shang Qirui. Shang Qirui didn't stay long, but said that he would go to him after finishing this paragraph.

As soon as Mu Qingge returned to the carriage, he saw Xia Yi's expression was ugly. In order to avoid some unnecessary troubles, Mu Qingge did not take Xia Yi and Su Mu Poria to see Shang Qirui, but their carriage was not far away, presumably Xia Yi saw Shang Qirui's actions just now.

"Cousin, it seems that you are very familiar with the third prince." Xia Yi finally couldn't help it.

"The relationship between the third prince and his brother is good, when I was in the capital, I occasionally disguised myself as a man to go out to play, and I just ran into it." Mu Qingge has a little headache, she has always disliked lying, because it takes countless lies to tell a lie. Sometimes, however, you can't tell the truth.

"The third prince doesn't know the identity of his cousin?" There was surprise in Xia Yi's tone.

"Yes." Mu Qingge only nodded, this is not a lie, Shang Qirui really didn't know that Qin Ge was Mu Qingge.

"Then I'll be relieved." Xia Yi muttered.

Mu Qingge was stunned for a moment, and was about to speak. Xia Yi suddenly said: "Cousin, I think you should not get too close to the third prince." ”

"What did my cousin say about this?"

"The third prince is the prince, and the royal affairs will be ruined if you are not careful. Especially, now that the reputation of the third prince is too high, this tree is not necessarily a good thing......" Xia Yi said as he saw Mu Qingge's face change, and he automatically stopped talking.

"Cousin Yi, I appreciate your concern for me. But, first, I don't have anything with the Third Prince. I am not helping the three princes, but the people of Wucheng. Second, the royal right and wrong are better to talk about less. Mu Qingge said lightly, this time he didn't mean to embarrass Xia Yi, but there were some things that he really couldn't say nonsense.

Xia Yi opened his mouth, but he didn't say anything after all, turned around and jumped to the front, and rushed to the car with the little guy. (To be continued.) )
