"Your Highness, this is not appropriate!" The two guards looked at each other, but they didn't agree.

If you want those criminals to work hard, you have to make a promise to save them first. However, even if the sin is small, it is a crime. How can a prince pardon criminals, and why should he promise them that he will be worthwhile. Once this matter is done, no matter how great Shang Qirui's credit is in the end, it will leave a handle for others. The courtiers are more disciplined, which is already suspicious, and the prince's more disciplined is even more terrifying.

Besides, those people are criminals, and who can guarantee that they won't do anything else?

What the two guards could figure out, how could Shang Qirui not think of it? It's just that he understands how strict the disaster in Wucheng is this time, so he can't sit idly by.

"Needless to say, this matter is settled, and I will talk about it later, I will go to Song Qing now." Shang Qirui directly came to the conclusion that the people who wanted the Wucheng Yamen naturally had to ask for the consent of the Song Governor's Mansion.

"Your Highness, why don't you think about it again." Doctor Ji endured it for a long time, but still persuaded.

Shang Qirui was stunned, the idea was originally proposed by Doctor Ji, and now he persuaded himself to think about it again?

"Mr. Ji, this idea was come up with someone else, right?" Shang Qirui said suddenly.

Doctor Ji hesitated for a while, and finally said, "It's Qin Ge." ”

Shang Qirui's eyes flashed with a bright light, that kid is really smart! is so alert at a young age, when this time is over, take him back to the capital, a talent like him should not be buried.

No longer asked, Shang Qirui went straight to the mansion.

As expected, the Song prefect did not agree to release the prisoners. Shang Qirui had no choice but to talk to him and directly ordered him to release him.

"The third prince, is this trying to fight for merit and want to go crazy?" Waiting until Shang Qirui left, Wu Tongju muttered.

"Hmph, he brought it on himself." Governor Song snorted coldly, "I just received news from the capital." ”

When the carriage stopped at the gate of the Xia Mansion, Mu Qingge had already changed back into women's clothes in the carriage.

Compared with the atmosphere of the wooden mansion, the luxury of the Zhuang mansion. Xia Fu is really a bit shabby.

"Brother, are you back?" A little girl wearing a bright yellow embroidered hundred butterfly patterned skirt jumped into Xia Yi's arms at once.

The little girl and Mu Qingge are about the same age, with a good face and creamy skin. Seeing Mu Qingge's expression, he was a little proud. Mu Qingge knew that this was Xia Yi's sister-in-law, Xia Shang, Xia Sheng was two months younger than Mu Qingge.

"Is this Cousin Qingge? Didn't you say a cripple? How does it look good? ”

Xia Shang's words made everyone embarrassed. It was too late for Xia Yi to stop it. Su Mu Poria didn't dare to attack because of the other party's identity, and as for the people of the Xia family, they were silent.

On the contrary, it was Mu Qingge who smiled indifferently: "So, it's better to see than to hear." I've always heard my cousin say that my second cousin is dignified and generous, smart and smart. ”

Everyone was stunned, and Mu Qingge's words obviously meant that Xia Shang was not dignified and generous enough. But she didn't really say it, and she still had a sincere smile on her face, which made people unable to refute it.

"Miss Table, please come inside. The lady and the old lady knew that you were coming, and they waited early in the morning. The housekeeper of the Xia family was the first to react, and hurriedly invited Mu Qingge inside.

"I'm tired." Mu Qingge generously entered the door of the Xia Mansion. It's as if the unpleasantness just now didn't happen.

Xia Sheng only reacted at this time, and Mu Qingge scolded her just now.

With a glaring eye and an eyebrow, Xia Shang was about to get angry, but was pulled by Xia Yi: "Sister, it's pitiful enough that Sister Qingge's poor health is enough, and you still scold her for being crippled, it's really too much." ”

Xia Sheng was stunned: "I didn't scold her, it's just strange." ”

Xia Yi knew that her sister didn't have any heart, and seeing her like this, she also understood that she didn't mean it just now. sighed and said, "Forget it, don't talk like that in the future, it hurts too much." ”

Xia Sheng was not happy that Mo Sangyu scolded her. Now thinking about Mu Qingge being scolded and crippled since he was a child, I don't know how pitiful it is. I sympathized with Mu Qingge in my heart, nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will protect Cousin Qingge in the future." ”

Although Mu Qingge entered the door, Xia Shang's voice was not small, but she heard this sentence. There was a slight pause in his footsteps.

Xia Yi shook her head, afraid that her mother and grandmother would embarrass Mu Qingge, so she didn't say much, and strode in.

Mrs. Xia and Mrs. Xia are dressed in a relatively low-key manner, Mrs. Xia is slightly fat, and Mrs. Xia is slightly thin, but they are both gentle and amiable. As soon as Mu Qingge saw it, a feeling of closeness rose in his heart. In ancient times, for so long, only these two felt like simple elders to her. In the Mu family, the Qin family and others would also make mild forms, but she could see at a glance that it was pretending.

Su Mu said that when they came to Xia Mansion when they were young, they were also very good to the original owner.

"Qingge greets her grandmother and aunt." Mu Qingge hurriedly walked a few steps and bowed in front of Mrs. Xia and Mrs. Xia, with a soft voice, a sincere smile, and an intimate attitude.

Mrs. Xia and Mrs. Xia had also seen Mu Qingge before, and knew that she had a strange personality because she was sick all the year round, and she was extremely difficult to get along with. So when they learned that Mu Qingge came to the house, they were actually reluctant in their hearts, mainly because they were afraid that they would accidentally make Mu Qingge unhappy, and their good intentions would end up doing bad things. Now that I see that Mu Qingge is not only in good health, but also has a much more likable personality, my heart has already opened up.

Mrs. Xia even affectionately pulled Mu Qingge up, hugged her in her arms and asked long and short questions.

Mu Qingge smiled skillfully in Mrs. Xia's arms, saying interesting things about the capital and along the way, of course, he concealed things like pretending to be a man to save people. It made Mrs. Xia and Mrs. Xia very happy.

"Wucheng is really a blessed land, when Cousin Yi arrived in the capital, I was still in a wheelchair. I didn't expect to rush these roads, and as soon as I arrived in Wucheng, my body was more than half better. Mu Qingge said happily, his eyes were shining.

Xia Yi and the others finally put their minds at ease and laughed. Su Mu smiled and smiled, but suddenly turned his back and quietly wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes. Miss is finally willing to get close to her elders, these years, in the Mu family, it is really difficult for her.

"Since it's a blessed land, you must stay longer." After all, it is her own granddaughter, and when she sees Mu Qingge now, Mrs. Xia is reluctant to let go when she hugs her.

He took out the meeting gift that had been prepared in advance and gave it to Mu Qingge, which was a tourmaline bracelet. Mrs. Xia's gift was also prepared early, purple jade earrings.

Mu Qingge has also seen the world in the Mu family. Seriously, Mrs. Xia and Mrs. Xia's gifts are actually not particularly valuable. But Mu Qingge was still happy, and he was reluctant to take it off when he put it on the spot. The gifts sent out were liked, and Mrs. Xia and Mrs. Xia were even happier.

Mu Qingge also took out the gift that Xia had prepared. They were given to the elders of the Xia family.

"Is this Cousin Qingge? It's beautiful, it's not like the legend. ”

While they were giving gifts, two more women came in. One looked bigger than Mu Qingge, and a little smaller. It's all the same as summer clothes, and they are dressed very exquisitely. Although these words are implicit. But the meaning is the same as the meaning of Xia Shang's words when he first entered the door. It's just that Xia Shang is unintentional, but these two don't seem to be unintentional.

Mrs. Xia introduced Mu Qingge, the older one is called Xia Luo, and the younger one is called Xia He, both of whom are daughters of the Xia family.

Mu Qingge frowned slightly, after staying in Dajin for so long, she also knew that the difference between her concubines and concubines was very big. To put it mildly, the children of the concubines are not much different from the slaves at home. It's in the Mu family. Those concubines and concubines also have to be people with their tails between their legs. However, in the Xia family, this Xia He and Xia Luo are completely treated the same as Xia Shang.

Of course, Mu Qingge wouldn't say what was in her heart, and it just so happened that she hadn't given Xia Sheng a gift yet. took out the hairpin prepared in advance, took one and handed it to Xia Shang. The remaining two motioned for Su Mu and Poria to hand them to Xia Luo and Xia He, respectively.

The three hairpins look similar, but if you look closely, you will find that the hairpins of Xia Shang are made of mutton fat white jade, while the other two are just ordinary white jade with better texture.

Xia Luo was already unhappy when she saw Mu Qingge asking the maid to give her a gift. At this time, I saw that Xia Shang's hairpin was better. whispered a few words to Xia He secretly.

Xia He was only nine years old, and his face changed after hearing Xia Luo's words, and he immediately ran to Xia Shang and said, "Second sister." Your hairpin is better than ours. ”

Xia Shang looked at the hairpin in Xia He's hand, and then looked at herself, and suddenly smiled, and said, "That's right, mine is better than yours." ”

It's a completely ostentatious tone, with a hint of surprise.

Mu Qingge couldn't help but shake his head. Then I saw Xia Luo looking at Mrs. Xia with an aggrieved look.

Seeing that Old Lady Xia wanted to speak, Mu Qingge hurriedly gave Xia Yi a look. The first time she met these sisters, there were some things that were difficult to say, but Xia Yi could say them.

"Sister, you are a concubine, your things should be better than others, what's so strange?" Xia Yi was smart and saw what Mu Qingge meant, "Sister Qingge is the granddaughter of Taifu, and she understands the rules of this concubine best." ”

When Mrs. Xia heard this, she closed her mouth again.

Xia He was too young to understand the meaning of these words. Xia Luo's face immediately changed, but when she saw that Mrs. Xia didn't mean to speak for herself, she squeezed out a smile again. Only Mrs. Xia was really happy when she heard this.

The Xia family is not so obvious about the difference between the concubines, and Mrs. Xia is a kind-hearted person, especially Xia Luo's mother is still stuffed into Xia Yongtu's room. Therefore, Mrs. Xia has always dared not be harsh to the aunts and concubines in the house. On the contrary, I was afraid that others would say that she abused her concubines and concubines, and sometimes she had to deliberately treat them better.

Now, Mu Qingge came, and as soon as he came, he didn't save face for the two concubines, and said that it was the rules of the Taifu Mansion, and Mrs. Xia suddenly felt that her spring was coming. I love Mu Qingge even more.

"Look, I'm really happy, Qingge is not in good health, and she must be tired after driving for so long, and we are still here to talk to her." Mrs. Xia smiled and broke the embarrassment in the room, "Qingge, do you want to rest for a while?" Let her go with you. ”

"Then it's going to trouble my cousin." Mu Qingge took the opportunity to retreat and secretly gave Xia Yi a look.

"Mother, I'll take my cousin to familiarize myself with the environment of Xia Mansion." Xia Yi also retreated after asking for instructions and followed Mu Qingge.

The Xia Mansion is not big, and the room for Mu Qingge is next door to Xia Shang, small and warm, and Mu Qingge likes it very much.

"Cousin Yi, I want to ask you to get me something." Mu Qingge saw that there was no one else, and sent Xia Sheng away before saying to Xia Yi.

"Cousin, if you want something, just ask, I'll get it back for you even if I try my best." Xia Yi saw that Mu Qingge trusted him so much, and a sense of pride instantly rose in his heart, patting his chest and guaranteeing him, looking like he was at home.

Mu Qingge looked funny, and he really couldn't help laughing: "It's not a big deal, don't work hard." I just want some clay and lime. ”

"This ......" Xia Yi was embarrassed and puzzled all of a sudden. His face also turned red, "What does my cousin want these things for?" ”

"These things can be of great use, I'll sue you when I succeed." Mu Qingge tilted his head and thought for a while, "Are these things easy to find?" ”

"Easy to find. It's easy to find, you can ask for as much as you want. Xia Yi was about to pat his chest, thinking that it wasn't a big deal, so he put his hand down again.

"It doesn't take much." Mu Qingge couldn't help but laugh.

Xia Yi went to buy clay and lime, but Mu Qingge sat aside but did not rest.

"Miss. What do you want clay and lime for? Poria asked puzzled.

Mu Qingge didn't answer, she had been wearing Dajin for more than half a year, and she hadn't gotten used to the fact that she was in ancient times now. The reason why he chose to come to Wucheng with Xia Yi was that he wanted to avoid Shang Qirui, and he didn't want to see everyone intrigue in the Mu family was also a very important reason. However, only now did I realize that the Xia family was not peaceful. Could it be that in ancient times, house fighting was really a necessary skill?

Mu Qingge clenched his fists, and he came. Then it is safe. Since it was self-defeating, then Quan Dang came to exercise his house fighting skills this time.

"What's wrong with you?" Only then did Mu Qingge notice that Su Mu and Poria were looking at him strangely.

"Cousin."

It just so happened that Xia Yi came back from shopping, and Mu Qingge was busy checking it out.

"Cousin, look, is that what you want? If it doesn't fit, I'll buy it again. Xia Yi was inexplicably a little apprehensive, if she couldn't do this little thing, would she make her cousin look down on her?

"That's it, thank you, cousin." Mu Qingge turned around and saw Xia Yi's eager eyes. Stunned for a moment, avoiding his eyes, he said, "That's right." There's one more thing I'm going to ask my cousin for help tomorrow. ”

"What's the matter?" Xia Yi asked anxiously.

"If I treat Zhuang Xiaogongzi tomorrow, I want my cousin to help me find a way to go out of the house." Mu Qingge looked at Xia Yi and smiled sweetly.

Xia Yi wanted to persuade Mu Qingge not to get too close to the dealer, but when she saw her smile, her heart jumped, and the words that came out of her mouth became: "Okay, no problem." ”

"Thank you, cousin. It's not too early, cousin, let's go and rest, if someone sees you staying in my room all the time, I'm afraid someone will gossip. Mu Qingge was still laughing, but the smile did not reach the bottom of his eyes.

Xia Yi's face froze, and a trace of injury flashed in his eyes, but he still politely said goodbye: "Then I'll go back, cousin...... You can come to me if you need it. ”

"Miss, I'm afraid the young master has misunderstood." Poria looked at Xia Yi's lonely back and was a little unbearable.

"What did he misunderstand?" Mu Qingge raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Miss Misunderstanding doesn't like him, she just uses him."

"I was using him in the first place."

Mu Qingge's words made Poria stunned in place.

"Poria cocos, can't you see Miss's hard work? How can you misunderstand Miss like this? Su Mu was quick in the end, and whispered to Poria, "Miss is Miss Mu Mansion, and she has an elder brother who is famous in the capital, and it is impossible to marry Young Master Cousin." The young master is interested in the young lady, but he is asking for harm. In order to keep the young master from getting hurt in the future, the young lady deliberately made herself a powerful person. You've been with Miss for so long, don't you know Miss's temperament? How can you say that? ”

Although Su Mu's voice was low, Mu Qingge could still hear it clearly. I couldn't help but be a little surprised, she had always known Su Muhui and Lanxin, but she still didn't expect her to understand her mind so well. Although she is not as great as Su Mu said, the desired effect is indeed the same. Su Mu, this girl, it's a pity to be a subordinate.

"Miss, I'm sorry, the slave maid has no beads, I misunderstood Miss." Poria is a straight person, and after listening to Su Mu's words, she immediately knelt on the ground and pleaded guilty.

Mu Qingge was about to pull Poria up, but the girl muttered again: "It's just that Young Master Cousin is too pitiful." ”

"You girl!" Su Mu slapped Poria cocos, "Young Master Cousin is the sister-in-law of the Xia family, how many girls like him, where do you need to be pitiful." ”

"Get up." Mu Qingge still pulled Poria up, "As long as you don't think about something that shouldn't be your own, no one can hurt anyone." ”

Poria sighed softly, but Su Mu's expression moved, Miss's words were a pun. (To be continued.) )
