Chapter 313: Confidence
"You go to Chongshui and come back to see me!" Mu Yunting glanced at Gong Si calmly, calmly took a sip of porridge, and said unhurriedly, "I've told you many times, no matter what happens, don't panic, this village is full of ordinary people, you ran in a panic, people thought something big had happened!" ”
He naturally knew what Huang Funuo was looking for him, but he hadn't come up with a countermeasure for the time being, so he didn't want to see him.
Judging from the current situation, Shen Ke, he can't keep it!
Because it was impossible for him to compromise with Huang Funuo for the sake of Shen Ke alone, so as to lead the troops to attack those former generals.
But the Empress Dowager Xiaoci has never been a person who compromises casually, maybe the threat will not be successful, but will directly give him an order to let him go on the expedition, before that, he thought of a foolproof way to deal with their mother and son.
"Yes." Gong Si confirmed that he had heard correctly, hesitated for a moment, turned his head to look at Shen Qingli, and saw that Shen Qingli's expression was as usual, and he didn't mean to interject at all, so he scratched his head and retreated stupidly.
Wait, what did the prince ask him to do in Chongshui?
After thinking about it, he understood the meaning of Mu Yunting, raised his eyebrows, turned over and walked out of Zhuangzi.
Immediately, a eunuch stepped forward: "What? Muslim people are not in South Pear Garden? ”
The people from the Yongding Marquis Mansion said that Mu Yunting went to Nanliyuan Village last night and didn't return overnight, why didn't he see anyone early in the morning!
"I suddenly remembered that yesterday the adults said that they were going to Chongshui early this morning, and I am afraid that I have already set off at this time." Gong gave a salute expressionlessly, "Father-in-law, please go back." The subordinates went to Chongshui to get the adults back. ”
As he spoke, he clamped the horse's belly hard and galloped away.
Kick up a puff of dust.
"Then let's go back to the palace and wait!" The eunuch was so dazzled by the dust that he couldn't open his eyes, so he hurriedly took out a handkerchief and wiped his eyes, and muttered in a low voice, "What the hell, I stained the clothes of the miscellaneous family!" ”
The group left in a huff.
After the two of them finished eating, Mu Yunting got up very diligently to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and brought them to the kitchen to wash, a series of actions. Shen Qingli was very puzzled. She got up and followed him into the kitchen, watched him clumsily brush the dishes, and asked puzzledly, "Shizi, have you encountered any difficulties?" ”
Blatantly delaying the time to enter the palace, not to mention. Why do you still take the initiative to do these trivial things that he doesn't even look at on weekdays. The person in front of her is so strange to her!
She had been with him for so long. Naturally, there is also an understanding of him, that is, the calmer the person, the more complicated the things he encounters.
"What's so difficult. I said, I'm going to please you. Mu Yunting smiled at her, washed the dishes and chopsticks, put them neatly in the cupboard, and wiped the pot with a rag, before walking to the basin to wash his hands, "There are so many people around the house, I can't show my advantages, I just want you to see, I'm also very good at living." ”
If you can't keep her brother, spoil her more!
"I said I'm not angry, you better hurry into the palace!" Looking at everything he did, Shen Qingli felt a trace of warmth in his heart, and smiled, "Don't delay the business because of me." ”
"Are you really not angry?" Mu Yunting dried his hands, put down the cloth towel, walked in front of her, looked at her, reached out to touch her face, and said with a smile, "I think you're still very unhappy." ”
"No more!" Shen Qingli blushed and pushed his hand away, "I said, as long as you don't doubt me, I won't be angry." ”
"Well, I don't doubt you anymore." Mu Yunting grabbed her hand and walked out, "How can Situ Kong compare with me, he doesn't even have the qualifications to be my opponent." ”
"If you know, it's good." Shen Qingli glanced at him with disgust, and said in a low voice, "If you doubt me for no reason, I will really ignore you, if a man doesn't believe in his woman, it means that this man is not confident at all, you should be confident that I won't fall in love with others." ”
"That makes sense." Mu Yunting nodded, turned his head to look at Shen Qingli, and quipped, "Listening to his wife's words is better than reading for ten years, it's not false at all." ”
The two of them walked out of the house while talking, and saw that there were villagers in the field harvesting upland rice, and laughter came from time to time.
"Look, in front of Wu Zhuangtou's land, let's go, let's help." Mu Yunting walked forward with great interest.
"Wait, you're going like this!" Shen Qingli grabbed him, "You have to change your clothes." ”
"Do you have a change of clothes here?" Mu Yunting was a little surprised.
"Of course." Shen Qingli smiled and said proudly, "A few days ago, I asked Taozhi and Bitao to decorate the house, and by the way, let them come over a few clothes and riding clothes that you don't wear much on weekdays. ”
"Yours is yours." Mu Yunting couldn't cry or laugh.
Not to mention, this woman is quite good at enjoying it.
The two changed their clothes, you look at me, I look at you, and they sneered at each other.
Mu Yunting has always worn silk with a halo, bright and bright, and he changed into a dark blue cotton robe, his temperament has not changed much, but it has not changed much, but it has added a bit of a homely feeling.
However, Shen Qingli has completely changed into a person, not only changed into a light blue cotton dress, but also wrapped her black hair in cotton cloth of the same color, the original graceful and luxurious woman is gone, replaced by a pretty little peasant woman, seeing Mu Yunting's heart throbbing, she couldn't help but step forward to pick her up, and strode to the bedroom.
"What are you doing?" Shen Qingli understood, his face flushed, and he said shyly, "Didn't you say that you would help Wu Zhuangtou harvest the crops?" It's broad daylight, so I don't want it......"
What if someone breaks in?
"I'll go back later." Mu Yunting couldn't help but put her on the bed, ripped off the bed curtain, kicked off his boots, turned over and pressed on her, and coaxed her gently, "Don't worry, no one will break in." ”
The curtain of the bed suddenly became beautiful.
A woman in a long gray dress entered the courtyard unhurriedly, and shouted with a smile, "Is the young lady in the house?" Zhuang Tou asked me to bring breakfast to the young lady. ”
"Someone's coming." Shen Qingli could hear that it was the voice of Zhuangtou's wife, Wang. Pushing the man on his body with a red face, if she is allowed to break in, what face will she have to come to Nanliyuan Village in the future.
Even if it's a husband and wife, it's not polite to do anything in broad daylight.
"I'm not paying attention!" Mu Yunting stopped his movements, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and took a punitive bite of her exposed white jade-like shoulder, and said, "Even if she comes in, it is she who should be embarrassed, not us." Isn't it? ”
"No! Hurry up! Shen Qingli heard him say this. His face turned even redder, and he pushed him hard with both hands, and whispered, "You get up first and deal with her away." Do you want to be watched at this time? ”
The man is too calm. Not a good thing.
"I don't care. Why are you so nervous? Mu Yunting's eyes sank, touching her fair and smooth skin, and her breathing became heavier and heavier. He lowered his head and whispered in her ear, "With me here, what are you worried about?" ”
"Young lady, are you there?" The sound is getting closer.
"This sister-in-law, are you looking for a young lady?" Outside the window, a cold voice sounded.
"Yes! What about the young lady? When Wang saw a young man in a dark robe suddenly appear in front of him, he stopped, pointed to the bamboo basket in the crook of his arm, and said with a smile, "I'll bring breakfast to the young lady." ”
"The young lady went out early in the morning and was not at home." The man glanced at her coldly, his eyes touched the basket in the crook of her arm, and said, "The young lady has already eaten, you better take these back!" I'll tell the young lady when I turn around. ”
"Well, I'll come to see her again at noon!" Wang had no choice but to nod in response, and when he saw that the man's face was expressionless, and his face was so heavy that it seemed to freeze, he couldn't help but shudder in his heart, and then he retreated stupidly, went home and took the sickle, covered his turban and went to the field.
"Did you send the food?" Wu Zhuangtou took off the cloth towel around his neck, wiped his sweat, and asked.
"You also said that the wife of the big family got up late and asked me to go later, but the people had already gone out with breakfast." Wang said angrily, "The first time the young lady came to live, the maids and servants didn't bring them, but we neglected the host." ”
"Hehe, it's my fault, I went back to see the young lady, I'll just accompany her." Wu Zhuang scratched his head and smiled.
The sun gradually climbed the treetops.
The two brandished the sickle and quickly cut a ridge of upland rice, sat on the ground to rest, Wang raised his head, touched the two figures coming towards him, the man was tall, the woman was petite, the two of them held hands, walked towards this side with a smile, their eyes lit up, and they said urgently: "Boss, look, it's Lord Mu and the young lady are here." ”
Wu Zhuangtou hurriedly got up to greet him, and when he saw that the two of them had changed into the clothes of ordinary people, he walked towards them with a smile on his face, and said in surprise: "Lord Mu, young lady, who are you?" ”
"Come and help you harvest your crops." Mu Yunting walked a few steps towards the rice field, stood with his hands in his hands, looked at the yellow upland rice, and said with a smile, "I heard that this year's harvest is good, congratulations!" ”
"The blessing of Lord Tomu and the young lady, this year's harvest is fifty percent more than last year's, as long as there are no natural disasters, as long as the court does not go to war, life will go on." Wu Zhuangtou smiled happily, "Thanks to the blessings of the imperial court, thanks to the blessings of all the adults." ”
"How dare you bother Lord Mu and the young lady." Wang smiled, saluted Mu Yunting Yingying, and hurriedly took Shen Qingli's hand, "Young lady, be careful of your step, come and sit here." ”
"We're really here to help." Shen Qingli said with a smile on his face, "You see that we have all changed our clothes, let's also experience the joy of a bumper harvest!" ”
"The young lady's skin and flesh are delicate, how can she hold the sickle." Wang insisted on refusing, glanced at her white and slender hand, and pulled her to the shade of a tree on the ground, took a bench for her to sit down, and said with a smile, "When it is right, I went to deliver food to the young lady, and the guards in the courtyard said that the young lady had gone out with breakfast, but we delivered the meal late." ”
"I don't have to deliver food, I like to make it myself." When Shen Qingli heard her say this, he felt embarrassed for a while, and hurriedly said, "Recently, Zhuangzi has been busy, and I can't bother it, so I'll go back later." ”
No wonder Mu Yunting was calm as usual, it turned out that he had already arranged a secret guard in the courtyard.
The Wang family didn't enter the door, but didn't the secret guard know everything about her and Mu Yunting, thinking that when the two of them were listening to me, there were still people listening outside, Shen Qingli blushed again, and there was no privacy wherever he went......
"I've only stayed for one night and I'm leaving, and the villagers are reluctant!" Wang said, seeing Shen Qingli's blushing face, he asked with concern, "Is the young lady uncomfortable, why is her face so red?" ”
"No, I guess I just walked." Shen Qingli smiled awkwardly, seeing that he was here, he added to the chaos, and hurriedly said, "Sister-in-law, go and get busy, don't worry about me, you accompany me like this, but I am very uneasy." ”
"Then the young lady sits, I'll go to work first." Wang did not refuse, rolled up his sleeves and went to the ground.
In the field, Mu Yunting also took a sickle and cut the rice like Wu Zhuangtou, and asked casually: "Since this year is a bumper harvest year, has the price of this rice fallen?" "Last year's grain harvest was poor, and rice prices remained high.
"It stands to reason that in a good harvest year, the price of rice will fall, but this year is very strange, this year is 20% higher than in previous years." Wu Zhuangtou quietly looked around, and said in a low voice, "Don't hide it from the people, someone is secretly buying rice at a high price, and the villagers privately guess that the new emperor wants to eradicate dissidents in order to consolidate his position, and maybe he will send troops to crusade against those old departments in the past, so far-sighted merchants take this opportunity to save some grain." ”
"Where did it all come from?" Mu Yunting asked in a deep voice, he really hadn't heard of this.
"It is word of mouth, the villagers all say that there is an unknown grain shop in the suburbs of Beijing to harvest rice at a high price, and the people are willing to sell the excess grain in their hands to him, and the grain shop here in the capital cannot receive grain, so they have to raise the price, so that the price of various pastries has also risen by three percent, and the big families can't notice it, but we people can't afford to eat the dim sum sold in the city." Wu Zhuangtou saw that Mu Yunting was very interested in this matter, so he mustered up the courage to ask, "Lord Mu, will the imperial court really eradicate dissidents and kill each other?" ”
"Nope! You can rest assured that the imperial court is now committed to recuperation and recuperation, and it will not easily provoke war. Mu Yunting frowned and said, "This is just a deliberate increase in grain prices by individual merchants." ”
Thinking of this, Mu Yunting put down the sickle, patted the dust on his body, and said, "You are busy, I still have something to do, so I will leave first." ”
After Mu Yunting sent Shen Qingli back to the Hou Mansion, he went to the Yamen without stopping.
Sent people to the street to inquire about the price of grain and the price of some pastries, and the news brought back by those subordinates was completely consistent with what Wu Zhuangtou said, the price of grain in the city had indeed risen by three percent, and many guards said with a bitter face, in the past, they could still eat pastries in the year, but this year is obviously a bumper year, but they can't afford to eat pastries.
Mu Yunting immediately ordered: "Go and invite me all the grain store owners within a radius of ten miles from the capital to come here, remember, the owner of the nameless grain store on the outskirts of the city must not be absent." ”
"Yes." The guards retreated.
"Shizi." Gong Si walked in in at this time, and saw that Mu Yunting had not yet entered the palace, so he hurriedly stepped forward and reminded, "Shizi, the emperor is still waiting for you in the palace!" ”
"Let's go!" Mu Yunting suddenly had an idea in his heart, and calmly got up and walked out. (To be continued......)
