Coming out of the Linglong Wine Workshop, Shen Qingli had a porcelain bottle of fruit wine in his sleeve.

The white porcelain bottle is depicted with a faint picture of winemaking, from the picking of the fruit to the brewing process, to the wine dripping out of the barrel, densely painted a piece, the whole picture lines are light and delicate, if there is nothing, at first glance, like a feather lying on the ground.

After the old woman reported to her home, she got up and entered the house, took a bottle of fruit wine out, and said in a deep voice, this fruit wine is forty years old, rich and mellow, drink it with honey and water, not only can beautify the face, but also can detoxify, meet the noble person today, it is also fate, just give it to the nobleman!

Shen Qingli hurriedly thanked him, and he didn't have any silver on his body, so he took off the mutton fat bracelet on his wrist and gave it to her, but was rejected by the old woman, she said that life is only a hundred years, and the old slave is already a person who is about to enter the earth.

When Shen Qingli heard her say this, she felt strange, and always felt that she seemed to know something, so she asked the old man if he knew me?

Since it was a wine shop in the previous dynasty, then she might know her grandfather!

The old woman narrowed her expression: The old slave has not taken a step out of Chongshui for forty years, how can he know the nobleman? The people who are about to decay are not willing to recall the past, and only hope that the noble person will not mention the old body to others when he is out of Chongshui, so that the old body can live for a few more years.

Shen Qingli saw that her face was unusually solemn, and hurriedly said Old man, don't worry, I will not mention it to others.

After returning to Tingtao Pavilion, Shen Qingli hurriedly called Bi Tao and said that she should go out to find a cat or dog or something.

She really can't trust anyone lightly.

After a while, Bi Tao came in with her hands behind her back, and asked curtly, "Young lady." There are no cats and dogs in this garden, can parrots do? As he spoke, he brought a little green-haired and yellow-billed parrot to her, "The slave couldn't catch it, so she knocked it down with a stone, and she was wounded a little on her leg." ”

"Since there are no cats and dogs, it can only be it!" Shen Qingli smiled. Take out the bottle of cider. I pulled off the cork and poured a small spoonful into the bowl, and the fruit wine was indeed very rich and mellow. The color was very amber, and the old woman said it was forty years old, but she did not smell the wine at all, but felt a sweet fruity aroma coming to her face. Bi Tao picked up the spoon and fed it to the parrot, probably familiar with this fruity aroma. The parrot did not refuse, pecked a few mouthfuls in the spoon fiercely, ate the fruit wine in the spoon in three times and two times, and then raised his head to look at Shen Qingli. I can't get enough of it.

Shen Qingli saw that the parrot didn't see anything unusual, looked at the wound on its leg, and ordered, "Bandage it." Find a cage to keep up. ”

Maybe she's too much heart.

"Yes." Bi Tao held the parrot in her hand and retreated.

Ah Hua lifted the curtain and walked in, and reported: "Young lady." Mrs. Wang is here! ”

"Invite Madame to sit down in the main hall." Shen Qingli tidied up his clothes a little and walked out.

The two of them gave in to each other before sitting down and talking.

Bi Tao hurriedly stepped forward to serve tea.

"Young lady doesn't have to be polite, I'll leave as soon as I say a word." Wang asked quietly, "The young lady of Shicai went to the palace to play with her sister in the house, why did the young lady come back alone but not see her sister?"

"When we came back, when we met Lord Xu, my aunt stayed to talk to the adults, so I came back alone!" Shen Qingli naturally didn't say it, Xu Youze actually invited Xiao Wu to see the waterfall.

At that time, although Xu Youze strongly invited her to go to the valley to see the waterfall with her, Shen Qingli was worried that he would meet the prince of Jin, so he said that he was tired, so he went back to the garden alone.

It's just that Xu You openly left his wife in the garden and took his concubines to play around, which is really unreasonable.

But this is a private matter in other people's families after all, and Xiao Wu is Mu Yunting's aunt, and she treats herself well, so she naturally can't say anything.

Wang looked at Bi Tao and Ah Hua who were standing on the side, but did not speak or squeak.

Shen Qingli understood, and gave Bi Tao a look, Bi Tao understood, Fu Shen retreated, walked a few steps, and saw Ah Hua standing there like a wooden stake, and came back and dragged her, and the two retreated quietly.

Wang smiled at this time: "Young lady, don't misunderstand, I'm not aggrieved for myself, presumably the matter between the Wu family and the King of Jin, the young lady has also heard about it, but because of the seniority and taking into account the face of the Wu family, I don't want to speak out, this time the King of Jin came to Chongshui, but he didn't bring the Jin princess, it was actually the idea of the Wu family, of course, the young lady can believe it, or not, in short, the Jin princess was insulted like this, so she naturally refused to swallow this breath, and swore that the Wu family would not return, I don't think the young lady will watch the Wu family give up their lives in Chongshui! ”

"Madame mean that Princess Jin will send someone to plot against my aunt?" Shen Qingli's heart sank, seeing that Wang's expression was solemn, not like an alarmist look, he hurriedly called in Bi Tao, and ordered a few words, asking her to take Ah Hua to find Xiao Wu's back, Bi Tao and Ah Hua took the order and left, and asked, "I don't have anything to do with Mrs. Su Ri, I don't know why Mrs. did this?" ”

"It is true that I have nothing to do with the young lady Su Ri, but the current situation has changed, the emperor is bedridden, although the prince is in charge of the country, he has no real power, and the government is actually in the hands of the empress dowager, and the empress dowager is not waiting to see us in the first place, and this time because of the affairs of the Canglang Society, the future of our families is really worrying." Wang's eyebrows sank slightly, and he said, "I think we should join hands to tide over the difficulties, so in order to show my sincerity, I have no choice but to betray Princess Jin against my will, I hope that the young lady can persuade the Wu family to leave King Jin as soon as possible, so as not to attract death, you know that if I open my mouth to persuade her, she will definitely think that I am jealous of her!" ”

"Thank you Madame for telling me the truth, although you and I are from the same family, but our family backgrounds are very different, and now that my brother is in trouble, my mother's family is actually really declining." Shen Qingli naturally knew the twists and turns between the King of Jin and Xu Youze, she felt that it was enough for the Shilang Mansion to have the King of Jin, and there was really no need to join forces with a family like the Shen family to protect herself, unless this was what Xu Youze meant, that is to say, the Wang family was actually coming for Mu Yunting, thinking of this, Shen Qingli said again. "Right now, our Shen family, everyone can't avoid it, for fear of being implicated, where do you dare to join forces with your wife to take refuge."

"The young lady is serious, you and I are both from a family, and what do you say is not involved, there is a way to see the truth in adversity. If your Shen family has no wind and no waves. Qingyun is straight up, I'm afraid I won't even be able to enter the door! Seeing Shen Qingli's overtures to her, the Wang family didn't seem to be moved. continued, "Your Shen family is in trouble, how can Master Mu stand by and watch, everyone says." Muta's people have already taken a countermeasure, and they will never let your brother die. Right now, up and down the court, inside and outside the palace, I don't know how many eyes are staring at Muda! ”

"What do you mean, ma'am?" Shen Qingli asked quietly.

"As long as the son of the world has a word. The prince of Jin and my family will jointly play the prince and save the life of the young lady's brother. Wang took the opportunity to say.

After a long time, I finally got to the point!

knew that it was Mu Yunting that King Jin and Xu You wanted to woo. It's not a family friendship.

Shen Qingli said lightly: "Madame also said just now that the situation has changed, and the emperor is bedridden. The crown prince has no real power in the country, the government is in the hands of the queen mother, and the queen mother doesn't like our previous dynasty, and now the brother has been convicted, presumably anyone who intercedes will be useless, so this matter will not bother the prince of Jin and Lord Xu! ”

"It seems that the young lady still doesn't believe in my family and Lord Jin!" The corners of Wang's mouth turned up slightly.

"It's not that I don't believe in Lord Xu and Lord Jin, but I really can't be the master of such a big thing, let's wait for the prince to come back!" The Wang family did this, just to let her blow the wind on the pillow and let Mu Yunting take the initiative to come to the door to beg.

Wang had to nod yes.

The two chatted casually for a few more words before Wang said goodbye and left.

Subsequently, Bi Tao and Ah Hua came in and said that Xiao Wu had followed Master Xu back to Sanssouci Xuan, Shen Qingli was relieved, originally wanted to go to Sanssouci Xuan to find Xiao Wu to sit down, and reminded her politely, and thought that it was not unharmonious to talk to Wang, so he didn't go over, thinking that he would wait for an opportunity to tell her about it.

It wasn't until sunset that Mu Yunting returned to Tingtao Pavilion, and there were two young men of the same age who came back with him, and the three of them entered the main hall talking and laughing, and their words and demeanors were very intimate.

Mu An ran to Shen Qingli and said, "Young lady, the prince invited two old friends in Chongshui to have a small gathering, and said that the young lady would prepare dinner. ”

Shen Qingli was stunned when he heard this, because he was temporarily staying here for a few days, there were not many ingredients prepared in the kitchen at all, just a few home-cooked side dishes, if it was dark today, and there was no supermarket, where to buy vegetables?

Seeing that Shen Qingli was a little embarrassed, Mu An patted his head and said with a wry smile: "I forgot to tell Mrs. Sù, the prince of the future and they went hunting in the mountains, and there is a pile of game in the kitchen!" ”

Ah, and game!

Shen Qingli walked into the kitchen with easy steps, and instructed Bi Tao and Ah Hua to boil boiling water and prepare to clean up the game on the ground.

Mu Yunting took the time to go back to the kitchen, and when he saw Shen Qingli, who was very busy, he chuckled and said, "Don't bother too much, just set up a fire in the garden like last time, just roast and eat." ”

"Look at you, don't send someone back early to say hello when you bring someone back for dinner, I'll be ready." Shen Qingli said angrily.

"They are all former comrades-in-arms, don't be too elegant, just do something." Mu Yunting stood behind her and stretched out his hand to grab her, bit her earlobe, and said, "They are all clamoring to see you, and I am still hesitating in my heart, whether I should let my daughter-in-law go out to meet them." ”

Bi Tao hurriedly turned his back.

Ah Hua walked past the two of them with a calm demeanor.

"I listen to you, if you let me out, I'll go out." Shen Qingli broke his hand embarrassedly and smiled at him, she felt that she had too much to say to him after not seeing him for a day.

"Okay, when I think about it, I'll have someone call you." Mu Yunting smiled, let go of her, and walked to the basin to wash his hands.

Those two rough men didn't know how to blink when they saw a woman, and he didn't want his daughter-in-law to let them stare like that.

Shen Qingli's eyelids jumped a few times, and she suddenly had an indescribable feeling in her heart, just like the palpitations she had when she first went to the coachman she met in Nanliyuan Village, she didn't think so at the time, but then she really met King Jin and something like that, now she believes in her hunch very much, thinking of this, she took a cloth towel and handed it to him, and said in a low voice: "Shizi, how long have you not seen them?" ”

"It's been about two or three years! Although their home is in Chongshui, but they are also in the field as an errand, when I came before, I didn't meet them at home, this time it happened that they were all there, no, they heard that I was coming, so they immediately came to see me, and we went hunting in the mountains together! Mu Yunting took the cloth towel, wiped his hands, and said, "They are all brothers who were born and died when they were in Youzhou to quell the rebellion, even if they don't meet often, they are all trustworthy good brothers." ”

"The son of the world, people's hearts are unpredictable, no matter how close the people are, they don't see each other for a long time, and they don't know what they have become. Shen Qingli admonished, "I have a strange feeling that the two of them are not good. ”

"What's wrong with you?" Mu Yunting raised his hand and scratched her nose, "Always suspicious, don't worry, I know that someone wants to plot against me, so I have strengthened the guards, you see that it has not been peaceful in the past few days, I have arranged for Xu Zheng to enter the Tai Hospital, let him stay here and treat the emperor wholeheartedly, and I will arrange this side of the matter tomorrow, and we will return to the capital the day after tomorrow." ”

Shen Qingli instructed Bi Tao and Ah Hua to go to the garden to prepare wooden charcoals, and he put the cleaned up rabbits and pheasants into the wooden basin, and while sprinkling seasonings on them, he told Mu Yunting about Mrs. Wang's intentions, and said: "I don't know what their idea is, anyway, I don't want you to have anything to do with them, and now that they are all here, and they want to entrap you, we still have to guard against it." ”

"Thank you Madame for reminding me, I see!" Mu Yunting nodded thoughtfully, kissed her, and said in a low voice, "If I don't call you, don't go out, just stay in the house, there are secret guards in the yard to protect you, don't worry about me." ”

"Then you have to be careful." Shen Qingli instructed.

"Don't worry." Mu Yunting walked out of the kitchen.

Shen Qingli also took off his apron, entered the back room, asked Mu An to call Gong Si in, and said a few words, and Gong Si took the order and left.

Moontop treetops,

A bonfire is lit.

Four or five fragrant hare pheasants hung on the fruit wood shelf, and Ah Xiang sat expressionlessly watching the charcoal fire, and the blue flames gently licked the delicacies on the wooden shelf, making a sizzling sound.

A few days ago.

The beating firelight reflected three faces with different expressions, Mu Yunting looked at the two people sitting beside him, smiled slightly, and raised the wine glass in his hand: "Two brothers, please." (To be continued)
