Chapter 210: A Discussion on Forests and Bamboo (2)

Spring is the season of revival of all things, and everything is so beautiful and vibrant. Whether it's the bud of the inconspicuous grass on the side of the road, or the water that has just broken the ice wrinkled by the breeze, it makes people feel comfortable.

At this time, Lu Mingtao stood in front of the fourth master Mu Qiyue with a bright mood.

"Put away your good mood." From Mu Qiyue's somewhat gloomy tone, it was obvious that his affection was not particularly good.

"Ha Luha, it's rare for me to tell the fourth master some good news," Lu Mingtao said as he sat on the chair opposite Mu Qiyue and poured himself a cup of tea, "It's still good for the fourth master to have something here, this tea is much better than mine there." ”

"Didn't you bring me the tea here?" Mu Qiyue glanced at Lu Mingtao, what kind of garlic to pretend.

"Hehe, the best thing is of course for the fourth master." Lu Mingtao was not embarrassed at all, and laughed twice.

"You'd better say important things, or don't blame me for being unkind to you." Mu Qiyue was worried about some things, but Lu Mingtao was gloating here, which really annoyed him.

"Fourth master, dissipate your anger and have a cup of tea." Lu Mingtao poured a cup of tea for Mu Qiyue with his own hands, "Isn't it just to look at a few women?" Why take it too seriously? If the snicker on the corner of Lu Mingtao's mouth hadn't been exposed, his persuasion might have comforted Mu Qiyue.

"Is there anyone in the capital who doesn't know the way?" Mu Qiyue looked at the increasingly uncontrollable smile on the face of his subordinate and friend, and his heart was even more angry.

"Haha Lu Mingtao finally broke the battle, "Now the capital is betting on those young ladies to see which one can get your blue eyes." Lu Mingtao couldn't stop laughing, "The wives of the fourth young master of the dignified Qing Palace's mansion are all from concubines, and Princess Qing is really discerning." ”

Try the royal relatives, of course, their children can't choose the daughters of some small families as the main wife, but no one expected that they would choose from some big families, which is a big surprise in the capital. Everyone said that although Mu Qiyue was summoned by the emperor, he might not know how to reprimand him, so Qing Wangfu had already given up on this son. Messed around with a wife for him.

"Hmph. I guess those people don't want to marry someone like me who has a slim future. Mu Qiyue said self-deprecatingly, his eyes full of sarcasm. This is his own relative, in order to exclude him from the selection of the prince of the palace, he actually did such a trick in his marriage.

"Fourth master. You won't get what they want anyway. Why overthink? Lu Mingtao, who finally finished laughing, said. Again. You don't care about this Qingwang Mansion, I will give you another palace in the morning and evening. Lu Mingtao pointed to the sky, and the emperor established the Muyue Commercial Bank because of him. I don't know how much silver I have earned for the emperor's private treasury, and I can't get any fame and fortune, so I don't have to stare at the position of King Qing's son at all.

"The trees want to be quiet, but the wind does not stop. Philistines disturb themselves. Mu Qiyue said two words lightly, one for himself and the other for others. He has always known that in the eyes of Prince Qing and Princess Qing, he is not only useless, but if they are not reminded by people, they may not notice their existence. From the age of ten, he already understood this fact.

Therefore, Mu Qiyue's body has always been bad, but he still can't get care. When Princess Qing gave birth to Mu Qiyue, it was the time when Prince Qing favored the side concubine the most, at that time, Prince Qing very much wanted to get a daughter, and the side concubine really gave birth to a daughter, and the princess gave birth to a son.

Although the fortune teller's words cannot be fully believed, after Mu Qiyue was born, the princess first fell seriously ill after giving birth, and then Prince Qing was reprimanded by the emperor, and several brothers and sisters were sick and injured, just like confirming the words of the fortune teller. The entire palace had an instinctive dislike for the newborn Mu Qiyue.

So Mu Qiyue didn't even live as a subordinate before he was ten years old. It wasn't until Yu Lu met Mu Qingyu and Mu Qingqi, brothers who had not yet become emperors, that he had a chance to survive, otherwise he would have died of illness within a few years with his small body, and he would not have had a chance to save Lu Mingtao.

Although Mu Qingyu never summoned Mu Qiyue again after becoming the emperor, it does not mean that they have become alienated from each other, on the contrary, after Mu Qiyue showed his extraordinary business talent, he took on the function of accumulating a small treasury for Mu Qingyu in private. Lu Mingtao also knew about this situation, so he mentioned that if Mu Qiyue wanted this kind of title, he would be able to get it.

"The fourth master doesn't have to worry about this, your wife will definitely get the emperor's consent." Lu Mingtao was sincerely comforted, "Let's talk about something happy." He took a sip of tea before he said, "Miss Lin has agreed, and the rice seeds will be prepared before spring ploughing, and the days are almost over." ”

"The fourth master is really like a god, how do you know that Miss Lu Daolin still has special rice seeds?" Seeing Mu Qiyue's appearance that I had known for a long time, Lu Mingtao asked with some curiosity. At that time, when he made a contract with Lin Zhu in Linjia Village, he looked at Lin Zhu and said that he could only provide seeds for 100 acres of land.

"People get used to leaving a way out for themselves." Mu Qiyue glanced at Lu Mingtao, "If it were you, would you show all your hole cards?" ”

In fact, Lu Mingtao is also a fan of the authorities, he thinks that Lin Zhu, a child who is only a teenager, should not have so many scheming, so he believes it. Now this situation makes him have to face up to the fact that although Lin Zhu is young, he has no eyes at all.

"Miss Lin is really impressive." Lu Mingtao sighed.

"How was that matter in Kobayashizhuang handled?" Mu Qiyue had already heard that General Chang's Mansion had confiscated his land and property by the government before he recovered it.

"Miss Lin has already returned the grange to General Chang's Mansion, but the new Zhuangzi is not far away." Lu Mingtao recounted the scene when he saw Lin Zhu, "However, doesn't General Chang's Mansion know about Miss Lin?" Otherwise, how could she find her so easily? ”

"There should be very few people who know about her existence, and General Chang will not let her be exposed to people too early." Mu Qiyue said in a low voice, "Isn't it always rumored in the capital that General Chang's Mansion is choosing a wife for Chang Tianlei?" ”

"Also, if Miss Lin appears, the position of this wife has nothing to do with others." Lu Mingtao nodded, no matter whether Chang Tianlei and Lin Zhu have a personal relationship, an orphan girl has taken him in for so long, as long as the matter is reported, for the reputation of Lin Zhu and General Chang's Mansion, Chang Tianlei will also have to marry Lin Zhu.

However, in Lu Mingtao's opinion, it is impossible for Lin Zhu to marry Chang Tianlei, firstly, in the few days he lived in Linjia Village, he did not see that Lin Zhu had a special attitude towards Chang Tianlei, and secondly, he found that Lin Zhu meant almost the same as Chang Tianlei and his sister to his younger brother, a little girl in her teens, treated a teenager who was five years older than her as a younger brother, no matter how she thought about it, Lu Mingtao felt funny.

Thinking about it, I laughed unconsciously.

"Is this funny?" Mu Qiyue frowned and asked, he felt that Lu Mingtao was laughing too much at him today.

"Fourth master, when Chang Tianlei was in Linjia Village, Miss Lin seemed to regard her as a younger brother." Lu Mingtao said with a smile that he had seen Lin Zhu preach to Chang Tianlei once.

"Is there something wrong?" Mu Qiyue didn't think so, although he heard from Lu Mingtao's mouth that this Lin Zhu girl was relatively young, but her style of acting was not like a child at all, on the contrary, some of Chang Tianlei's previous actions or rumors in the capital made Mu Qiyue feel that he was ignorant of the world, and it was natural to be preached.

"This time, General Chang's Mansion will take back Miss Lin's Grange, and Chang Tianlei will also be taught by her." Lu Mingtao looked like he was watching a good show.

"You seem to be very concerned about this Lin girl." Mu Qiyue glanced at Lu Mingtao, who was gloating.

"Don't bother too much about doing business with Miss Lin." Lu Mingtao thought for a while and said, "As long as we treat her well here, she won't let us down." Lu Mingtao said with confidence.

"It seems that I have a chance to meet this Miss Lin, otherwise, maybe one day, she will poach my most powerful master, and I won't know what to do." Mu Qiyue said jokingly.

"What does the fourth brother want to know?" Suddenly, an unpleasant voice came from Mu Qiyue's door.

Mu Qiyue and Lu Mingtao were startled, and both looked up at the comer.

"What good things did the big boss Lu come to give my fourth brother who didn't make it possible?" The person who came walked into the house in a chic manner, but it was not yet the height of summer, but he was holding a folding fan in his hand, and looked at Lu Mingtao is head full of black lines.

"I've seen the eldest prince." The person who came was Mu Qiyue's eldest brother Mu Qichen.

"Lu Da is too polite." Although he said so, Mu Qichen was still very satisfied with Lu Mingtao's humility. He sat down in his chair without a smile. "What is the fourth brother talking about with Lu Dazhang? So lively! ”

To be honest, the conversation between Mu Qiyue and Lu Mingtao was not lively at all, and the two of them tried to keep their voices as low as possible.

"Hehe, the eldest prince smiled." Lu Mingtao spoke before Mu Qiyue, "The fourth prince just asked Lu about the special white rice that was tributed. ”

"Really?" Mu Qichen also became interested, "How about Lu Da also sell some to Qingwang Mansion?" You can rest assured, the price will not be less than that in the palace. His tone seemed to have become that of King Qing's son, with an expression that could call the shots. (To be continued......)
