Chapter 344: Satisfaction
Although Mu Qiyue did it very secretively, he was still seen by some sharp-eyed people, and they found that whether it was the owners of inns, restaurants and other businesses, or the officials who were accused, they all had one thing in common, that is, whether it was themselves or their families, they all ridiculed or slandered Lin Zhu in public places.
Moreover, they did not comment on this matter objectively, but the words they said were extremely mean, if it weren't for the existence of the General's Mansion, it was estimated that just these people who chewed their tongues would make Lin Zhu never be able to raise his head in the capital.
After discovering this, some people wondered if the previous things would be done by the General Mansion Chang? But even if it's really the general's handiwork, it's understandable. When those people wantonly ruined Lin Zhu's reputation, I didn't see anyone come out to administer justice. The General's Mansion counterattack is also reasonable.
Some people may think that it is too much, and it almost cuts off people's livelihood. Therefore, some people ran to the general's mansion as a victim and wanted to seek justice.
was coaxed out by the people of the General's Mansion with punches and kicks. General Chang sternly warned them that those punishments were light compared to the impact they caused by the expansion of the rumors and almost ruined the life of the Chang family's granddaughter. Although he didn't make a move this time, if they still didn't accept the lesson, then don't blame him for being ruthless.
As soon as General Chang's words were released, although some people didn't believe it, they couldn't find any clues to prove that General Chang had made a move, so they could only do it in disgrace.
"Hmph, count that kid as acquaintances." General Chang guessed and knew that all the things in Lu Dao were handled by Mu Qiyue. And the situation looks like now. He played very beautifully this time. Even the emperor praised him. General Chang was very satisfied with this.
"Fourth Brother Mu is indeed very human." Chang Tianlei admired it very much. If it were him. Surely not to that extent.
Dong Yuzhen also looked at Lin Zhu with a smile on her face, with a playful light in her eyes. Lin Zhu was a little embarrassed by her, blushing slightly, and sat aside without speaking.
"Hehe, this stinky boy is really not afraid of heaven and earth, and he dares to do anything." Old Doctor Zhang is a frequent visitor to the General's Mansion, but his words are not without pride, showing General Chang that he is not wrong about Mu Qiyue.
"Okay, isn't it just a jar of wine? The old man still loses. "General Chang and Doctor Zhang made a bet because of Mu Qiyue. It just depends on whether Mu Qiyue will be really angry with Lin Zhu.
Now it seems. This anger is really not small, and one-tenth of the official eunuchs in the capital have become punching bags.
The two old men also enjoyed watching it. The reason why General Chang didn't teach those people a lesson was also because it depended on how Mu Qiyue would do it.
A jar of special Zhuji sake was returned to Dr. Zhang, but General Chang did not give up. When people are happy, they must have good wine as a foil.
The two old men drank and talked happily. Naturally, the juniors won't bother.
So the three of them came to the courtyard where Lin Zhu lived. Sitting outside in the gazebo talking and chatting.
"Sister Xiaozhu. I'm in a much better mood now. Dong Yuzhen said with a smile, she is also relieved now, knowing that Lin Zhu is not only fine. And that kind of person did so much for her. I'm very happy for her.
"Hee-hee, I'm just as happy as Sister Jane." In the past few days, he has always been teased by Dong Yuzhen, Lin Zhu looked at the two people in front of him who were always flirtatious, and couldn't help but tease them in turn.
When Dong Yuzhen heard this, her face was covered with red glow. Some looked at Lin Zhu with disgust, but they didn't dare to look in the direction of Chang Tianlei at all.
Chang Tianlei laughed twice, he had been with Dong Yuzhen for many days, and he was also full of joy, if it weren't for Lin Zhu's matter, he would have been laughing from ear to ear.
Now that the dark clouds in the sky seem to have dispersed, everyone's mood is very good, and Chang Tianlei naturally enjoys the time with Dong Yuzhen with a smile. Although they won't do anything out of the ordinary, it's a rare opportunity for the two.
Lin Zhu proposed that the three of them go for a walk in the garden, and the provincial people sat here with big eyes and stared at each other without saying a word.
Dong Yuzhen shyly pulled Lin Zhu and took the lead in the direction of the garden. Chang Tianlei also touched his nose embarrassedly and followed. A few maids who were amused were snickering and laughing.
Lin Zhu walked with them for a while, and then quietly left with the maid, making room for the two of them to be alone.
Back in his house, Lin Zhu took out the letters sent by Mu Qiyue these days, although some of them had been read many times, he couldn't help but read them carefully.
Lin Zhu felt very shy about his behavior, thinking about what Mu Qiyue had done recently, his heart was also sweet.
Fiddling with those letters, Lin Zhu suddenly had an urge to see Mu Qiyue. But reason told her that now is not a very good time, if she meets Mu Qiyue and is known, then it will be even more unbearable to finally stop some rumors.
The rumors have gradually disappeared, and the hottest news in the capital is that the birthday banquet that Princess Qing will hold two months ago is the news of Mu Qiyue's wife.
After more than two months of arrangement, the Qingwang Mansion is almost ready, and during this period, many dignitaries and nobles, whether they are concubines or concubines, many people are being discussed. And Lin Zhu failed to enter the eyes of Princess Qing, and the news that he was not included in the invitation was gradually forgotten.
At this time, Lin Zhuzheng and the people of the General's Mansion and Fu Dou'er were in the house in Wang Village on the outskirts of Beijing, tasting the grapes that had just come down this year, as well as apples and pears, which were the fruits planted by Lin Zhu almost three years ago.
"Hehe, this grape is really good." General Chang didn't like these fruits very much, but Lin Zhu nagged in his ear many times, saying that eating more fruits would make his body healthier.
Zhilu said that she was for her own good, and she had been fighting for many years, and she was in a bitter cold place, and General Chang's body was also damaged in many places, and when she got older, she was always a little uncomfortable.
After Dr. Zhang showed him, he wanted to use some medicine, but he was regarded as an indestructible general by foreign enemies, and he was actually very disgusted with bitter medicine, as long as his body could support it, he would not drink the decoction.
In desperation, Dr. Zhang prescribed many prescriptions for dietary therapy, although the effect would be slower, at least, General Chang no longer resisted.
And Lin Zhu is responsible for General Chang's usual food matching. General Chang loves meat, almost to the point of not being happy with meat, but for the sake of his health, Lin Zhu will always properly control the amount of food he eats.
And while eating meat, General Chang will also be properly served with vegetables and fruits.
General Chang, who did not want to be deprived of the right to eat meat, had no choice but to do so.
Looking at the watery grapes, General Chang couldn't stop souring in his mouth, he didn't like sour things, and most fruits have a sour taste, grapes especially.
Under Lin Zhu's watchful eyes, General Chang reluctantly tried one, only to find that the grapes that Lin Zhu took out were not only not sour, but sweet and had a special fragrance of grapes, which was very good for his taste.
So, in the past few years, grapes have come down one after another, except for the one that was bought by Mu Qiyue, most of the rest went into General Chang's stomach.
In his words, there are apples and pears anyway, and the old man doesn't grab them from you.
So Dr. Zhang and Mr. Du reluctantly accepted this reality.
But this is also a joke between the three old men, with the expansion of the forest and bamboo orchard, the fruit produced every year, the three families are indigestible, so in addition to the three families of Chang Zhang Du, some people who are good friends with Lin Zhu have also received the fruits she sent.
At this time, fruits, even ordinary apples and pears, are rare, after all, they grow naturally, and the fruits will inevitably have more small and unpalatable fruits.
Therefore, the big and sweet fruits like the ones in the forest bamboo orchard have been loved by many people.
Some people passing by the orchard will even ask the orchard steward if they can buy some back. The steward got Lin Zhu's instructions, and whenever someone was willing to buy, he would also sell some appropriately. Gradually, the reputation of the forest and bamboo orchard also spread, and when the fruit is ripe, people will come to buy it.
There were a lot of them, and the time they came was not uniform, so Lin Zhu thought of a way.
Whoever wants to buy fruit from the orchard first reserves an area here every spring, and then, when the fruit is ripe in the autumn, they let them pick all the fruit in this area, and then count the money according to the quantity.
The fruit of the forest bamboo orchard is very delicious, and the orchard is also very well maintained, some people immediately understand the meaning of the forest bamboo, so in the autumn, they come to the orchard in groups of three or five, while playing, while picking, there is a lot of fun.
Some also brought their families to book a date with the steward of the orchard, and the family came to an autumn outing, which was very pleasant.
Although Lin Zhu didn't think about how much he could harvest from the orchard, he didn't expect that this small harvest would also bring a lot of benefits.
At this time of the past two years, people from the surrounding villages have come to the vicinity of the orchard to sell some homemade game and so on to these people who come to play. After all, if you can drag your family out to play like this, your family background must be not thin, and some farm things are not a problem at all.
What's more, the homemade owners of the farmhouse always have some flavors that they can't usually eat, which makes them even more interested.
General Chang thought this kind of thing was also very interesting, so he and Mr. Zhang, Mr. Du, took Lin Zhu and others to the orchard, picked fruits, ate barbecue, and walked around by the way.
"Well, that's a good idea." General Chang met a few people who came to pick fruits, and said a few words to them, and it was obvious that they also liked this kind of activity. After coming back, he praised Lin Zhu.
"It seems that when it comes to making money, your little head is turning fast." General Chang's words made everyone laugh.
Sorry it's a little late.
It turns out that spicy can't be eaten with ice cream. (To be continued......)
