Chapter 122: The Double-Faced Four Masters
The fourth master, Mu Qiyue and Lu Mingtao, agreed on the principle of trading with Lin Zhu at the dinner table, as long as it was the production of her Zhuangzi, they would buy all of it, and the price should also meet Lin Zhu's requirements as much as possible.
"The fourth master really values this Lin girl." Lu Mingtao drank the last mouthful of watermelon chicken soup and said, "Doesn't Mr. Lu value it?" The fourth master looked at the soup in the watermelon cup with an unkind face, and there was not a drop left in Lu Mingtao's mouth, this foodie!" Hehe. Lu Mingtao laughed unnaturally twice. This one was so delicious that I couldn't hold back it for a while. ”
"As far as I know, Mr. Lu has been going to my Zhuangzi every once in a while recently." The fourth master squinted at Lu Mingtao, "Fourth Master Mingjian, it's just to prevent those vegetables that grow well from being wasted." Lu Mingtao's dignified appearance in order to order food made Mu Qiyue's eyes float a little smile.
"Fourth master, this Lin girl asked our firm to find some flower seeds for her. She seems to want to plant flowers on a large scale. After the subordinates removed the food, Lu Mingtao remembered the news brought by the shopkeeper Du this time, so he reported it to the fourth master.
"Flowers?" The fourth master pondered for a moment, "Didn't she say what the flowers were going to be used for?" The fourth master spent his steps in the house, "There are many families of this kind of flower, and each family has its own know-how." It's not the kind that is easy to grow. ”
"Miss Lin wants a lot of miscellaneous, saying that as long as the flowers bloom long and the color is beautiful, it's okay." Lu Mingtao thought about it, but he didn't have a clue, "I really don't know what she wants to do?" "Then you pay attention to it, and we can meet her requirements." The fourth master commanded.
"Fourth Master, aren't you curious where she got these special seeds? And she's only ten years old. It's incomprehensible to have such a skill. Lu Mingtao said his thoughts. Mu Qiyue listened to his words, and also pondered silently, "It's really strange, how did your people check?" But there's something strange about it. "It turned out that Lu Mingtao had already sent someone to investigate Lin Zhu, but that person's technique was too high, and even Chang Shi didn't find it.
"I haven't found anything for the time being, but my people found traces of Chang Tianlei in Miss Lin." Lu Mingtao was also wondering that some of his men were trained to find out the news, except for those heavily guarded places. It's not easy to probe outside. I didn't expect that in a small rural village, I didn't find out anything.
"Chang Tianlei? That grandson of General Chang? The fourth master raised his eyebrows in surprise. Yes, some say he died in that fire, others say he's missing. I didn't expect it to be at Miss Lin's. And there is also General Chang, a house slave, and Concubine Lan's mother in the palace. Lu Mingtao paused and said. After Chang's mother was kicked out of the palace, she returned to her hometown and was kicked out because she was penniless. Xuetian turned to Miss Lin's house for help, and at that time, Miss Lin happened to adopt an outcast, so she left her behind to take care of the child. After more than half a year, Chang Shi appeared by Miss Lin's side again and actually accepted them. Lu Mingtao stopped talking and looked at the fourth master. Mu Qiyue frowned and did not speak.
"The wife of Dong Jisheng, the magistrate of Song County, is the daughter of the Lin family, and her daughter Dong Yuzhen is friendly with Miss Lin, Mrs. Lin once intended to call Chang's mother to Dong Yuzhen as a personal mother, but was refused, not only Mrs. Lin was not angry, but the relationship between Dong Yuzhen and Miss Lin is getting better and better." Lu Mingtao continued.
"General Chang's case has been deliberately investigated, don't care about them yet, does the Lin family know the identities of those people?" The fourth master asked. "I don't know what to do, but Shopkeeper Du took my letter to greet Dong Jisheng and asked him to take care of Miss Lin, because of our face, Dong Jisheng didn't dare to do anything to Miss Lin."
"Then press it down first, and wait for General Chang's case to be clear."
"Yes."
It was not early, so Lu Mingtao said goodbye and returned to the city. And the fourth master was alone in the Zhuangzi, and ordered his subordinates not to disturb, so he went into the study to read. No one in King Qing's Mansion knew that his knowledge had long surpassed those brothers, and the only ones who knew about it were Lu Mingtao and Prince Qi.
The fourth master, Mu Qiyue, didn't stay in Zhuangzi for a few days, and an invitation was sent to him. Prince Qi asked him to go over to reminisce. Mu Qiyue smiled when he saw the invitation, what is the old time, this Qi prince was afraid that he would be bored in the Zhuangzi, so he specially asked him to go to the house to relax, and by the way, boast to him how smart and clever his son is. And he is eighteen years old and has no one in mind, so give him a few more people to let him see each other. This Prince Qi is more concerned about his life's events than his parents.
However, Mu Qiyue still agreed to go to the appointment, although he didn't want to see any woman, but he still missed King Qi very much, this cousin was better to him than his own brother, so he had to send a copy of whatever good things he had. So Mu Qiyue ordered people to prepare things and went to King Qi's palace early the next morning.
"Little four, come on." As soon as Mu Qiyue entered the front hall, he was dragged into the study by Mu Qingqi. "Just leave those things to the butler. Come on, come on. "Mu Qingqi is an idle prince, he is pure and kind in nature, and he can't stand the deception of the court, and when the emperor has not yet established a prince, he will be with the current emperor, and the second prince Mu Qingcang said that he would go to the mountains and rivers to stay away from these troubles. It also avoided sibling rivalry, so now the prince of Qi has become the prince of leisure, and the emperor is also very good to him, and the emperor specially rewarded a lot of things when his son was born, as a sign of value.
"What a talent you're in charge." Mu Qingqi rarely praises people. "Why did Brother Qi say that?" Mu Qiyue was puzzled by what he said. "Do you know that the most talked about in the capital today is the high-grade watermelon of the Muyue Trading House, and the ministers of the family talk the most about the special watermelon, and everyone is proud to have this special watermelon when they feast guests. Your business has made a lot of money. Mu Qingqi smiled and patted Mu Qiyue's shoulder.
"Where, it's just a coincidence." Mu Qiyue said modestly. "Little four, my brother has kept it a secret for you for a long time, no matter what others do, you have to supply enough of my special watermelon, your little nephew doesn't eat non-special watermelon now, and he is very picky." "Don't worry, Brother Qi, if the firm is not enough, I'll make it up for you." Mu Qiyue smiled and looked at King Qi like this for a few watermelons.
"That's right." Mu Qingqi was very happy with his assurance. "That Lu Mingtao borrowed my yard, and I held a watermelon tasting meeting in my name, so that now those high-ranking officials in the capital or the nobles in the palace ask me for this special watermelon, he used a good strategy, the special watermelon of your firm is on fire, but my family's special watermelon has moved away all in one go."
"I also planted some special watermelons on one of my Zhuangzi, and I will give you some from there, don't worry, Brother Qi, no one can lack yours." Mu Qiyue only showed his true temperament in front of Mu Qingqi.
"I'm relieved to have your words, go, come with me to see your little nephew." After Mu Qingqi said these things, he took Mu Qiyue to the inner courtyard.
"Brother Qi, there is one thing I don't understand, I don't know if I should talk about it or not?" "What's the matter? You said. The two of them walked on the path of the garden of the palace. Didn't you say that if you have a son, you want to be called Haoxuan? How could you name your little nephew Zixuan? After listening to Mu Qiyue's question, Mu Qingqi was silent for a moment before he said, "I don't know what's going on with Lu Dao, when I named it at the time, I suddenly felt that Hao Xuan was not suitable, so I called Zi Xuan, but don't say it." Although Zixuan is not born to the side concubine, she is very good to Zixuan, if she heard that I had taken that name before, she would definitely have trouble with me again. Mu Qingqi's concubine died because of dystocia, leaving only this child, and the side concubine Lin Qingyue took care of Zixuan, she is humble and polite, and thinks about Zixuan in everything, no different from her own child, so although Mu Qingqi didn't like her at first, but now she can't leave her.
"It's inconvenient for me to say much about Brother Qi and Concubine Yue." Mu Qiyue gave him a dose of reassurance. "Hehe, you don't know the way, it's the last time Zixuan caught Zhou, because I didn't like him to just catch some playthings to eat, she got angry with me for a long time, saying that catching Zhou was just a joke, and it shouldn't be taken seriously, and teaching him well in the future is the way to make him a talent. Alas, I was just joking at the time, but I didn't expect her to take it seriously. ”
"Ha Luha, it's a good thing that Concubine Yue hopes that Zixuan will have an interest, and Brother Qi doesn't have to go to his heart. However, I have heard that some people still want children to catch some food toys or something when they catch the week, saying that they have no shortage of food and clothing, and they will have a happy life. I remembered that Lu Mingtao said that the child adopted by Lin Zhu was also caught on the same day as Mu Zixuan, and he also sent some toys over, I don't know if they will like it.
"Oh, they actually have such an idea, don't they want their children to grow up and become officials and achieve a career?" Mu Qingqi asked curiously. "It's just the thoughts of some countrymen, they don't care about food and clothing, where to talk about being an official or something." I don't know why, Mu Qiyue didn't want to tell Mu Qingqi about Lin Zhu and the outcast.
"That's just as well." Mu Qingqi nodded in agreement and did not delve into it.
The two walked to Mu Zixuan's yard, and it happened that Concubine Lin Qingyue took him to play in the yard and was learning to walk. When he saw the two of them come in, he came over and saluted. "Why does the prince have time to come and see Zixuan at this time." Concubine Yue asked Zixuan to pick up and saluted Mu Qingqi. Now Mu Zixuan can also say a few words, "To Dad, please be safe." "Although it is a little intermittent, it is the voice of the milk baby at the bottom, which is very attractive." Oh, my Zixuan, what are you doing today? Mu Qingqi held Mu Zixuan in his arms, touched his little face, and asked gently.
