Just as they were eating in the room, the girls in the workshop all got out of work and gathered in the dining room, and Mu Jincheng said that there were guests, Gu Qingzhu was inconvenient to stay in the kitchen, so she left quietly, Qingying was sick and weak, and she took the food back to her own room to eat these days.

Mu Jincheng drank a bowl of soup and ate half a bowl of snow japonica rice, only then did he feel that his stomach was not empty, he took a piece of duck meat, raised his eyebrows and asked, "What are you looking for me to do?" On such a hot day, it's not like it's for a meal. ”

"That's what I said, if you don't tell me anything good, forget it, but if you are in trouble, I won't come to see you, so it can't be said." Qian Yi threw down the chicken bones and said with a bitter face.

"Nonsense, you are in difficulty, your whole family is in difficulty!" Mu Jincheng kicked him under the table.

"Hiss......" Qian Yi sighed softly in pain, rubbing his legs and said, "You played Machang Street before, and the limelight was enough, but I heard that your second brother is in charge of Sansheng Tea Shop, and has full authority to deal with the claims of several street merchants, and the people in line are all lined up from the door to Jiasheng Street, in addition, I watched Fengyaji gossip voting today, you have surpassed me and topped the list, so, you dare to say that you have not suffered?" ”

Qian Yi said, took out a thin booklet from his sleeve pocket, and pushed it in front of Mu Jincheng, only to see the pen on the cover of the pale yellow mulberry paper, and three wild and unruly cursive characters were written vertically in the center - Feng Yaji, the aroma of ink has not dissipated, and it is obvious that it is freshly baked.

Feng Ya Ji is a tabloid published by Lang Jingxuan, this tabloid not only contains the official content of the court and the appointment and dismissal of officials, but also covers the secrets of the harem and the rumors of the nobles' habit of hunting.

But the strange thing is that the place where the Feng Yaji was released was neither in Yan'an City, Kyoto, nor in Ningjiang City, but in Nancang County, which is closest to Ningjiang City.

As for where Lang Jingxuan is, and who his master is, the world has no way of knowing, and the publication of this elegant collection is also very casual, neither by the month, nor by the tenth month, but as if it depends on the master's interest, if he is happy, in the morning, he can publish a tabloid in the evening, if he is not happy, the emperor marries his daughter, he is too lazy to print a volume to meet the occasion.

Because of such a mystery, but also each time no more than ten volumes, rare is expensive, Nancang County has a little prestige status of the children of the big families, are proud to grab a newly printed Feng Ya Ji, in the grocery store, but also the exclusive shopkeeper in order to cater to them, deliberately high price to buy Feng Ya Ji, no matter old or new, a booklet can be exchanged for seven or eight buckets of brown rice.

Mu Jincheng opened the booklet, glanced at it, and saw that his name was bigger than everyone else's, and he had already squeezed Qian Yi to the second place, he couldn't help but sneer: "This Lang Jingxuan doesn't know what kind of wonderful person he is, such a small thing, and also make a vote, which monkey cubs voted for this?" ”

"Who knows, I'm giving you the throne anyway." Qian Yi laughed.

"This is obviously a good thing, how can it be as difficult as you say!" Mu Jincheng collected a volume of elegance, received it in his sleeve, and said nonchalantly.

Qian Yi's eyes saw that Mu Jincheng had accepted the booklet, but he spent a tael of silver to pour it from other fox friends and dog friends, and he couldn't help but feel a little painful.

After enduring it, Qian Yi continued with a worried face: "What a fart, your father wants to know this, and he can't beat you to the bottom."

He didn't know if he was distressed about the booklet, or if he was too eager, and the saliva foamed directly into the dish in front of him.

"Forget it, forget it, don't eat it, it's rare for me to hide outside and eat a safe meal, but I can't live in peace by you!" It's disgusting, how can you eat like this?! Mu Jincheng dropped the bowl and threw the chopsticks on the table.

"You're not eating? Yes, I'm also full, otherwise, you come with me to Wanhualou to play, we have recently accepted a few new women from the Western Regions with high noses and deep eyes, that waist, that leg, tsk, I'm afraid that I will entangle people to death......" Qian Yi said, his face was squinting, and he was almost drooling.

"Forget it, in order to save my ass, I'll atone for my sins and stay here honestly." Mu Jincheng spread his hands and sighed heavily.

"It's a pity, I deliberately left the most beautiful one waiting for you to break ~ melon, I really failed the beauty in vain." Qian Yi slumped his shoulders and said disappointedly.

"Come on, you have made up your mind on me, you should think about earning this hundred taels of gold elsewhere, my father has already cut off all my expenses yesterday!" Mu Jincheng twisted his face and frowned.

"Hahaha, you also have today!" Qian Yi laughed, almost shaking the dust off the beams.

"Get out! Why don't you go to the girls of Wanhualou to find money! Mu Jincheng slapped the table angrily.

"Hey, I don't know if it's because I'm unlucky, or if you don't have good luck, but you haven't caught up, so that you're still a chick today, and I'm really worried about my brother!" Qian Yi wiped his hands with a wet handkerchief and said regretfully.

"What nonsense, with this kind of work, you might as well go and see if Song Yunpan is there, isn't he used to messing with you?" Mu Jincheng urged impatiently.

"Ho! You also underestimate me, the girl in Wanhualou is very sought-after, Wang Laoba, Liu Twelve and I have told me several times, that is, I want to leave it for you, but I didn't dare to promise them, you don't come now, I won't play with a broken household! Qian Yi shrugged disdainfully.

The two were talking, leaving the small dining room, Mu Jincheng wanted to lead him from the kitchen and send him directly out of the front yard, but Qian Yi's ears were sharp, he heard the laughter of the girls from behind the two gates, he turned his head and pushed the door in, Mu Jincheng was caught off guard, and it was too late to reach out and pull him.

The door was slammed open and slammed against the wall, and the girls who were eating were startled by the loud noise, and all of them turned their heads to look at it.

Qian Yi half-squinted a pair of dirty eyes, swept the girls in front of him one by one, his eyes were like a peeling knife, the girl from a good family only felt that he was looking at her, and she turned her head to eat with a shy face, and didn't even dare to speak.

His gaze finally stopped on Jia Min's body for three or four breaths, pulling the corners of his mouth, as if smiling, and Jia Min was looking up at him, his lips slightly opened, but he was stopped by his smile, and in the end, she didn't say anything, and hid in the corner like a quail with other girls.

"Why are you running around, look at what scares them, and after a while, Mama Guo has to talk about me again, can you not make trouble for me!" Mu Jincheng rushed up and pulled him away, glancing in out of the corner of his eye, he saw a lowered head, he was in a familiar seat, and he didn't see the Gu Qingzhu sisters.

Qian Yi, who was overly drunk, was dragged all the way by Mu Jincheng, and he patted his arm panting and shouted: "Ah, I can go, don't drag me!" ”

"Let's go, let's go." Mu Jincheng waved his hand again and again, disliking people in disgust.

"Don't I just take a second look, what a big deal, it's just some mediocre country girls, I see that you are willing to be trapped here for a long time, and you hide it from us in the golden house here." Qian Yi laughed a few times.

"Remember to send the second master away!" Mu Jincheng said to the janitor who was standing respectfully on the side.

After speaking, Mu Jincheng left without looking back, Qian Yi looked at his back, frowned, and said, "Hey, I'm really angry!" ”

"Second Master Qian, please." The mother-in-law who guards the door, politely and rigidly bends down to see off the guests.

His little servant Yun Guan'er wanted to step forward to help him, but he threw him away, Qian Yi snorted and got into the carriage, urging the coachman to leave quickly.

Since then, Mu Jincheng has come to the workshop every day, and people outside regard him as a prodigal son, and even his father thinks that he should give him three lives and one business to take charge of himself, experience it, and in the future, he will work together as a brother to inherit the family business.

However, only he knew that Gu Qingzhu's changing dishes every day was his biggest expectation of the day.

The comfortable days are always like a white horse, and after seven or eight days in a blink of an eye, Gu Qingying is completely well, and she is a lively little girl.

She has completely adapted to this, where to catch grasshoppers in the yard, which tree has cicadas, she knows very well, occasionally help the kitchen lady choose vegetables and thread needles, every time at this time, the fat woman will sneak to give her a tomato or cucumber to eat.

Gu Qingzhu has not worked for almost ten days, although Mama Guo said that she gave her twenty wen a day, but she did not earn it by herself, so that night, Gu Qingzhu made a bowl of lotus seed barley soup and brought it into Mama Guo's house.

"Mama, I made lotus seed soup today, you can taste it." Gu Qingzhu said behind Xiao Lai, who opened the door for her.

"You've just arrived, I just don't have much appetite today, and I've only had a bowl of soup for dinner, so I'm really a little hungry at this time." Mama Guo closed the account book and said with a smile.

Gu Qingzhu saw that Mama Guo was pinching a small spoon and concentrating on eating the soup, and a few strands of white hair were faintly revealed under the low bun, she thought about it and swallowed what she was going to say again.

"You're not here to deliver food today, do you, do you have anything to say, because you don't have any money to buy it?" Mama Guo ate a small half bowl, picked up a handkerchief and wiped her mouth and asked.

Hearing this, Gu Qingzhu hurriedly shook his head: "There is still a lot of money to buy, I just ...... Just ......"

"I know that your sister is well, and you are worried about work, which is understandable, but ......, you also know that the third master is here, except for eating the dishes you cook, he doesn't eat anything else, what do you tell me to do?" Mama Guo wrinkled her eyebrows, and the folds on her face were like an apple that she hadn't eaten for a long time, wrinkled dryly.

"I can continue cooking, but can I cook for a few more hours in the evening?" Gu Qingzhu plucked up the courage to say.

"It's not going to work!" Mama Guo said categorically that there is no room for manoeuvre.

That night, Mu Jincheng was lying on the floor of the workshop and smirking weirdly, which made Mama Guo feel terrified when she thought about it, and she had to harden her heart and refuse Gu Qingzhu.

"Mama, don't worry, I must be very careful and will not damage the machine." In the past few days, for some reason, the silk reeling machine in the workshop has broken several times for no reason, Gu Qingzhu only thought she was worried about this, and hurriedly assured.

"That's it, since you are not afraid of hardship, I will teach you to reel the silk from tomorrow. The so-called double silk reeling, to put it bluntly, is that a silk reeling machine can reel two strands of silk at the same time, which is more cost-effective than you do a few hours more at night. Mama Guo thought for a while.

"Really? That's great. Gu Qingzhu happily twisted the red rattan bracelet on his left hand.

"Don't be happy too early, although this pair of silk can produce two silk ingots at a time, but the requirements for silk reelers are higher, a single silk is up to three silk, and this pair of silk is running, then it is really necessary to see six ways and listen to all directions, ordinary people can't do it, if it is a careless, two silk spindles may be waste line!" Mama Guo said earnestly.
