Chapter 268: Fighting Crickets

Guest? What distinguished guests? Who does she have as a guest?

Mu Wenran looked at Mu Xing'er in confusion, puzzled.

"You just say who it is."

"O Prince! Jing Mufan! ”

Mu Xing'er looked at her depressedly, if she didn't know Mu Wenran's sincerity to her, she really thought that Mu Wenran had packed her luggage and sneaked out to take refuge in order to avoid the complicated accounts of the past few days.

"Jing Mufan?" Mu Wenran became more and more puzzled, there is no reason, she and Jing Mufan are not friends.

Besides, what's going on now? As far as she heard from Jing Anyao's mouth, isn't this Jing Mufan the queen's own son? Why is the queen still being locked up because of her affairs, and Jing Mufan is coming to deliver business?

"Are you sure you're not mistaken?"

"What am I lying to you for? People are sitting downstairs now, and you can see for yourself. ”

Seeing that she was still suspicious, the corners of Mu Xing'er's mouth twitched, and she simply pulled her to the corridor and went down. "Oh, I'm not mistaken, it's that person."

Mu Wenran squinted his eyes and looked fixedly, sure enough, it was Jing Mufan.

At this time, he was dressed as a noble son, sitting alone on the seat drinking a little wine, his face was miserable and solemn, as if he had a very serious concern.

"I'll go down and see what is going on, you wait here." Mu Wenran looked at it intently for a while, then straightened his clothes, instructed Mu Xing'er to continue to read the account book, and hurried downstairs.

Mu Xing'er also obediently prepared to go to the account room to read the account book, but unexpectedly, Mu Wenran, who had disappeared at the end of the stairs, suddenly poked out another head and squeezed his eyebrows at her.

"I'll tell you good news in a moment, you read the account first." After saying that, he flashed and went downstairs.

Downstairs, Jing Mufan was holding a wine glass, tasting the bitter wine in one sip, with a very complicated mood.

He has thought a lot about it in the past few days, and has asked someone privately what happened between Mu Xing'er, Mu Wenran, and Zheng Wanqing.

Although he didn't get anything, he clearly realized that Zheng Wanqing must have done something wrong.

Although it is said that there is no impermeable wall in the world, especially in this deep palace, unless some news is expressly forbidden by the emperor, it is not allowed to spread wantonly.

If it wasn't a royal scandal, what could it be?

Thinking of this, he smiled bitterly again, his hand clenched the small wine glass tightly, and the wine glass made a very slight clicking sound, and he reacted and hurriedly loosened his strength.

"Your Highness, why did you think of coming to me for a drink today?" When he was really depressed and sad in his heart, the voice that he had been thinking about day and night suddenly came to his ears, so that he didn't come back to his senses for a while, and only looked at the rippling wine in the wine glass in a daze, which was good for his faintly turbulent mind.

"Warm dye?" He quickly turned his head, looked at Mu Wenran's eyes full of joy, and immediately put down the wine glass in his hand excitedly, and stood up suddenly.

Mu Wenran was taken aback by his sudden move, and subconsciously took two steps back.

"Uh, His Royal Highness the Prince, are you alright?"

"I ...... I'm fine, it's just that Xing'er said that you've been out for a few days, and I probably won't see you anymore. ”

Mu Wenran nodded, and sat down across from him with his permission.

"What have you been doing these days?"

"I've researched some new things, but it's just a little thing to relieve fatigue and bored, I don't know if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can see it."

Mu Wenran smiled slyly and raised his hand to greet Mother Gui, who was entertaining guests not far away.

"Mother Gui, come over here."

"Yo! When did you come back, and you didn't say a word to me, I said why the floor in the upstairs account room is so restless today. ”

Mother Gui was also surprised for a moment when she saw Mu Wenran, but she quickly came back to her senses and walked this way with a smile.

In the past few days, Mu Wenran has been absent, and the accounts have increased suddenly, and she has no choice but to follow Mu Xing'er, although those numbers are really interesting, but she has limited energy, and she has to take care of the business in the store, and she has already complained.

At this time, seeing Mu Wenran come back, she was simply overjoyed, calling her name and her ancestors, and there were no restraints.

Mu Wenran didn't care, but Jing Mufan beside her frowned slightly, and glanced at Mother Gui with a little dissatisfaction.

"Let's not talk about this for a while, I'll explain to you later, how about the crickets I asked you to help me raise in the past few days? Take it out and I'll see. ”

"My little ancestor, don't you want to play with that cricket for His Royal Highness the Prince! This is not a joke, in case you get bitten, it is not a joke. ”

As soon as Mother Gui heard Mu Wenran's words, her eyes immediately widened, and she waved her hand again and again, indicating that this would not work.

"It's okay, the weird things she's researched are always interesting, show them out for me to see, if anything goes wrong, it's none of your business." Jing Mufan shook his head and motioned for Gui's mother to hurry up and get the things.

Mother Gui is helpless, after all, the prince has already spoken, can she still disobey?

Taking advantage of the time when Gui's mother turned around and left, Jing Mufan was silent for a while, and suddenly asked.

"Your men don't seem to have a lot of respect for you."

"Respect? If you don't firmly grasp the other party's death hole and eat the other party thoroughly, what's the point of respect? ”

Mu Wenran smiled nonchalantly, lowered his head, and mocked secretly in his heart.

There are many sincere people in the palace, but no matter which one it is, it is not as good as Mother Gui, whose financial resources are tightly held in her hands, and it is not as good as Mu Xing'er, who has a blood relationship with her.

Really? Respect turned out to be so not worth mentioning.

Jing Mufan was secretly shocked in her heart, and pondered her words carefully in her heart, and after a few thoughts, she always had different experiences.

After a while, two cages made of grass were brought in, and the chirping of insects could be heard from afar.

The lawns in the palace are carefully taken care of by craftsmen, not to mention crickets, I am afraid that it is difficult to find even an earthworm, this little thing only heard its cry on a summer night, when Jing Mufan lived in his mansion outside the palace.

Mother Gui carefully placed the cricket on the table, and through the bamboo frame, she could clearly see the small insects inside that were either yellow or green or two colors mixed with each other.

"But feed it the way I taught you?"

"Of course, I don't dare to pull down any of the methods you gave me, look at these little insects, they are definitely good at fighting when I feed them fat and strong."

Mother Gui was overjoyed, proudly opened one of the cages, and in an instant, the crickets inside jumped out, looked around on the table, and chirped very vigilantly.

"What are you going to do with this little worm?" Jing Mufan got closer curiously, wanting to take a closer look at the difference between this cricket and other crickets.

At first glance, it was indeed much larger than anything he had ever seen.

"I'll teach you a game today, fighting crickets, but you have to take some lottery heads, small bets and big bets hurt your body, let's only gamble a little." Mu Wenran said mysteriously, and handed the remaining small bamboo baskets to Jing Mufan.
