"It doesn't matter." Mo Qingfeng lowered his voice and said lightly.

After playing around for a while, Qing Mu realized that Mu Shan was the only one here, and was a little puzzled, "What about Xiang'er?" Didn't you take her out to play today? ”

Mu Shan pursed his lips and smiled, "Xiang'er, I can't wait, I followed the monk up the mountain first, I'm afraid you won't find the way, so I'm waiting here." ”

In fact, it was my cousin who hugged Xiang'er up, and all the things were brought up the mountain first.

The reason why she didn't say it was just to give Zhao Yong a chance to talk to Sister Qing more.

Qing Mu was stunned for a moment when she heard this, Mu Shan's sense of prevention was too weak, so he was not afraid of meeting someone and taking Xiang'er away? In her time, parents were afraid to let their children go out alone.

"Then let's go quickly, don't let Xiang'er wait for a long time."

She didn't dare to say those words in her heart, it would be bad if she scared Mu Shan because of this, so she had to urge vigorously.

Here, Mo Qingfeng had already been silently moving things in the carriage, and they didn't have many things to bring, so they could take them up the mountain themselves.

So when the monks came, Mo Qingfeng still handed him a piece of silver, but refused their help.

"Little Master, let's just take this thing up the mountain ourselves, and this bit of silver will be regarded as sesame oil money."

The little monk was a little embarrassed, their Hanguang Temple did earn more money for sesame oil by helping pedestrians run rituals, but they didn't want to help themselves, and gave silver, how could this be happy.

"Donor, if you don't need help, I can't ask for this silver." As he spoke, he handed back the money.

A few monks behind him secretly stamped their feet, is this idiot stupid? He refused to have silver even if he didn't work, and he wanted to run up and grab the silver himself.

But in the pure land of Buddhism, I still don't dare to make a mistake, if I let the presiding master see it, I will inevitably be scolded.

Qing Mu noticed the movement on Mo Qingfeng's side, and walked over and pushed the silver back.

"Little Master, we understand your kindness, and we can finish the things ourselves, so there is no reason for you to go up the mountain again." After speaking, he smiled again, "This money is a little sesame oil money, not much, you can accept it with peace of mind." ”

The little monk no longer shirked, squeezed the silver tightly in his hand, and thanked him, "Thank you, donor!" After speaking, he also recited, "Amitabha." He bowed to both of them before entering the temple.

"Sister Qing, you guys are so good!" Mu Shan has been standing not far away and watching, Qing Mu always has an indescribable attraction on her body, which makes her admire.

Qing Mu waved his hand, "It's Qingfeng and kind." She knew that it might have something to do with his background, he was used to wandering the world by himself, and he was used to being independent, so he didn't want to trouble others.

Mo Qingfeng listened to Qing Mu's praise, scratched his head, and was a little shy, "Don't make fun of me, move things quickly, do you want to play?" ”

The heart is soft, but the mouth is unforgiving, and the temperament of the two people is extremely similar to this.

Qing Mu pursed her lips, didn't speak, stepped forward to take down a basket of food, and handed a box of chess to Mu Shan, "Let's go first,"

Let Mo Qingfeng take her time in the back by herself, the good guy still dislikes her.

Mo Qingfeng was amused by Qing Mu's behavior as a child, and when he was angry, he didn't wait for anyone, and his behavior of leaving first was something that only children can do.

When the three of them arrived, Xiang'er was eating under a willow tree, and Zhao Yong had already cleaned up the pavilion.

Hearing the footsteps, Zhao Yong raised his head with a smile on his face, "Miss Qing hasn't seen you for a long time." ”

It's been a long time, and I haven't seen each other since their family moved into the capital.

Qing Mu looked at Zhao Yong in surprise, "Why are you here?" ”

She thought that only Mu Shan and the two sisters came, but she didn't expect Zhao Yong to also go with her, no wonder she was relieved that Xiang'er came first.

"I met my cousin's carriage on the street today, and I learned that I was coming to the spring, so I followed all the way." Zhao Yong told the truth, the smile on his face only increased, and the corners of Mo Qingfeng's mouth twitched when he saw it.

This guy is also interested in Qingmu? Look at those eyes are about to stick to Qing Mu.

"Sister, what are you doing with this iron frame?" Mo Qingfeng said and took out a boxy iron rack from the bag, as well as a few iron plates, and the rest were charcoal.

The day before yesterday, Qing Mu mysteriously drew this iron frame and iron plate in the study, forced the master who struck the iron to beat this out, and finally asked Sanbao to buy a few catties of charcoal.

Qing Mu didn't want to tell them, so he sold a pass, "You'll know later." ”

"There are fish in the river, Brother Mo, why don't we catch a few together!"

"I'm going too, the fern in the mountains and forests is fat, the fish must be delicious!" It was the first time Qing Mu had caught fish in this place.

"Then you guys, I'll take Xiang'er to pick some bracken."

Mu Shan shook her head, she was not as bold as Qing Mu, and dared to take off her shoes and socks and go into the water.

Xiang'er was a little unhappy, "Sister, I'm going to catch fish too!" ”

When she first came here, she fell in love with the water and wanted to play, but her cousin wouldn't let her live, so she had to sit under the tree and eat.

"Xiang'er, it's very dangerous in the water, you're too young to go, my sister will take you to other places to make a wreath, okay?"

Sure enough, it was a child's heart, and as soon as he heard that there was a garland to wear, he changed his mind in an instant, "Then I won't go fishing, sister, let's go!" ”

Mu Shan Yile hurriedly grabbed a basket and followed her, waiting for them to leave, Qing Mu, Mo Qingfeng and Zhao Yong went into the water one after another, and at the beginning there was a penetrating coolness coming up from the soles of their feet, and they slowly got used to it, and it was very comfortable in the water.

Some of the little fish are not afraid of life at all, and from time to time they come and bite their feet, making the soles of their feet itch terribly.

"Wow, there are so many fish!" Qing Mu couldn't help but exclaim, in addition to some pebbles in the crystal clear river, there are fish, and of course, there are some aquatic plants.

"This fish is rarely caught, and the pedestrians who come to see the peach blossoms will feed into the river, so it is big and fat." Zhao Yong swallowed a mouthful of saliva as he spoke.

He used to come here to catch fish and grill them, so he knew everything about the situation.

This fish is also a fry released by pilgrims, and at first there were few of them, but the environment was so good that they bred within a few years.

"Then there is a blessing today." Qing Mu answered, and continued to catch fish.

Mo Qingfeng didn't say a word, and kept catching fish as if he was making a fortune, but these fish were very cunning, and when he was about to touch them, he sneaked away.

The three of them worked hard until the end, caught a few fish, and started playing in the water.

After Mu Shan took Mu Xiang to the other side to pick some bracken, the two sisters devoted themselves to picking wild flowers and weaving garlands.

When it was close to lunch, Mu Xiang grabbed a few braided garlands and pulled Mu Shan's clothes, "Sister, I'm hungry." ”

"Then let's go back now and let Sister Qing make something to eat."

Mu Shan tidied up his and Mu Xiang's clothes, and pulled Mu Xiang to the pavilion.

When they went back, Zhao Yong disposed of the fish they caught by the river, leaving four big ones and putting the small ones back.

Mo Qingfeng was helping Qing Mu to make a fire, Qing Mu washed the iron shelf and put it on the fire, and when he saw Mu Shan and the others coming back, he said loudly: "Shan'er, come and wash these two iron plates, let's grill and barbecue." ”

There is a square iron frame under the iron shelf, which is used to hold the charcoal fire, Qing Mu saw that the firewood in Mo Qingfeng's place had been burned out, so he used the iron shelf to clip the red-hot charcoal into it, "Qingfeng, go and pour the charcoal you brought." ”

Mo Qingfeng and Mu Shan put down what they were doing, listened to Qing Mu's words, and got busy.

Mu Xiang jumped over and tugged at Qing Mu's skirt, "Sister Qing, how do you play this?" ”

It's the first time she's seen such a roasted food, in the past, the chef in the house put it directly on the fire and roasted it, without using such complicated tools.

Qing Mu squatted down and picked her up, "This is a delicacy invented by my sister!" You wait, my sister will be delicious when she bakes it! ”

"Good!"

Qing Mu touched Mu Xiang's hair and put her on the ground, "There is smoke here, you go to the pavilion to rest first, and my sister will get it right away." ”

Xiao Xiang'er nodded, ran back to the shade of the tree, and ate snacks.

When Mu Shan went to wash the iron plate, he washed the bracken by the way, came back and cut it into small pieces with a knife, and put it in a clean bowl for later use.

After Zhao Yong processed the fish, he listened to Qing Mu's words and smeared it with cooking wine and other seasonings, and sprinkled some green onions.

When everyone finished the matter, they all gathered around, watching Qing Mu's movements, looking puzzled and curious.

Qing Mu put the iron plate on the iron shelf, put some lard inside, swept it away with a clean brush, put the things prepared in advance, and kept turning it.

After a while, the fragrance came out, and the fragrance overflowed, hooking everyone's gluttony.

"Wow, Sister Qing, your skills are not ordinary!" She didn't eat it, she couldn't stand it just smelling it.

"Miss Qing can open a restaurant, it must be full of friends!" Zhao Yong also praised, he didn't say praise at all, not to mention the fragrance, even this unique barbecue method is attractive enough.

Only Mo Qingfeng was singing the opposite, "I think it's so-so." "If you praise her again, it is estimated that she will go to heaven.

Qing Mu ignored Mo Qingfeng's sour words, put in the meat, chicken wings and other things he brought, and roasted them together, not only in appearance, but also in taste.

When everything was baked, Qing Mu used a clean plate to pack the baked things.

"Got it, come and try it!"

Mu Xiang is small, and he got to Qing Mu's side, if Mu Shan hadn't stopped him quickly, Mu Xiang was afraid that he would have to grab the chicken wings on the iron frame directly.

The capital, the palace, the court.

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor said, today I think of the hard work of the Aiqing, specially held a hunt, three days of houjin line, the winner can have a rich reward."

Bei Xiaohan was a little puzzled, and waited for everyone to buckle their heads together to thank them before he stood up, "Father, the sons and daughters feel that they should rest and recuperate at this time, instead of holding some hunting activities in Daxing." ”

What if there are spies from other countries who take advantage of the hunt to find out the strength of their country!

He heard the rumor, saying that the prince of Jiang Guo was going to visit their country, although it was a rumor, who knows if it was groundless, what if it was true!

Bei Qingran disagreed with his eldest brother's statement, "Big brother, my father is sympathetic to the hard work of hundreds of officials, and this season is perfect for hunting." ”

Bei Gu Ning knew that Bei Xiao Han's opposition had his own considerations, but he had already discussed it with Mu Qi and them yesterday, and this matter had to be done.

"Dye Er is right, hunting can stabilize the court, and you and I also need to communicate more. Ran'er, this matter will be left to you to arrange it all, Prime Minister Liu, you can help from the side. ”

Reluctant that the child can't trap the wolf, and if he doesn't give this fake Liu Yong a little sweetness, how can he show his feet.

"Sons obey orders!"

"Wechen obeys!"

After dispersing, Bei Qingran walked in front of Bei Xiaohan, "Big brother, you won't blame your younger brother for robbing you of your errand!" ”

He just can't get used to seeing him on top, as long as he can beat him, no matter what he does, he is willing to try.

Bei Xiaohan paused to take a step, staring at him with deep eyes, "Second brother, sometimes happiness must be sad. ”

Yu Bi didn't care about his reaction, turned around and left, he was going to ask his father why he did this.

Bei Guning was sitting in the Chengde Palace, reviewing the folds, Bei Xiaohan didn't let Li Xide report it, and walked in by himself.

"Father, I didn't tell you about that incident, the hunting is ............"

Bei Gu Ning put down his pen, raised his head, and looked at him, "If there are two fires, one is in front of you, you can extinguish it by raising your hand, and one still needs you to take a few more steps to save it, do you say to save the near fire or the far fire first?" ”

Now it is equivalent to internal and external troubles, which are far more urgent than external troubles.

"What does Father mean?"

Bei Xiaohan still didn't understand what this move had to do with whether or not to hold a hunt and whether or not to save the fire.

"After that, you will know that if you are okay during this time, you can study in the palace and gain more knowledge."

As a prince, he has to endure what ordinary people can't endure, and he can't do what others can't do, and he still has a lot to learn.

"Yes!"

Qing Mu was looking at the account books of the Huichun Hall in the courtyard for the past few months, and suddenly remembered Li Mingzhou's illness, he was so busy a few days ago that he forgot all about it.

It seems that this matter must be over soon, and go back early, otherwise if it drags on for too long, other symptoms may appear.

"County Lord Qing, County Lord Mu has sent someone to pick you up, saying that there has been progress in the matter of you entrusting her."

Hearing this, Qing Mu was overjoyed, and immediately stood up and ran to Sanbao, "Where is the person?" ”

She was worried that there was no clue about this matter, and there was news, if she really read Cao Cao, Cao Cao would arrive!

"Waiting at the gate of the house."

"Okay, I'll probably come back later, and I won't have to keep lunch for me."

Yesterday, they went to the spring and drank a lot of wine, and she was still talking to Mu Shan, "You said you wanted to help me find someone, why did it take two or three days and there was still no news?" ”

"I ...... I've already asked people to look for it, and there will definitely be news tomorrow! ”

In fact, when they came, the next person told Mu Shan that they had eyebrows, and Mu Shan was afraid that she would tell Qing Mu first, and she was busy dealing with things, so she wouldn't go with them to go to spring.

If Qing Mu didn't go, Mo Qingfeng wouldn't go either, so she thought carefully and thought about telling her tomorrow.

As soon as Qing Mu entered Mu Mansion, he went straight to Mu Shan's courtyard.

"Shan'er, have you found someone?"

The man's teeth had been drawn by her from a little memory, and she had only drawn a rough idea.

Mu Shan welcomed her in, "Seeing that you are in a hurry, let's drink some water first, that person is in the house, and he won't run away." ”

Qing Mu followed Mu Shan into the walk and poured himself a cup of tea to drink.

"Shan'er, where are the people? Let's go see you now! ”

"Okay, I'll take you."

Mu Shan stood up and led her to the front hall, where the person was drinking tea.

Suddenly thinking of something, Qing Mu retracted his steps again, "Shirt, do you have a hat?" It's the kind of thing that can cover a person's entire face. ”

Mu Shan listened to Qing Mu's description and sneered, "Sister Qing is talking about hats." ”

"Don't make fun of me, go get two and we'll take them." Qing Mu pushed Mu Shan, who was smiling and leaning back and forth, urging her.

Mu Shan stopped laughing, went back to the house to find two hats, and the two of them took it on their heads, covering their beautiful faces, and then went to the front hall.

Seeing this, Ren Yazi immediately stood up, "The villain has seen two girls!" ”

As soon as he saw this magnificent courtyard, he knew that this family was not something he could afford to offend, so he was so honest.

Qing Mu followed Mu Shan to sit on the main seat, Yan Ran acted like a master, and deliberately said in a hoarse voice, "Sit down." ”

On the way here, she explained it, and when she got here, Mu Shan only looked at it and didn't say anything, and let her ask everything herself.

Ren Yazi turned around and sat down in the position where he got up just now, his eyes revealing greed, "I don't know what happened to the two county lords looking for villains?" ”

After speaking, he also glanced at the surrounding maids.

Qing Mu glanced at Mu Shan through the veil, and Mu Shan understood, "You all go down." ”

"Yes, County Lord." Several subordinates replied in unison.

Seeing that everyone was gone, Qing Mu spoke, "I don't know if you still know this person?" ”

Qing Mu took out Tan'er's portrait from his sleeve.

Ren Yazi looked at a delicate woman painted on it, there was a touch of clarity between her eyebrows, her face was very familiar, and after thinking about it carefully, she had a memory.

"The villain knows that this person was sold to the Qing family as a house slave by the villain, but some time ago, the whole Qing family moved into the capital."

Sold as a house slave is much more valuable than an ordinary slave, and a house slave is to be a slave and a maid for the rest of her life, even the offspring born to her.

Qing Mu had to admire the memory of this person's teeth, and even remembered clearly who Tan'er was sold to, and he should not have forgotten where he came from.

"Then do you remember that she came from the Minister's office?"

"This ...... It's been too long, and the villain really can't remember it. ”

Ren Yazi's whole eyes stared straight at Qing Mu, and Qing Mu read something greedy from his eyes.

There is never anything in this world that money can't solve, Qing Mu took a purse from his waist and threw it to the human tooth.

When the human tooth opened it, it was a few gold leaves, and he immediately smiled, and these gold leaves were enough for him to squander for a while.

"Thank you for the reward, it's just that this ......" There was still a bit of desire to speak in his tone, obviously he still disliked the reward given was too little.

Qing Mumu snorted, and his voice became cold, "If the answer you give is what the county lord wants, the reward is naturally indispensable, if there is something to hide, don't blame me for being unkind to you." ”

Ren Yazi was so frightened by Qing Mu, but he became honest and told him how he met Tan'er and sold her to Suzhou.

At that time, Tan'er was only eight or nine years old, with two buns tied on his head, simply tied with ribbons, and his face without powder was vaguely pretty.

There was a sign in front of her, which said to sell her body to bury her father, and she knelt on the ground upright, with a straw mat wrapped in a corpse behind her, and the corpse was already cold.

Coincidentally, Ren Yazi was looking on the street at this time and saw the scene of Tan'er selling himself to bury his father.
