Li Xiaotong looked intently at the strangely dressed woman outside the carriage, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she said with a smile: "Brother, I think of who the woman outside is."

"Oh, my sister actually knows!" Li Zhen said curiously.

Li Xiaotong nodded and said, "I haven't met this girl, but her father and sister are very familiar. This girl should be Mu Ziqing, the daughter of Mu Zhongyuan, a big businessman from the Thirteen Lines of Guangzhou. Mu Zhongyuan is engaged in jewelry and porcelain business, and often travels back and forth between England and Guangzhou, and the business is prosperous, which can be described as a rich country. ”

"Mu Zhongyuan has a son and a daughter under his knees, the son is named Mu Lianheng, and the daughter is named Mu Ziqing."

"The girl in front of you must be Mu Ziqing, there is no doubt about it."

"Mu Ziqing grew up in the UK since he was a child, and he is the pearl of Mu Zhongyuan. Every time Mu Zhongyuan went to Huaibi Tower to listen to music, he always bragged that only his daughter in Guangzhou City was raised in England. However, it is true that there is only one daughter of Mu Zhongyuan in the entire Guangzhou City, and the daughters of the rest of the merchants are all in order. ”

Li Xiaotong's eyes were full of appreciation and said with a smile: "Mu Ziqing is the only girl who can run barefoot on the street and dress like a foreigner." ”

Li Zhen looked at Mu Ziqing, who was stopped by the soldiers outside, and his eyes narrowed slightly.

A merchant of the Thirteen Lines of the Central Plains.

This identity is interesting.

When he first arrived in Guangzhou, he was already recruiting businessmen and officials in Guangzhou. It's time for him to do something. In particular, Mu Zhongyuan can travel back and forth to Guangzhou to do business with the United Kingdom, and must have certain contacts and channels.

"Lord Admiral, someone is going to rob me to be the lady of the village, save me!"

Mu Ziqing shouted again with his high heels in both hands.

Her voice is crisp and pleasant, her tone is not in a hurry, giving people a feeling full of joy, making people feel that her so-called 'Mrs. Zhai' is not real. Mu Ziqing snorted angrily, glared at the soldiers who were blocking the way, and was so angry that he stomped his feet again and again, and his feet as white as jade shook to attract a piece of attention.

The people on both sides of the street stopped to watch. Some of them looked greedily under Mu Ziqing, some appreciative, some curious, and more disdainful.

In this era, the Chinese people are all wonderful.

Even if Mu Ziqing doesn't wrap her feet, she still holds it in a good hand, which is still not in line with most people's tastes. In addition, Mu Ziqing's foreigner dress made the people secretly disdainful.

"Lord Admiral, you are the Lord of the Blue Sky, you can't watch the little girl being arrested!" Mu Ziqing looked back at the faces of the people who were chasing behind him who were getting closer and closer, and then showed a look of anxiety.

Li Zhen waved his hand and said, "Xiao Ye bring her over!" ”

"Yes!"

Ye Chengxin jumped out of the carriage and walked to the woman's side and said with a smile: "Miss, my lord, you go over!" ”

"Thank you!"

Mu Ziqing nodded at Ye Cheng, and strode towards the carriage in high heels, but stopped about two meters away from the carriage. It's not that she doesn't want to move forward, but because there are soldiers around the carriage to protect her from approaching. Li Xiaotong thought about it and asked first: "Are you Mu Zhongyuan's daughter?" ”

"Oh, how do you know my sister, so beautiful."

Mu Ziqing had a happy smile on her face, and her face quickly collapsed again, and said: "The old man always asks me to meet people I don't know, and my eldest brother doesn't give me any freedom." Sister, you must be a kind-hearted person if you are so beautiful. Help me, help me, help me! ”

Li Xiaotong pointed at Li Zhen and said: "It's right that he is the governor of Guangzhou and asked him for help!" ”

Mu Ziqing immediately said, "My lord, I beg you." ”

Li Zhen instructed: "Xiao Ye withdrew the soldiers and let Xiao Mu come over!" ”

Immediately, Mu Ziqing quickly got into the carriage, relying on Li Xiaotong in the carriage. Mu Ziqing looked at Li Xiaotong, who had a beautiful face next to him, and asked curiously, "Sister, do you know my old man?" ”

Li Xiaotong nodded and said, "There have been several contacts in business dealings. ”

"Wow, sister is a businessman, it's amazing."

Mu Ziqing looked at Li Zhen with envy on her face, but her eyes were watery and said, "Lord Admiral is so young and handsome. I thought the officials were all pot-bellied, but I didn't expect you to be so young, it's really surprising. Lord Admiral, I am already an adult, but the old man is always pointing fingers and arranging who and who is very annoying. You help solve this problem for the little girl, and the little woman will definitely repay her in the next life. ”

Li Zhen was amused when he heard this.

This Mu Ziqing is really out of the woods, first patting the sycophants, and then asking him to help.

Li Zhen asked with a smile, "Do you really want me to help you?" ”

That smile made Mu Ziqing shudder, and she shuddered a little. But when he thought of the old man in the family, every time he asked him to see the so-called world brother, cousin, cousin, etc., he had a strong resistance in his heart, nodded and said, "Lord Li, for the sake of this sister's face, you must help me." ”

Li Xiaotong also said: "Brother, you can help Xiao Mu." ”

"Uh-huh, you must help me." Mu Ziqing nodded like a chicken pecking rice.

Li Zhen smiled and said: "Actually, it's simple, I just recognize you as my sister." With this layer of identity, not to mention that your father is yours, those brothers, cousins, etc., dare not wronged you, you are free. ”

"Yes, yes!"

Mu Ziqing's face was overjoyed, with endless joy on her face.

Li Zhen was secretly ashamed in his eyes.

In order to connect with Mu Zhongyuan, he took advantage of Mu Ziqing's identity.

However, it can be regarded as helping Mu Ziqing solve the problem, which can be regarded as some comfort. Mu Ziqing looked back and saw that the eldest brother had already chased after him with a group of people, and he was immediately anxious. Mu Ziqing said eagerly: "My lord, my eldest brother chased after me with his family, you must help me!" If she is caught, she may really become someone else's wife. ”

Li Zhen waved his hand and said, "It's okay to go, go down with me." ”

As he spoke, Li Zhen got out of the carriage.

Mu Ziqing followed behind, looked at Mu Lianheng who was standing in front, and showed a smug look on his face.

"Xiao Mu will go back with me."

The person who spoke was Mu Ziqing's eldest brother Mu Lianheng. This person is tall, with a big face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, giving people a sense of loyalty and steadfastness. As soon as he spoke, with a hint of majesty, Mu Ziqing's momentum suddenly dropped by half, and he muttered: "I won't go back, hum, and I will see the so-called world brother, cousin and the like after I go back." ”

Mu Lianheng looked at Li Zhen helplessly and bowed and said, "Little sister is rude, Lord Admiral smiled. The adults also asked the little sister to come back, so as not to worry about the father. ”

Li Zhen waved his hand and said with a smile: "Xiao Mu is my sister I recognize, and her business is my business." Xiao Mu doesn't want to be forced into marriage, and I hope that Brother Mu will be more considerate. Xiao Mu go back, if you have any grievances in the future, go to the Admiral's Mansion to find me. When Mu Ziqing heard this, she obediently walked to Mu Lianheng's side, but she squeezed her eyebrows at Mu Lianheng, and she was very proud.

"Farewell!"

Mu Lianheng had a lot of confusion in his heart, but he didn't stay.

With a wave of his hand, Mu Lianheng led people away.

Li Zhen also returned to the carriage and ordered to return to the Admiral's Palace. He believed that Mu Lianheng would know his relationship with Mu Ziqing and would definitely ask Mu Ziqing. When Mu Zhongyuan knew the situation, it would be much more convenient for the two sides to have a bond.
