Chapter 184: Jealousy
Tang Wang nodded: "Yes, these scholars only know how to read the imperial examination, and whether they can be promoted in the future is one thing." ”
If the two of them used to think that marrying a scholar was very good, after all, it was very likely that they would be promoted and slaughtered as officials in the future.
However, after seeing these glory and wealth, and seeing the prince, can they still be satisfied with just scholars?
Mu Chenghai looked at Tang with a calm face, and Tang was also a little unnatural, so he turned his face away slightly.
"Since you don't like these scholars, forget it."
Mu Chenghai paused as he spoke, and continued without waiting for them to be happy:
"After the seventh day of the first month, you can take Tang Yu back, and I will prepare a coil for you."
"What!" The three of them were startled, and Tang was the first to scream, "Mu Chenghai! You're going to kill me! ”
In Tang's view, Tang Yu is her life-root.
Tang Zhi pursed his lips, quite dissatisfied:
"Cousin, if you are not satisfied, you just come to us, why bother to go to Yu'er, are you unhappy when you see that our Yu'er is going to compete with your daughter for favor?"
Mu Chenghai glanced at Tang Yu, who was lost next to him, and said coldly:
"Tang Yu is your daughter, so naturally she should go back with you, you don't know yet, she went to recommend herself to the pillow just now, I really can't afford to lose this person!"
Tang opened her mouth and didn't know what to say for a while, she didn't expect Tang Yu to go to the self-recommended pillow seat......
But she quickly reacted:
"I don't care, Mu Chenghai, since things have come to this point, you have to think of a way to let your daughter get her wish, it will really be good for you to let her go to the Three Princes' Mansion."
Mu Chenghai was so angry that he choked: "Mother, Qing'er is your own granddaughter!" How can you say that? ”
Tang rolled his eyes: "What granddaughter?" I didn't grow up in front of me, and I jumped out of the belly of the daughter of the merchant in the evening Lianyu, I don't have such a granddaughter! ”
The Tang family dislikes Wan Lianyu very much, and feels that Wan Lianyu is very arrogant because she has two stinky money in the family, and she naturally doesn't like Mu Qing who was born by Wan Lianyu.
Mu Chenghai had a headache, rubbed his temples and said in a low voice:
"In short, don't be delusional, either pick a good family, or go back to your hometown!"
Dropping this sentence, Mu Chenghai walked out of Deshou Hall, and soon there were crying and scolding inside.
Mu Chenghai suddenly regretted a little, regretting that he shouldn't have let the Tang family stay in his hometown town in the first place.
If you go to Beijing with him, you may still have some feelings with your two granddaughters, and there will be no Tang Yu.
But it's hard to buy, and I knew it early, and no matter how much Mu Chenghai regretted it, it was useless.
Mu Qing and Bai Lichen returned to the house a little sullen, and when Bai Lichen asked, Mu Qing spoke:
"I just can't understand why sometimes people can be as eccentric as the old lady, no matter how my father is her own son, isn't it better than an outsider?"
Even if he knew that the Tang family was eccentric, Mu Qing couldn't figure it out when he really saw Tang Yu like that.
"I think if that person were me, I would definitely be more partial to my son." Mu Qing said very firmly.
Bai Lichen shook his head with a smile, and his voice was gentle:
"Then do you think your feelings for someone are innate, or are they slowly cultivated?"
"Of course, it's slowly cultivated!" Mu Qing replied without hesitation.
"That's right, the old lady's feelings for Tang Yu are cultivated, Tang Yu has always been by her side, plus Tang Yu is not a fool, she can speak, she can make the old lady happy, ten years of companionship, this is the feeling."
Bai Lichen paused as he spoke, and said in a low voice:
"And you don't know that after your father died, Old Lady Zeng brought Mu Chenghai to his side to raise him personally, and Mu Chenghe originally wanted to bring it personally, but the Tang family disagreed, so he only took Mu Chenghai away."
"The son who didn't grow up by his side hasn't seen him for more than ten years after becoming an official, and this kind of relationship is very indifferent."
Everyone thought that Mu Chenghai was brought out by the Tang family, but it was not at all, he was brought up by the old lady Zeng himself.
Old lady Zeng knew very well who the Tang family was, but when the Tang family had just lost her husband, it was impossible for him to take away the two children at once, so he left Mu Chenghe to the Tang family.
Now that many years have passed, Mu Chenghai and Mu Chenghe have become two things, which shows that the old lady Zeng was also a wise move.
"Feelings are such complicated things."
Mu Qing didn't know that there was such a thing in this, so he could only sigh why the old lady Zeng was not ruthless and took Mu Chenghe away.
Bai Lichen was amused by her worried look:
"It is said that parents' love for their children is innate, but in fact, the cultivation of the day after tomorrow is also very important, and Tang's father is a liezi."
Mu Qingshen thought so.
"What example?" As soon as Bai Lihong came in, he happened to hear Bai Lichen say this.
Bai Lichen frowned: "Why are you here?" ”
When did the guards in his house become decorations? actually let Bailihong come and go freely?
Bai Lihong hurriedly explained: "Third brother, I came over the wall, don't misunderstand." ”
"Over the wall?" Mu Qing blinked, a little excited in his heart.
Is it like in the TV series, flying eaves and walking walls!
"That's right, I went to choose a site for the princess's mansion, and there is actually one next door to you!"
Bai Lihong was a little excited, and took out a note to show them, there were several addresses written on it, all of which were very good locations in Beijing.
Princess Jade is old, and now she can choose a husband to marry, and of course the princess's mansion will be built.
"This is good, we can talk together every day in the future!" Mu Qing is very satisfied with this address.
"Not good." Bai Lichen shook his head:
"Next door used to be the Xianwang Mansion, but later the rebellion was sealed, it was not very clean, and her father favored her and would not let her choose such an unlucky place as the princess's mansion."
Bai Lihong also nodded: "So I chose this one in Qiandeng Lane, which is about the same size as King Xian's Mansion, and the location is also very good, and it is also very close to the imperial city, and it is also very convenient to return to the palace in the future!" ”
Mu Qing frowned and thought about the location of Qiandeng Lane, and also felt that it was very good.
"Then it's decided, I'll talk to the Jade Princess when I go back." Bai Lihong put the note away, with a smile on his face:
"Third brother and third sister-in-law, I have a rare trip today, I want to eat hot pot ......"
Bai Lichen glanced at him, very reluctant, Mu Qing was very happy, and immediately asked people to prepare to go, eating hot pot is just to be more lively!
Bai Lihong has already eaten hot pot once, and he has never forgotten it.
Although the palace thinks this way of eating is very novel, but it has not been tried in the end, so many people can't get Bailihong's point.
"I'm going to let my mother try it too, third sister-in-law, do you have any pot to sell me?"
Mu Qing was so happy: "Why are you so polite!" Later, the third sister-in-law will give you a set, and you can eat another meal when you go back in the evening! ”
If the nobles in the palace like it, you can advertise in the future that the nobles in the palace have the same hot pot!
"Chasing stars" is a truth from ancient times to the present!
Mu Qing was happy to let them advertise himself.
"By the way, I plan to open a branch in Yongzhou, so after the Chinese New Year, I plan to go to Yongzhou to see the location!"
Mu Qingyi was happy and announced the good news in advance.
Bai Lihong was very supportive, saying that he would definitely go to join in the fun when the door was opened, but Bai Lichen looked at them with a calm face.
This kind of thing Mu Qing should have been the first to discuss with him and let him know, but now he is happy to talk to Bai Lihong here.
Bai Lichen suddenly felt depressed, the hot pot was not delicious, and after eating two bites, he left with a calm face.
"What's going on?" Mu Qing scratched his head, not knowing where he had made this master unhappy.
Bai Lihong was a little weak-hearted: "Why don't you go and have a look?" ”
He felt that his third brother was jealous!
Mu Qing was a little entangled, and only after a while did he sigh and resigned himself to Bailichen.
Bai Lichen was in the study, Mu Qing ran into the study and saw him holding a book and watching it, so he couldn't help but lean in and ask:
"What's wrong with you? Isn't it upset? ”
"Nope." Bai Lichen replied stiffly, but he still couldn't help but add a strange sentence, "You go back to accompany the ninth brother." ”
Mu Qing was a little speechless, and pulled out the book in his hand: "You took the book upside down." ”
Bai Lichen: "......"
"It's not that I didn't discuss with you in advance about opening a branch in Yongzhou, it's because I was busy and forgot about the New Year, there are too many things, and I only remembered it when I talked about it today."
Mu Qing said as he looked at Bai Lichen cautiously.
Bai Lichen's expression on his face was much better when he heard this, and Mu Qing made persistent efforts:
"Actually, I want to hear your opinion, you're so powerful!"
For people who fry their hair, especially people like Bai Lichen, it is the best way to brush the hair, and Mu Qing thinks so.
Sure enough, when Bai Lichen saw her sincerity, there were two more smiles on his face:
"In fact, it is really good to open a branch in Yongzhou, Yongzhou is close to the capital, it is convenient for you to manage, if something really happens, you can also rush over as soon as possible, Yongzhou is also a companion capital, although it is not as prosperous as the capital, but it is also very good, opening a branch there will not let you lose money."
Mu Qing nodded vigorously, that's what she thought.
Bai Lichen looked at her like this, and suddenly changed his words:
"But you are not familiar with Yongzhou, if you just go and want to open a store there, it is unrealistic, maybe there are more than one or two people who find fault."
Mu Qing thought about it carefully, it was really like this, opening a store in the capital, knowing that the store was her, the third princess, there were so many people making trouble, not to mention Yongzhou, who was not familiar to her.
"So what do you think should be done?" Mu Qing humbly asked.
Bai Lichen took the qi book and read it again, and there were two points of pride on his face:
"I have a friend in Yongzhou, maybe I can help you then, he is doing business in Yongzhou, the same as his grandfather, but he is from Yongzhou, and he has been in Yongzhou for generations, not to mention anything else, it is not difficult to cover you!"
Mu Qing's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly turned into a little fan girl: "I knew that you were the best, then ...... then"
"I'll just go with you." Bai Lichen said lightly, but the smile on the corner of his mouth betrayed him.
Mu Qing was even happier when he heard this, as if he had already seen his branch in Yongzhou open.
"However, do you want to take Princess Jade with you, Princess Jade said last time that she would like to go to Yongzhou if she has a chance in the future, and it just so happens that we are going too, why don't you take her to have fun with her?"
