Chapter 185: Asking for Debts

As princesses, it is difficult for them to get out of the palace, and Mu Qing still feels a little sorry for Princess Jade in this regard.

Bai Lichen frowned, a little unhappy:

"This time the fourth child was injured in Yongzhou, my father will not easily let the Jade Princess go to Yongzhou again, and even if my father agrees, if something happens to her in Yongzhou, how do you explain to your father?"

Mu Qing shut up, just explain, she can't afford this responsibility, she can only feel sorry for the Jade Princess.

The last time the emperor went to Yongzhou, Princess Chen Guo died unexpectedly, this time he asked his son and daughter to go, but his son was injured, and it is estimated that the emperor has a shadow on Yongzhou.

"Then let's go then, when you're not busy, we'll go!"

Mu Qing is already making arrangements in her mind, she wants to drive the hot pot to the whole country, so that everyone in the country knows her hot pot!

Bai Lichen nodded, and said: "You don't have to feel sorry for the Jade Princess, there will be a spring hunt after the beginning of spring, and she will definitely go when the time comes." ”

Spring Hunting! Mu Qing's eyes lit up, and he looked at Bai Lichen with burning eyes.

A smile appeared on Bai Lichen's face, and his tone was a lot softer:

"This year's spring hunt will be discussed after the opening of the seal, and there are two more families, King Gong and King Yi, and I don't know how the Ministry of Rites will arrange it."

Mu Qing sighed, after all, it's just a matter of not having a shadow!

Bai Lichen thought for a while, and said softly: "I'm going to a banquet in the next two days, but I'm probably idle around the seventh day of the first month, so it's better to go to Yongzhou on the seventh day of the first month, and I should be busy on the twentieth day of the first month, and I guess I won't be able to spare time." ”

"Okay!" Mu Qing happily agreed, and he was idle anyway.

After returning to his parents' house in the second year of junior high school, he began to go to various mansions for banquets.

Bai Lichen's identity is here, and this year he is in good health again and is trusted by the emperor.

With the crown prince still locked up, Bailichen is simply a sweetheart.

Therefore, there are quite a few people who invite them, and they don't have to go to each house, just pick a few to go.

On the fifth day of the first month, several brothers of Bailichen gathered, and on the sixth day of the first month, he took Mu Qing into the palace.

The purpose of their entry into the palace this time was to talk about going to Yongzhou, lest the emperor temporarily have something to do and not find where the Bailichen people went.

The queen was worried about the prince's affairs, and she didn't have time to embarrass them, so she sent them away with physical discomfort without seeing them.

Bai Lichen met with the emperor and explained the reason, and went to the queen mother's palace again.

The Queen Mother was very worried when she heard that they planned to go to Yongzhou to play:

"Last time, so many of you went, but the fourth child was still injured in Yongzhou, I'm afraid it's not safe for you to go to Yongzhou, right?"

The Queen Mother is old, so she is naturally a little forward-looking.

Mu Qing couldn't speak, so he could only open his mouth in Bailichen:

"Imperial grandmother, the fourth child was injured last time because they didn't bring two guards, don't worry, we must bring two more guards to Yongzhou, and we will be fine."

"That's right, Imperial Grandmother, we definitely won't let ourselves get hurt, I still want to come back and eat the crisp cheese made in the Imperial Grandmother's Palace!"

Mu Qing leaned against the Queen Mother, with a slight flattery in his smile.

The Queen Mother listened to Mu Qing's words and smiled twice:

"Okay, well, I'll have someone make you two more servings when the time comes, so that you can eat enough!"

Mu Qing was even happier, and all kinds of rainbow farts of the Queen Mother were blown, and he didn't sit down until the Jade Princess came.

After saluting, the Jade Princess looked at Bai Lichen and Mu Qing unhappily:

"Third brother, third sister-in-law, why don't you take me with you if you want to go to Yongzhou, I want to go too!"

Mu Qing was silent, I wanted to take you there, but your brother was the first to not agree, and your father would not agree.

"Father won't let you go." Bai Lichen rejected the Jade Princess in disguise.

The jade princess choked, turned her head and begged the queen mother again:

"Imperial grandmother, you talk to your father, I want to go, I can't go around when I get married in the future, I want to play everywhere now, look at our great rivers and mountains, okay Imperial grandmother?"

The Jade Princess is very coquettish, and she grew up in the palace since she was a child, and under the knees of the Queen Mother, she knows very well which set the Queen Mother eats.

Mu Qing nodded frequently, he really learned!

The Queen Mother was coaxed by her to be happy, but she did not let go:

"I can't make decisions for your father, you can only go and beg your father."

The Jade Princess was a little deflated, turned around and ran to pull the corner of Bailichen's clothes:

"Third brother, you are the best, can you help me talk about it?"

The emperor's favorite thing at present is Bailichen, even the prince stands back, as long as Bailichen speaks, the emperor will definitely agree.

However, Bai Lichen didn't think about taking Princess Jade at all: "No, what if something happens to you?" ”

"No, I'll always follow the three...... The third sister-in-law's! The Jade Princess said and took Mu Qing's hand.

Bai Lichen was not soft at all: "Your third sister-in-law may also have an accident." ”

Mu Qing: "? "Big brother, can you hope for me?

The jade princess had nothing to say, so she simply sat on the stool next to her, and tears immediately fell:

"Okay, I know, you don't hurt me anymore, you usually say it nicely, but I didn't expect to say one thing and do another!"

Mu Qing almost laughed when he heard this, and lowered his head and held back a laugh.

In order to be able to go to Yongzhou, the Jade Princess plans to use all her tricks.

The Queen Mother saw that Princess Jade began to sprinkle, and immediately became serious:

"Cat slave, don't mess around, your third brother is also for you, you said you are a girl, if something happens to you, how can your third brother explain to your father?"

The cat slave is the nickname of the jade princess, and the daughter of the princess Chen Guo died early, and the emperor chose the word cat slave as her nickname after the birth of the jade princess, because of the folk saying - cheap names are easy to feed!

When the Jade Princess was a child, almost all of her elders called the cat slave, and it was only in the past two years that the Jade Princess became older and called it less.

This is the first time Mu Qing has heard the nickname of the Jade Princess, and he was directly amazed, it sounds so good!

Bai Lichen was also a little helpless, and he could only follow this sister:

"Otherwise, you go and tell your father that you want to go to Yongzhou, we will leave tomorrow morning, if you can convince your father, I will take you there."

The Jade Princess secretly rolled her eyes at Bai Lichen, she knew in her heart that the possibility of the emperor agreeing was very small.

However, with the queen mother's pressure, the jade princess didn't dare to spill anymore, so she could only run to find the emperor.

Not surprisingly, even if the Jade Princess said it, the emperor did not let go.

On the morning of the seventh day of the first month, Mu Qing and Bailichen set off to Yongzhou, and they also lived in the palace this time.

The two of them are ready to go out for a walk, and there will be a lantern festival in Yongzhou these two days!

Before it got dark, the two of them found a restaurant to eat, it was the restaurant where they had dinner last time, the same location, even the shopkeeper still had an impression of them.

"You two don't look like regular customers, but I look a little familiar!"

The shopkeeper thought about it for a long time and couldn't remember where he had seen them.

Mu Qing and Bai Lichen looked at each other and smiled without speaking, ordered a few of the best dishes and began to talk.

Mu Qing roughly talked about what he wanted a hot pot restaurant to look like, the flow of people should be large, the location should be good, and the store should be bigger.

The best hot pot restaurant in Beijing is the same as the storefront, with two floors and a courtyard.

"It's good, the store in Yongzhou is much cheaper than in Jingzhong, and you should be able to buy a very good store with your budget."

Bai Lichen analyzed the location of Yongzhou for her by the way.

The place where they are sitting now belongs to the center, and there are a lot of people!

The two of them were talking when there was a quarrel outside.

Mu Qing's hand holding the teacup trembled, probably because of the shadow left by the incident last time......

"Your son's debt has nothing to do with us, it's useless for you to beg us, either take the money to pay the debt, or we will take away your granddaughter! I don't embarrass you, you choose one yourself! "The fat big brother who asks for debts is gentle.

Mu Qing's position was just right to see them, the old and the young surrounded in the crowd.

The old man has gray hair and wears patched clothes, and the girl looks like she is fourteen or fifteen, and she looks delicate and lovely.

Dressed in patched coarse cloth, I'm crying like I can't figure it anymore.

The old man grabbed the corner of the fat brother's clothes and pleaded:

"I'm just such a granddaughter, my unsuccessful son owes a debt, you go to him, you let my granddaughter go!"

The fat brother dragged back his clothes and asked, "Where is he?" ”

The old man shook his head: "I don't know, he hasn't been home for more than half a month." ”

Mu Qing ate the pastry in his mouth, and couldn't help but complain to Bailichen:

"This old man's son is really bad, but this debtor looks like a good person."

Those who are accustomed to violence asking for debts, looking at such a gentle person at this time, it is simply a clear stream!

When the shopkeeper heard this, he hurriedly said: "You don't know, this old man is a celebrity of this generation, his ancestors are big families, but he is rich!" When it comes to him, it is not very good, when his son is young, he broke off the roots of children and grandchildren and could not give birth, and he became discouraged and became addicted to gambling, and ruined the family property! ”

Mu Qing didn't care, and said casually: "Can't give birth, don't you still have a daughter?" Wouldn't it be nice to recruit your daughter! ”

The descendants of the ancients did not include daughters, who were to marry off and become members of other people's families.

The descendants they are talking about only include their sons, but there are also recruits, and they can also be passed on to the family.

"Hey, guest officer, you don't know this, this wonderful person is not their own family, it was picked up by this old man!"

No wonder, Mu Qing sighed, somewhat sympathetic to these two people.

Bai Lichen saw that the shopkeeper hesitated and asked, "What is the secret in this?" ”

"I'm really right, I heard that someone threw this mother and baby at the gate of the city, in the middle of winter, or at night."

"Fortunately, this old man went to a relative's house late that day, and when he came back, he ran into it, I heard that this mother and baby should be a rich family, and the materials used in the swaddling clothes were all good, and the brocade outside was heard to be Shu brocade!"

Mu Qing raised his eyebrows, Mu Qing liked Shu brocade very much in his previous life, but the price was too expensive, and ordinary people like her couldn't afford to wear it.

After becoming the concubine of Bailichen, the palace rewarded a lot of brocades, including two Shu brocades, which are the two most expensive in addition to brocade!

It can be seen that if it is really Shu brocade, then the family must be either rich or expensive.

After all, most of the Shu brocade is used for tribute, and only a very small number of them will fall into the hands of rich merchants, such as the Wan family!

There are several Shu brocade clothes in Wanguan!
