Chapter 161: Snow Disaster
Wanyan is seventeen this year, and Wanshuang is sixteen, which is the time to study, and Wanguan is fourteen, and it is also the time to say pro.
"That's good, it's just that they are all in Beijing now, and they can take care of each other!"
Mu Qing was happy that they were going to stay, and he would have a relative who could move around a lot in the future, of course, there was another reason.
The late family is in business, and it seems that they are also capable, otherwise they would not have such a family background.
She can learn from the late family and learn how to get rich, oh no, how to make money.
Bai Lichen saw through Mu Qing's careful thoughts at a glance, but he didn't say anything.
"Are the two cousins going to study in Beijing? Guozijian will start the exam next month. ”
Bai Lichen thought of this after a little thought.
Baili Country does not stipulate that the son of a merchant cannot conduct scientific examinations, and the late family should go to Beijing this time for the sake of these two juniors to get a better education.
Master Wan nodded: "They have studied in Fuxue for a period of time before, but I think that Guozijian is better, so I want the two of them to give it a try, and whether they can enter depends on their own ability." ”
Guozijian, this Mu Qing is not very clear, he was not interested after hearing what they said, and turned to talk to the two aunts and Wan Wan.
Wanguan's temperament jumps out, and he is very arrogant, he didn't understand Mu Qing at first and was a little restrained, but when he became familiar with it, he exposed his true temperament.
This character is quite similar to Dong Shu'er, if these two get together, they will definitely be able to play.
After eating, the two of them said goodbye and went back to the Three Princes' Mansion.
Early the next morning, Mu Qing wanted to call Bailichen to Wan's house, but was told by Danqing that Bailichen went to the palace in the middle of the night last night, and it was said that the emperor urgently summoned him.
"Could something be wrong?" Mu Qing's heart immediately lifted.
Bailichen was called into the palace in the middle of the night, which really had to make people think about it.
She still has to rely on the name of the third princess to make money, if the third prince is ......
Mu Qing shook his head and hurriedly put these messy thoughts aside.
"It should be a matter of the court, I don't know, but it was not only our Royal Highness who entered the palace last night, but also His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and several ministers." Danqing saw that Mu Qing was worried, and immediately comforted her.
Mu Qing was a little relieved, but he was still worried, so he simply waited for Bailichen to come back in the house, and sent someone to Wan's house to say that he would not go for the time being.
Near noon, Bai Lichen came back, dusty, and it was still dark now.
Seeing that Bailichen was not missing arms and legs, Mu Qing was also completely relieved, and asked casually:
"What's the matter in the palace, calling you into the palace so late?"
Bai Lichen took the cloak and took a sip of hot tea: "The snow disaster in Yuezhou, many people died, and my father asked us to enter the palace to discuss disaster relief." ”
The snow disaster can be big or small, but the emperor called them into the palace overnight to discuss, which proves that it is not a small snow disaster.
"You're going for disaster relief?" Mu Qing's eyes lit up, and he had a small abacus in his heart.
Bai Lichen glanced at her: "Don't think about it, this time the disaster relief prince will go, but it's not me." ”
"Prince?" Mu Qing is in a complicated mood, can the prince provide disaster relief?
Don't make it worse, thank goodness.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to make meritorious contributions, originally my father wanted to set a charter and pick two suitable people in the household department, but the prince insisted on going, and my father approved it."
Bai Lichen was also sad in his heart, he wished that the prince would make a mistake, but it was obviously not his willingness to use such a thing as disaster relief to make him make a mistake, it was about so many people.
But the crown prince cried like that in front of the emperor, which made the emperor's heart soften.
Mu Qing didn't care: "Can he do a good job?" In the case of disaster relief, there must be a lot of money allocated, right? ”
Mu Qing thought about the last time he was in disaster relief, but he spent a lot of money.
Last time, he was not a large-scale disaster relief, and it was a waste of money like the snow disaster, not only to give porridge, but also to help the people repair their houses, clear the roads, and distribute supplies to protect them from the cold......
In this way, it will cost a lot of money in Guangyue Prefecture.
But there must be some affected places near Yuezhou, and it is impossible to ignore those places, so after calculating it again, Mu Qing only felt that there were white flowers in front of him.
"It's really a lot, and Yuezhou alone allocated 150,000 taels."
Mu Qing sighed, when will she be able to earn 150,000 taels.
"It's going to be cold for the next two days, so don't go out." Bai Lichen looked at Mu Qing's gaze with two points of concern.
Mu Qing waved his hand disappreciatively: "I'm going to Wanjia tomorrow, I was supposed to go today, but you ...... it."
Halfway through speaking, Mu Qing shut up and looked away.
Bai Lichen's heart moved: "Worried about me as a result?" ”
"Who's worried about you......" Mu Qing replied stiffly.
The corners of Bai Lichen's mouth hooked up a smile, he was too tired to do it, but it made him feel a lot more energetic at this time.
Well, it seems that the mood is a lot better.
"It's no problem for you to go to the evening house, it's not far away anyway, but I don't think I have time to accompany you, and I still have to keep an eye on the disaster relief."
It is inevitable that others will not disagree with such a large sum of silver, and of course Bailichen must do a good job of logistics to ensure that the money is delivered to the prince.
As for whether the prince will use it, it has nothing to do with him how to use the money.
Mu Qing expressed her understanding and was not reluctant, so she went to Wan's house the next day by herself.
Mu Qing was planning to take Wanguan to visit Beijing today, and it happened that Wanguan had rested for two days, and the two of them said hello and went out.
The two of them walked around the streets and alleys, and by the way, they went to Beijing to buy the best jewelry - Jinyu Building.
"Jingzhong is really prosperous, I used to only listen to my grandfather and father at home, but now I know it's true when I see it with my own eyes."
Wan Wan looked at the jewelry in front of him with a smile on his face:
"We went to Beijing this time and put a lot of things on the convoy in Beijing behind, there is no jewelry at this time, it just so happens that these are popular in Beijing, cousin, you show me which one looks good."
Mu Qing silently glanced at the whole set of chicken blood stone noodles on Wanguan's head, the color is excellent, bright red like blood, and the workmanship is fine, such a set of head noodles can be regarded as worth a thousand gold.
Sure enough, being rich is capricious!
"It's all very good-looking, I also have a jewelry shop, but it's not worth selling anything, so I'll sell a trick and take you to see it later!" Mu Qing highly recommends his own shop.
Wan Wan nodded hurriedly: "Okay, go in a while!" ”
As soon as the words fell, a sarcastic voice came: "Yo, this is the cousin of the third princess, right?" ”
Mu Wan!
Hearing the voice, Mu Qing knew that it was her, and when he looked up, it was Mu Wan, who was looking at them with a sarcastic expression at this time.
"Big sister, have you forgotten the rules again?" Mu Qing rolled his eyes:
"Just let your dad hire a nurturing grandmother for you, save you from going out like this and hitting a nobleman."
I knew that I should have looked at the yellow calendar before going out, and I wouldn't run into Mu Wan.
Mu Wan's face stiffened, and she suppressed her angry perfunctory salute: "I've seen the third princess!" ”
Wan Wan looked her up and down and asked Mu Qing:
"Cousin, is this the daughter born to my uncle in the outer room that he raised outside?"
Not many people knew about Liu's work in the outer room, and it was mentioned a few words vaguely, but there were very few people like Wan Wan who said it nakedly.
Seeing Wanwan's serious look, Mu Qing nodded hurriedly: "That's right!" ”
Which one of the people who can come to Jinyulou is not rich or expensive, Mu Wan's voice just now is not small, and she has seen it all at this moment.
Threes and threes talked together, staring at Mu Wan with mocking eyes.
Mu Wan was so angry that she didn't care about being in front of the public, and pointed at Wanguan and scolded:
"What do you say! You are also ...... the daughter of a merchant."
"What's wrong with Shang Jia?" Wan Wan interrupted her and sarcastically said:
"Shangjia, our family does not have an outer room to marry people, my aunt is also from a businessman's family, your mother is not a noble family, and she also has to perform a concubine ceremony in front of my aunt's tablet?"
"Indeed!" Mu Qing thought of the last time he went back to worship the late jade, and the scene where the Liu family knelt in front of the late jade tablet, he was in a very good mood.
There are more and more people watching the excitement around, and naturally some people recognize Mu Wan and Mu Qing.
Mu Wan had a dark face, and lowered her voice with a threat: "Mu Qing, don't go too far!" ”
Mu Qing winked at her and asked rhetorically, "Where did I go too far?" ”
Mu Wan saw that it was too late to talk about her, so she turned to talk about her?
Mu Wan's face darkened, Mu Qing couldn't see it, and pulled Wan Wan to get up:
"Big sister, I'll go first, remember to tell my aunt when I go home, my grandfather's family has come to Beijing, and after two days of settlement, I will definitely go back to worship my mother, so I will trouble my aunt to clean up the ancestral hall."
Although the Wan family didn't say it, worship must be indispensable.
Mu Wan didn't want to watch the two of them leave, but there were more and more people around, and she didn't want to be treated as monkeys by them, so she could only leave with anger.
Two lowly girls from businessmen! Someday she'll get everything she had today!
Mu Qing and Wanguan laughed as soon as they got into the carriage.
"Cousin, when I didn't go to Beijing before, my grandfather always talked about you, afraid that you would have a bad time, afraid that they would embarrass you, you have been ...... all these years"
Wan Wan wanted to speak and stopped, looking at Mu Qing's eyes was very complicated.
Mu Qing's heart was sour, and his eyes were red, which was about the feelings of the original owner.
"I'm very good, you see just now, Mu Wan didn't take advantage of it, and obediently came up to greet me."
Mu Qing shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands indifferently, "I'm the imperial concubine now, it's impossible for her to bully me." ”
Even if she wanted to, the royal couldn't just watch her being bullied.
Wan Wan saw that her eyes were a little red, and she also understood that she was just saying this to comfort her.
"Don't worry, our late family will be in Beijing in the future, although it is not as good as the Mu family, but it can also help you."
Wan Wan said and remembered Mu Wan's style just now, with anger on her face:
"Cousin, don't worry, next time, I will definitely help you teach her a good lesson!"
I wasn't in the mood to go to the shop anymore after this incident, so the two of them talked and laughed and went back to their evening home.
got off the carriage at the door, and Mu Qing saw a gorgeous carriage parked at the door.
Mu Qing felt a little familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a while, but he didn't take it to heart, thinking that there was a guest at the evening house.
As a result, when I arrived at the hall, I saw that there was no guest, this guest was Mu Chenghai!
