Chapter 123: Repaying the Favor
In the end, he owed Mu Qing something in his heart, and mistakenly thought that Mu Wan saved himself, so he almost killed his real life-saving benefactor several times, and now it is false to say anything to repay the favor.
Now he can only be regarded as atonement, not repayment.
"You can rest assured, since I am not guilty of the past, then Bailichen will naturally not say anything over there." Mu Qing's smile was gentle, and he looked gentle and virtuous.
However, despite this, Tsing Yi felt that she seemed to be a little different.
I don't know if everyone will change, she seems to be different from the person who once saved her.
Seeing that he was stunned, Mu Qing asked, "What are you thinking?" ”
"It's nothing, since the three princes and the three princesses can ignore the past suspicions, then I naturally have no opinions."
Tsing Yi bent down slightly after speaking, but his eyes revealed some different feelings.
Because his gaze was too hot, his heart on the side saw the clue, so he hurriedly stepped forward and blocked Tsing Yi's gaze.
Because his gaze was blocked, Tsing Yi could only withdraw his gaze.
After settling in Tsing Yi, Mu Qing went to Bailichen.
At this time, he was sitting in the courtyard discussing the next imperial examination, although the emperor had ordered the removal of Tsing Yi, but how to say that he is now also a staff member in his own house, if he can really enter the officialdom, he can be regarded as being able to help himself.
The Taifu sat opposite Bailichen, looking at the tea in front of him with some trepidation.
It was once rumored that the third prince was in poor health, and he was afraid that it would be difficult to succeed to the throne in the future, but now she is getting better day by day, and he gradually has his status in the court.
In addition, the emperor already favored him, and the court naturally wanted to favor him a little, and his current body looked like he was going to die at any time.
"Mrs. Liu, you can't be distracted when you're playing." Bai Lichen's eyes rolled slightly, picked up the sunspot and landed on Tian Yuan.
Playing chess is false, but there are things that are real.
Then how could Mrs. Liu not know this truth, seeing that Bai Lichen fell on Tianyuan as soon as he came, so he quickly knelt down and said, "I don't know what the third prince commands, the old minister should do his best." ”
There is a lot of attention on the chessboard, the third prince started so quickly, I think I have a mind in my heart, he is just a courtier, I don't dare to speculate about the idea of the Son of Heaven, but I also know what it means to stand.
The first prince scolded himself several times, but he refused, but because he felt that the prince was not worthy of the position, now that the third prince has the strength to compete, he naturally follows wholeheartedly.
"What is Mrs. Liu doing, this prince just wants to ask you for a small favor." Bai Lichen said with a smile, but the smile in his eyes did not reach the bottom of his eyes.
Mrs. Liu hurriedly said: "What direct orders the third prince has, as long as the old minister can do it, he must do his best." ”
"You don't have to do your best, it's just that there is a staff member in the prince's mansion, who was misjudged, and now he can't participate in the imperial examination, the prince is very sad, if such a talented person can't show his talent in the court, it is really a misfortune for the court." Bai Lichen made his words clear.
Thinking about it, Mrs. Liu is not a fool, if he understands it like this, no matter who understands it, Mrs. Liu will naturally understand it.
"The third prince can rest assured, since he was wronged, the old minister will naturally find a way to return his innocence." Mrs. Liu said.
However, Bai Lichen waved his hand and said: "If it is just to return his innocence, how can this prince find Taifu, but I heard that it is the people from the prince's side who execute this time, and Taifu knows what this prince means?" ”
"Understood, understood, the old minister knows what to do." Mrs. Liu nodded in response, without hesitation.
Seeing him like this, Bai Lichen smiled knowingly, and then said to the attendants on the side: "It's good to send the Taifu back." ”
He knew that this Mrs. Liu had rejected the prince many times, and the prince would never accept him as his own person again, such a person would be best for himself.
Mrs. Liu is also a smart person, he hopes that the throne is a capable person to sit on, and he also wants to stand in line, the prince can't do it, and in this prince, only he who is in good health has the strength to compete.
In the end, it is just an interweaving of interests, although it is simple, but it is also very good.
After Mrs. Liu left, Mu Qing walked in from outside, and as soon as he came, he sat down where Mrs. Liu was sitting, looked at the chessboard and sighed twice, "No wonder he was scared like this." ”
As he spoke, he picked up the white words and landed on the five five.
With such a start, few people dared in ancient times.
"You're bold." Bai Lichen looked at the chessboard and laughed, and the black man also fell on the fifth five.
The two of them walked in a thrilling way, but they restrained themselves.
"How can you be bold, you dare to scare someone like Mrs. Liu." Mu Qing said with a chuckle.
Who doesn't know that Mrs. Liu once taught the emperor, even if he is a little embarrassed in front of today's saints, otherwise the prince would not have tried to win him over several times.
Bai Lichen shrugged his shoulders indifferently and said, "Why don't you dare, he has a handle in my hand." ”
Most of the people in the court have a handle in his hand, but those people don't know, but there are some cards, you can't shake them out too quickly, otherwise it's not fun.
"Since the queen and the crown prince can't sit still, it's better to give them some big gifts, so as not to always think about us." Bai Lichen said, falling again, seventeen and fourteen.
Mu Qing looked at his falling move, and reluctantly threw the chess pieces in his hand, "No, your fall is too domineering." ”
A few steps are all advances, she can only retreat several steps in a row, if she retreats a few more steps, I am afraid that she will lose ugly.
"If you don't want to go down, you can't go down." Bai Lichen didn't care about her helpless appearance, she was just to scare and scare that Mrs. Liu, but she didn't really want to play chess.
"Since you have accepted Tsing Yi, why bother him when he returns." Mu Qing asked.
Although she knew about surrounding Tsing Yi in front of the house, she still couldn't understand why he did this, it was too petty.
However, Bai Lichen didn't intend to explain to her, just chuckled, "I let him enter the court just to help him do things better for me, isn't this exactly what you want, as for me to rectify him, that's another matter." ”
Mu Qing has defended him for so long, and he is not allowed to be angry?
"It's good if you're happy." Mu Qing sighed and didn't speak again.
She still doesn't understand Bai Lichen's thinking very well, but it's not a big deal, and the turmoil about this matter has also calmed down, and when the imperial examination starts later, then according to Tsing Yi's strength, it should be able to be promoted.
Back in the courtyard, Xin'er looked at Mu Qing's smile and couldn't help asking, "Niangniang, what is so happy?" ”
"It's going to be peaceful in this house for a while, can you not be happy?" Mu Qing said, the smile on his face couldn't be hidden.
The peace in the house shows that she has time to manage her own affairs and make money again, which is probably the happiest thing.
Where can Xin'er understand her thoughts, but she is a little depressed, hasn't this house always been peaceful, I haven't seen any turmoil, is it because I missed something?
The liquor shop in the north of the city was once bought by Mu Qing, but because the wine there was too strong for women, Mu Qing kept it closed.
You must know that there are many liquor shops in the capital, if they are all sold to men, then she really has no competitiveness, what she wants to do is to change this liquor shop to be built by women.
She hadn't figured out how to do it yet, but she had had an idea since she drank Tsing Yi's wine last time.
"Xin'er, go and invite Tsing Yi." Mu Qing designed the furnishings and layout of the wine shop in the courtyard.
Originally, she planned to just set up some tables, but in this case, then there would be less elegance.
The ladies in the capital are more or less elegant, when the time comes, it is the first floor to put wine, the second floor to make some screens, please some Yiren to play the qin, the third floor to make a private room, the whole wine shop into a modern café business model is not bad.
"Niangniang, you better have less contact with him." Xin'er heard that she was going to find Tsing Yi again, and even though she was a little unhappy.
Every time the mother saw Tsing Yi, the three princes would be unhappy for a long time, and now they are finally free, and they have to look for it again.
"You know what, go find it." Mu Qing looked at her angrily and said.
Now that everything in the liquor store has been designed, there is a lack of wine recipes, and I blame myself for not being able to learn the recipe of cocktails in modern times, and now I can only find someone to learn it.
There are no coffee beans in this dynasty, otherwise there would be no need to ask for help.
Xin'er reluctantly went to find Tsing Yi, and when she came back, she didn't give Mu Qing any good looks, and walked into the house with a pout, but she looked angry.
Mu Qing shook his head helplessly, looked at Tsing Yi and said, "Have you thought about letting you teach me to make wine first?" ”
"Since Niangniang wants to open a wine shop, why do you want to make your own wine, wouldn't it be good to find someone to brew it?" Tsing Yi said, taking out two jars of wine from the side, "This is my new brew, why don't you taste it." ”
Hearing this, Mu Qing showed a hint of surprise and hurriedly tasted it.
It feels like peach blossom wine, but the peach blossom wine in the capital is too strong, not as sweet as this, that is, the entrance is fragrant, and the aftertaste makes people reverie.
"This wine is different from what I drank before." Mu Qing said in surprise.
Tsing Yi smiled and handed over the green plum wine on the side, "It was all taught to me by an old gentleman, and his wife had good wine but couldn't drink too strong wine, so she made fruit wine." ”
Mu Qing nodded, only feeling that this wine was a little top.
"If you like it, you can find someone and I'll teach them, so you don't have to make your own wine." Tsing Yi suggested.
Hearing this, Mu Qing nodded in agreement, and then put the wine aside, "Then it's decided, I'll send someone over to you tomorrow." ”
This kind of non-strong fruit wine pays attention to the time and skill of brewing, the so-called recipe, of course, you have to find a trustworthy person to do it, she already has an idea in her heart.
