Chapter 149: A faint ache
"You bumped into it yourself, we didn't take your purse." The man immediately pleaded.
Hearing the man's voice, Mu Ningxuan suddenly felt a faint pain in her head, but she didn't know why.
"You Jinguo people are thieves!" I don't know who said it in the crowd, but the two people in the rivers and lakes agreed with each other, and looked at the man and woman with disdain.
Hearing this, the woman frowned, took a big step forward, and raised her head and said, "What's wrong with the fact that we are from Tianjin, are all the people of Tianjin thieves?" Our people in Tsu are just like yours, they are all human beings! However, today I found out that the people of our country of Tianjin are indeed not very different from you, we are frank and bold, and we will not deliberately frame others, but it is a big crime to frame people in our country. ”
"You say we stole your money bags, but the money bags are on your own." The man answered.
Mu Ningxuan's sharp eyes saw that one of the people in the rivers and lakes had a little weakness on his face, and then saw that his hand was quietly throwing the money bag in his hand behind him, so he immediately gave the little prince a look.
The little prince immediately exposed the lies of these two people in the rivers and lakes.
Although these two people are xenophobic because of their patriotism, it would be too dangerous if this trivial matter caused a conflict between our DPRK and Tianjin.
Over the years, I have pursued the rule of the world with culture. The status of civil officials is much higher than that of military generals, and the ways for military generals to be promoted are also very limited.
As a result, there are fewer and fewer people in our DPRK's military service, and the generals have no intention of making meritorious contributions at all, and our DPRK's military strength is weakening, which is an inevitable trend.
Although the country of Tianjin is small but strong, the people of Tianjin can all ride and shoot well, the people are fierce, and the country of Tianjin is united, and the army and the people are united.
Therefore, the official family is extremely reluctant to fight with Jinguo.
The matter came to light, and when the two martial arts people left, the crowd dispersed.
The men and women from the country of Jin thanked the little prince together.
"Are you the prince?" The woman looked at the little prince with eyes like water.
The little prince nodded and said, "Yes." ”
"Thank you just for coming to the rescue." The woman's voice was hearty, and she bent down with her fists at the little prince, and the man next to the woman also bent down with her fists at the same time, and the two of them were holding the Jin Guo ceremony.
The little prince raised his hand slightly, and said lightly: "It's just a gesture, why did you come all the way from Tianjin to come here?" ”
"We are merchants, and we came to the capital to buy some things that you have but that our country does not have and bring back to sell, so as to earn the difference." The woman said bluntly, and then said, "This time we also brought mink and fox skins that are not available in your country but are abundant in my country to sell. ”
The little prince smiled and asked, "How is it sold?" "The smile is official, cold and detached.
"The sale is not good, I don't know if it is because the price we ask for is too high, but our mink and fox skins are extremely difficult to obtain." The woman said admittedly.
"It's normal to sell winter clothes in the summer, when are you going to go back?"
"When we finish selling the mink and fox skins we brought from our country, we will go back."
The little prince nodded in understanding.
The woman glanced at Mu Ningxuan, who was wearing a hat next to the little prince, and said in a somewhat sour tone: "Is this your lady next to you?" ”
"It's not." After speaking, the little prince also glanced at Mu Ningxuan, but did not find any sad expression on Mu Ningxuan's face.
The woman immediately showed her face and smiled at Mu Ningxuan: "The girl also helped us just now, in this way, where is your house, I will send you some mink and fox skins tomorrow." ”
"No need."
"No need."
Mu Ningxuan and the little prince said at the same time.
"Yes, we people in Tianjin have always been gracious! My name is Xianxian, and this is Si Luo. The woman pointed to the man next to her and continued, "We ran into trouble the first time we went north and south, thanks to your help, we have made friends like yours, but I don't know if you dislike our lowly status." ”
"Born as a human being, how can you say that you are noble and cheap. By the way, which restaurant in Beijing do you live in now? The little prince asked.
The woman named Xianxian replied truthfully: "We live in a small inn on the outskirts of Beijing, and we originally wanted to live in the capital, but the inns and restaurants in the capital are all full. ”
"It's not convenient for you to stay in a suburb inn in Beijing and sell things back and forth every day. In this way, you will take your belongings tomorrow to the Songhe Restaurant in the capital, where this king has an upper room, so you can stay first. The little prince said generously.
Xianxian suddenly smiled like a flower and said: "Great, we're not welcome, we'll move over tomorrow." ”
Si Luo next to him seemed to want to speak and stopped, but seeing that the fairy was so happy, he didn't speak.
"Rabbit River Lantern!" Xian Xian suddenly pointed to the river lantern in Xiaofu's hand very excitedly and said, "I just wanted to buy it but I didn't buy it." ”
As soon as Xiaofu heard this, she hurriedly hugged the rabbit river lantern in her arms, afraid that she would be snatched away by this Jinguo woman.
"There's one for sale in front." Mu Ningxuan pointed in the direction she had just come over.
"Si Luo, buy one for me!" Xian Xian was not annoyed when she saw that Mu Ningxuan did not cut her love, "You wait a minute, wait for Si Luo to buy the rabbit river lantern back, let's go and release the river lantern together." I've never let go of the river lanterns. ”
The woman in front of her was so familiar that Mu Ningxuan was very uncomfortable.
However, the straightforward nature of this girl named Xianxian is very fond of Mu Ningxuan.
The girl from Jinguo named Xianxian was so crazy that when she came back from the market, Mu Ningxuan was so tired that she fell asleep after lying in bed.
The next morning, Mu Ningxuan was woken up by the heat, and called Xiaofu softly, but no one answered, and faintly heard the sound of voices in the courtyard.
Mu Ningxuan listened carefully for a while, it turned out that Xiaofu caught a little spider a few days ago and put it in a small wooden box, just waiting for the next day of Qixi to open the box to see if the spider's web is round.
It is said that Xiaofu's female popularity is really a pit, embroidery, tailoring, embroidery, purse sachets are all not, the only thing that will be made is to make shoes with soles, but the shoes made by Xiaofu are also unsatisfactory, and she doesn't even wear them herself.
Yutang and Qiumo, who often joke that Xiaofu is "a young lady's body and a maid's life", will be disliked by her mother-in-law and husband in the future.
Therefore, as a hard-working and hard-working Xiaofu, she attaches great importance to the spider-woven web in this small wooden box.
But this morning, when Xiaofu opened the small wooden box, she found that the spider in the small wooden box was gone.
A little spider, how can he escape from the small wooden box by himself, someone must be playing a prank!
With the help of Yutang, Xiaofu finally found out the evil man - Donglin.
Xiaofu was angry, scolded Donglin for a while, scolded and scolded, and her mouth became dry, Xiaofu felt that the scolding was not happy, and went into the small kitchen to drink a glass of water, ready to continue fighting.
Taking advantage of Xiaofu's efforts to drink water, Yutang and Qiumo asked Donglin the reason for throwing the spider in Xiaofu's small wooden box.
Donglin blushed and sputtered, "I... I'm looking at that web... It's not round, just secretly... Got rid of it. ”
Mu Ningxuan in the house never thought that Donglin actually liked Xiaofu.
Among the three maids beside her, Yutang is the most clever and smart, Qiumo has the best appearance, and Xiaofu is actually the most ordinary one.
Although Xiaofu is ordinary, Mu Ningxuan is the most distressed by her, and she is the one who wants to make up for it the most.
Xiaofu is matched with Donglin, and Mu Ningxuan is only afraid that she will be wronged by Xiaofu.
Since Mu Ningxuan left the palace, she has been paying attention to finding a good family for Xiaofu.
First, the family background must be innocent, the second must have a simple population, and the third must be safe and smooth.
Donglin's martial arts are good, he looks good, and his age is the same as Xiaofu, so he can be regarded as a good match, but Donglin is the guard of the little prince, he has traveled south and north, and he has a lot of lives on his hands, not to mention the family background or anything, only peace and smoothness can not be satisfied.
But Xiaofu likes to like each other with Donglin, and in this life, Mu Ningxuan wants to marry Xiaofu early.

"County Lord, why didn't you call us when you woke up." Aunt Su walked to the door and saw that Mu Ningxuan had woken up, so she shouted into the courtyard: "Yutang, Qiumo, the county lord is awake, hurry in and serve." ”
Hearing Aunt Su's voice, Yutang and Qiu Mo hurriedly entered the house.
Now in Liu Jutang, the older generation only has Aunt Su and Mama Zou in the small kitchen, and Mama Zou only takes care of the small kitchen and doesn't care about the affairs in the hospital.
It is Aunt Su who is in charge of the affairs of the hospital, and Aunt Su was originally in charge of the palace maid in the palace of the Queen Mother, and she is good at the top and the bottom, so it is natural to manage this little Liu Jutang at the moment, and the maids also obey her, following the rules she said, everything in Liu Jutang is in order.
Yutang and Qiumo waited for Mu Ningxuan to finish freshening up, and Aunt Su asked the small kitchen to pass breakfast.
After breakfast, Mu Ningxuan was rinsing her mouth, but she saw that Aunt Su seemed to have something important to say, so she withdrew from the other maids and maids in the house.
Aunt Su opened her mouth and said two things.
First things first: the stock of "Treasure Incense" is running out.
The second thing: the shopkeeper of the capital's "treasure incense" resigned and returned to his hometown.
Regarding the first thing, the third sister's marriage is imminent, Mu Ningxuan wants to earn more silver taels and press the bottom of the box for the third sister.
So, taking advantage of the Qixi Festival, Zhenpin incense did not set an upper limit on the sale of incense on that day, and it was closed at night.
The amount of Tanabata alone is almost a month and a half higher than in the past, so it is no wonder that the number of incense sold has to be limited every day.
The Queen Mother is indeed wise, and the scarcity is expensive, if it is sold in this way according to the Tanabata Festival, the "treasure incense" will already be sold like Chinese cabbage.
After this Qixi Festival, I was supposed to go to the cellar to make incense two months later, but now Mu Ningxuan will start preparing to make incense again in the next two days.
As for the second thing, the shopkeeper Sun asked to resign and return to his hometown, and Mu Ningxuan directly decided to pick geese~
***
On this day, under the words of Princess Gaorou, Mu Ningxuan came to King Rong's Mansion in a carriage.
Mu Ningxuan slowly got out of the carriage, was supported by Yutang, and followed the housekeeper of Prince Rong's Mansion to enter from the main gate of Prince Rong's Mansion.
Mu Ningxuan is wearing a pink and green dress today, her makeup is light and lovely, when she saw the little prince, Mu Ningxuan saluted, and said: "Xuan'er asks my uncle for peace." ”
"......" The little prince's face suddenly darkened, and he almost turned his back on his anger, and hesitated: "What did you just call me?" ”
"Uncle." Mu Ningxuan stared at a pair of innocent big eyes and looked at the little prince with a wink.
Seeing that the little prince's face instantly fell, Mu Ningxuan explained slightly: "Princess Gaorou is my stepmother, and the little prince is the younger brother of Princess Gaorou, according to the seniority, I can't call you uncle~"
The little prince's face was gloomy, suppressing the unexplained anger in his heart, he looked at Mu Ningxuan and said in a deep voice: "What are you doing here to find this king?" ”
With a cold gaze, Mu Ningxuan couldn't help but shudder.
"It was the princess and my father who asked me to come over, the princess said that you saved me from the last Jin king, and I haven't officially thanked me yet, so today I specially asked me to thank my uncle in person, and invite my uncle to come to the Pingchang Marquis Mansion tomorrow to eat and drink." Mu Ningxuan breathed a long sigh of relief and finally finished speaking.
Mu Ningxuan didn't understand why Princess Gao Rou told Mu Hou Ye the truth of the matter afterwards, except for the fall from the cliff. Only then did Mu Hou Ye know that it was the little prince who saved Mu Ningxuan.
"It's been half a month, and you just remembered to thank this king and invite this king to dinner?" The little prince questioned.
In fact, Princess Gao Rou had already told Mu Ningxuan that she wanted to invite the little prince to dinner, but Mu Ningxuan made incense every day and was too busy, so the dinner to thank the little prince had been delayed.
It wasn't until yesterday that Mu Ningxuan finally made the three-month incense in advance.
Mu Ningxuan nodded at this time, and after having lunch with Mu Hou Ye and Princess Gao Rou, she personally went to Prince Rong's mansion to thank the little prince for saving his life, and invited the little prince to come over for dinner.
Seeing that the little prince had this question, Mu Ningxuan had already thought of the answer in the carriage.
"Recently, the family has been busy, so I have delayed, please forgive my uncle." Mu Ningxuan said respectfully.
"Please forgive me, uncle!" Mu Ningxuan saw that the little prince was silent, and said it again.
In so many contacts with the little prince, Mu Ningxuan knew that the little prince's temperament was uncertain, especially good when it was good, and disappeared directly when it was bad.
Princess Gao Rou has said so many times, if this time the thanksgiving wine is not touched by the little prince, Princess Gao Rou and Mu Hou Ye will probably be speechless to Mu Ningxuan, Mu Ningxuan doesn't want to lose this person, so Mu Ningxuan shouted at the little prince's uncle and uncle with a very respectful sign at the beginning.
The little prince said with a cold face: "Mu Ningxuan, you are not allowed to call this king's uncle, this king is not your uncle, if you are looking for your uncle, go home and find it, don't come to this king!" ”
Mu Ningxuan saw that the little prince was really angry, so she laughed and said, "Okay, I don't call your uncle is, little prince, don't forget to come to dinner at noon tomorrow." ”
"Got it." The little prince said lightly.
Mu Ningxuan saluted again, and said with a smile: "Since the little prince has agreed, then I will go back and wait for the little prince tomorrow." ”
The little prince nodded slightly: "Okay." "There was no expression on his face.
***
The eldest brother Mu Yuchen finally sent a letter from home, saying that the chaos had been calmed down and that he would return to Beijing in a few days.
Mu Ningxuan was not surprised, she knew about it two days ago. Since the day the eldest brother went to Zizhou, Mu Ningxuan secretly sent people to Zizhou to inquire about the news, and almost every two or three days, there would be news of the whip.
