"He's out of the palace? When? Mu Qing frowned.

The Jade Princess stopped, a little strange: "Two quarters of an hour ago." ”

Mu Qing was a little speechless, so they missed it?

"Last night, His Royal Highness didn't return overnight, but what happened in the palace?" Mu Qing still decided to care about Bai Lichen.

After all, she still wants to inherit the inheritance, but don't let Bailichen offend people by then, so that she can't get anything, then she won't lose a lot of money!

Princess Jade didn't care much about these, but after all, she was in the palace and she was a princess, so she heard about it some, so she told Mu Qing to hear it.

"Yesterday, the prince's brother came to the fold, saying that the silver was not enough, and he wanted his father to allocate some more......"

This time in the snow disaster in Yuezhou, the emperor allocated more than 100,000 taels of silver to the prince.

Of course, this money is not only for disaster relief in Yuezhou, but also for the surrounding states in Yuezhou.

This money, it's not too much, it's not too little, it's almost this amount in previous years.

So as soon as the excerpt of the prince crying poor arrived yesterday, the emperor announced that the six ministers and several ministers entered the palace to discuss, and Bailichen was naturally among them.

The prince also wanted silver, and more than half of them were against it.

Among them, the Ministry of Industry is the most opposed, followed by Mu Qing's father, Mu Chenghai, the head of the household department, who jumped the highest.

The Ministry of Industry said that there was no money for the prince to repair several water conservancy projects after the year, and Mu Chenghai agreed very much.

It's not that he doesn't want to take money, it's that the treasury is empty and there is really no money!

Do you want to give money to the Ministry of Industry after giving it to the prince after the year? Repairing the water conservancy is a big deal.

Other people also have similar ideas, there was a snow disaster in previous years, and others and the prince took the same amount of money, didn't they also provide disaster relief?

In the hands of the prince, it can't be done?

So someone proposed to change someone to go to disaster relief, of course, this was angry, but the prince's people took it seriously, and immediately quarreled with these people!

are all people who have been in the court for so many years, and no one has ever had a verbal war, of course, no one will let anyone.

Bailichen's attitude is neutral, so in the end, the quarrel almost broke out and there was no result.

The emperor was tired, so he simply told them to disperse, and looked at it to add blockage to his heart!

After hearing this, Mu Qing felt that something was wrong, the court gave hundreds of thousands of silver for disaster relief, why did the prince cry poor?

Princess Jade saw Mu Qing's doubts and explained: "Brother Prince has never done this kind of thing before, so it is estimated that he spent a bit of money. ”

Disaster relief is not a good errand, and if it weren't for the fact that the prince was not able to brush up his favorability in front of the emperor, he probably wouldn't have taken the initiative to talk about disaster relief.

I didn't think it before, but now that I want to come to Mu Qing, I always feel that the prince is a bit weird to go to disaster relief.

"Third Imperial Sister-in-law, what's wrong with you? Seeing that your face is not very good, do you want to ask a doctor to take a look? ”

Seeing Mu Qing's face change, Princess Jade thought she was sick.

"No need!" Mu Qing hurriedly grabbed the jade princess who was about to call the imperial doctor, and the smile on her face was a little reluctant,

"Jade Princess, I'm just a little uncomfortable, I guess I have a bad stomach after eating breakfast."

Mu Qing dealt with the Jade Princess and soon left the palace.

Back at the Three Princes' Mansion, Mu Qing went back to her room, she really couldn't think of anything wrong, but she trusted her instincts.

Do you want to tell Bailichen?

Mu Qing instantly thought of Bailichen's deception to her yesterday, forget it, don't bother to say, people may not appreciate it.

Mu Qing looked in the direction of the main courtyard, feeling a little depressed.

"Let's go! Out! The more Mu Qing thought about it, the more angry he became, and he went out with his heart.

Bai Lichen was very busy at this time, and he didn't notice Mu Qing at all.

Mu Qing went directly to the hot pot restaurant, the store had only been open for a few days, so he just went to have a look.

After all, this hot pot restaurant has made her a lot of money, and it has also set off a trend of eating hot pot in Beijing!

"Get out of the way!" Someone came with a horse, and when Mu Qing heard the voice, she turned around and saw a horse coming straight for her.

Mu Qing couldn't dodge a little, and her heart was about to jump out, and a pair of big hands grabbed Mu Qing's hand and pulled her to her side.

The horse galloped past, Mu Qing looked at the messy appearance of the people and was angry, but he still endured it, turned his head and thanked the middle-aged man.

"Thank you uncle for saving me, I am grateful!" Mu Qing's attitude towards the life-saving benefactor is naturally very good.

Before the man could speak, a surprised voice came from his ears: "Cousin Qing!" ”

Mu Qing looked back and saw that the young man was the last word.

"Master!" The middle-aged man stepped forward and saluted and stood behind Wan Yan.

Mu Qing suddenly smiled and said, "It turns out that it was Cousin Yan who saved me!" ”

Although their cousins have only met a few times, the title is set by the late master, so it sounds closer to the name, and Mu Qing naturally has no opinion.

"Why, but I pulled you, why are you here? You should bring more people with you, I'm afraid that a maid won't be able to protect you, so it's best to bring two guards in the future. ”

Wan Yan looked at the same weak heart behind her and sighed.

Two weak female streams, I'm afraid that if something happens, I know that they will be slaughtered by others.

Mu Qing thought about going out in the future, followed by a string of people who couldn't help but tremble, and hurriedly said, "It's not that serious!" ”

Wan Yan still wanted to talk about it, but Mu Qing changed the topic: "By the way, cousin Yan, why are you here?" Aren't you going to go to class in Guozijian? ”

"Rest today." Wan Yan said and pointed behind him, "The caravan has arrived in Beijing today, I'll come and take a look." ”

Caravan?

Mu Qing's eyes lit up, the ancient caravans were profitable, and they should be able to make a lot of money after a trip.

"Can I take a look?" Mu Qing was very interested.

Wanyan nodded and took Mu Qing over to look.

The caravan was crowded, and by this time half of the people had gone to repair, and the rest were sorting out the goods.

Mu Qing noticed that these people were tall and dark-skinned, and they belonged to the kind that didn't look easy to mess with.

"Cousin Yan, isn't it dangerous to take this kind of caravan?"

Mu Qing thought of the textbooks he had studied before, and they all said that those who do this kind of business are making money with their lives.

In ancient times, transportation was not developed, all relied on these livestock, and as for the protection of goods, it was all up to people, but the road was long, who knows what kind of accidents can be?

Wan Yan nodded and said in a low voice: "We have been doing caravans for decades, and now there will be a situation where we can't come back, even more so for others, the part of the Western Regions we walked in is more dangerous over there, and it will be over if we encounter a storm or something." ”

Storms are something that will be frightening to future generations, not to mention this backward era.

When encountering a storm, it is certain death, even if you barely survive, it is not easy to come out of it without one to lead you.

Mu Qing's mind about wanting to make a caravan was a little lighter, and he asked casually: "Then does your caravan only go to the Western Regions?" ”

"How is it possible, there are many in the territory, but the territory is not so dangerous, it is nothing more than encountering mountain bandits and the like, this is nothing."

Wanyan didn't pay much attention to it, and the caravan in the territory could basically ignore the danger to them.

Mu Qing looked at these high-headed horses, and it was obvious that the man who practiced the family knew it in his heart.

It is probably a fool's dream for ordinary mountain bandits to snatch things from these people, unless they are calculated by the enemy.

Mu Qing rubbed his hands, a little excited: "Cousin Yan, I also want to be a caravan!" ”

The Western Regions definitely can't, but the domestic ones should be considered, right?

"Huh?" Wanyan didn't react for a while.

"I mean, can I take a stake if I want to? Domestic! Mu Qing thought about it for a while, but still didn't mention the Western Regions.

Making money in the Western Regions is making money, but if the caravan can't come back, it will be more than worth the loss, so it's better to think about it in this way.

At least it's safer, and of course there's another reason – she doesn't have much money!

Wanyan was a little different, and subconsciously asked, "Cousin Qing, are you very short of money?" ”

married to Bai Lichen, that's the prince, there shouldn't be a shortage of her money, right?

"Missing!" Mu Qing nodded seriously, "Who would be afraid of too much money!" ”

She doesn't have any extra money at all now, and she's too poor to be poor.

Wan Yan glanced at Mu Qing with a strange look in his eyes, and said with a smile:

"The caravan of the late family is not allowed to be shared, but if you are cousin Qing, I can go home and ask my grandfather, this matter is not up to me alone, and now it is my grandfather who is in charge of the family."

The implication is that I can't promise you.

Mu Qing didn't care, and nodded happily.

Wanyan saw that the time was not early, and said softly: "Cousin Qing, do you want to go to dinner?" I'll ask you. ”

Mu Qing nodded, followed Wanyan to the restaurant, and the two of them had dinner and talked about business.

Wan Yan sensitively found that this little cousin of his seemed to like money very much? Love to make money?

The two of them said that it was almost dark, so they went home, and when they said that there was something to do, they called someone to drive the carriage to send Muqing back home.

As soon as Mu Qing got out of the carriage, he noticed a person standing at the gate of the mansion......

In the dim light, I couldn't see it very clearly, but Mu Qing recognized it at a glance, isn't this Bailichen?

Mu Qing pursed his lips, panicked in his heart, and wanted to go back to the courtyard directly.

"Where have you been today?" Bai Lichen's face was a little ugly, his voice was indifferent, and he was angry when he listened carefully.

Mu Qing rolled his eyes: "You care about me!" ”

Bai Lichen's face was even more ugly, and he grabbed Mu Qing, who wanted to leave:

"You remember your identity, and when people see you staying with a strange man for so long, what will the people in Beijing say about you!"

"You're stalking me?" The anger in Mu Qing's heart rose suddenly.

She is not anyone's private property, what do you have to do under other people's eyes?

"Do you need me to follow you? All the gossip has come to me! Bai Lichen felt even worse when he thought of this.

The affairs of the court have already made him feel bad, but he didn't expect to hear this kind of news just after he was busy, and no one would be in a bad mood.

Mu Qing snorted coldly and asked rhetorically: "That's my cousin, and it's not an outsider, others don't know, you don't know yet?" ”

If the family eats a meal, is it difficult to provoke anyone?

"Neither can my cousin!" Bai Lichen's anger did not dissipate at all, but was on the verge of exploding.

Mu Qing looked at the man in front of him and only felt speechless:

"Neither can a family? Please, I'm married to you, not sold to you, what's wrong with me eating with my relatives? ”

"What's wrong? Tomorrow in Jingzhong will be able to spread how your cousins are affectionate! ”
