Chapter 249: Ribbon Cutting
What's the problem?
Bailichen doesn't believe that a person will be reborn overnight, there must be something wrong in the middle, isn't the current Mu Qing the previous Mu Qing?
It's impossible, if it's really a different person, it's impossible for the Mu family not to notice it.
Mu Qing's disguise technique was very wonderful, and Bai Lichen suddenly thought that the Mu Qing in front of him was not disguised.
Thinking about it, I think it's unlikely, no matter how clever the disguise technique is, it will reveal flaws after a long time of contact.
"Lord Wang......" Danqing called at the door.
"Come in." Bai Lichen rubbed his eyebrows, a little headache.
Danqing entered the study, lowered his head and asked Bai Lichen: "Niangniang asked you if you want to go over for dinner." ”
"Danqing, what if you find out that the person you think you know well is not actually what you know?"
Bai Lichen didn't know how to describe the feeling Mu Qing gave him, so when he asked Danqing, he didn't know how to express his words for a while.
Say she's changed?
It doesn't seem like she's been like that, she's always been like that.
Saying that she was a stranger was not, he could clearly feel that nothing had changed between them.
When Danqing heard this question, the first thing that came to mind was Mu Qing, and he felt that what Bai Lichen said must be Mu Qing.
Danqing thought of this, so he could only reply thoughtfully:
"I think it's normal, just like when I look at the prince, I feel that the prince is terrible and indifferent, but the mother has never been afraid of the prince, and I don't think the prince is indifferent.
It's just ...... It's just that the side that is shown to everyone is different. ”
Anyone who was involved in Mu Qing, Danqing was cautious, for fear of upsetting these two masters, and at this time, he even wanted to break his head for them to come up with these words.
Bai Lichen listened to Danqing's words and suddenly became enlightened, yes, it's just that the side shown to everyone is different.
In the past, in the Mu family, Mu Qing wanted to live by looking at Liu's face, so he naturally had to be low and small everywhere.
The current situation is different from before, and the nature that is shown is also different.
Danqing watched Bai Lichen's face change back and forth, and his heart was also raised up and down, for fear that this master would be unhappy.
"Let's go down." Bai Lichen waved his hand in a good mood.
Danqing's heart finally fell back into his stomach and hurried out of the study.
Mu Qing didn't know what she was suspecting, and she was paying attention to the movements in Kyochu during this time.
The poems she made that day were praised by everyone in Beijing during this time, and the Wise Bookstore was once again pushed in front of everyone, and everyone in Beijing knew about the Wise Bookstore.
Of course, it is a good thing for Mu Qing, and after reading books, Mu Qing pondered about the opening.
When the bookstore opened, it was natural to invite a literati to cut the ribbon, and after thinking about it, Mu Qing only thought of Cheng Daru.
No matter what his grandson looks like, anyway, Mu Qing admires his literary talent very much, and even Bai Lichen is full of praise for him.
"But let me invite Cheng Daru, my heart is very empty......"
Mu Qing is not very happy to go, she indirectly killed someone's grandson, how to face others?
Bai Lichen held her hand and whispered to persuade her:
"That matter has nothing to do with you, so let's go and see if you can invite Cheng Daru, if you can't, it doesn't matter."
He vaguely felt that Mu Qing minded the incident very much, and it almost became a knot in her heart.
How can it go on like this, Bailichen naturally won't watch things develop like this.
Mu Qing still resisted a little, but with a pair of encouraging glances from hundreds of miles, she couldn't resist ruthlessly:
"That'...... So I'm going to try? ”
Bai Lichen nodded, and quickly asked the housekeeper to prepare a gift.
The next day, Mu Qing stood in Cheng Mansion half-pushed and half-pushed, looking at the two words Cheng Fu on the plaque, Mu Qing gritted his teeth and stepped forward to show his intention.
Just like Bailichen said, just try, you can be the best, and it doesn't matter if you can't.
With such a mentality to comfort himself, Mu Qing followed his subordinates all the way into the study.
Cheng Daru had gray hair, but he was in good spirits, and when he saw Mu Qing, he stepped forward to salute.
"Hurry up, please!" Mu Qing helped Cheng Daru up and asked him to sit down.
"I don't know what the princess is looking for?" Cheng Daru was respectful.
Mu Qing laughed twice, and then he considered his mouth: "I have a wise bookstore, Cheng Daru doesn't know if he has heard of it?" ”
Cheng Daru touched his beard and nodded with a smile: "I've heard that Niangniang is a good person, and this move has benefited many scholars, and I admire Niangniang's righteousness very much." ”
"I can't call it unlikely!" Mu Qing originally had an ulterior purpose, but he couldn't stand being praised by Cheng Daru at this time.
Cheng Daru smiled and stopped talking.
With Cheng Daru's smile, Mu Qing always felt that he was thinking something, and the old man in front of him knew it.
Mu Qing didn't squirm at this time, and directly said the purpose of his trip:
"Wise Bookstore will open in three days, I want to ask Cheng Daru to cut the ribbon, I don't know if Cheng Daru is willing."
"It's my pleasure." Cheng Daru responded with a smile.
Mu Qing breathed a sigh of relief, being able to invite this big guy would definitely make the reputation of Wise Bookstore better.
The two agreed, Mu Qing got up to say goodbye, and when he left, he couldn't hold back and persuaded him:
"I hope Cheng Daru won't be too sad about the matter of the other grandson, the deceased has passed away."
Cheng Daru was stunned for a moment, then bowed down and responded: "Thank you Niangniang for your concern, the minister has already put it down." ”
When his grandson died, Cheng Daru knew about the bastard things his grandson had done, he was so angry that no matter how sad he was, he was gone.
Mu Qing didn't know about it, and seeing that Cheng Daru really wanted to open it, he was also relieved in his heart.
Bai Lichen was waiting for her outside, and when she came out with a smile on her face, she knew that this matter should be fine.
"Cheng Daru is quite good."
Although Mu Qing doesn't have much contact with Cheng Daru, she feels very good, and getting along with him is like a spring breeze.
Bai Lichen rubbed the top of her head: "Who was worried about it before going?" ”
Mu Qing pursed his lips and stopped talking.
"Cheng Daru came to cut the ribbon, I believe that more students will respect and recognize your wise bookstore at that time."
Bai Lichen was also happy for Mu Qing in his heart, this was just her first step, and he was looking forward to his performance.
Mu Qing also thinks so, as long as they respect and recognize the Wise Bookstore, after her paper is made, more people can launch it as soon as possible.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was feasible, and Mu Qing ran to see the soaked tender bamboo as soon as he returned to the palace.
Calculate the time, and wait for the next step after the marriage of the Jade Princess, and it will be winter at that time.
Pulling Bailichen, Mu Qingzheng was thinking about whether to eat something delicious to celebrate, and he heard Xin'er say that the Mu family sent an invitation.
Probably speaking, Mu Wan is about to get married, so she invited the lady she knew to come over and talk.
Mu Qing didn't want to go, but he just told her that there was a good show to watch!
"Go?" Bai Lichen had a smile in his eyes and said in a low voice, "It looks good." ”
Mu Qing immediately looked at him and asked, "Say!" Do you know something? ”
There must be something else hidden in this, otherwise how could Bai Lichen say such a thing, he didn't know that she didn't like the Mu family.
"I don't know." Bai Lichen turned his head to read the book.
Mu Qing was curious, pulled Bai Lichen's sleeve and shook it, and begged softly:
"Tell me, tell me, I'd love to know!"
Bai Lichen was unmoved and continued to read.
Mu Qing pursed his lips and threw off his sleeves: "Don't say it!" ”
Bai Lichen saw that she was angry, so he could only coax her softly:
"It's not fun to know this kind of thing, it's better to have a sense of mystery, right? If you tell you, you're going to find it boring. ”
Mu Qing felt that this made sense, but she was really curious: "Then aren't you afraid that they will calculate me and make me suffer?" ”
The Liu family and Mu Wan didn't have a good heart towards her, especially Mu Wan, after the incident of King Gong's son, I am afraid that they hate her even more.
"Our Qing'er is so smart, can we suffer?" Bai Lichen asked rhetorically.
Everyone likes good words, and Mu Qing is no exception, listening to Bai Lichen's words, Mu Qing is no longer angry.
Three days after the Mu family's banquet, Mu Qing went happily, and Bai Lichen sent her to the door and told her a few words before letting her in.
Mu Wan saw that Mu Qing really didn't have a good face, and Mu Qing didn't mind, anyway, this could be regarded as her maiden family.
There was no need for Mu Wan to say hello, Mu Qing had already found a place to sit down and asked someone to pour tea for her.
Mu Wan was angry, but when she thought of what would happen later, she also suppressed the anger in her heart.
Forget it, when she becomes the princess, there will be more opportunities to meet in the future, and it will be a while and a half, and she still has something to do today.
"Qing'er!" As soon as Dong Shu'er came, she saw Mu Qing and hurriedly ran over.
"Shu'er!" Mu Qing hurriedly pulled her to sit down, "Why are you here?" ”
This kind of banquet Dong Shuer can't look down on.
"I heard that you will also come, so I came, I originally wanted to go to the Zhongzhou Mansion to talk to you,
But my mother said that the prince was injured, you must be too busy, where is the time to entertain me, if you don't let me go, I can only come here to find you! ”
Dong Shu'er said and lowered her voice and asked her, "How is the paper you made?" I'd like to check it out. ”
After all, she also made a contribution, and Dong Shu'er couldn't be happier at the thought of using the paper she made.
Mu Qing is also looking forward to it, and he is very excited when he mentions this:
"It's still soaking, don't worry, I'll definitely ask you and Bailihong to come over to work when the time comes! You can try your hand at papermaking when you go back! ”
Dong Shu'er heard Bai Lihong's name a little unnatural, but quickly adjusted:
"Forget it, I still don't want to huo those bamboos before I make them, in case it doesn't work, I'm afraid my father and mother will chase me and fight!"
Mu Qing laughed, and was about to test Dong Shu'er's meaning to Bai Lihong, when Tang Yu walked over.
Tang Yu was much haggard compared to before, and the blue and black under her eyes were very obvious, Mu Qing only thought of four words when she came over: weak willow and wind.
It was really weak, Mu Qing was afraid that a gust of wind would blow, so he blew her down.
"Cousin." Tang Yu stepped forward and saluted obediently.
Mu Qing nodded and excused him, and was about to continue talking to Dong Shu'er, but saw Tang Yu suddenly kneel down:
"Cousin, please, save me!"
