Chapter 110: Thoughts
The three brothers and Liu Qianwei were happy in the backyard, while Fu Jingwu was forced to watch the store in the front shop.
Fu Jingwu also wanted to join the big family, but who made it his turn today, so he had to wait for it to get dark soon.
……
Qingyuan has been really happy these days.
On the one hand, the old guy consciously or unintentionally restrained her range of activities, causing her to go out and try to please him.
On the other hand, she already had a revenge plan, which was already underway, but the ghost knew that Liu Qianyu actually became the young lady of the General's Mansion in one fell swoop.
At first glance, Qing Yuan didn't believe it, but now......
Qing Yuan was so angry that she almost gritted her teeth.
The relationship between Liu Qianyu and Mu Xin is still unknown to many people in Kyoto, but Qingyuan has been paying attention to the movements of the Fu family, so she naturally knows.
Qing Yuan was furious, her delicate face was lost, what she thought of before was nothing more than to target the Fu family's shop, make a stumbling block, let the Fu family's shop close down, and let the Fu family tell Liu Qianyu to drink the northwest wind.
But now that Liu Qianyu is involved with Mu Xin, she has to reconsider.
Although the eighth prince has a noble status, after all, it is more of a false name of the royal family, and he does not have much advantage against the great general Mu Xin.
What's more, she is just the righteous daughter of the Xianwang Mansion, in case something really happens, Li Hongtao's old guy really won't necessarily choose to protect herself, she knows it too well.
can be mixed to the point where it is today, Qingyuan is naturally not a fuel-efficient lamp, although it may not be shrewd to the extreme, but it is not so stupid.
After thinking about it again, Qingyuan still decided that it was right to hold the little marquis earlier.
But it's impossible to let it go, no one can be safe after humiliating her.
Liu Qianyu didn't know that she found her mother by mistake and shocked a hidden danger in the dark.
……
The Fu family's shop business is becoming more and more popular, and it is undeniable that it has something to do with the name of the Yang family, but more importantly, the wooden utensils of the Fu family are indeed high-grade and novel.
If you are an ordinary person, even if you have good craftsmanship, you may not be able to establish yourself in Kyoto.
After all, Kyoto is full of classics and centuries-old people, and many families are in a competitive and cooperative relationship.
Suddenly a new one pops up, and everyone will definitely reject it.
But right now, you have to weigh yourself before doing things, otherwise you may be lost in your own hands for a hundred years.
In the past few days, the store has suddenly deserted a little, not really deserted, but compared to the crowding of the previous days, there are indeed many fewer customers.
After casually asking, I learned that it will be the Shangyuan Festival in a few days, and everyone is busy customizing clothes and lanterns, embroidering handkerchiefs and sachets.
Shangyuan Festival is a big day in the Eastern Chu Kingdom, which is not only a good day for marriage and matchmaking, but also a time for family reunion.
Young people pay attention to the marriage between men and women, and the elders pay attention to the marriage of their children and pray for peace and happiness.
In short, such a day is naturally a lively day, as for why this year is a little hotter than in previous years, this has to be traced to the country.
The neighboring state of Nanzhao and the state of Eastern Chu have been in diplomatic relations for almost ten years, and it is determined that an envoy will be sent every five years to carry out diplomatic relations.
This year just coincided with the first time in the Dongchu State Diplomatic Relations, so naturally it was attached great importance from top to bottom.
This year's diplomatic relations are the tenth year of the truce between Eastern Chu and Southern Zhao, and both countries attach great importance to it, especially Eastern Chu, which belongs to the side of the host country.
Every diplomatic relationship is a heavy task, and whether to continue the truce or resume the war depends on the period of time.
On this day, Liu Qianwan made some pastries, planning to bring Liu Jingwan to taste.
Although Liu Qianyu didn't go to the General's Mansion very often, under Mu Xin's arrangement, everyone in the General's Mansion knew about Liu Qianyu's existence, so when Liu Qianyu went, the attitude of the subordinates was very respectful.
When Liu Qianyu arrived, Liu Jingwan's personal maid Xiaomei was also there, and she couldn't help but show a happy expression on her face when she saw Liu Qianwan.
Xiaomei followed Liu Jingwan's side, and the number of times she saw Liu Qianyu was naturally more, because of Liu Qianwan's temperament, she still liked this eldest lady very much in her heart.
"Mother......
Liu Qianyu called softly, put the pastries she brought on the table, and obviously pleased: "Mother, try it, I made it new." ”
Liu Jingwan nodded, chuckled and said, "I told Shiqin and them when I came!" ”
Hearing this, Liu Qianyu replied helplessly: "I've said it, I've said it, mother~~ Can't you not worry so much." ”
Seeing this, Xiaomei, who was waiting, couldn't help but laugh.
Liu Jingwan's face was slightly red: "It's all married, I, I naturally ......"
Liu Qianwei said with a jealous and awkward look: "Sure enough, the more my mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, the more I like it, sooner or later, my daughter will have no status......"
Liu Qianyu sighed faintly, it was quite like that, provided that she ignored the smile in her eyes.
Liu Jingwan was so blocked by Liu Qianwan's ridiculous words that she didn't know what to say.
In fact, Liu Jingwan has a really good impression of the brothers of the Fu family, and she is satisfied every time she goes back, and she probably responds to the sentence 'Mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, the more she looks at it, the more satisfied she becomes'.
Seeing her mother's resentful eyes, Liu Qianyu laughed and said, "Okay, mother, I won't tease you......"
Liu Jingwan sighed quietly when she heard this, her daughter is always so clever.
"You better try the pastries I made, I made them for you, it's delicious......", Liu Qianyu coquettishly urged Liu Jingwan.
Liu Jingwan smiled helplessly and nodded.
The mother and daughter chatted about family life while eating, and when it came to the Shangyuan Festival, Liu Jingwan suddenly remembered what Mu Xin had discussed with her a few days ago.
Seeing Liu Jingwan's paused, Liu Qianyu was puzzled: "...... Mother, what's wrong? ”
Liu Jingwan was clear, and hesitated slightly at Liu Qianyu's inquiring eyes, and then said slowly: "...... You Mu ...... Uncle plans to take you to the palace banquet of the Shangyuan Festival, and he will just give you an identity at that time......"
Liu Jingwan was very entangled in this matter.
On the one hand, she wanted Qianyu to go, but on the other hand, she didn't want to, the palace banquet was too complicated, and she was afraid that Qianyu would not be able to cope with it, but the palace banquet was a good occasion to let people in Kyoto know the relationship between Qianyu and Mu Xin.
So......
When Liu Qianyu heard this, there was a tangle in her eyes, "I'll go?" …… Is it appropriate? ”
In her heart, she didn't want to participate in any palace banquets, and as Mu Xin, she naturally knew that this was not a tea party held by an ordinary aristocratic lady, let alone a palace banquet to catch up with diplomatic relations.
Liu Qianyu sighed faintly when she heard this.
Seeing Liu Qianwei's expression, Liu Jingwan knew in her heart, in fact, her own daughter, what kind of personality she had was naturally very clear.
That's it, and it doesn't have to be this way.
Liu Jingwan was just about to speak, Xiaomei whispered on the side: "It's good if Miss goes, Madame won't ......" Before she finished speaking, she paused.
Realizing what she said that she shouldn't have said, Xiaomei looked annoyed, and secretly scolded herself for having more good days, and she always couldn't control her mouth.
Liu Jingwan's eyes flickered, and she glanced at Xiaomei helplessly, but she didn't say anything to blame, after all, Xiaomei was also protecting her.
Liu Qianwei was keen-minded, and from the performance of Liu Jingwan and Xiaomei, she knew that her mother must be hiding something, and subconsciously asked: "Mother, are you hiding something from me?!" ”
Liu Jingwan's eyes were empty, she lowered her head with a handkerchief, and said in a low voice: "No, no, it's nothing......"
The obvious lack of confidence made Liu Qianwan even more sure that Liu Jingwan must be hiding something from herself.
Liu Qianyu: "Mother, if you don't even tell you, who else can you tell, I'm your daughter......"
Liu Jingwan was entangled for a while, and in the end, Xiaomei couldn't stand it, so she told some aristocratic ladies and women in Kyoto about Liu Jingwan.
Liu Qianyu was angry when she heard this, and you reacted to why Uncle Mu didn't protect her mother, but she quickly calmed down.
Uncle Mu can't be blamed for this, after all, with his identity, he can't stop a woman's restless heart by all precautions, as long as a woman is jealous, she can make small moves at any time.
Liu Qianyu suddenly felt a little sorry for her mother, thinking that she didn't know how many little stumbling blocks she had been made by those jealous women in these days when she was alone in Kyoto.
"Girl, it's not as serious as you think......" Liu Jingwan softly comforted Liu Qianyu.
Liu Qianyu couldn't help but sigh when she heard Liu Jingwan's comforting words, she knew too well what kind of character her mother was, like a little sheep, if she didn't go out alone, she would be eaten and wiped clean by a vicious wolf.
The mother and daughter were not talking about these unpleasant things, but Liu Qianyu's heart was a little shaken about participating in the palace banquet.
She didn't want to quickly correct her identity, she just wanted to accompany her mother, not to say that she could deal with it easily, but she would not be so silently allowed to be bullied by others.
I'm afraid that my mother doesn't even know how to resist.
Although she had the idea of going in her heart, Liu Qianwan was not impulsive enough to tell Liu Jingwan that she was going, and she planned to go back and discuss with a few people in the family, so that they could know.
Liu Qianyu did not stay in the General's Mansion to eat, and went home after saying goodbye to Liu Jingwan.
Not long after Liu Qianyu left, Mu Xin also returned, and learned through the mouth of the subordinate that Liu Qianyu came to visit Liu Jingwan.
When Mu Xin went to see Liu Jingwan, Liu Jingwan was talking to Xiaomei.
Seeing the general coming, Xiaomei consciously retreated.
"Why did you come back so early today?"
Liu Jingwan looked at Mu Xin suspiciously, usually it was almost time to eat, and there was still a period of time before eating today.
Mu Xin saw Liu Jingwan's smiling face, and his heart couldn't suppress the sweetness.
Ever since Liu Jingwan really agreed to be with him, he felt that he was getting more and more clingy.
If he had seen a big man so obsessed with the backyard in the past, he would have disdained to say, 'Girls chirp, not like a man'.
But for now......
"There is nothing to do in the barracks today, so I want to come back early, and I met an old man with pear blossoms on the way, so I bought some ...... by the way."
Mu Xin said, took out an oilcloth bag from his arms, and handed it to Liu Jingwan when the oilcloth bag was still warm.
Liu Jingwan lowered her head and took it: "Thank you, General......"
The soft voice soothed Mu Xin's apprehension, and even the words that seemed alienated still made him feel sweet.
Liu Jingwan wanted to say something else, but she was really not a character who liked to cater to flattery, so she naturally said what she thought of, but after speaking, she was worried that her cold response would make men unhappy.
Yu Guang caught a glimpse of the corners of the man's raised mouth, and Liu Jingwan was relieved.
