Returning to the inn with a full harvest, Mu Ziqi pointed to the empty mule cart and said to Xiao Qi: "Let's buy some more food tomorrow, fill the cart and set off." ”

Under Mu Ziqi's instructions, Ah Mo took out a bag of money and handed it to the second child of the Wang family.

"Wang Er, along the way, your performance is good, this money is rewarded by our second son of Mu, and you will send it to the catchers, and then you take everyone to walk around the street, and by the way, inquire about the news about food."

Wang Er took the money bag, "Don't worry, don't worry, don't worry, Deputy Liu, we will definitely do a good job." ”

Soon, Wang Er gave ten big money to each of the hunters.

Xiao Ming pulled Wang Er's sleeve and said, "Brother, why don't you give us a few money?" What about my little brothers looking at you with tears in their eyes? ”

Wang Er frowned, "This money was given to the catchers by Mu Xiaogongzi, and our deputy catcher didn't approve you to do fast catchers - did you forget?" When the thieves come in the evening, your men will immediately run away without a shadow. ”

When Xiao Ming heard Wang Er's words, his face immediately turned red like boiled shrimp, these little brothers followed Deputy Liu to eat and drink well, and they were scared away when it was time to use people, and they really shouldn't have paid money.

Wang Er pinched the money bag and found that there was still some money left in it, so he gave each of Xiao Ming's little brothers two pennies: "Brothers, you are still in the observation period, you must behave well, and strive to satisfy Deputy Liu's head catcher as soon as possible." ”

……

In the afternoon, Jiangyuan, the prefect of Jinling, brought people to the inn with a lot of gift boxes.

At this time, Xiao Qi and Mu Zichen were discussing the matter of buying food tomorrow, and Xiao Er led Jiang Zhifu directly to Mu Ziqi's room.

"It's Gangwon, the prefect of Gangneung, I'm sorry, when Mu Gongzi came to Yamen in the morning, I was outside to deal with some urgent matters."

Mu Ziqi had a faint expression on his face: "Governor Jiang is polite." ”

Governor Jiang smiled and asked his subordinates to send a beautiful box in.

"I found a gadget and gave it to Mu Gongzi to play, I will punish those lost soldiers, I hope Mu Gongzi will not spread this matter, so as not to have a bad impact."

Mu Ziqi didn't answer anything, and Jiang Zhifu asked his subordinates to put the box on the table next to the bed.

Seeing that Mu Zishan didn't care, Governor Jiang didn't mind, and was still smiling.

"Mu Gongzi came from afar, I must do my best to be a landlord - in the evening, I invite Mu Gongzi to go to the Qinhuai River to enjoy the moon."

Xiao Qi heard the bank of the Qinhuai River and was a little yearning.

Seeing that Mu Zichen was still expressionless, Governor Jiang smiled and said, "Then it's decided, wait a little later, I'll send someone to pick up Mu Gongzi." ”

Jiang Yuan walked out of the inn with his hands behind his back, and Wu Gui followed behind Jiang Yuan with a big belly.

Wu Gui: "This kid is too ignorant, and he even ignores Lord Jiang." “

Jiang Yuan smiled: "It's best to deal with people like this who are happy or unhappy all on their faces, and it's much easier to deal with than those fake smiling tigers." ”

"Master Jiang is well-informed."

……

In the house, Xiao Qi and Ah Mo opened the box and saw a glossy bead in the box, the size of a baby's fist.

Xiao Qi picked up the beads and couldn't help but praise: "This bead is cool in your hand, and it feels good to the touch, I don't know what material it is made of?" ”

Ah Mo touched the beads carefully, "It feels really good, young master, you can also touch it." ”

Mu Ziqi: "You two are really ignorant, this is the pearl of the night." ”

"What, the Night Pearl looks like this?" Xiao Qi was very surprised, and hurriedly put the beads back in the box.

Xiao Qi had only seen the Night Pearl in books before, and he felt that the Night Pearl was as ethereal as a myth and legend, but he didn't expect to see it today.

Mu Ziqi snorted, "There is no cheap in the world, Jiang Yuan is afraid that we will spread the news that the officers and soldiers are acting as robbers, so he wants to gag us, and I will return the Night Pearl to the Jiang Governor's Mansion at night." ”

Xiao Qi smiled, "Why don't you pay it back tomorrow, give it to me tonight, I'll put it on the bedside, and when it's dark, I can know how bright the night pearl is." ”

……

Before dinner, the Jiang prefect sent a carriage to invite Mu Zichen to be a guest, and Xiao Qi followed Mu Zichen and climbed into the carriage after explaining to the Wang brothers.

The car stopped after about half an hour, and Mu Ziqi and a few people stepped on a small stool to get out of the carriage, and they were immediately attracted by the beautiful scenery in front of them.

Today is the sixteenth day of the lunar month, the moon is particularly round, especially poetic in the water, the four corners of the riverside pavilion are lit with lanterns, and several scholars are chanting poems to wine.

In the Qinhuai River, several colorful boats line on it, the lights are bright, and the sound of silk and bamboo and the chanting of women compete to reach the shore.

The prefect's boat was two-tiered, and both floors were covered with red lanterns, and it was already parked on the shore and waiting.

Seeing Mu Ziqi and a few people coming over, Governor Jiang immediately stepped off the boat to greet him.

Mu Ziqi walked in front, walking in a rather chic posture, Xiao Qi and Ah Mo followed him and got on the boat.

Governor Jiang led Mu Ziqi to the table and sat down.

"I prepared a fine wine Jinlingchun for Mu Gongzi that is hard to buy, and I won't get drunk today."

When the maid picked up Jin Lingchun and was about to open it, Xiao Qi stopped her, "Put it here, wait for me to open it, please let this sister help us get a pot of ordinary wine." ”

Xiao Qi hid the wine with Jin Lingchun under the table, and whispered to Ah Mo: "When we get off the boat, we will find a way to bring the wine back, the prefect said that this wine is difficult to buy, and it should be able to exchange for a lot of silver." ”

Ah Mo cocked his thumb, "Little Seventh Girl is so smart, tomorrow we will sell this wine, and we can buy a lot of food." ”

Slender maids shuttled through it, and soon the table was filled with dishes.

Xiao Qi sat down at the table generously and ate it.

Jiang Zhifu was a little puzzled, this is the grandson of the eldest princess of Yuhua, the maid he brought sat directly at the same table with the master to eat, she really didn't understand the rules.

Speaking of which, it's no wonder that the prefect looked away, Xiao Qi looked like he was about ten years old, wearing an ordinary gray cloth shirt, this kind of clothes was nothing special, and it was all over the street.

The prefect was very generous and prepared a lot of dishes.

All kinds of delicacies from the mountains and seas were sent over, and each plate was very sufficient, although Xiao Qi's meal was very large, and there were still a lot of leftovers on the table.

After eating, Xiao Qi wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief and asked Mu Ziqi: "Is Mu Ergongzi full?" ”

Seeing Mu Ziqi nodding, Xiao Qi smiled and said to the maid on the side: "Please ask my sister to help us bring an empty food box, the bigger one." ”

Soon, the beautiful maid brought the food box.

Xiao Qi immediately stood up and took the food box, and together with Ah Mo, he put all the leftover dishes on the table into the food box, and Jinling Chun wine naturally put it in.

Jiang Zhifu was even more shocked at this time, the first time he saw the children of the official family packing after eating, if it weren't for the fact that the son in front of him looked very much like the eldest princess, he really had to suspect that these people were fake.

After Xiao Qi and Ah Mo put the food box in place, the song and dance will be played.

There were a total of seven women who came up and danced, and the woman in the middle stood out like a chicken, which was very eye-catching.

She wore a flying bun and a veil on her face, and she was graceful and richly dressed, wearing a peach-colored bandeau and a long skirt covered with a layer of smoky tulle.
