Chapter 43 Shi Ze came to visit with his son
Speaking of Liu Qingxin, even Mu Changzuo, the prince of Qianguo, was here, and he was embarrassed, so he asked for it again.
After all, I have a request for others, and I have given it once before.
It was because he was careless, he didn't teach the children in the family a good lesson, and ruined the kindness of others.
"Then thank you Princess."
Mu Rui bowed slightly, picked up the tea cup in front of him, and took another sip lightly.
After pondering for a moment, he raised his head as if he was a little embarrassed, looked at Liu Qingxin, who was sitting on his left, and stopped talking.
"If Young Master Rui has anything else, just talk about it together, but if this concubine can help you do it, she will not refuse."
The main thing is said and done, and the rest is nothing more than what Mu Rui needs to use to deal with the relationship between the upper and lower levels of the Qianguo Mansion.
For the "investment" in this area, Liu Qingxin is still willing to do so.
After all, as far as the current situation is concerned, what Mu Rui can ask him for is nothing more than gluttonous pastries.
This kind of thing, in the eyes of others, is a symbol of face, and it is hard to find a lot of money, but for her, it is just a few words.
"The last time I came, when I went back, the princess sent someone to prepare a box of pastries for Rui."
"Rui took it to honor the ancestor, and the ancestor liked it very much."
Speaking of this, Mu Rui paused slightly, pursed his lips, as if he was very hesitant, not knowing what to say next, so as not to seem to be inching in.
"But there is only one box of dim sum, and if you honor your ancestors, you don't have to honor your father."
"My father was busy with official business, and he often stayed up late at night, and Rui wanted to ask the princess for a favor, so he annoyed the princess to ask the cook and prepare two boxes of snacks for Rui."
"Also, there is this dragon well, Rui also wants to ask for some to go back and let my father taste it."
Suddenly, Mu Rui took a deep breath, as if he was out of his mind, closed his eyes, and said his demands in one go, and then, with a red face, lowered his head.
No matter who thinks of it, Mu Rui's request is a bit excessive.
Even if Liu Qingxin unceremoniously refused, no one would ever think that she was stingy or did something wrong.
But Liu Qingxin did not.
She just smiled, then turned around and said a word to Lixia who was standing beside her in a generous manner.
"Go talk to the chef and prepare two sups."
"And a few years ago, the third master asked someone to bring me back the Longjing, and I also packed a pack."
"Yes, Princess."
Lixia answered, raised his head, glanced at Mu Rui with an unkind face, and nailed his eyes to Mu Rui on the ground, before pouting, turning around, and walking to the back kitchen, his eyes full of displeasure.
The order of the princess of their family, she must not disobey it.
But it cannot be disobeyed, which does not mean that when you do it, you must be full of joy.
For Mu Rui, this powerless martial arts son-in-law, Lixia really doesn't like it.
In her mind, if the sons of the various mansions who grew up in the Wuxun Mansion were like Mu Rui, then in a few decades, the border of the Ming Dynasty would be handsome, and there would be no generals available.
Mu Rui lowered his head and pretended that nothing had happened, but the little guy who came with him clearly saw Lixia's reaction in his eyes, and secretly planned to wait for him to return to the mansion, and he would tell Mu Changzuo, the prince of Qianguo, what he saw with his own eyes.
got Liu Qingxin's promise, and handed over the dim sum gift and Longjing prepared for him by Liu Qingxin to the little maid, Mu Rui was about to go out, as if he suddenly remembered that he came this time, and he also brought a "gift" to Liu Qingxin.
"Last time, I promised the princess that I wanted to help the princess make something, and Rui has already done it."
After a pause, he turned around and took a wooden box from his sleeve pocket, which was not very beautiful.
Mu Rui was a little embarrassed, and handed it over to Lixia, who stepped forward.
"The skills are not refined, and it is a little hasty to do it, I hope the princess will not dislike it."
After that, Mu Rui bowed his hand slightly and said goodbye to Liu Qingxin.
He doesn't like to owe favors.
I especially don't like it, and I owe him the favor of people who look at him.
The small box he gave out looked rough and worthless to others, but it was of great significance to Liu Qingxin and Ling Jun.
"Thank you, Young Master Rui, for remembering the reluctance of this concubine before."
Curiosity killed the cat.
This truth, Liu Qingxin can be said to be like a mirror.
She smiled shallowly, took the small box from Zi Lixia's hand, and put it into her cuff without looking at it.
Mu Rui is not a fool, naturally he will not be stupid, put something that will harm her in this kind of wooden box sent by Ming Daming, after all, she is still useful, at least, before Mu Rui takes the title of Duke of Qianguo in his pocket, it is still useful.
And if he wanted the contents of this box to be made public, there was no need, and when he was about to leave, he "suddenly" remembered that he handed it over to her, which provoked Ling Jun's subordinates.
……
Not long after the carriage of the Qianguo Mansion left, the carriage of the Chengguo Mansion arrived.
At the time, the two carriages, which should be in the suburbs, passed by.
Pulled by four horses, the four-wheeled carriage slowly stopped at the door of the front hall of Deshui Xuan, Zhu Shize and Li Yuanru, with their two sons and a daughter, dressed in solemn festive costumes, walked down from the carriage.
Two days ago, Zhu Shize sent someone to send a message, saying that he would come to visit at noon today, Liu Qingxin agreed, and deliberately the day before, with the gluttonous instructions, to make some delicious pastries and candies for the three children, and prepare a New Year's red envelope for the three children in Lixia.
"The princess has a quiet life."
"The princess has a quiet life."
Zhu Shize and his wife greeted Liu lightly with a respectful attitude.
The three children, before they came, should have learned from their parents that the person in front of them was the benefactor who rescued their own mother.
After quietly waiting for Zhu Shize and his wife to bow, the older one took the lead, stepped forward together, and bowed to Liu Qingxin.
"Thank you princess for saving my mother's life."
"We are willing to repay the princess for the rest of my life today."
Zhu Yingchen, who can already be regarded as a teenager, has wheat-colored skin, which makes him look like Li Yuanru's delicate face, without showing any femininity.
The two younger siblings who were slightly younger than him knelt behind him obediently, and their faces did not show the slightest unwillingness.
"Hurry up, hurry up, the man has gold under his knees, and he will not worship if he is not the prince of heaven and earth."
Liu smiled lightly and stepped forward, lifted the three children from the ground one by one, and took the New Year's red envelope from Lixia and distributed it to them.
Although Zhu Shize did not inherit the title of Duke of Chengguo, he is the concubine of the Duke after all, as his child, these three little guys have no need to give her such a big gift.
But if they did so, it was enough to prove that when they were at home, they had been explained by their elders.
"My father said that the princess asked me and my younger brother to help the princess grind medicine."
"The way of medicine, hearing about face-to-face teaching, can be called a teacher."
"Ying Chen and younger brother, there is nothing wrong with paying a big salute to the teacher."
"My sister and woman, not like the two of us, not the prince of heaven and earth do not worship, she gave a big gift, thank the princess for saving her mother, it is filial piety and education, and it is also in line with etiquette."
Zhu Yingchen smiled and got up, his good-looking eyes were slightly curved, as clean and pure as a blue lotus out of water, which made people feel happy just by looking at it.
Xu is educated by Li Yuanru, he is young, and he has everyone's demeanor in every gesture, which is difficult to compare with Zhu Shize, who is his father.
Zhu Yingci, who followed him, was closer to Zhu Shize in terms of appearance.
His demeanor is not as generous as Zhu Yingchen, and he should be a shy person who will be at a loss when dealing with others.
As for the younger sister of the two of them, Zhu Yuezhi can still only be regarded as a child who has not experienced the warmth of the world.
She has bright eyes.
After taking the New Year's bag handed to her by Liu Qingxin, she almost jumped up happily.
"Okay."
"If you say so, then I will take this gift."
Liu Qingxin likes studious children.
Especially the kind that has a strong interest in medicine.
She is not one of those narrow-minded doctors, she becomes selfish and greedy when she pinches a few prescriptions in her hand, and she hates to take the prescriptions as her own, and even, cover them for a lifetime, and do not pass them on to her children and grandchildren.
She is willing to teach her skills to those who want to learn.
Moreover, she is never afraid that her students will have a talent higher than hers, and they will go one step further in medicine.
"My son-in-law doesn't live outside the New Year."
"When the first month comes, you will take this little guy with you and come to the Three Princes' Mansion to stay for a few days."
"If you really have this talent, and if you really want to study this way, I will take you as a student."
Liu Qingxin said as he stretched out his hand to help Zhu Yingci, who was standing behind Zhu Yingchen, tidy up his collar, which was a little wrinkled because of kneeling, and said to Zhu Yingchen with a smile that he could choose left or right.
The ancients admired riupright.
There is a saying that one day is a teacher, and a lifetime is a father.
Liu Qingxin is not a man, of course, it is impossible to fight for this identity bluntly.
But today, the olive branch she threw to Zhu Yingchen is tantamount to a promise that if the two brothers like it, they can worship her as a teacher, and continue to study the way of medicine, she is also willing to teach each other, even if it is the opposite, the two of them can still rely on what she said today, choose the time to apprentice, and from then on, they will regard themselves as his disciples, and because of this, they will be protected by the Three Princes' Mansion.
"Then when the first month comes, Ying Chen will take his younger brother with him and go to the Three Princes' Mansion to give the princess a gift of worship."
When he was at home, Zhu Shize originally explained to Zhu Yingchen and asked him to try to admit Liu as a godmother.
However, plans are not as good as changes.
Now, Liu Qingxin has thrown out a method that is far better than Zhu Shize thought, and he is low-key and subtle, and will not attract the attention of others, how can he refuse?
This was proposed by the master, and the "genealogy" of master and apprentice that was established and maintained is, after all, much more reliable than the relationship between the "god" and the son!
