"I said that I came to find me in the middle of the night, but the county lord didn't break his promise."

Mu Qianqiu sighed at Chu Nian's calmness, and at the same time carefully and secretly looked at Chu Nian's complexion, and a little embarrassment flashed on his originally calm face: "County Lord, now that you know that Mu Qianqiu is a daughter, do you want to send me to the court?" ”

Although Da Liang is not so strict, in the end, women are not allowed to enter politics, if it weren't for the queen mother pressing on it, no one would dare to say no, but I am afraid that Chu Nian would not be able to get the power he wanted so easily now. But Mu Qianqiu, as the first talented woman in Jiangbei, has the name of a talented woman, and she has nowhere to show her skills, and she heard about the long history of Xuanting Chuan, so she begged her father to get her such a place.

Master Mu knew that his daughter disguised as a man and went to the court to be found out, which must be a big crime of being beheaded all over the house, but he couldn't resist his daughter, so he had to be selfish, "There are so many talented people who went this time, maybe his wayward daughter will be compared to the son of which family halfway", but he didn't expect that so many people, and only his daughter stood out from the crowd-

Mu Qianqiu is also a person who is not afraid of heaven and earth, but when it comes to her own family, she will still be jealous, especially now that Chu Nian is looking at her with a smile, not to mention reporting her or ...... Her cold sweat was almost wringing a towel.

It doesn't make sense...... Didn't you say that it was good, the unequaled county lord cherished her talents, could it be that she was not talented enough in front of the county lord?

It seemed that he had just felt Mu Qianqiu's fear, Chu Nian got up with a light smile and paced under a piece of moonlight: "I don't think you have to participate in the next selection, you have no hope." ”

Mu Qianqiu's face was like ashes, and his pair of Danfeng eyes were no longer as arrogant as before, and he only said in a muffled voice: "County ...... Lord, then my secret ......"

Chu Nian turned around and smiled lightly: "I won't expose you, but it still depends on your performance." ”

"What's the performance?"

"I heard that although the Jiangbei Mu family has no connection with officialdom, it is the richest businessman in Jiangbei, really?"

Jiangbei is not a small place, with developed commerce and trade, can gain a foothold in such a place, or even dominate one side, how can the Mu family be a simple character? When Chu Nian heard the news, he was curious about what kind of person the head of the Mu family was, so he heard that among them, it was still the hard work of the second mother of the Mu family that made the Mu family dominate one side in Jiangbei.

This famous second mother of the Mu family is Mu Qianqiu.

At this moment, Mu Qianqiu's face was a little distorted, "Yes." ”

She can't escape the name of "businessman" anywhere, but when she helped her father and brother in business, it was just so that the family could have enough to eat.

The Mu family is in the silk business, and during the rise of the Mu family's business, Mu Qianqiu can be regarded as overcoming obstacles, but it is just a small fight for the eloquence and wisdom in her heart, and she has enough of such a dull day.

"If the county lord wants me to help the county lord do business, it's better to be exempt, the little girl would rather tremble in the court than live such a boring life."

Chu Nian heard the meaning of her words, is this disgusted business is too boring? However, Chu Nian was not annoyed, and only looked at Mu Qianqiu's "rather than give in" little face with a smile: "Are you not afraid of death?" ”

Mu Qianqiu's face was stunned, but she still held her neck, of course she was not afraid that Chu Nianzhen would report her, the crime of bullying the monarch would be punished, regardless of whether the monarch was "coerced" by the minister, it could be regarded as bullying, right? She was gambling, betting that Chu Nian was reluctant to kill her.

Looking at Mu Qianqiu's raised face, which was blue and purple for a while, and the worry was written on his face, Chu Nian couldn't help but chuckle. Indeed, as Mu Qianqiu expected, she would never push a talented and rootless woman into the hands of the Queen Mother and Wang Zixuan, just because this Mu Qianqiu can stand out among millions of young people full of poetry and books, even if Chu Nian exposes the fact that she is a daughter to Wang Zixuan and others, I am afraid that Wang Zixuan will have to find a reason to leave people behind.

"You don't like to run silk, I don't know gunpowder, are you interested?"

There is no fire ban in Daliang except for Kyoto, but Kyoto can be strictly controlled, since the last time the Su family Liuniang blew up Shen Du before she died, the rich and noble people in Beijing are afraid of this powerful thing, so even the fireworks are not sold in Kyoto.

Gunpowder was originally a rare thing researched by those wandering magicians, this Mu Qianqiu had also heard of it, and he knew that now the imperial court was sending people to study this thing, and once this thing was hired on the battlefield, it would definitely be a scourge that killed all sides.

But what is such a dangerous thing to do?

Seeing Mu Qianqiu's slightly narrowed Danfeng eyes, Chu Nian knew that she was interested, so she lowered her eyes and leaned over, "Follow me, it will definitely not be without excitement, how about it?" ”

……

The next day, Ye Yuan came to Chen's Mansion to look for Chu Nian, but unexpectedly saw a strange figure in the pavilion.

The woman is dressed in peach pink, weeping clouds and sideburns, a playful peach blossom on her head, her face is like congealed fat, willow eyebrows, and red phoenix eyes, showing all kinds of charm in the playfulness, and she is looking down and sniffing the lotus flowers on the edge of the pond.

Ye Yuan was stunned, and it wasn't until Chu Nian's playful voice sounded from behind him that he came back to his senses: "Why did Mr. Ye come here so early." ”

Turning back to Shang Chu Nian's meaningful eyes, Ye Yuan's face turned red, and he coughed lightly and said: "There are some important things to report to the county lord, it is about Tingchuan, I heard that the disaster on Tingchuan's side seems to have eased." ”

Chu Nian nodded, followed Ye Yuan's gaze, and saw that it was Mu Qianqiu, she couldn't help but hook the corners of her lips - I didn't expect that Mr. Ye, who looked cold and ascetic, also had a time when he was moved, but if he knew that this delicate and beautiful woman was Mu Qianqiu who he kept slandering yesterday - Chu Nian didn't plan to tell him, it could be regarded as a little fun in this boring life.

"Qiu'er." Chu Nian took the lead in walking to the pavilion, Ye Yuan originally hesitated and didn't know whether to follow or not, but now he had an excuse, so he hurriedly followed Chu Nian's back.

Mu Qianqiu came back to her senses from the lotus flowers, and her fair face seemed to be dyed by the lotus flowers, pink and tender, which was particularly lovely.

She nodded towards Chu Nian: "County Lord, huh?" Mr. Ye? ”

Being named, Ye Yuan's face suddenly turned red, and he lowered his head and let Chu Nian go: "County Lord, who is this?" ”

Chu Nian smiled and didn't speak, even Mu Qianqiu looked at Ye Yuan who was so clumsy, and a hint of abuse flashed in his eyes, "I have long heard of Mr. Ye's fame, and the little girl admires it very much, Mr. Ye only needs to call me Qiu'er with the county lord, if Mr. Ye doesn't dislike it." ”

She hadn't forgotten Ye Yuan, who was sneering next to the county lord last night! But since he doesn't know who he is today...... Hey, hey, hey! Who said that looking at a pure little lady is really pure?

Ye Yuan waved his hand again and again: "Don't dislike it, don't dislike it...... It is a blessing for Xiaosheng to be favored by the autumn lady. ”

"Hey, why is Mr. Ye so angry." Mu Qianqiu winked mischievously at Chu Nian, then reached out and grabbed Ye Yuan's arm "without giving birth", which made Ye Yuan's old face red: "I have heard that Mr. Mu is good at chess, and the little girl also knows a little bit, so it just happens to be free today, why don't you accompany Mr. Ye to play a game with the little girl?" ”

Ye Yuan looked at the shiny little hand that fell on his arm, his eyes were straight, and it was not until he was pulled down by Mu Qianqiu that he looked at his county lord with a red face and asked for help.

Chu Nian tilted his head, pretended to turn a blind eye and said, "It's rare that you are so compatible, so I won't bother, just so I'm going to Jishitang." ”

Hearing the words "Jishitang", Mu Qianqiu turned his head and raised his eyes: "It turns out that the famous Jishitang in the city is also under the county lord?" ”

How did the county lord manage to kill and heal at the same time?

Chu Nian smiled, didn't speak, turned around and left, seeing this, Mu Qianqiu had no choice but to transfer all his interest to Ye Yuan.

I saw that her little face was filled with a smile that made Ye Yuan feel cold: "Come, Mr. Ye, I said that I would accompany the little girl to play chess today, don't be too humble just because the little girl is a daughter." ”

Ye Yuan only felt depressed, although his chess skills were sharpened by the old county magistrate, when did he become exquisite? Women are versatile, and he is not unfamiliar with the people around him as the unequaled county lord, if this autumn lady is also the peerless county lord, isn't his half-hung chess skills out to be embarrassing?

It's just that the county lord of his own family has no intention of saving the scene at all, but he is afraid that today he will be embarrassed in front of the beauty he just met......

Not to mention that Ye Yuan and Mu Qianqiu were fighting hotly in the pavilion, Chu Nian just left the Chen Mansion, thought about it and turned around and went to the Mu family, seeing that Mu Qing still had no signs of waking up, she came out with a frown and went straight to Jishitang.

Ah Wu is now looking for a medical book, the Wu family has a century-old medical family, and maybe the medical book handed down by Ah Wu's ancestor can record the method of treating Mu Qing. The sacred mountain and the goddess that Xu Lao said are too ethereal for ordinary people like them, and now there is still a period of time before she can leave Beijing, so it is better to ask Ah Wu to work harder, and until the last moment, she must not give up easily.

Thinking of this, Chu Nian couldn't help but laugh again, what is the ethereal goddess of the Divine Mountain, isn't she herself a variable in this world?

Not far away is the downtown where Jishitang is located, the downtown is crowded with people at the moment, and many vendors are shouting loudly for the goods in their hands, but Chu Nian noticed a figure in the crowd.

The figure is tall, well-proportioned, wearing Western Chu style clothes, Rao is light veil to cover his face, and a pair of beautiful eyes are exposed, and there is still a mysterious style.

asked Chu Nian to notice the woman, not because of the strange clothes on her body, nor how beautiful she was, but the inexplicably familiar aura on her body, which was open and wise, especially the pair of beautiful eyes exposed outside, like Mu Qing when she first met.

Chu Nian's heart became inexplicably anxious, if it was Mu Qing...... If Mu Qing was standing in front of her now, how good would it be.

The woman was holding a sugar man in her hand, her beautiful eyes were full of smiles, and there was a guard-like person standing beside her, tall and looking like a Xichu person.

"Joan, look, this sugar man doesn't look like a third cousin?"

The guard beside her stared at the sugar man in her hand for a while, then withdrew his gaze with a solemn expression, "It is really disrespectful for the Da Liang people to pinch Ah Qing Niang into a sugar man." ”

The woman smiled and patted the tall guard's head: "You, there are too many rules." ”

Chu Nian approached in a daze, and caught a glimpse of the sugar man in the woman's hand that looked like Mu Qing, and when he was distracted, he felt that his shoulder was hit by a hard object.

The woman stumbled a few steps and was helped by the guard, and then she heard the guard say angrily to Chu Nian: "Bold, do you know that this is ......"

The woman's slender jade fingers blocked the guard's mouth, and a pair of beautiful eyes looked at Chu Nian carefully, seeing that she was dressed richly, she couldn't help but look a little higher, but there was still a bit of arrogance in her eyes.

It's just that there was a little more politeness in his voice: "I'm sorry, my guard is too impulsive and disturbs the lady." ”

Chu Nian came back to his senses, his eyes were slightly downcast, but he still smiled lightly: "It's the little girl's fault first, can't you compensate the eldest lady." ”

The woman nodded lightly, turned sideways and gave Chu Nian, the guard glanced at Chu Nian as if warning, and the two gradually left. In vain, Chu Nian looked at the woman's back thoughtfully.

People who know Mu Qing...... Chu Nian looked at the sugar man on the table and was stunned, it seems that this bloody storm in the Daliang Imperial Court has affected other families after all......
