Chapter 10: How Many Brothers?
It's not that I don't see those scrutinizing eyes, or envy, or suspicion, or jealousy...... But what does it matter, Mu Qingwan is not in the mood to pay attention to those now.
Mu Qingwan and Hu Zhao closed the door and discussed their next move. And the first thing is to deal with the Ah Shu who was left outside by them.
Soon, the two were on the move.
Hu Zhao went to the place where he lived before, and explained to Ah Shu that he had found a way to save his "younger brother", but it was a little dangerous, ignoring various details and not saying it clearly, and finally succeeded in persuading Ah Shu to go back to the family residence first.
Mu Qingwan went to a crowded place to inquire about the news, but now her eyes are black, and she doesn't know the situation in the royal city, so there will be a lot of passivity when the time comes. However, Mu Qingwan learned that many resources here were monopolized by the aristocracy, such as books, skills, and so on. For example, the backward families at the bottom do not have the opportunity to learn some skills, such as piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, so the thinking of the entire tribe is still relatively backward, even if it is a nobleman, because they hurriedly hid in the mountains to escape the world, the information left behind is incomplete, and therefore the level may not be very profound. Therefore, those children of poor families who can be favored by big families have more or less obtained some talents because of some chances, although it may only be at a relatively low level.
Knowing this, Mu Qingwan was relieved, and then she would have a good reason to excuse why she was not familiar with the "upper" culture of the tribe, after all, her background determined many things.
It didn't take long for the opportunity to come.
After meeting Mu Qingwan and Hu Zhao, the head of the Li family entered the royal city, met Mrs. Ru once, and reported to the king because the old lady in the house was ill and hoped to see her daughter. In fact, I took this opportunity to discuss the matter with Mrs. Ru.
The next day, the third prince personally came to the Li Mansion to visit the old lady.
There are not a few adult princes, and they all have the support of family forces behind them, and the battle between the princes is becoming increasingly fierce. Therefore, the competition for talents is becoming more and more concerned. If it is said that in normal times, just because there are strategists who defect, it is not enough to make Mrs. Ru and the third prince pay so much attention. The main reason is because it happened to be a palace banquet recently.
The major families will send people to attend, and the king has already released the rumor that the banquet will evaluate the princes, and the best prince will be appointed as the next prince.
The whole tribe is so big, and there are only a few famous strategists. The princes are very familiar with each other's catties, and it is not easy to come up with surprises. There are many strategists in the hands of the third prince, but there are almost no people who can really be called powerful. This time, when I heard the recommendation of the head of the Li family, I was very suspicious, but after all, it was my own family, and it was always trustworthy. Therefore, the third prince finally decided to come to the Li Mansion by himself to find out the details of Mu Qingwan and Hu Zhao.
The third prince disguised himself and quietly entered the Li Mansion.
When the housekeeper went to invite Mu Qingwan and Hu Zhao, the two were still discussing how to find an opportunity to enter the palace as soon as possible.
Following the housekeeper, he came all the way to the study of the head of the Li family, and after the housekeeper sent people in, he retreated and closed the door casually.
At the top of the book sat the head of the Li family, and at the bottom sat a young man.
The young man was tall, with handsome eyebrows, and looked at Mu Qingwan and Hu Zhao with a skewful gaze.
"My subordinates have seen the third prince and the head of the family."
Just looked at it a little, and Hu Zhao looked at the two of them. And Mu Qingwan followed behind Hu Zhao and bent down.
In fact, when Mu Qingwan and Hu Zhao first came in, the eyes of the third prince flashed with amazement. Although the two of them are wearing ordinary linen clothes, both their appearance and their temperament are really difficult to hide, and they are much better than the heirs of most big families. After Hu Zhao spoke out, the third prince couldn't hide his surprise. But soon the third prince reacted, and what followed was vigilance, after all, such a character is not a small person, and he is afraid that he cannot control it. Especially at times like these, there is no room for mistakes.
"Oh? How do you know about me? β
The third prince lowered his head, hiding the suspicion in his eyes, and asked in a low voice.
"It is rumored that the third prince is humble, modest and courteous, and has never been pampered because of his noble status. The subordinates dared to guess that you were the third prince himself. β
Hu Zhao lowered his head and replied.
"Haha, it's really smart, and I don't know who can raise such an outstanding offspring."
The head of the Li family laughed, and he had no doubts about Hu Zhao and Mu Qingwan.
The third prince believed his grandfather so easily, and he was very helpless.
"The subordinates are willing to be loyal to the third prince, but they just hope to use the power of the third prince to rescue their younger brother."
Hu Zhao did not miss Prince Wang's doubts and hesitation, so he expressed his will again.
"Oh? Tell me about it. β
So, Hu Zhao said what he had said to the head of the Li family again. Only then did the third prince's suspicion weaken a little more.
"Head of the house, there is someone outside the door who wants to see you."
At this time, the butler knocked on the door and said outside the door.
"Oh? Who? β
The housekeeper entered the door, leaned over and whispered something in the ear of the head of the Li family. Mu Qingwan and Hu Zhao quietly exchanged glances that were opportunistic.
After the housekeeper went down, the head of the Li family thought for a moment and asked.
"Is there anyone else in the family of the two little brothers?"
"No, there are only three of us brothers left in the family."
"But what is the matter with a man from outside the door who claims to be your brother?"
The head of the house looked serious and stared at the two people below.
"Here, there are really only three of us brothers left in the family, and there is no one else."
Hu Zhao and Mu Qingwan didn't show any emotion on their faces, but they still chuckled in their hearts. can only pretend to be at a loss, after all, it was a temporary decision of the two of them to enter the tribe, and it is impossible for anyone else to know, and the identity of the person who came is really doubtful.
"In that case, bring it in."
Several people left the study and moved to the front hall, where the people who claimed to be Mu Qingwan and Hu Zhao's brothers were facing away from everyone and were already waiting in the front hall at this time.
"Who's coming?"
The head of the Li family stepped up to the top and sat down and asked.
The person with his back to the group turned his head sideways, just enough for Mu Qingwan to see his appearance clearly.
It's him!
Although after a few years, the contours of the facial features have grown, and the person has become much taller and more mature. But Mu Qingwan still recognized it at a glance, it was Jing Yao, who had already been buried in the mouth of the beast in the rumored case!
Mu Qingwan's heart was pounding, and she couldn't tell what kind of mood she was in now, so she only glanced at the other party, and then hurriedly glanced to the side.
Seeing Mu Qingwan's reaction, Jing Yao hooked his lips and smiled, and explained unhurriedly.
