Five years later, a Zhuangzi in Shu County, Jiangnan.

Spring is full of joy, the plants and trees are beginning to bud, and as far as the eye can see, a piece of tender yellow and tender green, a good picture of vitality.

In Zhuangzi's orchard, the spring flowers cover the figure of a young girl, and from time to time the bright laughter of a girl and the childish voice of a child are heard.

"Goo, Huahua, good-looking."

A chubby little doll, holding a handful of spring flowers in her hand, eagerly wants to insert them into the sideburns of the girl holding her.

"Yo, it turns out that we like flowers?"

The girl held the little doll steadily, and gently tapped the little doll's nose with a plain white softness, and said gently.

"Giggles."

Teasing the little doll and giggling as she hugged the girl.

Walking out of the flowers, the girl's true face of Lushan was revealed.

What a girl that is! The girl's eyebrows and eyes are picturesque, elegant and elegant like a blooming lily. The delicate melon seed face, smiling slightly, seems to be compared to the blooming flowers, a pair of shallow pear vortices on the cheeks, curved willow eyebrows, and a pair of clear apricot eyes...... The girl came in abundance.

"Ping'er, you're going to trouble your aunt again."

A young woman came across and wanted to take the little doll from the girl's hand, but the little doll hugged the girl tightly and refused to let go.

"Sister-in-law, I'll hold it."

The young woman shook her head helplessly.

"Qingwan, someone came to Zhuangzi and said that he was looking for you for something. The person is brought to the living room, you go and see. ”

The young woman turned to look at the girl.

This girl is Mu Qingwan when she grows up, Mu Qingwan when she was a girl, her eyebrows and eyes have grown, and her facial features are more exquisite.

Time is the most wonderful thing, and five years have changed so many people and things.

Back then, Mu Qingwan left the capital in a hurry, and was nominally sent to Zhuangzi on the outskirts of the capital to recuperate, but in fact secretly went to Jiangnan. He was accompanied by several of Mu Qingwan's subordinates, Hu Zhao and Ji Xiang Ruyi and others, as well as Liao Guan, the steward of Linlang Pavilion.

In the matter of the hunting ground, Mu Qingwan really experienced the blood, and intuitively realized her weakness.

Therefore, the first thing Mu Qingwan did when she arrived in Jiangnan was to expand her business. As the saying goes, having money can make the devil grind, and having money first is the basis for doing other things. In less than half a year, Jiangnan has a second Linlang Pavilion, how rich Jiangnan is, and the business of this Linlang Pavilion is much better than that of the capital. Although Mu Qingwan developed her business in Jiangnan, at the beginning, she did encounter some obstacles, but fortunately, she was able to solve it every time and do a good job in the past, Mu Qingwan also had her own place in Jiangnan.

In the past five years, Mu Qingwan has basically realized her original intention of developing medical skills. Starting from Chuanbei loquat ointment, Mu Qingwan opened the first Baicaotang, then the second and third...... In the past five years, Baicaotang has developed rapidly, and almost every major city and county in Dajing has a branch of Baicaotang.

Before, the medicinal materials of this era were collected from the wild, the supply was limited, Mu Qingwan used the field he bought as the raw material production area, large-scale planting and supply, and now Baicaotang has become a medicinal material industry chain, almost monopolizing the medicinal material market in Dajing, and many medicinal materials are even sold to other countries.

Not only that, with the care of Steward Liao, Mu Qingwan's Linlang Pavilion also opened five or six branches, bringing a lot of income, and Mu Qingwan also gave Liao's shopkeeper a profit as promised.

Mu Chen got married three years ago, married the second daughter of the Protector General's Mansion, and had an eldest son a year later. The young woman just now is Mu Chen's wife, and the little doll is Mu Qingwan's nephew Mu Ping.

In the second year of Mu Qingwan's departure, Mu Chen participated in the examination, but unfortunately to avoid the limelight, Mu Chen hid his strength, and finally won the first place in the second class in the palace examination and was awarded the official position of Shuji. In the eyes of outsiders, although it is a pity that he can almost be ranked in the top three, but Mu Chen is outstanding, and he is only fifteen years old, so he can be regarded as a young genius.

After another two years, Mu Chen fell in love with the second daughter of the Protector's Mansion and asked Mrs. Mu to marry him.

The Protector Mansion is the most low-key of the three princes, and it does not participate in partisan disputes, so Second Master Mu and Mrs. Mu are naturally satisfied. For this family business, the daughter of the Protector Mansion was supposed to be married, but Mu Chen herself was excellent, and the lady of the Protectorate Mansion took a fancy to Mu Chen, so she was naturally happy. In the end, the dowry given by the Mu Mansion was simply blinding, and it also gave the Protector Mansion enough face.

A year later, Mu Qingwan's sister-in-law successfully gave birth to her eldest son, named Mu Ping, that is, the little doll who had just stuck to Mu Qingwan, and is now two years old.

It's a pity that whether Mu Chen got married or had a son, Mu Qingwan did not return to Beijing, but just sent someone to give a generous gift.

Mu Qingwan's youngest brother Mu Lan is also eight years old, and Wang Chengwen, the youngest cousin of his uncle's family, is also ten years old, and the two younger brothers are going to study at Qingyun Academy. When she received the news, Mu Qingwan was very happy, but she didn't expect her sister-in-law to come with her, and she also brought her little nephew.

I don't know if it's because of the bloodline, Mu Qingwan's little nephew doesn't recognize life at all, and likes to stick to Mu Qingwan very much, Mu Qingwan also feels strange, after all, at the beginning, Xiao Tuanzi was not very enthusiastic about auspicious Ruyi. Presumably it varies from person to person? Mu Qingwan thought narcissistically.

In addition, speaking of Mu Qingwan's sister-in-law, because of the low-key nature of the Protectorate Mansion, Mu Qingwan had not heard any rumors before, good or bad reputation, but only after contact and understanding did she know that this sister-in-law is really not a simple person, not like an ordinary boudoir woman. The sister-in-law has practiced martial arts, knows some fist and foot kung fu, and is bold and generous. Although she hadn't seen it, Mu Qingwan felt that her sister-in-law's character would definitely match Mrs. Mu.

The place where she is staying now is Mu Qingwan's Zhuangzi in Shu County, Mu Qingwan feels that Taiyuan is too crowded and noisy because of the relationship between Qingyun Academy, and Shu County is more quiet and leisurely, so most of the time, Mu Qingwan prefers to stay in Taiyuan.

Mu Qingwan coaxed Mu Ping for a while before handing him over to his sister-in-law.

When they arrived at the front hall, the person who came was not the person Mu Qingwan guessed.

"Why are you here? Aren't you supposed to be in a border town? ”

The person who came was not the one who had always come over, Mu Qingwan was surprised.

"What? Are you disappointed to see me coming? ”

The other party shrugged his shoulders and didn't care.

The person who came was a handsome young man, more than a head taller than Mu Qingwan. Dressed in an ordinary robe, with mud on it, and a pair of military boots under his feet, he looked like a dusty servant.

The boy is Jing Yao when he grows up, and Mu Qingwan hasn't seen him for five years.

After Mu Qingwan arrived in Jiangnan, Jing Yao would regularly send people to deliver letters to him. From the first few months, to one month, to every few days, and more and more frequently.

At the beginning, Mu Qingwan didn't really want to go back, after all, every time she thought of the good concubine Niangniang who was still thinking about killing herself, Mu Qingwan had a pimple in her heart. Mu Qingwan guessed that there would be an inside story, but it was all a royal matter, and Mu Qingwan didn't want to get involved.

Moreover, Mu Qingwan also slowly began to think about her relationship with Jing Yao, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong, aren't royal people suspicious by nature? Then why is Jing Yao different from herself, Mu Qingwan is not stupid, and she feels something strange. Some details are even scary, what is the purpose of Jing Yao?
