Chapter 60: Finding Out the News
"My father is an important minister in the Saluo Kingdom, my mother is a merchant, and I am an only son in the family, so the responsibility of inheriting this family naturally falls on me."
I see.
Mu Qiange knew it in his heart, and when he saw that Kuixi began to bang and beat again, he was extremely serious, so he didn't bother anymore, got up and went to the back kitchen.
As soon as he entered the yard, he saw Da Yang washing fish, so he smiled and said, "I'll come here!" You go out and see if Quisi needs your help, and I'll make a few more meat dishes at noon, and then scald the pot of wine. ”
"Hey!"
As soon as she was about to leave, she saw a lot of bamboo sticks beside Da Yang, and she didn't have to think about it to know that he was taking on a private job after seeing that there was no business in the tavern for the past two days!
"Who's taking this?"
Seeing that Da Yang didn't answer, Mu Qiange directly crossed Da Yang, and at a glance, he saw not only what he saw, but also a lot of them in the corner.
"How much private work have you taken behind my back?"
Seeing Mu Qiange's dark face, Da Yang said in a low voice: "It's not much, it's just the work of three or four families......"
"Is that less?"
Mu Qiange said angrily: "Didn't I say a long time ago, you don't have to take these private jobs, now even if the business of our tavern is not good, it is enough for the daily expenses of the three of us, don't you tell me that you can't finish the work every day, right?" Where is so much leisure. ”
She knows that Da Yang is an idle person, and his personality is honest and honest, and because of this, she doesn't know how many times she has said Da Yang. But Da Yang himself always put on an honest and honest appearance, and Mu Qiange was also angry.
Da Yang felt that he should be busy, but he didn't know how to talk back in the face of Mu Qiange's incomprehension.
His attitude was the same as that of soft cotton, and Mu Qiange felt like a punch on cotton.
Since moving to the city, she and Xiao Yang have gained a lot of weight and a lot of water. Only Da Yang, not only did he not grow meat, but the whole person lost a lot of weight.
The work in the hall, which seems to be nothing, is actually the most tiring. If you are busy, you can't be idle all day, and you have to go to the back kitchen to help yourself when you are a little free.
Seeing the helpless appearance and the much thinner figure, the nameless fire gradually subsided again.
Mu Qiange sighed and softened his voice: "In the next few days, there will be no business in the store, just do whatever you want!" But remember to rest well, don't exhaust yourself, Xiao Yang will have no one to take care of. ”
Obviously, he wanted to say a few words about Da Yang, but the words he said were full of concern.
Da Yang snorted, obviously a man, but sometimes his voice was a little softer than that of a woman.
"And ......"
Mu Qiange stopped his steps to leave, and kicked the bamboo stick next to him lightly, with a strong warning: "After you do this, don't take any more work, you know?" ”
Da Yang was a little hesitant, seeing that Mu Qiange's face turned dark, and he was a little impatient, so he hurriedly responded.
After explaining, Mu Qiange went into the kitchen and cut a plate of various pickled vegetables, stewed a chicken, added some firewood to the stove, simmered the rice, and then prepared to go out for them to prepare to wash their hands and eat.
As soon as I entered, I saw Xiao Yang who had left the school talking and laughing with Quexi.
I don't know what Qi Dachuan said, Xiao Yang exclaimed: "That's great, if what you said is really Brother A Jin, then it's really great?" ”
"yes." He put down the hammer in his hand and said with a smile: "Now that the news has spread outside, the northern border is chaotic, and the imperial court has sent envoys to quell the chaos, and there will definitely be your brother A Jin among them." If you are"
Just wanted to say that if you miss him, he can take him to see it at any time, but suddenly remembered Mu Qiange's strong feelings for Na Jin, and suddenly he didn't dare to speak.
Xiao Yang is a child, he didn't hear it, and clapped his hands excitedly: "That's great, I've been thinking about Brother Ah Jin for a long time, not only I miss him, but even Sister Qiange often misses him, if you can really take me to see Brother A Jin, I will definitely bring Brother A Jin back." ”
Seeing that Xiao Yang was so relieved that His Royal Highness King Jin was not at ease, Quixi couldn't help but regret that he shouldn't take the initiative to mention this, originally Mu Qiange and Ah Jin hadn't seen each other for a few days, so maybe it would fade away. You can see each other again, in case you have feelings again in the future, how can it be good. Wouldn't all these thoughts and efforts be in vain?
"That, friend Xiao Yang, you don't have to be in such a hurry, the last time I entered the capital, I read the notice and said so, as for whether His Royal Highness King Jin is the brother A Jin you are looking for, I can't guarantee you yet."
"When I was in Baishui Village before, Brother A Jin was very good to me, his handwriting is as good as writing, both civil and military, he can do everything, it is possible that he is His Royal Highness King Jin."
Seeing that Xiao Yang seemed to be getting more and more energetic, Kuixi couldn't help but secretly complain, and didn't know how to reverse the topic, so he suddenly turned his face and saw Mu Qiange standing aside, and suddenly felt like a treasure, and his eyes lit up: "Sister Qiange, you are here, hurry, take a look at my skills?" ”
At the same time, he secretly reached out and wiped a handful of sweat beads on his forehead, saying in his heart that it was really dangerous.
It's just that before I put down this breath, I heard Mu Qiange say: "Brother Kuixi's craftsmanship, I naturally trust it, but it's just ......"
She raised her eyes and looked at him with a smile, a hint of cunning flashed in the corner of her eyes: "What you just said seems to be my old friend, there has been no news of him for a long time, since Brother Quixi has news of him, I want to meet him, there are too many questions in my heart that need him to answer, but I just don't know that it is inconvenient for Big Brother Quexi to introduce me." ”
The heart that Quisi had just put back in the cavity was instantly lifted again.
"Sister Qiange, I am also hearsay, as for whether His Royal Highness King Jin is the person you are looking for, I can't guarantee it. Besides, you'...... Do you see His Royal Highness King Jin doing ...... Why? ”
He stumbled in his speech, and said in his heart what he had just said to Xiao Yang, how much she had listened. It's okay to be a referrer, but I'm afraid that if I see someone who is not what she is looking for, I can't help but feel sad.
The conscience of heaven and earth, he is half of the truth just now, and the other half is his own nonsense.
Kui Xi was sweating profusely, but Mu Qiange had his own plans in his heart.
She was afraid that what Kuixi said was true, since Ah Jin had entered the palace well, how could he come to the northern border, did it mean that the emperor had condemned him, or that he had not escaped the trap of others.
A Qin Wang made her anxious, and now even if she meets Ah Jin, so what. He is now in a high position, and she still knows the truth that he is too cold in a high place. Now the plan, as long as the time is ripe to meet Ah Jin, otherwise he can't help but bring danger to himself and the people around him, and may cause trouble for Ah Jinping.
Mu Qiange naturally didn't know at the moment, because of her temporary plan to protect her life, the time for her and Ah Jin to reunite in the future was postponed a lot, just talking about Kuixi's side, after hearing it, she made up her mind in her heart that she would not let the two meet.
Even if he sees it, if he marries this woman, when that time comes, Mu Qiange will become his wife, the future queen of the Shaluo Kingdom, and His Royal Highness King Jin will not compete with him for a woman with the peace of the two countries.
Thinking so in his heart, when he felt that he was really extremely smart, he grinned and said: "Sister Qiange's words, I must keep in mind, the next time I enter Beijing, if I am lucky enough to meet His Royal Highness King Jin, I will definitely bring your words." Come on, come on, take a look at this chair, I've taken out my housekeeping skills. ”
Mu Qiange saw that the wooden work he did was really fast and good, and when it was noon, he beckoned him to wash his hands and prepare for dinner. Then Dayang served good wine and good food.
After Da Yang served the wine and food, he went out for something, and Mu Qiange saw that Kuixi was sitting at the table alone to eat and drink, and there was no one to entertain, so he pulled Xiao Yang to sit at the table and accompany Kuixi to eat.
She didn't notice that Xiao Yang's watery eyes kept rolling.
I thought in my heart that it would be great if Sister Qiange and her beautiful brother were a couple, and she could pester her beautiful brother every day in the future.
Mu Qiange didn't know that he had been sold for a good price by the kid next to him, and when Quixi was eating, he couldn't help but ask, "Okay, how can there be a rebellion?" The people are panicking. ”
This is not a secret, Kuixi drank beautifully, and snorted: "As early as a few years ago, there was civil strife in the Shu Huang Palace, and the whereabouts of the three princes of the Shu Emperor were unknown, and the first king of the north also happened to pass away. And the growing power of Wu Guifei in the palace also caused dissatisfaction among the officials of the previous dynasty. Now that the court is stable, and the Shu Emperor also has the intention of transferring General Wu's military power, he naturally accepts the shield soldiers here to quell the chaos. ”
"But you don't have to worry." Kuixi comforted: "Although I am a citizen of the Shaluo Kingdom, the reputation of the Emperor of Shu as a son is well known, and he specially ordered the land to be received as usual, and even the parents and officials do not need to be replaced. ”
"I see."
Mu Qiange pretended to be relieved and said with a smile: "We ordinary people don't know anything, we suddenly heard about the rebellion in the north, and we are not far from the north here, if there is a war, we will be the first to suffer here, when I first heard about it, I was really shocked." In fact, no matter who is in power, it doesn't matter to the people. As long as someone has a stutter and can survive, it is better than anything else. ”
Raising his hand, he took the wine jug, and slowly poured it into his cup: "After all, the world is prosperous, the people are bitter, and the people are dead, and the people are even more bitter." ”
The orange-yellow liquid flows slowly, revealing a fresh fragrance.
Quixi pinched the wine glass, his heart moved, and then looked at Mu Qiange, there was a hint of brightness in his eyes.
"Sister Qiange has read?"
"I was born bitterly, where have I read any books, since I was a child, my father didn't love my mother, where would anyone worry about my reading and literacy, I was unlucky." Mu Qiange smiled: "I can recognize these words, but my cousin is very knowledgeable, and during the days in the countryside, listening to him occasionally chant, I will also know a few words." If there is more, it will be gone. ”
It was rare for Kuixi to hear her take the initiative to mention her upbringing, and she couldn't help but feel a trace of curiosity and pity: "I heard that His Royal Highness King Jin led his troops to the south this time, and he was with General Wu. I heard that His Royal Highness the King of Jin turned his face with Concubine Wu after returning to the palace, and if he wanted to lead the troops south this time, General Wu would inevitably give His Royal Highness the King of Jin small shoes to wear. ”
Perhaps he has always thought that Ah Jin is both civil and military, and he is a rare talent in this Shu millet. I never thought that others could wear small shoes for him, but when she heard Quicy mention it for the first time, she couldn't help but be stunned, and she didn't react for a while.
Quexi thought she didn't want to say it, so she took the initiative to pour her a glass of wine: "Don't talk about this, come on, eat and drink." ”
Mu Qiange took a sip, and a stream of heat flowed down his throat to the stomach pouch.
"Isn't that a big deal?"
