"No thanks, I just hate being disturbed." The man in purple didn't look up at her, "The food in your store is very delicious." Can I meet your chefs? ”

Mo Xiaoqi took a plate of fried rabbits from the small second-hand and put it on the table.

"I am." She whispered.

"Oh?" The man in purple looked up in surprise and looked carefully at the woman in front of him.

It's just an ordinary little woman, the man in purple judged.

"You're quite accomplished in cooking." The man in purple motioned for Mo Xiaoqi to sit down.

The man in purple introduced himself: "My name is Zhao Zimu. ”

"Zhao Gongzi, seeing that you are extraordinary, and you are very unfamiliar, I don't think you are from the county." After Mo Xiaoqi looked at Zhao Zimu, he judged in his heart that this man was either rich or expensive.

"The girl is right, but I don't know the girl's name yet." Zhao Zimu grinned, opened a wine glass and poured a glass of wine for Mo Xiaoqi.

"Mo Xiaoqi."

At this moment, Zhao Hongyi entered the door with Yu Kuai, and was relieved to see Mo Xiaoqi.

"Xiaoqi, it's okay if you're okay." He waved his hand to signal the catcher, "You guys, bring these two troublemakers back to the yamen first." ”

"Hongyi, you're here, I'm fine. But I also want to thank this Zhao Gongzi. Mo Xiaoqi motioned for Zhao Hongyi to sit down, "Coincidentally, you are all surnamed Zhao." ”

"yes, what a coincidence. This, but the county magistrate of Renshou County, Zhao Hongyi, Lord Zhao? Zhao Zimu raised his eyebrows and looked at him.

"Lord Wang, long time no see." As soon as Zhao Hongyi sat down, he got up again and made a big salute, "The lower official has seen the prince." ”

"Lord Zhao doesn't have to be formal." Zhao Zimu helped him up, "This is not the capital, so there is no need to do these false courtesies." ”

When the two came into contact, Zhao Zimu whispered: "My good nephew, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

"Thank you Uncle Huang for your concern, I'm fine." Zhao Hongyi also replied in a low voice.

"Lord Wang, it's inconvenient here, why don't we go to the backyard." Zhao Hongyi suggested.

Zhao Zimu nodded, and Mo Xiaoqi led the way to the backyard.

Mo Xiaoqi bowed neither humbly nor arrogantly: "The little woman has seen the prince." ”

She originally hated these false courtesies the most, but if people want to know how to advance and retreat, it is just a salute, so why not?

"No need to be polite." Zhao Zimu bowed his head, and he accepted this gift.

"Lord Zhao, we haven't seen each other for three years since we left the capital." He turned to look at Zhao Hongyi.

"Yes, Lord Wang, Xia Guan has been a county magistrate in Renshou County for three years." Zhao Hongyi is neither humble nor arrogant.

Mo Xiaoqi knew that she was boring, so she took the initiative to go to the kitchen to make some food for the two, anyway, she couldn't intervene in the conversation between the two.

"Boss Mo, the man in the clothes is not an ordinary person at first glance, we have to be careful to entertain him." Bai Xi stood by the stove with a plate of peanuts and reminded in a whisper.

Mo Xiaoqi said while stir-frying: "That's the prince of the dynasty." ”

"Huh? Rajah? Bai Xi's legs trembled a little, he had grown so big, he had never seen an official bigger than the county order.

A prince suddenly appeared, and he couldn't help but tremble with his legs.

"Lord, is this prince here for a private visit to Weifu? Then we've got to behave. Bai Xi put down the peanuts and asked the shopkeeper to wipe the table again.

"Emperor's nephew, you have a good reputation in the county, and everyone praises you as a good official." Zhao Zimu took a sip of tea, intentionally or unintentionally observing the changes on Zhao Hongyi's face opposite.

"It's just doing his job and doing his part well." Zhao Hongyi speculated in his heart that he had been away from the court for many years, and he didn't ask about the affairs of the court, what did his imperial uncle want to do when he came this time?

"You said you, if you don't do it, why did you come here to be a county magistrate. Sesame petty officials, short parents. Zhao Zimu just wanted to test him.

"There is an imperial uncle in the capital, so naturally you don't need me." Old fox, Zhao Hongyi said secretly, he, the imperial uncle, I am afraid that he has bad intentions.

"The capital is taken care of by your father, and I am just an idle prince."

Zhao Hongyi couldn't help but raise a hint of ridicule at the corner of his mouth, but quickly put it away.

"Uncle Huang is humble."

But this ridicule was still in Zhao Zimu's view.

"Emperor's nephew, I came this time on the orders of your father." Zhao Zimu paused, "The emperor has always remembered the nursing mother Li, and he can't get out, so let me bring some congratulatory gifts." ”

"Have you been to the Li Mansion?" Zhao Hongyi's expression changed, "Uncle Huang, I thank you for your concern for grandma." ”

"Lord Wang! Hongyi! Mo Xiaoqi shouted from afar, "I'll prepare some new wine and food for you." ”

When the dishes were served on the table, Zhao Hongyi poured two glasses of wine, and he did it first as a respect.

"Lord Wang, the lower officials will give you a glass first."

Zhao Zimu glanced at Mo Xiaoqi, raised his eyebrows and said, "This Mo girl, but Lord Zhao's confidant?" ”

"It's not." Zhao Hongyi replied.

"Oh? Lord Zhao has also reached the age of marrying a wife, and I heard the Li Mansion vaguely mention it, saying that it was ......"

"It's not." Zhao Hongyi interrupted Zhao Zimu's words, "We are just creditors. ”

"Lord Zhao is right, thanks to him, I can support this store." Mo Xiaoqi's eyes rolled, and he found that Zhao Hongyi seemed to be very jealous of this prince.

"Xiaoqi, go get busy. I have something to talk about with the prince. Zhao Hongyi deliberately pushed her away, he didn't want her to be noticed by his imperial uncle.

Mo Xiaoqi was busy in the kitchen, and later heard that Zhao Hongyi left in a hurry, and the prince Zhao Zimu also left after paying the silver taels.

But on the second day, the prince sent a servant, saying that he invited her to swim in the lake with him.

Mo Xiaoqi thought about it and felt that it was not good to refuse, so he took a basket of snacks and snacks to the lake where he met.

Langjing Lake is located outside the county seat of Renshou County, with beautiful scenery, and many young couples will come here for private meetings on weekdays.

Mo Xiaoqi was carrying a basket, and he saw Zhao Zimu standing under the lakeside pavilion from a distance.

"The little woman has seen the prince." Mo Xiaoqi saluted properly, but the prince immediately reached out to help her up.

"No need to be polite." He smiled confidently, "In the future, just call me Zimu, and let the prince be not close." ”

Mo Xiaoqi quickly thought about it in his mind, and he didn't know what this Zhao Zimu meant, so he could only obey.

The two of them were boating on the lake, and the breeze was gentle, so comfortable.

"Xiaoqi, I heard that the person who made trouble in your store yesterday was a person who settled in the city." Zhao Zimu inquired about Zhao Hongyi's affairs, which naturally included the entanglement between An Jia and Kelaixiang.

Mo Xiaoqi said helplessly: "Yes, Anjia is a big family in the city, and we have a small door and a small shop, so we naturally attract people to suppress it." ”

"But look at your store, business is good." Zhao Zimu looked at her, his voice slower.

"Well, but the An family comes every now and then to find trouble." Mo Xiaoqi took out a snack, "What?" The prince wants to help me? ”
