Chapter 212: Deserted and Fleeing
"You can rest assured about this, the second brother and I are not such mixed people, I will marry a daughter-in-law no matter what, but not now, I have to let the second brother and I find someone who is pleasing to the eye and a kind heart."
His requirements are not high, and when the time comes, he will find a daughter-in-law who looks passable, kind-hearted, and can be filial to her father.
Thinking of this, Mu Zhiqi's shadow suddenly appeared in his mind, and suddenly, he immediately shook his head.
Mu Ran naturally discovered Mu Zhiqi's strange behavior, and immediately she stared at Mu Zhiqi fiercely, wanting to see something from his face.
But he didn't want to, Mu Zhiqi was uncomfortable, and bounced directly.
"Sister, my nephew said just now that he was practicing martial arts on the side of the hill, and it just so happened that the second brother also went over to loosen his muscles, that's it, sister."
Mu Zhiqi's desertion and escape made Mu Ran Ran affirm his own thoughts.
It seems that there is really something special here, interesting, and it is the first time she has seen the second brother's expression like this, so she has to inquire carefully.
When Mu Ran was planning to do this, he didn't want to bump into someone head-on.
"Ziqian?" Mu Ran rubbed her sore forehead, thinking that she had bumpered into Mei Ziqian with a shake.
This is good, the forehead must be red.
But she didn't want to, Mei Ziqian had already raised her hand to help her rub her forehead.
"Dye, I called you several times just now, but you didn't respond, what did you say you were thinking, thinking so engrossedly, you didn't even know if you bumped into me."
"Oh, it's nothing, I'm thinking about my second brother, and I'm just losing my mind for a while. It's Ziqian, you came to me, is there anything wrong? ”
"Yes, about what you told me last time, it's a bit of an eyebrow now. You come here. ”
Mei Ziqian took Mu Ranran's hand and went to his house, he took out the inscription from the kiln, and was overjoyed to share the good news with Mu Ranran.
When Mu Dye saw the lettering one by one, he happily quickly dipped the ink and printed the lettering on the white paper, and a word appeared on the white paper in an instant, which was clear and exquisite.
"Great, Ziqian, it's successful, if these words are all engraved and fired according to the commonly used words, when the time comes to print the article, as long as these letterings are arranged, and then printed on white paper, an article will be printed in an instant."
"Yes, that way, it won't take as much labor to print books in the future. Also, the papermaking technique you mentioned in dyeing, I have worked hard to make people constantly experiment and experiment based on the materials you provided, and it is almost the same now. Even the paper that comes out is still quite thin and brittle, and you have to adjust the material formula again, and try it a few more times, and you can soon reach the level of dyeing and dyeing you said. ”
Mei Ziqian was in a really good mood, and he was excited when he thought that these two major events that would benefit the country and the people would spread to the world when the time came, so that the children of the poor family could also afford to buy books and use paper.
And to be able to do these two things, Mu Dye's mood is also very good, she is like a child, printing this word, and printing that word, having a lot of fun.
Seeing this, Mei Ziqian's eyebrows became more and more gentle, and he said, "By the way, Dye Dye, there is one more thing I want to tell you." ”
"What?"
"Dyeing, you said earlier that you didn't want the world to know that this was the recipe you provided, and you didn't want the world to know that this was your idea, you just wanted silver, but I think that the current Mu family needs this good reputation, so I want to wait for these two things to be done, and when the time comes to explain the situation to the emperor, I will say that this is what your Mu family figured out when they got the broken recipe."
If the emperor can change his attitude, it is necessary to make the emperor feel that the Mu family is valuable, and if the Mu family becomes famous all over the world for this, the emperor will also reconsider.
At that time, the four princes will also have to weigh the weight, so that the Mu family will be better off in Luofeng County.
Mei Ziqian's consideration, Mu Ran understood what he meant, and because she understood, she felt more and more that she couldn't do it.
"Ziqian, I know you have good intentions, but if all the credit falls on the Mu family, how should you explain it to your parents? After all, you wrote to Uncle Mei at the beginning, saying that you were studying these two things, so that Uncle Mei didn't let other things interfere with you, and was bent on letting you do these two things, just so that the Mei family could be famous in the world at that time. Now, you have given all the credit to the Mu family, how should you face Uncle Mei when you return to Beijing? How did Uncle Mei face the pressure of the Mei family? ”
"That's okay, I said before that I didn't figure it out, it was just a formula provided by others, and I just helped figure it out, so my dad won't have any opinions. Dye, you can rest assured, don't worry, I'll take care of those things. What's more, this credit originally belonged to your Mu family, and it belonged to dyeing. ”
Mei Ziqian's gentlemanly behavior made Mu Ran admire at the same time, and felt more and more that this young man was a good person, but it was a pity that she had a son by her side, if that incident hadn't happened, she might really consider Mei Ziqian.
But after that incident, there was no more possibility between her and Mei Ziqian.
First, the Mei family will not allow Mei Ziqian to marry a woman who has children out of wedlock, if it is as a concubine, Mu Dye will never refuse.
Second, Su Chen, the cold-faced prince, although he has his own dealings with her, does not mean that the guy will allow her to marry another man with her son, but she still remembers it firmly how that guy threatened her and did not allow her to marry.
Therefore, although Mei Ziqian is a lover, he can only have no fate with her.
Of course, because of the consideration of not being able to live with Mei Ziqian, Mu Ran thought of telling Mei Ziqian these two good things that were enough to become famous in the world with the mentality of making up for it.
But now, Mei Ziqian wants to return the credit to the Mu family, so how can Mu Dye not consider the situation for him.
"Ziqian, you don't need to talk about this matter, we said it at the beginning, how it should be, besides, I just said that, it is you who really do the thing, so, the credit should be yours, Ziqian, I just said that idea, at that time, you gave me the best reward."
Regarding the matter of letting the Mu family gain a firm foothold, Mu Dye will think about another way.
"But—"
"No, Ziqian, this matter is so decided, you are not allowed to say anything about prevarication, the original credit should be yours, and you did it. Besides, I have other ideas here, the idea is not mature yet, so it is inconvenient for me to say anything, when I think it is feasible and I think it is complete, I will tell my father when the time comes, at that time, you don't have to worry about my Mu family. ”
Mu Ran has said everything to this point, Mei Ziqian should not argue with Mu Ran about anything, but Mei Ziqian still thinks that the situation of the Mu family should be considered first.
At this time, Gu Tassel came to find Mu Ran.
As soon as he saw Mu Ran and Mei Ziqian arguing about something, he didn't even understand the situation, and stood directly on Mu Ranran's side.
"I said Mei nerd, you don't have a gentlemanly demeanor anymore, what is a big man arguing with such a woman as dyeing, in my opinion, you just order, what is it that you say about dyeing, you let it be dyed and dyed, what are you fighting for, right, dyeing and dyeing?"
Gu Tassel flattered Mu Ran and said.
This time, he really got to the point.
"Hear it, Ziqian, Gu Tassel said so, I see that you still dare to fight with me, just listen to me, the matter is settled like this, don't give me anything to excuse me."
"It's- well, Dye, since you said so, then I won't say anything more."
However, Mei Ziqian still planned in his heart, and when the time came, he would write that this recipe was from the Mu family.
And Mu Ran obviously didn't know that Mei Ziqian was planning to do this, and now she was asking Gu Tassel.
"By the way, Gu Tassel, is there something you came to me for?"
"It's something, the Gu family in the capital just sent someone to send dividends, this is yours, a total of 120,000 taels of silver, I have already taken my share, you don't have to give it to me again."
In fact, Gu Tassel didn't take a penny of silver, this is because Gu Tassel took into account that there are so many people in Mu Ranran's family, what kind of handicraft workshop is being built, and he has to overthrow the old house to build a new house, which must cost a lot of silver, so this time the Gu family sent someone to send dividends, and he directly left all the dividends to Mu Dye.
And Mu Ran is not stupid, so she naturally understands it very well, but at the moment she really needs silver, so she accepted it without saying anything.
However, she made a note in her heart, so she should take Gu Tassel's silver as a shareholder, and when the time comes, she will give him dividends when she earns the silver.
"It's okay, I'm short of silver, and this bonus is coming, but it solves my current problem."
In fact, she had other plans, and there was no need to spend much silver elsewhere, only the thing she wanted to plan would require a large amount of silver.
Speaking of which, even if you have 120,000 taels of silver on hand, it seems that it is not enough.
The land in the capital is expensive, and there is not much silver to prepare, so there is no confidence after all.
After thinking about it, after Mu Ran saw Gu Liusu and Mei Ziqian leave, she pondered whether to find Nangong Chuli to cooperate in business.
But she didn't want to, and at this time, Mama Qing came to her.
"Mama Qing, are you looking for something with me?"
Without her summons, Mama Qing came to her this big night, and Mu Dye must be an important thing to find her, so she opened her mouth first.
And Mama Qing does have something, and this matter has something to do with her master.
"Madam, please go to the master's place."
"What's wrong? Could it be that there is something wrong with your master? Mu Ran frowned, and hurriedly called the Lichun girl.
"Lichun, you go to the door to have a look, see if Dr. Gu has gone far, if not, let him come back."
"Wait, ma'am." Mama Qing stopped.
