In the early hours of the morning, the sky has not yet dawned, and the fresh air is mixed with a little coldness.

Before the streets were yet popular, more than 300 horse-drawn carriages drove towards the city from four directions, apparently all with the same destination.

"Oops! Slow down! Be careful not to smash it! A Mu family steward was busy shouting, directing a group of Mu family servants to be busy carrying and decorating flower beds.

Pots of autumn chrysanthemums of different sizes, colors, and postures are being taken down from the carriage by the Mu family's servants in turn, and then sorted and transported to various places in the Mu Mansion. At this time, the four gates of Mufu are all like this, and the scene is very busy.

"Hey, be careful, these pots of 'Swan Dance Snow Lion' are asked by the third master, and you can't fry your hair when you touch the third master?" The deacon in charge saw that several clansmen were so careless that they almost knocked on the steps and jumped to their feet!

Several clansmen nodded stupidly and quickly slowed down. I saw a cadre of people carrying square, round, long and short nine flower pots in twos and threes, which was the so-called "swan dance snow lion". I saw that these nine pots of chrysanthemums all used three kinds of white chrysanthemums, each according to the pot shape, flower design, different shapes.

Of course, this is not only good-looking, but those who know how to see that this "swan dance snow lion" can be exquisite. Let's not talk about anything else, let's just say that the flowers used, although they are all white, but they are different. There are three kinds of white chrysanthemum in each of the nine pots, and there are nine kinds of white chrysanthemums, which are swan dance, snow sea, white-haired lion, grass house such as hedge, white jade bead curtain, remnant snow shock, white gull chasing waves, Yaotai jade phoenix, and white-haired chrysanthemum. The nine types of white chrysanthemum are not ordinary products in chrysanthemum!

However, although there are many types of uses, they are clustered together, but they are not half mixed! During the period, each flower type, plant state, stamen color, uneven complement each other, although it is elegant, but also very beautiful! Because of the swan dance, snow sea, white lion three types of white chrysanthemum quality, so the name "swan dance snow lion".

Seeing that the nine pots of chrysanthemum plants were transported away in good condition, the steward breathed a sigh of relief, and then directed the work at hand.

Besides, this flower-sending convoy, ordinary people may not be able to see anything, but those with vision can recognize the emblem engraved on the carriage, which is the badge of the "Four Gentlemen" Chamber of Commerce, one of the largest flower operators in the empire!

To say that the "four gentlemen" is not simple, there are many fresh flower operators in the Tiansheng Empire, and the one who occupies the top spot is the nine major operators known as "three families, two lines and four associations". The three families refer to Liu, Jiang, and Jiang, the two lines refer to the two lines of Lanzhang and Muxi, and the four will be the four gentlemen, Baihuakui, Guyuhuahui, and Qianyan Qunfang.

These nine families have strong financial resources and superb cultivation skills, so they are designated as the suppliers of fresh flowers in the Tiansheng Imperial Palace, so they are also called "Nine Imperial Flowers"!

Because the Four Gentlemen's Flower Store is located in Mucheng, it is convenient for the location, therefore, after the royal family, the Mu family is the first family to receive supplies. Of course, this is only the first batch of autumn, which shows the prosperity of the Mu family's wealth!

Of course, no matter how thoughtful you are, you can see more ways from it. Among the nine royal flowers, except for three, they are all chamber of commerce models, so it is said that this Baihua is the industry in which the Mu family accounts for two percent of the shares, except for the Bai family, the founder of the largest owner, it is the largest Mu family, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the Mu family's industry. As a result, the Mu family chooses to use flowers every year, and all of them are 40% of the flowers, and then the remaining eight bid. However, isn't it strange that this year's autumn flowers are monopolized by the four gentlemen's family?

If you understand people's careful speculation, you will understand, who are these four gentlemen? The biggest shareholder behind these four gentlemen's flower party is the Wang family! In recent years, the Wang family has coerced and induced to gradually acquire 30% of the shares, achieve a controlling stake, and spend the most attention in one of the industries. Therefore, the Mu family left the fat water to the four gentlemen, behind which was intended to show favor to the Wang family.

"This old guy is really capable, in just half a year, the profit has dropped by as much as one percent, reprimanded him a few words, and dared to give me a resignation, why, relying on my uncle, you can't demonstrate to me? It's okay, it's time for him to let Rang Xian! Mu Hengqian faintly said angrily, and waved his big hand.

Seeing this, all the high-level officials of the Mu family in the hall lowered their heads, not daring to touch Mu Hengqian's moldy head. Of course, some young new executives were a little happy, secretly laughing at the miscalculation of the Mu family, which was self-defeating and was really about to abdicate. In this way, then they are naturally expected to be promoted.

"Also, what's going on with the head of Qingtang County?" Mu Hengqian asked.

Hearing this, everyone did not dare to answer.

"Look at you one by one, don't you even know what's going on?"

"Don't be angry, it's important to take care of your health, the old man has already understood, this matter is really a provocation by the Wang family......" An elder hurriedly responded.

Waving his hand to interrupt his words, Mu Hengqian said: "I have already spoken first, the previous clan comparison has already made the Mu family passive, so bear with it at this time——! Besides, the Wang family's provocation is clearly set up, can't you even see this? Okay, I have already said that I will be fined for one year, and let him rest for a month first, so that he can reflect on himself. Again, what an eventful time, don't forget that the Imperial garrison in the cities around Mucheng has doubled! Don't follow the way of the Wang family. Let's go back. ”

Hearing this, everyone saluted, and then retreated cautiously. In the hall, only Mu Hengqian's father and son remained, Mu Jinglan handed Mu Hengqian a cup of tea, seeing that Mu Hengqian was in a bad mood, and just wanted to say something, Mu Hengqian waved his hand to signal him to leave.

Seeing this, Mu Jinglan couldn't say anything more, so she had to leave. Walking on the road, Mu Jinglan was also a little puzzled, although there have been a lot of affairs recently, it is normal for Mu Hengqian to be a little irritable, but in the past, Mu Hengqian rarely had such a big anger except for Mu Jingxi?

"Jing Lan, is your kidney deficient? Why do you look so preoccupied? A somewhat indecent voice came, interrupting Mu Jinglan's thoughts.

"I've seen the third uncle." Mu Jinglan saw that it was Mu Henglei and hurriedly saluted.

"I said Jing Lan, the third uncle understands, they are all men, but there is no need to hurt your spirits, the third uncle will treat you." Mu Henglei pretended to hold Mu Jinglan's wrist, and he was not serious, and then, with a shocked look, he hurriedly let go of Mu Jinglan's wrist and said, "I'...... This...... Ah! The third uncle is at fault, it's been so many years, and the third uncle only now realizes that you are a daughter, and it turns out that you are my niece. But...... Don't be afraid, I won't tell your father about your pregnancies. ”

"Third uncle." Seeing Mu Henglei's indecent style, Mu Jinglan said helplessly.

"Just kidding, haha, but Jing Lan, it's not me saying you, young people must know how to be temperate, so let's give you a prescription for aphrodisiac. But you still have to talk about it first, what is it that made that girl's belly bigger, so preoccupied? Mu Henglei continued.

"Third uncle, what did you say? I'm not married yet! Hearing this, Mu Jinglan, who had always been steady, couldn't help but blush.

"I won't tease you, haha, okay, let's talk about it, what's wrong?" Mu Henglei smiled and asked.

Hearing this, Mu Jinglan told Fang Cai about it.

"Hey, I know what's going on." Mu Henglei smiled obscenely.

"Oh?" Mu Jinglan said.

"Forget it, stupid, think about Jing Xi's stinky boy! Jing Xi has been away from home for so long, can I not think about it! Besides, without Jing Xi, a stinky boy, your father's usual anger in his heart is untouchable, and it's uncomfortable! Okay, leave it to me. ”

"Dangdangdang." There was a knock on the door.

"Please come in." Mu Hengqian rubbed his forehead, looking tired.

"Big brother." Mu Henglei pushed the door and entered, bowing down. Although there is nothing wrong with his etiquette, his demeanor reveals a playful atmosphere. Then without waiting for Mu Hengqian to speak, he sat down in front of Mu Hengqian with a big grin.

"Third child, it's not me talking about you, how old are you, worry more about the affairs of the clan, don't be idle all day long. Tell me, have you ever paid attention to the position I assigned to you? It's all left to your subordinates, and how many of your subordinates who take over the affairs for you have been trained and promoted? You still don't rise or fall...... "Seeing Mu Henglei, Mu Hengqian couldn't help but be verbose, this Mu family is up and down, except for Mu Jingxi, the most headache for him is these three brothers.

was nagged by Mu Hengqian, Mu Henglei didn't make trouble, and laughed with a smile, which made Mu Hengqian shake his head helplessly.

"Big brother, don't you have you in this Mu family, you do a good job, and you can be so idle as a younger brother." Mu Henglei looked flattering and authentic.

"Give me less top hats." Mu Hengqian scolded with a smile, this Mu Henglei wants to say that both intelligence and martial arts are extremely high, and his conduct is not bad, but he is too lazy and puts his mind in a place that is out of tune all day long. For this, Mu Hengqian is also helpless.

"Okay, let's talk about it." Mu Hengqian asked with a smile.

"Oh, it's nothing, it's just that an old man of yours left something for me, and I'll send it to you today. Bring it in. Mu Henglei said.

"The deceased?" Mu Hengqian was a little confused.

Then, I saw a waiter waiting outside the door, walking in with an object covered with a black silk scarf, and placed it on the desk at Mu Henglei's suggestion.

"Let's go down." Mu Henglei commanded, and then motioned to Mu Hengqian to remove the silk scarf.

"Mysterious." Mu Hengqian smiled, and then gently took off the silk scarf, only to see that it was a chrysanthemum planting with three chrysanthemums standing side by side.

"This is? Purple dragon lying in the snow! Mu Hengqian looked at the purple and red chrysanthemum plant, and said with some joy.

Mu Henglei smiled and did not speak. Others don't know, but he knows best, Mu Hengqian is not a person who likes flowers much, but he likes the famous "Zilong Lying Snow" in this chrysanthemum. At this time, he couldn't help but be unhappy.

"It's not that the flowers prefer chrysanthemums, and this flower blooms even more flowerless! Good! Good! Good! Mu Hengqian said with a smile, and then stopped laughing and said, "I don't know which old man is so hearted?" ”

"Hahaha, this old man is very familiar with you." Mu Henglei sold it.

"Oh?"

"It's the one who makes you angry every day."

"Jing Xi?"

"Yes, it's this stinky boy, didn't he say before he left home that he might not be able to come back in time for the Mid-Autumn Festival, just ask me what you like, and I told him, this kid has a heart, got a pot, and asked me to give it to you when it blooms, and tomorrow it will be white dew, so I sent it to you." Mu Henglei said.

"Hmph, this stinky boy is still a little filial!" Mu Hengqian didn't say anything angry, but the joy couldn't be hidden, and the previous tiredness seemed to be swept away.

Mu Henglei secretly smiled in his heart, what was left by Mu Jingxi, he had worked hard for a long time, and was going to give it to Mu Hengqian. However, seeing Mu Hengqian's happy appearance, it was worth telling a little lie.

"By the way, the person next to Jing Xi is nothing abnormal, right?" Mu Henglei asked.

"Well, according to the report of the elder I sent to protect Jing Xi, he is a trustworthy person, but we are too careful." Mu Heng said.

"Well, but it's better to keep a hand. If there is any abnormality, kill him. Mu Henglei said.

"Don't use suspicious people, but you can't be completely unguarded, I hope I didn't believe the wrong person." Mu Hengqian nodded.

"By the way, the Wang family's side?" Mu Henglei asked.

"Bear with me. Let's let them be arrogant first, anyway, my Mu family is not worthy of their Wang family, they also understand this truth, they just want to bargain. At present, all parties understand that the current juncture is still to maintain the overall situation, after all, the grand event of the empire is about to begin. Mu Heng said.

Then the two were silent.

Hidden Dragon Pavilion.

After the decoration of the shogunate servants, the Qianlong Pavilion at this time was already a beautiful sea of flowers, and in this autumn Sose, it was not a beautiful scenery.

"Wow wow, wow, this! This one! Brother Mu Qing, is it beautiful? ”

"And this, how's that?"

"Brother Mu Qing! Come on! ”

"Look, isn't it beautiful for me to wear this bleach?"

"Wow, wow, wow!"

......

Mu Qing looked helpless, and in front of her was a happy girl who shuttled among the flowers, picking bouquets and weaving garlands from time to time, so that she could admire.

I saw Xue Ling'er strolling lightly, with a happy face, full of a cheerful scene unique to a girl.

"Alas, girls love beauty after all." Mu Qing was a little helpless, but it was also a pleasure to guard such a smart girl. Besides, Ling'er is quiet and introverted, and Mu Qing is also happy to be so happy now.

Wearing all kinds of garlands and holding bouquets of flowers, Xue Ling'er excitedly showed them in front of Mu Qing, but after a while, she was a little gloomy.

"What's wrong? Ling'er? Mu Qing was a little puzzled.

"Well, it's nothing, it's just that the young master is not here, and when the young master comes back, the flowers in the courtyard should be thanked......" Xue Ling'er said sadly.

Hearing this, Mu Qing understood that Xue Ling'er was afraid that Mu Jingxi would not see this scenery when he came back, and after all, he missed him.

"Then keep this in your heart, and tell him when the time comes." Mu Qing said softly.

"That's right!" Hearing this, the girl rejoiced again. Then he said, "It's just ...... How so? ”

Mu Qing knew that Xue Ling'er didn't know how to describe it, alas, it was time to show off the charm of men again.

"Come, let me teach you, first of all, let's talk about the flower type of chrysanthemum, let's say this autumn chrysanthemum, flat petals, spoon petals, tube petals, cinnamon petals, and deformed petals, just like this pot ......"

Hearing this, Xue Ling'er hurriedly listened attentively and kept what Mu Qing said in mind.

The period of white dew is approaching, the festive season is approaching, it is the time when autumn thinking is stronger, some people are lovesick and some are worried.

Time passed quietly, and I stayed until night, thousands of miles away in the Yi Mulan Fragrance Garden.

At this time, Mu Jingxi's painting style was completely different from that of the above-mentioned people. In the past few years, Mu Jingxi has participated in four more events, and after several observations and actual combat competitions, his skills have risen a lot, and he can compete with the fighters in the arena only by hand-to-hand combat.

Although it was a little difficult, it ended in victory, and I was in a good mood. In addition, tonight's opponent is a little "special", and it shows the consistent arrogant and dissolute style in the past.

At this time, in the arena, there was endless laughter, all because of Mu Jingxi, who was competing on the field.

"Yo yo yo yo ~ little lady, this is to pick up the master's clothes! Don't worry~! Mu Jingxi shook the torn placket and laughed loosely.

On the opposite side is a female racer in her twenties. This female racer is not like the ladies of the scholar family that Mu Jingxi has seen in the past, she is quite sassy and heroic, so since the start of the competition, she has attracted Mu Jingxi's interest, and has been teased by him from time to time, causing the audience to laugh, and the female racer is also so angry that her face is crimson!

"You!" The female racer was so angry by Mu Jingxi that she couldn't speak, and when she heard the explicit laughter around her, her jade neck flushed, and she couldn't wait to break Mu Jingxi's body into ten thousand pieces!

And Mu Jingxi didn't seem to hear the audience's ridicule, but took it as encouragement and became more and more presumptuous.

"Oh, what are you shy about? Do you have to let people know that you have a secret promise to the master? Mu Jingxi doesn't know whether to live or die.

"Look for death!" When the female racer heard this, she became angry, and swung the nine-section whip in her hand at Mu Jingxi!

I saw Mu Jingxi flashing sideways, and continued to laugh: "Yo! Where? Want to cut off the master's incense from love to hate? If you can't get it, you don't have to destroy it! ”

"Hahaha!" There was a commotion in the auditorium.

The female racer was so angry that she lost all her faces, and there was no discipline between the continuous attacks, and she wasted a little energy in vain, and Mu Jingxi's flirtatious behavior became more and more angry and presumptuous.

The end of the Ming Dynasty sighed helplessly, and said to Li Tao: "Getting this disciple is a great regret in the life of the late Ming Dynasty." ”
