Lin Zhu didn't have much property in his hands, and it was easy to handle. However, he had to think carefully about how to arrange the servants in Fu Zhuang and An Yuan.
Before Lin Zhuang sold Fu Zhuang and An Yuan, she had communicated with them first. If she was willing to stay, she would return the deed of sale to them. If she was still willing to continue to follow her, she would have to adapt to her new life again in the near future.
environment.
What surprised Lin Zhu was that everyone was willing to follow Lin Zhu, and Zhao Da spoke out what was on his mind for the two Zhuangzi people.
"The girl is kind and righteous, saving the slaves from fire and water. The slaves have already sworn to follow the girl for the rest of their lives. As long as the girl does not dislike her, the slaves will never leave the girl." Zhao Da knelt in front of Lin Zhu and spoke sincerely.
"Guard Zhao, get up first. The girl doesn't like people kneeling down on her at all times." Chang's mother helped him up at the side.
"Manager Zhao is so polite. As long as you follow me, I will not treat you badly." Lin Zhu nodded. After two years of getting along with each other, Lin Zhu felt very satisfied that he could gain their loyalty. The benefits of following him are definitely better than
They live more independently.
Capital City, Prince Qi’s Mansion.
"Fourth brother, you have to get some of your special white rice for your brother next year?" Mu Qingqi called Mu Qiyue to the house again, and the two of them talked alone in the study.
"Brother Qi, you have to ask the emperor for this." Mu Qiyue sat leisurely on a chair and drank tea, "This tea is really good. When I leave later, you can ask the butler to wrap it for me.
catty."
Seeing his rude look, Mu Qingqi couldn't do anything with him. Who allowed him to have such good things in his hands that everyone in the capital wanted?
"You really dare to speak. The emperor rewarded me with one or two kilograms in total. I have already drunk almost half a kilogram. When you take back half a kilogram later, you will thank me for my generosity." Mu Qingqi looked at
Mu Qiyue, who showed his true temperament in front of him, was a little helpless.
"Brother Qi, don't worry, I will definitely give you some evenly next year." Mu Qiyue thought to himself. Because this year's production is too small, people are flocking to it. Next year, there will be 100 acres of special rice. Come again.
A few hundred acres of high-quality rice is enough to supply the capital. If you eat your own meat, you have to leave some soup for others to drink.
"Really?" Mu Qingqi's eyes lit up, "Don't bring all the tributes to the palace then, you don't know. Because your rice is so good, and I've finished eating it at home, your brother and I shamelessly went to the palace to eat it.
I have been my brother for several years, but now the emperor doesn't summon me at all." Mu Qingqi sighed slightly, thinking that the emperor was too restrained. Of course, he would not tell him about eating and drinking in the palace.
Mu Qiyue's.
"There can't be more ministers in the palace, otherwise the Marquis of Hui'an will hate me to death." Although Mu Qiyue said this, there was no hint of fear in the Marquis of Hui'an in his tone. Instead, it was full of ridicule.
"What? He wants to cause trouble for you?" Although Mu Qingqi is the least lethal prince in the royal family, he can still have some momentum when he gets angry. Hearing Mu Qiyue's words, he stood up immediately.
"Haha, how could he cause trouble for me?" Mu Qiyue curled his lips and said.
"As long as I don't cause trouble for you." Mu Qingqi felt relieved a little.
"The Lin family is looking for trouble with Mu Yue Trading Company." Mu Qiyue said coolly.
Mu Qingqi was helpless by his heavy breathing. "It's not all the same." Mu Qingqi sat down again, "She is the third eldest son of the Lin family. I heard that his wife is the legitimate daughter of the Hui'an Marquis Mansion.
.”
"Yeah. It's been quite noisy recently." Mu Qiyue didn't show any concern on his face. "Hey, Lin family."
"Oh. What's going on?" Mu Qingqi asked curiously. A person who usually hangs out with Yun Yehe is actually interested in these things. Mu Qiyue looked slightly sideways. "Haha, isn't there nothing happened recently? I'm a person.
Have fun." Mu Qingqi laughed dryly, feeling a little embarrassed at Mu Qiyue's expressionless profile.
"Hmph, the third son of the Lin family told Mr. Lu that he must tell him the origin of the special white rice so that he can continue to pay tribute to the palace next year. Otherwise, Mu Yue Trading Company's share of the tribute will be canceled on the grounds that the source is unknown." Mu Qi
Yue's voice was calm, but Mu Qingqi could still hear how unhappy he was.
"A good son taught by Mr. Lin." Mu Qingqi was also a little angry at this time. The boss of Muyue Trading Company must be from the royal family, otherwise he would definitely not be able to keep the special white rice.
"No," Mu Qiyue shook his head, "You should say that the Marquis of Hui'an recruited a good son-in-law."
"Fourth brother, you don't want to mess with the Zhao family, do you?" Mu Qiyue is not a good person. If someone wants to snatch food from his mouth, if he doesn't swallow it in one gulp, even if he doesn't know him, Mu Qing
Qi thought so. "Although the Zhao family is in some decline, the emperor still remembers their previous achievements in following the dragon."
Mu Qiyue understood what he meant. After all, he still had to consider the emperor's meaning. "Don't worry, it won't happen for the time being." What Mu Qiyue didn't say was that he didn't want to expose his identity too early.
Now, because the emperor had summoned him once, Prince Qing's Mansion was quarreling over his marriage. One wanted to marry some distant niece of hers, and the other wanted to bring some of her relatives over. He was in Prince Qing's Mansion.
The small courtyard has been occupied by some low-quality "beauties". Every day you come and I are jealous, and the noise is very loud.
If people find out that he is the master behind Mu Yue Trading Company, there will be a huge commotion and a bloody fight for the position of the head wife. The family will also covet Mu Yue Trading Company. It is better to keep a low profile. Anyway, the Lin family
The third child is only a fifth-rank Shaoqing from Guanglu Temple. Lu Mingtao can handle him without any need for him to take action.
"Oh, this is not your style." Mu Qingqi didn't believe it. Although Mu Qiyue looked easy to bully in front of others, behind the scenes he was a master who was determined to retaliate. He would let him go so easily.
The third child of the Lin family?
"A small character is not worthy of my action." Mu Qiyue ignored Mu Qingqi's teasing and shouted directly to the door, "Butler."
"My servant is here." The butler of Prince Qi's Mansion was well-trained and quickly came to Mu Qiyue, "What are your orders, Master Yue?"
"Go and pack half a kilo of your prince's good tea for me." Mu Qiyue said in an unobtrusive manner.
"This?" the butler said in his heart, you are too good at making things difficult for us as servants. The master has not said anything, can I do it for you? The butler pondered and glanced at his prince secretly.
"Go ahead and get it for him." Mu Qingqi waved his hand helplessly and sent the butler away, "Really, will I still refuse to give it to you?"
"Aren't I afraid that you, Brother Qi, will forget things too much?" Mu Qiyue didn't feel embarrassed at all for turning his back on his guests. He stood up and prepared to say goodbye and go back.
"Hey, don't leave yet. I have something else to ask you?" Mu Qingqi pushed him onto the chair again. "I heard that you bought another farm, and it's only 600 acres?"
"Hey, Brother Qi, are you well-informed?" Mu Qiyue raised his eyebrows.
"What kind of information is there? I know the original owner of that Zhuangzi. He was a minor official in the Ministry of Rites. At that time, he bought the Zhuangzi under the name of General Chang's Mansion because he was greedy for cheap. Now that General Chang has come back, he was afraid and sold it to Muyue Trading Company.
." Mu Qingqi told Mu Qiyue the reason, and then persuaded, "Brother Huang will definitely rehabilitate General Chang this time. The property of the General's Mansion that was recovered before must be returned, even if Mu Yue Trading Company does not.
Not immune."
"From General Chang's family?" Mu Qiyue really didn't know the inside story. "Haha." He smiled and shook his head, "Hehehehe."
It didn't matter that he smiled. Mu Qingqi also fainted with laughter. He looked at him with confusion and thought, there must be nothing wrong with him. "Fourth, what's wrong with you?"
"Brother Qi, this Zhuangzi didn't buy it for me." Mu Qiyue stopped laughing, but was still slightly out of breath.
"Didn't I buy it for you?" He was confused. "But I heard that it was Lu Mingtao who bought it?"
"Brother Qi also knows that this special white rice and special watermelon were brought back by Lu Mingtao from a small rural village, right?" Mu Qiyue did not answer his question directly.
"I know, you said it." Mu Qingqi nodded.
"Because the special white rice caused too much trouble, Mu Yue Trading Company changed the way of cooperation with the owner. One hundred acres of it belong to me, and the rest was bought for that person." Mu Qiyue paused.
He paused, "Brother Qi, do you know whether General Chang's grandson is dead or alive?"
Mu Qingqi was even more confused by these two topics. His thoughts jumped too far, "Does this have anything to do with that person?"
"Of course." Mu Qiyue really admired his straightforwardness. Without me, would he have mentioned him in vain? "The owner of the special white rice saved Chang Tianlei."
"He's not dead?" This is shocking news. What's arousing in the capital right now is General Chang's overturning the case. The emperor personally presided over it. In addition, General Chang has returned. The only one he cares about most is
The whereabouts of the bloodline Chang Tianlei. "He, he, where is he?" Mu Qingqi did not dare to speak loudly. Not only did he ask him in a low voice, but he also gestured in the direction of Linjiacun.
"I will be back in about the next year. The benefactor of the Chang family bought Zhuangzi. Do you think General Chang can still want to go back?" Mu Qiyue then brought the topic back.
It's just that Mu Qingqi hasn't recovered from the news that Chang Tianlei is still alive. "No." He nodded blankly.
"How could it be such a coincidence?" He couldn't understand.
"Lu Mingtao only found out about it not long ago." Mu Qiyue explained, "I heard that Chang Tianlei was found by General Chang's former servant, and he lived in seclusion in the countryside. He was afraid that someone would harm him again. And even the people in the palace
Concubine Lan sent people to accompany Chang Tianlei. But Concubine Lan didn’t know.
Where is Chang Tianlei, so you have to keep this matter a secret. No one can tell it, including your family." Mu Qiyue warned him seriously. (To be continued. If you like this work,
