Spring is the time when all things revive, everything looks so beautiful and full of vitality. Whether it is the buds of the inconspicuous grass on the roadside, or the newly broken ice water wrinkled by the breeze, it makes people feel...
Feeling at ease.
At this time, Lu Mingtao stood in front of Fourth Master Mu Qiyue with a bright mood.
"Stop your good mood." From Mu Qiyue's somewhat gloomy tone, it was obvious that his mood was not particularly good.
"Haha, it's rare for me to tell Fourth Master some good news," Lu Mingtao said as he sat on the chair opposite Mu Qiyue and poured a cup of tea. "The stuff here is better than Fourth Master's. This tea is better than mine."
It’s much better there.”
"Didn't you bring me the tea here?" Mu Qiyue glanced sideways at Lu Mingtao, wondering what he was saying.
"Haha, of course the best thing is for you, Fourth Master." Lu Mingtao didn't feel embarrassed at all and laughed twice.
"You'd better tell me important things, otherwise don't blame me for being rude to you." Mu Qiyue was worried about some things, but Lu Mingtao was gloating about his misfortune, which really annoyed him.
"Fourth Master, calm down and have a cup of tea." Lu Mingtao poured a cup of tea for Mu Qiyue with his own hands, "Isn't it just to look at a few women? You can just be perfunctory, why should you take it too seriously?"
If that snicker hadn't been exposed, his persuasion might have comforted Mu Qiyue.
"Is there anyone in the capital who doesn't know?" Mu Qiyue looked at the increasingly unbearable smile on his subordinate and friend's face, and his heart became even more angry.
"Hahahaha." Lu Mingtao finally succeeded, "Now the capital is placing bets on a few young ladies to see which one can win your favor." Lu Mingtao laughed uncontrollably, "The candidate for the wife of the fourth young master of Prince Qing's Palace is unexpectedly
They are all born as concubines, and Princess Qing is really discerning."
Of course, when it comes to royal relatives, their children cannot choose the daughters of some small families as their wives, but no one expected that they would choose from the concubines of some big families. This was a big surprise in the capital. Everyone was surprised.
He said that although Mu Qiyue had been summoned by the emperor, he might have been reprimanded. Therefore, Prince Qing's palace had already given up on this son and randomly gave him a wife.
"Hmph, I guess those people are not willing to marry a person with such a slim future like me." Mu Qiyue said mockingly, his eyes full of sarcasm. This is his relative, in order to exclude him from the selection of the prince's son.
Besides, he actually tampered with his own marriage in such a way.
"Fourth Master, you won't do what they want anyway, so why bother overthinking it?" Lu Mingtao, who finally stopped laughing, said seriously. "Besides, you don't care about Prince Qing's Palace. Sooner or later, I will build another palace for you.
"Lu Mingtao pointed to the sky. Because he established Muyue Trading Company, the emperor made a lot of money for the emperor's private treasury, overtly and covertly. If you can't get fame and fortune, you don't have to focus on the position of Prince Qing.
"The trees want to be quiet, but the wind doesn't stop. A mediocre person disturbs himself." Mu Qiyue said two words lightly, one for himself and one to ridicule others. He had always known that in the eyes of Prince Qing and Princess Qing, he was not only useless,
And if they hadn't been reminded by servants, they might not have noticed his existence. He has understood this fact since he was ten years old.
Therefore, Mu Qiyue's health has always been poor, but he still received no care. When Princess Qing gave birth to Mu Qiyue, it was the time when Prince Qing doted on his concubine the most. At that time, Prince Qing wanted a daughter very much.
The concubine really gave birth to a daughter, and the princess gave birth to a son. Not only that, someone calculated the horoscopes for the two children, saying that the daughter born by the concubine will have a prosperous father, while the son born by the princess will have an unlucky fate, which will affect the entire
The fortune of Prince Qing's Mansion.
Although the fortune teller's words cannot be fully believed, after Mu Qiyue was born, first the princess became seriously ill after childbirth, and then Prince Qing was reprimanded by the late emperor. Several brothers and sisters also became sick and injured, which was like confirming the fortune teller's words.
.The entire palace had an instinctive dislike for the newly born Mu Qiyue.
So Mu Qiyue lived worse than a servant before he was ten years old. It wasn't until he met brothers Mu Qingyu and Mu Qingqi who had not yet become emperors that he had a chance to survive. Otherwise, he would have been unable to survive with his small body.
He would die of illness in a few years, and there would be no chance to save Lu Mingtao.
Although Mu Qingyu never summoned Mu Qiyue after becoming the emperor, it did not mean that they had become unfamiliar with each other. On the contrary, after Mu Qiyue showed his extraordinary business talents, he took on the responsibility of saving money for Mu Qingyu in private.
The function of the small treasury. Lu Mingtao also knew this situation, so he mentioned that if Mu Qiyue wanted such a title, he would be able to get it easily.
"Fourth Master, don't worry about this. Your wife will definitely get the emperor's approval." This was Lu Mingtao's sincere consolation. "Let's talk about something happy." He took a sip of tea and then said, "Lin
The girl has already agreed, and the rice seeds will be prepared before spring plowing, and it looks like the time is almost here."
"Fourth Master is really good at knowing things. How did you know that Miss Lin also has special rice seeds?" Lu Mingtao asked curiously when Mu Qiyue looked like he had known about it for a long time. He was at Lin's house at the time.
When the village and Lin Zhu made the contract, he really believed it when Lin Zhu said that he could only provide seeds for one hundred acres of land, with such sincerity and certainty.
"Everyone is used to leaving a way out for themselves." Mu Qiyue glanced at Lu Mingtao, "If it were you, would you show all your trump cards?"
In fact, Lu Mingtao was just a fan of the authorities. He felt that Lin Zhu, a child in his teens, should not have so much scheming, so he believed him. Now this situation forced him to face the fact that although Lin Zhu was young, he was a little bit scheming.
There are also quite a few facts.
"Miss Lin is really impressive." Lu Mingtao sighed.
"How was the matter at Xiaolin Village handled?" Mu Qiyue had already heard about General Chang's property being confiscated by the government before it was reclaimed by the government.
"Miss Lin has returned the farm to General Chang's Mansion, but Xinzhuangzi is not far away." Lu Mingtao recounted the scene when he met Lin Zhu, "But doesn't General Chang's Mansion know about Miss Lin?
?Otherwise, how could you find her so easily?"
"There should be very few people who know about her existence, and General Chang will not let her be exposed to others prematurely." Mu Qiyue said in a low voice, "There are always rumors in the capital that General Chang's office is selecting Chang Tianlei.
About my wife?"
"Yes, if Miss Lin appears, the position of the head wife will have nothing to do with others." Lu Mingtao nodded. Regardless of whether Chang Tianlei and Lin Zhu have an affair or not, an orphan has taken him in for so long, as long as the matter is spread.
After going out, Chang Tianlei had to marry Lin Zhu for the sake of Lin Zhu and the reputation of General Chang's Mansion.
However, in Lu Mingtao's view, it was impossible for Lin Zhu to marry Chang Tianlei. Firstly, during the few days he lived in Linjia Village, he did not see that Lin Zhu had a special attitude towards Chang Tianlei. Secondly, he
It was discovered that Lin Zhu's feelings toward Chang Tianlei were similar to those between a sister and a younger brother. Lu Mingtao found it funny no matter how a little girl in her teens treated a boy who was five years older than her as her younger brother.
As I thought about it, I laughed unconsciously.
"Is this funny?" Mu Qiyue asked with a frown. He felt that Lu Mingtao laughed too much at his place today.
"Fourth Master, when Chang Tianlei was in Linjia Village, Miss Lin seemed to regard her as a younger brother." Lu Mingtao smiled and said that he once saw Lin Zhu preaching to Chang Tianlei.
"Is there anything wrong?" Mu Qiyue disagreed. Although he heard from Lu Mingtao that this Lin Zhu girl was relatively young, her behavior was not like a child at all. On the contrary, Chang Tianlei
Some previous actions or rumors in the capital made Mu Qiyue feel that he was not familiar with the world and it was natural for him to be preached to.
"This time General Chang's government takes back Miss Lin's farm, Chang Tianlei will also be lectured by her." Lu Mingtao looked like he was watching a good show.
"You seem to be very concerned about this Miss Lin." Mu Qiyue glanced at Lu Mingtao, who was gloating about his misfortune.
"You don't have to worry too much when doing business with Miss Lin." Lu Mingtao thought for a moment and said, "As long as we treat her well here, she will not let us down." Lu Mingtao said with confidence.
"It seems that I have to meet this Miss Lin when I have the opportunity. Otherwise, maybe one day, she poaches my most powerful person, and I won't know about it." Mu Qiyue said jokingly.
.
"What do you want to know, fourth brother?" Suddenly an unpleasant voice came from Mu Qiyue's door.
Mu Qiyue and Lu Mingtao were startled, and both raised their heads to look at the person.
"Master Lu, what good things are you here to give to my incompetent fourth brother?" The visitor pretended to be cool and walked into the house. It was not the middle of summer yet, but he was holding a folding fan in his hand.
, Lu Mingtao’s head is full of black lines.
"I've met the eldest son." The person who came was none other than Mu Qichen, Mu Qiyue's biological eldest brother.
"Master Lu is too polite." Although he said so, Mu Qichen was still very satisfied with Lu Mingtao's courtesy. He sat on the chair bloodlessly. "Fourth brother was talking to Master Lu
What are you talking about? It’s so lively!”
To be honest, the conversation between Mu Qiyue and Lu Mingtao was not lively at all, and the two of them kept their voices as low as possible.
"Haha, the eldest son is laughing." Lu Mingtao said before Mu Qiyue, "The fourth son just asked Lu about the special white rice that was sent as tribute."
"Really?" Mu Qichen also became interested, "How about Mr. Lu also sells some to Prince Qing's Mansion? Don't worry, the price will not be less than what's in the palace." His tone seemed to be that of Prince Qing's prince.
