After chatting with Princess Changmin for a while, Lin Zhu felt that something was not right. The princess seemed to be asking him too many personal questions.
How did she come to the capital? How did she get to know Wang Qingyan and others? Although Lin Zhu had no reason to hide these things, Princess Changmin's actions were indeed a bit suspicious when she was questioning the person she met for the first time.
Princess Changmin also felt that she had asked too deeply, and her face became a little unnatural. In order to relieve her embarrassment, she reached out and picked up a grape and ate it.
Although Mu Qiyue had already told her that these grapes were very delicious, and Princess Changmin had tasted them, she still couldn't help but eat them again.
So Princess Changmin ate several pills in a row unconsciously.
Lin Zhu looked at Princess Changmin's movements and felt a little bit dumbfounded. Why did she get caught up in her words?
"Uh, haha." Princess Changmin also felt something was wrong, and laughed sheepishly. "It seems that not only the snacks you brought are delicious, but also the grapes."
Princess Changmin gently wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, and then said, "However, it seems that the taste is almost the same as the grapes here." Princess Changmin stared at Lin Zhu's face as she spoke.
Lin Zhu couldn't understand what she meant, and thought to herself, this Mu Qiyue must be related to you. When he bought the grapes from me, he said they were for the garden party, otherwise I wouldn't be able to get the grapes from the garden party.
Isn't that an invitation?
However, at this time, Lin Zhu suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind. Could he be testing me?
"This is the honor of the daughter of the people. The daughter of the people also tried to grow some grapes at her home and sold them to Muyue Trading Company a few days ago." You should understand now.
"Oh, it turns out it's you." Princess Changmin finally brought the topic to this point, and she breathed a sigh of relief. "I eat these grapes well, but Xiaosi said that the yield is too small, so I still spent a lot of effort to get them.
I got it somewhere else, I didn’t want to buy it from you.”
Lin Zhu also understood that the root of Princess Changmin's conversation with him was Mu Qiyue.
And she can no longer pretend to be stupid and say that she doesn't know Xiaosi.
"Minnu's farm has always had a cooperative relationship with Mu Yue Trading Company. It just so happened that the Fourth Young Master Mu saw the grapes that Minnu planted this year." The attitude must be respectful, and Lin Zhu also positioned himself as Mu Qiyue.
of partners.
I have never eaten pork but I have also seen a lot of scenes like this in TV novels. When a man’s elders or relatives are friendly, or ask insinuatingly about the relationship between a woman and the man. As long as it doesn’t matter, you must
It must be stated clearly and concisely, and there must be no deviation from the facts, otherwise it will lead to all kinds of doubts, all kinds of speculations, and maybe even misrepresentation.
Therefore, Lin Zhu firmly positioned his relationship with Mu Qiyue as the clearest cooperative relationship between them at present.
"The daughter of the people is also grateful to Fourth Young Master Mu for his kindness in coming to the garden party hosted by Her Royal Highness the Princess to see the world." Lin Zhu expressed sincere and simple gratitude on her face.
"Haha, the rumors about Xiaosi outside are not good. You are a little girl, but you are quite courageous." Princess Changmin raised her eyebrows and was noncommittal about Lin Zhu's answer. There was no sign of satisfaction or dissatisfaction on her face.
.
"Back to the princess, the reputation of Muyue Trading Company has always been very good. The daughter of the people has just arrived and lives in the countryside. Although she has heard about the fourth master Mu, Aunt Chang has taught the women of the people not to listen to the wrong rules and not to speak the wrong words."
You can't say you know or don't know this kind of thing, so Lin Zhu had no choice but to quote some wise words.
"You are very cautious." Although Princess Changmin had now confirmed that Lin Zhu had no other thoughts about Mu Qiyue, she was surprised by Lin Zhu's so discreet reply at such a young age.
Could it be said that General Chang's Mansion taught her on purpose? Princess Changmin looked thoughtfully in the direction of Aunt Chang. But she still remembered that the grandson of the Chang family had not yet made a marriage arrangement.
Thinking of this, Princess Changmin was completely relieved and looked at Lin Zhu with a much kinder look. In her opinion, in addition to her family background, Lin Zhu was indeed a good candidate for his wife in terms of speech and behavior.
Lin Zhu did not expect that Princess Changmin's thoughts would turn to Chang Tianlei, so when Princess Changmin's aura began to change, she simply thought that she had passed the test.
Since she had achieved her goal and Princess Changmin had stayed outside for a long time, she said a few words to Wang Qingyan and others before returning with her entourage.
"Sister Zhu, what did Princess Changmin say to you in the pavilion just now?" Wang Qingyan and others looked at Lin Zhu curiously after Princess Changmin left. Aunt Chang also had a look of concern on her face.
"Actually, it's nothing. She's just curious about my life experience." Lin Zhu said half-truthfully. It's not appropriate to talk about Chang Tianlei and Mu Yue Trading Company under the current circumstances. After all, there are many people talking at the garden party.
.
Moreover, after spending such a long time with Princess Changmin just now, people might guess what she would be like?
"However, our food is gone." Lin Zhu said with some embarrassment. When Princess Changmin left just now, she actually ordered her maid to take away all the snacks and the like.
"It's gone." Wang Qingyan and others didn't care, and it wasn't the time to care about such things.
"Sister Zhu, let me see, you will definitely become famous." Zhang Manyun thought for a while and looked at the seemingly leisurely people around him.
"Should I say this is my honor?" Lin Zhu said with a fake smile.
"You?" Except for Song Hanyu, the other three were all older than Lin Zhu. One of them stretched out a finger and lightly touched Lin Zhu's forehead.
However, this does not mean that a few people will relax their attention on this matter, because there will definitely be many people who will indirectly or directly ask Wang Qingyan and Zhang Manyun about Lin Zhu.
Since Dong Yuzhen and Song Hanyu are not well known in the capital, it is better for them.
So Zhang Manyun had secretly reminded Wang Qingyan how to respond. This also indirectly protected Lin Zhu.
And Mu Qiyue, who was hanging out among the young masters of various aristocratic families, also heard the reports from people around him.
"What is the imperial aunt doing?" Mu Qiyue felt a little headache. After all, Lin Zhu's identity was not easy to reveal to the world. The more she was exposed, the less good it would be for Muyue Trading Company.
"It seems that the Fourth Young Master is not very satisfied with Brother Du's words?" While Mu Qiyue was thinking, an uncomfortable voice sounded. The speaker was the one who lost the hunt with Mu Qiyue that day.
Qi Er.
Mu Qiyue then remembered that now was the time to comment on calligraphy. Du Bin, the second son of the Du family, had just finished writing a calligraphy.
And Qi Er's words were just to incite hatred for him, making his already unpopular situation even worse. No, some of the classmates around him who belonged to the same academy as Du Bin looked at him a little bit.
It means condemnation.
Mu Qiyue stood up slowly and walked to Qi Er. "Qi Er, I haven't seen the words yet. Which of your eyes has seen that I am dissatisfied?" She had already broken up with him, and besides,
Qi Er was just a lackey of one of his brothers, so Mu Qiyue didn't give him any face.
Qi Er stood aside, his face flushed, but Mu Qiyue was Princess Changmin's nephew after all, he didn't dare to do anything to Mu Qiyue in this place?
Du Bin is not a person who likes to show off. Today, he was chased by Qi Er and others before he picked up a pen to write. To be honest, he was not very confident in his handwriting.
Hearing Qi Er's voice just now, he felt a little unhappy in his heart. So he looked at Qi Er, who was being squeezed by Mu Qiyue.
"Second Young Master Qi, Du's calligraphy is really mediocre and makes you laugh." As soon as Du Bin said this, Qi Er's expression turned even worse. His words turned out to mean that he disliked his calligraphy.
It was like deliberately dragging Mu Qiyue to act like a spearman. Everyone here was not a shrewd person, so they all understood Qi Er's dark thoughts.
Although he doesn't show it now, he will definitely be estranged from Qi Er in the future.
Mu Qiyue looked at the scene in front of him with some amusement, sighing secretly that Qi Er really stole the chicken but lost the rice. He wanted to make his reputation worse, but unexpectedly, Du Bin turned it upside down with just one sentence.
He glanced at Du Bin. He was a very upright and clear person. In addition, Mr. Du was currently supervising the winery in his village, and it was said that Du Bin would also be involved, so Mu Qiyue listed Du Bin in the list.
In the list of contacts.
"Brother Du, I'm not good at my studies. I really shouldn't comment on your handwriting arbitrarily, but since Qi Er said it, I'll join in the fun," Mu Qiyue walked to the table and looked at Du Bin's handwriting.
.
Although there are some shortcomings in the font shape, the writing is strong and strong, which shows that Du Bin also put a lot of thought into it.
"Brother Du's writing is so sharp that Mu can't match it." Du Bin also knew the rumors about Mu Qiyue, but had never seen him. He thought he was just a swinger, but he didn't expect that he would be punished with a few words.
The unruly Qi Er did not offend himself.
Of course, with Mu Qiyue's identity, although he seems not to be under the protection of Prince Qing's Palace now, he is under the care of Princess Changmin. He could have ignored this, but he didn't expect that his words contained some good intentions.
So he nodded slightly to Mu Qiyue to express his gratitude.
Mu Qiyue was worried about the situation over at Lin Zhu, so he nodded slightly and left the pavilion where these people gathered. He took Mu Yun with him and walked on the stone road in the garden.
"Fourth Master, do you want to see Miss Lin?" Mu Yun asked in a low voice.
"Now is not the time. I guess that little girl might curse me?" Mu Qiyue smiled helplessly, feeling a little speechless that his temporary kindness had brought her such trouble.
"Besides, I can also detect a little of the emperor's thoughts. She is too thoughtful, and Lin Zhu is the bigger one." Mu Qiyue shook his head with a smile.
But Mu Yun behind him looked at Mu Qiyue in front of him with some surprise, thinking, this is not a problem with Miss Lin’s age, right? (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes.
