Chapter 111: Mountains Have Trees and Trees Have Branches (3)
"It seems that my little imperial sister has really grown up, and the people around her can't even say a word." Du Weizhen pretended to be lost and turned his head sadly, and his heavy eyes made people feel that he was really sad.
Du Yueyan has had a deep relationship with this compatriot's royal brother since she was a child, and she couldn't see him sad, so she said with a look of remorse and chagrin...... No, it's Mu Shengbai to meet, and I won't dare to do it again in the future. ”
Du Weizhen was skeptical, "Really? ”
Du Yueyan nodded solemnly, eager to raise four fingers and swear to the sky to show her determination, but who knows what she was thinking in her heart.
"But......" Du Weizhen restrained his sad expression, and the corners of his mouth hooked up the arc of his belly, "Even if you want to see Shengbai in the future, I won't necessarily meet you." ”
"What do you mean?" Du Yueyan was frightened by Du Weizhen's expression, with her understanding of her prince's brother, once he showed this expression, someone would definitely be unlucky, and this time it seemed to be her turn.
Du Weizhen didn't answer, just smiled suspiciously, laughing so that Du Yueyan was uncomfortable, as if she had been crawled up to her neck by some slimy and wet creature, and she was uncomfortably tight.
"Anyway, you have promised that you will not go to see Shengbai again without my consent, why are you asking so much, my good imperial sister." Du Weizhen coldly dropped this sentence and left decisively, leaving behind Du Yueyan, who had no love behind her.
Du Weizhen's words were like tens of thousands of ants that had been gnawing at her heart, prompting her to make a big decision, and she would definitely go to Mu Shengbai again to ask for clarification when the time came!
The imperial examination was approaching, and people who stayed in inns outside the city also flocked to the imperial city.
Mu Shengbai leaned against the window of the restaurant, looking at the flow of people below, most of them were richly dressed and polite, but there were also a few Although the whole body was wrapped very tightly, it could be seen from the color of their exposed eyes that they were not from Kunguo, and blue eyes were the characteristics of Yidan people.
I saw that they followed the flow of people to the city, and their behavior was no different from that of the teenager who was rushing to take the exam next to them, because the flow of people in the imperial city was too large these days, so it was expressly forbidden to ride horses or carriages.
Mu Shengbai kept watching the few Yidan people enter the city together, and then separated, hiding in the crowd.
He was fascinated, and suddenly felt that there were a few sharp eyes looking at him, and when he looked over, he saw a group of men in relatively plain clothes standing in the crowd looking up at him, Mu Shengbai didn't expect to be discovered, so he dodged in and closed the window.
These people can find that they seem to have some skills, but they don't know what these martial arts people are doing in the imperial examination.
Back to the Mu Mansion, Du Lai brought the account book to Mu Shengbai, and told him that the day after tomorrow is the day of the monthly money, although there are not many people in the house, but the miscellaneous things add up to a lot of money, fortunately, he brought a lot of silver taels before coming to the imperial city, but it is enough to support the expenses of the house for several months.
But it is not a long-term solution to sit on the short, and you still have to open a few of your own shops.
Mu Shengbai first took out most of the silver taels he brought and asked Du Lai to put them in the treasury as expenses in the house, and then wrote to Mu Shengyun and asked him to send a few shopkeepers over, and by the way, take more silver taels.
Thinking of the Yidan people and those people in the martial arts he saw today, Mu Shengbai asked him to send more guards over, and now there are no guards in the Mu Mansion, so he just came over to watch, and he was relieved to use the people in the villa.
Mu Shengyun received the express letter a day later, and immediately arranged it in person after reading it, and selected a few very capable and trustworthy shopkeepers, telling them where to go and what to do, and letting them all listen to Mu Shengbai's arrangement.
Several shopkeepers should be in unison.
Because the business of Lan Wu Pavilion, Rejuvenation Pavilion and other shops is very good, and the silver taels that can be taken to Mu Shengbai are also a huge amount of money, and there is no problem at all to support him to open a few shops.
As for the problem of guards, it is better to solve it, the guards sent from Liuyun Villa at the beginning are all elites, and he directly selected ten for them to escort the money and these shopkeepers to the imperial city at that time.
"Brother Shengyun, but Brother Shengbai is coming back." A thin little girl rushed over and hugged his thigh, feeling the girl's weakness, Mu Shengyun's heart hurt, and he bent down to hold the girl on his lap.
Ning Qingqing's face was already small, and the deeper the poisoning, the two sides of his cheeks were already sunken, and he could only see a pair of big grape-like eyes, blue eyelids, his face was pale without a little blood, and even his lips were dead white, which was very terrifying.
Mu Shengyun scratched the girl's nose distressedly, and pretended to laugh, "Brother Shengbai is still busy in the imperial city, I'm afraid I won't be able to come back to see Qingqing." ”
After Shengbai left, he entrusted the three children to him. If he was still a little reluctant to them at the beginning, then after getting along for such a long time, they were like his younger brothers and sisters in his heart, and he was also very distressed to see that they were getting weaker and weaker.
That day, he got the news of Qingqing and Zongbei's poisoning, he rushed to Jinling City non-stop, Zongbei's poisoning was not deep, and he easily solved it with the antidote pill left by Shengbai, but Qingqing's poisoning was too deep, and the antidote pill could not be solved.
Although he has also practiced medical skills, he has only tasted it at a superficial level, and he can't compare to being white, and he can't invite outsiders to heal him, otherwise once his identity is revealed, the consequences are unimaginable.
Mu Shengyun felt very uncomfortable in his heart, seeing that Ning Qingqing was weakening day by day.
When he was still immersed in his thoughts, a small soft hand covered the back of his hand, and when he looked up, he saw Ning Qingqing looking at him with concern on his face, and comforted him in a low voice: "Brother Shengyun, don't feel sorry for Qingqing, Qingqing doesn't hurt." ”
Mu Shengyun's eyes were hot, and he only felt that his heart was pinched by a big hand, these children were really sensible and distressing, whenever he was uncomfortable about this matter, Qingqing, who should have been more sad, always comforted her by his side, even if it was poisonous, she always hugged Mu Shengyun and cried while saying that as long as Brother Shengyun hugged him, it would be fine.
How can such a sensible child bear this great pain.
"It would be nice if I could see Brother Shengbai before Qingqing leaves." Ning Qingqing buried his face in Mu Shengyun's chest and whispered his inner expectations.
Mu Shengyun seemed to be awakened by this sentence, and said in surprise: "Qingqing, do you really want to see Brother Shengbai?" Shall we let Brother Shengbai come back? ”
Ning Qingqing lifted Lian up, his originally dull eyes suddenly lit up, and then darkened again, biting his lower lip and shaking his head.
