"No, I got a little cold last night, and I came here early in the morning. I'm a little tired now, and I want to rest for a while. Go ahead and greet the two young masters." I hope Xuanyuan Yi will stop looking for her like last night. trouble.
Unexpectedly, Xuanyuan Yi didn't say much about Murong Shuqing's unwillingness to accompany him, just looked at her with a smile. Murong Shuqing took a book from the shelf and let him read it, ignoring him.
"Okay, then let's go." Said, the three of them left the round table, ready to leave. Xuanyuan Yi's handsome face still had a smile on his face. He glanced at Murong Shuqing who was leaning against the bookshelf, and suddenly burst out laughing and stepped out of the bamboo house first. This smile made Pei Che and Murong Xinghun laugh at a loss, inexplicable.
"Yeah." He replied softly and didn't look at them again. Although his eyes were looking at the book, Murong Shuqing's mind was shocked by the laughter. It can be seen that Xuanyuan Yi is very interested in her, and it is very easy to be attracted to such a handsome and handsome man, but she is not really Murong Shuqing, I don't know when, this bracelet has changed again. , If you are not sure that you will stay here forever, you will be tempted and emotional, you can only harm others and yourself. Even if she stayed here forever, she would not be able to accept the marriage of three wives and four concubines. At that time, she had already agreed, only to find out that the entrustment was not human. How could she be so embarrassed
The sun was shining outside, the lake was clear, and the cool breeze made the pages of the book rustled in his hands. Murong Shuqing leaned against the window, letting the breeze blow across his face, looking at the vast bamboo forest like a green sea, he couldn't help smiling. That's all, emotional things, let's go. She was used to being indifferent, and if she really fell in love with someone, she wouldn't be able to make firewood and fire and shake the world. That being the case, why should she care too much, love is just a part of her life.
Still smiling, but this time Murong Shuqing closed the book and took the ledger handed over by Ziyuan, and his mind was caught in the account.
Ziyuan poured out the cooling tea, brewed a new cup of tea and put it on the table, and then whispered to Murong Shuqing before the desk to calculate the accounts: "Miss, Master Fu is here, and now he is waiting in Guanyu Tower. ."
After a long time, Murong Shuqing came back to his senses from the ledger, "What is he doing here?"
"I said I'm here to send a post." Ziyuan put the book that Murong Shuqing handed over on the shelf, and served the freshly brewed tea.
"Is it necessary for him to come in person to send the message?" After taking the tea, Murong Shuqing sighed inwardly. After three years here, these girls have served her so well. She was not used to it at first, but now she is enjoying it very much. People are really lazy.
"I sent someone to deliver it a few times before, but you asked the steward to go. This time, I was afraid that you wanted to sell his face, so I came in person."
The economy of the East Yu Kingdom is dominated by the Huo family who started out with horses in the north, and the Cang Yue Kingdom in the west. There was no economic development at first, but in the past two years, a misty mountain village has appeared on the border to do the border trade business between the two countries. People know whether they are from Dongyu or Cangyue, but they also have considerable influence in the two countries. The east and south sides used to be the Murong family, the An family, and the Fu family. Later, because Murong Xiang had no business skills, the Murong family gradually declined, and the An family gained momentum. Although Mr. Fu was considered a good businessman, it was a pity that he had no sons and only one family member. Female, the Fu family is also facing a crisis. In the past three years, the Murong family has become stronger and stronger, and they are already on a par with the An family, and they are even more dominant than the Fu family.
Today, Fu Bowen personally came to deliver posts, mostly because the Murong family, which has always only produced raw materials such as cotton and silk, has also been engaged in the cloth business in the past two years.
"Okay, let's go and have a look." Murong Shuqing stretched and closed the ledger tiredly. Back then, under pressure from her father, she studied finance. In fact, she personally liked to study archaeology with her grandfather, and after graduation, she worked in her father's company. One year, I really don’t like to be entangled in the return on investment, financing risks, and business entertainment all day long. Under the persuasion of my mother and brothers, my father finally agreed to her to study archaeology with her grandfather. After going around a circle, she still couldn't get out of the business world. This time, she jumped in voluntarily. Sometimes life is really interesting.
Walking leisurely along the way, Ziyuan followed behind Murong Shuqing, guessing Fu Bowen's intention, thoughtfully.
"Master Fu is really a rare visitor!" Walking leisurely, a clear voice sounded after stepping into the Guanyu Tower.
Hearing the voice, Fu Bowen raised his head to look at Murong Shuqing who had just entered the door. He was wearing a light green shirt but couldn't hide his elegance. If it was in the past, he would never have bothered to spend more time with an unreasonable young lady, but Murong Shuqing changed his original style after taking over the Murong family three years ago. He was too arrogant and suffered a lot in the past three years. He also ridiculed that there was no one in the Murong family, but now he didn't dare to underestimate this woman who always had a light smile and a harmless face.
"Hehe, I came here today to send a message to Miss Murong." Putting away the light in his eyes, Fu Bowen smiled and handed the gilded message to Ziyuan who was standing beside him.
"Mr. Fu is too polite, just ask someone to pass on a message, please go here." Looking at the post handed over by Ziyuan, Murong Shuqing nodded, did not take it, just smiled and greeted .
Seeing that Murong Shuqing didn't answer the post, Fu Bowen simply stated his intention, "Don't worry, don't worry, this month's eighteenth is my husband's 60th birthday, and Miss Murong will definitely appreciate your face!"
"It turned out to be Master Fu's birthday, so of course it must be there." Sixtieth birthday? This Hongmen banquet is unavoidable.
"Good! Good!" Picking up the tea on the table, Fu Bowen asked casually, "The Murong family cloth workshop has done a great job in the past two years, but it was a pity that it didn't participate in the competition for royal brocade last year! Interested in joining?"
He clearly hoped that they would not participate, and did not know how many small gestures behind his back, and now he is still pretending to be sorry, Murong Shuqing smiled secretly, but still drank tea calmly.
"The Murong family has been engaged in the cloth business for a short time, and their skills are not mature. This imperial item must be exquisite and excellent, and it is better to choose one in a thousand miles. My Murong family has no intention of competing. It is just that Lord Rong has repeatedly asked us to participate, and now we are not I don't know what to do." Fu Bowen let out a sigh of relief, but his eyes darkened because of the words behind him.
"Miss Murong is very polite. The products produced by Su Nishang are not vulgar. With the participation of the Murong family, this battle of royal brocade will definitely be worth seeing." Fu Bowen knew that what he said was not just flattering words, although Su Nishang was a The cloth business has only started in the past two years, but because the Murong family produces their own raw materials, the cost is low, and they do not know where to find the two apprentices of Luo Yunniang, the "first needle in the world". One is good at dyeing cloth, and the color is bright and durable ; One is good at embroidery, and the embroidered objects are like living things.
Now, the business of Fujia Caiyunfang has decreased by 40 to 50%. Everyone also sees that the business can only continue after the royal brocades have been produced by Caiyunfang for many years.
"Where, I'm just doing my best." After Murong Shuqing finished speaking, he picked up the tea he had just brewed and looked at the scenery outside the window leisurely.
"It's getting late, the old man is leaving, Miss Murong will be there early!" Fu Bowen has been in the shopping mall for many years, how could he not see that Murong Shuqing had no intention of continuing to talk, so he got up to leave.
"Of course! Ziyuan, send Master Fu."
"Yes, Master Fu, please."
Early summer was another season that she liked, and Murong Shuqing was quite at ease walking on the trail. As the sun sets in the west, facing the afterglow, smelling the lotus fragrance brought by the breeze, I feel at ease. This year, Murong Xinghun was twelve years old. In three years, he could slowly try to manage the business of the Murong family. When he turned eighteen, he would hand over the Murong family to him. Anyway, I am not Murong Shuqing, I will find a quiet place to live in another courtyard, and I will be at ease with the fragrant tea and wine, green mountains and green waters.
Murong Shuqing was immersed in the good mood of happy landscapes, and two figures in a hurry not far away came into her sight. She squinted slightly, one of them should be Murong Xiang's second wife Yun Peihua, and the other small Who is the girl? They were all in a state of embarrassment, and the two of them were still in a panic. They stretched their waists. They were bored anyway, so Murong Shuqing got up and walked towards the two of them.
"Madam, please, save Miss. Miss is really suffering!" Xiaochan pulled Yun Peihua's skirt, her face was wrinkled from crying, she sneaked out this time to beg Madam , If Madam doesn't save Miss, then Miss will be finished!
"Why don't I want to save Wan'er, but, what can I do as a woman?" Yun Peihua listened to Xiaochan's words, and her heart was tied together, poor child!
"Go and beg the master, after all, the young lady is also the flesh and blood of the master." Xiaochan cried so much that her eyes were swollen like walnuts, but this was the hope of saving the young lady. She desperately grabbed the corner of Yun Peihua's skirt, like Grab a life-saving straw.
"When has the master heard what I said, except for Murong Shuqing, when has he cared about other children?!" After speaking, the two hugged each other and cried bitterly.
Murong Shuqing leaned against the door of the Izuyun Pavilion, watching the two of them cry so hard that they couldn't make a sound anymore, they had to cry blindly.
"Today is so lively." The lazy voice sounded, and the two inside fell to the ground like a ghost, and Xiao Chan was so scared that her whole body was shaking.
Murong Shuqing walked in front of the two, Yun Peihua hurriedly stood up, wiped the tears from his face, and said tremblingly, "Shu Qing, you—why are you here?" Yun Peihua held the silk scarf in her hand, fearful in her heart Can't speak clearly. Although Murong Shu has become much gentler in recent years, after years of oppression, fear still looms over her.
"Whose girl is this? The eyes are very good." Murong Shuqing looked at the little girl who was almost curled up on the ground, but felt helpless, reminding her that everyone saw her like a ghost three years ago. I like to kneel when I have nothing to do, and I can't wait to crawl on the ground. Now it's easier and better, and a little girl appears again.
"Slave... My servant, Xiaochan, serves Miss Wanru." Murong Shuqing frowned when Xiaochan cried hoarsely and tremblingly.
"Wan Ru? Then why are you here?" After thinking for a long time, she finally thought of Murong Wanru, she was Murong Xiang's first daughter, and she got married four years ago, because Murong Shu was very charming and insisted on being the eldest lady. Therefore, Murong Wanru can only be called Miss Wanru.
Yun Peihua hurriedly said before Xiaochan could speak: "She, she came back to get things for Wan Ru, so she will leave immediately."
"Take something? Take what?" The tone of voice was soothing, it should be like a spring breeze, but the two people who were kneeling and standing suddenly lost their voices. Married daughter, what else can come back to get, if the master misunderstands that she often gives things from Murong's family to Wan Ru, that's okay? !
"Get up, you should be very clear about what you are doing here, let's be honest." Murong Shuqing sat down on the stone bench in the courtyard.
After a while, Xiaochan not only didn't get up, but crawled on her knees in front of Murong Shuqing. She didn't dare to pull the corners of her skirt, so she could only kowtow in front of her, just shouting, "Miss, save Miss. , I beg you!" He kept repeating until his head was bleeding.
"Okay, clarify what's going on, stop kowtowing, get up and talk!" Murong Shuqing pulled Xiao Chan up, only to see that her forehead was already bloody.
Xiao Chan couldn't believe it, the eldest lady was willing to listen to her, no matter what, she had to try if she had a chance to save the lady, "When the lady first married into the Li family, the Li family treated the lady well, but it's been a year since she married her. Before she was pregnant, Mr. Li gave his uncle a concubine, and she was his cousin. Since then, the uncle has been a lot colder to the young lady. Two years ago, Mr. Li somehow said that the young lady was nothing at Murong's house, and he didn't help him at all. Without their Li family, it would be even worse for the young lady. After that, the uncle married a brothel woman as his concubine, and soon the woman became pregnant. She took advantage of the uncle's favor and wronged the young lady for wanting to harm the child in her womb. The uncle beat her in anger. Miss, the next day is slightly unsatisfactory, the uncle will fight against the young lady. Last month, the concubine wronged the young lady again and wanted to harm the young master. Losing the face of the Li family, the young lady won't look at the doctor anymore, I'm afraid... I'm afraid..." Really unable to speak, Xiao Chan fell to the ground, sobbing so hard that she could no longer speak. Yun Peihua also wiped away her tears, her son—
Murong Shuqing didn't speak, just sat quietly, Xiao Chan and Yun Peihua didn't dare to say a word, and the whole Izumo Pavilion was terribly silent.
"Zi Yuan!" I don't know when, Zi Yuan was already standing at the door of Izuyun Pavilion, and when she heard Murong Shuqing call her, she walked in quickly.
"Find a doctor to show this girl, go to Li's house with her tomorrow, and bring Wan Ru back, saying that the old lady misses her daughter and she will live there for a few days. If they embarrass you, you can tell Li Dongming that next month Wang Zhifu Inspect Rong County and ask him if he is ready?! Naturally he knows how powerful he is, so he dares not let go." After Murong Shuqing finished speaking, he got up and left Izuyun Pavilion, and had to sigh once again the sorrow of women during this period. In modern times, breaking the law happens from time to time, let alone in this day and age. If her mother's family is not prosperous, even if she is beaten to death, no one dares to control it.
"Yes! Master Xinghun and the two young masters have returned, and the food is ready."
"I'm tired today, let's bring the food to Suiyuan. Tell Xinghun, starting tomorrow, Qixuan will teach him to ride horses, and let him learn by heart!"
The voices of the two gradually faded away, but the two in front of the Izumo Pavilion have not recovered. After a long time, Yun Peihua whispered: "It seems to be saved, it seems to be saved." Yun Peihua cried and pulled up Xiaochan who was still dumbfounded, but this time it was tears of joy.
Xiao Chan still couldn't believe that the eldest lady actually agreed to save the young lady, and also promised to take the young lady home. But although the eldest miss is very favored, can she decide without having to tell the master? It doesn't matter, as long as you are willing to save Miss.
