Chapter 115

Commander Ji welcomed the group to the mansion and gave them a warm reception.

Mrs. Ji held Du Shaoxuan's hand to talk homely and affectionately, not only did not rely on the old to sell the old, but also spoke very funny, which made people feel like a spring breeze.

Everyone gathered around Du Shaoxuan to talk, gossiping and affectionate.

In particular, Ji Xiaoman sat next to Du Shaoxuan with an innocent and innocent appearance, and he kept talking to the young handsome brother, his voice was too sweet, and he spoke very spontaneously.

Her three siblings acted as divine assists, and everyone likes how cute and lovable my Xiaoman is, and everyone likes her words to raise the price.

Even if they are too impatient, they can't see it directly, and they can't do anything about it. It's too difficult to see the little general.

Du Shaoxuan just listened, but did not express any opinion.

Ji's family has two wives, one surnamed Lu, with two children, Ji Cheng and Ji Yu, and the other is the He family. She gave birth to three boys and one girl, and Ji Xiaoman is her only daughter.

He has high hopes for his daughter and wants to marry her to Du Shaoxuan. He usually instills these concepts with her. Ji Xiaoman also wants to marry beautifully.

Unfortunately, Mrs. Ji and General Ji were a little displeased, so they winked at Ji Xiaoman, girls should be more reserved.

Besides, they are more optimistic about the eldest daughter Ji Cheng, who is dignified and steady.

Mr. Lu held his five-year-old son's head, his eyes full of tenderness, and he sat quietly, unlike Mr. He who brushed his presence from time to time.

Ji Cheng was also very quiet, sometimes he couldn't help but sneak a glance at Mu Wanqing, the more he looked, the more familiar he felt.

Mu Wanqing ate snacks, drank tea and watched a play, but no family with a group of wives and concubines would be peaceful.

Especially this kind of two-bedroom, it's even more troublesome.

Competing for favor, interests, and inheritance rights is a battlefield without a whistle.

However, most men feel that wives and concubines get along with each other, live in harmony, and their children are friendly, and there is no problem.

Ji Xiaoman is pretty and cute, while Ji Cheng has the demeanor of a general girl, a completely different type.

Ji Xiaoman personally took out a pot of cut melons and fruits from the kitchen, "Brother Young Master, try the melons and fruits from the Western Regions, they are delicious, I cut them myself."

Her brothers winked and joked, "Young Master, our family got a few, Xiaoman only got one, and he was reluctant to eat it, but now he is."

Du Shaoxuan didn't seem to notice anything, "Thank you, Qingping, come and try different fruits and vegetables, you love fresh things."

The first piece of melon and fruit he picked up was handed to Mu Wanqing. Mu Wanqing looked at it and couldn't help being happy. Isn't the red naan watermelon?

Is it watermelon now, or courgette?

She took a sip. The water was okay, but the taste was weak. "This watermelon is not very sweet, so it needs to be improved."

Du Shaoxuan suddenly became energetic, "Can we plant it in our Xiliang?"

Influenced by Mu Wanqing, he was very interested in crops.

Mu Wanqing's enthusiastic popular science, "Yes, watermelon can grow in sandy soil, clay soil, and wasteland on hillsides. Choose fertile and loose loam soil, supplement it with sufficient sunlight, plant scientifically, and then carry out seed breeding. A more ideal taste." Note (1)

Sure enough, there are a lot of new things here, and seeing the watermelon as soon as you arrive, it is a worthwhile trip.

Du Shaoxuan's heart moved, "What about that kind?"

"This is it." Mu Wanqing spat out a watermelon seed, which seemed to be able to be planted on a large scale.

There are too few melons and fruits these days, and she can't eat them enough.

Du Shaoxuan carefully put the watermelon seeds aside, "Okay, I'll collect them first, and I'll bring them to you when the time comes."

"Good." Mu Wanqing happily took a big mouthful of watermelon, which needs to be improved.

However, she is not an expert in this area.

"Help me search for people who grow watermelons, and I'll take a few back."

"Okay, I'll deal with it." Du Shaoxuan took it all in, and his gentle and considerate attitude made people around him jealous.

Ji Xiaoman said innocently and romantically, "Brother young handsome, is this Qingping girl a farmer? It's true, I don't know if it's true."

She connoted that Mu Wanqing was a farmer, but neither Du Shaoxuan nor Mu Wanqing looked down on farmers, and the country was based on farming.

"She must be right, no one is smarter than her."

This evaluation was too high, and the Ji family's expressions changed a bit.

Ji Xiaoman looked innocent and innocent as a little girl, "I haven't asked for advice yet. What is Miss Qingping's surname, and what did her parents do? What did your ancestors do?"

"My surname is Mu, as for my ancestor..." Mu Wanqing thought about it seriously, "I was an official. Of course, it doesn't matter."

She doesn't rely on her ancestors for food.

A trace of contempt flashed in Ji Xiaoman's eyes, and his smile became more brilliant, "Because it's a sesame petty official, isn't it important?"

Without answering, Mu Wanqing asked, "What did the ancestors of the Ji family do?"

Whose ancestors are not mud legs? It's not an aristocratic family that has been passed down for thousands of years, so what is noble?

Ji Xiaoman looked proud, "We have been high-ranking military officials from generation to generation. In my father's generation, he was a third-rank commander who was stationed in the local area."

"Oh." Mu Wanqing's attitude was cold, "It's hereditary..."

She pushed away the watermelon handed over, "Du Shaoxuan, I ate two pieces, it's not too sweet." There was a little disgust.

Du Shaoxuan had to take it back and eat it by himself, "Let's go to the mutual market and see if there is anything you like. Your vision is so high, alas."

"Uncle Ji, when will the mutual market open?"

Commander Ji looked at Mu Wanqing several times, what is the origin of this girl? He actually called the young marshal by his name, with such a casual attitude.

"The day after tomorrow."

Ji Xiaoman couldn't hold it back in one breath, it was terribly uncomfortable, "Miss Qingping doesn't seem to be very satisfied with the hereditary system? This is a rule set when the country was founded."

Wanting to dig a hole for her is still a little tender, Mu Wanqing shook her head with a smile, "That won't work, I just think it's more interesting to create a world without Zu Yin."

Ji Xiaoman couldn't help laughing, "I have to say, you are more naive than me, and you still want to work hard on your own. The world is not as simple as you think. Do you think it is easy to be an official?"

"If nothing else, let's talk about the imperial examination. After ten years of hard work, I finally won the first prize, and then I was awarded a local county magistrate and a seventh-rank official. This is still one in ten thousand."

Mu Wanqing listened with a smile on her chin, and suddenly said, "No, usually the champion is assigned to the Hanlin Academy, and the official is from the sixth rank."

Ji Xiaoman choked, and then taught her a serious lesson, "I mean, being an official is not easy, you don't have to work hard to succeed."

Mu Wanqing wasn't angry yet, but Du Shaoxuan was unhappy, her face sank, "For you, it's as difficult as the sky, but it's quite simple for her, of course, people are different, and you can't ask everyone to follow suit. She is just as smart, after all, there is only one... Qing Ping in this world."

Ji Xiaoman was stabbed with a knife, the whole person was not well, and he was too partial, what does it mean that there is only one Qingping? Is it easy to be an official? joke.

The elder Ji's brows were slightly wrinkled, and he said half-jokingly, "Young Commander, my sister and you are also childhood sweethearts, why are you helping an outsider?"

He is the eldest son, he was raised as an heir, and he is naturally high-spirited.

Du Shaoxuan couldn't help being anxious, for fear that Mu Wanqing would misunderstand, "Nothing, I'll see you once every two or three years, I'm not familiar with it."

Mu Wanqing glanced at him lightly, this person really is... love wants to live, evil wants to die.

"Got it, eat melon."

Du Shaoxuan took the watermelon from her hand, no matter how ugly the Ji brothers and sisters looked, "By the way, Uncle Ji, do you have kapok in your house?"

Commander Ji was stunned for a moment, "You are joking, this is the unique scenery in Du Shuai's mansion. How can we have a place like this?"

Du Shaoxuan pondered for a while, "Then, I ask you one thing."

"Don't dare, don't dare, the young marshal does what he tells you." Commander Ji knows Du Shaoxuan's character very well, and that's all.

Du Shaoxuan directly asked, "I want kapok, seeds are fine, the more the better."

This is the fastest way. As the highest commander of Ganzhou City, Commander Ji, some people do everything possible to please him.

Commander Ji thought it was something difficult, "It's simple, I'll spread the news to businessmen in various countries to see if they have it in their hands."

"You can bring any strange things, and offer a bounty." Mu Wanqing interjected, intending to go in two parallel lines, and the officials will come forward to collect things faster.

Generally speaking, the best things do not appear in the mutual market, they have been intercepted long ago, or sent to the rich and powerful.

They go to the mutual market privately, and they are more likely to find leaks.

This is what the two negotiated in advance, Du Shaoxuan nodded slightly, "Yes, I want something that we don't have in Daqi."

Commander Ji gave Mu Wanqing a fixed look with a strange expression. Why does it seem like she is in charge? Is it an illusion?

Mu Wanqing let him look at it generously.

"Young Master, what do you want?"

Du Shaoxuan clearly gave a reasonable reason, "The emperor's birthday is coming, I want to prepare a unique gift for the emperor."

The reason is very good, and Commander Ji suddenly realized, "So it is, it should be, I will order it."

He called the housekeeper and gave some instructions, "You still live in the yard before, I'll keep it for you."

Du Shaoxuan looked at Mu Wanqing, one was in the inner courtyard, the other was in the hospital, the distance was too far, and he was worried. "No, I've already had someone book the Yuelai Inn."

He's expression changed, "Yuelai Inn?"

Du Shaoxuan raised his eyebrows, his eyes sharp, "Is there any problem?"

He was startled and shook his head subconsciously, "No no, I mean, why do you want to stay in an inn? Do you think our Jifu is not well entertained?"

Why is that unlucky place? She still remembers the humiliation her brother and nephew suffered there, and the nephew still has a shadow.

If it wasn't for Commander Ji to stop her, she would have wanted to set the Yuelai Inn on fire.

Du Shaoxuan politely declined, "Thank you, but it's not convenient for me to bring friends here this time."

Sure enough, it was because of Mu Wanqing that they refused to live in Ji Mansion, and the Ji family had different expressions.

Mrs. Ji couldn't help but look at Mu Wanqing a few more times. She had to say that she was a very special girl, with a powerful aura and firm eyebrows.

Holding back his disgust for Mu Wanqing, the He family chuckled, '"What's the matter? Our Ji family has a house, are we afraid we can't fit in a few girls? We just live in Lanfang Pavilion and live with Xiaoman, Xiaoman, treat your guests well."

Only in this way can we have more contact with Du Shaoxuan and have the opportunity to develop feelings.

As for Mu Wanqing, it was just a channel for their mother and daughter to ascend.

Whoever sabotages her plan is her enemy of life and death.

Her wishful thinking sounded loudly, but Mu Wanqing refused directly.

"Thank you for Meiyi, but I'm used to being free and unrestrained, and I don't like to be restrained. The inn is more suitable for me to live in."

The He family was very conceited from the beginning, and she was considered one of the best ladies in this city, and was held in high esteem by others.

"Miss Qingping's temperament is a bit insistent, and it doesn't seem to be very good? The young marshal came to Ganzhou City on purpose. One is for official business, and the other is to communicate with Jifu. You will ruin his affairs."

Mu Wanqing smiled coldly, "Du Shaoxuan, why don't you stay here? I'll stay in the inn alone."

Du Shaoxuan didn't want to live in Ji's house either. Ji Xiaoman's brother and sister's intentions were so obvious, it was the fools who stayed.

"Where you are, I am where I am. I have to accompany you to be at ease."

He's heart is stumped, but he attaches so much importance to her, no, this is her favorite son-in-law, and no one wants to rob her.

"Miss Qingping, please stay, the overall situation is the most important..."

Without waiting for her moral kidnapping, Mu Wanqing threw a heavy bomb first, "I heard that your He family is using the Ji family's banner to engage in the Jiangnan Guo family? It's really long, I don't know how to catch it this time. With so many friendships and countless enemies, the Ji family's reputation in Jiangnan is considered stinky."

Ji's family all changed color, especially the old lady Ji, who screamed, "Is this true? Didn't you talk nonsense?"

what happened? Why doesn't this family keep getting old? It brought trouble to the Ji family again and again. If she hadn't had four children, she would have divorced this daughter-in-law.

I'm sorry, shouldn't have let her in.

But, now, for the sake of the dignity of the four children, it is impossible to stop fighting.

Mu Wanqing bowed to her, "Old lady, I have a friend who is the second master of the Guo family. He has come all the way this time to apologize to the Ji family. Please let them go for the sake of their innocent involvement. A horse."

Mrs. Ji was worried in her heart. She has always been kind to others and formed good relationships, but she couldn't stand the repeated corruption of the He family.

The thought of having a group of enemies without her knowledge made her fidgety.

"where is he?"

Mu Wanqing was sure that she knew nothing about the matter, "It was in the carriage outside the door, and I didn't dare to come to the door without sending a message."

Mrs. Ji broke out in a hot sweat and came to the door. It seems that this is probably true.

No wonder this girl's attitude towards the Ji family is very subtle.

"Come in quickly."

Guo Er was brought in by the servants, his face was full of unease, and he didn't know what to do.

Mu Wanqing said softly, "Second brother Guo, this is Mrs. Ji. If you have any grievances, just tell her. She is the kindest old man."

"This is Commander Ji. He is taught by a kind old mother, and he is naturally an upright person."

This is to elevate Commander Ji, saying that you are upright, how can you be so embarrassed to cheat people?

If it was Commander Ji who did it, in front of Du Shaoxuan, can he admit it?

Du Shaoxuan will definitely ask, why are you doing this? Check it out, it's even worse.

If it hadn't been done by Commander Ji, then you couldn't control the family time and time again, and you would have a big problem.

Her short words were like sharp knives, stabbing the Ji family directly.

Only then did Commander Ji realize how powerful Mu Wanqing was. This girl seemed harmless, but she was actually murderous.

Guo Er was stunned, she promised to solve the problem for him, is that the solution?

Mu Wanqing also said lightly, "It's said that self-cultivation, balancing the family and governing the country will bring peace to the world. If you can't even manage your wives and concubines, what will you talk about to make the world peaceful, right?"

Everyone gasped, this one was even more ruthless.
