    Chapter 238

    In the Hall of Mental Cultivation, the emperor looked at Mu Wanqing, who was smiling, and Du Shaoxuan, whose eyes were wandering.

    "Say, what's going on?"

    He didn't even know that there was a so-called traitorous party list, and the party members who were confessed by the former King of Jin did not have a household secretary.

    What kind of trouble is this?

    Du Shaoxuan coughed, "It's not like that, if there was, I would have given it to you long ago."

    The two of them looked at Mu Wanqing in unison, but Mu Wanqing was not affected at all, and smiled even more brilliantly, "That's right, he wants to rob me of my workshop and secret recipe, and wants to charge me with various charges, I When he is angry, he will also be charged with charges..."

    Bucking each other's shit hats is a routine operation, and she is not guilty at all. "Who knows, cheat out a real one."

    The emperor has some understanding of her character, and is not someone who takes the initiative to cause trouble, but whoever dares to provoke her, she will take revenge.

    "How do you know it's true?"

    Mu Wanqing said naturally, "It's obtained through micro-expressions."

    "What micro-expression?" The emperor didn't understand.

    "That's it..." Mu Wanqing just wanted to answer truthfully, but she changed her words temporarily. No king would like a courtier who could understand his expression. Who would like to be transparent? The king hasn't reacted yet, and it will be troublesome when the aftertaste comes.

    "At that time, he was panicked for a moment, the kind of shock that someone exposed his old bottom. Logically speaking, if he has a clear conscience, he is only angry and disdainful."

    She made an angry and disdainful expression in front of the emperor, very agile.

    The Emperor: ...is that okay? It sounds plausible, but there is no evidence.

    "Aren't you afraid of making a mistake? How can you get off the stage then?"

    He was quite satisfied with Mu Wanqing, who filled the treasury in just a few months, although some of the money was confiscated from the Jin Palace, that was her ability.

    Seeing the empty treasury being filled with silver, the kind of happiness is unimaginable for ordinary people.

    Besides, the three workshops she has run are money-making machines, which can bring in huge sums of money at any time.

    With money, he can flex his muscles and do a lot of things.

    At this point, he will protect Mu Wanqing to the death.

    Of course, you can't tell her, lest she be too proud to be a demon.

    Mu Wanqing smiled and said, "My eyes are very vicious, how about we make a bet?"

    Du Shaoxuan joined in the fun, "I'll bet Wanqing to win, she won't go wrong, the emperor, what do you want to bet?"

    The emperor's mouth twitched, who bet with them? The guy who talks to himself, young man, is just reckless.

    However, it is much cuter than those sultry old foxes.

    "What does the head of Qingping County want?"

    Mu Wanqing rolled her eyes, "I'm an incompetent and jealous boss who only picks peaches for the position of Minister of the Household."

    The emperor looked confused, "You really dare to think about it."

    Mu Wanqing was accustomed to being in charge of one party, and the rules were set by her, and she was already tired of being checked and balanced in the Ministry of Household, "I will tell you what I want, and if you think it is inappropriate, I will not force it, and think about it again. way."

    She told the emperor her true thoughts very calmly, which made him very satisfied. It would be nice if every courtier did this.

    The emperor looked left and right, and couldn't help asking, "Is it really not intentional?"

    "How can it be? You can always trust my character." Mu Wanqing repeatedly complained to herself, "I never frame others, and I don't even bother to do it. I just do it with real swords and guns. That's the only way I'm happy."

    Du Shaoxuan also ran out to join in the fun, "Your Majesty, I dare to vouch for her with my life. She is not the kind of person who fights for power and profit. What she cares about is how to display her talents and leave a strong mark in this era."

    The emperor narrowed his eyes slightly, "Do you have a name for Qing Shi?"

    Mu Wanqing nodded confidently, "Which emperor and general don't want to? Right?"

    The emperor can't deny this, but any king who has a little ambition wants to leave his name in the history.

    He waved his hand, "Go, don't make trouble again."

    Mu Wanqing looked puzzled, "I don't cause trouble, what should I do if it provokes me?"

    The emperor looked at the courtier who loved to do things, and had a heart attack. "Walk around."

    "I retire."

    "I retire." The two of them said in unison, looking at each other and smiling.

    The emperor looked at it with hot eyes, hehe, showing affection or something is the most annoying.

    As soon as they left, the emperor summoned the leader of Wuyiwei.

    Mu Wanqing and Du Shaoxuan were walking side by side in the imperial garden. It was a cold winter, the trees were shining brightly, and the flowers and plants were all withered.

    Snowflakes are fluttering and falling, Xiaoxue Rui is a prosperous year.

    Mu Wanqing gently caught a snowflake, "It's almost New Year's Eve, time flies so fast."

    Du Shaoxuan looked at her beautiful profile, and was full of joy, "We can celebrate the New Year together this year. On the first day of the new year, we will go to Daguo Temple to burn incense, and then go shopping in the temple street."

    In Xiliang, they are all high-ranking, huge families, and they have more entertainment during the New Year, so how can they have time to run around together.

    But this year, there are not so many things to do in Beijing, so can have a clean Spring Festival.

    "Okay, I haven't had a good time shopping." Mu Wanqing was all focused on building a workshop and opening a shop, so how could she go shopping.

    "There must be a lot of delicious food."

    Du Shaoxuan's heart moved, "How about we also open a snack street in Beijing?"

    When he was in Xiliang, he could often eat all kinds of snacks, which was not so convenient in the capital.

    Ah, I'm a bit greedy for lo-mei. There is also lo-mei in Beijing, but it's almost tasteless.

    Mu Wanqing arranged for all the children in the family to manage the workshop in Qingpingzhuang, and did not have time to do anything else.

    The capital is no better than Xiliang, the environment is much more complicated, there are many dignitaries and nobles, and don’t know how many nobles can be hit by a brick.

    In this case, don't make the stall too big.

    The most important thing is the workshop and the top luxury store. Are you afraid of running out of money?

    She has 10% of the shares, but the 2,000 Qingping troops are all supported by her, and an extra bonus is given to the children of the clan to ensure their well-being.

    The various expenses of the county main house are also very expensive, so it is still necessary to open source.

    Next year, Qingping Village will be taken care of, and cotton and corn will be planted. At that time, a cotton workshop will be able to be handed over to the clansmen. This is considered private property.

    She doesn't ask for much money, just make ends meet, her mind is spinning fast.

    "Do you have Zhuangzi in the capital?"

    Du Shaoxuan nodded slightly, "The late emperor gave me a farm when I was eighteen, but I've never been there."

    Mu Wanqing: ...

    "Nothing else?"

    Du Shaoxuan thought for a few seconds, "There are several storefronts at home, these are all managed by the housekeeper, and there are tens of thousands of income every year, you can use them if you want."

    The situation of the Du family is special. Basically, they are stationed in Xiliang, and occasionally return to Beijing to renew their posts. There are not many industries in the capital.

    Mu Wanqing shook her head, "I just have some ideas for a while, I'm not mature yet."

    Du Shaoxuan's eyes were shining, and he cheered as always, "Your idea must be the best, I'll wait."

    The corners of Mu Wanqing's mouth rose, "Let's take a look at the situation, don't worry."

    Du Shaoxuan suddenly said, "I want to eat braised beef and beef sauce."

    This is what Mu Wanqing made for him when they first met, and now it has become his favorite, and he never forgets it.

    No one made it as delicious as what she made with her own hands.

    Mu Wanqing also felt a little craving for food. The capital was inconvenient, and she couldn't eat lamb and beef casually.

    "You look for beef, and I'll make it for you."

    Du Shaoxuan smiled, "Okay."

    The two were chatting happily, a palace maid appeared out of nowhere, and Yingying was blessed. "I have seen the King of Xiliang, I have seen the Lord of Qingping County, Concubine Xi has a request."

    Her hand pointed to the pavilion on the rockery not far away, and a few palace maids surrounded a gorgeous woman, who was Concubine Xi.

    Du Shaoxuan frowned slightly, and refused sternly, "If you don't go, it's not convenient for our foreign ministers to meet the empress, it's not in line with the rules."

    He only recognized three people in the palace, the queen mother, the emperor, and the eldest prince.

    He hardly ever had contact with the queen concubine, and was very careful to avoid suspicion.

    As for the two little princesses raised in the harem, he had no chance to meet them.

    The palace maid's face is ugly, but who cares about her.

    "Wait a minute, the county owner of Qingping is a woman, so she's not so shy..."

    Mu Wanqing couldn't help but be amused, "Are you stupid? It's one thing to avoid taboos between men and women, but it's another thing to prevent collusion in the harem of the former court, don't come to me, I want to be a loner, don't try to hook up with me. ."

    As a solitary minister, he only listens to the emperor's words, does not form a party, and does not connect with other parties. This is the emperor's favorite minister.

    In fact, she is not that loyal, she just doesn't want to deal with these idiots and waste her time.

    I want to use her one by one, and don't want to see if there is any IQ that can play?

    Palace Maid:  …

    Mu Wanqing walked slowly past her, not afraid to offend anyone at all.

    Du Shaoxuan saw a few red plums in full bloom, ran over quickly, picked a plum blossom that was about to bloom, and handed it to Mu Wanqing eagerly.

    "give you."

    Mu Wanqing was silent for a few seconds, then took a sniff, and said inexplicably, "I want to drink plum blossom porridge and fried plum blossoms. Let's pick some and take them home."

    Du Shaoxuan was a little disappointed, but he quickly regained his spirits, climbed up the tree neatly, and urged the flowers.

    After a while there was a big bag, and Mu Wanqing shouted from under the tree, "Enough, don't shave the plum blossoms bald."

    A slightly annoyed voice came from behind, "Qingping County Lord."

    Mu Wanqing didn't look back, just pretended she didn't hear it, "You hurry down, these are enough for us to eat, save some for next time."

    Man, thinking about the next time.

    Seeing that the two of them ignored her, Concubine Xi was embarrassed and annoyed, "This is the flower branch of the imperial palace. You can pick it as soon as you say it. Did you get the master's consent?"

    Du Shaoxuan jumped gently and landed firmly on the ground, "This flower is very fresh, we will go back and cook it. By the way, is this plum cake made of?"

    He grew up in the palace, what did he not do? How about picking some flowers? Could the emperor still punish them for this broken thing?

    There is such a snack in the snack street of Mu's family. Du Shaoxuan has eaten it, but he prefers the spicy one.

    "Plum blossom cake is just shaped like a plum blossom, and the raw materials are wheat, red beans and brown sugar." Mu Wanqing said, she wanted to eat it, "However, we can make a real plum blossom cake."

    Du Shaoxuan chuckled, "It's such a happy decision."

    You can eat anything with her.

    The two of them talked on their own, without giving Concubine Xi a look at all.

    Concubine Xi was going crazy. Du Shaoxuan was notoriously difficult to deal with, and he was like a little bully in the palace. Another unruly Mu Wanqing came.

    When these two get together, their popularity will go crazy.

    She pretended to care, "Qingping county magistrate, why have you offended people again? Do you know how many people hate you? I can't wait to tear you to pieces."

    Mu Wanqing didn't look back, "I hate it if I hate it, and the sky won't fall."

    Concubine Xi intended to win over Mu Wanqing, but her attitude was very annoying.

    She pinched her nose and held back, "You...you don't want to find a backer?"

    Mu Wanqing raised her eyebrows, yo yo, did the favored concubine change her strategy? "I have a backer, the emperor."

    Concubine Xi has a hard-hearted attitude, all for your good appearance.

    "Although the emperor is very good, he can't act arbitrarily. The emperor is never alone in the court. He sometimes has to listen to the opinions of the courtiers. He can protect you for a while, but not for the rest of your life."

    Mu Wanqing finally looked back at her with an inexplicable expression, "So, are you digging the emperor's corner?"

    Concubine Xi was very envious of her ability to earn 20 million casually, and she wanted to take her without thinking of old grudges.

    Who would think too much money.

    She said solemnly, "This is caring for the courtier, how can it be considered digging a corner?"

    Mu Wanqing looked behind her fiercely, "Ah, Your Majesty, you are here."

    Concubine Xi's face changed greatly, Suosuo trembled, and forced herself to calm down, "Don't be kidding, the emperor is in the Hall of Mental Cultivation."

    She had already inquired about the whereabouts of the emperor.

    Mu Wanqing waved her hand with a smile, "Then look back."

    Her appearance is not serious, so Concubine Xi can't make up her mind and dare not look back...
