Chapter 276

As the sun sets in the west, the sky is full of colorful clouds, and the low-key and luxurious carriages are driving on the streets.

The lively hawking on the street continued, and Mu Wanqing heard that there were people selling candied haws, so she went down to buy a few.

The red and bright rock candied gourd bites down, sour and sweet, with a unique taste.

Mu Wanqing nibbled at the candied haws slowly, and instructed softly, "Go and check the whereabouts of the Mu family's children in the past few days, the focus is on Mu Shiqi, and report all the whereabouts to me."

Some people's hearts are big, and they want more money after earning enough money, and they don't care how much they weigh.

"Yes."

When passing by Du Shuai's mansion, Mu Wanqing took one more look, still thanking the guests behind closed doors, "Du Shaoxuan is still on the mountain to keep his filial piety?"

The maid calculated the time, "It's been over 100 days, and I should be going down the mountain to celebrate the New Year."

Mu Wanqing nodded slightly, "Add 10% to Du Shuai's New Year's gift, it's not convenient to visit this year."

The maid responded, and suddenly her eyes narrowed, "Young Shuai Du has come down the mountain."

Not far away, a group of people came on horseback, and the headed man was a handsome man with cold brows and an aura of not being angry and arrogant.

A group of people rumbled past the carriage, rode a few hundred meters away, suddenly restrained the horse's back, and rode back again.

Du Shaoxuan was a little surprised, "Wanqing, it's really you, I thought I was wrong, why didn't you call me?"

The Mu family's carriage is very low-key, with only the word "mu" engraved on the front of the carriage. If you don't pay attention, you will miss it.

Mu Wanqing waved her hand with a smile, "Come up and have a cup of tea, I have always had no taboos, no taboos."

Du Shaoxuan hesitated for a while, but still couldn't resist the urge to see her, got off the horse, bent over and got into the carriage.

The maid poured a cup of hot tea and handed it over, and quietly backed out.

"you lost weight."

"you lost weight."

The two made a sound at the same time, and they both froze for a moment, then laughed.

The brisk laughter dilutes the unfamiliar feeling brought by the time distance.

Du Shaoxuan was extremely thin, and the veins on his arms were all raised.

Keeping a filial piety in a hut, living in a bad place, not sticking to fishy meat, how well is your health? His spirit is also very poor.

This can be said to be the lowest point in his life, and a series of events hit him hard.

"Have you not eaten well recently?"

Mu Wanqing doesn't look thin, but she is slim and powerful. She eats five meals a day, plus lunch and supper.

"I've been too busy lately, and I'm a little stressed, but I'll be on vacation tomorrow. If I can sleep in peacefully, I'll just say, it's inhumane to go to work early in the morning in winter, and there's no vacation yet!"

Du Shaoxuan felt distressed in his eyes, "You gave up on taking off yourself, your health is important."

Mu Wanqing pouted, "As the end of the year gets busier, others can take a break. I can't. If I wake up late, someone will come to my house to look for her."

Du Shaoxuan saw her complaining, but she was clearly enjoying it.

Hearing her brisk complaining voice, his depressed and depressed mood gradually relaxed.

A bowl of warm food was handed to Du Shaoxuan, "Have a bowl of fried flour, I rely on this to improve my living conditions on the way to exile."

Du Shaoxuan wanted to refuse, but he had no appetite, but when he heard this, he couldn't help but listen, "I should get a few more cows that time, and leave you more food."

He had seen her when she was the most down, but since she had no feelings at that time, she naturally wouldn't feel much distressed.

Now can't stand it just listening to it, and can't help but regret it.

"It's okay to eat, I can get along no matter what, but I'm afraid of the blizzard weather, the road is not easy to walk, and it's easy to get lost, and the whole body is shivering in the cold, but also to prevent the blizzard from crushing the carriage, from time to time I go out to sweep the car under the strong snowstorm. Top." Mu Wanqing recalled the past, still vivid in her mind, "Some people are on the road where the snow is flying."

The Mu family was okay, but the Fang family lost a few.

It's really cold in winter, it's really hard to travel, the road conditions are not good, bumpy and rugged, cold winds are blowing, and the situation is frequent.

If it wasn't for the carriage and thick clothes she got, how many people would have died on the road just walking on their feet.

In that blizzard, her carriage was scattered.

Du Shaoxuan looked at her blankly, shocked and heartbroken, "You never said this, how did you get through such a difficult situation with your entire clan?"

Mu Wanqing seldom mentions that past event, and occasionally mentions it in an understatement.

Everyone only knows that she made a fortune on the road, but she did not go to the hard work and danger behind it.

She pulled out a token, "Well, look, this is the hope you left me."

Du Shaoxuan saw at a glance that it was given to her by him, with a complicated expression, "You still carry it with you?"

Now that power has changed, this token has a greater symbolic meaning. As for real power, Mu Wanqing has long been able to rely on her face.

"Well, it is of great commemorative value. I thought at the time, if I can't hold on, I will use the token to ask the government for help, maybe it will work."

Du Shaoxuan's heart was sour, "You haven't used it, not once."

Mu Wanqing was playing with the token, which was more of a reminder to herself that she had had a difficult time, and she kept alert and encouraged herself.

"It didn't reach the point where the mountains and rivers were exhausted. Later, I found a way to make money, and it became smoother and smoother."

"If I had known earlier..." The more Du Shaoxuan thought about it, the more unpleasant he felt, and he was full of pity, "I would accompany you on the road of exile."

He must protect her well and not let her suffer a little.

Mu Wanqing didn't need others to save her, but it didn't prevent her from sweetly saying, "After experiencing the lows, I will cherish the hard-won good days more. Meeting you is already the best arrangement."

Du Shaoxuan's eyes lit up, looking at her in disbelief.

"Do you really think so?"

Mu Wanqing raised her eyebrows and said with a smile, "Well, after you have been filial to your mother for three years, let's get married."

The surprise came unexpectedly, Du Shaoxuan's head buzzed, suspecting that he was dreaming. "Marriage? Are you serious?"

"Then I'll think about it again?" Mu Wanqing pinched her chin, the time was almost up, and the marriage should also be on the schedule.

Before, the emperor wanted to see a single Qingping County Master who did not marry the powerful, which was more in the interest of the emperor.

But, now and then.

When she is an extremely noble minister, no one who marries with her will be as powerful as her.

Over the years, her image of an orphan has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. A courtier who is flawless and prestige is getting higher and higher, and an orphan who has a small family and a weak underbelly. Which one is more reassuring to use?

Self-defeating, she definitely won't do it, so she chooses to get married.

Since you want to get married, of course you have to choose the one you like, and the three views are the same.

Du Shaoxuan finally came to his senses, grabbed Mu Wanqing's hand, the worry in his brows was swept away, and his joy was about to overflow, "No, no, you said it yourself, don't go back on it, we will get married in three years. "

His joy infected Mu Wanqing, and the corners of her mouth raised slightly, which was not bad.

...

The moonlight is as bright as a silver gauze, the entire Xuanwu Street is brightly lit, the storefronts on both sides are lanterns hanging high, brilliance, gongs and drums, the sound of drums, the dragon dance team parade through the street, bursts of noise, a prosperous scene.

The people brought the old and the young, and the whole family went out to visit the lantern festival, and the laughter continued.

Mu Wanqing and Du Shaoxuan went out together.

Seeing that many people were wearing masks, Mu Wanqing couldn't help but get excited. She stopped at a mask booth, picked a tiger mask and put it on, covering her face.

Du Shaoxuan glanced at her, and picked a male version of the same style, with a bigger mask.

The two looked at each other, which was quite interesting, and if they knew each other, they would not recognize them.

Well, you can play the game regardless of the image.

The government arranged a lantern riddle guessing program, and a lantern mountain rose high, attracting the attention of countless people.

As long as you can guess the answer, you can get a lantern.

Du Shaoxuan saw that everyone was guessing, "Which lamp do you want?"

Mu Wanqing glanced at it casually, took a fancy to a lotus lantern at the top, and clicked on it, "Just this one."

Although Du Shaoxuan was a military general, he was educated in the palace after all. He was an all-rounder in both civil and military affairs. He guessed it after reading it for a few seconds. The organizer took down the lotus lantern with some distress. This is the best looking one.

He was about to hand the lantern to Mu Wanqing when a man and woman wearing fox masks came over, "Wait a minute, brother, can you transfer this lantern to me? I'll pay twenty taels of silver."

Is Du Shaoxuan a person who is short of money? He waved his hand and handed the lantern to Mu Wanqing.

Mu Wanqing held up the lantern and admired it carefully. It was indeed more beautiful than ordinary lanterns. They were stacked in several circles, each circle was a different color, which was very delicate.

The two left on their own, without taking each other seriously.

The fox man came over to block their way, and reported to his home, "The next is the relatives of the Qingping County Lord, and I also ask the girl to cut her love."

What does this tough tone mean?

Du Shaoxuan just wanted to stop, when he heard this, the corner of his mouth twitched.

Mu Wanqing's movements froze, hehe, heard it, it was Mu Shiqi's bastard.

To actually use her name to snatch and snatch it up, it's too much of a skill, so don't take her ban seriously.

She deliberately pinched her throat to change her voice, "I heard that the relatives of the Qingping County Lord are all in Xiliang, what kind of onion are you?"

Mu Shiqi was stunned for a moment, this woman gave him an inexplicable sense of familiarity, have you seen it before?

The fox girl said delicately, "Brother Seventeen, this girl looks down on you."

The voice is artificial, indescribably sweet.

A trace of anger flashed in Mu Shiqi's eyes, "I'll pay fifty taels of silver."

Mu Wanqing is haha, she has a lot of money.

Looking at the fox girl, "Who are you from him? A good friend? Outside the room? Or a brothel girl?"

The fox can't be arrogant, "Presumptuous, you actually dare to humiliate the family of a high-ranking official."

Mu Wanqing became interested, "Which adult's family member is he? Tell me and listen, maybe we know each other."

The fox girl looked at Mu Wanqing, who was dressed in fine cotton cloth. She had no accessories on her body. She only used a jade hairpin to hold her hair. She didn't look rich.

She said disdainfully, "How could I know someone like you?"

Mu Wanqing didn't wear jewelry because she was afraid that people would drop too many things. Besides, she could only have a good time when she traveled in a low-key manner.

There is no way, the officials who maintain the law and order and supervise this street all know her face.

"I haven't asked, what kind of person am I?"

"Untouchables." The fox girl was arrogant and invincible.

Mu Wanqing shook her head slightly, tsk tsk admiration, "Mu Shiqi, the noble daughter called you a pariah."

The fox girl was very angry, "I'm talking about you, not the seventeenth brother. Don't stir up discord, the seventeenth brother, just use the name of the Qingping county master to send people to the government to be punished."

Mu Wanqing didn't say anything, it was up to Mu Shiqi to deal with it.

Some people have big hearts and are blindfolded by power. Is Gaozhi so easy to climb?
