Chapter 97, Chu Zhi (Don't Raise Book Babies)
Mu Changqing returned to the leisurely life she had before.
In addition to talking to Hua Ji about her life ideals every day, she occasionally goes to Baihua Pavilion for a walk.
Since Qin Mei ran into Mu Changqing and Hua Ji's conversation last time, she suddenly became much more serious when facing Mu Changqing, and she would not tease her every word.
This made Mu Changqing feel very uncomfortable. He got used to the natural way of getting along. He was a little uncomfortable with the sudden change, but he didn't know how to resolve the grudges in it for a while.
"Young Master, have you quarreled with the lady?"
On the way to Zhuangtian, Liu Youde asked with a cautious look on his face.
After hearing this, Mu Changqing couldn't help but pause.
"Why do you ask this?"
Rubbing his hands, Liu Youde sighed slightly in a tone.
"Old Liu sees the character of the young master. Lao Liu has been with the young lady for so many years, so why can't Lao Liu tell that the young master likes the young master in his heart? However, since the young master returned to Chang'an, Lao Liu hasn't seen the smile on the lady's face for a long time. The young lady often sits on the third floor of Qingfeng Building and stares at Xizi Lake in a daze, staying there for a long time."
"In the past, no matter what the lady did, it was a perfume workshop or a Qingfeng restaurant. The lady was always practicing everything. Even if she was busy all day long, the lady always had a smile on her face. However, during this period, Lao Liu found that the lady seemed to have changed her personality."
Gritting his teeth, Liu Youde looked at Mu Changqing and continued.
"If the young master and the lady have a quarrel, Lao Liu hopes that the young master can coax her. The lady is really a very miserable person."
After a while of silence, Mu Changqing looked up at the endless Yongyetian in a daze, and the scenes of the past appeared before her again.
"What did the young master say? Even if the young master always lives in this Baihua Pavilion, I can still raise the young master."
"I also want to find a man to live a simple life. Even if she is penniless and penniless, I don't care about these things, but which man will accept that his wife cannot have children?"
"Young Master, why don't you be here to accompany you, so you can have someone to talk to you."
…………………
Taking a deep breath, Mu Changqing solemnly patted Liu Youde on the shoulder: "Don't worry, I know how to do it."
Upon hearing this, Liu Youde grinned, and his appearance was really ugly.
In the suburbs of Chang'an, due to the early warning, the vassals of Mu Changqing were not gnawed by locusts.
Before the two arrived at a field that had not been planted, Liu Youde was a little curious when he looked at the bag that the young master told him to carry.
"Young Master, what's in this bag?"
"seed."
"Seeds? Are we here to farm today?"
As he was murmured, Liu Youde opened the bag and spread small pieces of tender yellow potato seeds inside.
"Well, let's do an experiment first, just bury these seeds in these soil."
Chang'an is located in the south of Dayan. The climate temperature at this time is suitable for potato planting. Moreover, potatoes are cold-resistant and heat-resistant, so the conditions for suitable planting are basically not difficult.
Liu Youde, the tool guy, had no doubt about Mu Changqing's words. He rolled up his sleeves and sowed the potato seeds in the bag one by one in this small field.
Mu Changqing was helping.
It took about an hour to plant a small bag of potato seeds.
He picked up the kettle he carried with him and took a sip. Liu Youde and Mu Changqing lay side by side on the grass outside the ridge of the field for a simple rest.
"By the way, young master, you have made such a great contribution to the quarantine. Has the Queen rewarded you with anything? Will you give a high-ranking official?"
After hearing this, Mu Changqing couldn't help feeling helpless.
In the past few days, Qin Guangdong came to his yard repeatedly on the orders of the queen. The meaning inside and outside was to ask Mu Changqing what kind of reward he needed.
However, after the locust plague, Mu Changqing had no idea about the rotten court.
And I don't care about money.
Now that the treasury is so empty, how much money can I give to myself? Maybe I may not be as profitable as my own Qingfeng Tower in one day.
So Mu Changqing kept shirkingly saying that he did not need any reward. If he had the intention, he could subsidize more to the soldiers of the Nanying.
But Mu Changqing thought so, Qin Guangdong might not be like this, and Chu Zhi was the same.
This locust plague can be smoothly calmed down, and it is not an exaggeration to say that Mu Changqing has made more than half of it.
If he was originally a person in the court, he could even be promoted several levels.
But Chu Zhi also knew that Mu Changqing did not like to participate in the court. If he insisted on arbitrarily appointing an official position for him, it might cause him to be disgusted.
As for money, let alone money.
Chu Zhi even suspected that with Mu Changqing's efficiency and speed of making money, he might borrow money from him in the future.
So Chu Zhi has been having a headache about what kind of reward should Mu Changqing be the best.
Everyone was eager for the power and position, but he wanted to deviate from it, which naturally gave Chu Zhi a headache.
After resting for a while, Mu Changqing took Liu Youde to a hidden thatched hut on the outskirts of the city.
Before I got close, I heard intermittent painful moans coming from inside.
Upon hearing this, Liu Youde couldn't help but turn black and strode in.
After a while, it became quiet inside.
Xu Maoran was placed in the suburbs of this city by Mu Changqing. His daily water supply was barely supplied and he didn't starve to death. He was breathing in his breath.
Liu Youde often comes to "take care of" him.
The two of them left until the sun gradually set.
When I returned to the bamboo courtyard, I didn’t see Hua Ji’s figure, and I didn’t know what I was busy with.
Mu Changqing didn't think much about it and moved the potatoes piled up in the backyard to the yard one by one.
Then he made a cup of tea and sat aside, leisurely cutting potatoes.
A touch of sunset completely covered the sky, and a gentle sound of footsteps sounded outside the yard.
Thinking that Hua Ji was back, Mu Changqing quickly got up and went to open the door.
However, looking at the masked woman standing at the door, Mu Changqing was stunned.
"Miss Chu? Why are you here?"
"What? Mr. Mu seems to be very unhappy to see me?"
After hearing Mu Changqing's words, Chu Zhi's pretty face under his veil twitched faintly.
"Haha, what are you saying? Isn't this a little curious? It's been a long time since I saw Miss Chu. What are you busy with recently?"
After getting out of his position, he invited Chu Zhi in, and Mu Changqing went to wash his hands and poured her a glass of water.
"Miss Chu can do it yourself, I'll have some seeds here."
Mu Changqing sat back on his seat and continued to cut potato cubes.
