I, who disguised myself as a woman, turned out to be a queen! ?

Chapter 488 If the Queen were here! !

The light rain is as moist as a soft, continuous stream.

Clouds and mist surround the mountains and rivers, painting boats and fishing boats.

It is really the end of the world.

With such beautiful scenery, what more can a viewer ask for!
Mu Xu, the Master Jijiu stood on the Yunmu Pavilion, which is known as one of the wonders of the world. He looked at the rainy scenery of the world-famous Yunmu Lake filled with water vapor, and he was full of praise in his heart.

Especially when you look at the steamy drizzle, there are boats ferrying people across the lake, and the old fishermen on the boats are fishing quietly in their coir raincoats. It’s very pleasant.

Mu Xu was even more envious, but there was no use in envying him. He was so busy with his life that there was nothing he could do!

Thinking of his hard-working life, Mu Xu lamented: "I have such an old waist and bones~~"

On one side, an old man in plain clothes heard this and walked up to Mu Xu with a wine glass in his hand: "Why are you here hiding from the children?"

Hearing this, Mu Xu looked at the richest man in Yunxiang Land, Qian Long, and said with a smile: "Looking at the scenery of Yunmu Lake, I can't help but sigh with emotion."

That is to say, the old man Qian Long can shout loudly and can hold a cultural gathering of this standard in Yunmu Pavilion.

Otherwise, with his current position as pastor, would his life be so tight that he would even have to rob his own disciples of their salary?

Having said that, he turned back to look at the scene in Yunmu Pavilion. The two floors were filled with guests, and even the corridors were also crowded at the moment.

After coming to Jiangnan for a few days and attending many banquets, Mu Xu felt sorry for the money.

Jiangnan women are dancing gracefully, and dignitaries are sitting around. Wearing gold and silver is a trivial matter. Every scholar wears a tael of silver to buy half a foot of cloth. The most important thing is the dishes. You can take out one at will. When I asked about the price, it was enough for ordinary people to eat for a year. It was so luxurious!
In this way, Mu Xu looked at the old man Qian and said, "You are still rich."

Looking at today, it is even more luxurious!
However, the people who came today are quite interesting.

Except for these two, at a glance, there are more than ten talented and talented women who can be named.

The place of learning is not a place for one family, but a place for students from all over the world who want to learn.

After drinking a glass of wine, Mu Xu was filled with emotion. They all said that the dignitaries in the capital were extravagant, but compared to the banquets here in Jiangnan, none of them could compare.

Both of them were surrounded by people.

The drunk person on the ground is called Bai Qi, and he is one of the thirteen best people in the world [Painted Person]!
That handsome man in a green shirt, who used to be number one in the poetry list [Wenjunzi] Qiu Shui'an.

Qian Long laughed when he heard it: "I donated money to build a school for you, but you didn't want it. Now you say I have money. What's wrong, I stole it from your house."

As for those children of aristocratic families who are well-read in poetry and books, they are everywhere.

There is also the handsome-looking thirty-year-old man in a green shirt. He is gentle and elegant, and his conversation and behavior are quite like an elegant scholar.

There were many students and teachers, especially the one dressed in white, but he was lying on the steps drunkenly, holding a glass bottle of red wine in his hand and drinking.

No money is needed because Qian Long gave the money to build it, so the school will not be clean. After all, after it is built, it will belong to the Qian family and the dignitaries. And if those poor families want to go, it will be okay if he is still there. But after leaving, there is no way.

As for these people, Mu Xu squinted his eyes and looked at them a few more times. He had been to some of them, and there was no need to go to some of them.

Mu Xu smiled and waved his hand, not to say more about this matter. Some money is not worth it. It's not that Qian Long's money is not clean. He earned it from serious business and it is very clean.

Family status is valued by aristocratic families, but these businessmen value it more than aristocratic families! The main thing is that everyone is thinking about changing from a merchant's family to a noble family.

He has been friends with Mu Xu for decades. In the past, when Mu Xu couldn't afford to eat, he wanted to donate to the capital. At that time, he even invited Mu Xu to have a meal, and that time, Mu Xu drank a lot of wine. Clean, later said it was expensive, so I had to drink it clean.

For example, Mu Xu has built so many schools, and under the sound of reading aloud, everyone knows that if you come to study, the door will be open, regardless of your status or anything else.

After saying hello, many family members and many wealthy merchants came pushing carts to deliver money.

Seeing that Mu Xu was unwilling to talk about this matter, Qian Long also knew that Mu Xu was worried about the future, so he didn't want to talk more, but said, "Do you really think you don't like my grandson?"

Qian Long glanced over there and squatted next to Bai Qi, looking directly at the young man Bai Qi.

Mu Xu said frankly: "I definitely like him. How dare I not like the future God of Wealth of the Qian family? But he is not good at studying. He is not good at anything. You throw it at White Horse Academy and it doesn't improve. Give it to me. Then It’s even less promising. It’s better to learn to do business. If you are so inclined, I can help you connect with Su Liheng from the Su family, and that kid is now doing business in Yangzhou.”

Qian Long sighed, then smiled bitterly: "It seems that my Qian family will not be able to produce an official."

Only Mu Xu wants to speak
But at this time, someone in the crowd said: "I think, Mr. Shui'an, your Lantern Festival poems are much better than the Empress's poem "Lights of Dim"!

Many people heard it, and as soon as these words came out, the originally noisy Yunmu Pavilion suddenly became quiet, and they all looked at the student who shouted these words.

And when the student saw that he spoke louder in excitement and attracted so many people to watch, he immediately felt at a loss.

Seeing that the student was silent, someone from the second floor shouted: "Tell me how you can't compare! What's the use of just shouting!"

As soon as these words came out, many people's eyes were full of joking expressions.

Is it possible for a student like you to comment on whether the Queen's poems are good or bad?
Not to mention that "The Sapphire Case" was known to everyone present, but in the end you said it was not as good as Wen Junzi's song?
After Wen Junzi heard about the "Qingyu Case" that day, he tore up the Shangyuan Festival poems he had written on the spot, saying that he had no shame to show them.

Mu Xu looked at the man with a smile, said nothing more, and stopped talking to Qian Long, just waiting for the next step. However, the man in Tsing Yi, known as the "Wenjunzi", stood up, bowed to everyone and said: "The child is ignorant and has disturbed you, so please forgive me. Qiu's poems are indeed not as good as those of the Empress, such as "Yun" "Think of clothes, think of flowers, think of face" and "When will the bright moon come" are all poems that Qiu couldn't even think of, let alone "That person is in the dim light".

As he spoke, Qiu Shui'an bowed again.

The student who made the statement also quickly bowed.

Naturally, there are many good people among everyone, especially the Queen.

Looking at the person who shouted, he was from the Wu family. Naturally, he wanted to make a fool of himself, and even more deeply, he was thinking about humiliating the reputation of the [Wenjunzi].

After all, worse is worse. What does the person on your side mean when you shout this?

But Qiu Shui'an admitted it in public, which was a bit disappointing. Even though he was a meddler, he kept his mouth shut. After all, Qiu Shui'an did this in public and refused to let go. Then he would inevitably be despised by others if he stood up and spoke out.

A little farce.

Mu Xu smiled and stopped looking. This was thanks to the fact that it was in the south. Although the Empress had a great influence, she was not as good as the capital after all.

If you were in the capital, if you dared to shout like this, you would have been surrounded by people and beaten!

Qian Long, who was beside Mu Xu, glanced at Wen Junzi, then looked at Mu Xu, and lowered his voice and asked: "Is the empress's style really the best in the modern era? Her reciting of poems and lyrics far surpasses that of Wen Junzi, an ancient and elegant gentleman?"

Hearing this, Mu Xu stood up with a smile on his face, but with a solemn look on his face: "Do you think my student Xu Zuiyin's knowledge ranks high compared to the people here?"

Qian Long immediately asserted: "If the knowledge of the King of Poetry is here, I dare not say that it is in the top five, but it must be in the top ten! If it is poetry, it must be in the top three!"

Mu Xu then asked: "My student Xun Kuang, what do you think of him?"

Qian Long immediately said: "There are ten talents in the world, but a man who has seven talents alone does it need to be said?"

But after saying that, Qian Long asked: "I want to ask you, Queen, why are you talking about this, praising your own students?"

After Mu Xu smiled, he pointed at himself and asked, "What do you think of me?"

Qian Long didn't want to talk.

Isn’t this nonsense!
Although the literary giant is criticized for his cynicism, people never talk about the great wine sacrifice and knowledge in the Mu Xu, because there is nothing wrong with him, and he is not qualified to criticize him.

Mu Xu said with a smile: "The three of us, master and disciple, only talk about poems and articles in front of the Queen. Regardless of our status, none of us dare to say anything."

But after finishing speaking, Mu Xu added: "But if it is really a fart, and it is about to fart, the queen will smell it, and she will not be angry. Maybe she will smile and tell us to stay away."

Qian Long listened to Mu Xu's erroneous answer, but inexplicably, he already understood it.

It is evident that someone can make this pastor so self-deprecating and yet praise him.

When Mu Xu turned around, he found that the rain had stopped and the dark clouds dispersed. A ray of sunshine shone from the dark clouds on the mist-shrouded Yunmu Lake.

Especially under the golden sunshine, looking from the Yunmu Pavilion to the Yunmu Lake in front of me, in the ray of sky, the water surface and the sky are reflected, I don't know who is the lake and who is the sky, it is really a magnificent scene!

Immediately sighed: "How many people have written poems about Yunwu Pavilion. There are good words and poems, but there is no poem that can be engraved on the inscription. So I have just been thinking, what if How nice it would be to have my queen here.”

After a brief moment of seriousness, Mu Xu looked back at Qian Long and said: "You don't know, there are a lot of pricks here, right? There are even more in the capital! But, as long as the empress attends, those children who think highly of themselves, one by one They are so quiet that they don’t even dare to write poems. What are you going to do when you go to a literary festival? One day, you come to see the Queen, and then you come back to wait for the Queen’s poems. If the Queen is here today, I will keep them all quiet. , especially the most noisy ones.”

What kind of person does Mu Xu say?

But Qian Long knew that Mu Xu was talking about the people from the Zuo family and the Xu family over there, in other words, the families from the Shangjun Chamber of Commerce and the families from the Wanli Chamber of Commerce.

Qian Long didn't say anything, just smiled. Although he looked prosperous, he was actually living in the gap between these two major chambers of commerce. His chamber of commerce had to be disbanded last year.

If it weren't for his strong foundation, he might have been eaten up by these two major chambers of commerce.

But think of this
Qian Long thought of what Mu Xu had just said about Su Liheng.

Tint your lips?

Qian Long thought for a while, but he still couldn't decide. After all, the current situation was unclear. If he cooperated with Su Liheng like this, it would be binding. If the Zuo family, Qi family, Ouyang family and other big families had nothing to do this time, You can ruin it yourself.

Mu Xu glanced at Qian Long and knew what the old boy was thinking, but he didn't want to reveal it.

But I knew in my heart that in order to complete His Majesty's big move, especially the Queen's plan to build a state-owned commercial industry and use business to raise soldiers and increase the national treasury, this old guy Qian Long must be captured. But There is no rush, the tense is unclear, these old foxes from the south will definitely not express their stance.

Although he is needed as a lobbyist to be effective at this time, but just talking about Su Liheng, didn't it already have an effect?
But this time.
There was another commotion in the pavilion. Mu Xu and Qian Long looked over and saw Old Master Gu Que Zhi Gu coming.

A smile immediately appeared on Muxu's face and he said immediately: "Old man, we are finally here!"

But just when he got to the stairs and wanted to go downstairs, he said, "Gu Quezhi, you are so arrogant. It took you so long to come here."
But this one looks up.

"Um?!"
