Phoenix Fight: The First Concubine

Chapter 106 Wei'er, I'm Back

Unexpectedly, I met here again.

While she was still thinking, Xiangtao who was next to her had already remembered this person, her expression changed drastically, she blocked Murong Wei and said, "Why is it you again, I warn you, our lady is not something you can provoke!"

The cold man looked at Xiangtao expressionlessly, and said lightly: "Miss, you are worrying too much."

The man with thick eyebrows and big eyes next to him asked with interest: "Brother, have you seen her? When did it happen? Hehe, did we come here today on purpose, Brother?"

"It's you who want to come."

"Uh……"

"It's a woman, don't mess around."

"It's a pity. I don't know who married her. Could it be a flower stuck in cow dung?"

The man sighed.

Murong Wei on the opposite side pushed Xiangtao away, and she was also very surprised when she saw that it was the man she had met once before, wondering if he came here on purpose, but seeing that man's iceberg face, expressionless, It really made her doubt that such a person could not do such a dandy thing.

"Your servant is rude, please don't take offense, my lord. Our master and servant are chattering around here. We never thought that there are other people, but we are arguing with you two."

The man in the blue shirt yelled: "Don't blame me, little lady, it's Meng Lang who interrupted your singing. Just now I was happy to hear it, so I cheered up. I'm really sorry."

Murong Wei said indifferently: "It's just a matter of leisure and pleasure, it's not a rule to be known by others, please don't say it."

"Should be, I said..."

The cold man interrupted the brother's words, "Don't bother the little lady now, our brother will leave now."

After that, let the boy row out.

Seeing his brisk action, Murong Wei was stunned for a moment, then saw the boat turn around and leave.

"..." She didn't know what to say for a while, so she fell silent.

Seeing them leaving, Xiangtao breathed a sigh of relief, patted her chest and said, "I don't think they are good people. He brought some soldiers with him last time, and he dared to tease the princess. He might have some bad intentions." .Hey, we ran too far today."

Yue Gu also said with some displeasure: "Yes, this is too dangerous, why don't you bring more guards next time. Otherwise, what if something happens?"

Murong Wei thought so too, a few women were together, fortunately those men just now were not evil people, if they had any evil intentions, even the guards on the shore would be too late to save them.

That would be dangerous.

"Forget it, let's go back."

Being made trouble by them, Murong Wei lost the intention of wandering around.

So, not long after the two left, Murong Wei also rowed out of the sea of ​​lotus flowers and onto the lake.

From a distance, the black-covered boat can be seen rowing far away.

"Brother, have you taken a fancy to that little lady?" The man winked and said with a smile.

"Li Tai, shut up!"

When Li Tai was scolded by his harsh voice, he immediately became honest, and just muttered to himself: "Then who listens to other people singing without turning their eyes?"

Bingshan Kuge picked up the jug and drank boldly. Between his slender fingers were calluses from holding swords all year round, and thin calluses from holding bows and arrows all year round between his fingers, which showed his identity.

The breeze was blowing, Li Tai saw that his brother didn't speak, so he said: "It's not that I want to talk about elder brother, but mother and her old man can whisper in my ear all day long, saying why you are not married yet. Brother, you have a cold face all day long, and you still don't want to marry me." You are not close to women, so that mother will think that you have broken your sleeves..."

Being swept coldly by his elder brother, Li Tai shrank his neck, completely lacking the majestic appearance in front of outsiders, "I didn't say that, why did you look like you're not interested in women? Fortunately, I found out today, it turns out that elder brother still likes women." It’s a woman’s. It’s just that your standards are too high. I’ll tell my mother later to find a stunning beauty to be your wife.”

"You don't need to worry about it, have you finished what father asked you to do?"

Li Tai said with a bitter face: "Brother, it's not like you don't know that I don't like reading. Dad is bullying people."

As he said that, he looked at Murong Wei's distant black boat and praised, "She is such a rare beauty. Her voice and eyes are so beautiful. Dao Dao would also like it. It's a pity, why did you get married so early?" Yes. If she is not married, she should be a lady by the looks of her, and she is just right for the elder brother."

Li Mian looked at the distant ship expressionlessly, and did not speak, but his eyes moved slightly, with a strange expression on his face.

"Don't think too much about it, let alone harass others."

Li Tai curled his lips: "No matter how stupid I am, I won't moles a woman from a good family, right? What's more, it's in Huangchenggen? Let's not talk about it, it's a rare holiday, we brothers have a good time together. Otherwise, we will go back to the barracks again."

Murong Wei didn't take that matter to heart at all. She got up early the next morning, exercised her body, ate a few vegetarian stuffed buns, a few small dishes, and drank a bowl of porridge.

Xiangtao and Wanxia were waiting by her side, Wanxia originally chose Xiaojiazhuang to enter the mansion, this time Murong Wei brought her with him when he went to Xiaojiazhuang.

Wan Xia went home by the way, and now she said happily: "The slaves told my parents, they said they would come to kowtow to you."

"Then there's no need. I don't need many people to serve me. By the way, I'll give you a vacation to go home with my parents."

Wan Xia's eyes were red: "Slaves are lucky to meet such a kind master like you."

Xiangtao was thinking at the same time, the princess is kind, but that is someone who admires her, if she really wants to be angry, not everyone can bear it.

Just as she was talking, Mrs. Zhou from Zhou Fang's family came to greet her, her face was covered with hot sweat, "My maidservant greets you, my family asked me to say hello to you, our Zhuangzi is having a quarrel with someone."

Murong Wei asked in surprise, "What happened?"

Sister-in-law Zhou patted her forehead and said: "Look, I'm so busy and confused, that's what happened. Our Zhuangzi is connected to the land of Gujiazhuang. There is a sloping land over there, so we didn't plant any land. We planted some thorns on it for profit." It’s over. Didn’t you say recently that someone tried to plant some fresh seeds? That thing somehow dragged the old vines and climbed to the opposite side. As a result, the people in Gujiazhuang chopped down many of our vines. My man negotiated with them, and they said they had crossed the line, so they started fighting. This is where the fight started. Early this morning, the other party called the strong men in the Zhuangzi, and the people from our Zhuangzi also passed by, and we are now confronting each other. "

Murong Wei didn't expect this kind of thing. She wondered if she was planting taro, otherwise where did she get the vine?
But she remembered that the vines of the taro didn't seem to matter. They didn't grow from the vines, and they could get some to feed the livestock.

Xiangtao frowned and said: "What kind of noble status is our princess, how can I deal with this kind of thing?"

Mrs. Zhou quickly said: "I don't dare to let the princess go, I just ask you how to deal with this matter."

Originally, this matter was not a complicated matter. Once the key two parties fight, it will cause a big trouble. If there is a fight and casualties, it will not be very good.

Murong Wei thought for a while, and whispered a few words in Sister Zhou's ear: "Just say so, let the dealer compensate the injured, and don't kill anyone. It's not a big deal in the first place."

Sister-in-law Zhou smiled happily when she heard the words: "The princess is still smart, so I will let the slaves go and tell them to stop making trouble."

After saying that, she hurried out, ready to stop people.

When they arrived at the place, the two people from Zhuangzi were cursing at each other. Although they hadn't started fighting yet, it seemed that the situation was very heated.

Sister-in-law Zhou told Zhou Fang what Murong Wei had said when she arrived at the place, Zhou Fang smiled and said, "Princess Princess has a solution."

Then he shouted at the other party: "Our boss has spoken, thank you for helping to cut the vines, if you don't do it, our family will have to do it by ourselves. In order to thank you, I specially asked someone to send some money to your labor service money. Take back those who should be recuperated, those who should be recuperated, and those who should be recuperated."

The people in Gujiazhuang opposite were stunned, obviously surprised by Zhou Fang's words.

The two families were at war before, but the sudden change in attitude is really surprising.

Before the people in Gu's Village could speak, the people in Xiao's Village started yelling: "The head of the village can't forget that, Dahei was injured by them."

"The master said that they will send money to the injured to recover. It's not a big deal. What does it look like to quarrel over this matter? We can't be as knowledgeable as the people opposite us, can we?"

When Zhou Fang said this, the Zhuang Dings looked at each other for a while, seeing the way they were talking about each other, it was really not a big deal after thinking about it, it was almost enough, could it really kill someone?

At this time, the number of horses came galloping, and soon stopped in front of the rioting crowd.

The head of the Gu family village hurried forward to greet him, "Eldest Young Master, Second Young Master, why are you two here?"

Li Tai raised his eyebrows and said, "If you don't come again, you're going to fight, what's the big deal, are you bullying others?"

The head of the village hurriedly laughed and said: "How could it be? How dare you do this? The owner of Xiaojiazhuang has also spoken out, saying that he is willing to compensate us who were injured. It is not a big deal. It is not necessary Surprise the two sons."

Li Mian's eyes were sharp, looking at the green plants planted on the slope, he felt strange, he had never seen such a thing before.

"They don't need to pay the money, you can pay it from the account, other people's homes were also injured."

Now that the master said so, it was inconvenient for Zhuangtou to express his opinion, and shouted to the opposite side: "Our boss has spoken, we don't care about your money, so let's stop this matter, let's go, let's separate."

Zhou Fang looked at the opposite side in surprise, and seeing that the people had dispersed, he said strangely: "Is that the new master of the Gu family village? I heard that their Zhuangzi just changed hands."

"It seems to be the case." Mrs. Zhou said in shock, "Look at that horse is not ordinary."

Just as he was talking, Li Mian stepped forward and asked, "What is growing on this ground?"

Mrs. Zhou saw that this young man was very powerful and dressed in brocade clothes. She knew that he was not an ordinary person, but he did not bully others, and his attitude was not bad, so she replied kindly: "This is taro, also called sweet potato, but it is sweet. It can be dried in the sun." Grind it into flour and eat it face-to-face, the yield is not small, and it is not as demanding as crops, so it can be planted casually.”

Li Mian was a little surprised, and his heart moved, thinking that if this thing could be planted in large quantities, it would be a good thing.

"Can you sell this to me?"

Zhou Fang glared at the mother-in-law, this matter was ordered by the boss not to speak, she just had a big mouth.

"It's not a good thing, it's just grown as a snack. Our boss grows some for our own use. I can't make the decision."

Li Tai stepped forward and said, "Brother, why are you asking this? If you want to eat, just ask the grain and oil store to send some."

However, Li Mian thought that it might be suitable to grow it in the arid place in the north. He returned to Beijing from many places this year, because the Yellow River burst its embankment, many places were flooded, and there were many victims. A lot, so he also wants to do something for these people.

"In this case, please ask your boss if you can resell this thing to me. It would be better if you have seeds."

Seeing his insistence, Zhou Fang said, "Okay, I'll go back and ask."

Li Tai just felt baffled, and didn't know why his brother was suddenly interested in this kind of thing.

Zhou Fang immediately dismissed the people and brought them back to Zhuangzi.

Mrs. Zhou came back and told Murong Wei about the situation at that time. When Murong Wei heard that the man actually wanted her sweet potatoes, she shook her head and said, "I planted these for my own family to eat. If he wants them, let him buy them himself."

She doesn't care about the money for selling things, besides, she still wants to see the effect of this thing, and hopes to promote it by then.

After hearing what she said, Mrs. Zhou stopped talking.

The next day Murong Wei got the news that Xiao Mingrui's official ship would arrive in Tongzhou tomorrow evening and return to Beijing the morning after tomorrow.

"Princess, aren't you going back to the capital?" Wan Xia asked doubtfully.

Murong Wei snorted, holding the fan and said in a nonchalant manner: "Just let the mansion prepare and go back the day after tomorrow."

Although she wanted to see that bastard for the first time and see how he was doing, she didn't want to make a gesture that she couldn't do without him.

Waiting for him obediently in the mansion?
joke!

If it wasn't for fear that he would lose face, she really wouldn't want to go back and let him come here to see her.

She just wanted to use this action to tell her that she was very dissatisfied. He'd better think of a reason, and he'd better be able to convince her.

She was still holding her breath.

At this time, Mrs. Zhou came again.

"Princess, it's still about yesterday. Isn't it the owner of Gu's Village? He came over in person and said he wanted to talk to our owner to see if we could transplant some sweet potatoes."

Murong Wei raised her eyebrows, "Why haven't you explained it clearly to him, what are you asking again?"

"Isn't that right? I told him that he just came in person and said that he asked all over the capital. Although there are sweet potato sellers, few people know how to plant them, so I want the people in his village to follow suit."

Murong Wei was a little surprised. Could it be that this person didn't do it for food? What did he do? Maybe he also knows the benefits of sweet potatoes, right?
Murong Wei frowned and said, "Let Yuegu go and ask, what does he want these things for?"

Yue Gu was bringing the lily and tremella soup, upon hearing this, she and Murong Wei went to the living room in the front yard to meet the guest.

As soon as she saw the young master in the living room, Yue Gu's eyes widened and she said in surprise, "Why is it you?"

Li Mian turned his eyes and realized that it was a woman whom he had seen that day.

"Is your wife the owner of this Zhuangzi?"

Li Mian suddenly thought about it, if he didn't live here, how could he meet her several times!

"Young master, I don't know what your purpose is, but you'd better get rid of any unreasonable thoughts." Aunt Yue said with an unkind expression, "As for the things our family grows, madam asked me to ask you why you took them? Our family does not lack your little money."

Li Mian was expressionless at first, and even at this moment, she couldn't see any changes in her expression, but it was a little funny to hear her say that.

"You misunderstood me. I did come here for the sweet potato. There have been droughts and floods in the north. If this plant can be popularized, many people will be saved from starvation. I just want the people in the village to learn how to plant it."

Aunt Yue was a little surprised when she heard the words. She didn't like the iceberg face of the man in front of her, and she was a little scared, but she didn't expect this man to have a cold face and a warm heart, thinking about the people who were affected by the disaster.

Seeing that he had a good intention, Yuegu's attitude improved a lot, and her tone softened: "So that's the case, I can't make the decision, I have to ask my wife first."

Li Mian nodded, but he was very elegant, not like the description of the rude military men in Xiang Tao's mouth.

When Yuegu went back and told Murong Wei, Murong Wei said in surprise: "Is that so, I never thought this person would have such a kind heart."

She originally planned to tell Xiao Mingrui that it would be a great contribution for him to donate these high-yield and drought-resistant crops.

It's just that thinking about it now, isn't it too high-profile to do so.

She pondered for a moment and said, "I'll go see him."

She still doesn't know the identity of the other party. This thing is important and important. She can't give it to others casually. She has to ask the other party's identity.

So she changed into a lotus-colored floral gauze shirt and a moon-white skirt with small floral lanthanum borders, and went down to the front hall accompanied by the maids.

Li Mian was waiting in the living room, seeing the elegant layout of the place, he guessed the identity of the other party in his heart, maybe it was unusual.

But after a while, I heard the jingle of the ring pendant, and the fragrance was blowing. When I looked up, I saw a stunning beauty approaching quietly, like a gust of breeze blowing through the sultry air, giving people a sense of relaxation and joy.

Li Mian's heart moved, although he was touched, he quickly averted his gaze, stood up and said, "I'm bothering Madam again."

Murong Wei smiled slightly, and took the main seat: "My lord, you are welcome. Just now I heard the nanny say that you want that thing. I am not stingy. I spent a lot of effort to cultivate this thing."

"What conditions does Madam want?"

Murong Wei pursed her lips, this person is really straightforward, and he doesn't beat around the bush.

"I heard that you want to promote this thing. The imperial court is not from the son's family."

The implication is that you have said too much, even if you report it to the imperial court, the imperial court may not be able to pass the matter.

What she put a lot of effort into cultivating, you want to share the work as soon as you come, how can it be so easy?
"My family still has some connections, so I can write to the court to facilitate this matter."

Murong Wei raised her eyebrows, seeing that his expression was calm, and his every move revealed the aura cultivated by the children of the aristocratic family. Thinking of his appearance when she first met him, she guessed that he must be a general leading an army.

"What are you going to do, son?"

"Plant in the manor first, and try out the effect in various good and bad fields. If it is good, then write to the imperial court to promote this plant. It can be promoted in several severely affected provinces, such as Shaanxi, Henan, and Shanxi."

Murong Wei nodded, he didn't directly ask the court to promote it on a large scale, obviously he wasn't the hotheaded type.

After all, it was a crop she had never seen before. Although she knew that corn, potatoes, and sweet potatoes were highly productive, the court and the common people didn't know about it.

How can it be possible for them to suddenly replace the things they usually cultivate with unfamiliar varieties that they have never seen before?
"But I can do it myself."

Her words made Li Mian speechless.

Yes, why do people have to tell you about such a good thing?

Li Mian paused and said: "In the border provinces, I can let the military households there cultivate the fields to plant this plant. If it works, it will be even better if your family writes a letter."

Murong Wei's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, who is this person, and his tone is serious.

Which general family is that?

"Dare to ask the son's surname?"

"Miangui's surname is Li..."

Before he finished speaking, a black shadow suddenly stepped into the living room. His handsome face was weathered, but he couldn't hide the joy in his heart. His chin was slightly stubbled, the tiredness at the corners of his eyes and the brows, and his clothes were thick. The color of the dust all indicates that this person has come from a long distance and is full of dust.

"Ver! I'm back."

Murong Wei looked at the man who suddenly appeared in front of her in shock, almost suspicious that she was in a dream.

Isn't he still on the way? The official ship will arrive in Tongzhou tomorrow, so how could he appear here?
She also thought that it was time to save his face, why did he come here?
Isn't she dreaming?

Murong Wei was at a loss for a while, a little flustered, and felt a lot of grievances and heartaches, especially when she saw his dusty appearance, she was even more angry and distressed.

Just seeing him, the anger in her heart suddenly disappeared. This bastard, he is such a rascal. How could she get angry when he appeared in front of her like this?
Murong Wei's shocked expression pleased Xiao Mingrui. He learned that she was living in Zhuangzi in the suburbs on the way. In order to calm his wife's anger, he came down half way by water and rode back by land directly.

Xiao Mingrui had never been so embarrassed in his life.

For his sweet wife, he would endure anything.

At the moment of seeing her, what is worth it!

As long as she still calls her husband as sweetly as in the past, as long as she doesn't get angry with him again, he is willing to do everything for it.

Now seeing her shocked and bewildered appearance, Xiao Mingrui felt a little joy in his heart, she must not believe it?

Xiao Mingrui's eyes swept across the hall, and suddenly he saw a cold and handsome man looking at him with complicated eyes. That kind of gaze gave Xiao Mingrui some intuition unique to a man, and his intuition made him very uncomfortable!

After looking at each other for a short while, he recognized the other party. He was very surprised and asked calmly, "Li Mian? Why are you here?"

When did his little wife meet Li Mian?
Li Mian got up and cupped his hands and said: "So it's His Royal Highness Luo Wang, it's really impolite to go in less, this is the princess, right?"

It was only at this time that Murong Wei came back to her senses, her excitement gradually calmed down, but the flush on her face hadn't dissipated, obviously revealing her inner emotions.

"The maidservant greets the prince."

The maids waiting beside were also shocked by Xiao Mingrui's sudden appearance, and after a while of panic, they all knelt down and saluted.

Xiao Mingrui waved his hands and said, "Get up." He looked at Li Mian with an inexplicable unhappiness on his face: "Stop, this is my concubine. Why, you're already sitting here, and you still don't know about her?" identity?"

The corners of Murong Wei's eyes twitched, and she glanced at him, feeling angry in her heart, and snorted: "I didn't expect the prince to come back suddenly, and I was planning to go back to the palace to wait. This Mr. Li met by chance, and he came here as well." For business."

Look at his tone, what does it mean? Do you suspect that she has an affair with someone?

Before she mentioned him, he was the first to get jealous.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Li Mian is not an idiot, so he sensed it naturally, and when he saw this, he also knew that it was inappropriate for him to stay here, so he said immediately: "It seems that it is presumptuous to come here today. My lord, please come to visit another day."

Murong Wei raised her eyebrows: "Young Master Li, aren't you discussing about that sweet potato? We haven't finished discussing this matter yet."

"What sweet potato?" Xiao Mingrui's heart was boiling with jealousy, and he was sour. He came back all the way, full of travel, why didn't she care about it, and just stared at Li Mian for what?
Don't you know how to care about his husband?
Xiao Mingrui thought dissatisfiedly.

Li Mian felt a little helpless when he saw that he had become the target of a couple's quarrel.

He didn't expect that Murong Wei's identity was actually Princess Luo, but now seeing Xiao Mingrui, he felt a strange sense of loss in his heart, but he hid it very well.

Looking at Xiao Mingrui's expression and eyes, it is obvious that he cares about this sweet wife very much, and it is even more impossible for him to get involved in the affairs of the couple.

"I worry too much about this matter. With the prince here, this matter will definitely be successful. Li will not play tricks."

After finishing speaking, he nodded towards Xiao Mingrui, then turned and left.

Although Xiao Mingrui was very displeased with his appearance, he still said in a deep voice: "Come here, send General Li off."
