The concubine is so charming

Chapter 1079 Spying on the enemy
Meng Rou regained some strength, and was about to compete with Mu Qingchen again, when a guard knocked on the door and sent a message: "My lord, madam, Miss Liao is here to see you."

Meng Rou hurriedly sat up and straightened her dress: "Why are you here now?"

Mu Qingchen lazily leaned against the bed: "It should be to see my wife for tea. If that's the case, then I'll go and see my lady, and I won't go."

"Master, you are a sweet potato and a cash cow. If you don't go, what can Miss Liao have to say?"

"Naturally, this good thing can't be easily obtained by others. Is your master such a frivolous person? If you want to see your master, you have to pass at least five levels and kill six generals. After all, the easier it is to get, the less you cherish it." ..."

Meng Rou raised her hand and patted her chest: "Master, it's fine to keep repeating this in your heart, don't say it, it's disgusting after all."

"You... ouch, my stomach..."

"Master, take good care of you and your stomach. I'll go see that Miss Liao."

"When you're done meeting people, don't forget to bring me some snacks."

"……understood."

When Meng Rou left, Mu Qingchen sat up and called the guards at the door in: "Let the people in the dark check carefully to see if there is any change in Jingzhou City. In addition, we can investigate the matter of Liao Shuang's carriage getting out of control." Clear?"

"Reporting to master, the Liao family and Li Zhifu are also investigating this matter. The horse was indeed tampered with, but there is no clue as to who did it secretly."

"Where are the servants around Liao Shuang? Did they do it?"

"The servants around Ms. Liao have all been strictly interrogated by Li Zhifu, and no doubts have been found."

"Prefect Li? On the surface, he looks ordinary and has nothing to do, but in private, his style is quite vigorous and resolute?"

"Reporting to the master, Rongcheng looks flat and has no achievements, but in fact it is loose on the outside and tight on the inside. Before the master asked his subordinates to investigate the servants of Li's mansion, and now they have found out. Although the servants of Li's mansion are outside He acted a little arrogant and domineering, but at most he said a few harsh words, and never really did evil or hurt people outside. Although the people of Jingzhou were a little displeased, when they talked about the Li family, they mostly praised him."

"What about Li Sheng's wife, Mrs. Liao?"

"That Mrs. Liao prefers fancy clothes and gourmet food. She is famous for speaking bluntly. In the past few years, she has offended many people in Li Zhifu because of her unthinking and unobstructed speech. Therefore, Li's residence has very little communication on weekdays. , that Mrs. Liao rarely shows up in front of people."

"Isn't this in line with the reputation passed down by the Liao family?"

"Yes, the Liao family is considered a scholarly family in the south of the Yangtze River. It has been passed down since the previous dynasty. After the birth of Mrs. Miaoyang, the reputation of the Liao family's daughters has become even more famous. Many people like to marry Liao's daughters. Back then Li Zhifu was able to obtain this Mrs. Liao, and he was envied by many people, but he did not expect that Mrs. Liao was a special one among the women of the Liao family. She did not inherit any virtuous and virtuous character, but was arrogant. , Looking ahead and neglecting the future, so many people are very sympathetic to Li Zhifu."

Mu Qingchen nodded slightly: "I see, continue to monitor Rongcheng closely, and let people monitor the road from Rongcheng to Qiantang along the way to see if anyone shows up. As for the control of Jiangnan, since I have the opportunity to come here, I have to sort it out carefully. It is really troublesome to ask the officials in the court to deliver letters to me when the side-by-side king of the province has nothing to do, so let's go down."

"Yes."

Mu Qingchen relaxed and lay back on the bed. Thinking of Meng Rou's happy appearance these days, the corners of her lips slightly raised: Since I came here for fun, let Meng Rou have fun, and let him do other things naturally. Deal with it in the dark.

On the other side, when Meng Rou went downstairs, she saw Liao Shuang waiting downstairs.

Today, Liao Shuang didn't wear a veil, but wore a light blue and elegant skirt. Just standing there, she revealed an elegant and alienated look, which attracted many people around her secretly looking sideways. The color of longing.

"Liao Shuang has met Madam." Liao Shuang's expression remained the same, not much different from before.

Meng Rou sized her up carefully, secretly curious: Didn't Master Li inform Miss Liao of her and Mu Qingchen's identities?Otherwise, why is Miss Liao so indifferent?
"Miss Liao, you don't need to be too polite. You came here today, but you want me to drink tea?"

"I heard that the carriage of the young master and madam has been repaired, so I wanted to come here and ask the two of you when to go to Qiantang, so that my family can prepare well and send the money owed to the young master and madam in time. "

"If there are no accidents, we will be leaving in two days.

"Then I will write a letter immediately to let the family prepare well. By the way, the last time Madam asked me to drink tea, I must be someone who loves tea, so I bought some high-quality tea and invited Madam Don't be disgusted."

While talking, Liao Shuang slightly raised the corner of her lower lip. Although the smile was shallow, it could be seen that it was sincere.

Meng Rou looked at Liao Shuang's face, which was made more brilliant by this smile, and there was a flash of admiration in her eyes: "The weather is nice today, and the street is quite lively. Ms. Liao has time, why don't we go for a walk together on the street?" Walk?"

"Madam invited Liao Shuang to be delighted. He happened to be somewhat familiar with Rongcheng. If Madam doesn't dislike it, I will accompany Madam for a good tour."

"Thank you so much for that."

"Ma'am is too polite."

The two went to the street together. After hearing the news, Mu Qingchen slightly raised the corners of her lips, and told the guards to protect them:

It seems that Meng Rou wanted to find out about the enemy's situation. She didn't say it on the face, but she must be jealous and defensive in her heart.

Thinking of it this way, I immediately felt happy.

On the street, Meng Rou walked slowly. Apart from other factors, Rongcheng was really beautifully built.

Rongcheng originally lived in the south of the Yangtze River, and the buildings here are exquisite and elegant. Perhaps because of King Rong's plan, the buildings here also incorporate some northern characteristics.

At a glance, the roads are flat and wide, the houses are neat, and the layout of the buildings is rigorous. Just looking at it makes people feel very comfortable.

Suddenly, Meng Rou's footsteps stopped, and she saw exquisite glass bottles placed on a street stall, and in the glass bottle was a delicate and beautiful rose, on which was perched a Colorful butterfly.

"This is……"

Glass bottles are extremely expensive to make, and logically speaking, they should be sold in shops. How can they be seen in ordinary small stalls?
Liao Shuang thought that Meng Rou liked such gadgets, so she explained:

"I don't know when it started. This kind of glazed bottle is sold very well in Rongcheng. It is usually sold in such a small stall. It is quite popular, and you can't grab it! This bottle I don’t know how to preserve the roses and butterflies in the garden, as long as they are taken back and placed carefully for a year or two, the flowers and butterflies will not wither and fade.”
