The Pastoral Empress Merchant

Chapter 722 Mu Jinxi Shameless?

As soon as Xiaobao's words came out, the scene was suddenly silent, Jue Lin frowned slightly, Mu Jinxi showed admiration, the second prince... his whole face was already black.

"Juelin, can't you just take care of your son? Is there anyone who talks to an elder like this?" The second prince gritted his teeth and said.

"What kind of elder, where did the elder come from? And Xiaobao cares about you. Seeing your dark face, he is worried that you are not feeling well. It's fine if you don't appreciate it. Why do you beat him up? You can't even compare to a child, what I just said Sure enough, there is nothing wrong." Mu Jinxi said, shaking her head.

"I am about the same age as Jue Lin. He is Jue Lin's son. Isn't he a junior? Isn't this prince an elder?" The second prince plausibly said.

It's decided, he wants Jue Lin's son to call him uncle!If it weren't for my young age, it would be good to call him Uncle. Calling Uncle would mean that Juelin is his younger brother. Ahahaha, although it is not true, it is good to comfort yourself. You can use it to make fun of Jue. Lin!

"What kind of elder are you? You are younger than Jue Lin! You should be called brother!" Mu Jinxi said, and before the second prince could speak again, she said to Xiaobao: "Xiaobao, when you see the second prince Just call him brother, you know?"

Xiaobao's blank eyes fell on the second prince, and a question mark appeared in his heart: brother?He is about the same age as his father, how old is he, and he wants to call such an old man his brother?

But Xiaobao thinks he is a good boy, since his mother said so, then he will call it according to his mother's will.

So Xiaobao shouted happily: "Brother!"

The second prince suddenly became flustered.

Jue Lin frowned and thought for a while and felt that there was nothing wrong with this. The second prince was originally Xiaobao's cousin, and it was right for the cousin to be called brother, so let's call him brother.

Jue Lin stretched out his hand and rubbed Xiaobao's head lightly, indicating that this name was fine, and he would call him brother from now on.

A family of three regardless of the second prince who has been beaten to pieces, Xiaobao walked in the middle, holding his father in one hand and mother in the other, bouncing forward. Not far ahead is the largest courtyard in the racecourse. A two-entry house, but although it is a two-entry house, the inside is relatively simple, so Jue Lin said that he will let people build another house here later, and it will be a courtyard for them to come and play in the future alright.

After the three of them walked a long distance, the second prince finally regained his composure. He glanced at the family of three who had gone far away, gritted his teeth in grief and indignation, and felt that he needed time to digest the huge blow, so he Don't go up to be stimulated.

So after the second prince snorted heavily, Buddha sleeve left from the other side, his footsteps were so heavy that it seemed as if he wanted to step on the ground to make a hole.

As they walked, Mu Jinxi couldn't help but look back, and asked with a snort: "Why did the second prince leave? Didn't you say that he wanted to be with us?"

Jue Lin said indifferently: "It is estimated that the blow was too great, so I have to take it easy, and when he recovers, he will come back together again. I don't know if he came here by coincidence, or..."

I still knew that he was bringing Jin'er and Xiaobao, so I came here to block people.

Mu Jinxi twitched the corner of her mouth and said, "Hit? We haven't done anything. Who hit him?"

Jue Lin thought for a while and said, "Maybe it's because he always thought that Xiaobao should be a, a bad kid, but who knew that Xiaobao could tell at a glance that he was a dragon among men with a clever appearance, which was a bit different from what he had imagined. Come in and out, you also know that he has always wanted to see me make a fool of myself."

"Dare to love because Xiaobao is so kind?" Mu Jinxi stared.

"should be."

Mu Jinxi was speechless.This second prince is not generally naive.

The three came to the meeting hall, and the servants in the racecourse immediately served hot tea and snacks. They had only eaten mutton not long ago, so they are not hungry at the moment, but they are a little thirsty, especially Xiaobao. , I ate a lot of mutton just now, and played for a while, and now I saw tea to drink, and I wanted to take a big sip when I quickly picked it up, but who knew it was scalded.

"Wow, it's so hot!" Xiao Bao kept sticking out his tongue with his wrinkled face.

Instead of feeling distressed, Mu Jinxi gloated and said, "You know that the tea is hot, but you are so impatient and want to take a big sip directly. Haste makes waste. Now you understand this truth? See if you dare to drink it in the future." Don't dare to be so careless!"

"Mother, Xiaobao knows he's wrong." Xiaobao looked at her pitifully.

"Come here, let mother take a look."

As soon as Xiao Bao heard this, he immediately walked over, his mouth widened, Mu Jinxi looked at it carefully and said: "It's nothing, it's just a little red, you can drink the tea when it's cold."

But Jue Lin ordered someone to change the cold water directly, and Xiao Bao had just drank it when the second prince's voice came out again.

"Juelin, are you abusing your son? Although it's not winter, you can't let your son drink cold water, right? Tsk tsk tsk, let me say that you are not as upright as you seem, right? Your son has been abused, so the common people should really see your true appearance!"

Juelin: "..."

Mu Jinxi: "..."

Xiaobao: "Brother, what are you talking about? It was Xiaobao who burned his mouth, so Daddy let Xiaobao drink cold water."

The smug smile on the second prince's face froze, realizing that he had done another stupid thing.

"Second prince, I know that you always want to see Juelin unlucky, to see him make a fool of himself, to see him make a fool of himself, but you can't do it like this. Look, you will make yourself a fool by accident, right? Listen to me, in the future Don't just stare at Jue Lin if you have nothing to do, you won't be able to catch his braid." Mu Jinxi persuaded kindly.

"Hmph, how do you know if you don't try?" He just doesn't believe in evil!He didn't believe that he would never be able to catch Jue Lin's braid!

Mu Jinxi twitched the corners of her mouth, and didn't bother to pay attention to him. This second prince is really a naive ghost, just like a child who hasn't grown up yet. He puts all his thoughts on his face. If he didn't know in advance that he is the second prince, She would never believe that he lived in the palace and belonged to the royal family.

This great Chu royal family is really a bit strange, it is not at all like what I imagined or thought.

But she is a little lucky. Jue Lin is a member of the royal family anyway. Although he was adopted to Prince Mu's mansion, it doesn't mean that no one knows his real identity. The eldest prince is one of them. This second prince It seems that he doesn't know, if the second prince succeeds in the future—no, if he succeeds, the Great Chu will probably fall down, and he can tell by looking like this that he is not a person who can govern the country.

But it will be even worse if the first prince succeeds to the throne. He obviously hates Jue Lin, even though he knows that Jue Lin is actually his uncle... The emperor's son, she seems to have only seen the first prince and the second prince. , the others seemed to have participated in the palace banquet, but at that time she didn't even look at anyone, she didn't know whether it was round or flat, let alone how he behaved.

This is a serious question. Which prince will succeed to the throne in the future will affect her stable life for the rest of her life. She is not so naive as to think that as long as they don't fight for others, they will let them go. The imperial power is the highest here. If you offend the emperor, then you really don't want to have a good life, and she is not alone, she still has relatives.

Mu Jinxi thought again and again, and it was not until the manager came in that she interrupted her thinking.

"I don't know why the princess asked her subordinates to come here? But what's wrong with the racecourse that bothers the princess?"

Mu Jinxi waved her hand and said, "No, I asked you to come here to discuss something with you. You are the manager here, so naturally I have to tell you. You should sit down first."

"This subordinate doesn't dare. Just ask the princess if you have something to do. This subordinate will definitely do his best to help the princess." Hearing Mu Jinxi's polite words, the manager said with some trepidation.

"You just do it if you are told to sit. Do you want me to look up at you if you are standing all the time? I am tired if you are not tired. Sit!" Mu Jinxi said impatiently.

Sometimes the people here just pay too much attention to etiquette and rules, which is troublesome.

The steward carefully glanced at the little prince who was sitting silently on the armchair, then at the second prince who was not looking well, and sat down after thinking about it.

The second prince was present and Mu Jinxi didn't feel the need to avoid him, anyway, what she said was not a secret.

"It's like this. Although your place is a horse farm, you also raise a lot of sheep. I just accidentally saw that you poured all the milk you squeezed into a river near the horse farm. I think it's a waste."

waste?That means they are ruining the little prince's things!This crime is not small!
The steward hurriedly said: "I don't know the princess. This goat milk tastes too embarrassing. It's not good to drink. Even if people in the racecourse drink it, they can only drink a small part. They can't sell it, so they have to throw it away. Now, Wangfei, please check clearly, it's not that the subordinates intentionally want to waste the little prince's things."

"You don't have to be nervous. I don't mean to blame you. I just think it's too wasteful. In the future, you will pack all the goat milk in wooden barrels and then transport it to Fangrong Pavilion in the capital." Mu Jinxi took it easy. Said.

The steward was startled, and asked reflexively: "Fangrong Pavilion? Isn't this... a beauty salon opened by the princess? What does the princess want this goat milk for?"

The second prince sitting beside him was also very curious about what Mu Jinxi wanted this goat milk for, to drink?Can you drink that much?People in the capital city don't seem to have the habit of drinking goat's milk, because it's too embarrassing, no one likes the taste, and people in the capital city don't lack this kind of thing to drink, and no one knows how to drink it.Mu Jinxi should know, so why does she need so much goat milk?
He also saw just now that the sheep raised in this horse farm are not one or two, nor a dozen, but dozens or hundreds of sheep. Every sheep produces milk, so there are many. She wants What is the use of so many?

Mu Jinxi smiled mysteriously: "You don't understand this, goat milk is a good thing, and you will gradually know about it in the future."

After she said that, the manager, as a subordinate of the little prince of the palace, naturally would not pursue the question, but responded: "Yes, the subordinate understands, Princess Qing, don't worry, the subordinate will take care of it."

"Oh, also, I heard from Juelin that the sheep raised in the racecourse are to be sold to other places, and the wool on the sheep is just too small for profit. Now I have a new one that can increase the profit. Just do what I tell you to do.”

"Princess please speak."

"What do you think of the whole lamb I roasted just now?" Mu Jinxi asked.

The steward's eyes lit up immediately, his mouth seemed to taste the tenderness and fragrance of mutton again, and his nose seemed to smell the alluring fragrance again.

It's just that before the manager had time to answer Mu Jinxi's words, the second prince couldn't help but interjected and asked, "What roasted whole lamb? What is that? The whole lamb is roasted? Can you still eat it like this?"

Xiao Bao also said happily: "Brother, yes, it was baked by Mother herself, it is delicious, it is the best meat Xiao Bao has ever eaten!"

The steward also nodded and said: "Yes, thanks to the princess, otherwise, my subordinates really wouldn't be able to taste such delicious food. I used to only know that mutton is smelly, old, and hard, but I didn't know that mutton can be so delicious! It was the princess who opened the eyes of the subordinates!"

The second prince was not happy: "Why didn't this prince eat it?" Since everyone said so, it must be very delicious. He has never eaten a roasted whole lamb!

Mu Jinxi squinted at him and said: "Second prince, we had already eaten when you came, and there were no bones left!" What else would he eat?Not a single scent left!
"Damn! You don't know how to save some delicious food for this prince. Do you still have this prince in your eyes?" The second prince yelled at the manager angrily.

The manager was very wronged, but he couldn't refute the second prince so straightforwardly, so it was hard to say.

"Before you came, did you send a letter saying you were coming? Or did you send someone to notify you that you were coming?" Mu Jinxi looked at the second prince and asked.

The second prince was startled, but he shook his head honestly and said, "Not really."

He just heard that Jue Lin brought their mother and son over, so he came after him to see, who knew... he was so angry, if he had known this would happen, he wouldn't have come over!
Mu Jinxi spread her hands and said: "That's it. Since you didn't notify in advance that you are coming, how could the people at the racecourse leave mutton for you? Good boy, stop making trouble, sit down, next time There is a chance to bake it for you again."

The second prince was about to explode when he heard her words, good boy, stop making trouble, but then she said that she would roast lamb for him again when she had the chance, and it was strange that her anger was calmed down immediately .

The second prince was stuck in his chest, unable to get up and down, and finally couldn't stand the temptation of the so-called roasted whole lamb, and said unwillingly: "This is what you said, and I will roast one for the prince in the future! Words mean what they say." ! Otherwise, this prince will blame Jue Lin and stalk him to death! Tangle him until you bake it!"

"It's up to you, good luck, return the prince, but it's just a sheep, what's the big deal, if it's not too late now, and I have to go back to the city later, I can roast another one for you right away. " Mu Jinxi said with contempt.

It's just roasting a sheep. She doesn't need to do the slaughtering and preparing other things by herself. She is just responsible for roasting. What's the problem? She's not the kind of stingy person.This second prince can be regarded as her favorite, if she didn't hate it at first glance, she couldn't like it, like that first prince, so she was willing to show a little kindness.

If the second prince is indeed a man with a knife mouth and a bean curd heart without a bad heart after continuing to contact in the future, then she would not mind making this friend. To be an enemy of Jue Lin is to be an enemy to her, and there is nothing she can do about the enemy.

The second prince looked at the sky outside, and it was really late, so he slumped on the chair immediately, making Mu Jinxi laugh for a while.

Jue Lin looked at the second prince with some surprise, propping his head on one hand, slumped on the chair and didn't make any more trouble. It was very strange, this second prince was never so easy to be persuaded, especially in the When facing him, he often had to make a fuss before giving up. How could he give up so easily today?

Well, Jin'er is still so powerful that even the second prince can easily subdue her.

Jue Lin gave Mu Jinxi a look of praise, and Mu Jinxi glanced at him proudly.

"Let's get back to business, manager. You have eaten roasted whole lamb, and you should know how delicious it tastes, so I want to add another dish in Hongyunlou, that is roasted whole lamb! Wait until everything is ready After that, you will have people prepare to send a fixed number of lambs to the Hongyun Building every day, understand what I mean?"

"Wangfei means that the sheep in the racecourse will be used as a raw material for a dish?"

"Well, that's right, that's the case. Of course, the accounts that should be settled still have to be settled. I can't blur the accounts just because I am a princess. It's just that in addition to your original use for the sheep at this racecourse in the future, they will also be sent to the Hongyun Building. One of the most important items, and the profit generated by this will be more lucrative than selling sheep outside the field.”

The steward asked with some concern: "It's just my lord, people in the capital don't have the habit or hobby of eating mutton. Although the roast mutton is delicious, will it, will it..." No one cares?
People's habits are so strange sometimes, even if it is delicious, it is very likely that they will not accept it without this habit. If this is the case, wouldn't the princess' plan be in vain?And that goat's milk, the princess wants to transport it to Fangrong Pavilion, Fangrong Pavilion is said to be a place dedicated to women's beauty, is goat's milk useful?

But Mu Jinxi didn't take the manager's worries to heart at all, and didn't take it seriously, "Don't worry, manager, since I decided to do this, I'm [-]% sure. The benefits of mutton are that you haven't realized it yet. Wait for you I realized..." I'm afraid I won't be able to snatch it away at that time, so I'll wait and see, especially for those ladies in the boudoir, eating mutton is the most nourishing.

There was a confident smile on the corner of Mu Jinxi's mouth, and her eyes were sparkling, so charming that the second prince couldn't help being stunned when he saw it.

Jue Lin was keenly aware of the dull gaze of the second prince, and couldn't help but frown, but after thinking about it, he felt that maybe he cared too much about Jin'er and was too nervous, so once a man showed something different to Jin'er He looked suspicious.

Jue Lin loosened her brows, and sighed softly in her heart, but Jin'er is so special, after a long time, there will always be someone as discerning as him, who will see the shining parts of her body, when the time comes...

I still hope that Chunwei will come quickly, and then my brother-in-law will be able to marry Jin'er back to the mansion after Chunwei's exam. When he marries Jin'er, even if someone in the future sees that Jin'er is good, it will not cause any harm to him. Threat, he is the prince, who else in Dachu would dare to rob him of his wife?
Hmph, if someone is so thoughtless, then he doesn't mind using some tricks, he is not a sick cat!
"Since the princess said so, then the subordinates should do their best to serve the princess." The manager stood up and bowed to Mu Jinxi, and said respectfully.

"Well, if mutton is used to eat, it must be absolutely guaranteed that the sheep is healthy and free from disease. You must pay more attention to this aspect in the future, as well as goat milk. After squeezing out, you must ensure that the goat milk is healthy. Clean, you know? No mistakes can be made!" Mu Jinxi said seriously.

Seeing that Mu Jinxi raised her face all of a sudden, the manager's heart shuddered, and he quickly responded: "Princess, don't worry, this subordinate understands, and will definitely take strict precautions."

"Well, let's do this first. I have prepared some other matters that need attention in the city. I will send someone to come over and talk to you in detail. When the time comes, you just follow the instructions of the visitor."

"Yes, Wangfei, this subordinate understands."

Mu Jinxi waved her hand, telling the manager to step back, and after a look, she found that Xiaobao had fallen asleep in Jue Lin's embrace for some unknown reason.

It seems that I am tired of playing.But Mu Jinxi still said: "Juelin, you can't hug him all the time, it's not good, it will make him develop dependence, you need to cultivate Xiaobao's independence."

She doesn't want her son to become a person who only depends on his parents when he grows up.

Jue Lin glanced at Mu Jinxi amusedly and said, "Isn't Xiaobao independent enough? I think Xiaobao is much more independent than other children of the same age, and isn't today a bit special? Outside, not in the house ,it does not matter."

Mu Jinxi thought for a while and said: "Okay, let's do it once, and we should avoid this in the future. He has grown up and can't hug him to sleep."

Jue Lin shook his head lightly and said, "Don't worry, Xiaobao is a sensible child, and he won't raise a fool. You see, he has been in the capital for such a long time, and he is still well-behaved and sensible, even Mr. Little Treasure is a rare smart child."

Mu Jinxi shrugged, noncommittal to Jue Lin's words.

The second prince sat aside and watched the interaction between Jue Lin and Mu Jinxi feeling a little puzzled.If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed that Juelin would have such a side, which was completely different from what he showed in front of others. He was full of warmth when facing Mu Jinxi and Xiaobao, just like a An ordinary husband is like a father.

Before, he thought that Jue Lin would fulfill the marriage contract because of his father's imperial decree, but after the news of that happened, he thought it was because Mu Jinxi gave birth to a son for him. Moreover, this child is still a son, so he is naturally a great hero of the palace.But now seeing him getting along with Mu Jinxi, I realized that it was not, he really liked Mu Jinxi, and he had a deep affection for her.

Thinking of this, the second prince couldn't help but cast his eyes on Mu Jinxi, wanting to see what kind of charm she has, which can attract Jue Lin, and make Jue Lin pay so much attention to her. From what happened just now, we can know Jue Lin attaches great importance to Mu Jinxi, and even pampers and trusts her.He knew that this racecourse had already been bought by Jue Lin, but now he let Mu Jinxi talk to the manager of the racecourse, without any intention of intervening, instead sat by the side and hugged his son to put him to sleep.It can be seen that Juelin's feelings for Mu Jinxi are not ordinary feelings.

Let’s talk about how beautiful Mu Jinxi is. He doesn’t think she is so beautiful. In the capital city, there are more beautiful people than her, and there are many more people with family background than her. Why does Jue Lin fall in love with her? ?

Thinking of this, the second prince stared at Mu Jinxi without blinking, and sized her up over and over again.

Her eyes are quite beautiful, standard almond eyes, inlaid on the face as big as a palm, a little shining, Emei is not as curvy as the ones in the noble girls in the capital, thin, a little rough, But it matched her eyes very well.The bridge of the nose is small and straight, but the pair of red lips under the bridge of the nose are very eye-catching. The corners of the lips always seem to be slightly raised. From his angle, it looks like she is smiling, which makes the big almond eyes more vivid .The skin is fair, shining with a lustrous luster, revealing a healthy color, and the powder is puffed.

The neck is slender and elegant, and sitting on the chair has a noble temperament.Hmm... The figure doesn't seem to be that good... When the second prince glanced at Mu Jinxi's chest, he flickered in embarrassment, then quickly moved away, taking a sneaky glance at Mu Jinxi Jue Lin was quietly relieved to see that he still focused on his son.

Hell, he really didn't want to be so worried and afraid at all, but if Jue Lin saw that he had just set his eyes on, on... then he would definitely not let him go easily, he dared to bet.

But he didn't do it on purpose, he just wanted to see what was so special about Mu Jinxi, and made Jue Lin so protective and pampering to her.

The second prince was thinking about it when Mu Jinxi asked coldly: "Second prince, have you seen enough?"

Mu Jinxi glanced at the second prince coldly.

Hmph, don't think she doesn't know that he's been staring at her. If it wasn't for the fact that his gaze didn't mean anything else, it was just pure curiosity, she would have lost her temper a long time ago.

Hearing Mu Jinxi's words, Jue Lin also shifted his eyes to the second prince. He was so cold that he couldn't help shaking when he saw it, and hurriedly said: "Don't get me wrong, I, this prince is just, just curious, I'm just curious about your charm that makes Juelin so devoted to you."

"What is there to be curious about? Of course it is because this lady is too outstanding. What else can there be other than this reason? Let me tell you, there will never be another person like me in this world. If Jue Lin He would be stupid if he doesn't like me, if he looks at me, it means he has good vision, understand?" Mu Jinxi raised her chin and said arrogantly with a smug gleam in her eyes.

Jue Lin was startled, looked at her blankly, then couldn't help but chuckled, amused by her arrogant appearance, but seeing her son sleeping in An'an's arms, she was afraid of waking him up, so she had no choice but to I endured it, and shrugged my shoulders.

The second prince was also stunned by Mu Jinxi's arrogant and shameless words.

Such a female second prince is simply something he has never seen or heard before. Today he was completely eye-opened. This Mu Jinxi not only has a vicious mouth, but also has an invincible and super thick skin!Listen, how can a normal woman say such a thing?Do you know how the word shy is written?Shameless?He didn't even blush when he said such words, tsk tsk tsk, he really couldn't help admiring him.

"What are you doing, what are you doing? Is there anything wrong with what I said? Have you seen any woman in this capital who is as smart as me? No? Is there anyone as capable as me? No? Doesn't that explain anything?" Mu Jinxi was not happy.

She was just telling the truth, what's wrong, hum, it's not good for people to be too modest!

After the second prince was shocked, he said in amazement: "Mu Jinxi, you really gave me a new understanding of women, and I admire you so much! You can say that, it's not something ordinary people can do." out."

"Rare is more strange!" Mu Jinxi snorted coldly.

Then he stared at Jue Lin sadly and asked, "Jue Lin, what were you laughing at?"

Jue Lin hurriedly said solemnly: "I'm happy, I'm glad that I have a good eye, really, don't you understand my feelings for you?"

Mu Jinxi squinted her eyes and stared at him for a while before retracting her gloomy eyes, stood up and said, "It's getting late, if we have nothing to do, let's go back to the city! It's late autumn now, and the sky is so dark Come on, go back early."

Jue Lin also stood up holding Xiaobao and said, "In that case, let's go back early, so as not to worry the family."

The two ignored the second prince Qiqi and walked towards the gate.

The second prince jumped up immediately, and shouted: "Hey, what's the matter with you two? When my prince didn't arrive! How dare you just ignore me and leave like this? You guys are so brave!"

"Second prince, keep your voice down. If you wake up my son, I won't let you go." Mu Jinxi glared at him, "Didn't you hear that we were going to go back to the city? Then we should part ways, what to do Why do you go, is it possible that you still stick to us and go back to the city?"

The second prince raised his chin and said, "Why not?"

Well, he really wanted to go back to the city with them.

"It's up to you, let's go." She has always been generous.

After Mu Jinxi said so, Jue Lin naturally had no objection, he glanced at the second prince lightly and followed Mu Jinxi out.The second prince was startled and hurriedly followed out.

　I'm sorry I can't update it today, I will continue to update it tomorrow
