Chapter 194 The Childish King Jin

In Yongjia City, in a restaurant under the Mu family business, Ruan Fu and Qing Yi were sitting by the window.

Since Ruan Fu got married, the two haven't seen each other for a long time. Since the last time they met Emperor Yuanchang, the Mu family and the royal family have carried out some cooperation. Tsing Yi has also started the Mu family's business plan in various parts of the Central Plains. Therefore, this period of time has been very busy, but she is the person in charge of the Mu family after all. Although many things need to be done by herself, more often she discusses some things with some shopkeepers who are now under the more important responsibilities of the Mu family business, and personally arranges some things. It's just a matter.

A few months have passed, and no matter how big the deployment is, it has gradually been arranged.

When going out today, Ruan Fu didn't come to see Tsing Yi on purpose, but she was away from home, and she was more used to coming to Mu's restaurant and teahouse, but Tsing Yi happened to be in Ruyi Building today, so the two simply sat down and chatted for a while.

"How is the company doing?" Ruan Fu asked, "What's the trouble?"

Tsing Yi shook his head, "With His Majesty's support and will, the government can give support in all parts of Chen Kingdom, and there are not too many problems at present, it's just that some people don't dare to take risks in places farther away from Yongjia. , no matter how much it is, it is just a competition between firms. However, the background of the Mu family is there. Since... the case was overturned, some of those who left back then wanted to come back. , but it opened the door of convenience, the princess need not worry about it."

Ruan Fu shook his head, "I don't worry about it, you are a descendant of the Mu family, and you can naturally inherit the capabilities of the Mu family in business, but now you can only expand the countries of the Central Plains step by step if you are firmly established in the Chen country. markets everywhere."

Tsing Yi nodded, "We think so too."

Ruan Fu thought for a while, and said, "You should know about the grassland envoy's visit to Beijing, right?"

Tsing Yi nodded.

Then he paused and said, "Wangfei thinks the Mu family should take this opportunity to enter the grassland?"

Ruan Fu smiled, "With your business sensitivity, I'm afraid you have already thought about it?"

Tsing Yi said, "Indeed, the wish of the Mu family has always been to establish a business name that goes through the Central Plains and even the world, so as to benefit the people. A few years ago, the situation of the grassland was not as good as it is now, and the Mu family's ability is still limited. It's a good season to open the trade route to the grassland. However, the situation on the grassland has improved in the past two years, especially in the middle road. Although there are still some open and secret struggles within the chief tribe, the general situation has been gradually grasped. If the Mu family chooses to open up trade routes going west and north through the grassland at this time, it is indeed a good time, but... for this matter, it is always necessary to contact the chief tribe, especially... at the beginning At that time, the construction and development of trade routes still needed the support and maintenance of grassland officials."

Tsing Yi said it solemnly and seriously, obviously this matter has been carefully considered by her.

Ruan Fu smiled, "It seems that you have already figured out what to do. Today's Mu family is half-official and half-people, and His Majesty also attaches great importance to it. You need to talk to His Majesty about this matter first, and wait for the grassland envoys to After entering Beijing, His Majesty will arrange for the Mu family to contact the Grassland. Two days ago, His Majesty also mentioned this matter. It seems that there will not be too many changes. Now, not only the Mu Family, but also the Chen Kingdom and the Grassland. The borderlands also need to do something to benefit the people more, taking advantage of the peaceful days in the past few years."

Tsing Yi nodded thoughtfully, "I understand."

On the other hand, Pan Xia watched the two of them talking here for a long time, and felt dizzy.

Although Ruan Fu has been with Ruan Fu for a long time, even in the first few years, Ruan Fu and Tsing Yi dealt with the Mu family's affairs together, but she is lazy and rarely participates in these matters, so she doesn't understand clearly. Some dizzy.

She blinked, "Sister Tsing Yi, you are much better than before!"

Tsing Yi saw that she was still the same little girl as before, as if she would never grow up, and smiled helplessly, "Do you think it's like you, who have been with the princess for so many years, and still look like this little girl, I don't know , On weekdays, it is you who take care of the princess more, or the princess takes care of you more."

Pan Xia was dissatisfied, puffed up her mouth, and looked at Tsing Yi angrily.

Tsing Yi thought it was funny, and poked her face with her hand, Pan Xia snorted softly, but when she rolled her eyes, she seemed to recall something, "A few days ago, sister Tsing Yi went to the south?"

Tsing Yi looked at her, was silent for a long time, raised his eyebrows and said, "Why, do you want to go out to play?"

In the past, Pan Xia always followed Ruan Fu to travel around. In the past two years, she has indeed settled down a lot. I'm afraid this girl will feel bored and panic.

Pan Xia's eyes lighted up, "That's not true, the princess stays in Yongjia, so I stay in Yongjia. When the princess goes out, I go out."

Only then did Tsing Yi chuckle, "Well, I've grown up, and my heart has settled down!"

"Sister Tsing Yi!"

Seeing Pan Xia's appearance, Ruan Fu and Tsing Yi all laughed.

But Pan Xia's sharp eyes suddenly saw Qian Susu, Tang Qiuya and others coming up the stairs, but...beside them, there were two men, Pan Xia smiled and said, "Princess, over there, Miss Tang and Miss Qian."

Ruan Fu followed the sound and looked over, and indeed he saw the two people, but after seeing the people beside them, he raised his eyebrows again.

Over there, Tang Qiuya and the others also saw Ruan Fu, and there was still some surprise in their expressions. Tang Qiuya and Qian Susu looked at each other, but there was a little more annoyance in their expressions, but they were slightly annoyed with Tang Qiuya and Qian Susu. What's different is that when the two men saw Ruan Fu, their eyes shone brightly, and they couldn't hide their joy.

These two people are now studying in the Imperial Academy. According to her understanding, although they are inexperienced, they have some abilities. Both Lin Mo and Li Xiu have praised these two people, and they are obviously very optimistic. If there are more people in the courtyard, Lin Mo is obviously already considering the abilities of these two people.

Seeing the other side, Ruan Fu smiled and said, "Qiuya, Susu, do you want to come over and have a sit together? Also, Master Chen and Master Yuan?"

Chen Xiuqi and Yuan Hui naturally wanted what they wanted, and they looked at each other with a little excitement in their expressions, and walked forward, "Princess Jin."

Ruan Fu nodded to indicate that a table of eight immortals was more than enough for a few people to sit down. Now that they had already met, Tang Qiuya and Qian Susu naturally had no reason not to come.

So they also came over and sat down next to Ruan Fu and Tsing Yi respectively.

The identity and status of the Mu family in Yongjia City is now known to almost everyone, so naturally they don't feel that much, and they all nodded and greeted Tsing Yi.

Ruan Fu smiled and said, "Today is a coincidence, did the two of you make an appointment to go out together?"

Unexpectedly, Tang Qiuya and Qian Susu immediately vetoed, "No!"

The speed of this denial was so fast, coupled with the slightly red faces of the two, Ruan Fu also guessed what was going on, looked at the two with a smile, then looked at Chen Xiuqi and Yuan Hui, and said, "It seems that we met by chance Well, today is a good day."

Chen Xiuqi is the older one in terms of age and qualifications, even several years older than Ruan Fu. Although he can't hide his admiration for Ruan Fu, he is not stupid. He obviously knows that Ruan Fu is The talk was meant to be joking, and I couldn't help but say, "I was originally walking with... and Ya'er, I didn't want to run into Brother Yuan and Miss Qian, it just happened to be time for dinner, so I made an appointment to come together Ruyilou was having dinner, but I ran into Princess Jin, and asked her to forgive her, Ya'er has lost face, so stop joking."

When Tang Qiuya heard this, the case under the table tugged at Chen Xiuqi's sleeve, and glanced at him, intending to stop him from speaking.

Ruan Fu covered his lips and smiled, "Of course I know, it seems that Mr. Chen is the son-in-law Tang Shangshu talked about."

Chen Xiuqi's ears were slightly red, but he didn't know how to answer right now.

On the other hand, Yuan Hui immediately said, "That's right, brother Chen said just now that the date of marriage with Miss Tang has been fixed, it will be at the end of May this year, and there is still more than a month left, and preparations are underway. I'm afraid the invitation will be sent out soon."

Ruan Fu smiled and said, "Qiu Ya hasn't told me about it yet, so I'll congratulate you both first."

Tang Qiuya has a low face, how can she bear this, she struggled and said, "Afu, stop talking..."

On the contrary, even though Chen Xiuqi was a little shy at the moment, he held Tang Qiuya's hand under the table, "Indeed, I hope the princess can come to have a sip of wedding wine when the time comes."

"Of course, Qiu Ya is my friend, if you don't invite me, I'm not willing."

After she finished speaking, she looked at Qian Susu again, "Susu and Master Yuan..."

Qian Susu coughed softly, "He is my brother's friend, I will show him around Yongjia City as a landlord!"

She was not blushing at the moment, and Yuan Hui, who was next to her, choked and shook her head helplessly.

Ruan Fu looked at these two people, and probably knew what was going on, but he raised his eyebrows and looked at Yuan Hui, who then explained, "I was studying in Yongjia, and I was lucky enough to meet Brother Qian last year. Quite talkable."

Ruan Fu nodded and said, "Master Yuan has been studying in Yongjia for two or three years. I remember the last time I saw Master Yuan was when he was in the recruiting hall..."

Unexpectedly, when Yuan Hui heard this, his eyes lit up, "Princess still remembers me!"

Ruan Fu was taken aback by his expression as if meeting an old acquaintance in a foreign land, and Yuan Hui said excitedly, "Two years ago in the recruiting hall, Bai Yinbing's words were ear-splitting and benefited me a lot. , However, there was no news of Brother Bai since then, which made me feel lost for a while. In my heart, I really regarded Brother Bai as a good teacher and helpful friend. Only later did I know that Brother Bai was Ruan Tongzhi, but I have no face to visit ..."

This sudden change and excitement made Ruan Fu stunned again, and then he smiled, "Master Yuan..."

However, Yuan Hui immediately realized that he felt a little excited just now, and hurriedly said, "Princess, forgive me, it's really me... I'm a little excited, a little offended..."

Seeing that she saw Ruan Fu as if seeing the most holy teacher, Qian Susu next to her couldn't help but glared at him, and hummed softly, "When you were talking with my brother in the mansion, you always That's the way it is when it comes to Alfred!"

Then he looked at Ruan Fu and said, "A Fu, don't pay attention to him, but he worships you, which is what he should do. Even if he has been studying for ten or eight years, he is definitely not half as good as you."

Yuan Hui was a little helpless, "Yes, yes, Princess Jin is a celebrity in the world, with a lot of talent and learning, I can't compare to it."

Then he looked at Ruan Fu apologetically.

Ruan Fu smiled, the way the two get along, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer, what can she say, Yuan Hui is obviously yielding to Qian Susu step by step.

She smiled and said, "Master Yuan is still young. In ten or eight years, it is not impossible to become a famous official of the generation. Su Su shouldn't talk too much."

Qian Susu glanced at Yuan Hui and snorted softly.

But seeing the people next to him, he couldn't help but smile knowingly.

Whether it is Chen Xiuqi or Yuan Hui, they all have great respect for Ruan Fu, and now they are able to eat at the same table with Ruan Tongzhi of the current dynasty. Naturally, they are asking some questions with Ruan Fu at the same table, and they have a good conversation look.

The two looked revered, slightly excited, and almost regarded themselves as students in the school who were asking teachers for advice.

It was helpless to see Tang Qiuya and Qian Susu beside them, they naturally knew how much they respected Ruan Tongzhi at the time, but seeing them now, they couldn't help feeling sour in their hearts.

Yuan Hui looked a little excited, and even stood up, speaking incoherently, "Ruan Tongzhi, Princess Jin, today really benefited me a lot. A few words made me suddenly enlightened. Listening to your words is better than reading ten years of books. I , I don’t even know how to express my respect for Ruan Tongzhi.”

Chen Xiuqi also said with a smile, "Brother Yuan has been thinking about this issue for many days and discussed it with me, but we were too rigid, and now it finally dawns on us..."

Ruan Fu smiled helplessly, "You are just inexperienced, and you have just entered the court now, and you still have time, pay more attention, and your thinking will be broadened. If you can become this year's Jinshi, you are naturally talented people. I have seen the articles and theories written by you from the hands of the elders of the Imperial Academy, and they are unique, pragmatic, and very good."

The eyes of the two people who received the praise brightened. They obviously felt that even though they had achieved good results in this year's Spring Festival, they were not as happy as Ruan Fu's face-to-face affirmation. After all, they had all seen Ruan Fu's ability in political affairs. .

Just when the few people were chatting happily, a joking voice came from the stairs, "Sister-in-law four, you have come to the restaurant from the courtyard to preach."

It was Yu Wuhen's voice, and Ruan Fu raised his eyes to look over, but saw Yu Wujue, Yu Wufan, Yu Wuhen, and Hang Zhishan, who had been working with Tsing Yi, were also among them.

After Yu Wuhen finished speaking, he walked towards them with a smile on his face. Except for Ruan Fu, almost everyone who was sitting at the table stood up and saluted them one after another, "His Royal Highness, Ji His Royal Highness, Twelve Princes."

Yu Wuhen waved his hand, "When you're away from home, you can do whatever you want." After saying that, he sat down opposite Ruan Fu very bluntly.

Yu Wujue seemed to have nothing on his face, but his eyes lingered on Chen Xiuqi and Yuan Hui, and then looked at Ruan Fu, with the corners of his lips slightly raised.

Ruan Fu coughed lightly, looked at Yu Wujue, "Why are you here?"

Yu Wufan looked away from Tsing Yi beside him, and said, "Fourth Sister-in-law, I was discussing with Fourth Brother and Young Master Hang next door, I didn't expect you to be here."

When Hang Zhishan saw Tsing Yi, he also went over to say hello, "Miss Mu."

Tsing Yi nodded slightly, "Thank you for your hard work."

Hang Zhishan didn't think it was a big deal, he and Yu Wufan had been negotiating most of the business matters during this time, but Yu Wujue had already sat down beside Ruan Fu, who had had a good chat with Ruan Fu before. A few people can only be moved to the next table, but they are not far away, so it is not necessarily inconvenient.

Yu Wujue gently held Ruan Fu's hand under the table, and put it on his knee, Ruan Fu said, "Is the matter over?"

Yu Wujue shook his head, "Not really, but I heard that the concubine is here, so I came out to have a look."

Listening to this, the people next to him didn't think there was any problem.

However, when Ruan Fu choked, didn't she know that even she had a lot of reasons to be dissatisfied when she fed Pangpang, and now...Looking at the look in his eyes that just looked at Yuan Hui and Chen Xiuqi, she felt that she was afraid of this People are very upset at the moment.

The arrival of Yu Wujue and the others broke the previous happy conversation. After all, these people are princes, and one of them is King Jin who many people look up to. Therefore, after Chen Xiuqi and Yuan Hui looked at each other, they said: , "If the lord and the concubine have something to discuss, the next official will leave first."

Yu Wujue glanced lazily at the table next to him, with the same expression as usual, "It's nothing, since we're here, let's sit together, it's just time for meal, let's pass the dishes."

Yu Wujue had already said that, what else could everyone do, naturally they sat in their seats again.

Then Yu Wujue said unhurriedly to the table of Chen Xiuqi and Yuan Hui, "What were you talking about just now, this king sounds very lively."

Seeing that Yu Wujue asked this question on his own initiative, the topic that had just stopped because of the arrival of Yu Wujue and others resumed, Yuan Hui's expression became a little excited again, "Xiaguan and Princess Jin are discussing some political affairs , Thanks to the advice of the princess, the lower official feels suddenly enlightened."

Chen Xiuqi also said, "That's exactly the case, Wang Hao really has unique views on political affairs, and the lower officials have benefited a lot."

Yu Wujue glanced at Ruan Fu, smiled slightly, and said, "The princess said that the two of you have a lot of talent, and you will become great talents in the future."

Ruan Fu was a little speechless, that's not what she said just now, but it's true that these two people have good knowledge.

Chen Xiuqi and Yuan Hui looked at each other, and said modestly, "My concubine is absurd, I still have a lot of shortcomings, I have to learn more from Princess Jin."

Yu Wujue nodded in agreement, "I need to learn more, but since the concubine has praised you so much, it must not be bad. I would also like to hear your views on political affairs... Since I have free time today, um, I will Let’s talk about the recovery after the disaster in the north since the beginning of this year.”

With Yu Wujue's gentle and casual tone, Ruan Fu sighed slightly in his heart, planning not to speak anymore, just let him go.

So, next, several people at the table, seeing His Royal Highness Prince Jin's gentle look, vetoed all the opinions and suggestions put forward by Chen Xiuqi and Yuan Hui about the post-disaster restoration in the north.

Although everyone thinks that those suggestions are indeed some good suggestions, it is not easy for two young people to come up with these measures in such a short period of time, but every time they come out The gentle-spoken His Royal Highness King Jin could always veto the two of them bit by bit, making them look anxious, pale, and full of doubts about themselves.

Just when the two of them couldn't answer, Yu Wujue raised his eyebrows and glanced at Ruan Fu while he was waiting gently, thinking that "these two are not very qualified people". When he came up, he spared the two of them, and in the end he even lightly left a sentence to go back and think about it.

The two of them had been so shocked that they lost the excitement they had when they saw Ruan Fu, and the whole dinner table was in a trance.

What Ruan Fu could say, she was sure, if she said something more, Chen Xiuqi and Yuan Hui would die of shame today.This person is getting more and more childish!This ability to play a rogue is more and more like a fat man who can't eat peach blossom cake!
Yu Wujue, on the other hand, sat beside Ruan Fu with a relaxed expression and prepared vegetables for her. He didn't think there was anything wrong with Ruan Fu's subtle eyes, as if he hadn't done anything to overwhelm others with intelligence just now.

On the contrary, Yu Wuhen and Yu Wufan were watching from the side, and they already understood what was going on in their hearts, but it was just the narrow-mindedness of the fourth brother. How could he allow people to express their respect in front of the fourth sister-in-law, and how could he like the fourth brother? The sister-in-law praised others so much, but for the sake of her own good life in the future, she didn't laugh out loud, she could only suppress a muffled laugh.

Even Tsing Yi had a smile on her always prudent and steady face, she talked to Hang Zhishan next to her from time to time, but when she suddenly looked up, she saw Yu Wufan looking at her in amazement.

The two looked at each other, Tsing Yi calmly moved his eyes away, but Yu Wufan's eyes were a little gloomy when he saw this.

He was sitting diagonally opposite Tsing Yi, and he naturally saw the smile on her face just now, Tsing Yi rarely smiled, the few times it made his heart tremble, and certain thoughts became more intense.

After lunch, Chen Xiuqi and Yuan Hui bid farewell to Yu Wujue and the others in a trance because of the blow just now. Tang Qiuya and Qian Susu also bid farewell to Ruan Fu. Ruan Fu watched the four of them leave. Going to, you can still hear Tang Qiuya's soft comforting voice and Qian Susu's unceremonious mocking voice, and she can't help shaking her head.

Then he looked at Yu Wujue and sighed.

With a smile on the corner of Yu Wujue's lips, leisurely, he gently squeezed her fingers and played with them, fondling her.

Yu Wujue glanced at Tsing Yi and said, "For business matters, His Majesty may announce you into the palace in these two days."

Tsing Yi nodded, "Tsing Yi understands, thank you for reminding me, my lord."

Yu Wujue nodded and said, "If you encounter any problems, you can find Lao Liu, he can solve it."

Tsing Yi seemed to pause for a moment, and then said in a deep voice, "Yes."

Yu Wufan's eyes lit up, and he looked at Yu Wujue gratefully.

Just when a few people were about to go downstairs, they suddenly heard screams coming out of the window next to them.

The location of Ruyi Building is excellent. The bustling city is just below the window. There was a lot of commotion, and the faces of the few people were slightly startled. They saw a carriage being driven forward by a horse on the street below, but the horse seemed to be mad. Usually, they didn't obey the command, and just kept rushing forward, causing panic in the downtown area, especially chaos, and people on the street also panicked and dodged, but in front of the carriage, there was an old man and a child standing in the middle of the road, He watched the carriage rushing towards him as if he had been frightened, and he opened his eyes wide to see the carriage rushing towards him but remained indifferent.

Tsing Yi's complexion changed slightly, and in the blink of an eye, a blue figure flashed, and Tsing Yi's figure was no longer seen by the window, Yu Wuhen hurriedly leaned over to the window to take a look, and in an instant, he saw the rampaging horse being pulled by both hands Holding the reins was almost at the same time, but when the knife was lifted and the knife fell, everyone saw blood spattering, and a fine horse was chopped down in front of everyone.

The carriage stopped suddenly, and there was a bang sound, and the sound of gasping sounded one after another.

This scene is really terrifying.

Someone nearby immediately came to the middle of the road and took the grandparent and grandson away with weak legs.

Yu Wufan landed on Tsing Yi's side in shock, pulled him by, and said impatiently and angrily, "This horse is too violent, if you come down directly like this, you are very likely to be injured, do you know that!"

After all, he didn't care about the people around him, the horses that were killed on the ground, and the messy carriage that stopped suddenly, and directly took Tsing Yi's hand, and saw that a touch had been drawn between the palms that were holding the reins. Very eye-catching bloodstains.

Seeing this, he frowned, and looked carefully, his expression looked hurt as if he was not Tsing Yi, but Tsing Yi broke free all of a sudden, "Please worry, my lord, I'm fine."

Yu Wufan was slightly angry, "You!"

But Tsing Yi frowned and looked at the carriage, only to see that the horses had been beheaded, and after the carriage settled down, a woman was leaning against the wall of the carriage, looking at Yu Wu in front of the carriage with a pale face. Fan and Tsing Yi.

Tsing Yi returned to his indifferent expression, but Yu Wufan frowned slightly. This person was the daughter of the Wen family's concubine. It was Wen Ningyu who played a piece of music for him at the Flower Festival a few days ago.

Perhaps because the horse was frightened, Wen Ningyu was sitting in the carriage, a little shocked, her face was pale, and she looked very embarrassed. It was a bit inconsistent with the gorgeous woman who was praised for her rhythm at the Flower Festival that day. .

Seeing Yu Wufan outside, the unrepentant maid in the carriage almost climbed out of the carriage, seemed about to cry with joy, and came straight to Yu Wufan, "His Royal Highness, save my lady quickly!"

The veins on Yu Wufan's forehead twitched violently, and almost subconsciously pulled his Tsing Yi and took a step back.
