Chapter 506
"That being said," Lu Mingxuan whispered, "If I had been lucky enough to stay in the mansion back then, I might not have been able to receive such treatment, so I really feel ashamed to receive it, why don't you put it away for me first, old lady, Give it to me when I really need it in the future? Anyway, those Zhuangzi shops, even if they are given to me, I may not care about them, and they will be wasted.”

Mrs. Lu wanted to persuade her again, but seeing that she really didn't want to take over those Zhuangzi shops, she had to say: "Well, I'll keep it for you first, and give it to you when you go out in the future. That child looks good now, but the more dowry a woman has, the more confidence she has, even if we spend money on it, as long as it can make him obedient and obedient for a lifetime, no matter how much money we spend, it will be worth it."

Hearing that Lu Mingxuan's forehead was sweating, she wanted to say that she wouldn't want a man who could be subdued with money, and Ling Mengqi was not that kind of person either. It can be seen that Mrs. Lu was serious. It was easy to say it, so I had to lower my head pretending to be shy, and uncovered this section.

When I returned to the Kongcui Pavilion for a while, Danbi was fine, but Nanny Duan and Mama Hang and the others were used to seeing good things. Seeing the box of gemstones and beads brought back by Lu Mingxuan, they still couldn't help but click their tongues, Mama Hang Yin tutted and said: "I heard that when the eldest princess descended back then, there were many unparalleled good things in the dowry. We have seen many of them in these years, but we didn't expect that those were only a small part. It's strange that people in the world often It is said that 'the emperor's daughter is not worried about marrying', if someone gives up the princess, the dowry of the princess alone is enough for several generations to live!"

Lu Mingxuan didn't speak, but secretly slandered that the emperor's daughter would not worry about getting married, but not many would live happily ever after. If she had a son in the future, even if he was to be a bachelor for the rest of her life, she would definitely not What kind of Lord is she, there is a ready-made lesson from the past, but then again, her son may not have the chance to be Lord, she is really worrying about nothing... The point is that she has not even married yet, who knows where her son is ?
Lu Mingxuan couldn't help but blush, thinking about all these things, how shameless and shameless?Because I was busy, I turned my thoughts to Ling Mengqi, and I don't know where he is now, and when will he come back?God bless, he must come back safely!
She was thinking of Ling Mengqi, and Ling Mengqi was also thinking of her at that time, and they had been separated for more than a month before he knew it, and he was really thinking about her all the time, fortunately, his mission was almost complete, and he could do it soon Returning to Beijing, he should be able to catch up with her 14th birthday, but it's a pity that she is not on her 15th birthday, otherwise he will soon be able to hug the beauty back!

Ling Mengqi stood on the deck with his hands behind his back. Although the weather in the evening was still very hot and the sunset was equally dazzling, but because there was always a wind blowing in front of him, it was much more comfortable than staying in the cabin.

"Report to Lord Qianhu, I found something!" Ling Mengqi was just thinking about Lu Mingxuan's thoughts, and the corners of his mouth were rarely smiling, when he heard his confidant Fengcheng's voice behind him.

Ling Mengqi didn't turn his head, but said in a low voice: "Where did you find it? But it's already been counted, is it correct?"

Feng Cheng replied in a respectful voice: "As you expected, it was found in the deep water under a wharf in the west of Yuncheng. It has been counted according to the list. All of them match the number, and none of them are bad!"

Ling Mengqi nodded: "You have done a good job. Pass on my words. Since the banner officer surnamed Wang keeps saying that he is not afraid of death and says 'he will be a good man again in 20 years', then he will be fulfilled. I have already found it, and it is useless to keep him!"

Feng Cheng complied, and walked off on his own, lightly stepping down to the cabin on the ground floor, Ling Mengqi continued to meditate.

This time he was ordered to go out of Beijing to investigate a property theft case, and the person who handled it was the banner officer surnamed Wang. After several months of investigation by the local yamen, he couldn't find out why, so he could only report to the higher authorities. Please help, originally this kind of case should be handled by the Six Doors, and it is really overkill to dispatch Jin Yiwei, but because the lost property is said to be related to a prince in Beijing, that prince found Commander Cao, the latter I couldn't shirk it, so I had to send him to take people away like this.

When he arrived at the scene of the incident, he quickly locked his target on the banner officer surnamed Wang, thinking that he was guarding himself and stealing himself, but the other party refused to admit it in every possible way. Fortunately, his people did not rest for twelve hours a day. He took turns staring at all the people related to him, and finally found the property, and he was finally able to return to Beijing to return to his life.

Thinking of this, Ling Mengqi couldn't help being relieved for a while, thinking to himself, if he has such a task in the future, he can push it off as soon as he can, so as not to be separated from Sister Xuan again. Sweet as sweet.

Before he knew it, it was getting dark, and a subordinate came to invite Ling Mengqi to have a meal in the cabin, and he went back to his own cabin.

When the meal was over, Ling Mengqi was about to order someone to send Fengcheng and his other confidant Meng Xingyun to ask questions, when he suddenly heard a loud "boom", and the ship began to shake violently with the loud noise He got up, as if he had hit something hard at the bottom of the water.

Ling Mengqi's heart skipped a beat, and he instinctively put his hand on the handle of the Xiuchun knife at his waist, leaping out of his cabin vigorously, shouting sharply: "Come on! What's going on!" He has already glanced around carefully.

Just now before he entered the cabin, there were a dozen boats of various sizes on the river, but none of them disappeared at some point. Even if it was already dark, it is human nature to see distant objects clearly. There should also be faint lights, but there is nothing on the river except the sparkling water waves with a faint moonlight.

Listening carefully again, except for the sound of water, there is silence all around, it is really strangely quiet, strangely quiet.

Fengcheng and Meng Xingyun rushed out one after the other, seeing Ling Mengqi, Meng Xingyun clasped his fists first and said in a deep voice: "Master Qianhu, just now, my subordinates have already asked the boatmen, saying that this piece of waterway is already complicated. , It is common for the hull to hit something under the water surface, and it will be fine after this period, and the subordinates have ordered them to speed up and get out of here as soon as possible!"

Ling Mengqi nodded, and said in a deep voice: "Understood." But he still didn't dare to relax his vigilance at all, "Pass on my words, let everyone be strict, and report immediately if there is an accident. Sneak attack, except to leave one alive, everyone else will be killed!"

"Yes, my lord!" Meng Xingyun and Feng Cheng agreed in unison, and was about to step back when a Jin Yiwei ran up from the hold with a face full of panic: "Master Qianhu, the bottom of the boat is leaking!"

Immediately afterwards, a dozen or so boatmen who had been staying in the bottom cabin all ran up in a panic: "The water is almost up to the thighs of the people. I beg the adults to find a way quickly. The little people don't want to die..."
