The temple stroll ended early because of the encounter with the three Mu Lingbao, on the way back, Mu Hanzhang sat on the back of his horse, remembering how those three people were clearly beaten up just now but still had a smile on their faces, he couldn't help but want to laugh.
Looking down and seeing the way the person in his arms pursed his lips to hold back a smile, Jing Shao decided to find a chance to beat those three up a few more times in the future. When Mu Ling Bao pushed his younger brother into the water, those two cousins were also present, so when this year's Sanjiu, let people throw them into the river to take a dip as well.
The King Cheng's Residence was in the east of the city, and the piece of barren forest that the Marquis of Northern Wei had given him was also in the east of the city. Riding Little Black out of the city not far, in front of the eyes appeared the deserted forest full of rocks and stones. Mu Hanzhang glanced sideways at the contemplative Jing Shao, still thinking about that pink-clothed woman? Thinking of his reaction at that time, the upward curved corners of his mouth slowly pursed into a line. "Little spoon ......"
"Hmm?" Jing Shao looked back down at him.
Who is that woman? To ask the words to the edge of the mouth and swallowed back, Mu Hanzhang pursed his lips, turned his head to look at the barren forest: "What do you think this barren forest planted to make money?"
"Barren forest?" Jing Shao raised his head to look at the forest, snorted, "This kind of forest, with more rocks and less soil, also can not run a horse to hunt ......" Said Jing Shao here, Jing Shao suddenly pulled the reins, stopping to look at a barren forest in front of him in contemplation.
This forest has at least three hundred acres, all messy rocks and mixed forests, as well as dense short trees and weeds, so that you can't even see what's going on inside, making it a good place to canton troops! Moreover, this place is only twenty miles away from the capital! It's a pity that all the land on the outskirts of the capital is owned by the owners, when the Great Ancestor fought for the world, he divided the land around the capital to several founding princes. If he were to openly buy this useless barren forest, he would certainly arouse suspicion.
"Jun Qing, do you know who owns this forest?" If there is this forest, a lot of things will be better, if there is an eventuality in the future, there will also be a guarantee, even if it takes some effort, Jing Shao also wants to get this piece of land.
Mu Hanzhang lowered his head and sighed softly, "This forest is now the majority of my family property."
Jing Shao froze for a moment, then smiled broadly and planted a kiss on the cheek of the person in his arms, "Jun Qing, you are truly my lucky star!"
"Hmm?" This time, it was Mu Hanzhang's turn to freeze.
"I'll trade you a hundred acres of good land in Qi County for this barren forest, okay?" Jing Shao lightly kicked the horse's belly, causing Little Black to run in joy.
"If you want to use it, just take it." Mu Hanzhang felt that Jing Shao was trying to help him with this useless land, "It's just that a hundred acres of good land in exchange for this thing is a million times too much."
"It makes, this barren forest is worth more to me than a thousand acres of good land!" Jing Shao laughed lightly and wrapped one arm around the person in his arms, making Little Black run faster.
In the evening, the two guards who had been sent out by Jing Shao to find someone returned.
"Subordinate is incompetent." The two guards kneeled down to apologize.
"That's just it, perhaps this king has misread it." Jing Shao waved his hand for them to go down, frowning and pondering himself. The woman he saw at the temple fair today did indeed resemble Ge Ruoyi.
The reason why Jing Shao paid so much attention was because this man was a key to pacifying San Fan.
The first time Jing Shao saw Ge Ruoyi in his previous life was at a banquet at the fourth prince's residence, and this woman's performance of "Butterfly Lovers" was so memorable that he remembered it vividly. So much so that when he saw her at the Southeast King's royal residence a few years later, he recognized her at once. She had a blood feud with the Southeast King, came to the capital to sue the royal court but was intercepted by the fourth prince, escaped from the fourth prince's mansion and mixed into the Southeast King's mansion by whatever means, and became the Southeast King's favorite concubine.
When Jing Shao led the troops to pacify San Fan, although the Southeast King was lustful and greedy for money, he fought in the war but was not ambiguous at all, Hongzheng eighteen years that almost took his life an arrow, is to pay tribute to the Southeast King's generals. When he thought he was going to be folded in the southeast, suddenly came the news that the southeast king died violently. And the Southeast King, it was in the hands of this weak-looking little woman that he died!
When Mu Hanzhang came to tell Jing Shao to go bathe, he was seeing his expression immersed in memories and couldn't help but quietly clench his sleeves.
Regarding Ge Ruoyi's whereabouts, there had been no news coming in, so Jing Shao put it behind him for the time being.
With his own Wangfei helping to copy books, Jing Shao was relieved to spend his days in the courtyard practicing martial arts with Ren Feng, and in the evenings, he soaked in the hot springs and drank wine with Jun Qing, and had an exceptionally pleasant time. He finally realized why Mu Lingbao's trio always bullied Mu Hanzhang, the feeling of having someone to do his homework for him was really great.
Originally agreed to just stay for two days, but it turned out that Jing Shao didn't want to go back once he stayed.
April 9, the North Marquis of Wei birthday, in addition to Mu Hanzhang hand-painted birthday map, Jing Shao also sent a thick gift. Beiwei Marquis Mu Jin saw Jing Shao than the last time but also warm, but for Jing Shao implicitly pulling together the intention is still vague past. Jing Shao also do not care, he knows the North Marquis of Wei this old fox hold is what mentality, so pull together when the posture is also put very high, did not force.
To the crowd's surprise, the fourth prince Jing Yu also came to wish birthday, but Jing Yu put down the gift and Mu Jin pleasantries for a while and left, because he is still in the confinement, specially let the mother ask for the grace to run out of half a day. The capital of these princes and lords of the family are less and have in-laws, the Marquis of Beiwei and the Queen's mother's family Yongchangfu is no exception, so the fourth prince to ask for the grace to the Marquis of Beiwei birthday celebration is also said to be the past.
Mu Hanzhang saw that his father was even more enthusiastic about the fourth prince than Jing Shao, and only felt cold in his heart, so he told his father that Jing Shao was also being punished, and could not stay for long, so he pulled him away.
"Junqing, I'm fine." Jing Shao sat in the carriage, looking at his own princess who was cold-faced, feeling warm in his heart, the only person who would be angry because he was wronged, other than his mother and brother, would be Jun Qing.
"The fourth prince has reached the age of choosing the right consort, it just so happens that the first miss of the Beiwei Marquis House has not yet married, my father ......" Mu Hanzhang pursed his lips, his father knows that Jing Shao is not in the same faction as the fourth prince, and still makes such plans, although this can protect the Beiwei Marquis House to all, but so thick and thin is really let a person's heart chills.
"Junqing," Jing Shao took him into his arms heartily, "Born in a family of princes and lords, there are some things that should not be forced."
Mu Hanzhang sighed, softened her body to lean against Jing Shao's chest, and said softly, "I know ......"
"Whinny~" The walking carriage suddenly braked, and the two people in the car violently fell forward. Jing Shao quickly hugged the person in his arms tightly and supported the bottom of the car with one hand, so that he didn't bump into it.
"Your Highness forgive me, I deserve to die." The driver of the car was busy voicing his apologies.
"What's going on?" After seeing that the person in his arms was unharmed, Jing Shao raised his voice to inquire.
"The horses of the Fourth Prince and the guards suddenly stopped, the little one couldn't stop in time." The driver lifted half of the curtain to show them the situation ahead.
Only to see a woman dressed in pink holding up a bloody certificate and kneeling in front of her horse, Jing Yu, who was dressed in a dark yellow imperial prince's regular clothes, was sitting on his horse, and after hearing what the woman said, he suddenly jumped off his horse and walked towards the woman.
"Oh no!" Jing Shao let go of the person in his arms and quickly jumped out of the car, rushing to the woman before Jing Yu and grabbing her arm, "Ruoyi, I finally found you!"
"You ......" the woman kneeling on the ground is Ge Ruoyi, originally heard that today's birthday of the Northern Marquis of Wei, she took the petition to stop a person who seems to have the highest status, how could she expect to suddenly rushed out of a man dressed in a moonlight-white Chinese dress suddenly grabbed her, but also called out her The girl's name, only to make her scared to stay on the spot.
"Third Imperial Brother, you recognize this woman?" Jing Yu frowned, "She just said she was going to sue the Imperial Court."
"She ah, is a dancer I met in the desert," Jing Shao pointed to his head, "Fans, some unclear here." Without waiting for Ge Ruoyi to argue, Jing Shao knocked the person unconscious with a hand slash and threw him to a guard.
Jing Yu heard this and looked Ge Ruoyi up and down, seeing that although this woman was haggard, she could not hide her beauty, and was indeed a rare beauty. He didn't doubt Jing Shao's words, because this woman did just say her name was Ruoyi.
"Some other day my brother will send you a better one." Jing Shao smiled and patted Jing Yu's shoulder, and the two of them made a few false pleasantries before going their separate ways. Jing Shao turned around and exhaled, letting the guards send Ge Ruoyi back to the other courtyard first.
In the afternoon, Mu Hanzhang sat in the study to continue to help Jing Shao copying books, in front of his eyes non-stop floating Jing Shao after seeing that woman's expression. Yesterday left him and chased him out, and today it's the same again, and after lunch he went to see that woman ......
Sore heart unbearable, back to God, only to find that copy the wrong line, only to tear the page to start again, again pen, but uncontrollably even wrote three "shao" word!
