MTL - After I was Exiled, I Became a Noble Minister-Chapter 276 276th

The sun sets, the sky is full of colorful clouds, and the low-key and luxurious carriage is driving on the street.

The lively hawking continued on the street, Mu Wanqing heard that there was a candied haws for sale, so she went down to buy a few.

Mu Wanqing nibbled at the sugar candied haws slowly, and instructed softly, "Go check the whereabouts of the Mu family's children in the past few days, the focus is on Mu Shiqi, and report all the whereabouts to me."

"Yes."

When passing by Du Shuai's mansion, Mu Wanqing took a look, still closed the door to thank the guests, "Du Shaoxuan is still on the mountain to keep his filial piety?"

The maid calculated the time, "It's been 100 days, and I should be going down the mountain to celebrate the New Year."

Mu Wanqing nodded slightly, "Add 10% to Du Shuai's New Year's ceremony, it is not convenient to visit this year."

The maid responded, and suddenly her eyes narrowed, "Young Shuai Du has come down the mountain."

Not far away, a group of people came on horseback.

A group of people rumbled past the carriage, rode out a few hundred meters, suddenly restrained the horse, and rode back again.

Du Shaoxuan was a little surprised, "Wanqing, it's really you, I thought I was wrong, why didn't you call me?"

The carriage of the Mu family is very low-key, with only the word Mu engraved on the front of the carriage. If you don't pay attention, you will miss it.

Mu Wanqing waved her hand with a smile, "Come up and have a cup of tea, I always have no taboos, no taboos."

Du Shaoxuan hesitated for a while, but still couldn't resist the urge to see her, get off the horse, bend over and get on the carriage.

The maid poured a cup of hot tea and handed it over, then quietly backed out.

"You've lost weight."

"You've lost weight."

The two of them made a sound at the same time, and they both froze for a while, then laughed.

The brisk laughter dilutes the unfamiliar feeling brought by the time distance.

Du Shaoxuan was very thin, the veins on his arms were all raised, his face was very bad, blue and white, he had never seen him so unmotivated.

His spirit is also very poor.

This can be said to be the lowest point in his life, and a series of things hit him hard.

“Have you not eaten well lately?”

Mu Wanqing doesn't look thin, but she is thin and strong, and eats five meals a day, plus lunch and supper.

"I've been too busy recently, I'm a little stressed, but I'll have a holiday tomorrow, so I can sleep in peacefully, I'll say, it's inhumane to go to work early in the winter No holiday!"

Du Shaoxuan felt distressed in his eyes, "You gave up on taking a break yourself, your health is important."

Mu Wanqing pouted and said, "The busier you get at the end of the year, others can take a break. I can't. If I wake up late, someone will come to my house to look for her."

Du Shaoxuan saw her complaining, but she was clearly enjoying it.

Listening to her brisk complaints, his depressed mood gradually relaxed.

A bowl of warm food was handed to Du Shaoxuan, "Have a bowl of fried flour, I rely on this to improve my living conditions on the way to exile."

Du Shaoxuan wanted to refuse, he had no appetite, but when he heard this, he couldn't help but listen, "I should get a few more cows that time, and give you more food."

He saw her when she was the most depressed, but at that time there was no emotion, so naturally he would not feel much distress.

Now I can't stand it, and I can't help but regret it.

"It's okay to eat, I can make it up no matter what, but I'm afraid of the blizzard weather, the road is not easy to walk, and it's easy to get lost. I went out to clean the roof of the car in the strong snowstorm." Mu Wanqing recalled the past, still vivid in her mind, "Some people were on the road in the heavy snow."

The Mu family was fine, but the Fang family lost a few.

If she hadn't gotten the carriage and thick clothes, how many people would have died on the road just by walking.

In that blizzard, her carriage was scattered.

Du Shaoxuan looked at her blankly, shocked and heartbroken, "You never said this, how did you bring the whole clan to get through it so hard?"

Mu Wanqing seldom mentions that past event, and occasionally mentions it, and it is also an understatement.

We only know that she made a fortune on the road, but not the hard work and danger behind it.

She pulled out a token, "Well, look, this is the hope you left me."

Du Shaoxuan saw at a glance that it was given to her by him, with a complicated expression, "Do you still carry it with you?"

Now that power is changing, this token has a greater symbolic meaning. As for real power, Mu Wanqing has long been able to rely on her face.

"Well, it's of great commemorative value. I thought at the time, if I can't hold on, I'll use the token to ask the government for help, maybe it will work."

Du Shaoxuan's heart was sour, "You haven't used it, not once."

Mu Wanqing played with the token, which was more to remind herself that there was a difficult time, and she was always alert and encouraged herself.

"It didn't reach the point where the mountains and rivers were exhausted. Later, I found a way to make money, and it became more and more smooth."

"If I had known earlier..." The more Du Shaoxuan thought about it, the more unpleasant he felt, only full of pity, "I would accompany you on the road of exile."

He must protect her well and not let her suffer a little.

Mu Wanqing doesn't need others to save her, but it doesn't prevent her from sweetly speaking, "After experiencing the lows, you will cherish the hard-won good days more, and meeting you is already the best arrangement. ."

Du Shaoxuan's eyes brightened, looking at her in disbelief.

"You really think so?"

Mu Wanqing raised her eyebrows and said with a smile, "Well, after you have been filial to your mother for three years, let's get married."

The surprise came unexpectedly, Du Shaoxuan's head buzzed, suspecting that he was dreaming. "Marriage? Are you serious?"

"Then I'll think about it again?" Mu Wanqing squeezed her chin, the time was almost up, and marriage should also be on the schedule.

Before, the emperor wanted to see a single Qingping county master who did not marry the powerful, which was more in the interest of the emperor.

But, this time and the other.

When she is a very powerful minister, no one will marry her.

In recent years, her image of a solitary minister has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, a perfect courtier with increasing prestige, and a lonely courtier with a small family and weak underbelly, which one is more reassuring to use?

Self-contamination, she will definitely not do it, then choose to marry.

Since you want to get married, of course you have to choose the one you like, and the three views are the same.

Du Shaoxuan finally reacted, grabbing Mu Wanqing's hand, the worry in his eyebrows was swept away, and the joy was about to overflow, "No no, you said it yourself, don't allow it Go back and we will get married in three years."

His joy infected Mu Wanqing, and the corners of her mouth raised slightly, which was not bad.

…

The moonlight is as bright as silver gauze, the whole Xuanwu Street is brightly lit, the lanterns on both sides of the storefronts are high, and the lanterns are shining brightly. Array, a scene of prosperity.

The people brought the old and the young, and the whole family went out to the lantern festival, and the laughter continued.

Mu Wanqing and Du Shaoxuan went out together.

Seeing that many people were wearing masks, Mu Wanqing couldn't help but get excited. She stopped at a mask booth, picked a tiger mask and put it on, covering her face.

Du Shaoxuan glanced at her and chose the same men's version with a bigger mask.

The two looked at each other, it was quite interesting, if they knew each other, they would not recognize them.

Well, you can play it regardless of the image.

The government arranged a lantern riddle guessing program, and a lantern mountain rose high, attracting the attention of countless people.

As long as you can guess the answer, you can get a lantern.

Du Shaoxuan saw that everyone was guessing, "Which lamp do you want?"

Mu Wanqing glanced at random, took a fancy to a lotus lantern at the top, and clicked on it, "Just this one."

Although Du Shaoxuan is a military general, he was educated in the palace after all. Look at one.

He was about to pass the lantern to Mu Wanqing when a man and woman wearing fox masks came over, "Wait a minute, brother, can you transfer this lantern to me? Twenty taels of silver."

Is Du Shaoxuan short of money? He waved his hand and handed the lantern to Mu Wanqing.

Mu Wanqing held up the lantern and admired it carefully. It was indeed more beautiful than ordinary lanterns. It was stacked in several circles, each circle was a different color, very delicate.

The two left on their own, not taking each other seriously.

The fox man came over to block their way, and reported to the house, "The next one is the relatives of the Qingping County Lord, and I also ask the girl to cut her love."

What does this strong tone mean?

Du Shaoxuan just wanted to stop, when he heard this, the corner of his mouth twitched.

Mu Wanqing's movements froze, hehe, I heard it, it was Mu Shiqi this bitch.

To actually use her name to **** and **** her, she is very capable, so don't take her ban seriously.

She deliberately pinched her throat to change her voice, "I heard that the relatives of the Qingping County Lord are all in Xiliang, what kind of onion are you?"

Mu Shiqi was stunned for a moment, this woman gave him an inexplicable sense of familiarity, have you seen it before?

The fox girl said delicately, "Brother Seventeen, this girl looks down on you."

The voice is artificial and indescribably sweet.

A trace of anger flashed in Mu Shiqi's eyes, "I'll pay fifty taels of silver."

Mu Wanqing ha ha, she has a lot of money.

Looking at the fox girl, "Who are you from him? A good friend? Outside the room? Or a brothel girl?"

The fox is not good at being feminine, "You are presumptuous, you actually dare to humiliate the family of a high-ranking official."

Mu Wanqing became interested, "Which adult's family is it? Tell me, maybe we know each other."

The fox girl looked at Mu Wanqing, who was dressed in muslin cloth, with no ornaments on her body, only a jade hairpin to hold her hair, without the slightest look of wealth.

She said disdainfully, "How could I know someone like you?"

Mu Wanqing did not wear jewelry because she was afraid that people would drop too many things. Besides, she could only have a good time when she traveled in a low-key manner.

No way, the officials who maintain the law and order and supervise this street all know her face.

"I haven't asked, what kind of person am I?"

"Untouchables." The fox girl is arrogant and powerful.

The fox girl was very angry, "I'm talking about you, not the seventeenth brother, you don't want to sow discord, the seventeenth brother, just use the name of the Qingping County Lord to send people to the government to be punished."

Mu Wanqing did not speak, it was up to Mu Shiqi to deal with it.

Some people have big hearts and are blindfolded by power. Is Gaozhi so easy to climb? :,,
