The Rebirth of Han Yuxi - Chapter 1838
[Chapter 1838 Qi Rui’s Extra Story (7)]
Gao Haiqiong settled her three sons to sleep, and everyone was a little exhausted. However, he still insisted on going to the clean room.
When he returned to the house, Qi Rui was already lying on the bed.
Climbing into the bed, Gao Haiqiong asked strangely, “Why haven’t you slept yet?” On a normal day, Qi Rui was already snoring.
Qi Rui said: “I met the eldest girl of the Mu family again when I bought you a sauced elbow at the Fortune Restaurant today.” Some things should be made clear, so as to save the wife from thinking about it when she finds out from other places.
Gao Haiqiong’s good mood disappeared instantly.
Qi Rui smiled and said, “Don’t think about it, I have already asked Aluo to send someone to investigate.”
“Check what?”
Qi Rui said, “It’s a coincidence that I met you twice in the Kindergarten. But I met you several times in the Fortune Building and on the road, so it’s a little strange.”
Gao Haiqiong said hurriedly, “She just has ulterior motives. Your Highness, don’t be fooled by her appearance.”
Hearing this, Qi Rui frowned: “Did you send someone to investigate?”
Gao Haiqiong shook her head.
If Gao Haiqiong had investigated and told him that Mu Yingying had two faces, he would definitely believe it. But now, Qi Rui’s eyes showed displeasure: “Since no one was sent to investigate, you just said this based on the specious words of the Yang family girl. Don’t you think you are acting too hasty?”
Gao Haiqiong has no words.
Qi Rui said: “There are many women who are greedy and vain in this world, but there are also many girls who are pure and clean.” Even if Mu Yingying really has two faces, he still believes that there are still many upright girls in this world. .
Gao Haiqiong also agreed with this: “My lord, I was wrong.” Next time something like this happens, you must find out and tell her husband.
“Knowing your mistakes can improve a lot.” After speaking, Qi Rui said, “I know you are worried that I will take a concubine. Don’t worry, I will not take a concubine.”
Gao Haiqiong said: “I believe in the lord, but I don’t believe in those fox spirits outside. These fox spirits will use any tricks for prosperity and wealth, making it hard to guard against.” Like this Mu Yingying, the means are superb, and the prince almost fell for it. .
“I don’t accept concubines, and those women are in vain. After all, it’s not that you don’t believe me.”
Gao Haiqiong said, “My lord, it’s like this time, you almost fell for it.”
Qi Rui laughed and said: “What’s the trick? I think she is gentle and kind, but so what? Do I want to admit a kind and gentle woman in the door? Then my house can’t be stuffed anymore. .”
Gao Haiqiong looked at Qi Rui’s expression, hesitated and asked, “Your Highness, are you really…” She wanted to ask Qi Rui if he really wasn’t interested at all. It’s just that, she can’t speak.
In fact, it was Mu Yingying who made Gao Haiqiong feel the danger, so she lost control of her emotions that day.
Qi Rui glanced at Gao Haiqiong, smiled and said: “Mother said that concubines are the root cause of chaos in the family. I am not as big-hearted as Ah Xuan, and you are not as mellow and superb as your younger siblings. If I take a concubine, our family will definitely It’s all in pieces. Not only will we not be happy, but they will also have a bad life.” Therefore, for the sake of family harmony and the healthy growth of children, he never thought of taking a concubine.
Gao Haiqiong hugged Qi Rui and said softly, “You said this. If you dare to take a concubine in the future, I will not live.”
Qi Rui shook his head helplessly and said, “My father was the emperor at the time, and my mother never worried that he would take a concubine. I think you are just idle. If you want to be as busy as your mother, you won’t have time to think about all this mess.”
Thinking that Oak-hee keeps books in his hands throughout the year, and he is not reading idle books such as travel journals and essays to pass the time, but rather obscure and incomprehensible books such as history books, medical books, and agricultural books. To be like her mother-in-law, Gao Haiqiong couldn’t help shivering.
Seeing her like this, Qi Rui couldn’t help laughing: “It’s very late, sleep!” In fact, not to mention Gao Haiqiong, there are not many people in the whole world who are as diligent as his mother.
Mu Yingying’s knee was seriously injured, and she couldn’t walk the next day, so she could only rest at home. Therefore, in the following days, Qi Rui did not meet Mu Yingying by chance.
A few days later, Monkey reported the information he had found to Qi Rui: “My lord, this eldest girl from the Mu family has been living with her mother in her hometown in the countryside until she was twelve years old.”
Mu Yingying’s father, Mu Changqiu, was a farmer. Although he was very intelligent, he had no money to study. Butcher Liao from the same village felt that he would definitely be successful if he studied, so he proposed to pay for his studies if he married his daughter.
The Mu family was very poor at that time and could not eat meat for a month. Butcher Liao’s proposal was like a pie in the sky for them. Without thinking about it, the Liao family agreed.
Mu Changqiu was indeed a young student of reading. At the age of thirteen, he passed the examination as a scholar at the age of eighteen, and at the age of twenty-three, he won the second-class jinshi. And he and Mr. Liao got married after Zhongjue, and the relationship between husband and wife is also very good after marriage. The next year, Liao gave birth to the eldest daughter, Mu Yingying. Two years later, Liao gave birth to the eldest son, Mu Xinting.
Qi Rui heard this and asked, “Mu Xinting?” In his impression, there was no such person in the Mu family.
As the highest chief executive of Shengjing, Qi Rui will also deal with him. If Mu Changqiu’s eldest son is here, it is impossible for him not to know.
The monkey said: “The news that I found out said that Mu Xinting was ill when he was five years old. Mrs. Mu didn’t ask the doctor to invite a witch doctor, but the illness was delayed and disappeared.”
Hearing this, Qi Rui’s face was ugly: “Where’s Mu Changqiu? Where are the others?” As a person who reads the book of sages and sages, he actually believes in witch doctors or not doctors. Qi Rui is now very suspicious of his ability. .
The monkey said: “Mrs. Mu and Mu Yingying’s mother and son have always been in the countryside, living with Mrs. Mu. At that time, Mu Changqiu was working at the Imperial Academy in Beijing. It was also when Mu Yingying was twelve years old that Mu Changqiu took over. He and Mu Xinrui came to Shengjing.”
“What about Mr. Liao?”
Monkey said: “Mu Changqiu asked her to stay in detail to be filial to her parents, then Mrs. Liao is still in the countryside!”
“If I remember correctly, Mu Changqiu should not be the eldest son.” Generally, only the eldest daughter-in-law will stay at home, and the second son-in-law will not be allowed to stay at home. Unless there is a special reason.
The monkey nodded: “He is the third son in the family. After he was admitted to the jinshi, Governor Yang treated him very well for the sake of his fellow villagers, and even made a maid named Li next to Mrs. Yang as a concubine. Mu Changqiu is very fond of this child born by the Li family and her, and before he took Mu Changqiu’s sister and brother to his side, the Mu residence was the head of this concubine’s house.”
Qi Rui heard this and looked up at the monkey.
The monkey continued: “When Mu Yingying first arrived in Shengjing, she was tripped by the Li family several times. Later, for unknown reasons, Mu Changqiu suddenly handed over the stewardship to Mu Yingying. Later, the Li family told him Daughter, has also fallen out of favor.”
“What happened?”
The monkey shook his head and said, “I can’t find out about it, but Mu’s house is now managed by Mu Yingying in an orderly manner.” From this, it can be seen that Mu Yingying is a very skilled person.
Qi Rui asked, “Is it a coincidence that we met twice on the street and in Fuyun Building?”
This, the monkey really inquired: “It was a coincidence that the prince met Mu Yingying for the first time, and the second time she did it intentionally. Mu Yingying bought a helper from the back kitchen of Fuyun Building, and knew that the palace was set up in Fuyun Building. I bought four sauce elbows. She should have guessed based on this that the prince will go to the Fortune Building in the evening. ”
After a pause, the monkey said, “Mrs. Yang goes to Baixiufang every sixteenth month. The day she quarreled with Miss Mu happened to be the sixteenth.” Baixiufang is the best clothing store in Shengjing. And that road is the only place Qi Rui must pass when returning to the palace.
Qi Rui smiled and said, “It seems to be intentional.” Once was a coincidence, but twice was not a coincidence.
The monkey said cautiously: “My lord, do you want to continue to inquire?”
“No need.” It’s enough to confirm that Mu Yingying met him several times because of ulterior motives, and there is no need to inquire.
After a pause, Qi Rui couldn’t help but ask, “Does she really often go to the Kindergarten to visit those children?” He asked this because he felt that Mu Yingying showed her love for those children at that time. , not like acting.
The monkey nodded and said, “Mu Yingying will go to the Kindergarten every month from now on, but she used to go to the Kindergarten in the west of the city. Since the beginning of the year, she went to the Kindergarten in the east of the city.” Shengjing had a total of There are three kindergarten homes. The Chengdong Kindergarten that Gao Haiqiong went to is also the largest kindergarten in Shengjing.
Back in the backyard, Qi Rui told Gao Haiqiong these things. After finishing speaking, Qi Rui couldn’t help but say: “It’s not difficult to marry a good family because of her looks and talent, so why do you want to be a concubine?” The concubines of the Ming Dynasty had a very low status. Even their children are not of high status.
Gao Haiqiong didn’t care what Mu Yingying thought: “If you meet her in the future, you are not allowed to speak to her again.”
“Don’t worry, no more.”
Gao Haiqiong was also worried that Mu Yingying would have another chance encounter with Qi Rui, but she did not expect that Mu Yingying would not appear again for the next two months. I heard that he was sick and was recuperating at home.
Gao Haiqiong snorted coldly, “Count her interest.” If she dared to approach her husband again, she would not be killed.
Caichun smiled and said, “Princess, the three-month period has come, you can go out tomorrow.”
Hearing this, Gao Haiqiong turned from anger to joy. I haven’t been out for three months, and I have to go shopping on the street tomorrow.
Caichun said, “Princess, I have been encountering these things recently. The servant thinks that you should go to the temple to worship and go to the bad luck.”
Gao Haiqiong felt that this was reasonable: “Go to the stable and let them prepare the car.”
Originally, I wanted Qi Rui to go with me, but unfortunately Qi Rui happened to be unable to go.
“Otherwise, I’ll go two days later. When I’m done with my work, I’ll take Xian’er and the others with me.” Not for the sake of incense, but to go out to play as a family.
Gao Haiqiong shook his head and said, “I go to incense to get rid of the mildew on my body. If I go in two days, my heart will be dishonest, and the Bodhisattva knows that he will be blamed.”
Neither Yuxi nor Yunqing believed in gods and Buddhas, which caused several children to have little reverence for gods and Buddhas. However, that doesn’t stop others from following.
Qi Rui smiled and said, “This is up to you.”
