Traveling through time as a peasant girl, buying a husband and raising a child

Chapter 277 Mother, Uncle Liu is so beautiful!

Jingzhao Yin Feng Gui knocked on the palace gate at night and reported the tragic plight of the Meng family to the emperor. Emperor Xuanhe was furious in the imperial study and ordered the Dali Temple and the Ministry of Justice to investigate the matter thoroughly.

The weather was cloudy and rainy for several days, washing away the bright red blood of the Meng family.

Mu Jiaojiao looked at the dark sky covered with overcast clouds and Jiang Jin who was obviously busy, and felt emotional in her heart.

As expected, since ancient times, when there is success, there must be a sea of ​​blood and corpses beneath it.

In the blink of an eye, it was August. The progress of the case was not so encouraging, but it still could not prevent the grand event from happening. Dayu's palace examination, which was held once every three years, finally began.

All the talented students gathered in the main hall of the Golden Throne Hall and wrote down their views on the current situation. Finally, Emperor Xuanhe personally selected the first-class Jinshi, the third-class Jinshi, and the second-class 60 "Jinshi-born".

Among the top three, the third place winner was Liu Nian, who had become slim and handsome after being cured by Mu Jiaojiao; the first place winner was Lin Xing, the son of Lin Qiushi, the Minister of Justice; and the second place winner was a middle-aged man of about 40 years old from Yuzhou, named Zhu Qingyi.

When the horse was paraded through the streets, Huaizhu and Changle also brought their two children to join in the fun. It was said that Liu Tanhua was tall and slender, dressed in a brocade robe, a black gauze hat, and rode a white horse with a red crown. He lagged behind the right of the champion. He had a handsome appearance and earned many silk flower sachets from women.

"Mother, Uncle Liu is so beautiful!"

Jiang Mingxiao came back and saw his mother lying on the rocking chair in the pavilion with a big belly. Yunyu was fanning her gently. She looked free and at ease. He walked to Mu Jiaojiao with his short legs, and the first thing he said was to praise Liu Nian for her beauty.

"puff……"

"Hehehe..."

This made the maids and old women around him burst out laughing. How could the young prince use the word "beautiful" to praise a man?

"Silly, you can't use the word beautiful to describe Uncle Liu!"

Jiang Mingzhao, who was walking upright behind, touched Jiang Mingxiao's head, his tone full of disgust.

"Why can't we say Uncle Liu is beautiful? He is beautiful, just like the big red flower!"

Jiang Mingxiao's little head was full of confusion. Uncle Liu was wearing red clothes and riding a white horse. He was good-looking, so he was handsome.

"puff……"

This time even Mu Jiaojiao couldn't help herself, hahahaha, if Liu Nian, the handsome scholar with red lips and white teeth, knew that he was described as a big red flower by his own youngest son, I don't know how long he would be depressed.

"Son, where did you learn the word 'beautiful'?"

Mu Jiaojiao was still curious about her son's misuse of words.

"I heard Brother Li praising the big red flowers in the yard!"

"Hehe~"

Jiang Mingxiao has a good memory and he remembers it after hearing it once.

At the same time, everyone understood. It was probably because Liu Nian was dressed festively today that Jiang Mingxiao thought she looked like the big red flower in the yard. From then on, Liu Tanhua was a beautiful bright red flower in Jiang Mingxiao's eyes.

After the episode, Mu Jiaojiao asked Yunyu to pick out a set of four treasures of the study from the warehouse and send it to Liu Nian to congratulate Liu Tanhua on his success in the imperial examination.

Then he moved his increasingly heavy body and asked Huaizhu to continue fanning him. The heat had been getting more and more intense since August. Jiang Jin had originally planned to go to the farm to escape the summer heat, but after what happened to the Meng family, he canceled the plan.

In Jiang Jin's words, Yudu has been in turmoil recently, with undercurrents surging. It is not safe to leave Prince Jin's Mansion, so Mu Jiaojiao has to be inconvenienced. After Mu Jiaojiao gives birth and is well again, he will accompany her wherever she wants to go.

Mu Jiaojiao was naturally quite depressed. She knew Jiang Jin's concerns and understood that Jiang Jin's approach was the most conservative at the moment. Ever since what happened on the wedding night and the assassin incident, Prince Jin's Mansion had thoroughly checked all the maids, servants and old women in the mansion.

It can be said that the servants who remain now basically have clean backgrounds and are loyal to Prince Jin's Mansion. The guards are even more skilled in their craft, and the mansion is as solid as a rock inside and out.

But this cannot change the fact that Mu Jiaojiao has become more afraid of heat since she became pregnant. She sweats all day long, which makes her more lazy in her daily life.

Mu Jiaojiao was secretly complaining about the weather in her heart, touching her belly and lamenting the difficulty of being pregnant, when she heard the wild boy He Ye running in happily.

"Princess, Brother Yu is here."

Mu Jiaojiao looked at He Ye, the spirited young man, and envied the child's strong spirit power. She told him to take Yu Danping to Tingxue Hall. She also slowly stood up and walked to Tingxue Hall with Huaizhu's support.

In Tingxue Hall, Yu Danping drank the orange peel and honey tea served by the maid. Seeing Mu Jiaojiao and her group slowly approaching, he stood up and bowed to Mu Jiaojiao.

"master!"

"Danping is nagging a lot, I hope you don't mind!"

Seeing Mu Jiaojiao's inconvenience in moving, Yu Danping's face showed regret for disturbing Mu Jiaojiao, so he apologized directly.

"It's okay, why isn't Bao'er sticking to you today?"

After Mu Jiaojiao sat down, she waved her hand at Yu Danping, indicating that there was no need to do so, and then looked at Yu Danping teasingly.

"Recently, a branch of Jin Yu Man Tang opened in Yuzhou, and he personally went there to supervise his staff in the preparations."

Upon hearing this, Yu Danping seemed to think of how Jin Baoer had been pestering him all day long, no matter how big or small the matter was. With a helpless look on his face, he explained to Mu Jiaojiao why he showed up alone today.

After hearing this, Mu Jiaojiao showed a look of understanding. It turned out that the person was not in Yudu!

"Danping came here today to discuss something with the master. Chili sauce is very popular right now, and the demand for chili is huge. If we only rely on the supply from Lihua Village in Maple Leaf City, Cangzhou, it will definitely not be enough."

"Besides, Cangzhou is very far from Yudu. Even if we make chili sauce and supply it here, the loss of manpower and material resources on the road will be considerable. So today I want to ask Master, is it possible to purchase some farmland near Yudu and grow chili peppers on a large scale?"

Yu Danping seemed to have considered these ideas for a long time. He was now in charge of all matters big and small in the chili sauce business. If he could reduce the material and manpower, the profit would surely increase.

So today I came to discuss with Mu Jiaojiao. If the pepper planting area can be moved closer to Yudu, everyone will be happy.

After listening to this, Mu Jiao also felt that the supply of peppers depended entirely on Maple Leaf City. In the long run, this would indeed be a disadvantage. According to Yu Danping's suggestion, it would be best to buy land for planting in the cities around Yudu.

"This is a great thing!"
