Be careful, there are fat girls

Chapter 39 Taoist Temple
Lan Xiang quickly stepped forward and smiled at the little Taoist priest and asked, "Little brother, is Lord Anle here?"

The little Taoist immediately blushed, nodded, and suddenly dropped his broom and ran towards the temple.

Lan Xiang was taken aback, and couldn't help covering her mouth to laugh. She turned back, supported Mu Qingxi while walking and smiled, "That little Taoist priest is really interesting."

Mu Qingxi teased and said, "Who told you that you are beautiful!"

Mu Qingxi always puts on a straight face when doing official business, but in daily life she has no airs and always likes to tease the little girls around her.At the beginning, the few new girls were not used to it, but after a long time, those who were trained by her thought that they had grown up, so they didn't care, and just smiled: "The imperial concubine is teasing slaves again."

Just as he was talking, he saw an old man coming out from the temple, it was An Lehou, followed by the little Taoist priest, when the little Taoist saw them coming, his face turned red again, and he got behind An Lehou.

Mu Qingxi stepped forward to salute: "Father is well."

Nanny Feng, Lan Xiang, and Mo Qi who were beside her also hurriedly saluted: "See Lord Hou."

An Lehou nodded, a little surprised: "Why are you here? What's the matter? How is your sister?"

Mu Qingxi said with a smile: "I came here today to ask my father for something. Qingsi is well, and now she is four months pregnant, both mother and child are well."

An Lehou's complexion is not very good-looking, the second daughter has only been married for more than a month, but she is four months pregnant, no matter how you say it, she has lost her reputation.At this moment, he couldn't say anything more, so he just nodded lightly: "Go in and talk."

Several people entered the gate of Qingxin Temple and walked all the way in.

The sandalwood incense curled up in the Qingxin Temple, turned around an open space, and entered the inner hall not long after.

In the inner hall, there was only one long-bearded old man chanting sutras with his eyes closed, and the surroundings were peaceful.

In the center of the hall, Duan Yan was sitting on the statue of Sanqing. An Lehou burned incense, and worshiped several times devoutly, before turning around and asking, "What do you want?"

Mu Qingxi smiled lightly and said, "My daughter wants to ask her father for some saltpeter, and she wants to ask for more."

An Lehou was puzzled, saltpeter is a commonly used substance in alchemy in Taoist temples, and indeed there is no shortage of it, he frowned slightly: "What do you use it for?"

Mu Qingxi told An Lehou about the restaurant he opened, and then said: "The weather is sweltering, and eating spicy food blindly will only cause symptoms such as getting angry. Although herbal tea is good, it is still not as good as a real ice bowl. But now The ice sold is too expensive, and even if you have money, you may not be able to buy it, so my daughter wants to use saltpeter to make ice."

An Lehou was very surprised, he didn't know that the eldest daughter, who was always stupid, would have such an idea.

"How do you know that ice can be smelted with saltpeter?"

Mu Qingxi smiled lightly and said, "Of course it's from the books."

An Lehou was still hesitating, but Mu Qingxi said softly, "Father, will you give it?"

An Lehou was a little dazed. In his impression, except for the second daughter, Mu Qingsi, who had spoken softly and acted like a baby like this, the eldest daughter had never spoken.Looking at such a round and round face, without knowing it, my heart softened.

A smile appeared on his face: "Okay, come with me."

An Lehou led the way, and Mu Qingxi and others followed behind, walked out of the inner hall and walked towards the backyard.

On the way, he met a long-bearded old man wearing a navy blue Taoist robe. An Lehou looked a little more respectful when he saw his face, "Master Fengquan, I want to ask for some saltpeter, may I?"

A strange look flashed in the eyes of Taoist Fengquan, he glanced at Mu Qingxi who was beside him, and nodded: "Since Hou Ye has opened his mouth, it is naturally possible, please come this way."

Several people followed Taoist Fengquan to the warehouse in the backyard, opened the door, and there were countless baskets filled with saltpeter.

Daoist Fengquan asked with a smile, "I don't know how much to use?"

Mu Qingxi bit her red lips, she didn't know how much to use, but naturally the more the better, she said shyly: "Half..."

Fengquan was stunned.

Looking at the half-emptied warehouse, Feng Quan was speechless, An Lehou patted him on the shoulder with a smile: "Don't be stingy, how much money do you want, go to my residence to get it."

Fengquan shook his head helplessly: "Forget it, forget it, remember to owe me a favor."

An Lehou smiled lightly and remained silent.

Daoist Fengquan was very talkative, and he didn't get angry when half of the saltpeter stored in the warehouse was emptied. Instead, he asked a few little Taoist priests to help carry the saltpeter all the way back to the palace.

Just entered the inner house and before I had time to meet the concubine, I saw Mo Xiang rushing over in a hurry. As soon as I saw her, I came all the way cautiously in surprise, and said quickly: "Concubine Shizi, you are finally back."

Mu Qingxi raised her eyebrows: "What happened?"

Mo Xiang said: "You just went out, and Aunt Mu brought two maidservants over, saying that the prince asked her to find something before leaving, and that thing was locked in the warehouse. The slaves dare not make decisions, but Aunt Mu is fierce. Very soon, they kept talking about the prince, and the servants had no choice but to open the door of the warehouse to let them search. Who knew that they rummaged through the entire warehouse, and did not say what they were looking for. The servants couldn't stand it, I tried to persuade them several times, but they didn't listen..."

Mu Qingxi's expression turned cold: "Who is she bringing?"

Mo Xiang said: "It's Miss Jinrou and Lanyan." She carefully looked at Mu Qingxi's face, and said in a low voice: "If there are only her and Jinrou, I won't open the door if I break the sky, but Lan Yan is the person next to Shizi, and the servant did not dare to refute what she said, so she had to open it."

Mu Qingxi nodded lightly. Before she entered the door, Lan Yan had always been in charge of the affairs of the inner house. Since she took care of the house, she has only handed over the affairs in her hands to Mu Qingxi.

When Mu Qingxi got married, apart from the dowry belongings from her natal family, there were also congratulatory gifts from King Fanyang and Chunyu Fengzhan's relatives and friends, all of which were registered and stored in a special warehouse.

Apart from Mu Qingxi, Prince Chunyu did have the right to use these things.

The storeroom is divided into two rooms, the inside and the outside. The outer room is for the things that are usually used in the inner house, and the inner room is for these congratulatory gifts.

In fact, it is not very expensive, and the palace is heavily guarded, and Mu Qingxi trusts Mo Xiang, and is not afraid that she will guard and steal herself. In addition, he has been busy taking care of the restaurant business recently, so Mo Xiang has a set of keys in his hand, which is convenient for the people below to collect. thing.

Mu Qingxi sneered in her heart, she didn't expect these people to take advantage of such a small loophole, they really couldn't wait.

"Okay," she waved her hand: "Follow me to the warehouse and see what they are looking for."

There were constant sounds of rummaging through the storeroom, and Mo Xiang stared angrily inside, while two women beside her were rubbing their hands anxiously.Seeing Mo Xiang and Mu Qingxi approaching, surprise appeared in his eyes, he trotted over and said awkwardly: "Concubine Shizi, look at this"

These two women were sent by her to take care of the warehouse, because when Lan Yan came over, she brought the prince's handbook, otherwise no one would have the guts to let them in.

Mu Qingxi shook her hand, and said indifferently: "Okay, I know everything, you go down first, and I'll take care of it."

The mother-in-law finally let go of her high hanging heart and continued to stand by.

Mu Qingxi walked in slowly, looking at the three busy figures, a sneer appeared on his lips: "Have you done enough searching?"

The three of them were startled, and quickly stopped what they were doing. Lan Yan reacted quickly, stepped forward and said with an apologetic smile: "The imperial concubine is back, and the servants are here to find something urgently needed by the imperial son's order, but the warehouse is too big. I searched and searched, but couldn’t find it.”

Mu Qingsi and Jinrou also saluted when they came over, Mu Qingsi smiled unnaturally, "Sister, Miss Lan Yan can't do it alone, I'll help her."

Mu Qingxi smiled faintly: "What are you looking for? Tell me and listen."

Lan Yan must have thought of an excuse a long time ago, "It's a pair of rhino horn cups given by the young master of Beiping Hou's mansion. The prince said he wanted to find them for wine."

Mu Qingxi curled her lips, she could tell such a clumsy lie, there are many utensils used by the palace to hold wine that are countless times better than rhino horn cups, why did she just think of looking for that?
He walked a few steps calmly, casually took a satin brocade box from a shelf, and handed it to Lan Yan.

When Lan Yan opened it suspiciously, her face turned red immediately.In the brocade box suddenly placed a pair of dark brown cups with a simple style, which are rhinoceros horn cups.

She was so speechless that she squeezed her mouth for a long time before she could squeeze out a few words: "It must be... there must be too many things in the storeroom, and the slave girl couldn't recognize it for a while."

Mu Qingxi didn't point it out, and only asked with a smile: "What else is Miss Lanyan looking for? Tell me together, so I can get it for you, so that I won't be here next time, and I have to trouble you here."

Lan Yan couldn't hold back any longer, and hurriedly bowed: "No more, this servant will leave now."

Bringing Mu Qingsi and Jinrou along, the three almost fled in despair.

Looking at the backs of them running away, Mo Xiang couldn't help feeling a little anxious: "Concubine Shizi, they won't just take something away, right?"

Mu Qingxi shook her head, her face was calm and thoughtful.

She said slowly: "The things they are looking for are not here. I'm afraid our dormitory has already been turned over."

Mother Feng woke up suddenly: "Could it be that they are looking for it?"

Mu Qingxi nodded, "Go, go and have a look."

He locked the warehouse door and hurried back to his inner room.The servants and Dan Hua who were guarding the door were still guarding the door, seeing their hurried steps, they couldn't help saluting: "Shi Zifei."

Mu Qingxi asked: "Has anyone been here?"

The two shook their heads: "I've never seen anyone come before."

Mu Qingxi didn't ask any more questions, and went straight into the inner room, and the two girls followed in with a look of surprise.

I saw Mu Qingxi looking up and down, but didn't say a word.

Mother Feng asked hesitantly: "Everything is the same as when I came here, no one should come in, right?"

Shi Shu and Dan Hua were taken aback, and quickly said: "Shi Zifei, the two of us have been guarding here, and we haven't left half a step."

Mu Qingxi shook her head, stopped their words, her eyes wandered, and finally came to the pillow on the couch.
