After picking up a lucky girl, all the beasts line up to come to your door
Chapter 407 The Fruit Thief
"Little brother," Mu Baobao pulled Zheng Xingguang's sleeve and whispered, "Is something really going to happen?"
She didn't dare speak of the drought.
Grandpa had warned her that even when she was with her little brother, she must not talk about the drought, otherwise something serious would happen.
Zheng Xingguang was also unsure, so he comforted her, "Don't worry, baby."
"We have so many capable people in our dynasty. With them supporting us, nothing will happen."
Mu Niuniu comforted his sister, "Baby, you really shouldn't think so much."
"Look, sir, Dr. Deng and the others are so capable, and they're adults. If there's really a problem, they can handle it."
Mu Baobao was still very worried, but her brothers didn't know about the drought, so they didn't understand why she was so worried.
She sighed like a little adult, frowning, "You don't understand."
"Pfft!"
Zheng Xingguang, Mu Pingping and other children all laughed.
Mu Pingping rubbed his sister's head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. "Baby, you're not even two years old, and you're already thinking about such a deep question. Aren't you afraid of losing your hair?"
Mu Baobao exclaimed when he heard this, and hurriedly pulled his hair to look at it again and again, "I can't lose my hair, I can't lose my hair, I don't want to be a little bald head."
"Bald heads don't look good."
Her hair was thick and black, reaching just below her shoulders and was now tied into two small braids.
The little braids swaying back and forth, coupled with her chubby little face, she is so cute.
Zheng Xingguang, Mu Pingping and other children laughed even more happily.
The laughter came out from the carriage, attracting passers-by to look, wondering whose child was so happy.
Because of this, Mu Baobao temporarily forgot about the drought and happily followed Zheng Xingguang to the summer resort.
The Mountain Resort is located on a mountain not far from the outskirts of Rongdu, and it takes more than an hour to get there by carriage.
This is the summer resort of Prince Rui’s Mansion. Usually, only Prince Rui and his wife and Zheng Xingguang come to stay for a while, and occasionally they will entertain relatives and friends.
But the Summer Resort has servants and housekeepers, and it is kept clean all year round and can be lived in at any time.
As soon as Mu Baobao got out of the carriage, he felt the breeze blowing, which was very comfortable.
"It's so comfortable."
She sniffed with her little nose, her eyes full of surprise, "Little brother, I smell the fragrance of apples, there are apples here!"
Zheng Xingguang asked the housekeeper beside him, "Is there an apple tree here?"
The steward lowered his head slightly and said very respectfully, "My Lord, there are some fruit trees planted in the mountains, including apple trees."
"The weather is hot this year, so the apples will ripen a little earlier. If you like, you can pick some."
Zheng Xingguang was not interested in these, but he knew that the baby liked them very much.
"Baby, should we go to the farm to rest first, or go pick apples first?"
Baby Mu raised his little paw and said excitedly, "Brother, I want to pick apples!"
"Before, I had only picked wild apples in the mountains, and had never seen a real apple tree."
Some of Mu Pingping and his friends didn't want to pick apples, some wanted to walk around the farm, and some wanted to take a rest.
Finally, Mu Pingping and Mu Yueyue accompanied Mu Baobao to pick apples.
Zheng Xingguang instructed the housekeeper to take good care of Mu Niuniu and the others, then he took the basket and, led by the servants, walked towards the place where the apple trees were planted.
Along the way, Baby Mu kept chattering about how great the apples were and how many apples she wanted to pick.
No one finds her annoying, let alone hates her.
As soon as they arrived at the place where the apple trees were planted, they heard two men arguing.
"We agreed long ago that the money from selling these fruits would be split equally, but you only gave me this little. What's the meaning?"
"Don't talk nonsense, I'm going to give it to you equally."
"Split it equally with me? Do you think I didn't secretly follow you to sell fruit and didn't know how much silver you actually made? I'm telling you, if you don't split the silver equally with me, I'll tell the housekeeper about this and neither of us will be in trouble!"
"Are you crazy? If the housekeeper finds out that we're secretly selling fruit from the farm, we'll both be dead."
"I'm glad you know. Hurry up and give me the silver, otherwise I won't let you off easily."
Hearing this, Mu Baobao turned his head and looked at Zheng Xingguang, "Brother, it seems to be your family's business."
Her voice was neither loud nor soft, just enough to startle the two people who were talking.
"Who?"
Zheng Xingguang said with a sullen face, "How dare you steal the fruit from the farm and sell it? This prince thinks you are tired of living!"
"Get over here, Prince!"
The two people who originally wanted to escape were so scared after hearing this name that they crawled in front of Zheng Xingguang.
"Slave, slave greets the prince!"
It’s over, it’s over. The prince discovered that they were secretly selling fruits from the farm.
What should I do now?
Zheng Xingguang ordered the servant to call the housekeeper.
He squinted his eyes and looked at the two men, who seemed to be servants on the farm.
"You two are really brave, daring to sell fruits from the farm."
There were many fruits on the farm, and the family didn't mind their servants eating some or taking some home.
But if anyone dares to sell the fruit secretly, it is a serious crime.
The two servants kept kowtowing and begging for mercy, "Please spare my life, my lord! Please spare my life, my lord!"
They really didn't expect that they would be caught by the prince for selling fruits secretly.
Zheng Xingguang showed no mercy and said, "I think this isn't the first time you two have done something like this."
"I'm afraid that in previous years, you two were secretly selling fruits from the farm, but this year you've become even bolder."
He will find out whether the housekeeper of Zhuangzi was unaware of this or was in cahoots with the corrupt officials.
The two servants regretted their decision so much. If they had known this would happen, they would never have come here to discuss the matter.
At this moment, the two of them could only beg for mercy.
Zheng Xingguang ignored the two of them. He smiled and said to Mu Baobao, "Baby, go pick apples first. I'll take care of things here."
Baby Mu said "oh" obediently and went to pick apples with his two brothers.
But after a while she ran back.
"Little brother, there are no apples."
She pointed to the apple tree over there and said, "There's not a single fruit on the tree."
Zheng Xingguang was furious when he heard this, and looked at the two servants with a very unfriendly look, "You two are really brave enough to pick even the unripe apples."
The two servants were almost fainting and continued to kowtow and beg for mercy.
In the past few years, they have been secretly selling fruits from the farm, but the quantity sold is small, so they have not been discovered.
This year, they were much bolder and picked all the fruits on the farm, whether ripe or not.
The mature ones are sold first, and the unripe ones are left and ripened before being sold, or they can be kept and eaten at home.
