Chapter 100 Privately Granted
Luo Mei couldn't help but talk about Ying Fen on the road: "No matter what, he is Zhu Ji's father-in-law after all. Where can you give Zhu Ji a face like this?"
Yingfan glanced at Zhu Ji, who looked peacefully beside him, and whispered: "Sister Zhu Ji, I, I..."
Zhu Ji smiled and said, "Yingfen, we used to sleep in the same room, and I treat you like my own sister. How can we tell the difference between sisters and sisters? But this can't be done in the future!"
Yingfan's face turned red when he heard this, Luo Mei smiled and said, "What do you have to say later - Grandma San is still waiting for us!"
The three of them speeded up and went to Diechuiyuan.
Liang Youhui had already fallen asleep. Chen Muqing asked someone to lit two lanterns on the big welcoming pillow to read the account book. Seeing them coming in, Chen Muqing put down the account book in his hand, called Liu Chunduan, who was serving aside, and then sent the people who served by him.
Seeing this scene, the three of them knew they had something to say in private, and they saw that there was no one in the house, so they sat down without hesitation.
Chen Muqing pondered for a moment before speaking.
"Zhu Ji, your father-in-law has seen the world outside, so I want him to help me with something."
Seeing her look solemn, Zhu Ji stood up and responded: "Please give me the order!"
Chen Muqing lowered his voice: "The utensils and porcelains in my house are mostly antiques from previous dynasties. You ask your father-in-law to find a master who is a high-quality imitation and make a set of things in my house."
Zhu Ji couldn't help but change his face, and Qiqiai said ai: "This, this..."
Chen Muqing did not explain, and asked Luo Mei, "You are responsible for changing the things at home."
Luo Mei was already speechless when she heard it.
"One cannot leave traces when making the account book; two, you cannot make mistakes by mistake." Chen Muqing's voice was cold, "Three, you cannot place Guanyin bottles in spring, and put bronzes in winter, and make people suspect that there are fewer things in the house. Yingfen is responsible for the things like the curriculum, medicinal materials, cloth, etc., and the valuables are transferred out, and the ordinary ones are left behind."
Yingfen responded readily and said, "Don't worry, Grandma San Shao. Why can't people tell you that you can dress well? I was poor when I was a child and was the best. I just don't know where these things are received?"
Chen Muqing's eyes fell on Zhu Ji: "Let Bai Mu be responsible for this matter. Send the things to Baizhifang and hand them over to Lin Jincai."
Zhu Ji responded to "yes", and confusion flashed in his eyes: "If the third young master passes the Shujishi, he will have to stay in the Hanlin Academy for three years. Is it too early for the young grandmother to prepare at this time? Especially those daily expenses, you can't even deduct them. And if you are suspected by the Grandma and the Lady, it will always be a little bad!"
Chen Muqing did not reply to her, but just told them: "This is our support for the rest of our lives, you have to be careful with me."
The three of them responded respectfully.
A little maid replied, "Grandma San Shao, Mother Li is here!"
Chen Muqing then said, "You all go down and prepare. The important thing is that you can't find out."
The three of them stood up and bowed their knees and passed by Li's mother.
Chen Muqing pointed to the little shaman who was still warm: "Mom, sit down and talk!"
Mother Li smiled and said, "I dare not, I dare not."
Chen Muqing didn't force him either.
Then Li's mother came to Chen Muqing and whispered: "Grandma Third Young Master, it's really as you thought. The Third Young Master is not in Conglutang."
Chen Muqing nodded gently.
The grandma said, and Feng Wanqing saw her away as soon as she woke up. She could not wake up today and tomorrow. Can she never wake up forever? So, if there is any action, it must be...
She said, "Send someone to guard Hsinchuyuan. When you see the third young master, you will call me."
Mother Li responded to "Yes" and smiled flatteringly: "No need for the third young lady to give me instructions, I have sent Yue Gui to guard there."
As soon as she finished speaking, Yui's urgent voice came from outside: "Grandma San Shao, I am Yui!"
Chen Muqing glanced at Li's mother, and Li's mother immediately walked to the curtain and tidied her daughter: "Come in quickly, Grandma San Shao is waiting!"
On this intoxicating night of spring breeze, there was a thin layer of sweat on Luo Luo's forehead.
"The Third Young Master has passed?" Chen Muqing asked with a smile without waiting for Yuegui to speak.
Yuya was still gasping for breath, afraid that the tone of her voice would be uncontrollable, so she nodded.
Chen Muqing called Mingxia: "Get me a black cloak and let Ningbi serve by her side. If someone comes to ask, I will say I feel uncomfortable and go to bed."
Mingxia left in response.
Chen Muqing took Ningbi to Hsinchuyuan by taking the trail in the back garden.
It was quiet along the way, and even the old woman patrolling the night. When she arrived at Hsinchu Courtyard, the gate of the courtyard was empty, and the unburned red lanterns under the eaves were quietly hanging under the bright moonlight, projecting on the mirror-like bluestone platform like ink stains.
Ningbi felt that the scene was very dirty. She grabbed Chen Muqing's clothes and whispered: "Grandma Third Young Master, why don't you even have a vigilant woman... Let's not go in!"
Chen Muqing smiled slightly, looking very bleak under the bright moonlight.
"Don't worry, the body is lying in Hsinchu courtyard now, and the Liang family will also find someone who commits guilty."
Ningbi was stunned.
Chen Muqing had already flashed into Hsinchu courtyard.
Ningbi looked at the mottled trees around her and shivered, and hurriedly followed her.
The moonlight is so bright that if you stand by the window frame, the people inside should immediately notice it!
Chen Muqing stood in the middle of the yard, thinking about how to get close, but found that the corner door passing through the back cover room was half open.
Going around to the rear window, you can hear people in the house clearly without being discovered!
The thought flashed, and Chen Muqing immediately walked around the back window with the eaves.
She pulled out the hairpin above her head and picked up the paper that was pasted on the window.
The bright moonlight has become hazy when it passes through the window frame.
After a while, Chen Muqing saw two black shadows hugging each other.
She calmed down and listened to the movement.
After a while, Liang Jimin's voice sounded in the room: "Why didn't you tell me earlier? You told me long ago that I would definitely find a way to marry you, so why do you have to make this happen today."
Feng Wanqing's voice was a little choked: "I, how could I know that you are so affectionate to me! You will jump down to save me..."
"I, I don't know I will jump down to save you..." Liang Jimin's voice was a little excited, "I thought I could control myself. Who knew that when I saw you fall into the water, my mind was blank. I just thought about saving you, and I could still care about so many things there..."
"If I had known today, why should I be there!" Feng Wanqing sobbed, "When I saw me hiding far away, I would be incompatible with talking to you..."
"Wanqing, my goodness is Wanqing..." The two people in the room pressed tightly together, "It's all my fault... You always like to follow your second brother at that time, and never look at me directly. How dare I say it..." As he said that, Liang Jimin gently pushed the person in his arms and stared at her white face, "What should I do now? She, she is nothing wrong, I can't settle her..."
Chen Muqing heard Feng Wanqing laughing "Puchi". Under the moonlight, there was a charming celestial cereus: "Silly, you don't want you to divorce your wife!"
"But how can you be a concubine? Wouldn't that make you wronged..." Liang Jimin hesitated.
"I would rather be a heroic concubine than a mediocre wife!" Feng Wanqing gently leaned into Liang Jimin's arms, "If I could marry you as a concubine, I would be willing. But you know the suffering I suffered since I was a child, and I don't want to suffer that grievance again... Ji Min, we are always destined to be without a share!"
"No, no, no!" Liang Jimin said authentically, "There must be other solutions, and we can definitely find other solutions?"
"Other ways?" Feng Wanqing's voice was very bitter, "Unless you can be the master of your own, what other ways do we have?"
"Fifth sister, or I won't take the exam for Shujishi..." Liang Jimin's voice was very hesitant, "The King of Jin has always admired me very much. Last time he said that I would build a garden for him and give me a pen fee of 2,000 taels of silver... And the famous scholar in Jiangnan, Baldor, who also invested 5,000 taels to build a garden for him... After being admitted to Shujishi, he would have to stay in the Hanlin Academy for three years. Three years later, if he got to the Sixth Ministry, he would have to start from the sixth rank, and only a salary of 58 taels a year. If he was released, the better one would start from the seventh rank county magistrate, and those with less luck would have to start from the county magistrate... It would be better for me to build two gardens for others. In this way, I can go out to open a house earlier!"
"Follower!" Feng Wanqing said coquettishly, "You won't go to the Shujishi anymore. When the Madam asks, how do you answer? Today, you save me. I am very unhappy when I see the Madam. If I don't go to the Shujishi again, she will definitely blame me on the head, and even my aunt will be scolded." As she said that, she lowered her head gently, "I will become an eternal sinner!"
"No, my grandmother is not that person who doesn't understand." Liang Jimin said inconveniently, "She liked you very much when you were young..."
"What's the use of liking me no matter how much I like you!" Feng Wanqing looked sad, "When it comes to the critical moment, I'm not born!"
"Fifth sister!" Liang Jimin shouted softly, "Don't say such things in front of me again. If I have the intention of looking down on you a little bit, let me, let me thunder thunder bend..."
Feng Wanqing covered Liang Jimin's mouth in time: "If you swear like this, I will ignore you!"
Liang Jimin grabbed Feng Wanqing's hand at the right time.
"I know you are good to me, and have been kind to me since I was a child," Feng Wanqing stared at Liang Jimin, "Otherwise, I wouldn't have seen you late at night regardless of etiquette and shame." As he said, he sighed quietly, "Third Brother, it's getting late, so you should go back soon! You and I forgot what happened today! Just treat it as a dream... Before I came, my family was organizing a marriage for me. This time I went back, I was afraid that it would be settled... You and I would eventually look at each other."
Liang Jimin was stunned all of a sudden.
