Chapter 104

Aunt Liu looked at the tiredness that could no longer be hidden on the lady's face, and couldn't help but show her sad face.

She stepped forward and held the Grandma's arm, slowly leaving Diechuiyuan.

On the way back to Xianhe Hall, the servants followed from afar, and the lady whispered to Aunt Liu.

"...I want to push the days to the spring of the year after, saying that it is an excuse to ask Ji Min for a concubine!"

Aunt Liu smiled and said, "What the Third Young Master said makes sense. Just like this, I suddenly asked for a concubine at home in an unknown way, and people outside would inevitably make random guesses."

The lady snorted coldly and said, "These are all excuses. I think it's just pretending to be virtuous."

Aunt Liu has served in front of the wife for more than thirty years. No one knows better what the wife has in her personality. At this time, it is best to remain silent and not speak.

"But, it's good for her to do this." The lady smiled maliciously, "I'm going to find a way to deal with Feng Wu... I won't go back to my parents' home to say it. As long as she doesn't go back to her parents' home to say it, over time, she will not be able to say who is right and who is wrong."

Aunt Liu nodded with admiration in her voice: "It's still the lady who thinks deeply and far. Unlike us, just look at the toes walking!"

The two of them said, drifting away.

Yingfen shook the curtain hard: "What a bullshit family of meritorious deeds, I don't even know how to write etiquette and shame!" As she said that, she showed a smug expression at Shen Muqing: "Girl, you lost - get the money!"

Shen Muqing sat in front of the mirror, looking around at whether there was any remaining rouge on his snow-white melon-shaped face.

"How did I know that they are so shameless! Chunman said so pitiful and didn't let me go. He insisted on asking me for a while." As she said that, she told Mingxia: "Go, give the iron abacus a certain amount of silver!"

Mingxia looked at Yingfen and laughed, turned around to weigh the silver.

"Girl, you can't call me abacus anymore," Yingfen pouted and walked over to comb Shen Muqing's hair. "They call me that in private now. How do you ask me to get married in the future!"

"Marry?" Shen Muqing raised his eyebrows, "Didn't you say you want to comb yourself? Who should you marry?"

Yingfen said angrily: "You have prepared me the money for marriage - I can't just get Mingxia and a few more!"

Shen Muqing couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Yingfen looked at it and felt very happy.

She was just to make Shen Muqing laugh. Now that Shen Muqing is so happy, she already feels that she is worth it.

Yingfen smiled and changed the subject: "Girl, I'll call Zhuji in-you told me to call her, but I was afraid that I would meet the grandma in the middle of the way, so I let her take a break in the back."

"Yeah!" Shen Muqing got out of bed and sat on the big kang opposite him, "Let her come in!"

Yingfen and Ningbi looked solemn, saluted Shen Muqing respectfully, and then called Zhuji to come in.

"How did your father-in-law answer what I want you to ask?" Shen Muqing sent the people who served around him.

"Grandma San Shao, my father-in-law said that every line has profits from each line. It's hard to say which business is the most profitable." Zhu Ji carefully observed Shen Muqing's expression. Seeing that she was not angry, she smiled and nodded slightly. Then she breathed a sigh of relief and continued: "The water in Kyoto is deep, and looking at the inconspicuous small storefront, maybe there will be royal relatives behind it, so people who are not worth a lot of money will not dare to open a shop in Kyoto. If Grandma San Shao doesn't want much, it's better to buy two shops at Baizhifang and open a shop selling tea."

"The shop selling tea?" Chen Muqing pondered.

Zhu Ji nodded: "That's what my father-in-law said. He also said that most of the people moved there from the south, and their relatives and family members were busy walking, and they also had the habit of drinking tea in teahouses. If they could be in charge of the business and the servants, they would not have had a bad business."

He is worthy of being a traveler, and this idea is excellent.

Chen Muqing called Yingfen in: "Go, take five gold bars out for Zhuji."

Yingfen left in response.

Chen Muqing said to Zhu Ji, who was full of confusion, "Take these five gold bars to your father-in-law and ask him to buy me two shops in Baizhifang, it is best to be closer to home."

Zhu Ji was full of questions, but he didn't dare to ask too much. He took the five gold bars handed over by Ying Fan and put them in his purse.

"What else do you have to take to Grandma San to me?"

Chen Muqing smiled and said, "Tell your father-in-law that if these five gold bars are not enough, let him help him with some for the time being. I will return it to him when the silver from Jiangnan shop comes back."

Zhu Ji responded and took the gold bar and returned to the house.

Her mother-in-law was sitting on the kang to change her clothes, and her father-in-law Zhou Bingze walked back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back. When he saw Zhu Ji coming back, he hurriedly said, "What do you say, Grandma San."

Zhu Ji took out the gold bar and put it on the kang table, and said Chen Muqing's words.

Zhou Bing's eyes shining when he looked at the gold bar, picked it up and took it, and said happily: "His father is enough gold."

Zhou Bing frowned slightly: "Grandma San Shao said, if the gold is not enough to buy a shop, let me post a little?"

Zhou Bing's family was stunned when they heard this.

Zhu Ji nodded and replied "Yes".

"Zhu Ji, you go down first." Zhou Bing's family pulled Zhou Bing's sleeve and told Zhu Ji, "Let me discuss this with your father!"

Zhu Ji hesitated for a moment, and finally responded "Yes" and turned around and left the house.

When Zhou Bing's daughter-in-law walked out of the door, she immediately became excited: "His father, we are making a fortune now - then you and Grandma Santa..."

Zhou Bing pointed at his wife and shivered in anger: "No wonder I, Zhou Bing, can't beat Wang Gui, that old guy, it's bad for you!"

When the Zhou Bing family saw the man getting angry, their voices couldn't help but lowered: "I, what's wrong with me?"

"You know what's the point?" Zhou Bing was so angry that he was all over the room. "What is the price of the dowry yard of the wife who gave the third young lady to the yard? Do you know?"

"I, I... haven't I left the house when I arrived at the Liang family?" Zhou Bing's family whispered.

"How much does it cost to buy two shops next to you? Do you know?" Zhou Bing was very angry. "She made a plan more refined than her wife. Five gold bars are just the money for two shops. I didn't even have the money to run an errand!"

Seeing that the man was humiliated, the Zhou Bing family whispered: "How about we not take on this job?"

Zhou Bing suddenly looked up.

"No, not only do it, but also do it well and beautifully, and make her satisfied." His eyebrows were resolute, "If she had the ability to turn the situation around, what else could she not do! I will put the future of the family on her..."

*******

Early the next morning, Wang Wenhui went to Princess Fuhua's place.

Princess Fuhua had already received Jiang Shuangrui's letter, and she just sighed when she heard it.

Feng also went back to her parents' home. Thinking that Wanqing's father was a fool, he went to discuss her elder brother.

When her elder brother heard this, he felt that this was a good thing for hiding. He just repeatedly told her: "If you send Wanqing back, I will send someone to watch it and tell her some rules. If you have the youngest sister-in-law, don't say anything. You have to remember that before Wanqing gets married, no news will be heard. Otherwise, our two families will become the laughing stock of Kyoto."

Feng said worriedly: "Can this matter be blocked?"

Her brother glared at her: "If you can seal it, you will marry in three years. If you can't seal it, you will tell Wan Qing and Ji Min that you can only make mistakes and will not admit that there is such a thing."

The matter between Liang Jimin and Feng Wanqing was settled like this.

Feng Wanqing stayed in the Liang family for another two days, and the Feng family sent someone to pick her up.

Maybe it was because everything he wanted was done, maybe it was Feng Wanqing who said something to Liang Jimin. Liang Jimin changed his previous decadence and began to study hard in Conglutang, preparing to take the exam for Shujishi.

The Grandma and Feng were very pleased to see it: "When you calm down, you will naturally know how to make progress."

Chen Muqing glanced slightly when he heard this, but Jiang Shuangrui was very worried about Chen Muqing.

In the blink of an eye, April was coming. On the day when Jinxiu left, Chen Muqing did not go to see her off, so he brought two gold-haired faces.

In the middle of the year, Liang Jimin successfully passed the exam for Shujishi and started studying in the Hanlin Academy. Jiang Shuangrui gave birth to a girl on the second day of May.

The lady liked it very much: "There are already three kids in the family. Now she has a daughter, and now she has all her children and grandchildren."

Feng was disappointed. She didn't even hold the child on the day of the Sanli. Jiang Shuangrui's mother saw it and was hurt in her heart. She hid next to the locust tree behind Xiangyunyuan and cried secretly. Jiang Shuangrui's sister-in-law advised Jiang's mother: "She is still young and she will have a long life in the future."

Jiang's mother shook her head: "The two of them are not good at all. I originally hoped that she could win a man in one fell swoop. No matter how the son-in-law treats her in the future, she would have a support... If we had known this, we would not have climbed this high point..."

Chen Muqing, who came to find Jiang's mother to attend the banquet, heard this and walked away gently - but from time to time, Jiang's mother's smile appeared in her mind.

What made Chen Muqing feel strange was Liang Shuxin's attitude. He changed his previous indifference and went to see his daughter every day, and even gave her a nickname "Guijie".

Chen Muqing likes Sister Gui very much. Not only do she often go to hug her, but she also bathes, dresses, and changes diapers. Even the mother of the wet nurse beside her smiled and said, "Grandma San Shao snatched all my errands, what are we doing?"

Sometimes when she met Liang Shuxin, Liang Shuxin would talk to Chen Muqing very tactfully about Liang Jimin, saying that he is much more calm now, saying that he gets along well with his colleagues, saying that he is highly valued by his boss in business, etc. Chen Muqing knew that Liang Shuxin was helping the two reconcile in disguise, and sometimes he said too much, so he couldn't help but reply: "My second uncle said it seems like I don't know who my husband is?"

Every time this happened, Liang Shuxin was speechless and looked at her with a begging gaze.

In fact, Chen Muqing was not wrong.

Perhaps out of gratitude to Chen Muqing, or perhaps because of a clear prospect with her cousin's future, Liang Jimin became closer to Shen Muqing. Not only did he move back to Diechuiyuan, but he often went to the main house to sit and chat with Shen Muqing and Liang Youhui after dinner. During this period, Liang Jimin most often talked about the case of the magistrate of Linshan County, Zhejiang Province suing his immediate superior Yuyao prefect corruption.
