Chapter 106 Misunderstandings

Chen Muqing felt a stern as he heard this: "How did Madam know?"

Mother Wang smiled and said, "When Zhou Bing bought a shop, we saw it. He thought he had some bad intentions and ran to tell me. I didn't figure it out at the time, so I told my wife. As a result, after the wife checked, she realized that it was the shop she bought for you."

Li gave her two shops in Baizhifang and borrowed them from Wang's family. Although Wang Gui and Wang's mother are still working in the Shen family, her son and daughter-in-law are now using the two shops to do snack business. The house and the shop door there are bought together. I think it's not far away, so she told Zhou Bing to buy a shop near the house... Unexpectedly, she would reveal the filling like this!

"Don't worry, Grandma Three," said Wang's mother, seeing Chen Muqing's unhappy expression, "Mrs. I didn't say anything. I just asked me to bring you a word, saying: Haste is not enough."

It seems that people who know it think they want to split up!

Chen Muqing calmed down slightly.

"Reassure my wife, I know the depth. There is also the lady above. The lady and all sisters-in-law. Even if they separate, it is not my turn to speak. I just hope that my husband can leave the room earlier, and I want to go with you then."

Mother Wang pursed her lips and smiled: "I must bring this letter."

The two of them talked a few more gossips, and Mother Wang got up and said goodbye.

Although she received such a letter, Chen Muqing was still uneasy. She asked Baimu to help inquire about the outside world.

After seven or eight days, this matter involved a clerk from the Ministry of Revenue.

Chen Muqing secretly said that it was not good, so he found a Chen Zhen to go back to his parents' home while he was resting at home.

When the grandmother heard that Chen Zhen was resting at home, she happily agreed to Chen Muqing's request, and asked the servant to go to the Hanlin Academy to speak, and asked Liang Jimin to go down the yamen to pick up Chen Muqing.

Chen Muqing responded with a blushing face, and then took Liu Chun and Bu Yue back to the Shen family.

Li's complexion was better than what she saw last time. When she saw her daughter coming back, she was naturally overjoyed and asked the kitchen to make her favorite dishes and let her go outside to buy her favorite snacks.

Chen Muqing chatted with Li for a few words and then brought the topic to this.

Li smiled and said, "Don't worry, the master should take what he should take. If we pursue this, then no one in the Great Zhou Dynasty was clean."

Chen Muqing thought of his dowry and a little hesitation appeared on his face.

Li hugged her daughter and laughed: "I know you're worried. The master and I have experienced more salt than you have ever eaten, don't worry!" As she said that, she asked about the water falling into the lake again, "...I said that the boat had turned over and all fell into the water? Why didn't I come back and tell me?"

Chen Muqing pouted: "I'm afraid my wife will say it-if it wasn't me, I wouldn't have capsized!"

"You kid!" Li looked at his daughter with a rosy face in front of him, and smiled like a flower, and then smiled.

After coming out of Li, Chen Muqing went to Chen Zhen’s bookstore.

Chen Zhen was talking to Mr. Ouyang, but Chen Muqing waited for a while before being led into the house by the servant.

The two of them sat in Jiusizhai's warm pavilion, one on the right and one on the left. Seeing Chen Muqing coming in, Mr. Ouyang took the opportunity to say goodbye.

Chen Muqing saw that the atmosphere seemed to be very relaxed when he came in, so he let go of half of his heart.

When Chen Zhen saw his daughter, the first sentence said Liang Jimin: "...I heard that he was very close to Chen Yazi during this period... Although Chen Yazi is knowledgeable, he is extremely introverted. I told this little thing, but he was afraid that he would feel unhappy. You can find an opportunity to remind him that if you have the ability to socialize with him, it is better to be close to Mr. Min."

Chen Muqing smiled and said, "Chen Yazi was the top scholar in the first year of Shunkang. Although his personality is not good, his knowledge is very good. His husband is a scholar's temper, so he would not have thought of these things. It would have been great if he had named the top scholar at the beginning. It would have been better if he stayed in the Hanlin Academy to study books all his life."

Chen Zhen smiled bitterly: "I don't want to do this. I gave up this old face and protected him a Huiyuan, just to make the emperor happy and get the lottery for the 'Three Yuans'. Who knew that Fatty Yuan was determined to protect Min Bishan."

"Oh!" Chen Muqing was slightly stunned.

Chen Zhen sighed and shook his head, "During the palace examination, Min Bieshan was able to answer well. When the emperor was awarded the top scorer, he was a little unsure. Fatty Yuan was on the night, so he asked him to ask. He replied, "Seeking the scholars and asking questions without asking for pens." The emperor made a big fuss and set Ji Min at tenth. Fatty Yuan was still afraid of ruining his name... This was a mistake. In a few years, I will put Ji Min in Sichuan - I am familiar with the path there, and I will change the place for three years, and at most ten years, I will be promoted to the government office. Don't listen to your wife, Jing is thinking about splitting up the family, Jing is thinking about taking office. If Ji Min goes to Sichuan, the weather is not good, and the people are mixed with melons and grains, what will you suffer with you!"

Chen Muqing smiled but did not answer and asked about Linshan County Magistrate.

Chen Zhen probably didn't want to talk about these things. He smiled and comforted Chen Muqing: "The emperor always has to speak up for this matter - not to mention that the accounts of my Ministry of Revenue have always been clear."

Chen Zhen has his own means to do what he can do today. Maybe he is too careful!

Chen Muqing comforted himself and talked with Chen Zhen. Then the family had lunch. At the end of You, Liang Jimin came to pick him up, and the son-in-law and son-in-law had another conversation. Seeing that it was getting late, Li left his daughter and son-in-law for dinner, and then sent them out.

*******

After asking for help from the Grandma and Feng, they returned to Diecuiyuan.

On the way, Chen Muqing asked Liang Jimin: "Every time the master stays in the study with you for a long time - what did he tell you?"

Liang Jimin frowned slightly and said impatiently: "Oh, didn't you say anything?"

Seeing him like this, Chen Muqing swallowed up what Chen Zhen told her to persuade him.

As June began to be busy with martial arts, the court began to pay much less attention to the Linshan County Magistrate.

Chen Muqing sent Baimu to inquire about the martial arts.

On June 24th, the results of the martial arts ceremony came out.

Xiao Sa from Lincheng County, Shanxi Province was named the top scorer of Wu Jiang, a native of Chuzhou Prefecture in Zhejiang Province, won the second scorer, and Tanhua was Du Yun from Shangyuan County, Zhili, Nanzhili.

Chen Muqing breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.

Everyone was curious about the seventeen-year-old martial arts champion. For a moment, this incident was rumored on the streets and alleys of Kyoto.

When Chen Muqing went to see his sister, he met Liang Shuxin, who was a little sad.

"Young people are amazing nowadays!"

"What?" Chen Muqing didn't know what Liang Shuxin was referring to.

Liang Shuxin's smile was a little reluctant: "I'm talking about this year's top martial arts scholar Xiao Sa."

Chen Muqing admires Liang Shuxin's attitude towards his daughter very much, so they often smile when they meet. Since Liang Shuxin talks about Chen Zhen behind his back, he feels guilty every time he meets her. Now Shen Muqing takes the initiative to show his kindness, so he naturally tries his best to make up. One is intentional and the other is intentional, and the two can say a few words.

Chen Muqing was stunned when he heard this.

Xiao Sa's dark eyes appeared in his mind.

Liang Shuxin said to himself: "Xiao Sa once studied in the Imperial College. On the day you got married, he also sent gifts and wedding wine... I introduced the prince-consort to him to meet him. At that time, I thought he was not simple. In just a few days, the two of them often drank some wine together like close friends... The first prize he was ordered should be the way of the prince."

Chen Muqing was stunned.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Sa actually attended his wedding... and had contacts with the Liang and Feng families!

She felt like she had a seasoning box that felt uncomfortable and murmured: "What is the second uncle talking about the eunuch Wang Xi, who is from the Silijian?"

Liang Shuxin nodded: "It's this person."

Wang Xi was originally a scholar who lost his title, but later came from the eunuch to enter the palace. When the emperor was still the crown prince, he served by his side. He was the most favored and powerful person in the inner court.

But why did Liang Shuxin be so clear about Xiao Sa’s whereabouts? He also inferred that Xiao Sa was following Wang Xi’s path?

She had a lot to ask, but didn't know how to speak.

However, Liang Shuxin said that he didn't notice these things and joked with Xiao Sa: "Eunuch Wang liked him very much as soon as he saw him. He wanted to accept him as his godson. Who knew that this guy was very cunning. He coaxed Eunuch Wang to Qianniang's bed in a few words. Eunuch Wang had no intention of paying attention to whether he agreed or not!"

Chen Muqing was very shocked.

Qian Niang, you can tell what kind of person he is by this name... and Xiao Sa actually used a woman to entertain eunuchs...

She couldn't help but touch her forehead.

Liang Shuxin was also shocked to realize that he had made a mistake, his face turned red, and he murmured for a long time without saying a word.

For a moment, the atmosphere between the two was very awkward.

Fortunately, Sister Gui started crying at the right time.

Chen Muqing smiled with relief and said, "Oh! Sister Gui thinks she is hungry, so I will carry her to let the wet nurse see!"

Uncle Liang also breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Yes! Take your wet nurse to take a look!"

Chen Muqing handed the child over to the wet nurse, and said a few words to Jiang Shuangrui, and then used the excuse of going back to Diecuiyuan if you had something to do.

Jiang Shuangrui asked Yanhong to send her out.

On the way, Chen Muqing was thinking about Xiao Sa.

Although survival in the officialdom requires certain means, don’t go too far!

*******

It was the seventh day of the seventh month in a blink of an eye. Chen Youhui pulled Chen Muqing to see the water bowl she placed on Taiji early in the morning.

"If the needle is placed on it at night and doesn't sink, then Sister Qi heard my begging!"

Chen Muqing is already a married woman and has lost the qualification to invite Sister Qi. She joked about Liang Youhui: "What did you ask Sister Qi?"

Liang Youhui's eyes darkened, and she had a few thoughts.

Girls naturally have their own thoughts when they grow up!

Chen Muqing didn't ask questions and called Yingfen with a smile: "Luomei is here for the night today. Let you go and beg for tricks with the second girl - you can't play too crazy!"

Yingfen and Mingxia all responded with a smile, surrounded Liang Youhui: "Miss Second, we will play with you today!"

Liang Youhui became happy again and smiled and went to see the fruits and melons that were used by Sister Qi with her.

Unexpectedly, the weather was bad that day, and after lunch, it started to rain.

Liang Youhui was wandering around at home like a trapped beast: "If it rains at night, I can't invite Sister Qi."

Chen Muqing comforted her: "Or, we will eat fruits in the house and tell jokes - it's all for the fun!"

"That's different." Liang Youhui was very depressed, "I beg my sister-in-law to ask her third sister-in-law to give me a nephew soon."

Chen Muqing couldn't help but be stunned.
