Chapter 116 The Dawn Is Gradually Appearing

The Prison Temple outside Kyoto is not far from Chongyang Gate, and is a five-room four-in-one courtyard.

The first one was to worship the Prison God, the second one was to live in Zhu Gong, Zhu Po, who was in charge of the incense of the Prison God Temple, and the third one were to live in the clerks of Dali Temple, Li, Aunt Chen, Dashe, Mother Wang, Chengxiang and others were locked in the fourth one.

Chen Zhen, the former chief minister of the cabinet, was not convicted, and the female family in the family was imprisoned here without going to prison. This decision itself has an unusual taste. How could the clerks who have become elites in Dali Temple not smell it?

So when Chen Muqing went to pick up Li, a clerk who was about 40 years old respectfully led her to the gate of the courtyard and stopped: "Young grandma walked straight forward and arrived - it was full of female relatives inside, so it was not convenient for us to get in."

Chen Muqing's heart that had been hanging all the time fell.

It seems that Li and others did not suffer much if they could treat the female relatives of the Shen family like this.

Yingfen took out the money to reward him, and helped Chen Muqing into the yard.

Two strange women in coarse cloth clothes in the yard were sitting on the Taiwan ridge and talking. When they saw Chen Muqing, they were stunned. One of them came up and smiled and said, "This is the aunt of the Shen family? Are you here to pick up Mrs. Chen?"

Chen Muqing nodded with a smile.

The woman smiled and said, "We are Lord Wang from Dali Temple who called to help do some rough work."

Chen Muqing smiled and asked Yingfen to reward the two women.

When Mother Wang heard the movement, she walked out and saw Chen Muqing, tears immediately fell down.

Chen Muqing stepped forward and held Wang's mother's hand: "Mom is frightened!"

Mother Wang shook her head, took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears, and smiled: "Auntie is okay!"

"Okay, okay, okay!" Chen Muqing nodded repeatedly, "Madam, how are you?"

Mother Wang said "Okay" repeatedly and said, "Thanks to Xiao Qi, my wife's medicine has not been cut off, and she took out the money to handle it as a service. We are no different from being at home."

Chen Muqing was stunned.

Xiao Sa is so bold that he does not avoid suspicion at all...

Mother Wang said: "It is said that the owner of the shop has received the favor from the master, so it is not convenient to come forward at this time, so let him help with the handling of the goods."

This is how Li introduced Xiao Sa to others!

"I have never heard of it before!" Mother Wang was very moved, "I was so fierce when I came to my house to collect the bills. Who knew that I would change in the blink of an eye... People still have to do good things. Look, there will be rewards at this time..."

Chen Muqing ignored Mom Wang's nagging and said with a smile: "Is there another Manager Pang?"

"Yes, it was the last time I came to collect the bills with Xiao Qi." Mother Wang nodded, and tears fell down again. "I heard that except for us, everyone in the family was imprisoned in the Dali Temple. Yesterday, Lord Wang came to tell us that we could go back to the old house of Shihua Bridge, but we didn't even have anyone to call us. Fortunately, Manager Pang was there... He went to Dali Temple early this morning and said that he had lunch and came to pick us up back to the city." As she said that, she tiptoed to look behind Chen Muqing, "Are you here?"

As the chief manager of the Shen family, General Manager Wang was naturally locked up.

I don't know when it will be released?

Chen Muqing's eyes darkened, and he quickly cheered up and said, "The son-in-law is here. Those who are on duty are not allowed to come in. I think that there are all female members here, so there are no ones who are on duty."

Mother Wang nodded and led Chen Muqing into the house.

The house is very simple, of course it cannot be compared with the Shen family, but it is cleaned up completely.

After entering the bedroom to the east, Chen Muqing immediately smelled a strange smell.

She couldn't help but frowned slightly, but saw Li snuggling on the big pillow with her eyes closed. Her gray hair was neatly combed, and her always pale cheeks had a faint rosy look, which looked very energetic.

Aunt Chen beat Li's legs aside.

Hearing the movement, she turned around. Seeing Chen Muqing, she smiled with relief and then made a gesture of "Don't alarm Li".

Chen Muqing saw that she could serve Li in this situation. No matter what unpleasantness there were in the past, it disappeared now.

She and Mom Wang walked out quietly, standing on the Taiwan Strait and talking.

"Didn't your wife sleep well?"

This is the right time. How could Li still sleep under such circumstances?

Chen Muqing doubted whether she had not been asleep all night.

Mother Wang laughed in a low voice and said, "Madam is sleeping well!"

Chen Muqing raised his eyebrows.

Mother Wang said, "It was Xiao Qi who saw that his wife was in poor spirits and found a new medicine. After the wife used it, she would sleep for a while. When she woke up, she became very energetic." Her tone was filled with joy.

Chen Muqing was quite surprised. He thought that he had never been able to heal his foot injury...

Or, it may not be necessary if there is any folk remedy.

"Is that true?" she said happily: "Let me see what medicine has Xiao Qi found for his wife?"

Mother Wang shook her head and smiled, "I have never seen that medicine in the hands of Manager Pang. I just knew that I would add it to the cigarette and suck it in..."

Chen Muqing's smile froze on his face, and the blue veins on his temples slowly raised: "Which Xiao Qi is? Where is the person?"

The sound is as cold as the weather.

Mother Wang was stunned and said for a while: "He has only been here twice, and it is usually Manager Pang..."

Chen Muqing looked up at the sky, breathed a long sigh of relief, and couldn't say a word for a long time.

Seeing her angry look, Mother Wang thought, her face changed drastically and said hesitantly: "Auntie, is it because there is something wrong with this medicine... I have never seen it before. Every time, Manager Pang brought it little by little... I saw something wrong with these two people, but the wife nodded, and I couldn't say anything..."

Chen Muqing was very angry. She walked back and forth in the yard twice, but turned around and saw Chengxin standing at the door of the yard.

"What's the matter?" She spoke in a bad tone.

The third young lady who always smiled and glared at her eyes, and her eyebrows immediately showed a bit of attractive majesty... a bit like the Marquis and the eldest young master...

Chengxin couldn't help but talk for a moment and said softly: "The Third Young Master asked, when will we set off?"

Yesterday I promised to come and pick up Li's family today. Early in the morning, Chen Yazi asked the servant to send a note, saying that when he was visiting West Street yesterday, he saw a broken monument, which seemed to be the original work of Liu Gongzhi, and asked Liang Jimin to help identify it.

Liang Jimin started to restless as soon as he saw it.

Chen Muqing looked a little worried and repeatedly reminded him: "The situation is special today. We will pick up the wife and come back early. Then let Baimu Express send you over... Even if it delays, it won't take a long time."

Liang Jimin nodded repeatedly at that time, but after waiting for a longer period of time, he became impatient.

Thinking that Li was still hiding in the clouds, Chen Muqing was so angry that he said sternly: "If the Third Young Master has something to do, please go first. I'll get my wife back before going back."

Mother Wang stopped him: "What are you saying? My son-in-law is here to see you. It's already noon, where do you want me to have dinner?"

"Wait!" Chen Muqing called out to Chengxin, who was about to turn around, "The servants in the family are still locked up in Dali Temple. Tell the third young master and leave the hundred trees for me to envoy."

When Mother Wang heard this bad tone, she shouted "Auntie" with dissatisfaction.

Chengxin looked at Mother Wang, and then at Chen Muqing, unable to move forward and retreat.

"Save your son-in-law here, what should you eat?" Chen Muqing deliberately glanced at the simple yard, and then ordered Chengxin, "Go!"

When Mother Wang heard this, she looked dizzy, lowered her head slightly, and did not make any sound.

When Chengxin saw it, he left in response.

"When will my wife wake up?" Chen Muqing asked Mom Wang.

Mother Wang said in a depressed tone: "It is usually time to wake up at the end of the year."

Seeing that the two rough mothers sent by Lord Wang stood at the corner of the wall and looked at them with some helplessness, Chen Muqing sighed softly and said, "Let me start cooking!"

Mother Wang hesitated and said, "Does auntie look at the menu? Xiao Qi even sent two buckets of eels two days ago, saying that he would replenish his wife's blood and energy!"

Chen Muqing was about to answer, but Chengxin ran in: "Grandma San Shao, Grandma San Shao, the son-in-law said that he would go to Songshu Hutong to pick you up in the afternoon."

*******

When Li "awakened" and knew that his daughter was coming to pick her up, he was naturally happy to look out.

As soon as Chen Muqing saw Li, he explained Liang Jimin's whereabouts to her: "...I heard that my house was raided and I felt uncomfortable for several days. He asked for leave to take care of me at home. I was really embarrassed to ask for leave again... I sent me here today and went back, and I went to Songshu Hutong to pick me up later."

Mrs. Li was very happy when she heard this and smiled and said, "The Grandmad has promised me to take good care of you, but she did not break her promise."

Chen Muqing smiled and asked Chengxiang to set up the table.

Tian’s mother was also imprisoned, and the grand house was taken care of by Aunt Chen during this period.

He kept pulling Aunt Chen's sleeve timidly, and he refused to hold Yingfen to hug him, so that Aunt Chen was inconvenient to move.

Li smiled and said, "Miss Aunt is not an outsider either. Just like in the past, sit down and eat together!"

Aunt Chen's eyes turned red and she sat at the table with her Dashe in her arms.

Pigeon soup, fried pork slices with bracken, assorted tofu, flower mushrooms and duck feet, fried quail, vegetarian fried eel shreds, fresh bean seedlings... The rice is green stem, and the food is very good.

Li took a duck paw and put it in Chen Muqing's bowl: "Mr. Wang used to be a bad guy under the master's hands. The two women he found were good at craftsmanship, and the food bought by Manager Pang was also fresh... Try it."

The duck's feet have lost their bones and are very chewy, and the people who cook are very attentive.

Chen Muqing nodded: "It's delicious!"

"Then you eat more!" Li looked at her daughter with a smile and took another quail to her.

*******

When he came, he was very busy. The bedding and utensils were bought by Lord Wang. Mrs. Li was not going to take them away. Later, Manager Pang sent some clothes, cushions, tea, candy, incense and other things. Because everything was exquisite, and considering that Songshu Hutong was also copied, these things could be used when taken back, Li asked Aunt Chen and Chengxiang to clean up together. After hearing this, Yingfen rolled up her sleeves to help.

Li and Shen Muqing sat in the main hall and talked.

"...Look at you, you have lost a lot. Are you scared?"

Chen Muqing smiled and said, "Why not worry or be afraid if something big happens?"

"After learning from one's mistakes, you will naturally become more calm when encountering problems in the future."

Only then did Chen Muqing understand the contradictions that Li had always had.

Indeed, parents always hope that their children will not experience those cruel things, but if the children are really naive because of lack of experience, their parents are not interested in their children's ability to survive... This is always a difficult problem.
