Chapter 128 Unknown Prospects(1/2)
Princess Fuhua and Jiang Shuangrui sent their maids and detoured from the back garden to Diechuiyuan.
The door of Diecuiyuan was wide open, and two little maids who had no head left stood in the corner and whispered.
Princess Fuhua and Jiang Shuangrui exchanged glances and both breathed a sigh of relief.
The little maid knew the two of them. One rushed to report, and the other smiled and greeted them to salute them.
Princess Fuhua showed a kind smile and asked the little maid: "It's so cold, why are you standing in the yard?"
The little maid smiled and said, "The third young lady and the second girl are not at home. The fifth girl from Feng's house is waiting for the second girl here. As a result, the third young lady suddenly came back, and the eldest young lady asked us to serve in the yard. He also said that there were many guests at home today, and if someone came, there would be a person who would report it!"
"Why didn't you see a few others?"
The little maid smiled and said, "Sister Chunshu and Sister Biyun were both called by Sister Dingxiang beside the eldest young lady for help. The stove was turned off, and there was no hot water for making tea. Chengxin went to the kitchen and said that he wanted the kitchen to heat up the water for the kettle!"
Wang Wenhui is involved again!
Princess Fuhua and Jiang Shuangrui's vague uneasiness became even stronger.
The two of them accelerated their pace toward the east wing where Liang Jimin lived, but they met Feng Wanqing and lifted the curtains.
Apart from the red corners of her eyes, she couldn't see anything unusual.
"Why did the princess and her second cousin come here without bringing someone?"
Princess Fuhua noticed that Feng Wanqing looked a little nervous when she said this.
She smiled quietly and said, "We deliberately threw the people around us out for a walk-I heard that Ji Min is back, come and ask about the situation at Mu Qing's family!"
When Feng Wanqing heard Princess Fuhua mention "Mu Qing", she showed a hint of resentment in her eyes.
Princess Fuhua's heart moved. While walking forward, she smiled and said, "Why, Ji Min started to show off her tricks after she passed the Jinshi? She knew that I was coming and she wouldn't come out to welcome her?"
Jiang Shuangrui didn't say anything, and Princess Fuhua sang the lead role and followed Princess Fuhua.
Feng Wanqing was stunned and hurriedly walked to Princess Fuhua, lifted the curtain for Princess Fuhua, and whispered: "Third cousin, the princess and the second cousin's sister-in-law are here!"
Liang Jimin in the room thought he had already received the letter. He was about to lift the curtain and almost collided with Princess Fuhua.
"So big, you're still so reckless!" Fuhua smiled and scolded Liang Jimin, but his eyes looked him up and down.
Liang Jimin's face turned red and she lowered her head and bowed: "Princess, forgive me!"
Apart from his messy hair, Liang Jimin couldn't see anything unusual.
Jiang Shuangrui finally felt relieved.
Princess Fuhua has asked about the situation of the Shen family.
"... The wife is gone, the master does not care about the world, and there is no one in charge at home... Mu Qing can not only serve the sick, but also help the housekeeper... Dashe's homework cannot be delayed. He wants to find the Xishi and the shop in Jiangnan, saying that something is wrong with the account, and he is checking the account..."
Princess Fuhua listened to Liang Jimin's words seriously at the beginning. Gradually, a suspicious expression appeared on her face, and later, she began to feel a little restless.
When Feng Wanqing saw this, his face changed slightly. After hesitating for a moment, he smiled and said, "Third Brother, what the princess asks you, what are you going to answer? Look at you being long-winded!" But his eyes glared at Liang Jimin.
A little uncomfortable flashed in Liang Jimin's eyes, and she showed a cramped smile at Princess Fuhua, completely losing her past romantic style.
Princess Fuhua's eyes sank and she stood up: "It's getting late, so let's go back to Xiangyunyuan - lest the mothers don't know where we went later!"
Jiang Shuangrui stood up with Princess Fuhua.
Liang Jimin said, "Princess, please sit for a while! I'll ask someone to tell the mothers in Xiangyunyuan."
Feng Wanqing also smiled, but her smile was very far-fetched. She said, "Yes, the princess should sit for a while!"
Princess Fuhua sighed softly and insisted on leaving.
Liang Jimin naturally didn't want to force him to stay. Everyone said a few greetings, and Feng Wanqing followed Princess Fuhua and Jiang Shuangrui back to Xiangyunyuan.
When Liang Youhui saw Feng Wanqing, she ignored her and just kidded her sister.
Feng Wanqing smiled awkwardly and explained to Liang Youhui in a low voice.
When Princess Fuhua saw this, she walked out and stood on the platform to tease the lark under the eaves.
Jiang Shuangrui personally served bird food and served.
"Princess, but what's wrong?" Jiang Shuangrui knew Princess Fuhua very well and asked her in a low voice.
Princess Fuhua looked at the lark jumping happily in the bird cage, and her face showed a bit of loneliness.
"Shuangrui, why do women always make things difficult for women?"
Jiang Shuangrui was stunned.
Princess Fuhua said: "When I went in, I smelled the fragrance of lily!"
The lily fragrance secretly made in the palace is commonly known as the "aphrodisiac fragrance"!
Jiang Shuangrui was stunned: "This, this..."
"We are one step late in the end." Princess Fuhua sighed quietly, "I hope the two of you can control it, it's better to be honest..."

The 72nd birthday of the Grandmad's grandma ended in Shen Muqing's absence. At the end of October, she returned to the Liang family. Liang Youhui happily held her hand and told her about the Grandmad's birthday: "...The princess gave her a jade Ruyi, a string of Ganan rosary, the King of Jin sent a hundred longevity peaches, and the Grandmad Zhang gave her two immortal cranes... However, the Grandmad liked the picture of the "White Mother-in-Clothed" given by the third sister-in-law, and specially made people hang it in the Buddhist temple." As she said that, she pursed her lips and looked very proud.
Shen Muqing scraped her nose: "Didn't you just want to say that the gift you gave is the best! You are still here to beat me around the bush."
Liang Youhui laughed and said, "It would be great if my third sister-in-law was at home. We even set off fireworks that day."
Shen Muqing was stunned when he heard this and said, "Did you set off fireworks? Didn't your sister-in-law say anything?"
Liang Youhuiqi said: "How do you know that my sister-in-law is unhappy?"
Shen Muqing smiled slightly and said, "I guess!"
"Sister-in-law is really guessing it right!" Liang Youhui said, "She said she would leave the fireworks until the New Year to release them, which made her grandmother unhappy. She said that she did not invite people outside, and they were all relatives at home. What's the matter?"
"Is that true?" Shen Muqing replied in a daze, "She is a smart person, why don't she know how powerful it is?"
"What's so great?" Liang Youhui asked curiously.
Shen Muqing said "Oh", showed a sweet smile to Liang Youhui, took out the big-headed doll that someone brought back from Wuxi and handed it to Liang Youhui: "For you!"
Liang Youhui was overjoyed. He didn't remember what he had asked just now. He held the big-headed doll in his arms and went to play with two nephews who had just returned from school.
Shen Muqing looked at her back and smiled.
"Grandma San Shao, I'm too brave to set off fireworks!" Yingfen said with some concern.
"What do we care about these things?" Chen Muqing smiled, "Isn't there another Wang Wenhui?"
*******
In a blink of an eye, in December, every household began to prepare New Year's goods.
Mother Wang took the account book to meet Chen Muqing and discussed with her about the New Year.
Feng was quite dissatisfied: "I don't have anyone to help, so she's fine. She's in charge of the business and going to her parents' home!"
Wang Wenhui paused and smiled, "This is nothing to do. You can't let your aunt take charge!"
Feng curled his lips and said nothing.
On the other side, Wang's mother and Shen Muqing made up the matters during the New Year. Wang's mother did not get up and say goodbye immediately as usual, but sat there hesitantly and looked at Chen Muqing's eyes.
Chen Muqing couldn't help but laugh: "Did Aunt Chen make any requests?"
All the people in the family were released, but everyone was very frightened. Several families asked Chen Zhen to redeem themselves.
This is not the first time that Chen Zhen has encountered such a thing, so he waved his hand indifferently: "If you want to leave, go!" He handed this matter over to Chen Muqing for handling.
There is a way to go.
Aunt Chen nagged in Shen Muqing's ear every day and wanted to buy a few more families to come in.
Chen Muqing didn't say much to her, and re-divided the remaining personnel on his own, and the monthly rate increased. So although there were fewer people, the family affairs were not delayed at all.
Aunt Chen nagged in her ear again, saying: The family is different now, it’s better to sell a few, and the monthly rate is still rising. It’s also the rate of Li’s name: “When my wife was there, I never did this!”
Chen Muqing smiled faintly and said, "I haven't heard that my family is short of money!"
Then he started to check the account books at home. As he checked, he found the heads of the sixteen shops in Jiangnan. He also called Zhou Bing, who was helping take care of the tea shop in Baizhifang, to help check.
Aunt Chen then shut up.
After hearing this, Mother Wang covered her mouth and smiled: "Aunt Chen is more honest than when his wife is here!"
Chen Muqing nodded: "When my wife was locked in the Prison Temple, I will never forget that she could serve her wholeheartedly. Now that the wife is gone, the master also needs someone who knows the cold and the hot. I can't tolerate her if she can be so honest."
Mother Wang nodded repeatedly: "I'm really afraid that my aunt will send her back to her parents' home in anger!"
"I'm not the one who doesn't know the world." Chen Muqing sighed, "The living must be alive!"
Mother Wang nodded and chatted with Shen Muqing for a few words, but she didn't say anything.
Chen Muqing trusted Mother Wang very much. Since she didn't say it, she just understood that she didn't say it. She didn't mention it, and personally sent Mother Wang out of the second door.
When I came back, I met Liang Jimin.
Since she came back, Liang Jimin felt uncomfortable when she saw Chen Muqing as if she had seen a mouse. This time she was not convenient, so she bowed to her and quickly walked to Xianhe Hall.
