Chen Zhen changed into a brand new royal blue five-blessed longevity makeup and saw Shi Jingshu.

Shi Jingshu asked Chen Zhen for peace according to her niece's etiquette and asked him well.

Chen Zhen asked her to sit on the chair of the Grand Master in the lower head.

Chen Muqing personally served her tea,

Chen Zhen asked Shi Zimo’s recent situation: “When do you get up every morning? The meal is good? Is there any place that makes you feel uncomfortable…”

Shi Jingshu answered respectfully one by one, asked Chen Zhen about her physical condition, and finally gave Chen Zhen a letter: "Grandfather asked me to give it to her uncle."

Chen Zhen accepted the letter and said a few polite words to Shi Jingshu, "Don't be restrained, be like your own family", and asked Chen Muqing to take her to Luluo Courtyard.

Shi Jingshu was very fond of the elegant arrangement in the Luluo Courtyard. Chen Muqing asked the slutty woman from Luluo Courtyard to invite Shi Jingshu, and led her around. Liu's mother came over with a box and everyone met each other and agreed on a time for dinner. Chen Muqing said goodbye - she had to leave the space for Shi Jingshu's master and servant.

As soon as she walked out of the Green Ivy Garden, Aunt Chen hurried over.

Chen Muqing was stunned, and Aunt Chen was already speaking: "Master, please go to the study room quickly."

She didn't know what happened, so she followed Aunt Chen to the study.

There was a letter standing in front of the big book desk in the study room, and Chen Zhen was pacing in the room with a heavy expression.

Seeing Chen Muqing come in, he insinuated Aunt Chen: "Let everyone go outside to guard it, and there is no summons, so you are not allowed to come in."

Aunt Chen was stunned and responded to "Yes". She sent the little maid who served in the room to help Chen Zhen and his daughter close the door of the study and guard the outside of the yard.

Chen Muqing was panicked when he looked at the formation. As soon as Aunt Chen left, she asked anxiously: "Master, what happened?"

Chen Zhen didn't make a sound and pointed to the letter on the painting table: "Let's take it, look."

Chen Muqing walked to the painting table in two steps in three steps, picked up the letter and read it.

The letter was written by Shi Zimo to Chen Zhen. The main content is that he was not considerate for a while and encouraged Shi Jingshu to study and do things, which delayed her life. Now that he is old, Shi Jingshu is still alone, so he wants to entrust Shi Jingshu to Chen Zhen and let Chen Zhen keep Shi Jingshu in Kyoto and not return to Nanjing. If possible, it is better to help find a good family to marry, which is considered a lifelong entrusted. If there is really no suitable one, please marry Shi Jingshu before her death, so that she can also offer a place to entrust her tablet a hundred years later.

The letter is sincere and sad, and you can tell at a glance that it was written in a very sad mood.

Not only that, there was also a "instruction note" in the letter that Shi Zimo pressed his handprint and stamped his private seal. He said that he had entrusted Shi Jingshu to Chen Zhen, and that Shen Zhen would be the leader in marriage and funerals in the future, and that the Shi family would not interfere.

Chen Muqing looked at Chen Zhen in shock.

Chen Zhen smiled bitterly: "What I worry about really happened."

Chen Muqing felt very uncomfortable, and looked at Shi Zimo's letter silently, unable to say a word.

When he was in Nanjing, Shi Jingshu went in and out of the housewife in groups. Even when she wore men's clothing to the tea market, the servants and servants were huddling around... No wonder this time, she only brought two close-fitting maids and her wet nurse, Mama Liu, and about ten boxes.

"Mu Qing," Chen Zhen said seriously, "I want to ask for your opinion?"

Chen Muqing looked at Chen Zhen in surprise.

"It's rare for you to get along!" Chen Zhen pondered, "And Jingshu is also a capable person. Keep her, and you have someone to be your company..."

It turned out that she was worried that she would not agree!

"Master is too worried." Chen Muqing smiled, "I just didn't expect that the people of the Shi family really couldn't tolerate Sister Jingshu..." There was a bit of sigh in his tone, "As you said, if she could stay, I would have a company too."

Chen Zhen nodded and smiled with relief: "Then I will reply to Lord Shi!"

Chen Muqing polished Chen Zhen's ink, and after the letter was written, he personally instructed Zhou Baimu to send someone to deliver the letter.

Chen Zhen instructed her: "Don't say anything to Jingshu--Eunuch Chen can't hear any wind."

Chen Muqing nodded.

When she returned to Tingyuxuan, she didn't recover for a long time.

In the evening, Chen Zhen hosted a banquet in the flower hall to entertain Shi Jingshu.

Let’s talk about the customs and customs of Nanjing and the interesting stories and anecdotes in Kyoto, and the atmosphere is very warm.

Chen Muqing looked at Shen Zhen's silver-white temples and Shi Jingshu's fair and beautiful face under the light, and secretly lowered her head.

After dinner, Chen Muqing accompanied Shi Jingshu back to the Luluo Courtyard, but Shi Jingshu suggested going to Chen Muqing's Tingyuxuan to rest at night.

When they were in Nanjing, the two often talked at night, not to mention that Shi Jingshu once wrote to her, saying that she would come to Kyoto to see if there was a suitable place to open a restaurant - she must have discussed herself for this.

Chen Muqing naturally agreed happily.

*******

Chen Muqing and Shi Jingshu were tilted on the big kang next to the window, and the melon-shaped sheep horn lamp on the kang table was shining brightly, illuminating the faces of their faces as smooth as mutton fat jade.

Chen Muqing picked up the plain sweet white porcelain teacup and took a sip, and smiled and said, "What are some good ideas for opening a restaurant?"

Unlike the seriousness and dignity in front of outsiders, Shi Jingshu is a lively and even a bit playful person in private. She smiled and said, "What? Before I could sit firmly, you gave me a warning and asked me how to open a restaurant. Are you afraid that I would know something?"

Chen Muqing was stunned.

Could it be that Shi Jingshu guessed what Shi Zimo’s letter was in?

She couldn't help but sweat.

When Shi Jingshu saw Chen Muqing's face change drastically, she covered her sleeves and smiled: "Tell me honestly, who did the shoes in Teng's sacred be for?"

What was originally said about this?

Chen Muqing breathed a sigh of relief, but two blushings that she didn't even feel on her face: "What are you talking about? Are you a shoe entrusted by someone? The master also knows it!"

"Oh! Oh! Oh!" Shi Jingshu nodded seriously, but her eyes were full of jokes, "It turns out that my family knows it too."

Chen Muqing couldn't help but feel hot on her face. She forced herself to calm down: "Of course, my family knows the legitimate relationship!"

Shi Jingshu laughed: "When did I say this is wrong?"

Chen Muqing felt that he had lost his words and a look of annoyance flashed across his face.

Shi Jingshu was jokingly saying, "I beg Uncle Shen, too, and let you make a few pairs of shoes for me."

"What's the matter?" Chen Muqing said stubbornly, "Tell me, do you want to make flat embroidered shoes? Or do you want to make high-bang high-low shoes? Because I don't have foot binding, the maid in my room is the best at making shoes." After that, he bent down and picked up his embroidered shoes from the foot in front of the kang, "If you don't believe me, take a look!"

Shi Jingshu burst into laughter again, which made Yingfan lift the curtain and look inward.

Chen Muqing scolded Xiao Sa in his heart.

Shi Jingshu looked at Chen Muqing with discomfort, the smile on her face gradually faded away, and there was a crystal clear flash in her eyes: "Mu Qing, you are happier than me!"

Who is Shi Jingshu? He has been the largest tea farm in Nanjing for six years, and it is no problem to be smart and capable. If there were no changes at home, how could Shi Zimo push his favorite granddaughter to the Shen family for no reason? Looking at Shi Jingshu's eyes were filled with sadness... Chen Muqing couldn't help but sigh in his heart, pretending to be dissatisfied and said, "Sister, don't envy me. Who knows, I have a lot of troubles!"

Shi Jingshu was amused by her: "Then tell me, what are your troubles?"

What trouble do you have?

I am afraid that Chen Zhen will disappear one day and I will have no protective umbrella? I am afraid that Dasang will grow up and cannot tolerate this sister who is disobedient to the scriptures and Taoism? I am afraid that one day if business fails, I will lose my capital and have no place to live... After all, I am confused and uncertain about the future. But these troubles of my own are also Shi Jingshu's troubles!

How could Chen Muqing say it out loud?

Especially when Shi Jingshu's worries all became facts - the Shi family members were not abandoned Shi Jingshu, but after Shi Jingshu devoted all his efforts to the development of Shijia teahouse for six years...

A trace of hesitation flashed across her face.

I don't know how to speak for the first time.

Shi Jingshu looked at her nervous look and thought of the pair of men's cloth shoes she saw...

Her eyes flipped, she leaned over and leaned over the kang table, and asked Chen Muqing gently: "Are you worried about the person wearing shoes?"

Unexpectedly, Shi Jingshu would guess like this...

Chen Muqing couldn't help but feel ashamed.

Shi Jingmei looked at her embarrassed look and thought she had guessed correctly. She covered her mouth and smiled: "Tell me... Can three cobblers still beat Zhuge Liang? Maybe I have a way to solve your troubles?"

Chen Muqing wanted to speak but stopped.

"Don't worry, I will keep it a secret for you?" Ming Jingshu looked at Chen Muqing's eyes and shining.

Chen Muqing suddenly felt like he was going back to his college years and turned on the lights in his dormitory...

Perhaps, in this world, Shi Jingshu is really the only one who can understand her thoughts engraved in her bones...

She thought about it and told Shi Jingshu everything about herself and Xiao Sa.

Shi Jingshu's laughing face gradually became solemn, just like her expression when she was negotiating for a business that was related to life and death.

"...I like him very much. I also know that he likes me... Others must think I am stupid when they hear it. Even Xiao Sa, I didn't tell the truth in front of him... I was just a family member. After marrying, I found a boss to sell or die, whether to die, as I wish... But I just couldn't... As the master said, if it was given by the elder, I could still comfort myself in a daze: it was because he was young and ignorant... But my second sister was different. Sometimes, when I think of her, it was like seeing another self... not recognized by mainstream society, and struggled to survive... You said, if it were you, would you give up fighting for the benefits you would get?"

Chen Muqing said his feelings and worries all the time, regardless of whether Shi Jingshu could understand it.

Moss grew in her heart. She needed an occasion to talk to!

"No!" Shi Jingshu looked at Chen Muqing with serious eyes, "If it were me, I would not give up. If you were Xiao Sa's wife and you would not let Xiao Sa take a concubine, that would block her way to survive. If it were me, if you had a breath, you would fight you to the end."

Shi Jingshu can understand her feelings.

Chen Mu sighed quietly.

"So, if I want to live without blood, I can't marry Xiao Sa... Can you understand the regrets I feel every time I see Xiao Sa?"

Shi Jingshu didn't make a sound, as if she was stunned by Chen Muqing's words.
