Chen Muqing knew the content of Chen Zhen’s reply, and for some reason, tears kept falling like the spring rain in March.

Shi Jingshu could only sigh.

Fortunately, the preparations for going to Fuzhou were almost done, so Chen Muqing cheered up and directed the maids to pack them.

Just when she asked Chen Zhen to help watch the auspicious day of departure, Chang Hui suddenly came to her.

"What happened?" Chen Muqing met him in the flower hall of the outer courtyard.

Chang Hui still looks like a market.

He smiled and said, "I heard that my aunt's family has found a mate to go to Fuzhou, but why hasn't she set off yet? But she hasn't found a suitable candidate? If you don't dislike me, let me follow me, what if?"

Chen Muqing was stunned.

She thought he was here to borrow money...

Chen Muqing couldn't help feeling guilty, and thought of his good skills, and nodded repeatedly: "If you can go, it would be better."

Chang Hui laughed as she heard this: "Then let me know. When you leave, let me know."

Chen Muqing nodded, and the two chatted for a while. Chang Hui stood up and said goodbye.

She called Pang Debaolai again and told him about Chang Hui's situation.

"...The last time it was the second shopkeeper invited him. Go and ask him which escort agency he was in and invite him. I would like to give him twice the salary afterwards."

"Don't worry, aunt, I'll do it now!" Pang Debao left.

Seeing that everything had been arranged, Chen Muqing and Shen Zhen decided to set off on March 12th.

On March 20, they boarded the boat in Tongzhou.

When the ship arrived in Linqing, he heard the news that the emperor was personally commanding the army.

Chen Muqing couldn't help but smile.

Pang Debao explained: "The emperor transferred troops from Gansu, Qinghai, Guizhou, Yunnan and Liaodong to Xuanzhou. The one who led the Gansu was our young master."

Chen Muqing was stunned: "Don't he want to go back to Beijing to report his work?"

Pang Debao smiled and said, "The matter is prioritized. Now that the emperor is personally in the army, the demotion and promotion of all officials has been temporarily suspended."

Chen Muqing didn't make any sound.

When they arrived in Huai'an, Huai'an City was decorated with lights and colorful colors to celebrate the great victory of Yanggao.

Chen Muqing breathed a sigh of relief.

In mid-April, they arrived in Fuzhou safely.

Chen Zhen was picked up by a disciple named Yu Bin. Mrs. Yu personally sent them to the beautiful villa called Jinshiyuan arranged by Yu Bin for them. The maid and mother in the villa had already been there. After Mrs. Yu introduced her mother in charge to Chen Muqing, she said goodbye.

At first glance, the maids and mothers were used to serving others. In addition, Yingfen and others were quick-witted, Chen Muqing and Shi Jingshu quickly settled down.

Early the next morning, Mrs. Yu came over.

After having breakfast with Chen Muqing and Shi Jingshu, everyone sat down to have tea and chat. Mrs. Yu said intimately: "...I'm tired of boats and cars, so I'll rest here for two more days. Then we go to Guzi Temple to eat vegetarian dishes - I know that both of them come from Beijing and dare not show off in ordinary places. The vegetarian dishes in Guzi Temple are a unique feature in our Fuzhou. You must try them."

Chen Muqing felt that Mrs. Yu was really a wonderful person.

Since meeting, she has not called them "two girls" or "auntie" alone.

"Thank you, my wife. We will go to Anxi in a few days," Chen Muqing said his itinerary in a tactful way. "I don't know if I have the fate to go to Guzi Temple to eat vegetarian dishes?"

Mrs. Yu immediately smiled and said, "So you are going to Lord Li's place! Lord Li is our master's best friend. At that time, I will accompany you."

I didn't expect this to happen...

Chen Muqing was surprised, but also hoped to be closer to Mrs. Yu.

If she really wants to open a tea farm in Fuzhou, and get closer to Mrs. Yu, there will be only benefits but no harm.

The two talked and laughed, setting the day to go to Guzi Temple to eat vegetarian food three days later, and the day to go to Quanzhou five days later.

After Mrs. Yu left, Shi Jingshu couldn't help but complain: "What vegetarian food should we eat? We might as well go to Quanzhou early to be serious."

Chen Muqing told her the idea of ​​socializing with Mrs. Yu in detail. He said, "It's not a big deal that many people are polite. The more people respect us, the more we should be polite to others."

Shi Jingshu didn't make any sound.

*******

A few days later, Mrs. Yu was indeed invited to invite Chen Muqing and Shi Jingshu to Guzi Temple to eat vegetarian dishes. This time, Shi Jingshu was very polite to Mrs. Yu, from the most popular hairpin in Kyoto to Mrs. Yu's son recently had a small boil on his hand, which made Mrs. Yu smile.

Chen Muqing breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, as long as Shi Jingshu is willing, she can be a very sweet and lovely woman.

After returning from Guzi Temple, Mrs. Yu treated them less politely and more intimately. When she got home, she sent her mother, who was in charge, to deliver the famous fish balls in Fuzhou.

Shi Jingshu took a pair of gold-inlaid bluestone hairpins from the mirror box as a gift for Mrs. Yu, and even wrote a prescription for treating boils for the Bauhinia to take with her.

Chen Muqing couldn't help but cover her mouth and smiled.

Shi Jingshu said angrily: "I'm fine if I do this!"

"Okay, okay, okay." Chen Muqing joked with her, "I can't do it more!"

Shi Jingshu listened to her tone and scratched her.

Chen Muqing naturally hides.

The two were laughing and making a fuss, and a little maid replied, "Chang Hui is here."

Chen Muqing hurriedly sat upright and asked Shi Jingshu: "Is your hair messy?"

Shi Jingshu helped her clean her hair and said in confusion: "What are you asking Chang Hui to do?"

Chen Muqing said vaguely: "I asked him to do something for me."

When Shi Jingshu heard that tone, she stopped asking questions and helped Chen Muqing insert the bead hairpin again and went to the second room to the west.

Chen Muqing met Chang Hui in the main hall.

"How is it? Who has Pang Debao met with during this period?"

Chang Hui whispered: "The four major merchants in Fujian, the Wang family in Jin'an, the Chen family in Cangshan, the Liu family in Taijiang, and the Sun family in Minjiang, and the Manager Pang visited them one by one. At other times, he drank and chatted with several shopkeepers..."

This is expected. No matter what the reason, Pang Debao should visit the wharf when he arrives in Fuzhou.

Chen Muqing nodded.

Chang Hui said again: "However, today, Manager Pang met a person from Nanjing. I heard from others' names, and it seemed that he was called "Zheng Ye".

Chen Muqing was stunned.

Could it be Xiao Cheng?

"I saw that Manager Pang's attitude towards him was very special. He was neither as respectful as he was to other family members nor as friendly as he was to other shopkeepers..."

That must be Xiao Cheng.

But I don’t know what Pang Debao is doing when he sees Xiao Cheng?

Thinking of this, Chen Muqing couldn't help but pursed his lips.

"You should keep an eye on Manager Pang tomorrow. If he meets that 'Zheng Ye', you can find a way to notify me as soon as possible. I will catch him off guard."

Chang Hui grinned: "I'll listen to my aunt's instructions."

Chen Muqing also laughed.

Along the way, Chang Hui took great care of her. As long as it was told by her, she never asked the reason and always did her best to do it.

I really don’t know why Liu Niang doesn’t like Chang Hui to have more contact with her?

If there wasn't this gap in between, she really wanted to invite Chang Hui to her home as a guard.

Seeing that everything he should say was said, Chang Hui stood up and said goodbye: "Auntie, let's take a break soon. We will set off for Quanzhou tomorrow!"

Chen Muqing stood up and gave Chang Hui.

Chang Hui waved at her while walking out: "Don't worry about me..."

But before he could walk to the curtain, a little maid outside suddenly reported, "Auntie, Manager Pang is asking for a meeting!"

When Chang Hui heard this, he flew back. He looked around with guilt, then hid behind the curtain in the main hall.

Chen Muqing couldn't help but cover her mouth and smiled.

Fortunately, he is short, otherwise, if someone else takes a closer look, he will definitely find someone hiding behind the curtain.

She sang loudly, "Please come in, Manager Pang", and the curtain was lifted away impatiently, and Pang Debao walked in with a heavy face.

Chen Muqing was stunned.

Could it be that I knew that I asked Chang Hui to monitor him, so I came to settle the accounts!

She couldn't help but observe Pang Debao's expression carefully.

It seems very serious!

And he kept stroking towards her - crossing the distance he deserved.
