Chen Muqing returned home in a chaotic manner.

It was getting late, and Mr. Min had already left, and Chen Zhen was sitting cross-legged on the kang to show the chess.

When Chen Muqing saw Chen Zhen, he gave Chen Zhen what the eldest wife brought to Xiao Sa, and told him everything that happened at Liansheng Inn and his promise to Xiao’s father and mother: “…… I sent Lord Wang to the next day because the throne was unstable, and under the pressure of the ministers, it was just a formality. Once the throne is stable in the future, it is probably difficult to find such an opportunity again. Why not take this opportunity to get both the emperor and Xiao Sa back!”

Chen Zhen's eyes lit up.

"The question is how to act then?" Chen Muqing looked solemn, "Master Xiao has experience in the martial arts world. You know all kinds of classics of the court, and there is also Lord Wang. He has to take a lot of risks and have to find someone who can speak in front of him to convince him. If these three conditions are met, everyone will discuss them together and will definitely come up with a complete solution."

Chen Zhen thought for a while, walked to the desk and wrote a letter, and then called the servant in: "Send the letter to Lord Min's mansion."

The servant left.

"Bieshan and Yuan Yu have a good relationship. Yuan Yu still needs to come forward to inquire about this matter - he is the Minister of Rites after all. Although Wang Qing and I know each other, we have no close relationship with him." Chen Zhen explained to Chen Muqing, "Without Wang Qing's support, I am afraid that no matter how good the plan is, it will not be implemented."

Chen Muqing thought of the weakness of human nature.

She pondered: "I know that some people love money, and if you give them money, they will be moved. Some people love power, and for the sake of a high position, they can also make any means. There are also some people who seem to be pure and have few desires, but they regard their reputation as more precious than life... It would be nice to know what Wang Qing likes... Whether he has a deep friendship with him is secondary!"

Chen Zhen looked at Chen Muqing in surprise.

Chen Muqing felt a little guilty: "What's wrong?"

Chen Zhen had a smile in his eyes: "Mu Qing has grown up and can stand alone." He looked very relieved.

Chen Muqing smiled embarrassedly.

*******

While Shen’s father and daughter were discussing how to rescue Xiao Sa, the eldest wife Zheng was sitting on the big kang next to the window, looking coldly at Tu Xiaoque kneeling in front of her.

"... Others don't dislike you as remarried. If you are willing to marry you, you will be carried into the house with a matchmaker. What else are you not satisfied with?" She picked up the teacup on the kang and took a sip of tea.

Tu Xiaoque lowered her eyelids, making it difficult to see what she was feeling at this time.

The eldest lady glanced at the ginkgo beside her.

Ginkgo nodded slightly.

The eldest lady sighed and said, "You are someone around Sa'er, and I won't force you. You can go down and think about it carefully, right?"

Tu Xiaoque responded gently, "Yes", and Ginkgo stepped forward to pull her up and sent her out.

The two walked to Taiji, and Ginkgo pulled Tu Xiaoque and whispered: "Why are you so stupid? When the eldest wife asked you, why didn't you go with the flow and agree..."

Tu Xiaoque didn't make a sound, but just let out a long sigh, looking very depressed.

"What's wrong?" Ginkgo quickly glanced at the curtain behind him, "We live in the same room. If you have anything to say, I'll turn it back later and talk to you before the eldest wife is upset."

Tu Xiaoque looked at Ginkgo and smiled bitterly, whispering: "Young Master Qi is not back, how can I have that intention?"

Ginkgo was stunned and hesitated: "You, are you still thinking about Master Qi?"

Tu Xiaoque nodded, with a little crystal clear in his eyes flashing. He murmured: "I can do what I am today, all my reliance on the young master's rescue... Although he has a bad temper, he has never looked down on me... I will remember his goodness for the rest of my life..."

Ginkgo's eyes fluttered: "But I heard the eldest lady mean that because of this, I wanted to do your business before the seventh young master was settled... I also said that if you have to stay for three years, you can wait, and the other party can't wait. If this marriage is broken, I don't know if you can find a better one in the future..."

"What did you say?" Tu Xiaoque looked at Ginkgo in panic, "What do you mean?"

Ginkgo glanced at the little maid standing in front of the door curtain, pulled Tu Xiaoque off Taiji, then looked around nervously, and then said with an ear: "I went in to serve tea that day and listened to it. It seemed that the aunt of the Shen family was afraid of getting angry, so she didn't want to help this... That's why I advised you..."

"She doesn't want to help?" Tu Xiaoque's face turned pale, "Why doesn't she want to help? The young master is to her, that's..." At this point, she suddenly stopped talking.

A thoughtful look flashed across the Ginkgo face and smiled and said, "What's wrong?"

"No, nothing?" Tu Xiaoque smiled uneasy, "I just think that the aunt of the Shen family is too careless about the young master..."

"Oh!" Ginkgo covered his mouth and smiled, "It is also necessary for others not to take it seriously. It is not a couple, nor a couple who have been engaged to get married... It is already a friendship to be able to deliver a voice like this!"

Tu Xiaoque wanted to speak but stopped, and finally showed a reluctant smile.

*******

"How? What did she say?" the eldest lady asked Ginkgo with a deep look.

Ginkgo whispered, "I said I was worried about Master Qi and wanted to wait for Master Qi to come back to marry again... I looked very affectionate..." After the conversation between the two, Tu Xiaoque said his expression, "...It doesn't look like a show!"

The eldest wife frowned and ordered Ginkgo: "Tell the people of that family that when my second sister gets married, I will give you two thousand taels of silver in a box... Their family has always wanted to buy a shop in Taiyuan. With these two thousand taels, everything they want should be done!"

Ginkgo listened and smiled: "It's still the eldest lady who thinks carefully." As he said that, he bent his knees and bowed his salute to the eldest lady, wanting to leave.

"Wait!" the eldest lady called her, "What did the aunt of the Shen family take?"

Ginkgo smiled and said, "Cream fried cake, Aiwowo, honey mohua, bean yellow bowl, kidney bean cake and other snacks."

The eldest lady nodded with a smile.

Ginkgo looked at her with a little joy and smiled and said, "Although the things are inconspicuous, they are all fresh. I'm afraid they're made on purpose - or I'll take them over and try them!"

The eldest lady nodded: "Make me the tea again!"

Ginkgo leaves and puts the snacks brought by Shen Muqing on a plate, brews the Longjing tea before the rain, and personally brings them to the eldest wife.

The eldest lady looked at the snacks in front of her and sighed softly, calling the jade hairpin in: "You send the pair of diamond-inlaid hairpins in my box to the aunt of the Shen family to be a gift!"

The jade hairpin was stunned and said, "Is it the pair of silver hairpin of pomegranate flowers?"

The eldest lady smiled and nodded: "That's that pair!"

*******

Chen Muqing was stunned when he received the reply from the eldest wife.

Although the hairpin is made of silver, the pomegranate flowers are not big, but the gold and steel stones inlaid on it are as big as soybeans, at least twelve carats...

If you give an object of equivalent value as a gift, you can only use the relics left by Li.

Chen Muqing couldn't help but hesitate.

Yuzhan smiled and said, "Our eldest wife likes the snacks you sent. She specially sent me to ask for some back. She also said, "Just treat it as your return gift!"

Chen Muqing smiled bitterly and ordered the kitchen to make a few more snacks, took a painting from the previous dynasty as a gift, and sent Yingfen to send it to him.

The next day, the eldest wife sent someone to send crystal shrimp dumplings, flour fruits and other foods.

The Jade Sword smiled: "Our eldest wife is in Guangdong all year round. This is a snack there. I specially made it for my aunt to try it."

Chen Muqing had no choice but to return the gift again.

In this way, Chen Muqing had to cook and direct the chef to cook snacks from all over the world in the end.

Magnetic rakes, brewing cakes, rice cakes, fish balls, spring rolls, egg cakes... are all out.

*******

A few days later, before Chang Hui came back, the court issued an imperial edict, saying that the emperor who was far away in Bahe was the Supreme Emperor, and promoted Wang Qing, the seventh-rank minister of the Ministry of Rites, to the right deputy chief of the third-rank official of the Censorate, and on September 16th, he was sent to Bahe.

As soon as this edict was issued, both inside and outside the court and the country were shocked, but they remained silent strangely.

"Others regard it as a dangerous road, but he regards it as a shortcut..." Mr. Min sat in the warm pavilion of Shen Zhen's study, drinking the Lu'an melon slices presented by Chen Muqing himself, and talking to Shen Zhen Wang Qing, "Say: When you go to Bahe, you will either die in the underworld or be famous in history. It seems that he is also very clear about the dangers of this mission."

Chen Zhen nodded slightly and turned to ask Chen Muqing behind him: "You said that Xiao Feng's father, Xiao Zhao, is the leader of the Yangzhou Gang of the Cao Gang?"

"Yes!" Chen Muqing replied.

Chen Zhen pondered: "I think Wang Qing has to be asked to discuss it, and see if he has some specific difficulties when he is on the Bahe mission. I heard that this time, Taichangsi sent only four people to Wang Qing, which is not as good as ordinary censors who go to Beijing to investigate the case... We will prescribe the right medicine, solve the practical difficulties, and convince him to be even more confident."

Mr. Min agreed very much and said with a smile: "Then I will ask Wang Qing to come tomorrow?"

"Yes!" Chen Zhen said, "It's less than ten days away from him. He's afraid he won't have time to walk around in a few days."

After saying that, he asked Chen Muqing: "You go to Liansheng Inn now to see how much silver the Xiao family can use? How many people can it do? When I talk to Wang Qing tomorrow, I will have a clear idea."

Chen Muqing left in response.

*******

When he heard that Chen Muqing was coming, the eldest wife happily welcomed her in.

"How is it? Is there any good news?" She looked at Chen Muqing with anticipation, and Chen Muqing was a little worried - if someone couldn't save him... what face would she have to see the eldest wife?

Chen Muqing hurriedly told the eldest wife what Chen Zhen meant.

When the eldest wife heard this, she immediately asked Ginkgo to invite Xiao Zhao.

"It's okay for me to get two million taels of cash silver!" The eldest lady took advantage of Xiao Zhao's failure to come to give a briefing to Chen Muqing, "No matter how much, you may have to collect accounts or sell some industries..."

Chen Muqing was a little shocked.

I didn't expect the eldest lady to be so rich.

Xiao Zhao came soon.

The three of them closed the door and discussed.

Chen Muqing told him about his purpose. Xiao Zhao said, "There is not a big problem for money. When I came, the old man gave him 500,000 taels of silver bills. This was to be prepared to handle the imperial officials. The third brother raised 200,000 taels of porcelain, silk and salt, which could be called at any time. Lao Wu had arranged the man to go to Bahe, and I could also raise 400,000 taels of silver in my hand." As he said, Xiao Zhao took a box with red paint and gold to Chen Muqing: "This is 200,000 taels of silver bills, you can take them back to make some."

I want to draw a clear line with myself!
