Chapter 186 The Power of Everyone
"'Outside the frontier, I looked at my hometown, but I had not seen the Great Wall long. I was waiting for the flying geese to send a letter to arrive. I was sad to call the setting sun to the sky. The Guzheng played the Qing Autumn Festival, and the iron man was still sad. But if this body could serve the country, where is Suzhou and Hangzhou?'" The voice of reciting the poem became clear and exciting, like a collision between gold and stone, "Brother of the Mountain, thank you for giving me."
The person who spoke was Wang Qing.
"Su Wu shepherds the sheep, and she will be remembered forever. Brother Bai Yi is about to go to Bahe, and he can't finish his words. He can only write this "Su Wu shepherds the sheep" and encourage you." The person who spoke was Mr. Min. His voice was distant and sad, but he felt hopeless.
Bai Yi is Wang Qing's name.
Chen Muqing couldn't help but raise his eyelid and looked at Wang Qing standing beside Shen Zhen with his hands behind his back.
Although he was of medium height and had ordinary appearance, he had a pair of bright eyes, and his eyes were filled with bright colors, which immediately brought his ordinary appearance seven points to his freedom.
"The country is at this time of great crisis, and it is time for me to serve the country." Wang Qing smiled, "Now there is timely rain from Mr. Shen. When he goes to Bahe, Bai Yi will definitely be confused. He will die before he can do so, so that Su Wu will not be more beautiful than before." As he said that, he bowed to Chen Zhen and Mr. Min.
Mr. Min stepped forward and took Wang Qing's hand: "Brother Bai Yi, he is a really brave man!"
Wang Qing smiled faintly and held Mr. Min's hand: "Brother Bishan, I'm going to die today because of my integrity."
Chen Zhen laughed loudly and winked at Chen Muqing beside him: "Get wine!" He looked very generous.
Chen Muqing couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Wang Qing is only twenty-seven years old this year... she is still the age of blood. No wonder he was recommended by Yuan Yu to be sent to Bahe... No wonder he was excited after seeing a painting by Mr. Min... If the person standing in front of him was replaced by Xiao Sa, I don't know what kind of scene it would be...
She bowed her knees and went out, and ordered Yingfen to deliver the Liaodong Gaosou wine sent by Dai Shenghui to the study... At this time, only such strong wine could express Wang Qing's heart to cut off his arm.
*******
After seeing off Wang Qing, Mr. Min and Shen Zhen chatted secretly in the study for a long time before saying goodbye.
As soon as Mr. Min left, Chen Muqing couldn't wait to walk in.
Chen Zhen sighed at his daughter's thin face, and took the initiative to tell her the result of the discussion: "... Although the court asked Wang Qing to send an envoy to Bahe, there was no money, goods, and people. Wang Qing was mentally prepared. He sold his property and bought many rare treasures to bring them to the unsuccessful gifts. I promise that Wang Qing would pay the silver for the rare treasures he bought by the Xiao family, which was about 100,000 taels. He would also use some martial arts masters as his entourage to follow him on the envoy to Bahe according to his requirements."
Chen Muqing nodded: "If it can succeed, Wang Qing can also be famous in history."
Chen Zhen agreed with her point of view very much: "If this is not the case, it is just money, and it is probably difficult to touch Wang Qing's heart."
"The Xiao family gave 200,000 taels of silver, but I think it would be better to give it to Wang Qing." Chen Muqing pondered, "If so, his family also has a support."
"I think so too!" Chen Zhen looked solemn, "Don't Xiao Zhao want to see me? Just make an appointment tomorrow morning? Some of the requirements Wang Qing made, such as finding a martial arts master to follow him, the Xiao family should prepare early."
Chen Muqing nodded: "I'll ask Baimu to post a post to Master Xiao!"
Chen Zhen nodded: "Remember to make an appointment with Mr. Min - I am already at home after all, and I still need him to do some things!"
Chen Muqing responded with a smile. Seeing that Chen Zhen had been busy these days, he said with concern: "We have done everything we can do, sir, please take a break, sir!"
Chen Zhen looked at her but wanted to speak but stopped.
Chen Muqing felt a bad feeling in his heart. She said to Chen Zhen seriously: "Master, whether it is good or bad news, you must tell me bluntly - it is better than what I heard from others!"
Seeing that she was so smart, Chen Zhen sighed long and said with a smile: "You child." After thinking for a while, he still said: "Mr. Min told me that the emperor has agreed to be the title of Marquis of Dingyuan by Liang Bogong... The imperial edict will arrive in the next two days."
Chen Muqing breathed a sigh of relief: "In this way, Youhui should be able to marry the Thirteenth Master of the Wei family smoothly!"
Chen Zhen nodded slightly and hesitated: "There is one more thing..."
Chen Muqing's heart moved slightly and said with a smile: "Is it Liang Jimin?"
Chen Zhen's face showed sadness.
Chen Muqing smiled indifferently, "He has been intimate with Jin Shang since childhood, and has become the 95th Lord. He is surrounded by old ministers left by the Emperor. Naturally, he has to use his own people to promote him." Chen Muqing's expression was very calm, "The ministers forced Jin Shang to come back, and he took a step back, so the ministers and workers naturally had to take a step back."
"Just make sense!" Chen Zhen was quite helpless, "This is what it is above the temple!"
Chen Muqing took Chen Zhen's arm: "No matter what, he is also my ex-husband. Now that he has received the holy favor, I will not be too embarrassed when others mention it."
"You kid!" Chen Zhen smiled bitterly, "I really don't know what to say about you!"
Chen Muqing laughed: "I don't know what official he was promoted to?"
"It's just a seventh-rank official in the Ministry of Works!" Chen Zhen deliberately looked down upon him, "Do deal with those craftsmen every day."
Chen Muqing smiled and said, "This position is what he likes."
Chen Zhen disagreed.
The two of them talked and laughed. Seeing that it was getting late, Chen Muqing was thinking about sending a letter to the Xiao family and stood up to say goodbye to Chen Zhen.
Chen Zhen has had a lot of things these days and is a little tired. He doesn't keep her, so he asked the maid to send Chen Muqing out.
At night, Aunt Chen came over to change the bedding for Chen Zhen and carefully mentioned Liang Jimin's incident: "...I saw Mama Li being a villain and getting a needle, and I realized that the man had been in the office... God really didn't have any eyes."
Chen Zhen sat cross-legged on the kang and looked at the maid coming in and out of the room without making any noise.
When Aunt Chen packed up her things and said goodbye to him, he looked calm and said: "It's fine if the Seventh-rank So-zheng was just, but he actually let him serve as the fifth-rank Shang Bao Siqing..."
Aunt Chen was shocked.
Although Shangbaosi was young, all the project settlements of the Ministry of Works needed Shangbaosi's seal. In the past, such positions full of oil and water were always given to relatives or favorite ministers...
*******
Early the next morning, Xiao Zhao arrived at the Shen family half an hour earlier than the agreed time, and he stood outside the door. The eldest wife asked Yuzhan to go to the backyard to see Shen Muqing.
Chen Muqing had just washed and dressed up and was about to invite Chen Zhen to have a peace, but she was quite surprised when Yuzhan said that the eldest wife was waiting at the corner gate to see her.
Since she came back that day, there has been no news from the eldest lady... Of course, she also avoided this matter a little, for fear that the eldest lady would hand Tu Xiaoque over to her for disposal.
Tu Xiaoque is from the Xiao family, so he comes forward... I am afraid that gossip will spread all over the world...
Chen Muqing's face showed a little hesitation.
Seeing this, Yuzhan thought she was angry about what happened last time and didn't want to see the eldest wife. She hurriedly explained: "Auntie, I haven't come to you to pay my respects these days, because the eldest wife is busy dealing with Tu Xiaoque's affairs!"
Chen Muqing couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this.
Unexpectedly, the eldest wife had already dealt with Tu Xiaoque... and he didn't expect that the Jade hairpin would tell her straight to the point.
She couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Seeing that Shen Muqing's man relaxed, the jade hairpin could not help but nodded secretly.
Before she came, the eldest wife told her: If the aunt of the Shen family knew that she would be unwilling to visit her, she would tell her what Tu Xiaoque had already dealt with. And she also said that if the aunt of the Shen family breathed a sigh of relief, she would tell her whereabouts of Tu Xiaoque.
Yuzhan hurriedly said according to the eldest lady's intention: "The master asked our eldest lady to ask you what you mean. But my eldest lady said, this is a family matter, how can you interfere? So the eldest lady took the initiative and said hello to Tu Xiaoque's brother and asked his mother Zheng to send her to a nunnery in Meixian, Guangdong... and sent someone to serve her in person so that she would not recognize the way and would not run away."
Chen Muqing understood.
After all, she is the son who has passed the procession. The eldest wife shouldn't have taken care of Xiao Sa's house, but she not only cares about it, but also takes this matter on herself...
She suddenly felt a little moved and hurriedly ordered Yingfen to follow Yuzhan to invite the eldest wife in.
The two left in response.
Chen Muqing also instructed Mingxia to take out the Tieguanyin that Jingshu brought from Fujian a few days ago to entertain guests, and instructed the maids to take out the rose-filled pastry from Ma Pozi to entertain guests... As he was speaking, Ningbi hurriedly ran in: "Auntie, Master Chang is back!"
"What?" Chen Muqing stood up, "What did you say?"
"Master Chang is back!" Ningbi happily said, "I'm waiting to see you outside the second gate!"
"Let him in, let him in!" Chen Muqing said.
Ningbi left in response.
After a while, Chang Hui, who was exhausted, walked in with Ningbi.
"Master Chang, you are back!" Chen Muqing smiled and greeted him, "Thank you for your hard work!"
Chang Hui touched her head and smiled: "It's not hard, I just eat meat every day... At least I have someone get some vegetables for me to eat!"
"Okay, okay, okay!" Chen Muqing saw that there was a teasing in his eyes - nothing bad happened... She felt relieved and hurriedly ordered Ningbi, "Cook a few vegetables for Master Chang." She invited Chang Hui to the main hall and sat down, "Did you go back and see Liu Niang?"
Chang Hui sat down: "I'll go back to my aunt again-I think I'm waiting for you too."
Chen Muqing nodded, Yingfen came in and reported, "Auntie, the eldest lady is here!"
Chang Hui immediately stood up and said, "I'll come back later----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chen Muqing smiled and called him: "That wife is Xiao Sa's biological mother!"
Chang Hui touched her head: "...If she asked, I don't know what to say?"
Chen Muqing became strange when he heard this: "What happened?"
Chang Hui said helplessly: "Young Master Xiao said that the lord will die if he was humiliated. Just like Zi Beishou today, what is his appearance standing above the court? He should hold a whip and serve with his left and right..." As he said that, he took out an object wrapped in oil cloth from his clothes and handed it to Chen Muqing, "Young Master Xiao asked me to bring this thing to you!"
Chen Muqing hurriedly tore open the oil cloth, and inside it was a piece of paper folded into small squares. When he opened it, he found that it was a dock transfer contract with a handprint.
The seller is Xiao Sa.
The buyer is Chen Muqing.
Chen Muqing looked at Chang Hui in shock.
