"Yiwen Tea Shop has already gotten on track, but I'm in chaos." Xiao Sa smiled, "It's better to let him go back and help me."

"Yes!" Chen Muqing felt bitter in his heart, "It is indeed a bit of a waste of money to let Manager Pang stay in Yiwen Tea Shop again."

"Since you agree," Xiao Sa smiled lightly, "Then let him go back to my place tomorrow!"

Chen Muqing nodded.

"As for the 30,000 taels of silver that I had helped me in the emergency, I will ask my eldest wife to send it to you tomorrow morning." Xiao Sa lowered her eyelids, "The profit is calculated as three cents. Do you think?"

Chen Muqing looked at him with a smile: "Three points of profit? I can make a profit!"

Xiao Sa raised his eyelids and looked at her again, and his eyes were already clear: "You need to save me, I can't let you suffer too much."

"Then I'll thank you!" Chen Muqing smiled happily.

Xiao Sa also smiled and asked, "By the way, what's the matter with me?"

"Oh!" Chen Muqing's expression was calm, "I originally wanted to tell you about the matter of General Pang. Since you have decided, let's do as you think!"

Xiao Sa was stunned when he heard this, and then he wanted to speak but stopped.

Chen Muqing walked forward with a smile: "I'll take you out! Speaking of which, we haven't seen each other for a long time!"

Xiao Sa looked at Chen Muqing's back as narrow as willows, his eyes darkened, he stood there for a moment, and slowly followed.

The two of them left the hanging flower door and extended the way to the flower hall in the outer courtyard - they could reach the main entrance through the flower hall.

It took several days of snow to sweep cleanly, but there was still white snow on the roof, shining with dazzling light under the winter.

"Is this year spending the New Year in Kyoto? Or go back to Lincheng?" Chen Muqing asked Xiao Sa in a gentle tone.

"I don't know!" Xiao Sa's voice was low, "I will report to the Imperial Guard tomorrow. How to decide depends on the arrangements there."

Chen Muqing nodded without saying a word.

Xiao Sa followed her silently without saying a word.

The two of them arrived at the flower hall one after another.

Chen Muqing carried his skirt up the steps of the flower hall, but Xiao Sa stopped.

Mu Qing never made any request to him...

"You, just said, want to discuss with me about Manager Pang..." He was worried and asked her hesitantly, "What are your plans?"

Chen Muqing smiled and turned around, as if he only realized that Xiao Sa stopped and showed a surprised expression.

"Nothing!" She looked at Xiao Sa with a smile, "Don't mention the past! Anyway, the decision has been made!"

Xiao Sa's eyes became deeper and he murmured: "I won't mention the past things... Yes, I won't mention the past things..."

Maybe it was too far away, Chen Muqing didn't seem to hear something muttering in his mouth, and asked him with his head tilted, "What did you say?"

Looking at her bright eyes, Xiao Sa suddenly felt annoyed... He said rudely: "Nothing!"

Chen Muqing walked down the stairs, and the elegant jasmine fragrance lingers faintly on Xiao Sa's nose.

She looked at the flower hall and said, "When I go there, I will be the outer courtyard-I won't send it to you!"

Xiao Sa stared at Chen Muqing and did not move for a long time.

Chen Muqing had a smile in his eyes and looked back at Xiao Sa with a quiet expression.

The air slowly filled with a faint warmth that made people reluctant to leave.

The two of them stood like this, and no one was willing to speak to break this beautiful moment - they wanted to extend this feeling, to make this feeling deeper, to keep this feeling in memory forever... they couldn't bear to break it.

The north wind blew, and the dead trees were blown, and the biting chill made people tremble.

Chen Muqing came to her senses only. She looked at Xiao Sa and smiled politely and alienated: "The eldest lady must be looking forward to you going back - Xiao Sa, I will send you there not far."

Xiao Sa's body shook and his eyes were dim: "Then I will say goodbye!"

Chen Muqing nodded and smiled brightly: "I won't give it to you!"

Xiao Sa was stunned, and his eyes fell inch by inch on her eyebrows, nose, lips, and clothes... The deep eyes were like a surging sea, rolling with incomprehensible emotions.

"Take care!"

After saying that, he strode past her...

Chen Muqing looked at his tall and pine figure, unswervingly, and shouted "Xiao Sa".

Xiao Sa paused and looked back at Chen Muqing with a complicated expression.

"Xiao Sa!" There was a crystal clear corner of Chen Muqing's eyes, "I'll make a pair of shoes for you, okay?"

Xiao Sa's eyes were as bright as the summer sun.

"Xiao Sa!" Chen Muqing's mouth bent lightly, "I want to make a pair of shoes for you, okay?"

Xiao Sa's bright eyes faded away little by little, and it was as deep as the midnight without stars.

"Mu Qing," he said with difficulty, "The Imperial Guards are going to wear soap boots... No need!"

Chen Muqing smiled, with a warm smile in his eyes: "I understand!"

I know! Do you really know? How much do you know?

The bitterness in my heart surged little by little, making Xiao Sa unable to speak, and didn't know how to speak...

He looked at Chen Muqing, turned around and strode away.

*******

"Has someone sent it away?" Chen Zhen said lightly.

"Yeah!" Chen Muqing replied.

"Have you said everything you should say?"

"yes!"

"I heard from Jingshu that Ruichun did a good job in Fujian." Chen Zhen looked at Chen Muqing with sharp eyes, "After spring is on, you can go to Fujian with Jingshu! These days, you have almost nothing to care about the matter on your shop, and it's time to pick it up."

Chen Muqing was very surprised.

She didn't expect Chen Zhen to let her go to Fujian...

But looking at the silvery white on Chen Zhen's temples, she sighed softly and responded with "Yes".

When he returned to Tingyuxuan, Chen Muqing's expression was still a little dazed.

Shi Jingshu was very worried: "What's going on? Uncle Shen scolded you?"

Chen Muqing shook his head and said what happened: "...The master's attitude has not softened at all, and he has even become more determined!"

"What should you do?" Shi Jingshu couldn't help but frown, "You can't disobey Uncle Shen for this matter, right?"

Chen Muqing pondered and said, "The spring banquet will be held on the fifth day of the lunar month. I want Mr. Min to come forward to persuade the master."

"This is a good idea!" Shi Jingshu said happily, "It's better to write a letter to Mrs. Min and set an invitation date."

Chen Muqing felt that Shi Jingshu had a good idea, so he hurriedly called Yingfenmo: "I'll write a letter to Mrs. Min!"

*******

On the evening of New Year's Eve, I worshiped my ancestors, ate the New Year's Eve dinner, and then stayed up to the New Year. On the first day of the lunar month, Chen Muqing and Shi Jingshu went to pay New Year's greetings to Chen Zhen, and Chen Zhen gave them red envelopes.

Shi Jingshu took the red envelope and looked left and right with a smile: "Do I have it too?"

The calm Shi Jingshu rarely showed this childish look. Chen Zhen couldn't help but laugh: "You are a junior. You have both, and you have them!"

Aunt Chen brought assorted dumplings to eat.

Everyone ate dumplings with a smile. Chen Muqing thought that after Chen Zhen retreated, the gates of Chen Mansion on the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the second day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first year of the first year of the first year of the first year of the first year of the first year of the first year of the first year of the first year of the first year of the first year of the first year of the first year of the first year of the first year of the first year of the first year of the first year of the first year of the first year of the first year of the first year of the first year of the first year of the first year of the first year of the first year of the first year of the first year of the first year of the first year of the first year of the first

Shi Jingshu celebrated the New Year at someone else's house for the first time. Although she was always happy, she felt a little sad in her heart, and she hoped that the New Year would be lively. As soon as Chen Muqing suggested, she responded immediately.

Chen Zhen loves calligraphy, but Aunt Chen is not interested at all. She is reluctant to stay at home, and she is already muttering in her heart, not knowing how to gather Chen Zhen's interest.

When she heard about playing with sparrows, she was naturally overjoyed and immediately asked Tian’s mother to set up a seat and take the sparrows.

Chen Zhen saw through the worldly love, and there was nothing particularly happy about the New Year. He just thought that Chen Muqing and Shi Jingshu were still young, and people could not be quiet. He was just taking them to play, so of course he would not object.

The four of them had their own thoughts and played with laughter and joy for three days.

On the fourth day of the lunar month, Aunt Chen began to prepare for the spring banquet, and Chen Muqing and Shi Jingshu practiced calligraphy with Chen Zhen.

The arrangements for the fifth day of the lunar month were Mr. Min and Yuan Yu. On that day, the two brought their female relatives and came early.

Mr. Min brought Jinxiu, and Yuan Yu brought the two little girls Dashuang and Xiaoshuang that Chen Muqing saw at his house. Only then did Chen Muqing realize that these two girls were Yuan Yu's concubines.

Shi Jingshu looked at her and couldn't help but twitch her tongue: "I'm afraid she's younger than his granddaughter?"

Chen Muqing also felt a little frustrated, but still reminded Shi Jingshu in a low voice: "That's someone else's business!"

Chen Zhen set up the banquet in the flower hall in the outer courtyard. As soon as the tea was on, a faint sound of pipa came from the flower hall.

Chen Muqing was quite surprised and Jinxiu, who came to pay his respects to Chen Muqing, hurriedly explained: "This is Dashuang playing the pipa, and Xiaoshuang is good at the moon zither."

Shi Jingshu couldn't help but cover her mouth and smiled: "No wonder the fifth day of the lunar month rushed over? I didn't care about it here!"

Jinxiu couldn't help but blush and argued: "Our wife is also preparing to come, but a coincidence there was a guest at home."

Shi Jingshu joked: "Oh? I want to hear, which distinguished guest is it, and you still want your wife to flatter him personally?"

"So too, give Jinxiu a step!" Chen Muqing smiled and said, "You can find an opportunity to tell Mr. Min, I have something urgent to find Mr. Min!"

Jinxiu responded, and saw Chen Muqing misunderstanding that she was shirking for Mrs. Min, and hurriedly explained: "There are really guests at home. It is our wife's sister-in-law, Grandma Ten, and her brother. You don't know that this Xia family is a poor family and is highly respected by the Min family. If someone else comes, our wife will find an excuse, but she cannot come."

If you look for a weak family, it means that before the man and a woman get married, the man dies. The woman holds a tablet and marrys into the man's family and remains a widow.

Shi Jingshu and Shen Muqing couldn't help but look at each other.

"Did this Xia family encounter something difficult?" Chen Muqing couldn't help but say, "Otherwise, how could she be accompanied by her brother to Beijing at this time?"

"I don't know either!" Jinxiu smiled, "Grandma Ten arrived in the middle of the night last night, and our wife didn't talk to her."

Since I couldn't ask anything, it was someone else's business, and I was still thinking about meeting with Mr. Min later, Chen Muqing changed the topic: "I thought your wife would come, so I specially made honey lotus root. I asked someone to keep it. Remember to take it back!"

No matter why Xia came, it was all about Mrs. Min. If Chen Muqing hadn't asked, Jinxiu wouldn't have explained in detail. Since Chen Muqing no longer asked, Jinxiu naturally left behind: "Don't worry, aunt, I must remember. Speaking of which, our wife is also thinking about aunt-you have never forgotten our wife, the peach in spring and the melon in winter..."
