When he returned to the Xiao family, the eldest wife couldn't wait to greet him: "What do you say to the master of the in-laws?"

I'm worried about Xiao Sa's safety!

Chen Muqing smiled and said the reason why Xiao Sa went to Yanzhou in advance: "...I know that Mr. Min saved me, and Eunuch Tian couldn't catch Mr. Min's handle, so he made things difficult for him when his husband was demoted. The master asked us to keep a low profile and wait for the news to pass in a few years before thinking about other solutions!"

The eldest lady breathed a sigh of relief, closed her hands and chanted "Amitabha!": "Good and misfortune depend on each other, there is no way to do it. When Mr. Min saved Sa'er, he probably didn't expect that he would implicate him now..." Before he finished speaking, a servant rushed over: "Grandma Qi, Grandma Qi, the old man asked you to come over."

Chen Muqing glanced at the eldest wife.

The eldest lady smiled and explained, "The old man has been worried about you... You are back, afraid you are going to ask you about Sa'er."

Chen Muqing nodded and went to the east wing where the old man lived with the eldest wife.

As the eldest wife expected, the old man called Chen Muqing to ask Xiao Sa about it.

Chen Muqing re-speaks back to the eldest wife's words.

The old man couldn't help but sighed: "Thanks to the in-laws, otherwise, I wouldn't know how Xiaoqi died."

"See what you said!" the eldest lady said angrily, "Sa'er died in Chengxiang, so there is no such thing as life and death."

The old man laughed and said, "It was me who said the wrong thing, it was me who said the wrong thing."

Chen Muqing was a little strange when he treated the eldest wife like a daughter.

The old man asked Chen Muqing again: "You have packed up all your things!"

Chen Muqing nodded: "It's all done."

"Don't worry about the maid who stays in Kyoto." The old man smiled, "I'll give the monthly money."

Whoever receives salary will naturally give you services.

Chen Muqing didn't want to be greedy for this little advantage, so he politely refused.

The old man didn't argue with her on this matter, but just asked her: "What do the in-laws like in the daily life?"

Chen Muqing smiled and said, "I like calligraphy and painting!"

"After all, I'm a scholar." The old man nodded with a smile and changed the subject: "You wait and rest for a while... Shen Chu set off, Youzheng was just resting in Ping'an County."

Chen Muqing knew that the old man had finished asking what he wanted to ask, so he stood up and bowed and left.

"It is not something that ordinary people can do when marrying my daughter to Xiaoqi at this time." After Chen Muqing left, the old man told the eldest wife, "You can find a way to buy a few expensive calligraphy and paintings. I want to visit the in-laws tomorrow."

The eldest lady responded respectfully, hesitated for a moment, and hesitated: "Are you really going to let Sa'er in charge?"

The old man answered the question terrified and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter if you spend more money, don't buy fake paintings."

The eldest lady couldn't help frowning after hearing this: "Sa'er has enough things now, so you can't treat him as a sword test stone anymore!"

"I know, I know!" The old man saw that the eldest lady was very annoyed and said hurriedly, "The palms and backs of hands are all flesh, I won't ignore Xiaoqi's."

*******

The inn is small, but the courtyard is elegant and the rooms are gorgeous. It doesn’t look like a place to do business, but rather like a villa of a wealthy businessman.

Chen Muqing couldn't help but look at Pang Debao in shock.

After leaving Kyoto City, after only one hour of leaving, Pang Debao suggested resting in this inn and leaving again tomorrow morning.

Pang Debao hurriedly explained with a smile: "This is the branch of Liansheng Inn!"

Chen Muqing thought of Liansheng Inn in Kyoto: "What's the point of Liansheng Inn's branch...?"

"The head of Liansheng Inn was originally the chief manager of the Zheng family. After the death of the eldest wife's father, several of the eldest wife had their own worries, and only the Hou always supported the eldest wife... Later, the eldest wife invested in helping the Hou open this Liansheng Inn. Liansheng Inn therefore did more of the Zheng family's business."

Chen Muqing understood that to put it bluntly, this Liansheng Inn is a subsidiary of the Zheng family. The Xiao family's arrangement is probably due to safety reasons.

"Then do you know where Xiao Sa is now?" she asked with some concern.

Pang Debao smiled and said, "Although I don't know where the Seventh Master is, I know that neither the second and third masters of the Zheng family were able to attend the Seventh Master's wedding. I was just setting up the matter for the Seventh Master to enter Sichuan."

With so many people helping, Xiao Sa should be fine!

Although he thought so in his heart, Chen Muqing tossed and turned for a long time before he could barely fall asleep in a strange environment.

Early the next morning, Mingxia brought in the bird's nest porridge.

Chen Muqing looked at the crystal white porridge and asked, "Is it made of bird's nest given by his third cousin?"

Before leaving yesterday, everyone gave her a lot of things, and even the fourth wife, who had always been very picky about her, gave her a pack of Gastrodia elata.

Mingxia smiled and said, "No. This is made in the store."

Chen Muqing nodded and drank bird's nest porridge. A friend came to report: "The shopkeeper is here to pay tribute to Grandma Qi."

She was slightly surprised.

Mingxia whispered from the side: "I heard that you are going to Yanzhou Wei to accompany your son-in-law. The shopkeeper insisted on coming to invite you to have a safe life!"

Chen Muqing thought that the owner of Liansheng Inn had served the eldest wife's father... so he said, "Please come in!"

The shopkeeper was a man in his thirties. He looked handsome and respectfully invited Chen Muqing. He asked Chen Muqing how used to dinner. Seeing that the shopkeeper was so polite, Chen Muqing naturally would not complain, so he kept saying yes. The shopkeeper just smiled slightly after hearing this, and then greeted Shen Muqing for a moment and stood up to say goodbye.

Chen Muqing asked Mingxia to send the shopkeeper, clean up, and set off again with Pang Debao.

Along the way, they all rested at Liansheng Inn.

Chen Muqing gradually discovered that as long as she ate more dishes or drank tea at the previous Liansheng Inn, the next Liansheng Inn would find a way to make this dish. Gradually, all the food and utensils arranged by the inn became her favorite.

Because Pang Debao arranged a very slow itinerary, she seemed to be a bit like she was traveling around, but there was no news about Xiao Sa, which made her very worried. Despite this, the letter she wrote to Chen Zhen did not dare to reveal any of it, but just described the scenery along the way and the attentiveness of Liansheng Inn to herself.

The calm days made Chen Muqing often wonder if the parting with Xiao Sa that day was her own illusion, but the changing scenery outside the car made her realize that she was getting farther and farther away from Kyoto.

At the end of June, they finally entered Sichuan.

She was greeted by the third wife of the Zheng family.

She is a medium-sized woman with snow-white skin, a pair of big, watery eyes, and a silver-red embroidered wool. She is very seductive in every move.

Seeing Chen Muqing, she happily took Chen Muqing's hand: "I have been waiting for you day and night, and finally I have come to you."

Chen Muqing was thinking about Xiao Sa: "Is there any news about my husband?"

The third wife nodded repeatedly and smiled, "Xiao Qi went north of the city with a calm city eight days ago - I think she has arrived at Yanzhou Guard. He is also thinking about you and specially asked me to pick you up. He also asked me to bring you a letter to rest assured that you don't have to hurry to rush to Yanzhou Guard and let you go to Jinzhou for a few days."

Chen Muqing said frankly and refused: "We are here to Sichuan now. When can't we go to Jinzhou? I'd better go to Yanzhouwei first!"

After hearing this, the third wife did not advise her. She smiled and agreed and accompanied her to Huding County, where Yanzhou Wei is located.

The more you go to Huding County, the more rough the scenery is, and the more ragged the crowds along the way are.

Chen Muqing thought of her father's instructions that she might not be able to buy it if she has money, so she couldn't help but nervously instruct Mingxia to bring the medicinal materials given by Shi Jingshu.

In early July, they finally arrived in Huding County.

Yanzhou Wei is located in the northwest of Luding County, less than 30 miles from the Huding County Government. The place the Zheng family found for Xiao Sa and Shen Muqing was on the back street of the county government, on the most prosperous street in Huding County.

Chen Muqing looked at the clean house and thanked Mrs. Third.

The third wife kept returning the gifts and smiled, "Grandma Qi has lived in Kyoto for a long time, and I don't know if you are satisfied or not. If you have any needs, just ask the shopkeeper of Maosheng Rice Shop - that rice shop is the property of our Zheng family."

Chen Muqing responded and asked Pang Debao to come and asked him to go to Yanzhou Guards. He told Xiao Sa that he had arrived safely. He also asked his mother Li to go to the restaurant to call a few dishes and leave the third wife for dinner.

The dish was spicy and numb. Chen Muqing was not used to this taste, but just did his master's duty to accompany his third wife to eat something.

The third wife advised her: "Huding County has heavy humidity, eat some spicy food to remove the moisture."

There are many places to get used to in the future!

Chen Muqing thought and nodded heavily.

The third wife stayed to rest for a night, and early the next morning, she took the excuse of having a lot of things at home and escorted back to Jinzhou under the escort of the Zheng family.

Chen Muqing opened a box and set up the house. In the evening, Pang Debao came back: "The Seventh Master said he knew. He still has something to tell Qianhu of Yanzhou Guards that he would come to see his grandma when he was free."

The exiled people want to live under the surveillance of the Qianhu, Yanzhou Wei. Without Qianhu, there is no freedom to turn a blind eye.

Chen Muqing thought, opened the cage and took a thousand taels of silver bills to Pang Debao: "Take it to the young master."

Pang Debao smiled and left.

In the next few days, Chen Muqing packed up the house and combed a round bun that ordinary women often combed, wore a blue cloth dress and went around the street with his mother Li, and went to see Maosheng Rice Shop in a special way.

It also emits a pungent smell of raw lacquer... the rice shop was actually newly opened.

Chen Muqing couldn't help but feel a little moved.

The Zheng family has tried their best to make this nephew who has no name!

After roughly understanding the layout of Huding County, Chen Muqing returned home.

Compared with other courtyards on the back street, the Zheng family even looked a bit old outside, but when they entered the door, they had flowers and trees, pink walls and gray tiles, and they were simple and generous. Chen Muqing liked them very much.

When I entered the house, it was full of red painted gold-painted furniture, which looked magnificent.

She couldn't help but wonder if this was the usual style of the Zheng family. The Great Zhou Dynasty was a little depressed by the food, clothing and expenses of merchants, so the giants tried to make a fuss about the decoration of the inner house.

The outer courtyard was managed by Pang Debao. He asked the Zheng family for four guards, one to drive the car. He also looked at the inner courtyard, except for the eldest maids Mingxia and Ningbi, Li's mother was left by Chen Muqing's mother, who was unable to serve. Although Yuegui was good at cooking, she could only help the inner house to make some snacks and suppers. So he asked the third wife of the Zheng family to ask for two mothers who were rough, two mothers on the stove, two little maids who were needlework, and two little maids who were used by Mingxia and Ningbi. The family gradually became a little bit full of atmosphere.
