Mingxia and Ningbi were flying needles and threading. When they heard the movement, they immediately put down the needlework in their hands to pay their respects to Mrs. Fang.

Mrs. Fang picked up the stone blue cloth clothes in the rattan basket and said, "Look at the needle corner... I'm afraid there is no second person in the entire Shanghai Dept." She looked up at Mingxia and Ningbi, "I don't know whose skillful hand is it?"

Mingxia stepped forward and bowed, "Reply to Madam, this is Ningbi's needlework."

Mrs. Fang looked at the two of them in a daze.

Chen Muqing smiled and pointed at the two of them to introduce them to Mrs. Fang.

Mrs. Fang took Ningbi's hand and smiled, "I'm really capable!" She looked at Chen Muqing with a smile, "I don't know if I have said my husband's family?"

Chen Muqing was alert, looked at Ningbi's nervous face and smiled and said, "She has a mother at home, I'm not going to help her decide."

Ningbi breathed a sigh of relief. After hearing this, Mrs. Fang nodded, told Shen Muqing some things about needlework, and then stood up to say goodbye: "... I heard from the master that Mr. Xiao went to Ya'an Mansion. I was afraid that you would be afraid of someone when you first came... Since you are with you and are busy with needlework, I will go back first." His smile was gentle and his tone was sincere.

Chen Muqing was a little surprised and grateful when he heard this. He smiled and stayed at Mrs. Fang: "You will not delay this time if you sit there again."

Mrs. Fang insisted on leaving, but Chen Muqing couldn't help but send her out. After sending her out, she returned to the house to do needlework with Mingxia Ningbi. She was busy until midnight and got up early the next day.

At noon, a cotton robe was sewn.

"It's okay?" Mingxia said nervously, "I sewed the two sleeves, the inner ones were sewed by Ningbi, and the body was sewed by you... Wouldn't it be wrinkled?"

Because it is handmade, the needle angles are different, and three people make part of them, so Mingxia's worries are not unreasonable.

Xiao Sa was tall, Chen Muqing stood on the bed and carried the cotton robe and spread it out: "How is it?"

Mingxia and Ningbi looked at it for a long time and breathed a sigh of relief: "It seems to be quite wide."

"Let me see!" Chen Muqing got out of bed, Mingxia hurriedly stepped forward to support her, and then Ningbi stood on the little mat beside the bed and carried her clothes and spread them for Chen Muqing to see.

Chen Muqing nodded slightly: "Mingxia and I have similar stitches, Ningbi's is slightly loose... In the future, Mingxia and I will be outside, let Ningbi be inside, so that it will be faster!"

The two of them nodded quickly.

Chen Muqing sat by the bed and folded his cotton robe and ordered Mingxia and Ningbi: "I said I'm back in the afternoon, and I don't know the specific time... Mingxia, go and ask the people in the kitchen to prepare some dishes, Ningbi will make needles and thread with me."

Mingxia and Ningbi both responded with a smile. After Mingxia left, Chen Muqing and Ningbi spoke while doing needlework: "Mingxia, I asked the third wife of the Zheng family to help you care. Although you came to my house late, in my heart, I also want to ask you what you mean in this matter!"

Ningbi blushed: "Grandma brought Mingxia and me here, why did she leave like this... It would not be too late to talk about my affairs when my grandmother and grandma returned to Kyoto."

Chen Muqing smiled and said, "My master and I don't know when we can go back. Can we not marry for a year if we don't go back for a year, and if we don't go back for ten years, we won't marry for ten years? Even if you agree, I won't agree."

Ningbi lowered her head and said nothing, even her ears turned red.

Chen Muqing smiled.

Let them decide their own destiny!

She lowered her head and began to concentrate on doing needlework.

It was time for dinner, Xiao Sa had not come back. Chen Muqing was a little worried, but he thought that he was the head of the family now, so he didn't dare to show it. Seeing that he was the person in charge of the city gate, thinking that Xiao Sa might not come back tonight, she sighed secretly and patroled the night with Mingxia, sitting in the side hall and listening to Mingxia standing on the steps of the main hall to scold those mothers who were on the night: "...Wine and gambling are not allowed, and those who happen will be driven out; be careful of the portal, patrol three times each time, and a stick of incense is given... "

This is a must-do every night. Chen Muqing listened, his mind was a little wandering, thinking about Xiao Sa's affairs.

I don’t know if it was because Ya’an was delayed? Or if I came back late, I couldn’t enter the city? There was only one teahouse in the suburbs of Shanghai, where was there a place to rest... Peng Lingxun was with him. If there was a problem with the itinerary, would Peng Lingxun have any doubts about Xiao Sa’s ability...

She was thinking in a mess that the little maid Xi Mai, who was sent from Zheng's family, gently pulled her sleeve.

Chen Muqing came to his senses.

The magpie whispered: "The yellow oriole is at the door."

Huang Ying was another little maid sent by the Zheng family.

Chen Muqing looked over and happened to meet Huang Ying's anxious gaze.

"What are you going to ask?" Chen Muqing looked solemn and whispered to the magpie.

The magpie responded and muttered a few words to Huang Ying when she went out, then quickly walked to Chen Muqing's side, and said anxiously: "Grandma, I'm back!"

Chen Muqing was overjoyed, stood up with a smile, and coughed gently.

Mingxia had long noticed the strangeness between Huang Ying and Xi Magpie. Now that she heard Chen Muqing's intentional cough, she speeded up her speech and ended her speech.

Several mothers bowed and retreated.

Chen Muqing's steps became light and brisk: "Let's go, I'm back!" His face was full of joy.

Mingxia said "Oh" and followed Chen Muqing quickly walked out: "Grandma, this is a great joy."

Chen Muqing couldn't help laughing: "He has only been gone for two or three days, let's see you like this!"

Mingxia made her happy: "Aren't we happy for grandma?"

As he was talking, Xiao Sa and Jin Liang came towards him.

It was already dark, and red lanterns were lit under the eaves, illuminating Chen Muqing's smiling face, and she felt a joyful feeling.

Xiao Sa felt happy when he looked at it, and his fatigue for a few days was wiped out.

He stepped forward and pulled Chen Muqing's hand, shouting "Muqing".

Her warm palms wrapped around her, her bright eyes stared at her, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up: "Have you had a smooth journey? Have you eaten?"

"So smooth!" Xiao Sa smiled, "We Shen Zheng arrived, but was taken to Zuixianlou by the magistrate Peng County to drink, so we came back then."

Chen Muqing only smelled the faint smell of wine on his body.

"I'm just wondering!" she smiled, "How could you come back at this time...quickly into the house for a rest."

Xiao Sa nodded with a smile, and the two of them took their hands into the house.

Mingxia had already ordered the little maid to bring hot water and serve Xiao Sa to change clothes. When Xiao Sa came out, a bowl of steaming soup had already been placed on the table.

"The soup used for hanging from the old hen," Chen Muqing explained, "I added a few slices of ginseng to raise people, but it would not be a big supplement."

Xiao Sa drank chicken soup and talked to her: "What have you done these days?"

"I made a cotton robe for you," Chen Muqing sat beside Xiao Sa and watched him drink the soup, "I'll try it for you after you drink the soup."

Xiao Sa nodded: "Didn't you go out for a walk?"

"No!" Chen Muqing smiled and told Xiao Sa about Mrs. Fang's visit, "...Look, let's take a look at the time when we go to Fang's house to visit."

Xiao Sa pondered: "Since they knew that I was back today and it was too late, it would be bad... But I don't know when the county government's documents will arrive tomorrow..."

Chen Muqing was shocked when he heard this. Before Xiao Sa could speak, he said hurriedly: "Class? What kind of document?"

Xiao Sa looked panicked at Chen Muqing and felt a little uncomfortable. He shook her hand: "I'm hiring me to be a teacher in the county school!"

There is a staffing staff of 1 teaching etiquette and 3 teaching etiquette in the county school. Due to the special situation in Shanghai, there is only one teaching etiquette. Now the following document asks Xiao Sa to be a gentleman. To put it bluntly, it is a position that does not conform to the formulation and procedures. Fortunately, Xiao Sa did not go for this position.

"It's good to have formal documents!" Chen Muqing heard it as if a stone had fallen to the ground and became more at ease, "We are just preventing problems before they happen!"

Xiao Sa nodded with a smile.

Chen Muqing asked again: "There will be a document coming tomorrow. Did Lord Peng tell you? Have you done everything you want to do when you go to Ya'an Prefecture? Are there any preparations at home?"

Pour out like a cannon.

Xiao Sa smiled and said to her in detail: "I also had the intention to go to Ya'an with the Mid-Autumn Festival ceremony. So when I broke up, I deliberately ordered Jin Liang to go to Beijing in front of Lord Peng. Lord Peng's face changed slightly at that time, and he became a little intimate with me. Later, he almost obeyed me in the rice shop's choice, the staff's equipment and other matters. At night, we rested at the Bafang Inn in Ya'an Prefecture, and the Ming Zheng of Ya'an Prefecture suddenly came to visit me!"

"The famous master of the Zhengshi of Ya'an Mansion?" Chen Muqingqi said, "Are you familiar with him?"

Xiao Sa shook his head: "Where do I know me? It's the second master of the Zheng family. He used a lot of money to invite him to sit in my room for a while. After the master left, Lord Peng's eyes became more confused when he looked at me. I didn't hide it from him, and said that I don't know this person, but was a friend of the second master of the Zheng family. After being entrusted by Zheng Erma, I came to visit me and asked us what difficulties we had in Ya'an Mansion. If there were any difficult things, I would just look for him."

"You are like this, but Lord Peng feels that you are frank and honest," Chen Muqing smiled, "I'm afraid you will feel a little more favorable."

"Yes!" Xiao Sa laughed, "So on the way back, he told me clearly about asking me to be a teacher in the county school. He also said that he would ask the county magistrate Sun to come and deliver the documents in person." At the end of the story, he was already a little sad.

Chen Muqing was afraid that he would be too sad, so he covered his mouth and smiled, saying, "I have been worried about this. Unexpectedly, a trip to Ya'an not only allowed you to complete what Lord Peng told me, but also left a good impression on Lord Peng - I think there is nothing better than this!"

Xiao Sa also agreed quite well and said, "Mr. Peng has a good impression of me, and I see that Mr. Peng has some advantages."

Chen Muqing raised his eyebrows in surprise.

Xiao Sa said: "I suggested to him that I could do the granary and grain business. He was a little moved at the time, but after a moment of pondering, he said bluntly and refused."

Chen Muqing nodded.

Xiao Sa said again: "It's over, so I have to make mistakes. I advised him that we will not collect it with ease, nor will we write IOUs... it's just one more opportunity than the general public."

"What did the magistrate Peng say?" Chen Muqing was a little worried.

Xiao Sa smiled faintly and said, "He was a little surprised. He thought for a long time but didn't make a sound. I think this is a bit concise!"
