Chapter 257 The situation in Kyoto

Chen Zhen did not show a surprised expression when he saw Chen Muqing, but pointed to the Taishi chair beside him: "Sit!"

Chen Muqing had a blessed body and sat down.

A servant gave tea.

"This is Tieguanyin sent by Ruichun," Chen Zhen smiled, "It tastes very good."

Chen Muqing smiled and said, "It's rare that the master likes it."

Seeing this, Yingfen gestured to the maid serving in the room, and everyone tiptoed back.

Only father and daughter were left in the room, and Chen Zhen spoke out bluntly: "I want to come to Xiao Sa to leave you a letter!"

It is a positive sentence, not a question sentence.

Chen Muqing nodded: "I also heard that Mr. Wang was sentenced to prison for his crime of rebellion, and he is now very ill."

Chen Zhen nodded: "If you don't punish the prince, you won't be punished with the right name. How can you not be sick if you suffer this great disaster?"

Chen Muqing pondered and said, "Is this related to this when my husband goes to Gansu?"

Chen Zhen took a sip of tea and looked solemn: "Four or five years have passed, and the emperor was still banned and restored. Now there are old subordinates of the Lin family, and the King of Qin is ready to move. Naturally, he has more wait-and-sees and less efforts. The emperor wants to hold the seat, but he does not use thunder means. The situation in the court is naturally ambiguous. Fortunately, Xiao Sa can make a decision after calming down and then move. Taking advantage of the war in Gansu, he will volunteer to share the worries of the country. I also agree very much... Mu Qing, you should be far-sighted and relaxed. This fight is not a day or a night, but a hundred years of pursuit. In the court, the merits of supporting the people are certainly prominent, but only pure ministers are the mainstay. What's more, Xiao Sa's departure will be promoted from the fourth rank to the third rank is also a good thing!"

After knowing the inside story, Chen Muqing felt relieved. She smiled and said, "Don't worry, Master, I'm not that narrow-minded woman." Thinking of the imperial prison that Wang Shengyun was convicted of being convicted of rebellious conspiracy, it was no better than Chen Zhen's greedy prison back then, and he couldn't help but sigh, "That Master Wang... I'm afraid there will be more misfortune. I just feel pitiful of relatives and six relatives!"

Chen Zhen smiled bitterly: "Now he supported the King of Qin back then, so how could such a thing happen? This is God's will!" His tone was very sad.

Is it true that one pecks and one drinks?

Chen Muqing was also quite moved.

"Since you are here alone, your in-laws shouldn't know about this!" Chen Zhen said, "She is not an ordinary boudoir. You will tell her about Xiao Sa's affairs when you go back later. Although the house in Nanxunfang is good, it is not the time to move in at this time. It makes her feel wronged and wronged. She will temporarily settle in our Shen family. The emperor also has a counselor Wang Tu, who believes that the situation in the court will be clear in the past two or three months. Don't worry, don't worry."

Chen Muqing answered "yes" and stood up and said, "I'll go to see the eldest wife now."

Chen Zhen nodded, Chen Muqing bowed his knees and retreated, turned around and went to the eldest wife.

Although the eldest wife was tired, she thought that there was something strange about today and she could not sleep. She was leaning on the big kang next to the window thinking about what happened during this period. I heard that Chen Muqing was coming and went in person.

Chen Muqing gave a wink at the eldest lady. The eldest lady sent the people who served around her. Chen Muqing told the reason why Xiao Sa went to Gansu. The eldest lady's face showed joy: "We Sa'er can marry you, it's a blessing to cultivate. I don't care about the third grade, I just hope he can survive this disaster safely."

"He has been through the dangerous land like Bahe," Chen Muqing smiled, "If you die, you must be blessed later. Please relax and wait for the good news for your husband."

The eldest lady nodded repeatedly and said, "Since the in-laws asked us not to move for the time being, I will stay with shamelessness. While we are guests and there is not much at home, we might as well find a day to go to the temple to bring incense sticks to Xiao Sa and ask the Bodhisattva to bless our Sa'er to be smooth and safe."

Although Chen Muqing said something full of confidence, he was not very sure in his heart. At this time, he could go to the temple to burn incense, at least he could comfort himself.

She could understand the eldest lady’s thoughts, not to mention that she wanted to go there too.

Chen Muqing looked full of joy: "You are still considerate." He asked the jade hairpin to get a book of the yellow paper, "Do you see when is the right time to go?"

The eldest lady looked through the almanac and saw that there were no good days in these few days. It was not until May 25 that there were good days for praying, sacrificing, and traveling.

"There are still six or seven days left," the eldest lady smiled, "You can take advantage of these days to have a good rest."

Chen Muqing nodded, and the two of them were talking and laughing. The eldest lady was heartbroken, so she naturally stopped holding back her body. She was tired. When Chen Muqing saw it, she stood up and said goodbye after saying a few words.

*******

When he returned to Tingyuxuan, Chen Muqing also slept for a while and woke up again, it was already dusk.

"Where is Yueying and Brother Xing?" She sat in front of the mirror and the maids combed her hair and asked Yingfan who was serving her.

"The big girl and Master Chang were playing in the back garden." Yingfen smiled, "Brother Xing was sleeping with Mom Huang. I just went to see it and haven't woken up yet."

When Li's mother stayed in Shanghai, Grandma Zheng San sent Mom Huang. It turned out that she had served with Grandma Zheng San for many years. Seeing that she was steady in her work, Chen Muqing asked her to take charge in Xingge's house.

"Have the eldest lady woke up?"

"Not yet." Yingfen smiled, "It was just that my aunt came to see her grandma several times. Seeing that her grandma was asleep, she didn't ask anyone to call her. Look, do you want to tell her? The master is afraid that she will wait for you to wake up and have dinner together."

Chen Muqing nodded: "Then send someone to the eldest lady's side to take a look. If the eldest lady is not awake, don't be alarmed. Tell the master and let's wait."

Yingfen responded and came back soon after, and said with a smile: "The eldest lady is awake, and it's just that Sister Yuzhan is here to ask her grandma if she is awake...I have sent someone to report to my aunt."

"Come back Yueying," Chen Muqing smiled, "Let Xi Mai help her wash it--she and Master Chang go to the back garden, but I'm afraid that none of them are clean."

Yingfen went with a smile.

After Yueying cleaned up, Brother Xing woke up, Chen Mu became fed with Brother Xing, and then took his children to the eldest wife's place and the group went to the flower hall in the inner courtyard.

There were two seats in the flower hall, including the eldest wife, Chen Muqing and the grand house, Ren Xiang, Shi Jingshu, and Chang Hui. Chen Zhen smiled and said, "It's all a family, so there's no need to avoid anything. Just serve the food like this!"

Aunt Chen smiled and replied "Yes", Ren Xiang took the guest into the table, and the man sat at the table and the woman sat at the table.

When the dishes were served, most of them were liked by Chen Muqing. Whether it was Chen Zhen’s instructions or Aunt Chen’s intention, Chen Muqing was very grateful and naturally had a happy meal.

After the mat was dispersed, Chen Zhen, Ren Xiang and others went to the study to have tea, and the women moved to the side room to talk.

It was very lively and it didn't last until the beginning of Hai.

Chen Muqing concealed his excitement and tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. He got up in the middle of the night and wrote a letter to Xiao Yunniang, telling her what happened during this period, and said that when the situation in Kyoto stabilized, he would ask her to take her children to Kyoto to play. Then he wrote a letter to Xiao Sa, telling him that he would always support his decision and relax him, and that she would arrange the family affairs.

After writing the letter, my heart that had been floating in the air fell down and fell asleep shortly after going to bed.

Early the next morning, she called Yingfen: "Send someone to deliver the letter."

Yingfen responded to the voice. Chen Muqing packed up and took the child to pay tribute to the eldest wife first, and then went to Chen Zhen's place: "I want to go to the temple and took Yueying and Brother Xing to kowtow to the wife."

Chen Zhen nodded: "Let Dashe accompany you! Take a few more guards."

"Da She wants to go to school. Although he is talented, it may be better not to delay it." Chen Muqing politely rejected Chen Zhen's proposal, "Let Mr. Ren accompany us - I will bring Chang Hui with me."

Chang Hui went home last night and came early this morning and had no intention of living with Liu Niang.

With Chang Hui by his side, Chen Zhen was naturally relieved. He gave a few words and called Zhou Baimu to come in and prepare to go to the temple.

The eldest lady knew that Chen Muqing was going to worship Li, so she changed into simple clothes and wanted to follow her: "...I haven't seen anyone, so I have to go to worship him and worship him to have peace of mind."

Five carriages, more than twenty guards, and a group of people went to the temple.

Chen Muqing took Xiao Yueying to kowtow to Li, and Brother Xing looked around in the magpie's arms.

"Madam, I'm doing a good life now." She clasped her hands together and murmured, "The children are healthy, Xiao Sa treats me well. If you have a spirit in heaven, bless your granddaughter and grandson Qingtai to be safe."

Xiao Yueying followed her mother with her hands folded, but her eyes were staring at the yellow curtain hanging on the hall and lying around.

Chen Muqing asked Xiao Yueying to kowtow to his mother's tablet, and the eldest wife also went up to scent and kowtowed. Chen Muqing asked Xique and Huang's mother to take Xiao Yueying and Brother Xing to the side room to play, and he and the eldest wife helped Li's eternal lamp to add fuel to the eternal light.

The host saw that he clasped his hands together and recited Amitabha Buddha. Chen Muqing donated 1,000 taels of silver in incense and oil to Li.

At noon, the host kept them for dinner. Chen Muqing thought that his situation was subtle at this time, so he looked at the eldest wife. The eldest wife happened to go with her, so she refused the host's kindness and rushed back with her child.

When we arrived at Mount Alfalfa, it was only at the end of the year that those who came late were rushing to the temples. Those who came early were about to go down the mountain. For a while, the traffic on the road was very crowded, and the coachman consciously slowed down.

Xiao Yueying sat impatiently and often lifted the curtain of the car and looked out. Outside the car, there were pedestrians. Everyone looked hurried, which was also very boring for a child who was less than three years old. She looked at it for a while and then put the curtain of the car, but staying in the car was even more boring. She lifted the curtain of the car and looked out. After many times, Chen Muqing felt sorry for her boredness and whispered to her: "Is it okay for Mom to tell you about Chang'e's story?"

Children are not like adults when listening to stories, and they are not interested in repeated stories. They just need to listen to stories. It doesn’t matter if you tell them three or five times. Sometimes they will recall certain clips and continue to tell them on their own initiative. If they get the praise of adults at this time, they like to listen to stories even more.

Xiao Yueying cheered and threw herself into Chen Muqing's arms.

Chen Muqing stroked his daughter's thin black hair and whispered to her about Chang'e's story.

As soon as Chang'e regretted stealing the elixir, the car body shook and then stopped suddenly. During the bumpy period, Chen Muqing and his eldest wife almost fell into the car.

"What happened?" The eldest wife was unprecedentedly strict.

There were her granddaughter and grandson sitting in the car. If there was a short time, where would she go to find the medicine for regret!
