Chapter 258 The situation is stable
"Madam, there is a car in front of you that has overturned." The coachman hurriedly said, "I'm afraid I'll wait."
The eldest lady lifted the curtain and looked out, and there was a cry in her ears, and shouts came.
"I'll go and see!" Before the eldest lady could speak, Chang Hui had already run towards the place where the accident happened.
"Then wait!" The eldest lady put down the curtain and played with the ropes with Xiao Yueying who looked a little aggrieved.
Chen Muqing's heart moved.
In the past, Xiao Yueying was always impetuous when encountering this situation. Although she was unhappy this time, she was still playing with the big wife and turning the ropes.
Is Chang Hui’s words true? After a period of training, Yueying’s emotions can be controlled.
She lifted the curtain and told the guards around her: "Go and invite Mr. Chang back!"
The guard left, Chen Muqing put down the curtain, and the corner of his eyes flashed across the carriage opposite.
Someone lifted the curtain and looked out.
Round face, fair skin, black and shiny hair...
Her heart thrust and she lifted the curtain again.
The person opposite seemed to have some senses and looked at this side, and the eyes of the two met in the air.
Wang Wenhui...it turned out to be Wang Wenhui!
But her eyebrows at the corners of her eyes were no longer as sweet and calm as before, and her eyes also lost their former radiance... The eyebrows were full of fatigue and dull eyes.
For some reason, Chen Muqing suddenly thought of the pain that Chen Zhen felt like he was suffering in a pan of oil when he was imprisoned.
She really wanted to say hello to Wang Wenhui.
But before Chen Muqing could speak, Wang Wenhui had already smiled kindly.
It turned out that the somewhat dull gaze immediately showed a sense of brilliance... just like the confidence and calmness of the first meeting.
Chen Muqing smiled and nodded to her.
Wang Wenhui gently put down the curtain of the car.
"What happened?" The eldest lady saw Chen Muqing staring out the car window, "Is it very blocked?"
"No!" Chen Muqing put down the curtain of the car and said something naturally, "The big grandmother of Liang's mansion is sitting in the carriage opposite."
The eldest lady was stunned for a moment before she reacted: "Dingyuan Hou Liang's family?"
"Yeah!" Chen Muqing looked a little sad, "The wife of Liang Bogong, the Marquis of Dingyuan, is the daughter of Mr. Wang... It was so early in the morning, I was afraid that it was to pray for Mr. Wang."
There are some specialties in the incense of praying for blessings. In order to show sincerity, I will burn incense. It is the first incense in the temple. That's why Wang Wenhui was so early!
The eldest wife sighed: "The men are committing evil outside, but they are scared by the women at home."
"Who said it was not?" Chen Muqing was quite touched, but he felt it was inappropriate as soon as he said that - Xiao Sa is now the general of Gansu, and he is a third-rank official who doesn't know whether he can sit firmly. "But there is nothing to do about this!" She changed her tone, "Who wants to do this is just to ask for a meal."
"You, don't be afraid that I'm unhappy." The eldest lady is a human spirit, and there is no way to see Chen Muqing's concerns. "After the storm, I will persuade him to quit his armor and return to the field, so as not to hang around the east and west - I want to have a few more grandchildren!"
Chen Muqing smiled awkwardly.
According to the law, if the general is outside, his family will stay in Beijing. If Xiao Sa's general is stable, the couple will be in Gansu and the other in Kyoto in the future.
The two of them said a few more words, and Chang Hui came back: "What's the matter with me, grandma?"
"What's going on before?" The eldest lady spoke first.
"It's okay," Chang Hui smiled, "A child suddenly ran to the road, and the car didn't stop, but fortunately no one was injured..."
Before he finished speaking, there was a noise coming from front. Chang Hui looked back and then smiled and turned back: "Madam, the road is open!"
*******
When she returned to the Shen family, Chen Muqing's mind was full of Wang Wenhui's dull gaze. She was in a low mood and leaned on the big kang without wanting to move.
Yingfen and others thought she was tired and her movements were gentler than usual.
A little maid whispered: "Grandma, Grandma Ren is here."
Chen Muqing hurriedly stood up: "Come in quickly."
"I wouldn't have come if I had known you had stopped!" As soon as she finished speaking, Shi Jingshu walked in with a smile, and behind her was a little maid holding a food box.
Shi Jingshu was no other person. Chen Muqing welcomed her to sit down on the kang and told her about what happened to Wang Wenhui today: "...I don't know why, some people feel sad when they die."
"Oh!" Shi Jingshu sighed, "You just returned to Beijing and don't know something. Master Wang's family was locked up in the Dali Department, his property was confiscated, and his servant was sold at a low price... Wang Wenhui is also a smart and capable person. He knew that Master Wang could not pass this pass, so he simply left his father alone and found a family to release several young nephews in the family."
Chen Muqing felt even more sad when he heard this.
Although the hero has broken his arm, he can survive, but only he knows how much pain he feels!
"Okay, okay, let's not cry for others when reading ancient books." Shi Jingshu cheered up and smiled, "Look, what did I bring to you?"
The little maid hurriedly handed the food box in her hand to Yingfan.
Yingfen took it and put it on the kang table and opened it.
Inside are fresh fruit fruits.
Chen Muqing smiled: "This must have been brought from Nanjing by Mr. Ren to please you."
"What are you pleased or not!" Shi Jingshu's face turned slightly red and she said coquettishly, "I took the things to give to you, but I was wrong!"
"Good sister, it's my fault!" Chen Muqing pulled Shi Jingshu's hand, "It's me who said the wrong thing. Don't be upset! Otherwise, my brother-in-law will come to settle the score with me."
"The more you talk, the less it feels! "Shi Jingshu shook Chen Muqing's hand and stood up, "I'm leaving!"
"No, no, no, no." Chen Muqing hurriedly took Shi Jingshu to the kang, "My sister and I were having fun!"
How could Shi Jingshu not know that Chen Muqing was having fun with her? It’s just that her mother around her has asked her to be dignified since she was a child. She really felt embarrassed about such a joke.
Chen Muqing also understood that Shi Jingshu no longer joked, and talked to her about her mother's scriptures. Shi Jingshu knew that Chen Muqing was a veteran and was willing to tell her about her. The two of them whispered in a low voice, and they were in a very speculative mood, and they were in a much better mood.
When he saw Jingshu off, Yingfen came in and asked Chen Muqing to tell him: "How can we wrap the two cars of local specialties you brought back from Shanghai Ding?"
Chen Muqing sighed: "Let's just leave that for the time being?"
Yingfen was slightly stunned.
Chen Muqing said: "A family like Dai Gui still knows to thank guests behind closed doors, let alone us who are not clear at the moment. I used to be a little bit weird. I only realized the dangers in it when I was in the scene!" My tone was very sad.
Yingfen has experienced a lot in recent years and is not alone in the face of the problem. Naturally, he can understand Chen Muqing's thoughts, so he smiled and changed the topic: "In two days, you and your eldest wife will go to burn incense. Which temple should you decide? I'm going to prepare in advance."
"Let's make a decision when I ask the eldest lady!"
The two were talking, and a servant who served Chen Zhen asked for a meeting.
Chen Muqing hurriedly invited him in, and the servant bowed and replied, "Master, please ask my aunt to go to the study."
Chen Muqing changed his clothes and hurried to Chen Zhen's place.
Seeing his daughter, Chen Zhen's expression was a little strange. He sent the person who served beside him and said, "Mu Qing, Nangong, the funeral is here!"
The news came so quickly, so suddenly, after a moment of stagnation, there was endless joy: "So, my husband is fine!"
"It's not just okay!" Chen Zhen sighed, "Xiao Sa won three battles and three victories in Gansu, and it happened to meet the funeral god living in Nangong. The emperor thought this was a good omen and had issued an order. Wang Shengyun asked for the beheading in three days."
After a brief joy, there is an indescribable sorrow.
It was an expected ending, but when the news was confirmed, Chen Muqing still felt as cold as falling into an ice cave and couldn't help asking: "Then the death today..."
"I died of illness!" Chen Zhen affirmed, "It can also be said to be scared to death."
Anyone who reaches that point will be in a panic and anxious... Death is a difference in thoughts from the superiors, and it is also an inevitable result.
Chen Zhen opened the window, and the sunset spread out like brocade in the horizon, coating Chen Zhen with a layer of gold edge.
"Mu Qing, Kyoto is about to change!"
*******
Chen Muqing and his eldest wife were originally scheduled to go to the temple to burn incense on the 25th, and their itinerary to pray for Xiao Sa was disrupted. Not only that, Zhou Bing wanted to take the account of Yiwen Tea Shop for her to show her, but she also politely refused and changed her life.
First, Wang Shengyun was beheaded and the news that Wang's children and women were exiled to Lingnan came. Later, the King of Qin changed his title to King Anlu to take the vassal of Anlu. It was like a storm, only a few dark clouds blocking the sun before the rain, but smart people knew that they must not go out at this time, so as not to be soaked into a scattered chicken.
At this time, it is naturally better to have less than more things.
"We originally intended to pray for Xiao Sa. Since he is fine, he will not blame us if he postponed his thoughts!" The eldest lady comforted Chen Muqing, "If we look for an opportunity to go again, I will definitely donate more incense and oil to re-gold the Bodhisattva."
"It's good." Chen Muqing nodded and smiled, "We should choose an auspicious day for the house in Nanxunfang to start repairing. In a few days, we can just ask the master to help you choose a good day."
The two of them went to the back garden while talking - Xiao Yueying was practicing with Chang Hui there, and Chen Muqing and the eldest wife both felt that the child was too young and were worried, so they wanted to go and take a look.
As soon as they left the yard door, they ran into Zhou Baimu.
"Grandma, I'm going to go to you!" Zhou Baimu bowed.
"But what advice did the master give?" Chen Muqing said.
"The master asked me to borrow two old kiln teacups from my aunt."
Chen Muqing smiled and said, "What's the matter? Just let a servant come and get it, why should you come in person?"
"I'd better come here in person to feel at ease."
Chen Muqing asked Mingxia to take Zhou Baimu to open the warehouse and asked him curiously: "Who is here? The master is so serious and even borrows an old kiln teacup from me."
Zhou Baimu looked around and saw that the maids and mothers were following from afar, and her smile could not be stopped. "A man came from the palace just now and said that the emperor would be here soon. The master asked me to borrow a tea cup from my aunt. The master would make tea and entertain the emperor with his own hands."
"The Emperor is coming!" Chen Muqing was shocked, and thought of the value of the old kiln teacup, and hurriedly said, "Don't take this teacup, just ask my aunt for a few sweet white porcelain teacups."
Zhou Baimu didn't understand.
Chen Muqing had to say vaguely: "Our family has been raided before, why do we still use teacups from the old kiln to treat guests... Others are fine, but this time the emperor is here!"
Zhou Baimu understood and left in response.
