Chapter 259 Thunder and Rain
The Imperial Guard guarded the important places of the Shen family, and the female members of the Shen family gathered in the Green Ivy Courtyard, the farthest outer courtyard.
Chen Muqing looked at the smiling faces in the room and couldn't help but think absurdly: No wonder people say that Thunder and Yulu are all Jun's kindness. When the Shen family was confiscated, I heard Aunt Chen later talk about it. The Imperial Guards also guarded the various gates, and all the women in the family gathered together...
"Auntie, do you think you are going to use our master!" Aunt Chen leaned over to Chen Muqing and whispered.
Chen Muqing came to her senses and smiled and said, "Is that right? You'll know later. Don't be anxious, aunt." In fact, she also had this premonition.
Aunt Chen smiled embarrassedly: "Isn't this for the master worthless? I remember when the emperor was trapped, our master often sent some money to the prince's mansion. But now the emperor has restored the throne, and the support is Wang Tu and Li Huan..."
"What nonsense!" Chen Muqing yelled softly, "Is it a gentleman who does it to repay kindness?"
In fact, he was afraid that the emperor would be afraid of his past incompetence and would be spread by people with ulterior motives, which made the emperor dislike Chen Zhen.
Aunt Chen was scolded by Chen Muqing in front of so many people, and she couldn't stand it and murmured with a hint of disguise: "I'm not wrong... The thing was given by Manager Pang. If you don't believe it, you can ask Jingshu too!"
Although the female family members of the Shen family were all in the Luluo Courtyard, they were not all sitting together like squares. The maids and mothers serving were all standing outside the courtyard, and there were only a few of their confidant mothers and maids in the room. Although their tone was light, the eldest wife and Shi Jingshu could hear it clearly.
"Auntie!" The eldest lady smiled and advised Aunt Chen, "It was the past, now it is now. Think about it, if we took this little thing to ask the emperor for merit, how would the emperor think of the in-laws? We should not mention this matter less." As she said that, she took Aunt Chen's hand, "Sit down and have a tea! The emperor doesn't know when he will leave?"
Aunt Chen is not the woman who has never seen the world. She was just happy just now. She was so surprised that she would not go with the flow when the eldest wife gave her a step.
"Don't be upset, auntie." Aunt Chen smiled, "I have long hair and short knowledge. If there is anything wrong with me in the future, please give me more advice."
Chen Muqing was not easy to beat people with a smile, and said with a smile: "It's good that my aunt can understand!"
As several people were talking, a little maid ran in and said, "Auntie, aunt, the nobles in the palace are here to send an order to ask you to come to see the driver."
Chen Muqing was stunned and looked at each other with the eldest wife. Only Aunt Chen was very happy and walked over to tidy up Chen Muqing's clothes: "Good aunt, go quickly. Face the saint, it's a blessing for life."
The eldest lady shook Chen Muqing's hand: "Be careful!" Her fingertips were cold.
Chen Muqing nodded with a smile: "Soldiers come to block the enemy, and water comes to flood the earth. Don't worry, I will act according to the opportunity."
"Be careful!" Shi Jingshu also whispered, and then sent Chen Muqing to the door with the eldest wife.
The person who came to spread the holy metaphor was a young father-in-law in his early twenties who was loyal, but Chen Muqing didn't dare to look down on him, so he stuffed a purse to his father-in-law: "A little thing, I will take it to play with when my father-in-law is fine."
It's a small jade Ruyi.
The father-in-law smiled and collected his purse. While leading Chen Muqing out, he whispered: "Mrs. Xiao doesn't know me yet, right? My name is Gu Dabao."
The eunuch who followed the emperor to Bahe with Xiao Sa... is now serving as the eunuch Bingbi in the Sili Supervisor...
Chen Muqing hurriedly bowed and said, "Eunuch Gu, I'm rude!"
Gu Dabao turned his back, avoided Chen Muqing's courtesy, and smiled and said, "Mr. Xiao and I are friends of life and death. My wife will ruin me like this."
Chen Muqing had heard of it and said that although Gu Dabao is now a eunuch in the Sili Supervisor, the emperor favors him very much and arranges the matters around him, and he is the first person among the officials.
Who dares to offend the secretary around the leader?
Chen Muqing hurriedly smiled and said, "My husband often mentions Lord Gu and says that he could not survive those days in Bahe without Lord Gu at that time." As he said that, he respectfully gave Gu Dabao a blessing, "I thank you on behalf of my husband!"
Gu Dabao laughed when he heard Chen Muqing mention Bahe. He saw that Chen Muqing was very polite to him, and he felt proud.
Who is Chen Muqing? That is the legitimate daughter of Chen Zhen and the elders! Even the emperor, he was respectful in front of the elders Shen...
"Mr. Xiao is not in Kyoto. If you encounter any inconvenience, your wife will just come to me." Gu Dabao was very kind, "Just go to Xihuamen to find a eunuch named Xiaojiu and ask him to pass on a message to me."
"Thank you, my father-in-law!" Chen Muqing saluted him again, "My father is old and my husband is guarding me again. I am not sure what to do. Thank you for your help." It seems as if Gu Dabao gave her so much favor.
Naturally, someone in the court cursed him, but Mrs. Xiao was a woman in the inner hut... What she said was much more credible to Gu Dabao.
His waist was straighter, and he heard Chen Muqing murmuring: "I don't know what the emperor asked me to do... If I lose my etiquette, will it affect my husband..."
Although the voice was light, Gu Dabao could hear it very clearly. When he looked at Chen Muqing again, his brows frowned slightly and his face was full of anxiety.
"It's okay, it's okay!" Gu Dabao comforted Chen Muqing, "The emperor knew that when Lord Xiao was exiled to Huding, you followed him. He wanted to see you..." At this point, he paused and lowered his voice, "When the emperor was in Bahe, the queen cried and her eyes were broken. Later, those who did not serve him, sewed clothes and hats for the emperor with their own hands, and his eyes were completely broken. He heard about you, so he wanted to see you."
Chen Muqing's heart moved and pretended to be scared: "Yes, did you come to see me?"
"How is that possible?" Gu Dabao smiled, "I am here to see Master Chen."
He called the master the master... Is the emperor really going to use the master...
Chen Muqing was secretly anxious.
But what's the use of being anxious? Go at this time, I'm afraid that the matter to be decided has been decided.
Thinking of this, she sighed softly.
Gu Dabao thought Chen Muqing was worried about the arrival of the car a while ago, so he comforted her: "The emperor is a nostalgic person, especially for Lord Xiao, don't worry!"
Chen Muqing thanked Gu Dabao and followed him to the outer courtyard.
The emperor met him in Shen Zhen's study. He was on the veranda of the hand-written veranda outside the academy and surrounded the yard like an iron barrel.
Gu Dabao went in to report, Chen Muqing stood under the eaves and waited for a while before Gu Dabao broke back.
His face was full of smiles: "Madam Xiao, please follow me!"
"Thank you, father-in-law!" Chen Muqing thanked him and followed him into the study.
She hung her eyelids after crossing the threshold. She could only smell the faint ambergris scent in the room and saw the bluestone bricks on the floor of the study.
Gu Dabao stopped, and Chen Muqing stood five steps behind him, and then he heard Gu Dabao say respectfully: "Your Madam Xiao is here."
Feeling her eyes swept over her body, Chen Muqing hurriedly knelt down: "Xiao Shen, please see the emperor."
"Get up!" The emperor's voice was very gentle, with a calm smell. Chen Muqing stood up while thanking for his gratitude.
He sounds like a sage, but the feasible things are not the case... Maybe the profession of the emperor is not suitable for him...
She didn't dare to look up and heard the emperor talking to Shen Zhen.
"My dear friends are indifferent to fame and fortune, and their children in their families also have the ambition to be indifferent... No wonder the Queen Mother asked me to treat him well."
Chen Zhen knelt down: "The emperor's words are so important, but the old minister cannot afford it."
"Get up quickly!"
With the emperor's voice, Gu Dabao's figure walked out of Chen Muqing's sight - he wanted to come and go to help Shen Zheng.
"Transfer my order," the emperor's voice was still gentle, "I granted the third-rank imperial edict of the Shen family of Xiaomen, and the eldest son, the commander of the Lincheng Guard."
Chen Muqing was stunned. Chen Zhen had already thanked her. She didn't have to think too much and then knelt down to thank her.
The emperor personally helped Chen Zhen, while Gu Dabao helped Chen Muqing.
Taking advantage of the moment she stood up, she quickly gave the emperor a look.
Compared to the last time I peeped, the emperor has grown up a lot. Although he looks so beautiful, he already has a confident look in his eyes.
Just like seeing a boy growing up, Chen Muqing felt very sad.
"What I said just now is very careful and comprehensive. I will also go back to the palace to recruit ministers and discuss matters. Let's come to visit you in your spare time!" The emperor stood up.
Chen Zhen knelt down again and greeted the emperor.
Chen Muqing had no choice but to kneel down.
The emperor once again stood up with Chen Zhen in his own hands, Gu Dabao helped Chen Muqing, and Chen Zhen bent down and followed the emperor and walked out slowly with him. Chen Muqing breathed a sigh of relief.
After the Imperial Guards dispersed, Chen Zhen also turned back.
He smiled with his eyebrows and eyes: "It's not in vain that I can make a future for Brother Xing."
Chen Muqing was puzzled.
A proud look flashed in Chen Zhen's eyes, and he smiled but refused to answer: "The enthroned imperial edict will arrive in the next two days. Go and report it to his in-laws and wife to be happy!"
Chen Muqing turned his mind quickly and pondered: "Does the emperor want to ask you to take charge of the overall situation? You refused, but gave the emperor a good idea, so the emperor tried to sign Brother Xing and me in a different way?"
Chen Zhen just smiled slightly.
Now, even Chen Muqing felt that Chen Zhen was a little biased.
"That big house..."
Chen Zhen waved his hand, "Xiao Sa made military achievements, how can we compare - if Aunt Chen has anything to say, let her come to me." His voice was already stern. "Before the enthronement, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Personnel would ask for a name. 'When retreating, bowing him, and when advancing, he would like to promote him.' Brother Xing inherited his father's empathy at a young age, so he named him "Ziyang". I hope you can teach him with the style of a gentleman and let him live up to the name!"
Chen Muqing hurriedly bowed and said that.
"Go to report the message to your in-laws!" Chen Zhen didn't say much to Shen Muqing at all, "I want to be alone and quiet."
Chen Muqing did not dare to disturb him, so he walked out gently and closed the door casually.
As soon as she entered the second door, she saw the eldest lady walking over surrounded by Yuzhan and others.
"Mu Qing," the eldest lady's eyes smiled into a crack, "I just heard that our brother Xing has become the assistant guard of Lincheng, but is it true?"
Chen Muqing nodded with a smile: "It's true. The imperial edict will come down in two days."
"Assistant!" The eldest lady's eyes and eyebrows were slightly cheerful, "The fourth-rank, our brother Xing is now a genuine official!"
