Chapter 26: There are guests at the door

The servant went there, and Li hurriedly asked Aunt Chen to change clothes for Chen Zhen, and asked Mother Tian to carry Dashe back: "The master has a guest."

Dashe looked at Chen Zhen timidly.

But Chen Zhen has turned around and left.

Aunt Chen's expression darkened and she hurriedly followed Chen Zhen.

When Tian’s mother saw this, she hurriedly hugged the sobbing house and retreated.

Chen Yuerong's disappointment was even more unconcealed. This was the second time she had seen Chen Zhen. The first time she had only had time to salute. This time, she was preparing to find an opportunity to talk about her affairs.

Only Li, with a faint smile on his lips, asked Chen Muqing: "Do you know someone who is visiting?"

Chen Muqing smiled and said, "Mr. Ye Suye, he was the one who delivered the letter to our family that day."

Li nodded: "That's good to thank you."

Chen Muqing responded, but thought in his heart how to find an excuse to go to the flower hall to take a look.

As a result, as soon as Chen Zhen left, a little maid came in and reported: "Madam, Mrs. Dingyuan Hou is visiting."

Li and Shen Muqing were slightly surprised.

Liang Bogong, the eldest son of Dingyuan Marquis Liang Yuan, married Wen Hui, the sixth queen of Wang Shengyun, and Wang Shengyun and Shen Zhen have always been a little inconsistent. Therefore, although Liang and Chen have a good relationship, they are not called intimate. Feng, the wife of Dingyuan Marquis Feng Jie, is the eldest daughter of Deqing Marquis Feng Jie, and is a famous virtuous and kind-hearted person in the circle of noble ladies in Kyoto. Her destiny and polite worker was praised by the Empress Dowager in front of the concubines and princesses in the harem. She has always been a guest at home without leaving the door. Today is not the New Year or the Festival. How could she come to visit her home?

Li was puzzled, but he did not dare to neglect at all.

As an official in the same dynasty, he also has a different level. The Liang family has a title and is a superb one. Compared with Chen Zhen’s first-class status, his status is always higher.

Li hurriedly asked Mother Wang to invite people to the open hall of Chaoxi Hall to serve tea, and she combed her hair and changed her clothes under the service of Aunt Chen and Chengxiang, and welcomed her out.

Chen Muqing's eyes fluttered, and after a brief social engagement with Shen Yuerong, he took Luo Mei back to Anyuan.

She took off her big red silk butterfly and wore a flower robe, put a blue-green cotton-padded armor on the white silk jacket, preventing Luo Mei and Zhuji from following her, leaving Anyuan alone through the corner gate.

Chen Muqing was about to go to the flower hall of the outer courtyard to see what Xiao Sa would look like in front of Shen Zhen. No matter what, Chen Zhen was "***", she didn't believe that Xiao Sa was a fifteen or six-year-old boy who was not afraid of being timid...

Luo Mei and Zhuji saw the excited expression on Chen Muqing's face, which was very different from the usual calmness, and both secretly amaze in their hearts. The two exchanged glances and followed Chen Muqing from a distance with slight hands.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Chen Muqing walked to the second door, his mother Qi ran over panting and said, "Girl, girl, madam, let you go to the open hall to serve tea!" After a closer look, she saw Chen Muqing wearing a maid wearing a pair of armor, and she couldn't help but feel anxious: "Madam Dingyuan Hou wants to see you!"

Kyoto is just a piece of land the size of a palm, and there are only these powerful officials from the wealthy families who come and go. She looks up and sees her. She doesn't want to make Li misunderstood by a cup of tea and lose face.

Chen Muqing hurriedly took it back, changed into the big red trouser, wore a hairpin and a ring to serve Feng's tea.

Feng's birthday just passed by the 39th year this summer. She is tall, beautiful, gentle and dignified. She looks like a noble lady who was born in a famous family and married into a wealthy family.

She saw Chen Muqing's gaze was extremely gentle, and she smiled and took the tea offered by Chen Muqing, took a symbolic sip, then put it on the coffee table beside her, took a bracelet from her hand and handed it to Chen Muqing: "I also thought about it temporarily when I saw the girl - although it was ordinary, it was opened by Master Jinghui."

Mrs. Li was moved to hear it.

Master Jinghui is one of the few monks who have attained enlightenment today. Even the Empress Dowager claims to be his disciples, and his status is extremely valuable. What he has made of light can be ordinary things.

"Madam, you're so polite. You don't dare to accept such expensive things!" Li quickly refused.

Feng smiled and said, "Miss is twelve years old this year, and she is the same age as our Youhui family... Her pretty looks are delightful when you see it. Lady, don't say anything polite, that would be too disgusting."

When the rich and noble family met, there was a ceremony to give the younger generation a gift. The words of the two were also polite words on the scene.

Li raised his jaw slightly towards Chen Muqing. Chen Muqing stepped forward to salute Feng Qu and thanked him, and then took the bracelet.

Because it was said that Master Jinghui had shined, Chen Muqing couldn't help but take it carefully when he took it.

The bracelets are made of tourmaline jade like lotus seeds and rice. Every twelve pieces are inlaid with pink jade lotus the size of fingers. The lotus is extremely exquisitely crafted. Not to mention the stamens made of yellow jade, even the faint veins on the lotus petals are carved out. It is definitely not a temporary meeting gift, as Feng said.

Just as Shen Muqing looked at the bracelet, Li said apologetically: "I'm sorry, my wife, sent me the Tianshan Snow Lotus, and now I'm giving the girl such a valuable meeting gift..."

Feng smiled softly: "Last time I heard the Marquis say that his wife was in good health, so I wanted to come and see her. It happened that she bumped into our Youhui family to worship Ma Niang, because she was afraid that she would be sick, so she delayed it to this day."

Li said with concern: "It's so good now... The Maggie, who was worshipped by our girl when she was seven years old, scared our whole family."

Feng nodded and smiled, "She is fine, but something happened to her family."

Mrs. Li showed her tilted ears and listened.

Feng whispered: "My second wife has a wife."

"Oh!" Li's face was full of joy, "This is a great joy."

Feng also smiled and said, "No, I waited for five years before I waited for it... Because it was the first few months, I didn't dare to walk anywhere, so I watched her at home. After three months, I dared to go out. I came to the mansion first."

Chen Muqing also heard about the second young master of the Liang family, Liang Shuxin.

Liang Yuan, the Marquis of Dingyuan, had three sons and two daughters. After Liang Bogong and Wang Wenhui got married, they gave birth to two sons in three years. Liang Yuan was so happy that Liang Yuan could not talk. However, his second son Liang Shuxin had been married for five years and had no movement at all. When Feng celebrated his birthday, he heard that Liang Shuxin was clamoring to divorce his wife. Unexpectedly, the situation changed a big reversal in the autumn.

Li hurriedly said congratulations.

Feng sighed and said with emotion: "If I hadn't suppressed this, it would have been dispersed long ago. I wouldn't be afraid of you to laugh at me when I told you. I suffered this crime when I was young, and I would never allow my daughter-in-law to suffer this crime. I don't care about other people's sons. But our sons are never allowed to be suppressed by those messy people on the head of their wife."

There is a reason for her to say this.

Not long after Liang Yuan entered the Feng family, he took a concubine named Liu, a concubine named Liu, as his concubine. The eldest son Liang Bogong and the eldest daughter Liang Zhongkuan were both born to this aunt Liu. Not long after Liang Bogong married Wang Wenhui, he took a concubine daughter of Fuyang Duke Qin Wei as his concubine. Liang Bogong's second son was born to this concubine, and the eldest son and the second son were less than one year apart. This incident was rumored in the upper circle of Kyoto for a while.

But hasn't she always been famous?! Everyone is not very familiar with her, so how could she say such things at this time?

Chen Muqing secretly praised him.

Li was also quite surprised, but she remained silent and just followed Feng's words.

"As the saying goes, men have no children, they really have no children. What does it have to do with us women? Ordinary people just clamor for taking concubines after not leaving for three to five years, and those who are women have no chance."

"That's the truth!" Feng saw Li's eyes and met too late. "At that time, I just disagreed with letting Shuxin carry the room beside him as a concubine, let alone divorce his wife..."

The two of them talked about this topic for a long time, and until Li's face felt tired, Feng said goodbye.

Li and Shen Muqing sent Feng to the second sect all the time, and then Shen Muqing sent Feng to the Jiaomen by his mother.

Feng got on the carriage and took Chen Muqing's hand: "Your mother only has you, it's so cold. If you are idle, go to our house to go."

Chen Muqing responded with a smile, and then Feng got on the carriage.

When he returned to Chaoxi Hall, Li had already tilted on the kang next to the window of the Western Conference Room. There was a black painted gold-painted light box on the kang table.

Seeing Chen Muqing looking at the box, Li smiled and said, "It was said that the Marquis asked her to send it."

Chen Muqing opened the box and saw a few gardenias that looked like white flowers. She couldn't help but say, "This is the Tianshan Snow Lotus!" It turned out that what she saw in the book was something crystal clear and pure.

Li smiled and asked Mother Wang to take the box into the warehouse.

Mother Wang smiled and said, "Think about the day, Mr. Liu should come too. Why not take it out and show it to him and use it in the medicine."

Li smiled and said, "If you ask you to collect it, you can collect it - why waste it?"

Mother Wang naturally did not dare to rebel. Chen Muqing's heart was shocked when he heard this. Just as he was about to persuade Li, Chen Zhen turned back.

Chen Muqing was shocked: "Have the guest left so quickly?"

Aunt Chen stepped forward to change her clothes for Chen Zhen, and Chen Zhen said lightly: "I drank two cups of tea with me."

Chen Muqing sneered.

Who is Chen Zhen? It is a great gift to let him drink two cups of tea with him.

Li said caringly: "No matter what, it has helped our girl, so you can't let the girl lose face."

Chen Zhen responded absent-mindedly and answered the question irrelevantly: "I didn't expect that Xiao Sa was actually a direct descendant of the Xiao family in Lincheng, Shanxi."

Chen Muqing thought of the expression of General Manager Wang when he mentioned Ye Su and the Xiao family doing business, and couldn't help but say, "Is the Xiao family in Lincheng, Shanxi very famous?"

"Yeah!" Chen Zhen pondered, "The four major merchants, the Xiao family is at the last place, and they are the richest man in Shanxi. But I don't think so... Since he was studying in the Imperial College, he should be the son of Xiao Qian, the fourth son of the Xiao family. In their generation, only Xiao Qian will become an official... Unexpectedly, the Xiao family actually had such a glorious and bright child..."

No wonder that guy has a straight waist, it turns out that money is at work!

However, it is rare among the younger generation to be praised by Chen Zhen.

Chen Muqing thought of the inscription in the book "The Analects of Confucius".

In this way, Xiao Sa's biological father must be a businessman. For the sake of his son's future, he continued to live under the name of the fourth uncle who had already become an official. Otherwise, how could he be a candidate?
