After a day and night of pain, Shi Jingshu gave birth to a boy of five or eight taels on July 2. Chen Zhen named the child "Brother Tai" and hoped that he would be safe and safe.

Ren Xiang held the child's eyes slightly wet.

The eldest wife and Shen Muqing, who had been with him for a day and a night, were also relieved and called his experienced mother to help Shi Jingshu prepare the things to wash three. After each family reported the good news, Chen Muqing helped the eldest wife back to Tingyuxuan.

Even so, the eldest lady did not forget Yueying's incident and ordered Yuzhan to invite Master Chang.

"You'd better take a break first!" Chen Muqing served the eldest lady on the kang, "It's not too late to talk about this tomorrow."

"Let's finish the day!" The eldest lady smiled, "If you decide this, you and I will feel at ease."

Chang Hui came and knew why the eldest wife was looking for him. She looked very embarrassed.

"When I saw that everyone was busy, I brought Yueying to Liu Niang, but Liu Niang didn't make a sound. I saw that there was a chance."

Chen Muqing was wary of Liu Niang: "Master Chang, let's change people!"

"I'm not going to let the eldest girl go to the world." Chang Hui's eyes were a little sad, "I just wanted the eldest girl to pass on this martial arts. Of course, the fewer people know the situation, the better. Liu Niang couldn't be more suitable."

Chen Muqing lowered his head.

The eldest lady glanced at Chen Muqing, suddenly took out a veil to wipe the corners of her eyes, and choked and said, "Master Chang, we admire your talent for giving your child to you..."

When Chang Hui saw this, she was at a loss: "Big Madam, Big Madam, don't worry. I'll ask Liu Niang today. If she doesn't want to, I will find a way to find a senior sister from her fellow school to help!"

The eldest wife looked at Chang Hui with hope: "Master Chang, our family Yueying will be entrusted to you."

Ginger is still so spicy!

Chen Muqing couldn't help but feel ashamed. He wrote to Xiao Sa, telling him about his family's concerns about Yueying.

Xiao Sa replied quickly and comforted her not to worry. Chang Hui is not the kind of person who doesn't know the importance of it. He is just a long-lasting love. Otherwise, the eldest wife would be able to touch him even if she burst into tears.

Chen Muqing felt that Xiao Sa's words made sense, so he felt relieved and prepared the Mid-Autumn Festival bodhisattva while accompanying Shi Jingshu for confinement.

Xiao Yueying and Ziyang were both very interested in the soft little baby in his aunt's arms, especially Xiao Yueying, who often touched his hair, which scared Muqing to sweat.

Just two days ago, Yueying had already done "marrow cleaning and bone cleaning". She did not have any side effects such as Chang Hui said, "I feel tired and my body sore and swollen." She was lighter and more agile than before. Chang Hui was so happy that she could do her second "marrow cleaning and bone cleaning" in three months. She gave Yingfen a long list to prepare the medicinal materials.

On the day of Xiao Yueying's birthday, Chen Muqing changed Yueying's new clothes early in the morning, and then hugged Ziyang to pay homage to Chen Zhen. Chen Jin gave Xiao Yueying a pair of mutton fat jade Ruyi, and the Dashe painted a birthday star painting for Xiao Yueying. Then he went to pay homage to the eldest wife, and the eldest wife gave another pair of gem bracelets. Shi Jingshu sent two small pearl bead flowers to send. Chang Hui gave Yueying a small peach wood sword, and Liu Niang was also invited to give Yueying a set of four ordinary study treasures. Everyone was happily eating birthday noodles, and Wei sent someone to send a birthday gift - a red gold tassel collar inlaid with rubies, emeralds, corals, beeswax and other gems. It was colorful and looked very expensive.

"This is very similar to the collar that Yunniang gave to Yueying." The eldest lady held it in her hand and played with it. A little maid came in and reported, "Miss Qingyuan Jiu sent someone to pay tribute to the eldest girl."

"She is intent!" The eldest lady smiled slightly and let someone come in.

The person who came was Zhou Wang, and everyone was familiar with each other. She asked An and asked him. She was ordered by Xiao Yunniang to give Yueying a birthday gift.

Four sets of brocade gold clothes all over the ground, a pair of ruby ​​earrings, and a pair of cat's eye earrings. They also brought twelve pairs of men's shoes and a gold-wire crepe hat for Ziyang.

Chen Muqing asked the Zhou Wang family to thank Yunniang on his behalf and asked Yingfen to take her to eat birthday noodles.

At night, Aunt Chen, who was ill, gave two sets of real-life gauze dresses to Yueying as birthday gifts.

Chen Muqing couldn't help but sigh--Aunt Chen had a big face at least.

In the evening, she wrote to Xiao Sa: "...The emperor is very patient with the old ministers who have left the emperor. Now that he has left his concern, there must be changes in the temple. Foreign ministers are not allowed to make friends with internal ministers. If you have any questions, write a letter to ask the master for your good advice." After thinking about it, he wrote, "It's scheduled to move on August 20th. Do you think we want to hold a housewarming banquet? If so, who are you good to invite?"

According to Chen Muqing's intention, there is naturally no need to worry about this. But Xiao Sa is away, so he can only count on her to make friends. Holding a housewarming banquet is also a social means of showing goodwill to others.

A few days after the letter was sent away, the emperor came to see Chen Zhen. Unlike the majesty of the ceremonial service that time, he came here in a simple manner this time with a light carriage. Only Gu Dabao and other small eunuchs were served by him.

Chen Muqing guessed the emperor's purpose in the inner court, and a little eunuch called Chen Muqing out and gave her a box: "Eunuch Gu said that this is a gift to Mr. Xiao."

Uncle Xiao? The first year ceremony?

Chen Muqing was stunned for a moment before he realized.

Xiao Ziyang has a position, and although he is less than one year old, he is called "uncle".

"Eunuch Gu also said, "Madam Xiao doesn't have to return the gift." The little eunuch laughed, "and said that without Lord Xiao, there would be no him. It's just that he is serving the emperor and he has no choice but to be free of his birthday. Please don't be surprised by Mr. Xiao. As for Lord Xiao, please don't worry. If there is anything, he will send a young man to say hello to his wife."

There is too much content here. Especially the last sentence, in the ears of those who are interested, it is completely "making friends with foreign ministers", which is a taboo... Chen Muqing dared not say much. When he thought that Gu Dabao could send this little eunuch to pass the message, he was naturally his confidant, so he hurriedly bowed to the little eunuch: "I am a clumsy person, I don't know what my father-in-law calls me?"

The little eunuch was slightly stunned and said embarrassedly: "I call you a small table, Mrs. Xiao is so polite."

Chen Muqing took a purse from his sleeve and gave it to the small table: "Taughter-in-law and take it to drink a glass of water and wine."

The little table smiled and took the purse, then his face changed slightly.

The purse is light and has no weight on your hands.

He smiled reluctantly and stood up and said goodbye.

Chen Muqing hurriedly turned back to the inner courtyard: "Yingfen, hurry up, wrap another purse. For Eunuch Gu, it has another purpose."

Yingfan hurriedly took a thousand taels of silver notes and put them in his purse. Chen Muqing called Yin Liang: "For Eunuch Gu. You can wait for the doorman and act according to the opportunity. Give it as much as possible. If you can, don't give it, don't force it."

Since someone was sent to pass her message, it would be inconvenient to leave, but when the person came, he could not go back empty-handed.

After the arrangement was made, she returned to the inner courtyard and opened the box.

Inside is a pair of Pixiu paperweight made of jade.

Chen Muqing was stunned.

The Pixiu is about five inches long and three inches high, and is crystal clear. At first glance, it is carved from a precious piece of ice jade. She has never seen such a Pixiu before.

Too expensive!

If you have nothing to do, you will either be traitor or steal.

Chen Muqing couldn't help but frowned and went back to the house to write a letter to Xiao Sa.

Halfway through the letter, a servant came in and replied, "Auntie, Master, please go."

Chen Muqing put down his pen and said strangely: "Have the guest gone?"

The servant smiled and nodded: "Just as soon as the master saw him go, he asked the younger one to come and invite his aunt halfway."

Chen Muqing hurriedly followed the servant to Chen Zhen's study.

"You write a letter to Xiao Sa." Chen Zhen's expression was very calm and he could not see anything unusual. "Tell him that the situation in Kyoto has changed a few recently. Dai Shenghui will serve as the Minister of Rites and enter the Wenyuan Pavilion; Min Luan will serve as the Minister of Personnel and enter the Wenhua Hall; Yuan Yu will serve as the Minister of Justice and enter the Jinshen Hall, Zeng Ju will serve as the Minister of War and enter the Wuying Hall, Hu Xin and Liu Yu will remain unmoved. Shi Jin will replace Zeng Ju and serve as the Minister of War and General Xuantong."

Chen Muqing was stunned.

"It's my suggestion." Chen Zhen glanced at his daughter, "The emperor has adopted it. Bishan, Zeng Ju is his own person, and Dai Shenghui's reputation is growing, and he is the chief assistant, which can stabilize the hearts of the people. Yuan Yu was neutral at the beginning, and it was best to use him to appease those ministers who did not participate in this dispute. As for Hu Xin and Liu Yu, it is a matter of focusing on the country and the country, which can reflect the emperor's broad mind."

Chen Muqing took his father's arm: "Then what you mean is..."

Chen Zhen's eyes showed satisfaction and lowered his voice: "Let Xiao Sa pay attention to Shi Jin."

Chen Muqing understood in a moment of thought.

There was Li Huan in the capital and Xiao Sa in Gansu. Only then did the emperor feel at ease using Shi Jin.

She nodded slightly and wrote a letter to Xiao Sa when she went back.

Considering the content of the letter, she asked Chang Hui to travel to Gansu: "... others dare not entrust them."

Chang Hui looked very happy: "You can go to Gansu to have fun!"

*******

In a few days, there were changes in the morning.

As Chen Zhen said that day, Dai Shenghui became the chief assistant, and Mr. Min, Zeng Ju and others became the cabinet ministers - the emperor completely adopted Chen Zhen's suggestions.

For a moment, Dai Jia was in the limelight.

At this time, Chen Muqing received a letter from Wei, asking her to go to Dai Mansion to enjoy the moon on August 15th.

She took the letter, not an invitation, but a letter, and went to Chen Zhen.

Chen Zhen sighed: "Is it because I am afraid!"

"I don't know whether to take it or not?" Chen Muqing had a good relationship with Wei, on the one hand, because Xiao Sa and Dai Gui had a friendship, and on the other hand, because she was sympathetic to Wei. But if it was harmful to the family's interests, she still had to consider it carefully, "I want to ask Eunuch Gu!"

Chen Zhen's eyes lit up.

"At least, when the emperor asks, someone will help explain!"

Chen Zhen nodded.

Chen Muqing sent Yin Liang to find the Ajiu mentioned by Gu Dabao, and he and Yingfen opened a warehouse and took a set of pastel tea sets from the Eight Immortal Sea as a gift to Wei.
