Chen Muqing looked at Huang's back and couldn't help but sigh.

Although I don’t know what the story is, it’s about the fourth wife after all, and I have an awkward position. Not to mention my current situation, it’s hard to ask too much about my relative’s sister-in-law.

She ordered Yingfen helplessly: "Let's go!"

Yingfen responded and helped Chen Muqing get into the car.

"Let's go to the Zeng family first, then to the Yuan family, and finally to Mr. Min's place." Chen Muqing ordered.

Yingfen was slightly stunned: "Didn't you go to Mr. Min's house first in previous years?"

"I have something to do, and I have to wait for Mr. Min to go to the yamen." Chen Muqing's expression was faint, "Where should I go to Mr. Min in the end!"

Yingfan responded quickly and turned around to instruct the woman who followed him.

I went out of the Zeng family and went to the Yuan family. When I arrived at Min Mansion, it was already time to take the lights.

Seeing the Xiao family's carriage, the gatekeeper of Min's mansion hurried in to report. Knowing that Chen Muqing was coming to send New Year's Day gifts, Mrs. Min personally welcomed her.

"It's such a cold day, I won't let the mothers say anything. I'm afraid I'll lack something like you for the New Year!" Mrs. Min said intimately.

"I'm just afraid that you'll lack this little thing for me." Chen Muqing smiled and took Mrs. Min's arm to go to the inner courtyard with Mrs. Min. "I've sent some croakers to Mr. Min this year."

Although Mrs. Min is nice to her, the two of them always seem to be separated by a layer of gauze, and there is less intimacy. But since Xiao Sa comes back, Mrs. Min's attitude towards her has been different, and she feels a bit of intimate... Chen Muqing guessed more or less about Mrs. Min's thoughts - first he was dissatisfied with the sending of Jinxiu from the Shen family, and later Xiao Sa's Shengjun Zhenglong, and the two families have this relationship, so they naturally have to get closer.

"It makes you worry." Mrs. Min smiled, "Mr. Min likes to eat this the most - he always says that he will dream of the croaker from his hometown in his dreams."

The two of them went to the second room of the main room intimately and sat down. Mrs. Min ordered the kitchen to add dishes: "You come here at this order, don't say you have eaten it."

"I can't hide anything from you." Chen Muqing smiled, "I want to touch Mr. Min!"

Mrs. Min was slightly stunned: "But what's wrong? Can you tell me?"

"Is there anything I can't tell you?" Chen Muqing smiled, "To put it, I want you to deal with this matter."

"Oh!" Mrs. Min became interested and sent the maid in the room.

Chen Muqing whispered: "My father-in-law's term in Shandong has expired, and he will return to Beijing to report his work in the beginning of next spring. Logically, he has been awarded the "excellent" every year, and it is no problem to be promoted to the first level. But now we have a husband at the forefront of the storm. If my father-in-law is promoted again... I am afraid he will be attracted by someone who is interested."

Mrs. Min showed an obvious look: "What do you mean is to get your father-in-law transferred to his original position?"

Chen Muqing nodded quickly: "It's enough to be a former position. As for transfer, his current place is not bad. When he goes to a wealthy place, he is afraid there will be disputes again."

Since his political achievements have been praised as "excellent" every year, he does not want to be promoted or transferred to a wealthy place, but only wants to succeed him in his original position... This is simply a small task for Mr. Min.

Mrs. Min thought, but there was a little teasing in her smile: "I'm afraid that Xiao Sa is too popular, right?"

Chen Muqing was shocked when he heard this, but his face did not show any signs, and he smiled and said, "What Master's wife means..."

Mrs. Min had a few understandings in her smile: "I sent your serious mother-in-law away, and the unjust mother-in-law lived with you. She not only had a filial reputation, but also had less restraint." As she said that, she blinked at Chen Muqing, with a few sarcasm in her eyes, "I'm right."

It seems that Mrs. Min now thinks she doesn't need to wink at others, so she says everything she shouldn't say bluntly.

Chen Muqing sighed in his heart, turned a blind eye to her ridicule, but said coquettishly: "You really can't hide anything from your master's wife's eyes!"

Mrs. Min smiled proudly: "Don't worry. With the friendship between our two families, let alone the original position, you can even get promoted to one or two levels, or be transferred to the prefecture of Jiangnan. Your family will do your best to help."

"Thank you, Master's wife!" Chen Muqing thanked Mrs. Min happily.

The maid and the old lady had already arranged the meal outside. The two sat down to have a warm meal. Mrs. Min also called Jinxiu to serve: "... She used to be someone by your side, so it is also necessary to come to treat you to peace!"

What causes you sow and what results you get.

Chen Muqing felt sad in his heart. He received Jinxiu's gift as if nothing had happened. After saying a few words on the scene, Jinxiu wrapped chopsticks in a veil and handed them to Chen Muqing to serve them to dinner.

She smiled and started eating quietly.

Halfway through the meal, Mr. Min came back. He heard that Chen Muqing had arrived, so he rushed to the place where they had dinner.

After paying a greeting and making the table noisy, Mr. Min looked at Chen Muqing with a smile, as if he suddenly discovered some unknown secret of Chen Muqing.

Mrs. Min watched from the side and couldn't help but cough gently.

Chen Muqing also saw that Min Xian was strange in his attitude, and he felt a secretly upset.

"Mu Qing, I just came back from the Ganqing Palace." Mr. Min smiled with a smile on his eyes and eyebrows. "Xiao Sa gathered troops in Gansu and sent troops from Sichuan to annihilate 90,000 yuan of Meng people, and captured Yuan Meng Khan's Mongguo alive. Mu Qing, Xiao Sa made an unparalleled contribution!"

Chen Muqing's ears were buzzing, and after a while, he understood what Mr. Min said.

Xiao Sa fought a big battle...

She couldn't help but murmured to herself: "There was nothing in his letter to me!"

Mr. Min laughed: "Mu Qing, this is a military secret matter, how could he tell you?"

"In this way, Xiao Sa is going to be promoted!" Mrs. Min said quietly, "Mu Qing, you have such a good attitude. I have found Xiao Sa!"

Mr. Min smiled and waved his hand, saying disapprovingly: "Did our Mu Qing marry Xiao Sa feel wronged? Thinking about it, if it weren't for Mr. Shen, how could Xiao Sa escape from Bahe..."

"There were only a few adults who helped that matter." Chen Muqing hurriedly said modestly, "If there weren't a few adults, how could he be today!"

"Hahaha," Mr. Min smiled, "We are a family, don't say these officials' words. I'm happy today, you are here and have a drink with me. I haven't been so proud for a long time. You don't know that as soon as Xiao Sa wins this battle, our situation in the temple has changed. Not to mention me, even the emperor is so happy. He keeps shouting that Xiao Sa is his blessing general..."

Mr. Min nagged, Mrs. Min had poured three glasses of Jinhua wine in person, one for Mr. Min, one for Chen Muqing, and one for himself: "Since this is such a big happy event, I really need to celebrate it well."

Everyone served the wine and drank it all in one go.

Then Mr. Min said, "Mu Qing, you come to my house at this time, what's wrong?"

Before Chen Muqing could speak, Mrs. Min had already said her purpose first: "...I also think Muqing's idea is good, so as not to set rules in front of her mother-in-law every day and be uncomfortable."

Mr. Min frowned and said softly: "You are an elder, how can you say such words!"

Mrs. Min's face was flushed with shame, and Chen Muqing hurriedly spoke to help Mrs. Min: "This is all secondary. The main thing is that my husband is too strong now..."

Mr. Min nodded slightly and said seriously: "I heard some rumors, but I don't know if it is true. It is said that Xiao Sa's biological father favors concubines and destroys his wife, so that Xiao Sa's biological mother has no place to stand, so she came to you... Is there such a thing?"

Chen Muqing couldn't help but be stunned.

I didn’t expect that a senior official like Mr. Min would find out so soon!

However, this is the Xiao family's family's family business after all. Xiao Zhao is Xiao Sa's biological father after all. His reputation has been damaged, and Xiao Sa's face is also unbearable...

She had to vaguely say, "It's not exactly the case. The main reason is that we were in Shanghai at that time. My husband's biological mother was worried and followed us in Shanghai for a few years. I felt from the bottom of my heart that she really wanted to stay by my side."

Mr. Min thoughtfully, he said in a deep voice: "It's better to let Xiao Qian keep his original position. The Shandong Provincial Governor is Wang Qing's cousin. With him to help take care of him, nothing big should happen."

"Thank you, Mr.!" Seeing that Mr. Min agreed, Chen Muqing couldn't help but look overjoyed.

With the goal achieved, Chen Muqing relaxed a lot. As Mr. Min started talking about the topic, at the end, due to Mr. Min's interest, he actually pulled Chen Muqing to the study to see his newly drawn fish and bird painting: "...How is it? It's not much worse than that Yuan Yu!" Chen Muqing made him smile.

When I got home, it was already midnight. If it weren't for the waist sign given by Mr. Min, I would have been stopped by the patrol guards.

What surprised Chen Muqing was that the fourth wife had not yet stopped and saw that she had come back, she immediately called her to ask: "...Why did she come back so late?"

"When I went to Mr. Min's house, I happened to meet Mr. Min who came down from the yamen, so I left me there for dinner and even drew a painting to give to me." Chen Muqing explained with a hurried smile.

The fourth wife looked a little unhappy: "If you encounter such a thing in the future, remember to bring a letter to someone to avoid being anxious."

Chen Muqing hurriedly apologized.

The fourth wife looked at her and stopped talking, and waved her hand for a while: "You go down and rest!"

Chen Muqing had already made arrangements for the family matters, and the fourth wife's mind was not within the scope of her concern. She smiled and bowed, returned to the house, and went to see the child.

"After you leave, the girl and the young master are very well-behaved." The magpie looked at Yueying and Ziyang sleeping side by side under the lamp and smiled, "The fourth wife didn't say anything cold. After dinner, she asked the girl and the young master to go back to the house. Seeing that you were not at home, the girl told the young master a story!"

Chen Muqing nodded with a smile: "That's good!"

"Grandma has been running for a day, so let's take a break soon!" Yingfen said with a smile.

Chen Muqing also felt a little tired: "You should take a break early, and I'll follow me for a day today."
