Chapter 282 A Wish
Chen Muqing thought of Xiao Sa in the bed last night - she looked serious, but she was very unruly in her bones.
The fourth wife was almost staring at her now. She didn't want to have any gossip in this regard... This is too lethal for women.
"What's the matter?" He couldn't help but feel a little alert in his tone, "I won't be with you anymore!"
Xiao Sa's eyebrows raised slightly when she heard this, and soon calmed down: "Mu Qing, why is Yueying very much to me..." He thought for a while, "I look very disgusted with me!"
Yueying used to like Xiao Sa very much. Although she thought that the father and daughter had not met for two years, Chen Muqing did not expect her to run away. When Xiao Sa was not at home, her daughter never mentioned him. Chen Muqing felt that Yueying's behavior was very worried and rude. She educated the child but didn't like to let go. So she chased her. As a result, Yueying told her: "Brother Bao's father is also a general and cannot go home, but Brother Bao's father also gave ginseng and fur coats to his aunt, and gave ponies to Brother Bao..."
Chen Muqing realized that the little girl had tasted it, and hurriedly explained with a smile: "Your father also gave us melons..."
"That's for everyone." Yueying said angrily, "But Xiaoma gave it to Brother Bao!"
"Silly child!" Chen Muqing smiled and touched his daughter's head. "Brother Bao's father gave birth to pony, ginseng and fur coats. The place where your father worked was poor, there were only melons..." She reported the name of the inn from Gansu to Kyoto, and finally said, "Look, how long it will take... Unlike Brother Bao's father, he went to Kyoto after leaving Liaodong." She had to wrongly accuse Dai Gui.
Yueying stopped talking, and Xiao Sa came over. Chen Muqing asked her to call Xiao Sa, and she shouted obediently.
Xiao Sa was stunned when he heard this, and after a while, he said, "I am indeed not as careful as Dai Gui!"
"Fortunately, you are not as careful as Dai Gui!" Chen Muqing looked at him and smiled, "Dai Gui is so particular, so he took a concubine in Liaodong..."
Xiao Sa laughed: "You women are just big-headed eyes!"
When Chen Muqing heard something in this, he said slightly: "What does it mean?"
Xiao Sa smiled and patted the edge of the bed: "Come here!"
Chen Muqing sat over.
"Daigui's current situation is very delicate." Xiao Sa's smile gradually faded, "My father and wife, and their only son are in Kyoto. To put it nicely, they are saved from the pain of the border. To put it bluntly, they are just hostages. If he no longer takes a few concubines and gives birth to a few sons, Brother Bao, as his only son, the life of the Dai family will be even more difficult."
Chen Muqing was stunned when he heard this, but he also understood what he meant. He couldn't help but be interested: "Wealth is really a dangerous thing... It's better not to be aware of it!"
"I'm just about to discuss your matter." Xiao Sa's expression was serious, "There will be a grand dynasty meeting tomorrow. At that time, the emperor will announce some personnel appointments and removals... Mu Qing, I want to use the final decision to hand in the sign early this morning and request to be transferred back to Kyoto."
Chen Muqing looked at Xiao Sa in surprise.
"Are you afraid that the emperor will hide his bows with all the birds and beasts?"
"It's not all." Xiao Sa sighed, "The emperor is generous and tolerant. Even if the emperor can't tolerate me, don't forget that there is a Daigui in the east. We stand in this way, as long as he is in one day, the emperor will not be able to touch me. As long as I am in one day, the emperor will not be able to touch Daigui..."
"Then isn't it very dangerous for you to leave?"
Xiao Sa smiled and said, "Daigui also has Daigui's plans. Don't worry about him. But we really confront each other like this. I'm afraid that returning to Beijing will only be a thought!"
Chen Muqing admitted this.
"Do you still remember why you followed me to Shanghai to settle down?" Xiao Sa suddenly changed the subject.
"Of course I want to be with you!" Chen Muqing said very simply.
"I'm the same." Xiao Sa held Chen Muqing's hand, "I want to be with you."
Chen Muqing understood a little.
"I have captured Mo Guo this time, and the northwest can be peaceful for at least ten years." Xiao Sa continued, "I have done what I should do, and I have proved my ability. Now, I just want to go home and spend time with you and with my children."
"Xiao Sa!" Chen Muqing burst into tears and couldn't speak in his eyes, and he would nod incessantly.
"Then you agreed!" Xiao Sa smiled, "but without real power, the income will be much smaller."
"Who cares about yours?" Chen Muqing couldn't help laughing as he heard it, "You took a lot of money back when you have real power. We have shops, land, and houses to save some, and we can't even get hungry."
"Okay!" Xiao Sa sat up straight, "With you saying this, I'll hand over the sign now." As he said that, he shouted Jin Liang to change his clothes.
"You are confused." Chen Muqing said coquettishly, "I'm still in the house!"
"I'm used to shouting in the northwest." Xiao Sa felt a little embarrassed, "I'm just right!"
Chen Muqing remembered something: "By the way, why didn't you see Manager Pang? Wasn't he with you?"
"Oh!" Xiao Sa said vaguely, "I will send him to do something. Once the matter is done, I will come back."
Seeing that he was unwilling to say anything, Chen Muqing did not ask questions, and personally served Xiao Sa and had breakfast together.
Xiao Sa discussed Chen Muqing: "...You can send someone to talk to the master later, so that he will not be worried about it. We will go to invite my mother to An and I will go into the palace. When I come back, we will go to visit the master together."
Chen Muqing responded with a smile and asked the maids and mothers to bring the two children over. The two children invited her to her father. Xiao Sa thought of Yueying's dissatisfaction with him, so she specially hugged Yueying and the four of her family went to the fourth wife's place.
Eleventh Master and Huang arrived early. Everyone met and many of them had to exchange courtesy.
The fourth wife kept Xiao Sa talking. Xiao Sa used the excuse to go to the palace to see the emperor, and after a few greetings with her, she left the door.
Chen Muqing asked the maid to take Yueying and Ziyang to their respective houses, and then prepared to go to the accounting room next to the kitchen to handle some housework.
The Eleventh Master pulled Chen Muqing and said, "... The Seventh Brother has made such a great contribution. The emperor should have a title, right?"
Chen Muqing looked very virtuous and kind: "I am a wife, and my husband didn't say anything, so I can't ask."
The Eleventh Master showed disappointment on his face.
"No matter how great the achievements you make, it is also earned by your brother with his blood and sweat." The fourth wife was very dissatisfied when she saw her son's appearance, "What do you have to do with you?"
Master Eleven smiled embarrassedly and said, "I can brag too if someone mentions it!"
"I just know these evil ways." The fourth wife said coldly, "Your father will come in two days, and you can study hard these days so as not to be confused when the master tests you."
Eleventh Master suddenly fell like an eggplant made from frost and responded to "Yes".
As he was talking, a little maid came in and replied, "Grandma, uncle is here!"
Dashe has come? It has only been here once since she moved to the Fourth Zhiyuan...
Chen Muqing hurriedly said, "Please, please!"
The little maid responded and took the big house after a while.
The fair and gentle house was wearing a sky-blue satin robe. At a young age, he was already full of books.
He respectfully invited the fourth wife and asked her. The fourth wife Xiao Yingying said a few polite words to him and ordered Chen Muqing to say, "Since it's my uncle who is here, please talk with him!"
Chen Muqing agreed, and gave a gift to Dashe and retreated.
"Why are you here early in the morning?" Chen Muqing couldn't help asking him on the way back to his room.
Excitement flashed in Dashe's eyes: "Is my brother-in-law at home? I want to meet my brother-in-law!"
Chen Muqing thought of the envy of Dashe when she talked about her classmates' pens and joining the army that day, she couldn't help but smile and said, "You wouldn't think of your brother-in-law being a soldier, right? The master knew, and he didn't break your brother-in-law's leg."
Dashe smiled shyly: "No, no. I just want to come to see my brother-in-law and listen to him talk about the northwest!"
"Your brother-in-law went into the palace to meet the emperor." Chen Muqing smiled, "I sent someone to report the message to the master early in the morning. Don't you know?"
Dashe shook his head disappointedly: "I haven't met anyone who reported the news!"
"Your brother-in-law said that when you come back from the palace, you will go to see the master." Chen Muqing thought that the big house has always been dull and it is rare to have such a young man's behavior. He hurriedly said, "Don't be anxious, just play with your sister, wait for your brother-in-law to come back - you study every day, just think it's a holiday."
Dashe nodded: "I haven't seen Yueying and Ziyang for a while, so I happened to take this opportunity to meet them."
"Okay." Chen Muqing smiled, "The two children often think about you."
*******
When Xiao Sa comes back, it’s already noon.
When he saw Dashe, he was also a little surprised. Thinking of Dashe's introverted nature, he couldn't help but say, "But what happened at home?"
"I'm here to see my brother-in-law." Dashe looked a little nervous, "Nothing happened at home."
Xiao Sa was still very surprised and wanted to ask something. Chen Muqing had already ordered the maids to serve the food: "...I don't know when you will come back, so I ate it first and didn't wait for you. But some of the food was left."
"No need." Xiao Sa smiled, "The emperor kept me for lunch. We should leave early to my father-in-law's place and delay it. It will be time to go to the yamen. If someone comes to visit me, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave!"
Chen Muqing knew why Xiao Sa went to see the emperor for the sake of his life, so he was naturally very concerned about this matter. Seeing that Xiao Sa had a smile in his eyes, he couldn't help but feel relieved.
Dashe also felt that going to his home was better: "Take Yueying and Ziyang with you too!"
"Okay!" Xiao Sa nodded, "We keep going to see the master."
The three adults and two children quit the fourth wife together and then went to the Petrochemical Bridge.
The followers had already gone to report, and Ren Xiang and his wife stood at the gate with their children. When they met, there was another lively event.
After finally entering the house, everyone sat down according to the main and secondary points. Chen Zhen asked about military affairs in the northwest.
Xiao Sa knew that his father-in-law was a famous and capable official in the past, so he naturally became very energetic and explained it to Shen Zhen one by one.
Chen Zhen listened, nodded constantly, interrupted Xiao Sa from time to time, and asked some questions.
