Chapter 285

The next day, the Xiao couple had just gotten up and the big house came over.

"Sister... please leave me here for two days!" he lowered his head and murmured, "I, I'll go back like this..."

"I understand." Chen Muqing looked at Dashe's cramped look and couldn't help but smile, "I will tell the master, you can stay here for two days and relax. After you go back, prepare for the exam!"

Dashe nodded repeatedly, with a look of gratitude.

"When will I leave and return to Taicang?" Xiao Sa's eyes were filled with a strong smile when he saw his uncle's appearance, "I'll have someone escort you back then!"

The Shen family’s ancestor borrowed the exam in Taicang, and Dashe wanted to take the children’s exam, so he needed to return to the ancestor borrowed the exam.

"I don't know." Dashe's face turned slightly red, "The master didn't tell me."

"I'll send someone back to ask later," Chen Muqing couldn't help but sigh when he saw his timid look, "You know the specific time, so you'd better prepare early."

Dashe nodded.

"Then you go and have a good night's sleep!" Xiao Sa smiled, "I'm a drunk person and know how powerful it is."

Dashe looked at his sister timidly, and when he saw Chen Muqing smiling, he breathed a sigh of relief and bowed to the two of them.

"He is too timid." Looking at Dashe's back, Xiao Sa couldn't help but worry, "I'm as old as him, I've been following the second master for a long time. Otherwise, tell the master, this will not work. You don't know, when I was having dinner yesterday, Lord Wang knew that he was going to take the children's examination, so he took the initiative to write a letter to Jiangsu Xuezheng, but Dashe talked about the avoidance system. Lord Wang blushed on the spot... Mu Qing, he is young now, and if he has such a temper when he gets older, he is afraid he will suffer. I don't know how to mention this matter, you should still worry about it."

Chen Muqing didn't expect that Dashe would smear Wang Qing's kindness in front of everyone... He couldn't speak for a long time.

Both of them are more good at dealing with interpersonal relationships, and of course they know more about how unpleasant such a "length" is.

Seeing that his wife was helpless, Xiao Sa couldn't help but step forward and hug her shoulders: "You don't have to worry too much, I'll look at you. If you don't look at the monks and Buddha's faces, you will give you some face."

Chen Muqing nodded helplessly: "You can't always do this. You have to talk to the master about this!"

The couple talked for a while, and seeing it was getting late, Xiao Sa should go to court, so he stopped talking. Xiao Sa went to see the sleeping child, and Chen Muqing sent him out.

We dressed the children, greeted the fourth wife, served the fourth wife for breakfast, and ordered Yinliang to check the Eleventh Master's recent whereabouts and handle housework. Before we knew it, it was noon and it was time to have lunch.

Chen Muqing went to the fourth wife's place. As soon as the children were settled, a servant next to the fourth wife ran in: "Madam, madam, master is here."

Calculate the day, it should be this time!

The fourth wife was full of surprise and hurriedly got up and was supported by Huang and greeted her.

Chen Muqing also took care of two children and followed Eleventh Master to the second door.

Compared to the first time we met, the fourth master has become a little fatter and the authority between his eyebrows has become stronger.

Seeing Chen Muqing and his two children, he showed a kind smile, bent down to talk to Yueying, Ziyang, and until the fourth wife tactfully urged him to enter the house, he led the children to the main house, left and right.

The fourth wife served the fourth master to wash, Huang ordered the maids to serve tea and prepare meals, while Chen Muqing went to settle the fourth master's entourage and box cage.

After the Fourth Master had dinner, Dashe came to treat the Fourth Master to the Fourth Master. Two hours had passed.

"Looking at the sky, Xiaoqi should have gone to the yamen, right?" The fourth master held the Longjing of West Lake brewed by Huang's own hands and asked Chen Muqing with a smile.

"Yes!" Chen Muqing responded respectfully, "I have sent someone to guard Xihuamen. My husband told him that you are here after the yamen - so as not to delay social engagements."

The fourth master nodded slightly, but said, "The country and the country are the most important, so there is no need to worry about it for a while." As he said that, he asked the Eleventh Master again: "What books have you read during this period? The homework I assigned to you last time can be completed."

The Eleventh Master said respectfully: "I am reading the "Annotations of the Four Books" recently. All the homework you assigned to me last time has been completed."

A trace of surprise flashed in the fourth master's eyes and said with a smile: "All the homework is completed, bring it to me and take a look!"

Master Eleventh responded and took a thick stack of paper in.

The fourth master looked through page by page, with a satisfied expression on his face.

The fourth wife looked at it with joy on her face.

Looking at Huang again, he looked dull.

Chen Muqing was slightly surprised.

The Fourth Master had already asked Eleventh Master's "Annotations of the Four Books". Chen Muqing suppressed his curiosity and stood quietly aside to listen to the Q&A and the Eleventh Master's Q&A.

After finally finishing the fourth master's question, Chen Muqing couldn't help but sigh in his heart: The Eleventh Master's level is probably a little worse than hers.

The fourth master and the fourth wife may have felt it. They looked at each other without saying a word. After a while, they said, "You have done a good job during this period. Remember to continue working like this in the future." There was a little tiredness in your tone.

Master Eleven showed a relaxed expression and responded with a smile.

The fourth wife shook her head gently and said, "Master has worked hard all the way. You can go down. It's enough to have me here to serve you."

Everyone should be "yes", and gave their respects, and walked out of the main house one after another.

Chen Muqing thought of Dashe and his two children sitting on the little stele next to him when the Fourth Master asked the Eleventh Master, motionless. He knew that they were uncomfortable, so he explained to Huang a few words and took them back to the house.

She walked not far away and heard a proud voice from behind her: "How is it? Dad checked my homework and said that I'm good at studying! You will have more trouble in the future."

Chen Muqing couldn't help looking back and saw Huang's face flushed and standing there with a grievance.

I guess why the couple had a dispute...

She smiled and shook her head, and took the children back to the house.

Dashe said, "That Eleventh Master, who did his homework so well, how could he not look smooth when talking about the "Annotations of the Four Books"?"

Chen Muqing took the opportunity to educate him: "This is someone else's business, and you can keep it in your heart. Don't say it out loud. People need face, don't step on other people's pain."

"Oh!" Dashe responded in confusion, and went back to the house with his sister, and went to play with Yueying and Ziyang.

Chen Muqing looked at his simple face and couldn't help but shake his head gently.

Until dusk, Xiao Sa did not come back. Chen Muqing was very surprised and was about to send someone to ask, Yin Liang was back.

"Grandma, I've found it out." He whispered, "The Eleventh Master has been with the Seventh Master of the Liu'anhou family who lives in Fangdong Liu'anhou's family and Prince Zheng. The one who wants to see him is the Seventh Master of the Liu'anhou family."

Chen Muqing couldn't help but smile bitterly.

These two are famous playboys in Kyoto. Although they did not do anything to commit crimes, they would eat, drink, go for food, drink, and gambling. Anyone who is a little serious will avoid it. What else can Eleventh Master get along with these two people?

Chen Muqing pondered and said, "Do you know why you are looking for me?"

Yin Liang thought for a moment and said, "I heard from a friend of Baihualou that the Prince of Zheng once bragged after being drunk and said that he would soon do Hyogo business with the Xiao family... You see, would he instigate Eleventh Master to do business with the Ministry of War in the name of the Xiao family!"

"If you hear the facts, I'm afraid you're going to have this idea." Chen Muqing said slowly, "I know this, you go down!"

Yinliang retreated, and Chen Muqing sat in the room for a while, until he heard Zao Xiu call her: "...The Fourth Lady ordered dinner." Then he got up and went to the main house.

*******

When Xiao Sa came back, everyone had already had supper.

After saluting the fourth master, he hurriedly explained: "The emperor left his words before leaving Xihuamen. I heard that your old man was here, so I rushed back."

"Have you not eaten yet!" The fourth master was very kind to Xiao Sa, "You are tired for a day, and I won't leave for a while. You can go down to eat with your wife and rest! If you have anything to say, I'll say it tomorrow."

Xiao Sa responded to "yes", and then greeted the fourth wife and the Eleventh Master for a while before retreating with Shen Muqing.

When he returned to the house, Chen Muqing asked the maid to arrange food, and Xiao Sa pulled Chen Muqing to eat something with him.

"I'm going to the master's place, and Ren Xiang promised to set off with Pang Debao tomorrow morning."

"Cheng Fan?" Chen Muqing was very unfamiliar with this place name, and even more strangely, he lied to the Fourth Master.

Xiao Sa sighed softly: "In Guizhou, the person we found in Chengfan, Guizhou."

Chen Muqing felt sour when he heard this, he looked at Xiao Sa and couldn't speak.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Sa saw that she had many worries. He hurriedly shook her hand with a smile, "Although there is a hardship, at least I have my life to stay. I heard Pang Debao's tone, I should have become a relative. Then we will help them more..."

His comfort did not make Chen Muqing smile, but looked at Xiao Sa with a faint look and said softly: "You have spent a lot of effort?"

Xiao Sa was slightly stunned, then angrily: "What are we? If it weren't for me, how could Dai Gui help such a big favor?"

Chen Muqing couldn't help but laugh and scooped him a bowl of wild pigeon soup: "Yes, yes, yes. I was wrong, thanks to our Xiao Sa." He coaxed him like coaxing a child.

Xiao Sa was very comfortable when she heard this, and her eyebrows were all smiling.

Chen Muqing looked at him like a child and thought that he was now ranked third in the third grade, and couldn't help but laugh even more happily.

After Xiao Sa finished his meal, Chen Muqing told him the results of Yin Liang's investigation: "...I think this is not a big deal. Kyoto is no better than other places. The idle gangs in other places are just as powerful as they are a great descendant of officials. Kyoto has many princes and nobles. One is not good, but if something happens, it is small. Maybe even offends a group of people."

Xiao Sa thought for a while and said, "I really want you to be right. It's not okay to stay in Beijing... It's even more inappropriate to go back to Shandong. It seems that I have to think of a way..."
