Chapter 289: A Sigh

Speaking of this, Chunyi burst into tears: "After a while, I saw them lifting a tightly tied camphor wood box from the cabin and throwing it into the river..."

"You mean..." Although Chen Muqing had a vague premonition when he heard that he had not found Chen Yuerong and only found Chunyi, she couldn't help but turn a blank face and asked unwillingly.

Chunyi nodded with tears in her face: "I still remember that when we passed by the Hangzhou Wharf, it was afternoon and afternoon, and it was midnight... The boat was not moving fast, and I don't know if we were looking for it now, but still finding it."

Unexpectedly, Chen Yuerong died like this...

She felt bitter in her heart and didn't say anything for a while.

Yingfen naturally knew that Chen Muqing felt uncomfortable and asked Chunyi in a low voice: "Then you later..."

"I dare not stay on the boat." Chunyi cried, "When the two men went to help throw the box, the men left on the strings of the boat looked over there. Although they couldn't swim, they still took this opportunity to jump off the boat... When I woke up again, I was washed to a river beach. I didn't dare to show up. At night, I went to the village to steal some food, so I went north. When I walked to Zhenjiang, I was caught by a refugee," she said that she couldn't help but lowered her head, "I was sold to a family named Liu in Henan as a maid. A few days later, I heard that the emperor became the emperor and the master also became unlucky... Later, the family sold me to Huguang... and then to Guizhou..."

Chen Muqing was extremely shocked: "Then you..."

Chunyi's mouth slightly raised: "Although life is hard, my husband is an honest person and treats me very well."

It can be seen that she is very satisfied with her marriage life.

"Do you want to come back..." Chen Muqing asked tentatively.

Chunyi was stunned, and then showed a surprise expression, but the expression did not last long. Her eyes dimmed again. After pondering for a long time, she whispered: "Thank you for your kindness! But my family's mouth can't do anything except farming... I'm afraid it's a burden." She seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and she relaxed, and there was a smile between her eyebrows and eyes, "I'll see my grandma again if I have the chance in the future."

Chen Muqing was surprised by this answer, but when he thought about it, he felt that he could understand it - although Guizhou is hard, it is at least his own home, and there is no need to look at people's eyes and live.

She nodded: "Then you can rest here for a few days and meet your former sisters. In a few days I will ask someone to send you back to Guizhou."

The spring spirit left with great gratitude.

Chen Muqing ordered Yingfen: "I reward her with 500 taels of silver - if she fails in a year, she can also receive subsidies."

When Xiao Sa returned home, Pang Debao had been waiting aside and told him about Ren Xiang bringing Chunyi back. Xiao Sa couldn't help but frown and raised Chen Muqing's emotions: "Why don't you wait for me to come back? How about grandma now?"

"Mr. Ren knew about Miss Chen and was unwilling all the way. He wanted to hand over the person to grandma all at once. Grandma urged her again. I just wanted to stop you from coming back." Pang Debao couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Grandma was unhappy, so she left Yingfen to speak in the room."

Xiao Sa thought about it and went to Chen Muqing.

The maids were all standing under the eaves. Seeing Xiao Sa saluting one after another, Xiao Sa kept walking. Pang Debao hurriedly lifted the curtain in front of him. He lowered his head slightly and entered the house.

Yingfen heard the movement and had already come over there, and hurriedly whispered: "Master, grandma is in a bad mood."

Xiao Sa nodded and entered the second room to the east.

Chen Muqing leaned on the pillow next to the window with a look of despair. When he saw Xiao Sa come in, he sat up straight: "I've been back so early."

Xiao Sa sat down beside the bed and held Chen Muqing's hand: "It's better than falling into a kiln... This is also everyone's life, so don't be too sad."

Chen Muqing nodded: "I know. Actually, I was prepared in my heart..."

The couple talked in a low voice and knew what they wanted. Chen Muqing was feeling much better. Xiao Sa smiled and brushed his wife's temples, and tied the black hair that fell on her cheeks behind her ears: "The day after tomorrow is Mu's holiday, I will accompany you to your parents' home. First, I will tell the master about this, see if I want to report a letter to Taicang's house, and second, I will go and relax."

This matter must be told to Chen Zhen.

The thought flashed, but Chen Muqing remembered another thing: "By the way, that person who pretended to be Dai Gui..."

"Now that there is spring, we naturally have to find a way to find people." A terrifying sharpness flashed in Xiao Sa's eyes, "You can't be bullied for nothing."

Chen Muqing sighed deeply.

"Speaking of this, although I often meet Mr. Dai in the court after returning to Kyoto, I have not visited the mansion in person." Seeing that his wife was in a bad mood, Xiao Sa smiled and changed the topic, "Or what do you think we will go to the Dai family early the morning after tomorrow and then go to the master for lunch?"

"You have a lot of rest now!" Chen Muqing couldn't help but smile, "It would be great if it was a two-day break in a week!"

"What's the week off?" Xiao Sa said strangely, "Is there any such statement?"

I missed my mouth!

Chen Muqing pursed his lips and smiled: "This is another kind of calendar. People nowadays use it less."

Xiao Sa always felt that Chen Muqing was knowledgeable and no longer asked questions. The two talked and laughed for a while. The children came in to pay their respects to their parents. Xiao Sa teased the young Ziyang, and Yueying sat quietly beside her mother. Chen Muqing smiled and hugged Yueying in her arms.

*******

When Xiao Samu was off, the whole family got up early and went to Dai Mansion first.

Dai Ge Lao is over 60 years old, has a tall figure, rosy skin, and no frost on his face. He looks like a person in his forties.

When he saw Xiao and his wife visit him, he was very happy and asked Wei to take Chen Muqing and the children to the flower hall, and he and Xiao Sa went to the study.

Wei was naturally very happy and hurriedly called Brother Bao to pay homage to Shen Muqing.

Brother Bao asked Yueying standing beside him like a little adult: "Are you better?"

Yueying nodded coldly: "It's been long since."

Brother Bao looked a little disgusted: "Then, do you want to see the thrush I raised?"

"I don't want to!" Yueying frowned almost invisibly, "I don't like birds, it's dirty."

Brother Bao opened his eyes wide: "Dirty, dirty, dead?"

"Yes!" Yueying said uneasy, "It poops everywhere and almost landed on my head."

Brother Bao was stunned for a long time and said, "Are you talking about pigeons? Only pigeons do this."

"No matter whether it is a pigeon or a thrush, it is a bird, right?"

Brother Bao couldn't help but lower his head and murmured: "My thrush doesn't poop, and Daqing is serving me!"

"Oh, I don't like birds anyway."

"Then, what do you like? Is it good to keep a cat?" Brother Bao looked at Yueying with his eyes, "You must have never seen a cat with white all over his body..."

"Isn't it just a Pose cat?" Yueying said, "the eyes are green."

Brother Bao was discouraged, but after a moment he became happy: "Or, keep a dog, small, and when you grow up, you can put it in your sleeve..."

"What does that mean?" Yueying's voice was crisp, "It doesn't care about the house or bite people. When it grows up, it will still be placed in its sleeves, which is useless."

Brother Bao looked at Yueying with helpless expression on his face, and he wanted to speak but stopped.

The adults couldn't help laughing as they heard the words of children.

"Yueying, Brother Bao saw that you were a guest and wanted to entertain you as a landlord." Chen Muqing scolded his daughter and gave him face to Brother Bao, "You just talk to others well, why do you say this?"

"Don't scold her, don't scold her." Wei hurriedly stopped her, "That's better. Our brother Bao can't say a few words in ten days and half a month. When Yueying comes, he becomes a mess. I like it very much."

Brother Bao's face turned slightly red when he heard this, but Yueying pouted.

It made everyone laugh again.

Wei's eyes turned slightly and smiled, "We are all talking here, so how can the children be restrained? Let them go out to play? This time it's at home, nothing will happen."

Something happened is also an accident!

Chen Muqing nodded naturally, ordered Yueying and Ziyang to the people around him, and asked the Dai family to take them to the back garden.

"Look at my sister's complexion has improved a lot," Chen Muqing looked at Wei with a smile.

Wei smiled with his lips pursed, and his eyes flashed with a few mysterious joy.

"Ah!" Chen Muqing smiled, "It can be seen that all the troubles you had been solved."

Wei nodded, moved to Chen Muqing and sat down, and whispered: "Sister, I did what you said... He said, reassure me, just raise Brother Bao well. He knew it."

These few words made Wei happy...the requirements were really low! However, it was better for Dai Gui to express this attitude than to say nothing.

"Congratulations to sister!" Chen Muqing covered her sleeves and smiled.

Wei's face looked slightly and said, "If our brother Bao can settle down, please give Yueying my daughter-in-law!"

Why is it a cliché again?

Chen Muqing smiled and said, "You don't know what kind of personality our family is... Let's talk about it when the child is older, so that we adults will like it and the child will become an enemy."

"I know, I know." Wei looked in a very good mood and smiled, "But you can't let the Yueying bend on us..."

To be rushing is a priority!

Chen Muqing smiled embarrassedly, but when she thought that Yueying had come to ask for marriage at such a young age, her self-esteem quickly expanded and she was in a very good mood. Despite this, she still stammered and broke the topic.

Wei can understand Chen Muqing's love for his children - if Brother Bao grows up and fails to grow up, the Xiao family will definitely not agree to this marriage.

She didn't say it out loud, and laughed at Shen Muqing.

The two of them talked for a long time, and as it was almost noon, a maid came in and reported, "Madam, Lord Xiao is leaving."

"Why don't you stay here for lunch?" Wei was stunned.

Chen Muqing hurriedly said, "It's rare that he will have a day off all year round, and he will go back to his parents' home to have a look."

Wei suddenly realized and said, "Young Master of the Shen family will take the children's examination this year? Calculate the day, and it's time to release the rankings. Then I won't keep you!" As he said that, someone asked Yueying and Ziyang to come.

Chen Muqing responded wrongly.

When the children came back, they invited Wei, and Wei took Bao Ge to take them to Daige Lao's office.

"Speaking of this, Lord Xiao met our Brother Bao two years ago... Brother Bao should go and invite Lord Xiao to have an peace."

Chen Muqing couldn't help but caress his forehead.

What does Wei mean...
