After leaving Dai's mansion, Xiao Sa sighed: "I didn't expect Brother Dai's son to be like a girl's house..." He looked very sorry, "Although he thought carefully, it's not a good thing to let the child grow up in the hands of a woman."

The father and daughter have surprisingly similar views on Brother Bao.

Chen Muqing couldn't help but cover his mouth and smiled: "The child is still young, it's still too early to draw such a conclusion now."

Xiao Sa still shook his head.

When they arrived at the Shen family, Baimu had already greeted him at the door. The group went to invite Chen Zhen first. Aunt Chen had already prepared the meal and opened two tables in the flower hall, one table of Chen Zhen, Xiao Sa and Ren Xiang, the other table of Chen Muqing, Shi Jingshu and Yueying, Zi Yang, and Brother Tai.

After dinner, everyone moved to the Dongji room in the main room to have tea.

"Come on, try this big red robe." Chen Zhen is old and likes to be lively. When he sees people in the room, he is in a very good mood. "It was sent by Yu Bin."

Xiao Sa sat down with a smile: "I heard that Yu Bin was promoted to Minister of Personnel?"

Chen Zhen smiled and nodded: "He did a good job in Fujian, and it happened that there were shortages of people in the Bishan Mountains, so he helped him say something."

In recent years, Mr. Min has used many people who Chen Zhen. In everyone's eyes, he is Chen Zhen's successor.

The two children refused to support themselves, and pulled Chen Zhen's sleeves from left to right: "Grandpa, grandpa, we also want to drink tea."

Chen Zhen laughed and touched the child's head: "You are still young and you can't drink this tea." He instructed Aunt Chen, "Give the 'coconut' sent by Huangzhen two days ago for the children to eat."

Unlike usual caution, Aunt Chen's eyebrows were full of confidence and took the hands of the two children: "Let's go and drink coconut water."

"What is coconut water?" Yueying looked at Aunt Chen curiously.

When Ziyang saw him, he followed his sister to look at Aunt Chen.

Aunt Chen smiled and said, "It's a very strange thing. You will know when you see it."

"You just follow your aunt!" Chen Muqing smiled and sent away the two children, "I'll tell you what it tastes like when I come back later!"

The two children should have "yes" and happily followed Aunt Chen.

After having tea after dinner, the men would talk about something together. When Shi Jingshu saw it, her eyes slightly turned, and she hugged Brother Tai and stood up: "I'll go and have a look, too."

Chen Muqing smiled and said, "Okay, my sister will help me see the two children so that Aunt Chen will not be able to control her."

Shi Jingshu was even more sure that Chen Muqing had something to discuss, and smiled and took the child out.

"Melt and clear, good tea." After Shi Jingshu left, Xiao Sa tasted a sip of tea and said to Chen Zhen with a smile, "You have helped Yu Bin so much, he shouldn't be stingy - bring me a few pounds home later."

Chen Zhen smiled: "Do you think this is wheat and rice, how many pounds are there? Yu Bin only gave me two pounds..."

Xiao Sa laughed: "Then give me a pound..."

Chen Zhen looked angry and funny: "I have heard that you are brave, and now you dare to covet my things."

Xiao Sa looked at Chen Zhen and smiled.

Chen Zhen couldn't help but shake his head: "Forget it, forget it. I'll let someone put a pound for you later and take it back."

"Thank you, lord!" Xiao Sa smiled very happily, as if he had obtained some rare treasure.

For some reason, Xiao Sa always acted like a childish rogue in front of Shen Zhen. Chen Zhen not only did not disgust, but also liked it very much... Maybe it was Xiao Sa's fearless attitude that touched Chen Zhen's heart that had experienced vicissitudes!

"By the way," Xiao Sa smiled, "Is there any news from Dashe? I'm counting the days, and there should be a letter."

Chen Zhen's expression was faint: "After all, I didn't embarrass Min Jiajia's studies, and I didn't embarrass his father-in-law."

Although it was a few mistakes, Chen Muqing was overjoyed: "I have passed the exam!"

Chen Zhen nodded slightly: "About the days, I should be back in two days."

"That's great!" Chen Muqing smiled, "When the Dashe comes back, we must celebrate well."

"What's there to celebrate?" Chen Zhen smiled, "If he could win the No. 1 pick at the age of 17, he could celebrate."

"Master, don't be so mean to me." Xiao Sa touched her head and smiled, looking honest, "Aren't I just taking the martial arts exam now?"

Chen Muqing couldn't help but talk.

When did Xiao Sa get involved with the honesty? He was so multifaceted in front of Lao Shen!

Chen Zhen laughed and said, "Being the Jinshi and being the top scholar is just a means. Look at the big house, where is the material for being an official? In this way, it would be better if he can honestly not cause trouble for me."

The couple looked at each other, and naturally they could only say something to comfort him: "Da She has less experience, and it will be better in a few years."

"I saw that I was old since I was a child." Chen Zhen disagreed. "He was timid when he was a child. This is his nature. Even if he could overcome it in the future, when he reached the critical moment of his choice, he was afraid and fearful. It was not that thing."

When Ren Xiang saw them coming together, he knew it was for Chen Yuerong. When he saw that they were talking around without any point, he couldn't help but feel anxious and blinked at Chen Muqing.

Chen Zhen was smart and capable, and Ren Xiang's small actions naturally fell into his eyes.

He thought for a moment and said bluntly: "Mu Qing, there are no outsiders here. If you have anything to do, just say it!"

Xiao Sa glanced at Chen Muqing.

Chen Muqing sorted out his thoughts and told Chen Zhen about finding the spring.

Chen Zhen listened for a while and didn't say anything.

The atmosphere in the room was calm.

"It's all my fault..." A pain flashed in Ren Xiang's eyes, "If I had known this, I shouldn't have been thrusting with each other..."

"What do you have to do with you?" Chen Zhen sighed, "This is her choice... Besides, it's better for her to do this than to fall into the dust."

It was exactly the same as what Xiao Sa thought.

Ren Xiang just sighed after hearing this.

Although I didn't kill Boren, Boren died because of me! No one likes this feeling.

For a moment, the four of them sat opposite each other speechlessly.

At this moment, a terrified voice came from outside: "Master, emperor, the emperor is here!"

Everyone in the room was stunned, but they all came to their senses quickly.

Chen Muqing hurriedly saluted Chen Zhen: "I'll avoid it."

Before she could walk to the curtain, the door curtain was lifted up with a "swish" sound, and a man in Minghuang's clothes appeared in her sight.

Chen Muqing didn't dare to look at it. Without a moment of hesitation, he immediately knelt on the ground.

Behind him, there were rustling sounds of rubbing clothes and kneeling sounds: "Master!"

"Get up, get up!" The emperor's voice was very gentle, "This is in my beloved's house, not in the main hall, you don't have to be too polite to you," he said again, "Who is this?"

The emperor walked past Chen Muqing, and the black shoes of the person following him flashed in front of her eyes, followed by the sound of moving the chair.

"Go back to the emperor," Chen Zhen said with a respectful tone, "This person's surname is Ren and his name is Xiang. He is the grandson-in-law of the old master Shige. He has a good relationship with his son-in-law Xiao Sa. Today, Xiao Sa has been down and is here to join in the fun."

"Well..." The emperor replied softly, and Chen Muqing felt a look on him, "Is this my eldest daughter, right?"

"That's right." Chen Zhen's tone was introverted and steady, giving people a sense of peace of mind.

The emperor's tone was very light, "Get up, I'm not an outsider!"

Someone stepped forward to help Shen Muqing.

She lowered her head and stood up with her eyes closed.

The emperor sent the people around him.

Chen Muqing and Ren Xiang both retreated with those people.

Standing under the eaves, I realized that there was a thin sweat in my temples.

Someone blinked at Chen Muqing.

She looked closely and found that it was Gu Dabao.

The two exchanged a tacit smile, and Chen Muqing went to direct the maids to serve tea and snacks, and served the people in front of the emperor. Gu Dabao found an opportunity to whisper to Chen Muqing: "The emperor is in a good mood and wants to chat with Mr. Shen!"

Chen Muqing breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a little ridiculous.

It’s really the supreme imperial power! The emperor’s actions made the ministers below lose their heads… However, it seems that they have been the same since ancient times…

She introduced Ren Xiang to Gu Dabao.

Ren Xiang has always been smart, and a few words have made Gu Dabao feel more favorable to him.

Chen Muqing asked Ren Xiang to entertain Gu Dabao and his group.

The emperor stayed in the Shen family for more than an hour, and did not return home until dusk.

Everyone relaxed and felt that the emperor was so courteous to Chen Zhen. They were all happy, and there was a smile on their faces that could not be hidden. Especially Aunt Chen, who said to Chen Muqing and Shi Jingshu: "You said that if our grand house can pass the Jinshi, will the emperor be the top scholar in the palace examination for the sake of the master?"

"Yes!" Chen Muqing and Shi Jingshu exchanged a wink. Seeing each other's eyes full of smiles, they smiled even happier. "For the sake of Old Shen, the emperor will definitely give up a top scholar."

Aunt Chen showed a proud look: "Our family is not what I said. She is very smart and won the top scorer at a young age..."

Shi Jingshu covered her mouth and smiled.

Chen Muqing was a little embarrassed and interrupted Aunt Chen: "Auntie, look, do you want to order to serve the meal?"

Aunt Chen then stopped talking and went down to instruct the maids to pass on the meal.

Shi Jingshu took this opportunity to pull Chen Muqing's sleeve: "Don't lie in front of Mingren. Tell me, what happened? Why did Ren Xiang feel a little distracted after he came back after he went out?"

Chen Muqing thought about it and told Shi Jingshu about Chen Yuerong.

Shi Jingshu knew that Chen Yuerong and Ren Xiang had been engaged. At that time, I didn’t know if the person was Chen Yuerong, so Ren Xiang didn’t tell her very clearly. Shi Jingshu was speechless after hearing this for a while and sighed for a long time: “No wonder he was sad…the two almost became husband and wife.”

"You don't think Ren Xiang has anything to do with my cousin..."

Before Chen Muqing could finish his words, Shi Jingshu had already interrupted her: "I know Ren Xiang. He must not be so sad because of his feelings for Miss Chen... I just thought of Miss Chen's experience, and I was also a person who fueled the fire, and I was inevitably uneasy in my conscience."

"Then you can comfort him!" Chen Muqing saw Shi Jingshu very confident and smiled slightly.
