Chapter 294

Chen Muqing half-truely warned Xiao Sa and smiled and said, "Didn't you say you went to Xishan to see the yard with Lord Wang? Why are you back so soon!"

"Oh!" Xiao Sa smiled, "Wang Tu has something to do, so I'll go there another day."

Chen Muqing served him back to the house and changed his clothes. Ziyang came over to pay his respects to him. Xiao Sa carried the child onto the kang and patiently accompanied him to play with the leaves. During the period, he asked her: "Where is the eldest lady living now?"

"Living in Yong'anfang," Chen Muqing smiled, "I said I bought a house there... I didn't agree if I asked her to live in Baizhifang. It seems that she is planning to live in Kyoto for a long time. I have already sent a few mothers to serve."

Xiao Sa smiled and flipped over a card with Ziyang: "Xiao Chengzhi should make a decision today and tomorrow... We can also get rid of this matter as soon as possible. Otherwise, if you work hard on both sides, how can your body bear it!"

"It's not that I am serving there myself." After all, the eldest wife and the eldest master were Xiao Sa's biological mother and biological father. Chen Muqing didn't discuss it much and changed the topic. "I asked Tongyuansheng's guy to send four-tailed mandarin fish, and two of them were sent to the eldest wife's house, leaving two at home. You rarely come back so early today, so I'll let someone steam those two fish!"

"Okay!" Xiao Sa smiled, "Call Master Chang, and you can bring us a jar of Jinhua wine. I will have two drinks with him."

Chen Muqing smiled and left.

As soon as I went out, I met a little maid who came to greet me: "Grandma, Old Master Shen has a mother here!"

At this time?

Chen Muqing was slightly stunned and hurriedly called the little maid: "Let me come in."

The little maid turned around to invite someone, and Chen Muqing whispered to the little maid beside her to go to the kitchen to pass the message, asking Yingfen to invite Chang Hui.

After a while, Chen Muqing saw Mother Tian walk in with a smile on her face. She saluted Chen Muqing from afar. When she approached, she smiled and said, "Auntie, our Aunt Chen invites you to have a banquet tomorrow." As she said that, she took out an invitation.

Chen Muqing was very strange.

Mother Tian whispered: "It's the young master who is back. My aunt wants to invite a few friends to gather together, and everyone is lively."

Chen Muqing collected the post and asked someone to give Tian’s mother a reward. Tian’s mother was in a hurry to go back: “…I’ll send a post to Mrs. Min, I’ll take it back first.”

She nodded, and a little maid led her back.

Chen Muqing took the invitation into the house and showed it to Xiao Sa: "...I don't know what it means?"

"Whatever it means, prepare a gift, and bring more silver to act according to the opportunity."

Chen Mu nodded, and after seeing Xiao Sa off early the next morning, he dressed up and brought a set of four treasures as gifts, and took the children to the Petrochemical Bridge.

When she returned to her parents' home, she took her children to pay homage to Chen Zhen first.

Chen Zhen looked calmly: "She can really do it. She is just a little scholar. She actually invited someone to come to her house for a drink and listen to the lecture. If she wins the top scorer, wouldn't she be put on a sermon... I remember when we passed the imperial examination, we felt that we had finally failed the expectations of our parents. As for such a big show, we would never dare to think about it..."

As he was talking, he heard Chen Muqing's return big house rushed over.

He smiled and could tell that he was in a good mood.

Hearing Chen Zhen’s complaint, Dashe’s eyes sank and he said hello to Shen Muqing with some restraint: “Sister, you are here!”

Chen Muqing greeted Dashe with a smile, and the two children ran over. Dashe breathed a sigh of relief, led the two children, and hurried away with the excuse of taking them down.

"Master," Although Chen Muqing's opinion is the same as Shen Zhen, she can only mediate now. "My aunt is just using this matter to find an excuse to gather together. You don't have to take it too seriously - if the aunt wants to show off, she would have posted a wide invitation long ago."

Chen Zhen sighed: "You go! Jingshu is looking forward to you coming!"

Chen Muqing enlightened Chen Zhen a few more words, and then he left Shi Jingshu at that time.

Brother Tai is already turning over. Seeing Chen Muqing, Shi Jingshu asked someone to carry the child out: "Muqing, I have something to discuss with you."

Seeing Shi Jingshu so serious, Chen Muqing couldn't help but be stunned: "What's wrong with Sister Jingshu?"

Shi Jingshu's mouth slightly squinted, and she hesitated for a while before saying, "We want to go back to Nanjing to stay for a while."

Chen Muqing was stunned.

I went back to Nanjing to live for a while... It's just a tactful statement! Shi Jingshu wanted to go back to Nanjing!

Shi Jingshu's face looked ashamed: "...... The most difficult time I was when you took me in... It turned out that you promised you that you would accompany the master... But I heard that my grandfather's health was getting worse and worse... so I wanted to go back and take a look..." As she said that, tears were filled with her eyes.

"Sister, don't do this!" Chen Muqing hurriedly shook Shi Jingshu's hand, "Old Master Shi is in poor health, so sister should go back and take a look..."

"So I promised you to take care of the master..."

"What are my sister saying?" Chen Muqing smiled, "If it weren't for my sister's care for the master, how could I feel at ease with Xiao Sa to go to Shanghai with Xiao Sa... Isn't it going to be ashamed of my sister's words now?" As she said that, she asked Shi Jingshu, "When will sister set off? I'll help clean up when I'll help me!"

"There is no date yet." No matter how Chen Muqing comforted him, Shi Jingshu still felt embarrassed, "I want to discuss with you first."

"I'll talk about the master." Chen Muqing smiled and pulled her out, "Sister has returned to Nanjing, and we have fewer opportunities to meet. Take advantage of this opportunity today, but you have to have fun."

"Yes!" Shi Jingshu's tone felt a little sad, "I'm afraid we've rarely seen each other in the past few years."

"That's not happy..."

The two went to the flower hall together.

Mrs. Min has arrived and is sitting side by side with a woman about 35 or 6 years old, chatting. When she saw Chen Muqing coming in, she hurriedly waved to her with a smile: "Muqing, come and see me, this is my sixth sister-in-law and Wenhui's mother."

Min Wenhui is the name of Dashe's fiancée.

Chen Muqing was a little surprised and hurriedly went forward with a smile and greeted the woman.

He has beautiful facial features and a friendly smile. He looks like a very gentle woman.

Chen Muqing couldn't help but nodded secretly.

With such a mother, the daughter should be nowhere close to her!

The woman quickly got up and returned the gift.

Mrs. Min explained with a smile: "When the sixth brother was heard, the emperor specially invited her to Beijing to give the prince a lecture for three days. The sixth sister-in-law followed her to Beijing, and the aunt happened to treat her, so I pulled her here."

"Okay, ought." Chen Muqing smiled enthusiastically, "Thank you, my wife, for helping us invite this distinguished guest."

Shi Jingshu also joined in the fun: "At home, I often hear Dashe talk about how well he treated him in Xiangshan, but I have never had the chance to meet him. When I met today, my wife was really annoying, and it was also a blessing for our Dashe."

"You two aunts are welcome..."

Everyone was joking affectionately, and someone came in: "Madam Min!"

The people in the room looked in the sound and saw a gorgeously dressed 40-year-old woman standing next to the curtain with a smile.

Mrs. Min looked confused and said, "You are..."

The woman stepped forward and bowed: "My family, Chen Zhu, and her husband, Chen Ke, are the doctor in the Ministry of Personnel."

Mrs. Min looked like she suddenly realized: "It turned out to be Mrs. Chen. You are also here for the banquet today!"

Mrs. Chen smiled attentively: "Yes, I heard you are here, so I came here to invite you." As she said that, she looked at the others in the room: "These are..."

Mrs. Min introduced it with a faint expression.

Mrs. Chen saluted Chen Muqing and others: "...I didn't expect to meet a noble person here."

Everyone stood up and returned the gift.

"A few days ago, I also heard from our master that Mr. Min's sixth cousin was a famous scholar in Jiangnan. He was indifferent to fame and fortune, and was invisible in the countryside, and enjoyed teaching and educating people. I was amazed when I heard this... I didn't expect that I actually met Mrs. Min." Mrs. Chen praised Mrs. Min.

Mrs. Min was slightly stunned and smiled at the social event: "Our husband is a commoner, Mrs. Chen praised her."

"Mrs. Min is modest." Mrs. Chen smiled, "Mr. Min is someone who even the emperor praises." After saying that, she looked at Chen Muqing and smiled, "I often come to the mansion and never met my aunt once. I heard that Lord Xiao wants to buy some other courtyards in Xishan?"

Chen Muqing was stunned.

Xiao Sa decided to buy some courtyards in Xishan just in the past few days. How did Mrs. Chen know?

The thought flashed, and Mrs. Chen said, "...that place is beautiful. Not to mention the scenery, the most important thing is the good Feng Shui. Do you know the King of Qin?"

The emperor's half-brother...one of the most popular candidates for emperors at that time!

Everyone nodded.

"Every time the weather changes, I feel a headache and I can't even walk on the road. I don't know how many famous doctors I have seen and how many secret recipes I have taken, but it just doesn't work. Later, the emperor rewarded a house in Xishan to the prince. Don't you say that the prince's toe headache was cured. Not only did it recover, but he also walked as fast as he could pull the five stone bow..." Mrs. Chen became more and more excited. "Mr. Hu Xin, Lord Hu, are the ladies familiar with each other, are they also familiar with each other? He also bought a villa in Xishan. There are also Minister Yu from the Ministry of Revenue and Lord Lu from the Censorate..." She knew everything, "I bought a villa in Xishan."

Several people couldn't help but sweat in their temples when they heard this.

This Mrs. Chen... knows too much!

Everyone couldn't help but smile embarrassedly.

"Mrs. Xiao, you want to buy a villa in Xishan, so I can't let me introduce my family." Mrs. Liu moved her body and fell closer to Mu Qing. "It turns out that Chen Tie-shang of the Hanlin Academy, have you heard of it? He married the widow of the former Henan Provincial General Secretary, Lord Han. Now he has resigned and returned to his hometown, but the house has not been sold..."

Chen Tie Lecture at Hanlin Academy... Lord Han...

Chen Muqing remembered that it was the couple who were laughed at by Mrs. Liu Jin.

"I remember that Chen Taishu has been back home for two or three years, right?" Mrs. Min picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, and smiled, "What? Has his house not been sold yet?" She said unhappy, feeling that Mrs. Chen was talking about her long-term and tactful, not like the wife of the official family, but like a dentist who traveled to hundreds of schools.

"Chen Tie-chan and his wife returned to the hometown two years ago." Mrs. Chen hurriedly explained, "The house price is a bit high, so it has not been sold. However, the house is really well-built. Mrs. Chen and I have some friendship. If Mrs. Xiao wants to buy it, I can talk about it from it. If Mrs. Xiao doesn't believe it, you can also ask Mrs. Wang - your family wants to buy a yard, which is what Mrs. Wang told me... Mrs. Wang was also entrusted by Mrs. Wang, and then asked me to help me see it everywhere. I was also anxious. When I met the original owner, I said it out loud."

(Maybe because I was about to finish the article, I felt reluctant to leave...)
