Chapter 37 An Garden Gossip

Chen Muqing smiled without saying a word, and put the bell cup containing pineapple tea in front of Liang Youhui with his own hands.

Liang Youhui smiled and thanked her, picked up the pine tea and sniffed it deeply, revealing a satisfied and happy expression.

Chen Muqing couldn't help but smiled slightly and picked up the cup of Longjing in front of him: "The people who make Beijing dishes are Shunqingyuan - they imitate the imperial meal pastry is the most famous. Today, they made the Buddha's hand pastry with almond fragrant fruit, the jujube flower pastry with walnut jujube paste and the auspicious cloud paste with wolfberry beans... Do you want to try it?"

Liang Youhui nodded repeatedly when she heard this.

Chen Muqing asked Ruyi Sauce, a plate of rose bean paste, to gather a small four pieces to drink tea.

The two of them were drinking tea and eating snacks.

Chen Muqing chatted with Liang Youhui: "Do you know Lord Liu's family very well?"

Liang Youhui pondered and said, "I can't say it either... I didn't seem to have many interactions before. During this period, Mrs. Liu often came to pay tribute to her grandmother, and her grandmother still kept her for dinner."

Chen Muqing's eyes were flowing, and he wanted to ask Liang Youhui a few words, but found that Liang Youhui suddenly looked at her with a red face, looking like she wanted to speak but stopped.

Chen Muqing remained silent and prepared to use stillness to control her movements.

"I see that Mrs. Liu looks very ordinary... I don't know what the Empress looks like?"

Liang Youhui looked very uneasy and said absent-mindedly: "I, I don't know... But Princess Xuan is very beautiful..." As she said that, her bright big eyes actually contained a few portions of water, as if she was about to cry.

Chen Muqing couldn't help but be shocked.

"Sister, I, I..." Liang Youhui's face was so white that it was red that it could drip bleeding, "I, I..."

"What's wrong?" Chen Muqing looked at her with a smile, looking very caring.

"I, I want to go to the clean room!" Liang Youhui said, and her face turned as depressed as if dead.

It turned out to be this... and it seemed like it was very urgent... I thought there was some insider information to hear...

Chen Muqing hurriedly asked Yingfen to serve her to her clean room.

After a while, Yingfen broke back and whispered in her ear: "Miss Liang is crying in the clean room!"

"What happened?" Chen Muqing's mind turned around, "Is it something that shouldn't be touched on the underwear, or..."

"I don't know!" Yingfen's face was also a little solemn, "Let the servants not have to serve by their side, and they lie there and cry in a low voice, as if they don't want us to know."

"I understand!" Chen Muqing nodded, "Since she doesn't want us to know, we just pretend not to know."

Yingfen nodded.

About two quarters of an hour later, Liang Youhui had not yet come out of the clean room. Chen Muqing couldn't help but feel anxious. She went to the clean room and listened through the inner fan, but she couldn't hear anything.

But don't have anything to do with her!

Chen Muqing raised an eyebrow at Yingfen.

Yingfen understood and put his ear on the inner fan again to listen.

After a moment, he turned around and shook his head at Chen Muqing.

Chen Muqing thought for a moment, got up and walked to the window, and whispered: "Sister, can you tell me somewhere?"

There was no movement in the clean room.

Chen Muqing pondered for a moment and said softly: "Sister, I have asked everyone who serves around me to go out... If you don't worry about me, I will let Zisha come in and serve you!"

"No, no, no..." Liang Youhui replied immediately, with a vague voice after crying, "Don't call Zisha, I, I'll be fine in a while..."

Yingfen whispered in Shen Muqing's ear: "Girl, the two maids beside Miss Liang, one is called Zisha and the other is called Danzhu... The eldest maid beside her is called Bizhu, and there is a Zijuan beside the lady of the Liang family..."

Chen Muqing nodded in a clear way and said softly: "You all go down! Just have me here."

Yingfen bowed his knees to salute Chen Muqing and retreated with the people serving in the house.

Chen Muqing advised Liang Youhui again: "My sister and I hit it off at first sight. What can I cover up in front of me?... It is not a way for my sister to hide in it like this. And the mat in front should almost be dispersed..."

Before she could speak, the inner door suddenly opened with a "ah" sound. Liang Youhui looked like a rabbit and pointed to her. Seeing that there were only the two of them in the room, she breathed a sigh of relief.

When Chen Muqing saw this, he hurriedly said, "Sister, don't worry, I won't let you lose your dignity in front of the servants."

When Liang Youhui heard this, tears filled her eyes and sucked her nose: "Thank you, sister!"

Chen Muqing asked her softly: "What's wrong with sister?"

Her face turned red and she said, "I, I've had a stomachache."

Because the guests at home were either rich or noble these days, Chen Muqing had also invited a lot of preparations for this, including the vigil of the inner and outer courtyards, the maids and servants serving in each courtyard, and the collection of utensils at home... have made some adjustments and arrangements. This cleaning is also one of them. It not only includes cleaning the halls and courtyards, but also cleaning in the kitchen. For this, she also sent Li's mother to the kitchen because she was afraid that someone would eat unclean things and ruin her stomach and make jokes.

When Chen Muqing heard this, he was shocked and then looked ashamed: "Sister, it's all my family is not good..."

Liang Youhui pulled Chen Muqing's sleeve and said anxiously: "No, it's not about my sister's family's business. It's me, it's me... I shouldn't eat that slutty..."

Chen Muqing was stunned. He thought there was something wrong with that slut.

She shouted Luo Mei loudly: "You called the Jixiangfu class master here."

"Don't shout, don't shout..." Liang Youhui actually looked at Chen Muqing with pleading eyes, "It's all my fault, it's nothing to do with others."

Seeing that she was calm and unprincipled, Chen Muqing couldn't help but frown secretly: "Sister, don't worry, I just want to ask what's going on. I don't want to pursue anyone, and I won't pull my sister in!"

Liang Youhui's tears were almost falling: "My sister doesn't know, I, I, I, because I haven't eaten a lot of meat for more than a year, so..."

Chen Muqing was stunned.

"Sister, call the person back..." Liang Youhui looked at Chen Muqing with tears in her eyes.

Although I didn't know the reason, Chen Muqing still asked someone to call Luo Mei back and said, "You should go to the front hall first to see if the banquet over there has ended!"

Luo Mei left, and Liang Youhui then breathed a sigh of relief and shouted "Sister" with gratitude.

Chen Muqing pulled Liang Youhui down and said seriously: "Sister, what's going on!"

Liang Youhui suddenly burst into tears: "...I am tall and fat... My family asked me to eat less...especially greasy things...I haven't eaten meat for almost a year...but I like to eat it the most..." As he said that, he suddenly lay on the kang and howled and cried.

Chen Muqing was stunned.

She is the worst at dealing with such things... Whether it is her classmates or colleagues in the past, everyone claims to be elites, and they still swallow their teeth if they break their teeth. Who would cry like this in front of someone she just met - unless it has any special purpose.

Thinking of this, Chen Muqing's eyelids couldn't help but jump.

She patiently comforted Liang Youhui: "Stop crying... Be careful that your eyes will be swollen, and it will be difficult to go out to see someone later."

Liang Youhui sobbed for a long time, finally stopped and took the handkerchief handed by Chen Muqing and wiped her eyes: "Sister, look at me, it must be ridiculous!" She was very depressed.

Chen Muqing pretended to be angry and said, "Sister, do you think I am such a person?"

"Sister, I don't mean that!" Liang Youhui began to cry again, "I, I don't want this... When I came, my mother asked Mother Zhou to tell me the rules... Grandma also gave me the cleverest purple gauze around me, but I still made a fool of myself..." Liang Youhui's handkerchief was twisted into a ball, "I, I'll go to your room to clean the room... If this spread, I, I, what kind of face do I have to meet people..." As she said that, she lay on the kang and started crying.

Chen Muqing stood up and sat next to Liang Youhui, hugged her shoulder and whispered: "Sister, I'm sad soon. It's here, not elsewhere... Don't worry, no one will know... Your stomach is better now... I was afraid that this would happen, and my family has prepared some medicine... It's better to take some, so I won't be rude in front of my wife later. That's really undesirable..."

When Liang Youhui heard this, she nodded immediately, and then she showed a hesitant expression: "...If someone else knows..."

"Don't worry, everyone in my room can be used, even if you have a wife, you can hide the truth."

Liang Youhui looked at Chen Muqing with a little admiration.

Chen Muqing called Yingfen in: "Go and take two pieces of Jianpi Pills made by Mr. Liu two days ago, and then go out and quietly sweep Ouxue."

Yingfen entered the bedroom with a sound, and soon brought honey pills the size of sycamore seeds, served Liang Youhui and swallowed them, bowed and retreated.

Liang Youhui took Jianpi Pills as if she had taken a reassurance pill, and her spirit was obviously relieved. She looked at Chen Muqing shyly and said "Thank you".

Chen Muqing covered his mouth and smiled: "Sister, what's there to thank for?"

As the two of them were talking, Luo Mei's voice came from outside: "Girl, I'm back!"

Chen Muqing helped Liang Youhui wipe her tears again, and then she responded.

Luo Mei came in and bowed her knees to salute Chen Muqing, and said with a smile: "Mrs. and Mrs. Liang both said that the girl should accompany Miss Liang to rest in Anyuan - the ladies are all trying to touch dominoes in the east wing!"

Chen Muqing couldn't help but smile: "This is auspicious human and heavenly appearance - when the table in front disperses, my sister's eyes will be almost well."

Liang Youhui was also surprised to hear this arrangement, but she had the same thoughts as Shen Muqing. When she heard it, she burst into tears and smiled tightly, holding Chen Muqing's hand: "Thank you, sister!"

Soon, Yingfan swept the snow and came in. Chen Muqing asked Luomei to find a sweat towel with green marmoset to filter the snow and then applied Liang Youhui's eyes.

Yingfen's hands were swollen by snow spikes, and Liang Youhui's eyes were swollen.
