Chapter 41

After finishing this, it was getting dark. The mother in charge came to ask Chen Muqing for the dinner party. Chen Muqing was busy explaining the matters related to the dinner party. Liang Youhui kept watching quietly. When the mother in charge left, she looked at Chen Muqing with admiration: "You are one year younger than me, how can you know so many things!"

"Let's learn from my wife!" Chen Muqing said sincerely. Then she remembered Li's illness and the beautiful future... She couldn't help but look gloomy.

Of course, Liang Youhui didn't know the reason for Chen Muqing's emotional change. She thought she was tired and said with concern: "Do you want to lie down for a while? I'll call you when I'm having a meal?"

Even if I am really tired, I can't lie down in front of the guests.

Chen Muqing smiled and said, "It's okay! It's okay!"

Liang Youhui showed sympathy: "My grandmother is the same - she is so energetic in front of others, but when she leaves, she is as if she is ten years older!"

Chen Muqing was quite strange.

Logically speaking, the Liang family is a hereditary marquis, and Liang Yuan is an angry person. What else should Mrs. Liang mind? She must maintain a tough image in front of outsiders... However, every family has difficult sutras, who knows what is strange about it!

Chen Muqing shook his head gently and decided not to think about the Liang family.

Liang Youhui walked behind Chen Muqing and massaged her neck: "I often massage my grandmother like this!"

Although it was not necessary, Chen Muqing was still moved by a little.

*******

The dinner that day went on very smoothly. When it was time to light the lights, the guests said goodbye one after another.

Chen Muqing stood at the corner door and saw the female family off.

Qin Wei's wife held Chen Muqing's hand with a smile: "The more I look at her, the more I like it... I am good-looking, knowledgeable, and filial... Mrs. Chen, your one is worth ten from other families!"

Li smiled and greeted her: "This is the wife's recitation!"

"You are too modest!" Qin Wei's wife smiled. Then she said seriously: "If the wife decides to go to the temple, just come and report it, don't be polite to me."

Li smiled and nodded: "I'll bother my wife then!"

Qin Wei's wife laughed: "No trouble, no trouble! I can't ask for it!"

As he said that, he exchanged glances with Hu Xin's wife, and then Shi Xuanran got into the warm sedan chair.

When Liang Yuan's wife said goodbye, it was a different scene.

Liang Youhui held Chen Muqing's hand: "Sister, don't forget the orchid I gave me!" As he said that, he pinched Chen Muqing's hand hard.

I don’t know if it’s been pinched! Even if it’s a reminder, there’s no need to do this!

Chen Muqing complained in his heart, but a smile appeared on his face: "Don't worry, sister, I'll send it to you tomorrow morning!"

Liang Yuan's wife looked at it and smiled apologetically at Li, "Our children are the most dullest. The grandma is raised by her side and she has not seen any progress. Don't be surprised by her madam..."

Li smiled politely: "The children are at the same age and can speak together."

"This is also the fate of two children!"

Li smiled and nodded. Liang Yuan's wife's lips slightly tilted, as if she was about to say something. Aside from, there were wives coming to Li to say goodbye. Mrs. Liang Yuan smiled and shut up. When the ladies and Li finished their remarks, she also smiled and left with the ladies.

After seeing off the guests, it was completely dark, but Chen Muqing could not rest. First, the mother in charge of the business was in charge of the matter, second, she had to pair various in-and-out accounts with real objects to see if there was anything missing, who was responsible, and third, she also had to cheer up the people who were doing it. After finishing these, it was midnight. Maybe she was tired, so she couldn't sleep when she got into bed. She narrowed her eyes until the sky turned white, and then went to the greenhouse with Yingfen to order the orchids sent to the Liang family, and then went to the Li family room to pay tribute.

Because she went there a little late, when she arrived at Chaoxitang, Chen Yuerong and Dashe and Tian’s mother were going out. Everyone met, bowed and greeted each other. Chen Yuerong smiled and said, “I heard that the second girl from the Liang family of Dingyuan Hou came to visit her house yesterday?”

Chen Muqing nodded.

Chen Yuerong said angrily: "Why don't you call me? We two sisters together, you don't have to lose money to Miss Liang."

Chen Muqing only felt a headache and wanted this sister to go back to Taicang earlier.

"Sister is a guest, how can I be alarmed!" She talked to her a few words in a vague tone, and then went to Li's house.

When Li saw Chen Muqing, his eyebrows and eyes were all smiling. He pulled her onto the kang, touched her head and sighed: "Mu Qing in our family has grown up, and she can still use it without me."

Seeing her tone, Chen Muqing felt a little sad, thinking that she had an empty nest plot, so he hurriedly comforted her: "If my wife didn't support me behind my back, I wouldn't be so angry."

Li looked at Chen Muqing with a doting look, and patted her hand gently with comfort: "Don't worry, I will always be behind you."

As he was talking, a little maid brought a horse* with butter and sugar. Li took it and handed it to Chen Muqing with his own hands, saying, "I know you don't like this taste, but this thing is nourishing, so you remember to drink it every day."

Chen Muqing responded and drank it all in one go like a medicine.

When Li saw this, he pursed his lips and said, "You should eat fruits often, and you can be very talented!"

Chen Muqing nodded repeatedly: "I understand!"

"Simple clothes have a clean elegance, but gorgeous clothes have a gorgeous joy. Sometimes, don't be stubborn!"

Chen Muqing nodded.

"Although the head of pearl jade is troublesome, you must not wear it. Since you have worn it, be more generous and don't be afraid of losing it."

Chen Muqing's face turned slightly red.

Thinking of the value of those jewelry, she was really afraid of losing it... After all, she was still more aware of the common people in her bones!

"There are hundreds of schools of thought that need to be learned, but the chess pieces of the two continents cannot be understood."

Chen Muqing responded again.

But I was wondering: What happened to Li today? I said such strange words, as if I were explaining my funeral!

The thought flashed, and Chen Muqing felt a stuttering in his heart. He was wondering whether to explore Li's tone, but a little maid outside said, "Butler Lin is here to pay tribute to his wife!"

Is Lin Jincai, who went to Taicang, back?

In this way, Chen Yuerong's incident should have a result!

When Chen Muqing heard this, he let out a sigh and stood up to avoid it. However, Li said, "You little girl who is not in the same position - sit down for me!"

This was not the case with Li before...

Although she was confused, she sat down when she thought that Butler Lin would bring news about Taicang's hometown.

Butler Lin came in and saw Chen Muqing and Li sitting side by side on the big kang, and an unexpected expression flashed across his face. He respectfully saluted Li and Chen Muqing, and congratulated Li for Chen Zhen's promotion.

Li laughed and dismissed everyone who served beside him, and asked Butler Lin: "What's going on in Taicang?"

Butler Lin said respectfully: "Everyone is grateful to the master and his wife's etiquette. Several elders in the clan also came out to accuse the second master of the wrong."

"What did the second master say about Yuerong?"

Butler Lin said tactfully: "The second master said that he owed Mr. Ren five thousand taels of silver... I really can't speak out about breaking the engagement!"

Li was furious: "This old man is not practicing!"

Butler Lin quickly lowered his head, and Chen Muqing quickly poured a glass of water for Li.

Li took a sip of hot tea, suppressed his anger, and said, "You have seen that Ren family's rogue!"

Butler Lin hesitated for a moment and responded softly, "I've seen it."

"Tell me!" Li's tone was very disdainful.

Butler Lin replied irresponsible: "That Mr. Ren is here with his slaves. He is outside the door and wants to meet his wife."

Both Li and Shen Muqing were surprised.

"This is a good example of Mr. Ren, who is good at speaking, and has a bit of generous behavior." Mr. Lin recalled, "I posted a post to treat me to dinner that night when I went to Taicang. I remembered my wife's instructions and did not dare to do anything outside. I did not agree. As a result, when I came back, Mr. Ren actually arrived on the boat before, and waited for the boat to drive fifty miles away to find out... No matter what the slave said, Mr. Ren insisted on coming to Kyoto with me. He also said that he was coming to pay homage to my uncle... Mr. Lin was really trying to persuade him, so he had to go to him..." As he said that, Mr. Lin showed a very embarrassing expression on his face.

Li really had no good feelings for this "Uncle Ren". He hummed softly and said, "He knows Yuerong is in our house."

Butler Lin hurriedly said, "I didn't dare to reveal a word of it."

Li smiled coldly: "If you don't say it, it's hard to guarantee that others won't say it, and others won't guess." As he said that, he called Mother Wang to come in.

"You go and tell Wang Fu that there are many guests in the family these days, so I will not see the person named Ren. I will take him out to send a meal and don't let him in."

Mother Wang left.

Butler Lin looked embarrassed.

Li turned a blind eye and asked Butler Lin: "How is Yuerong in her parents' home?"

Mr. Lin said: "Everyone says that the fourth girl is smart and capable, and when the second wife is here, she can be the whole family."

Li nodded and pondered for a long time.

Seeing that although Manager Lin was dressed neatly and looked clean, Chen Muqing looked very tired. He knew that he had been tired during the journey, so he gently reminded Li: "Madam, Manager Lin has worked hard all the way, so let him go back and take a break!"

Only then did Li suddenly feel stunned and said, "Mr. Lin, you go down and rest!"

Manager Lin looked at Chen Muqing gratefully and bowed and retreated.

Li looked at Chen Muqing hesitantly, looking like he was eager to speak but stopped.

Chen Muqing smiled and said, "What does the wife want to tell me? Can't you speak up?"

Li suddenly smiled at her.

In that smile, there was something strange that Chen Muqing didn't know about.

"Tomorrow is the fifteenth day, and Mrs. Hu asked me to go to the temple for vegetarian food. Do you want to go?"

Chen Muqing was stunned.

"Last time, I was careless." Li sighed quietly, "I thought that the Emperor's feet were at the important part of the capital, and the Yaowang Temple was a small temple. There were no people going to go there, and people from top to bottom were familiar with each other, but I didn't expect that the more this happened, the more things happened..."
