Chen Muqing said to Li about Zisha: "... The wife did not mention the affairs of the Liang family, so it had nothing to do with us. But since she wanted to marry the Liang family, I think it would be better to find out some things clearly. This fact is too strange. Our family is also an old customer of Wanbaozhai. If they were asked to help with silver-headed faces, it would be inappropriate to face, Wanbaozhai would definitely take on this job. Even so, it would be impossible to take good silver to make jewelry... Isn't this a self-destructor?"

Li smiled slightly: "What if the Liang family had the intention to marry us long ago?"

Chen Muqing was stunned, but his mind quickly turned: "If this is the case, then Mrs. Liang's visit, Liang Youhui's visit, and even Liang Jimin's interruption of his studies and was called back from the temple... Even Zisha's actions can make sense."

A look of relief flashed in Li's eyes: "Then tell me, how can Zisha's actions make sense?"

Chen Muqing pondered: "Marriage matters have been decided by his parents since ancient times. Since the Liang family wants to marry our family, the Grandma, Mrs. Liang and even Mrs. Liang, must have discussed it. The people of the Liang family must know it, at least within a certain range. Zisha took advantage of the opportunity to visit our family with Liang Youhui and specifically exposed this matter to me. However, there are two situations."

Li nodded slightly and looked at her with encouragement.

Chen Muqing's face was a little calm: "One is Zisha's mistake when she was a job. She was panicked at the time. Thinking that I was not the serious master of their family after all, I didn't take it very seriously and came to ask me for help. First, Zisha was instructed by others and deliberately revealed something to me in a vague way. This incident will play a certain role in the marriage between our two families..."

Li gradually had a happy smile on his face: "What he said makes sense. Since he has such suspicion in his heart, what are you going to do?"

This is also the test of Li’s self!

Thoughts flashed, Chen Muqing said seriously: "I want to go to Wanbaozhai."

Li's eyebrows raised slightly.

"If it is the first situation, it would be better." Chen Muqing said his thoughts, "If it is the second situation... I thought, since someone in the Liang family deliberately pretended to behave like this in front of me, if we ignore it, wouldn't it be disappointing others' kindness!" At the end of the conversation, it was already a bit cold.

Li shook his daughter's hand on the ground and placed it in his palm: "While I can clean up the mess for you, do whatever I want!"

*******

The next day, Chen Muqing went to Wanbaozhai, located in Baolin Hutong, Dongcheng, on the excuse of ordering a few pieces of jewelry.

There are all streets here to buy jewelry, jade, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, so they are not like other places where tall buildings are stunning and flags are swaying. The wide bluestone streets are lined with ancient trees, and the pink walls are built high. A black-painted Guangliang door can be seen in three or five steps. Bluestone carved into lotus-style door signs, and the three words "Jufangzhai" are engraved in small pieces, or Taihu stone is placed in front of the door, carving the three big words "Jubaoxuan", or pasting the sky-colored Lingbi stone next to the door, and a seal of "Qingwan" is laid on it. There are almost no pedestrians on the street, and there are several warm sedans or carriages in front of each house. But the worst warm sedans are also green on the tin roof, and the second most carriage is also black painted brocade curtains, which makes people passing by this place accidentally look at them.

Chen Muqing put on a cloak and entered the backyard of Wanbaozhai.

The second shopkeeper of Wanbaozhai personally welcomed her to the private room and sat down.

After the handsome maid in bright clothes gave them a refreshment, Chen Muqing asked Yingfen to take out the set of noodles that the Liang family gave to Zhuji to add a box to the second shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, please see if it is a treasure number."

The second shopkeeper stretched his neck and looked at the things in Yingfen's hand carefully, and smiled and said, "It should be something from our family."

Chen Muqing signaled Yingfen to hand over the things to the second shopkeeper: "The second shopkeeper helped me ask, who ordered it? How many sets did you order? How many taels of silver did you use each?"

The second shopkeeper showed a look of embarrassment on his face.

People who come and go to Wanbaozhai are either rich or noble, and keeping customer information confidential is one of the most basic professional operations of Wanbaozhai and one of the fundamentals of Wanbaozhai’s ability to gain a foothold in the upper-level circle of Kyoto.

Chen Muqing is naturally clear.

She smiled and said, "Don't be surprised by the second shopkeeper. It's really a reason. The shopkeeper has seen it clearly. There is a swept among them, and the quality seems to be a problem."

The shopkeeper was shocked and hurriedly picked up the red painted gold box from Yingfen and looked at it carefully.

"I don't hide it from you. This was originally something sent by the Liang family of Dingyuan Hou." Chen Muqing said lightly, "Because it was decided on Guibao, I didn't look carefully when I collected it. When I took it out today, I found something was wrong. So I specially showed it to the shopkeeper."

The wealthy family is so secretive. Whether the Shen family girl came to check the origin of this face or to check the authenticity of the plunder, the second shopkeeper didn't want to know or ask more questions. He hurriedly saluted Chen Muqing, said, "Please wait, girl," and called a little maid to serve him. He took the red lacquer and gold-painted box and took the first look.

Chen Muqing knew that he was going to investigate the matter, so he sat leisurely in the house drinking tea.

Yingfen was a little worried and leaned over and said with his ears: "Girl, will they see that this swept was added by us later?"

Chen Muqing pretended to look at the furnishings in the house and whispered quietly: "Don't worry, the shopkeepers of Wanbaozhai are all smart. I don't know how many people we have met. Just begging them to help see what is true or not, that is the most common one. If you encounter something like the white party, that will really give them a headache!"

Yingfen couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "Girl, what is the White Party?"

Chen Muqing was shocked to realize his mistakes, so he had to pretend that he didn't hear them, pointing to the porcelain screens of a group of celestial girls scattering flowers opposite the flour wall and said, "This color is so gentle and delicate, it looks like something from the official kiln during the Zheng'an period."

Yingfen's eyes were immediately attracted. She stood in front of the porcelain screen and looked carefully: "If it was really something from Zhengan's age, it would be expensive... it shouldn't be placed here!" Before she finished speaking, she heard the sound of the broken porcelain.

The two were shocked and their eyes fell on the set of porcelain screens.

Seeing the porcelain screen hanging there very well, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, but they were also curious about the source of the sound, and they couldn't help but listen.

After a while, a faint crying sound came from over there.

Ying Fen said in surprise: "You can't have such a set of porcelain screens hanging next door!"

"No way!" Chen Muqing replied inconclusively, but his face turned to the little maid standing by the door.

The little maid had a panic expression on her face. Seeing Chen Muqing's eyes falling on her, she showed a very reluctant smile: "The girl's eyes are so accurate. This is exactly what Zheng'an has. There is also a group hanging on the next wall, but it is a phoenix-hooked peony."

Chen Muqing and Yingfen looked at each other, and the little maid looked like she was about to cry.

The one serving next door should be her little sister!

When Chen Muqing saw it, his heart softened and said, "Or why don't you go over and take a look!"

The little maid had tears in her eyes, but she smiled and said, "No, the shopkeeper has told her that everyone is in charge of her and no one is allowed to run around."

Chen Muqing was slightly stunned.

There is a reason why Wanbaozhai can stand in Kyoto for a hundred years.

She felt sympathy for a moment and comforted her, "Don't worry, the guests who come to Wanbaozhai are very rich, and they can afford to pay."

The little maid said, "You don't know that this is the first time the woman next door has come to Wanbaozhai. I'm afraid she wants her to compensate, but she thought we Wanbaozhai was cheating her!"

The implication is that the person next door is a local bun.

As the two were talking, a sharp shout came from the next door: "... Are you cheating me? This porcelain screen is worth 3,000 taels... Why don't you rob it? I thought I was a vegetarian..."

Chen Muqing listened and felt that the sound was so familiar.

She couldn't help but open a crack in the door and looked out.

I saw a young man with picturesque eyebrows and eyes standing under the eaves with impatient face.

"Baoliang..." Chen Muqing shouted the boy's name in surprise, "Why are you here?"

Bao Liang looked in the voice and immediately showed a bright smile.

He walked over step by step: "Little sister, why is it you?"

Chen Muqing pointed to the next door and said, "What's going on? What about Manager Pang? Where is your young master?"

Baoliang's eyes lit up and answered irresponsible questions: "Did the little sister come with your head? You must be very familiar with Wanbaozhai? That second sister Tu lost her temper and broke the porcelain screen. Now she has to pay 3,000 taels of silver. Can you tell the people in Wanbaozhai..."

"Wait, wait!" Chen Muqing stopped Baoliang from talking nonstop, "We say it one by one."

Baoliang stopped talking.

But his eyes looked up and down at Chen Muqing: "Sister is dressed so beautifully."

He also stared at his eyes wide, full of curiosity.

Chen Muqing smiled at him and said, "Let me talk first, why are you with Sister Tu?"

When Baoliang heard this, his face immediately showed anger: "You don't know, that Tu Xiaoya is not a thing at all. His brother-in-law Xu San lost money to sell his wife, so what do you have to do with us? Somehow, he found our young master and asked us to buy her sister. We are the young masters, too. Since we came back from drinking at your house that day, we have become a different person, no longer read books or practice swords. When Xu San found him, he bought this second sister without saying a word..."

What the hell is going on!

Chen Muqing couldn't figure out his mind at all.

She said wonderingly: "Baoliang, you said that the young master came back from our house to drink and was like a different person. What happened?"

But Baoliang was immersed in his anger. Chen Muqing asked him. Not only did he not answer, he raised his voice, trying to suppress Chen Muqing's voice, just caring about himself: "... It's so shameless. In the middle of winter, he was wearing a silk strapless underwear and tied a scarlet sweat towel around the house... Our young master didn't know what was fascinated by, but he actually..." As he said, his face flushed.
