Chapter 79 Half-Old Fan Cover

Back at Diecuiyuan, Liang Youhui shouted "tired" and asked Luo Mei, who was guarding the house at home, to burn the small bathhouse: "You need to take a comfortable hot bath."

Luo Mei glanced at Chen Muqing, and Chen Muqing slightly lit his jaw, and she smiled and left.

When Liang Youhui went to take a bath, Chen Muqing thought of the lights that were on in Liang Jimin's house when he returned to the yard just now.

Could it be that I'm back first?

But he didn't pay his respects to Feng... Or was the grandma telling him what made him embarrassed and was in a bad mood?

Thinking of this, Chen Muqing went to the east wing where Liang Jimin lived.

Liang Jimin has not come back from the wife of the Tai - it was Chengxin who was cutting rice paper for Liang Jimin.

Seeing that he was so attentive in his work, Chen Muqing smiled and said, "Today is the third day of the Lunar New Year, so you can rest too!"

Who knew that Cheng Xin blushed and murmured: "Grandma Third Young Master, the Third Young Master has given instructions. From New Year's Eve to the fifteenth year of the year, we practice twenty large pieces of paper every day... I went out to play today, and the paper has not been cut yet!"

Chen Muqing couldn't help but nodded secretly.

Speaking of which, Liang Jimin is still very hardworking, practicing at least twenty large small calligraphy every day.

She looked at Chengxin's red face under the light and smiled, "Tianse followed the young master to my house today. Who did you go to play with?"

Chengxin smiled and said, "With Xiao Wuzi."

"Who is Xiao Wuzi?" Chen Muqing first came to be fine, but second, he saw Chengxin was young and the atmosphere was good today. He took the opportunity to chat with him, wanting to know more about the people around Liang Jimin, and also communicate with the people around him to deepen his relationship.

"He is the fifth girl in Feng's family who drove the car," Chengxin and Shen Muqing chatted, but his subordinates kept not stopping for a moment. "Every time the fifth girl comes, he will drive the car, and sometimes he will ask me and Shise to play."

Chen Muqing smiled sweetly, looking like he suddenly realized: "So it's Wanqing's cousin!"

While she said, she carefully observed Chengxin's expression: "I didn't say anything beforehand, otherwise we could meet each other later. Speaking of which, I only heard from the third young master, but I don't know each other yet!"

Chengxin was a lively person, and when she saw Chen Muqing's kind attitude, she was very interested in talking to him, so she naturally said everything: "When the Third Young Master got married, the fifth girl was sick and didn't come to have a drink. However, Sister Wu Jin, who was beside the fifth girl, came and gave the third Young Master a gift to the fifth girl."

Chen Muqing's eyelids twitched when he heard this.

"The maid next to Miss Five is Wu Jin, what a strange name? I wonder what the other maids are named?"

Chengxin smiled and said, "Miss Five has only two maids, both of whom served her as a child. The other one is called Chanyi."

"You are all paper, and the fifth girl is surrounded by ink." Chen Muqing lowered her eyelids, "Don't you draw whatever you want? You can write whatever you want?"

"Oh! I haven't noticed it yet," Chengxin touched his head, "Really, we are all paper, and the sisters around the fifth girl are all ink. No wonder Shise can't tell the sister Chanyi beside the fifth girl. It turns out that this name is not well-known..." As he said that, he smiled foolishly, "When the fifth girl comes in two days, I will tell Sister Wu Jin about the young lady, and she will definitely find it very interesting!"

Chen Muqing raised his eyebrows lightly: "When did the fifth girl make an appointment?"

Chengxin shook his head: "I didn't make an appointment. However, since I entered the mansion, every year after the tenth day of the first lunar month, my wife would send someone to pick up the fifth girl to play for a few days, and then send it back to the mansion after the twenty-year lunar month." Speaking of this, he smiled, "The Third Young Master will see the fifth girl in a few days."

Chen Muqing nodded, said a few words to Chengxin absent-mindedly, and then used the excuse that it was too late and Liang Jimin returned to the house.

She saw that Liang Youhui had not yet come out of the bathhouse, so she went to Li's mother's place.

"Who are there at home today?" Chen Muqing's face was very cold.

Mother Li hurriedly said, "In addition to the two families who have taken out their loan, they have children and come back to pay New Year's greetings to their masters, a fifth girl from the Marquis of Deqing came to pay New Year's greetings to the Grandmaster and the Lady."

"Is she alone?"

Mother Li nodded: "Taked two maids, two mothers, and two rough-spoken women, and drove two cars over."

"What did the lady say to her?"

"I don't know this!" Li's mother was slightly stunned, "It is said that this fifth girl would come to greet her wife every year in the third day of the lunar calendar. On the 15th Lantern Festival, the wife would take her over to accompany her to get along with her for all kinds of illnesses."

Chen Muqing nodded and said, "If this fifth girl comes in from now on, you can be smart."

Mother Li hurriedly responded "Yes", and Chen Muqing turned around and went to Liang Jimin's house again.

Liang Jimin hasn't come back yet, Cheng Xin's paper has just been cut. When he saw Chen Muqing, he was stunned: "Young grandma, what urgent matter is there? Do you want me to help me pass on a message?"

Chen Muqing shook his head: "It's just that I'm fine, I'm walking around." As he said that, he went to Liang Jimin's bedroom.

The small paint-filled bed is hung with moon-white brocade tents, and two pots of daffodils are placed on the window sill of the big kang next to the window, and the faint fragrance comes from time to time.

This was the first time she had entered Liang Jimin's bedroom.

Chen Muqing walked to the paint-filled bed like a leisurely stroll, flipping through the book Liang Jimin placed beside his pillow, then sat on the big kang next to the window, and carefully looked at the decorations.

Chengxin followed her and smiled, "What are the things Grandma San Shao looking for?"

Chen Muqing lowered his head slightly, looking very shy: "I am idle too. I want to make something for the third young master, but I don't know what to do?"

"You will like whatever you do to the Third Young Master." Chengxin looked at Chen Muqing with a clear look, smiling. "The Third Young Master's clothes are usually made by people in the needle and thread team, and the small items are the sisters in the wife's room to help with it. The needlework of Haruki and Biyun is not as good as that of the sisters in the wife's room."

Chen Muqing nodded slightly, opened the books on the kang and flipped through the books inside: "Are these what the young master usually read?"

Chengxin nodded.

Chen Muqing discovered that there seemed to be something in the book.

She picked it up and saw it was a book of the Book of Songs, which was filled with a half-new fan cover.

Chen Muqing's eyes shrank slightly and he gently picked up the fan cover.

The base is made of stone green brocade, embroidered with grass-green wisteria flowers stems and leaves, and two almost invisible white wisteria flowers are sandwiched. Although it has faded, the silk thread is still bright, and you can tell at a glance that it is the valuable Su thread.

"This set is really exquisite," Chen Muqing looked at the title page that was spread out in front of him - it was the famous song "Jian Jia" in later generations. "I wonder which sister in the wife's house is the craftsmanship?"

Chengxin took a closer look and smiled, "This is what the fifth girl did for our third young master. It has been several years."

"Oh?" Chen Muqing looked at Chengxin and raised his eyebrows.

"The fans collected by the Third Young Master are all written by famous masters, so expensive." Cheng Xin smiled, "That year, I invited the fifth girl to help make the fan cover. There were twelve ones, and there were also peach-red bases, embroidered with green willow branches, and two yellow orioles were resting on it - you said, such a small piece of land had embroidered so many things. When we took them over, our wife was amazed when she saw it!"

Such delicate embroidery, such complicated fancy style, and such exquisite thoughts...

"So beautiful!" Chen Muqing smiled, "Miss Five's hands are so clever!"

"Who said no!" Chengxin smiled, "Every time the third young master wears it, the other young masters will hold him a look for it for a long time. Some asked the third young master to give it to him, and some even asked the third young master to help him make some. But this thing was made by the fifth girl, and it was not allowed to give it to anyone, and I could not ask for it casually. Later, the third young master simply put away the fan cover."

Chen Muqing heard this and pouted slightly: "I was going to embroider a fan cover for the third young master... Since that's the case, take out the other few fan covers and I see it, so as not to make the things embroidered by the fifth girl and I look heavy!"

"It must be heavy." Cheng Xin responded to Chen Muqing, and smiled and turned around and opened the tall cabinet with gilded pineapple wood horns standing by the wall: "I went out with the Third Young Master, and I have never seen anyone's fan cover on his body and the Third Young Master's weight... The fifth girl is good at drawing flowers and birds. The flowers on this cover must have been painted by Miss Wu himself... The fifth girl also made a pair of satin knee pads for the young master's side of grass, pine, bamboo, plum blossoms, and the workmanship was so stupid that even the second girl was stunned... Huh? It turned out that it was still here, why can't I find it!" Cheng Xin looked suspicious.

"Or it's Chunshu, Biyun and the others have put it away!" Chen Muqing said lightly, "Or, you will ask Chunshu and Biyun later."

Chengxin searched carefully again, but still nothing happened.

He couldn't help but say depressed: "I'll ask the two sisters tomorrow and find them for Grandma San."

Chen Muqing took the stone-blue fan cover: "I'll take this first, just cut it to a size. Just don't tell the third young master, I'll send it to you early tomorrow morning."

Chengxin's big black eyes were filled with smiles: "Don't worry, Grandma San, I will definitely not say it out--I will be very happy when the Third Master knew that you had embroidered a fan cover for him..."

*******

Chen Muqing handed the fan cover to Mingxia: "Cut as the size."

Mingxia smiled and took the fan cover: "Oh, who did this? It's so exquisite."

Chen Muqing smiled slightly, without saying a word.

In the middle of the night, a low whimper suddenly came from the east wing.

Spring trees come to knock on Mu Qing’s door.

"Grandma San, the third young master is so kind. Please let the second girl go and have a look!"

Chen Muqing's eyes were as cold as frost, without any trace of warmth: "Can you persuade the second girl to go?"

Haruki was stunned.

Chen Muqing had turned around and called Liang Youhui.

Liang Youhui rubbed her sleepy eyes: "Sister-in-law, don't worry about this matter. My third brother has always had the best temper. Since he lost his temper, Chengxin must have done something that made the third brother extremely annoyed."

Chen Muqing looked at Haruki with a smile: "You heard it too. Go down and rest!"

Haruki looked at Chen Muqing, then looked at Liang Youhui who had fallen asleep. He had tears in his eyes and wanted to say something slightly. Chen Muqing covered his mouth and yawned into the curtain.
