Chapter 9 Accidents

Chen Muqing is still very concerned about Chen Yuerong's fate.

No matter what era a woman is in, it is a very painful thing to marry, and it may even affect a person's fate.

She took the West Lake Longjing from Chengxiang's hand and handed it to Li, and smiled and said, "Madam, what's wrong with Sister Yue?"

Li took the tea and smiled bitterly, "Let's talk about it when Lin Jincai comes back. First, I can't listen to her one-sided words, and second, I have to try to persuade the master. No matter what, those things are the grudges of our previous generation after all, and we can't report to the children."

Chen Muqing agreed very much after hearing this, nodded repeatedly, flattering Li, saying, "Mrs. He is really good at doing everything."

Mrs. Li smiled and said, "It's just to make me happy again!"

"No. What I'm telling is the truth!" Chen Muqing acted coquettishly.

Li smiled and said, "Since that's the case, from tomorrow, you can follow me to learn how to butler!"

Chen Muqing was very surprised.

The wife in the family was in charge of the business and listened to the instructions every morning, and Chen Muqing's schoolwork was also arranged in the morning, so Li never wanted Chen Muqing to help the housekeeper.

Mrs. Li looked at her daughter and smiled: "You are thirteen years old after the New Year. You have to learn some things. Last night, the master and I discussed it. After hearing this, the master agreed. In two days, he will go to Mr. Min to tell you that your class in Jingshunzhai will be temporarily stopped."

Li was obviously prepared, but Chen Zhen agreed to let Mr. Min resign from his position as a seat... This really surprised Chen Muqing, especially when she learned about the intimate relationship between the two.

She was stuttering: "How could this happen... Did the master really say that...Mr. Min, does he know..."

Mrs. Li thought that her daughter could not accept such a decision for the time being, and explained with a smile: "The master said that Mr. Min is noble in character and knowledgeable, and is a genius who is not born. It is a pity to spend it in our family like this. I am going to lobby Mr. Min to participate in next year's spring examination."

Participating in the spring exam? Is it necessary to be a Jinshi from two lists? Is it for the purpose of discussing in Jiusizhai? Or, this matter has been decided long ago, just waiting for an opportunity... But when I hear Mr. Min's tone, I often express the idea of ​​"Article is good forever, and the career is prosperous for a while." Why did it suddenly change after saying something changes... Or, it is false to say that he is unwilling to be an official, but in fact, he wants Jiang Taigong to fish and take advantage of Shen Zhen to take office, so he came to the Shen family to attend the hall...

Chen Muqing's thoughts were a little messy and said perfunctorily: "Mr. Min taught his daughter for five years and suddenly wanted to leave. My daughter was still a little reluctant."

"I know!" Li took Chen Muqing's hand and patted her gently, as if this would comfort her emotions. "You can't even give up the old things you have used, let alone the gentleman who enlightens you. Muqing, don't be sad. If you really like reading, when the spring comes next year, we will invite someone to come to the house to attend the restaurant. It will definitely not be smaller than Mr. Min."

There are many things that cannot be looked at on the surface.

Who knows what is inside of this that I don’t know?

Chen Muqing was in a mess and nodded randomly.

Seeing that his daughter was not very relieved, Li smiled and said, "How about I go and talk to the master again. If Mr. Min fails, will we invite him to the house to attend the restaurant?"

This cautious tone, afraid that she would be unhappy, made Chen Muqing feel warm in her heart, and she felt like she was being held in her palm like a treasure.

In fact, in another time and space, she had a twin brother. The two were as old as the two, and she left the field after ten months, but her brother did not walk until she was one year old. Grandma pointed at her and said, "I must have been trying to make a living outside and I cannot be filial to my parents." At that time, she thought it was grandma's partiality. Who knew that she stayed in the city where she studied, but her brother returned to her hometown, married and had children, and loved her parents. Later, when she encountered such an incredible thing, she couldn't help but believe it. She had an arrangement in the dark - she and her biological parents were not destined to be together!

Thinking of this, I became closer to Li, and I treated her like a mother in my heart.

Chen Muqing's heart was as warm and soft as the winter sunshine was shining.

She made various speculations about Mr. Min and smiled and said, "Of course, Mr. Min's future is important. Here is my daughter, it's up to the arrangements of the master and his wife."

Seeing Chen Muqing's smile brightly, Li felt a little relieved.

Thinking of her own thoughts, she smiled and said, "You have been smart since childhood, and Aunt Du often mentions the matter on the needle. You have not had the skill of yours for ten years, but you can't do anything about the skill in this stove. In the future, you must learn from your wife who is Jincai... and I won't worry."

"What are you worried about?" Chen Muqing said in confusion, "Don't worry, I know how to raise the fire, I won't eat raw rice and raw meat!"

Li and Wang’s mother were both smiling aside, and Mu Qing was even more surprised.

"Okay, okay, it's getting late, I won't pull you anymore. Go to Mr. Min's place!" Li looked at his daughter's stunned look and smiled so hard that he leaned back and forth.

Chen Muqing went out in confusion.

*******

When we arrived at Jingshunzhai, before we arrived at the beginning of the Si period, Mr. Min was already sitting in front of the desk in the main hall.

This year, he wore a stone-blue-shaped silk-shaped hair, his black hair was tied with a green bamboo hairpin, and his handsome face was calm, unlike the usual cheerful and brightness, and his whole body looked elegant and calm.

This is Mr. Min who Chen Muqing is not familiar with...or, he has never known Mr. Min...

Chen Muqing thought, bent his knees and bowed to Mr. Min. Mr. Min gently bowed his head and returned the gift. The two sat down through the pile of yarn and painted screens. Mr. Min then began to give lectures to Chen Muqing yesterday.

Five years of life are not long or short... Chen Muqing looked at Mr. Min's handsome side, and felt very complicated, and he sounded a little absent-minded in class.

I don’t know what kind of scene this farewell will be.

Mr. Min was obviously a little distracted. As he spoke, he paused, then he thought for a while and continued to speak.

It seems that Chen Zhen should have discussed the matter of attending the restaurant with Mr. Min, and Mr. Min also made the decision to leave...

Chen Muqing sighed, and felt that the class was even more heartbreaking.

Soon, early afternoon arrived.

Mr. Min stood up and did not leave straight as usual. Instead, he looked at Chen Muqing quietly through the yarn painting screen for a long time and said, "Miss must have heard from his wife. I want to participate in next year's spring exam and will temporarily move to the Wisteria Courtyard to review the book... From tomorrow, Jingshunzhai's class will be temporarily stopped."

Chen Muqing was stunned.

The Wisteria Courtyard is a three-entrance courtyard in Songshu Hutong next to the Petrochemical Bridge in Kyoto. It is named after the two wisteria trees that have been built in the courtyard for a hundred years. The government offices of the Six Ministry, Third Court, Five Army Governor’s Office are all next to it. This courtyard is of great historical significance to the Shen family. It was Chen Zhen’s grandfather who was appointed as the Minister of Works. Later, the descendants of the Shen family rose and fell in the officialdom and were promoted and demoted. No matter what, they never pushed the house out. But now, this house is living with Mr. Min... Is there any special significance in this?

Chen Muqing stared at Mr. Min, trying to see a hint of clue from his expression, but Mr. Min looked calm and could not see anything unusual.

"It's a pity that the Analects of Confucius has not been finished, and the "Sound and Rhyme Enlightenment" is not taught..." Mr. Min's voice was not excited about spreading his wings, but instead he was faintly tired. "But this might be better..." Then Mingshan asked him to give Chen Muqing a copy of the words, "It's our master and apprentice, so leave a memory..."

Luo Mei went forward to pick up the thing. Chen Muqing opened it and saw that it turned out to be a post from Mrs. Wei.

It seemed that he had smashed and smashed all the things he had insisted on before and abandoned them...

Chen Muqing was thinking randomly.

The more I think about it, the more I feel something is strange, and the more I think about it, the more I feel uneasy.

However, Mr. Min had already sighed and asked Mingshan to take a few items he usually uses, and turned around and left.

Jinxiu suddenly rushed out from behind Chen Muqing. She looked at Mr. Min’s background with a white face. Her delicate voice was sharp and harsh: “Girl, I, I want to clean my hands.”

Chen Muqing was slightly stunned.

Jinxiu couldn't wait, and before Chen Muqing could express anything, she ran out with the hem of her skirt.

Luo Mei's face changed drastically: "Girl, I'm going too." As she said that, she hurriedly followed her out.

Chen Muqing stared at the large blue and white lotus pattern jar that was once filled with Mr. Min's calligraphy and paintings, and walked out with his lips pursed.

Luo Mei was holding Jinxiu between her waist, and the two of them were pulling and pulling under the eaves.

Chen Muqing hurried back to the house and tiptoed to the window of Xiji room.

Glass was still a rare thing in the Great Zhou Dynasty. The Shen family only used glass in Chaoxitang and Anyuan. The main houses of Rongyintang were built. Other houses were still equipped with two-story windows, with windows outside, and paper pasted on the inside.

Chen Muqing gently pushed open the window bin with lattice paper inside, and put his ear on the carved window lattice. Then he heard Luo Mei say aggressively: "...You are not allowed to go... What can you do if you go... If he had you in his heart, he would have asked the master for you long ago... Let the wife know, we can't get rid of it..."

Jinxiu just didn't answer.

Luo Mei begged bitterly: "My good sister, just listen to me! Don't say that Mr. Min is over 10 years older than you, I'm afraid that Mr. Min has a wife long ago. Even when it's time to be released, the wife has to make the decision and will never tolerate someone being a private partner... You should just calm down... Seven years ago, have you not listened to the mothers... Just because the girl fell down, there were 26 serving in the girl's house, and even the wet nurses were sold... You don't want to think about these sisters in our room for anything else..."
