Chapter 287: A Gap in the Family
The next day, as soon as the Xiao couple got up, Dashe came over.
"Sister, you can stay here for two days!" He bowed his head and muttered, "I, I'll go back like this." ”
"Got it" Shen Muqing looked at Dashe's cramped appearance and couldn't help but smile slightly. "I'll go and tell the master, you just stay here for two days, relax, and prepare for the next exam when you go back!"
Dashe nodded again and again, his face full of gratitude.
"When will you leave for Taicang?" Xiao Sa saw his uncle like this, and his eyes were full of a thick smile, "When the time comes, I will have someone escort you back!" ”
The ancestral home of the Shen family is in Taicang, and Dashe wants to take the children's test, and he needs to return to his ancestral hometown for the exam.
"I don't know." Dashe's face was slightly red, "The master didn't tell me." ”
"I'll send someone back to ask," Shen Muqing couldn't help but sigh when he saw his submissive look, "You know the specific time, so it's better to prepare early." ”
Da She nodded.
"Then go catch up on your sleep!" Xiao Sa smiled, "I'm a drunk person, and I know what's at stake." ”
Dashe glanced at her sister timidly, and when she saw Shen Muqing smiling, she breathed a sigh of relief and bowed to the two of them.
"He's too cowardly."
Looking at Dashe's back, Xiao Sa couldn't help but worry, "I'm his age, and I've long followed the second master to run the boat." Or, tell the master, it won't work like this. You don't know, at dinner yesterday, Lord Wang knew that he was going to take the children's test, and offered to write a letter to Jiangsu Xuezheng, but Dashe said something about the avoidance system. Lord Wang blushed on the spot. Mu Qing, it doesn't matter if he is young now, if he is old, he will also have such a temper, I am afraid that he will suffer. I can't talk about it, but you still have to worry about it. ”
Shen Muqing didn't expect Dashe to brush Wang Qing's kindness in front of everyone. I couldn't speak for a long time.
Both of them are more good at handling interpersonal relationships, and of course they know how unlikable such a "dumbfounder" is.
Xiao Sa saw that his wife was a little helpless, so he couldn't help but step forward and put his arm around her shoulder: "You don't have to worry too much, I'm watching you horizontally and vertically." Everyone doesn't look at the face of the monk and looks at the face of the Buddha, and they will give some face. ”
Shen Muqing nodded helplessly: "It can't always be like this." I have to talk to the master about it! ”
The husband and wife talked for a while, and seeing that it was not early, Xiao Sa should also go to court, so he stopped the topic. Xiao Sa went to see the child who was still sleeping, and Shen Muqing sent him out.
Dressed the children, went to the fourth wife, and just settled the children and sat down, a little maid next to the fourth wife ran in: "Mrs., madam, the master is here." ”
Count the days, and it should be this time! “
The fourth lady was full of surprise, and hurriedly got up and was helped out by the Huang family.
Shen Muqing also took two children and followed the eleventh master to the second gate.
Compared with the first meeting, the fourth master is a little fatter, and the official authority between his eyebrows is also stronger.
Seeing Shen Muqing and the two children, he showed a kind smile, bent down to talk to Yueying and Ziyang, and it was not until the fourth wife gently urged him to enter the house that he took the children's hands and went to the main house.
The fourth wife served the fourth master to freshen up, Huang instructed the maids to serve tea and prepare meals, and Shen Muqing went to settle the fourth master's entourage and cage.
After the fourth master had eaten, Dashe came to greet the fourth master, and two hours had passed.
"Look at the sky, Xiao Qi should go down, right?" The fourth old man went to the West Lake Longjing built by the Huang family himself, and asked Shen Muqing with a smile.
"Yes!" Shen Muqing replied respectfully, "I have already sent someone to guard Xihua Gate." As soon as the minister arrived, he told him that your old man was here, so as not to delay the entertainment. ”
The fourth master nodded slightly, but said: "It's still the country's social priorities, and you don't need to count this time and a half." As he spoke, he asked the eleventh master again: "What books have you read during this time?" I've done my homework last time. ”
The eleventh master said respectfully: "Recently, I have been reading the "Commentary on the Four Books", and the homework you assigned to me last time has been completed. ”
A hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of the fourth master, and he said with a smile: "The homework is done, bring it to me to see!" ”
The eleventh master went in response and came in with a thick stack of papers.
The fourth master flipped through the pages one by one, with a satisfied expression on his face.
The fourth lady looked at it, her face full of joy.
Looking at the Huang family again, it is a wooden look.
Shen Muqing was slightly surprised.
The fourth master had already asked about the eleventh master's "Annotations to the Four Books", Shen Muqing suppressed the curiosity in his heart, and quietly stood aside to listen to the questions and answers of the fourth master and the eleventh master.
Finally, after the fourth master finished asking, Shen Muqing couldn't help but sigh in his heart: The level of the eleventh master is only a little inferior to her.
The fourth master and the fourth wife may have also felt it, and the two looked at each other without making a sound.
After a while, he said: "You have done a good job in your homework during this time, remember to continue to work hard like this in the future." There was a bit of tiredness in his tone.
The eleventh master showed a relaxed expression and agreed.
The fourth lady shook her head lightly and said, "Master has worked hard all the way, you guys go down, it's enough for me to serve here." ”
Everyone should say "yes", salute, and walk out of the main house.
Shen Muqing thought that Dashe and the two children had been sitting motionless on the small pestle next to him when the fourth master asked the eleventh master, knowing that they were uncomfortable, he explained a few words to the Huang family, and took them back to the house.
She walked not far away, and heard the eleventh master's somewhat triumphant voice behind her: "How is it?" Dad checked my homework and said I studied well! After you, there will be less and more to do. ”
Shen Muqing couldn't help but look back, and saw Huang's face crimson, standing there with a face full of grievances.
I think it's why the two of them have a dispute.
She smiled and shook her head, and took the children back to the house.
Da She said: "That eleventh master, he has done his homework so well, how can he talk about the "Commentary on the Four Books" but it is not smooth?" ”
Shen Muqing took the opportunity to educate him: "This is someone else's business, you just put it in your heart." Don't say it, everyone wants to save face. Don't step on other people's sore spots. ”
"Oh!" Dashe responded a little puzzled, went back to the house with her sister, and played with Yueying and Ziyang.
Shen Muqing looked at his innocent face and couldn't help but shake his head slightly.
Until dusk, Xiao Sa didn't come back, Shen Muqing was very strange, and was about to send someone to ask, Yinliang came back.
"Grandma, check it out." He said in a low voice, "During this time, the eleventh master has been mixed with the seventh young master of the Liu'anhou family in Fangdong, and the prince of Zheng Guogong, and the one who wants to see the master is the seventh young master of the Liu'anhou family." ”
Shen Muqing couldn't help but smile bitterly.
These two people are well-known gentlemen in Kyoto, although they have not done anything to commit adultery, but they come to eat, drink, prostitute and gamble, but anyone who is a little serious can't avoid them. The eleventh master and these two people are mixed together, what other good things can be?
Shen Muqing groaned: "Do you know why you are looking for a master?" ”
Yin Liang pondered for a moment and said: "I heard from a guy in Baihualou that the prince of Zheng Guo once bragged after getting drunk, saying that he was going to do Hyogo business with the Xiao family soon, you see, could it be that he instigated the eleventh master to do business with the military department in the name of the Xiao family!" ”
"If what you hear is the truth, I'm afraid it's the idea." Shen Muqing said slowly, "I know about this matter, you go down!" ”
Yinliang retreated, and Shen Muqing sat alone in the room for a while, until she heard Zao Xiu call her: "The fourth wife ordered the meal." Then he got up and went to the main house.
When Xiao Sa came back, everyone had already had dinner.
After saluting the fourth master, he hurriedly explained: "The emperor left to speak, and then went out of Xihuamen, and when he heard that your old man was coming, he rushed back." ”
"You haven't eaten yet!" The fourth master was very kind to Xiao Sa, "You are also tired for a day, I won't leave for a while, you go down to eat with your daughter-in-law, rest!" If you have anything to say, I'll talk about it tomorrow. ”
Xiao Sa responded: "Yes" and the fourth wife, the eleventh master greeted him for a moment before retreating with Shen Muqing.
Back in the house, Shen Muqing asked the maid to set the meal, and Xiao Sa pulled Shen Muqing to eat a little with him.
"I'm going to the master's place, Ren Xiang promised to leave for Chengfan with Pang Debao early tomorrow morning."
"Cheng Fan?" Shen Muqing was very unfamiliar with this name, and it was even more strange that he lied to the fourth master.
Xiao Sa sighed softly: "In Guizhou." The people we found in Chengpan in Guizhou. ”
Shen Muqing listened with a sour heart, and looked at Xiao Sa speechless.
"What's going on?" Xiao Sa saw that she had a lot on her mind. Hurriedly smiled and shook her hand, "Although it is hard over there, I have a life to stay, listening to Pang Debao's tone, I should have become a relative." When the time comes, we will give them more relief, and it will be the same. ”
His comfort did not make Shen Muqing smile, but looked at Xiao Sa with a faint gaze, and said softly: "You have spent a lot of thought, right?" ”
Xiao Sa was slightly stunned, and then slightly angry: "What are we?" If it weren't for me, how could Dai Gui be so helpful? ”
Shen Muqing couldn't help laughing and scooped him a bowl of wild pigeon soup: "Yes, yes, yes." I was wrong, thanks to our Xiao Sa. "Coax him like a child.
Xiao Sa was very comfortable listening to it, and there was a smile between his eyebrows and eyes.
Shen Muqing looked at him like a child, and thought that he was now in the third rank, and couldn't help but laugh even more happily.
After Xiao Sa finished eating, Shen Muqing told him the results of Yinliang's investigation: "I think, this is not a problem. Kyoto is not as good as other places, and the idle gangs in other places are no matter how powerful, and they are great after being an official eunuch. Kyoto is a lot of princes, one is not good, the accident is small, maybe offend a group of people. ”
Xiao Sa thought for a while and said, "I really made you right." It's not okay to stay in Kyoto. It's even more inappropriate to go back to Shandong. Looks like we're going to have to figure out a way. (End of chapter)
