In the evening, Liang Jimin came to pick up Shen Muqing.

Li asked her to go back: "The matter has come to this, and it is useless to take it again." If I have news, I'll have someone tell you. ”

Shen Muqing looked at the camphor wood box placed on the kang head, and then looked at the house with brilliant lights but no sound, and pulled Liang Jimin outside the house to discuss: "Mr. Ouyang hasn't come back yet. I wanted to stay with my wife and wait. You go back first!"

Liang Jimin's face was full of hesitation: "Where is the grandmother 。。。。。?"

"Say what I say to your grandmother. She won't blame you!"

Liang Jimin looked at Shen Muqing, who was full of determination, and thought that Mrs. Tai asked them to ask why Shen Zhen was in prison, so he hesitated for a while before muttering, "Okay."

After sending Liang Jimin away, Shen Muqing patted his cheek, and then turned back to Li's house.

Li Shi was stunned when he saw her, and frowned: "Why haven't you left yet?" What about Ji Min?" Shen Muqing lowered his head slightly: "Ji Min asked me to accompany you here———— talk about grandmother Na Li, there is him!"

Li Shi looked at the two red clouds on the woman's cheeks, and finally showed the first heartfelt smile of the day. At night, the mother and daughter lay side by side.

“...... That afternoon, the old man was demoted to Long'an Mansion in Sichuan as a county magistrate. It's a place I've never heard of. The master left me the three inkstones that had been handed down by the family as five hundred taels of silver, and left without looking back. I cried at home for a day and a night, thinking that if there was a case, I would never see it again. The next morning I chased after it... followed the master in Long'an Mansion for six years. Eat salt vegetables, drink well water, wear coarse cloth, and use clay pots, where your Yin Ge was born. "There was no pain in Li's voice, only a faint sweetness, "I thought I would never come back... Unexpectedly, in the seventh year, the lord was promoted to the prefect of Mianzhou, and his term of office in the prefect of Mianzhou had not yet expired, so he was promoted to the political envoy of Sichuan because of the violent illness of Lord Wang, the political envoy of Sichuan at that time...... I often wonder if if I hadn't chased after me back then, would my lord have been a county magistrate in Long'an Mansion with peace of mind, and everything would start from scratch." These hardships in the past are like medicine, curing Lee's anxiety and fear today, and giving her the confidence and hope to get through the difficulties.

Shen Muqing hugged Li tightly: "Yes, the master will be fine." I still remember when you were a child, you told me that once the lord was demoted to a certain place, but before the person could get started, the holy decree came, and the lord was not only not dismissed, but also promoted. Li squeezed his daughter's hand tightly and said with a smile: "It's the political envoy of Shandong———— apples are produced in that place."

"Hmm!" Shen Muqing nodded, "I heard that you can still see the sea there, is it true?" ”

"Didn't you make it?" There was a smile in Li's voice, "I don't know if there is a sea." However, once the old man came back with a map from the Ministry of Industry, and I looked at it, as if there was a sea, right next door to it."

The two of them were pulling and seeing, and the sky turned white. Aunt Chen came in and served Li to get up.

She looked haggard, and she probably hadn't slept all night.

Li Shi's heart softened when he saw it, and asked her to go back to rest: "... You just take care of the big house, on my side, there is also a personal maid. When Aunt Chen heard this, tears flowed down her eyes: "Madam, you have to think of a way!" The old man is old, how can he still suffer such a sin! If he has three long and two short, who can we count on?"

Li's eyes darkened, and he said abruptly: "I know, I know."

"Also, Mr. Ouyang hasn't come back yet, who knows what he's doing outside?" Aunt Chen's face was panicked, "I see, you still send a few people!" lest we be deceived by these subordinates without knowing our heads. Why don't you call my brother back and help with the dots? ”

When Shen Muqing listened, he remembered Aunt Chen's experience. When she was a girl, her father was degraded, the world was hot and cold, and he had seen it, so he was so worried and afraid! Shen Muqing couldn't help but open his mouth to comfort her: "Auntie, don't be afraid. That Mr. Ouyang has been with the master for thirty years, and he has also come and gone in the wind and rain, if it was only for glory and wealth, he would have left a long time ago, and he would not wait until today. ”

Li Shi nodded straightly, and Aunt Chen's demeanor relaxed a little. Shen Muqing asked Xianglian to help Aunt Chen back to the house, and she personally served the Li family to freshen up.

Just finished freshening up, the big house came to say goodbye. Shen Muqing invited Tian's mother to the side to speak: "Dashe is still young, if there is any movement at home, you take him to avoid it."

Mother Tian nodded with red eyes: "Aunt and grandma, I have experienced it, and the Tao is serious." Shen Muqing couldn't help laughing at himself: I couldn't imagine that the master would have such benefits in marrying a girl who was a criminal official as a concubine, and he had experienced it since he was a child, so he would not be noisy without panic. After sending away Dashe Hetian's mother, Shen Muqing was just about to order the dinner, and Mr. Ouyang came.

Shen Muqing avoided behind the screen.

"Madam, several adults who are close to the master on weekdays have visited, and no one can say why the master sent the edict." There was a thick exhaustion in his voice, "Lord Min entered the palace early yesterday morning and hasn't come back yet.

I left a message for Jinxiu. If Mr. Min comes back, be sure to invite him to your home.

"Thank you!" Li's voice was not polite, "The family is now old, small, and the master's business, so please leave it to you to run errands." ”

"Mrs. really tormented me...... Mr. Ouyang said a few modest words, and then said: "Don't worry too much, madam, I am going to go to Lord Liu Yu Liu of the Hanlin Academy in the afternoon. There is also a trip to the Imperial Palace, Zhao Fu, and Lord Zhao to see what the Imperial Court is impeaching during this time...."

Seeing that he was in order, Li Shi couldn't stop nodding: "Mr. can do what to do, if you need to spend money, just go to Wang Gui to get it."

Mr. Ouyang answered, comforted Li a few words, and then retreated.

Shen Muqing came out from behind the screen and said with a smile: "With Mr. Ouyang's help, don't worry."

Li smiled and nodded, and let out a long sigh. After all, it is a husband and wife for more than forty years...... If you don't release it for a day, you won't be at ease for a day!

Mr. Ouyang ran for two more days and did not find any news in the palace, but a holy word came out from the palace, and Shen Zhen was dismissed from all positions, and the affairs of the cabinet were temporarily presided over by Zhang Gelao, who had just turned 44 this year.

Shen Muqing felt a chill in his heart when he heard this.

The young son of heaven likes to use young officials, which can be seen from the situation of the two champions. Zhang Ge Lao is also the hero of the king of Zhen'an...... If Shen Zhen is released, I don't know if he can withstand this kind of blow.

Seeing this, Mr. Ouyang discussed the Li family: "It's better to directly call the people in the prison to see if you can get some news from the master."

Li took five thousand taels of silver tickets to Mr. Ouyang: "If it's not enough, find me to get it."

The five thousand taels of silver tickets were taken back as they were.

There was no movement from Mr. Min, and Liu Yu didn't know about it.

Li was anxious and gradually lost his spirit.

But Liang Jimin came to pick up Shen Muqing.

"Don't you know why you're in prison?" Liang Jimin was very worried.

Shen Muqing couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Li begged his son-in-law: "Find a way to meet Mr. Min."

Liang Jimin hesitated: "I, I don't know Mr. Min very well."

Shen Muqing listened to the great urgency, and Li's expression was gloomy.

For a while, the atmosphere was heavy.

Liang Jimin realized that he had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly said: "However, please rest assured, mother-in-law, I will try my best to find Mr. Min."

Li smiled noncommittally, but urged his daughter to go back quickly: "Your mother-in-law can let you live at home for two days, it's already lovely." Go back!"

Shen Muqing discussed Liang Jimin again: "Or, I'll wait for the exact news before going back?"

Liang Jimin was very embarrassed: "Grandmother specially asked me to pick you up." If Liang Jimin is resolute, I'm afraid the Li family will be even more worried when he knows about it!

Shen Muqing couldn't find an excuse to stay, so he forced back his tears and returned to the Liang Mansion.

When Mrs. Tai saw her, she said anxiously, "What? Do you know why the in-laws went to prison? Previously, Qing shook her head and flew, and she suddenly thought of Xiao Sa.

Uncle Liang said that Xiao Sa only got along with the horse before he got along with the prince...

She was unwilling to let go as long as she could think of it now, and Shen Muqing begged Mrs. Tai and said, "Can you let the master of the horse help to probe the princess...... If I need to get some points, I'll go back to my parents' house and get them!"

Mrs. Tai's eyelids jumped, and she said with a smile: "Don't worry, the master of the in-laws has helped our family a lot, at this time, we have a strong contribution, and those who have money will contribute, I will let Shuxin go to the Horse Mansion tomorrow to have a look!" Yeyu, Uncle Liang's letter is more reassuring than Liang Jimin's work.

Shen Muqing's heart warmed when he heard this, and he saluted Mrs. Tai gratefully.

Back at Diecui Courtyard, Liang Youhui took her hand and asked, "Has the master released it?" Is there nothing wrong with my wife?"

Shen Muqing looked at her eyes full of heart, and couldn't help but burst into tears, and the forced laughter of the past few days turned into sadness: "No, I haven't released it yet." My wife looked very good, there was no news, and I don't know what happened.7"

Liang Youhui was worried: "It's been four or five days..."

Shen Muqing couldn't answer, he only felt that his cheeks were wet.

Liang Youhui saw that she was injured, so she asked someone to fetch water to wash her face, and personally poured a cup of tea for Shen Muqing.

Shen Mu cleaned his face, took a sip of hot tea, and felt a little more comfortable. I couldn't help sighing: "I'm going to let the second uncle go to the Horse Mansion tomorrow to beg the Horse Master!"

"Why do you ask for cousin?" Liang Youhui was very strange, "He can't take care of the affairs of the court!" Shen Muqing knew that she didn't understand what she had said too much, so she smiled and said, "It's for your cousin to go and find out the emperor's tone." Let's see if we can find out what the master has done, and we can find someone!" Liang Youhui thought for a while and said, "Then we might as well find Wei Shisan, his cousin is a virtuous concubine, and he has more chances than his cousin *** to reach the emperor!"
