After finishing this, it was already dark, and the mother in charge came to ask Shen Muqing about the dinner, and Shen Muqing was busy explaining the relevant matters of the dinner. Liang Youhui had been watching quietly from the side, and when the mother in charge was gone, she looked at Shen Muqing with admiration: "You are one year younger than me, how can you know so many things!" ”

"Learn from my wife!" Shen Muqing said sincerely. In a blink of an eye, I thought of Li's illness and a splendid future...... She couldn't help but look gloomy.

Of course, Liang Youhui didn't know the reason for Shen Muqing's change of mood, and thought that he was tired, so he said with concern: "Do you want to lie down, and I'll call you when we eat?" ”

Even if you're really tired, you can't lie down in front of the guests.

Shen Muqing smiled: "It's okay! It's okay! ”

Liang Youhui showed sympathy: "My grandmother is like this - she is radiant in front of others, but when she leaves, she looks like she is ten years old!" ”

Shen Muqing was a little strange.

It stands to reason that the Liang family is a hereditary marquis, and Liang Yuan is a good person, so what else does Old Madam Liang have to mind, she has to maintain a tough image in front of outsiders...... However, every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, and who knows what's wrong with it!

Shen Muqing shook his head lightly and decided not to think much about the Liang family.

Liang Youhui walked behind Shen Muqing and massaged her neck and spine: "I often massage my grandmother like this!" ”

Although he didn't need it, Shen Muqing was still touched a little.

******

The dinner went smoothly that day, and when it was time to hold the lights, the guests said goodbye one after another.

Shen Muqing helped Li to stand at the corner gate to see off the female dependents.

Qin Wei's wife took Shen Muqing's hand with a smile: "The more I look at it, the more I like it...... Good looking, and knows how to manage the family, and filial piety...... Mrs. Shen, this one of yours is worth ten of other families! ”

Li smiled and greeted her: "This is Madame's lift!" ”

"You're too modest!" Qin Wei's wife smiled. Then Zhengse said: "If Mrs. decides the time to go to the temple, just come and report it, and don't be polite to me." ”

Li smiled and nodded: "Then it will be troublesome Madame!" ”

Qin Wei's wife smiled: "No trouble, no trouble!" I can't ask for it! ”

As he spoke, he exchanged a look with Hu Xin's wife, and then Shi Xuanran got on the warm sedan chair.

When Liang Yuan's wife said goodbye, it was a different scene.

Liang Youhui took Shen Muqing's hand: "Sister, don't forget to give me orchids!" As he spoke, he squeezed Shen Muqing's hand vigorously.

I don't know if it's pinched! It's just a reminder, and you don't need to do it!

Shen Muqing sneered in his heart, but a smile appeared on his face: "Sister, don't worry, I'll send it early tomorrow morning!" ”

Liang Yuan's wife looked at it and smiled apologetically at Li's family: "A few children in our family, this one is the most stupid, Mrs. Tai has raised her by her own side, and she has not seen any growth, so don't be surprised by Mrs. ......"

Li smiled politely: "The children are the same age, and they can talk together." ”

"This is also the fate of two children!"

Li smiled and nodded, the corners of Liang Yuan's wife's mouth were slightly twitched, as if she was going to say something, and there were ladies on the side who came to say goodbye to Li, Mrs. Liang Yuan smiled and closed her mouth, and when the ladies and Li finished arguing, she also smiled and went away with those ladies.

After sending off the guests, it was already completely dark, but Shen Muqing couldn't rest. The first is that the mother in charge wants to take care of the matter, the second is to pair the various account books in and out with the real thing, to see if there is anything missing, and who is responsible, and the third is to cheer up the people who do the work, and when they are done, it is the middle of the night. Maybe she was tired, she couldn't sleep well when she went to bed, and she didn't squint until the sky turned white, and then she personally went to the greenhouse with Ying Fan to order the orchids to be sent to the Liang family, and then went to the Li family house to ask for peace.

Because she went a little late, when she arrived at Chaoxi Hall, Shen Yuerong, Dashe, and Tian's mother were going out, and everyone met, saluted, and greeted each other. Shen Yuerong said with a smile: "I heard that the second girl of the Dingyuan Marquis Liang family came to the house yesterday as a guest?" ”

Shen Muqing nodded.

Shen Yuerong said angrily: "Why don't you call me to go-we two sisters together, you don't have to lose money to Miss Liang." ”

Shen Muqing only felt a headache, wishing that this sister would go back to Taicang earlier.

"My sister is a guest, how can I be alarmed!" She replied to her in a vague tone, and then went to Lee's house.

When Li saw Shen Muqing, his eyebrows and eyes were smiling. Pulled her onto the kang, touched her head and sighed: "Our Mu Qing has grown up, and he can still perform without me by his side." ”

Shen Muqing saw that her tone was quite stunned, thinking that she had an empty nest plot, so he hurriedly smiled and comforted her: "If my wife didn't support me behind my back, how could I have such a big heart." ”

Li looked at Shen Muqing dotingly, and patted her hand gently as if comforting: "Don't worry, I will always support you behind your back." ”

As he was talking, a little maid brought a horse nai made of ghee and white sugar, and Li took it and handed it to Shen Muqing with his own hands, saying, "I know you don't like this taste, but this thing is a nourishment, you remember to drink it every day." ”

Shen Muqing answered, and drank it all like medicine.

Seeing this, Li pursed his lips and smiled, and said, "Fruits should also be eaten often, and talents are smart!" ”

Shen Muqing nodded again and again: "Got it!" ”

"Plain clothes have plain elegance, but gaudy clothes also have gorgeous joy. Sometimes, don't be stubborn! ”

Shen Muqing nodded.

"It's troublesome to be full of pearls, but you can't afford not to wear it. Since you wear it, be more generous, don't be afraid of losing it. ”

Shen Muqing's face was slightly red.

Thinking about the value of those jewels, she was really afraid of losing them...... In the final analysis, she still has more consciousness in her bones!

"All the sons have to learn, but the backgammon can't do it."

Shen Muqing responded again.

But I wondered in my heart: What's wrong with the Li family today, speaking such strange words, as if he was explaining what was going on!

The thought flashed, Shen Muqing's heart palpitated, and he was thinking about whether to probe the Li family's tone, but there was a little maid outside and said, "Steward Lin has come to ask Mrs. for peace!" ”

Did Lin Jincai, who went to Taicang, come back?

In this way, Shen Yuerong's matter should have a result!

Shen Muqing listened, breathed a sigh of relief, and got up to avoid it, but Li said: "You little girl who is not in time - sit down for me!" ”

This wasn't the case with the Lee family before......

Although she had doubts, she sat down in despair at the thought that Steward Lin would bring news of her hometown in Taicang.

Steward Lin came in and saw Shen Muqing and Li sitting side by side on the big kang, and an unexpected expression flashed across his face. He respectfully saluted the Li family and Shen Muqing, and congratulated the Li family for Shen Zhen's promotion.

Li smiled and dismissed all the servants around him, and asked Steward Lin: "What happened to Taicang?" ”

Steward Lin said respectfully: "Everyone is grateful to the master and the wife for their tuyi, and several elders in the clan also came out to accuse the second master of not being right." ”

"What did the second master say about Yuerong?"

Steward Lin said euphemistically: "The second master said that he owes Uncle Ren five thousand taels of silver...... I can't talk about the divorce! ”

Li Shi was furious: "This old man doesn't cultivate! ”

Steward Lin hurriedly lowered his head, and Shen Muqing hurriedly poured a glass of water for the Li family.

Li Shi took a sip of hot tea, suppressed his anger, and said, "That Ren family's splash, you can see it!" ”

Steward Lin hesitated for a moment, and replied in a low voice, "I've seen it."

"Tell me about it!" Lee's tone was very disdainful.

Steward Lin replied unexpectedly: "That Uncle Ren came to Kyoto with his slaves, and he was outside the door and wanted to see his wife." ”

Li and Shen Muqing were surprised.

"This Uncle Ren is dignified, can speak well, and acts a little boldly." Steward Lin recalled, "The night I went to Taicang, I posted a post to invite me to dinner, I remembered my wife's instructions, I didn't dare to come outside, and I didn't agree five times." As a result, when I came back, Uncle Ren actually arrived at the ship before me, and only found out when the ship was fifty miles away...... No matter what the slave said, Uncle Ren insisted on coming to Kyoto with me. He also said that he would like to come to see his uncle...... The slave really couldn't help him, so he had to ...... with him" As he spoke, Steward Lin had a very embarrassed expression on his face.

Li really didn't have a good impression of this "Uncle Ren", so he snorted softly and said, "He knows that Yuerong is in our house." ”

Steward Lin hurriedly said: "The slave didn't dare to reveal a word. ”

Li Shi smiled coldly: "If you don't say it, it's hard to guarantee that others won't say it, and others won't guess." As he spoke, he called Mother Wang to come in.

"You go and tell Wang Fu, saying that there are many guests at home these days, and I won't see the person surnamed Ren. Let him be led out to pass a meal, and don't let him in. ”

Wang's mother left in response.

Steward Lin looked embarrassed.

Li turned a blind eye and asked Steward Lin: "How is Yuerong in her mother's house?" ”

Steward Lin said: "Everyone says that the fourth girl is shrewd and capable, and when the second wife is here, she can be the whole family." ”

Li nodded, pondering for a long time.

Shen Muqing saw that although Steward Lin was neatly dressed and had a clean appearance, his expression was full of exhaustion, knowing that he was tired from the boat and car during this time, he reminded Li softly: "Madam, Steward Lin has worked hard all the way, let him go back and rest!" ”

Li Shi suddenly said in a daze: "Manager Lin, you go down and rest!" ”

Manager Lin glanced at Shen Muqing gratefully, bowed and retreated.

Li looked at Shen Muqing hesitantly, looking like he wanted to say something.

Shen Muqing smiled: "What does my wife want to tell me, can't I open my mouth?" ”

Li suddenly smiled at her.

In that smile, there was something strange that Shen Muqing didn't know.

"Tomorrow is the fifteenth, and Mrs. Hu asked me to go to the temple for fasting. Do you want to go? ”

Shen Muqing was stunned.

"Last time, I was careless." Li sighed faintly, "I thought that at the foot of the Son of Heaven and in the important land of Gyeonggi, the Yaowang Temple is a small temple, and there are usually no people to go, and the people from top to bottom are familiar, but I didn't expect that the more this is the case, the more ......accidents will happen."
