Chapter 296: Mixed Results

Shen Muqing half-truthfully admonished Xiao Sa, and said with a smile: "Didn't you say that you went to Xishan with Lord Wang to see the courtyard?" How did you come back so soon! ”

"Oh!" Xiao Sa smiled. "Wang Tu has something, so I'll go another day after discussing it."

Shen Muqing served him back to the house to change his clothes, Ziyang came over to greet him, Xiao Sa picked up the child on the kang, and patiently accompanied him to turn over the leaves and play cards, during which he asked her: "Where does the eldest lady live now?" ”

"Living over there in Yong'an Fang," Shen Muqing said with a smile, "I said that I bought a house over there, and I didn't agree to let her old man live in the white paper workshop." It looks like I'm going to stay in Kyoto for a long time. I've sent a few moms to serve. ”

Xiao Sa smiled and flipped a card with Ziyang: "Xiao Chengcheng should make a decision today and tomorrow, and this matter should be decided as soon as possible, so we can get rid of it as soon as possible." Otherwise, if you work both sides like this, where can your body stand it! ”

"I'm not there to serve." After all, the eldest lady and the eldest master are Xiao Sa's biological father and mother, Shen Muqing didn't discuss much and changed the topic, "I asked Tong Yuansheng's buddy to send four mandarin fish, two to the eldest wife, and left two at home." It's rare for you to come back so early today, I'll have those two fish steamed! ”

"Okay!" Xiao Sa smiled and said, "Call Master Chang too, you bring us the altar of Jinhua wine again, and I will drink two cups with him." ”

Shen Muqing smiled and left.

As soon as I went out, I met the little maid who greeted me: "Grandma, there is a mother over there for Old Lady Shen!" ”

At this time?

Shen Muqing was slightly stunned, and hurriedly called the little maid: "Let people come in." ”

The little maid turned around to invite someone, and Shen Muqing whispered to the little maid next to him to go to the kitchen to spread the word, and let Ying Fan go to invite Chang Hui.

After a while, Shen Muqing saw Tian's mother walking in with a smile on her face. She saluted Shen Muqing from a distance, and when she got closer, she said with a smile: "Grandma, our Aunt Chen invites you to come to the house for a banquet tomorrow." As he spoke, he took a copy and posted it.

Shen Muqing was very strange.

Tian's mother said in a low voice: "It's the young master who is back." My aunt wanted to invite a few good families to get together, and everyone was lively. ”

Shen Muqing accepted the post and asked Tian's mother to reward her, and Tian's mother was in a hurry to go back: "I still have to go to Mrs. Min to make a post, I will retire first." ”

She nodded, and the little maid led her back.

Shen Muqing took the invitation into the house and showed it to Xiao Sa: "I don't know what it means?" ”

"Whatever it means, you prepare a congratulatory gift, and then bring some more silver taels, and act when the time comes."

Shen Muqing nodded, and after sending Xiao Sa away early the next morning, he dressed up. Then I brought a set of four treasures of the study as a gift, and took the child to the petrochemical bridge.

When she returned to her parents' house, she first took the child to ask Shen Zhen for peace.

Shen Zhen had a calm face: "She really did it." It's just a little showman, and he is going to invite someone to come to his house to eat and drink, and listen to the church. I think that back then, when we were promoted in the examination, I only felt that we finally lived up to the expectations of our fathers, and as for such a big operation, I didn't dare to think of it. ”

As he was talking, he heard that Shen Muqing was coming back.

He smiled and could see that he was in a good mood.

Hearing Shen Zhen's complaint, Dashe's eyes sank, and he greeted Shen Muqing with some restraint: "Sister, you're here!" ”

Shen Muqing greeted Dashe with a smile, and the two children ran over in a hula. Dashe breathed a sigh of relief, took the two children by the hand, and hurried away under the pretext of taking them down.

"Master" Although Shen Muqing's opinion is the same as Shen Zhen's, but now that the matter is now, she can only adjust, "Auntie is just using this matter to find an excuse for everyone to get together." You don't have to take it too seriously, if your aunt wanted to show off, she would have sent out invitations a long time ago. ”

Shen Zhen sighed: "You go!" Jingshu is looking forward to your coming! ”

Shen Muqing enlightened Shen Zhen a few more words, and then went to Shi Jingshu.

Brother Tai is already going to turn over. Seeing Shen Muqing, Shi Jingshu asked the child to be taken out: "Mu Qing, I have something I want to discuss with you." ”

Seeing Shi Jingshu so solemn, Shen Muqing couldn't help but be stunned: "What's the matter with Sister Jingshu?" ”

The corners of Shi Jingshu's mouth twitched slightly, and she hesitated for a while before saying, "We want to go back to Nanjing to live for a while." ”

Shen Muqing was stunned.

Going back to Nanjing to live for a while is just a euphemism! Shi Jingshu wants to go back to Nanjing!

Shi Jingshu's face showed a look of shame: "The most difficult time for me was when you took me in, and I promised you that I would accompany the master, but I heard that my grandfather's health is getting worse and worse, so I want to go back and have a look." As he spoke, tears welled up in his eyes.

"Sister, don't do this!" Shen Muqing hurriedly shook Shi Jingshu's hand, "Old lady Shi is not in good health, my sister should also go back to have a look." ”

"I promised you to take care of my master."

"Where did my sister say?" Shen Muqing said with a smile, "If it wasn't for my sister helping me take care of my master, where would I be able to go to Luding with Xiao Sa with peace of mind, my sister is saying this now, wouldn't it make me feel ashamed." As he spoke, he asked Shi Jingshu, "When is my sister going to leave?" I'll help clean it up when the time comes! ”

"There is no date set yet." No matter how Shen Muqing comforted her, Shi Jingshu still felt embarrassed, "I want to discuss with you first." ”

"I'll tell you, sir." Shen Muqing pulled her out with a smile, "My sister has returned to Nanjing, and there are fewer opportunities for us to meet." Take advantage of today's opportunity to have fun. ”

"Yes! Shi Jingshu's tone was a little stunned, "I'm afraid it's rare to meet in the past few years." β€œ

"That's not a happy one."

The two went to the flower hall together.

Mrs. Min had already arrived, and was chatting with a woman about thirty-five or sixteen years old, when she saw Shen Muqing coming in, she hurriedly smiled and beckoned to her: "Mu Qing, come and meet, this is my sixth sister-in-law, Wen Hui's mother." β€œ

Min Wenhui is the name of Dashe's fiancΓ©e.

Shen Muqing was a little surprised, and hurriedly stepped forward with a smile and saluted, and glanced at the woman.

With beautiful facial features and a kind smile, she looks like a very gentle woman.

Shen Muqing couldn't help but nod secretly.

With such a mother, the daughter should not be far behind!

The woman hurriedly got up and returned the salute.

Mrs. Min explained with a smile: "The emperor heard about the name of the sixth brother, and specially invited him to Beijing to talk to the prince for three days. The sixth sister-in-law followed the sixth brother into Beijing, and just as my aunt was having a treat, I brought her here. β€œ

"Should, should." Shen Muqing smiled enthusiastically, "Thank you, Madame, for helping our family invite a distinguished guest." β€œ

Shi Jingshu also joined in the fun: "At home, I often hear Dashe talk about how well Mrs. Min treated him well when he was in Xiangshan, but he has never had the opportunity to meet. β€œ

"The two aunts and grandmothers are polite."

Everyone laughed kindly, and someone came in: "Mrs. Min! β€œ

The people in the house followed the voice, and saw a richly dressed woman in her forty years standing under the curtain with a smile and a groan.

Mrs. Min looked puzzled and said, "You are." ”

The woman stepped forward and saluted: "The slave Chen Zhu family, the prime minister Chen Ke, is in the Ministry of Officials." ”

Mrs. Min looked suddenly enlightened: "It turned out to be Mrs. Chen." You're here today! ”

Mrs. Chen was very attentive: "Yes, I heard that you are here, so I specially came to say hello to you." As he spoke, he looked at the others in the room, "These are the people." ”

Mrs. Min introduced with a faint expression.

Mrs. Chen saluted Shen Muqing and the others: "I didn't expect to meet a noble person here." ”

Everyone stood up and returned the salute.

"I also heard from our master a few days ago that Master Min's sixth cousin is a famous person in Jiangnan. Indifferent to fame and fortune, hidden in the countryside, and happy to teach and educate people. I was amazed. Unexpectedly, I met Mrs. Min. Mrs. Chen complimented Mrs. Min.

Mrs. Min was slightly stunned, and smiled to entertain: "Our father-in-law introduced cloth clothes, and Mrs. Chen praised it." ”

"Mrs. Min is modest." Mrs. Chen smiled, "Mr. Min is a person who even the emperor praises. After speaking, she looked at Shen Muqing and said with a smile: "I often come to the house to walk around, and I haven't met my aunt and grandmother once." I heard that Lord Xiao wants to buy a separate courtyard in Xishan? ”

Shen Muqing was stunned.

Xiao Sa's decision to buy a private courtyard in Xishan was only decided in the past few days, how did Mrs. Chen know?

The thought flashed, and Mrs. Chen said, "That place is good." Not to mention the beautiful scenery, the most important thing is that the feng shui is good. You know King Qin, right? ”

The emperor's half-brother, one of the hottest candidates for the emperor at the time!

Everyone nodded.

"Every time the weather changes, my toes hurt, and the link can't go. I don't know how many famous doctors I have seen and how many secret recipes I have taken, but I just can't do it. Later, the emperor rewarded a house in Xishan to the prince. Don't say it, the prince's toe headache will be cured. Not only is it good, but it is also as fast as a fly, and can pull a five-stone bow. Mrs. Chen became more and more energetic the more she spoke, "Pavilion elder Hu Xinhu, the ladies are also familiar with each other, right?" His old man also bought an annex in Xishan.

There is also Yu Shilang from the household department, and Lord Lu from the Metropolitan Inspection Academy, "she is like a treasure," they all bought another courtyard in Xishan. ”

Several people couldn't help but sweat their sideburns when they heard this.

This Mrs. Chen knows too much!

Everyone couldn't help but laugh.

"Mrs. Xiao, if you want to buy another courtyard in Xishan, why don't I introduce one." Mrs. Liu moved her body and got closer to Shen Muqing, "It turns out that the Hanlin Academy is waiting to be spoken, have you heard of it?" He married the widow of Lord Han, the former political secretary of Henan. Now that he has resigned and returned to his hometown, the house has not been sold. ”

Hanlin Academy Chen to speak, Lord Han.

Shen Muqing remembered that it was the couple who were laughed at by Mrs. Liu Jin.

"I remember that it has been two or three years since Chen Beijiao returned to his hometown, right?" Mrs. Min took a sip of tea from the teacup and said with a smile, "What? Hasn't his house been sold yet? The tone was quite displeased, and I felt that Mrs. Chen was talking long and short, pulling east and west, not like the wife of the official family, but like a woman who went to a hundred schools.

"Chen Zhijiao and his wife rebelled against the township two years ago." Mrs. Chen hurriedly explained, "The price of the house is a bit high, so it has not been sold. However, the house is really well repaired. I also have some friendship with Mrs. Chen, and if Mrs. Xiao wants to buy it, I can talk about it. If Mrs. Xiao doesn't believe it, you can also ask Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Wang told me about your family buying a yard. Mrs. Wang was also entrusted by Lord Wang, and then asked me to help me look around. It was also me who was anxious, and when I met the original owner, I said it. (End of chapter)
