Chapter 254: One Man Attains the Way

"I know......" Xiao Sa hesitated. 【】(Hand beating) "Don't ask for dignitaries...... I'm not sure...... Keep your family safe! ”

"You can ask for it, but you can't force it!" Shen Muqing sighed softly, "We don't fall behind, and we don't stand on the cusp, can we?" ”

Xiao Sa looked at his wife's eyes full of hope, and he couldn't say anything if he refused. After a long silence, he said in a low voice: "Let's listen to the master, do you think it's okay?" ”

Shen Muqing's brain turned quickly, nodded slightly, and turned around to explain to Pang Debao: "Master has a letter, show it to me first." ”

Pang Debao was a little hesitant.

"High risk leads to high returns." Shen Muqing tried to convince him, "I just want to live in peace." ”

Pang Debao pondered for a long time and said, "Can the young master return to Lincheng?" Or, stay in Jinzhou. ”

"Yes." With Pang Debao's support, Shen Muqing had a smile on his face, "As long as the minister is willing, we can stay in Jinzhou if we want to, and we can return to Lincheng if we want to return to Lincheng." ”

Pang Debao did not make a sound, and walked away.

Shen Muqing breathed a sigh of relief and soon received Shen Zhen's letter.

She was overjoyed and sent the letter to Xiao Sa: "The master said to let you brake quietly." ”

Xiao Sa was slightly stunned. After taking the letter, he read it carefully twice: "...... Static braking! ”

Shen Muqing nodded: "Although the Praetorian Guards were placed under house arrest in the South Palace on the order of the Emperor Taishang, the elders of the pavilion led by Wang Shengyun and others opposed the restoration of the Emperor Taishang on the grounds of 'incompatibility with etiquette', and Mr. Min, Wang Qing and others supported the restoration of the Emperor Taishang on the grounds of 'Baishun filial piety first, respecting the last wishes of the emperor'. On the side of the military department, Shilang Shijin is against the restoration of Emperor Taishang, and Shangshu Dai Shenghui has not expressed his position, the situation in the DPRK and China is too complicated, we can only wait and see what happens, and then make plans. ”

Xiao Sa rubbed Shen Zhen's letter and muttered, "Now it's up to the Dai family to decide." ”

Shen Muqing was puzzled for a while.

Xiao Sa explained: "The Emperor Taishang has mastered the Xishan camp and the Praetorian Guard, and the closest guard to Kyoto is Liaodong in the east and Xuantong in the west. ”

"If the Dai family decides to support the Emperor Taishang, there is the Xishan camp and the Praetorian Guard inside, and the Liaodong Guard Station echoes from afar, no matter what the attitude of the ministers is, they will be safe from the overall situation." Shen Muqing understood, "If the Dai family supports Jinshang, Xuantong and Liaodong will go down with an army in the east and west, and it is still inconclusive who will kill the deer." ”

"That's exactly what it is." Xiao Sa nodded, "Master's idea couldn't be more right." We packed our things and went back to Shanghai. At this time, it is even more important to be a low-key talent. ”

"Now that the situation is special, do you want to send someone to talk to the old lady," Shen Muqing muttered. "There is something to do, and there is someone to take care of."

"No!" Xiao Sa said, "Just contact Zheng Sanye if you have something." ”

It seems that Xiao Sa trusts the Zheng family more.

Shen Muqing hurriedly instructed Mingxia to pack her luggage, explain the situation to the eldest lady and Zheng San's grandmother, and took Yueying to bid farewell to the elders of the Zheng family.

The eldest lady was very worried, she couldn't eat or sleep well along the way, Shen Muqing served wholeheartedly on the side, and the eldest lady thought that she was pregnant, so she had to cheer up and talk and laugh with Shen Muqing to cover up her uneasiness.

When passing by Ya'an Mansion, Xiao Sa went to see Master Peng as originally planned, showed the accounts of the rice shop to Master Peng, and talked about some things that had happened in the officialdom in recent days. Mr. Peng didn't know anything about Kyoto's movements. Xiao Sa's heart was even more anxious to return to Shanghai, and he chatted with Master Peng for a few more gossips before getting up and saying goodbye.

As soon as they returned to Huding, they received letters from the eldest Xiao Biao, the third Xiao Biao, the fifth Xiao Hurricane and Xiao Cheng, all mentioning the changes in Kyoto and full of confidence that Xiao Sa would be reactivated.

Xiao Sa only stared at Xiao Cheng's letter for a while.

"What's wrong?" In the past few days, Shen Muqing has been paying attention to Xiao Sa's emotions.

"It was the eldest uncle who asked Xiao Cheng to write it." There was indescribable sadness in Xiao Sa's tone.

Seeing my biological father and half-brother so close...... No matter how strong a person is, there will be a moment of sadness!

Shen Muqing hugged Xiao Sa tightly from behind.

Xiao Sa patted Shen Muqing's hand, and the two stood still for a long time.

******

Huding is still calm. Xiao Sa and Shen Muqing both cheered up and paid attention to the movements of Ya'an.

At this time, Li's mother came to Shen Muqing to talk about Yuegui: "...... I looked at Mr. Guo as a man of outstanding character. If you don't get involved, you see, can we Yuegui and Mr. Guo's business be accomplished? ”

Shen Muqing was stunned.

Mother Li sneered: "I'm half a person who is about to enter the ground, but our laurel has a long life." Mr. Guo is a scholar, unlike us. If he agrees, I will give me some grain and rice every month in the future, and Yuegui will let him marry him and go home! ”

Love children is the same!

Shen Muqing couldn't help but pull Li's mother's hand: "You are my mother, so naturally I will support the elderly." If you have a bowl of rice with me, you will have a bowl of rice, and you don't have to worry about the future. ”

Mother Li's tears fell, and she choked up and shouted to Shen Muqing: "Grandma......"

If you are willing to take a step back, everyone will naturally be happy.

Mr. Guo was alone, Xiao Sa lent him two hundred taels of silver, he invited Mrs. Cheng of the county to be a matchmaker, and bought auspicious gifts to Xiao's family to make a decision. Shen Muqing's due date is in September, and summer is not a good day to get married, so the date is set on the second day of the fifth month. Although the time is a little tight, Li's mother began to prepare a dowry for Yuegui a few years ago, and now she is just embroidering a few more curtains and pillowcases. According to Mingxia's example, the eldest lady rewarded one hundred taels of silver, and the marriage was naturally very decent.

During this period, Shen Muqing received letters from Shi Jingshu and Xiao Yunniang.

In the letter, Xiao Yunniang euphemistically advised Shen Muqing that peace was a blessing, but Shi Jingshu's letter was full of confidence in Xiao Sa's future - the Dai family had already taken a posture to support Emperor Taishang's accession to the throne.

The letter has been on the road for more than a month, and now I am afraid that the big thing has been decided!

She couldn't help frowning slightly.

Dai Gui has never been in contact with Xiao Sa, let alone what to explain from the bottom of his heart...... It makes people feel faintly unhappy.

Xiao Sa thought differently from Shen Muqing: "Everyone has their own positions, and it is worth paying if you can not fall into the well at a critical time." ”

"Don't you have friends who are like each other?" Shen Muqing was a little unconvinced.

"Yes." Xiao Sa said with a smile, "Master Chang is one." ”

Mention Chang Hui. Shen Muqing was silent - Chang Hui had always wanted to accept Xiao Yueying as an apprentice.

"Mu Qing," Xiao Sa persuaded his wife, "Master Chang is practicing internal kung fu, and he pays attention to soothing and calm movements, which is very suitable for women to practice." Yueying is a girl, she has a skill, and we are more relieved. ”

"I'm afraid that 'a full bottle won't sound, and half a bottle will clatter.'" Shen Muqing sighed, "It will be self-defeating when the time comes." ”

"She is still young now, so she will learn some internal kung fu first, which pays attention to calmness and leisure, and maybe she can change Yueying's temper. Just let her give it a try! Yueying is also my heart, and I won't hurt her. ”

With a hint of pleading in her tone, she couldn't refuse such Xiao Sa: "Then try it first." However, as I said, if she can't change her temper, she won't be able to practice this kung fu anymore. ”

"That's nature, that's nature." Xiao Sa breathed a sigh of relief and went to tell Chang Hui about it in person.

Chang Hui was very happy to hear this, and said to the Xiao couple: "You don't need to apprentice, follow me for a while, if you think it's okay, it's not too late to apprentice." ”

Be that as it may. Shen Muqing still gave Chang Hui a silver ticket and clothes in accordance with the rules of apprenticeship.

Chang Hui is a free and easy person, and after thanking him, he opened his mouth to ask Shen Muqing for precious medicinal materials such as ginseng, Ganoderma lucidum, Shou Wu, and blood vine.

Shen Mu Qingqi was surprised: "You have been asking for these medicinal materials every three or five months for the past two years, what are you for?" ”

Chang Hui smiled: "I'm doing medicine for the big girl." ”

Shen Muqing opened his mouth and stammered: "You have never given up if you dare to love." ”

"As the saying goes, the poor learn literature, and the rich learn martial arts." Chang Hui said with a smile, "Of course, some people are poor and have to find a way to participate in the imperial examination to change their family situation, and when people are rich, they want to practice martial arts and fitness, on the other hand, it is also because they want to learn advanced martial arts, in addition to talent and mentorship." It also needs some medicinal herbs to help regulate the body and make its blood more vigorous...... Ginseng Ganoderma lucidum, where can ordinary people afford it. ”

"Then how do you learn a good martial art?" Shen Muqing asked Chang Hui with some arrogance.

Chang Hui touched his head: "I still had some surplus money at home at that time...... But then I couldn't afford it, so I didn't fall through the learning. ”

"I'm half-done, don't teach Yueying badly."

"No, no!" Chang Hui smiled, "I just can't improve, it's not that I can't." ”

The two quarreled, Chang Hui let Shen Muqing everywhere, and Shen Muqing finally felt better in his heart. I was afraid that Yueying would not be able to suffer, when Chang Hui taught Yueying, Shen Muqing would sometimes secretly run to see it, and Chang Hui would not break it, so he didn't know. Shen Muqing saw that Chang Hui was just teaching Yueying to run and jump, not the kind of thing that made her legs tremble, so he talked to Xiao Sa about it: "...... Kung Fu is practiced like this? ”

"It's not." Xiao Sa said with a smile, "Yueying is still too young, first move your muscles and bones, and your blood will be smooth, and you will get twice the result with half the effort when you learn martial arts in the future." ”

Anyway, Shen Muqing didn't understand, she also believed that Chang Hui would not harm Yueying, and gradually let go of her hands and feet, and let Yueying practice martial arts with Chang Hui every morning.

By mid-June, the news of Emperor Taishang's restoration had not yet spread in Huding, but Li County's order had received accurate information. He personally came to visit, Shen Muqing asked people to prepare good wine and food, he and Xiao Sa called each other brothers, and said a lot of thoughtful words, until the moon on the willow head to go home.

The next day, Master Zheng came, and he was different from Xiao Sa's friendliness in the past. He hadn't left yet, Master Peng from the Ya'an prefect came, and the three of them talked and laughed together, recalling the scene when they fought the Yuanmeng people together, and Master Peng praised Xiao Sa for being brave and strategic.

Although Xiao Sa is young, he has experienced a lot of things. was originally quite a city person, but now he was even more moody, socializing with the people who came to visit, and everyone couldn't find out his bottom for a while. But in private, Xiao Sa smiled bitterly: "If the emperor wants to use me, it will be urgent in six hundred miles, and it will be there in forty days...... It's still the old man who has experienced a lot, and he can hold his breath. If I go to Kyoto to ask for that official position, I will lose face in vain. ”
