Chapter 114: Exogenous Branches

On the way back to Chaoxitang, Wang's mother couldn't help but be verbose: "Fushi is also an old shopkeeper for decades, why did you send such two stunned young people...... One time they say we owe money, and the other they say that we have made a mistake...... I've seen robberies while they're on fire, but I've never seen anything like this......"

Shen Muqing was in a good mood, just smiling and listening.

Entering the house, Li was still lying on the table copying Buddhist scriptures.

Hearing the movement, she put down the pen in her hand.

Seeing her daughter's eyebrows stretched and her expression was full of joy, she couldn't help but quip: "Well, it looks like I still have to go to the garden for a walk." This walk, the spirit is much better. ”

Shen Muqing was stunned.

Li Shi has pursed his lips and smiled: "I went to Jiusizhai to see it, right?" I didn't treat Ji Min badly, did I? ”

It turned out that Li thought that he had gone to Jiusi Zhai to meet Liang Jimin!

Shen Muqing smiled silently.

Mother Wang, who accompanied Shen Muqing in, naturally didn't dare to say anything, and accompanied her smiling face on the side.

Shen Muqing looked at the Li family with resoluteness, thought for a moment, and said, "Madam, I have something to tell you." ”

Li thought that his daughter had gone to see Liang Jimin, but now that he had something to say, he naturally sent the people around him.

Shen Muqing sat down beside the Li family and said in a low voice: "Mrs. still remember, when I went to the Yaowang Temple, there was a person named Xiao Sa who once asked Lord Ye to come to our house to report the news?" ”

Li Shi was slightly stunned and said, "Naturally, I remember." He also won the martial arts champion this year! ”

"I just went to see him!"

Li was stunned.

Shen Muqing had already whispered everything that had happened just now, as well as the conversation with Xiao Sa, of course, he had concealed about Xiao Sa himself, and told Li Shi everything about him.

Li Shi nodded as he listened, and his expression gradually became solemn.

"I also think there is something wrong with Liu Jun's suicide, so I asked Mr. Ouyang not to come back and go to Jiangnan to find out some news."

Shen Muqing was surprised.

I didn't expect Mr. Ouyang to come back at all!

"So what do we do now?" Shen Muqing originally felt that Xiao Sa's idea was too risky, but now that Mr. Ouyang is not there...... She wasn't even more sure.

Li Shi didn't make a sound, and leaned back on the pillow with his eyes closed.

After a while, she opened her eyes and said in a deep voice: "You said, the master once gave Xiao Sa a sticker." ”

"Hmm!" Shen Muqing replied softly.

"This Xiao Sa also said that if there is something, you can go to Fushi to find Xiao Qi."

Shen Muqing replied softly again.

Li asked people to call Mr. Wang.

Shen Muqing was puzzled and said, "What do you want to ask Manager Wang to do?" If there's anything, just tell me! ”

Li Shi glanced at her and said, "What a big thing, I have to meet people!" ”

Shen Muqing didn't expect the Li family to accept Xiao Sa like this.

She couldn't help but be stunned.

Li Shi said thoughtfully: "That Xiao Sa, how old is it?" ”

Shen Muqing hurriedly said: "Seventeen years old." ”

"Who else is in the family?"

"A sister-in-law, two brothers, a brother, and two sisters!"

"Oh!" Li raised his eyebrows, "There are quite a lot of people in the family!" ”

Shen Muqing suddenly froze.

In front of the Li family and Xiao Sa, she looked like a fundamental deployment, and now when the Li family asks, even the brothers and sisters who have a few concubines are clear, who would believe that they are not familiar with 、、、、、、each other、、、、、、 but isn't she afraid that the Li family will suspect Xiao Sa's bad intentions, and worry that Xiao Sa's hot temper will not be able to stand the grievances, and the two will have any misunderstanding? I just hope that my wife doesn't see any clues!

She covered her ears and comforted herself.

A maid came in and reported: "Madam, lunch is ready, where do you see it?" ”

When Shen Muqing heard this, he was like being amnestied.

Li glanced at her with a smile and said, "Let's put it in the flower hall, let Brother She accompany his brother-in-law to eat!" ”

Shen Muqing was relieved to see that Li no longer asked, and remembered Wang's mother's words about selling shops, and said: "If the family can't turn around for a while, do you think you should take my money over for emergency first." ”

Li's brows frowned slightly, and he said, "What's wrong?" ”

Shen Muqing said Wang's mother's words again, and Li listened to it, his face was slightly gloomy, and he said, "I know." I still say the same thing, whether it's the master's business or the family's business, you don't care. I have my own opinions. ”

"Madam, one more person has more guts." Shen Muqing couldn't let go, "You just let me stay by your side, although I can't have any big ideas, but I can still do this thing of serving tea and pouring water." ”

"There are a lot of maids and mothers at home, what do you want to serve tea? What water to pour? Li's attitude was resolute, "You give me to go back to Liang's house and stay well, if there is no chaos, it will be a great help." ”

Shen Muqing was stunned and hesitated: "Mrs. Mo doesn't want to beg for the head of the house at a critical moment?" ”

Li smiled: "Our two families are grasshoppers on a rope, and we can't talk about who asks whom?" ”

Shen Muqing thought of the attitude of the Liang family, but it was not easy to explain it to the Li family.

Seeing a trace of anger flashing on Shen Muqing's face, Li Shi understood in his heart. smiled: "You have to be broad-minded." The old man was not convicted for a day, and the Liang family did not act well for a day. Even if something like this happened to the Liang family, our family would be the same. Moreover, in case our family has something long and two short, the Liang family can get rid of it, and we can't take the Liang family's century-old foundation to accompany us! ”

Shen Muqing was very confused: "Since this is the case, then why should we get married." ”

Li smiled: "Naturally, it is the icing on the cake. ”

Shen Muqing was stunned.

Li Shi has smiled and said: "As long as it is not the business of the Nine Clans, at least one of you will be saved." ”

Shen Muqing's tears burst out of his eyes.

Li Shi took out a handkerchief and gently wiped her tears: "Silly child, it is one who can save one." I'm still counting on the master to come out, you take good care of him! ”

Shen Muqing nodded again and again: "Don't worry, madam, I will take good care of the master." After thinking about it, he said, "I will also take good care of Dashe." ”

Li nodded and clapped her hand: "This is my good boy!" ”

Shen Muqing, who returned to the Liang family, treated people even more kindly, and acted even more low-key. She gave Mrs. every day in addition to it. Feng Shi asked for peace, so he stayed in the Diecui Courtyard to do needlework. Liang Youhui stayed with her for a few days, but she couldn't sit still and shouted "boring".

Fortunately, it will soon be August 15, and after a few days off in Yixue, Liang Youhui and her three nephews are crazy.

Zhuji often accompanies Shen Muqing when she is doing needlework.

"Baimu said that the news of Lord Liu's suicide reached the capital, and the imperial envoys of the Metropolitan Procuratorate broke bullets one after another to impeach the master."

Sure enough, the account was settled on the master's head.

"Baimu said, the emperor said, death is great, and Lord Liu's family will not be held accountable."

Let Xiao Sa say yes, the emperor did not dispose of the people of the Liu family.

"Baimu said that the scholars of the Hanlin Academy are talking about the master."

"Oh!" This was also expected, Shen Muqing thought of Liang Jimin in the Hanlin Academy: "What is the reaction of the third young master?" ”

Zhuji hesitated for a moment before saying, "Baimu said that the third young master has been drinking and chanting poetry with that Chen Yazi for the past few days. ”

Shen Muqing nodded slightly.

Although Chen Yazi is unhappy in officialdom, he is a person with a true temperament. Liang Jimin is better with him than listening to the group of people in the Hanlin Academy say cool things about his father-in-law.

After a few more days, there was no movement outside.

Shen Muqing remembered Xiao Sa's attention, and when he was upset, Dong's mother came and said, "Your cousin-in-law from Taicang's hometown came to Beijing to do business, and your cousin asked him to bring something to you." ”

A cousin-in-law in Taicang's hometown?

Shen Muqing was stunned before he reacted.

It's Shen Yuerong's fiancé surnamed Ren!

What is he here for?

However, how did he become a cousin-in-law?

Shen Yuerong brought something to her, I don't know what to bring?

They didn't know what happened to Shen Zhen?

Shen Muqing suppressed his doubts and said with a smile: "There is Mother Lao." I'll let Ying Fun follow you to get something! ”

Dong's mother smiled: "He still wants to say hello to you - Mrs. Tai has already asked Ren Gongzi to be invited to the flower hall." ”

Shen Muqing was a little surprised, and followed Dong's mother to meet Shen Yuerong's fiancé.

The flower hall of the Liang family is very small, but there are rosewood screens and rosewood furniture inside, showing the style of the Hou Mansion everywhere.

Shen Muqing walked into the flower hall and saw a man wearing a lotus blue pleated robe standing in the middle of the flower hall with his head slightly bowed. She knew that this was Shen Yuerong's fiancé, and while walking towards the first seat, she quickly warmed him with her eyes.

The surname Ren is tall, fair-skinned, starry eyebrows and sword eyes, and dignified.

Shen Muqing was secretly surprised: "Where does this surnamed Ren look like a little gangster." No wonder the old man and Lin Jin both had a good impression when they saw him.

After she sat down, the person surnamed Ren gave her a look, and said softly: "It's the first time that the third young grandmother has seen me!" My surname is Ren, and my name is Ren Xiang. ”

Shen Muqing greeted him politely: "Brother-in-law, please take a seat." "Let the maid serve tea again.

Ren Xiang hesitated for a while and sat down under Shen Muqing.

There is a difference between men and women, and people who know a little about etiquette will choose to sit in the chair closest to the door.

Shen Muqing thought of the two Liang family maids who were in charge of entertaining guests in the corner of the flower hall, and his brows furrowed almost invisibly.

Ren Xiang didn't seem to know anything about what was happening in front of him, and with a smile, he took out a small red lacquer gold box from his arms and handed it to Shen Muqing: "Here are a few purses embroidered in the cheap interior, let me bring them to the third young grandmother." ”

Ying Fan stepped forward to take the box, and Shen Muqing said politely: "Cousin Lao bothered." Is my cousin okay? ”

Ren Xiang took a sip of tea, glanced at Ying Fan who was standing behind Shen Muqing, and then looked at the little maid standing in the corner of the flower hall, her voice was suddenly very low, and she said in a hurried tone: "I know that something happened to the uncle's family, and the aunt's health is not good." That's why we came to find the third young grandmother - that day we received a letter from the eldest aunt, saying that the fourth girl was going back to Taicang, but by the time we went to the dock to pick up people, the boat had already returned. ”

In the silence of the room, there was a faint but crisp sound of porcelain clattering.

Ying Fan stepped forward and stood on Shen Qing's right side, blocking the maid's view.

After a long while, Shen Muqing found his voice: "People, gone?" ”

Her voice trembled, as thin as a gnat.

Ren Xiang looked at Shen Muqing's pale face and still had a smile on it, and put his mind at ease.

I've finally found the right person.
