Xiao Sa went to the flower hall with a smile in the corner of his eyes, while Shen Muqing straightened his clothes, rearranged the pen wash that fell on the ground, stroked his hair, and returned to the main house. Under the pretext that the weather was too hot, Mingxia called warm water to clean it alone in the clean room.

The tired body was wrapped in warm water, which made Shen Muqing immediately feel sleepy.

After putting on the wrap and leaving the clean room, she fell asleep on the bed.

In the haze, Shen Muqing felt that someone was touching his face.

A spirit, she sat up.

"What's wrong? What's wrong? Qingyue's voice was full of panic, "Is it a nightmare?"

Shen Muqing followed the prestige and saw Xiao Sa's face full of worry.

"No nightmares!" Shen Muqing couldn't help but be cautious, "You suddenly came in, I was taken aback by you-"

Xiao Sa breathed a sigh of relief, kissed her face with a smile, and said, "Have you slept well?" Let's go for dinner! ”

Only then did Shen Muqing find that the light in the room had dimmed a little.

She smiled and nodded, freshened up again, and ate in the hall with Xiao Sa.

After the meal, the husband and wife drank tea and talked in the study.

"What did the third master of the Zheng family say?"

"Ya'an Mansion and Jinzhou are separated by hundreds of miles." Xiao Sa said with a smile, "Although everyone is not familiar with each other, the owner who does business with the Zheng family is close to the prefect of Naya'an Mansion. The third master of the Zheng family wrote to ask me what my plans were, and when the time comes, he can also cooperate with me. ”

The strong dragon can't overpower the ground snake. A giant like the Zheng family, who has been operating in Sichuan for hundreds of years, can always get in touch with the local parents and officials, otherwise don't think about doing business.

Xiao Sa said again: "The matter of Master Peng, the third master of the Zheng family also helped me inquire clearly." ”

Shen Muqing was very interested.

"Master Peng came from a humble background, and he was a posthumous child, all thanks to his mother's hard work for him to study. He was relatively honest after he joined the office, so he had no family background. In the spring of the year before last, Peng's mother fell ill, and the cost of soup and medicine cost Peng a lot of silver taels, and later the doctor prescribed a 'single ginseng soup', he sold his house and land, barely for Peng's mother to eat for a year and a half, but he couldn't afford it, and he ran off the medicine. Speaking of this, Xiao Sa sighed, "Who knew that as soon as this medicine was cut off, Peng's mother would die in a few days......"

"So Master Peng wants to make some money to defend himself?" Shen Muqing groaned.

Xiao Sa nodded: "I think it's the same." ”

"What about doing business together......"

The smile on the corner of Xiao Sa's mouth was a little cold: "Who doesn't have something to do." If he Peng Lingxun moved the granary Reed grain because of this, then he does not deserve sympathy. ”

Shen Muqing agreed very much and nodded: "Yes." ”

"That's right," Xiao Sa looked like he suddenly remembered, "The matter of going to the county government to be a gentleman is not possible without the consent of Master Peng." Don't listen to Mrs. Fang's flattery, you must ask for Master Peng's instructions...... We can't tell what happened. ”

"I see!" Shen Muqing's expression was solemn, "I will find a way to get Master Peng's edict." ”

Two days later, Mrs. Fang visited again.

"Master Peng agreed!" She was full of smiles, "When you pick an auspicious day, let Xiao Ye go to the county school!" ”

"Wouldn't this be too much, too ......" Shen Muqing's face was full of hesitation, "There has to be a procedure, write an appointment letter or something!" Otherwise, if the husband goes rashly, will he be ridiculed by people with a heart...... Especially Mr. Guo. People are also hired by the county government, which is a serious teaching......"

After all, Mrs. Fang is an official wife, she knows these procedures very well, and she can understand Shen Muqing's worries, and because of Shen Muqing's proposal, Mrs. Fang has feelings of sympathy for Shen Muqing.

Although Xiao Sa was exiled here, his family's background was there, not those illiterate ordinary women, what others say is what they say, and they don't know how to distinguish right from wrong......

When I think about it, I can't help but feel like a friend.

She hurriedly smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll tell our master about this matter." ”

Shen Muqing hurriedly got up and saluted Mrs. Fang: "If Xianggong can go to the county school, it's all because of you...... Please bow down to me. ”

Mrs. Fang smiled and accepted Shen Muqing's salute and took her hand: "Mrs. Xiao is polite, this is also our master's appreciation of Xiao Ye's character and knowledge...... Mrs. Xiao is not welcome. ”

Shen Muqing shook Mrs. Fang's hand with his backhand: "It's Mrs. and I who are polite." I only hope that we will have the opportunity to repay the ......"

"Mrs. Xiao's words are serious!" Mrs. Fang said with a smile, "You are in Kyoto, we are in Shanghai, everyone can get acquainted, this is also a rare fate." ”

"As Madame said!" Shen Muqing should be in harmony.

The two of you come and go, and they talk very affectionately.

Seeing that it was late, Shen Muqing left Mrs. Fang to eat, and Mrs. Fang was worried about the children at home: "...... The old man went to the guardhouse! ”

Shen Muqing didn't want to stay long, so he asked Mingxia to take two abalone from the library, and two boxes of chicken fat crisp for Mrs. Fang to take back for the children to eat.

Mrs. Fang thanked her and got up to say goodbye.

In the evening, the husband and wife were talking in the study.

"The shop is located in Ya'an Mansion," Xiao Sa and Shen Muqing said about opening a rice shop with Peng Lingxun, "I will pay the capital and split the account with Master Peng." ”

"Is we four, and he six?"

Xiao Sa nodded: "It cost three or four hundred taels of silver to set up this shop...... He's going to get me in trouble, and it's much more than that. ”

Shen Muqing also knew and persuaded: "So there are some things you don't have to take too seriously!" ”

Xiao Sa looked at her with a serious look and said with a smile: "I will grasp the degree." Neither can you appear incompetent nor too shrewd. I'm the best at this. You don't know, when I went to Gansu, Lord Zeng didn't say anything, and directly threw us to the servant, and everyone thought that I was a gentleman who didn't want to offend the prince and reluctantly accepted it......"

Shen Muqing listened to him tell his old story with his elbows on his cheeks.

Xiao Sa's eyes are brighter than the morning star, Xiao Sa's expression is excited and high-spirited, and the corners of Xiao Sa's eyes are slightly eyebrows, full of flying that can encourage people's hearts......

In the flint lightning, she suddenly understood.

Xiao Sa has never been afraid of difficulties......

The old man sees more clearly and thinks more deeply than himself.

Life is never about what you want. He needs people to run it, to make a ...... She only thought about love and non-love, and only thought of responsibility and obligation.

Xiao Sa felt that his wife's gaze was a little wandering, thinking that she was not interested in her topic, and smiled a little wryly: "It's all a little bloody when you were young......

Shen Muqing came back to his senses, saw Xiao Sa smiling a little embarrassed, and said with a smile: "When I was young, I didn't have any blood and strength, do you want to be angry when you are old?" Thinking of his demeanor just now, he explained, "When you talk about what happened when you were young, it reminds me of when my lord was young...... "Tell Xiao Sa what happened when Shen Zhen was in Long'an Mansion."

Xiao Sa laughed when he heard this, and asked, "The master's Mid-Autumn Festival gift should be given, right?" ”

“…… Two boxes of Wuyi tea......" Xiao Sa sighed and said with a smile, "There is still Wuyi tea at home?" ”

"It was sent by my sister-in-law when I came." Shen Muqing smiled, "It's just these two boxes." ”

Xiao Sa nodded: "Let the person who goes to ask the master to ask if he likes it." If you like it, I'll have this tea next year. When the time comes, I will ask the third master of the Zheng family to prepare it for us as soon as possible. As he spoke, he looked down at the gift list again, "...... Two boxes of hemp cakes, two boxes of candied fruit, and two boxes of glutinous cakes...... Will it be less? This is a specialty of Sichuan! ”

"There are few people in the family, and I am eating, am I still afraid of bad on the road?"

"The further north you go, the colder it gets, and it won't get bad." Xiao Sa said with certainty, took a pen and added a stroke to it, "Just twenty boxes of each, right?" ”

Shen Muqing nodded.

For the rest, Xiao Sa doesn't have any opinions. Seeing that there were still a few pieces of paper under the box, he looked at Shen Muqing and asked a little strangely, "...... is this?"

"It's a gift list for the old lady, the parents-in-law and the eldest wife."

Xiao Sa was slightly stunned: "I forgot about this!" ”

Is it because you don't kiss in the bottom of your heart?

Shen Muqing sighed in his heart, but a smile appeared on his face: "Is that because you didn't have a family before?" Now that we have a home, this etiquette is naturally different! ”

"yes!" Xiao Sa responded and lowered his head slightly, "When I was in Bahe, my uncles and brothers in the family made a lot of efforts, and this is the first year after we got married - we are all on the road during the Dragon Boat Festival, and it is not strange to miss everyone, let's express our gratitude through the Mid-Autumn Festival!" ”

"That's what I thought too!" Shen Muqing said, took out all the gift lists under the box, and showed him one by one, "This is for Mr. Min, this is for Lord Wang, and this is for Lord Zeng......"

Xiao Sa flipped through and said, "Over at home, add Xiao Cheng's name, and over there in Kyoto, add Dai Gui!" ”

Add Xiao Cheng?

Shen Muqing was a little surprised.

Xiao Sa let out a long sigh and said, "Hitting people doesn't slap their faces, I gave a gift to all the brothers in the family, is it not possible to keep him alone?" When others see it, they will gossip. ”

Shen Muqing couldn't help but laugh when he looked at him unwillingly.

stepped forward to sit on the armrest of Xiao Sa's Taishi chair, and she leaned on his shoulder to look at the gift list with him: "Poor Xiao Sa! ”

Xiao Sa's back is as soft as a boneless body, the tip of her nose lingers with a faint fragrance, and in her ears is her melodious laughter like a silver bell...... For a while, I just felt that it was a heavenly fairyland!

He took Shen Muqing's hand on his shoulder and forced, and Shen Muqing fell into Xiao Sa's arms.

"Are you feeling better?" He hugged her on his lap and whispered in her ear.

The heat hit her neck, making her shiver slightly, and her face was a little hot: "It's okay! ”

"Then watch out." As soon as Xiao Sa lowered his head, he saw that his face, which was as white as snow, was dyed like a peach blossom in March, and he couldn't help but lean in and kiss it, "When I was a child, I heard my mothers say that when I came to the moon, I ate raw and cold things, and it will be difficult for my heirs to ...... I'm still waiting to hug the big fat boy! At the end of the day, there was a joke in the eyes of the whole city.

What theory?

Shen Muqing scolded his belly, and couldn't help but blushed and turned his head coquettishly: "What nonsense? ”
