Chapter 182: Reasonableness

Chapter 182 is reasonable

The Shaw couple looked at each other.

After a moment of silence, Xiao Zhao looked at Shen Muqing seriously: "You mean-"

Shen Muqing also looked at Xiao Zhao seriously: "If my friend hasn't come back before Lord Wang leaves." I'm here to lobby the master. When the time comes, please ask Master Xiao and Lord Wang to discuss a countermeasure and see if we can find a way that is most beneficial to Xiao Sa. ”

Xiao Zhao looked at Shen Muqing hesitantly.

But the eldest lady said eagerly: "This, is this okay?" I don't know if Master Shen will agree? ”

Shen Muqing comforted the eldest lady, nodded at her with a smile, looked at Xiao Zhao and said, "As you said." Jinshang really doesn't want the emperor to come back. But under pressure, he also had to sit down and give an explanation to the ministers and the world, so he sent a person with a humble position and no decision-making power to envoy Bahe in the matter—I thought that if my friend could bring back some useful news for us before Lord Wang sent Bahe, we would not have to act recklessly like a blind man; If my friend can't come back, we'll have to find a way to get the king moving—only if he's willing, we can get the man back. ”

The eldest lady looked at Xiao Zhao.

Xiao Zhao was silent for a moment, staring at Shen Muqing's eyes: "Just do as you say!" ”

Shen Muqing breathed a sigh of relief.

She was really afraid that Xiao Zhao and the eldest lady would do their own thing, not only did they not save Xiao Sa, but they did bad things.

In this case, Shen Muqing had no choice but to jump out and preside over the overall situation.

The eldest lady originally felt that it was more certain that the Shen family would come forward in this matter than Xiao Zhao and herself to break around, and since Xiao Zhao agreed, she had nothing to worry about.

She smiled and took Shen Muqing's hand: "Mu Qing, Sa'er's affairs, all up to you." ”

"Don't worry!" Shen Muqing hurriedly assured the eldest lady, "As soon as there is news from the master's side, I will tell you." ”

The eldest lady begged her: "It's also boring for me to live alone in an inn, and I'm worried about Sa'er, and my life is even more difficult." If you're all right, come and sit with me! ”

Shen Muqing was stunned.

Not to mention that the aunt hasn't come back yet, the middle feed at home needs to be presided over by herself. Even when my aunt comes back, I often walk around the eldest lady like this, but I am afraid that it will also attract gossip.

She was hesitating about how to answer the eldest lady so as not to hurt the eldest lady's heart - Xiao Zhao snorted coldly on the side.

Shen Muqing thought of his words - let Xiao Sa marry the daughter of the first auxiliary family as a daughter-in-law, and let his son live by looking at his daughter-in-law's eyes every day-

She smiled slightly and said, "As long as the eldest lady doesn't think I'm broken-"

"No, no." Before Shen Muqing finished speaking, the eldest lady said happily, "The people around me are all stuffy gourds, and I usually can't find someone to talk to—you are willing to come, I am too late to be happy, how can I dislike it?" ”

Shen Muqing smiled and nodded.

"Then I'll go first!" Xiao Zhao said lightly, "If Master Shen is willing to see me, you can send someone over to tell me—I live in the South Cross Courtyard of the Liansheng Inn." ”

Shen Muqing was slightly stunned.

She guessed that Xiao's father and Xiao's mother would not live together, but she didn't expect that the two of them would settle down at the Liansheng Inn at the same time, one living in the east courtyard and the other living in the south courtyard——"

Xiao Zhao didn't wait for her to answer, he turned around and walked away quickly.

There was silence in the room.

Shen Muqing turned around and found that the eldest lady beside him was looking at Xiao Zhao's back in a daze.

She quietly took a step back, stood behind the eldest lady, and looked with her in the direction where Xiao Zhao was going.

It took a while for the eldest lady to come to her senses.

She saw Shen Muqing standing behind her, slightly stunned, and then laughed; "Let's go, go and see what I asked Sa'er to make."

I'm going to ask Lord Wang to bring this thing with me when the time comes—

Shen Muqing thought and nodded.

The two went back to the bedroom, and the eldest lady asked Ginkgo to come in with a baggage, and when she opened it, there was a dark coarse cloth shoulder and a set of knee pads.

"Look at the stitches, how?"

Shen Muqing picked it up and looked at it: "It's very fine." ”

The eldest lady breathed a sigh of relief: "I have hired the best tailor to make it—I have not held a needle and thread since I was fourteen years old, and my hands and feet have long since been out of order." ”

Shen Muqing thought of what she said about learning from the girl and bringing a child to Xiao Sa-

"Everyone's strengths are different!" She comforted the eldest lady, "For example, if someone embroiders an embroidery in a month, he can sell it for ten taels of silver, but you can earn ten taels of silver in just one day's work." In this way, you are naturally willing to exchange your day for someone else's month. ”

This is a matter of cost --

The eldest lady listened, and her expression was grateful.

She held Shen Muqing's hand tightly: "Really? Do you really think so? ”

Female red needlework is an important measure of a woman's virtue - no wonder the eldest lady feels uneasy!

Shen Muqing nodded sincerely: "I really think so!" ”

There was some water in the eyes of the eldest lady.

She pulled Shen Muqing to sit on the kang: "I'll ask the maids to put away all the things - let's sit down and talk." ”

Anyway, it's in vain to wait. The eldest lady must have been frightened for Xiao Sa's affairs during this time, and there is no one around her who makes her feel intimate, so it's good that she can comfort and comfort her!

Thinking of this, Shen Muqing sat down with peace of mind.

The maid re-served tea to the two of them, and both tiptoed back.

The eldest lady drank tea and chatted with Shen Muqing.

"I heard that your wife went four years ago, I don't know who is in charge of the feed in the family now?"

Shen Muqing talked with the eldest lady about family life.

"My aunt helped the housekeeper - when my wife was here, she always kept her duty, and my lord let her be in charge."

After all, it's your own family's business, and there are some things you can't say without saying it!

The eldest lady nodded: "Then are you used to the habit of going at home?" ”

I want to ask my aunt if the housekeeper has deducted herself, right?

Shen Muqing said with a smile: "I also have my own house in Baizhifang, because my aunt treats me well, so I have been living in Songshu Hutong." ”

The eldest lady sighed and said, "If Sa'er hadn't sold the courtyard of Cypress Hutong, we would be closer now." ”

Pine Hutong and Cypress Hutong are separated by only two alleys, both of which belong to Jishanfang.

Shen Muqing smiled silently.

This is the Xiao family's housework, and it is inconvenient for her to interject.

"Speaking of which, it's a real pity that the yard was sold." The eldest lady was very reluctant, "My business is in the south, and I rarely come to Kyoto, and the last time I came to Kyoto was five years ago. Zhisa'er bought a house in Beijing, and I went to settle down with him. At that time, I fell in love with the courtyard - the osmanthus tree with high eaves was planted next to the terrace of the back house. ”

"Do you like the osmanthus tree very much?" Shen Muqing said with a smile.

"Hmm!" The eldest lady nodded, "The osmanthus tree is planted in the southwest corner of the Xiao family, and in August, the osmanthus is fragrant, and the whole city can smell it." ”

Shen Muqing's eyes wandered: "Is it a plan for all planting?" Wouldn't it seem monotonous in other seasons? ”

"Who says it isn't!" The eldest lady smiled, "So I want to live in the back room - who knows, the second sister lives there." I didn't want to trouble her to move the place, so I lived in the south room of the main house. ”

Shen Muqing originally wanted to ask when the osmanthus tree in the middle of the Xiao family in Lincheng was planted? Who knows, but the eldest lady detoured to the second sister-

She couldn't help but smile wryly.

"I looked at her a little frivolous and deliberately flattered in front of me, and I didn't like it. I'm afraid that she will take the maid in the house to ruin. The eldest lady secretly looked at Shen Muqing's expression, "Just ask Sa'er for her, guess what, what did Sa'er say?" ”

Shen Muqing had already seen the eldest lady's intentions - he wanted to explain to her the relationship between Xiao Sa and the second sister.

If he opened his mouth, wouldn't he have acquiesced in this matter without three hundred taels of silver here?

She lowered her head and took a sip of tea.

Sa'er frowned and waved at me. The eldest lady also took a sip of tea and said slowly, "I thought he was reluctant at first, but who knows, the next day Pang Debao asked the maids to pack up the things for the second sister and let her go with me." I kept her with me and asked her a few things. There are some things that she says that make sense, and there are some things that make sense of what she says. I know that she has a somewhat floating temperament, and I have been observing her carefully for the past few years. It turned out that he was going to train her and then send her to Sa'er, but who knows, Sa'er didn't want her to go back at all. also asked Pang Debao to bring a letter to me, if there is a good family, prepare a dowry for the second sister. ”

Shen Muqing was stunned. After a while, he said: "Then, does the second sister agree?" ”

The surprise in the eldest lady's eyes flashed, and she smiled: "Why don't you want to?" I even found someone for her, and I was going to do things for her in the month - if you have money or not, it is better to marry a daughter-in-law for the New Year. Although the one I found for her was not a wealthy family, it was also a wealthy family, and people had long been looking forward to marrying their daughter-in-law. ”

Shen Muqing's eyes flashed with bewilderment.

In this case, why did the second sister act and speak like that in front of her? Could it be that the eldest lady wanted to let herself help save Xiao Sa, so she deliberately said this?

The thought flashed, and she felt that she had too much heart!

No matter where he and Xiao Sa will go in the future, Xiao Sa has such a thing, it is reasonable and reasonable, I have to do my best to help him-

The eldest lady looked at her demeanor and smiled knowingly: "Because it was a continuation, she was a little unhappy at first - later she saw that the other party had a good character, so she nodded." ”

This is still somewhat reasonable - after all, the second sister has been married, and she is not young -

"I asked Pang Debao to tell Sa'er, and Sa'er also specially asked Pang Debao to meet the second sister's brother, and her brother was also happy for her, so Pang Debao brought a hundred taels of silver and a few pieces of jewelry to add a box to her sister - Sa'er also sent two hundred taels of silver to her to add a box!"

The second sister should be his first woman--just sent it away with two hundred taels of silver-

Shen Muqing's heart was a little cold.

Even if the second sister is dissatisfied, what does this have to do with herself?

Why did she make such a gesture in front of herself?

Or, does she know Xiao Sa's intentions?

Thinking of this, Shen Muqing's heart pounded.

Tu Xiaoque even lied to the eldest lady - could it be that he misunderstood-

No, no, Bao Liang said it clearly - he can't turn a blind eye to the facts just because he likes him, and even help him make excuses -

For a moment, she was in turmoil.
