Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Shen Family's Happy Event
Seeing off Shen Yuerong's master and servant, Luo Mei and Zhu Ji ran in happily: "Girl, girl, the master has risen, the master has risen!" β
"What a lord was born!" Shen Muqing's heart was pounding, but he didn't dare to think about something, so he could only laugh and laugh, "What nonsense are you talking about?" Stand firm and speak well. β
Luo Mei was shocked to realize that she was rude, and gasped: "The master has been promoted, and he is receiving the holy decree in Fuze Hall!" β
"You hear me clearly!" Shen Muqing was afraid that he was thinking about it day and night, so he hallucinated.
"Hear clearly, hear clearly!" Luomei no longer has the usual seriousness, and said with a smile: "It is said that the original cabinet first assistant, Wenyuan Pavilion University Scholar, and the official department Shangshu Shi are already senior due to their age, and our lord will take over Lord Shi into the Zhiwen Yuan Pavilion, serve as the first assistant of the cabinet, and also take charge of the affairs of the household department, and add the crown prince Taibao." β
Shen Muqing couldn't help but fold his hands, waved to the sky, and recited "Amitabha".
It seems that in this political struggle, Shen Zhen won.
"Let's go!" Shen Muqing smiled, "Let's go to my wife's place to ask for a reward." β
When Luomei and Zhuji heard this, they both covered their mouths and laughed, and Yingfeng ran out when she heard the movement, shouting: "The girl is eccentric, take the two of them with you, don't take me there." β
Several of the little maidens poked their heads out and looked at them with big eyes and a smile.
Shen Muqing smiled: "Okay, all go, all go." β
The little girls all ran out laughing, but they didn't chirp like before, they just looked at them and smiled.
Shen Muqing couldn't help but nod secretly.
It seems that handing over the children to Ying Fen for training is the right choice.
A group of them went to Chaoxi Hall in a mighty way.
Chaoxitang naturally got the news, and everyone's faces were beaming, just like the New Year.
She entered the yard with her front foot, and Tian's mother came with her back foot holding the big house, and when the two people saw it, it was naturally a salute and a lively greeting. Everyone entered the house together, Li was wearing a lying rabbit on his head, holding an enamel winding stove and was smiling and leaning in front of the big kang near the window in the west room and talking to Aunt Chen: "...... Six coins for a silver ingot, four per person for the first-class month, in descending order. Yuerong is there, I don't have a reward! Seeing Shen Muqing coming in, her smile widened, "Mu Qing also got a letter!" β
Shen Muqing nodded again and again: "The little maid in my house also wants to be rewarded." β
The little maids who have just entered the house have no monthly rules, and they don't have their share of rewards according to the rules. However, this is an unusual happy event, and Li smiled and said: "Good, good, good, all rewarded." β
Aunt Chen covered her mouth and smiled, but her eyes were fixed on Xianglian.
Xianglian also looked at Aunt Chen and smiled, and the two looked like they were eyebrows.
Shen Muqing saw it in his eyes and was cold in his heart: Now everywhere and one party, it is natural to see each other happily. But once the name of the master and servant is confirmed, one is in charge of people, and the other is in charge, where is there such a strong affection.
She smiled slightly and said, "My aunt always looks at Xianglian, but she takes a fancy to my little girl." β
The smile on Aunt Chen's face stiffened slightly, and she said in a somewhat panicked tone: "No, no." The maid in my sister's house, where can I direct to live? β
Shen Muqing saw a slightly surprised expression on Xianglian's face, and immediately, this expression turned into a faint disappointment.
I'll let you take the people in my house!
Shen Muqing smiled like a flower: "Look at what my aunt said." Xianghe in your house went to my house twice in three days, saying that he was talking to Xianglian...... It seems that your master and servant are also related to Xianglian. In that case, Xianglian, from today onwards, you will go to Aunt Chen's house on an errand. β
Xianglian was stunned, but quickly reacted and curtsied towards Shen Muqing: "Thank you, girl, for your success." I heard that there was also a person named Xianglian in my aunt's house, so I was very curious about this sister, and often pulled Xianghe to inquire about her. I didn't expect that I could really serve with my aunt. β
When Aunt Chen heard this, she was also slightly stunned for a moment, and then her face showed a fearless expression like a broken boat. She walked up to Li and knelt down, bowed her head and said, "Ask Mrs. to give Xie Hong this grace!" β
For a moment, the room was so quiet that you could hear a pin falling, and the cheerful atmosphere just now froze as if it had been frozen.
Li glanced at Aunt Chen with a smile and said, "Since Mu Qingzi has opened his mouth...... Xianglian, from now on, you will be on an errand in your aunt's house! β
Aunt Chen listened, and secretly raised her head to glance at Shen Mu Qingqing, who was looking at her, and then thanked the Li family.
Xianglian is naturally indispensable to reconcile the Li family and kowtow.
Li received the two of them, and the atmosphere in the room began to come alive again.
Shen Zhen walked in in this joyful atmosphere.
When everyone saw it, they stepped forward to salute and congratulate Shen Zhen.
Li Shi looked at the holy decree in his hand, and a flower smiled on his face: "Quick, show me." β
Shen Zhen couldn't hide the smile in his eyes. He sat down beside Li and handed the holy decree in his hand to Li.
Li put the holy decree on the kang table, slowly unfolded it, and stroked the colorful patterns on it with his fingers, looking pious.
"Shiming, you are the first cabinet chief assistant of the Shen family, and the Shen family has never had a bigger official than you!" As Li said this, there was a glitter in his eyes.
Shen Zhen smiled and touched Shen Muqing's head standing beside him, and said "um" softly.
Aunt Chen hurriedly stepped forward and curtsied again: "Congratulations to the master, congratulations to the master!" β
When the other people in the room heard this, they also stepped forward again to congratulate them.
There was a look of hesitation on Lee's face. She re-rolled up the holy decree and handed it to Wang's mother: "Go, take it to the immortal tower of the ancestral hall and make offerings." β
Wang's mother wiped her hand on the placket, then took it and went happily.
Li also instructed the kitchen to add vegetables, and Qi's mother rewarded her, asking people to invite Shen Yuerong over to eat together, etc.
When Shen Muqing came out of the Li family's house, it was already the time to hold the lamp. And her hanging heart also fell - she just looked at the opportunity to quietly mention Princess Tizhen'an's birthday to Shen Zhen, Shen Zhen comforted her: "Don't worry, I have my own opinions on this matter." He also praised her: "I've really grown up, and I've thought things through!" β
Now, just wait for Shen Yuerong's affairs to stop, and life will be able to return to its original peace.
Shen Muqing thought about it, his breathing felt a lot easier, and he happily took a group of little maids back to Anyuan.
Early the next morning, Xianghe came to pick up Xianglian.
Shen Muqing smiled and rewarded Xianglian with five taels of silver: "Auntie, there are still a few mothers brought by your mother's family, you are young now, and there is no monthly case." But in the world, it is not money, how can there be a time when you don't need money. Although you are not in front of me, you always go out of my house, and remember to give me a long face. β
Xianglian kowtowed to Shen Muqing three times, didn't say a word, and followed Xianghe.
Shen Muqing smiled indifferently.
Thirty years in Hexi, forty years in Hedong. As long as you live, no one knows what kind of people and what kind of things you will encounter. Since it's not a matter of life and death, you don't have to tear your face with people.
She took the opportunity to educate the remaining ones: "Whoever thinks of being an errand in other houses, tell me that I will be like Xianglian." But if anyone is in Cao Ying's heart is in Han, well, don't blame me for calling Mrs. Zhang to lead people. β
Several little maids all agreed resignedly, only Puyu, muttered, "Girl, can I go to my mother-in-law's house, no, Mrs. β
Shen Muqing couldn't help but look angry, and said coldly: "Okay, I'll tell my wife later, pull you into her room to serve." β
Puyu was overjoyed, grinning and curtsied Shen Muqing - this was something she had just learned.
When Shen Muqing went to ask Li for peace, he took Puyu to Li's place, and learned Puyu's words to Li's family, and Li was also very surprised, and asked Puyu: "Is it not good to be by the girl's side?" β
Puyu said: "There are many people around the girl, and there is no one around the wife, so I will serve the wife." β
She has no sincerity, which is very sincere.
A smile appeared on Li's slightly cold face, and he instructed Qi's mother: "Let her be with Cui Wei, according to the monthly example of a first-class maid." β
The people in the room were surprised, and everyone had different expressions on their faces.
This is probably the fastest promoted maid of the Shen family.
Qi's mother asked Puyu to thank Li. She immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Li, but her expression was still at a loss, which was even more rustic.
Shen Muqing said coquettishly on the side: "Mrs. only has Puyu in her eyes now!" β
Li Shi smiled and twisted her tender cheeks: "You little sour jar!" β
Shen Muqing did not follow and fell into Li's arms.
Li laughed, his expression indescribably happy.
Shen Muqing snuggled on her shoulder, sad.
I don't know how long it will last!

Shen Zhen served as the first assistant of the cabinet, of course, a few families were happy and a few were sad, but the Shen family was definitely happy.
In the morning, the decree was received, and at noon there were guests at the door. Jincai's daughter-in-law was transferred to serve in the large kitchen in the outer courtyard, and the Li family discussed with Wang's mother to hire a cook, who was good at making Su cuisine and Beijing cuisine.
"Do you want to invite you to sing Peking Opera," Wang's mother said, "Lian Kuiban just came out of the palace yesterday, so he should be able to arrange a date." β
Li shook his head again and again: "Master is in the limelight now, so he must be even more cautious, how can he sing at home with great fanfare." You will call Wang Fulai later, and I will explain a few words to him. β
Wang Fu is the name of Mr. Wang.
Wang's mother immediately responded.
"In the past few days, I am afraid that the relatives of various prefectures will also move around, you sent someone to clean the house well, and the brocade curtains and embroidered screens, gold and silver utensils, tables, chairs and benches in the library are all cleared......"
Wang's mother responded one by one.
Shen Muqing watched the Li family on the side, and explained it clearly, and admired it very much. He took a glass of water and handed it over. It just so happened that Li finished explaining the matter. She took the water and took a sip, the corner of her eyes swept over her daughter standing beside her, and said with a smile: "I'm afraid that I have a lot of entertainment these days, and you can go back to the girl directly!" β
Shen Muqing was moved to hear it.
The sense of satisfaction that she felt recognized for her efforts was revived in her bodyβjust like a long time ago, when she successfully organized a business meeting, hosted a dance party, or hosted a small dinner, and the sense of accomplishment welled up from the bottom of her heart when her hard work turned into a satisfied smile on the face of others.
