Chapter 179: Liansheng Inn

Shen Muqing went back to the room to freshen up again, and changed into a silver-white saze, bean-green skirt with a panzhi flower hem and thread.

Mingxia saw that she was simply a maid and didn't wear anything, and hesitated: "Do you want to wear a beaded flower?" ”

Shen Muqing walked to the mirror and looked at it, his appearance was a little cleaner, and he couldn't eat and sleep well during this time, so his face didn't look very good.

She thought about it, and applied a layer of peach-colored lipstick to her lips, and her slightly pale face immediately brightened.

"So be it!" Shen Muqing said with a smile, "Those jewels were left to me by my wife, if I lose one when I go out, I will be heartbroken." ”

Mingxia didn't want to say anything more, nodded "yes", and accompanied Shen Muqing to the flower hall.

Ying Fan's mouth is sharp, Tu Xiaoque said the last sentence, she can reply to ten sentences, and every sentence is not the same, every sentence is annoying. Tu Xiaoque had to say nothing, and Ying Fan hated her for not speaking.

"But you think I'm a servant?" She covered her mouth and smiled, "Good sister, you are only a few years old, so you have to let me serve carefully." Please also ask my sister to teach me. lest I do this every day to serve tea and pour water. ”

When Shen Muqing walked in, he was hearing this.

She couldn't help frowning.

As the saying goes, the poor don't chase. Push people into a hurry, and do everything. Isn't there another saying that "rabbits bite when they are in a hurry". It's not good for Ying Fan to stare at people like this

Shen Muqing coughed softly.

Ying Fan immediately stood up and shouted "Grandma" with a slightly red face.

Tu Xiaoque, who was about to refute, also stood up when he saw this.

She glanced at Ying Fan angrily and said, "Auntie, this one in your house, but he can really say"

Some of the meaning of the complaint.

Shen Muqing hurriedly interrupted her words and said with a smile: "Second sister, you wait here." I ordered the kitchen to make a few things to eat, and we will go to see Mrs. Xiao together. ”

Tu Xiaoque was taken aback: "Go, go see the eldest lady, what's the matter?" "The expression is very empty.

Shen Muqing smiled coldly in his heart.

Are you afraid that I won't be able to please your mother-in-law?

But a kind smile appeared on his face: "I have something to say to the eldest lady!" ”

A panic flashed in Tu Xiaoque's eyes.

Shen Muqing's eyes narrowed slightly.

What is her heart?

The Liansheng Inn in Jintaifang is a very inconspicuous small inn, and the façade of one room is a little dim, so that the people and things in the shop look a little gray.

On the counter, an old man with white hair was sitting at the counter, talking a little bored to a child dressed as a shopkeeper.

Seeing Tu Xiaoque coming in, he turned around and greeted Tu Xiaoque with a smile: "Second sister is back!" He also instructed the little two: "Quickly lead the way for the second sister." ”

Tu Xiaoque was very respectful to that person. She curts, smiling with a little flattery, and shouting "Hu shopkeeper".

Shopkeeper Hu nodded politely at her, but his eyes fell on Shen Muqing's master and servant beside her.

Shen Muqing's posture was like a pine, and he bowed lightly towards the shopkeeper.

Shopkeeper Hu smiled and nodded to her.

Xiao Er had already run out of the counter: "Second sister, please come with me." ”

Tu Xiaoque responded and followed the little two inside.

Shen Muqing followed unhurriedly.

It looks a little decadent from the outside, but when you walk in, there is no cave.

Pavilions and pavilions, winding paths are secluded, the atmosphere is elegant, not like an inn, but like the back garden of a rich family.

The eldest lady lived in a courtyard surrounded by green trees to the east, and the younger two led them to the door, and then went after saluting.

Tu Xiaoque stepped forward and slammed the door.

A mother in her 40s came to answer the door.

Her expression was a little serious, and when she saw Tu Xiaoque, she only said lightly, "I'm back", but when she saw Shen Muqing behind Tu Xiaoque, she was stunned.

Tu Xiaoque hurriedly said respectfully: "Mother Wu, this is the Shen family's aunt and grandmother. ”

When Mother Wu heard this, a trace of panic flashed on her face, and she hurriedly opened both doors, and said in a somewhat panicked tone: "I didn't know that the distinguished guest was coming, it was rude!" ”

Isn't that too polite?

Shen Muqing muttered in his heart, with a smile on his face: "Mom is too polite." I came in a hurry and bothered. ”

"Auntie, don't say that!" Mother Wu saluted Shen Muqing, her face was a little at a loss, and there was already a little maid running inward next to her. Mother Wu respectfully accompanied Shen Mu to walk in the Qing Dynasty.

As soon as they walked down the steps, the curtain of the main room was lifted, and the eldest lady had already led out with two beautiful maids of seventeen or eighteen years old.

From afar, she showed a very happy smile to Shen Muqing.

"Why did my aunt and grandmother come all of a sudden! Let people say in advance, and I'll go to meet you. "Let an elder receive him so politely, Shen Muqing is really a little unaccustomed.

She curtsied and saluted the eldest lady: "I'm in a hurry, I'm disturbing!" ”

"What bother, don't bother!" The eldest lady hurriedly stepped forward and took her hand, "Qiu Tiger is amazing, follow me into the house to cool off in the house!" ”

Shen Muqing kindly asked the eldest lady to join hands, and the two entered the house side by side.

There are three main rooms, and there are two men in their thirties standing in the hall. Seeing Shen Muqing come in, the two of them immediately lowered their heads.

Introducing Shen Muqing like this, Shen Muqing had to politely shout "Stone Shopkeeper" and "Wang Shopkeeper".

Neither of them dared to raise their heads, and even said "don't dare".

The eldest lady said to the two stewards, "This matter is settled." I won't leave Kyoto for a while, but if you don't think it's going to work, I'll report to my uncle and let him handle it himself. ”

The two stewards said yes respectfully, and then walked out with their heads down.

Shen Muqing was shocked to realize that Xiao Sa's father didn't seem to appear? When something so big happened to his son, he didn't show up?

As if she had seen her surprise, the eldest lady took her hand to the east bedroom and explained to her, "We are both busy. When Sa'er had an accident, the uncle also came, and it was better to leave only one than the two of them. There are still many things to decide at home. ”

Shen Muqing couldn't help but show a somewhat strange expression on his face.

Xiao Sa is the only son for the eldest wife, but for Xiao's father, he is only one of them. This kind of emotion, after all, is different, but what about Xiao Sa's nominal parents? Don't you care at all?

Thinking wildly, the two of them had already walked to the big kang near the window and sat down.

I followed the eldest lady out to greet her two maids and their children for refreshments.

The eldest lady pointed to one of them wearing a silver-red bijia and said, "This is a hosta." Then he pointed to another maid wearing a bean-green bijia and said, "This is ginkgo." ”

Shen Muqing knew that these were the two powerful people beside the eldest lady, and nodded towards Ying Fan on the side.

Ying Fan immediately took out two purses and handed them to the two.

Shen Muqing smiled: "A little gadget." ”

The two of them generously accepted it and saluted Shen Muqing.

Ying Fan took out a few red lacquer and gold boxes from the little maid behind him and handed them to the two of them: "Some of the food made at home, my aunt and grandmother specially brought it over for the eldest lady to taste." ”

Hosta and ginkgo biloba are busy with their hands fruiting boxes.

"You're too polite, bring me food!" The eldest lady looked at Shen Muqing with a smile, very happy.

"It's urgent, it's just some snacks made at home."

"You can worry about me at any time, and that makes me happier than anything else." The eldest lady looked at Shen Muqing's bright eyes and couldn't help but look happy.

Shen Muqing couldn't help but be embarrassed.

This can't be said that I am worried about her all the time

The eldest lady didn't wait for Shen Muqing to answer, and pointed to Yingfen: "This one I know, called Yingfen" and pointed to Mingxia, "What's this name?" The noodles are very raw! ”

It's completely a good style of a general.

Shen Muqing secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and asked Yingfan and Mingxia to step forward and salute the eldest lady.

The eldest lady looked at a few maids carefully and said with a smile: "My aunt and grandmother are surrounded by smart and clever people. ”

Shen Muqing didn't want people to look down on his own people. "She has served by my side since I was a child, and when Kyoto was besieged, she accompanied me in Kyoto. He pointed to Mingxia again, "The people in the family went to Jiangnan to avoid trouble, and she helped take care of them on the way, and acted steadily."

The eldest lady nodded when she heard this, and the hosta went and returned, taking the purse to reward the people who followed Shen Muqing.

A few maids saw that the maids beside the eldest lady were acting so generously, so they naturally did not show weakness, accepted the purse without being humble or arrogant, thanked them, and stood beside Shen Muqing in a proper manner.

The eldest lady instructed the hosta: "You led a few sisters and second sisters from your aunt's side down to drink tea." ”

Shen Muqing also had something to say to the eldest lady, so he naturally nodded.

Ying Fan and Mingxia retreated with people and hostas.

Tu Xiaoque walked last, and when he went out, he glanced at Shen Muqing very uneasily.

The eldest lady jerked up her eyes to look at the door, and the edge in her eyes flashed.

Shen Muqing looked at it and palpitated in his heart.

What a sharp look, this is the true face of the eldest lady!

She thought, and the eldest lady smiled kindly at her, "Grandma came to me in such a hurry, but what happened?" The tone sounded calm, but the eldest lady's clenched fists revealed her nervousness.

Shen Muqing hurriedly said Shen Zhen's words: "I said that I could help bring a letter." Look what you have to say to Xiao Gongzi! ”

The eldest lady was stunned for a long time, and there was a faint light in her eyes.

She took Shen Muqing's hand: "Does it mean that the imperial court is willing to welcome the emperor back?" ”

Shen Muqing couldn't answer this question, so she had to comfort her: "Being able to send someone is a good start." ”

The eldest lady nodded again and again: "It's really a bodhisattva blessing!" ”

Shen Muqing saw that her expression was relaxed, and he also breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "I'll grind the ink for you, you see what you have to say to Xiao Gongzi" When the words came out, he felt that it was inappropriate, and changed his words: "Otherwise, I will let the hosta come in to serve you"

When Shen Muqing finished speaking, the eldest lady shook her head: "No need." ”

Maybe you don't want the hosta to know the content!

Shen Muqing understood very well, nodded and said, "Then I'll grind the ink for you!" ”

The eldest lady sat there still, looked at Shen Muqing who was standing on the kang for a long time, and said in a low voice: "Grandma, although I am literate, I can't write, or I'll come and write?" ”

Shen Muqing was stunned.
