Chapter 215 Away to Yanzhou

Back at the Xiao family, the eldest lady couldn't wait to greet her: "Why didn't the in-laws come?" ”

I'm worried about Xiao Sa's safety!

Shen Muqing smiled and said the reason why Xiao Sa went to Yanzhou in advance: "....... Knowing that Xianggong was kept by Master Min, Tian's father-in-law couldn't catch Mr. Min's handle, so he embarrassed him in the matter of Xianggong's demotion The lord asked us to keep a low profile, and after a few years, when the rumors passed, we were thinking of other ways! ”

The eldest lady breathed a sigh of relief, folded her hands and chanted, "Amitabha!" "Blessings and misfortunes depend on each other, and there is no way to do it. I think that at the beginning, when Mr. Min was rescued from Sa'er, he probably didn't expect that it would affect him now......." Before the words fell, a little girl rushed over: "Seventh grandma, seventh grandma, the old lady, please come over." ”

Shen Muqing glanced at the eldest lady.

The eldest lady explained with a smile: "The old lady has been worried about you....... You're back, I'm afraid I'm going to ask you about Sa'er. ”

Shen Muqing nodded, and went to the east wing where the old lady lived with the eldest lady.

As the eldest lady expected, the old lady asked Shen Muqing to go just to ask Xiao Sa about it.

Shen Muqing recounted Mrs. Hui's words.

The old lady couldn't help but sigh when she heard this: "Thanks to the in-laws and masters, otherwise, I don't know how Xiao Qi died." ”

"Look at what you say!" The eldest lady said angrily, "Sa'er is in distress, how can there be any life and death." ”

The old lady listened and smiled: "It's me who said the wrong thing, it's me who said the wrong thing." ”

Treating the eldest lady like a daughter doting on Shen Muqing couldn't help but feel a little strange.

The old lady asked Shen Muqing again: "Your things are all packed up!" ”

Shen Muqing nodded: "It's all cleaned up." ”

"Don't worry about the maids who stay in Kyoto." The old lady smiled, "I'll give you the monthly money." ”

Whoever is paid will naturally do things for whom.

Shen Muqing didn't want to be greedy for this little bargain, so he politely refused.

The old lady didn't argue with her much about this matter, but just asked her, "What do you usually like about the in-laws?" ”

Shen Muqing smiled: "I like calligraphy and painting!" ”

"After all, he is a reader." The old lady nodded with a smile and changed the subject: "You can wait and rest for a while...... At the beginning of Shen's journey, the chief happened to rest in Ping'an County. ”

Shen Muqing knew that the old lady had finished asking what he wanted to ask, so he got up and saluted and retreated.

"Marrying my daughter to Xiao Qi at this time is not something that ordinary people can do." After Shen Muqing left, the old lady instructed the eldest lady, "You want to find a way to buy a few precious calligraphy and paintings, I want to visit my in-laws tomorrow." ”

The eldest lady replied with a respectful "yes", hesitated for a moment, and hesitated: "Are you really going to let Sa'er be in charge?" ”

The old lady replied with a smile and said, "It's okay to spend more money, don't buy fake paintings." ”

The eldest lady couldn't help frowning when she heard this: "Sa'er has enough things now, you can't use him as a sword test stone anymore!" ”

"I know, I know!" The old lady saw that the eldest lady was very annoyed, and hurriedly said, "The palms and backs of the hands are full of meat, and I won't ignore Xiao Qi." ”

The inn is small, but the courtyard is elegant, and the rooms are gorgeous, not like a place to do business, but the courtyard of a wealthy merchant.

Shen Muqing couldn't help but look at Pang Debao in astonishment.

Except for Kyoto City, after walking for only an hour, Pang Debao proposed to stop at this inn and leave early tomorrow morning.

Pang Debao hurriedly explained with a smile: "This is a branch of Liansheng Inn! ”

Shen Muqing thought of the Liansheng Inn in Kyoto: "The branch of the Liansheng Inn ...... But what's the point? ”

"The owner of the Liansheng Inn, the Hou family, was originally the head of the Zheng family. After the death of the eldest lady's father, several chief stewards had their own hearts, and only the Hou family consistently supported the eldest lady...... Later, the eldest lady funded the Hou family to open this Liansheng Inn. Therefore, Liansheng Inn also does more business with the Zheng family. ”

Shen Muqing understands - this Liansheng Inn is, to put it bluntly, a subordinate enterprise of the Zheng family. The Xiao family's arrangement is probably also out of safety considerations.

"Then do you know where Xiao Sa is now?" She asked, a little worried.

Pang Debao said with a smile: "Although I don't know where the Seventh Young Master is, I know that the second and third masters of the Zheng family can participate in the wedding of the Seventh Young Master, and they are arranging for the Seventh Young Master's entry into Sichuan."

With so many people helping, Xiao Sa should be fine!

Although he thought so in his heart, in the unfamiliar environment, Shen Muqing still tossed and turned for a long time before barely falling asleep.

Early the next morning, Mingxia came in with bird's nest porridge.

Shen Muqing looked at the crystal white porridge and asked, "Is it made from the bird's nest of Santang's sister-in-law?" ”

Before leaving yesterday, everyone sent her a lot of things, and even the fourth wife, who has always been very picky about her, also gave her a pack of gastrodia.

Mingxia smiled: "No. This is made in the store. ”

Shen Muqing nodded, drank the bird's nest porridge, and a guy came to Bing: "The shopkeeper is here to greet the seventh grandmother." ”

She was slightly surprised.

Mingxia whispered on the side: "I heard that you are going to Yanzhou Wei to accompany your uncle, and the shopkeeper has to come to ask you for peace!" ”

Shen Muqing thought that the owner of this Liansheng Inn had served the eldest lady's father...... Then he said, "Let him in!" ”

The shopkeeper was a man in his thirties, handsome and elegant, and respectfully invited Shen Muqing and asked Shen Muqing if he was used to eating. Shen Muqing saw that the shopkeeper was so polite, so naturally he would not have any complaints, and said yes in a loud voice. The shopkeeper only smiled slightly when he heard this, and then greeted Shen Muqing for a moment and got up to say goodbye.

Shen Muqing asked Mingxia to send the shopkeeper, cleaned up, and re-embarked on the road with Pang Debao.

Along the way, they all stopped at the Liansheng Inn.

Shen Muqing gradually found that as long as she ate more dishes or drank tea in the previous Liansheng Inn, the next Liansheng Inn would find a way to make this dish, and gradually, all the food and utensils arranged by the inn became her favorite.

Because Pang Debao's itinerary is very slow, she is a bit like she is touring the mountains and rivers, but there has been no news of Xiao Sa, which makes her very worried. Despite this, she didn't dare to reveal half of the letter she wrote to Shen Zhen, but only described the scenery along the way and the hospitality of Liansheng Inn to herself.

The calm days made Shen Muqing often wonder if the parting with Xiao Sa that day was her illusion, but the changing scenery outside the car made her understand that she was getting farther and farther away from Kyoto.

At the end of July, they finally entered Sichuan.

She was greeted by the third wife of the Zheng family.

She was a medium-sized woman, with snow-white skin, big watery eyes, and a silver-red embroidered gown.

Seeing Shen Muqing, she happily pulled Shen Muqing's hand: "I have been looking forward to it day and night, and I finally brought you here." ”

Shen Muqing was worried about Xiao Sa: "Is there any news of my father-in-law?" ”

The third lady nodded again and again, and said with a smile: "Xiao Qi went north from Rongcheng eight days ago—I think I have arrived in Yanzhouwei." He also thinks about you, and specially asked me to pick you up. Let me bring you a letter, so that you can rest assured, you don't have to rush to Yanzhouwei in such a hurry, and let you go to Jinzhou to play for a few days. ”

Shen Muqing bluntly refused: "We have now arrived in Sichuan, when can't we go to Jinzhou?" I'd better go to Yanzhouwei first! ”

The third lady didn't persuade her when she heard this, she responded with a smile and accompanied her to Huding County, where Yanzhou Wei was located.

The more you go to Huding County, the rougher the scenery becomes, and the more ragged the crowd along the way.

Shen Muqing thought about her father's instructions, "You may not have money to buy it", she couldn't help but nervously instructed Mingxia to bring the medicinal materials sent by Shi Jingmei.

At the beginning of August, they finally arrived in Huding County.

Yanzhou Wei is in the northwest of Huding County, less than 30 miles away from the county government of Huding County. The place that the Zheng family found for the Xiao family and Shen Muqing was in the back street of the county office, on the most prosperous street in Huding County.

Shen Muqing looked at the cleaned house, and thanked the third wife again and again.

The third lady kept returning the salute and said with a smile: "Seventh grandma has lived in Kyoto for a long time, and I don't know if you are satisfied or not." If you need anything, just tell the shopkeeper of the Maoxian rice shop - the rice shop is our Zheng family's property. ”

Shen Muqing responded, called Pang Debaolai, asked him to go to Yanzhouwei, told Xiao Sa that he had arrived safely, and asked Li's mother to go to the restaurant to ask for a few dishes, and leave the third wife for dinner.

The dish was spicy and spicy, Shen Muqing was not very used to such a taste, so he just did his duty as a director to accompany the third wife to eat some.

The third wife persuaded her: "Huding County is humid, eat some spicy, you can get rid of the dampness." ”

There are still a lot of places to get used to in the future!

Shen Muqing thought about it and nodded heavily.

The third wife stayed for a night's rest, and early the next morning, under the pretext that there were still many things at home, she returned to Jinzhou under the escort of the Zheng family.

Shen Muqing opened the cage to decorate the house, and Pang Debao came back in the evening: "The seventh young master said that he knows." He also has something to say to the thousand households of Yanzhou Wei, and he will come over to see his grandmother when he is free. ”

The exiled people have to live under the supervision of the Yanzhou Wei Qianhu, and there is no freedom without a thousand households turning a blind eye.

Shen Muqing thought about it, opened the cage and took a silver ticket of 1,000 taels to Pang Debao: "Bring it to the young master." ”

Pang Debao smiled and walked away.

In the next few days, Shen Muqing cleaned up the house, combed a bun that ordinary women often comb, wore a blue coarse cloth dress and went to walk around the street with Li's mother, and went to see the Maoxian rice shop.

It also has a pungent smell of lacquer...... The rice shop turned out to be a new one.

Shen Muqing couldn't help but feel a little moved in his heart.

The Zheng family really tried their best for this nameless nephew!

After roughly understanding the layout of Huding County, Shen Muqing returned home.

Compared with other houses in the backstreet, the house that the Zheng family found for them even looked a little old on the outside, but when they entered the door, the flowers and trees were Fusu, the pink walls and gray tiles, simple and generous, Shen Muqing liked it very much.

When I entered the house, it was full of red lacquer and gold furniture, which looked magnificent.

She couldn't help but wonder if this was the Zheng family's usual style - the Great Zhou Dynasty was a little depressed on the food and clothing of the merchants, so those giants tried to make a fuss about the decoration of the inner house.

The outer courtyard was managed by Pang Debao, and he asked the Zheng family for four nursing homes, one of which was a car. Looking at the inner courtyard in addition to the big girl Mingxia and Ning Bi, a Li mother was left by Shen Muqing's mother, and she was a person who could not be supported, although Yuegui had good cooking skills, but she was alone, at most, she could only help the inner house make some snacks and supper, so the third wife of the Zheng family asked for two rough mothers, two mothers on the stove, two little maids who did needlework, and two little maids who called Mingxia and Ning Bi. There is gradually some weather in the house.
