Chen Muqing understood.

Hesitated: "It's just that the master is no longer in office now..."

"I just want to ask Lord Shen for some things," Xiao Sa pondered, "The Great Zhou army has Liaodong in the east, Gansu and Xuantong in the west, and Fujian in the south. I won't talk about Fujian and Liaodong. Both generals are highly respected, so naturally they cannot be compared. However, General Liang Yuan of Xuantong and General Zeng were promoted one after another, and the qualifications were similar, but Xuantong's military pay has always been allocated earlier and faster than ours. I have also walked a lot in Kyoto in the past few years, but the effect is not great. I have been wondering if there is something I have ignored or not managed... Lord Shen's mind and vision have always been very impressed, and I have wanted to ask for advice, but you have not come back in Jiangnan..."

Chen Muqing looked at Xiao Sa in surprise: "Have you been to our house?"

Xiao Sa thought about it and gently held his jaw.

"Every time I go to Kyoto to do business, I will go to your house to see you, but I have never been able to meet you!"

Chen Zhen is now retreating at home, except for a few old friends, and there are few visitors. Politicians like him are used to care about the dynamics of the temple... If Xiao Sa asks him as a junior, Chen Zhen can have someone to talk to, and secondly, he might be able to really help Xiao Sa...

Chen Muqing immediately nodded: "Since that's the case, then go to see the master with me - I'm about to go back to Songshu Hutong."

Xiao Sa nodded.

Chen Muqing then remembered: "Have you had breakfast?"

Xiao Sa's eyes flashed: "No!"

Chen Muqing hurriedly called Yingfen: "Young Master Xiao hasn't eaten yet," and said, looking back at Xiao Sa, "Have you taken the servant to follow?"

Xiao Sa shook his head.

Chen Muqing ordered Yingfen: "Go and tell Lin Jincai's house and get some food for Mr. Xiao."

Yingfen left in response.

Chen Muqing couldn't help but complain, "So too, why don't you take care of someone when you go out! If there is anything, there is a way to take care of it."

"You said that I was like a child who could not live without adults!" Xiao Sa replied, "How could I be so cute?"

Chen Muqing was not afraid of his spoiledness, but his temper.

"Where is Manager Pang? Didn't he follow you?"

"I'm not a civil servant, and he can't be an aide!"

"What about Baoliang? He should be quite a small year, right?"

"I'll send him back to Lincheng, so that he won't chirp in my ears."

"Who is serving around you?"

"Kim Liang and Yu Liang. Don't worry, there are people around me!"

"Are you used to it in Gansu?"

"What's wrong with me? I followed my second uncle to transport the canal transportation at the age of ten. Don't think I'm a tiny little face without any power."

Chen Muqing's tone slowed down and said, "Have you got married?"

"No!" Xiao Sa was very straightforward, "I only had a salary of 72 taels a year, and I was not enough for myself. When getting married, what should my wife and children eat? What should I use?"

Chen Muqing smiled: "If you have money to pay off your debts to your third brother, you won't have money to marry a wife."

"Oh!" Xiao Sa was a little annoyed, "Why do you always talk to me like an old woman when you meet me? Can't you calm down?"

Shen Mu is clear and qi is thriving.

Xiao Sa smiled again: "Okay, okay, what are you doing when you say this? I haven't eaten yet. Let's talk about it after you have something to do..."

Yingfen just happened to come in and tell him: "Auntie, where is the breakfast?"

Chen Muqing looked at the flower hall.

Cleaned cleanly, and there were holly trees on the high table in the corner of the wall.

"Just eat here, can you?" she asked Xiao Sa.

"Okay!" Xiao Sa nodded.

Yingfen went out and brought in with Mingxia.

Where else have anyone gone?

Chen Muqing thought, Yingfen and Mingxia had already started serving dishes and chopsticks.

Ten small copper enamel bowls as big as palms were filled with shredded rabbit meat, white-boiled chicken shredded chicken, wine lees, hot cucumber, five-spice cooked mustard, vegetarian fried soybean sprouts, mushroom fried ham, cold radish, garlic sauce, and a bowl of black, I don’t know what it was. Finally, I served a bowl of steaming vegetarian noodles served in a red tide bowl.

Xiao Sa was stunned when he looked at it.

Chen Muqing pointed to the dark thing and said, "What is this?"

"This is the five-sided fermented black beans." Ying Fen looked at Xiao Sa, "Lin Jincai's family said that Shanxi people are willing to eat this."

Why haven't I heard of it?

Chen Muqing was in his heart and looked at Xiao Sa.

Xiao Sa smiled and nodded: "It is used to mix the water surface." While saying that, he had already done it himself, poured the garlic juice into the noodles and picked some fermented black beans into the noodles.

"Eat less salty things." Chen Muqing changed the cold radish and Wufang fermented black beans in a different position, "Eat more vegetables."

Xiao Sa said "yes" and buried her head in eating noodles.

Chen Muqing saw the curtains in the flower hall swaying gently.

"Who is outside?" Chen Muqing looked at Yingfen, "Go and take a look!"

Yingfen responded, lifted the curtain and whispered a few words outside, and smiled and folded back: "Auntie, it's Bu Yue. Just come and see if there are any instructions."

Chen Muqing nodded, and felt that it was a bit inappropriate for him to sit next to him and watch Xiao Sa eat noodles.

She stood up and was about to speak when Xiao Sa suddenly looked at her.

"I have one more thing, I want you to help."

Chen Muqing listened, sat down again and said, "What's the matter? Just tell me."

Xiao Sa glanced at Yingfan and Mingxia who were standing beside him to serve.

Both of them were sharp-eyed and immediately bent their knees and retreated.

Seeing that there was no one in the room, Chen Muqing asked again: "What's the matter?"

Xiao Sa hesitated for a while with the chopsticks and said, "Can you find a place for me to live?"

Chen Muqing was stunned.

Xiao Sa hurriedly said, "I will leave at the end of November and stay for a month and a half at most. It won't be too long."

Chen Muqing saw a hint of begging flashing in his eyes, and felt soft, and said, "Or, you can live here. There are two rooms next to the flower hall."

Xiao Sa hesitated for a while and said, "The Baizhifang is too far away from the six ministries... Can you tell Lord Shen and let me live there?"

Now Chen Muqing was hesitant.

"The back room is also fine... I embezzled part of the military pay, and now I use one money as two... Although the inn is less money, I can save a little bit!"

"How can you move military pay?" Chen Muqing's voice lowered, "I'll make up for how much has he moved? It's almost the end of the year. If the money that should be paid has not been paid, be careful to cause military changes... Why are you so confused?"

"It doesn't matter. Just wait until the military pay of the Ministry of War is pulled down!" Xiao Sa disagreed. "The military affairs are complicated. You don't understand. It's serious to find a place for me to live in. Baizhifang is in the outer city. I have social engagements these days, so it's too late to leave the city gate. And if you have any questions, you can discuss Lord Shen at any time."

Chen Muqing thought for a while and said, "I can't make the decision on this matter. You can discuss the master later and he needs to agree. After all, it's his family."

Xiao Sa glanced at her and nodded solemnly: "I understand!"

Chen Muqing thought of another thing, and she stood up again: "Eat quickly, be careful that the noodles are cold. I'll go."

Xiao Sa said "yes", and Chen Muqing had already left in a hurry.

She went to the study room of the main house, and after a while, she came out with a black painted gold-painted box in both hands.

When I saw Bu Yue pulling Yingfen anxiously, she whispered something in a low voice.

Chen Muqing frowned and shouted "Yingfan".

Ying Fen was shocked and jumped up in fear.

Her face was full of panic and she shouted "Auntie".

"What's going on?" Chen Muqing looked at Yingfan coldly.

Yingfen's face immediately turned red. Bu Yue looked at Yingfen and stepped forward and reported, "Auntie, the eldest grandma of the Liang family in Dingyuan Hou Mansion wants to see you. Are you waiting outside the door?"

Grandma of the Liang family? Wang Wenhui?

Chen Muqing could not hide his surprise.

"Auntie, I didn't mean to hide it from you." Yingfan hurriedly stepped forward and explained, "I was thinking that you don't have to pay attention to the Liang family anymore..."

If you don’t see each other, you have to decide for yourself!

Chen Muqing looked unhappy, but in front of Bu Yue, she couldn't scold Yingfen. She just nodded in a hurry and ordered Bu Yue: "Go and welcome the eldest young lady to the east wing room to sit. I'll come soon."

Bu Yue left in response.

Chen Muqing didn't even look at Yingfan and went to the flower hall.

Xiao Sa had finished breakfast, the dishes and bowls on the table had been collected, and he was drinking tea.

Seeing Chen Muqing come in, he smiled and pointed at the tea in his hand and said, "I am really worthy of being a tea business. This tea is really good!"
