Chen Muqing went back to the room to wash up again, changed into a silver-white gauze shirt, and a bean-green skirt with a tangled flower-shaped edge.

Seeing that she simply tied a Zaner and put nothing on it, Mingxia hesitated and said, "Do you want to wear a pearl flower?"

Chen Muqing walked to the mirror table and looked at it. He looked a little simple, and he couldn't eat or sleep well for a while, so his face looked bad.

She thought for a while and applied a light layer of pink mouth fat to her lips - her slightly pale face immediately brightened.

"That's it!" Chen Muqing smiled, "Those jewelry were left to me by my wife. If I lose one item when I go out, I will feel heartbroken."

Mingxia didn't know what to say, so she nodded and went to the flower hall with Chen Muqing.

Yingfen was sharp-mouthed. Tu Xiaoque said one sentence, she could reply ten sentences, and every sentence was not good, and every sentence was annoying. Tu Xiaoque had to say nothing, and Yingfen thought she didn't say anything.

"...But I think I'm a maid?" She covered her mouth and smiled, "Good sister, you'll only last a few years, so I have to be careful when I serve you. I'll ask my sister to teach me so as not to do this thing of serving tea and water every day."

Chen Muqing was hearing this sentence when he walked in.

She couldn't help but frown.

As the saying goes, don’t pursue the enemy. If you force someone to be too anxious, you can do anything. Isn’t there another saying, “The rabbit still bites someone when you are anxious.” It would be bad for Yingfen to keep people at this point…

Chen Muqing coughed gently.

Yingfen immediately stood up, and shouted "Auntie" with a slightly red face.

Tu Xiaoque, who was about to refute, saw this and stood up.

She looked at Yingfan angrily and said, "Auntie, this person in your room is really talkative..."

Some of the meaning of complaints.

Chen Muqing hurriedly interrupted her and said with a smile: "Second sister, you can wait here. I ordered the kitchen to make a few pieces of food--we will go to see the eldest wife of the Xiao family together later."

Tu Xiaoque was shocked: "Go, go see the eldest wife... Yes, what's the matter?" His expression looked very guilty.

Chen Muqing smiled coldly in his heart.

Are you afraid that I will please your mother-in-law?

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

A panic flashed in Tu Xiaoque's eyes.

Chen Muqing narrowed his eyes slightly.

Why did she feel guilty?

*******

Liansheng Inn in Jintaifang is a very inconspicuous small inn. The light on the storefront is a bit dark, so that the people and things in the shop look a little gray.

An old man with white hair and beard on the counter was sitting in front of the counter talking to a child dressed in a waiter.

Seeing Tu Xiaoque coming in, he turned around and smiled and said to Tu Xiaoque: "Second sister is back!" He also instructed the waiter: "Let me lead the way."

Tu Xiaoque was very respectful to the man. She smiled and bowed her knees with a little flattery, and shouted "Shopkeeper Hu".

Manager Hu nodded politely at her, but his eyes fell on the master and servant Chen Muqing beside her.

Chen Muqing was as pineapple-shaped as he nodded slightly to the shopkeeper.

Manager Hu nodded to her with a smile.

The waiter ran out of the counter in a flash: "Second sister, please follow me."

Tu Xiaoque responded and followed the waiter in.

Chen Muqing followed him calmly.

I looked at the somewhat decadent shop outside, but when I walked in, I had a different world.

The pavilions and towers are winding and secluded, with elegant atmosphere and elegantness. They do not look like an inn, but to the back garden of a wealthy family.

The eldest wife lived in a courtyard surrounded by green trees to the east. The waiter led them to the door, saluted and left.

Tu Xiaoque stepped forward and knocked on the door.

A mother in her forties came to answer the door.

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

Tu Xiaoque hurriedly said respectfully: "Mama Wu, this is the aunt of the Shen family."

When the mother Wu heard this, a hint of panic flashed across her face. She hurriedly opened both doors and said in a terrified tone: "I don't know if the distinguished guest is here, I'm rude!"

Are you too polite?

Chen Muqing muttered in her heart, smiling on her face: "Mom is so polite. It was me who came in a hurry and disturbed me."

"Auntie, don't say that!" Wu's mother saluted Chen Muqing, with a little confused look on her face. A little maid was running inward beside her. Wu's mother respectfully accompanied Chen Muqing inward.

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

From a distance, she showed a very happy smile to Chen Muqing.

"Why did my aunt come suddenly? Let me say it in advance, I'll go to welcome you too."

Chen Muqing was really not used to asking an elder to receive such a polite reception.

She bent her knees and saluted the eldest wife: "I'm so anxious to come, I'm disturbing you!"

"What do you say to disturb me or not!" The eldest lady hurriedly stepped forward and took her hand, "Qiu Laohu is amazing, follow me into the house - it's cool inside!"

Chen Muqing let the eldest wife join hands with her in good manners, and the two of them entered the house side by side.

There were three main rooms, and there were two men in their thirties standing in the main room. Seeing Chen Muqing coming in, the two of them immediately lowered their heads.

The eldest wife pointed at the two men and said, "These are two managers under my command. The taller one is Shi, and the other one is Wang."

In this way, Chen Muqing had to politely call "Shopkeeper Shi" and "Shopkeeper Wang".

Neither of them dared to look up, and even said "I dare not".

The eldest wife said to the two officials: "This matter is settled. I will not leave Kyoto for the time being. If you think it is difficult to deal with, I will report to the uncle and let him deal with it in person."

The two managers respectfully agreed "yes" and then walked out with their heads down.

Chen Muqing was shocked to realize that Xiao Sa's father didn't seem to appear? When something happened to his son such a big deal, he didn't appear?

The eldest lady seemed to see her surprise, and took her hand to the bedroom to the east and explained to her: "We are both busy. When Sa'er had an accident, the old man also came - instead of waiting for two of them, it's better to just leave one. There are still many things to make a decision at home."

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

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

With random thoughts, the two of them had already walked to the big kang next to the window and sat down.

Following the eldest wife out to welcome her two maids to refresh themselves.

The eldest wife pointed to one of them wearing silver-red and red-shaped armor and said, "This is a maid." She pointed to another maid wearing bean-green and green, and said, "This is ginkgo."

Chen Muqing knew that these were the two powerful people around the eldest lady, and nodded to Yingfan on the side.

Yingfen immediately took out two purses and handed them to them.

Chen Muqing smiled and said, "A little bit of gadget."

The two accepted it generously and saluted Chen Muqing.

Yingfen took out a few red painted gold boxes from the little maid behind him and handed them to the two: "My aunt brought some food made at home to her and gave it to her for the eldest lady to taste."

Hoona and Ginkgo quickly took the box with both hands.

"You are too polite, so you can bring me some food!" The eldest lady looked at Chen Muqing with a smile, looking very happy.

"I'm just a few snacks made at home."

"You can think of me anytime, which makes me happy than anything else." The eldest lady looked at Chen Muqing with bright eyes, looking glad that she couldn't help but feel happy.

Chen Muqing couldn't help but feel ashamed.

This cannot be said that I am thinking about her all the time...

The eldest lady didn't wait for Chen Muqing to answer and pointed at Yingfen: "I know this person, whose name is Yingfen..." and pointed at Mingxia again, "What's this person's name? He's very handsome!"

It's a perfect style.

Chen Muqing sighed in his heart, let Yingfen and Mingxia come forward to salute the eldest wife.

The eldest lady looked at several maids carefully and said with a smile: "Miss aunt is surrounded by smart people."

Chen Muqing didn't want people to look down on his people. He pointed to Yingfen and said, "Staff have been by my side since I was a child. When Kyoto was surrounded, she accompanied me in Kyoto." He also pointed to Mingxia, "The family members went to Jiangnan to avoid disaster, and she helped to take care of them on the road, and acted steadily..."

The eldest lady nodded after hearing this, and returned with her jade hairpin and took a pouch to reward the people who followed Chen Muqing.

Seeing that the maids around the eldest wife were so generous, they naturally did not show any signs of power. They took the purse without being humble or arrogant, thanked him, and stood beside Shen Muqing in a regular manner.

The eldest wife asked Yuzhan: "You took several sisters and second sisters around you to go down to have tea."

Chen Muqing also had something to say to the eldest wife, so he naturally nodded.

Yingfen and Mingxia then took the man and the jade hairpin backed down.

Tu Xiaoque walked at the end and before leaving the door, he still looked at Chen Muqing uneasyly.
