Chapter 182

The Xiao couple looked at each other.

After a moment of silence, Xiao Zhao looked at Chen Muqing seriously: "You mean..."

Chen Muqing also looked at Xiao Zhao very seriously: "If my friend has not come back before Lord Wang left, I will lobby for the master. Then, please ask Master Xiao and Lord Wang to discuss a countermeasure and see if you can find a way that is most beneficial to Xiao Sa."

Xiao Zhao looked at Chen Muqing hesitantly.

The eldest wife said anxiously: "This, is this okay? I don't know if Mr. Shen will agree?"

Chen Muqing comforted the eldest lady, smiled and nodded at her, and looked at Xiao Zhao and said, "As you said, the emperor really doesn't want the emperor to come back. But under pressure, he also has to act like a gesture, give the ministers and give the world an explanation, so he sent a small position and a mission to the ministers. He has no decision-making power to serve the ministers and serve the mission to Bahe... I think that if my friend can bring back some useful news to us before Lord Wang goes to Bahe, we will not have to act recklessly like a blind man touching an elephant; if my friend cannot come back, we must also find a way to persuade Lord Wang - only if he is willing, we can save the person."

The eldest wife looked at Xiao Zhao.

Xiao Zhao was silent for a moment and stared at Chen Muqing's eyes: "Just do what you said!"

Chen Muqing breathed a sigh of relief.

She was really afraid that Xiao Zhao and the eldest wife would do their own things, so she not only did not save Xiao Sa, but instead made a bad thing.

Under such circumstances, Chen Muqing had to jump out and take charge of the overall situation.

The eldest wife felt that the Shen family was more confident than Xiao Zhao and herself to break around. Since Xiao Zhao agreed, she had nothing to worry about.

She smiled and took Chen Muqing's hand: "Muqing, please give me all about Sa'er."

"Don't worry!" Chen Muqing hurriedly assured the eldest wife, "I will tell you when there is news from the master."

The eldest wife begged her: "It's boring for me to live alone in the inn, and I'm worried about Sa'er, and life is even more difficult. If you have nothing to do, come and sit with me!"

Chen Muqing was stunned.

Not to mention that the aunt has not come back yet, the family’s gifts need to be hosted by herself. Even if the aunt comes back, she often walks around the eldest wife, which is probably going to cause gossip.

She was hesitating about how to answer the eldest lady so that she would not hurt the eldest lady's heart... Xiao Zhao hummed coldly.

Chen Muqing thought of his words - let Xiao Sa marry the daughter of the chief minister's family as his wife, so that his son can live a life with his eyes every day...

She smiled slightly and said, "As long as the eldest lady doesn't mind my mouth..."

"No, no." Before Chen Muqing finished speaking, the eldest wife said happily, "The people around me are all dull. I can't find someone to talk to... If you are willing to come, I'm not happy yet, so why would I dislike it?"

Chen Muqing nodded with a smile.

"Then I'll leave first!" Xiao Zhao said lightly, "If Mr. Shen is willing to see me, please send someone to come and tell me-I live in the Nanqianyuan of Liansheng Inn."

Chen Muqing was slightly stunned.

She guessed that Xiao’s father and Xiao’s mother would not live together, but she did not expect that the two of them would settle in Liansheng Inn at the same time, one of them lived in the East Hospital and the other of them lived in the South Hospital...

Xiao Zhao turned around and walked away quickly without waiting for her answer.

The room was silent.

Chen Muqing turned around and found that the eldest wife beside her looked at Xiao Zhao's back with a sad look.

She quietly took a step back, stood behind the eldest lady, and looked with her in the direction where Xiao Zhao was leaving.

It took a while before the eldest wife came to her senses.

She saw Chen Muqing standing behind her, and was slightly stunned, then laughed: "Let's go and see the vest I made for Sa'er."

This thing will be brought with you by Lord Wang at that time...

Chen Muqing thought and nodded.

The two returned to the bedroom, and the eldest lady asked the ginkgo to bring in a bag and opened it. It contained a black coarse cloth cage and a set of knee pads.

"Look at this pin, how about it?"

Chen Muqing picked it up and looked at it: "It's very fine."

The eldest lady breathed a sigh of relief: "I hired the best tailor to do it - I have never taken needles and threads since I was fourteen, and my hands and feet have long been out of control."

Chen Muqing thought of what she said she wanted to learn from the girl and take care of Xiao Sa's children...

"Everyone looks different!" She comforted the eldest wife, "For example, someone can use a month to embroider the embroidery piece and make ten taels of silver, but you can earn ten taels of silver in just one day. If you calculate this way, you will naturally be willing to exchange your day for someone else's month."

This is a cost issue...

The eldest lady listened and showed a gratitude expression.

She held Chen Muqing's hand tightly: "Really? Do you really think so?"

The female red needle is an important criterion for measuring a woman's virtue... No wonder the eldest wife feels uneasy!

Chen Muqing nodded sincerely: "I really think so!"

There was a little light in the eldest lady's eyes.

She pulled Chen Muqing to sit on the kang: "I asked the maids to put away everything-Let's sit down and talk."

Anyway, it was a waste of waiting. The eldest lady must have been worried about Xiao Sa’s affairs during this period. There was no one around her who made her feel caring about it. It would be better if she could comfort her!

Thinking of this, Chen Muqing sat down with peace of mind.

The maid served the two of them again and tiptoed back.

The eldest lady was drinking tea and chatting with Shen Muqing.

"I heard that your wife went there four years ago. I wonder who is currently hosting the gifts at home?"

Chen Muqing talked about family matters with his eldest wife.

"When the aunt helped the housekeeper--the wife was there, she always kept her duty, so the master let her be the home."

After all, it’s my own business, so I won’t say something if I can’t say it!

The eldest lady nodded: "Then are you used to living at home?"

I want to ask my aunt and housekeeper if he has deducted himself?

Chen Muqing smiled and said, "I also have my own house in Baizhifang. Because my aunt treats me well, I have always lived in Songshu Hutong."

The eldest lady sighed and said, "If Sa'er didn't sell the yard of Baishu Hutong, we would be closer now."

Songshu Hutong and Baishu Hutong are separated by two alleys, both of which belong to Jishanfang.

Shen Muqing but smiled without saying a word.

This is the Xiao family's housework, so she is not convenient for her to interfere.

"Speaking of this, it's a pity that the yard was sold." The eldest lady looked very reluctant. "I'm in the south and rarely come to Kyoto. The last time I came to Kyoto was five years ago. I knew that Sa'er had built a house in Beijing, so I went there to settle down. At that time, I fell in love with the yard - two osmanthus trees with eaves were planted next to Taiji, which was surrounded by the back house."

"Do you like the osmanthus tree very much?" Chen Muqing smiled.

"Yeah!" the eldest lady nodded, "The osmanthus tree on a half slope was planted in the southwest corner of the Xiao family. From August, the osmanthus fragrance was scented, and the whole city could smell it."

Chen Muqing's eyes fluttered: "Is the whole plant of osmanthus? Wouldn't it seem monotonous in other seasons?"

"Who said no!" said the eldest lady, "so I wanted to live in the back room-who knew that my second sister lived there. I didn't want to trouble her to move the place, so I moved into the southern room of the main room."

Chen Muqing originally wanted to ask when the osmanthus tree on the half slope of the Xiao family in Lincheng was planted? Who knew that the eldest wife was talking to her second sister...

She couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"I looked a little frivolous at that time, and deliberately flattered her in front of me. I didn't like it very much. I was afraid that she would take the maid in the room." The eldest lady looked at Chen Muqing's expression in secret, "Just ask Sa'er for her, guess what Sa'er said?"

Chen Muqing had already seen the eldest wife's intention - she wanted to explain to her the relationship between Xiao Sa and her second sister.

If I speak, wouldn’t it be that Wuyin Sanbailiang here has agreed to this matter?

She lowered her head and took a sip of tea.

"Sa'er frowned and waved at me." The eldest lady also took a sip of tea and said slowly, "I thought he didn't want it at first, but who knew that the next day, Pang Debao asked the maids to pack up the things for her second sister and asked her to go with me.

I kept her by my side and asked her some things carefully. Some of them, some of them, some of them were reasonable, and some were unreasonable. I knew she was a little arrogant and had been observing her carefully over the past few years. It turned out that she was going to train her before sending her to Sa'er. Who knew that Sa'er had no intention of asking her to go back at all. She also asked Pang Debao to bring me a letter, and if there was a good family, she would prepare a dowry for her second sister."

Chen Muqing was stunned. After a while, he said, "Then, does that second sister agree?"

The big lady's eyes passed by, and she smiled and said, "Why don't you want to? I have found someone for her and prepared to do the things for her in the twelfth lunar month - if you have money or not, marry a wife to celebrate the New Year. Although I'm not a wealthy family, I'm also a wealthy family. They have long been looking forward to marrying their wife into the house."

A fox confusion flashed in Chen Muqing's eyes.

In this case, why did the second sister act and speak in front of her? Could it be that the eldest wife wanted to help her save Xiao Sa so she said this specifically?

The thought flashed through her, and she felt that she was too concerned again!

No matter where Xiao Sa will go in the future, if Xiao Sa does this, it is reasonable and he must do his best to help him...

The eldest lady smiled with her expression and said with a clear smile: "Because it was a refrain, she was a little unhappy at first... Later, seeing that the other person had good looks, she nodded."

This is somewhat reasonable... After all, my second sister is married and she is not young anymore...

"I asked Pang Debao to Sa'er to tell Sa'er that Sa'er also specially asked Pang Debao to see her second sister's brother. Her brother was also happy for her and asked Pang Debao to bring 100 taels of silver and a few pieces of jewelry to add boxes for her sister... Sa'er also sent 200 taels of silver to add boxes for her!"

My second sister should be his first woman... I just used 200 taels of silver to pay...

Chen Muqing felt a little cold.

Even if my second sister is dissatisfied, what does this have to do with me?

Why did she act like that in front of herself?

Or, did she know Xiao Sa’s intentions?

Thinking of this, Chen Muqing's heart pounded.

Tu Xiaoque even lied to the eldest wife... Could it be that she misunderstood...

No, no, Baoliang said it clearly... He cannot turn a blind eye to the facts just because he likes him, or even help him find excuses...

For a moment, she felt confused. (To be continued. If you want to know what happens next, please log in. There are more chapters, support the author and support genuine reading!)
