Chapter 222 The Mid-Autumn Festival

Xiao Sa went to the flower hall with a smile on his eyes, Chen Muqing tidied up his clothes, washed the pen on the ground and put it back on, stroked his hair, and returned to the main house. He also used the excuse that the weather was too hot, so he asked Mingxia to call warm water to clean it alone in the clean room.

His tired body was wrapped in warm water, which made Chen Muqing immediately feel sleepy.

After wearing underwear, she left the clean room, and fell asleep on the bed.

In the hazy state, Chen Muqing felt someone touching his face.

With a shiver, she sat up.

"What's wrong? What's wrong?" Qingyue's voice was filled with panic, "Are you having a nightmare?"

Chen Mu looked in the voice and saw Xiao Sa's worried face.

"Didn't have nightmares!" Chen Muqing couldn't help but be coquettish, "You suddenly came in, because you were shocked by you..."

Xiao Sa breathed a sigh of relief, smiled and kissed her face, and said, "Have you been sleeping well? Let's go for supper!"

Chen Muqing then realized that the light in the room had become a little dim.

She smiled and washed up again, and had dinner with Xiao Sa in the main hall.

After dinner, the couple drank tea and talked in the study.

"What did the third master of the Zheng family say?"

"Ya'an Prefecture and Jinzhou are one south and one north, several hundred miles apart." Xiao Sa smiled, "Although everyone is not familiar with each other, the boss who is doing business with the Zheng family and the prefect of the Ya'an Prefecture are close friends. The third master of the Zheng family wrote to ask me what I had plans and that he could cooperate with me at that time."

A strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake. A giant businessman like the Zheng family who has been operating in Sichuan for hundreds of years can always have relationships with local parents and officials, otherwise he would not have the business to do it.

Xiao Sa said again: "Mr. Peng, the third master of the Zheng family has also helped me find out."

Chen Muqing was very interested.

"Mr. Peng was born a little cold and had a posthumous son. He relied on his mother's hard work to support him in school. He was relatively honest after entering the government, so he had no family background. The spring of the previous year, Peng's mother fell ill and the medicine costed a lot of money. Later, the doctor prescribed a 'Dujin Soup'. He sold houses and land, barely paid for Peng's mother to take for a year and a half. He was really unable to bear it and cut off the medicine." At this point, Xiao Sa sighed, "Who knew that once the medicine was cut off, Peng's mother died in a few days..."

"So Lord Peng wants to make some money to protect himself?" Chen Muqing pondered.

Xiao Sa nodded: "I think so."

"That's the business thing together..."

Xiao Sa's smile was a little cold: "Who has nothing to do? If Peng Lingxun moves the grain in the granary because of this, he is not worthy of sympathy."

Chen Muqing agreed very much and nodded: "Yes."

"By the way," Xiao Sa looked like he suddenly remembered, "It would not work without Lord Peng's consent. Don't listen to the madam's contempt, you must have to use Lord Peng's hand to explain... so we can't explain anything clearly."

"I understand!" Chen Muqing looked solemn, "I will find a way to get Lord Peng's hand to mock him."

*******

Two days later, Mrs. Fang visited again.

"Mr. Peng agreed!" She smiled all over her face, "When I choose an auspicious day, let Mr. Xiao go to the county school!"

"Will this be too, too..." Chen Muqing hesitated, "There must be a procedure to write a recruitment article or something! Otherwise, if the husband goes rashly, will he be sneered by someone who is interested... Especially Mr. Guo. He is also hired by the county government, and is a serious teaching metaphor..."

After all, Mrs. Fang is an official wife, and she knows these procedures very well and can understand Chen Muqing's concerns. Moreover, because of Chen Muqing's proposal, Mrs. Fang has a feeling of mutual appreciation for Chen Muqing.

Although Xiao Sa was exiled here, he was born there, not those ordinary women who were illiterate, but he was whatever others said, and he didn't know how to distinguish right from wrong...

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel the desire to get along.

She hurriedly smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll tell our master about this."

Chen Muqing hurriedly stood up and saluted Mrs. Fang: "If my husband can go to the county school, it is all because you are dealing with me... Please accept my prayer."

Mrs. Fang smiled and received the gift from Chen Muqing and took her hand: "Mrs. Xiao, be polite. This is also the character and knowledge that our master appreciates Mr. Xiao... Mrs. Xiao doesn't have to be polite."

Chen Muqing shook Mrs. Fang's hand in his back: "It's Madam and I'm polite. I just hope that we can repay your friendship with Lord Fang..."

"Mrs. Xiao said this too much!" Mrs. Fang smiled, "You are in Kyoto and we are in Shanghai. It is a rare fate that everyone can get to know each other."

"As the wife said!" Chen Muqing responded.

The two of them talked about intimacy.

Seeing that it was getting late, Chen Muqing kept Mrs. Fang for dinner. Mrs. Fang was thinking about the children at home: "...The master went to the garage!"

Chen Muqing didn't keep much, so he asked Mingxia to take two abalone from Curry and two boxes of chicken and pastry for Mrs. Fang to take back for the children to eat.

Mrs. Fang thanked her and stood up to say goodbye.

At night, the couple talked in the study.

"The shop is located in Ya'an Mansion," Xiao Sa and Shen Muqing said about opening a rice shop with Peng Lingxun. "I will pay the capital and share the account with Lord Peng for four or six."

"We are four, are he six?"

Xiao Sa nodded: "It only cost three or four hundred taels of silver to buy this shop... He wants to cause trouble for me, so much more than this."

Chen Muqing also knew it and advised: "So don't be too serious about some things!"

Xiao Sa looked serious and smiled and said, "I can grasp the degree well. I can neither show incompetence nor show too smart. I am the best at this. You don't know, when I went to Gansu, Lord Zeng said nothing and threw us directly to the assistant minister. As a result, everyone thought I was a playboy whom Lord Zeng didn't want to offend Eunuch Wang and reluctantly accepted..."

Chen Muqing listened to him telling his previous stories with his elbow and chin.

Xiao Sa's eyes were brighter than the morning star, Xiao Sa's expression was excited and excited. Xiao Sa's eyes and eyebrows were filled with flying yang that could encourage people's hearts...

In the flash of lightning, she suddenly understood something.

Xiao Sa, never feared difficulties...

The master can see more clearly than himself and think more deeply.

Life is never as good as you want. He needs people to manage and seek... She only thinks about love and not love, only responsibility and obligation.

Xiao Sa felt his wife's eyes swaying, thinking that she was not interested in her topic, and smiled awkwardly: "It's all the youthful spirits..."

Chen Muqing came to his senses and saw Xiao Sa smiling a little embarrassedly, and hurriedly said, "I didn't have any energy when I was young. Should I be angry when I was old?" He thought of his expression just now and explained, "You talk about your youth, reminding me of the master when he was young..." He told Xiao Sa what happened to Chen Zhen when he was in Long'an Mansion.

Xiao Sa laughed loudly and asked, "Mr. should I give you the Mid-Autumn Festival gift?"

Chen Muqing nodded, stood up and took an exquisite black painted gold-painted box from his bookshelf on the study: "I'll show you the gift list - I can't even make up what I can give?"

"...Two boxes of Wuyi tea..." Xiao Sa exclaimed and said with a smile, "There is Wuyi tea at home?"

"It was given by my second cousin when I came." Chen Muqing smiled, "It's just these two boxes."

Xiao Sa nodded: "Let the people who go to pay tribute to the master to ask if the master likes it or not. If he likes it, he will prepare this tea next year. Then I will ask the third master of the Zheng family to prepare it for us soon." As he said that, he looked down at the gift list, "... Two boxes of macakes, two boxes of honey cakes, and two boxes of glutinous rice cakes... Will there be some less? This is a specialty from Sichuan!"

"There are few people in the family and I have food. Am I afraid of the road going bad?"

"The more you go north, the colder the weather will not be bad." Xiao Sa said with certainty, taking a pen and adding a stroke on it, "It's just twenty boxes of each, right?"

Chen Muqing nodded.

Xiao Sa had no objection to the others. Seeing that there were still a few pieces of paper under the box, he looked at Chen Muqing and asked strangely: "This is..."

"It's a gift list for the old man, father-in-law and eldest wife."

Xiao Sa was slightly stunned: "I forgot about this!"

Is it because I don’t kiss you in my heart?

Chen Muqing sighed in his heart, but a smile appeared on his face: "Is that because you didn't get married before? Now that you have got married, the etiquette will naturally be different!"

"Yes!" Xiao Sa responded and lowered his head slightly. "When I was in Bahe, my uncles and brothers at home worked a lot. This is the first year since we got married - we are all on the road on Dragon Boat Festival. It's not a surprise that we missed it. Let's express our gratitude through the Mid-Autumn Festival!"

"I think so too!" Chen Muqing said, then took out all the gift lists under the box and showed them one by one, "This is for Mr. Min, this is for Lord Wang, this is for Lord Zeng..."

Xiao Sa flipped over and said, "On the other side of the family, add Xiao Cheng's name, and on the other side of Kyoto, add Dai Gui!"

Add Xiao Cheng?

Chen Muqing was a little surprised.

Xiao Sa sighed deeply and said, "Whether you hit someone in the face, I have given gifts to my brothers at home. Could it be that I will keep him alone? When others see him, they will gossip."

Chen Muqing couldn't help laughing when he looked reluctant.

She stepped forward and sat on the armrest of Xiao Sa's Grand Master's chair. She lay on his shoulder and looked at the gift list with him: "Poor Xiao Sa!"

Xiao Sa's back was a soft body, a faint fragrance lingered in the tip of his nose, and her pleasant laughter like a silver bell in his ears... For a moment, I felt that the fairyland in heaven was just like this!

He pulled Chen Muqing's hand that was on his shoulder and tried hard. Chen Muqing staggered into Xiao Sa's arms.

"Are you better?" He asked in a low voice by holding her in his lap and pressing her ear.

The heat plunged on her neck, causing her to tremble slightly, and her face became a little hot: "It's okay!"

"Be careful, then." Xiao Sa lowered his head and saw that his face, as white as snow, was dyed like peach blossoms in March, and couldn't help but go up and kissed him. "When I was a child, I heard from my mothers that I would eat raw and cold food when I came on the monthly basis, and my children would be in trouble in the future... I was still waiting to hug the fat boy!" At the end of his words, my eyes were filled with jokes.

What theory?

Chen Muqing complained in her heart, couldn't help but turn her head and say coquettishly, "What are you talking about?"

(Thank you sisters, there are very few updates this month, but I didn’t expect that the monthly ticket list will still be among the top three. Thank you...o(∩_∩)o...)(To be continued.
