Chapter 23 Mixed Responses
"There is such a thing!" Chen Zhen was quite surprised, "I said why did I meet someone from the Ye family again and report the letter so quickly."
"Since that's the case, I think it's just a book review, and it's a bit negligent," Mr. Min looked very interested, "It's better to let me, Brother Dai Shiming, meet this young man."
Chen Muqing is well versed in speaking. Instead of hiding it, it is better to vague it in key places, which will have a better effect.
Thinking of Xiao Sa's temper, she couldn't help but regret it secretly.
If I had known this, it would have been better to let General Manager Wang secretly take a copy of Chen Zhen's greeting to Xiao Sa... Mr. Min still doesn't know what kind of result will be.
Unexpectedly, Chen Zhen opposed it: "It's just a few days before the spring exam, so don't worry about this. After asking for your name, you know that you are studying in the Imperial College, and you are afraid that you will not be able to do it in the future... What's more, you and I have other things to do!"
Mr. Min showed a little disappointed, but he did not persist.
Chen Muqing then breathed a sigh of relief, secretly winked at General Manager Wang, and then took the opportunity to say goodbye.
Manager Wang was also a clever person and hurriedly said, "I'll take the girl out."
Chen Zhen and Mr. Min had something to say, so naturally no one cared about these small matters.
After leaving Jiusizhai, Chen Muqing ordered General Manager Wang: "You go to Chang, Master Sun's house to worship, you must ask clearly about the situation at home, and ask how the Weiyuan Escort Agency has arranged the two families, and then come and reply to me."
Manager Wang hurriedly responded "Yes".
Chen Muqing took Luo Mei and Zhu Ji back to Anyuan.

It was too late at that time, with no stars or moon. Chen Muqing thought of passing through the cliff road beside Li's yard, and he didn't even dare to light the lamp, and he quietly walked through the cliff road with Luo Mei and Zhuji.
When they got closer, they found that the corner door was tightly closed.
Luo Mei stepped forward and shouted "Yingfan".
The door opened suddenly with a "ah".
Yingfen covered the small horn lamp in his hand with his sleeves and whispered: "Miss, I'm back, my wife just left!"
Chen Muqing was startled: "Why did my wife suddenly get out of bed? She came to our yard at this time?"
While talking, several people entered the yard.
Yingfen whispered: "It was Aunt Chen, Cui Lu and Cheng Xiang who came with me. I was so scared that I was so scared that I asked the girl, and I said: I fell asleep. Fortunately, my wife didn't go into the house to see her, otherwise, I really don't know how to do it."
They walked through the caravan and entered the main hall, thinking that the window was filled with glass, even with curtains, and the lights could be seen outside, so they did not dare to light the lights and touched them into the bedroom.
"Mrs. I haven't entered the house, so what are she doing?" Chen Muqing said.
Yingfen said: "I went to see Jinxiu."
Chen Muqing was even more worried: "What's wrong with Jinxiu? Have you ever been talking nonsense?"
"After taking the medicine, I went to bed early. Mingxia watched from the side. When the wife went there, she slept so deeply that she didn't even turn over."
Chen Muqing felt relieved and thought that there was something calming in the medicine.
"What did the madam say?" she asked.
"I didn't say anything..." Yingfen replied, but there was a hint of uncertainty in his tone.
Zhu Ji said, "When is this? How much has the girl taken on us? You are still only caring about your own reputation at this time."
Ying Fen said angrily: "If I have this intention, I will thunder the sky..."
"The girl said in the morning that we should work together to break the gold. You guys will be fine, and they will start arguing at night." Luo Mei, who had always been cautious, also spoke, "You will say less each one. What is the girl asking, what is the answer to?
Ying Fendu said, "Don't I think this is not a problem, but I feel a little unreasonable!"
"What's the matter?" Chen Muqing said, "You tell me from the beginning."
Yingfen said, "When the lady heard that the girl had fallen asleep, she went to see Jinxiu. Seeing that Jinxiu was sleeping soundly, she asked Mingxia a few words like "What medicine should I use?" When she went out, she happened to meet the little maid Huan'er who put her clothes to wash. The vine was covered with the lotus pattern plain silk silk narrow sleeve trouser that Jinxiu wore out today. The wife flipped over and asked Huan'er, 'Whose this is this? Huan'er said 'It's Sister Jinxiu'. The wife snorted coldly, said nothing, turned around and left. I saw this a little strange, and I couldn't tell what was wrong."
Chen Muqing had been enduring the pain in his feet. Now that he returned to the house, he immediately collapsed on the edge of the bed: "This dress was worn by his wife when she was young. She was given to Jinxiu last year, so it should not be considered an offense!"
The Great Zhou Dynasty had strict regulations on clothing, but in recent years everyone has only been respectful and has been wearing messy clothes. Otherwise, why would Xiao Sa wear a piece of Tianshuibi clothes? How dare the Shen family use a makeup python to make a bun for Chen Muqing?
Yingfen just felt that the wife's expression was strange at that time, as if she was hated. Now, after hearing what Chen Muqing said, it is hard to say anything.
Luo Mei immediately smiled and said, "Yes, we were going to the temple because we were going to wear the good clothes we gave to our wife. When we were on an outing this spring, I was wearing a lilac-colored Bijia. My wife said it was not good to wear with my stone-green horse-faced skirt. She gave me a pink robe. She asked me to wear it at that time and said, don't walk beside the girl and lose her face."
Now, Yingfen is even more difficult to say.
Everyone was frightened and frightened all day long, so they kept holding on. After serving Chen Muqing to wash, Luo Mei took the initiative to go to the night and let Zhuji and Yingfen rest.
Zhu Ji pulled Yingfen and spoke in the room: "Did the wife look wrong at that time?"
Yingfen is the smartest among them, but because she is too smart, she has to win everything and take the lead in everything. Naturally, she is a little different when speaking and acting, and it is not very likable. The monthly routine has been at the third level. This spring, Chen Muqing said the whole family and only reached the second level. Zhu Ji lived in the same house for seven or eight years, but she knows her nature best and knows that she will not say this for no reason. Yingfen, among the sisters in the same house, the one who admires Zhu Ji the most, who can tolerate everything, so she often wants to learn from her. The two are more close than others.
After hearing Zhu Ji's question, Yingfen said bluntly: "Well, the wife's eyes stared at the clothes like a knife. I don't think something is right."
The two of them thought for a long time but didn't think of it. They were too tired and fell asleep after saying a few words.

The next day, Chen Muqing's feet hurt even more, and the blisters seemed to have yellow water flowed out. Seeing that the situation was wrong, she called Mother Wang in and asked Mr. Liu to come.
Mother Wang was so panicked: "At that time, he said he would go to invite Mr. Liu, but he said it was late. Doctor Wang is also very famous in Kyoto... Just show Jinxiu, why dare to treat the girl..." While complaining to General Manager Wang, he hurried to find him and asked someone to invite Mr. Liu to come over.
Chen Muqing smiled bitterly and changed into thin cotton gauze and wrapped her feet, and went to Li's place to pay tribute.
Under the eaves, I met Chen Yuerong who arrived earlier than her.
Chen Muqing couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Chen Yuerong looked at her very intimately and walked up to her hand and asked about the situation of going to the Yaowang Temple to burn incense. Hearing that tone, she didn't know what happened in the Yaowang Temple.
The two are actually not very old, and Chen Yuerong looks very beautiful. For some reason, Chen Muqing just can't get close to her. She always feels that a sharp aura that makes her uneasy often appears on her body, not as respectful as she appears.
She did not mention the incident in the Yaowang Temple and responded to her indifferently. Mother Tian came to greet Li with Dashe surrounded by a group of maids and wives.
Everyone had seen each other's favor, and Chen Yuerong went to hug the big house: "I am the youngest at home and I have never had a younger brother!"
Tian’s mother smiled but didn’t say anything.
Dashe obediently lay on Shen Yuerong's body, looking at the cat's eye stone on the pendant beside her ear.
Chen Yuerong smiled and said, "Brother She looks familiar - this is what my aunt admires me."
Chen Muqing then realized that the pair of earrings that Chen Yuerong wore was originally from Aunt Chen.
Tian’s mother asked Chen Muqing for a glance and hurriedly said, “Last time, Sister Yue made a pair of knee pants for her aunt, and her aunt gave her the earrings. This is the fate of Sister Yue and Sister Yue.”
Chen Yuerong's eyes were smiling like a crescent moon, and she was about to say something, but the orange scent came out: "Madam let the girl and the young master go in!"
The words stopped here, Tian’s mother hurriedly carried the big house and let Chen Yuerong walk in front. The group followed Shen Muqing into the house.
Everyone asked Li for help, and Chen Yuerong took a pair of felt-soled high and low shoes with crow-green satin-shaped five bats holding their birthday: "I took a break at home, so I made a pair of shoes for my wife, and I don't know if it's appropriate."
Cuilu hurriedly took it and handed it to Li.
"Sister Lao Yue has trouble!" Li took the shoes with a smile and looked at them, looking slightly stunned.
Chen Yuerong smiled and said, "I don't need that wooden foundation in the south anymore. I've used this felt foundation instead. When I walk, I don't know what to do. I'll just make my own decision and change it to you."
Li's eyes couldn't help but stayed at Chen Yuerong's skirt.
The big red Luo twelve-pleated horse-faced skirt reveals the pattern of plum, orchid and bamboo, revealing a pair of big red gold-headed high and low shoes all over the ground.
She looked at Chen Muqing with a smile: "Yuerong is good at needle fingers. When you have time, you can walk around with Muqing more often, make needles together, and have a companion."
If it were normal, Chen Muqing would move his feet like a bell. This time, he didn't dare to move, just watching Li finish his words so that he could sit down.
Surprise flashed through Li's eyes.
Chen Yuerong was extremely happy: "I have heard that my sister's needlework master came out of the palace, and the needlework was unusual. I didn't expect that I would have such a blessing."
Li responded absent-mindedly.
Chen Yuerong had already pulled Chen Muqing to talk aside and made an appointment to do a piece of needlework in the afternoon.
Chen Muqing responded politely with Shen Yuerong, while looking at Li thoughtfully.
Aunt Chen came in and asked where Li had a table.
