Chapter 55 Sending Wrong Jewelry (Weekend)
Chen Muqing was unable to resist Liang Youhui's enthusiasm in the end.
While the two of them were sleeping in the bed, Liang Youhui told her about the family: "...My elder brother is the most scheming, like my father, and he always follows rules in everything he does..."
"The elder brother is like a father. The marquis is always fighting abroad, so he naturally has to take more care of it."
Of course, Chen Muqing would not get involved in other people's family affairs. She dealt with Liang Youhui.
"The second brother is the most unhappy. He only knows how to eat, drink and have fun every day... My sister-in-law dares not care about him. My mother had to talk about him every day, but he heard it at that time and forgot it when he turned around. Not to mention mother, even grandmother, she was very disappointed with him..."
"Maybe because of your elder brother, he has a less sense of responsibility!"
"Yeah!" Liang Youhui nodded, "Grandmother said the same thing. So she likes the third brother the most. The third brother is not only filial, but also very smart..." As he said that, Liang Youhui turned over, supported her upper body with her elbow, and looked at Chen Muqing who was sleeping beside her with a smile. "He used bamboo to make dragonflies, and could fly in the air; he could jump by himself with grass; he also built a very small bathhouse in his house, and it was so comfortable to take a bath in winter..."
"Bathhouse?" Chen Muqing was slightly surprised.
In the past few years she has been through, she has always tried to improve people's livelihood issues. Later, she found that there is no sewer, so no matter how she transformed it, it would be useless. Unexpectedly, Liang Jimin actually built a small bathhouse in the house... Could it be that this person has also passed through...
Chen Muqing felt very frightened for a moment and hurriedly said, "Bathhouse, what kind of bathhouse is it?"
Liang Youhui smiled proudly: "Build a soil stove behind the clean room, and you can also heat the fire, and the wall connected to the clean room and the soil stove can be made into a fire wall. A hole is made on the fire wall, and then use a copper pipe to continue. When you want to take a bath, someone pours the water from the soil stove directly into the copper pipe, and then it can flow into the big tung lacquer bathtub in the clean room. Then, the clean room is made of bluestone bricks, and the running water trough is used as a copper pipe, and it flows directly into the living ditch in the garden. It is warm and clean. Isn't it very smart?"
Chen Muqing breathed a sigh of relief and secretly wiped the sweat from his temples with his sleeve: "I'm quite smart."
"He wanted to make one for my mother, but she said she was not used to using it. So she made one for my grandmother. My grandmother liked it very much." Liang Youhui Shanshan said authentically, "However, my grandmother used it a few times and said that the heat was too frightening and she would make her dizzy when she used it too much."
Chen Muqing nodded.
This kind of bathhouse relies on sealing and heat to increase the temperature in the house, and also reduce oxygen... The elderly will definitely feel uncomfortable.
"It's because of this that my third brother turned out to be gone, and my bathhouse was gone." Liang Youhui was very regretful.
Chen Muqing comforted her: "Let's build again if you have the chance in the future!"
Liang Youhui suddenly showed surprise and said, "Sister, why don't you let my third brother build one for you! That bathhouse is really good..."
Chen Muqing was quite moved, but then he thought of Li's illness.
At this time, don’t make some weird things worry her!
"According to your opinion, it's not possible to do it in a short time. The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and it's hard to find a master. I'll tell you later!" Chen Muqing pushed and dragged.
Liang Youhui nodded: "Yes, it took my third brother two or three months to build this bathhouse..."
...The two of them fell asleep in a daze as they spoke.
*******
The next day, Liang Youhui knew that Aunt Du had left, and kept sighing in Shen Muqing's ear: "...I don't know where I moved, so why won't I see you again..."
"When people get along with each other, it depends on fate..." When Chen Muqing was having a headache, Wanbaozhai's gift came.
Chen Muqing breathed a sigh of relief.
Liang Youhui was also distracted.
Distracted, covering her hair, tying her hair, and scooping her... Everything was made very fine and the style was OK. Chen Muqing held it in her hand, but the weight was very light. She looked carefully without moving.
One who is full of sweet and distracted, and the other who is distracted by Guanyin, use more threads and less threads.
Chen Muqing gave Yingfen a wink.
Ying Fan took it in without moving his eyebrows and eyes, and Chen Muqing smiled and thanked Liang Youhui.
At noon, while Liang Youhui was having lunch break, Yingfen whispered: "There are only nine taels, four cents in total, and the quality is only seven cents."
Chen Muqing frowned almost invisibly.
Wanbaozhai is a time-honored brand in Kyoto for being a business of a wealthy family. In her understanding, it is a shop that specializes in luxury goods. How could there be silver jewelry with bad quality?
Because it was a gift sent in, Yingfen suspected that it was Liang Youhui's mother who was slutty and whispered: "Can the person below make a mistake?"
"Don't make a statement, just accept it." How can you check such a thing? Chen Muqing had no choice but to say, "The rewards from all prefectures are routine, and they may be based on the routine. Just get the thoughts."
As the two of them were talking, a little maid came in and reported, "Sister Zisha from Liang's mansion is asking for a meeting."
Chen Muqingying exchanged glances, tidied up her clothes, sat upright, and asked the little maid to welcome the purple gauze in.
Zisha was holding a small box with red paint and gold in her hand. When she saw Chen Muqing, she immediately knelt in front of her with a red face: "Save me, girl!"
When Chen Muqing heard this, he came from strange things. While signaling Yingfen to help her up, he smiled and said, "What's wrong with you?"
Zisha knelt there with tears in her eyes and refused to get up: "I have done something wrong. After thinking about it, I can only come and ask the girl..."
Chen Muqing pondered: "Sister's words are stupid... I don't know if Sister Liang will give me this thin face."
"Miss I don't know anything." Zi Xia looked ashamed. "It turns out that one of the eldest young masters who served her maids when she was at her parents' home. The eldest young master also ordered Wan Baozhai to give gifts with two silver-haired faces... I followed the girl to visit the mansion, and I didn't know that there was any other matter. When Wan Baozhai came to deliver things this morning, he didn't care. He hurriedly drew the proof and sent it in... Who knew that he had confused the things from the two families..." As he said that, Zi Xia raised the red paint gold-painted box in his hand, "Girl, please conceal it on your behalf in front of our girl, and exchange it for the things... I am very grateful!"
The one who opened the Jinlou was not a sweat towel shop. If you delivered the wrong goods, what would that be the consequence? Losing money is a trivial matter. If you lose your credibility, you will be seeking death. What's more, the shipping procedures are not less than ten, and the shipping guys are all sharp-eyed and skilled. How could they be wrong?
Chen Muqing secretly felt something was strange in his heart.
If it were the past, she would have hidden this. But since she learned that even Aunt Du, who she thought was honest, Chen Muqing became more alert than ever before.
But Zisha was brought by Liang Youhui after all, so she was not able to refute her affection when she wanted to come in front of her.
She winked at Yingfen.
Yingfen understood and took the box and opened it. Seeing that the things inside were exactly the same as the one given to Zhuji, he was slightly stunned and smiled and said to Zisha: "Sister, since it is the same thing, why bother to change it?"
Zisha's face flushed and she whispered: "Sister Zhuji's box was ordered by the Grandma himself. The other pair was ordered by the eldest grandma...the weight was a bit different."
Chen Muqing saw Yingfen gently weighing the things in her hand, then lit her jaw at her.
She calmed down and smiled, "Yingfen, since that's the case, you can go and help Zisha change things!"
Zisha looked grateful and kept kowtowing to Chen Muqing to thank him, and then followed Yingfen with gratitude and went to change the jewelry.
Chen Muqing sat on the big kang next to the window and was stunned.
As Yingfen said, since there are exactly the same thing, even if there are differences in weight, how could the recipient of the gift know? Why did Zisha have to change things? Moreover, even if it is to change things, she doesn't have to ask for herself. Who can guarantee that she will never make mistakes in front of her master? As long as it is not related to life and death, the sisters who work together usually help you, and if they can cover it up, they will never let the master know. Who dares to say that you help others this time, and it will not be someone else to help you next time! Zisha has also served the wife of the Liang family. Now that she can be pulled into Liang Youhui's house, she should be a smart person. How could she give up this shortcut to come and ask for herself?
Chen Muqing thought about it all the time, but couldn't understand it.
But there is one thing that is certain.
The Liang family’s attitude towards the Shen family is worth pondering.
Otherwise, if she married a close maid, she would start to "instruct her personally". Also, was the jewelry she gave Zhuji according to the old rules, or was the jewelry she ordered by Wang Wenhui according to the old rules... How could Wanbaozhai accept such a business...
But what are the intentions of the Liang family?
Power? You have to worry about Chen Zhen; money? The Shen family is not a mogul? Status? The Liang family is much taller than the Shen family... Chen Muqing really couldn't think of what the Liang family wants to ask the Shen family.
After a while, Ying Fen came back.
Chen Muqing calmed down his mind and raised his eyebrows at her.
Yingfen walked to Chen Muqing and whispered: "I looked at it carefully and the things were all the same. The ones that were replaced were not only heavy, but also better in color. The two boxes were the same. I also checked them out specifically. There was nothing inside. For safety, I only changed the jewelry, but not the box."
Chen Muqing's confusion became increasingly deeper and his eyebrows were locked tightly.
*******
Because there was a knot in my heart, Chen Muqing began to observe Liang Youhui carefully.
After a few days, she was disappointed.
Liang Youhui was still so innocent and had no defense towards her. Chen Muqing asked her what she thought, and she thought it was Chen Muqing's concern for her and answered her enthusiastically.
This made Chen Muqing often reflect on whether he was too sensitive.
After three or four days like this, the Liang family came to pay Liang Youhui.
Chen Muqing had not yet sorted out his mood, and he helped Liang Youhui pack up his things in a daze.
Liang Youhui regarded Chen Muqing's absent-mindedness as her nostalgia, held Chen Muqing's hand, and said sincerely: "Don't worry, no matter what, I will come to have a wedding banquet on the day Zhuji got married."
Chen Muqing knew that Liang Youhui had misunderstood, and secretly felt a little uneasy when he looked at her serious expression.
No matter what, Liang Youhui was sincere to him.
You can't not go out because it will rain one day; you can't not seek survival because it will die one day... Let's talk about the future later!
She secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, showed a cheerful smile to Liang Youhui, and sent her to Li's place.
