Chapter 65
Seeing that although they had no famous posts and were riding in ordinary black painted flat-headed carriages, the servant was dressed gorgeously and had a unique sense of superiority in his expression. He did not dare to neglect, and said with a smile, "Please wait a moment", and hurried in to spread it.
Soon, Pang Debao, wearing a lilac wool velvet, led a young man in his twenties and wearing a parrot green silk pleated dress.
When he saw Yingfen, he did not show a look of surprise, but bowed respectfully to the carriage: "I don't know if it's Miss Chen coming, there are some misfortune and some misfortune!" As he said that, he turned around and scolded the servant beside him: "Open the door quickly."
Chen Muqing couldn't help but smile bitterly.
It seems that everyone in the Xiao family knows this!
Xiao Sa, who was so proud, didn't know how he faced the curious, suspicious eyes and whispering discussions among the people...
The young man who came with Pang Debao hurriedly went to the threshold and the carriage drove in.
After stopping at the wall, the woman who was in the car took a footstool, Yingfen stepped forward and helped Chen Muqing out of the car.
"Are you young master at home?" Chen Muqing asked with Pang Debao entering the second door.
Pang Debao smiled and said, "Young Master was studying until dawn yesterday. I just went to bed. I asked Baoliang to invite him."
Did you read until dawn or did you have to be crazy with Tu Xiaoque until dawn... Chen Muqing smiled slightly and headed towards the main room.
Pang Debao hurriedly said, "Miss, let's go to the east wing to serve tea! That's the young master's study, very elegant."
Chen Muqing didn't even look at him and walked straight forward.
It had just snowed yesterday, and there were still a few balls of snow left on the branches of the locust tree in the yard that were as tall as the eaves. A gust of wind blew over and fell down like a flower.
Chen Muqing raised his head and raised his chest, and walked through the yard with a determined aura.
Pang Debao wiped the sweat from his forehead and followed him while gestured to the little maid standing beside the scarlet soft curtain in the main room.
Chen Muqing saw it in his eyes, and his voice was still moving, speeding up his pace, and he reached the level in just a few strokes.
The little maid hurriedly slammed the curtain.
Yingfen had already pulled open the little maid and lifted the curtain high.
Chen Muqing entered the house.
The main rooms of the five rooms are divided into one and two dark with green gauze cabinets. There is a picture of Zhongkui and Wugui. A long black lacquer table is decorated with bonsai of Yunyingshi and a vase of Ru kiln. A square table with black lacquer is placed with a Taishi chair on the left and right tables, and a seat and seat cushion for holding birthday flowers that are used as a semi-new and old royal blue five-bat holding birthday ball flowers. The layout is simple and elegant.
Chen Muqing looked at Pang Debao with a smile as if he was smiling.
Pang Debao smiled bitterly and said, "Miss Chen, please sit down for a while? I'll go and see if the young master is awake." After that, he didn't bother to greet Chen Muqing, lifted the soft curtain of Dongjiji and crawled in.
Someone brought her a red painted tea tray.
The tips of ten fingers are as sharp as green onions.
Chen Muqing's heart thumped and he looked up and saw a white and pure face.
At the age of fifteen or sixteen, with curved willow-leaf eyebrows, clear and quiet eyes, wearing a moon-white chrysanthemum buttoned double-breasted silk jacket, a lake-colored thread-lifted skirt, a slender figure, and a weak willow-stretched posture.
She gently placed the teacup in front of Chen Muqing: "Girl, please have tea."
Is it Ganoderma lucidum or Yunzhi? Or, neither...
Chen Muqing took the teacup with a smile, took a sip, but accidentally swept the lake-colored thread-picking skirt around the corner of his eyes.
Half of the pointed and pointed lake green cloud-toe shoes are exposed.
"Three-inch golden lotus is just half a fork..."
The sentence full of charming charm suddenly passed by Chen Muqing's mind, and she suddenly became stunned.
The woman had already collected the tea tray and walked to the side with a slanted figure.
The room was quiet, and occasionally there were vague whispers coming from the east.
The people in the main hall held their breath even more silently.
"What's wrong with saying!" A cold voice suddenly rang out, "Just tell her I'm missing!"
Except for Chen Muqing, everyone in the room changed their faces.
The woman who served tea to Chen Muqing could not hide the surprise on her face, and raised her head to look at Chen Muqing's expression.
I saw a smile on the corner of Chen Muqing's mouth, and he stood up slowly with his knees and the square table with one hand.
The voice was clear and the tone was calm, not the ambiguity she had imagined after experiencing the vagueness after her death...
I just don't want to see her again.
It turned out that I was too self-righteous... Everyone had their own lives, and the least needed was her disturbance.
She thought of the arrogant boy in red, who had opened his heart to her, and she couldn't help but say those words like a thorn in her throat.
"Xiao Sa!" Her voice echoed in the room without any hesitation, with unusual peace, "Life is yours. Even if I make mistakes, I can be worthy of enjoying the Taimiao or writing it into history. It is yours. It is yours. It is yours..."

Who said that the weather in June is like the temper of a child? Today's weather is like the temper of a child. The sun that had just poked its head, but now I don't know where to hide. The dark clouds in the sky rolled like ink, and the whole world became dark.
It's going to snow!
Chen Muqing stood on the steps of the main room of Chaoxitang, staring at the sky for a while.
That's it!
Life is just like the first meeting, why does the autumn wind make a sad fan?
Some things, if you lose them, will be lost forever...
She has more important things to do.
Li's illness, Liang's marriage... What she was most worried about was the sharp blade hanging over everyone's heads by King Zhen'an.
If Chen Zhen’s plan fails, his life will not be too long!
Chen Muqing breathed a sigh of relief and entered the house gently.
Mrs. Li was holding a thick account book in her hand and was watching attentively.
Hearing the movement, she just looked up and glanced at her quickly, then looked through a page of the account book with a calm expression, and said in a casual tone: "Is there anything else that I can't do?"
Chen Muqing was stunned and didn't say anything for a while.
Mrs. Li took the account book in her hand and looked at her with a smile.
Looking at Li's haggard face, Chen Muqing laughed: "Madam, what else do you have to know?"
Li laughed loudly.
Chen Muqing sat next to Li, hugged Li's arm and leaned on her shoulder: "One day, will I become as wise as you!"
Li patted his daughter's head gently: "Silly children, it is a price to get such wisdom - mothers don't want their children to have such wisdom."
"But without such wisdom, you will be worried!" Chen Muqing smiled, "Madam, did I give you a headache when I was a child?"
"Yeah." Li laughed loudly, "I'm very stubborn, there are always many strange ideas..." Li recalled the past with a sweet smile on his face.
Outside, snow was falling sparsely.

The Imperial Heaven Supervision said that the matching of the eight characters and five elements of Chen Muqing and Liang Jimin is a combination of heaven.
The next day, the eldest grandmother of the Deqing Marquis' Mansion, and Liang Jimin's aunt Wang, brought the Geng sticker with Shen Muqing's horoscope written in full red gold to the Liang family. The Liang family invited the imperial examination to read the days. On November 16th, according to the customs of Jiangnan, he brought a ingot of snowflakes and a piece of red gold Ruyi to the Shen family, and carried twenty-four eight-color fruits and tea leaves.
The Liang family received the gift from tea and invited Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Feng Wang to have a drink.
The banquet was placed in the east wing room, with four hot meat, four cold meat, four pairs of meat, four big bowls, four medium bowls, and four small bowls, and then four barbecue, four cold vegetarian, eight salty bites, and eight desserts.
Mrs. Liu pointed at the cream lamp with ebony chopsticks and smiled: "Mrs. Chen is going to entertain us with an imperial banquet."
Li personally poured Jin Jinglu for Liu Jin's wife: "Thank you for your hard work, I can only make some food and drink to express my gratitude!"
When he was pouring wine for Feng Wang, Feng Wang insisted on not accepting it, but instead snatched the wine pot from Li's hand and poured a glass for Li: "I know that my wife can't drink the medicine. I pour this glass to express my respect - speaking of it, if we were a family!"
Li was stunned. Mrs. Liu had already slapped her forehead and said, "Yes, yes, this wine should be toasted, toasted!"
Li laughed: "Since that's the case, I'll endure this cup." As he said that, he picked up the teacup and took a sip.
Feng Wang was slightly stunned and said quite moved: "Madam, I love me so much!"
Li smiled and held Feng Wang's hand: "The whole family doesn't speak two families."
Feng Wang nodded repeatedly, stood up and picked up a piece of crab begonia fruit for Li, and said, "Madam sees me seriously, so I won't say those polite words. I think, while you are in good spirits, you might as well settle your life sooner!"
Li was stunned.
Mrs. Liu also nodded: "That's right, that's right. Now that the Chinese New Year is coming, there are many things in the court. The emperor also said that the cabinet would send the Grand Secretary to the northwest to reward the army... At that time, Lord Shen would be too busy to sing the ground. It would be better to make a reservation early."
Li hesitated and said, "Mu Qing is still young... and Ji Min is going to participate in the examination, so I was going to wait for a few more years."
Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Feng exchanged glances quickly.
Feng Wang didn't say anything, picked up a fresh shrimp chop dumpling and took a light bite.
Liu Jin's wife smiled and said, "It's because Ji Min is going to take the exam, so she should have decided earlier. As the saying goes, start a family and start a family. If you don't get married, how can you start a career?"
There was still a few hesitations in Li's expression.
Mrs. Liu smiled and said, "I am the matchmaker of the woman, so I naturally know the mood of being a mother. To say that the eldest young lady doesn't like to hear, Mu Qing is indeed younger."
Feng Wang smiled and said, "Who said no? It's just that the grandma told me that I must ask Mrs. Chen for her."
Li smiled and said, "Since it was said by the Grandma, let me consider it."
Feng Wang wanted to say something, but Mrs. Liu had already put a piece of colorful frozen cake on Feng Wang's plate: "Try it, it was learned from the imperial kitchen. It is said that every time I made this in the imperial kitchen, the Empress Dowager would add an extra bowl of porridge."
The topic was spread apart and it was not mentioned again.
