After Feng Wang left, Mrs. Liu pulled Li to the west and talked.

She changed her laughter just now and said seriously: "I just said something to my eldest grandmother of the Feng family here just now."

"Oh!" Li raised his eyebrows and leaned over to Liu Jin's wife and said, "But is there anything wrong?"

Mrs. Liu looked at the people serving on both sides.

When Li heard the sound, he knew the elegance and immediately sent the person away.

Seeing that there was no one in the house, Mrs. Liu whispered to Li: "The emperor will move the Ministry of Personnel after the New Year. I thought it was inappropriate for the marriage between the Lu family last time, but because it was from the palace, I came with a stingy bullet... When you asked me to come forward to discuss the marriage with the Liang family, I was greatly relieved... I think this matter should be done earlier, so as not to have too many dreams."

Li hesitated: "But Mu Qing is really younger, and having children is a gate of hell."

Mrs. Liu covered her sleeves and smiled: "You care will be in trouble. If you become a relative, you may not have to fulfill your family!"

"But will the Liang family agree?" Li said in a daze.

"If I come forward, they dare not agree." Mrs. Liu patted her chest, "You can listen to my good news."

*******

Mrs. Liu is indeed decisive in doing things.

The next afternoon, the lady of the Liang family came in person.

Mrs. Li was surprised and helped the lady sit down in the east wing.

The maids served tea, and Shen Muqing came out to pay homage to the grandma, and Li and the grandma closed the door and talked for an afternoon. When Shen Zhen came back, Li told him that the Liang family had set the date on December 20th.

Shen Zhen was not very surprised, but hesitated a little in his expression: "What do you say about Mu Qing?"

Li burst into tears: "We are all half-drunks, but Mu Qing's life is still long. She married into the Liang family and was from the Liang family. Don't push your daughter into the kang!"

"Don't worry!" Shen Zhen smiled, "At that time, the Liang family will only be more prominent than it is now!"

"I'm not asking their family to be prominent!" Li covered his face and cried, "I'm trying to find a good-looking man for Mu Qing."

"It is because of this that I agreed to let Mu Qing marry him early. Otherwise, how could I be a relative of Wang Shengyun?" Shen Zhen appeased Li, "Besides, the Liang family is known as the 'tumbler'. Liang Yuan is not only scheming, but also has the tenacity of sleeping on firewood and tasting gall. It is more secure than to marry into his family."

It's totally about playing the piano against a cow!

Li wiped his tears and sat upright and said, "I want to give Mu Qing the three-in-one yard in Sijiao Hutong, Baizhifang, to be a dowry!"

Shen Zhen was shocked: "This, this..."

"You planted the cause, now let Mu Qing eat this fruit, you are so embarrassed to say." Li's face was already stern, "I only have this drop of bone and blood left..."

Shen Zhen nodded embarrassedly and turned to Aunt Chen's place.

He really didn't want to see Li's questioning eyes.

Aunt Chen was very surprised when she saw Shen Zhen. She hurriedly got up to serve him in changing clothes, and then cooked for a midnight snack.

Shen Zhen looked at the white and white winter vegetables that Aunt Chen had pickled in the small gold plate on the table, and couldn't help but stand still.

Aunt Chen whispered: "Master, why don't you cook fresh yellow sprouts for you?"

"No need." Shen Zhen simply put down his chopsticks and pointed to the opposite side, "You can sit down too!"

Aunt Chen sat halfway on the kang: "The master is worried today."

Chen Zhen was silent for a moment and said, "Mu Qing's day has been settled, December 20th."

"It's so urgent!" Aunt Chen was shocked, "I don't know if the things come or not."

Chen Zhen didn't say anything.

Aunt Chen didn't dare to ask too much, and sat aside with a smile: "I'll go to congratulate my wife tomorrow morning to see if there is anything I can help with. Speaking of which, my wife has been having a lot of things during this period..."

"Madam wants to give Mu Qing the yard on the Baizhifang!" Chen Zhen suddenly interrupted Aunt Chen, "I have agreed!" His tone was very rapid, as if he was afraid that he would regret it.

"You are just this daughter, and it is common for you to accompany some real estate and land." Aunt Chen smiled like a flower, "Although the housing prices there have been so much in recent years, they didn't spend much money back then. I'm a person who has experienced it. My parents' dowry is rich, and when I get to my husband's house, I don't expect the money from the public, and people are more expensive. What's the wife's fond of you, just let her take it away. She is also for the good of the girl, and who does not care about her biological daughter? What's more, the Liang family has a eldest grandmother from the Wang family, and I'm afraid that everything will be compared by then..."

With a "bang", Chen Zhen suddenly slapped the chopsticks on the kang table.

*******

Orange Xiang whispered in Li's ear: "Go to Aunt Chen's place!"

Li smiled coldly and called Wang's mother overnight to discuss the things Chen Muqing's dowry.

"Go and inquire about what the eldest grandmother of the Liang family accompanied when she entered the door. We prepared according to the big example. The shop in Jiangnan gave her two rooms, and the three-civilian courtyard in Baizhifang gave her. She brought Zhou Bing's family, Lin Jincai's family, and Anyuan often served in front of her, oh, and Mother Li..."

Mother Wang was shocked and said, "Zhou Bing's family, this, this..."

Li ignored her surprise and said straight: "I have two stores in Baizhifang, which I originally planned to give to Mu Qing. In two days, I will help you take it off and borrow it. You and Wang Gui will move there to retire!" The voice was already Qi Chu.

Mother Wang's eyes turned red and she knelt in front of the kang: "Madam, I won't leave, I will serve you..." As she said that, tears were already falling.

"Get up!" Li bent down and pulled Wang's mother, "What do you do when we say this? We have been together for life. You know my affairs best in your heart, and I understand your thoughts best. If you walk ahead of me, I will arrange someone to throw a basin and mourning for you. If I walk ahead of you, I will help you arrange your future path. If you are really kind, you will help me take care of Mu Qing in the future. After all, she is young and has a temper..."

The two whispered for the middle of the night, and Mother Wang cried for the middle of the night. The next morning, Mother Wang got up late for the first time.

Chen Zhen knew this arrangement and didn't say anything for a long time.

Aunt Chen knew about it and advised Chen Zhen: "There are only two shops in the eighteen shops. Is the master even reluctant to give up the money? As for Manager Zhou, he has been in Jiangnan for so many years, and he has made a lot of money. He said he has made a lot of money, and he said he lost it. The wife probably wanted to take this opportunity to transfer him. Otherwise, how could the boy from the Lin family take care of the girl's two shops in Jiangnan and ask Zhou Bing to do the manager of the inner house for the girl. Speaking of which, it is also because Zhou Bing has been working outside for several years and has extraordinary insights. When the girl arrived at the Liang family, there was someone who could ask for help."

Chen Zhen looked at Aunt Chen's charming face and smiled bitterly helplessly.

Aunt Chen advised Chen Zhen and went to Li's place again: "I don't have the head of the family, and I don't know how many possessions there are at home. But the girl's dowry is too shabby. There are twenty-four weddings, and the girl only has twelve more units after getting married. Although it was bought according to the dowry of the big grandmother there, it must be more practical than her. I still have more than one thousand taels of private money in my hand, otherwise, my wife will come forward to buy a few acres of land for the girl. That's the matter of generations of descendants."

Li smiled and said, "It's hard for you to have this intention. I can't just care about Mu Qing and Dashe. Last time your mother's brother came and said he wanted to find something in Beijing. If he didn't dislike him, help Dashe manage the sixteen shops in Jiangnan?"

Aunt Chen's face turned red and she hurriedly knelt in front of Li: "Madam, if I had that heart, I would have let my heaven beat the sky. The master also came step by step, with a grade like my father, with a meager salary. Four younger brothers, studying and going to school, getting married and having children, if there was no way, my father wouldn't have sent him to come to Beijing. He was only counting on him to support himself. He could also have fewer chopsticks at home..."

Li just laughed.

But before Aunt Chen came out of Li's house, Chen Muqing had already received news.

"...Madam said, this matter will be discussed by the master." Mother Li smiled flatteringly at Chen Muqing, "After all, it is to do an errand for her mother's brothers. I think Aunt Chen is just pretending to be in front of her. If she gets to the master, she will be talking again."

Chen Muqing couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

After being able to compete with Wang’s family alone for so many years, Li’s mother does have her own capital.

"If I remember well, my mother would be fifteen years younger than Mother Wang!" Chen Mu said lightly.

Mother Li smiled and said, "Miss still remembers that I am fifteen years and three months younger than Mother Wang."

Chen Muqing picked up the Pu'er tea in front of him and took a sip, saying, "If nothing goes wrong, in another fifteen years, my mother will be able to raise her like Mother Wang!"

When Li's mother heard this, she looked surprised and said something unscrupulously: "Aunt, girl..."

Chen Muqing slowly put down the teacup in his hand and smiled: "Look at whether there are any of the newly entered girls who are satisfied with each other? I will raise one under my name and find someone with a good temper to marry into my marriage. A hundred years later, there will be descendants who will sweep the graves and burn incense for you..."

Mother Li was so excited that she couldn't speak. She knelt in front of Shen Muqing and kept kowtowing to her.

Later, Chen Muqing made the decision and set up a banquet, invited Li's mother's husband's family and her mother's brothers and uncles, made a contract, and took Yuegui into Li's name.

*******

Two days later, Chen Duan came to thank Li for his gratitude: "Thanks to my wife's kindness, I got this job. Don't worry, we will do our best to take care of the shop."

Mrs. Li said a few words like "You must do things with your heart" and sent Mrs. Chen Duan: "It's a blessing for your aunt, go and kowtow to her!"

Chen Duan left happily.

Chen Muqing sighed secretly in his heart.
