Chapter 77

The little girl wearing sapphire came over to relieve Jiang Shuangrui's cloak: "Sister is now two-body, and the master will not blame you if you don't come!" As she said that, she looked at Jiang Shuangrui's slightly raised belly with envy.

Jiang Shuangrui smiled and said nothing, allowing the little girl to untie her cloak, then stepped forward and bowed to the man, pointed at Chen Muqing and said, "Master Yuan, this is my brother and sister."

When the little girl wearing sapphire heard this, she immediately opened her eyes wide and looked at Chen Muqing.

Master Yuan also looked surprised when he heard this: "Shen Shiming's daughter? The one who followed Minbishan to learn how to draw peonies?"

Jiang Shuangrui smiled and pointed, then introduced the old man to Chen Muqing: "This is my former husband, his surname is Yuan."

When Chen Muqing heard Master Yuan’s tone, he seemed to know Chen Zhen and Mr. Min. She hurriedly bowed and saluted the old man, and respectfully shouted "Master Yuan".

Jiang Shuangrui pointed to the little girl wearing sapphire again and said, "This is the little twin beside Master Yuan..." As he said that, he turned around and looked at the little girl wearing ruby ​​who was directing the little maids to hold the brocade and said, "This is the big twin."

Dashuang may have a cheerful personality. When he heard Jiang Shuangrui say about her, he smiled at Chen Muqing.

The maid next to Master Yuan... The maid is not like a maid, the concubine is not like a concubine... or a family room, but the age difference is too big...

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but look at the two little girls carefully.

But the two little girls bent their knees and saluted her with a smile.

She smiled and nodded at the two little girls like Jiang Shuangrui.

Master Yuan entered the East Site without saying a word and waved to Chen Muqing: "Come on, come on, come on, I have prepared my pen and ink... Let me see what you have learned from Minbishan."

In his words, he looked down on Min Bishan.

Chen Muqing frowned, and Jiang Shuangrui explained from the side: "My master has this temper, don't be surprised. He has long heard that Mr. Min's poetry, painting, chess and chess are outstanding, and he has the reputation of "Four Young Masters". He has never been able to meet him. Now when he sees you, he must have wanted you to paint him."

Or is it someone who is not convinced by Mr. Min's reputation?

Chen Muqing thought, and smiled and said, "I just learned some basic knowledge from Mr. Min, how dare I show off in front of Master Yuan."

Master Yuan laughed: "Kyoto underground money house offered a gamble of one or eight in odds to bet Min Luanshan into the third grade, so don't be humble there."

Chen Muqing was stunned and said sternly: "The beautiful trees in the forest will be destroyed by the wind! Who is harming Mr. Min?"

"Interesting, interesting," Master Yuan heard this, walked out of the east room, squinted his little eyes and looked up and down at Chen Muqing, "This little girl is interesting... Shuangrui, your brother and sister are much more interesting than your sister-in-law!"

Chen Muqing was shocked when he heard this.

Who is this Master Yuan? He actually knows Wang Wenhui?

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but look at Jiang Shuangrui.

Jiang Shuangrui just smiled at her and pulled her to the east: "You can just take out all your skills and draw a painting for Master Yuan, otherwise, Mr. Min will be embarrassed by that time."

Chen Muqing looked at Jiang Shuangrui with a smile on his face, straightened his back and walked in.

*******

That day, Chen Muqing and Jiang Shuangrui stayed until dusk before saying goodbye to Master Yuan’s house.

Sitting in the sedan chair, Chen Muqing kept thinking about Jiang Shuangrui's original intention of taking him to Master Yuan, but he could not guess no matter how he thought about it.

In addition to saying a few words to her at the beginning, Master Yuan kept watching Chen Muqing's paintings carefully from the side, and from time to time discussed with Jiang Shuangrui.

If she is usually a little nervous, Chen Muqing will be a little nervous, but after hearing what Jiang Shuangrui said, she has a bit of anger. Instead, she holds the pen more steadily than usual, and writes naturally and smoothly than usual.

She drew a picture of the peony chicks she was best at.

But Master Yuan did not comment on her paintings, but was very interested in Chen Muqing: "...be calm and restrained, he does have the style of a great man."

Jiang Shuangrui just smiled faintly.

Chen Muqing couldn't see any negative emotions in that smile.

When they returned to the Liang family, the two went to Xianhe Hall.

Liang Youhui and her three children were not around. The lady was talking to a distant aunt. The two of them asked An, exchanged a few greetings, then retreated, and then went to Gui'aitang.

On the way, Chen Muqing looked very worried: "Second sister-in-law, what should we say if my mother asks?"

"To be honest, that's it!" Jiang Shuangrui's expression was very open.

Anyway, I have already discussed you, and if there is anything, there will be someone to bear it.

Thinking of this, Chen Muqing had an idea.

After entering the house, Wang Wenhui was serving Feng to remove his makeup.

When they saw them coming in, both of them looked surprised.

"Where is Shuxin and Ji Min? Why haven't they come back together?" Feng asked.

After the two of them asked Feng for peace, Jiang Shuangrui took the initiative to tell what happened today.

After hearing this, Feng said something a little bit of angering Chen Muqing: "Why don't you follow Ji Min to the eldest princess's mansion... The eldest princess is very kind and willing to help others. You should still walk with her more."

Chen Muqing responded respectfully and said gentlely: "It's all my wife who doesn't think about it."

Wang Wenhui lowered her head and tidyed up her clothes, but Jiang Shuangrui smiled and said, "Mom, my brother and sister are inevitably a little timid when they go to my grandfather's house for the first time. She follows me in such a manner, which is also the reason why she is calm..."

Feng nodded, his expression slightly cleared.

Chen Muqing gave Jiang Shuangrui a grateful look.

Jiang Shuangrui lowered his eyelids, and did not look around with her as Chen Muqing imagined.

Feng asked Jiang Shuangrui: "Didn't you usually go to Master Yuan's place on the 8th day of the lunar month? Why did you suddenly change today?"

Jiang Shuangrui smiled and said, "I am not as good as in previous years. After the third year of junior high school, I am not going to go out again."

Feng was very satisfied with Jiang Shuangrui's answer and nodded with a smile.

After the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law talked for a while, Feng asked the daughter-in-law to go back: "...Tomorrow's third day of the junior high school, you all have to go back to your parents' home. You have to get up early and go to rest!"

The three sisters-in-law bowed and saluted, and they walked out of their mother-in-law's house one after another.

Wang Wenhui immediately said: "I served my mother's supper, and the three children were left in the house for the wet nurses to watch - I'll take a step first."

Jiang Shuangrui didn't say anything.

Chen Muqing was secretly surprised.

Unexpectedly, the relationship between Jiang Shuangrui and Wang Wenhui was so stale.

She hurriedly looked at Wang Wenhuifu and smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, go quickly, the children are important."

Wang Wenhui smiled at Chen Muqing, and then led the maid and wife in her room away.

Chen Muqing smiled and said to Jiang Shuangrui: "Second Sister-in-law, I'll take you back to the house - the second uncle is not at home!"

Under the illumination of the big red lanterns on the eaves, Jiang Shuangrui's bright face was as bright as a layer of rouge. She smiled slightly at Chen Muqing.

Chen Muqing stepped forward and carefully supported Jiang Shuangrui's hand and walked out of Gui Aitang.

There are three courtyards side by side behind Gui Ai Hall, to the west is Wang Wenhui's Changchun Courtyard, and next to Jiang Shuangrui's Xiangyun Courtyard. It passes through a corridor, and is Mu Qing's Diecui Courtyard.

Jiang Shuangrui stood on the Taiji in Xiangyunyuan and looked at Chen Muqing with a smile: "I'm here, you go back!"

Chen Muqing smiled and handed Jiang Shuangrui to Yanhong, saying, "Sister-in-law, come in quickly, there is wind here, be careful of the cold."

Jiang Shuangrui held Yanhong's shoulders and looked at her with a smile. Her bright gaze was as sharp as a blade, which made Chen Muqing shudder.

"Second sister-in-law, what's wrong with you? But what's wrong with you?" Chen Muqing frowned slightly and asked worriedly.

"You are very smart!" Jiang Shuangrui suddenly smiled, the fireworks as gorgeous as the night, "and it was also very calm."

"What?" Chen Muqing couldn't grasp Jiang Shuangrui's emotions, so he had to pretend to be deaf and dumb, "Is sister-in-law praising me?" As she said that, a shy expression appeared on her face in a very cooperative manner.

Jiang Shuangrui continued to look at her, but the sharpness in her eyes faded away: "I was like your age, but I was just thinking about playing all day long... Nowadays, the children are getting more and more powerful..." As she said that, she turned to look at Changchunyuan, and a hint of loneliness appeared on her face: "But what's the use of this? I'm afraid the smarter it is, the more painful it is!"

*******

Chen Muqing returned to Diecuiyuan with a lot of mysteries. Liang Youhui ran out screaming and hugged Chen Muqing in surprise: "I thought you would come back very late!"

Yingfen smiled and took a peach wood hairpin he bought at a roadside stall for Liang Youhui: "The third young lady is thinking about the second girl, so she bought it specially."

Liang Youhui was very happy and hurriedly inserted it into her head: "Is it good-looking?"

"Today, the second day of the Lunar New Year, I was closed, and there was nothing good." Since Chen Muqing learned that Liang Youhui was sick, he has treated her like a child. He did not forget to bring her gifts when he went out, "It's peach wood, so you can keep it as a souvenir."

Liang Youhui nodded with a smile and pushed Chen Muqing into the room: "Tell me quickly, have you gone, have you seen your grandfather? Is Wanqing's cousin at home?"

Chen Muqing was slightly stunned and smiled and said, "My sister-in-law and cousins ​​all went to their uncle's house to pay New Year's greetings - Wanqing, I didn't see it? Who is she?"

Liang Youhui looked very disappointed: "He is my uncle's daughter, and she used to come to our house to play!"

"But why haven't I seen her before?" Chen Muqing asked Liang Youhui with a smile.

"Have you never met cousin Wanqing?" Liang Youhui felt very strange, "How could this happen?"

Chen Muqing said unintentionally: "Maybe she went to pay New Year's greetings with her aunt?"

"No!" Liang Youhui said firmly, "Wanqing's cousin was born in the outer room of his uncle, so his aunt never took her there when she visited relatives."

Chen Muqing said with certainty: "But I did not see her."

Liang Youhui frowned: "Wanqing's cousin would accompany several old ladies to recite scriptures every morning. After lunch, she would go to her aunt's house to do needlework or help her make the accounts... I didn't see her. Could she be sick? Or did the eldest princess pity her for having nowhere to pick her up at the Prince's Mansion and go to be her company?"

Chen Muqing was stunned and his eyes turned to Xiangyunyuan to the west.
