Chapter 84

Li's house was placed with cages of large and small sizes.

"What are you looking for?" Chen Muqing walked around the camphor wood boxes and sat next to Li.

Li sighed: "I don't know when she will see you again when she goes back. I'll give her the box of things to her in advance, which is a love affair."

Chen Muqing felt uncomfortable when he heard this, and knew that Li was arranging his funeral afterwards. But no matter what, Chen Yuerong was his niece. He asked her to take her back to Taicang in big bags, which made her block the mouths of her third aunts and six uncles.

"I'll give her something too!" Chen Muqing thought for a while, "After all, it's a sister!"

"It's right that you can think of this!" Li agreed very much, "We will feel relieved when we do what we should do..."

As the two were talking, a little maid came to report, "Madam, the fourth girl is here!"

Chen Muqing was slightly stunned.

When Li saw her, she smiled at her, "I asked her to come. She set aside for 16 and then set off. It was only two days before I could finish, so I still have something to tell her."

Chen Muqing nodded slightly, and Chen Yuerong had already walked in with Huang's mother.

Compared to last time she met, her complexion was much better. Her big eyes, which were always slightly sad, were now bright and cheerful, and her slightly pale face became rosy and smooth. Her black hair was tied into a fallen horse bun, and a coral-clad red gold butterfly hairpin was inserted. She wore a big red silk flower behind her bun. She also had a pair of red gold filigree-clad octagonal lantern earrings with red gold inlaid rubies on her ears. She had a gilded button on her white silk jacket, and a rose-red golden skirt underneath. She looked like a willow branch in spring. She looked vibrant and energetic after not seeing her for a few days.

Seeing Chen Muqing, Chen Yuerong showed a friendly smile: "I heard that my sister has returned to the door and has never come to my place to sit."

Chen Muqing stood up and bowed Chen Yuerong's knees and smiled and said, "Every time I come and go, my sister is used to it."

"Where, where!" Chen Yuerong smiled slightly, "Speaking of it, my sister brought me a heavy gift every time she came. I have never returned the gift, and I also asked my sister not to be accustomed to it."

Chen Muqing felt that Chen Yuerong, who was socializing in this way, was very different from before, as if the rushing river water turned into a trickle of the mountain stream, calm and calm.

Or because of a decision...

She thought that it would be difficult for the two to meet again in the future, and her attitude towards Chen Yuerong became more and more humble.

After the two sisters had a few social conversations, Chen Muqing found an excuse to retreat and left the space for Li and Shen Yuerong.

*******

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Li asked someone to hang various lanterns on the corners of the eaves. At night, the family gathered in the waterside pavilion to watch the moon, lit and eat dumplings.

The big house was wearing a small jacket inlaid with white fox fur and dragging a rabbit lamp with four wheels. Mother Tian led a group of maids and mothers to serve behind her. Chen Muqing and Chen Yuerong sat next to Li, chatting with Li. Aunt Chen stood behind Li as usual to serve.

Chen Yuerong was very excited and kept talking about some things from childhood. Li listened with a smile, and Aunt Chen said a few times from time to time, making the scene more lively.

Chen Muqing was absent-minded, and her eyes occasionally glanced at Liang Jimin, who was standing side by side under the eaves with Shen Zhen.

Chen Zhen stayed in the palace all day long. They only came back after eating the dumplings. As soon as they came back, they pulled Liang Jimin to speak... It must have something to do with Liang Yuan's defeat...

Thinking of this, she waved to Yingfen gently and told her in a slight voice like a mosquito: "Go, make two cups of tea, I will personally deliver it to the master and the third master."

Yingfen left and soon served two bowls of tea in a small tray with red paint and gold.

Everyone's eyes couldn't help but fall on Yingfen.

Chen Muqing stood up and took Yingfen's tray.

Li looked at Chen Muqing in confusion: "Are you?"

Chen Muqing smiled and said, "I saw that the master and my husband had been standing under the eaves for a long time, so I would give them a cup of tea."

After hearing this, Li smiled and nodded: "It should, it should."

Aunt Chen covered her mouth and smiled, "Auntie is so nice to my son-in-law!"

Li laughed.

Everyone laughed as if they were in the situation, but instead disturbed the two people under the roof.

They stopped talking and turned around one after another. Chen Zhen even smiled and said, "What are you saying funny things?"

Chen Muqing couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.

If Aunt Chen hadn't been troublesome, she could have taken the opportunity to deliver tea and listen to what both of them were saying!

Aunt Chen didn't know what Chen Muqing was thinking, and she and Shen Yuerong covered their mouths and smiled. Seeing that Chen Muqing's face turned slightly red, Li hurriedly helped her out: "It's nothing, nothing."

Chen Zhen smiled and walked over with Liang Jimin.

He sat next to Li and smiled and said, "The weather is good today and the moon is full..."

"Yes!" Li responded, and the two of them started gossiping.

Chen Muqing found an opportunity to ask Liang Jimin: "What's wrong with the Marquis?"

Liang Jimin was listening to Chen Zhen talking about some of his past affairs when he was a county magistrate, and heard this and said, "It should be nothing serious!"

This was vague, and Chen Muqing wanted to ask again. Liang Jimin had already gone to Chen Zhen's words: "...According to what you said, those minor officials can't offend them?"

"That's a natural. The official who is in a yamen is in a state of iron. This county magistrate is once every three years, but this minor official is a local and local snake..." Chen Zhen said in a leisurely manner, Liang Jimin listened very seriously and nodded constantly.

But Chen Yuerong was also very interested and came aside to listen.

For a moment, the water pavilion turned into a tea party.

Seeing this, Chen Muqing had to temporarily suppress the confusion in his heart.

But Li patted Chen Muqing's hand: "Don't worry too much. As the saying goes, it depends on others to plan things, and it depends on heaven to succeed."

Seeing that Liang Jimin didn't look at all worried, Chen Muqing had to choose to believe him.

*******

Early the next morning, the Liang family sent people to pick up Liang Jimin and Shen Muqing.

Li discussed with Dong's mother who came: "Today, Mu Qing's cousin returned to Taicang, I'll keep her for another night!" As he said that, Wang's mother stuffed her a big red envelope.

Dong's mother was tactful and immediately smiled: "The two sisters each got married, and I don't know when they will meet again, this is also what it should be."

After Dong's mother returned, Li and Shen Muqing went to Xiangpu Garden together.

On the way, Li told Chen Muqing: "I asked the master last night that the marquis' intelligence was temporarily suppressed. The master has recommended Chengyi Bo Zengju as the general of Gansu and assisted in the marquis's military in the northwest."

Chen Muqing was stunned.

She didn't expect Chen Zhen to do this for the Liang family.

He actually dared to suppress all the emergency military affairs.

"Would you be too risky when you are like this?" Chen Muqing frowned slightly, "Can the emperor agree? That Zhenyi Bo is also a child of a meritorious family. He is noble and arrogant. How could he be willing to make a wedding dress for Liang Yuan?" He was very worried.

"Don't worry, this matter is very important, and the master will not act rashly." Li smiled faintly, "So what if Zeng Ju is a meritorious child? So what if he is noble and arrogant? He is unwilling to make wedding dresses for the Liang family, so naturally someone is willing!"

Chen Muqing thought for a moment and said tentatively: "Qin Wei, Duke Fuyang?"

Li nodded.

At this time, Chen Muqing felt a little relieved.

"Do you want to send someone to talk to my mother-in-law? My mother-in-law probably hasn't felt good during this period!"

"I've married someone and I've become more sensible!" Li joked, "Don't worry, the master has sent someone to the Liang family to report the news before telling Ji Min."

Chen Muqing was slightly stunned: "When did my husband know about this?"

"When I was watching the moon yesterday."

No wonder he wasn't worried at all.

Chen Muqing couldn't help but frown.

"You..." Li smiled and pointed his nose at Mu Qing, "Men are very careless, don't think so much. We have to pursue small matters as big as sesame and mung beans. This is not the act of a virtuous wife."

Chen Muqing's heart was secretly bitter.

How great would it be if it was really just an unreasonable act between me and Liang Jimin!

*******

When we arrived at Xiangpu Garden, Chen Yuerong's things had already been packed up, and Huang's mother was directing people to move boxes and cages.

Seeing Li and Shen Muqing coming, Chen Yuerong personally welcomed the two into the house and respectfully offered Li a cup of tea: "Madam, please take your care."

Li sighed very much, took the tea and took a sip, and took her hand and told her: "Life is born by people, just be content with your mind..."

Chen Yuerong stood in front of Li with her head slightly tilted, and the red gold filigree octagonal lantern earrings hung quietly on her cheeks, which further set off her face as beautiful as the first snow.

Chen Muqing was slightly stunned.

The ruby ​​inlaid in the earrings is so beautiful... it is the size of a lotus seed rice, not like the kind of things that are found in ordinary gold buildings...

The thought flashed by, and before she could think about it, Huang's mother had already brought spring to kowtow to Li.

Li not only packed twenty boxes of added items for Chen Yuerong, but also gave her the spring feeling of serving her in Xiangpu Garden.

Chunyi kowtowed to Li in tears, with an unconcealed panic in her expression.

She was sold to the Shen family at the age of five, and now she suddenly wants to leave Kyoto with Chen Yuerong. Why doesn’t she feel helpless? But as a maid selling herself, she has no choice...

Chen Muqing was quite sad.

Her name is Yingfen, who put seven or eight silver stews in her purse, and gave them to Chunyi.

Chunyi took the purse and looked at Chen Muqing with pleading eyes.

Chen Muqing sighed inwardly and turned his face to the side.

After lunch, Li personally sent Chen Yuerong out of the house.

Chen Yuerong stood on the steps of the second door with her cloak of three gentlemen wearing rose-red silk, silk, plum, orchid, and bamboo. She looked at the inner courtyard of the Chen Mansion, smiled faintly, turned around and stepped onto the carriage with her mother Huang's shoulders.

The accompanying guard shouted, the coachman's whip waving in the air, making a clear sound, and the carriage slowly drove towards the entrance of the alley.

It was not until the carriage could not be seen that Li sighed softly and was supported by Shen Muqing and turned back.

"I just hope this child can figure it out!" Li frowned slightly, "I really worry about her like this."

"The fourth girl is a smart person. Whoever is good or bad, she will naturally figure it out after calming down!" Mother Wang on the side smiled and comforted Li, "Look at that day, the person who served accidentally hit her. If it were the past, I would have had a long time ago, but I would have understood the difficulty that day..."
