The next day, Chen Muqing asked Luomei and Zhuji to accompany Jiang Shuangrui to see if there was anything suitable for gifts in her dowry, and she returned to the Shen family in Mingshifang.

Li did not receive a letter before, and he was naturally surprised to hear that Chen Muqing came back. Fortunately, Shen Muqing also knew that Li would definitely think about it when he went back like this. Even Chen Zhen, who was muffled at home, did not go to pay a visit, and went directly to Chaoxi Hall.

After sending his maids and daughter-in-law around, Chen Muqing told the story of what happened in the Liang family yesterday, and finally said: "...I remember there is a picture of Emperor Ai's "Lychee and Pigeon Picture" by Emperor Ai. However, my mother-in-law and sister-in-law were present at that time. It was the master's beloved thing, so I couldn't make the decision, so I specially found an excuse to come back and ask my wife. Can I use that picture for me? In the future, I will find a way to find a painting of Emperor Ai to give to the master."

Li laughed and raised his eyebrows at Mother Wang beside him, and said, "Look, look, look. It's been a month since the Liang family came back and asked for things. No wonder they say that girls are outgoing. It's not false at all!"

Chen Muqing blushed: "Madam!" He pulled Li's sleeve and acted coquettishly.

Mother Wang knew that Li was playing tricks with her daughter, and she smiled with her sleeves and did not speak too much.

"You're late!" Li sighed deeply, looking very regretful.

Chen Muqing was stunned: "Is there someone who has this idea? I don't know who it is? How can the master bear to give up his love?"

"You also know that it's the master who is trying to give up his love?" Li said in a strange voice, "Why come back and ask for it?"

Chen Muqing had to come with a slutty face. She hugged Li and shook her left and right: "Madam, this is related to your son-in-law's future in his life...

"Oh!" Li smiled and stroked his forehead, "Don't shake my old bones!"

Chen Muqing really didn't dare to shake her anymore. He smiled and said, "Madam, just help me this time!"

"You!" Li pointed at Mu Qing's nose, "Work your brain. Who else can make the master reluctantly give up?"

Chen Muqing thought for a while and asked, "Mr. Min?"

Mrs. Li shook her head.

"Sir Liu? Their nephew also seems to have participated in the examination!"

Li smiled and patted her head gently: "Who else can the master be so humble to besides you!"

Chen Muqing was stunned.

Li smiled and said, "The master of our family's "Lychee and Pigeon Picture" was taken out from Curry two days ago. Mr. Ouyang personally sent it to Lord Yuan - you're relieved. Not only Lord Yuan sent someone, but Lord Liu, who presided over the imperial examination with Lord Yuan, and Lord Xu also sent someone to handle the matter!"

Chen Muqing was even more surprised.

The conversation between Liang Jimin and Liang Shuxin in Cong Lutang that day came to her ears.

Could it be that Chen Zhen is planning to cheat in the imperial examination for Liang Jimin, his son-in-law?

This is no trivial matter!

"Madam," Chen Muqing felt his forehead wet, "My husband is still young, I failed the exam this year, and I can take another exam in three years... I want to give gifts to Lord Yuan, but I just want my husband to be more confident..."

If the imperial examination can be on the list by giving gifts and favors, why should the descendants of the ministers and descendants of the court study hard?

Li was stunned at first, and then quickly understood what Chen Muqing meant.

She smiled and said, "You kid - can you be an official in vain for years!"

Chen Muqing was a little ashamed.

"I, I saw that the master helped the Liang family to suppress military information last time..." she murmured, "Aren't you a little worried, but you'll be confused if you care?"

"Silly kid," Li smiled, "That's that, this is this. It's a century-old plan to recruit scholars in the court. The master also came from the imperial examination, so how could he get out of order?"

Chen Muqing smiled awkwardly: "Is that true?"

Li nodded seriously: "Did you choose this son-in-law for you casually? Ji Min had won Jie Yuan before. And the master also went to the Imperial College in person, read all the articles he had written, and talked to his previous Mr. Enlightenment - Isn't he real talent and I able to marry my daughter to him casually?"

Chen Muqing really doesn't know.

Looking at Li's gray hair, she felt sad.

*******

That day, Chen Muqing stayed at the Shen family and was at the lantern.

She accompanied Li to have lunch, and in the afternoon she drew a pastel peony picture for Chen Zhen at Jiusizhai. At dusk, the whole family had dinner together.

When she returned to the Liang family, she went to pay tribute to the grandma first.

The lady leaned alone on the pillow next to the window with a blank expression, and did not see Aunt Liu who often served by her.

Chen Muqing saluted the grandmother. The grandmother smiled and pointed to the cushion beside her and said, "Muqing, come, sit down and talk to her grandmother."

Chen Muqing responded with a smile, "Yes" and half sat by the kang.

The lady showed a thoughtful expression, and after a while, she said softly: "Your mother-in-law said I was biased. Do you think so too?"

Chen Muqing felt that he was not qualified to judge or preside over justice by these old diseases.

She smiled and said, "I have married into the Liang family, and everyone is harmonious. My grandmother treats us kindly and politely. I really don't understand what you said."

After hearing this, the lady showed a tired smile after a while.

She nodded and said, "You have been back to your parents' home, and it's very hard. Go and rest!"

Chen Muqing smiled and stood up to bless the lady again, then stepped back gently and went to Feng's place.

Feng had already received the letter and waited in front of Gui Aitang's hanging flower gate. When she saw Chen Muqing, she hurriedly greeted her, not caring about the maids and daughter-in-law beside her and said, "Shuangrui has found a few ancient porcelains from the previous dynasty in your place--and I'm waiting for you to come back!"

Chen Muqing looked at the people around him and smiled and said, "Mom, let's go back to the room to talk!"

"Okay, okay, okay!" Feng immediately understood that this was not the place to speak, so he pulled Chen Muqing back to the main house.

Mother Dong stopped the servants beside her and Chen Muqing whispered to Feng: "Mom, Master said, please stop making trouble, be careful that there is any bad news."

Feng did not expect Chen Muqing to bring back such news. She was stunned and said unwillingly: "Then, will you not go to the place where Lord Yuan?"

Chen Muqing laughed softly and said, "Mom, the master has been there, and he has found a painting of Emperor Ai and sent it over. Moreover, the wife also said that it is not enough to just take care of Mr. Yuan, and he also needs to take care of other people. Let us rest assured that the master has taken into account all his actions."

"Ah!" Feng looked at Chen Muqing in surprise, saying something no matter how often, "In-laws, in-laws have already gone!"

Chen Muqing nodded: "The master also said that he knew it, so let's not do anything randomly."

Feng nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay, okay. Everything is followed by the in-laws!"

The matter of giving away paintings finally came to an end.

From that day on, all the eyes of the Liang family were focused on Liang Jimin. Chen Muqing also began to take the maid to take care of Liang Jimin's three meals a day, wash clothes and clothes every day. Liang Jimin also changed his previous leisure and began to study all night long. Sometimes Chen Muqing went to give him soup, and when he saw that he was nervous, he would say a few playful words to tease him. Although Liang Jimin only smiled faintly, Chen Muqing could see that his spirit was much relaxed.

The days flew in a flash, and it was soon the first day of the February 1st.

The grandmother and Feng went to the ancestral hall early in the morning to incense the ancestors of the Liang family, and then went to Conglu Hall to check the pen, ink, paper and inkstone that Liang Jimin wanted to bring into the examination room. After lunch, Li sent his mother Wang to give Liang Jimin a talisman, saying that he had specially visited Wanshou Temple in Baizhifang to ask for it. People in Kyoto say that Wanshou Temple in Baizhifang was protected by Wenquxing, so every year when the imperial examination was held, it was difficult to find a talisman.

Feng was very grateful and asked his mother Dong to follow his mother Wang to Mingshifang to thank her on her behalf.

In the afternoon, Feng went to the kitchen to prepare dry food for Liang Jimin, so Chen Muqing naturally followed Feng obediently and busy.

At night, Feng checked everything again and went to Lucongtang.

She held Liang Jimin's hand and kept telling him to put his health first and to be cautious when entering the exam room. Never write before, because someone had missed the exam...

The lady frowned when she heard this, and drove everyone out of Cong Lutang on the grounds that Liang Jimin needed to rest.

Chen Muqing thought of the scene of taking the college entrance examination.

She made a cheering gesture to Liang Jimin and followed Feng away from Cong Lutang with a smile.

At the end of the next day, everyone started.

After asking the grandmother for the care of the grandmother, Feng took three wives to send Liang Jimin to the corner gate of the second gate.

Liang Shuxin had already brought the servant Hou there - he would personally send Liang Jimin to the examination room.

Liang Jimin took the exam for nine days, but the Liang family was nervous for nine days.

Aunt Liu has been accompanying the wife to copy Buddhist scriptures. Although Feng still presided over the gifts as usual, a small thing can anger her and seem very irritating. Even Shen Muqing often thinks about what to say if Liang Jimin misses her and comforts him.

When Liang Jimin left the exam room, Liang Shuxin still took his servants to pick him up.

Sure enough, entering the examination room was like going to prison. Liang Jimin lost a lot of weight, but he was very energetic. His two small eyes were bright and joyful.

When the lady saw his appearance, she clasped her head and recited "Amitabha" toward the West.

But Feng did not calm down as his wife, and pulled Liang Jimin's sleeve and kept asking: "How is it, how did you do the exam?"

Liang Jimin smiled faintly, her eyes full of confidence: "I have to wait until the list is released before I know!"

Chen Muqing hurriedly stepped forward to help Feng: "Mom, my husband is a calm person. Even if he did well in the exam, he would not talk nonsense in advance." As he said that, he raised his jaw towards Liang Jimin, "Look at my husband!"

Liang Jimin smiled but said nothing. Feng looked at his son up and down, and felt a little calmer.

After coming out of Gui Aitang, Liang Jimin stood on Taiji hesitated.

Chen Muqing pretended not to know and smiled and said, "Honey, please go back to Conglu Hall quickly! You still have to prepare for the palace examination!"

"Then you..." Liang Jimin murmured slightly.

Chen Muqing pulled Liang Youhui, who had just walked out of Gui Ai Hall: "Let's go back first!"

Liang Jimin said "Oh" softly, looking very disappointed.
Chapter completed!
