Chapter 153

Such an accident happened in front of Chen Muqing.

The second shopkeeper's face was blushing.

He stepped forward a few steps and was about to scold him, but Chen Muqing thought of Liu Niang's stubborn return of five taels of silver every year...

"Forget it, all those who come are willing to help." She smiled and pointed at Chang Hui, "Add a copy to this master at the agreed price."

The second shopkeeper was stunned.

Several bodyguards who came with Chang En have already started to cheer: "This grandma is so generous!"

Chang Hui's face turned red and she waved her hand to Chen Muqing: "Auntie, I, I really don't want money... I heard that someone came to make trouble with you, so I followed him, really..."

Seeing his embarrassed look, Chen Muqing couldn't help laughing: "Since you regard the Shen family as a friend, don't refuse - just take it as it's because our Shen family's father and brother are not convenient for us to entertain you, and give you the money for drinking."

When Chang Hui heard this, the corners of her mouth slightly closed, and she wanted to defend herself. The man named Yueshan said, "Brother Chang, your aunt looks down on you, so don't refuse. Besides, you are the smartest person, and we want you to come too, so stay!"

"Yes!" Chen Muqing smiled, "Masters say you are good at looking at the wind... They are so far away from me, what if I suffer a loss?"

Chang Hui smiled embarrassedly: "That's right..."

This matter was decided like this.

The second shopkeeper invited the escort to a restaurant not far away for dinner according to Chen Muqing's request: "I just can't drink, so as not to miss the situation. Afterwards, let the second shopkeeper accompany everyone to Tianxianglou and have fun!"

Everyone laughed.

*******

At noon, Chen Muqing had a meal in Baizhifang's house, took a nap for a while, then got up and washed up again.

The black hair was tied up, a beaded hairpin, a small lotus-colored jacket and a thread-picking skirt, and a pink armor. The whole person looked beautiful and gentle - the weaker image was easily pitying, and there was an advantage over the tough-looking people during negotiations.

Seeing that it was getting late, Chen Muqing took Yingfen and Mingxia to Yiwen Tea Shop.

The shopkeeper welcomed her to the Nuanting Pavilion: "All arrangements have been made. The one named Chang Hui is lying on the beam in the pavilion... Don't worry!"

Chen Muqing looked up and saw Chang Hui lying on the beam of the Nuan Pavilion, grinning at her.

She smiled back and told Yingfen and Mingxia to wait at the entrance of the garden: "If the person who came is a male guest, the shopkeeper will come in. If it is a female guest, you and Mingxia will be smarter."

The two nodded one after another.

Chen Muqing took a book and read it - everyone was a little at a loss, and she seemed more and more calm and calm, reading can achieve this effect.

The second shopkeeper and others' expressions were indeed not as tense as before.

But Chen Muqing, who was reading a book in his hand, couldn't read a single word.

No wonder everyone says that business in Kyoto is not easy to do. She has abundant funds and has good general Zhou Bing. She also uses the power of Chen Zhen. In this way, some people even go to the shop to make trouble. How do those common merchants do business?

She suddenly thought of Xiao Sa.

The Xiao family is one of the four major merchants in the Great Week... If it were someone from the Xiao family, how would they deal with this matter?

Should I settle the matter privately like myself? Or should I take the government's way after reporting to the official position?

Thoughts flashed, and Chen Muqing's heart suddenly became messy.

Did Xiao Sa see himself yesterday?

This thought that had been pressed down by her heart still emerged!

How could he wear a coarse cloth dress?

There seemed to be no servants around me.

It's just October, he should be in Gansu, how could he be in Kyoto?

Speaking of which, it has been almost three years since the two of them had no communication...

Thinking of this, Chen Muqing secretly shouted "Oops" in his heart.

Could something be wrong? That's why he doesn't want to meet him?

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that this was very likely.

Those people Xiao Sa’s friends, such as Prince Wang and Prince Feng, are all people who he wants. To be honest, in the eyes of those people, you, a small businessman who is from a seventh rank, are nothing. Only when you are grateful for your face can you eat and drink with you and use your money. If you are unhappy, you should feel honored to be rejected. Since his uncle Xiao Qian, although he is from a Jinshi on both the list, has always been "honest, timid, and cowardly". He went from an eighth rank county magistrate to a sixth rank to a fifth rank, and although the promotion speed is not fast, it is not slow. The problem is that he has never been in charge of one party affairs and has been a deputy for a long time... If something really happened to Xiao Sa, let alone stand out, it would be good that he could not leave it alone!

Could it be that he became so powerful because of this... he no longer had the brightness he used to be... it was very gloomy...

She thought, in the middle of winter, she was sweating so much.

Chen Muqing felt his bias for the first time.

She always believed that Xiao Sa's survival ability was amazing... Even if ninety-nine out of the 100 people in this world had no food to eat, he was the only one who could fill his stomach. So in her heart, she never thought that Xiao Sa would have nothing to solve... Or, in her subtle meaning, even if Xiao Sa was hurt, it was only a temporary moment. He would lick the wounds by himself, then heal himself or find a way to heal...

"Yingfen, Yingfen!" Chen Muqing lifted the curtain and shouted Yingfen without regard for his image.

The situation is special today. Yingfen thought something had happened to Chen Muqing, and his face changed drastically. He ran over: "Auntie, what's the matter?"

Chen Muqing pulled Yingfen to the Nuan Pavilion: "Do you still remember the Xiao family in Baishu Hutong?"

Yingfen was stunned and nodded, "Remember!"

"Go and see if the Xiao family still lives there? If you still live there, ask the people nearby and see if there are any changes in the Xiao family in recent years?"

Yingfen hesitated and said, "It's only a quarter of an hour away... Or, I'll go later?"

"Go at this time!" Chen Muqing was determined, "I have invited an escort here, and Mingxia... You should go to Baishu Hutong to take a look!"

Yingfen left in response.

Chen Muqing frowned slightly. As soon as she sat down, Mingxia had already come and reported: "Auntie, the guest is here!"

She took a deep breath, suppressed the uneasiness in her heart, and greeted her with a smile.

Mingxia lifted the curtain and the two women walked in.

The woman walking in front looked like a fifteen or sixteen years old. She had a peony bun, five or six red gold dotted green hairpins, white silk jacket, thread-picking skirt, and a big red-bottomed plum orchid and bamboo-painted flower-brown reflecting a bright face like the summer flowers in June. Behind her, a middle-aged woman, was the woman who was shouting in the shop that day.

Chen Muqing knew that the little girl in big red clothes was the master, and said with a smile: "I heard the shopkeeper say yesterday that someone went to the shop to look for me. I don't know what it was because I was not doing well. I didn't sleep well all night. Who knew that when I saw him, he was a beautiful person as beautiful as a flower... I was worried for nothing." As he said that, he ordered Mingxia: "Give the guests a refreshment." He then led the girl to sit down at the square table with black teeth in the warm pavilion.

Since entering the door, the little girl had been looking at Chen Muqing with her spring-like eyes, without saying a word. Seeing Chen Muqing asking her to sit down, she was not polite and sat directly on the rose chair at the table and looked at Chen Muqing up and down.

The middle-aged woman I saw yesterday smiled and bowed to Chen Muqing, and did not introduce herself, saying, "We heard that Yiwen Tea Shop is doing business without any deception, so we wanted to come and have a look. It alarmed grandma, I'm so embarrassed!"

Look? Is it necessary to put on such a posture?

Chen Muqing didn't even point it out. Mingxia took Bu Yue and Ningbi to bring tea and snacks. She smiled at the little girl and said, "This is the Yuqian Longjing that I brought back from Jiangnan. I will taste it."

The little girl curled her lips: "My husband's surname is Liang, and he ranks third. You can call me the third young lady!"

Chen Muqing was stunned.

It wasn't that the little girl reported that the house was familiar with her, but the little girl's mouth curled and there was a sense of oppression overflowing from the corners of her eyes and eyebrows, like a wild beast, giving people a feeling of discomfort, completely destroying her first beautiful impression on Chen Muqing.

"So it's the third young lady of the Liang family!" Chen Muqing smiled, "I'm so resolute. I don't know what's wrong with you looking for me?"

The little girl smiled coldly, and her eyes were filled with chills: "Don't you think the title of Grandma Liang's Third Young Master seems familiar?"

Chen Muqing sighed in his heart.

Unexpectedly, Liang Jimin's new wife looked like this.

She smiled and replied, "It's indeed familiar," and then quietly looked at Liang Jimin's wife, waiting for her to report her intention.

Who knew that the third young lady of the Liang family snorted coldly and said disdainfully, "You are not bad, no wonder that Wang Wenhui praised you for your beauty!"

Chen Muqing was stunned.

He glanced at the woman beside the third young lady of the Liang family.

The woman lowered her eyelids and stood quietly behind her, with her expression as usual, looking like a commonplace.

She frowned almost invisibly.

First, the tone of the third young lady of the Liang family speaking was that she did not have any respect for Wang Wenhui; second, how could a person as smart as Wang Wenhui be so casually boasted about his former wife in front of Liang Jimin's current wife?

Chen Muqing was a little annoyed.

Wang Wenhui is completely leveraging her strength to fight.

She won't be such a fool!

Chen Muqing smiled and said, "Grandma of the Third Young Master Liang family praised it. Speaking of which, Grandma of the Third Young Master is a beauty like a fairy..."

But before she finished speaking, the third young lady of the Liang family smiled coldly and interrupted her: "You don't have to be afraid, flatter me. I'm not stupid either. Wang Wenhui slapped me to fight you, and I understood in my heart. However, she is smart and really hit my mind. I really want to come and see you. What kind of person is the eldest girl of the Shen family who kicked Liang Jimin!"

Chen Muqing could no longer suppress the surprise in his heart and looked at her in surprise.

When the third young lady of the Liang family saw it, her eyes flashed, she slanted her body slightly, supported her cheek with her elbows and said softly: "I don't have three heads and six arms!" She said in a very contemptuous tone.

Chen Muqing smiled slightly, but he really didn't know what to say. She pointed to the snacks on the plate: "This is a pancake filled with lotus seeds and red dates from Ma Pozi's house. Is it suitable for my appetite?"
