Chapter 181: Different Ways

"... Everyone in the family cares about you very much. You have to take care of yourself. A real man can stretch and bend, and don't lose his temper with those guards. As the saying goes, it is better to offend gentlemen than punish villains. They are all people who act on orders. If you lose your temper, you can't change the status quo, and you will also make your relationships with others. You have always been good at dealing with relationships with others, so I won't say that there are too many. The weather in Bahe is cold, and living under other people's roofs is normal. It's better to help those guards run errands more, and it's better to eliminate the cold..."

"Can you write this?" The eldest lady sweated as she listened.

"Are you too long-winded?" Chen Muqing looked at the stack of paper in his hand, "Xiao Sa's temperament is a little stubborn... I'm really worried that he can't stand the humiliation of those guards..."

"Then, then just write it like this!" said the eldest lady hurriedly, "I have never written a letter to him either... You have written a letter to him, and I think there will be no mistake."

Chen Muqing was ashamed.

When did you write a letter to him?

She argued: "I don't have..."

Before she could finish her words, the eldest lady said: "I made him a close-fitting vest, using a high-quality camel plush, which was light and warm, and it didn't look bloated when worn - no one could tell."

Chen Muqing nodded and added to the back of the letter: "...I made a black coarse cloth jacket for you." She looked up at the eldest wife, "Make it with coarse cloth, the more ordinary it is, the better."

"It's made of coarse cloth," said the eldest lady, "how dare I let him attract attention there!"

"Then you have something to bring, I'll write it together!"

The eldest wife pondered: "...I also made him a pair of cashmere knee protection, some clothes made from Jiangnan tribute sections, golden hairpins..."

Chen Muqing was stunned and couldn't help but lift the pen.

The eldest wife explained: "If you send the things over, you will inevitably be flipped around. Make some good things, just mention him and wear these two pieces on your body."

Chen Muqing felt that the eldest wife's concerns made sense, so he lowered his head and continued to write: "Be smarter, remember to put the black vest and knee pads on your hands..."

"Big Madam," there was the voice of Ginkgo outside, "Big Madam is here!"

The eldest lady was stunned.

Chen Muqing was also a little surprised when she was writing the letter. She looked at the eldest lady and found that the eldest lady looked a little dull.

The ginkgo outside did not wait for the reply and hesitated: "I told the master that you have something to do, but the master..."

The eldest lady came to her senses and her expression on her face was faint: "Let the eldest master wait in the main hall."

Ginkgo leaves in response.

The eldest lady looked at Chen Muqing apologetically: "I don't know what he is here to do? You sit in the room for a while, I'll send him and come back."

Hearing that tone, he looked very impatient.

It’s a bit speechless when the couple has reached this level!

Chen Muqing thought, nodded quickly, stood up and greeted the eldest lady.

"Sit down quickly, sit down quickly, the ground is cold!" The eldest lady pressed her on the kang, smiled at her, and then went to the main hall.

She was the only one left in the room, quietly. The main room and the bedroom were separated by internal fans, and the movements in the main room were clearly heard into her ears.

"Master, please have tea!"

After the eldest wife's voice, there was a gentle sound of hitting the porcelain.

"Uncle comes to see me, but what's wrong?" said a very polite tone.

After a silence, a middle-aged man's voice sounded: "I went to the fourth brother's place. The fourth brother's meaning coincides with mine." His voice was low and mellow, with a little anxiety. "Whoever sat in that position was afraid he wouldn't want to come down. It was a fool to expect the emperor to save the emperor."

The person who spoke should be Xiao Zhao.

Chen Muqing thought, and then he heard the eldest lady say softly: "What does the master mean?"

The voice was a little tense, and she heard some tentative smell.

Chen Muqing's heart also hangs.

How would Xiao Sa’s father answer?

What decision will he make for this son who is out of power?

Chen Muqing's hands clenched tightly into fists. She tiptoed to the curtain, gently lifted the curtain, and looked out through the crack of the curtain.

Her eyes fell on the couple sitting in the main room, standing left and right, and couldn't help but be stunned.

It turned out that Xiao Sa looked like his father... Although time never forgiving, Xiao Zhao was still straight and his eyes were still bright. He had a kind of majesty like a sharp sword hidden box in every move.

"You can't let you mess around anymore about Sa'er." His tone was a little cold, "You have to listen to me on this matter!"

"Master, please tell me!" The eldest lady looked at Xiao Zhao with a smile, but her eyes were as sharp as an eagle, "I'll do it!"

Xiao Zhao's face changed slightly when he heard this, and he smiled coldly, saying, "To be honest, Sa'er will fall to this point today because of you."

The eldest lady didn't make a sound, but just raised her eyebrows.

Xiao Zhao immediately looked sarcastic - at this moment, Xiao Sa was like a young man.

"If you hadn't adopted him to the fourth brother, if you hadn't nagged him every time you saw him, asked him to make achievements, and be a real man who had been famous in history, how could he have gone all the way..."

"You don't have to see me as an old account." The eldest lady interrupted Xiao Zhao's words, "When he passed the martial arts top scorer, you were happy. You just said whatever you said!"

"You!" Xiao Zhao's face changed drastically. He pointed at the eldest lady for a while, but suppressed his anger and lowered his voice: "I have found four top experts in the world and set off for Bahe in the past two days - then you can see if there are any suitable families and let him enter the Zheng family tree... It's okay if you are a concubine's son next to you..."

When the eldest wife heard this, her face seemed to be covered with frost.

Hello, Xiao Zhao, my son went to Zheng's family to be a concubine's son. Your concubine's son entered the Xiao family's family tree as a legitimate son... She felt like she was fried in her heart... slowly turned the teacup at her hand, and the eldest lady whispered: "You won't bother with his business. I have raised a million taels of silver - at that time, I'll find a way to redeem him!"

"One million taels of silver?" Xiao Zhao stood up after hearing the "Teng" sound, "Is this a matter of one million taels of silver? If someone can redeem it with silver, let alone one million taels, two million taels or three million taels, I will get all the money together. Now, you are still dreaming of your edict, and it will take your son's will to earn you an edict." At this point, he relaxed, "I have discussed Sa'er's matter with my father, and my father also agreed with me - to negotiate with Mo Guo in the name of our Xiao family. If he releases him, our Xiao family will have five years of releasing him. For a period of time, Yuan Meng is given 200,000 taels of silver worth of salt, silk, porcelain and other items every year to offset the ransom. In this way, the conditions are even richer than the unsuccessful ones - 500,000 taels of silver. We cannot get it from the government's nose to Bahe. If we do not agree to let the four masters take the opportunity to save Sa'er. I will only inform you, don't mess around in Kyoto. I heard from my fourth brother that you have given at least 100,000 taels of silver during this period... If you have this money, it is better to keep it while Sa'er comes back and find a way to buy some property for him."

The eldest lady was panicked now.

She glanced at the bedroom where Chen Muqing was.

"Don't do anything randomly. The Shen family has agreed to help, and it also said that in a few days the court will ask an adult from the Ministry of Rites, Wang Qing, to go to Bahe..."

"What can he do when he is a small boy? This is a fool!" Xiao Zhao's blue veins raised out of his temples, "Why can the Shen family help us? Let me tell you, Xiao Sa is crazy, I'm not crazy yet. He wants to marry the Shen family's aunt and come in, don't even think about it!"

The eldest wife's face turned red.

She was afraid that Chen Muqing would hear this.

The eldest lady couldn't help but look at the curtain in the bedroom again.

She lowered her voice and said, "Don't think about it? Why don't you think about it? Why do you care who he married? He has his own parents, and he has his own people who make decisions for him. Why are you shouting here? It's really funny..."

Xiao Zhao jumped up like a cat with his tail stepped on: "Zheng Yueniang, don't say that you have lost my wife, but now you still want Xiao Sa to marry a daughter-in-law as a daughter-in-law. Let her son watch her wife's eyes every day... I won't stop you from climbing up the branches, but I can't let you sell my son!"

The eldest lady was so angry that her whole body trembled, pointing at Xiao Zhao and sneered: "I'm the queen of yours. Isn't it written in the genealogy that you have a son named Xiao Cheng? You're the queen of yours? Where did Xiao Cheng come from?"

"I told you when you married me that I have a concubine son named Xiao Cheng." The expression on Xiao Zhao's face was so stolen. "What? Are you here to get old accounts now? What have you been doing?"

"Hunhair, ginkgo..." the eldest lady shouted loudly, "Send out the guests!"

Xiao Zhao turned his sleeves and left.

"Wait..." Chen Muqing lifted the curtain, "Master Xiao, wait! I have something to say!"

When Xiao Zhao heard this, he turned around and saw a beautiful girl with a wise and sly eyes standing beside the curtain of the bedroom.

The eldest lady had already walked over and took Chen Muqing's hand: "I'll make you laugh... I didn't want you to know that Sa'er was tempted by such an incredible parent..." As she said that, Dou Da's tears fell.

Chen Muqing tightly held the eldest lady's hand and looked at Xiao Zhao calmly with a smile: "My name is Chen Muqing, I have something I want to talk to you."

Xiao Zhao raised his eyebrows, stood there, and said coldly: "If you have anything to say, I still have something to do!"

"You..." The eldest lady was so angry that she was about to rush over, but was pulled back by Chen Muqing.

"That's right," she said lightly, "As soon as Manager Pang told me that Xiao Sa and the Emperor disappeared, I sent a friend to find him-as a result, he not only was he unwilling to take advantage of the chaos to leave the danger with my friend, but also gave up the opportunity to come back when exchanging prisoners."

The couple was shocked and said in unison: "How could this happen?"

Chen Muqing nodded and said solemnly: "After he followed the emperor to Bahe, I asked my friend to bring him a letter... If everything goes well, my friend should be back in the next few days."

The eldest wife and Xiao Zhao's faces were a little shady and unstable.
