The next day, Mr. Min went to the Shen family.

"...I asked Xia Zhiqing later, and he said that when he heard the noise on the first floor, he saw Dai Gui and Xiao Sa running upstairs." Mr. Min told Chen Zhen all the things that happened in Baihua Building, "At that time, I was in the hall, and many people who were drinking in Baihua Restaurant ran out to watch the fun when they heard the noise... I think this matter was done by Xiao Sa."

Chen Zhen personally carried the purple clay pot and refilled the water for Lord Min: "Xiao Sa is kind, righteous, loyal and brave. Not to mention you, even me, I like him very much. In case of trouble, no matter what the reason, I am willing to save him as much as I can. But as my son-in-law, I don't want Mu Qing to suffer with him."

"I never thought so!" Mr. Min smiled, "You may not know yet. When I came to visit the house for the fifth day of the lunar month, Mu Qing had privately asked me to convince you. I replied to Mu Qing: I can't even pass this level myself. So I didn't make any noise in front of you. But through this, my view of Xiao Sa was different. He was far-sighted and honest. He had never seen a second person in his life except you."

Chen Zhen didn't make any sound.

Mr. Min picked up the teacup and drank a sip of the fine Wuyi tea, and said lightly: "Listen to Xia Zhiqing's tone, it seems that Xiao Sa rushed down from the building when Liang Jimin criticized Mu Qing in the public court..."

Chen Zhen was stunned: "What did Liang Jimin say?"

"I asked, but Xia Zhiqing was unwilling to repeat it." Mr. Min's expression was even more indifferent, "I just said that I didn't expect that Liang Jimin was such a villain. It would be wiser if the aunt of the Shen family separated from him."

Chen Zhen looked at the teacup on his desk and was speechless for a while.

*******

Chen Muqing looked at the purple-purlined wood box in his hand and his eyes were red: "...I only borrowed 30,000 taels of silver notes at that time, so I didn't need so much!"

The eldest wife of the Xiao family took Chen Muqing's hand, and her tone of speech made her sobbed a little: "Good boy, I know that it hurts your heart. If you want to blame, blame Xiao Sa; if you want to scold, scold Xiao Sa. Just blame him for not taking responsibility..." As she said that, tears finally fell, "I have no other ability. If you don't dislike me, you will treat me as an elder who cares about you. When there is any dilemma in money, you will send someone a letter to Liansheng Inn. I haven't taken it seriously for 100,000 or 80,000..."

Chen Muqing's eyes couldn't help falling down.

Xiao Sa said that day that the eldest wife would ask her to return the money to her the next day, but until the Chinese New Year, no one came from the Xiao family. She thought Xiao Sa used her usual tricks again and was about to drag her with this. Unexpectedly, just after the Chinese New Year, the eldest wife actually came...

The eldest lady was also full of thoughts.

Xiao Sa came back from the Shen family and actually brought Pang Debao back. She had a bad premonition at that time. Sure enough, Xiao Sa locked herself in the house for a day, and the first thing she did was to ask her to give her 50,000 taels of silver to Chen Muqing.

She asked him why.

The son only said one sentence, "I can't drag the Shen family down any longer."

She understood at that time.

It’s a pity that Xiao Zhao, a cold-hearted man, heard his son say this, and even encouraged his son to go to the Shen family to propose marriage. He also said: “Now everyone in Kyoto knows that it was the Shen family who saved you. You go to propose marriage. First, you repay the Shen family’s life-saving grace and let others know that you are not an ungrateful person; second, there is also a person who relies on you - to be honest, I don’t know if you don’t get along with each other. Although the master of the Shen family has retired, his influence is there, and the good relationships he made when he was an official in the past were there. Take your return to Beijing as an example. If it weren’t for him, it would be impossible for anyone to change to... The young master of the Shen family is young and young, and you become the son-in-law of the Shen family and manage it well in the future. Mr. Shen’s connections are not all yours sooner or later..."

She was also moved at that time.

The fourth uncle once said that Mr. Shen had been a local official for more than 20 years. He was a famous capable official in the Great Zhou Dynasty and also served as the chief examiner of the Spring Examination... If Xiao Sa could climb into this marriage, it could be said that he was "a carp jumping over the dragon gate"!

Who knew that the son, who had always been unwilling to talk to his biological father and mother, patiently explained this time: "Now I am just taking into account the reputation of the old ministers. After three or five years of the throne, the Supreme Emperor is the thorn in his eyes and the flesh. As long as I think of this, those who protect the Supreme Emperor from Bahe are probably the scapegoats... Could it be that Mu Qing will be a widow? Don't mention this matter again. I owe the Shen family, so I will always owe it! Although I can let go, I hope she can always remember me... It's love and hatred... I'll walk in this world, which can be considered a sound..."

I thought of Xiao Zhao that year...

Finally, I gave birth to a son who is affectionate and loyal!

The eldest lady couldn't help but hug Chen Muqing and started crying.

How great it would be if this marriage was done!

*******

Saying the eldest wife away, Chen Zhen is here.

Chen Muqing felt a little guilty and hurriedly stuffed the red sandalwood box under the pillow.

"The eldest lady will return to Guangzhou tomorrow. I came here to say goodbye to me today." Chen Muqing took the tea brought by Yingfen and handed it to Chen Zhen.

Chen Zhen nodded, took the teacup and drank a sip of tea. Without asking, he asked her: "Have you decided to set off for a date?"

Chen Muqing's eyes darkened: "I want to set up a temple for my wife on Qingming Festival and then set off for Fujian with Sister Jingshu."

Chen Zhen looked at Chen Muqing and sighed deeply.

*******

Soon, the wind blew on her face and no longer felt chill. Chen Muqing began to pack her luggage to Fujian and asked Mrs. Min to help care about Yingfen and Mingxia in her room. Both of them were not young and it was time to get married.

Mrs. Min asked Chen Muqing what conditions were.

"As of the same age as you have good character!"

Mrs. Min talked about her younger brother: "...my sister-in-law has been ill in bed for more than ten years. She wants to find a capable concubine to help the housekeeper and the children."

I gave Jinxiu to Mr. Min because she was willing, and the situation at that time was the only chance to save her.

Chen Muqing said tactfully: "They are used to being in front of me and I. The whole family has suffered when they go."

Mrs. Min understood what she meant, and it was a pity that she liked Yingfen's boldness very much.

The two chatted for a few more times, and Chen Muqing said goodbye and returned to the Chen Mansion, and couldn't help but feel a little regretful and indifferent.

When Shi Jingshu knew about it, she volunteered to help solve the problem: "...When I was in Nanjing, I met many small merchants, all of whom were honest and dedicated. There were several sons from very good families. When I wrote a letter, I would like to ask my mother to help you do this."

Chen Muqing was also afraid of exaggerating the media, so he couldn't help but feel a little hesitant.

Shi Jingshu smiled and said, "Don't worry. We will go to Nanjing to visit people. Speaking of which, Jasmine and Zijing are also old enough to go out. They have children from their families, and their aunt will decide on their marriage..." Speaking of this, a little sadness appeared on their faces.

Shi Jingshu wants to take this incident back to Nanjing to take a look?

Chen Muqing felt sad. He deliberately made a happy look to adjust the atmosphere: "You must be responsible! If someone says bad things, I won't let you go!"

Shi Jingshu hurriedly smiled and said, "Don't worry, don't worry, my mother is not that exaggerated person."

*******

The things were almost done, and the time to go to the temple to build a temple was made. Chen Muqing went to tell Chen Zhen that he happened to meet Mr. Min talking to Shen Zhen.

The servant went in and reported, and quickly lifted the curtain and asked Chen Muqing to go in.

The atmosphere in the room was very solemn, and Chen Zhen and Mr. Min both had calm faces.

Chen Muqing's heart was thrilled, and he smiled and went forward to salute to both of them.

Instead of making fun of Muqing as usual, Mr. Min stood up and said goodbye.

Chen Zhen did not keep Mr. Min for dinner as usual, but asked the servant to see him off.

Chen Muqing was shocked.

After Chen Zhen retreated, his relationship with Mr. Min became closer and closer... What happened between the two?

Chen Muqing remained silent. After Mr. Min left, he told Chen Zhen about his purpose: "...If the weather is not good, please rest at home! I'll just go to the temple!"

"I'll go with you." Chen Zhen's face was still a little unwilling, "You tell Baimu to prepare the carriage and horses by then."

Chen Muqing agreed "yes" and used the excuse to tell Aunt Chen about her time to go to the temple.

As soon as she walked out the door, she carried her skirt to chase Mr. Min.

Fortunately, he had big feet and finally caught up with Mr. Min at the gate. He had just gotten into the warm sedan chair and had not had time to put down the curtain of the sedan chair.

Seeing Chen Muqing panting, Mr. Min was very surprised and quickly got out of the warm sedan chair and walked towards her: "But Master..."

"No, no!" Chen Muqing shook his head quickly and waited for Mr. Min in the gatekeeper at the gate.

The old Cangtou, who was guarding the gate, hurriedly retreated.

Chen Muqing asked Mr. Min: "But what happened? I see that you and the master both looked very heavy!"

Mr. Min smiled and said, "Nothing happened!"

Chen Muqing was still a little worried and said, "'The ears are right when you are 60 years old, and the ears are as good as you want.' Now the master is a person who sits six or seven years old, and he is inevitably a little bit angry..."

Before she could finish speaking, Mr. Min sighed deeply.

Chen Muqing couldn't help but look at him in shock.

Mr. Min looked at her, his eyes full of hesitation.

"What happened?" Chen Muqing couldn't help but burst into tears.

"Mu Qing," said Mr. Min, "Is it Xiao Sa. Xiao Sa something wrong?"

Chen Muqing only felt that his eyes were dark. She held the corner of the square table beside her and stabilized her body: "What happened to Xiao Sa?"

"The court lost its etiquette in front of the palace!" Mr. Min said sadly, "...I was stole a hundred times in the court! I am still unconscious now."

"How could this happen?" Chen Muqing's face was as pale as paper, and his eyes couldn't help falling down, "When was it? Who is taking care of him?"
