Chapter 207 Two geese

The brightly colored red painted gold-painted gift box, the first layer was placed with "Tongshu Dragon and Phoenix Sticker" and "Brothering Talk". The wine jar was decorated with red paint and painted with blue dragon and phoenix patterns, silk and satin ruler heads, gold and silver jewelry, dragon and phoenix wedding cakes, various colors of fruits, quilts, as well as eggs dyed with rouge, 100 duck eggs, 100 bags of high-quality Wuyi tea, two lively carp... There were also two geese struggling and screaming in the hands of the servant wearing a red golden green robe.

Mr. Min was stunned when he saw that there was a young man wearing a green pleated shirt next to him, smiling and saluting: "I heard that my seventh brother is going to get married. This is what my father wants from a friend's house."

The man looked about thirty years old, with a slender figure, fair skin, bright eyes, and a bit kind-faced.

Mr. Min's eyes fell on Wang Qing.

Wang Qing hurriedly said, "This is the eldest son of Xiao Sa's second uncle, the eldest among his brothers, and his name is Xiao Biao. For Xiao Sa's marriage, he just arrived from his hometown in Lincheng yesterday."

After hearing this, Mr. Min suddenly realized and saluted Xiao Biao: "It turns out that he is my in-laws. Please come in and have tea."

Xiao Biao said he didn't dare and said, "I have heard of Lord Min's name for a long time. The seventh brother can come back. Thanks to you and Lord Wang, I saluted you on behalf of my father." As he said that, he actually knelt down and respectfully kowtowed to Mr. Min.

Mr. Min was startled and realized after a while. He hurriedly stepped forward and reached out to help Xiao Biao up: "This is what we should do, you don't have to be polite."

Xiao Biao couldn't stand up, so he insisted on kowtowing to Mr. Min three times before he stood up: "The marriage of Seventh Brother is also thanks to the two of you running around." As he said that, he called Xiao Xu, who was here to send the betrothal gifts together, and Xiao Xu stepped forward to salute Mr. Min: "This is my third brother Xiao Xu, and this is my fifth brother Xiao Xu."

When Mr. Min saw that the Xiao brothers were both handsome and generous, he immediately felt good about them and invited them to the flower hall for tea.

Zhou Baimu took the servant to put the boxes away and placed them in the main house for people to watch.

When the Shen family married a daughter, they only invited a few people who had a good personal relationship on weekdays. Unexpectedly, after hearing about it, Shi Jin and others sent their wives to accompany the gifts. The family was also crowded and very lively. When they saw the betrothal gifts sent by the Xiao family, they kept praising them.

Shen Muqing should avoid it, and Shi Jingshu stayed with her at Tingyuxuan.

Xiao Sa was exiled and had to act low-key when he arrived at Yanzhou Guards. She only planned to take two maids. Taking advantage of this, Shen Muqing called Li's mother and the maids in and said what she meant.

Everyone was stunned when they heard this.

The most taboo thing for family members is to withdraw from themselves but not arrange the people around them well. Don’t say that these old people will blame you in the future, even new people will feel uneasy and dare not do things for you wholeheartedly.

Shen Muqing was also a subordinate, so he didn't understand this truth. He smiled and said, "You have been following me all the time, and I will not leave you alone. Mingxia and Ningbi followed me, and the others were taken to Baizhifang by Yingfen."

Several little maids breathed a sigh of relief. Yingfen cried: "Grandma, please take me over here too!"

"Nonsense." Shen Muqing pretended to be angry and said, "You are the biggest in this room. If you don't persuade everyone, you will still take the lead in crying."

Yingfen dared not speak out and sobbed from the side.

"I feel at ease if you have your own opinions, so I gave you the people of this family." Chen Muqing continued, "Do you think it's so easy to stay in Kyoto? You have to care about the food, drink, defecation and urination of these people, and also help you come to see the master from time to time... You are in a dilemma, so you have to follow me?"

Yingfen was most afraid of people underestimating her. Thinking of herself and Mingxia coming in to serve Chen Muqing, Chen Muqing finally took Mingxia with her, and she felt very sad. Now, hearing what Chen Muqing said, she couldn't help but feel petty. She hurriedly wiped her tears and shouted embarrassedly, "Auntie, I'll listen to you."

Seeing this, Chen Muqing breathed a sigh of relief when Mother Li cried over there.

She watched Chen Muqing grow up, and when she thought of her going to follow her new aunt to the poor and bad place after she got married, she burst into tears: "Grandma, take me over too! You are so far away and have no experience to take care of you, what will your family look like! This is the same reason why my wife used me for her. If my wife was still there, she would definitely not agree to your arrangement."

Just as Chen Muqing was about to persuade Mom Li, he heard Shi Jingshu, who was next door, coughing loudly.

I knew she had something to say to her, but this time was not the time to speak.

Just as she was thinking, she saw Jasmine coming over: "Grandma, hurry up and take a look. Our girl is coughing so badly."

Chen Muqing was stunned. Unexpectedly, he really coughed and hurriedly got off the kang and went to Shi Jingshu's place.

Shi Jingshu was not coughing, looking at her and making a wink: "Mom Li's words make sense. If you think about it carefully, she was left to the person that Aunt Shen left to you for you to take with you, so naturally she has the intention."

Chen Muqing didn't understand for a moment.

Shi Jingshu couldn't help but feel anxious and said, "Yanzhou Guard might not even have a pharmacy. If you are pregnant, who will take care of you?"

Chen Muqing realized it only then, and his face turned red, not knowing what to say.

Shi Jingshu looked at it and smiled teasingly, and whispered: "You have said just now that you only have two maids, so it is natural that it is difficult to change your words, but bringing another mother over there should not be a change in the morning and night!"

Isn’t this a change of orders every day?

Chen Muqing was whispering in his heart, and a little maid came in and shouted, "My son-in-law's house has sent a lot of things... and there are two living geese!"

Geese are rare birds and are not easy to obtain. Now they are replaced by geese.

Shi Jingshu covered her mouth and smiled: "Although the time is short, the Xiao family's etiquette is not lacking."

Although Chen Muqing's face was hot, his heart was warm.

Some little maids also ran to Liuyiyuan to talk.

"I didn't expect that the Xiao family actually sent Yan..." Aunt Chen was slightly stunned.

Due to the limitation of identity, Chen Zhen married his daughter and invited Mrs. Min to take charge of the overall situation. She did not see the betrothal gifts, but Mother Tian touched her in detail. She couldn't help but whisper to comfort her in Aunt Chen's ear: "... Although there are not many silk ruler heads, dragon and phoenix wedding cakes, the collars, bracelets, hairpins, and earrings are all inlaid with gems." As she said that, she stretched out her thumb: "I also saw such a big beeswax inlaid on the comb... The Xiao family attaches importance to her aunt so much, and Brother She will not stand by and watch if he has something to do in the future. Please relax."

*******

After seeing off the people from the Xiao family, Mrs. Min handed over the betrothal gifts and orders to Chen Muqing: "You have collected them. This is something that the Xiao family gives you!"

Is she reminding her not to give these things to Aunt Chen?

Chen Muqing responded gratefully and sent Mrs. Min to Tingyuxuan's wing room to rest - tomorrow morning, as Mrs. Quanfu, she sent Chen Muqing to marry.

After Madam Min rested, she took the betrothal gift list to Chen Zhen and handed the gift list to Chen Zhen.

Chen Zhen looked at Danzi and smiled slightly: "Our family does not have the same big deal as their family, only a box of books will be used as dowry for you."

Chen Muqing burst into tears as she listened.

The wife gave herself all the valuable things in the house, and after the search, she lost some things. At this time, my father could not take out anything...

She leaned on Shen Zhen's knees: "Master, the maids around me are led by Yingfen and all of them go to Baizhifang. If you are fine, often go over and help me watch it, so that these maids will not know the greatness of the sky and the earth will regard it as a flower and fruit mountain."

Chen Zhen was stunned when he heard this.

Baizhifang, he hasn't been there for a long time...

*******

After coming out of Chen Zhen's study, Chen Muqing went to Shi Jingshu's place.

"... Yiwen tea shop, Fujian tea farm, and family affairs, please ask my sister." She handed Shi Jingshu a box with purple-purlined wood statue ivory hosta, "This is a hundred thousand taels of silver bills, and my sister takes it and uses it slowly."

Shi Jingshu was shocked when she heard this and hurriedly pushed the box into Chen Muqing's hand: "No...so much money..."

Chen Muqing pushed the box to Shi Jingshu again: "Sister, please accept it. I don't know when I will come back!"

Shi Jingshu's eyes wet as she listened.

"The yard on Baizhifang was bought by the master and his wife when they first returned to Kyoto, and later they gave me a dowry." Chen Muqing told Shi Jingshu, "If the master is not happy here, you can take the master to Baizhifang to live."

Shi Jingshu nodded with tears in her head.

Chen Muqing pointed to the box again: "Your Majesty wants to buy something like a lonely ancient loan, so you can post it from it. If it is not enough, let Pang Debao find a way... and those maids. My sister just treats it as someone around her. When she should say it, she will take care of it when she should. If anyone is disobedient, she will take care of it directly. If there is a suitable person, she will help me slowly release it, and I can't trap them here..."

Chen Muqing explained in detail, and a little maid came in and replied, "Auntie, the master asked you to go to the study."

I just came over there...

She thought, Caocao and Shi Jingshu explained a few words, and hurried to Chen Zhen's study with the maid.

Pang Debao was sitting with a man sitting in Shen Zhen's lower head and whispering to Shen Zhen.

Hearing the movement, the man turned his face.

Chen Muqing was stunned and couldn't help but whisper: "Ren Xiang?"

Ren Xiang smiled and bowed to Chen Muqing.

Chen Zhen said with a sharp look: "How do you know Ren Xiang?"

Chen Muqing suddenly sweated through his clothes.

When Li just died, Chen Zhen was in a low mood. She was afraid that Chen Zhen would worry, so she told Chen Zhen about someone handing over to Chen Yuerong, but she did not dare to say that Chen Yuerong was missing...

Ren Xiang was stunned when he heard this and immediately came to his senses. He explained with a smile: "When you had an accident, Yuerong was worried about you, so he asked me to come to Kyoto to find out the news... I met my aunt at that time." As he said that, he also winked at Chen Muqing.

Chen Muqing never deceived Chen Zhen - he only knew what to say at the right time. But this matter was really important, and she couldn't help but hesitate.

Who is Chen Zhen? I immediately felt something was wrong between the two.

He couldn't help but shout, "Mu Qing, tell me the truth. How did you meet?"

Chen Muqing hesitated for a moment and told Chen Zhen about Chen Yuerong's disappearance.

Ren Xiang couldn't help but smile bitterly after listening.

Chen Zhen looked at Ren Xiang with shock: "After such a big thing, you hide it from me? Why did Yuerong be in Taicang? I don't know that Mu Qing is going to get married..."

Ren Xiang immediately knelt down: "It's all my fault!"
