Chapter 208
She hurriedly pleaded for Ren Xiang: "Master, he is also for our own good." She also told Ren Xiang that for Chen Yuerong's reputation, he took everything on her.
Chen Zhen sighed deeply as he heard this: "You have no news about Yuerong's incident?"
Chen Muqing shook his head.
Ren Xiang also said: "In recent years, Mr. Xiao and General Dai have been looking for each other, but there has been no news."
This news made Chen Zhen look dim. No one in the room dared to say anything, and looked at Chen Zhen quietly.
After a long time, Chen Zhen asked Ren Xiang with regret: "What have you been doing in the past few years?"
"Young Master Xiao has a dock in Tanggu," Ren Xiang smiled, "I have been helping Youth Master Xiao take care of the dock."
"It's good to have a businessman." Chen Zhen said, leaning tiredly on the pillow, "It's getting late. Although you are not our Shen family's son-in-law, you are still a guest of our family for Mu Qing's marriage. Manager Pang, please send Mr. Ren to the guest room for me to rest."
The two of them hurriedly bowed and walked out.
"I originally thought that the family was a small family, so I asked you to meet this cousin husband. If you have any problems, you will take care of each other." Chen Zhen sighed, "I didn't expect that this was the situation."
Chen Muqing comforted Chen Zhen: "Master, we didn't expect it."
Chen Zhen sighed sadly.
Seeing that he was in a bad mood, Chen Muqing sat with Chen Zhen for a while and talked about topics that his father was interested in.
"... The box sent by Mrs. Yuan is a picture of Emperor Ai's flowers and birds. When Mrs. Min saw it, she said, "Good things are going to be together, why did she only send one picture? After hearing this, Mrs. Yuan asked the maid to bring another one... Do you think this is Mrs. Yuan's idea? Or is Mrs. Yuan's idea?"
Chen Zhen was indeed interested: "Have you sent two pictures of Emperor Ai's flowers and birds?"
Chen Muqing nodded with a smile.
"Let's go, let's take a look." Chen Zhen ignored the day, "Yuan Yu is the best at copying Emperor Ai's paintings. Could it be a fake, right?"
"Really?" Chen Muqing pretended not to know that Yuan Yu was good at copying Emperor Ai's paintings and said with a smile, "That's to take a closer look!"
The father and daughter went to Tingyuxuan, and Chen Zhen expanded the two pictures and watched them carefully under the lamp.
Seeing that his father no longer thought about Chen Yuerong, Chen Muqing breathed a sigh of relief and yawned and said, "You might as well take it back to the house and take a look... I'm going to sleep."
Chen Zhen hesitated a little: "I haven't prepared a dowry for you. If I don't take this painting with me tomorrow... I'd better forget it?"
"Is it auspicious time to be the end of You? It's still early to leave!"
Chen Zhen thought about it and said, "Okay. I'll take it back and take a look. I'll come to the mountains tomorrow and let him help me identify the authenticity."
Chen Muqing nodded repeatedly, sent Chen Jin out, turned around and cleaned up the box, and then went to Shi Jingshu's place.
"You are going to marry tomorrow, so why don't you go to bed early." Shi Jingshu had already fallen asleep. When she heard her coming, she put on her clothes and got up. "I don't know when I will be able to rest tomorrow night. Be careful not to hold on then."
Chen Muqing asked Yingfen to hand over the things to Shi Jingshu: "There are Qingtian stones given by Mrs. Min, Duan inkstones given by Mrs. Shi, and the former dynasty guqin given by Mrs. Wang... These are all loved by the master. After I leave, you will give the master the things."
"Is this OK?" Shi Jingshu hesitated, "I'm afraid Uncle Shen won't agree."
"That's why you're asked to take it out after I'm leaving!" Chen Muqing smiled, "and there are two paintings of Emperor Ai given by Mrs. Yuan, you will give them to the master at that time."
Shi Jingshu was still a little hesitant.
Chen Muqing couldn't help but say angrily: "Would you let me take such a good thing to Yanzhou Guard?"
Shi Jingshu thought, so too. Then she smiled and said, "If Uncle Shen scolds people, I will write a letter to scold you!"
Chen Muqing smiled and hugged Shi Jingshu's shoulder: "Don't worry, sister. Good people are all you, bad people are all me."
Shi Jingshu smiled and pinched Chen Muqing's cheeks: "Look, how come this mouth is so agile..."
Chen Muqing's cat hid.
The two started to make a fuss with a smile.
*******
Early the next morning, Qiu Shuiju came to comb Chen Muqing's hair.
At noon, Chen Muqing was waiting for the Xiao family's sedan chair to pick her up. In Tingyu Xuan, Shi Jingshu was the only one with her, and it was very quiet. The outer courtyard of Chen's mansion was in full swing - the noon banquet had already begun.
Ren Xiang was shocked when he saw that Pang Debao was actually in charge of the accountant: "Why are you here?"
Pang Debao couldn't help but smile bitterly: "The young master asked me to help manage affairs in the Shen family - my aunt went to Yanzhouwei, but she was still thinking about the in-laws!"
"But Brother Qi is going to Sichuan!" Ren Xiang followed the people of the Xiao family to respect Xiao Sa as "Brother Qi". "Wouldn't you be able to follow him a hundred times better than staying in Kyoto? Unexpectedly, before this wife got married, Brother Qi first got the 'Ji Changzhi fetish'!" As he said that, he couldn't help laughing quietly.
Ren Xiang and Xiao Sa are used to making trouble, but Pang Debao can't listen to Xiao Sa's fault, so naturally they can't talk about it together.
Pang Debao stared at him coldly: "Look at you like this, you are very ambitious! I think you will be a person who often walks around Huajie and Liuxiang in the future!"
Ren Xiang also knew Pang Debao's temperament and smiled embarrassedly. Seeing Pang Debao's stern face and displeased, thinking of Pang Debao's status in the Xiao family, he said flatteringly: "Or, I will stay in Kyoto for you. Speaking of which, the business in Tianjin is on the right track. Just go over and check the accounts from time to time!"
Pang Debao sneered at first, but then his heart moved.
In comparison with Xiao Sa, the Shen family is naturally more important.
Today I agreed to the account and couldn't walk anywhere. Tomorrow is the next day, and the new wife wants to pay her respects to her father-in-law and in-laws... It's time to return the door the day after tomorrow... Xiao Sa is also preparing to accompany Chen Muqing back in the morning and set off for Yanzhou Guard in the afternoon.
Thinking of this, he had an idea in his mind.
*******
The Mrs. Quanfu invited by the Xiao family turned out to be Zeng Ju's wife.
This Mrs. Zeng usually doesn't come out to walk around. Even when Chen Zhen was in power, he never visited the Shen family.
Mrs. Zeng helped Chen Muqing to say goodbye to Chen Zhen.
Chen Zhen did not follow the etiquette and obeyed Su Gong's words, but whispered to his daughter: "You must come back alive!"
Chen Muqing listened and tears immediately fell.
Mrs. Zeng hurriedly helped Chen Muqing wipe her tears.
Everyone in the room looked at each other sideways.
Chen Muqing knelt down and kowtowed respectfully to Chen Zhen: "Master, please take care of yourself. I will settle down there and will come back to visit you."
Chen Zhen nodded, gently touched Chen Muqing's head, and said to Mrs. Zeng: "Go!"
Mrs. Zeng bowed her knees and saluted Chen Zhen, and responded solemnly, "Yes".
She covered Chen Muqing with a veil and helped Chen Muqing walk out.
"Less than three years after I got married, the master went to Xuantong to fight against the Yuanmeng people." On the way, Mrs. Zeng suddenly said to Chen Muqing, "There are bad news coming from time to time. I was very scared at that time. I didn't know if the master could come back. But I thought that I still have a family of people to take care of, and my parents who have been thinking about whether I was married well. I gritted my teeth and survived for three years. The master finally came back. He also had a higher title... Grandma of the Shen family, you have to remember that there is still a father waiting for you to come back in Kyoto."
Is it to make her strong no matter what difficulties she encounters?
Chen Muqing felt a little moved.
"Thank you, Mrs. Zeng! I will remember what you said."
A smile appeared on Mrs. Zeng's dignified and solemn face.
*******
Xiao Sa is a person who is guilty and is indifferent. Although Xiao Lianwen is low-key, the Xiao family did not neglect because of this. Not only did they carry a full betrothal gift of thirty-six taels of silver, they also included a profitable opening ceremony of 666 taels of silver bills to the absent-something house.
Amid the sound of firecrackers, the sedan chair was lifted up and swayed towards Sijiao Hutong, not far from Songshu Hutong. In order to marry Chen Muqing, the Xiao family specially rented a three-entry yard in Sijiao Hutong.
After paying a visit, he entered the wedding room, stepped on cloth, sorghum and other items, and then sat on the wedding bed.
Red dates, peanuts, chestnuts and other things fell down, and Mrs. Zeng's auspicious words came from Chen Muqing's ears.
Chen Muqing couldn't help but feel nervous when he heard this.
The new house is very quiet, and Mrs. Zeng's voice is clearly audible... It is completely different from the noise and liveliness when she married into Liang's Mansion.
This marriage is urgent. Xiao Sa is in this situation, and there may be no guests!
Chen Muqing thought to himself, let go.
It's also good to spend a wedding night quietly...
Thinking of this, the corners of her mouth gently raised... At this moment, she felt someone approaching and the red veil was lifted up.
Chen Muqing was shocked.
There was a room full of people standing in the wedding room.
Except for the eldest wife and Mrs. Zeng, everyone else is very polite.
They are of different ages. The older ones are over the ages, while the younger ones are still childish in their faces, but they are all dressed in gorgeous clothes and solemn expressions, and they do not have the joy they should have at all when attending a wedding.
What's going on?
Chen Muqing thought, and was about to turn to see Xiao Sa, the eldest wife had already stepped forward to introduce the woman in the room to Chen Muqing.
"Mu Qing, this is your eldest sister-in-law Liao, this is your second sister-in-law Ma, this is your third sister-in-law Yi, this is your fourth sister-in-law Zhou, this is your fifth sister-in-law Duan, this is your sixth sister-in-law Wang, this is your eighth sister-in-law Xiao Wang, this is your ninth sister-in-law Liu, this is your tenth sister-in-law Wu, this is your eleventh sister-in-law Huang..."
Huang is the one with a childish look on his face...
The person pointed at by the eldest wife all came forward to salute Chen Muqing. Chen Muqing stood up to return the salute, while secretly surprised - Xiao Sa's cousin-in-law and cousin-sister seem to have come...
At this moment, a cheerful voice laughed and said, "Today, the bride is the biggest, and the seventh sister-in-law should sit down quickly."
Chen Mu looked in the sound, and a beautiful young woman in her early thirties was smiling at her.
Seeing Chen Muqing's eyes turned to him, the young woman stepped forward and said to her family: "I am Xiao Cheng's family, and the seventh sister-in-law called me Lu'e."
The eldest wife didn't introduce her to herself just now...
Thinking of this, Chen Muqing quickly glanced at the eldest lady.
The eldest lady caught Chen Muqing's look and immediately felt very happy.
The son has nothing to do with him and is not in her name, but this daughter-in-law is willing to respect her.
Thinking of this, the grievances and grievances of the past are suddenly not worth mentioning.
Why bother letting your sisters-in-law come in and letting your new wife laugh at her sisters-in-law?
The eldest lady smiled and nodded at Chen Muqing, saying, "Lu'e is the most enthusiastic person in our family. If you have any problems in the future, just ask her."
