When Chen Muqing heard this, he seemed to be a child who had forgotten his nature. He then threw this matter behind his mind, picked up the honey melon with his ginkgo teeth and ate it with a fork: "Madam, Mr. Min said, this melon grows in the north, and is it sold in Kyoto now? I haven't seen it in previous years."

"There is no place to sell it? It is rewarded in the palace." Li said with a smile, "It was said that the victory was won in the west. The Prince of Zhen'an brought it back. The Empress Dowager rewarded several close ministers around him."

Chen Muqing sighed in his heart.

The Yuan family is in a state of cooking oil with flowers. Even if my father is still full of favor, I am afraid I can only endure this matter...

The thought flashed by, and Chen Muqing continued to change Li's mind and said, "How many have you appreciated? You have to taste such rare things. There is Dashe, cousin, and Aunt Chen, I don't know if it's enough."

"Although you are the only one at home, you never eat alone." Li was very moved when he heard his daughter like this, and said with a smile, "I have sent you there long ago. I also gave her two magnolia flowers that were praised in the palace... That was the one from Zhifang to the palace."

"The last time I saw her, Huang's mother said that her cousin was copying the Tripitaka for her wife! Does the wife know about this?"

"Why don't you know?" Li said, "and said that he would embroider a picture of Guanyin for me! I saw that this child was well-behaved, and just asked Jie Hong to take two big red woven golden makeup pythons from Curry to give her to make a piece of clothing for her."

"Is it the persimmon-shaped makeup python that I admired in the palace last year?"

"Yeah!" Li responded, looking at Chen Muqing with a smile, pretending to be joking, "Don't worry, I have left you two, just for a jacket."

The two of them talked and laughed a few times. Seeing that it was getting dark, Aunt Chen came in to prepare a meal. After dinner, Chen Muqing accompanied Li to talk a few more gossips, and then went back to the room.

Everything is no different from the past.

But as soon as Chen Muqing entered the door of the fallen seat, he saw Chen Xiang standing in her yard looking forward to it. When he saw her coming back, he ran over.

Chen Muqing said with a clear mind, "Is the master back?"

Chenxiang nodded repeatedly: "The master is waiting for the girl in Jiusizhai!"

Chen Muqing didn't even call anyone at the station, so he turned around and went to Jiusizhai.

Unlike the last time, the lights in Jiusizhai were brightly lit, and General Manager Wang stood under the eaves with his hands hanging down, and there was not a single servant in the room.

Chen Zhen was wearing a big red yarn crane tunic dress, lying on the drunkard chair in the warm trunk, putting his right arm on his forehead, covering the upper half of his face, and couldn't see what his expression was.

When Chen Muqing walked in, he saw his black hat being thrown away in the middle of the room, circling around.

Hearing the movement, Chen Zhen did not move, but just asked quietly: "Is it Mu Qing?"

Chen Muqing looked at the ivory official sign shaking left and right with the Drunken Chair on his waist, and gently said "um", picked up his black hat, and stood quietly beside the Drunken Chair.

Do you say something? Or don't say it?

She hesitated like never before.

Experience from her previous life told her that the most harmonious way to get along with people is to keep a distance between them. But she is not really an unfamiliar child - she can stand out from so many competitors and enter the top 500 company, which is largely due to her talent for subtle interpersonal relationships.

At this moment, Chen Muqing looked dazed and restless.

A voice deep in her heart told her: You'd better not be too troublesome. Treat your current parents like your previous boss. Not only can you enjoy the guests and hosts, but you can also win the greatest benefits for you.

But another voice told her: They didn't know that the soul in this body was another person, and they always treated you as their daughter. Like all parents in the world, they built a comfortable nest for you that cannot be blown by the wind or rain. In this moment when the Shen family can be called internal and external troubles, how can you be so selfish, just thinking about your own feelings and calculating your own interests...

The two voices were intertwined in her ears, making it impossible for her to hide herself calmly as usual, and her impetuous and messy mood slowly leaked into the surrounding air.

Chen Zhen, who also has high emotional intelligence, quickly felt his daughter's uneasiness.

He sighed softly and sat up.

Under the bright light, Chen Zhen's temples are as white as frost, and the wrinkles on his face are as crisscrossing as gullies.

In the flash of lightning, Chen Muqing suddenly realized: this father, like her father in her previous life, is old! He will slowly withdraw from the stage of history as the long river of time and give way to the young people...

This thought was like a big hammer, shattering Chen Muqing's hesitation.

She felt sour in her heart, she squatted gently beside the Drunken Chair, and leaned her face on Chen Zhen's knees.

"Master, you and Mr. Min were talking in this Jiusizhai that day, and I was sitting on this drunkard chair."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Muqing obviously felt Chen Zhen's body stiffen.

If she is smart, she shouldn't use this sentence as the opening remark. But Chen Muqing is tired of wearing a mask in order to hide her past, always wearing a mask, carefully, step by step, and living in this world alone... She wants to treat herself as Chen Zhen's daughter, a real daughter - don't have to hide herself, cry when she wants to cry, cry when she wants to laugh, and treat this as the port of her soul, her home!

"I know, the master is a person who does big things." She didn't hesitate at all, her voice was low, so she seemed very serious. "The most important thing now is the wife's body, and everything else is easy to say."

"Mu Qing..." Chen Zhen's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief.

Chen Muqing looked at him with a clear look: "I went to Yaowang Temple to know what kind of disease my wife was suffering from... Isn't there a lot of days?"

Chen Zhen looked at his honest and calm daughter in front of him and felt extremely strange.

It seemed like yesterday, no, just now, she was still acting coquettish on her knees, but in a blink of an eye, she was like an adult, discussing her mother's condition with herself... Is he not knowing about his daughter, or his daughter suddenly grew up... He didn't know, and was also confused. But this helplessness only made him lose his self-control for a short time, and soon, he calmed down: "Who did you hear nonsense there... Your mother is just in poor health, just take care of her slowly."

"Sometimes we are kind-hearted and tell lies with kindness. But sometimes, it is precisely this kind of lies with kindness that make things uncontrollable." Chen Muqing's gentle voice seemed so erratic on this quiet night. "I am twelve years old today. I have read a lot of books with Mr. Min, and I have seen a lot of things around my wife... Master, even tiger cubs have to put them in the forest to practice their skills, let alone people." As she said that, tears flashed in her eyes, "You are over the age of knowing destiny this year..."

"Mu Qing..." Chen Zhen's voice was heavy and stagnant, with pain like a trapped beast, "You, you... don't think about it... Madam will not be a problem... You are so sensible, she will not be a problem..."

Chen Zhen didn't want her to know about Li's condition, or was he lying to himself...

Chen Muqing sighed helplessly and expressed his opinion: "Mrs. In the inner courtyard, as long as we seal our mouths tightly, she will not know what happened."

She gradually became calm, calm and confident when she heard her voice. It was like going back many years ago. She stood on the top of the skyscraper and was stating her views to the company's directors... as if she had traveled through time and space, connecting the future and the present. "As for the Zhen'an Palace... people in Kyoto are probably talking about this matter now. Even if we want to give in, some forms will still have to leave. At least, we have to pay back the debt and kill people to pay our lives. Otherwise, our Shen family will become a laughing stock. Whoever wants to pinch it in the future can pinch it."

Chen Zhen slowly let go of Chen Muqing and looked at her in shock.

Chen Muqing looked confident, without a trace of avoidance: "What is the real fact, it doesn't matter, what is important is the fact in the eyes of others."

Chen Zhen's expression on his face was complicated, as if he was angry, as if he was happy and surprised, and sighed: "You, you have grown up."

Chen Muqing smiled slightly.

After seven years under the wings of Shen Zhen and Li, it was time for her to stand up. Although she was not able to help anything, it would not be a burden to them.

Chen Zhen sighed: "Bieshan, you are right, Mu Qing is more sensible than we imagined..."

Chen Muqing was stunned and turned his head and saw Mr. Min standing quietly in the middle of the main hall in a stone-green dress.

When did he come? Why didn’t he hear any movement?

Mr. Min walked over with a smile on his lips: "It's really a tiger father without a dog."

Chen Muqing hurriedly smiled and stepped forward and bent his knees to salute Mr. Min.

Chen Zhen invited Mr. Min to sit next to the table.

At this time, Mr. Min came. Although it was not necessarily related to the affairs of the Yaowang Temple, there must be important matters to discuss.

Chen Muqing is about to leave.

Chen Zhen said, "You sit down too. Let's talk to Mr. Min about the matter about the Yaowang Temple later."

Chen Muqing responded respectfully, called Chenxiang to tea, and stood behind Shen Zhen with his hands down.

The tea was brought up quickly. When Chen Muqing personally served tea to Chen Zhen and Mr. Min, Chen Zhen ordered Chen Xiang to bring General Manager Wang in. When the tea was served, General Manager Wang also walked in respectfully.

He bowed to Chen Zhen and Mr. Min respectively, and Chen Zhen asked straight to the point of asking about the Yaowang Temple.

Manager Wang told the story of the affairs of the Medicine King Temple and the Ye Su family’s family’s news.

Chen Zhen and Mr. Min's eyes fell on Chen Muqing.

"How did you tell your wife?"

Chen Zhen's face was very heavy. Seeing Chen Muqing's heart pounding, he said something uneasy to Chen Zhen to listen to.

Chen Zhen listened, thought for a moment, and said with a calm expression: "Mr. Wang, this matter is to be kept from the little ones according to the girl's wishes. You can go to the Weiyuan Escort Agency for a few more trips. Chang and Sun's two family send 200 taels of silver. According to the expenses of the decoction and medicine, I will provide you with the rest in private. For the old escort Wang, you should speak tactfully and make him feel at ease. Our Shen family will give him an explanation. Ye Su, back up the gifts. Don't ask about the Yuan family's affairs."

Manager Wang hurriedly bowed and replied "yes".

"It's getting late, so you can rest too!" Chen Zhen said, "Just just keep your wife calm."

Chen Muqing thought of his promise to Pang Debao and said, "Master, Ye Su, there is something else to report to you."

Both Chen Zhen and Mr. Min were stunned.

"I didn't say it because I was afraid of the big trouble and implicated people." Chen Muqing said, "That day I ran out of the temple and happened to meet a young man. He saw that I was not good and asked me what happened. I saw the housekeeper beside him saying a Shanxi-accented official language, not like a local, and he was not ready to tell him. But he said he was a relative of Lord Ye, who could help me. I don't know who Lord Ye was, but when he saw that he was enthusiastic, he asked him to bring a letter to Lord Ye. Unexpectedly, it was a relative of Ye Su, the minister of the Ministry of Revenue." In ancient times, people were concerned about giving kindness but not repaying it. If Chen Zhen knew about Pang Debao's behavior, it would be better not to let Xiao Sa off his anger. Chen Muqing tried his best to make things happen so as not to Xiao Sa would leave a bad impression in front of Shen Zhen. "I heard from the tone of the manager. The young man was studying in the Imperial College. He helped him with chivalrously and gave him courtesy, which would insult his gentleness. I thought, it would be better for the master to ask for his name and write a letter to the Imperial College's priest. He helped him in his studies in his studies, which would be better than anything else!"
