Li returned to Changchun Institute, and her mother was standing on the stage with a strange-looking man.
Seeing Shen Muqing return, Li's mother hurriedly smiled and came up to kneel down and pay her respects to Shen Muqing. She also called out to the little girl, "This is our Third Young Mistress, Cuiying, quickly pay your respects."
The little girl immediately gave Shen Mu a gentle blessing.
It was said that she was a cicada shell, Shen Mu Qing couldn't help but carefully examine her for several moments.
Bright eyes and white teeth, not a bit inferior to that black gold. Indeed, it is the spring orchid and autumn chrysanthemum, each with its own charm, all of them are beautiful women with outstanding looks.
She nodded slightly and ordered Yingfen to reward him before turning around and entering the house.
Liang Youhui and Feng Wanqing were sitting on the windowsill talking.
"Third sister, where did you go just now?" Liang Youhui smiled as soon as she saw her and said, "We've been waiting for you for a while."
Shen Muqing returned to Die Cuiyuan and told Jing Bi that Feng Wanqing had come to see Liang Youhui, and Liang Youhui asked her to stay at Die Cuiyuan, but she refused, saying that she still had two maids with her and was afraid there wouldn't be enough room, insisting on going to Xin Xiu Garden instead. Liang Youhui couldn't persuade her otherwise, so they went together to see the Old Madame. Now Feng Wanqing is sitting on the kang in her room - surely she doesn't think she's going to stay here?
Then, Feng Wanqing got down from the kang and respectfully bowed to her, calling out "Third Aunt".
Shen Muqing returned the courtesy to Feng Wanqing. Da Fei said, "I heard my mother say that Fifth Aunt is going to stay here for a few days. Luomei can help you guys put away the bedding..."
Feng Wanqing listened and smiled obediently: "Many thanks to Sister-in-law for your concern. We have already informed the Old Madam, and she has instructed me to stay in the Xiu Yi Yuan."
Liang Youhui listened and her mouth slightly opened but then stopped speaking.
I'm afraid it's not the Old Mistress who ordered you to move into the new embroidered courtyard, but rather you asked for it yourself.
Shen Mu Qing thought for a moment, then said, "Since that's the case, we as younger generations can't disobey. Fifth sister, what else is lacking? I'll also ask the maids to send it over. It's been several months since Yu Hui hasn't lived there. That place probably needs a good cleaning."
Liang Youhui nodded: "Wu Jin led the rough servant girl to Xiu Yi Yuan. The room was full of dust. Let's take a break at San Shu's place."
Although she doesn't live there, she sends someone every day to clean. The dust is all over the house, it's a bit exaggerated.
"That's good"
Feng Wanqing then thanked Shen Muqing and congratulated him on Liang Jimin's success in becoming a jinshi.
Shen Muqing smiled and accompanied Feng Wanqing and Liang Youhui for a while, then the little maid came to say that the new embroidery courtyard had been cleaned up. Shen Muqing accompanied Feng Wanqing and Liang Youhui to the new bamboo courtyard, where they chatted for a while. Liang Youhui wanted to stay and accompany her fifth sister, so Shen Muqing instructed Liang Youhui with a few words such as "be careful not to catch a cold at night" before returning to the layered emerald courtyard.
Li's mother had already been waiting in the house.
Shen Mu Qing called her over to talk in private.
Xiang Lian was standing by the door curtain in the main room at that time. At first, the voices of the young lady and the madam were soft and she didn't hear clearly. Li Mama reported to Shen Muqing very responsibly, "Later, when the madam got angry, she vaguely heard two sentences. One sentence was said by the madam: Fifth Young Lady, who said this? The second sentence was replied by the Fifth Young Lady, her voice was very soft and only vaguely heard mentioning the princess several times."
Shen Mu Qing was taken aback for a moment.
It turned out that Feng Wanqing's news was actually learned from Fuhua's mouth.
It seems that Wan Qing and Gong Zhu's relationship is quite good... Moreover, the rumors about Liang Ji Min are probably already well-known to everyone.
She suddenly remembered the strange attitude of Princess Fuhua on her wedding day.
Or, this also indirectly suggests that there is something not simple between Liang Jieming and Feng Wanqing... To take a step back, the most taboo thing between them is "private favoritism", even if they haven't reached that point, at least there has been some ambiguous feelings between them.
Shen Mu Qing stared blankly at the strip of light on the roof.
Mrs. Li didn't dare disturb her, and quietly slipped out, but she quickly came back: "Third Young Mistress, has Zi Juan from the side of the Old Madam come?"
Shen Mu furrowed his brow slightly.
Could it be because of this matter... Madam has found out so quickly... It seems I was too careless...
Shen Mu Qing thought for a moment, then went to the main hall of the Zheng house.
Zi Juan originally led Wang's mother to pay her respects.
"It's said to be from Guangxi, rushed over by fast horse and whip, a reward from the palace, only got these ten." Wang Mama explained, pointing at the purple silk handkerchief in her hands holding a tray of bright yellow mangoes, "Madam asked me to bring them over for the old lady, madam and various young ladies of the house to try."
Shen Mu Qing looked at Wang Mama with a smile in her eyes, and had a few clear thoughts in her mind. She let Ying Fen take Zi Juan to release the mangoes, then nodded slightly towards Wang Mama: "But there's good news from Eldest Sister's place."
"Ah yo", Wang's mother chuckled in a low voice, "The young lady is getting more and more like the madam, I don't even need to open my mouth, I already know what she wants to say."
Yuan had just been guessing, but now that he had confirmation, Shen Muqing let out a long sigh of relief, and his mood also lightened up a lot.
She couldn't be bothered with Wang's mother's flattery and smiled: "Tell me, what's going on?"
Wang's mother whispered in Shen Muqing's ear: "The person was sent smoothly to Taicang Wharf, and the steward of the second master received him."
Shen Muqing furrowed his brow: "Didn't that guy with the surname Ren come to pick him up?"
"Look what Grandma said, which daughter-in-law has never been received at the door?"
Rectangle
But he dared to find his uncle who lived at the foot of Tianzi and served as the chief assistant minister.
She had a faint sense of unease in her heart and was just about to examine it carefully when Zi Juan and Ying Fen returned.
Since he had already returned to Tai Cang, even if something happened, it would have nothing to do with his wife... Shen Muqing thought, and temporarily suppressed this worry in the back of his mind. He smiled and let Zhu Di give a reward to Wang Mama, and let Luo Mei send Wang Mama and Zi Juan to bid farewell to Tai Furen.
Finally, there was something that went smoothly, and Shen Muqing couldn't help but let out a deep sigh.
******
Liang Jimin returned home drunk that day.
Shen Mu Qingpai went to leave a message for Chun: "The young lady said that the third young master has woken up, and sister wants to pass on a message. Just say that the fifth daughter of the Feng manor has arrived, and ask the third young master to make time to see her too."
Chun Shu hastily replied.
The next morning, Ji Min appeared unusually refreshed at Leizhaiyuan.
Only Shen Liangqing was eating breakfast on the kang, he wondered: "It's said that Wu Biaojie has arrived, she is not a person who sleeps in late, why can't I see her?"
Shen Qing smiled faintly and said, "Wu Mei lives in Xin Zhu Yuan, Yu Hui is accompanying her there." As he spoke, he loudly called out to Liu Mei to help Liang Ji Min serve the meal.
Liang Jimin was taken aback and didn't say anything. Quietly, she sat down and started eating her breakfast.
"Over the next few days, why not put off your external engagements and stay at home? Firstly, you can accompany our guest, and secondly, you can calm down and focus on reading. After all, the imperial examination for the juren is just around the corner..."
Liang Jimin's body stiffened for a moment, and it wasn't until after a while that she picked up a spoonful of porridge to her mouth and softly replied with an "en".
Shen Muqing didn't know whether he was asked to accompany the guests and replied "good" or asked to read books and replied "good"... He also didn't bother to go.
After dinner, the two went to pay their respects to Mrs. Tao, and Feng Wanqing and Liang Youhui had already taken a step ahead to arrive and were standing under the eaves of the house waiting.
From afar, Shen Muqing saw Liang Youhui yawning over there.
Seeing Shen Muqing and Liang Jimin, she smiled and ran over: "Third Brother, Third Sister-in-law, you've finally arrived... we've been waiting for half an hour"
Li Qiming's gaze passed through Li Youhui and fell on Feng Wanqing, who was walking towards them with a smile.
"Why don't you sleep more? What's the point of getting up so early?" His voice was soft and warm, like the spring morning breeze.
"Hey, Auntie, you're not usually up this early..." Liang Youhui smiled and Feng Wancheng had already walked over to Shen Muqing, who was kneeling down to pay her respects: "Third Aunt".
Shen Mu Qing smiled and returned the courtesy.
For a moment, the atmosphere became somewhat eerie.
Liáng Yòu Huì looked around at this and that, like a child, very bewildered.
Shen Muqing suddenly felt that he and Liang Jimin were like a couple in the midst of a cold war, while Liang Youhui was like their child. Although nothing was said, children always seem to sense the subtle atmosphere between parents, whether it's sweet or indifferent.
Fortunately, the waiting time was not long, and Wang Wenxiang came with three children.
It's probably because of spring, and the three children, like Liang Youhui, would occasionally let out a small yawn.
A group of people laughed and greeted each other, and Madame Tai also put away her things.
The fish swam in, and Mrs. Ta's quiet house immediately became lively.
First, Wang Wenxiang replaced Liang Bozhong to pay respects to the elderly lady, then it was Liang Jimin, Wang Wenxiang, Shen Muqing, Liang Youhui and Feng Danqing. When it was the turn of the three children to pay their respects to the elderly lady, joyful expressions flowed from her eyes onto her face.
She held the youngest Kang Ge in her arms and talked about Ping Ge and An Ge going to a private school to study.
Two children answered the questions of Tai Furen one after another, and it could be seen that they were very fond of the atmosphere there.
Madam listened and nodded in agreement, praising Liang Jimumin: "It's still your idea that people want to live well in this world, they have to get along with others, especially for people like us, unity is strength."
Everyone respectfully replied "yes", and then Liang Shu came.
Madam Tai slightly frowned, but after Liang Shu Xin greeted her, for some reason, Madam Tai's demeanor changed and she warmly asked Liang Shu Xin what he had been up to lately.
Liáng Shūxìn's eyes flashed with surprise, and it was clear that he also found the attitude of Tài Fūrén to be quite strange.
What made Shen Muqing feel even more strange was Liang Shu's answer.
Logically speaking, being able to get the favor of the usually cold Madam, even as a junior, should have given a detailed answer to Madam's question. However, Liang Shu Xin's response was very vague. Shen Mu Qing thought for half a day before finally understanding that Liang Shu Xin had partnered with someone outside to open a wine tower.
Opening a wine shop isn't a bad thing, anyway. Nowadays, which official's family doesn't do some business on the side to make ends meet... Wang Wenxuan even opened a Chinese medicine shop. Listening to Liu Niang's tone, it seemed like she still had some dignity, so why did her attitude completely change when it came to Liang Shuxin?
Shen Mu Qing was muttering to herself in her heart.
