Chapter 88 Concubine Sister Concubine Sister
The mother and daughter drank a bowl of red dates and glutinous rice porridge and ate a few pieces of egg yolk lotus paste. Chen Dan Xia Ni was beside Tao and didn't go back to the room. Anyway, there were her clothes here. Tao hugged her caring daughter and her eyes were firm. So what if Chen Muke returned to Beijing? She is no longer the same as she dreams. She will protect her children well and will never repeat the same mistakes.
After a short rest, the mother and daughter changed their clothes and went to Xuanziyuan to pay their respects to Chen's mother. However, Tao changed his mind and did not tell Chen's mother that Chen Muke was about to return to Beijing. After serving Chen's mother for dinner, Tao, who had recovered his mind, took Chen Danxia back to the third room with Chen Danxia.
Two days later, the letter Chen Muke wrote to Chen's mother was delivered to the Shen family. Chen Muke was extremely happy. She had originally loved her third son Chen Muke. Chen Muke was released as an official, but she was suffering. Now that her youngest son is going back to Beijing and has been promoted, what a great joy!
Chen's mother was a little pleased with Tao's eyes. She held Chen Danxia with her left hand and grabbed Chen Dannian with her right hand, letting the two sit beside her, full of love. Recently, because of a good marriage, Chen Danyao, who was sitting beside her, sat on the round pier.
"I knew the third brother would not disappoint me." Chen's mother hoped that Chen Muke would rise again. According to the Dafeng Law, a fourth-rank official could be granted the title of her parents. Old Master Shen was alive, and as a legitimate wife, she naturally had the first-rank wife. However, after Old Master Shen died, she wanted her husband to die and follow her son's grade. The three sons were not enough to ask her for title, so that she could not receive the salary given to the court to the women's family. This was one of the reasons why she was unwilling to go out.
Tao pursed her lips and said nothing against her will. She didn't want to say what Chen Muke did in Tanzhou? Why was he promoted so quickly? Hua couldn't even write the letter, and it was really annoying. Lin and Zhou looked at her with enviousness and jealousy. Now her three sisters-in-law have the highest rank, and she is a fifth-rank pleasant one.
Because Chen Muke was still on the way back to Beijing, Chen's mother wanted to set up a few more tables to celebrate. The main owner was not here and was too rude. She would give up for the time being and leave it to Chen Muke after he returned to Beijing before making plans.
Chen Muke and his group who returned to Beijing from Tanzhou were still missing. They returned to Beijing from Lu Tai from Bao Qin and others arrived at Jindu City before April 27. They were just concubines, so they dared not expect the mansion to send people to pick them up at the city gate and send messages back to the mansion according to the rules.
Tao received a message and asked his servants to clean the yard and congratulate him on taking four servants to the city gate to pick up people. Shen Shisan Shisan Chen Danxia came back from Xie's mansion and met Bao Qin and Rao who had just washed and put on clean dresses.
"I have seen Miss Ninth, so I wish you a blessing to Miss Ninth." Baoqin and Rao saluted.
Chen Danxia received half of their gift, and he was blessed with a blessing, "Sister Seven."
"Sister Nine." Chen Dan replied with a respectful voice.
Chen Dan quickly bowed and asked, "Sister Jiu, where did this come from?"
"I just returned from the Xie Mansion's boudoir school." Chen Danxia told me truthfully, there was nothing to hide.
Under the leadership of Shen Danxia, the few people entered the east room of the Sanfang Courtyard to see Tao. After everyone saluted, Tao called Shen Danxia to sit down and said, "All right, get up, follow me to pay homage to the old lady later."
"Madam, the concubine is a low-ranking concubine. She was afraid of tainting the old lady's eyes in the past." Baoqin was a maid next to Chen's mother. The day after Tao returned to the door, Chen's mother pointed it at Chen Muke. Her intention was very clear, but Baoqin was a smart person who was lip service. Later, after giving birth to a daughter, she fell out of favor and became Chen's mother's abandoned son. She turned to Tao and was not willing to meet her old master.
Tao knew what she was afraid of, so he looked at her and said directly: "The old lady is happy and has no time to find someone bad luck. I will tell you a happy event so that you can also be happy. Our master is promoted to the Ministry of Personnel and will return to Beijing soon."
Baoqin's expression has not changed. Chen Muke's promotion has no effect on her. She still has to beg for food under the Tao. All she has to do is to serve Tao well. In the future, Tao can choose a good family for Chen Dan for her honesty.
Rao's eyes shone, "The master has been promoted! How many ranks have he been promoted? When will he return to Beijing? This is really great! The Bodhisattva blesses and the Buddha blesses, it will be worth my three incense sticks in the morning, afternoon and evening."
Chen Danxun looked at his disobedient biological mother, frowned tightly, and called out in a low voice: "Auntie, Auntie."
Tao looked at Rao coldly and let her worship the sky and the earth.
Rao was excited for a long time, and came to his senses, knelt on the ground and said, "Madam, I am rude, I beg you to forgive me." Chen Danxun also looked at Tao nervously, but did not say anything to plead for his biological mother.
"Forget it, I'm just making you happy, but you don't be so crazy and frivolous outside." Dow did not seriously care about her.
"I dare not." Rao kowtowed.
Tao was not a mean person, and he also asked his servants to prepare fresh shrimp and wonton noodles for the two concubines. "The Tenth Girl hasn't eaten with the old lady yet, so the Qi Yat Girl knows that the old lady's dishes are sweet and glutinous, so I'm afraid it's not up to your taste. If you have been hungry for too long, it's not good for your health, so eat something to cushion first."
"Thank you, mother." Chen Danhui was taught to be well-behaved and quiet by Baoqin, not good at speaking, and was dry and authentic.
"It's my mother's consideration. Mother is so good. Xun'er thanks mother." Chen Danxun said eloquently.
Tao's eyes stayed on her for a moment, then turned away, and said lightly: "Let's eat noodles."
