Chapter One Hundred and Ninety Nine: Hou Mansion Invitation

Chang Sui said guiltily: "It's... Lord Shen."

Chen Yuntang was afraid that Chang Sui was too guilty of doing something stupid, "Since you can't find it, just tell your young master truthfully. I will give you another cloak to your young master another day."

Chang Sui obviously didn't expect Chen Yuntang to be so easy to talk to, so he quickly knelt down for Chen Yuntang thankfully.

Chen Yuntang waved at Chang Sui and asked him to return to Mu Xiuji's place quickly and take Changshou to the second door of the yamen office to take the carriage.

Changshou followed the master a little resentful. He said unhappily: "Marquis, the cloak you just gave was lost by them. Then Chang Sui still has the nerve to say in front of you! Do you really treat our Marquis' Mansion as a sucker!"

Chen Yuntang glared at him, "Okay, let's not talk about this. Lord Mu has been kind to me. Two cloaks are nothing. Besides, the loss of this cloak has nothing to do with Chang Sui." If she guessed that, the thrown cloak might be in the hands of the King of Hell now, hum!

Chen Yuntang said a few words, but Changshou didn't care about it.

Time flies very quickly, and the New Year is still half a month away.

Officials start holidays on the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, and they must be held until the Lantern Festival next year. This is probably the most leisurely time for the Yan Yan to go from top to bottom.

There are still six or seven days left before the holiday, and everyone is looking forward to it.

Chen Yuntang has been in the government office these days and can clearly feel the difference in the atmosphere. Everyone is ready to go with the upcoming holiday, and they don’t even care about official duties before.

Chen Yuntang has been in a good mood these days. Now that the Chinese New Year is approaching, the Regent has not come to cause trouble for her, so she naturally feels even more comfortable.

The glass greenhouse in Beizhuang has been more mature. In the past month, not only many green leafy vegetables have matured, but also some of the long growth cycles are almost the same, such as cucumbers, cowpeas, lettuce, eggplant, etc.

Originally, only three glass greenhouses were piloted. Since the last time the small greenhouse was successful, Chen Yuntang added five or six more. Now, half of the vegetables in the greenhouse can be picked.

This amount is seven or eight times that of the Regent Hot Springs Village. Although it is far from being popularized in Yanjing, it is enough to sell it to a certain royal noble in limited quantities.

Now that the Chinese New Year is approaching, all the prefectures will definitely want to spend some money to prepare some special food for the prefecture. It just so happens that the fresh vegetables in winter are the most precious, and they just like these high-ranking officials and rich businessmen.

Chen Yuntang went to the Marquis' Mansion in the past two days and went to the villa in the suburbs to take a look. The vegetables were growing well and were no worse than those of the Regent's Hot Spring Village. Moreover, there were no chemicals in the soil near the Hot Spring Village. The vegetables he cultivated in the glass greenhouse were healthier and harmless.

Chen Yuntang thought while walking outside Mu Xiuji's room and knocked on the door.

After Mu Xiuji's Chang Sui helped open the door, Mu Xiuji looked up and saw that it was her, and immediately stood up to greet him.

"Yuntang, why are you here?" After all, it's the end of the year. Although everyone is a little absent-minded, there are not many official duties, and there are more than usual. Some official documents need to be stored in the warehouse in different categories, and some one-year coordination, plans for the coming year, etc. Therefore, when working in the government office on weekdays, fewer officials visit each other.

Look, Mu Xiuji hadn't seen Chen Yuntang for several days, and suddenly saw her, he was both surprised and happy.

Chen Yuntang raised the invitation in his hand at the door and smiled and said, "Brother Mu, I'll come to send you an invitation in person."

Mu Xiuji hurriedly invited her in.

Although the rooms where the officials of the Censorate used to work were not big, there were still places where one or two people were invited to have tea.

Mu Xiuji personally poured tea for her. The fatigue caused by the high-intensity office these two days seemed to disappear cleanly when he saw Chen Yuntang. The corners of his mouth couldn't help but raise, "What invitation is, I want you to come and deliver it in person."

Chen Yuntang took the teacup handed over by Mu Xiuji and drank two sips of tea: "Grandfather's condition has improved a lot. A few days ago, relatives and friends came to the mansion to visit his grandfather one after another. Now it's almost the Chinese New Year. The mansion has finally had a little idleness, so I want to invite everyone to the mansion to have a simple meal, so that the Marquis' mansion can thank his relatives and friends for their wishes."

Chen Yuntang's voice seemed to be no longer hoarse than before, and it sounded smoother and clearer. Compared with the past, Chen Yuntang's voice is more feminine now.

While Mu Xiuji listened carefully to Chen Yuntang's voice, he was in a good mood and couldn't help but worry about her.

She might not be able to sense it herself, but after getting along these days, he felt that the female characteristics of her were becoming more and more obvious.

If this continues, sooner or later, she will be discovered to be true identity one day.

Now in winter, all the clothes are thick, so no one cares too much about any changes, but what about summer?

After Chen Yuntang finished speaking, he found Mu Xiuji in a daze and asked strangely: "Brother Mu, what's wrong with you? Do you have any worries?"

Mu Xiuji was brought back to his senses by her words and shook his head quickly, "It's okay, maybe it's because these days at the end of the year are too busy and a little absent-minded all of a sudden."

Chen Yuntang looked him up and down. Mu Xiuji was twenty years old this year and the same age as Jiang Zhenchuan. Although many of the men in the families of officials and nobles of the Great Yan Dynasty got married in the twenties, there were few like Jiang Zhenchuan and Mu Xiuji who had not even decided on marriage.

Chen Yuntang also heard about the rumors that the Mu Mansion has been circulating these days.

She joked: "Is Brother Mu worried about the candidate for his future wife? I heard that the two cousins ​​in the mansion are smart and Brother Mu doesn't like it?"

Mu Xiuji never expected Chen Yuntang to say such a thing.

He was stunned for two seconds at first, and after he came back to his senses, a sourness suddenly surged in his heart.

Chen Yuntang obviously felt that his emotions were a little cold. I wonder if it was her illusion, but she seemed to have seen a little bit of soreness and anger in Mu Xiuji's eyes.

"It depends on fate! I have no chance with both cousins. In a few days, I will tell my parents and ask them to find a good son-in-law for their two cousins ​​in Beijing."

Chen Yuntang is very sensitive to other people's emotional changes. She clearly feels that Mu Xiuji is unwilling to talk to her about this topic.

"Brother Mu's words are reasonable, but feelings are still about your love and my wish."

"Yuntang came here to deliver the invitation today, not just to invite me to the house for a banquet, right?" Mu Xiuji immediately changed the subject.

Since Mu Xiuji handed over a step, Chen Yuntang also walked down.

She smiled, her skin was fair and tender, her mouth, eyebrows and eyes were curved, like the warm sunshine, which made people reluctant to look away after seeing it.
