The three notes submitted to the Empress Dowager were very beneficial to the consolidation of imperial power, so they were strongly supported by the Empress Dowager, so that these three notes were finally allowed to be played.

can be pampered and humiliated, and there is no intention to stay, which is also the way for scholars to live in peace.

Therefore, when I met the Empress Dowager, I intended to resign from the post of Zhongcheng in the Imperial History, intending to concentrate on being the little emperor's concubine, but the Empress Dowager did not agree but said that she was relieved, saying that she intended to select talents among the students of the same age in the country to send them to the palace to become the little emperor's companion, and also issued a decree to let me work with the master of the Hanlin Academy to jointly select a companion for the little emperor.

Since it was the Empress Dowager who gave it, how dare I disrespect it, and after receiving the will, I hurried back to the Imperial History Terrace, and after dealing with today's business, I went to the Hanlin Academy to discuss related matters, and then went out of the imperial city and returned to the princess's mansion.

When I got home, I didn't find Wan'er, and after asking the Ziyu girl, I found out that Wan'er went to Chen Yuanwai's mansion to find Chen Xiaoyu again.

Wan'er has been in contact with the Chen family so frequently these days, but has something happened to the Chen family?

Originally, I wanted to ask Ziyu, but Wan'er didn't take the initiative to inform me about it, maybe she also had her own concerns and considerations, since this is the case, then I chose to believe Wan'er.

I went back to the room and changed into a plain round-necked robe, tied it with a strap, put on a soft-footed head, and changed out of official boots, and pretended to be an ordinary rich son, just because I had said two days ago that I would invite several other horses to drink, and now I am going to the appointment.

Before leaving, Ziyu handed me the prepared money bag, and felt the weight of the money bag, and I still felt a little emotionally about the generosity and virtue of my daughter-in-law, and I was moved to a mess.

When I came back that day, I only mentioned to Wan'er that I wanted to invite the other horses to drink, and she took it all to heart, and took all the qiē for me, and then she didn't ask anything, but told me not to get drunk, and to go home early.

If you have a wife like this, what more can a husband ask for!

Ziyu was also worried that I would get drunk on a whim, so she couldn't help but say a few words, saying:

"Master Pony has to remember the way home!"

I laughed a few times and said:

"Don't worry, Ziyu girl, I promised the princess that she wouldn't get drunk, and when the princess comes back, you will tell her for me, and I will come back early tonight, so that she can rest assured." ”

"Yes, Master Pony!"

Ziyu nodded yes with satisfaction and sent me out of the princess's mansion, while Ah Zheng was already waiting at the door with a white horse.

got on the horse, took the rope from Ah Zheng's hand, and said a few words to Ah Zheng, saying:

"Ah Zheng, you take care of Fuzhong as soon as you take care of it, don't worry, I'll go early and return early." ”

"Yes, Childe, please be careful!"

I nodded, and though I raised my whip, I galloped to the place where I had agreed and joined the horses.

......

After a long time of incense, I arrived at the pavilion where I had agreed, and the horses sat boredly in the pavilion, as if they had been waiting for a long time.

When Liu Ji saw my figure, he breathed a sigh of relief and said busily:

"It's coming, it's coming!"

With an apologetic face, I dismounted, tied the horses to a willow pole with theirs, trotted into the gazebo, bowed to them, pleaded guilty, and said:

"I'm sorry for keeping you waiting, have you figured out where to drink?

The second concubine Ma Muyan pulled out his ridiculous tone again, and said slowly:

"You're a busy man, how can you be as idle as we are?"

I hurriedly accompanied the smiling face and said:

"Hey, don't mind, won't I be able to punish myself with three cups later?"

Hearing me say this, Mu Yan noticed something wrong, and only said that I was drinking wine again, and resolutely disagreed, saying:

"Cunning, good wine is cheap for you, so what are we going to drink?"

Hearing this, I immediately cried and laughed, thinking that the second colt must still be minding the matter of that night's feast.

"Okay, okay, then have you decided where to drink? ”

I hurried to say this in an attempt to distract them.

The third horse Ji Sui leaned against the stone pillar in a dashing manner, shrugged his shoulders indifferently, and said:

"I don't care, it's up to the host. ”

After speaking, he patted the wine gourd on his waist, and glanced at us with an angry expression, anyway, he has wine to drink wherever he goes, so it doesn't matter what happens!

Hearing this, the corners of my mouth twitched uncontrollably for a moment, Mu Yan snorted coldly, and Liu Ji could only laugh bitterly.

"I wanted to take you to the restaurants we often go to to drink, but it's strange to say, we haven't been there for a few days, and those restaurants have all closed down?!

Mu Yan couldn't help but complain, and explained the main reason why he was in a bad mood today.

I was also slightly stunned when I heard this, after all, I haven't been to a restaurant for a while, so is it possible that the Shangdao market has been a little unpeaceful recently?

"Doesn't it mean that shopping malls are like battlefields? If a businessman can't operate a doorway, it is reasonable for a store to close down, and it is enough to drink in a different place, so there is no need to worry so much. ”

Although I was so relieved, I couldn't help but muttered a little in my heart, whether this matter had anything to do with the Chen family.

"That being said, I recently heard that the Chen Chamber of Commerce has a high reputation recently, and in this capital, it holds the bull's ears of the major chambers of commerce, and for other businesses, it will be suppressed in many ways if it is not followed, and the momentum is so strong that it cannot be lived!"

Mu Yan said, with a look of disdain on his face.

Listening to Mu Yan's tone, it seemed to be saying that many shops in the capital have been closed down recently, and they are inseparable from the Chen family.

"Chen's Chamber of Commerce is indeed in the Beijing Chamber of Commerce, and this Chen member has a way of doing business, integrity-based, and is also willing to give, and is more reputable in the Chamber of Commerce, so the presidents of the major chambers of commerce are looking forward to their horses and are quite respectful. Is there any misunderstanding or hidden meaning about these rumors?"

I put forward my own opinions appropriately, and I always feel that many stores in the capital have been closed, and there is a long time to spread without losing time, which is really interesting.

It seems that the Chen family is really in trouble!

When Mu Yan heard this, he couldn't help muttering:

"You seem to know a lot about this Chen family?"

I smiled and shook my head, and said:

"I don't know much, but it's just hearsay. ”

Mu Yan also felt that this was the case, and he didn't doubt what I said, but pouted and said:

"Whether it's true or not, I don't have a good impression of this Chen family anyway. ”

"That's right, businessmen and the like, what a way!"

Liu Ji couldn't help but express his opinion.

Mu Yan nodded appreciatively, while Ji Sui and I just smiled and didn't say anything.

It is said that this Shinong industry and commerce, the word Shang is ranked last, it can be seen that the social status of the merchant has not been high, and it is the object that many scholars look down on.

It is evident from this that the scholars looked down on the merchants.

"Since you are so interested in this Chen family, then I will provide you with a piece of news, today, the presidents of the major chambers of commerce in the capital will gather in the Xianhe Tower to participate in the three-year election of the head of the business community, which is also a major event in the business world, and the scene will be grand and spectacular, and it will be very lively. How many of you're interested?"

Ji Sui, who couldn't help but be addicted to alcohol, took the wine gourd and put it into his mouth, and after just a few sips, the words began to increase, and when he heard that we had been discussing the Chen Chamber of Commerce, he released the news.

From Mu Yan and Liu Ji's expressions, it was obvious to me that I had read the words 'full of interest'.

Obviously, this news also piqued my interest. What's more, this is the first recommendation meeting of the business community every three years, and whether the Chen family can be re-elected in this conference is indeed worth checking out.

A few of us hit it off quickly, the crane tower is far away from here, it seems that we have to rush over in the morning so that we won't miss today's grand event!

The four of us took our horses one after another, stepped on the horse's back, and hurried to the direction of the crane tower......

When our group arrived at the Crane Tower, it had already passed the unitary hour, and the bursts of cheers came from time to time, and it was obvious that the meeting had already begun in the Crane Tower.

We hurriedly dismounted and rushed to the archway of the crane tower, but were blocked by the nursing courtyard guarding outside the archway.

Mu Yan was furious, raised his horsewhip and pointed at the two guards, and said arrogantly:

"Do you know who we are? How dare you stop me and the others, get out of the way quickly, and maybe we can wait for a little life!"

How do you know that these nursing homes are stubborn and don't eat, and they don't hesitate to stand in front of them and say:

"How many sons do you have invitations?"

A few of us couldn't help but look at each other, it turned out that we still needed an invitation to participate in this conference, and it seemed that if we really wanted to enter, it would take a lot of twists and turns.

"There is no invitation, just by virtue of the honorable status of a few of us, it is your honor to be honored. ”

Mu Yan unceremoniously wanted to go inside, but he didn't expect this nursing home to be so ignorant of what to do, and he just blocked his way.

Mu Yan was furious, and said with a sneer:

"Or do you think you can stop me with the strength of the two of you?"

As soon as Mu Yan's words fell, the guards suddenly surrounded us from all directions, and soon, we were surrounded by water!

I shook my head helplessly, it seems that this hard break is impossible.

It's not that I don't believe in the skills of the second and third horses, it's just that street fights are always face-hurting, and if this matter is spread, I'm afraid that something big will happen.

I hurriedly separated the distance between Mu Yan and the two nursing homes, stood in front of Mu Yan, faced the two nursing homes, took out a token from my arms without leaving a trace and showed them it, with a smile on my face, and said with kind words:

"Two little brothers, we really don't have this invitation, but can you please summon the head of the family and let him take us in!"

The two guards showed incredible eyes after seeing the token, waved their hands to let the people around them disperse immediately, and then returned the salute with their fists, and said:

"Please wait a moment. ”

After saying that, one of them went to invite the master of their house.

I didn't expect that the token that Chen Xiaoyu gave me would be so useful, it seems that the nursing homes arranged around here are also from the Chen family!

Mu Yan was dumbfounded, he didn't expect that it would be useless to beat people with his cuffs when he broke his mouth, this big colt just said a word or two so tepidly, and it really made people invite their family master!

What's going on?

"What's going on?"

Behind him, Mu Yan couldn't help but ask.

I quietly put the token away, then shrugged my shoulders in disguise, and pursed my lips:

"It's probably because I'm a little more gentle and elegant than you!"

Hearing this, Liu Yu behind him couldn't help laughing, and even Ji Sui, who had been drinking, had a somewhat strange expression on his face!

Mu Yan's face turned dark, a little dumbfounded, and in the end he could only snort coldly, with an unconvinced expression, pouting and no longer speaking.
