Chapter 92: The head of the family
The proprietress of the wine shop looked up and saw that the young man seemed to be drunk on horseback, although the old horse knew the way, but he couldn't help but be a little worried about the safety of the young man, and was thinking that he should leave the young man in the wine shop for the night, and when he woke up, send someone to send the young man back.
As soon as I walked to the door, I looked at a handsome little man dressed up, walked over quickly and took the young man's horse's head, and the young master and the young master shouted, maybe it is the family in the young man's house.
The proprietress looked at the little guy suspiciously, but the little guy didn't avoid it, she also looked at the proprietress too, nodded and smiled at the proprietress in thanks, bowed, and said:
"Thank you boss lady for taking care of my son-in-law!"
The proprietress saw that this little guy looked delicate, and he was also gentle and polite to people, and he did not have the wealth and arrogance of the eyes above the top, and he really matched the young man's temperament, so she felt a little relieved, and responded with a smile:
"In this case, Brother Lao will bring your son-in-law back to the house safely. ”
"Hey, wake up. ”
The little guy responded with a smile, bowed slightly to the proprietress in return, and then carefully took the horse's head, and slowly left this place of wine shops under the direct gaze of the proprietress.
This little guy is none other than Chen Xiaoyu, who came to pick up the horse master.
When she received a report from her subordinates, she said that the master of the horse was actually dressed in official clothes, appeared in a wine shop, and mingled with some rough men, drinking and having fun, listening to it, she felt that one head and two were big.
Let's not mention that he drank and had fun with the people in the market so disregarded his face as the imperial court's palace, and he was not dignified. What's more, he knew that someone intended to do wrong to him, and he didn't know how to be cautious, he was too willful and reckless, which was really annoying!
Chen Xiaoyu didn't blame the horse master for not knowing the difference between dignity and humility and drinking and having fun with the people in the market, but now it is an extraordinary period, and the enemy is still sneaking into the darkness and ready to move.
Isn't there something on this kid's mind?
Chen Xiaoyu muttered to himself for a while, looking at the horse master who was so drunk that he was lying on the horse's back after looking at him, fortunately, he was the kind of drunk who slept with his head covered, if he was drunk and crazy on the street, Chen Xiaoyu would not bother to care about him!
Chen Xiaoyu pulled the horse's head, thinking that if he went to the main road, this kid was too dazzling in public clothes, so it would be more appropriate to go to the small road with fewer people.
And the Changchun Garden, which is the closest to this, is his family's property, and placing the horse master there first can also keep him safe.
After making up his mind, Chen Xiaoyu pulled the horse and took the horse master to the less crowded path, and the team that secretly protected them also moved here. Seeing that this group of people was moving quickly enough, Chen Xiaoyu nodded with satisfaction.
Maybe it was the bump on the horse's back, this kid first coughed for a while, and then couldn't stop saying some drunken words, people's eyes haven't opened yet, and the voice is weak and inaudible, but Chen Xiaoyu really heard it, only to hear this kid keep saying:
"Horse, horse, take me to her......"
Originally, Chen Xiaoyu thought that he was thirsty and shouted for water, but now he heard it really well, and he couldn't stop shaking his head.
I often hear people say that if this person is sick with lovesickness, it is probably difficult to cure.
It is said that this disease is quite strict: the body is like a floating cloud, the heart is like a flying flocculent, and the qi is like a gossamer, if it reaches the point where the qi is like a gossamer, it is probably a situation where you are going to lose your life.
Looking at the current situation of this concubine, it has only been four days since he was separated from Her Royal Highness the Princess, and he is already in such a shape, this lovesickness is really harmful, she Chen Xiaoyu is used to being free and idle, so don't let yourself jump into this fire pit so early.
Well, you have to take it as a warning.
Chen Xiaoyu secretly made a decision in his heart, glanced at the horse master who was still talking nonsense when he was drunk, pursed his lips, and said with a smile:
"Boy, thank me, the horse can't take you to her, I'll be merciful today and take you to her!"
After speaking, Chen Xiaoyu laughed a few times like a rough man, and then pulled the horse to Changchun Garden.
Not long after Chen Xiaoyu left, two suspicious people walked out of the inner alley, and between whispering and talking, they wanted the other to go back first and report what they saw to the upper family, and the two immediately separated one after the other, one continued to follow Chen Xiaoyu, while the other person went in the other direction, as if he was preparing to report the news to the upper family.
Not long after the two of them walked apart, they were dragged to the secret and executed on the spot by the eyeliner set by Chen Xiaoyu before.
Hearing a few cuckoo calls behind her, Chen Xiaoyu knew that those secret posts should have been cleaned up, and it was not in vain that she deliberately led people to this small road and dark alley, and wiped him out.
It seems that what the princess said is not bad, that Dugu Xin is really not a good stubble, he has only been in the capital for a few days, and he began to secretly get close to some officials in the court, and even the presidents of several major chambers of commerce in the capital have met him.
Chen Xiaoyu's father is the head of the Beijing Chamber of Commerce, and the others are all looking forward to Chen Yuanwai's horse, so Duguxin naturally can't cross her father, because the Yanyu Building where they temporarily stayed is jointly built and managed by his father and several other uncles of the Chamber of Commerce, Duguxin took this as an excuse: to thank several wealthy businessmen for their hard work, he set up a banquet and invited a few people.
On the banquet, there are also many verbal temptations, throwing stones to ask for directions, and also taking this opportunity to know the minds of various chambers of commerce.
Businessmen are the best at dealing with people, and they understand the truth that they can see each other in the future after leaving a line on weekdays, and they don't talk full, leaving a little leeway, this Dugu Xin's life background is clear in his heart, and he says that the rich do not fight with the officials, and deal with it ambiguously, and the court, the state and the town are not offended, and that's it.
At that banquet, the guests of honor were happy, but in the end, no deal was negotiated.
Chen Xiaoyu has always given outsiders the impression of a young lady who is raised in the depths of the boudoir, coupled with the painting competition a few months ago, after a "affectionate" confession to the fake Xiaoyaosheng, Chen Xiaoyu's daughter has a few more stupid labels under the halo of the eldest lady.
This made those people in the capital who hated the rich laugh at it as a joke after dinner, but it also freed Chen Xiaoyu a little from the trap where the threshold of the person who proposed his relatives was about to be flattened.
She herself felt a lot quieter, but fortunately, her father understood her and didn't pay much attention to this matter, but just warned her not to act so unproportionately in the future.
After that, Chen Xiaoyu often let her personal maid pretend to be her to avoid people's eyes and ears at home, while she herself often disguised herself as a man to go out to run errands, and also went to the family industry to learn and supervise as a younger generation, so as to prepare for taking over the family business in the future.
Dugu Xin should not know that the Chen family has a subordinate relationship with Her Royal Highness the princess, so he has been in a hurry to win over the knot in recent days, if he knows that the Chen family has intersected with the powerful people in the DPRK and China, I am afraid that Dugu Xin will not do anything and do things that are unfavorable to her father, it seems that she has to guard against this!
It seems that for the Lord, the trouble of the state town is a big stumbling block.
Chen Xiaoyu was thinking to himself, he didn't expect to arrive at the back door of Changchun Garden so soon, the front gate was full of people with mixed eyes and scruples, so Chen Xiaoyu deliberately walked through the back door and let the steward help watch, just waiting for them to come back and open a convenient door.
What Chen Xiaoyu didn't expect was that Her Royal Highness the princess had already been guarding the door, and a beautiful woman dressed in white like snow was standing there quietly, like a beautiful picture, and she didn't want to look away when she saw it.
Chen Xiaoyu looked at the princess's gentle gaze, and couldn't help but sigh slightly, he originally wanted to let people pack up this kid first and then let the princess see him, such a drunken appearance, I was afraid that I would make the princess angry.
"Lord, I'm so sorry I didn't take a fancy to this kid and let him get drunk. ”
Chen Xiaoyu couldn't help but bow his head and speak, his words full of apologies.
I saw that the princess just smiled bitterly, walked over, and said:
"Xiaoyu, didn't I tell you that when no one is around, you can call me Wan'er? You have supported him all the way, I am grateful that you are too late, how can I blame you. ”
As she spoke, the princess walked to the horse's side, and stroked the horse's drunken and sleepy face slightly, and the princess smiled, as if she had never thought that the taste of missing a person was so painful, and once she saw this person, she was a little stunned.
Hearing that the princess was a little angry, Chen Xiaoyu hurriedly stuck out her tongue and said a little playfully:
"Isn't it called getting used to it, and it's just a name, it doesn't have to be so serious. Speaking of which, you are too accustomed to him, and I have never seen him so crazy in such a drunken singing in a wine shop. ”
As soon as he thought of this kid's various behaviors in the wine shop, Chen Xiaoyu couldn't help but smack his tongue, thinking that he would have to say a few more words to him when he saw him in the future, so good at drinking, he would not become a wine jar in the future?
For Chen Xiaoyu, a man who drinks and gets drunk every day is a depressed and useless person, who laments the injustice of fate every day, but never looks for the reason for failure in herself, she looks down on this kind of self-defeating man the most.
Hearing the anger in Xiao Yu's tone, the princess seemed to be able to guess how depressed the pony was at that time.
frowned slightly, and his tone became a little soft, and he said:
"She's bitter in her heart, and it's okay to indulge occasionally. ”
Hearing this, Chen Xiaoyu was powerless to say anything more, sighed helplessly, and said:
"What man in this world doesn't have a little pain in his heart, a manly man, he has to swallow blood when he breaks his teeth, and it is natural to suffer some suffering, otherwise how can he be the head of this family? I don't know how many blessings this kid has cultivated in his previous life, so you can treat him like this in this life, this kid is so lucky that people are a little jealous. ”
When the princess heard this, she smiled and said:
"Yes, Xiaoyu is right, if you are a man, it is natural for you to suffer some pain in your heart. It's just that when I say it's lucky, how do I know if it's not my luck more than with him?"
Looking at the princess's affectionate face, Chen Xiaoyu felt a lot, and said that this love is a grinding thing, and looking at the appearance of the pair in front of him, Chen Xiaoyu was afraid and envious of the word "love".
"Okay, don't stand outside the door, go to the garden to rest first, I asked the steward to prepare a room for you, and let them prepare hot water and a few dry clothes, and let the next person make another bowl of hangover tea later, send it to your room, feed him to drink, and let him rest for the night." ”
The princess nodded in agreement.
"Then I'll let him bathe and change his clothes first?"
Chen Xiaoyu's words just fell, but he was rejected by the princess.
"No, I am his wife, and I am serving him. ”
“......”
The princess still had a smile on her face, but why did Chen Xiaoyu feel a chill coming?
And the flash of chill in Princess Fangcai's eyes was her own delusion?
Chen Xiaoyu's eyes became a little strange, watching the princess personally help the horse master off the horse, and then passed in front of him as if nothing happened, and finally everyone had already entered Changchun Garden, Chen Xiaoyu's body was frozen and motionless, so he could only stand stupidly in place!
Is this a blatant show of affection in front of her?
Chen Xiaoyu couldn't help but go crazy for a while, and then followed into Changchun Garden, and then covered the back door with his hand......
The princess had to help her wipe her body clean and then change into dry clothes as she had a fever last time, and waited for the master to drink the hangover tea, so she tossed for several hours, watching the night fall, and today will also usher in the end.
After glancing at the horse that was now sleeping peacefully on the couch, and seeing that everything was cleaned up, the princess got up and went to bathe, washed away the fatigue of today's body, changed into a refreshing white dress, and then dried off her long black and straight hair a little, and returned to the horse room to continue to take care of her.
As soon as she pushed open the door, she heard the horse shouting like a dream, and the princess hurriedly walked over, but she heard the horse shouting the name of Ah Zheng, and suddenly she was a little angry and funny.
Slightly suppressed her active body, and touched her forehead again, to see if there was a fever, when I helped the horse change clothes, I found that she was soaked, fortunately, the weather has been a little hot recently, and the horse seems to have used the ginger soup to the cold table, as long as she has no fever tonight, then Ming'er should be like a normal person, you can go to the morning court.
"When you're so big, don't you know how to take care of yourself?"
The princess stroked the horse's face, and asked in the horse's ear helplessly.
The colt suddenly grabbed the princess's hand tightly, and though he had not opened his eyes, he saw that his brows were frowning, and he could not tell whether he was awake or in a coma and was talking drunk, but he could only hear the pony anxiously ask:
"Ah Zheng, Ah Zheng, what time is it?
Seeing the anxious look on the horse's face, the princess was a little unbearable, and hurriedly said with relief:
"Don't worry, it's just past the unitary hour, and it's almost time. ”
I thought that she would be relieved to stop for a while when she heard the reply, but she suddenly struggled and seemed to get up, and the princess hurriedly pressed her back to the bed, but heard her start talking nonsense again, and I don't know if the person is awake or not, but the princess listened to it, but the person still did not wake up, only listened to her:
"It's almost time, don't stop me, I'm going to Yong'an Temple, I'm going to play the flute for the princess!"
"Fool!"
The princess sighed slightly, but the tone was slowly full of happiness, stroking the horse's face, the princess slowly invaded, a strand of long hair fell gently over the shoulders of the horse's ear, and the princess couldn't help but drop an affectionate kiss on the horse's red lips......
"Have you forgotten, you've been to Yong'an Temple and played the flute. Now you need to get a good night's sleep, and when you wake up, you'll be fine. Well, sleep well, I'll watch over you!"
The princess whispered these words softly in the ear of the horse, full of spoiling, but it made the master of the horse very useful, and after a while, he stopped making a fuss, and really fell asleep quietly and smoothly.
The princess gently tucked the quilt for the pony, and sat quietly beside her, looking thoughtfully at the pony's quiet and sweet sleeping face for a long time, but did not say a word......
