"Father, what about me?" asked Chai Lingwu.

Chai Shao's face sank, he glanced at him, and said, "You go back to the house to reflect, and look at how old you are compared to these people, how old is Bai, you are not good at civil and military affairs, and you have a straw bag." ”

"That's what a father says of his son. Both civil and military have big brothers, and I can be filial. This hundred virtues and filial piety come first. I am the Great Wisdom. Chai Lingwu replied solemnly.

Jiang Chengzi covered his mouth and smiled at Li Ke, only thinking that this kid had become so funny. Is this the same person as the scourge in history?

"Stand down, go back and reflect. Chai Shao didn't want to say more, so he just made a straight face.

Chai Lingwu lowered his eyes, turned around and left lonely.

Chai Shao then led a group of people to the side room where he stayed, still making tea and talking. first asked Zhang Jia about the situation of the Qiang people here, and then greeted Zhang Jia's grandfather, who is okay.

"My grandfather didn't care about the world for a long time, he played with flowers and plants all day long, and loved to raise geese. A flock of geese makes the backyard chickens fly and dogs jump all day long, which is quite lively. Zhang Jia replied with a smile.

Chai Shao laughed and said with envy: "It is a great blessing to be able to get this share of comfort." Looking at the world's famous families, only you, the Zhang family in Hedong, can have this free and easy, have no nostalgia for power, and let it go. It's really a master. ”

"General Chai has won the award. Zhang is free and easy, compared with the general and others, he is really lazy and has no ambitions. Zhang Jia was polite.

Chai Shao shook his head and said, "I'm not a prize." Famous families in the world have always been intrigued, even if it is my Chai family, it will not be spared. I also know a thing or two about what you Hedong Zhang did. After all, I am friends with your grandfather. ”

"My grandfather used to tell me about General Chai's chivalrous name. Zhang Jia was quite polite.

Jiang Chengzi was silent, but he couldn't sit still like a little girl in his seat. Playing with a teacup. Chai Shao naturally observed her inadvertently from time to time, Jiang Chengzi knew. But he pretended not to know, and looked outside the house from time to time.

"What kind of chivalrous name do I have, it's just that everyone loves it, and it's a joke or two. But I heard that you are the patriarch of this generation, but you don't know when you will get married and succeed to the throne?" Chai Shao changed the subject.

Zhang Jia smiled helplessly and said: "The wedding day is far away, and General Chai must also know that my Zhang clan patriarch must find a matching person on his own, and he can afford the position of the patriarch's wife, and he also likes the woman." I wasn't as lucky as my grandparents. So far, no suitable person has been found. ”

"Everything is fate, the right person is not easy to find, and you have to like it a lot, and you can afford to be the head of the big family. You don't have to worry, your grandfather missed a beautiful woman in the past, and he also resigned as the patriarch, didn't he meet your grandmother later?" Chai Shao comforted Zhang Jia.

Zhang Jia nodded and said politely: "Yes, everything in the world is fate." Origin and extinction. Own definite number. I don't force it, I just need the people I care about to be happy in this world. ”

Zhang Jia said. His eyes drifted over inadvertently, just glanced at her in a flash, and looked at Chai Shao with a gentle smile.

Chai Shao was stunned. Only then did he smile and said, "Listen to what the virtuous nephew said." I'm afraid it's someone on purpose?"

"The falling flowers are intentionally ruthless. Zhang Jia's tone was lonely.

"I don't know who the girl can refuse the position of the Zhang family as the head of the house. Chai Shao quipped.

Zhang Jia shook his head slightly. said: "General Chai don't make fun of me." In this world, even if the power is monstrous, there must be people who can't get it, and people who can't get it. And if you can't get it, it's about the number of fate, or the cause and effect of a certain lifetime. ”

"Huh, the virtuous nephew actually believes in karma, but in the past, your grandfather was never as depressed as you. Chai Shao sighed.

Zhang Jia chuckled and said, "The Zhang family has always believed in fate and cause and effect. Therefore, I will be able to accept the result calmly, and I will never have any revenge. ”

Jiang Chengzi knew that he was saying this to her, and it was to reassure her that even if she chose Li Ke, he would not be a villain or a person who fell into the well. In fact, Jiang Chengzi has not been as repulsive to Zhang Jia as she was at the beginning in her recent relationship, at least she gradually understood in the fragment of the broken dream that Zhang Jia finally killed her and then committed suicide, really because she threatened the interests of the Zhang family, as the patriarch of the Zhang family, he could only choose that.

"The virtuous nephew is young, and if he can understand such a truth, his future is limitless. is such a talent, he will definitely be accompanied by a beautiful woman one day. It's a pity that my wife left early, and there was no daughter, otherwise you would have to be a parent. Chai Shao laughed.

Zhang Jia said again and again: "General Chai has won the award, and the younger generation is ashamed." ”

Chai Shao waved his hand, changed his words, and said, "I have no daughter." There are several girls in this Yang Sixth Master, the Yang family is famous, and your Zhang family is a good match. ”

Jiang Chengzi's heart tightened, and he secretly thought that this Chai Shaomo didn't want Lu'an to order the mandarin duck spectrum, or this sentence was to send a message to the Yang family, so that the Yang family could marry his daughter to the family at the speed of the sixth room, and not stir up the royal affairs?

Jiang Chengzi couldn't grasp Chai Shao's mind for a while, and only waited and watched the changes. Instead, Yang Qing let the little adult look like he spoke, and said, "General Chai, don't embarrass Zhang Gongzi." I heard that the patriarch of the Zhang clan chooses a wife, in the end, it is to be happy with each other. He and my eldest sister and younger sister have met many times, and if they don't get along, my Yang family can't climb high.

Yang Qing said this very appropriately, but Chai Shao did not let go of Yang, and then said: "I have heard that the virtuous nephew asked Miss Ah Zhi before?"

Chai Shao's words were understated, as if he was joking. And, when he said this, his eyes swept over Jiang Chengzi and Zhang Jia, and finally stopped to look at Zhang Jia and asked, "Is it?"

Zhang Jia arched his hand and replied: "This is indeed the case." ”

"That virtuous nephew and Miss Azhi must be in love with each other, so they will ask for marriage. Chai Shao asked.

Zhang Jia didn't answer for a while, but Jiang Chengzi pouted and said, "General Chai is the most bullying." Even if you know such a secret thing, you should know that Ah Zhi's situation at that time is in danger. General Chai is also a famous family. How much is there to do in this door, I think the generals are also clear. On that day, I was desperate, and I met Zhang Gongzi who was watching the flowers, and learned that Zhang Gongzi was the patriarch of the Zhang clan in Hedong, so I begged him to help my mother and son. Zhang Gongzi is kind-hearted, and he is unwilling to take my mother and son away in vain, and he tells the truth. Just like this, let the Zhang family support my mother and son. to get through the difficulties. If General Chai doesn't believe it, he can send someone to investigate. But that's it. ”

"Yes. At that time, my mother and son were desperate. Thanks to Zhang Gongzi's genius. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to talk to General Chai here today. Yang Qingrang answered, and then bowed to Zhang Jia and said, "Zhang Gongzi is very gracious." Yang's six rooms are toothless and unforgettable. ”

"Qing Rang is too polite. It is a blessing to get to know some of you. Best friends and brothers, they must be stuck in both ribs. Zhang Jia replied, but the eyes looked at him again.

Li Ke, who had been leaning on the desk without saying a word, said slowly: "Don't be nervous about the few of you. You only know my uncle's chivalrous name. can fight well, but he doesn't know that he likes to joke the most, he is serious and anxious. But he watched from the wall, stealing pleasure. Otherwise, how could he teach a son like Ah Wu. ”

When Chai Shao heard this, he coughed, made a straight face, and reprimanded him seriously: "How can you be such a son and nephew? ”

"It's my uncle, it's not right first. Look at you. What have scared these friends of mine? Now, you are my father, and this word and deed is not only you, General Chai. Li Ke said, slowly sitting upright.

Chai Shao shook his head with a smile and quipped: "Ke'er feels sorry for Miss Azhi." ”

"Yes. Li Ke did not shy away from it. replied directly, and then added, "Uncle already knows Ke'er's thoughts." But if you still mess with the mandarin duck score, you are not afraid of self-defeating. Ke'er holds a grudge against you?"

Chai Shao was slightly embarrassed and smiled. Say, "Nothing." Jinhua is very measured, and the ancestors of the Zhang family are very strict. If you care, you are confused, and you think too much. ”

Li Ke lowered his eyes, changed the topic, and said: "My father asked you to come here as a messenger, but you didn't ask, you didn't give a reward, and you didn't understand the people's feelings. Uncle is here to play?"

"Yo, are you kid in charge of your uncle's business?" Chai Shao asked rhetorically, and walked straight to the main seat and sat down.

"Just curious. Li Ke raised his eyes and glanced at him, waved his hand to everyone, and said, "Sit casually, my uncle doesn't have so many rules." ”

Everyone nodded their heads again and again, but they still chose their own suitable seats to sit down according to the order. Jiang Chengzi heard the back and forth between Li Ke and Chai Shao, which seemed to be indifferent, but in fact, he had secretly made many moves. She only felt very tired, so she simply wanted to play the role of an innocent and intelligent little girl now, and sometimes she didn't need such intrigues.

"You're taking your uncle's house as well. Chai Shaoyun smiled lightly.

"If I wasn't outside, I wouldn't have dared to be so presumptuous. My mother often taught me to avoid suspicion, and my father had to think about the common people in the world, and he had worked hard, and he must not make my father tired of reoccurring incidents. Therefore, over the years, during the New Year's holidays, I didn't dare to go to my uncle's house. Even if you meet Ah Wu unexpectedly and cherish each other, you always have to avoid one or two. Li Ke sighed later, and Chai Lingwu immediately echoed his brother and said that this was exactly the case.

Chai Shao just chuckled, took a sip of tea from the teacup, and then praised: "Your mother has extraordinary knowledge, and His Majesty said the same thing before." It is the luck of Ke'er to have this loving mother, and Ke'er has adhered to the way of being a son of man and a minister over the years, and everyone knows it. ”

But this time I disappointed my father. Li Ke immediately answered, but he looked at Jiang Chengzi with a smile.

His eyes were as gentle as water, and his smile was like the March breeze. Jiang Chengzi glanced at him, sneered, and said, "Don't look at me." This has nothing to do with me. ”

"If it weren't for you, how could I twist my father and break the precedent of this prince leading the governor?" said Li Ke in a loud voice.

Jiang Chengzi also did not admit defeat, and retorted: "You have to blame me for those things you did, General Chai and Zhang Gongzi are here, and they have to be judged." I am excellent and beautiful to me, and you have other ideas to do, but they will be counted on my head. What is the reason?" Jiang Chengzi asked loudly.

Li Ke still smiled lightly between his eyebrows, and said softly: "You have lost my heart, and you want to count it on your head." This is the only way that you can make you owe me a lifetime. ”

What he said was very unruly. Even in the Tang Dynasty, where the people are open and strong, such public flirting and scolding is also against the sky, not to mention the presence of elders.

When Jiang Chengzi heard this, his face was hot for no reason, and he didn't know what to do, so he only threw a sentence anxiously and annoyedly: "Who wants to pay you back?" Then, he got up and took his skirt and was about to leave.

Yang Qingrang immediately shouted: "Ah Zi, you don't have the same knowledge as the King of Shu." He just wants you to be angry. Now, it was General Chai who invited you, and you really don't know how to be polite. ”

Jiang Chengzi paused, bowed to Chai Shao, and complained: "General Chai, although he is the king of Shu, he is also your nephew, you have to take care of it." He's like this, how can I marry in the future?"

"Do you still want to marry someone else?" Li Ke's voice suddenly raised an octave, and he looked very unhappy, and said, "I have already made it clear that you have to be mine in this life, don't you understand?"

"I am mine, not anyone. Jiang Chengzi replied in a low voice, and then added before he became angry, "The world is unpredictable, who knows what the variables will be tomorrow?"

"As soon as the winter solstice is over, I will go back to Chang'an and ask my father to allow you and me to marry. Rest assured, my luggage is ready. Today, I will ask General Chai to be a witness. Li Ke hit the snake with the stick, and Li Ke dragged Chai Shao into this game and became a witness to his love with Jiang Chengzi.

If Chai Shao dared to announce the holy decree to let Jiang Chengzi enter the palace at this moment, Li Ke could be a joke for him and resolve it calmly. If Chai Shao had been their witness at this moment, he would have absolutely not read the holy decree.

After he finished speaking, "Please ask General Chai to be a witness", then he looked at Chai Shao and shouted: "Uncle, you want to help Ke'er." ”

Of course, Chai Shao knew that Yang Shufei's mother and son were powerful, and he also knew that this kid was scheming, but he didn't expect that such a few words would bring him to this node. Originally, he wanted to observe for a few more days before deciding whether to implement the suggestion Li Shimin had said earlier. After all, his investigation of the girl in front of him was far from enough.

But now, the king of Shu actually called the abacus directly, and he forced him to have no way out with a word.

"General Chai, you can also see how nice he said today, if he comes to the next day, he will break this oath. I don't ask him to swear any poisonous oaths, for such karmic retribution is really boring. Jiang Chengzi saw that Chai Shao didn't answer, and he already knew in his heart that Chai Shao was still inspecting her and Yang's sixth room.

"Then what does Miss Azhi want?" Chai Lingwu added fuel to the fire.

"I will never break my oath, you don't have a chance. Li Ke said.

Jiang Chengzi glanced at him and said, "First say the decision, and then don't mess up." It happens that General Chai is here today, and it is your uncle, so this witness has to let him do it. ”

"If you talk about witnesses, General Chai represents the king of Shu, then I will also join in the fun, and I will also be a witness, on behalf of Ah Zhi, can you?" Zhang Jia also got up slowly and said with a smile.

"Zhang Jinhua, don't interrupt you, what's the matter with you?" Li Ke was displeased.

"Hey. Don't say that. I represent Ah Zhi. Zhang Jia replied, and then asked Jiang Chengzi, "Ah Zhi, you say, if he violates his oath, what will you do?" )
