In the study, there are antique pine bookcases, tables and chairs, and the whole room is covered in brown-red classical tones under the dim candlelight. A straight white smoke www.biquge.info from the openwork silver smoke, like a snow-white silver thread.

The lily incense was originally free to sway in the air in the room, but suddenly it merged into a strong fragrance and rushed towards the desk. Chen Zhen was disturbed by the aroma and couldn't help but look up to see that his precious granddaughter had already pushed open the door of the study.

Chen Siyu turned around and closed the door, and when she turned around, she saw Chen Zhen holding the table with both hands, and the long white beard hanging on his chest was blown up and down by the air flow spit out of his mouth.

She slowed down her pace in amusement, not daring to pester her grandfather and laugh as she had done before, she came to the table lightly, picked up the kettle on the table, poured a cup of hot tea and handed it to him, and he waved his hand irritably. She put down her glass and patted him on the back and rubbed his chest as if soothingly.

Chen Zhen's tense body gradually relaxed, Chen Siyu moved a bench and sat down beside him, holding his arm with both hands, his chin resting on his right shoulder, a pair of eyes full of aura swirling, always paying attention to the look between his eyebrows.

Her eyes pondered for a while, then raised them again, and muttered: "Grandpa, is Si Yugu upsetting you, is he still a thief?" ”

As soon as Chen Zhen heard "Si Yugu", he immediately became angry, gritted his teeth and said: "I knew that I couldn't hide it from you, that guy was really hateful!" I was very happy that he had first come to have fellowship with me. He is a member of the government and the head of Hangzhou, after all, we are just businessmen, if we want to do business safely and for a long time, we need the protection of the government. So I never dared to slack off on him, and I always treated him with all my heart every time he came. But this guy was blinded by lard, and he refused to give up until he got his hands on the heirloom of my Chen family. After a few pesters, I thought you had dispelled his delusions. I didn't know that he brought up the old story again at today's dinner, so I had to say it again according to your words. When he heard this, he was furious and insisted that the jade bi was in the village, and he actually threatened to hand it over quickly if he didn't see the jade bi, which would make me Chen and his family uneasy. ”

Chen Siyu let go of his hands, sat up straight, and sneered: "As expected, the fox's tail can be regarded as revealing today." ”

She stood up, left her seat, and with her hands behind her back, she lowered her head in contemplation as she paced back and forth in the open space of the study.

Paying attention to the established, she stood up decisively and rushed in front of Chen Zhen, the hesitation and tangled look that had just shrouded her face were completely gone, and her usual confident smile was still in place.

Her face was flushed, her speech was a little faster, and she was slightly excited: "Grandpa, since the baby in the family has been targeted by the tiger wolf, this baby is no longer a treasure but a disaster, and it will lure the wolf into the house sooner or later." Over the years, in order to forcibly seize other people's gold, silver and property, local officials have ruined people's homes and killed people, and there have been few cases of wives being separated? This treasure has ended its fate with our Chen family. Grandpa, when you are constantly suffering, you have to make up your mind as soon as possible. ”

"I just can't let this baby fall into the hands of a villain." Chen Zhen shouted angrily.

"Grandpa, don't worry." Chen Siyu smiled weirdly, "I won't cheapen that villain for nothing." I heard that the saint had been plagued by head diseases over the years, and some local officials had also visited famous doctors in Hangzhou. ”

Chen Zhen heard some doorways slightly, and couldn't help urging: "Say it quickly." ”

Chen Siyu picked up the brush on the pen stand, dipped it in ink, wrote the two big characters Xiang and Jun side by side on the paper, then put down the brush, and first pointed at the "Xiang" with his finger and said: "The old fox wants to give him the jade bi." Then he moved his finger to the word "Jun" and clicked, "Why don't we give it to him directly." ”

Chen Zhen was surprised: "You mean the emperor?" ”

Chen Siyu nodded with a smile and said, "Exactly." We can't keep this jade horizontally. Instead of cheapening that villain, let's just draw a gourd in the same way. He can offer treasures, so can we, no matter how big the prime minister is, the Son of Heaven has a fancy to something, even if the prime minister is bold, he will not dare to covet it blatantly. And this matter is not harmful to us, this jade is also a treasure to prolong life, willing to give up a jade bi can not be able to get the sacred heart, once the saint has a reward, we will be able to suppress Si Yugu at that time. At that time, the jade bi has really become the treasure of our Chen family, and with the blessing of the saint, our Chen family's business will definitely be more prosperous. ”

"This ......" Chen Zhen's face showed hesitation, and he was very uneasy about his granddaughter's suggestion, "But Yubi can't cure the head disease, in case the saint is annoyed, wouldn't it be self-defeating." ”

Chen Siyu had a steady tone, and Yin Yin advised him to make up his mind as soon as possible.

After a night of fierce ideological struggle, at dawn the next morning, a message came from someone who said that the old man had approved what the young lady had mentioned yesterday. Chen Siyu was overjoyed, she invited Xiao Hongye alone, the two of them summed up for a while, and she hurried to the old man to discuss the details.

A few days later, the Chen family wished to dedicate the ancient treasure "Thousand Years of Water Sinking" to the Holy One for the maintenance of the Holy Body. It is said that this jade bi has a miraculous effect on alleviating head diseases, and Chen Zhen's was transmitted to the emperor's ears through a report submitted by an officialdom to the stock exchange, and the emperor was really happy.

The emperor quickly selected Gu Chaomin, recommended by the crown prince, as an escort officer from among the recommended people, and went to Hangzhou with a hundred forbidden troops. The local government offices passing by all took the treasure transport as the first priority, and let the brigade of people and horses go first. The governor of Hangzhou and officials of all sizes had to assist and wait for the dispatch of the escort officer. It is about the dragon body, and the people who undertake this matter are all cautious and trembling.

However, Chen Siyu was extremely satisfied with the emperor's order, and everything went smoothly according to plan.

In order to ensure that it could be delivered to the emperor as soon as possible, Gu Chaomin and his entourage hurriedly arrived at the post station outside Hangzhou in less than half a month.

In the early morning of 16 April, the brigade officially entered the city.

There has long been Hangzhou Zhizhou Si Yu Gu led a cadre of Hangzhou city officials and local squires and celebrities to wait by the city gate, behind them there is a flag planting color building, wrapping flower ball ribbons, hanging gold clay plaques.

Before the men and horses approached, they only heard the roar of firecrackers, saw the flying of red dust, smelled the smell of sulfur saltpeter, and raised a cloud of smoke and dust above their heads and feet.

A short and capable leading official dressed in a red official uniform, with a thin face, wrinkled face, thin eyebrows and thin eyes, braved the smoke and dust to walk to the leader of the team's horse, bowed down with a smile and bowed his hand: "The lower official Hangzhou Zhizhou Si Yu Gu greets General Gu and the generals to Hangzhou City. ”

Gu Chaomin was lined with a red robe, covered with silver armor, his face was as cold as a thin blade, and he rode a brown horse draped in brocade, heroic and upright, and it was majestic! He saw someone come forward and pull him up, paused, and glanced at the horse from the corner of his eye, it turned out to be Yu Gu, the former Jingzhao Yin Si Yugu, who had been belittled from Chang'an to Hangzhou to be the governor of the "Chang'an Human Trafficker Case", and he was very disdainful in his heart.

He let out a soft snort of contempt from his nose, and he didn't even bother to say a simple pass-through polite remark. Ignoring his existence in front of everyone, he drove his horse away.

Si Yugu's good mood was not disturbed by his indifference. His expression remained unchanged, and he still maintained a courteous and flattering expression and retreated to the horse team, and bowed his hand to the generals of the Royal Forest Army who came up to him and rode the horses one by one: "Please, please, please, please ......."

Everyone followed the team into the city gate, Si Yugu accompanied Gu Chaomin's horse to lead the way, and the civilians in the city consciously divided into two teams in advance under the arrangement of the government wearing clean new clothes that could only be worn during the New Year, and knelt on the ground to greet them. The huge market was silent, only the jagged clatter of horses' hooves and the fleshy sycophants of Lord Si echoed in everyone's ears.

The scenery of Hangzhou is indeed unique, and it is no wonder that literati and scholars have always praised this place. The wind here is soft, and the floral fragrance is sweet. The gurgling water is the lingering love words of a lover; Yiyi Yangliu is the parting of husband and wife; The bluestone arch bridge is the secret period of the lover under the moon, and the mist is the subtlety and hazy of love.

The ambiguous smell here made Gu Chaomin slightly shaken, even if his heart was like steel, he couldn't help but slowly melt into this spring breeze, a silk butterfly with black spots on a white background flew by, and he suddenly smelled a smell of yarrow.

However, this natural scenery was ruined by Si Yugu's self-inflicted cleverness. The abrupt lanterns hanging everywhere, the silk wrapped around the trunks of the trees, and the introductions that I don't know how many times I have rehearsed in private, everything seems so deliberate, everything is disgusting.

Everyone went all the way, took a boat across the West Lake, and saw a corner of the cornices exposed in the shade of the willow flowers, and the Mingbi Villa hidden in the mist was like a shy woman holding a pipa and half-covering her face. After walking for dozens of miles, I saw a large courtyard in front of me, and I couldn't see the edge.

In order to welcome the arrival of Gu Chaomin and his entourage, Chen Siyu took great pains to take into account the face of the saint and the reputation of the villa, but also not to be too extravagant and show his wealth. Therefore, on the basis of the original furnishings of the Chen family, all the newly purchased items are second-class products that are slightly inferior to the first-class products or even the third-class products. One is not to cause the guests to despise it, but to show the grandeur of the first village in the south of the Yangtze River; Second, you can save money.

The scene should be sufficient, but not too kitsch, after all, it is not the Son of Heaven. We can't lower our identity, and we can't slack off.

The scene should not only be embellished with magnificent decorations, but most importantly, it should be supported by people. For this reason, almost all the servants of the Chen family poured out of the nest, and all changed their clothes, shoes and socks uniformly, so as to be neat in color and simple in style.

In the end, as an independent family, Chen Zhen must appear at the dinner party before he can make the finale, otherwise he will lower his status in vain. And all the affairs during the day are only presided over by her, the eldest lady of Mingbi Villa.

At the gate of Deshan Villa, a group of sergeants on horseback reined in the halters and dismounted one after another. There were already men leading horses into the stables. The chief housekeeper Chen Hong stepped forward to announce his name, and led Gu Chaomin and his lieutenant generals, Si Yugu and several officials and squires into Zhuangzi. Gu Chaomin untied the long sword at his waist before entering the door, handed it to a young and capable lieutenant under his command, and ordered the rest of the sergeants to scatter around the manor in full gear according to the queue.

When everyone entered the villa, they saw that the courtyard in the village was scattered and the water pavilion was exquisite; terrazzo walls with white stone paving; Emerald barriers, flowers and plants flourish; Rare birds and beasts, strolling in the grass, there are more rockeries and ponds flying rainbow covered bridges into the painting, the appearance of the rich and simple manor, but the inside is sparse and smart, placed in it can not help but make people forget the feeling of things and me.

Gu Chaomin sighed secretly in his heart, and others were also amazed, and they were full of praise along the way.

Everyone marched to a three-storey attic surrounded by green trees on all sides and stopped, a white plaque was hung under the attic with the inscription "Two or Three Pavilions", behind the building was a big lake, the smoke was swirling, and the slightest water vapor, a faint leaf fragrance and the unique fat powder fragrance of the boudoir show girl could be smelled at the side of the building.

Gu Chaomin shook his face coldly, pointed at Chen Hong and said angrily: "You are so bold, why don't you take me into the main hall of the villa to meet the owner, but instead bring me to this boudoir embroidery pavilion." Don't you know that I have the emperor's order, and I can't delay it at all! ”

He glared at Si Yugu again: "Master Si, you colluded with the owner of the village and deliberately humiliated him. What are your intentions?"

Chen Hong explained unhurriedly: "The general is angry, and our master will come out." ”

He walked to the door of the attic, knocked on the door of the carved exquisite pavilion, and raised his voice to report back: "Miss, General Gu has arrived, please come out quickly to meet the guests." ”

The door opened, and two pink, white, and green maids opened the door from the left and right sides, respectively, and then silently hung their heads by the door. The inside of the house is unknown, and the light is dim. But there was a woman standing in the middle of the hall with a smile, her face was moonlight, and her skin was better than snow, like a soft wave in the darkness that lit up everyone's eyes.
