Chen Zhenji was worried about Lin Risheng's illness, and after sending away Gu Chaomin, the plague god, and the rest of the guests, he rushed to see him tirelessly. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

There were a bunch of people in front of the bed, some carrying water, delivering cloth, and arranging clothes and quilts. Chen Zhen squeezed in through the crowd, and saw Chen Siyu sitting at the head of the bed, directing the girls to do things, not messing up at all.

Lin Risheng was still unconscious, his cheeks were red, his head was full of sweat, and several girls took off his wet clothes on his body on the orders of the young lady, but his hands were clenched, his arms were wrapped around his chest, and he couldn't move no matter how he broke it.

So the girls next to the bed came to help, but the strange thing was that the sick and confused Lin Risheng was very strong. Like a tug-of-war, everyone tried several times, and finally fell like a taut broken thread. And it's like pulling a spring, the harder everyone pushes, the tighter he protects, and the tight mouth muscles bulge out, which shows that he has been gritting his teeth to fight against everyone. Chen Zhen was also curious, and stood on the edge of the bed with his hands behind his back and watched interestingly.

Chen Siyu looked at Lin Risheng with both eyes, and saw that his lips moved slightly, as if muttering to herself, she leaned down and put her ears to his ear. After listening to his words, she straightened up, her face full of joy and emotion. She thought about it, and this time she put her mouth to his ear, and moved a few times. Then, a miracle happened, he slowly sent his hands, his arms hung to his sides, and the expression on his face changed from fear and nervousness to peace and serenity.

She reached into the clothes on his chest and felt for a cloth bag near the right side. She hurriedly took it out and opened it, and when the blue pouch of blessing patterns was displayed in front of her, she cried with joy.

"He still took my words to heart." There was nothing more satisfying to her than this.

Chen Zhen, like the rest of the people, was confused, not understanding what kind of dumb riddle the two of them were playing, and not understanding how his good granddaughter began to cry when she saw a sachet, not crying sadly, but crying very happily.

Before he could ask, Xiao Hongye came in with the doctor, everyone gave way, and Chen Zhen also retreated to the table and sat down. The doctor carefully checked the pulse, and when he just had a cold and the trauma was properly treated, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Chen Zhen took the tea and moistened his dry throat, thoughtfully glanced at his granddaughter's pretty face that blended worry, happiness, tenderness and other complex expressions, and combined with the various actions she made when facing Lin Risheng today, she secretly made a decision. The woman didn't stay, he stroked his beard, smiled kindly and walked away.

Chen Siyu threw himself on Lin Risheng, and he couldn't imagine that Chen Zhen's mind had changed dramatically when he came and left.

After a day and a night of waiting, on the third night, Lin Risheng gradually woke up, Xiao Hongye handed her the medicine bowl, smiled and winked at her.

Chen Siyu quietly twisted her, she laughed out loud, facing his curious face, she covered her mouth and retreated with a red face.

A little secret between girls. Chen Siyu didn't explain, and he didn't ask much. He drank a few sips of the medicine, groggily remembered the incoherent scenes before he fainted, and when he couldn't remember the rest, he asked her: "I remember that when I came back, I was detained by several officers and soldiers, as if to ask me if I was a thief. Yes! ”

He screamed and grabbed her hand with his backhand and said, "Is there something wrong with Shui Shenbi?" ”

Chen Siyu put down the medicine bowl and said with a smile: "Yes, I lost it." It was as if it was useless waste that had been lost.

Lin Risheng sat up straight and asked anxiously, "What should I do then?" Losing the birthday gift to the emperor is a great sin, you ......"

He looked at the other party's smiling eyes, and had a kind of teasing doubt: "I was deceived again, if the water is really lost, you can still sit here with peace of mind." ”

Chen Siyu smiled and said, "You have an illness, but you have a few more hearts." It's a pity that it's not in the right place, and the water is really lost, otherwise why would those soldiers arrest you? ”

"Then why don't you send someone to find it?" Lin Risheng was used to being joked by Chen Siyu, but he still didn't believe it.

"Why should I look for it? Anyway, Shui Shenbi has nothing to do with my Chen family, why do I have to ask who it is in now, and someone will go to find it, what are you doing as an official. Chen Siyu stuffed a piece of peanut crisp into his mouth.

Lin Risheng frowned and comforted her: "The general who led the troops is fierce, and it is estimated that the thief will be caught soon." ”

Chen Siyu snorted disdainfully: "Don't mention him, that person is so annoying!" Isn't it just a prince's right guard rate, and he gives people a look at every turn. ”

She smiled coquettishly and said: "In the future, you will be a bigger official than him and kill his majesty." ”

Lin Risheng frowned and said, "Alas, it's nonsense again!" The matter of the temple is very serious, so let you be so childish, I have neither the talent to govern the country in the world, nor the ability to kill and decide, how can I be a slaughterer for the official? ”

Chen Siyu pouted: "How can you be so arrogant? I see that you are kind and tolerant, benevolent and open-minded, how can you not become a pillar of the country? ”

Lin Risheng said lightly: "People are self-aware, not everyone is born with omnipotence in astronomy and geography. A gentleman may not be able to be an official, and being an official may not be a villain. I just want to be a gentleman, not a villain. ”

Chen Siyu restrained the laughter of her daughter's family, and said with a straight face: "I understand your thoughts." ”

"Miss." The door opened a crack, and Xiao Hongye probed in, waving his hand at her hurriedly, urging her to come out.

Chen Siyu walked out of the door and closed the door. Xiao Hongye pulled her to the shadows, her voice trembling with panic: "Miss, Bai Linglin is gone!" There have been a lot of things at home these days, and the director of Dianmao has temporarily moved from morning to evening, and just now Chen Li came to report that Bai Linglin was missing. I went to her room to check and found that the bed was clean, but the clothes and jewelry were gone. She must have absconded in fear of crime, do you think she stole it? ”

Chen Siyu held his forehead and thought for a while, and said with a smile: "Don't panic, wait for a few people to go to the government to report the case, just say that there is a girl lost at home, don't talk about anything else." It doesn't matter if she is a thief or not, just hand it over to the government for investigation. ”

The incident of the sinking of the water did not bring a huge wave to the stability of the Chen family, everything was still running as usual, and those who waited to see the Chen family's bad luck finally gave up their hopes. During this period, although some officials came to investigate and inquire, they did not find anything after all. The Chen family said that no one in the Chen family had ever been to the ancestral hall, and the people who guarded the Chen family's manor that day were all Gu Chaomin's subordinates, and the key was also handed over to Master Si, they really had no responsibility, except for the people who were recruited to serve, the master and the subordinates stayed in their own rooms, and no one went out.

The calm of the Chen family does not mean that Chang'an City is also gentle. The emperor was displeased, because it was related to his health. It is also a good thing for people to take advantage of this to make waves, and even use Dali Temple, but there is still no result.

So it was rumored that this thief had three heads and six arms, and all kinds of changes were made, and the consequence of the false rumor was to demonize the treasure thief into an inhuman demon. In order to stabilize the hearts of the people, the emperor instructed that the case be hastily closed on the surface, but the case was not allowed to be closed for one day if the thief Dali Temple was not caught.

A month later, news came from Chang'an City about the final handling of Shui Shenbi, Gu Chaomin was suspended for a year, and all the guards involved in transporting Shui Shenbi were demoted. Si Yugu was more miserable, he was greatly degraded and degraded all the way to Qiongzhou.

In this month, Chen Siyu was not idle. In order to minimize the anger of the saint, she used the excuse of apology to draw the finest quality silk and tea from the Chen's silk and tea estates scattered throughout the Jianghuai, as well as various scholarly utensils and exquisite handicrafts that were difficult to obtain in the north, and paid tribute to the saint with the power of officials from all over Hangzhou who were also likely to be punished.

When a large number of horse-drawn carriages carrying Chen's tribute drove through Zhuque Street, it still shocked the entire Chang'an City, and countless people of Chang'an City finally saw the prosperity of the silk weaving industry and commodities in the south up close. Compared with the uninspired gold jewelry, these strange knick-knacks are often more pleasing to the ladies of the palace, especially those concubines who are born in the beautiful girls of the south of the Yangtze River, because these things are not only decorations but also carry their strong homesickness.

Behind these carriages lies her greater ambitions. She hoped that the Chen family would be able to use this huge tribute to let those in power see the strength of their Chen family, so that they could become legitimate and obedient to the emperor as soon as possible. Before that, she needs to make enough efforts, even if this ambition cannot be realized, at the last time, she will have to move her Chen family's business from Jianghuai to the north of the Yangtze River. She has already begun to set up the first Chen's silk village in Chang'an City, although this requires a lot of cost, or this is simply a money-losing business, after all, Chang'an is thousands of miles away from Hangzhou, but this difficult first step is also the most critical step. If she can use this silk village to gain a foothold in Chang'an, then she can open up the trade routes in the south and north of the Yangtze River, and the unification of the north and south commerce is just around the corner.

When the housekeeper Chen Hong excitedly depicted the Chen tribute to the two masters and drove into Chang'an, attracting the grand occasion of thousands of empty alleys. Chen Siyu clapped his hands proudly and smiled, and his tone was quite like a general's commanding spirit: "It's good now, the name of our Mingbi Villa is already in Chang'an City, I want to seize this opportunity to make our Chen family's business road to Chang'an." I want to let Chang'an City buy our Chen family's silk, tea, and fans everywhere, and I want our Chen family not only to become the largest village in the south of the Yangtze River, but also to cross the Yangtze River and go all the way to the north of the Yangtze River. ”

Chen Zhen proudly stroked his beard and waved his hand to order Chen Hong to retreat. He nodded and smiled kindly: "It's good that you have this ambition, but the most important thing for a daughter's family is to find a good family, you must know that no matter how much money you make, you can't compare to a person who feels sorry for you." I also know you, I like Lin Risheng. ”

Chen Siyu's cheeks were red, and the arrogance just now was scattered by Chen Zhen's fluttering words. She tugged at her handkerchief and bowed her head shyly.

Chen Zhen sighed and sighed: "Alas, our Chen family is a family of business travelers, and they have been doing business for generations, and they are not as good as the poetry and book etiquette that they have pushed by those official eunuchs, otherwise I would not agree with your housekeeper." I'll make it clear to you today, I've seen it for many days, he is indeed a good boy who is generous and benevolent, like your aunt and not like his father, who is unkind, and once he is developed, he will abandon his wife who is bad, if it weren't for the fact that the child is good, I will never agree to your dealings with the Lin family. ”

He accentuated his tone: "But there is a scandal I can say ahead, if Lin Risheng wants to marry you, it is not impossible, unless he is willing to agree to get married, it is impossible for the two of you to get married." ”

"Money?" Chen Siyu cross-examined: "Grandpa, you are too strong, after all, Lin Risheng is the only male in the Lin family's house, if you want him to join and don't talk about him, I'm afraid his father may not agree." ”

Chen Zhen held her shoulder: "This is your business, you have to understand my good intentions, and you can't get carried away by love." One is that you can't repeat the mistakes of your godaunt, I can rest assured when I look at him, and second, you are the only blood and blood of my Chen family, if you leave, I will hand over this huge Zhuangzi to whom, if your two future children can be surnamed Chen, they can also continue the incense for my Chen family! ”

He firmly gave his granddaughter confidence: "If you can say that Lin Risheng agrees to join the family, I will immediately give you a happy event." ”

He stroked his palms and laughed: "Don't worry, as long as Lin Risheng agrees, his father has me, after all, he still has to call me father-in-law, I like his son as my grandson-in-law, he can not sell my face." It would be better if he could go to Chang'an to take a fame test, and then we would find a way to find someone to dredge him up, and send him out to Hangzhou to be a local parent official. We are a family of officials and businessmen. Then the two of you will tie the knot, and you'll be all four. ”

Chen Siyu put his hands on his cheeks, looking out the window at the drizzle. She didn't want to leave home, she didn't want to give up her career. But how can we say that Lin Risheng is moving? Could it be that love alone could move him? She puffed out her cheeks and exhaled, her head hanging limply.
