Chapter 250: Qin Huai's Lost Pearl 1
After noon, Chu Chen returned to the mansion. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
He doesn't like to eat melons and fruits, and if Su's eyes are eager, the Taifu who has a lot of opportunities can only deign to nibble on a piece of watermelon, such a moist thing, he didn't even drop a drop of melon juice.
Ruosu looked at him greedily, this food was so good-looking, it stimulated her appetite, and she also ate a piece of melon.
But she was not so lucky, the red melon juice in the water ran down the corner of her lips all the way to her neck, wetting the snow-white collar.
Chu Chen frowned: "What an adult, eat slowly, no one will rob you!" β
Ruosu is very wronged, not everyone is as graceful as Chu Chen, she is always a Taishan upright and stable, she is an ordinary daughter, and she is not even as stable and virtuous as a deep boudoir woman.
"What do you think about the feast? Everyone in the DPRK and China knows that you and I have come to Jinling to participate in the competition, and presumably Yin of Tianfu Mansion has already heard that he will come to invite him sooner or later. Ruosu simply stopped eating.
Chu Chen took a brocade from his wide sleeve and wiped her mouth, her mood was easily affected by her, although it was beneficial to practice, but I was really afraid that in the long run, it would inevitably be extremely opposite.
He had never married a wife in his previous life, and he had never experienced the affairs of Zhidun/Lun, and he didn't know if it would affect that place if it continued like this for a long time...... He has always been confident, but this time, he is inexplicably worried.
Looking away from the slightly opened red lips, he quietly pinched Ruosu's medical book, and unconsciously flipped through it: "The people invited by Master Ge are not only you and me, but also several famous families in this family medicine king competition, how could Wen Tianyou let go of the opportunity to meet you." β
He said this with obvious displeasure.
Ruosu didn't want to quibble: "Then we have to go?" β
Chu Chen's eyes were faint, his long eyelashes were tucked into his eyebrows, and under the interweaving of light and shadow, he became more and more elegant, like a handsome man who came out of a landscape painting: "You don't want to go?" He looked up, his gaze exploring.
Ruo Su didn't understand why he asked, "What about you?" I'm not sure, I don't really want to go, but if the other contestants also show up, I don't have a reason not to go. As for Master Wen, if he goes or not, what does it have to do with me! β
Chu Chen was pleased by Ruo Su's words, it is true, where Wen Tianyou is, it has nothing to do with his Su Su.
He smiled handsomely in her faint gaze: "If you go, I will naturally go too, so it's okay, the night is too long, you and I hug each other and sleep..... I'm not afraid of 10,000 if I don't know what happens, and when I come back in the middle of the night, I'm sleepy, and it's not easy to go wrong. β
Ruosu: "....... Did you lie to me? There's no such thing as practicing at all, right? How could there be such a practice, why hadn't she heard of it: "How did you practice with people who didn't have a body around you before?" β
Chu Chen didn't speak, he suddenly leaned over, pecked heavily on the two chattering pink lips, and turned to leave: "It's not early, you change your clothes, I'll pick you up later." β
Ruo Su was stunned on the spot, always feeling that Chu Chen had done something behind her back!
The so-called night banquet, before the sun sets, the guests will arrive one after another, and there will be no time for a greeting.
But it's just now, and it's too early.
Chu Chen went to the study, Wang Pu was already standing respectfully beside the table, and he handed over a roster: "Master, this is the list of invitations received, and my subordinates checked them one by one, and found nothing wrong, please take a look." β
On the black and white paper, the names of twenty-three people were written neatly, Chu Chen and Ruosu were ranked at the top, the third was Wen Tianyou, and further down were all contestants from the highly respected Qihuang family. In addition, there are also officials of Ying Tianfu, all of whom are inconspicuous little people, and Chu Chen doesn't care.
He leaned back on the Dongpo chair, and his eyebrows were twisted into a shallow 'Chuan' character.
Who exactly is the 'royal man'?
The few clues left behind were also quietly erased.
Person... Have no bottom!
Chu Chen didn't like it very much, the feeling that the situation was not under his control, Zhu Hongye was his number one enemy at the beginning, he didn't plan to get rid of him too early, and if he kept Zhu Hongye in one day, he would be able to drag the Qiao family into the water, but he didn't think that someone in the harem did it first, although it saved him trouble, but the Qiao family had Qiao Ruo, but he still couldn't stand.
In the previous life, Zhu Hongye was the emperor, the Qiao family was a one-person Taoist, the chicken and dog ascended to heaven, and in the second year, Bai Qishan was forced to a dead end, as for Bai Ruosu, the Qiao family was even more desperate.
Now it seems that there is no threat to the Qiao family, at least not at the moment, even if Qiao Ruo regrets giving birth to a prince, Uncle Qiao tries to control the government as the uncle of the country, but without the help of his Chu Chen, it is almost impossible for the Qiao family to succeed.
The Qiao family can 'put it down' for the time being.
And this 'royal man' made Chu Chen confused for a while, why was he hiding in Jinling?
"Let's go and check out Lord Ge, who he has had close contacts with in recent years, how much private property he has in his family, and whether there are suspicious people in close friends between the DPRK and China, you should not miss it." Chu Chen commanded.
Wang Pu was ordered to retreat: "Yes!" Master. β
The window lattice is hung with louvered bead curtains, and the oblique sunlight casts a black and white streak, reflecting the bluestone floor slightly desolate.
The past is like smoke, but everything is like a thorn, and his heart hurts like a knife.
In his previous life, he was not without suspicions, he even inadvertently found out about Zhu Hongye's wolf ambitions, but he still let it go....... He thought that she could be a mother in the world, and he thought that others would cherish her like him, but who expected, only the white bone scars were left, which stabbed the eyes of the old man.
Could this royal man be Zhu Hongye? Is it possible for him to return to Jinling from the northern frontier?
Is there really a destiny that cannot be violated?
He's going to go against the sky!
This person must be eliminated!
Chu Chen's guess was interrupted by Mo Yan's knock on the door, he straightened his clothes, and the moment he opened the door, he returned to his handsome and elegant demeanor.
"The White Maiden called you?" Chu Chen asked.
Mo Yan lowered his face and nodded.
Ruosu changed into a skirt of flowers and dragged the floor, wore a hehuan top, tied a snow wool silk cloak on the outside, and the green silk coiled into a cloud bun, but a hosta with a hanging bead chain was inserted obliquely, giving people a sense of leisure and freshness.
There is no over-embellishment, but it is also the most appropriate grooming.
Chu Chen entered the courtyard, took the veil prepared in advance and put it on for her, and then led her out.
Qiao Yun and Mo Yan followed closely behind.
----------
The golden afterglow reflects the water and sky. The night of the Qinhuai River has just begun.
Two hours ago, Ruosu was taken by Chu Chen to a wine shop, and Chu Chen said to her: "The night banquet is full of people, it is not easy for you to take off the veil, it is better to eat first now." β
So, she was forced to feed half a crispy duck, and drank a bowl of red date bird's nest porridge, which was a little bent at the moment.
The song and dance workshop is different from the Qinglou, where literati and scholars often gather, and women will occasionally attend.
Lord Yin Ge of the Mansion chartered the entire song and dance workshop, and the outside was surrounded by officials and servants, and no one else was allowed to enter.
Chu Chen led Ruosu to sit in the VIP seat, Ruosu has been wearing a veil, only revealing a pair of beautiful eyes, Wen Tianyou sat down not far from her, swept his eyes, and snorted lightly: Only Chu Chen treats her as a treasure and protects her every step!
Wen Tianyou didn't know why, but he couldn't see Chu Chen and Ruosu getting close.
He didn't even notice this sour grapes mentality.
Lord Ge is over five years old, but still ink hair heroic, he brought his wife to come, the lady is wearing a cyan embroidered branch pattern of the dress, wearing a set of peacock green jade bead chain on the head, the jade beads are round and transparent, very uniform, carved peacock jade color is green and moist, work and color are the top grade.
On the official position of the marquis, Chu Chen was the most prominent present, Lord Ge first led his wife to the VIP seat and made an introduction: "Xia Guan participated in Chu Taifu, Tai Fu appreciated his face to the banquet, Xia Guan was grateful, Qin Huai night banquet is the tradition of the Medicine King Contest over the years, Lord Tai Fu can deign to come, it is the blessing of my people in Jinling." β
This is really not a good rumor.
Lord Ge was respectful on his face, but Ruo Su tasted the taste of Emperor Shangao, even if Chu Chen was a member of the court in the first rank, Jinling Mansion was decided by Lord Yin.
Chu Chen's cold eyes are quiet, like a bay of ice springs, and he hits people's hearts inch by inch: "Lord Ge doesn't have to be polite, the official has taken a leave, and this time he is also accompanying his fiancΓ©e to participate in the competition. β
Master Ge touched his beard, he boasted of his rich qualifications, how could he have a city government than the twenty-three-year-old young Taifu, and now seeing that Chu Chen was not as ruthless as the legend, he relaxed his vigilance at the moment.
"Isn't this the fiancΓ©e of Master Taifu? Xia Guan has admired the name for a long time. β
Before Ruosu could speak, Chu Chen hurriedly said: "My wife is very naughty, and she keeps getting into trouble, and the Medicine King Contest has to rely on Lord Ge to support her." β
Ruo Su looked at Chu Chen very strangely, a person like him would also meet the trend?
What is 'Azuma'?
When did she get naughty and get into trouble?
Lord Ge was even more cheerful: "How dare Xia Guan, when Lord Taifu is free, you can bring the white girl to the cold house, Xia Guan's family has accumulated a lot of files of the Medicine King Competition over the years, which can be seen by the white girl." β
Chu Chen said: "Then the official is not welcome." β
Ruosu: "......."
Lord Ge's vanity was completely satisfied in the Taifu of the current dynasty, and then he introduced Ruosu to his wife: "Madam, this is the white girl, the disciple of Zhen's miracle doctor." β
He had heard of Ruosu's name, but he had never put her in his eyes, and now she is just a beautiful woman, there is really no other place to stand out, and there is no shortage of beauties in the song and dance workshop.
Mrs. Ge smiled at Ruo Suwan'er, looked at the woman like a flower, she didn't like it a little in her heart, so she didn't say much.
At this time, Master Ge led his wife to sit down and exchanged a few words with Wen Tianyou.
The officials of Ying Tianfu also brought their wives to the banquet, and in the end, they were all low-level sesame officials, and they didn't dare to come forward to disturb the elegance of Chu Chen and Wen Tianyou.
Outside the private room, there is a table, and the young woman is holding the lute, and her slender hands skillfully pluck the strings, and the music is beautiful.
Ruo Su found that most of the doctors who came to participate in the competition were about forty or fifty years old, and there were even seventy or eighty old men, all of whom were arrogant and boasted of being heavenly, and some puppets would cast curious glances, looked at Ruo Su, and then ignored the general and continued to listen to the music.
"Zhen Jian has been fighting for the medicine king for three years, and this time it can be regarded as planting."
"What kind of person did I think it was? It's just a little girl. β
"It's just a useless vase, but it's also worth waiting for me to come to compete? I knew that Zhen Jian would retire to the rivers and lakes, so I wouldn't have taken this trip. β
The contestants are all doctors from famous families around the world, and the family medicine skills can be traced back to a hundred years, and each nostril is facing the sky.
Now, they are no longer curious about the appearance of the descendants of the Zhen family, and they are all looking at the singer on the stage with greedy eyes.
Like young and beautiful women, it is a common problem for men of every age, regardless of whether he is weak and young, or smooth ears and white hair, they are all pretty women who like to be twenty-eight years old.
More than half of the feast, the wine is in full swing.
A cacophony rang out in the air.
"Dead!"
"Someone drowned!"
"It's Pei everyone!"
"Pei everyone is drowning!"
Ruo Su was startled and unconsciously grabbed Chu Chen's hand.
Pei everyone... Isn't it Pei Yu? She has lived on the banks of the Qinhuai River for so many years, how could she drown in a good way?
Chu Chen held Ruosu's hand: "Don't be afraid, Mo Yan will check it out when he hears the movement." "He seemed calm.
This kind of calmness made Ruosu a little afraid of him, Pei Yu died, why was he not moved at all, although she was a chess piece, she also did so many things for him!
"I'm not afraid, I'm .... I'm worried. β
Wen Tianyou's gaze shot over, Ruosu felt it, she wondered if Wen Tianyou saw something, so she adjusted her state, and quickly returned to her appearance as if nothing happened, turned her face sideways to look at Wen Tianyou, and smiled at him.
The woman's face is wearing a light veil, and her delicate facial features are faintly visible, which is even more seductive than taking off the veil.
Wen Tianyou no longer looked at her, and there was an anger in his chest.
Who allowed her to smile at herself!
What a daring!
He felt a little bored, so he looked for an opportunity to go out.
