The carriage of the Hou Mansion in Zhenbei traveled to the Yulao Hutong and was forced to stop by a tall horse.
Mo Yan lifted the curtain of the carriage and whispered a few words in Chu Chen's ear, through the curtain of the blue silk cloth of the lake, Ruo Su saw Wen Tianyou wearing the regular clothes of the dark brocade robe, riding alone in the carriage, he was surrounded by the scorching sun of July, shining on his facial features hidden in a mixture of light and shadow.
Ruo Su glanced at him, and Wen Tianyou also looked at her.
He is the commander of the Jinyi Guard, which is equivalent to the spy leader in the world, what else does he not know about the capital?
Bai Ling gave birth last night, Zhenbei Hou Mansion is not far from the Bai family, Ruo Su will definitely go back to the mansion to visit today, and Chu Chen will definitely not let her stay in the Bai Mansion for a while, he calculated this time, this place, is waiting here.
At the mouth of the alley, there is a poplar with a crooked neck, listlessly blowing the green leaves on the branches with the wind, as if it is broad daylight, quiet to the extreme.
Chu Chen saw his little wife's slightly stupid gaze, looked out again, and reached out to take out Xu Xiake's travelogue in the dark cabinet on the inner wall of the carriage, and his voice was as usual; "Be nice, don't run around, read this book first, I'll be back in a while."
After she lost her mind, Chu Chen would always coax her in everything, like a child.
Ruo Su would not know about the entanglement between her and Wen Tianyou, let alone Chu Chen's pretending to be calm, and the turbulent helplessness in her heart. She retracted her gaze, her eyes fell on Chu Chen's face, and finally she couldn't resist the coercion in his eyes, and responded glutinously: "Oh." β
It sounds reluctant.
Chu Chen looked stunned, I don't understand when she didn't hate Wen Tianyou, according to his investigation, she used to be extremely resistant to Wen Tianyou in the Wen family, and even in this life, she still regarded him as a tiger and wolf, but now she didn't have such a retreating disgust in her eyes.
Chu Chen pulled down the curtain of the carriage, and ordered Wang Pu and Mo Yan to stay outside the carriage, and only then did he take a few steps forward until he reached the front of the tall horse.
Wen Tianyou is used to being arrogant, and now he has nothing to lose, so he is even more arrogant, and when he sees Da Sima, he does not dismount and salute, and he narrows his eyes and says: "There is a tea shop in Mingqintang on the east and west streets of the city, I don't know if Lord Chu can appreciate his face and go over with the lower officials." He glanced in the direction of the carriage and said, "The white girl had better go with her." β
In the end, I still couldn't call out the word 'Mrs. Chu'.
Even if she has nothing to do with him, he is only willing to treat her as a white girl, and will never be Mrs. Chu.
Wen Tianyou has nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, and the assassins were all handed over to him for interrogation that day, with his means and connections, he will get twice the result with half the effort, Chu Chen boasts that his vision is higher than ordinary people, and he will never be ashamed of himself because of Wen Tianyou's existence, or suffer from gains and losses.
His wife can only be his, and it is useless for anyone to care. As long as the little wife's heart is on him, it will be in vain for anyone to come.
Why not go for a cup of tea!
After half a pillar of incense, the carriage of the Hou Mansion in Zhenbei stopped at Mingqin Hall, Wen Tianyou also got off the horse, the people who can open a teahouse in this area are either rich or expensive, they have all seen the world, and there are people behind them, the shopkeeper recognized Chu Chen and Wen Tianyou at a glance, and greeted him in person: "Two adults, please." He immediately shouted to the guys in the hall: "Why don't you go and make a pot of the best Hanyang mist tea this year!" β
The shopkeeper personally commanded, the guys in the store did not dare to slack off, and in just a few moments, the teahouse has been surrounded by the guards, impermeable, it can be seen how noble the person who came, and the delicate little woman, how can ordinary people have such a color! The night pearl on the phoenix hairpin on her head alone brightened the man's eyes.
Jin Fengchai, who dares to wear it easily! If you don't do it, you will be charged with a big rebellion.
Actually, Ruosu didn't know these rules, but the things in her room were all brought by Chu Chen, and she saw that the pearl was white and shiny that night, and it was priceless at first glance, so she was coaxed by Chu Chen to put it on.
The chic Jingyi, Chu Chen, and Wen Tianyou sat down in the private room on the second floor, and Ruosu was pulled by Chu Chen to sit beside him, which was undoubtedly a declaration of ownership to Wen Tianyou.
Mo Yan and Wang Pu stayed outside the door, and after a while, the man came up with a tea set and a tea that had just been brewed with accumulated snow water.
Ruo Su still held the travelogue that Chu Chen had stuffed into her earlier in her other hand, she was wearing a light yellow soft cigarette today, lined with bright complexion, because she was thirsty, she first took the Eight Immortal Lotus White Porcelain Tea Cup, and poured herself a cup of tea, completely ignoring the two powerful people of the dynasty.
Anyway....... The two men beside him seemed to have important matters to discuss in detail, and they had no intention of drinking tea.
You don't need good tea, if you put it here, wouldn't it be a tyrannical thing!
Chu Chen spoiled her to the bone, and he wouldn't be angry with her at all because of this little thing, she could drink as much as she wanted; Wen Tianyou will not look down on her much, as long as she is happy, and even if he gives up on her, he can make her happy, then he will do it.
Chu Chen whispered a few words to Mo Yan, and after a while, he saw him walk in from outside the door, holding a black lacquer square plate in his hand, walked to the table, and laid out the food.
There are glutinous white lotus root, rose tofu, chrysanthemum eight treasures, hawthorn smoothie and ...... The steaming steamed buns smell like pork filling.
Ruosu suddenly remembered that she had mentioned that she wanted to eat steamed buns last night, but she didn't expect Chu Chen to remember, she ate a few bites of smoothie first, and her mouth was sweet and sour and refreshing. Did I bother you both? Do you need to avoid it? I don't want to inquire about the secrets of the imperial court. β
The more you know, the sooner you die.
Chu Chen's sexy lips twitched suddenly, put his fist against his lips, coughed, and said to her gently: "Guess for my husband, Master Wen must have something to ask you today, you be well-behaved, sit still after eating." β
Does that sound weird? She's not a child? You can still run!
Wen Tianyou's thin lips moved slightly, but he still swallowed all the words he wanted to say, he also felt that Ruosu was too thin, he should eat more, and after she ate a few bites, he said: "After the two of you left the princess's mansion that day and were assassinated, not long after I brought the assassin back to the edict, everyone died." β
Ruosu took a sip of tea and cleared his mouth, looked up and suddenly asked, "Did you commit suicide?" β
Chu Chen tasted the tea, knowing that the little wife was very curious, but ...... He wanted to know what it was that made her have some kind of tacit understanding with Wen Tianyou before, and she could see it more thoroughly in this unconscious 'tea game'.
Wen Tianyou's eagle eyes glanced at Chu Chen's face, and he couldn't help but wonder, with his strong and domineering temperament, he could let Ruo Su Haosheng sit here and talk to him?
However, it is rare to have such an opportunity, and it will be difficult to see her in the future.
Wen Tianyou said: "It's not suicide, after inspection, these people have been poisoned in advance, even if they are not caught by the Jinyi Guard and the forbidden army, they will definitely die in less than half an hour, it can be seen that the person behind this scene may not want to put the two of you to death, as for what the other party's purpose is, I don't know yet, I don't know what Lord Chu thinks?" β
Chu Chen remembered the words of the leader in black that day: I won't hurt my life, I just came to give a big gift?!
What a gift?
These people obviously didn't expect Ruo Su to stop the poison in his body so quickly, giving him a chance to take precautions.
Chu Chenjian frowned, he didn't like anything beyond his control, and now he can keep Wen Tianyou, but also because this person can't make big waves for a while, after a hundred years of General Wen, Northern Xinjiang still needs a competent and justified general to guard, he Wen Tianyou had better stay in Northern Xinjiang in the future and not return to Beijing!
The assassination may not be the one involved! Chu Chen's gaze lingered on Ruosu's face that had already raised baby fat for a few moments, and he couldn't figure it out, but at the moment, cooperating with Wen Tianyou was undoubtedly a shortcut.
Chu Chen's voice was low: "Something to do with my wife?" β
Ruo Su drooped her head, and the light of the night pearl reflected her smooth forehead, which was clearly cunning and enduring, and people thought how simple and stupid she was.
"Something to do with me? Love killing? Vendetta? Or ....." she couldn't think of any other reason.
Chu Chen raised his eyebrows: "Don't talk yet, you might as well listen to what Master Wen has to say!" His tone seemed to be reprimanding, but it became sweet words in the ears of others.
Wen Tianyou poured a cup of tea violently, thinking that he could face it calmly, but he never thought that it would come to an end, and it was still cutting people's hearts. If he had believed in her and spoiled her from the beginning, he would have been the one who said these things to her now.
But the past in this world will never be irreversible, even if you have the ability to manipulate the sky, you can't do anything.
Wen Tianyou found his voice in a whispering eardrum: "I have been reading the dossier in the past few days, and I know that the first emperor is particularly persistent in alchemy, and the eldest prince ---- that is, Zhu Yao was also obsessed with alchemy, according to the spies I planted outside, in addition to collecting money to kill people, the annual investment in alchemy alone is as much as 10,000 taels, the white girl is under the tutelage of Zhen Jian, and Zhen Jian disappeared for no reason two years ago, and the people under my hand have been looking for it, but it is looking for a needle in a haystack, and he seems to have completely disappeared. I guess----- could there be some connection between these things? β
As soon as the scriptures were analyzed, Chu Chen also seemed to smell something.
Regarding the old emperor's vain attempt to ascend to immortality and devote himself to studying alchemy, it was known to the whole dynasty, and Wang Chonglin, the young owner of the Wang family, had gained a lot of benefits because of the offering of medicine.
But Zhu Yao, he doesn't want to fight for the throne? Will he think about immortality?
This is simply nonsense! The Impossible!
So what was Zhu Yao leading his troops into the capital for at the beginning? Didn't he also kill Zhu Yunhong with his own hands?
Ruosu almost squirted out a sip of tea: "So.... Did the other party want to catch me and give him medicine? But what about my master? Could his sudden disappearance also have something to do with Zhu Yao? Also, I am not the only one in the Zhen family, why are the people in Miao Village not persecuted? β
Chu Chen looked at the vivid speech of his little wife's eyebrows, and suddenly his heart was like a boulder thrown into a mirror lake, churning up a layer of huge waves, and he was distressed.
Is she destined for disaster? Why did someone find her again!
"Don't worry, I'll do everything." Chu Chen still said gently, and sandwiched a hot bun for her.
Chu Chen and Wen Tianyou looked at each other, and both of them seemed to have ideas, but they were not easy to speak in front of Ruosu, so they ended the tea tasting.
-------------
Wen Tianyou came out of Mingqin Hall and rode on the good horse, until the carriage of Zhenbei Hou disappeared from view, he came back to his senses, and the dazzling sunlight reflected in his deep eyes, but it was still cold.
The henchman walked out of the shadows and arched his hand: "My lord, the eighth princess has woken up, and she is clamoring to see you now." β
Wen Tianyou's brows furrowed impatiently.
This Zhu family is about to change hands, what else is the eighth princess of Laoshizi, I really think that I am still the golden branch favored by the old emperor!
Wen Tianyou turned the carriage and rode in the direction of Dali Temple, when the Wumen coup d'Γ©tat, most of the files in the yamen were burned by the new monarch, but the Dali Temple was well preserved, and if you want to know more about the unknown past, you still need to start from there.
One of the current Shaoqing of Dali Temple is Wen Tianyou's old department, but few people know about this matter, which also brings him a lot of convenience.
When Chu Chen and Ruosu returned to the Hou Mansion, they had already arrived at the lamp, and they had said goodbye to Wen Tianyou from Mingqin Hall, Chu Chen saw that his little wife was not in a high mood, and he also knew that there must be Wen Tianyou's factor in it, and he would never admit that his charm was not enough or inferior to Wen Tianyou.
Treat women always to coax some, warm and hard.
So, halfway Chu Chen ordered the groom to change the route and went to the north of the city to paint the boat, around which there are many clothing shops, paper horse shops, jewelry shops, ready-to-wear shops, plus teahouses and restaurants. Da Sima gave up the official duties of the court and the central government, accompanied his wife to eat, drink and have fun for an afternoon, spent the money of flowing water, and hated to serve his wife and do it himself.
This matter spread to the ears of the family in your circle as quickly as it had wings.
Some people began to wonder: "Didn't the Great Sima and the Queen Mother secretly Chen Cang?" Da Sima is amazing, and his face is a good color. β
Ruo Su naturally didn't know that he was pulled out by Chu Chen to act in a play today, and he didn't know the depth of the scheming of the one in Cining Palace.
Chu Beiyan's study, Liu Shihuai came to see with an injury, as for who cut his arm, no one dared to mention it, Chu Beiyan also heard some details from Mrs. Hou, although he didn't appreciate Chu Chen's behavior, but as long as he was a man, he would protect his wife.
He acquiesced to the matter and did not pursue it any further.
Chu Beiyan is very important to Liu Shihuai, he will try to be the first, then went to Sichuan as an official, a few years of political performance is acceptable, is a rare talent, and he is quite a study of the law, is the best in the same branch of the Gongsheng, how can the mood is too ruthless, rather than let him serve in the Inspectorate, it is better to transfer to Dali Temple.
But now...... What the hell did this man think about murdering his own daughter-in-law! It is impossible to write off this matter, so Chu Beiyan has a wait-and-see attitude towards Liu Shihuai, after all, he is Mrs. Hou's nephew, and he can't be completely wiped out because he had bad intentions.
The housekeeper was ordered to come in and report: "Master Hou, the prince and the eldest grandmother are back, Mrs. Bai is happy to have a daughter, Lord Bai is estimated to return to Beijing in the near future, do you see if our Hou Mansion should also back up the gift!" β
The middle-aged daughter in the family should be congratulated.
Liu Shihuai and Chu Beiyan talked a few words, and felt that the time was almost up, so he gave up his hand and retired: "Uncle, Shihuai won't bother, he will come to the house to drink with you again in the future, and Shihuai will leave!" β
Liu Shihuai has not yet been reused in the Inspectorate, and the temporary appointment of the post of supervising the imperial history is really overkill for him, which shows that Chu Chen is still wary of him or still has not forgiven him for his mistakes last time.
He avoided Chu Chen and Ruosu, and walked out of the Zhenbei Hou Mansion from the corner gate, and when he got on the horse, he glanced back at the Hou Mansion where Zhong Ming was eating, and was full of doubts: Chu Chen is a person like him, would he really worry about me for a woman?!
Liu Shihuai still can't believe that Chu Chen will use a knife to cut him, you must know that he can become Chu Chen's most powerful help and helper, and his sister-in-law has been devoted to Chu Chen for many years, so Qin Jin is good, why doesn't Chu Chen want it!
Liu Shihuai was puzzled!
It's impossible to figure it out even in this life!
Liu Huanting's attempt to commit suicide was blocked tightly, and Liu Shihuai was also injured on her arm that had not healed, so her sister was worried, so she didn't go to see her, so the two didn't see her.
The dinner was set up in the front hall, with Chu Beiyan sitting at the head, Chu Chen and Ruosu sitting on the east side of the table, Mrs. Hou, Chu Lan and Liu Huanting also attended, but there was one other person.
This person is Xu Xiang who has thirty-three, Chu Chen has promoted him many times, Chu Beiyan is in charge of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, he naturally knows, and he has seen Xu Xiang several times in Datong, he is indeed a useful person, the only drawback is that he has been bitter and cold since he was a child, he is not literate, and he will not be able to recite poems against him, and he has a very good set of leading troops to fight.
Xu Xiang is a foreign man, today is a family banquet, Chu Chen specially asked Xu Xiang to attend, the purpose is self-evident.
However, is it for Chu Lan? Or Liu Huanting? Neither of them took the matter on themselves. Chu Lan thought that Chu Chen had arranged an alternative 'look' in order to get rid of Liu Huanting earlier, Chu Lan was not surprised, what else could her brother not do?
At the beginning, in order to please the little sister-in-law, she did everything she could.
And Liu Huanting only wants to marry Chu Chen, this is her belief in this life, not to mention a vulgar country man like Xu Xiang, she won't even look at it, so she naturally thinks that the Chu family is looking for a new husband for Chu Lan.
Mrs. Hou's face is ugly, no matter what attention Chu Chen is paying attention to, she is ten thousand dissatisfied with Xu Xiang.
But Chu Beiyan and Chu Chen didn't think so.
Wenchen has the advantage of Wenchen, but the military general is not useless, just reading the sage book, holding a pen to paint and write poems is a good man?
Definitely!
During the banquet, everyone was silent, Xu Xiang was even more nervous, and when the banquet was over, he followed Chu Chen to the study with relief, lowered his head, his hands tightly clutched the corners of his clothes, and his tone was not smooth: "..... Lord Chu, if there is nothing else, retire first! β
He has lived for half his life, and he has never seen a few ladies, let alone eat at the same table!
Aren't men and women at the same table at the age of seven? This really scared him, and the sweat dripped down his cheeks.
In fact, Xu Xiang is very handsome, with straight facial features, tall figure, does he have any bad habits, he didn't hear Chu Chen speak, and looked up at him: "Master Chu, the humble position understands what you mean, but the humble position is less than 100 taels a year, how can you pamper everyone!" β
How much he wanted to say at this time: Master Chu, you just let go of your humble position.
Chu Chen flipped through a few battle reports sent from Liaodong, and looked at Xu Xiang with raised eyebrows: "You really don't like any of them?" β
You must know that although Liu Huanting is old, she still has a little beauty, and Chu Lan, although she has been reconciled, she is a girl from the Chu family, her identity is different, and it is not impossible to find a suitable Langjun.
Chu Chen singled out Xu Xiang, just to see that this person is a real man, calm, strong, and has no wife, children and mothers at home, only one sister, and will soon be out of the cabinet.
It doesn't matter if you don't have a family background, he can promote him!
As for the silver!
The Chu family will be short of silver if they marry their daughter!
Xu Xiang's legs began to weaken, don't like it? How can you not like it? Although he lowered his eyes throughout the banquet, he could glimpse one or two from the corner of his eye, Liu Huanting and Chu Lan were one of the few beauties he had ever seen.
Xu Xiang didn't say a word.
Chu Chen put down the Chinese book in his hand, leaned lazily on the back of the round chair of rosewood, his eyes were as deep as absorbing people's souls, in fact, he didn't want to marry Chu Lan too early, after all, it was his sister-in-law, no matter how ruthless he was, he couldn't be ruthless to a woman.
Then marry Liu Huanting!
"If you don't speak, then I'll make the decision for you! Miss Liu is twenty-six this year, her father is a Tongzhi in Shanxi, the Liu family is not a famous family, but it is also a big family, marry her..... You shouldn't be aggrieved. β
Xu Xiang's eyes were stunned, his face was red, and his heartbeat at this moment was even more apprehensive than when he slashed and killed the Tartars in Datong.
He is not wronged, the key is whether the girl is wronged or not!
Chu Chen also knew that he was worried in his heart, and said: "There is still a lack of a position as a commander in the Beizhen Fu Division, you have neither a hereditary family lineage, nor a meritorious reputation, but you have thought about fighting for that position!" β
This is the official position of Zheng Sipin, as long as Xu Xiang can sit firmly in this position, the official position is higher than that of Liu Huanting's father, so will it be easier to marry a beautiful woman?
Chu Chen suddenly hooked his lips and smiled, probably because he was able to successfully 'sell' Liu Huanting, and he was in a happy mood: "You go back and think about it first, and then give me an answer after thinking about it." "This kind of thing, but anyone with a little brain will not refuse, Chu Chen firmly believes that Xu Xiang will 'figure it out'.
Xu Xiang didn't know how he got out of the Hou Mansion, until he got on the horse, his legs and feet were still sore.
He's going to marry a daughter-in-law?
People who are used to living a poor life will always be uncomfortable if they jump too high all at once.
However, Chu Chen values him, coupled with his own radicalism, even if Liu Huanting is unwilling to marry him, in the near future, there will be many people who will give him a beauty!
Thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, no one can say for sure what is going on in this world!
Chu Chen stayed in the study until after the third watch before going to the bedroom.
I thought that his little wife had already fallen asleep, so he dared to set foot in this room, otherwise he couldn't taste the delicious food that belonged to him, it was really torturous.
Ruo Suzheng instructed Qiaoyun and Yinchun to carry her bottles and cans, and the fragrance of flowers overflowed in the house, creating an ambiguous atmosphere.
Chu Chen walked over hard, and saw her half-squatting on the big kang near the window, her buttocks against the soles of her delicate feet, and she didn't know what she was applying on her hands, it smelled good.
"Master."
"Uncle!"
The maids in the house saluted Chu Chen successively, in the middle of the night, they should also retreat, when Chu Chen went to bed, he didn't like others to approach, this person was cold and suspicious. No one in the house dared to come within a foot of him.
Soon, only Ruosu and Chu Chen were left in the room, everything quietly quieted down, the candle flame in the bronze candlestick was blown by the night wind, Ruosu patted the balm on his hand, leaned to the end of Chu Chen's nose, and let him smell it: "Is it fragrant?" Do you like it or not? β
Tu these just to make him like?
Chu Chen suddenly had an illusion of joy and spring, grabbed her restless hand, kissed the pink round fingertips, and he was not in the mood to ask the little wife what he was smearing, so he bent down and picked her up and walked quickly to the inside of the screen: "You don't hurt now, right?" β
Half a life confused
