Chapter 181: Chinese New Year's Eve Talk
Midnight. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Qiaoyun pushed the door in.
Ruosu was leaning on the big pillow embroidered with honeysuckle flowers and reading the medical book, when she heard the movement, she put down the book: "Inquiry?" ”
Qiao Yun crossed over Qiao Ju, who was already sleeping on the footrest, and whispered: "Miss Hui, Mr. Forget is not in the back room, Wang Pu's mouth is very tight, slave... Didn't hear anything. ”
If Su guessed correctly, Chu Chen still transferred Lechuan elsewhere.
"I know, you can rest, tomorrow is Chinese New Year's Eve night, you go to your mother's yard tomorrow morning to see if you need help, as for the rest...... I have my own way to make Chu Chen spit out the truth. Ruo Suyu's fingertips flipped over the poison spectrum in his hand, and the corners of her cherry red lips raised a delicate arc.
Doesn't he like to be poisoned?
Well, she'll fulfill him!
For Lethe, even if she can't get him to open her mouth to compromise, at least she can give him medicine so that he can tell favorable information when he is delirious.
Although she has not yet thoroughly mastered the essentials of toxicology, as long as she studies carefully, it is not impossible to find those rare medicinal herbs.
Qiaoyun replied in a sneering voice: "The slave can save it." ”
She frowned and looked at Qiao Ju who was lying on her foot, and said in her heart What kind of rules are these, how can there be such a vigil, and her master is light, if he changes to a wide body and a fat body, he will not step on Qiao Ju with one foot.
In Bai Qishan's study, Chu Chen was drinking the freshly soaked red robe, his breath had always been steady, but for some reason a force seemed to be surging from his abdomen, and he almost squirted out. In front of Bai Qishan, he was not rude, and he endured a sneeze.
"The emperor has long discussed with several cabinet elders about canonizing the White Tiger as the Marquis of Chengen, and now the edict of the Marquis of Chengenhou is officially drafted." Bai Qishan looked at the flying pigeon in his hand, and had a general understanding of the situation in the DPRK and China, as for what means Chu Chen used to bribe the eunuch of the celebrant eunuch, he didn't ask, this is the rule of officialdom.
Chu Chen swallowed his saliva, and his voice returned to calm: "After all, he has not yet had any combat exploits. All lords who are not social and military merits shall not be awarded, and titles shall not be given unless they are specially intended. Judging the title by military merits is a rule left by the ancestor emperor, and the emperor's move to make an exception is undoubtedly to buy people's hearts. ”
Bai Qishan agreed with Chu Chen's analysis very much, and could even be said to appreciate it, he nodded again and again: "What you said is very right." ”
Chu Chen said again: "In addition, there have been disasters for many years, the treasury is insufficient, and it is too late to recruit soldiers at this time, the Qingfeng Village of the White Tiger is the best weapon to deal with the anti-thieves, not to mention the Xuanfu, Datong is not as peaceful as it seems, and the emperor needs people like the White Tiger too much!" ”
It was one of the steps he had planned.
The two of them were silent for a moment, the mist from the tea lingering in the room, and white smoke was still rising from the top of the small stove, and the boiling tea overflowed again and again.
Bai Qishan touched the beard that had just grown, when he married Bai Ling, he always felt that he was old, and he was afraid that other girls would dislike him, so he shaved his beard, and now he is not suitable for having a beard.
He said, "Is there any progress there, Mr. Forget?" I heard that he and Sister Su are acquaintances? This Su sister is used to causing trouble, and she almost didn't go up to the wall to uncover the tiles in the capital. ”
Chu Chen was about to speak, but Bai Qishan stopped him: "Don't always look at her, I know my own daughter, hey..... Her mother left early, I regret that she has no mother since she was a child, so she is so pampered, and I don't know if it's right or wrong? You say, how did she come to know someone like Lethe River? ”
Bai Qishan sighed again and again, but what appeared in his eyes was extremely relieved and proud, even if her daughter did something that others could not tolerate, she was still his daughter.
Chu Chen deeply felt the weight of Bai Qishan's 'calf protection', and while sitting upright, he pinched his nose and said: "Su Su is a good girl, Lord Bai is too worried, I.... Will keep an eye on her. ”
Bai Qishan took a sip of tea, and he didn't know if it was too hot, or what's wrong, he suddenly choked, coughed a few times in a row, and when he looked at Chu Chen, he had the illusion that someone else was thinking about his beloved things.
"You... Ay! My daughter is too naughty, but fortunately, she hasn't been able to do it yet, and when she returns to the capital, she will find a teacher to teach her the rules, and it will not work like this. Bai Qishan was moved.
The two fell silent for a moment again, subconsciously Bai Qishan had already sensed something, but he didn't want to believe it.
It's not easy for me to be both a father and a mother, and how can I be a good girl who pulls the big girl with one hand, how can I be 'bitten' away at will!
Bai Qishan went to Bai Ling's house to sleep, and the first month of the wedding could not be empty.
He didn't feel sleepy after a simple wash, so to speak, tossing and turning.
Bai Ling poked his shoulder with his hand: "Husband, what's wrong with you?" But thinking about the thief? ”
Bai Qishan turned around, met her face to face, and asked, "Madam, what do you think of Chu Chen?" ”
Bai Ling smiled, she had asked Bai Qishan this question a few days ago, and it would be his turn to ask again.
"What do you say? Didn't you think highly of him last time? Bai Ling continued to be sloppy, Chu Chen wanted to marry Ruosu, or Bai Qishan himself could see it, she was a stepmother, so it was not good to open this mouth first.
Only two candles were lit in the room, and when they were halfway burned, the light dimmed, and the incense burner in the inner room was still lit with spices.
Bai Qishan didn't want to associate Chu Chen with his girl, so he changed the topic: "This spice was bought by Madame?" ”
Is it because you haven't been with a woman for too long? I wasn't quite used to this strong floral fragrance, and as soon as I smelled it, I wanted to lean into Bai Ling.
He was a man who read the books of the sages, and he was a poor and upright man, and he had always been very cautious about the affairs of men and women, and of course he could not let himself be too indulgent.
Bai Ling smiled: "You mean that, it was sent by Sister Su'er, saying that it helps sleep, and the concubine has used it for a few days, and she also feels good." ”
Does it really help you sleep?
Why did the more he smelled, the more he couldn't sleep!
"Husband, what's wrong? Don't like the floral scent? Bai Ling asked again, and a hand passed through his quilt and put it on the man's waist, causing Bai Qishan's body to stiffen.
Forget it, they are all husband and wife, and in order to prolong the heirs, these ...... It's inevitable.
Thinking like this, Bai Qishan hugged Bai Ling into his quilt, and pressed the whole person up: "My husband will go out in a few days, and it will take at least half a month to suppress the bandits this time, and everything at home will be handed over to Mrs. ”
Bai Qishan's eyebrows were solemn, and he explained very solemnly.
Bai Ling was confused by his demeanor, he hugged her like this, but said these words seriously?
Do you want to .....
She didn't stay depressed for long, hot kisses fell on both sides of her cheeks, and one hand untied the thin belt around her waist with ease, and reached in a little rudely.
"Husband... That one.... It's not too early, and tomorrow I have to worship my ancestors. Bai Ling blocked his hand, this flounder affection was what she was looking forward to, but it was a spring supper every night...... She couldn't stand it anymore.
"It's okay, I can get up early tomorrow for my husband." Bai Qishan put aside Bai Ling's hand, and he was bound to 'work hard' for the sake of his heirs.
----------
Early the next morning.
The few maids in the house were assigned to clean the courtyards.
Ruo Su had breakfast in Bai Ling's house, and as soon as he finished eating, Bai Ling asked the little maid to bring out a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone: "Sister Su, your father and Chu Chen are both from the top of the family, so the couplet should be written by the two of them." ”
For the Chinese New Year, why do you want to 'ask for words' from Chu Chen, an outsider?
Ruo Sumei glanced at Bai Ling, and saw that she didn't seem to be disobedient, so the doubts in her heart were temporarily put down.
She was thinking that Bai Ling probably didn't know that she also had the ability to copy, let alone Chu Chen, even if it was her father's words, she wouldn't be a problem.
Do you want to hide it?
Bai Qishan's daughter, Bai Ruosu is stubborn by nature, and she shouldn't be good at writing!
Thinking like this, Ruosu took the door paper and went to the study.
When Bai Qishan saw his daughter coming, he hurriedly put the book on the Bogu shelf, and said with an elegant smile: "Why did Sister Su have time to find her father today?" ”
What is this called?
Is it to complain that she doesn't usually do her filial piety? She has time to come over, but Bai Qishan also has to be free to be in the house!
Ruo Su smiled very sweetly, and handed over the door paper with two small hands: "Daddy, my mother said that I would ask you for a few words, and she said that you are the best man in the world." ”
Bai Qishan was stunned for a moment, his handsome eyebrows and eyes were bent, he was really not used to women praising him.
This morning's clean-shaven face flushed: "You mouth, you are used to fooling your father." He took the paper, thought about it, held the pen, and a few big words jumped on the paper.
The pen is neat, the pen is strong, and if you look closely, it is really more of a writer's style than Chu Chen's words, but it lacks some essence and other things.
She couldn't say what it was, and when she was copying, she was always almost on fire.
Ruosu stood aside, looked at it as if he was very admiring, and then worked hard to 'pat the horse': "The word father is really a dragon and a phoenix, according to the daughter, it is much better than the words of Mrs. Chu, and you are still hanging his calligraphy and paintings at home!" ”
In the morning, Bai Qishan was first praised by Bai Ling, and then praised by Ruo Su, he was in a good mood, and laughed on his back: "Chu Chen's words are hard to find, and he is still slightly inferior to him for his father." "This is true, and he can't accept it.
When he almost became Chu Chen's teacher, he also felt pressure.
"Why! Obviously, Daddy is better, but Taifu is far worse than you. Ruosu once again stood firm.
Chu Chen lived in the mansion for many days, and became friendly with Bai Qishan, and went in and out of the study at will, and on Chinese New Year's Eve, the little people guarding the door went to help with the work.
When he stepped on the door, he heard such a sentence, and his face suddenly darkened.
What man doesn't want to be outstanding in the eyes of his loved ones!?
Even compared to her father, he had to be the best!
"Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive! Sister Su is lucky, and she can also ask our Mrs. Chu to write you a few words. Bai Qishan smiled at Chu Chen, his attitude was a little arrogant.
Behold, my girl, after all, she is directed towards me.
Chu Chen walked to the bookcase, lowered his eyes and glanced at Ruosu, looked at her curled eyelashes, small lips, and squinted: "Don't you know?" ”
Ruo Su's heart chuckled.
Yes, how could she have forgotten that when she was in Qiao's house at that time, she had imitated Chu Chen's handwriting, and she also used that opportunity to make Qiao Ruoyun unable to get off the stage.
This....
Ruosu bit her lip, feeling embarrassed to be seen through the secret, she said to Chu Chen before Bai Qishan suspected it: "Stingy ghost! If you don't want to write, it's just that, where will I write your handwriting, you take a book and let me copy it. ”
"Don't be rude!" Bai Qishan frowned and reprimanded Ruosu, but it was only a reprimand, but there was still a smile on his face.
Chu Chen's upright facial features were solemn: "Since my words can't get into your eyes, it's okay if you don't write." ”
If Su didn't pay attention to him, this person would be too easy to get angry.
Bai Qishan laughed on his back again: "Sister Su is young and ignorant, don't you care." ”
Chu Chenjian raised his eyebrows, and his powerful fingertips flicked the non-existent dust on his shoulder, and he disagreed: "It's not small, it's time to get married in another year or two." ”
Suddenly, Bai Qishan and Ruosu both froze.
Bai Qishan also knew the emperor's intentions for Ruosu, and it was imminent to find a suitable in-law for her, and Chu Chen ..... is indeed a good match, but Bai Qishan is really reluctant, at least he has to find someone who can deal with Ruosu himself, who is of a similar age, the system... Can't be so robust....
The three of them had their own hearts and minds, and wrote a few couplets at random.
After worshipping the ancestors, firecrackers were placed outside the door, and the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was about to begin.
Chu Chenjun ordered that the prince did not return to the dynasty one day, and he could not return to Beijing, so he justifiably stayed in Baifu for the New Year. As for Wen Tianyou, who is also on official business, Bai Qishan is now a magistrate in Lingnan, so he sent someone to invite Wen Tianyou over, which can be regarded as the friendship of the landlord.
After the maids served the food, Wen Tianyou came late, he finally did not wear an official uniform, but changed into a moon-white silver silk dark pattern group flower robe, lining his slender and indifferent, with a boxwood hairpin on his head, elegant and handsome facial features, which did not match the name of the murderous commander.
When he came, he was still carrying a congratulatory gift in his hand: "My lord, Mrs. Chu, the official is late, don't blame the two." "Rao is such a day, he gives people a cold feeling.
The banquet was set up in the front courtyard hall, Ruosu sat beside Bai Ling, the Lingnan folk customs were not as rigorous as the capital, Ruosu and Bai Ling did not avoid it.
Chu Chen was a little official: "Lord Wen is the pillar of the country, wait a while, I really can't blame it." ”
He and Wen Tianyou are the most famous sons and brothers in the capital, but they have never been able to get together.
It's not-for-tat, it's just destined not to be a confidant.
Wen Tianyou didn't refute his words, and took a sip of his cup: "Good wine, Lord Bai originally hid such good things here." ”
Bai Qishan knows Wen Tianyou's ruthlessness, but only his heart, for the emperor's sake, he has always regarded Wen Tianyou as a 'person of the same kind': "It was brought by Sister Su from the capital, if Lord Wen likes it, the lower official will let someone send an altar over." ”
"No need!" Wen Tianyou opened his mouth abruptly, the speed was beyond his own imagination, and even others were stunned.
The meal seems to be very uneven, and everyone seems to be drinking and talking.
Whether it's true or not, only they know in their own hearts.
