I can't say anything about Mr. Wu at the moment. It was only said that Chen Jue's plan had been decided, and after going down to the government the next day, he invited Xu Zichuan, a good colleague in the yazhong, to eat and listen to the play in the best restaurant in Beijing.

The household has always been an enviable fat child. However, there are also differences in the division of labor among households. Such as Chen Jue, who is good at drilling camps and willing to flatter, treats each other with blue eyes when he goes up, and he always forgets him when he has a good errand on weekdays, and the oil and water will be bigger. is also as tall and crazy as Chen Qi's friend Xu Zichuan, although he will not be humiliated, and he will not be with the light, so Shangfeng is naturally lazy to pay attention. Let him stay in such a cornucopia of households, but his sleeves are clean. In my spare time, I had to write a book of wind and moon to earn some pen polishing to get by.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Chen Jue smiled and said to Xu Zichuan: "Brother Zichuan has always been good?" Are you shy in your pockets these days? ”

Hearing his friend's joke, Xu Zichuan just smiled and didn't care. Instead, he laughed and joked: "You also know what I have on hand." When was it relaxed? You said so, but recently you have added oil and water, and your purse is bulging, and you want to fund me? ”

Chen Jue sighed: "Your temperament is too strong. It's not my cliché, it's just that I learn the qualifications with Brother Zichuan's talents, but if you have a soft attitude and take Lord You as your human heart, although you don't immediately regard Brother Zichuan as a confidant, you will definitely treat you as a guest. Why are you so shy? ”

When Xu Zichuan heard this, he smiled and said: "You still say that it's not a cliché, my ears are almost calloused." I don't care how you get up and down, why do you force me to join in? It's not that I'm saying a word of disobedience, but although I'm kind and holy today, I'm too accommodating. It is so troublesome that the officials are not clear now, and all the civil and military officials are borrowing silver from the imperial court. In the long run, the treasury will be empty, and if there is another natural disaster**, I am afraid that it will be the people who will suffer. For the sake of today's plan, only by urging the arrears of silver with the power of thunder, enriching the treasury, and rectifying the rule of officials, can we stabilize the society and seek the foundation of eternity. ”

When Chen Qi heard this, he laughed and said, "You are too willing to worry about it." What are the outstanding demands? You and I are now on an errand in the household department, don't you know the situation? Not to mention those relatives of the emperor and the country, meritorious and noble, they are slightly inferior civil and military officials, which family does not owe the court silver? It's just a matter of numbers. The saints don't pursue it, who still mentions these, he is tired of being crooked, so he is willing to go against the entire court. ”

After a pause, Chen Qi said again: "Besides, the saint has toured the south many times, and the people who have been driven by the Jiangnan family, such as the Zhen family, the Wang family, and the Jia family, who have now moved to Kyoto, have all borrowed money from the treasury to coax the saint. Now it's time to go shopping, it's time to make trouble, and urge people to ask for money? ”

When Chen Jue said this, he ate another glass of wine and sneered: "I'm afraid that with the heart of today's old ministers, I will never be willing." If they don't pay back the money, you can tell others to pay it back, but what can you say? I'm afraid there will be another commotion. ”

When Xu Zichuan heard this, he sighed even more, and said with hatred and hatred: "Hateful, hateful." The good court has let these moths corrupt. ”

Seeing that his friend was so indignant, Chen Qi shook his head and smiled: "In my opinion, Brother Zichuan is a condescending person to do a pen post style in the household department. With your temperament, you should go to Yushitai. ”

Xu Zichuan pretended to glare angrily: "You think I don't want to?" If one day I can enter the Imperial Historical Observatory, I will impeach these people who hollow out the treasury to enrich themselves—"

Without waiting for Xu Zichuan to finish speaking, Chen Qi smiled and said, "Yes, even I scolded me for this." ”

After that, he raised his glass and smiled at Xu Zichuan and said, "Come, just for Brother Zichuan to scold me, it should be a big deal." ”

Xu Zichuan also smiled, touched the full cup with Chen Jue, and drank it all. Yin Xiao asked: "Brother Ruzhang invited me to eat and drink this time, I don't know what he asked me for?" ”

Chen Qi smiled and said: "How do you know that I have something to ask you this time, is it possible that I usually invite you to eat and drink?" ”

Xu Zichuan smiled and said, "You usually invite me to eat and drink, but you rarely invite me to such a good place." This is Taibai Building, this feast, there is no silver of ten taels or eight taels, can't you come down? ”

Chen Qi smiled, raised his glass and sighed: "Brother Zichuan is observant, and the younger brother admires." ”

So he told the story of how his daughter wanted to study, how he invited Mr. Woman, and what happened to Mr. Wu. The last cause said: "The meaning of our family, I think it is to strike first. First find some storytellers and singers, and spread the changed scripts and texts in the market. If that family doesn't have a bad heart, it's okay. If we really want to have a bad heart, we can have a response. ”

He also said: "Brother Zichuan also knows me. Although he also lingered in these Qinglou Chu Pavilions when he was young and crazy, how could those friends of wine and meat have ever had a heart-to-heart relationship. Although this matter is not a confidential matter, it involves the innocence of the daughter's family. I don't want outsiders to get involved. After thinking about it, I can only ask Brother Zichuan for you. ”

Xu Zichuan quietly listened to one of Chen Qi's words, and sighed: "There are such ungrateful, cunning and hateful people in the world. I don't know what to say. ”

sighed for a while, and smiled at Chen Jue again: "Brother Ruzhang, don't worry." It's just a little thing, and when I go back, I'll write a fold of drama and deliver it to you. ”

Chen Qi thanked him with a smile. After the business was over, the two began to laugh and eat again, and when the banquet was dispersed, they returned happy.

In the evening, Chen Jue returned home drunk. Feng got the news, and hurriedly took the maids and wives to welcome the second gate to help the general back. Chen Qi staggered, deliberately pressing half of his body on Feng's body, the two twisted back to the room, Feng slowly helped Chen Qi to the bed, one wall took off his boots and took off his clothes, and the other wall raised his voice to call for water.

Chen Jue fell on the bed in a large shape, and said with a smile: "I discussed that matter yesterday, and I have already entrusted it to Brother Zichuan." He said that he would write it out when he got back tonight, but he would give it to me in three or two days. ”

After that, he sat up with a salivating face, and leaned in front of Feng Shi and asked for a reward with a smile: "I have done everything grandma has ordered, how can grandma reward me?" ”

Feng Shi only felt the smell of wine on his face, frowned in disgust, fanned the wind with his hand in front of him, and said: "I don't know how many jars of wine I have drunk, and how much I am mourned before I come back." Wait for Ming'er to have a headache in the morning, I don't care about you. ”

said in his mouth, but told the little girl to serve the decanting soup that had been prepared. coaxed Chen Jue to eat a big bowl. And the rough maid and the maid brought hot water and toiletries. Feng sent two powerful girls and helped Chen Qi to take a bath in the clean room.

Chen Qi was half drunk, half deliberate, and still relied on Feng's body without moving. Squinting his eyes, he said, "Grandma hasn't had a hairpin ring, and she must have not freshened up yet, so let's wash it together." ”

Then he said to the maids who were waiting in the room, "When you go out, you don't need to come and serve." I'll come back when my grandma and I call. ”

The maids agreed in their mouths, but they looked at Feng with their eyes. Feng was ashamed and ashamed, his face was like rouge, and he still told the little girls to retreat. He helped Chen Qi stumble to the clean room.

I don't know what both of them did in it. After washing for two or three hours, Feng Shifang helped Chen Qi out to lie down on the bed, and then raised his voice and ordered the little girls who were waiting outside to go in and clean up.

Nothing was said all night.

The next day was Mu Xiu, early in the morning, Chen Jue got up refreshed, changed clothes and freshened up on one wall, and smiled at the listless Feng Shi and said: "Sure enough, the decanting soup made by grandma is the best." In the early years, I woke up with a hangover, only to have a splitting headache and not have the energy to do anything. Now it's better, no more headaches. ”

Feng snorted from his nose and looked at Chen Qi with a smile, because he said, "I shouldn't have begged my sister-in-law for the recipe for decanting soup in the first place. Even though you are becoming more and more uncalculating. If you get drunk for a while, you can sleep honestly. You're drunk and pretending to be crazy, and you're always coming to trouble me. ”

Chen Qi looked at Feng's angry face and graceful appearance, and he didn't feel that his spirit was galloping. Immediately, half of his body seemed to be crisp, and he hugged Feng's and said with a smile: "Grandma, don't be satisfied." If you don't believe it, go out and take a look, not to mention someone of my age, even if you are younger, who doesn't have an aunt to have a room. I don't have any of them now, except for my grandmother. Grandma doesn't let me do anything anymore, what can you do if you suffocate me. ”

As he spoke, he hugged Feng and asked for incense.

Feng Shi was ashamed and angry, and hurriedly pushed Chen Qi away, and reprimanded with a flushed face: "You can stop for a while." There are so many girls outside, and you are not ashamed. ”

Chen Jue disagreed, and sneered: "I hugged my daughter-in-law to kiss the incense, what does it have to do with them." If you are envious, you can go back to your own man. ”

Feng Shi chirped: "The more you talk, the more you go down, flow away." ”

After that, he ignored Chen Jue, went out of the door with his hands down, and walked down the verandah to the room. Chen Jue followed behind him with a smile, pacing slowly with his hands on his back.

When they arrived at the upper room, Chen and his two sisters, as well as Chen Huan and Chen Wan, were all in the main hall to talk to Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Chen. Seeing Feng and Chen Qi entering the door one after the other, Mrs. Chen said, "Since you had a drink yesterday and came back so late, why do you have to get up early today." It's time to get some sleep. ”

Chen Qi stepped forward to greet him with a smile, and said in his mouth: "As the saying goes, the plan of the day lies in the morning. If I don't get up early in the morning, won't I live up to this great Shaoguang? I have to make an example of Ji'er. ”

After that, he smiled with his son Chen Huan: "In the future, when you enter the imperial examination, you will inevitably have these meals and drinks." But remember, no matter how late you sleep in the night, you will get up at the hour. Even if you are extremely sleepy, you can stay until the lunch and take a nap. Don't be drunk in the name of laziness and waste. ”

When Chen Huan heard this, he had no choice but to agree. On the side, Chen Wan snickered with the eldest sister and the second sister.

Chen looked at Feng Shi for a long time, and suddenly asked with a smile: "Sister-in-law's face is burning, could it be the wind cold?" ”

When Feng heard this, he saw that Chen's face was narrow. I knew she was guessing what to make fun of herself. Seeing that everyone in the hall also looked over with concern, Chen Qi seemed to be smiling beside him, and unconsciously his face turned red, touched his cheek with his backhand, and said with a smile: "It's not the wind cold, it must be that the weather is cold and hard these days, and there is a wind for a while." ”

Chen pretended to be foggy, and said with a long tone and a smile: "Oh, it turned out to be a storm." ”

Feng Shi turned his face away, but he couldn't hear. Smiled and asked where to set the meal.

After eating breakfast for a while, everyone in the Chen Mansion dispersed. Chen Huan and the sisters went to the outer study and the inner courtyard study respectively to study, and Chen also went to Mr. Wu for a speech yesterday, and his son was called literate, which was actually surveillance.

Feng thought that the pair of shoes he had made for Chen Qi had not yet been finished, so he went back to the room to do some needlework.

Chen Qi was worried about Xu Zichuan's writing of the script, not to mention that he was idle at home and felt bored. So in the name of this, I went to visit Xu Zichuan's home, and I don't need to go into details.
