Now it is said that Chen Qi borrowed flowers to offer Buddha, and presented the only remaining pack of "anti-wolf medicine powder" in his hand to Zhao Bihe, the commander of the Jinyi Army, and in this way he offered the idea of looking for hunting dogs to find people - although this move may not be useful in arresting the kidnapper, it shows that Chen Qi is shrewd in trouble, and it is not good to take credit, and he intends to show favor to Zhao Bihe.

If in the past, Chen Jue, a seventh-grade official who had donated, even if he knelt in front of Zhao Bihe on the street and spit out golden lotus with a bright tongue, he would definitely not be able to enter the eyes of Zhao Bi and such a powerful third-grade official. But now is different from the past, since the Holy Lord and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince have a good sense of Chen Jue, this Chen Jue is not such a self-defeating, arrogant and lonely person, and the flattering Zhao Bihe is quite satisfied, Zhao Bihe is also happy to be friendly with Chen Jue and form a good fate.

I heard Chen Jue arch his hands and said earnestly: "So that adults know that those crutches are ruthless and bold." In front of the saints and your highnesses, he dared to threaten each other with his life. Xia Guan was really worried. I only hope that the adults can arrest these outlaws as soon as possible, so that the officials and their families can sleep peacefully. ”

Zhao Bihe glanced at Chen Qi with a smile. I just think this person is really smart. He helped himself come up with ideas, not only did he not make a fool of himself, but he said that he begged him to do things for himself. These words are pleasing to Zhao Bihe to listen to. Therefore, Zhao Bihe groaned slightly, and then smiled: "What you said is good." Since these kidnappers are ruthless, and you have just broken their good deeds, they will surely hate you. Besides, you took your family out shopping today, and although you brought a few servants, you were wounded and died. Very useless. That being the case...... Then I ordered some of the brocade soldiers to escort you to your house. lest the bandits make trouble in the night. ”

When Chen Jue heard this, he didn't hesitate to think about it, but his face was full of ecstasy, and he hurriedly thanked him. There was another cart of flattery in his mouth. The flattering Zhao Bihe became more and more eyebrows and smiled, only feeling that Chen Qi was a clever person. Originally, he only wanted to send two brocade soldiers to escort the Chen family to the scene, but at this time, he unconsciously sent the number of a patrol team - it didn't look like an escort, but it seemed to support the scene.

That Chen Jue accepted Zhao Bihe's love, and there was no need to say thank you in his mouth. After going home, he sat down with a group of brocade soldiers to eat wine and eat rice balls. The little leader of the brocade-clothed army originally refused, but Chen Qi persuaded him with a set of words: "Lord Zhao asked you to escort the official and his family to come, because he didn't want those bandits to take advantage of the night to make trouble and harm the official and his family. In this case, you have to stay, lest those bandits come to the door, and the old and weak women and children of our family, and the few people who take care of the home and the nursing home at this time, are all dead and wounded, and there is no way to resist them. ”

Speaking of this, Chen Jue paused again, and said with a smile: "What's more, it's freezing outside, and the northwest wind is blowing like a knife." I just prepared a few glasses of thin wine, and invited you to eat a few bowls of rice balls to meet the situation and go to the cold. Today is the Shangyuan Festival - or do you dislike the cold house, and you can't afford to step on the cheap ground. ”

This is not Chen Qi's humble resignation, it is really Zhao Bihe, as the commander of the Jinyi Army, the most humble Jinyi officer who follows him is also from the small banner of the seventh grade. And most of these small flags are hereditary military families, with family backgrounds and deep roots, but they are much stronger than Chen Qi, a small official who donated and has no support.

When you heard this, you also felt that Chen Qi's words were a little interesting. Besides, it's freezing outside, and no one wants this stall to go out and arrest criminals. If there is no excuse, it will be fine, and this time, Chen Qi handed the ready-made excuse to him. If they shouldn't, it's not that they're dedicated to the public, as if there is no one in their eyes. It's a character who has been registered in front of the saint, and they are not good at slacking off.

Thinking like this, the chief banner of the seventh grade led by him couldn't help laughing, and said "bother", and went to eat and drink with Chen Qi. After three cups and two glasses, one party intended to befriend, one party intended to flatter, and the two groups of people were even more affectionate and affectionate.

At the moment, not to mention how to push the cup and change the lamp in the hall, the banquet is sweet. It is only said that everyone in the Chen family returned to the back house, because of such a thing, Chen Qi and the second sister, who directly faced the saint and dealt with the royal people for a few words, even the Chen family who had been kowtowing to the ground were honored and excited. said that today's experience is "more wonderful than what is sung in the play".

Chen even hugged the second sister in his arms, and praised the second sister for being so eloquent, "You are bold and careful, and you dare to argue with the princes in the saint, it really gives your old lady a long face." I haven't hurt you in vain all these years. ”

Hearing Chen's frivolous call of "old lady", Old Lady Chen and Old Lady Chen frowned, and scolded in a deep voice: "That's just that the nobles look at the second sister's young age and childish words, so they don't theorize." In the future, you will be less prosperous and ruin the reputation of our Chen family. ”

Hearing this, Chen secretly pursed his lips. It has converged a lot.

Old Lady Chen and Old Lady Chen were worried about the servants who had been killed or injured on Flower Street, and hurriedly summoned the head of the outer courtyard who was in charge of the affairs of the family named Chen Zhong to discuss how to arrange those servants who had been killed or injured.

When Feng and Chen heard this, they hurriedly got up and took Brother Huan and a few sisters to avoid behind the screen. Old Lady Chen smiled and said, "It doesn't have to be like this. He's in his fifties, and he's an old man in our family. You're young now, and you haven't been through a few things. In the future, you will have to learn how to do it. If you stay and listen, it's always your own business. ”

Feng and Chen heard this, and they just left. Sit back down.

For a while, Chen Zhong had arrived, and he had seen the salute outside. He stood under the eaves of the porch and replied. Old lady Chen smiled and said, "In the middle of the night, whoever talks to you by the neck, come in." ”

When Chen Zhong heard this, he first kowtowed and thanked him. When I walked back into the door, I could only smell a fragrant breeze on my face, and out of the corner of my eye, I could see the hairpin and the ayara all over the house. Chen Zhong didn't dare to raise his head, so he just fell to the middle of the ground, lowered his eyebrows, and stood with his hands tied.

Old Mrs. Chen didn't care, and asked about the people who came back from Flower Street.

This Chen Zhong is the most proud father who often follows Chen Li next to Chen Qi, and his ancestors are all on errands in the Chen Mansion, and he has won the trust and reuse of the master's family. Hearing that Old Lady Chen asked, Chen Zhong pondered for a while, peeked at his deep meaning, and said: "If according to the old practice, the slave of the family is sick and dies, it is usually just a reward of three or five taels of burial silver. If it is a person who has gained face, and there is also an additional reward from the master, then it has to be said separately. But these people are different from others - they gave their lives for their masters, and they are young, so it's not easy to send them away. ”

When Old Lady Chen heard this, she nodded and said, "Yes, it's exactly this reason." As those who work for our masters, we must not be disadvantaged. What I mean is that I will give fifty taels of silver for each person for burial, and then choose a few good ones from these personal families—not men and women, but only by conduct. The young ones were left to the ju'er, and the girl was evenly given to Sister Wan'er, the eldest sister and the second sister, and the case of directly entering the second class was adjusted and taught. No matter how clever and obedient you are, you can also pick a shop to learn some business dealings, which is to teach people to fish. ”

When Chen Zhong heard this, he smiled and said: "It's still the old lady's delicate mind and thoughtfulness, and the little ones can't think of these anymore." ”

When Mrs. Chen heard this, she sighed with embarrassment, because she said: "What is not thoughtful is just that we are the masters, and we just do our best." ”

Chen Zhong smiled and said: "It is this kind of heart that is commendable. Like us, the children of each family, all the life is the master's family, if we meet a kind and compassionate master, it is a life, and we are willing. If you encounter such a cold feeling, it will only be sent away for three or five taels of silver, and who dares to say anything. ”

When Old Lady Chen heard this, she became more and more silent. Asked again how the banquet in the outer courtyard was, Chen Zhong replied with a smile. Old Lady Chen said: "Those who are injured should also be treated by Lang Chinese Medicine, and don't be stingy with decoction." Let them recuperate with peace of mind, and still return to their original places to work after healing their injuries. And those who are not injured should also be rewarded. If his family has any use, they will do it according to the wishes of the people. These people have gone through things, and they are more reliable than others, so they need to be reused. ”

Chen Zhongwei only promised. Old Lady Chen gave a few more orders, and suddenly heard a loud restless sound from the front yard, as well as the sound of swords and soldiers fighting. In the shadows, there were even bursts of fire. At this time, the north wind was blowing, and the firelight was stirred up by a gust of wind two or three feet high, and it became more and more terrifying in the cold night.

When the ladies saw this, they became more and more frightened. Old Lady Chen stood up suddenly, and hurriedly dragged Chen Zhong and asked, "What's the matter outside?" ”
