But it was said that Zhenming was confused by the elders' shelves, and she said after a while: "This matter is not small, let the younger generations think about it a little." ”

Zhenming said: "It's okay." Poor Dao just doesn't want you to waste this skill. ”

Jia Cong casually asked, "How many of your people are still with Concubine Hui?" Please come here. What my uncle said was, don't waste your skills. ”

Liu Mingqiu said: "We followed Concubine Hui originally led by the master, but now she has gone to Nanyang to find the little uncle, and I don't know when she will come back." ”

Jia Cong laughed out loud: "Do you want to wait for her to come back?" She won't be able to come back. Liu Mingqiu asked why. Jia Cong said, "In the early years, I went to Chen Kingdom, and Concubine Hui and King Chen wanted to beat the fat sister-in-law for dozens of boards because of a little sesame big thing. According to her kung fu, the board naturally can't hurt her; but the face is extremely ugly. And King Chen's sister-in-law also called Uncle Xiao Zhou as a slave. It can be seen that Concubine Hui's mother and son didn't take their sisters seriously at all, and treated them as two minions. Zhou Xiaolan is now the head of a country, where would she be willing to let her own sister be a slave? If Master Zhou doesn't find Java, it's fine; If she finds it, Zhou Xiaolan will not let her back even if she is under house arrest. ”

Liu Mingqiu said indifferently: "Master's kung fu is stronger than that of Uncle Junior." ”

Jia Cong smirked: "Did you hit the country with your fists and feet when Zhou Xiaolan?" Dare to ask how Chow Damei's kung fu is better than firearms? Liu Mingqiu took a breath. Jia Cong Nai looked at Chen Ruijin and said, "Your little uncle has already taken Java, so I guess I drink cocoa tea every day." Heck, I always forgot to ask someone to go to Spain to get a recipe for cocoa, otherwise I could give it to her. ”

Chen Ruijin smiled: "We don't have to think about it, Uncle Xiao will get it himself." It's not easy for her to come up with a recipe. ”

Jia Cong thought about it too. This kind of flying master, coaxing and interrogating, and voyeurism are not a problem, and he hurriedly said: "In this case, let's send someone over to contact us first." Cocoa tea is comparable to brown gold, and it is big business. Chen Ruijin nodded.

Liu Mingqiu looked at the two of them and smiled bitterly: "In this way, can the master not come back?" ”

Jia Cong said: "The three words 'not even' can be removed. "Besides, Concubine Hui doesn't have much to live, and she won't be able to find her master when she comes back.

Chen Ruijin also said: "If the comfortable days are too long, the master will also change." Being the emperor's sister is always more comfortable than being a slave, and there is cocoa tea to drink every day. She clapped her hands and laughed, "I love cocoa tea the most." Since Uncle Xiao has to go to Java, I have to ask her to give me more children. ”

Jia Cong smiled: "She would think about going to Java, isn't it because she got your cocoa tea that year?" ”

Liu Mingqiu hurriedly asked what was going on, and the two of them explained in detail the reason why Zhou Xiaolan left King Chen and chose to go to Java. Liu Mingqiu was dumbfounded; Zhenming was also a little surprised, and then stroked his beard with a smile: "In the past, King Chu Wen levied for Mrs. Xi, did this little Zhou girl actually attack Java for food?" ”

Chen Ruijin smiled brightly, and praised the wonderful taste of cocoa tea: "The Taoist chief has never eaten it; That's really worth beating down a country. ”

Jia Cong also smiled: "Both men and women love that, but most men don't like to add honey to flavor." Curry must still have it, send some with your uncle, and you can try it too. "I called the boy in the Baoyu courtyard through the wall to come over, and asked him to tell the second grandmother to get some cocoa tea for the uncle; There are no subordinates here.

For a while, the kid came back and said with a smile: "Second Grandma Lian said that in the past two years of war in Java, most of the cocoa tea was shipped from West Africa, and it was not easy to buy. The girls have shared the last time I bought, and the new ones haven't arrived yet. Brought her own first. ”

Chen Ruijin said: "Leave her to Fu'er, I'm better there." He got up and went back to the yard to fetch it.

Liu Mingqiu hurriedly said, "I'll go with you." What you said is so mysterious, I'll take a look at what cocoa tea looks like. The two sisters pretended to be affectionate and left.

As soon as they left, Jia Congxi made several gestures around Zhenming: "There is an old man in the family, if there is a treasure!" Uncle, the little five-body throw! Zhenming didn't say a word, and pointed to the tea. Jia Cong hurriedly poured tea for him, holding it with both hands.

Outside, Chen and Liu walked back to Jia Cong's courtyard before entering the courtyard gate, Liu Mingqiu suddenly leaned against the door, looked at Chen Ruijin and said, "What did Uncle Xiao betray King Chen for?" ”

Chen Ruijin also looked at her, and sighed for a while: "You don't believe that she is because King Chen wants to accept her into the room?" Liu Mingqiu was at a loss. Chen Ruijin said, "She is not a fan, she is not a slave, and the pink-headed slave also has a deed in the hands of the master, the old bustard, right?" Does Concubine Chen Wanghui have her deed in her hand? For decades, the inner court has been able to trap your family surnamed Liu, isn't it because if you leave, the Son of Heaven will make the whole country arrest and the army to search for it? Does King Chen have so much power? Earlier, the minions did not dare to run away, just for fear of being caught and killed. Today, there are many people on our island who were fugitive slaves, and their masters know where they are. ”

Liu Mingqiu stared at her and said, "Did you never want to help me gain a foothold in Jia Cong's backyard?" ”

Chen Ruijin smiled: "I don't care if I say this kind of thing, after all, the man has to make up his mind." ”

"I look at the way he looks at you......" Liu Mingqiu shook his head and said with a wry smile, "That female doctor from Shu Kingdom can't be a miscommunication." ”

Chen Ruijin couldn't help but smile: "That female doctor was originally me. ”

"No wonder." Liu Mingqiu paused, and said, "What the master said is true, you really can't give birth to a son." Chen Ruijin shrugged and was noncommittal. A few days ago, I heard that Jia Cong wanted to attack a country called Malaysia in Nanyang, but I was afraid that he had more than one ambition. In the coming days, a man will have to succeed him after all. ”

Chen Ruijin couldn't help laughing: "Sister Liu's ears are with a sieve?" How do you listen to some and not others? Didn't you see him lead the troops with Miss Lin? Didn't you hear him say that there are many empresses in the West? Didn't you hear him praise Uncle Zhanjava for doing a good job? Didn't he know that Uncle Xiao was a woman? Liu Mingqiu obviously didn't think about this section, and was stunned.

Chen Ruijin ignored her, went to find cocoa tea inside, and sent it to Zhenming to cook it with everyone. There are those with milk and honey, and there are those that are not, and everyone tastes both. In the end, Zhenming, Liao Shouping, and Jia Cong love to drink pure, and Chen Ruijin and Yuan Shikai love to drink sweet. Zhenming smacked his lips after drinking: "No wonder Zhou Yatou wants to go to war to seize the origin of this thing." Isn't she done fighting? Jia Cong, hurry up and send someone to buy it! Jia Cong hurriedly responded, and everyone laughed.

When Jia Cong returned to the courtyard after filming Zhenming's sycophants, Liu Mingqiu was still standing against the door. Jia Cong shouted from afar: "Big niece, why don't you come to drink cocoa tea?" ”

Liu Mingqiu looked up at him and asked, "How big is overseas?" ”

Jia Cong was overjoyed: "Do you also want to go out to fight the country?" Come on, come on, I'll show you the world map! Come in, please. Even if Liu Mingqiu is a fool, he can see that he treats himself completely differently from Fang Cai, this time the joy and enthusiasm are real, and he can't help but glance at Chen Ruijin.

After explaining the map for half a day, Jia Cong went back to Xiaoxiang Pavilion. Liu Mingqiu sat opposite Chen Ruijin for a while and explained the reason why she came here.

It turned out that a few days ago, a spy from Shu sent a letter to Chen Guo, saying that Jia Cong had fallen in love with a female dart master Chen Siniang and fell in love with a female doctor from Shu State, and Zhou Damei immediately guessed that the female dart master was Chen Ruijin. Concubine Hui thought for a long time when she heard this, and said, "Isn't Chen Ruijin older than him?" ”

Zhou Damei said: "Two years older." ”

Concubine Hui said: "It turns out that he likes older women. Also, he died of his mother early, and he became good friends with his sisters when he was a child. Nai regretted it, "Lin Hai's daughter is really good. ”

Zhou Damei said: "According to the letter from Shu, Jia Cong looks down on women with ordinary means, because their family has opened a flower building and has seen a lot of various tricks. He likes the older women who have a skill. ”

Concubine Hui smiled: "Such a woman King Shu doesn't have in his hands, but we do." That Chen girl first followed Liu Dengxi, and now she has been with him for all these years, and she will not be with us. Zhou Damei nodded, and then picked Liu Mingqiu to come out.

Chen Ruijin shook his head after hearing this: "Concubine Hui thought that this trick could go all over the world because she was favored by the emperor and had a smooth life in the first half of her life, but she never thought about the reason. Nai stood up and said, "Sister Liu didn't eat cocoa tea just now, I'll cook it for you again." So he took the silver frost carbon from the tea stove to boil, and said, "Concubine Hui is favored by the Son of Heaven, of course, she is beautiful in life, supple in front of men, and she is smart, and there are more beautiful, supple, and intelligent women." The Emperor Taishang favored her only because of Gonggong Liu after all. Moreover, the Emperor Taishang's own qualifications are mediocre, and it is inevitable that a smart woman who knows the harem will listen to her. She is a natural female Zhuge again, she has not been out of the palace since she was four or five years old, and every qiē she has seen is in the palace. Inside and outside the palace are two worlds. Leaving the palace, Concubine Hui is a fish out of water. If she followed King Xian back then, and would King Xian listen to her words? ”

Liu Mingqiu looked at the furnishings in her house and asked, "Why is your house so plain?" ”

Chen Ruijin snorted: "Sujing? My sister, do you know what these are? He pointed to a stone statue on the other side of the screen, "It was made by the Greeks 2,000 years ago." He also pointed to a gold bracelet on the dresser, "This was made by the Egyptians 4,000 years ago." Turning back and pointing to the glass vase on the table, "Venice's." "Raise your finger to the candlestick on the shelf," Persian. Nai Han said with a smile, "There are things in this world, but I can get everything I want." ”

Liu Mingqiu said softly: "Then are you different from Concubine Hui?" ”

Chen Ruijin smiled dumbly: "I already have these things, and being with Jia Cong is just the beginning of this trip to Shu." Miss Wu is not one of him, and she doesn't like everything she manages to get by herself? Sue Sister Liu in a word, the money she earns is spent comfortably. If you don't believe it, you can try to make some money by keeping a single dart outside. ”

Liu Mingqiu was silent again. Chen Ruijin boiled the cocoa tea, mixed it with the fishy milk and honey and put it in front of her. Liu Mingqiu picked it up and tasted it, and couldn't help but praise: "It's really a good thing, I've never tasted it." ”

Chen Ruijin said with a smile: "Therefore, Uncle Xiao went to war." ”

Liu Mingqiu asked again: "If Master stays in Java, will you be able to believe it?" ”

"Yes, we want to do business with Uncle Junior." Chen Ruijin said, "If she is retained, do you all want to come over and follow the True Ming Daoist?" It's better than following King Chen. ”

Liu Mingqiu was in a trance for a while, and muttered, "Let's talk about it later." Chen Ruijin smiled and took a sip of cocoa tea.

Although Liu Mingqiu is Chen Ruijin's friend, it is inconvenient to live in Jia Cong's courtyard, so Wang Xifeng wants to find a small guest house for her. Zhenming said: "Is there still land near the left side of this courtyard of the poor road?" Miss Chen's big dog is busy, and Miss Liu is free to accompany the poor to pass a few tricks. Liu Mingqiu stayed in the courtyard on the other side of Zhenming. Zhenming is also the first time to come to Chengtianfu, everything is new, and often takes Liao Shouping, Yuan Shikai, and Liu Mingqiu to the streets, or go to the library to get some books. Seeing that the Chinese New Year is coming, there are many things in the market, and when I meet the expensive ones, I will remember Jia Cong's account. Yuan Shikai is still a child, he likes a lot of things, and occasionally he blinks and looks at Zhenming when he can't afford it. Zhenming waved his hand: "Buy!" Jia Cong has another one more item on his account.

On this night, Jia Cong came back with Zhenming after gossiping about the West for a while, and prepared to wash and sleep. Someone outside suddenly came to report, saying that Jarvis was coming, and hurriedly asked him to come in. Jarvis looked dejected and looked like he had lost the battle, and startled him: "What's wrong?" ”

Jarvis smiled bitterly: "I don't know what went wrong, I'm here to consult with you." ”

This afternoon, Lin Daiyu and the military had a meeting, and everyone packed up their things and left the conference room. Jarvis glanced at her and rubbed for a long time. Daiyu knew that he had something else to say, and she also pretended to figure out the sand table on the table. Where else do you not understand? They all ran away, and the last ones to go out were to close the door for them.

Jarvis said, "Minister Lin, I want to ask you for a kiss." ”

Daiyu was caught off guard, stunned for a moment, and her face was full of shame. After a while, he whispered, "This ...... It's going to be a war......"

Jarvis said: "I have been thinking about it for the past few days, and Mr. Lin is afraid that you don't want to go out to lead the troops because you have never married, and he is anxious and scatters fire on this." If only we could get married sooner......"

Before the words fell, Lin Daiyu had already lowered her face: "What are you busy with this time, I don't have time." He picked up Wen Jiàn's bag and left, leaving Jarvis in the conference room. Jarvis was stunned for a long time.

Jia Cong rolled his eyes when he heard this: "I can't believe that such a stupid thing was said by your brother." Do you want to marry Lin Daiyu or Lin Hai? ”

Jarvis said hurriedly: "I've been thinking about it for two years, and I haven't come up with a good excuse. You can't just ask for a kiss. ”

"Ahem...... Jia Cong choked on his saliva, coughed for a long time, and pointed at him, "Do you want an excuse to ask for a kiss?" What does it mean to go to court? Do you like her? ”

Jarvis said softly: "I liked it the first time I saw it in the small house in the south of the city that year. ”

Jia Cong stumbled: "Isn't liking an excuse?" Can't you just say this to her? ”

Jarvis blushed with embarrassment: "That's ...... I couldn't say it to her. ”

Jia Cong was stunned for two seconds, covered his face and said, "You, you, you...... Oh, my God! I never dreamed of ......"

Jarvis said: "I know it in my heart, and she knows it in my heart!" ”

"I know that there is a hairball for it!" Jia Cong only felt that this matter was noisy everywhere, and he didn't know where to vomit. "Pure ECG, that's aliens! How can there be a girl who doesn't talk about love...... Brother—you listen to me. If you have a language confession barrier, go to Chengtian No. 1 Bookstore to buy a copy of "Three Hundred Love Words" to learn, and memorize some classic lines, it is definitely better than using Uncle Lin as an excuse. ”

Jarvis was an honest man, and when he saw what he said, he was convinced, and thanked him seriously. Jia Cong waved his hand behind him: "Our brothers are so familiar, I won't send you~~"

After waiting for a long time, I heard the footsteps of Jarvis far away, Jia Cong laughed at the desk, and pounded the table with both hands. Chen Ruijin listened clearly in the courtyard, and couldn't help laughing for a long time when he heard him laugh like that. Jia Cong easily stopped laughing and ran out, and looked at Chen Ruijin for a while, and the two laughed again.

The next day, Jarvis went to buy a copy of "Three Hundred Love Stories" early in the morning, and everyone laughed at it for several years, which is a later story.
