Mr. Chen booked a scene in Furong Washer in the south of the city today, and invited a group of powerful children to play.

The famous hundred opera troupes of Quan Jiatong were all invited by the Wu family to Shanglu Garden, compared to all kinds of juggling such as swallowing knives and spitting fire, Furong Vashe is all literary opera.

puppet shows, shadow puppet shows, and a few famous prostitutes who are rarely seen in ordinary times took the stage, stroked the pipa, and sang a small song, which tickled people's hearts.

This arrangement was even more popular with the children of the powerful and the literati.

Chen Dagongzi looked at the full house of friends, lively and lively, and there were many elderly scribes mixed in, listening to the introduction, a few of them were still famous, and they were first-class guests in the prince's house, he didn't have the heart to listen to the music, and he didn't feel distracted.

News came out from the palace before the year that his cousin was unwell during this time, but she was actually pregnant.

The emperor was overjoyed, and summoned a doctor to order Yan Bai to live in the palace permanently, and he stayed by the concubine's side day and night, for fear of any accidents, but only a few days later, Empress Wu fell ill.

Yan Bai was probably bored in the middle, and took the opportunity of going out of the palace to see the Venerable Master Lin Shinan's Mansion, and never returned, I don't know where he hid, and only left a few apprentices in the Medical Decree Mansion for the palace to summon.

The fact that the concubine was pregnant with a dragon fetus was not publicized at first, and it was not until two days ago that the concubine felt that the fetus was sitting firmly, so she sent someone to tell the family.

When the Chen family heard the news, they were both happy and worried.

In fact, as early as when the emperor favored the concubine alone, the Chen family knew that they were roasted on the fire.

The lord is weak and the minister is strong, and the government is in the hands of Wu Taishi. There are too few courtiers who are truly loyal to Emperor Liang Xi of Tianyi, and they rely on their Chen family alone, let alone turn the sky upside down. It's hard to save your life.

Over the years, the Chen family has made every effort from top to bottom to make friends and sponsor those famous scholars and great Confucians, and recruit customers who treat them well, just to earn a good reputation among scholars, so that Wu Deshui has some scruples when dealing with them.

At this time, as soon as the music stopped, the more than ten dancers on the stage who were shuttling back and forth like flowers and butterflies retreated, and Chen Dagongzi also came back to his senses.

On the side, the second son of Chang Xinhou smiled and said, "Brother Zishi." The song that came out below is quite interesting, you have to be the east, I specially asked them to keep it. You listen. There is such a beautiful singing voice in the world. ”

Two courtesans came up between the talks, one dressed in green clothes and holding a pipa in his arms, and the other in an ochre-colored skirt. Empty-handed.

The people who play the lute are older. Looking at the forty years away, there are also empty hands in their twenties, needless to say, the older ones have sallow faces, and they can't even be called half-old, and the younger ones are just middle-aged people.

I saw too many young and beautiful prostitutes in front of me, and these two girls came up. There was a lot of discussion in the audience, and there was even a commotion.

The old man did not lift his head. The upper left sat down with the pipa obliquely in his arms, and the four strings were stroked, and there was a clanging sound, which suddenly suppressed the noisy sound of the hall.

After a while, the woman had a "wheel finger", her left hand was pressed, her hand eased down, and the sound of the pipa was clear and graceful, like the Feiyun River stretching endlessly.

The Chen family likes to play the piano and compose songs, and the eldest son of Chen is a knowledgeable person, and immediately praised: "Just listening to this pipa sound, I am afraid that it will be no less than ten years of work." "No wonder the people who play the lute are so old.

The second son of Chang Xinhou smiled: "You listen to it." ”

At this time, the ochre-clad woman standing behind spoke and hummed softly to the sound of the lute.

The tone is tactful, the pipa is murmuring, from near to far, and the song is beautiful, from far to near, and the two are gradually entangled together. Not only does it not affect and weaken each other, but it adds color to each other, and in this cold winter day, in the noisy tile house, it seems that thousands of flowers suddenly bloom.

There was silence in the hall at some point, and everyone looked at the stage stupidly.

At this time, looking at the woman in ochre clothes, she was actually vivid, charming, and charming, so a charming beauty, even Chen Dagongzi felt that his lower abdomen was hot, and his body seemed to be on fire.

There was movement again, and the whispers became louder and louder, and I don't know how many guests couldn't sit still.

After the song was sung, the ochre-clad woman stopped, and the sound of the pipa gradually stopped, only the lingering sound seemed to be still winding around the beam.

Chen Dagongzi woke up like a dream, looked left and right at everyone and looked like they were still giving souls and souls, and was about to applaud and cheer, when he suddenly heard someone in the corner sneer: "This kind of bewitching voice that confuses people's minds can also defile our ears in broad daylight, is the next step to confuse the palace?" A good banquet for the Chen family! ”

Immediately following the sound of tables and chairs, a few people stood up and turned around to walk out.

As soon as everyone saw the change, they all craned their necks to look over there.

Seeing that these people didn't know each other, and didn't know how they got in, Chen Dagongzi's heart sank, and he was about to stop it, when a big man in the lead suddenly remembered something, raised his hand and threw a piece of silver on the table.

As soon as the exclamations arose, I saw that the silver that the man had casually thrown out had smashed a big hole in the table and sunk deep into the table.

Tan Zhi, the doorman, whispered in the ear of the eldest prince of Chen: "The eldest prince, that is the doorman of the Duke of Anguo." ”

Grand Prince Chen's face changed slightly, so he had to stop and let those few people swagger away.

An Guogong, that is the son-in-law of Taishi Wu Deshui.

A few years ago, the old Duke An Guo died of illness, and the prince of An Guo inherited the title, and I heard that the house was actually in charge of the house, and it was the sister of Queen Wu, the Duchess of Guo, who was the big Wu family.

This is clearly premeditated to smash the field.

What made Chen Dagongzi uneasy was that he made trouble with what those doormen said.

Although his cousin Chen Guifei is good at singing and dancing in poetry and literature, she is a rare talented girl, but her appearance is not as beautiful as Empress Wu.

I'm afraid that these words will be spread by people with hearts, and the ignorant people will spread the rumors, and they also say that the concubine's favor is because they learned the means of this courtesan. Once she loses her reputation as a fox, the concubine should not say that she gave birth to a prince, but she is afraid that she will not even be able to save her life.

No, you must not allow anyone to pour dirty water on the concubine.

But the mouth grows on others, and he can't arrest everyone, even if it's a woman who sings at the right time, he can't deal with it quietly, and then the Wu family is behind him......

The more Chen Dagongzi thought about it, the more scared he became. If you are sitting on pins and needles, you still have the heart to enjoy the next song and dance, and finally wait until the pre-arranged shows are finished. Sending everyone away, the remaining friends were going to change places and have another drink, but they had no intention of socializing at this time, so they hurriedly said goodbye and rushed back in a sedan chair, wanting to discuss countermeasures with their families as soon as possible.

When he returned to his home, it was already in the afternoon, and at this time he had left early to pay New Year's greetings. The lucky bag hanging in front of the door is filled with the famous thorns of the flying post.

The sedan chair stopped, the entourage opened the sedan curtain, and Chen Dagongzi came out of it.

I saw that the streets were empty. A gust of wind blew, and a lot of firecrackers and shredded paper swirled with the wind.

Chen Dagongzi's heart suddenly felt sad: The family is still prosperous at this time, and I don't know if it will explode like this firecracker in the coming year. The building topple. There are no bones left.

He took a deep breath, cheered up, and was about to walk towards the door, when Tan Zhi, who was following him, suddenly whispered, "Big boy, look over there." ”

Chen Dagongzi followed his expectations, and saw two people standing more than ten zhang away, in the shelter at the corner of the high wall.

The sun was setting, and the two men stood in the afterglow of the setting sun in their cloaks. The man is tall and the woman is slender. Chen Dagongzi only felt a little familiar when he looked at the man, and when he saw the woman's picturesque eyebrows, he suddenly remembered.

Tan Zhi had already reminded him in his ear: "It was Lu Buxun who injured Han Yang." Son, if you don't go down to the door and ask, he will come to our door and wait for something. ”

Grand Prince Chen muttered: "On the first day of the Lunar New Year, come to pay New Year's greetings." ”

As he spoke, he had already made up his mind, and said, "I'm fine, please invite the two of them to come into the house and sit down." ”

The Chen family was forced to be unable to do so, the more desperate they were, the more they employed people, the eldest prince Chen understood the reason, thinking that no matter why this Lu Busun came, he had to behave as a polite corporal, this person's martial arts are so strong, even if he can't recruit them, it would be good to have a good fate.

Tan Zhi didn't wait for the past, and the thirteenth king of the chamber had already come over with Wen Sheng.

Wang Shisan Shicai and Wen Sheng talked about it on the bell and drum tower, and his heart seemed to have moved a big stone, and he breathed a long sigh of relief, and sighed: "I knew that it would be so easy after saying it, I said it a long time ago, grandma's, I can suffocate Lao Tzu these days." ”

Wen Sheng glanced at him obliquely, as if smiling: "Your uncle didn't mention it, you don't know how long it will be hidden." And how can it suffocate? ”

Wang 13 complained: "It's true, suffocated to death, not only in my heart, but also in my body." ”

Wen Sheng heard him talking nonsense again, and sneered: "Twenty years have come like this, what's the difficulty at this time?" Like you, who are used to following your heart, often the more you don't let you do anything, the more you want to try, and you just don't think about it. ”

Wang 13 glanced at her and muttered in a low voice, "I didn't meet you." ”

The two watched the scenery of Merlin through the window for a while, and talked for a while, seeing that the time was not early, and then quietly came downstairs to the door of Chen's house to see if they would wait for an acquaintance.

Therefore, Wang Shisanli saw Chen Dagongzi coming out of the sedan chair from a distance, not to mention how happy he was, and his eyebrows flew to greet him, and he was full of enthusiasm.

"Hey, eldest son, Brother Tan, Happy New Year, Happy New Year!"

He bowed his hand towards Chen Dagongzi, and then approached and patted Tan Zhi's shoulder to show affection.

He is so familiar and informal, even the beautiful daughter-in-law has been brought out, Tan Zhi feels very faced, and said with a smile: "Brother Lu and his wife have a good New Year." ”

Wen Sheng was a few steps away and returned the salute.

Grand Prince Chen took his eyes off Wen Sheng, smiled kindly and said to Wang Shisan: "Why don't you enter the mansion, but stand here to blow the wind?" ”

Wang Shisan scratched his head, revealing an embarrassed look: "The two of us have been in Jiatong for a short time, and we don't have any friends to socialize. I was hesitating, I wanted to go in to greet everyone for the New Year, but I was afraid that the adults and sons would ask, and I didn't know how to reply. ”

Seeing his embarrassed appearance, Mr. Chen guessed that after consideration, he planned to refuse the invitation of his own family and not come to be a first-class guest in the future.

I don't know if there is Jiang Xianyan here.

It's strange, why does Jiang Xianyan value this Lu Buxun so much?

Doubts flashed in his head, and he smiled: "Since you are here, how can there be a reason not to enter." Tan Zhi, quickly invite the guests into the house, see if the second brother is not at home, and then call a few people who are familiar with Brother Lu and have two drinks together. ”

Wang 13 pretended to be simple: "No, no." He waved his hand again and again, and was pushed into the door by Tan Zhi.

Wen Sheng pursed his lips and smiled, followed behind, and stepped into the Chen Mansion.

Knowing people he didn't know all the way, Wang Shisan greeted them warmly, so that everyone in the Chen family was confused.

Really let him sit down in the living room, Tan Zhi took into account that Lu Buxun came with his female dependents this time, and he didn't greet so many people, Chen Dagongzi sat in the main seat, and he accompanied him at the end, and called a little maid to come over and pour tea and water.

Wang Shisan's buttocks sat on the edge of the chair, with a look of sincere fear, he greeted a few words, and got to the point: "Don't hide it from the eldest son, my husband and wife came to Jiatong to look for relatives this time, but they didn't find anyone, so they were introduced to be a guest in your mansion and eat together." I have a problem, once stimulated, I can't control my emotions, so when the master taught me martial arts, he told me not to move the real fire, and to leave room for people when shooting. ”

Listen, what is a master, this is a master.

Chen Dagongzi became more and more tempted, and said: "I can't blame you for that incident, it's Han Yang who is to blame." I have made it clear to my father that no one will hold on to this again. If Brother Lu has any scruples because of this, there is no need. ”

Wang 13 hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice: "It's not because of this, after the meeting a year ago, I really wanted to come to the house to help the eldest prince share his worries, who knew that in the past two days, I didn't know that Lu was actually close to Lord Jiang, so I'm afraid it will be inconvenient." ”

Chen Dagongzi and Tan Zhi were surprised.

But Wang Thirteen's appearance doesn't look like a fake.

No wonder his husband and wife went out shopping that day, and Jiang Xianyan also sent one of the Di brothers to follow.

Wang 13 said carefully: "It is said that it is a relative, but in fact, it is also counted from Mrs. Jiang, and it is separated by several layers. I discussed it with Neizi, and I felt that Lord Jiang probably felt that I came to your mansion as a guest, so that he would lose face, so he objected to this matter, and in addition, we also heard that his wife's surname is Wu, and it is not all the way with Lord Chen, I am afraid that you will also feel awkward. ”

Chen Dagongzi secretly thought: "This person is a straight intestine, and I have never heard anyone so unabashedly pick out the contradictions between the Wu and Chen families in person." ”

He smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Lu, you are too worried. Lord Jiang's wife is a side branch of the Wu family, and besides, Lord Jiang is very upright, and he puts state affairs first in everything, so he should not intervene in these matters. ”

Wang Shisan and Wen Sheng exchanged glances, but they didn't expect the Chen family to comment on Jiang Xianyan like this.

Is he really a good official?

Wang 13 said solemnly: "The eldest prince, although I can't come to the mansion as a guest, but Han Yang was finally injured by me, causing trouble to your mansion, even if I owe you a personal favor, I see that the eldest prince has just come back, his face is uncertain, as if he has something on his mind, if there is anything you need my help with, don't be polite." (To be continued......)

PS: The chapter name is derived from the last two sentences.

That's it: she's in trouble, I'll help, I live next door and my surname is Wang. Just kidding. Momda.
