Chapter 64: Mission Impossible?
It was snowing, so it was a little cold. When Chu Yan first came out of the house where the earth dragon was burning, she exclaimed: "Ah, I'm freezing to death!" β
One turned around, knocked over the washing water held by a certain maid, the mouthwash cup of a certain maid, and went into the house again with a smoke, and let each maid drag him alive, even if he refused to come out again, he hid in the house and wrapped himself in a quilt and pretended to be dead.
Yu'er was helpless, so she had to add a few more clothes to Chu Chang for this, so that she could talk about it, and then helped Chu Chang out of the door.
As a result, when the person went out for the second time, his teeth chattered, and he asked tremblingly: "Fish, here, on the road, are there any people who have frozen to death?" β
Yu'er shook her head helplessly, helped her master to go in again, wrapped a few more clothes, Chu Yan came out full of spirit, rolled on the snow, and after the satisfaction that I couldn't freeze to death today, I slowly swayed to Xiangye's yard.
Chu Xiang was also extremely afraid of the cold, so the house burned the earth dragon, it was very warm, and as soon as Chu Yan entered the door, he felt murderous, and then, a black thing was smashing towards his face.
Damn, the old man can't be so insidious, right??
As soon as Chu Yan dodged, she rolled on the ground and dodged.
"Ouch, it's a big zongzi, ask the kitchen, how many people are this zongzi?" It's the first time I've seen such a big zongziβ"
Chu Xiang was in a good mood, staring at the round thing and smiling happily, the man sitting opposite him was dressed in white like snow, and it was rare to use only a ribbon to tie his hair, but he looked even more heroic.
Zongzi?
Chu Yan raised her head suddenly, looked around, and wondered, "How can there be zongzi?" β
Then, the butler who followed behind him, the fish all smiled, and the butler's face was full of wrinkles and wrinkles, and it was almost wrinkled. Chu Yan was depressed in her heart, got up from the ground, and glared angrily at Mu Zexi, who was trying to hold back his laughter: You can bear it, but don't laugh! Beware of internal injuries!!
Touching Chu Yan's eyes, Mu Zexi didn't smile very much, but patted the position next to him, and said softly: "Sit down and watch me play chess with my grandfather." This look is very similar to the owner of the dog that Chu Yan has seen before, and said to his dog: Come, come here.
Suddenly, Chu Yan's little face was wrinkled, and she glared at Mu Zexi several times with murderous anger.
Chu Xiang sneered coldly: "Hmph, this unproductive thing knows what chess is?" What else does she know besides eating? Why did Lao Tzu give birth to such a useless thing!! I can't do anything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and I am proficient in eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling!! β
"You don't understand! Hmph, don't think that I'm scared of you when you blow your beard and stare at me today, no, you can still kick me out today? β
Speaking of the New Year today, Chu Yan still went back to her parents' house as a princess to pay New Year's greetings, no matter how much Chu Xiang didn't give face, he wouldn't drive people away today. If Chu Xiang did this, it would be nothing more than a slap in the face of Mu Zexi and the royal family.
Chu Yan blew his beard angrily, and then without paying attention, he was killed by Mu Zexi, and quickly returned to the right color, and then caught up.
"Good boy, I can make my old man unshow every time."
Chu Xiang glanced at Mu Zexi appreciatively, he had already won the game, but he also knew that Mu Zexi was deliberately conceding, but he remained silent. This kind of thinking is very human. It is no wonder that the first emperor and now His Majesty will choose him as the candidate for the crown prince. The matter of establishing a reserve is nothing more than a problem in the world.
"Grandpa said where did he go, it's Zexi's skills that are not as good as people."
Mu Zexi was modest, there was a very light breathing sound in his ears, and when he turned his head, he found that Chu Yan had already fallen asleep sitting next to him, Xu was not sleeping very comfortably, so he rubbed Mu Zexi's body a few times, and then fell asleep satisfied. Mu Zexi's expression was indifferent and he let Chu Yan hold his arm, and his head rested on his shoulder, as if he was used to it.
"The things that don't make a living, they're all sleeping in the morning!! Do you think your butt is not red enough to get sunburned? β
was so startled by Chu Xiang, Chu Yan thought something was happening, and woke up smartly, facing Chu Xiang's murderous face, how could there be any sleepiness? Hurriedly asked, "What, grandpa, are you going to give me a red envelope now?" That's a little more to post, I've lost a lot this year. β
After speaking, he didn't forget to look at Mu Zexi with resentment.
The latter lightly raised his eyelids, indicating that he had heard.
However, Chu Xiang was suddenly annoyed, pointed at Chu Yan's nose and scolded: "You are a useless thing, you know how to loot your grandfather?" You don't know how to search for so many uncles, aunts, brothers, sisters, nephews, nieces, brothers and sisters, come to me and ask for money from an old man who has his feet in the coffin? Are you embarrassed? Why the hell is Lao Tzu such a loser like you who has no interest - (3,000 words omitted here)"
After Chu Xiang was tired of scolding, he raised his arms and shouted: "Come on, bring the red envelope to Lao Tzu." β
Chu Yan was originally scolded, but when she heard the red envelope, she suddenly became energetic, and immediately ran to Chu Xiang's side, holding Chu Xiang's arm for a long time, and was a scoundrel. Anyway, being a man, you always have to be shameless, so that you can last a long time, right??
"Grandpa, grandpa, I sent a lot of red envelopes yesterday, you just have a red envelope, I still lose it."
However, when the housekeeper brought the red envelope up, Chu Yan was angry, "Hmph, if you don't help me make up for the loss, forget it, take a red envelope and perfunctory me!" It's too much. β
Chu Xiang touched his beard and said seriously: "The water spilled by the married daughter, since you are already a wife, unless you give birth to a great-grandson for me, don't expect to find any oil and water from my Lao Tzu." β
Great-grandchildren, you know great-grandchildren!! You like to give birth to yourself so much!! Chu Yan was just about to go back, but was pulled by Mu Zexi, hugged his fists and smiled: "Grandpa's wish, Zexi will do his best." β
Chu Xiang glanced at Mu Zexi with satisfaction, glanced at his beard, and said to Chu Yan: "Why did you raise such a useless thing as you, and you are not half as sensible as Zexi." β
"Hmph, no matter how sensible you are, that's also my person. Don't think about it. β
Chu Yan coldly threw away such a sentence, and immediately blocked Chu Chang's next words.
Maybe it was because Mu Zexi was present, but the grandfather and grandson didn't stage any bloody incidents, even if Chu Xiang threw something to smash Chu Yan from time to time, he was always caught by Mu Zexi accurately, and then returned to Chu Xiang with a smile.
Knowing that Chu Chang ate breakfast late, they were not in a hurry, but whenever Mu Zexi came to the Prime Minister's Mansion, the people who came to pay homage to Chu Xiang were always frequent, and the young lady in this room came to deliver a glass of water, and then screamed, oops, Xiang Ye looked good today, such things are really countless, and finally Miss Chu was angry, and a Hedong lion roared: "Get out of here!" β
The women scattered like birds and beasts, especially Chu Yuqi, who turned back three times in one step, I feel pitiful.
Driving away these annoying women, Chu Xiang glanced at Chu Yan with satisfaction: "Well, there is the wind of a mother." β
Chu Chang's mother went early, but she was very happy, because as soon as she went, Chu Chang's father hung up, and the two went to Huangquan for a tryst. It's just that her mother has an unfamous nickname: Dominatrix.
Chu Yan also regarded Chu Xiang's words as a compliment for the time being, anyway, those women are Sima Zhao's heart, everyone knows it, isn't it just a vain hope that Mu Zexi can look at them twice? If they knew the usual dead appearance of Mu Zexi, they would definitely not come here to see Mu Zexi so badly.
Chu Xiang and Mu Zexi continued to play chess, Chu Yan was bored, so she sat aside, thinking in her heart that it would be the next episode of Dream of Red Mansions in two days, because she only remembered the roughly, so she made up the script of Dream of Red Mansions according to her own ideas, which can be regarded as plagiarism.
At this moment, Chu Chang heard Chu Chang ask Mu Zexi: "What do the six kings think about the affairs of the previous dynasty now?" β
Mu Zexi fell and said indifferently: "Internal and external troubles, foreign enemies are eyeing each other." β
Chu Xiang stroked his beard and continued to ask: "What do you think of the six kings opposing the prince?" β
Mu Zexi continued to settle down, and said: "Those who are capable live in it, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, so as to seek for the monarch." β
Chu Xiang was satisfied, nodded, and said with relief: "The first emperor really didn't see the wrong person, you are similar to the first emperor, nine points, the only difference is that you are not attached to power." β
Mu Zexi smiled lightly.
Chu Yan wondered, could Mu Zexi be the crown prince of the first emperor? Shouldn't I have a princess promotion myself? The journey from the princess to the queen mother seems to be difficult and far away, and it seems that I am still suitable for climbing the wall-
"Now although the whole country of Southern Xia has surrendered, there is a female gold in front of her, and after the surrender, she rebelled, so she had to guard against it. The surrounding countries are eyeing each other, waiting for the unstable foundation of the country after the establishment of the prince, taking advantage of this difficulty, His Majesty has not established the prince for a long time, but has been letting the six kings act as the prince, and the six kings must see the situation clearly. β
Chu Xiang is old and honest, although Chu Yan doesn't believe this very much, after all, a person who is an honest official, how can he feed the Chu family? Let's just say that those few partial houses are all people who don't have any official positions, and they all rely on Chu Xiang to support themselves. Well, it doesn't seem right to suspect that his grandfather is not honest and honest in such an open and honest manner.
"Sister-in-law?"
Chu Xiang shouted a few times, and found that Chu Yan's face was tangled, and he immediately raised his beard, "Something that doesn't make a difference!" β
"Huh?"
Chu Yan was startled, and immediately came back to her senses, and then saw Mu Zexi covering her lips and chuckling, laughing unexpectedly.
This is indeed cheap, gently call her that she shouldn't, she has to roar to be effective! It can't be masochistic, right?
"What?"
Chu Yan crossed her hands on her waist and returned it unceremoniously, she also knew what Chu Xiang said just now, Mu Zexi must be the best candidate for the crown prince, but she didn't expect the current form to be so entangled.
"The Marquis of Pingshun is now guarding the border of Southern Xia, which can be regarded as stable, but the Marquis of Pingshun cannot be trusted. Among the royal family of Southern Xia, the closest one in blood, who is twelve years old, and is not the descendant of the first king of Southern Xia, if he is the emperor, it may not be possible to last long. β
Mu Zexi can see it openly, and he can see it clearly, only at this time, Chu Yan understands why one or two people like Mu Zexi so much, because this person, when he thinks, is really charming. A woman is the most beautiful when she is working, and a man, when she thinks seriously, is also the most attractive.
In fact, Mu Zexi's facial lines are still very soft, if he is gentle, he will definitely be even gentler than Xie Yao, but this person's face is tense all day long, and it is inevitable that others will mistakenly think that this is a very cold person.
"Mu Zexi, you won't keep Concubine Dong in the mansion just to stabilize Pingshun Hou, right?"
Think about it, Mu Zexi didn't even want to marry himself at the beginning, how could he be so easily threatened by Pingshun Hou to welcome Concubine Dong into the mansion? To put it bluntly, this is a reassuring pill for Pingshun Hou, you and I are in-laws, you don't have to think about it, let's be stationed in Nanxia.
Hey, now that I think about it, the matter of Jin Niang at the beginning, Mu Zexi was the same, knowing that this person was meticulous, but he just kept it around and watched, controlled, and used it from time to time. Now that she thinks about it, Chu Yan feels that Mu Zexi's thoughts are really, too deep.
"How could the Marquis of Pingshun settle down for the sake of a concubine? However, if Pingshun Hou really has any bad intentions, Concubine Dong can be regarded as a good chess piece. β
Mu Zexi smiled, and the smile was very sinister.
I wipe, Mission Impossible?
Chu Yan was stunned, and yes, if Pingshun Hou wanted to do something, he would definitely ask his daughter to provide him with information, then Mu Zexi could also use Concubine Dong to provide some false information to tempt the enemy.
"Although the second brother and eighth brother have no intention of taking the throne, those behind them may not necessarily be without action, so this matter can only be done slowly, at least, before my mother's family enters Beijing, I still lack help."
The Xie family is the pioneer, and the Chu family is the backing.
The Xie family has more talents, just look at Xie Yao, and Xie Yao's father are all talents, but people have no intention of officialdom. But if Mu Zexi needed it, didn't those people immediately roll over with their pants on?
Chu Xiang has no shortage of talents, but Chu Xiang's reputation is too clean, and he can only be used as a backing, and he can't charge and provoke this right and wrong.
Hearing Mu Zexi say this, Chu Yan suddenly felt that this kid was actually pitiful. Obviously, this thing is his own, but so many people come to grab it for no reason. However, the prince who doesn't want to be the emperor is not a good prince, so even if those few princes who are not very good come to rob it, it is understandable, but they have no choice but to meet Mu Zexi.
"Hmph, if the second prince hadn't been so old because he was so much older than you, how could he have assassinated you so many times when he was young? The first emperor was kind, and he was unwilling to give him death, which was already kind, and he was so unrepentant. β
Chu Xiang threw the chess piece angrily, obviously very angry. Chu Yan has never met Mu Zexi's second brother, and it is said that he is quite old, at least, he can almost be Mu Zexi's little father.
Mu Zexi lowered his head and didn't speak, as if he was a little desolate. Chu Yan suddenly sympathized with Mu Zexi, under his noble status, he must have brought him a lot of trouble. Thinking of this, Chu Yan couldn't help but gently patted Mu Zexi's back to show comfort.
Mu Zexi stiffened for a moment, turned his head to look at Chu Yan in shock, and then turned his head away.
