Chapter 168: Ambition
"I've seen the Marquis of Zhongyong."
In the water pavilion, two envoys wearing Tang official uniforms bent down when they saw Chen Shou coming in.
"Two of you, please."
These two envoys are fair-skinned, with long hair under the chin, and a long figure, with the standard appearance of a doctor from the Southern Tang Dynasty.
In the Southern Tang Dynasty, it is a face-looking society, if you look ugly, even if you are talented, you will not be able to enter the court as an official.
"When we came, we were entrusted by the Qiantang Chamber of Commerce and Liu Xiang, and we must come to meet Master Hou and greet you on their behalf."
Chen Shou laughed and said, "You're polite, hey, the prime minister of your country, isn't it Mrs. Zhang?" ”
"Master Hou didn't know, my husband thought that he was old and had already returned home. Now the prime minister of our Tang Dynasty is Liu Leyi. ”
Chen Shou nodded and asked, "Isn't it Liu Hongyang, the old poet of Yuezhong?" ”
"Does Master Hou also know the name of Liu Xiang's poem?" Tang envoy is honored, with a happy face.
"I've heard a little..."Chen Shouxin said, the prime minister of the Southern Tang Dynasty really doesn't look at the ability to govern the country, this Liu Leyi, as his name suggests, there are countless romantic incidents, it is said that in the Qinglou in Hangzhou, he can easily find three hundred of his old friends, and is called Liu Sanbai.
This old boy was not ashamed, but proud, and simply called himself Liu Sanbai, and in his study, he personally wrote a couplet: The city is full of three hundred flowers, and one person has been romantic for forty years. From then on, the study room was renamed 300 halls.
If this old thing is in Daqi, Lao Tzu will let him go to the royal peony garden to plant medicinal fields, and he will have to work to reform this prostitution activist.
Although he was disdainful in his heart, Chen Shou still said with a smile: "After you go back, you will also convey your gratitude to Liu Xiang for me, and there is the Qiantang Chamber of Commerce, we have cooperated very happily this year, and the opportunities will only be greater in the future." ”
"With your words, our trip to Beidu Daqi will be worthwhile."
Obviously, the Tang envoy came with a mission, Chen Shou knew it, but he was not in a hurry, and waved his hand and said: "Today is the New Year, everyone rarely rests for a day, you can feel the scenery of the north here with peace of mind, we are talking about Shangyuan." ”
The two looked at each other, and they both felt a little stunned, it is said that this loyal and brave marquis is the most decisive, and the clapper is a matter of thought, and this time he also made a procrastination trick.
Chen Shou also has his own difficulties, this year's war in Hedong is too urgent, and he can't make ends meet.
He needed to take a break in the coming year, and increase his merchant taxes so that he could harvest the wool of the wealthy Isilanhu merchants.
Sending off the Tang envoy, Chen Shougang wanted to go back, but suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he secretly said in his heart that he finally had a reason to get out, and he didn't take the opportunity to go out for a ride and comfort those outer houses, otherwise he would have a headache in the coming year.
"Zhang He, prepare the car, go to the summer palace!"
In the summer palace, many palace ladies were allowed to go home. Especially those who live in Bianliang, they all went back to reunite with their families, and the rest were intimate maids who accompanied their masters.
Princess Huaishan's small courtyard was a little deserted, and after Chen Shou entered the summer palace, he asked like a thief, knowing that Concubine Wu had not come back yet, and his heart was a lot more relieved.
Entering the small courtyard, Princess Huaishan was eating, and when she saw Chen Shou coming in, she was full of joy and hurriedly asked someone to clean up.
Chen Shou waved his hand and said, "You just eat, I'll watch from the sidelines." ”
The room was full of warmth, and Huaishan was also wearing a light and thin jacket, a small white silk jacket, pink silk bell bottoms, embroidered sleeping shoes, and her hair was draped on her shoulders, which looked very charming.
After a few bites, I asked the maid to clean up the table and bring two bowls of hot tea.
After washing his hands and rinsing his mouth, Huai Shancai pulled his jacket and walked over, Chen Shou hugged her waist and let her sit sideways on her lap, her round and straight snow buttocks, even if it was separated by a layer of soft ayaluo, it still had an indescribable elasticity.
Chen Shou lowered his head and kissed lightly on the snow cheek and said: "Today, all the women in my house will give me New Year's greetings, you are my concubine, and you should give me a cup of tea." ”
Huai Shanqiao's face flushed, her eyes flowed, her eyebrows and eyes were full, and she said: "You are so beautiful that you are not light, what is the identity of this palace, the eldest princess of the eight classics, the sister of the emperor today, you should give tea to the palace." ”
She pretended to be so careful, and she really had a noble fan, if ordinary people would have been frightened.
It's a pity that Chen Shou is not ordinary, he grabbed a piece of soft meat with his hand holding his round buttocks, twisted it vigorously, and said, "I didn't hear what you said." ”
Huaishan was in pain, holding his buttocks and standing up, tears swirling in his eyes, but his face was even redder, and his eyes were about to drip water.
In the end, it is an adulterer and a woman, Chen Shou knows the benefits of the eldest princess Huaishan, and as soon as she makes a move, she likes the tune.
"Master Shou, Xiao Huaishan will give you tea, I wish you happiness, health and good luck." Princess Huaishan knelt on one knee on the carpet, dragging a teacup in her hand, looking like a little slave girl who was bullied.
Especially the voice is delicate, sweet and greasy, and the bones of those who listen to it are crispy. Chen Shou took it with a smile, only took a sip, and the two of them hugged and kissed each other.
......
Coming out of the princess's place, it was not early, Chen Shou went to Li Lingfeng to sit for a while, and then went down the mountain and returned home.
Suddenly, Chen Shou stopped, standing on a high place in the summer palace and looking down, it was Bianliang City immersed in celebration.
There is no end in sight to this vast and glorious capital, with wide, smooth streets deserted, but the squares are lit by candles, reflecting the night in crimson colors, like the dawn of dawn.
At night, countless painting boats, Taoist temples, temples, and restaurants are all lit up, and there are millions of them, dazzling, so that the stars in the sky are all overshadowed, and people can't tell whether it is the Fenghua Bianliang City in Tokyo or the white jade capital in the sky.
It is conceivable that tonight, thousands of empty alleys are empty, and countless people are celebrating in Bianliang City. They must have a smile on their faces, and they are with their dearest and most loved ones as they visit Bianliang, Tokyo.
A group of guards, seeing Chen Shou standing still, followed his eyes and looked at the night scene of Bianliang.
Tonight is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and it is naturally very lively.
Zhang He was behind him and shouted, "My lord? ”
Chen Shou came to his senses at this time, pointed down, and said, "Look, what is this?" ”
"What?"
The guards looked at each other, not knowing what the Hou Ye had discovered.
Chen Shou sighed and said, "This is the splendid country of my Han family, proud and dazzling. ”
The guards were still confused, and they didn't know why Hou Ye said this.
Chen Shou finally began to move his steps, walked to the carriage, and said to the guards behind him: "I, Chen Shou, will swear to protect this prosperity to the death."
