Chapter 264. Again.
……
Next, Chen Zhirong talked to Zhao Junchen about some things, but no one knew what the detailed content was.
However, with this conversation, the relationship between the two men has become much closer - at least on the surface.
After the conversation, Zhao Junchen and Chen Zhirong looked at each other and smiled, as if they had ghosts, and they seemed to have a tacit understanding.
For Zhao Junchen, an agreement that could not be trusted and waited to see the changes was reached in this way.
…………
With the agreement reached, both Zhao Junchen and Chen Zhirong tacitly agreed not to talk about business anymore, but just to talk about some ups and downs, or interesting things around them, and the atmosphere became more and more harmonious for a while.
I have to say that Chen Zhirong is indeed a wonderful person, not only exquisite, but also clever in words, and quite pleasant between words and laughter. If you put aside her extreme nature and deep scheming, even Zhao Junchen has to admit that talking to her is a very pleasant thing - pleasant almost addictive.
Soon, the time was close to the unitary hour, and as the time of the "agreement" approached, Su Xiuning finally appeared.
After receiving Xu Qingyan's report, Zhao Junchen and Chen Zhirong naturally came to greet them outside the private room.
But before Su Xiuning came to the private room, she saw that Zhao Junchen and Chen Zhirong seemed to have been waiting for a long time, and on her fair and delicate cheeks, the willow eyebrows frowned slightly, and a trace of doubt and doubt flashed in her eyes, but she quickly relented.
It seems that compared to the day before, Su Xiuning actually had more scheming and the city government overnight, and I don't know what Su Changyi talked to her about last night.
I saw Su Xiuning come to Zhao Junchen's side. Lightly blessed, he said: "I thought I came nearly half an hour in advance, but it was very early. But I didn't expect that Lord Zhao and Miss Chen came earlier, and it was rude to let the two of them wait for a long time, and I don't know what the two of them were talking about? ”
Seeing the calculation in Su Xiuning's expression, and then hearing the temptation between Su Xiuning's words, Zhao Junchen sighed lightly in his heart - it is really a pity that such a pure and supple woman was originally going to intrigue with a filthy villain like herself.
Helplessly. In this era, women are only vassals after all, and they cannot live only for themselves. Their fathers, brothers, and husbands are all they have.
In a way, Chen Zhirong is now showing favor to Zhao Junchen, even at the expense of all the evil consequences that will arise from this. Isn't it to get rid of such fate?
I sighed secretly in my heart. Zhao Junchen's expression was kind and natural, and he said with a smile: "I also just arrived, and I didn't dare to let the three young ladies wait for a layman like me, so I deliberately left the household yamen in advance, but I didn't expect Miss Chen to arrive before me, I am really ashamed...... Just now, while waiting with Miss Chen, we would like to talk about some famous poems and phrases of this dynasty by the way, but although it is a discussion. But how did I delve into this? It's just Miss Chen talking, and I'm just nodding. ”
Chen Zhirong smiled: "Lord Zhao is too humble. After all, you are a champion, how can you not understand such a small way as poetry and rhythm? It's just that you don't want to show off, which shows that Lord Zhao, your character, but a little woman, just boasted in front of Lord Zhao, I am afraid that it is a big knife in front of Guan Gongmen, which makes Lord Zhao laugh. ”
Between speaking, Chen Zhirong seemed to be deliberate and seemingly natural, and Zhao Junchen slightly narrowed the distance between her body, just standing side by side, looking quite intimate, which made Su Xiuning's expression a little unnatural.
Last night, Su Changyi and Su Xiuning had a long talk all night, from the grace of nurturing over the years, to the glory of the lintel of the Su family, from the future of Su Xiuning's lovely nephews, to the future safety of more than 100 people of the Su family.
Seeing Su Changchen like this, Su Xiuning finally made up his mind to do his best to win Zhao Junchen's favor today, and with the help of Zhao Junchen's power to help the Su family tide over the disaster, in order to achieve this goal, even if Su Xiuning is committed to marrying a notorious corrupt official like Zhao Junchen, he will not hesitate!
What's more, after getting along at yesterday's palace banquet, Su Xiuning was ...... to Zhao Junchen It's not annoying either.
However, determination is only determination after all, and the success of certain things requires more talent and temperament, and Su Xiuning obviously lacks these, and Chen Zhirong is the best among them, so now Chen Zhirong is just a light and unnoticeable action, which makes Su Xiuning a little ungrounded.
However, thinking of his father's repeated advice last night, Su Xiuning's expression quickly converged unnaturally, but the lotus step moved lightly, and he also came to Zhao Junchen's side, which was also a shoulder to shoulder distance, his face was slightly blushing, and he drooped slightly, and said, "Lord Zhao, Miss Chen, let's go into the private room and talk." ”
Seeing that although Su Xiuning was a little clumsy and shy, he didn't give in, and when he got along with Zhao Junchen, although he lacked a little charm and charm, but between his shyness, he had some natural and unique touching, and he couldn't help but flash a trace of surprise in his eyes.
However, out of confidence in her plan, Chen Zhirong didn't say more, just smiled and nodded in agreement.
…………
said that after Zhao Junchen, Chen Zhirong and Su Xiuning entered the private room and sat down separately, because they had to wait for Cui Qianxue's arrival, they did not have a formal banquet, but just talked about some idle things casually.
During the conversation, after Su Xiuning gradually adapted to his mission, he became more and more active, and there were many hints between words, but Zhao Junchen had made up his mind more and more after the previous conversation with Chen Zhirong, and he had to be cold to watch his marriage for a while, so he did not have a clear response to Su Xiuning's hints.
It's just that between the three of them talking, unconsciously, the time is already two o'clock, which has long exceeded the meeting time agreed yesterday, but Cui Qianxue is still delayed.
"Strange." Chen Zhirong said with a smile: "At last night's palace banquet, although I proposed today's party, Sister Cui was the most positive response, why did she disappear today?" ”
That being said, but for the sake of it, Chen Zhirong already knew in his heart, like Cui Mian, an old stubborn who cherishes his reputation, can promise Emperor Deqing to let his granddaughter go on a blind date with Zhao Junchen, which is the biggest concession, and then let Cui Qianxue meet Zhao Junchen privately today, it is definitely unacceptable for Cui Mian, so Cui Qianxue has not arrived now, and she must have been stopped by Cui Mian.
Perhaps, Cui Qianxue is now being grounded by Cui Mian.
In such a situation, Zhao Junchen naturally could think of it, and sighed: "Since Miss Cui has still not arrived, I am afraid that I will not come to the banquet today." ”
On the other side, Su Xiuning also nodded and said, "Yes, I heard that Cui Ge has always had a strict family style, and Sister Cui wants to go to the banquet, but it is not easy to come." ”
Sure enough, as the words of the three of them fell, Xu Qingyan's report suddenly came from outside the private room: "Young master, just now the people in Cui Ge's old mansion came to deliver a message, saying that Miss Cui has something to do temporarily today, and she will not come to You Feng Pavilion for a banquet." ”
Zhao Junchen shook his head and smiled, and said, "I know, since that's the case, then we don't have to wait any longer, Qingyan, go and order the store to serve wine and food." ”
After Xu Qingyan agreed and left, Zhao Junchen, Su Xiuning, and Chen Zhirong looked at each other and smiled, but the meaning of the smiles was different.
However, the dishes of You Feng Pavilion have not yet been served, and outside You Feng Pavilion, there was a sudden commotion, and when I listened carefully, someone blocked the door of You Feng Pavilion!
You must know that You Feng Pavilion is a famous restaurant in the capital, and there are often high-ranking officials and nobles who come here to hold banquets, and its background background is naturally not to be underestimated, but at this time, someone came to block the gate of You Feng Pavilion, and the people of You Feng Pavilion are helpless about this, obviously the origin of the people who block the door of You Feng Pavilion is even more extraordinary.
Seeing that the noise was noisy, which affected the conversation between Zhao Junchen and Chen Zhirong and Su Xiuning, Zhao Junchen frowned slightly, and asked Xu Qingyan to find out.
However, before Zhao Junchen could instruct, Xu Qingyan had already figured out the news in advance, pushed the door in with a strange expression, and came to Zhao Junchen's side, and whispered in his ear: "Young master, the people in the old Cui Mian's mansion in the front pavilion have just blocked the front and back doors of Youfeng Pavilion, and have investigated the people in and out in detail, and their expressions are quite eager, as if they are looking for someone here." ”
Hearing Xu Qingyan's report, Zhao Junchen also looked weird, as if he was smiling.
Although there is not much news, it is enough for Zhao Junchen to deduce something.
It seems that Cui Qianxue has run away from home again!
PS: Happy New Year to everyone! (To be continued......)
