Before the time came, Shang Cheng returned to Chongyifang.

Before he got off the horse, he heard the report of the guards, and it had been almost half an hour since Chen Zhuguo came.

Chen Pu is here? Come on, come on; He didn't care much. He asked the guards to pay for the groom's footwork, and went back to his small courtyard to wash his face and change his clothes, and then came to see Chen Pu.

But as soon as his hand touched the door of the outer study, something suddenly remembered him......

Worst!

There was a buzzing in his head. He just saw that Wang Yi was annoying in the matter of marrying the princess, so he remembered to let Wang Yi seek good fortune to avoid trouble, and he didn't remember that the other side of this family affair was Chen Pu. He could see that Wang Yi had no feelings for Chen Pu, and the reason why he was willing to marry her was because of Chen Pu's status as a princess of Changsha, so he didn't think there was anything wrong with persuading him to marry the daughter of the Tu family. But why did he forget Chen Pu? If Chen Pu falls in love with Wang Yi, will he be considered ruining other people's family affairs by doing this?

Fuck him! Saving a friend actually put his comrades in, what kind of bullshit is he doing!

He hurriedly turned around and first looked for Li Feng, who had been in the mansion all day and night; Duan Si and Gao Qiang don't settle down all day long, Li Feng is almost the big supervisor in the county uncle's mansion, and he is in charge of all major and minor affairs. Coincidentally, Duan Si was actually in the mansion today, and it was Chen Pu who he received, so he grabbed Duan Si and asked, "Chen Zhuguo came over today, is there anything abnormal?" ”

Duan Si was chatting around the brazier with a few guards who were not on duty in the side room, boasting about his various abilities and abilities in the Plains General's Yamen and the military department, and was suddenly dragged under the corridor by him. ”

"Really?"

"Nope!" Duan Si said categorically and affirmatively. After a pause, he added, "However, I seem to be in a good mood when I look at her, and I smile all the way." ”

Shang Cheng nodded and said nothing. Of course he could trust Duan Si's words, but Chen Pu's performance was a bit difficult to figure out, maybe she didn't think about remarrying, or she didn't look down on Wang Yi...... He lowered his head and stood silently for a while, then turned around and walked towards the study without saying a word, leaving Duan Si, who was not at all scratched, under the corridor and continuing to blow the cool breeze.

When he entered the study, Chen Pu was holding the book and reading it intently. On the table at hand, there is preserved fruit in tea soup, and a large plate of fragrant golden pumpkin; There is already a pile of melon peels on the case. When I heard the doorway knock and looked up again, the man had already entered the house. She quickly stood up.

"Sit, you sit. They are all acquaintances, what kind of etiquette do you have to meet. Shang Cheng said with a smile. He has a ghost in his heart, so his smile is not so sincere. He also sat down, said with a smile on his face, "Look, I didn't even know you were coming over today." If I knew you were coming, I wouldn't have drunk any wine in the Yiguo Mansion. He said this to test whether Chen Pu came to him to settle accounts. He took the opportunity to pour tea and soup and glanced at the book that Chen Pu put down, which was the legendary novel "Kanhou" written by the people of this dynasty, telling the story of a talented man on earth and a beautiful woman in heaven. He grinned, and turned his gaze back as if nothing had happened.

Listening to his words, Chen Pu first froze for a moment, then glanced at him a few times, his face was full of awkward looks that he wanted to laugh but couldn't laugh, and asked him, "Are you really eating at the Yiguo Mansion?" ”

Shang Cheng reacted immediately, and his lame lie was seen through by Chen Pu. But this is not a bad thing, at least he can see that the smile on Chen Pu's face is all from the heart, which shows that the "wrong thing" he inadvertently did is actually a good thing for both Wang Yi and Chen Pu. He laughed, this time with a sincere smile, and said, "What kind of food?" When he entered the Yiguo Mansion, he didn't even drink two sips of tea and soup, and he was dragged out by Wang Yi's uncle. Wang Yi is not authentic, he didn't say hello beforehand, so I didn't have dinner last night, so I waited for the wedding gifts for him to come back at noon today......" As he spoke, he frowned and shook his head with a long sigh, as if he was very reluctant to give up those gifts. “…… As a result, I went out hungry and gray. Alas, this time the deal is a loss to grandma's family. ”

His words and expressions were exaggerated, and he played the appearance of a miser, making Chen Pu so funny that he covered his mouth and giggled, and teased him: "Then there is no way, you will be determined to lose it." And he said, "Who taught you not to think about it beforehand?" You don't want to think about it, you are now in the Shangzhu Kingdom, and the rank is almost too high to be higher, you went to the Wang family to congratulate you, who else in the Yiguo Mansion can come forward to entertain you? ”

Shang Cheng nodded approvingly and said, "I have learned a lesson by eating a trench and growing wise." If anyone gets married again, I must first figure out whether I can sit at the table. If you can sit at the table, you may wish to give more gifts, and if you can't sit at the table, you have to give less. ”

Chen Pu was amused by him and giggled again.

Shang Cheng asked her, "When did you return to Beijing?" ”

"I came back after yesterday morning."

"When we met last time, you said that you had an urgent matter to rush back to the Gyeonggi camp, so the matter was handled properly?" Shang Cheng asked her again. As soon as the words came out, he suddenly realized: the last time he saw Chen Pu, she was worried, and when she asked, she also deduced that there was something important in the Gyeonggi camp, and it seemed that most of what she was worried about at that time was that she was going to be pointed out to Wang Yi by Emperor Dongyuan. Ha, for a long time, I not only guided Wang Yi out of the maze, but also helped her a lot by the way......

Chen Pu restrained his smile and did not answer immediately. She pursed her lips and looked at the green bricks under her feet for a long time before she said faintly: "Zida, thank you." She didn't look up at Shang Cheng when she spoke, still looking at her feet.

Shang Cheng didn't pay attention to her expression, nor did he notice the tone of her voice, he just waved his hand indifferently. He was a bit reckless this time, and he didn't deserve Chen Pu's gratitude at all. Seriously, he only thought about Wang Yi's future and didn't care about Chen Pu's feelings at that time, and he should have apologized to her to be right. Fortunately, Chen Pu himself does not yearn for or even reject this family affair, otherwise, what he did would not be just a sentence of "sorry" that can be replaced?

"Really, I'm grateful......" Chen Pu still lowered his head.

Shang Cheng didn't know what to say. He didn't help Chen Pu much, and it was also a mistake to let her get out of the family affairs of the finger marriage, what kind of gratitude do you need her to express?

Chen Pu seemed to see Shang Cheng waving his hand, and said in a particularly accentuated tone, "...... Thank you. ”

Shang Cheng couldn't help but look at her strangely. He only found out now that it had only been more than ten days since they last met, and Chen Pu had almost lost a lot of weight, and the carefully cut Shizi winter clothes looked very wide, and it seemed that she had been anxious about this family affair when she wore it empty......

He sighed silently, not knowing what to say to say comfortingly. If it were someone else, he might say something like "Don't worry about it anymore" to comfort him. But Chen Pu is a princess, and the decision on marriage is never in her hands, she can avoid it this time, but she may not be able to avoid it next time. So he didn't want to say anything meaningless, so he could only sit silently with her.

Chen Pu's thinking was obviously not as deep and long-term as he thought, seeing that he didn't speak, he thought that he had accepted his gratitude, and quickly said happily: "Of course, in addition to some people who are grateful to you, there are also people who hate you......"

"Who?" Shang Cheng made a look of surprise and asked, "Who hates me?" In fact, he knew exactly what he was annoying people with. In addition to the king of Chengdu, of course, it is Chen Pu's father, Emperor Dongyuan. By the way, he was worried just now that Chen Pu was angry with him, and he forgot an important matter, where did she fight and heard that Wang Yi married the daughter of the Tu family, and she was behind her back?

"My aunt." Chen Pu named someone who surprised him very much. "It's the old lady of Yiguo, she hates you very much. As soon as I came back yesterday, I heard that Xiande was going to get married, so I hurriedly packed up my gifts and went to Yiguo Gong to catch the gift, but my aunt said that their old Wang family would never teach people surnamed Shang to come to the door in the future. ”

Shang Cheng was relieved. From the mouth of the old lady of Yiguo, it was very common. Of course, her old man is bent on climbing high branches, and she has broken her wishful thinking, can she still hold a grudge against herself? He didn't plan to teach Wang Yi to hide from his mother, so he also discussed with Wang Yi a way to cover up: no matter who he was, he said that Wang Yi had a deep affection for the daughter of the Tu family on the one hand, and on the other hand, he was grateful for God's grace, and he couldn't give up on both sides, so he simply left the final decision to God to choose; He lost money ten times in a row, but every time the words were up, since the will of heaven could not be violated, so he married the daughter of the Tu family...... He sighed bitterly and said, "It's me who is wrong, I shouldn't have come up with such a bad idea." But where did I think that Wang Yi's luck was so moldy, that he could throw out ten words in a row? If I knew this was the case, I should have gambled with him, maybe his family's big mansion was also surnamed Shang. ”

Chen Pucai drank water with a cup of tea, squirted out with laughter, and choked himself to cough for a while.

Shang Cheng couldn't come over to help, so he had to say next to him: "What are you in a hurry, drink slowly." Don't worry, I won't rob you. ”

This was not much coke, but for some reason, Chen Pu just thought it was funny. The more she laughed, the more she couldn't hold it back, and finally squatted on the ground and clutched her stomach and screamed. Finally, when the laughter passed, she sat down again and suppressed her smile and said, "Don't talk about that." I've got something serious to tell you. ”

Shang Cheng also made his expression solemn, nodded and said, "Then let's get down to business." He immediately added, "Excuse me, weren't we getting down to business?" ”

Chen Pu laughed again with a "poof". She narrowed her eyes and stared at Shang Cheng hatefully. Seeing Shang Cheng sitting in the chair, his hands on his knees and his waist straightened, and his subordinates who listened to the general's teachings and reprimands looked a little annoyed, and he was about to smash the teacup with his hand, Shang Cheng spoke first:

"General Yu: There are no ambushes outside, so you don't need to smash the cup!"

With this common joke in the drama book, Chen Pu's breath that had finally brewed was immediately discharged, no matter how she gritted her teeth and resented, she could no longer gather the momentum just now, but the more she thought about it, the more she felt that Shang Cheng's words were really funny, she tensed her face several times but always couldn't stop her smile, and she was angry and anxious and touched her waist one by one, she had to pull out the general's sword and hack the bastard in front of her!

Shang Cheng knew that it wouldn't be fun if he kept joking anymore, so he put away his smile and asked her, "What are you talking about?" "He's a little curious. He can't intervene in family affairs, she is not qualified to participate in state affairs, and none of them can say anything about world affairs, so what can Chen Pu say to him?

Chen Pu asked, "Have you ever had any grudges with General Yang?" ”

"Auxiliary Gong Yang Du?"

"Hmm."

Shang Cheng shook his head and said strangely, "What kind of grudge can I have with him?" When he was in the army, I was still a seven-rank captain with a sesame size, what is the difference between grudging with him and stuffing my head in the tiger's mouth? Besides, I've been in Yanshan, and he's basically in Jingshi, so I don't have a chance to grudge with him. ”

Chen Pu said: "If you think about it carefully, did you inadvertently offend him? ”

"Don't think about it!" Shang Cheng said very simply, "I have only met him twice in total. The first time we met was in early July this year, when I asked the Prime Minister's Office to approve the autumn strategy, he asked me in the Prime Minister's Office, and it was just two sentences. The second time was when I first entered Beijing, I went to find Zhang Pu's bad luck, and it happened that he was also in the Prime Minister's Mansion to participate in the military meeting of the Southern Expedition, and they happened to break up when I entered the Mansion; This time, we both said a word, which was to give each other a military salute. He spread his hands and looked at Chen Pu. You say, just two times like this, how can I grudge with him? ”

"I mean, did you inadvertently offend him?"

Shang Cheng understood, Chen Pu must have pointed something, she must have heard what Yang Du said. But he has been in Yanshan since he became a soldier, and in the past two or three years, he has either been busy with government affairs or worried about the military. When he arrived in Beijing this time, he reminded himself all the time that he was going back to Beijing to "recuperate", so he never went out at all, and he was bored at home every day counting rats and catching lice, and he was so idle that he had plans to hibernate.

He lowered his face and asked, "Just tell me straight, what is the matter?" "Yang Liehuo really wants to stir up trouble, then he is not ambiguous; Others are afraid of Fu Guogong, and he is not scared by the county uncle!

Chen Pu bit his lip and thought for a while, then said, "Old General Yang said that he just fell in love with a singer, and before he could go to the sect to discuss the matter of redemption, you snatched the woman away. ”

"He's!" Shang Cheng's eyebrows were raised. "You go out and look in this Ying Bo Mansion to see what Kaki Maiko is hiding there. Damn, I can't even understand what they're singing, what are you doing when you snatch them back? Do you want to make a decoration! ”

Chen Pu believed what Shang Cheng said. She had heard others say more than once that Shang Yanshan didn't have half a bone on his body, and he couldn't even do a small order at a banquet. Every time someone else beats the drum and passes the flowers to make an order at the banquet, he only punishes himself three lamps in addition to self-punishment three lamps, and occasionally he can hold back a small order and a half branch when he is in a hurry, but it is not the right word or the rhyme is wrong, and it is still a punishment of three wines. She had also seen with her own eyes that when others were drunk and cheering loudly for their singing and drumming skills, he fell asleep next to him because he didn't understand it at all...... Thinking of the embarrassing situation where he was exposed at that time, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but show a smile. But Yang Du's words are not groundless. This time, she heard Yang Du say with her own ears in the camp of Liyuan, Shang Yanshan was lustful, and snatched the orchid she liked home first.

She reminded Shang Cheng and said, "General Yang said that you robbed an orchid." ”

"Orchid?" Shang Cheng opened his mouth wide in astonishment and asked, "Is it called Sang Xiu?" ”

"Seems to be the name. It is said that he has just become famous for rap books in the capital......" Chen Pu said. She stopped, lowered her eyelashes, looked at the tea soup that had no hot steam in the bowl and was silent for a while, and said, "I shouldn't have said this." However, Zida, you don't need to quarrel with someone for a orchid, and it's even less worthwhile to have a grudge with General Yang. If you...... So what...... That's it, there are a few singers and maiko in my house now, and their looks are the best choice, so I will give them all to you. After speaking, he looked at Shang Cheng with his eyes.

Shang Cheng frowned and ignored her kindness, and asked bluntly, "When did the news come out?" ”

"It doesn't matter when the news came out, what matters is that you don't have to make a grudge against General Yang for a bearded girl." Chen Pu couldn't understand Shang Cheng. When was this all the time, and he asked Yang Liehuo when he said these words? She was a little annoyed, and her tone became stern, saying, "It's not worth it, it's even more boring!" ”

"When the hell?" Shang Cheng was not as loud as hers, but his tone was more resolute than hers.

"Just this month." General Zhuguo couldn't resist Shangzhuguo, so Chen Pu had to answer Shang Cheng's words first. "Actually, someone spread it last month, but not many people knew about it at that time......"

Shang Cheng nodded. He shook his head and laughed, first briefly told Chen Pu about Sang Xiu, and then said, "Things are not what you imagined. This matter has nothing to do with Sang Xiu. You don't have to worry, I know what Yang Liehuo is doing. Look back and see how I cleaned him up! He snorted coldly in his nose and said with a smile, "Since Yang Liehuo provoked me first, of course I have to teach him to know that I am so easy to bully!" ”

"Don't be stupid!" Chen Pu said anxiously.

Shang Cheng smiled. Stupid? He won't. Yang Du was calculating, seeing that Xiao Jian was about to fall and the delicate balance in the army was about to be broken, he desperately tried to find a way to save himself, but unfortunately no one in the older generation could compete with him except Xiao Jian, so he had to hit his thoughts on his head. Alas, there is no way, he is also in the same embarrassing situation as Yang Liehuo, he is worried that he can't find a pillow to sleep, and it just so happens that Yang Liehuo wrote the beginning of the script, so he had to reluctantly cooperate with Yang Du to act in the big drama of the incompatibility between the mountains and the mountains in the field......
