Chapter 16: Accompany the lady to the banquet
The small building is named Zhaoyang, but it is also quite close to the sharpness of Zhao.
Speaking of which, Zhaoyang Building is not far from the library where Cui Wenqing lives, and there is a pool between the two floors, so it should not be difficult to see each other.
But because of the one-year agreement, Cui Wenqing and Zhi Zhao no longer took their marriage seriously, and they were very estranged from each other, and they didn't see each other in the past few days.
Cui Wenqing stepped into the building, and immediately saw a bright hall, two bronze lion and tiger incense burners at the entrance of the hall, and wisps of green smoke were emitting from the open fangs.
Look inside, a row of mahogany Bogu shelves, the most eye-catching on the shelf is a large plate of Jingdezhen official kiln, the rest is jade horses, golden elephants and other treasures, on the opposite wall hangs a cold iron carved bow, the Khitan text on it is clearly visible.
In the north of the hall, there is a thick and wide desk, on the left side is placed several square treasure inkstones, various color pen holders, the pen inserted in the pen holder is like a forest, and on the right side there is a big Ru kiln flower sac, which is full of white chrysanthemums with a bag of crystal balls.
Most of the Zhenwu Army, who had not seen each other for a few days, was sitting solemnly behind the desk holding a book and reading, with two curved eyebrows painted like distant mountains, a pair of beautiful eyes like autumn water, clear and elegant, and a beautiful complexion, which made Cui Wenqing unable to take his eyes off it.
"Governor, uncle brought it!" Mu Wan walked to the front of the desk and saluted loudly.
Belch...... Bring to? Dare to love me as a captive of this little girl?
Cui Wenqing couldn't cry or laugh for a while, but also came back to his senses from the moon-like beauty of Zhezhao, and reminded him: "General Mu, but your family has invited me over, don't be mistaken." ”
Mu Wan was stunned and was about to refute, when Zhi Zhao had already put down the scroll and said to her: "Xiaowan, you go out first, I have something to talk to my husband." ”
Mu Wan bowed slightly, glared at Cui Wenqing, and then left.
As soon as this woman left, only Zhi Zhao and Cui Wenqing were left in the hall.
"I invite my husband to come here today, because I have something important to discuss."
"Oh, what's the matter, lady, but it doesn't hurt to say it."
Cui Wenqing was also not polite, and found a desk table to sit down, leaning lazily on the table, which was in stark contrast to Zhe Zhao's precarious seat.
Seeing this, Zhi Zhao frowned imperceptibly, and asked in a deep voice: "I wonder if my husband has thought of a clever plan to deal with Zhi Weiben's father and son?" ”
Cui Wenqing replied with a smile on his face: "Do you think I am the reincarnation of Zhuge Wuhou?" You have to think about it slowly, but you can't hurry! ”
Zhe Zhao has led the army for many years, and he has long been accustomed to the way of deliberation of his generals standing solemnly and answering with their hands, how could he ever meet a lazy person like Cui Wenqing, and he replied so sourly!
All of a sudden, her chest rolled with bursts of anger, and a pair of pink fists couldn't help but clench secretly, if she hadn't suppressed herself, maybe she would have to shoot the case like in the army, and ordered the left and right guards to drag this guy out and cut it down.
It's a pity that the person in front of her is not her subordinate, but her nominal husband, and she can't be allowed to act rashly.
Thinking of this, Zhi Zhao's anger subsided slightly, and he got down to business directly: "Tomorrow at noon, this marshal will hold a celebration banquet in the shogunate of the Zhenwu army, and at that time, famous people from the political and business circles in Fuzhou City will come, you prepare and go with Ben Shuai." ”
Cui Wenqing was stunned for a moment and asked, "What's the matter, I, the impostor, still want to accompany you to eat and drink?" ”
"What an impostor!" Zhi Zhao couldn't hold back any longer, his slender hand suddenly slapped the case, and said angrily, "In the eyes of others, you Cui Wenqing is the husband of Ben Shuai, who will you go if you don't go!" Hugh has to talk more, wear beautiful clothes tomorrow, and go to the barracks with Ben Shuai! "A speech is like a thunderbolt, it is said decisively and directly, and there is no room for disobedience.
Cui Wenqing was unmoved as if he was fine, and said with a smile: "It's okay for me to accompany you, but there is one condition." ”
"Say!" Zhi Zhao coldly spat out a word, and his tone was like a knife.
Cui Wenqing's face finally showed a bit of solemnity in saying the right thing, and said: "In the past few days, the father and son have not taken action, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not take advantage of the celebration banquet to make trouble, maybe the spearhead is all pointed at me, no matter what the situation is, you must support me without reservation." ”
Zhi Zhao thought for a while, nodded and said: "That's natural, don't worry, as long as I don't die, I will definitely not let anyone harm you." ”
Cui Wenqing shook his head and smiled: "Don't say that death is so ugly, in short, we are now grasshoppers on a rope, working together to tide over the difficulties." ”
※※※
On the second day, Cui Wenqing got up lazily, tied his hair and cleaned his face under the service of lotus leaves, and changed into a set of moon-white robes, and then walked towards the front yard.
At that time, the morning dawn was shining, and the sun was shining all over the sky, and Zhi Zhao was already waiting in the courtyard.
is still wearing a silver soft armor, with a red and bright general's cloak tied on his shoulders, condensed like snow, his posture is fluttering, and his beauty has a quiet and elegant temperament, just like the goddess Venus who came out of ancient Greek mythology.
"Why are you here now?" The female governor frowned slightly, and her tone revealed a hint of blame.
"Hehe, sorry, I overslept." Cui Wenqing smiled leisurely, without the slightest look of shame on his face.
Zhe Zhao was angry for a while, but he was helpless to take Cui Wenqing, glanced at his decent dress, couldn't help but be satisfied, and said lightly: "It's not early, let's go, go out." After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the door with a crisp footstep.
Cui Wenqing smiled secretly and started to follow.
Outside the gate of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, there were already three empty saddle horses waiting here, and the tall horse in the center was as red as a flame when he saw Zhi Zhao, and hurriedly ploughed the ground with his front hooves, neighing incessantly.
Mu Wan patted the head of the red horse soothingly, and said with a smile: "Governor, Chiyun hasn't seen you for a few days, but I miss you very much." ”
Zhi Zhao walked up quickly, took the reins of the horse from Mu Wan's hand, stretched out his slender hand and gently stroked the long face of the red horse, and said with a smile: "Chiyun has been raised by me personally since he was a child, and his feelings are naturally not ordinary. ”
As if to verify her words, Chi Yunju hurriedly rubbed her arm lightly with the horse's head, looking very intimate.
"Alright, let's get on the horse." Zhi Zhao hurried away, and without saying much, his right hand was on the saddle, and the cloak behind him shook suddenly, and flew to the horse's back like a flame.
Mu Wan bowed her head slightly, and she also climbed on the back of the horse neatly, and sat calmly.
The two women were about to move forward on horseback, and suddenly felt that there was one person missing, and their beautiful eyes looked towards Cui Wenqing at the same time, implying strangeness.
Cui Wenqing stood in front of the only remaining black horse with an empty saddle, full of depression: Rub! Brother can't ride a horse at all, okay!
Seeing that Cui Wenqing hadn't moved for a long time, Zhi Zhao turned around and asked, "Husband, why haven't you gotten on the horse yet?" ”
Cui Wenqing smiled awkwardly and asked with a shy face, "This...... Lady Dudu, we have a great business in the house, don't we even have a sedan chair? ”
Zhi Zhao was slightly stunned, and then he understood the reason why Cui Wenqing had not been on the horse, and he couldn't help laughing.
