Chapter Seventy-One: Give Me a Cigarette
Wu Mei lived in the Hou Mansion, and the people up and down the Hou Mansion did not treat Wu Mei as an outsider, and their diet and daily life were the same as Zhao Chen's. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Especially Ji Ning'er, for some reason, Ji Ning'er and Wu Mei are particularly close to each other, in one day, Wu Mei will be there for most of her efforts, and when the two stay together, they can hear the laughter of the two from afar.
provoked Xiangcheng to mutter there all the time, but he didn't know that these two women, one big and one small, had so many things to say!
However, for Zhao Chen, Wu Mei and Ji Ning'er get along so well, and they are somewhat relieved, in the final analysis, Wu Mei can stay in the Hou Mansion, although Wu Mei can work hard, but it is also inseparable from Zhao Chen's role in it.
For Wu Mei, Zhao Chen has a little sympathy from the bottom of his heart, no matter what kind of hegemony Wu Mei is in the history he is familiar with, but at least in Wu Mei's childhood, Zhao Chen will always sigh.
This is probably the effort he made by acquiescing to Wu Mei and deliberately getting closer to Ji Ning'er, so as to stay in the Hou Mansion!
Besides, he didn't have the heart to focus on Wu Mei now, because, just yesterday afternoon, the army that had already set off finally sent a message.
Li Er's place, naturally, Li Jing is in charge, but Zhao Chen is here, but it is Dugumou who sent a message alone, saying that they have launched a surprise attack on Tuyuhun, as Zhao Chen expected, in the Tang Army, which has high-end weapons to join, as soon as it comes into contact with the Tuyuhun army, it will let the Tuyuhun army suffer a catastrophe.
Under the first battle, Tuyuhun collapsed on the whole front, and Murong Fuyun was even more in a panic, ignoring the tribal army behind him, and fled alone with his cronies, and when he sent a letter to Zhao Chen, Li Jing had already ordered Dugu Mou to chase Murong Fuyun with a thousand people from the new army.
"I'm afraid I'm going to suffer some sin!" In the study, Zhao Chen looked at Dugumou's letter again, and at the end, he stuffed the letter back into the envelope, thinking about the plateau in August, when it was already snowing, he couldn't help but stretch his waist and said with emotion.
When these words fell, he stretched out his hand and habitually stretched out to the tea bowl on the table, but he unexpectedly touched the air, and when he raised his head suspiciously, he saw the wheat next to the desk, holding the tea bowl in a daze, obviously looking like he was wandering outside.
"What do you want?" This girl is also slim now, wearing a lake-green skirt, standing there in a daze with a tea bowl, it is really interesting, which provoked Zhao Chen to reach out and pat it on the wheat head, and joked with a smile.
"No... It's nothing! Being slapped on the head by Zhao Chen, the wheat finally woke up, rubbed the place where it had been slapped with one hand, put down the tea bowl with a flushed face, lowered his head to avoid Zhao Chen's gaze, and stammered.
"It's cold!" The weather in August, a bowl of tea can be as cold as ice water before you speak, Zhao Chen took a sip, and immediately frowned slightly, and said with a disgusted face.
"Oh~" Hearing Zhao Chen's disgusted words, the wheat agreed in his mouth, quickly took the tea bowl from Zhao Chen's hand, poured the herbal tea, refilled the hot tea, and carefully handed it to Zhao Chen.
"Tell me, what's going on!" Zhao Chen found out that wheat definitely has something on her mind, otherwise, this girl is definitely very clever on weekdays, but now, she is always distracted.
"Less... Master, can the wheat ask you something? Hearing Zhao Chen's serious inquiry, Mai bit his lip lightly, as if he was cheering himself up, and after a while, he suddenly raised his head and said tentatively at Zhao Chen.
"Okay!" Leaning comfortably on the chair, while blowing hot tea, taking small sips, he smiled at the wheat and said, "The young master is also very curious, what is on your mind as a girl!" ”
"Wheat said, less... Don't be angry, young master! Even though Zhao Chen had agreed, when Mai was about to speak, he suddenly looked at Zhao Chen and said to Zhao Chen repeatedly.
"Not necessarily!" Wheat's words are clearly related to him, and listening to this Nizi's tone, it seems that he is still quite sensitive, so Zhao Chen suddenly changed his previous attitude and said to Wheat: "Let's talk about it first, and when I'm done, the young master will decide whether to be angry or not!" ”
"Forget it, if the young master doesn't agree, the wheat won't be said!" As soon as he heard that Zhao Chen didn't have an accurate score, Mai suddenly lowered his head in disappointment, shook his head with an aggrieved face, and muttered in his mouth.
"Well, let's not talk about it then!" Zhao Chen is very familiar with wheat's temperament, and knows that this Nizi, since he has opened his mouth, there is no reason to swallow it again, so after hearing the words, he simply followed the words of wheat, put on a stinky fart that he likes to talk about, and said.
"Young master, you're cheating!" Sure enough, the wheat that didn't say anything just now, when she saw that Zhao Chen was even more crisp than her, she immediately raised her head aggrievedly and said to Zhao Chen.
"Then let's talk about it!" The teenage girl, with a straight face and a grievance, is still huge, so Zhao Chen immediately waved his hand and said to the wheat: "It's a big deal, the young master just promised not to be angry!" ”
"Okay!" Hearing that Zhao Chen finally agreed, Mai immediately pursed his lips, glanced at Zhao Chen secretly, and then asked cautiously: "Why did the young master let Xiao Wu live in our house?" ”
knew that the girl Mai didn't have any good words in her mouth, sure enough, when she heard Mai ask about Wu Mei, Zhao Chen regretted it in his heart, he couldn't say that he subconsciously sympathized with Wu Mei, right?
It is estimated that if he said this, he would accidentally reach Wu Mei's ears, and with his understanding of Wu Mei, he would have to run away from home in minutes!
"There's no reason for that!" Zhao Chen opened his mouth, looked at the wheat strangely, looked inexplicable, and said to the wheat: "Didn't you see, Xiao Wu fell in love with Ning Er, so he simply stayed with Ning Er as a companion!" ”
“… Is that really the case? Zhao Chen's words sounded very fake, but when Mai heard it, he actually showed a sense of relief in his eyes, and said to Zhao Chen in disbelief.
"Or else?" Zhao Chen avoided Wheat's gaze, lowered his head and took a sip of tea, and when he raised his head, he saw that Wheat's back was still there and frowned slightly, and he suddenly put on a black face, and said to Wheat: "Ask around all day long, it's time to find a mother-in-law!" ”
"If the young master finds a mother-in-law for Wheat, Wheat, he will immediately go to the river!" It's like a cat being stepped on by its tail, Zhao Chen's mother-in-law's sentence made the wheat suddenly look like it was fried, and he yelled at Zhao Chen with a red face, leaving Zhao Chen behind him with a hooded face, turned around and walked out of the door of the study.
"This girl is going to turn the sky upside down!" The wheat has already left, and Zhao Chen, who has only come back to his senses for a long time, recalled the appearance of the wheat just now, and suddenly slapped the table and said.
"What do you want to turn the sky upside down, husband?" As soon as Zhao Chen's words fell, the door of the study that had just been closed was pushed open again, and immediately, Xiangcheng came in with a puzzled face and asked Zhao Chen.
"Nothing!" Xiangcheng is the curious baby in the Hou Mansion, and he is very curious about everything, but Zhao Chen doesn't plan to give Xiangcheng a chance to be curious, and without waiting for Xiangcheng to ask again, he asked Xiangcheng rhetorically: "Is there something wrong?" ”
"Yes!" As soon as he heard Zhao Chen ask about this, Xiangcheng seemed to remember his business, and his face, which was still curious just now, suddenly became crying, and said to Zhao Chen: "Father sent someone over, saying that it was the emperor's grandfather who wanted to see you!" ”
Li Yuan wants to see him?
As soon as he heard Xiangcheng's words, Zhao Chen's expression immediately expressed his stunnedness, during this time, he had already heard that Li Yuan's body had a problem, but at this moment, he suddenly wanted to see him, which made Zhao Chen's heart chuckle inexplicably.
didn't ask Xiangcheng anything again, it is estimated that Xiangcheng is like him at this time, otherwise, he would not have put on a bitter expression at him.
The person sent by Li Er to call him was naturally the eunuch beside him, with a gloomy appearance, and he looked even more hateful than the unintentional old eunuch.
The carriage left the Hou Mansion and went straight to the palace, and when he entered the palace, he directly bypassed Li Er's Ganlu Hall and went to Li Yuan's bedroom.
"How long has it been since I called you, so you are too busy to see me here?" Entering Li Yuan's bedroom, from a distance, I saw Li Yuan sitting on a brocade collapse, looking at Zhao Chen who came in from a distance, and asked expressionlessly.
"What did the Emperor say!" I haven't seen him for more than half a year, Li Yuan has indeed lost a lot of weight, the flesh on both sides of his cheeks has been sunken, his face is full of age spots, and his face has become much darker, hearing Li Yuan's words, Zhao Chen hurriedly smiled and said: "I didn't hear that the Emperor Taishang has been in poor health recently, so I don't dare to come and disturb!" ”
"Well, forget it!" Knowing that Zhao Chen was making excuses, Li Yuan didn't intend to pursue it, waved his hand at Zhao Chen, motioned for Zhao Chen to sit in front of him, and said with a slight pant: "I called you over today, and I don't have anything else, I just want to hear what you say for a while, talk about things in the south and the north, I love to hear this!" ”
"It's done!" Zhao Chen smiled happily, and when he spoke, he had already come to Li Yuan, sat down in front of Li Yuan unceremoniously, and asked with a smile: "The Emperor wants to hear it, then the minister will tell the Emperor Emperor today!" ”
There are no other topics, no messy questions and answers, one sits on the brocade and listens attentively with a pair of ears, and the other sits opposite the brocade with a mouth.
From the snow-capped mountains in the distant Western Regions to the other side of the ocean thousands of miles away, from the underwater world where hundreds of millions of creatures live, to the inaccessible barren desert, one gets carried away when he speaks, and the other is obsessed with yearning.
Later, Li Yuan looked at where Zhao Chen was, swallowed the clouds and spitted fog, and suddenly said, "Give me a cigarette!" ”
“… Good! Hearing Li Yuan's request, Zhao Chen hesitated slightly, then smiled and took out one from the cigarette case, handed it to Li Yuan, and then approached Li Yuan and lit it for Li Yuan personally.
"It's hard to smoke!" In the end, he couldn't get used to the taste of nicotine, just a puff of cigarette went in, and Li Yuan coughed repeatedly, and when he stopped coughing, Li Yuan suddenly threw away the cigarette in his hand with a disgusted face, and said to Zhao Chen: "This thing, you should smoke less in the future!" ”
When the words fell, Li Yuan suddenly sighed, stared at Zhao Chen quietly for a long time, suddenly opened his mouth and smiled, and said to Zhao Chen: "I'm a little tired!" ”
“… Then Weichen retired! Hearing Li Yuan's words, Zhao Chen, who was originally sitting opposite, suddenly smiled slightly, and when he spoke, he stood up, bowed to Li Yuan, turned around and walked towards the outside of the main hall.
From beginning to end, there were no superfluous words, just like Zhao Chen came here in the past, he came casually, and then left at will, but unfortunately, only Zhao Chen understood in his heart that this time, I am afraid it will be the last time.
