Chapter Fifty-Seven: The Old Man Invites! (Congratulations to the book lover brothers on the throne of this month's number one fan)

Li Er's interest was very high, obviously, seeing with his own eyes in the military courtyard, those assembly lines seemed to be workshops, which made Li Er extremely satisfied, so Li Er, who was full of interest, simply waved his hand and made the imperial chefs in the palace busy. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

A little drunk, not to mention that in the face of Li Er and the three, none of them were casually perfunctory, so they had to accompany the three of them, where to push the cup and change the lamp, and when they came and went, they put themselves in.

Wine is a good thing, and occasional drinks can refresh the mind and invigorate the muscles and bones, however, wine is also a bad thing, such as when you drink too much, the uncomfortable energy is simply indescribable.

Therefore, after finally getting rid of the entanglement of the three of them and slipping out of the military courtyard, Zhao Chen lay down on the carriage, gave a word of instruction, and went straight to the Hou Mansion in Xinghuafang.

At this moment, he doesn't want to do anything, he just wants to go back to the house, take a comfortable bath, and then throw himself on the couch and sleep with him in the dark!

It's a pity that his extravagant hope of being so simple was interrupted by a person's life just after the carriage entered Xinghuafang!

The person who stopped the carriage in front of him claimed to be a small servant from Pingkangfang Taoyuan, who came to Xinghuafang to send a letter to Zhao Chen for a guest there, to put it bluntly, to invite Zhao Chen to Pingkangfang.

"Did that guest say anything about what to call him?" Hearing the conversation between the little guy and the stone outside the carriage, Zhao Chen, who was originally lying in the carriage and pretending to sleep, had to turn over and sit up, and asked curiously through the window.

As we all know, Chang'an's Pingkangfang is the most famous red light district in Datang, as soon as the night comes, the entire Pingkangfang is lit up with countless warm-colored lanterns, the sound of silk and bamboo inside, the warbler Yanyan's, from time to time you can see a familiar figure, in and out of Pingkangfang.

It's just that Zhao Chen has never been to Datang since he called Datang, and people who are familiar with Zhao Chen know this very well, and naturally no one has ever tried to invite Zhao Chen to go.

However, because of this, hearing that someone actually invited him to Pingkangfang at this moment, Zhao Chen felt a little surprised!

"Return to the Hou Ye!" Hearing Zhao Chen's voice in the carriage, the little guy who looked respectful outside immediately bent down at the carriage and replied cautiously: "The guest only sent the little one over, saying that if the Hou Ye asked, he would say that it was the old man of the Hou Ye, and the others did not explain to the little one!" ”

"The deceased?" Hearing Xiao Xiao's words, Zhao Chen suddenly frowned slightly, with a puzzled look on his face, since this person claimed to be his old friend, and he was not a person who understood his habits, for a while, he really couldn't guess who this person was.

"Yes!" Hearing Zhao Chen's self-talk in the carriage, the little guy outside immediately cautiously agreed: "The guest said, please Hou Ye no matter what, you have to go to Taoyuan, otherwise, I am afraid it will be difficult to see Hou Ye again in the future!" ”

"Stone, you go back at this time, and let Amu come over to catch the car!" Hearing Xiao Xiao's words, Zhao Chen, who was originally a little hesitant, immediately dispelled his hesitation, sat in the carriage and sighed slightly, and after a while, when he raised his head, he commanded at the stone outside.

In the Hou Mansion, Amu Nai is the number one master, born with a big man, infinite strength, just like a giant ape in the form of a human, tonight this guy who claims to be his old man, mysterious and secretive, in the case of uncertainty, Zhao Chen feels that it is more appropriate to bring Amu with him.

Although, he doesn't think that in today's Datang, there are still people who dare to eat the bear's heart and leopard gall and have any bad thoughts about him, but there is nothing wrong with preventing problems before they happen, and the most important thing is that he is also very curious, who this guy will be!

The stone went fast, and Amu came quickly, even if he was sitting in the carriage, he couldn't see the scene outside, but when Amu came out of the workshop, Zhao Chen still noticed it.

Without him, just because of the dull footsteps made when running, it felt like a wild bull, rampage!

"Go to Xinghuafang!" As soon as Amu came to the carriage, without waiting for Amu to speak, Zhao Chen was in the carriage and instructed Amu outside.

"Whoa!" Hearing Zhao Chen's command, Amu made a muffled voice, and then, he sat down on the carriage, pulled the reins violently, and the carriage that had just entered Xinghuafang went out of Xinghuafang and went straight to Pingkangfang a street away.

When I came out of the military courtyard, it was already very late, and by the time the carriage entered Pingkangfang a little along the way, the sun had already set halfway, as if it was already evening!

At this time, as the sun set, the quiet day of Pingkangfang also seemed to suddenly rejuvenate, along the streets of Pingkangfang, all the attics all the way to the past, countless lanterns were lit up in turn, crimson lights, the entire Pingkangfang, are reflected in an ambiguous atmosphere.

And when Zhao Chen's carriage entered Pingkangfang, the 'guests who had already come to the scene' could be seen everywhere in Pingkangfang at this time, talking and laughing with the girls who had good dealings with them, and they all looked like merry people.

The carriage went along the street of Pingkangfang, all the way to the Taoyuan in the south, it was this short section of the road, Zhao Chen was on the street, and met several 'adults' who had met on weekdays and always held the shelf, one by one talking and laughing, Zhao Chen who saw Zhao Chen in the carriage, couldn't help but chuckle and shook his head.

"Master Hou, that guest is upstairs!" The carriage entered the Taoyuan, and the little guy who went to invite Zhao Chen waited for Zhao Chen to get off the carriage, and immediately ran in front of him, leading Zhao Chen all the way to a two-story attic, and then said to Zhao Chen flatteringly.

Hearing the words of the little guy, Zhao Chen suddenly stopped, looked up at the attic in front of him, and when Zhao Chen looked over, it happened that a window page in the attic was open, revealing the ambiguous lights in the attic, and the pleasant sound of silk and bamboo in the attic at this moment.

"Go up!" He was very curious about the people waiting for him in the attic, so Zhao Chen just glanced at the attic, and then he took off his robe and said to Amu without looking back, and took the lead in stepping on the wooden stairs and walked up to the attic.

The attic in front of you, it can be seen, is the largest one in the peach orchard, go up the stairs, there is a portal in front of you, at this moment, standing in front of this portal, the sound of silk and bamboo inside, especially hear clearly.

And at this moment, on the portal, because of the lights in the house, the figure of a woman who was playing the qin was reflected on the portal, however, for some reason, Zhao Chen always felt that it seemed a little familiar when he saw the woman's figure.

"Your Excellency invited Benhou to come, but you don't know that it is the old man of Benhou?" Standing in front of the closed portal, Zhao Chen took a slight breath, and then, looking at the figure of the woman reflected on the portal, he looked into the room and asked.

'Ding~' As Zhao Chen's words came out, the sound of silk and bamboo originally coming from the house suddenly stopped, along with the figure of the woman reflected on the door, and then, I saw the woman get up, step on small steps to the door door, and pull the closed door from the inside.

“… Gardenia? However, when the door of confinement opened, Zhao Chen saw Gardenia's familiar face, his eyebrows suddenly furrowed, and he looked at Gardenia, who was smiling at him at the moment, and said in surprise.

Hearing the invitation of the old man before, Zhao Chen skipped many people in his mind, including the Wukong who drank wine and ate meat, but was more like a Buddha than any Buddha.

However, I didn't expect that this so-called old man turned out to be Gardenia!

"Gardenia and Zhao Hou first met in Goguryeo!" Looking at the surprised expression on Zhao Chen's face, Gardenia smiled more and more charmingly, as if reminiscing, looked at Zhao Chen and said: "Later, at sea and in Chang'an, although it was inevitable that there would be some unhappiness during the period, however, Gardenia said that it was Zhao Hou's old man, and it was not an exaggeration!" ”

“… Count it out! Hearing Gardenia's words, the corners of Zhao Chen's mouth suddenly twitched slightly, his eyes looked Gardenia up and down, and when he saw Gardenia deliberately dressed up, he smiled a little reluctantly: "However, Ben Hou couldn't imagine that Gardenia would make an appointment with Ben Hou here!" ”

"Chang'an is Zhao Hou's place, and Gardenia is just a passerby after all!" Hearing Zhao Chen's words, Gardenia, who was originally standing at the door, took a step back slightly, and then, bowed slightly at Zhao Chen, made a gesture of please, and said: "So, Gardenia is looking for it, and only here can Gardenia better entertain Zhao Hou!" ”

When he said this, seeing that Zhao Chen was still standing at the door, unmoved, Gardenia had no choice but to straighten up, looked at Zhao Chen and said: "Gardenia's matter in Chang'an has been done, and tomorrow morning, I will be ready to go back, is it possible, Zhao Hou doesn't even want to reward Gardenia for this thin face?" ”

"Are you going back tomorrow?" Zhao Chen, who was already not going to go in, heard Gardenia's words, so he had to put away his thoughts of leaving, nodded at Amu behind him, and stepped into the door as he spoke.

"yes!" Seeing Zhao Chen stepping into the door, Gardenia's face suddenly regained his smile, and when he spoke, he closed the door and followed behind Zhao Chen and said: "Stay in Chang'an, there is nothing to do, so Gardenia might as well go back as soon as possible!" ”

"The dock thing is settled?" Coming to the middle of the room, he took a fancy to a futon, Zhao Chen sat cross-legged, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, looked at the gardenia who poured him wine, and asked.

"Naturally!" Hearing Zhao Chen's words, Gardenia presented the poured wine bowl to Zhao Chen with both hands, and said with a smile a little proudly: "Not only that, but the emperor of the Tang Dynasty also promised that every year when the rice in the south of the Yangtze River is ripe, it will be sold to my country's ...... at a low price."

"It's so good, that Benhou is congratulations to Gardenia!" Hearing Gardenia's words, Zhao Chen's face changed unnaturally, but it was only a blink of an eye, and he had already recovered as before, and said with a smile at Gardenia.

"Thank you!" Since he just said the rice thing, Gardenia has been looking at Zhao Chen intently, as if he was capturing something, and when he saw the imperceptible and fleeting unnatural expression on Zhao Chen's face, Gardenia's heart that has been hanging these days was finally put down at this moment.

"You're welcome!" Hearing Gardenia's words, Zhao Chen immediately picked up the wine bowl in front of him, raised it at Gardenia, and said with a smile: "Since, Miss Gardenia can leave Chang'an early tomorrow morning, then this bowl of wine, I wish Miss Gardenia a smooth journey!" ”

When these words fell, Zhao Chen immediately didn't wait for Gardenia to speak, so he brought the wine bowl to his lips, took a sip gently, and then put the wine bowl on the table, as if suddenly there was something urgent, stood up and said to Gardenia: "Ben Hou still has important things to do at this time, so I will leave first!" ”

"Zhao Hou!" However, Zhao Chen had just gotten up, and before he had time to take a step, he saw Gardenia's face, which suddenly changed, and he looked at Zhao Chen with some coldness and said, "Zhao Hou At this time, is he in a hurry to see His Majesty of the Tang Dynasty?" ”

“… Ben Hou didn't understand Gardenia's words! As soon as Gardenia's words came out, Zhao Chen's eyes, as if he had really been guessed by Gardenia, suddenly flashed an unnatural look, but he still looked at Gardenia calmly and said.

"Xue Gong Zhao Hou doesn't agree, and Gardenia can't help it!" As for Zhao Chen's words, Gardenia continued to look at Zhao Chen as if he hadn't heard it, and said with a slightly sad look in his eyes: "But for Gardenia, it was not easy to get the maritime mutual trade from His Majesty the Tang Dynasty, and Zhao Hou refused to let go?" ”

"Miss Gardenia is too worried!" Hearing Gardenia's words, Zhao Chen's face showed an embarrassed smile for a moment, and when he looked at the gardenia in front of him, he said calmly: "Ben Hou is just going to deal with other things!" ”

"I hope so!" Listening to Zhao Chen's obvious justification, Gardenia showed a wry smile on his face, and then, his eyes suddenly stared at Zhao Chen without blinking, and said: "Actually, Gardenia invited Zhao Hou over today to ask Zhao Hou a word before Gardenia left!" ”

"What?" Hearing Gardenia's sudden words, Zhao Chen suddenly stopped, turned around, met Gardenia's gaze, and asked curiously.

"Gardenia heard that Zhao Hou knows many places, even the extreme west of the sunset!" Seeing Zhao Chen stop, Gardenia, who was originally sitting there, also stood up at this moment, looked at Zhao Chen and said, "In this way, Zhao Hou must also have a very clear understanding of my country, right?" ”

When these words fell, when she saw Zhao Chen looking at her with some puzzlement, Gardenia couldn't help but bow her head and chuckle, and then, looking at Zhao Chen, she suddenly said: "Gardenia is going back tomorrow, so what Gardenia wants to ask Zhao Hou is, is Zhao Hou willing to let his child become the master of that island in the future?" ”

'Whew! With Gardenia's words falling, Zhao Chen didn't have time to figure out the meaning of Gardenia's words, and was surprised to see that one of Gardenia's fingers suddenly pulled lightly on his waist.

In an instant, the blue kimono that was originally on Gardenia's body fell in response, and then a bumpy body, like a lamb, appeared naked in front of Zhao Chen.

ps: "Xianggong, it's the beginning of the month, do you think we want to ask for a monthly pass for Taibao?" ”

"This... I'll be scolded! Ning'er, you don't know either, the recent update of the Taibao is really a headache! ”

"But, the concubine heard that he was in Kavin!" (To be continued.) )
