Chapter 235 Keeping the clouds open

Lord Dou is a well-known good man in Chen Duzhong, and if he says something ugly, he is timid and afraid, and no one dares to offend. [80 eBook.] Chen Baichuan saw that King Chen had sent this person over, and King Chen's meaning was already about to come out.

He took Dou Envoy into Daling City, with a smile on his face, and took Dou Envoy's arm and walked towards Xiaoliu Pavilion. The people who stopped to watch next to him thought that it was an old friend of Lord Qincha.

The small stream pavilion leans on the river and is built, and the beautiful woman caresses the qin, and is elegant and vulgar. There is a painting boat docked on the side, and the lights are colorful. The women are glamorous and vulgar, and they will never be covered with white powder, but they attract many literati and elegant guests in the city. There were scribes who recited poems against each other, and it also attracted many wealthy people who were selling their reputations.

Such a gold cave, a look at the face shocked the Dou envoy.

He is a marginal figure in Chen Duzhong, and he can't go up to the trend if he wants to be corrupt, and with only a meager monthly salary, he obviously can't afford to go to the good places that such men dream of. If it weren't for the fact that the lower officials would give him a little gold and silver, Lord Dou might not even be able to survive in Chen, after all, he would also have to pay a small tribute to his boss.

Mr. Dou recalls an experience he was fortunate enough to have when he was young. I still remember the extravagant scene of Qin Se and Ming and beautiful women dancing at that time, but compared with the eight women in white dresses dancing together in the room at this moment, and several people playing musical instruments on the side, the time when I was young was boring.

He couldn't help but burst into tears, this was the life he wanted. Ten years of hard work and hardship, in order not to be proud one day.

But now in Chendu, the life of being restrained by superiors, being angry with subordinates, and intriguing with colleagues is far from the original ideal. Maybe it's because he's unlucky, and it's not good to be a Beijing official, if he was put in the local area at that time, at least he could be greedy for a little bit of taxes, and his life would naturally be much better.

After the past came to mind, the depressed Lord Dou suddenly burst into tears, excitedly held Chen Baichuan's palm, and couldn't say a word.

Chen Baichuan's face was full of comfort, but in fact, he was sick to death, and the old man's snot and tears almost dripped onto his hands. Looking at the two lines of turbid liquid hanging from his lips, Chen Baichuan couldn't wait to immediately break his hand away.

It's just that Dou's envoy represents King Chen, and he can't be rude and don't say it for the time being, he is most afraid that this person will act together and play right and wrong in front of King Chen. Although Chen Baichuan believed that King Chen would not have bad thoughts about his two brothers for the time being, the future was unpredictable, and he didn't want to get into trouble at this time.

"Why is Lord Dou like this?" Chen Baichuan, who was clasped by Envoy Dou's palm, asked with a suspicious face.

Lord Dou was asked by him, and finally realized the rudeness and indecency of his current behavior, and he explained in a panic: "Xia Guan couldn't help but feel uncomfortable when he thought of his sad deeds. For this reason, I am offended by adults, and please don't be surprised. ”

His hand was finally retracted.

Chen Baichuan smiled with a spring breeze on his face and comforted: "In life, whoever has everything is going well, it is inevitable that there will be times when you can't help it." When I can't help it, it's good that Lord Dou shouldn't be surprised. But today's matter can't be just like that, and you will be fined three cups. ”

Chen Baichuan's words obviously put the two on the same level. Although Dou Envoy knew that he had received this preferential treatment because of his heavy responsibility, the little master of the Chen family, who leaned towards the government and the opposition, spoke to him like this, which still made him feel flattered.

At this time, he also had a little bit of courage left over from his youth in his chest, and said a little heroically: "It's just three glasses of wine, and the lower officials will naturally accompany them." ”

"Okay, Lord Dou is a real man!" Chen Baichuan also gave a few words of encouragement in a timely manner.

After three rounds of drinking, both of them had red cheeks and were drunk.

Dou envoy turned into a big tongue, and when he spoke, it seemed that he had something in his mouth, and he said without saying a word: "My lord treats me like this, just for the sake of the holy oracle, but I, but I am still very happy." ”

Chen Baichuan was more sober than Dou Envoy, and a lot of the wine that Dou Envoy toasted was sprinkled on his sleeves, but the wine he toasted Dou Envoy was drunk by Old Man Dou sincerely.

"Dare to ask, what is His Majesty King Chen's will to lead the army to Anling Province?" Chen Baichuan had no intention of harming this old man, these words would be said even if the old man was sober.

Envoy Dou let out an "ah" before he began to answer Chen Baichuan's question. He was drunk and hazy, and the Lord Chen in front of him had already been ghosted countless times, so he had no choice but to respectfully say to one of them: "Lord Chen has won the trust of His Majesty King Chen, and of course he has nothing to say about the matter of Lord Chen going to Anling. It's just that some people are in the name of the Chen family's brother's power to persuade His Majesty to veto your performance. ”

"Oh?" It was an accident.

Envoy Dou laughed and said, "Your Excellency, don't panic, there is the old Prime Minister Jiang who persuaded His Majesty King Chen, and His Majesty finally agreed." ”

Chen Baichuan breathed a sigh of relief, he couldn't help but think of what Old Man Jiang said when he came out to see him off on the day he left Chen Du. Now that Old Man Jiang has fulfilled his promise, Chen Baichuan secretly said in his heart, "Old Man Jiang's wish, I will also fulfill it." ’

He was a little surprised that Old Man Dou knew these things, and couldn't help asking, "How did Lord Dou know about these things?" ”

If it weren't for the fact that his memory ability is not what it used to be, he really wouldn't be able to remember this marginal figure surnamed Dou. How did such a little minion find out the news of the court officials.

Old man Dou said confidently: "But I heard it when my teacher was drunk. ”

It turned out to be nepotism......

………………

By the time the old man Dou poured drunk on the wine table, the sun had already set. The crescent moon hangs high, and the night falls.

Chen Baichuan ordered He Qiang to send the old man Dou to the post station to arrange accommodation, but he himself refused to take a sedan chair, walked back to his house with upside-down steps.

Nights are always colder than days.

Lord Chen, who was full of alcohol, was blown by the night wind, and the chill was great. He grabbed his clothes and quickened his pace.

Halfway through, look up at the sky.

The sky is gray during the day, and it is even more hazy in the darkless night. Chen Baichuan obviously couldn't see anything, but he still watched it for a long time. Probably just a whim.

In order to stop the strange gazes of the entourage around him, he felt that it was better not to look at the sky.

Entering the gate of Chen's Mansion, he was greeted by Wu Datou. There was still a little snow on his shoulders, and it seemed that he had been waiting for a long time.

When Wu Datou saw Chen Baichuan, the first thing he said was, "Has His Majesty King Chen allowed us to go to Anling Province?" ”

At this time, a ray of moonlight cast from the sky, shining on Chen Baichuan's face. Just look at him grinning and saying, "Yes, yes." ”

It turned out that the clouds and mist had dispersed, revealing the moon.
