Uncle Cao's mansion. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the hall, Uncle Cao Guo was angrily educating his daughter and younger brother: "What is Jinxi's identity, you two know, how could you take her to that kind of place?" If it weren't for the timely appearance of the night hook, I don't know how much trouble it would have caused. ”

Zhao Jinxi is naturally not good at this time, her identity is special, although she is from the current queen and was named the princess of Qi, but she is raised in the Cao family, and most of the ministers in the court do not know that the current princess of Qi lives in the Cao family. This involves the secret history of the palace, which is naturally not enough for outsiders!

Uncle Cao Guo counted down again, and then gave up.

Cao Huanting and Cao Jingshang hurriedly came over to greet Zhao Jinxi for a while, and Ye Jin, who was sitting in the corner, got up and saluted Zhao Jinxi: "Your Highness, the official family is waiting for the princess." ”

Zhao Jinxi nodded, gave Cao Huanting a look, and then got up and left with Yejin.

After Zhao Jinxi and Yejin left, Uncle Cao Guo breathed a sigh of relief and said to his daughter: "Punish you for being grounded for two months, and you." ”

Cao Jingshang had a bitter face, looked at his little niece, but didn't dare to say a word.

Uncle Cao Guo, as the younger brother of the current queen, is naturally one of the few people who knows why Zhao Jinxi wants to live in his own house. And there are not many people who know Zhao Jinxi's true identity, and those black-clothed people today are the dead soldiers of the White Tiger Hall in Western Xia, and their purpose is naturally to kidnap Zhao Jinxi. Thinking that the princess of a country was kidnapped in the capital, what a slap in the face! Fortunately, the people of the Imperial City Division had already prepared, otherwise those dead soldiers of the White Tiger Hall would really have to succeed today. Although he was a man of the Word, he did not fully believe what the man in the palace said.

Chen Yan returned to his house under the escort of a team of forbidden troops, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw Wang Dynasty Ma Han Tieniu and Zhao Zongxuan standing in a hurry!

"What's the situation?" Chen Yan looked at his brothers with some confusion.

Zhao Zongxuan glared at him fiercely and said, "You don't know what happened to the Nancheng Night Market?" Still running around! ”

"Ugh! Well, I was wrong! ”

Seeing that Chen Yan's attitude of admitting his mistakes was quite good, everyone forgave him, but the things he bought were divided on the spot.

Chen Yan doesn't care, he's short of money now?! Fortunately, the things he bought for Gu Qiaoxi and Shuang'er were in his arms, otherwise he would really lose a lot!

Sent away his brothers, as soon as they entered the inner courtyard, Gu Qiaoxi and Shuang'er came around, Chen Yan was afraid of their interrogation, so he directly took out the hairpin and pearls, and said with a smile: "For you, how about it?" ”

The second daughter didn't answer, her little mouth was very high, Chen Yan had to smile and say, "Not next time, not anymore!" I can't admit my mistake! Do you still have food at home, can I get some for your father-in-law? ”

Shuang'er snorted and said, "Next time, I won't let you enter the door." ”

Chen Yan patted his chest and promised that there would never be a next time, so the second daughter let him go, happily took the items that Chen Yan bought for them, and then went to instruct the mother-in-law in the kitchen to prepare some supper for Chen Yan.

Sitting in the study, drinking fragrant tea, Chen Yan felt that something was wrong, he was the master of this family, right? How do you feel so angry! Speaking of which, whether it is Gu Qiaoxi or Shuang'er, they have no consciousness as concubines at all! If you are someone else, where can you still tolerate your concubines to be cold to you? Fortunately, Chen Yan's temperament is generous, whether it is for the people around him or the people in the house, so Gu Qiaoxi and Shuang'er are so unscrupulous.

After a while, Gu Qiaoxi and Shuang'er brought the food up, so where Chen Yan sat eating supper, the two beauties, one big and one small, sat and looked at him directly.

"No, you look at me like this, I can't eat it!"

Shuang'er snorted: "Could it be that Sister Gu and I have to look down at the ground?" ”

"Ugh!" I have to say that Shuang'er's ability to choke people is getting better and better, Chen Yan didn't care about it at the time, and said: "It's rare that the three of us are at home, so let's discuss the New Year." ”

Gu Qiaoxi smiled slightly and said: "Don't bother with the minister, these days, the concubine and Shuang'er have almost bought." ”

Chen Yan picked up the dishes and chopsticks and continued to eat, and said while eating: "This month, the wages of the maids and mothers-in-law in the house are doubled. Shuang'er, the guys in our store are all like this. In addition, let's close down in the new year, and reopen after the New Year. ”

Shuang'er nodded, indicating that he had written it down, and thought for a while: "Childe, did you want to take stock of accounts that year ago?" ”

"No, let's wait until the New Year."

Chen Yan ate supper for half an hour, and the three of them also chatted for half an hour, talking about short things in the family. Gu Qiaoxi might be able to guess some of the things that Chen Yan really planned, and Shuang'er naturally wouldn't think about it so much.

After eating supper and reading a book for a while, Chen Yan returned to the bedroom and lay on the bed, he really had a lot of thoughts, hehe, Zhao Jinxi is a princess, doesn't that mean that he has no drama in his life? ! Your uncle, this thing is really damn bad! If Zhao Jinxi is the next identity, he may be able to succeed if he works hard, but she is the emperor's daughter!

Early the next morning, Chen Yan got up and began to exercise in the yard, and in the past few months, he insisted on exercising almost every day, after all, this is the capital, even if he can't practice martial arts, it always doesn't hurt to make his body stronger.

Gu Qiaoxi finished dressing up in her room, and saw her husband doing some strange actions in the yard, she was already used to it, and knew that her husband was exercising, so she went out of the room, came to Chen Yan's side, handed over a handkerchief and said: "The weather is already so cold, Xianggong will exercise less, if he has typhoid fever, it will be terrible." ”

Chen Yan got up, wiped the sweat on his face and said, "It's out of the way!" By the way, where do you have how much silver you have? ”

"One hundred taels."

Chen Yan thought for a while and said, "Oh, then bring me some of the credentials of the bank, and I'll go get some cash, it's almost the New Year, it can't be too shabby, right?" ”

Gu Qiaoxi nodded, the expenses of the family these days are not small, but firstly, the income of the two stores is getting better and better, and secondly, there are more than 10,000 taels of silver in the money bank, even if it is such an expense as it is now, I am afraid that it will not be a problem in a few years.

After breakfast, Chen Yan went out with the credentials of Qian Zhuang, how could he buy some gifts and go to Yan Mansion to have a look, because Zhao Zongxuan's wedding will be in a few days, and he is afraid that he will have to go over there to help, and there should be no time.

After taking a thousand taels of silver and carrying a heavy bag, Chen Yan went directly to Qingxuan City and walked for more than an hour before buying all the gifts. I bought an ivory folding fan for Yan Jidao's bear child, a square inkstone for Yan Jiwen, some fine rouge gouache for Yan He and Yan Liu, and some gems for my wife, and the heavy bag of silver was less than two hundred taels.

After entering the Yan Mansion, it was still Yan who received him with the bear child, Chen Yan directly put a lot of gifts on the table, picked up the tea bowl and drank a few big sips and said: "Everyone has a share, little junior brother, the ivory folding fan was given to you." ”

Yan Jidao snorted, but he didn't look at it, and said, "Don't think about hitting my sister and sister." ”

"Can you say something else!?" Chen Yan is very helpless, how many Yan Dao can't it be that there is a sister or sister complex? ! There is no record in this history book!

The two of them were arguing, and the family in the house came to report, saying that it was the pavilion proofreading, and Sima Guang of the Taichang Rite Institute came to visit.

Chen Yan was a little puzzled, what did Sima Guang do here?

Speaking of Sima Guanglai, although there have been several ups and downs in this person's career, he has been steadily rising. According to Chen Yan's understanding of Sima Guang, this person has great talent in his heart, but he lacks knowledge, otherwise he will definitely become the second Fan Wenzhenggong.

Yan Jidao looked at him and said to the family, "Please ask Mr. Sima to come here." ”

The man answered and hurried away.

Yan Jidao then said: "Brother Ji Chang, doesn't he know that Mr. Sima is the teacher of my eighth brother?" ”

Chen Yan rolled his eyes: "How would I know!" ”

After a while, Sima Guang walked in slowly, dressed in a green robe, with a dignified appearance, and a righteous and awe-inspiring attitude between his eyebrows, very literati.

Chen Yan and Yan hurriedly got up and clasped their fists in salute.

Although Sima Guang was Yan Ji's teacher, he didn't dare to ask for it and returned the gift of his peers. Where is Yan Shu's identity and status, he is Yan Shu's descendant, one in front of him is Yan Shu's son, and the other is his student, so it is right to return to the courtesy. This can't help but make Chen Yan sigh again, identity is really useful! Otherwise, with him as an unknown scholar, how could Sima Guang look at him with straight eyes?!
