Chapter 16: The Night (1)

At lunchtime, Chen Xu set up a banquet in the inner room, sent a soldier to guard Su Qin's door, and ordered him to get up when he found Su Qin and report to him immediately.

After Su Qin woke up, he turned over and lay on the bed for a while, but did not get up immediately. The soldier noticed that Su Qin had woken up and hurried to report to Chen Xu, who then came to Su Qin's door in person.

Seeing that Su Qin was still lying on the bed, he did not enter the house immediately, but waited patiently outside the door. It wasn't until Su Qin got up from the bed that Chen Xu cleared his throat outside the door and said, "Brother Su is up, I have prepared wine and food, please enjoy the light and talk to me." ”

Su Qin was a little embarrassed when he heard Chen Xu's words outside the house, and thought: "Chen Xu is really a humble gentleman, obviously much older than himself, he still calls himself 'brother', and he waits outside the door in person without tirelessness, and treats people very politely. ”

He thought of the benefits of Chen Xu, and immediately replied, "Thank you General Chen for your kind invitation." I'll come over here. ”

Saying that, he hurriedly put on his clothes and square crown, and after a while, he dressed up, walked to the door, and followed Chen to an inner room behind the lobby of the Chinese army.

The two of them sat down as guests, Chen Xu first raised a glass to celebrate his birthday, Su Qin returned with a birthday gift, and the two drank a few glasses. Chen asked Su Qin about Wei Wei's situation, and Su Qin described the scene he saw with his own eyes that Wei Wei missed his hometown.

Chen Xu was also very sympathetic to Wei Wei's plight, and he suddenly said, "Brother Su, do you know the way? Wei Wei still has relatives alive, and they are in this Quwo City. ”

When Su Qin heard the news, he was shocked and couldn't reply for a while.

Chen Xu continued: "Back then, the King of Wei captured Wei Wei's family, and it was under Xia that carried out this task, and I remembered that Wei Wei had made great contributions to the country, and suffered this catastrophe because of Wei Ying's frame, and the encounter was really sympathetic, so I dared to save one of the two sons and daughters, and found two dead bodies to replace them. ”

Hearing this, Su Qin came to his senses, applauded continuously, and rejoiced for Wei Wei.

Chen Xu remained silent, and said calmly: "Ten years ago, I took Wei Wei's children into the house, and in order to hide people's eyes, they were arranged into the music and dance class raised by the family. Five years ago, the king of Wei moved his capital from Anyi to Daliang City, 800 miles away, and I stayed behind to guard Quwo, so I brought them into Quwo to live. ”

Chen Xu mysteriously approached and whispered: "This matter is very confidential, and even my clan brother Chen Zhi doesn't know what to do. ”

Su Qin came to his senses and thought: "No wonder Chen Zhi was very suspicious of me just now, but Chen Xu was unreasonable, it turned out that he was confident that he could convince Wei Wei with family affection, and I was the person he needed to match!" ”

Chen Xu stared at Su Qin, observing the change in his expression. Su Qin was completely delighted, he tapped a few cases and sighed: "It's really better to plan than to calculate, with such an opportunity, we can make clever arrangements, not only to surprise General Wei Wei, but also to save Qu Wocheng, killing two birds with one stone." ”

Chen Xu nodded frequently, expressing deep agreement. Su Qin said again: "In Xia Bucai, I am willing to facilitate the reunion of General Wei Wei's family, but Gongsun Yan still needs General Chen to do something." ”

Chen Xu replied: "Brother Su, don't worry, Gongsun Yan used to be an official in the same dynasty as me, and I know his personality very well. ”

"We will arrange for an old acquaintance to meet him, and he will be presented with treasure and clever words, and there should be no problem. It's just that I don't know how to send General Wei Wei's sons and daughters to his side? ”

Su Qin thought about it and thought about it. He came up with an idea and said, "Aren't General Wei Wei's sons and daughters in the music and dance class?" Why don't we buy a music and dance class by General Wei Wei when Qin withdraws its troops, hide his children in it, and bring them back to Qin by the way? ”

Although Chen Xu was not sure whether he could succeed, he still clapped his hands and praised Su Qin for his cleverness. Su Qin was useful, and thought to himself: "I have done a great deed this time, and I can finally repay Wei Wei's kindness." ”

After lunch, Su Qin went back to his room to rest. Chen Xu immediately ordered someone to recruit Chen Zhi, wrote a secret report, and sent Chen Zhi to leave immediately, go to Daliang, and present it to the King of Wei.

He wrote in the secret report: Please ask the king of Wei to send Gongsun Yan's old acquaintance and friend to meet him with treasures, buy Gongsun Yan, and write to Qin Jun to withdraw his troops, which can solve the siege of Quwo.

As for the return of Wei's children, Chen Xu did not mention it to King Wei in order to avoid extraneous complications. He was worried that if the King of Wei knew the secret of Lu Dao back then, he would still punish him.

Chen Zhi was confused, and he didn't understand why Chen Xu had to obey Su Qinyan. Because of his brother's affection, Chen Zhi shook his head and took the order to go.

In the evening, Su Qin was sitting bored in the house, and Chen Xu invited him to his mansion to watch the music and dance performance, just in time to meet Wei Wei's children. Su Qin couldn't wait to see Wei Wei's children as soon as possible, and was overjoyed when he was invited by Chen Xu.

The two of them took a car together and came to Chen Xu's mansion.

Chen Xu's mansion was inconspicuous, hidden in an alley in the northeast of Quwo City, Su Qin entered the mansion gate and found that it was just a medium-sized courtyard with two entrances, facing south and facing north.

In the second courtyard, there are two small buildings facing each other, and the small building on the west side is a place for drinking and feasting and performing music and dance.

Chen Xu invited Su Qin upstairs, and the two sat on the railing, and the cool breeze was blowing in the building. Downhill is a small garden, purple and red, facing this situation, can not help but make people feel refreshed.

The housekeeper surnamed Shen in Chen Xufu saw the two of them seated, so he commanded a group of servants who were dressed plainly and neatly, served wine and food, and the two of them pushed the cup and changed the lamp.

Su Qin admired the wonderful scenery of Chen Xu's mansion and couldn't help but admire Chen Xu's taste: everything was simple and elegant but not emotional.

After a few glasses of wine, Chen Xu patted his palms, and then walked up from behind the pillars a group of light makeup musicians, there were six women and two men, a total of eight people, they stepped forward to give a salute, and then six of them formed a semicircle, four people each held a flute, a se, sheng, and a flute in their hands, one held a drum, one high-fived, and two girls wore tight rose-colored Luo skirts, hanging down and slender light green water sleeves, standing in the center of the semicircle. With the drummers beating the drums, the music and dance class began its formal performance.

The first track is the welcome "Xiao Ya? The Sh of the Deer:

Yo yo deer chirping, eating wild apples. I have guests, drummers and shengs.

Blowing the sheng drum spring, bearing the basket is the will. People are kind to me, show me to walk.

……

The gist of the song is that when you hear the deer crying happily, it grazes in the countryside. I have distinguished guests coming, drumming and blowing sheng to welcome them. The guest presented the gift in a basket, and he genuinely loved me and thus displayed perfect virtue. ……

Su Qin had heard the song "Deer Song" a few times at the banquet, but he felt that it was not as happy as today. He listened attentively to the two girls gently opening their lips and singing slowly to the melodious music; Watching them dance softly and gracefully, the long sleeves flying around the body like clouds and silk curls, I can't help but think out of the dust, feathering and ascending to the immortal.

Chen Xu originally wanted to introduce the dancers, but when he saw Su Qin's intoxicated demeanor, he didn't speak immediately. At the end of the song, Su Qin came to his senses, and Chen Xu only spoke at this time: "Brother Su, how is the performance of this music and dance class in my house?" ”

Su Qin praised it, especially the two dancing girls. Chen Xu followed his words, leaned close to Su Qin's ear, and said, "The slightly thin dancer among them is Wei Wei's daughter, formerly known as Wei Jia, and her pseudonym is Chen Jia. ”

Su Qin paid special attention to Wei Jia, and saw that she was about eighteen years old, with a slender waist, like a weak willow supporting the wind, and there was no joy or sorrow on her white jade-like melon seed face, a demure color, two bays like frowning eyebrows, and a pair of apricot eyes that seemed to be crying but not crying, looking so delicate and gentle.

The other girl who danced with Wei Jia was also a stunning beauty, she was a few years older than Wei Jia, with a well-proportioned and slim figure; The complexion is warm and flawless; The pink cheeks are ruddy, and the eyes are blurred; Fangfei is charming and charming, with all kinds of styles; In particular, a pair of soft and beautiful eyes are in a trance, rippling with intoxicating charm.

Su Qin looked at the two of them and was unconsciously deeply attracted.
