Chapter 502: There is no good wine and no good banquet
The eldest lady has attended, dressed up in gorgeous clothes, and a group of ladies who are destined to be together, everyone is patting on the back, seeing that the eldest lady wants to drink tea, one said: "Sister wants to drink tea?" I pour tea for my sister, my sister is golden, how can I pour it myself? ”
A woman rushed to pour tea for the eldest lady, the eldest lady knew how to enjoy it, squinted her eyes slightly and chatted with these women, seeing that the eldest lady wanted to eat, and the other woman hurriedly sent the preserved fruit over, and said: "Sister, I will take the preserved fruit for your sister." ”
What's more, seeing that the eldest lady was going to make it convenient, she said without hesitation: "Madam, I'll make it convenient for you." After finishing speaking, he felt inappropriate, the expression on his face was like a white cloud and a dog, and Chen Jintong, who really saw it, couldn't cry or laugh.
Everyone prepared gifts for Chen Yuying, but Chen Jintong, who was the lord of Xingyi County and the "sister of Chen Guifei", was empty-handed, and the eldest lady was very curious, thinking that Chen Jintong had a surprise, but in fact, Chen Jintong was not prepared at all.
Yes, not prepared!
The banquet began, Chen Yuying appeared like a starry moon, she wore a Zhenggong red dress, the color was really grandstanding, Chen Yuying's character was not very good, but the clothes were okay, this kind of red collocation was very eye-catching.
She also successfully caught Chen Jintong's eyeballs, Chen Jintong hated that she would not be so "enchanting", after Chen Yuying sat down, many people went over to give gifts, and Queen Chen, who came back from going to the toilet, had already sat next to Chen Yuying, and the two mothers and daughters were talking and laughing.
People sent gifts one after another, and soon the places where the gifts were put were piled up, Chen Jintong looked at it casually, according to incomplete statistics, if these gifts are changed, it is enough for one-fifth of the people in Zhongjing to have no worries about food and clothing for two months.
After a while, the emperor arrived.
When the Son of Heaven came, the women who had commanded them all knelt on the ground.
In that era, people were in awe of the emperor and didn't dare to look at it.
The emperor asked everyone to get up, and everyone didn't dare to communicate, a low pressure solidified, and everyone present felt it, Chen Yuying held the emperor's hand and said something delicately, the emperor looked at the gift next to him, smiled and nodded.
Suddenly, Chen Yuying got up and approached Chen Jintong.
Oops!
The highlight came, Chen Jintong saw Chen Yuying walking towards him "carelessly", and the alarm bell in his heart had sounded.
"Your Majesty, I heard that Tong'er has prepared a unique and mysterious gift, and everyone's gifts have been taken out, but Tong'er's hasn't been taken out yet, so you can also come and take a look."
Chen Jintong's gift is "no gift".
At this moment, Chen Yuying was nothing more than trying to make Chen Jintong embarrassed, but Chen Jintong coughed, and everyone gathered over, staring at Chen Jintong curiously exploring.
"Then give my sister 80 million." Chen Jintong opened his mouth.
When Chen Yuying heard this, she couldn't help frowning.
At that time, the currency conversion of one tael of silver should have been 860 yuan, 80 million? That's an astronomical amount, a court official can only earn 350 taels a year without eating or drinking, and the 80 million is something that Chen Jintong can't earn in a few lifetimes.
Everyone was surprised, could it be that the county lord of Xingyi was corrupt and accepting bribes in private?
Chen Jintong quickly answered everyone's questions with practical actions, "You must put the national economy and people's livelihood in your heart, you must make progress in stability, and you must ...... it" Chen Jintong sent it turned out to be eloquence, hearing these "10 million" not "10 million", everyone was so strange.
After finishing speaking, Chen Jintong pointed to those gifts, "Your Majesty, celebrating your birthday is not killing, it is not harmful, these gifts are all the people's fat and people's ointment that you have scavenged, it is inappropriate to give them to the concubine Niangniang like this, today is a good day for the concubine Niangniang, according to the humble position, take out half of these belongings and give them to the people." ”
Chen Yuying never dreamed that Chen Jintong not only did not give her a gift, but also deprived herself of her property in disguise, the eldest lady's eyes were shallow, and when she heard that she was about to speak, Chen Yuying could only break her teeth and swallow blood, "What Hitomi said is very true, I will deal with this matter later, and thank my sister for her 80 million." ”
"No thanks, no thanks, between you and me." Chen Jintong smiled dryly.
Killing people with soft knives, I don't know how much Chen Yuying will "hate herself" again after this incident.
But Chen Jintong didn't care about these, there were a lot of gifts from female dependents, as for men, such as Dongfang Xuanze and Gu Heng, they just sent a little rouge gouache at will, and the value was very low.
It's a good time.
Chen Jintong saw Dongfang Xuanze and hurriedly approached, as soon as the two of them appeared in front of everyone, they went in and out of pairs, their love was as thick as water, Chen Jintong stared at Dongfang Xuanze with a smile.
"You look better today than you did yesterday."
"It's so sweet, let me taste it." Dongfang Xuanze saw the stitches, and kissed Chen Jintong as soon as he found the opportunity, but the dragonfly kissed but was seen by Queen Chen not far away, she really envied their young love.
Chen Jintong and Dongfang Xuanze's love is a dance on the tip of a knife, and it is really full of dangers, but what about the two of them? But she was willing, Queen Chen thought that she could destroy them, but she knew that her conspiracy had become a touchstone on their emotional road.
She was very uncomfortable at the moment, and when she turned around, she saw Chen Yuying, who was surrounded by people like stars and moons, and her heart was even more cold, since Chen Yuying became a concubine, the emperor has never given her a good face.
She has lost her presence.
Chen Jintong saw Queen Chen out of the corner of his eye, and his heart was bright, Queen Chen was "envious, jealous and hateful" Chen Yuying.
"Eating this, it tastes great." Chen Jintong picked up a fruit and handed it to Dongfang Xuanze, Dongfang Xuanze saw that someone had bitten it on it, and immediately asked someone to change it, but Chen Jintong said, "Don't, I have bitten the plate in front of you." ”
"Is that a child? Take a bite of it all, this year's harvest of grains, will we not have anything to eat? Dongfang Xuanze stared at Chen Jintong incomprehensibly.
"Taste which one is the sweetest, these are the best." Chen Jintong handed it over with a smile, Dongfang Xuanze ate it, and the two of them flirted as if no one was around.
After a while, the two left the table and went to a secluded place, Chen Jintong said: "I'm going to go to see the third prince, and now I don't know what the situation is on his side." ”
The two were still worried about the matter of the Seventh Prince, and seeing that there was no one near Zuo, Dongfang Xuanze said: "I went to see him yesterday and said that the third child has been unwell recently, and Dumen thanked him." ”
"Excuses," Chen Jintong sneered, "It's all an arrangement, I'll take a look." ”
After a while, Chen Jintong arrived at the side of the third prince and found that many guards were patrolling, the number was terrifying, and someone saw Chen Jintong arrive and greeted him.
"Is it Lord Chen? What are you doing here? I must be visiting Your Highness, and I won't tell you, our Highness has been having a heartache recently, and he can't sleep well at night, and he has just fallen asleep at the moment, poor and poor. ”
