Chapter Eighty-Eight: Evenly Matched
γLewenγ. Alas, for you to read wonderfully.
"Not really." Sun Rong hesitated to respond, "There are only two princes, one ...... That's a fool. β
"But the fool has an ambitious and knowledgeable mother, and a foreigner who has been rising in recent years. The one who is not stupid has nothing to rely on. β
"The Sun family? The eldest princess also returned from Changsha. Sun Rong furrowed his eyebrows, if it was really as the master said, the two princes were an evenly matched dispute, and it would not be suitable for their lord to be in the capital at this time.
"If it weren't for the crisis, how could the eldest princess sneak back from the starry night of Changsha Kingdom, and it would not be very peaceful along the way." Pei Qing thought about the time when Li Yan and Chen Yanfeng saved the eldest princess and others, that time, if it weren't for the coincidence and coincidence, Chen Yanfeng was extremely rare to meddle in affairs, this eldest princess was afraid that she would not be able to enter the capital, and the situation in the capital would ...... It should be a lot clearer now than it is now.
"That's an idiot." Sun Rong sighed, "What about the Shen family? β
"It doesn't matter if you're stupid or not." Pei Qing was silent for a while, "Uncle asked me what I meant. In the past few years, the Chen family has not offended, and now that Chen Yanfeng is in the capital, the Chen family is about to look at what Chen Yanfeng means. Yuan Jia......"
Sun Rong listened with bated breath, he had been waiting for the Seventeenth Master for more than ten years, and knew that he was thinking rationally.
"Looking at Yuan Tingwei's meaning, it seems that he prefers Empress Wu here, I don't know what Shao Cong means, Shao Cong is now inseparable from Chen Yanfeng......" Pei Qing twisted his eyebrows and looked out the window, for a long time, sighed softly, "There are too many variables in between, and the capital should not stay for a long time." β
"That's true." Sun Rong hurriedly answered.
"Tell me to go down, Miss Li, and report twice a day. Tell Jin Dou to come in and wait for a change of clothes and go to the Shen Mansion. Pei Qing came out of his contemplation, and walked out while commanding, but before he reached the door, there was a rush of footsteps outside the door, and Yusu reported through the curtain: "Seventeenth Master, Master Chen is here, saying that there is something urgent and I want to see you immediately." β
"Please come in." Pei Qing hurriedly ordered, his feet did not stop, and he lifted the curtain and came out without taking a few steps, when he saw Chen Yanfeng striding into the Hanging Flower Gate.
Pei Qing turned sideways to let Chen Yanfeng in, Chen Yanfeng entered the house, and he didn't go inside, he sat on the armchair closest to the door, looked at Pei Qing and said straightforwardly: "I'm here to beg you." β
"Please?" Pei Qing smiled and sat down opposite Chen Yanfeng, "Say, what's the matter?" β
"I have to live in the capital for a while, now this identity is not good, I am inconvenient, I am looking for you to borrow an identity, your Pei family has been on Huainan Road for a hundred years, almost no one comes to the capital, it is most appropriate to borrow an identity from you." Chen Yanfeng's words were straightforward, and Pei Qingxian frowned a little embarrassed, "What identity do you want to borrow?" Pei family staff? Charge? β
"No, the staff is not good, aren't there many children of your Pei family like you? Find any one. When Chen Yanfeng heard that he was asked to be a staff manager, he refused.
"Then it can only be nineteen langs." Pei Qing replied immediately.
"Nineteen? You can do seventeen, this can't be done! It's best to find someone who is older than you, a generation or two older than you. "Chen Yanfeng is very picky when he asks for others.
"Older than me, even the eighteenth brother has been married, and the Pei family's in-laws are all big families, so it's hard to guarantee that they won't meet ......"
"It's not going to work, your uncles or something?" Chen Yanfeng understood as soon as he heard it, if he really wanted to meet his in-laws, the possibility of goofs was too great.
"My youngest uncle and son can walk, and now in the previous generation, unless the five suits are exact, otherwise, the youngest cousin will have passed his fortieth birthday this year." Pei Qing seemed to be smiling.
Chen Yanfeng was bored for a while, and reluctantly responded: "Nineteen is nineteen, even if I arrive today, you ask people to clean up a yard for me and make a show, what is the name of your nineteen?" β
"Single name Hai, no word, is the nephew of the sixth uncle, twenty this year, and is discussing marriage." Pei Qing introduced with a smile, Chen Yanfeng nodded to indicate that he had written it down, and was about to leave, Pei Qing followed and stood up and stopped him, "I was about to visit my uncle, since you arrived today, why don't you follow me to see my uncle?" β
Chen Yanfeng lifted one foot in the air, and it took a while before he snapped down, and sighed, "Go ahead, let's go, compared with the big trouble of showing people with their true faces, this is a small trouble, a small matter, let's go." β
As soon as the two of them left the courtyard gate, they saw a few small servants carrying a quaint lotus jar over, and the tender yellow bowl lotus in the jar was waiting to be released.
Pei Qing paused, pointed to the lotus jar and instructed Yusu: "Send this jar of lotus flowers to Miss Li, and then buy a few packs of seasonal food such as Zezhou caramel and dripping crisp, and send them over together." β
Yusu agreed.
Chen Yanfeng leaned at Pei Qing and walked more than a dozen steps before retracting his gaze and snorting, "Don't blame me for not warning you, you are playing with fire." β
Pei Qing glanced at Chen Yanfeng and didn't answer.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Zhou Rui returned to his residence in the back alley of Huainan Wangfu, put away his shoes, came out to the palace and asked the prince and the fourth master to go to Taixue, and they couldn't come back until the evening, stood in the second gate and thought for a while, went out of Huainan Wangfu, and walked in the direction of Chen's mansion.
The gate of Chen's Mansion has long been calm, Zhou Rui sat down in a teahouse, and looked for an opportunity to inquire about the lively things at the gate of Chen's Mansion just now, these idlers didn't dare to approach the door of Chen's house, and they couldn't inquire about anything, but knowing that Li Yan and Li Sanye had entered Chen's Mansion, this was enough.
Zhou Rui sat in the teahouse, first watched Li Sanye and Mrs. Chen come out together, went their separate ways, and waited for a while, seeing the two cars coming out of Chen's mansion, Zhou Rui thought that it should be Li Yan and Yushu, embellished behind the car, watched the car enter Li's mansion from a distance, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and walked half a street, stood on the side of the road for a while, walked aimlessly.
Walking from one street to another, after Perfume Alley, the shops on both sides of the street are full of all kinds of bird cages, and all kinds of birds jump up and down, and cry with joy.
Zhou Rui stopped in front of a shop with the best birds, looked up at the birds chirping happily, whistled at the birds, the birds screamed louder, Zhou Rui laughed, and was about to walk forward, when he heard a familiar voice coming from the shop: "...... This tortoiseshell elephant is worth a lot of money, and your new armor is not worth anything at all, at most ten big dollars......"
It was Yu Shu's voice. Zhou Rui raised his feet and entered the shop.
A guy was smiling with him, and politely pushed Yu Shu out, "...... This man, why don't you go to another house? The small shop is a new one, just save it for a few years, and then talk about it......"
"Lao Yu?" Zhou Rui seemed to have just come in from the sun outside and didn't see clearly, he called tentatively, Yu Shu hurriedly took off his buddy and dusted off a few clothes, "It's Master Zhou, what a coincidence." β
