Chapter 202: An Unexpected Arrival
The wedding day is getting closer and closer, and Chen Yuan doesn't feel unusual, they are all people who have been married once. Although Zhu Di gave him a marriage, he always felt a little wrong, the paper couldn't hold the fire, and with his understanding of Zhu Zhanji in the past two years, he was not such a good person to give up.
Geng Cairuo's physical fitness is good, and she will be cured in two days, but when Chen Yuan goes to see it again, he always feels that she is preoccupied and absent-minded.
Chen Yuan had no choice but to ask Table Yue Meiduo to accompany her.
On this day, as soon as he came out, he ran into Yuan Bin.
"Brother Chen, long time no see." Yuan Bin said with a smile.
Speaking of which, Yuan Bin went to Shandong to save himself, Chen Yuan couldn't forget these friendships no matter what, and said with a smile: "It's better to meet by chance than to meet, let's go find a place and have a good drink." ”
Yuan Bin naturally agreed, and the two of them traveled about half a mile, and soon arrived, and came to a medium-sized restaurant, called Luoque Lou.
The boss is very thoughtful. However, the inside is elegant, good value for money, the business of the restaurant seems to be good, and the owner is very good at operating.
This is also Chen Yuan's rare treat to a relatively high-end restaurant. He didn't think it was necessary to have the best restaurant, and there were many high-ranking officials and nobles in it, and the atmosphere was extravagant, which he didn't like.
On the contrary, mid-range restaurants pay attention to value for money, and the people who come and go are either ordinary rich and noble, or low-key and introverted people. There is a lot less arrogance on the face, think about it, go to a place to eat, and meet high-ranking officials and nobles, these people are basically arrogant, and some gentlemen will have nothing to do after drinking, which is the most uncomfortable.
"Yo! It's Lord Chen who is here. "The well-informed Xiao Er recognized Chen Yuan at a glance, although Li Weizheng had no actual official position, and he was just a person the size of a sesame mung bean in Nanjing, but the emperor gave him a gold medal, the court debated the first assistant of the scholars, and Annan was invincible, and they all talked about it in Nanjing.
His sweet potatoes began to be widely planted, the harvest of the people increased, and the status of merchants improved. The deeds of the "Prime Minister of Cloth" are praised everywhere.
The storyteller even made up a story about his deeds, what Chen Yuanben cultivated in Zhongnan Mountain, and saw that the people were in distress, so he drove the clouds and fog for 100,000 miles, and transported sweet potatoes to the world's immortal mountain, so that the people could have enough to eat.
In the end, Chen Yuan was unyielding and fought against scholars, and finally defeated evil, and the status of merchants in the world improved, the treasury income increased, and commerce was active. Of course, this matter must have been spread to Yang Shiqi's ears by the good deeds, and he was so angry that he couldn't eat for three days. However, this story has spread, and in the story it is a great traitor, who harms the loyal and good.
The prime minister could support the boat in his belly, Yang Shiqi was very depressed, and his face was black all day, but he did not have a seizure. was upset by someone for him, and he smiled bitterly: "That's it, let them say go, I can still eat one less meal, this matter, the more it is described, the darker it gets, if I really do something to Chen Yuan." It's not true, I'm a big traitor, and I guess my door is full of eggs and rotten vegetables. "Yang Shiqi has been an official all his life, not to mention absolute caution, but he also cherishes his reputation very much, but he didn't expect to become a traitor in the end, and he couldn't laugh or cry. There is also no gas to spread, only to drink stuffy wine.
In the story, Chen Yuan also arrived in Annan, holding Fang Tian's halberd, straddled the jujube red horse with his feet, and killed the enemy without leaving a piece of armor. The rebel Li Li, with an ugly appearance, with two-foot-long fangs, eats human flesh, drinks human blood, and is a heinous big devil, Chen Yuan fought with the big devil for ten days and ten nights.
"Wow, for ten days, Lord Chen won't eat?"
"Don't interrupt me, Lord Chen has been sleepless in order to eliminate the demon, and there are eighty wounds on his body......"
"Uh, Master Chen, are you alright?"
"Don't interrupt me." The little fat man glared at him very dissatisfied, his eyes narrowed into a line, there was no difference between staring and not staring. Strangely, his arms were full, as if they were stuffed with a lot of gold and silver tickets. His sleeves are very fat, they are agarwood-colored satin, and he wears a six-in-one hat, which is not harmonious, and the scholar is not like a scholar, and the merchant is not like a merchant. He muttered: "If something happens to him, can he still make traitors feel related to the court now?" ”
The audience breathed a sigh of relief: "It's good if the adult doesn't have it, he is the savior of our people." ”
The fat man stretched his neck: "Speaking of which, Brother Chen, Eh, Lord Chen vomited eight taels of blood and five catties of tears, fighting Li Li, the big devil, which made the world lose color and the world was turbid!" The wind and sand are everywhere, and the snow is dancing all over the sky. It's really earth-shattering, crying ghosts and gods! The soldiers were so shocked by the scene that they could barely open their eyes, but their blood was boiling, and they all knelt on the ground, praying for God's blessing and the victory of good over evil—"
In the distance, a delicate woman lowered her head slightly, looking at the little fat man, her eyes were murderous, and a man beside her walked over, not yin or yang: "His name is Bao Joins the Army, and he is Chen Yuan's good brother before." ”
The woman held back the sadness in her heart, took a deep breath, and said coldly, "Let's go." ”
Bao joined the army, who told the story, picked up the tea jar on the table and muttered a few sips with hunger, wiped the corners of his mouth with unfinished meaning, and suddenly changed his words: "Come on, come on, the rich have a money field, and some people have a personal field, the younger brother in order to collect this story, went deep into the barren land of Annan, couldn't eat for three days, and was so hungry that his chest was close to his back, which was really earth-shattering, crying ghosts and gods, tsk, now I am still afraid when I think about it-" He said and asked his entourage to take a plate in the crowd, and after a while, there was a lot of copper on the plate.
Even though he had a large amount of money in his arms, his eyes were full of gold when he saw copper.
Of course, these are in another corner of Nanjing. Chen Yuan has always been low-key, and he doesn't know his influence, Xiao Er has already greeted him with a smile on his face: "My lord, there is a private room upstairs, please!" ”
"Oh, you recognize me?"
Xiao Er's face was full of reverence: "Adults are benefactors among the people and businessmen, in the whole of Nanjing, how can there be people who don't know adults, adults come to the small shop, let the small shop shine, and the adults are happy and affectionate." ”
Chen Yuan was hesitating, and the shopkeeper's eyes also saw him and greeted him.
The shopkeeper enthusiastically led the two to the second floor, found them a good seat by the window, and said with a smile: "I don't know what the adults want to eat." ”
"Serve me three dishes, meat and vegetarian pairing, you decide for yourself, a pot of good wine."
"It's the first time an adult comes to the shop, three dishes are enough, blessed, bring up our best dishes, eighteen plates, it's our honor to come to our store."
"It's-"
The shopkeeper thought that he was afraid that he would not be able to pay the bill, and said with a smile: "Adults can eat with confidence, and the store will invite you." ”
Chen Yuan insisted: "There are not so many, four is enough, we are two of us, don't be extravagant and wasteful." ”
The shopkeeper was slightly stunned, and he was even more respectful, and asked Youfu to prepare the best dishes.
Youfu ran into the kitchen to serve the dishes, and the shopkeeper also retreated.
"I'm so famous in Nanjing?" Chen Yuan finally couldn't help but ask.
"What, isn't it?" Yuan Bin looked at him incredulously, "Don't you know, now Nanjing storytellers, everywhere is telling your story, some around the bookstall listened to it for three days and three nights, your story is much more popular than the story of Liu Shengchuan and Miss Scholar." You don't know, the women who have not left the cabinet in Nanjing are asking matchmakers to come to your house to propose marriage, you don't know——"
I don't know, Dong Mingyan will also play with his mind, Chen Yuan thought about it for a while and knew what was going on. Turned into a wry smile.
"Don't you know, whether it's a boudoir woman or a widow, they all hide your portrait by their side, and even some women are furious because of other people's private hiding, crying and shouting, and making trouble in the government-"
Damn, Chen Yuan's jaw is about to fall, and I'm not Tang Seng meat, nor am I a good-looking Pan An-
He didn't want to be famous, he pointed to the teacup and said with a dry smile: "I really don't know, this teacup is quite cute, round and full, let's buy two and bring them back." After saying that, he felt that something was wrong, and drank the tea in a panic, but he drank too quickly, and was choked at once, and bent over and coughed violently.
"People are more angry than people." Yuan Bin smiled, with envy and resentment on his face.
After a while, the wine and food were served, and the two chatted casually, drinking and eating food.
In ancient times, the house was wooden, and even though the second floor was a private room, the second floor was a little less crowded than the first floor, but there were more than a dozen tables, and the people were full of voices and very lively.
Chen Yuan put down his chopsticks, picked up his wine glass again, and looked at the situation while drinking, his eyes casually glancing out of the window.
But he suddenly saw the figure of a person, this person he remembered deeply, it was the person who took the lead in attacking him under the command of Wang Xian.
Chen Yuan was stunned for a moment, how could they be here, and seeing that he also looked at him deliberately, he gave him a fierce look, and his expression was extremely strange.
