When they arrived at the gate of Jinan, Li Yuyi hid his whereabouts, Chen Yuan didn't say anything, and the two got along for three days, basically didn't speak. Chen Yuan wanted to talk, but he didn't know what topic to talk about, thinking about the people.

Li Yuyi didn't want to talk to him, because every time he was by his side, he would unconsciously think of something. The fall of Annan, the tragic death of his father and brother.

Other than these, it is the taste of inexplicability. That time, when he was captured and threatened by him to find someone to force him, he asked him if he would be one of them. That time on the verge of life and death, I didn't feel anything, but now, I always feel a little inexplicably embarrassed.

Now his hatred for Chen Yuan has faded a lot, but he feels a little twisted. Chen Yuan's mind was not here at this time, and he did not observe her changes.

Having said that, when it comes to drinking and feasting, Chen Yuan feels that it is inappropriate, these days they are sleeping in the open, seeing the miserable situation of the people, he can't eat the feast, he was stunned and said: "Lord Li, this matter is not appropriate, I came to Shandong to help the people, and now the crisis of the people has not been resolved, we will go to eat......"

Li Xiang said with a smile: "Lord Qincha, on the ground in Jinan, the disaster relief is in order, and now the victims have been properly resettled, and the official has also sent competent officials to supervise the state capitals, taking Jinan as an example." Lord Chen worked hard all the way, and the officials did not close their eyes or eat a good meal for more than ten days in order to relieve the disaster. They all hoped that Lord Qincha would come and give guidance, but if the Lord refused, they would have to go hungry to provide relief. ”

Chen Yuan looked at them, and several of them looked haggard, as if they were very hungry. The emperor is not a hungry soldier, and the more Li Xiang looks at it, the more he looks like a ghost, it is better to follow him first and see what kind of medicine he sells: "It's okay, then I will disturb you." ”

Qiu Fuzi and the other officials glanced at each other, and quietly showed secret joy, it seemed that Qin Cha had been fooled, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Chincha-sama, please!"

Master Li led Chen Yuan to the Moon Viewing Tower, and talked about some decent words, and Master Qiu and some officials complimented Chen Yuan from time to time, saying that Lord Chen worked hard and devoted himself to the people, and they were deeply ashamed and must work harder to benefit the people.

After a while, Chen Yuan was also a little useful, nodded and said: "You are hard, you are diligent in political affairs, dedicated to the public, and the people under your rule live and work in peace and contentment, which is an example for officials, let Chen admire, and when I return to the court, I will definitely report to Your Majesty truthfully." ”

"Ha, then thank you to Lord Qincha." Some people were smiling, but some officials were a little embarrassed and secretly touched cold sweats.

Lord Li snorted and interjected: "It's getting late today, Lord Qincha is tired, and it is not appropriate to ask about official affairs anymore, and you should not use official affairs to embarrass Lord Qincha, let's let Lord Qincha relax and relax tonight." Early in the morning, the official will report the situation in Shandong to Lord Qincha, and if you want to go to the countryside to take a look in other state capitals, this official will also accompany Lord Qincha to go! But, listen, you must keep your duty, and if you find a people starving to death, the official will ask you. ”

"Don't worry, my lord, we will keep in mind your teachings."

Under the prompting of Master Qiu, Master Li made careful arrangements. It's ready. If Chen Yuan is not at ease, he has to go to other places to see, he has also prepared in advance, and has drawn up a few places, Chen Yuan is not familiar with Shandong, which village and which town to go to, does he know the name of the place? It's not like you have to let it go.

However, he still wants to drag Chen Yuan in Jinan City for a long time, the disaster relief here is in order, presumably he can't see any tricks, Lord Liu, they are hyping up in the court, I heard that the use of imperial history has turned the sky upside down, Chen Yuan's actions in Gaoliu, and if he does nothing in Jinan, he will not be able to eat and walk around, Li Xiang secretly showed a smug smile.

As for the officials and gentry in Jinan City, he was not worried, although many officials and gentry were dissatisfied with his behavior of abandoning the disaster victims, but the officials installed by the prince had already been removed by him for a reason, and the surveillance was not seen at all. The rest, either in a boat with yourself. Either dissatisfied or dissatisfied, after all, those officials and gentry did not feel the pain of their skin, and they would not tear their faces and act against him as a political envoy for this.

When he arrived at Deyue Tower, all the officials surrounded him, accompanied him to drink a cup of tea, eat some snacks, and say some officialdom words intentionally or unintentionally, Chen Yuan wanted to be distracted and had no chance to investigate. After a while, the sky darkened, Li Xiang and Qiu Fuzi came over, Qiu Fuzi smiled and waved to Chen Yuan, bowed and said, "Lord Qincha, the banquet has been prepared, let the Lord wait!" ”

Chen Yuan stood up, Lord Li led Chen Yuan to a banquet hall, it is estimated that this is the largest living room in the Yamen of Jinan Mansion, there are more than 20 tables in it, and there is a huge vacant position in the middle.

The banquet was placed on both sides, and there was a large empty table in front of it, and the other tables were already full of people.

Chen Yuan arched his hand in return, and Li Xiang led him straight to the chief, and after he sat down, the guests of the rest of the seats sat down one after another.

Chen Yuan looked at the hall and pavilion, the red carpet with veils, carved beams and paintings, gorgeous caissons, several tables and chairs, bright and clean lacquer, it was really luxurious and luxurious, it was a rare place in this place, and this seat was at least a few thousand taels of silver, and he felt that these officials were very suspicious.

The people of Shandong are not happy, their meal is thousands of taels of silver, it is really hateful, he wants to shoot the case, but he is alone, and Li Xiang is a real second-grade political envoy, several levels higher than himself, they collude up and down, it is difficult to protect their lives, or endure it.

Lord Li got up first to give a speech, and said to Chen Yuan about his hard work, and the officials and gentry on the left and right immediately joined in, complimenting Chen Yuan indiscriminately. Chen Yuan got up and pressed his hands to stop everyone's compliments.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I came this time, I am on an errand by order of the emperor, just to come and see, you don't need to be restrained, under the leadership of Lord Li, the displaced people in Jinan Mansion have been well settled, I am deeply grateful, you don't need to be polite, it's not early, everyone is hungry, please."

He motioned for the food to be served, Lord Li waved his hand, and the maids in Tsing Yi rushed in, and the delicate and delicious dishes were served one by one, and the banquet began.

The local officials are very good at talking, and when they say something, they make people feel like a spring breeze, and the gentry of Jinan represent the local people, and they also get up from time to time to toast, Chen Yuan had to respond with a little head, and drank a small sip, and the atmosphere quickly became lively, and after a while, Chen Yuan felt that he was half dizzy.

Master Li clapped his hands, and the dancing girls rushed in.

In the center of the living room, the red carpet is paved, and the front and back rows of twelve dancers with flowers and moons and large sleeves and streamers are like fairies in the moon, dancing and dancing, with red skirts and soft dancing.

In the two compartments, the musicians shook their heads, the tooth board tapped, the sheng pipe played low, the silk and bamboo string pipes, and the elegant music played in unison, listening to people unconsciously intoxicated, as if they were in a fairyland.

Master Li twisted his beard, secretly glanced at Chen Yuan, and saw that he was holding the wine in his right hand, leaning over, as if he was a little fascinated by the song and dance, so he coughed lightly and said with a smile: "Lord Chen, how is it, how is my woman in Shandong better than Jiangnan?" Can you still get into the eyes of adults? ”

"Huh? Ah, good! ”

Chen Yuan came back to his senses and said with a smile: "It's all good, the Jiangnan woman is gentle, and the dancer in front of her is a little heroic and uninhibited in her gentleness, which has a unique flavor. ”

Seeing him staring at the woman in a daze, he was really lustful, Li Xiang was secretly happy when he heard it, and said to the dancer: "Lord Qincha likes you very much, why don't you call someone to come and toast Lord Qincha?" ”

"Ah, that's not necessary......" Chen Yuan hurriedly reacted, first, a little excited, and second, a little confused. He stared at the dancing girl just now, and he couldn't believe it, but he actually saw an acquaintance, a person he was thinking about.

Geng Cairuo, why is she here?

Chen Yuan had a lot of questions, but it was inconvenient to say, he took the cup and drank it all, wanting to cover it up. When the cup was put down, the dancers in the red dress lined up on both sides, and there was a woman in white in the middle, and the red embraced a little white, although the woman in white was not like the dancers in the red dress with dancing steps, and the grace and grace of her posture were even more beautiful, like standing out from the crowd.

Chen Yuanxin became nervous all of a sudden, if Geng Cai had always acted in an undisciplined manner, what did she want?

Geng Cairuo is dressed in a plain white robe, without makeup and no fat powder, without colorful silk, with a long figure, beautiful and vulgar, like a touch of new green in spring.

Everyone was stunned, when did such a moving girl come to Deyuelou, this boss is still hiding his secrets.

Master Li smiled and said: "Very good, Boss Chang is really insightful, girl, this is Lord Qincha, Lord Qincha has worked tirelessly, and has gone to Shandong to help the people on behalf of the Son of Heaven, worrying about hard work, please girl on behalf of the people of Jinan, respect Lord Qincha!" Li Xiang said secretly, Qin Cha has been staring at her just now, it is better to plan and let her come up to toast, Qin Cha is lustful, so the disaster relief matter, isn't it easy to be sloppy. How did he know that Chen Yuan saw his wife and couldn't make up his mind for a while.

Geng Cairuo listened, a pair of eyes towards Chen Yuan, those eyes were as clear as water, and the whole person was as elegant as a touch of fresh snow on the top of Kunlun Mountain, which was extremely glamorous. Without a trace of wind and dust, elegant and quiet, beautiful and compelling.

She glanced at Chen Yuan fixedly, then walked towards Chen Yuan, and walked to the front of the table, Li Xiang had already handed over a glass of wine with a smile, Geng Cairuo took the glass in his hand, and slowly stood up straight.

Chen Yuan was short of breath, and he didn't know whether to recognize each other.

Geng Cairuo's expression suddenly turned cold, a pair of bright eyes stared at Chen Yuan, and said coldly: "Outside the city of Jinan Mansion, there are your buried souls everywhere, the people are hungry, they are not clothed, and they are struggling on the edge of life and death, but you are looting the people, holding a feast, Lord Qincha, the souls of the people, are crying in your wine glass, Lord Qincha, this wine, are you drinking it very sweet?" ”

She flicked her wrist, and the glass of wine splashed on Chen Yuan's face!

The audience was shocked, and Chen Yuan was also stunned. Good guy, I haven't seen you for more than half a year, and my wife came to ask the teacher as soon as she came.
