Bao Fatzi happily accepted this task, and muttered: "Ah Yuan, I told you a long time ago, the practice of human affection is an article, you are a Qingshui Marquis, you are not greedy for money, you don't pay bribes, sometimes you don't even have meat when you eat, it's boring to be in front of you, it's better to have a Jiupin county order." Besides, Liu Dashan can cover the sky with one hand, you are just a Hou Ye who has no power, don't visit during the New Year, you see, you have encountered difficulties. ”

Chen Yuan smiled: "I don't like these entertainments, Hou Ye Qing Shui is Hou Ye Qingshui, I live with peace of mind, and the money is spent calmly, whether you will go or not." ”

"Go, of course." Bao Fatzi straightened his clothes, shook the hairband washed on his head, and took a pose before striding away.

This product really didn't brag, and after a trip, I made an appointment with Liu Dashan to meet in the "Drunken Red Mansion".

This "Drunken Red Mansion" is the most upscale and famous restaurant in Jiaodong, located in the west of the city, and the owner behind the scenes is naturally Liu Dashan.

Chen Yuan has also seen the world, the restaurants in Nanjing, the restaurants in the capital, he has not gone less, carved beams and paintings, magnificent, the artistic conception of "Drunken Red Mansion" is not much better than those luxury areas. Stepping in, I thought I had entered a garden, the corridor in the wide courtyard was nine songs, the birds were singing and the flowers were fragrant, and several small buildings in the courtyard were chic and exquisite, and from time to time there was a faint and elegant sound of the piano.

He and Bao joined the army downstairs, and a fat man came to greet him, Chen Yuan was surprised, he was actually a county commander under Jiaodong, and a county commander Cui Jiang ran errands for a squire, this squire, how capable.

Chen Yuan remained silent, said a few words of greeting, and followed him, passed a courtyard, turned a small bridge and flowing water along the path paved with white stones, passed through a stone forest, and saw a small building, the slender and tall bamboo covered the red small building, the green bamboo swayed, quiet and claustrophobic, which made people feel refreshed and happy. Chen Yuan's heart was shocked, compared to his Hou Ye's Mansion, it was nothing to do, and he had the urge to burst into foul language, luxury was really desirable to them.

At this time, Liu Dashan had arrived, with a gray beard and capable dress, strangely it was not luxurious, but it was just for people to see, and there was a kind of majesty that came with it.

"Ah Yuan, this is Liu Dashan." Bao Fatzi introduced.

"Lord Chen, oh no, Marquis Chen, don't come unharmed." Liu Dashan smiled and spoke.

Chen Yuan was very shocked when he saw Liu Dashanren's face, he never thought that this so-called Liu Dashanren was actually a former bachelor, Liu Guan.

Wasn't he disarmed by Zhu Di and returned to the field? Why is it that in just two years, in Shandong, the wind and the rain have to be rainy.

"Scholar Liu." Chen Yuan was slightly stunned for a while and bowed, secretly guarding against it, this fat man Bao was able to invite him, and he deliberately instructed his tenants not to accept the grain, it turned out to be the people of the King of Han, and now he deliberately targeted himself, everything seems to see, Liu Guan must have a conspiracy.

"No, Master Hou has won the award, and I am no longer a scholar. Now it's just a small cloth coat. ”

Cui Xianling said with a flattering smile: "The scholar has worked hard in the court for 30 years, and now when he goes to the locality, he is also helping the weak and the poor, and he is really a model for scholars in the world." ”

"No, no, I'm just doing my duty, the sages have long been cloudy, the high temple is worried about its people, and the far away rivers and lakes are worried about its king, I still don't do enough."

"Lord Liu, the firefighting sage, we are so admired that we can't reach it-" Cui Xianling was very fat, his nose collapsed, and his ass was very numb.

Chen Yuan almost vomited, but remained silent.

"Master Hou, I'll treat you with a cloth coat, you won't lose face." There were words in Liu Guan's words, and something flashed in his eyes.

"Where, where, I'll talk to Master Liu more today." Chen Yuan is "modest".

"Master Hou, please."

"Lord Liu is an elder, or Lord Liu, please."

"No, you are Hou Ye, I am white, or Hou Ye, please."

"The bachelor is admired by all the people, how dare the kid be abrupt, or the student, please."

They were humble and very "harmonious," as if they had never had a feast before.

Cui Xian ordered: "The corridor is not narrow, the status of the Hou Ye is noble, and the bachelor is admired by the world, it is better to parallel, how?" ”

Liu Guan smiled and looked at Chen Yuan.

Chen Yuan nodded.

Liu Guan smiled: "Then Liu will be offended." ”

Upstairs, the inside is also extremely spacious. Calligraphy and painting screens are very exquisite. After the guest and host sat down, before they could say a few words, a woman with a blue cloth skirt and fluttering clothes came with melon and fruit tea.

The clothes are also fluttering, the people are also fluttering, and the eyes are horizontal. Eyebrows are like distant mountains. The appearance of these women is not stunning, but it is rare that the facial features are so exquisite, with a smile and a smile, every line and every line is scattered and gentle, pretty and lovely, and the eyes of the fat man are straight.

If the garden you just saw is an unearthly landscape, isn't this line like the wind blowing the willow woman an elegant scenery?

Chen Yuan ignored the pig's head of Bao Fatzi, and kept sorting out his thoughts and observing what medicine was sold in Liu Guan's gourd.

Liu Guan glanced at Cui Xianling, and Cui Xianling immediately raised his glass and said: "Hou Ye first arrived in Jiaodong, and he will be the master in the future, our Jiaodong style, Jiaodong's fine wine, light and mellow, is no worse than Jiangnan's, Hou Ye, please, I won't get drunk today!" ”

Chen Yuan smiled and drank the wine, and then Liu Guan also invited to drink.

After drinking, Liu Guan clapped his hands three times, and the dancers rushed in and danced.

The sound of the flute is sometimes melodious, sometimes it turns abruptly, and the twelve girls take their right feet as the axis. Relax the long sleeves lightly, and the delicate body rotates with it, turning faster and faster. Suddenly flew up from the ground, suddenly gathered in a circle, the jade hand waved, twelve blue ribbons fluttered out, the hall seemed to be flooded with blue waves, the territory of the girl volleyed to the ribbon, slender feet, fluttering, like a Lingbo fairy.

Chen Yuan, who looked directly, was a little dazzled.

Liu Guan smiled meaningfully: "Master Hou, what does the woman think?" ”

"Unique, good, good." Chen Yuan drank the wine, but he only felt that the woman's appearance was upper, and compared to his wife, it was not a few points worse, and he couldn't think of words to describe it.

"How about giving it to Master Hou?"

Chen Yuan was stunned, and then smiled: "My lord, I heard a story before, saying that oranges in the south are big and sweet, but when they are transplanted to the north, they become citrus, bitter and astringent. The girl is free in the restaurant, and in my house, there are many rules, and she won't be loved by others. He was tactfully refused.

Liu Guan laughed, and an inexplicable look flashed in his heart, it seems that the use of color has failed against this "lustful" Hou Ye. smiled: "Since this is the case, then Liu is offended, Hou Ye has come to my Jiaodong, and he is the master of our Jiaodong, and if there is any dispatch in the future, Liu will definitely serve." ”

Chen Yuan coughed twice, and said with an embarrassed expression: "Don't hide it, I did encounter some difficulties in the next place, I don't know if Lord Liu can help?" ”

"Oh? Hou Ye said it. ”

"Lord Liu also knows that when I first arrived in Jiaodong, I didn't know the way, and my tenants didn't care about receiving seeds to cultivate, so I was afraid that I would drink the northwest wind this year."

"Is that so?" Liu Guan was "surprised".

You old fox, you pretend. Chen Yuan didn't expose him, but just asked: "Your Excellency responds to every call in Shandong, and you also ask your adult to help." ”

"I don't have a friend in Shandong. Don't worry, Master Hou, your business is on me. He turned back to Cui Xianling and said sternly, "Cui Jiang, I heard from Hou Ye, someone actually secretly obstructed Hou Ye's tenants from collecting seeds and cultivating, but is there such a thing?" ”

Cui Xianling shook his fat head: "My lord, the lower officials don't know." ”

"Check, give me a good check, if you dare to disobey the yang, you will never be spared."

"Yes, yes, the lower officials must check it carefully."

Chen Yuan was "grateful" to Liu Guan again, "This meal was eaten until it was almost dark, and Chen Yuan said goodbye and left." Bao Fatzi was already unconscious and was carried back.

At this time, it was drizzling outside, and the spring rain rustled, drenching the branches and leaves of the flowers and plants under the corridor with oily light. Listening to the sound of the rain is like seeing everything growing and flourishing.

Chen Yuan also drank a lot, and when he got home, he felt top-heavy, and he just wanted to lie down in bed early and drink a cup of tea to rest.

At that moment, a pleasant laugh came. Under the side front porch, a narrow lintel of the same color as the wall and high to the top suddenly opened, and a girl in green holding an oil-paper umbrella flashed out of the corner door. She was followed by a woman in a pale red shirt, who jumped out laughing and screaming.

The high whitewashed walls, the pale black bluestone pavement, and the morning glories that climb up from the cracks of the porch are classical and elegant. And the two women, holding a yellow oil-paper umbrella in one hand and a skirt in the other, came with a smile.

The water droplets rolled down with the umbrella, and at that moment, Chen Yuan had an illusion, as if they were two jade people wearing clothes made of water and stepping on the clear waves.

When did two more beauties come to my house?

Stunned, a woman smiled quietly and said, "The master is back." ”

The other woman was a little angry and funny: "Master, what are you looking at, you don't recognize us?" ”

Chen Yuan rubbed his eyes, it turned out to be Chunhua and Qiuyue, these two girls, who actually came from the north. There were no phone calls these years, and even he didn't expect them to come.

Marquis Chen ate and said, "Aren't you serving the old lady in the capital?" "My family is about to become a daughter country, except for the manservant and Bao Fatzi, there are no men.

Chunhua was disgusted: "Who is like the old man, you have a rough line, the old lady has her own maid to take care of." You are in Jiaodong, and you are sorting out the books, and you are digging the fields and plowing the soil, how can there be no one to take care of you, the second lady practices martial arts, and the third lady helps you write books and moisten the pen, who will take care of you. The third lady had already written to us and asked us to come. When we received the letter, we rushed to it. ”

Indeed, there are not many maids in the Hou Mansion, and they are a little careless in their work, and they really don't have the autumn moon and spring flowers. Geng Cairuo is very arrogant, Yi Xuan is a beautiful girl, and the people who take care of her are a little worse.

Of course, he felt that he did not need to be taken care of.

"It's raining, what is the young master still stunned, come into the house, it's really, such a big person, he still won't take care of himself." Chunhua changed his coat for him while asking Qiuyue to wash his feet.

————

In the queen's palace, Tong Manzhi looked at the white clothes in front of her in a daze. The queen had a change of clothes prepared for her, and the maid boiled hot water and poured it into a wooden barrel.

The house is big and quaint. The curtain hangs from the waterfall at the top of the house, and even the curtain has a faint fragrance. The minutes were blown and a rustling sound sounded.

This time to hell, to heaven, she hasn't reacted yet.

Ruzhu took her hand and walked to the barrel: "The queen said, you will be called Ruyu in the future, and everything before will no longer have anything to do with you." ”

Ruyu, I will be called Ruyu in the future, she said lightly, what is the name of a person like her, what does it matter. "Yes, Ruyu obeys."

"Wash it, wash it away."

Tong Manzhi, no, like jade, wooden, stripped off his clothes.

Water splashed in the bucket.

Her past, can it be washed away, she closed her eyes.

In troubled times, there are no beautiful women.
