Chen Dingmao and the four of them watched Li Chenan's back disappear behind the moon door.

They looked at each other at each other, and there was unbelievable doubt in their eyes—

The regent is going to feast them at Zhiweixuan?!

What is their identity?

Even if it is Chen Dingmao, he is just the head of the Chen family in Yingzhou.

Although the Yingzhou Chen family is somewhat famous in Ningguo, it is the home of merchants after all.

Although in history, the Chen family also produced many children to become officials in the court, which made the Chen family more prominent, but such prominence was only in Yingzhou.

And the regent is the king of Ningguo!

Or the future emperor of Ningguo!

You can drink at the same table with the emperor...... Even if the ancestor was summoned by Emperor Jinghua for donation a hundred years ago, he never enjoyed such treatment!

Chen Dingmao's old face was still red.

His hands trembled slightly.

Because the regent held his hand just now, he could even feel the warmth coming from the regent's palm.

He decided not to wash his hands for a month!

Because these are a pair of hands that have been tainted with dragon energy!

"White, white brother,"

Chen Dingmao is very old, and this sudden surprise made him a little relieved.

He pursed his lips, and there was a bright light of expectation in his old eyes, and he added:

"Is this true?"

Bai Zhiwei swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and looked at the moon door again, "Old Chen, this, this seems to be true!" ”

"So what are we waiting for here? Hurry up and go to your Zhiweixuan ......! ”

"Okay, okay, I don't accept customers today, but I have to get a table of dishes that the regent is satisfied with!"

Among the four, Liu Rui is the youngest, but in his twenties.

As the son of the Liu family in Shuzhou, he is not the eldest son of the Liu family, but a concubine.

Shuzhou Liu's main business is silk and Shu embroidery, and Liu Rui can't touch such a business.

This trip to Yujing City, Kyoto, he was to go to Yujing City to find Xiang Qingyun of his distant cousin Xiang Qingyun of Yuzhou Xiang.

Last year, Xiang Qingyun went to Kyoto to participate in the autumn festival, and wrote back to report the good news, saying that the gold list was named a high school jinshi.

He was not released as an official, so Wen Shoufu left him in Kyoto, and later wrote back that he was on duty in the cabinet......

Cabinet!

That's the highest place to discuss politics in Ningguo!

Since this cousin can be on duty in the cabinet, the official must be not small!

My father went to Yuzhou with a generous gift, and begged the old lady of the Xiang family to send a letter to Xiang Qingyun, wanting to ask for a way out for himself.

Two months ago, Xiang returned the message to his home and asked him to go to Kyoto to find Xiang Qingyun.

But he didn't say what could be done.

Liu Rui just left home, and he never expected to meet the regent in Linshui City!

I didn't expect that I would be invited by the regent to go to the banquet at Zhiweixuan......

This frightened him.

He was afraid that his words and deeds would be inappropriate and disgusting to the regent, and that he would bring disaster to himself, and if he brought disaster to his family again, his mother's life would be even more difficult.

He really wanted not to go to Zhiweixuan, but his feet involuntarily followed Chen Dingmao and them out of the Yuelai Inn.

He knew it was a great opportunity!

If you can leave a shadow in the eyes of the regent...... No, even if the regent didn't even look at him, the good news of being invited by the regent to sit with the regent today will soon spread!

Then I will be stained with the light of the regent, such a situation is not as simple as a good story!

I'm afraid that this little-known little person will also become famous all over the world because of this.

With this reputation, if you go to Kyoto and ask Qingyun to help you build a bridge, maybe you can get a job in Kyoto.

It's not that I'm asking for an official.

If you can be a retinue or a bookkeeper for a nobleman, that's fine.

He Liu Rui doesn't have much other skills, but he still has a bit of brains in business.

Thinking about it like this, his heart became more and more urgent.

Looking up at the sky, it was just a ...... There was still an hour before noon.

It seems like time is passing a little slowly.

……

……

The backyard of the Joy Inn.

The cigarette camel hunched his back and held the cigarette gun in his hand, and he habitually wanted to take a pinch of tobacco leaves from the tobacco pouch, but after thinking about it, he put his hand down again.

Li Chenan sat in the gazebo in the backyard, looked at the smoke camel and smiled slightly:

"How many years have you smoked?"

"Back to the young master, the villain has been smoking for thirty years."

"Cough no?"

“…… It's just that I cough more in the morning, and I don't cough anymore after that while. ”

"Oh, please be seated!"

"Young Master Xie!"

The smoke camel sat opposite Li Chen'an.

The furrows on his face were filled with joy.

I have long heard that the young master is amiable, and it was quite dangerous outside the West Gate yesterday, but I haven't looked at the young master carefully, but now I see it, the young master's actions completely subverted what the smoke camel originally thought in his heart-

He didn't expect the young master to be in such a situation!

Although those merchants have a wealthy family, it is difficult to compare with the wealth of returning to the garden in any case.

What's more, a merchant is a merchant, and the young master is the future emperor!

The young master did not have the slightest smell of a rich child.

There is no such ...... as an emperor That domineering atmosphere!

Is this good or bad?

The smoke camel doesn't know.

But as a person in the rivers and lakes, and now he has been in charge of the Yuelai Inn in this waterfront city for many years, he has seen all kinds of people, and after all, he still thinks that the young master's affinity is very good.

At least there is no sense of oppression when he sits across from him.

It's also extremely comfortable.

Especially the care from the young master:

"You can smoke if you want."

"But it's better to smoke a little less every day."

"The shopkeepers of Yuelai Inn are all old people who have returned to the garden, and they are also my relatives of Li Chen'an."

Li Chenan boiled tea and looked at the smoke camel again:

"I hope you can live longer, and one day, all the shopkeepers of the Joy Inn can gather in Kyoto."

"You have made an outstanding contribution to the return to the kindergarten, and I hope that you will be able to retire in Kyoto. Your pension money will be spent by returning to the garden, and I promise that you will enjoy the happiest old age! ”

"What about me...... I can go to your house and sit down when I get out of the court. ”

"I hope that I am not a regent in your hearts, nor am I the emperor of Ningguo, I am your young master."

"We sat together, basking in the warm sun, drinking tea and talking about the past......"

At this moment, Li Chen'an seems to be no longer the energetic young man in the eyes of Amu and others!

He looked old-fashioned.

Those words fell to the ground with a bit of heaviness like fallen leaves in this autumn day.

But these words were heard in the ears of the smoke camel, but they just plucked the string in his heart.

Many of the shopkeepers of Yuelai Inn are people from the rivers and lakes.

Many have never married in this life!

Many of them are now old, but they don't have a home.

Under such an autumn sun, I will think about some future events -

When you are old, who will serve?

If they are dead, who will bury them?

He never expected that the young master would have arranged all these things!

And the young master's arrangement was so thorough, which made Yan Huozi completely dispel his worries, and also made him die for Li Chen'an!

"It's not important to see you today."

Li Chenan poured tea and handed a cup to the smoke camel.

And asked without a trace:

"My father is in Yueguo, and I haven't met him yet, so I'm actually quite curious, but it's not good to ask my mother too much."

"Can you tell me what kind of man my father was?"

[Morning, fog, the end of the year and the beginning of the year.] I wish all book lovers good health and all the best in the new year! 】
