Chapter 100: Chen Ding seeks a plan first
Chen Dingxian served as the Governor of the Left Army, and the experience of the Department of the Left Army Governor's Mansion was the seventh product, and the normal establishment of the experience of the Department experienced one person and three people. During the Hongshi Dynasty, officials liked to be comfortable, and they all went to the capital to squeeze, so they expanded the experience of one person, the deputy experience of one person, and six people, and the duty was to take charge of the affairs of the transfer of literature, which was an idle errand, so there was a lot of leisure.
On this day, he rushed home, and a familiar face came from the opposite side, and when the two sides approached, Chen Dingxian was polite, "Where is Miss Pu going?"
The person who came was Pu Jialan, followed by Kyaukyu." What a coincidence! Master Chen!".
Chen Ding was calm, but nodded, "Miss Pu hasn't answered me yet?".
"I just came back from the Xidingmen military camp, the training inside is vigorous, then Master Chen is so leisurely, you have to study hard!", Pu Jialan deliberately teased him, and walked forward without stopping and raising his legs.
Chen Ding chased after her first and blocked her, "Don't worry! I wonder how Miss Pu wants me to learn?".
It seems that it is really unpopular, and it can be seen from Pu Jialan's disdainful eyes." Civilian officials approve documents to decide cases, military attaches train soldiers to fight, what do you say you should learn?".
"I'm a civilian in the martial arts, so I don't have to learn.", Chen Dingxian was actually very resentful in his heart, how to practice without soldiers in his hands. Afraid of abandoning martial arts, he still insists on practicing at home.
Pu Jialan looked at him and shook her head, "Adou, who can't help him, actually said such a shameful thing, it's really the wrong person!".
Chen Ding heard the meaning of her words first, and his expectations for himself were quite high, but he was too disappointed in his current self. I can't help but feel something in my heart, I can't stand up for it in front of a woman." I'm useless, give me a hundred people to try, training is not worse than others.", when he speaks, he holds his head high and does not allow others to underestimate him.
"Who wouldn't say big things? Let's pull it down! I heard that Lord Chen is playing Xia Shunqiu's idea?", sarcastically, immediately changed the topic, Pu Jialan is really a clever ghost.
"Who said that? Don't believe the rumors, admiration is true.", Chen Dingxian was very calm.
After hearing this, Pu Jialan lowered her head and smiled at the corner of her mouth, tilting her head to the side, "Someone knows how to borrow, girlfriend, maid, it's not that you look down on Lord Chen, you're far behind!".
Chen Dingxian's lungs were about to explode when he heard it, and he knew who he was talking about. Lan Tingmei herself couldn't speak, why didn't she bribe the maids? It's all my fault that I won't win people's hearts, but it's good that it's not too late to know now." Everyone's method is different, as long as it is used, why bother!".
"That's too! As long as you don't officially get married, there is room for maneuver, and I wish Lord Chen good luck!".
"Lend you good words! I will seize the opportunity", Chen Dingxian couldn't help but be a little angry when he spoke.
I never thought that Pu Jialan would throw out a sentence, "There is a Zhiduoxing in Xidingmen, who stays in the capital by himself, or your brother, if you want to succeed, you might as well ask for advice!".
While Chen Dingxian was wandering, he passed by, but when Chen Dingxian turned back, he had already left.
Pu Jialan did come from the direction of Xidingmen, but she stayed at the fence east of the Xidingmen barracks for a while, and saw the officers and soldiers training hard in the playground. I have long heard the inside story, the four nobles do not want to see Tang Tong, it is he who seeks the official position of the captain of Xidingmen, and in less than a month after taking office, he changed the appearance of the Xidingmen military camp, and the military camp with little training suddenly has vitality.
Pu Jialan is also a lady from an official family, and her father is a general judge of Tai'an Prefecture, and she is an honest official. Accusing Lu Qinghua, the prefect of Tai'an, of corrupting the law, as soon as the paper arrived in the hands of Lin Changyao, the envoy of Jiangsu, it was pressed down, all of them were Cao Shu's cronies, and they were immediately transferred to Lu Qinghua, one of the ten tigers of the Cao family, Lu Qinghua, one of the ten tigers of the Cao family, was angry and sent someone to kill Pu's father. Jia Lan's brother soon drowned in the river at night. The mother also went a year after the death of her father, and was overly sad. Only Jia Lan was left, but fortunately, the housekeeper and his wife took her to the capital Xiongfu, Mrs. Xiong was Pu's mother's best friend, and she recognized her as a righteous daughter and stayed by her side, when she was only twelve years old.
For eight years, I have been thinking about avenging my father and brother all the time, and my stepfather Xiong Daoyun is ambiguous and has no practical action. Pu Jialan was disappointed and no longer expected anything from him. The high-ranking and powerful officials around him did not give a helping hand, so they could only marry a good husband, hoping to get his help. Looking at the capital, the first choice is Xiao Wenhou Lan Tingshu, behind whom there are the four nobles of the capital, and he is the son of Yunyang. Plus a good reputation. Therefore, he wanted to please him as much as possible, how could he like Xia Xunqiu, what kind of relationship did Xia Zhan and Lu Qinghua have, how could he get revenge, and he couldn't find the person he liked for a while.
was confused, Tang Tong caught his eyeliner. She has to make a careful observation to see how he is capable and how his network is. I happened to meet Chen Dingxian today, and as soon as he had an idea, he provoked him with words, and he lured Tang Tong out. Look at how Tang Tong deals with the complex relationship in the capital, whether it is successful or not, as long as he can see what kind of strategy and show that kind of skill.
said that he would come when he had time, and the affairs in the barracks and at home were enough for Tang Tong to be busy, and he never made the trip to Zhongmu Tavern. A few days later, in the morning, Tang Tong was busy in his office, He Wanglai reported that the Zuojun Governor's Mansion experienced the seventh grade Chen Dingxian came to visit, Tang Tong sorted out the case file and desktop, then Chen Ding walked in first, Tang Tong said with a smile: "What spring breeze will blow Chen Dushi!"
Chen Ding pointed at Tang Tong first, "I can't come to see Duwei Tang, I didn't bother Lord Duwei, right?".
Tang Tong stepped forward and hugged Chen Dingxian, "If the military affairs are not urgent, let it be put back, how can Chen Shao be left out in the cold.", Chen Dingxian patted Tang Tong's back and hugged each other, "This is a brother!".
Tang informed Chen Dingxian that he had nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, and it was tasteless to sit in this room. So he said, "I'll take Chen Shao to visit?", and went to pull Chen Dingxian as he spoke.
Chen Dingxian did not evade, and said enviously: "It's still a brother's spirit, you are the biggest in the entire military camp, and you won't be angry by that!".
Tang informed him what he meant, "Find a chance to get a thousand presidents, and get over the addiction of being the master of the house!", after speaking, he and Chen Ding went out of the main hall first and went to the barracks to take a look.
The barracks said that it was not big or small, Chen Dingxian took a casual look, his heart was not here, and what surprised Chen Dingxian along the way was that the officers and soldiers of the barracks were respectful to Tang Tong, and they were originally a little joking, but when they saw Tang Tong far away, they stopped fighting, and solemnly shouted Lord Duwei. A few months of listening and training allowed Tang Tong to establish his prestige, which made Chen Dingxian very impressed, if he did, it would be impossible for him to do it. It took more than half an hour to turn around, and it was already lunch time when he returned to the city gate Weiyamen, Tang Tong remembered Chen Xiao, so he led Chen Ding out of the barracks first, and the two came to the Zhongmu Tavern in Ganhe Lane, Chongli Street.
Chen Dingxian saw that Tang Tong took all his efforts to bring himself to this remote alley, just in front of the Zhongmu Tavern, Chen Ding first asked, "Brother Tang! What's so good about this little shop?".
Tang Tong smiled weirdly, "I promise to make Chen Shao's mouth and eyes open!", the two of them entered the lobby and only one guy was there, Tang Tong beckoned, "Where is your boss?".
The guy pointed to it, "Clean up in the room.".
Tang Tong beckoned Chen Dingxian to go upstairs together, knowing that Chen Xiao's room was there, he opened the curtain and saw Chen Xiao's side, Chen Xiao was putting on makeup, but he didn't see Tang Tong, and Chen Xiao was also very charming when he looked at him from the side. Tang Tong hurriedly lowered the curtain, took a few steps back to block Chen Dingxian, and then shouted: "The boss is here!"
Chen Xiao's voice came from inside, "Please wait a minute!" I'll be here right away!", it didn't take long for Chen Xiao to open the curtain and come out, and when he saw that it was Tang Tong, he immediately smiled and said, "It turned out to be Brother Tang!" Please come and sit in a private room!".
Chen Dingxian's eyes froze suddenly, and Tang Tong pushed him heavily, "Why are you in a daze?" Beware of me taking your eyes out!", Chen Xiao lowered his head and smiled, turned around and led the two to the private room where they stayed last time.
After the two of them sat down, Chen Xiao asked, "What does Brother Tang eat?".
Tang Tong said casually: "Whatever you have, just four meat and one vegetarian!".
Chen Xiao smiled and said, "I'll go and prepare, you two sit for a while, and I'll call someone to serve tea.", and left as he spoke.
Chen Dingxian came to his senses at this time, "This woman has a unique femininity, which makes people's hearts ripple at a glance, which is exactly what my brother's taste is!", he said and squinted at Tang Tong.
Tang Tong glared at him fiercely, "I think it's you trying to get involved!" She's bigger than you and not for you.".
Chen Dingxian was not here, and said indifferently: "It's just a feast for your eyes, and I'm not interested in her!" Dude knows who my crush is.".
Tang Tong didn't expect Chen Dingxian to still be reluctant to Xia Xunqiu, and persuaded in a long voice: "People are not here with you, it's time to let go!".
"My heart has been put down, but two days ago I met a young woman, do you know Pu Jialan?".
Tang informed this person, there is a popular saying in the capital, to marry a wife, you must marry Xia Xunqiu, and marry Xiaodang to marry Pu Jialan. It is said that the two are not only beautiful but also have a strong family background, needless to say in the summer and autumn, Pu Jialan's stepfather Xiong Daoyun, who was once the personal companion of Emperor Jiaqing, and now controls the financial power of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Tang Tong replied casually: "I've heard of it!".
"I just said it casually at the time, but I didn't expect Pu Jialan to humiliate me to the extreme, but there is a sentence that is very useful and makes me regain my confidence!", I have to sigh when I am humiliated, is this still Chen Dingxian?
Tang Tong also heard that Pu Jialan is a thoughtful person, and she is the best at reading people's faces and minds." You don't have to take Pu Jialan's words too seriously, just laugh and talk about it!".
Chen Dingxian disagreed, "I thought so at first, but it's still very insightful to taste carefully!", at this time, the wine and food came up, and the two stopped talking.
Tang Tong raised his glass, "Our brothers haven't been together for a long time, let's drink three cups first!".
After three glasses of wine, Chen Dingxian resumed the topic, "She said that as long as she doesn't officially get married, there is room for maneuver.".
Tang Tong raised his wine glass, "You believe her too!" Come and drink!".
The two had a drink, and Chen Dingxian continued: "She said that we have a Zhiduoxing in the Qingyuan Hou Mansion, let me ask for advice."
Tang informed that this Zhi Duoxing was talking about himself, otherwise Chen Dingxian would not have come to him." She's just trying to tell you not to divert her and not pester her.", she said, putting down her glass and looking at him.
Chen Ding was clear at first, but he also knew what he wanted, "I just ask Brother Tang to help me come up with an idea, what should I do next.".
Tang Tong finished eating, and then shook his head, "Let Chen Shaogao see it, I can't help it!".
Chen Ding raised his glass first, "I salute Brother Tang!" and drank it dry as he spoke. There was still a prayer in his eyes, but Tang Tong didn't pay attention to it. After a while, Chen Dingxian begged again: "Brother Tang is at a loss to look at me like this?".
Tang Tong had no choice but to express his worries, and said bluntly: "I'd rather demolish ten temples than destroy a marriage. Although Xia Xunqiu's marriage is ruined, her heart is not with you, why should Chen Shao be persistent!"
"How do you know if you don't try?", Chen Dingxian is still very stubborn.
"I think it's okay to forget this, it will make Xia Xunqiu turn against you, and the gains outweigh the losses!".
Chen Dingxian said firmly: "That's my business, Brother Tang just help me!", seeing that Tang Tong still didn't agree, he stood up and walked to Tang Tong's side, holding Tang Tong's hand, "Brother has never begged brother, just help me!".
At this point, if he refused, he really disregarded his brotherly affection, Tang Tong pointed to the seat where Chen Ding had sat first and said, "Sit down first, let me talk to you slowly!", after Chen Ding sat down first, Tang Tong raised his glass, "Let's have a drink first and then talk slowly!".
Drinking a glass of wine and eating some food, Tang Tong calmed down and did not directly enter the topic, "This thing cannot be done by one person, and you must first have a good relationship with one person to achieve this matter.".
Chen Dingxian asked anxiously, "Who is it?".
"Jianchun!".
Chen Dingxian was very puzzled, "It's just a girl, why do you want to slap her?".
"Jianchun is also a beauty, why not!".
Chen Dingxian still didn't quite understand, and looked at Tang Tong with blank eyes, "Please explain it more clearly, brother.".
Tang Tong was thinking in his heart, the words had been said above, and Chen Dingxian's intelligence still couldn't keep up. had to point out, "As long as she sends a message to Chen Shao, won't everything be solved?"
Chen Dingxian's heart was bright now, but he still wanted to sit on Heng Qicheng, "What should I do next?".
Tang Tong replied, "The road has been pointed out, everything depends on myself, I am just an outsider!".
Chen Dingxian also felt that he was a little excessive, and no longer entangled, "I'll do the following things well, thank you Brother Tang!".
"As long as you don't confess to me, then Amitabha."...
Chen Ding hurriedly said, "How could it be? I will take care of this matter alone, and I will never affect my brother!".
Tang Tong smiled. In a happy mood, Chen Ding drank wine first and had a taste, and it was not until he was half drunk that the two of them went downstairs. Tang Tong handed fifty taels of silver to Chen Xiao, "Store it at the counter, and settle the bill later!", after speaking, he and Chen Dingxian left together, called a carriage to send Chen Dingxian to his home, and because he drank too much wine, it was inconvenient to go back to the barracks, so he returned to his own house.
