Chapter 7: Is It Good-looking?
He intercepted Chen Yan before he could meet with Gu Yuan.
"Who are you? Dare to stop this official?! Chen Yan, who was blocked from his way, frowned and looked at the hairy boy in front of him.
"In the Xiayu Palace, Gu Yan has seen the imperial envoy of Chen Du." Gu Yan respectfully bowed to him and directly reported his name.
Hearing this, Chen Yan was stunned, but he didn't expect that the kid with fine skin and tender meat in front of him was Gu Yan, who had been detained as a proton in the North Starling for eight years.
"It turned out to be the third son, what is the matter with the third son looking for the old man?" When he came back to his senses, his old face faded away from the harshness and smiled.
"Borrow a step to speak."
Gu Yan led him to the private room that Lu Ran had booked for him.
After the door closed, Gu Yan spoke: "I know that my eldest brother has made an appointment with the imperial envoy today, so I came here earlier and wanted to talk to the imperial envoy first." ”
Chen Yan's face changed, although Gu Yuan did not explain in detail the intention of the two of them today in the letter, but he knew in his heart that it was for Gu Yan. Now that the two of them were caught by Gu Yan before they met, Chen Yan couldn't help but feel a little uneasy in his heart.
"Third son, please speak." Still, he kept his composure.
"You know that the Holy God has given me the official who is in charge of the Duyu Division, and I will have to work under you in the future. If I help you discipline Du Yu Si well, you will soon be promoted. You came from a bad background, and you didn't get famous until you were twenty-eight years old. After 20 years of hard work in the officialdom, it is now nearly 50 years old to fight for the title of the imperial envoy, if you want to continue to go up, there are still a few years to fight? Gu Yan's intentions were clear.
Chen Yan touched the jade wrench in his hand, considered Gu Yan's words in his heart, and only after a moment did he ask him, "But how do you know that the eldest prince of your mansion didn't help me like this?" ”
This time it was Gu Yan's turn to smile, he took a sip of tea unhurriedly, and continued: "My eldest brother definitely doesn't have this ability, even if he has him, he has to rely on money to help you get through the relationship and let you go up, but this matter is time-consuming and laborious, and if you don't get it right, it will be exposed to the Holy Front." The emperor is a person who can't tolerate sand in his eyes, if he is contaminated with such a stigma, you will not only lose your wife, but also lose your soldiers. ”
Chen Yan thought about his words carefully, Gu Yan was right, he went to work under him, if he could do his best to put Du Yusi in order, then he could also get a share of this head. If you agree to Gu Yuan and let him spend money and effort to dredge up the relationship for himself, he will not only take the risk but also see no hope.
Chen Yan narrowed his eyes, "It means that you have this ability?" ”
Gu Yan met his eyes full of scrutiny, and said unhurriedly: "What is the place of the Northern Starling Imperial Court, I think you also know very well in your heart, I can return to Dayan intact from the place where you eat people and don't spit out bones, do you think this is not enough for you to trust?" ”
"Your words, the old man will take to heart." Seeing that the hour was about the same, Chen Yan got up from his seat and walked out of his private room.
Gu Yan drank all the tea in the cup and called Lu Ran to let him stare at Chen Yan for the past two days. He knew that Chen Yan wanted to personally verify whether his words were true or not, and soon he would be able to wait for Chen Yan's news.
Thinking that Chu Yuan and Gu Qianqian were still wandering around the streets, Gu Yan hurriedly walked out of the Drunken Immortal Building, and when he went outside, he happened to see Gu Yuan getting out of the carriage, and he hurriedly disappeared into the crowd.
"I can be regarded as finding you, you let me find it!" Gu Yan panted and leaned in front of the counter, and when he found Chu Yu and Gu Qianqian, the two of them were trying rouge in the rouge shop.
"Third brother, you're here, look at what I drew for Sister Yu! Is it good-looking? Gu Qianqian dragged him and came to Chu Yu.
Seeing the makeup on Chu Xuan's face, Gu Yan squirted out the tea that the shopkeeper had just handed over, and it happened to spray Chu Xuan's face.
