Chapter 258: Father-in-law Bao's Worries
After Concubine Wu calmed down, she spoke again: "Thank you Xiao Chenzi, come and help the palace change clothes!" ”
"It's not hard, serve the mother."
Chen Xiangbei stepped forward in response.
Thinking of such an intimate door-to-door service, Wu Guifei should reward herself vigorously, right?
Sure enough.
After changing clothes, Concubine Wu took out a stack of treasure money again.
"Xiao Chenzi, you performed very well today, you deserve it!"
When I looked at it, it turned out to be a full five thousand taels!
Boy!
This Wu Guifei is like being able to print money, and her shots are getting more and more generous!
Of course, Chen Xiangbei also knew her intentions.
Buying people's hearts with money is always the lowest cost means!
If it weren't for Li Guifei's deep friendship with him, he might really have jumped to Wanfu Palace and concentrated on eating this bowl of soft rice.
"Thank you for the reward!"
Chen Xiangbei didn't push like last time, and reached out to take it and thanked him respectfully.
For one, he is now penniless and in need of money.
Second, this is the bond between him and Wu Guifei to maintain the relationship.
If you don't take the money that the rich woman gives you, then you don't know how to lift!
After finishing everything, Chen Xiangbei came out of Wanfu Palace.
After settling the matter of silver, Chen Xiangbei was in a good mood, humming a small tune all the way back to his one-room cabin.
However, as soon as he came to the gate of the courtyard, he sensed a chilling coercion, as if some kind of big Buddha appeared around him out of thin air, and even the air was filled with invisible coercion!
When he entered the door, Chen Xiangbei's heart was about to jump out, and in the large shadow under the eaves, there was a thin figure.
He was slightly rickety, his hands folded on his sleeves, like a yin vulture cowering at the bottom of the eaves.
"Xiao Chenzi, are you back?"
The voice was shrill and delicate, but it was creepy.
"Grandpa Bao? What are you doing here? ”
After seeing the comer clearly, Chen Xiangbei's heart beat violently.
Grandpa Bao is back?
What's the matter with coming to me in the middle of the night?
"Our family just returned from running errands outside the palace the day before yesterday, and I have been cultivating in the house for two days, and on a whim, I want to see how your recent cultivation progress is."
Father-in-law Bao walked out of the shadows, but the yin vulture aura on his body did not diminish at all: "It's so late, have you just come back from Dongchang?" ”
Chen Xiangbei was a little confused about Gonggong Bao's intentions, and he didn't dare to hide anything in front of the top ten masters of the Imperial City.
"Father-in-law Bao, I just came back from Wanfu Palace."
"Oh? Wanfu Palace, isn't that the palace of Wu Guifei, a noble daughter of the Jiangnan family? What are you going to do there? ”
Gonggong Bao narrowed his eyes slightly, and the yin vulture aura on his body became stronger.
Chen Xiangbei knew that Gonggong Bao was Concubine Li's confidant, and he was also the wife of Dazhuguo, and Mrs. Lin's eyeliner, so he truthfully told the truth about going to Wanfu Palace.
After listening to the ins and outs, Father-in-law Bao was silent for a long time.
Then he slowly exhaled a breath of turbidity.
"Xiao Chenzi, you haven't been in Huaqing Palace for half a year, right? Now even the Wu Guifei of Wanfu Palace has become your deep friend? Sure enough, after entering the East Factory, I have grown a lot of skills! ”
When Chen Xiangbei heard this, he was like being struck by lightning.
Father-in-law Bao's implication was clearly to accuse him of being half-hearted and meddling.
"Father-in-law Bao, you misunderstood, my trip to Wanfu Palace was all due to Concubine Li Gui's mother's meaning,
Niangniang and Wu Guifei are like sisters, and they can't bear to suffer from nightmares all day long, so I have time to go over and take a look and help Wu Guifei suppress her mind. ”
"Oh? Then the mother told you to go, you will go? Do you know that this is really a mother's heart? ”
"What if the mother is duplicitous?"
Bao Gong is fair.
Chen Xiangbei naturally understands this, but in order to beg for food, he is also forced to be helpless.
Besides, in the current situation in the palace, he doesn't move around much, solving the problem of food and clothing in the palace, does it really make Li Guifei tighten her pants and get by.
How could he, Chen Xiangbei, let his future women suffer the slightest grievance?
"Father-in-law Bao, in fact, I am also forced to do so, you should also understand the situation of Huaqing Palace, Dazhuguo has cut off the support of Niangniang, if I don't want to think of a way, what will happen to the finances of Huaqing Palace?"
"Wu Guifei is from Jiangnan Qianzhuang, and she has always been generous, although she can't solve the urgent needs of Huaqing Palace, but it's better than reaching out to Niangniang, right?
Moreover, I won't tell you that I have come into contact with the black market in the palace, and I am trying to find a way to hoard Juqi from it to earn the difference, and now is the time when I need the support of silver, so I went to Wanfu Palace. ”
Chen Xiangbei gave everything out of his hands without the slightest concealment.
After listening to Chen Xiangbei's unspeakable secrets, Bao Gonggong's gloomy gaze eased slightly, and the coercion that filled the air also dissipated a lot.
He sighed deeply.
"It is said that the master and servant under this palace are the same forest birds, and they fly separately when disaster comes.
When the master is in trouble, it is often his subordinates who are heavy-footed.
You're different from those guys with ghosts, and you know how to share your worries with your mother, it's really rare.
We didn't mistake you at the beginning! ”
"It's just that although this Wu Guifei is from a wealthy Jiangnan family, you always run to Wanfu Palace, and you will inevitably be imperceptibly 。。。。。。"
Bao Gonggong said earnestly: "People will change. ”
Chen Xiangbei knew that it was obviously not enough for Gonggong Bao to completely let go of the doubts in his heart.
So he lifted up three fingers and swore to heaven.
"Father-in-law Bao, don't worry, thanks to the support of Niangniang and you, I have today's Xiao Chenzi, if I have any betrayal of Niangniang in the future, I should be thundered by the sky!"
Seeing that Chen Xiangbei was so determined, Bao Gonggong completely let down his guard.
"Okay, we hope you can really stay true to your original intention."
As he spoke, Grandpa Bao asked again: "By the way, do you have a heavy task on the East Factory recently?" ”
"Recently, there has been a big case in the suburbs of Beijing, and I may need to wait for the dispatch of the higher authorities at any time in the next few days."
"Father-in-law Bao has something important to order?"
"If you're in a hurry, I'll do it immediately!"
Chen Xiangbei's meaning is very clear, no matter how busy Dongchang is, he always puts the affairs of Huaqing Palace in the first place.
Gonggong Bao was also very satisfied with Chen Xiangbei's attitude, and did not neglect the affairs of the palace because he entered the East Factory.
So he waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, I originally wanted to give you guidance on your cultivation, and it will take a few days during the period, so let's wait until you are done with this case." ”
Hearing that Gonggong Bao was going to teach him a lesson, Chen Xiangbei immediately came to his senses.
It's a pity that I have a bunch of things to follow up, and I can't follow Bao's father-in-law to practice.
"Thank you Grandpa Bao, then I'll look for you when I'm done?"
"Alright, that's all for today."
Grandpa Bao nodded, and then turned around and left.
"Father-in-law Bao go slowly!" Chen Xiangbei saluted respectfully.
