There are three major families in Yanzhou County, Jiangdong Province, and there is the Qiu family of Lu Guogong in the north of the city, and the head of the family, Qiu Jie. In the southwest of the city, there is a light car Hou Wei Chi family, the head of the family Wei Chi Jingye, as for the last of the three major families, the surname Chu, the head of the family Chu Zilie, the official worship Cheng Pingbo. It is said that an earl cannot be compared with the Duke of Lu and the Marquis of Qingche, but Chu Zilie is different from ordinary earls, he has a daughter named Chu Fengying, who is the queen of the dynasty.

There is a floating cloud mountain in the east of Yanzhou County thirty miles, towering and towering, about 1,200 zhang high, the ancient trees on the mountain are towering to the sky, all kinds of strange flowers and plants, on the top of the peak, often covered by floating clouds, so it is named Fuyun Mountain. At the foot of Fuyun Mountain, there is a large manor covering an area of hundreds of acres, and the owner of the manor is Chu Zilie, the reign of the dynasty. The Chu family manor is a typical Jiangnan manor style, graceful and beautiful, and it is no wonder that it will raise a beauty like Queen Chu Fengying.

With Chu Fengying becoming the queen in the past few years, the lord Chu Zilie has changed his arrogance and domineering in the past, and has become gentle and frugal. In the past two years, Chu Zilie has become more and more quiet, and he hides in the Tingtao Pavilion of the Chu family manor to cultivate his self-cultivation when he has nothing to do.

Listening to Tao Pavilion, as the name suggests, built by water, there are secluded forests and green bamboos next to it, hidden in the depths of the Chu family manor, more like a paradise away from the hustle and bustle, the abbot is hiding in the Tao Pavilion, meditating, participating in Zen, enjoying the silence of no distractions, forgetting things and me, occasionally raising flowers, watching fish, no one disturbs, enjoying himself every day, not happy.

On this morning, Chengping Bo Chu Zilie, who had a majestic face and a beautiful beard, was wearing a civilian suit and was watching fish on the Moon Bridge next to Tingtao Pavilion.

Mochizuki Bridge, the bridge has 27 holes, across the Taiping Lake in the garden, there are hundreds of large and small lions carved on the railing stone pillar of Mochizuki Bridge, the form is different, or sit or stand or lie down, or contemplate or stand or play, there is no duplicate. When the first emperor Huizong was alive, he inspected Jiangdong Road, and the Chu family was responsible for receiving it. When the first emperor Huizong lived in the Chu family, he loved this bridge very much, and wrote the words "Yanyue Lingbo" for this bridge.

It was also at that time that the first emperor and Chu Zilie had an appointment with their in-laws, and Chu Fengying, who had already secretly promised Ling Hualong, the son of Jiangdong, could not disobey his father's order and the emperor's order, so he had no choice but to marry into the East Palace and become a titular princess. Ling Hualong is the orphan of Chu Zilie's old friend Ling Tianyu, and has been raised in the Chu family since childhood.

Yin Guang, who later ascended the throne and became the emperor, acquiesced in the infatuated Ling Hualong in the name of Chu Zechen, the third son of the Chu family, to enter the palace once a month to have a tryst with his old lover Chu Fengying.

The confidentiality of this matter is very well done, except for the three parties involved, Chu Zilie and his wife and two sons, Chu Zeshan and Chu Zeshui, no one can know. Chu Zilie was worried that Long Yan's anger would harm the whole family at first, but later he heard that it was the emperor himself who approved it, so he put his heart back in his stomach, acquiescing to this fait accompli, and the emperor acquiesced to it, and it was not his turn to worry about it.

Chu Zilie was lying on the railing of the bridge, holding a pocket made of gray cloth in his hand, and the pocket was fish food. Chu Zilie raised his hand, and a handful of fish food fell, and thousands of carp surged on Taiping Lake in an instant, with large and small carp of different colors, and even more, they would jump up to catch the fish food. Chu Zilie looked at these fish competing for fish food, and couldn't help laughing, the laughter continued, and the old housekeeper Chu Taizhong ran over out of breath, "Master, master, Yu Chi Daliang of the Qingche Hou Mansion asks to see you!"

When Chu Zilie heard the name of Yu Chi Daliang, he couldn't help frowning

frowned, and a look of disgust appeared on his face, "You just told him that I was busy meditating and going to meditation, and I didn't see it!" After speaking, he walked away from Mochizuki Bridge with a gray cloth bag containing fish food.

Chu Zilie walked less than five steps away, and someone laughed in the distance: "Uncle Chu, why should you refuse the little nephew to be thousands of miles away? I have heard for a long time that the old man is a glutton, and the little nephew specially went to the Nulong River this morning to catch a few river carp, and sincerely brought it to share the delicious food with the uncle, is the uncle really not interested?"

Chu Zilie sighed, turned around, and saw two people on the other side of the bridge, one after the other, the person in front of him, about thirty years old, medium in stature, good appearance, scholarly dress, purple cloth Tang scarf, shaking a folding fan in his hand, staggering over, followed by a small guy, carrying two wooden barrels with a flat pole, and in the wooden barrel was carrying a few lively Nulong River river carp. It is Chi Daliang, the young marquis of the Qingchehou Mansion.

Chu Zilie immediately changed his smiling face, handed the bag containing fish food to the housekeeper Chu Taizhong, and snorted, "What did the virtuous nephew say? The old uncle suddenly felt a little unwell, and wanted to go back to the room to rest for a while, since the virtuous nephew has already brought the carp, how can there be any reason not to eat it? Come on, come on, follow the old man to the flower hall and sit down, and let the kitchen braise these carp, so that you and my uncle and nephew can feast on it!"

As he spoke, Chu Zilie led the way in front, walked through the corridor, and took Yu Chi Daliang to the flower hall where the guests were entertained in the mansion, sat down and said some innocuous gossip to each other. At this time, the kitchen had already prepared the fish, and a few exquisite side dishes, including meat, shrimp and vegetables, and a pot of fine Lingnan Duchun wine, Chu Zilie just raised the chopsticks and said, "Please!", Yu Chi Daliang stretched out his chopsticks and shook off his cheeks to eat, completely looking like a starving ghost reincarnated.

Chu Zilie saw that Wei Chi Daliang didn't have any image when he ate, and he couldn't help frowning slightly, and he was very unhappy in his heart. The light car Hou Chi Jingye is old and has a son, and he spoils this child lawlessly, and he doesn't dare to give the stars to the moon, so Yu Chi Daliang has developed an extremely arrogant and arrogant character, in this Yanzhou County, it is a notorious tyrant, so Chu Zilie didn't want to see him, but he didn't expect this cheeky man to break in, and it was not good to drive him out.

It stands to reason that although the light car Hou Wei Chi Jingye is the Hou Ye, Chu Zilie is the national master, and there is nothing to be afraid of him, let alone Wei Chi Daliang, but the sixty-year-old Hou Wei Chi Jingye actually recognized Yang Jingzhong, the chief manager, as his godfather, and he was willing to be his godson, which was a joke in the community. The godson of the chief steward, this is easy not to offend. Wei Chi Jingye has been good at drilling camps for three generations, otherwise why would he be called a family with Qiu Jie, the Duke of Lu?

Yu Chi Daliang was so happy to eat, he said while eating: "Uncle, I have long heard that the chef in your house Yan Yunshan has superb cooking skills, and the little nephew has always wanted to come and eat a meal, but he can't help it, and today he finally got what he wanted, although this river carp is delicious, but it also requires the chef's kung fu to be delicious, and Chef Yan's cooking skills are indeed superb, it is really delicious! It is even more clever than the methods of Liu Chengxing, the chef of Huangheju in the city!"

Chu Zilie, who was full of displeasure, got up and poured a glass of wine for Yu Chi Daliang, and said with a fake smile: "Since the virtuous nephew likes it, then you are welcome to come as a guest in the future, but your father, an old fellow, nests in the Hou Mansion every day, and refuses to come out to play, and he can't see him once a year, you go back and tell him for the uncle, today the uncle scolded him, it's all the old brother and brother, tell him not to always hide at home, and often come to me as a guest when he has time!"

Yu Chi Daliang raised his glass and took a sip of Du Chun, and laughed: "Uncle, you, you still say that my father!

Are you hiding in the village and refusing to see people? If I hadn't been thick-skinned and broke in with people today, I would have eaten a closed door! You are hiding and meditating in the village every day, thinking that you would become a Buddha and an immortal?"

Chu Zilie smiled silently when he heard this.

Yu Chi Daliang leaned back in his chair and asked with a big grin: "Uncle, do you have any opinion of Pingxi Wang Yinquan?"

Chu Zilie, who had always spoken cautiously, was stunned when he heard this, and said very unnaturally: "Virtuous nephew, I can't understand what you say, what can I think?" King Pingxi is the vassal king of a country, the emperor's cousin, with the respect of the prince of the county, wearing the prince's clothes, and guarding the territory of the territory, what qualifications do I have as a little Cheng Pingbo to say irresponsible remarks to him?"

Chi Daliang, the biggest lieutenant in the city, laughed and said: "Uncle, don't hide it from me! With your uncle's strength, are you willing to be a Chengping Bo in Yanzhou County? This small Yanzhou County, Lu Guogong, Qingche Hou, Chengping Bo, from the point of view of the title, uncle, you are the lowest, but in terms of strength, you are the strongest, you really don't want to go further?"

Chu Zilie shook his head and said: "Uncle is not like your father, he had the merit of saving the car from the army back then, and was given the hereditary light car marquis." Uncle just gave birth to a good daughter and became the head of the country, and he is already satisfied to be awarded the title of Chengping Bo, what other luxury can he have?"

Yu Chi Daliang sneered and said: "Uncle, it seems hypocritical for you to say this! You also know that the incompetent emperor can't fight the eunuchs and ministers inside the palace, and he can't fight the vassal king outside the palace, even if your daughter is the queen, how many people really respect you in their hearts? Among the current vassal kings, the king of Pingxi, Yin Quan, is the most powerful, and the good ministers choose the lord and the lord, so does the uncle really not think about it?"

Chu Zilie stopped the chopsticks holding the fish and sneered, "Virtuous nephew, this is really not interesting! My daughter is the queen, and I am the national abbot, can the king of Pingxi still give me a more respectful status than the national abbot? Your father and I are both courtiers of the great merchants, favored by the Son of Heaven, the emperor's grace is immense, and the official is high-ranking and noble, so shouldn't we think about being loyal to the monarch and serving the country? Could it be that the virtuous nephew is not here today to eat fish, but to be a lobbyist for the king of Pingxi?"

After a conversation, Yu Chi Daliang, who felt a headache, smiled bitterly, "Uncle, forget it, you just don't say anything to me!"

Chu Zilie, who had been cautious, stood up, walked to the window of the flower hall with his hands in his hands, looked at the pleasant scenery outside the window, and said in a deep voice: "All forces are staring at me, just because I have 8,000 elite soldiers on hand, and my two sons are outside as generals leading troops." But these soldiers are all soldiers of the Great Shang, they belong to the imperial court, they belong to the emperor, you father and son want to take refuge in the king of Pingxi, I can't control it, I can only manage the Chu family!"

The words were not speculative for more than half a sentence, the banquet soon dispersed unhappily, Yu Chi Daliang got up and left, Chu Zilie did not send it out, just stared coldly at Yu Chi Daliang's back gradually moving away, and after a while, he spat fiercely and scolded, "Chaotic ministers and thieves!"

The drunken Wei Chi Daliang stumbled towards the outside of the village and chuckled: "Old fellow, do you really think that you can manage the Chu family well?
