Chapter 373: Old Friends Reunited
Although Chen Shu said so, such a leisurely and relieved emperor is better than the kind of suspicious and suspicious all day long.
Although Li Qinglu is young, Chen Shu is the lover she picked herself, after the Mandarin League is harmonious, the outside is surrounded by such tigers and wolves, she also works very hard to do these things well, and she is very busy every day.
After Li Qiushui left, Li Qinglu had several meetings with her grandmother's two important figures, Zuo Xiang Ye Maohua and Gan Pingzhang. Although the little princess is inevitably a little cowardly, she is still quite smart after all, after Chen Shu and Huang Rong's professors, coupled with her own efforts, at least on the surface, these two people are quite convinced, and now they have a faint posture to take over Li Qiushui's power.
The situation between the DPRK and China was a bit chaotic, but fortunately, Li Qiushui solved Helian Tieshu's party ahead of schedule, and the others were not in chaos. Half a month later, Xingqing City gradually calmed down, but it was also like the calm before the storm, and everything was waiting for the battle afterward.
After the First World War, no matter what the outcome is, the Jin people will definitely attack immediately. The Jin delegation has been evacuated, and after such an incident, Wanyan Zonghan completely overwhelmed Wanyan Zongbi within the Jin people, and Wanyan Lorne met with Chen Shu before leaving, looking quite depressed.
In the afternoon of this day, Chen Shu took more than a dozen Yipintang experts to inspect the city and returned to the mansion. Huang Rong accompanied Li Qinglu to take inventory of the Hyogo, Wang Yuyan and Xiaolongnu also went out, only Ah Jiu was lying on the table writing something.
Chen Shu walked over curiously, Ah Jiu heard the voice, hurriedly stood up, and when he saw Chen Shu, he hurriedly wanted to block the paper on the table.
Chen Shu smiled: "Okay, Ah Jiu, I can't even read what you write?"
Ah Jiu's face turned red, lowered his head and said, "There's nothing to see." ”
Although Chen Shu was a little curious, seeing that she didn't show it to herself, she didn't force it, so she smiled and said, "Okay, you can write it, I'm going out." ”
Just as he was about to go out, the porter came to report that someone had asked to see him.
Chen Shu went out to see it, and couldn't help but be overjoyed, it turned out to be a few long-lost old people.
They are Jiang Hongying and Du Qingyue's sisters and brothers, Geng Shanyun, and Zhen Xiang.
Several people looked at Chen Shu with a smile, and Chen Shu stepped forward with great joy and said, "How did you find it?"
I couldn't help but wonder in my heart, Jiang Hongying said with a smile: "We have come all the way, but we have admired the name of 'Dumping the Country' for a long time." ”
Chen Shu gave him a punch angrily, and said with a smile: "You guys are also here to make fun of me?"
When we meet again after a long absence, we are naturally very happy. Geng Shanyun stepped forward, patted Chen Shu on the shoulder and laughed: "Stinky boy, now that you are a concubine, do you remember our Hui girl?"
The people inside and outside the door were all curious when they heard this, and they all wondered in their hearts whether this concubine was another Chen Shimei? The story of Bao Qingtian in the Southern Dynasty spread all over the country, and everyone knew that there was a Chen concubine who was unlucky. At this time, Geng Shanyun said that everyone suddenly thought about it.
Chen Shu smiled a little embarrassedly and invited a few people into the mansion. Seeing the guests coming, Ah Jiu hurriedly stood up. Several people looked at her, and Du Qingyue smiled: "This must be Her Royal Highness the Princess, it's really beautiful." ”
Ah Jiu hurriedly said: "No, no, I'm not ......"
Chen Shu smiled: "She is also a princess, but not this princess, Sister Yue, please take a seat." ”
Several people were surprised when they heard it, and Jiang Hongying sneered: "Are there still a few princesses in our Horse Mansion?"
Chen Shu shook his head, and had to simply say Ah Jiu's identity. Everyone was immediately in awe, if you really want to talk about it, although Li Qinglu, the princess of Western Xia, is powerful and powerful, in the hearts of these people, a princess of Fanguo is naturally not as good as the orthodox princess of the Ming Dynasty.
Ah Jiu was a little shy, hung his head and said, "Big brother, I'll go prepare some food." "She has been learning cooking skills from Huang Rong, although it is still far from the former, but it is also extremely good. Ah Jiu's personality is modest and peaceful, although there are subordinates in the house, but she often likes to do it herself, Huang Rong is rare to show her skills, during this time, Chen Shu and they have tasted Ah Jiu's craftsmanship the most.
Du Qingyue hurriedly said: "Don't dare to do this, how dare we ask the princess to cook?"
Ah Jiu smiled and said, "Sister, don't call me that, I'm still a princess, just an ordinary girl." He said and walked inside.
Seeing that several people were glaring at him, Chen Shu couldn't help but take a step back speechlessly, and said, "What are you doing?
Geng Shanyun smiled strangely: "We are all thinking, where did you stinky boy get such a good blessing, even the princess got it in pairs." ”
Du Qingyue couldn't help frowning when she heard him say ugly, "What nonsense is Second Uncle Geng talking about!"
Jiang Hongying said: "That's it, the dog can't spit out ivory in his mouth, hurry up and shut up!"
Jiang Hongying and Geng Shanyun were both life-and-death friendships that were fought side by side on the battlefield that day, so they naturally laughed without scruples. Geng Shanyun pointed at him and scolded with a smile: "Little rabbit cub, you are so afraid of your wife, is it a shame?"
Chen Shu was stunned when he heard this, and looked at Jiang Hongying and Du Qingyue, both of whom were embarrassed by him. Du Qingyu next to him said with a smile: "Brother Chen, Lao Jiang is already our brother-in-law!"
Chen Shu was surprised and delighted when he heard this, slapped his palm on the table, and said with a smile: "Okay, you Jiang Hongying, don't you invite me to drink wedding wine when you get married?"
Jiang Hongying said with a dry smile: "Who can get you for the goods you are running around in the South China Sea and North these days?"
Chen Shu frowned and said, "Is it my fault for saying this?"
Jiang Hongying spread his hands and said, "What do you say?"
The two glared at each other for a while, and laughed at the same time, Du Qingyue's face was slightly red, and she hurriedly stood up and said, "I'll help Her Royal Highness the Princess." ”
After a few people chattered for a while, Chen Shu asked, "How is Uncle Xiao's health? Is Huihui okay? How are everyone doing?"
Geng Shanyun rolled his strange eyes and glared at him for a while before he said: "Finally, you kid still know how to care about them, if you really dare to learn that, old Geng, I don't care what kind of horse you are, I have to pinch your eggs!"
Chen Shu listened to his long-lost foul words, but felt very kind. Jiang Hongying said: "Brother, in fact, Old Hero Xiao has already met your son-in-law!"
Chen Shu was stunned when he heard this, and Jiang Hongying smiled and said, "Didn't you be sent to Pingyizhi's Mansion for treatment last time? At that time, Xiao Lao Hero was also there. By the way, when it comes to this, I have to thank Deng Qing's kid, if he hadn't spent a lot of money, a few of us really wouldn't have such a big face, please move a finger to treat his old man. At that time, your kid was unconscious, and Xiao Lao Hero didn't know what this thing was, so he stood on crutches and looked at it for a while, but he didn't know that it was his good son-in-law. We weren't there at the time, and you were sent away not long after, and later I asked Lord Xue of the Red Flower Society to find out that it was you, and Lao Xiao was stunned. ”
Chen Shu pondered for a moment and said, "So Uncle Xiao's health has improved?"
Geng Shanyun said angrily: "I just kicked your heart in the heart of your colt? What uncle and ghost father, do you want your father to know?"
Chen Shu glared at him speechlessly, and asked Jiang Hongying about Xiao Zhonghui's situation. Jiang Hongying smiled: "You have to ask Lao Geng, how do I know the situation over there." ”
Geng Shanyun puffed up his chest and looked at Chen Shu triumphantly. Chen Shu was secretly amused, ignoring the old boy, turning his head to Zhen Xiang and smiling: "Brother Zhen, are all the injuries of Master Ling healed?"
Zhen Xiang smiled and said: "It's all good, Chen Gongzi doesn't want to be called that, I can't afford it." ”
Chen Shu shook his head and said, "We are all friends, what is there to be ashamed of." ”
Zhen Xiang didn't even dare to say it, and said: "Master has an order, so let me work for my son." ”
Chen Shu is now short of manpower, and he can't help but be very happy. Geng Shanyun next to him was so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks, and scolded: "Damn, the stinky boy is really a bastard with no conscience!"
Chen Shu glanced at him with a smile, and asked Jiang Hongying again, "How did you get together, and why did you think of coming here to find me?"
Jiang Hongying said with a smile: "We know from Deng Qing that you are coming to Xingqing, or brother, you have a good eye for people, Deng Qing's guy is not what it used to be now, and he is also a character in Luoyang." Miss Xiao also received a lot of help from him on the cottage, this time we came over, in addition to looking for you, there was also to help his bodyguards. ”
Chen Shu was stunned and said, "Bodyguard?"
Jiang Hongying said: "Yes, half a cart of silver from Xuehuahua is given to your brother." ”
Chen Shu looked stunned and asked, "Did Deng Qing give it to me?"
Although Deng Qing's capital was given by Chen Shu, he has always been in charge of the shopkeeper, even if he is completely left behind, Chen Shu will not feel too excessive. But he also knew that Deng Qing was a pure and upright person, and he had always been grateful and respectful to him, so it was not strange to send him money, after all, he also mentioned it last time.
Jiang Hongying looked around and said in a low voice: "In fact, in addition to him, there are also Shi Tianxiong, and a group of them have gathered a lot of chivalrous ways in Luoyang and Kaifeng. ”
Chen Shu was even more stunned when he heard this, and said strangely: "What are they giving me money for?"
Jiang Hongying said: "Brother, you may not know it yourself, but now your reputation in the Heluo area can be said to be in full swing, and you don't think about it as a second person." Guo Daxia Qiao's gang leader in the Southern Dynasty is not as good as you, and the story of you killing Ao Bai in the Ten Thousand Army Array is passed down from mouth to mouth, and children can recite it backwards. ”
Chen Shu was dumbfounded when he heard this, and only after a while did he shake his head and said with a wry smile: "This ...... I'm ashamed. ”
When I went all the way to Beijing that day, I had heard excessive praise for myself, and a large part of it was because the Han people had been oppressed by the Hu people for too long and deliberately beautified and exaggerated. After killing and worshipping, it is obviously even more terrible, and I am in it, but I only feel that everything is a very simple and ordinary thing, and I am a little reluctant to be so respected.
Zhen Xiang said: "Now in Kaifeng, Luoyang and other places, although the Jin people are forbidden by force, there are still many people who gather in private to listen to the storyteller's deeds about Chen Gongzi. Now everyone knows that when Gongzi was in the capital, he was surrounded by the Qing army, but he turned into a flying dragon and soared out of the air, spitting fire and burning the invulnerable Aobai. ”
Chen Shu was even more speechless, holding his forehead and thinking about it, I am afraid that there are also artificial factors that contribute to the trouble, and the most suspicious one is Huang Rong's girl.
Jiang Hongying said with a smile: "Because of this, brother, you are now regarded as the hope of our Han people by fellow Heluo Daoists." Especially because brother, you are also famous in Luoyang, which makes Luoyang people have an inexplicable sense of pride and are quite proud of you. The silver taels that Shi Tianxiong and others put together were originally going to be given to the Heaven and Earth Society, but in the end, I didn't know how to discuss it, but I decided to hand it over to you, hoping that you could raise an army against Hu. ”
Chen Shu sighed, and suddenly felt a heaviness on his shoulders that seemed to have no reason, and the depth of hope that these compatriots had for him really moved him and was a little frightened.
He thought for a while and said, "Even if Deng Qing knew that I was here to Xingqing, it was impossible to know that I would be here to be this ...... Ahem, how did you find it so quickly?"
Ren Yingying and the others have only been gone for more than ten days, and at most they have just arrived in Luoyang, so they shouldn't have listened to her.
Jiang Hongying said: "In fact, the reason why Deng Qing decided to send the silver over was because the Jin people didn't know how and seemed to know your relationship with him, so he had to send it to you." It was also through the help of Shi Tianxiong and others that he was able to hide from the Jin people. Therefore, we can only bet this money to find you, and if we can't find it in Xingqing, we have to find it elsewhere. ”
Chen Shu understood a little bit at this time, and hurriedly said, "What about Brother Deng, is he okay?"
Jiang Hongying said: "It doesn't matter to him, don't worry." Although Jin Ren was suspicious of him, he made many friends in Luoyang during this period of time, and everyone was extremely appreciative of his conduct, and Jin Ren did not dare to touch him for the time being, but it was difficult to get out for a while. ”
At this time, Geng Shanyun next to him held back for a long time, his face turned blue and white for a while, and he roared angrily: "Damn, you two stinky boys did it on purpose, didn't you?
Jiang Hongying couldn't help laughing, Du Qingyu and Zhen Xiang couldn't help laughing, Chen Shu smiled: "You always put on a stinky face, how dare I ask?"
Geng Shanyun sulked for a while, and couldn't help laughing, shaking his head and saying, "Damn, I'm too lazy to be angry with you kid." Let me tell you, we are doing very prosperous in Taihang Mountain, and the Hui girl is very different from before, and if you see it again, you will be shocked out of ten. She took us to build cottages, open up fields and farm, train soldiers and prepare food, punish evil and eliminate traitors, relieve the poor, and make a great name for heaven. Who in the Taihang area does not know that there is a wise and martial king on the mountain, and the heroes from near and far come to vote, and now there are thousands of people on the mountain, ready to raise troops to the north at any time to recover the Central Plains!"
Chen Shu saw that he was talking like a river, and he was talking proudly, but he was funny, and said to Jiang Hongying: "Second uncle, have you listened to the book of which storyteller?
Jiang Hongying said with a smile: "Your second uncle has always liked to listen to books, who knows which passage he listened to? Fortunately, he didn't make up the story of Journey to the West, otherwise Miss Xiao would have held a golden hoop stick and kept your Chen Gongzi learning scriptures from the west." ”
A few people burst into laughter, but Geng Shanyun was not annoyed, holding the back of his head and laughing: "Damn, are you boys itching their skin?
As he spoke, he pointed at Chen Shuwei and smiled: "Stinky boy, you dare to argue with me like this, Cheng, I won't give you the letter of the wise girl!" (To be continued.) )
