The two days passed quickly, and on this day, Xu Shang took a new concubine again.

As a big man in Dongzhou, Xu Shang has a wide range of connections, and before noon, the Xu family is already in the market. There are also many big people from the capital, and many people from other states have also come. Just this kind of trivial matter of accepting concubines annoys many characters to come here to congratulate, which is enough to see that this Xu Shang is quite capable.

Based on this alone, it makes sense that the Xu family dared to rob the Mo family's medicinal materials.

Yan Zhiqiu and Chu Beichen entered the Xu Mansion early, and with their abilities, it was not difficult to get a fake identity.

It was about to fall at night, and officials from all over the country sat on the ground, Xu Shang sat alone in the north and facing south, raised his glass and said: "Today, Xu Mansion has added another happy event, and Xu welcomes everyone's visit." In order to thank you, Xu drank this glass of wine first, and you are free. ”

Yan Zhiqiu and Chu Beichen also raised their wine glasses and saluted.

On Xu Shang's right side, a person got up, picked up his wine glass and said, "Governor Xu has added another concubine, which is really a blessing for Dongzhou." In Dongzhou, who doesn't know that you, Lord Xu, are known as 'parents and officials', if you add another one today, wouldn't it be the luck of Dongzhou?

Chu Beichen rolled his eyes and said, "Can this sycophant still be like this? I almost blew him into the sky, this son has not been treated like this for so many years." ”

Yan Zhiqiu smiled: "Brother Murong, you don't know anything, this person is the governor of Dongzhou, a foreign official from Wupin Capital." On this territory, what he said basically doesn't count, everything depends on Xu Shang, he doesn't speak well, and he can't gain a foothold at all. ”

Chu Beichen pointed to the person behind him again, "Then this person, when he speaks, his waist will be pressed to the ground, so flattering, won't he be a big official." ”

Yan Zhiqiu shook his head, "No, this person's name is Xu Wei, a native of Dongyang City, and he is a little related to Xu Shang, but that was more than a hundred years ago." ”

"This Xu Shang, an official residence, will also be a relative. It's been more than 100 years, and it's not clear whether it's in that vein. ”

Yan Zhiqiu said: "If it is an ordinary person, Xu Shang will definitely not recognize it." But the key is that this person is extremely smart, very talented in business, there are rumors among the people, saying that if you give him a tael of silver, in less than half a day, he can earn you ten taels, and after a month, the property in his hand can exceed 10,000. In Dongzhou, my Mo family has a lot of business that was robbed by him, you said, just this ability to collect money, the official will not be favored when he sees it, even if it has no relationship, he can give you some relationship. ”

Chu Beichen smiled, "Could this be the rumored poor in the downtown and no one asks, and the rich in the mountains are asked." ”

Yan Zhiqiu nodded, "Probably." ”

After that, it is nothing more than flattering words, which are talked about by those who speak with relish, and people who listen to them are not tired of it. Chu Beichen also didn't understand, why did this official like to listen to these nonsense, and it was not good to ask someone to send something practical?

About an hour later, Chu Beichen couldn't help but be a little bored when he saw that Liu Ru had not yet attended, and said: "I said, how long is this wine going to drink, I can't wait, even if I am not in a hurry to ask for the birth sword, it is extremely comfortable to see that Liu Hua Kui's beautiful face." ”

Yan Zhiqiu smiled, "It turns out that Brother Murong is also a temperamental, and he hasn't seen it for a few days when he came to Shuofeng Mansion to have fun, it turns out that Brother Murong didn't meet that high-grade product, and he didn't want to eat this rouge powder." ”

Chu Beichen waved his hand awkwardly, "Brother Yan, don't make fun of me, haven't I seen Xunle these days? ”

Yan Zhiqiu laughed: "Reasonable, I'm having a toast." ”

Yan Zhiqiu drank it all, looked around, and asked, "Why don't you see your red-clothed maid?" I remember that before, he was inseparable from you. ”

Chu Beichen scratched his head, "She wasn't there early this morning, I shouldn't want to see this kind of scene, after all, they are all women, and men have three wives and four concubines, so they don't like it after all." ”

"It seems that Brother Murong is very considerate to his subordinates, and he doesn't report to you when he walks around at will, you have a deep relationship?"

Chu Beichen nodded, "Sort of, she has taught me a lot of things by my side, and I Murong Li has today, and she has played a great role." ”

When Yan Zhiqiu heard this, he took a drink from the wine glass, and apologized: "I don't know the special significance of that woman to Brother Murong, and she shouted indiscriminately that she was a subordinate, which is very inappropriate, and Yan Mou once again made amends in advance." ”

Chu Beichen waved his hand, "It's okay, Brother Yan doesn't know about this, so how can he make amends." I've drunk a little too much now, so I'll go to the toilet first and say goodbye first. ”

Yan Zhiqiu nodded, Chu Beichen breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly walked to the backyard of the Xu Mansion to find the place where he and Hua Yukui had discussed meeting before.

Xu Mansion added a happy event, and there were many fewer people who took care of Xu Tian's destiny before, after all, this person has a limited number of people, and everything must be prioritized.

Xu Shang, as a first-class official of the imperial court, was very busy when he was young and vigorous, and Xu Tianming was almost in a free-range state. I didn't learn much poetry and etiquette, and some crooked ways were all thrown into my brain, and all the people who took care of him were withdrawn, and it was still easy to unlock the lock.

When he went out of the room and stretched his waist, he saw Chu Beichen swaying in the courtyard alone, it seemed that he didn't want to steal, it could be that the son of the family went to the wrong place, and there was a new person.

He coughed lightly twice, and said solemnly: "I said, what are you doing, this dark person doesn't go to the front hall to drink my father's wedding wine, why are you here?"

Chu Beichen listened to the voice a little familiar, glanced back, and asked, "Xu Tianming?"

Now it was his turn to be surprised, and he pointed to himself and said, "You know me, but how come I have never met you, you are the son of that family." ”

Chu Beichen hesitated for a moment, this sister didn't know where to go, and she didn't leave the branch anymore, Yan Zhiqiu had also waited for a while, if he continued to spend it like this, if it had to arouse any suspicion, it was better to borrow him to delay the time first, and then discuss it later.

Chu Beichen thought about it again, and he could only do this, and said with a smile: "I see that your father is doing a happy event, and it is not very rude for you to be a son, so I will come to this backyard to find you and invite you to go to the front hall to occupy the joy." ”

''Hey, I'm not going, I'm too lazy to get involved in his old man's affairs.'' ”

But how could he twist Chu Beichen, and after several forced invitations, he dragged Xu Tianming to the vestibule.

Yan Zhiqiu was also a little surprised when he saw it, "Isn't this the young master of the Xu family? Why didn't I see you first, and I was brought over by Brother Murong." ”

Xu Tianming glanced at Chu Beichen, pointed to Yan Zhiqiu, and asked, "Who is this?"

"Yan Zhiqiu, the young master of the Mo family. ”

"Then he just called you Brother Murong, so who are you?"

Yan Zhiqiu replied: "The son of the King of Ease, Murong Li." ”

Xu Tianming suddenly realized, "It turns out that you are here to participate in my father's happy event, I said no wonder, why did Murong Li drag me here just now." ”

Yan Zhiqiu chuckled, put down the wine glass, picked up the tea on the side, took a sip and said, "Fei Ye, then the young master of the Xu family, do you know why the two of us are here?"
