Chapter 840 Going to the market, I am the master of my rivers and lakes

Today's Jinling City is much more lively than in the past. The streets are full of people, and the shop vendors are also full of people. The faces of pedestrians are filled with festive smiles.

Especially children, running and playing in groups, and their silver bell-like smiles infected the crowds coming and going.

Zhou Chen was walking on the street with Gong Yu on his arm. He was talented and beautiful, but he didn't attract too much attention, because there were not a few men and women like them, and they were all well-dressed. The men were handsome and the women were beautiful. beautiful.

This kind of situation is actually very rare within a year. After all, in this era, although the status of women is higher than that in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, under normal circumstances, women still seldom go out, especially when shopping with men. It is very few.

But today is New Year's Eve, and many women will choose to come out on this day, because the huge Jinling City will be particularly lively on this day, and there will be many performances, which is a rare grand sight in a year. Women, of course they want to come out and join in the fun.

"Today's Jinling City is really lively."

Gong Yu looked at the excitement on the street with a smile on her face. She had stayed in Jinling for several years, but this year was the happiest year. She was in a good mood and was happy to see everything.

"It's quite lively."

Although this kind of bustle is much worse than the urban world where Zhou Chen lives, but in this era, it is estimated to be the most lively and prosperous area.

"Hey, there are clay figurines over there, let's go, let's make clay figurines."

When he came to the small stall for making clay figurines, Zhou Chen asked the vendor to make clay figurines like him and Gong Yu.

The vendor's skill in making clay figurines was really good. They didn't make Zhou Chen wait long, and quickly made two lifelike clay figurines.

"Not bad."

Zhou Chen took it over and took a look, and was very satisfied. This craftsmanship is purely manual, without any machine addition. It can be made like this. This craftsmanship is definitely at its peak. No wonder he has the confidence to set up a stall in the capital.

After giving enough money, Zhou Chen took the clay figurine and left with Gong Yu, and then bought a bunch of candied haws for Gong Yu, and the two ate it separately.

I have to say that as the capital of Daliang, Jinling City is really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, especially during the festival, when all kinds of people come out.

All kinds of stalls and hawkers, selling food and drink, performing acrobatics, selling rouge jewelry, etc., etc., are too numerous to count.

After just strolling around two streets, Zhou Chen's hands were already full of things, and so was Gong Yu. In the end, he really had no choice but to return to Su Mansion ahead of time.

When they returned to the Su Mansion, the sky had already turned dark, and preparations for the New Year's Eve dinner had already begun, and Mei Changsu had even gathered everyone in the side hall.

More than a dozen people gathered in the side hall, and none of them were just sitting idle. Some were hanging things, some were cleaning, and some were playing mahjong.

That's right, on this New Year's Eve, it was rare for everyone to relax, and Mei Changsu naturally kept everyone's nerves tensed.

Mei Changsu didn't sit down to play cards, but played with Fei Liu. The players were Xia Dong, Li Gang, Lin Chen and Doctor Yan.

When Zhou Chen and Gong Yu came back, the mahjong players didn't even look at it, but Fei Liu ran over happily seeing so many good things in Zhou Chen's hands.

"Brother Chen."

Zhou Chen chuckled, and handed him all the delicious and fun things in his hand.

"Fei Liu is so good, I will bring it to you next time."

"Thank you." Fei Liu smiled openly, and ran away with his things in his arms.

Zhou Chen walked up to Mei Changsu and sat down, asking, "How do you feel?"

Mei Changsu asked in confusion, "What?"

"The atmosphere of the New Year, is it more festive to celebrate the New Year in Jinling City than in Langzhou?"

"The festive atmosphere and excitement in Jinling City is indeed far superior to that in Langzhou. I am really happy to be able to celebrate the New Year here this year."

Mei Changsu's expression was rare and at ease, which was rarely seen in Langzhou before.

Zhou Chen knew that the reason why Mei Changsu was in a good mood was because this was his home, and he had lived here for more than ten years, especially when he was in a situation where he didn't know how many days to live. emotions even worse.

What's more, Nie Feng and Xia Dong, whom he hasn't seen for more than ten years, will celebrate the New Year with him this time.

Everyone chatted and laughed, and soon it was time for dinner. Mei Changsu sat in the main seat, Lin Chen sat on the left, Nie Feng, Xia Dong and others sat behind, Zhou Chen and Gong Yu sat on the right, and Yan Yan was behind. Doctor, Li Gang and others.

Mei Changsu smiled and handed out red envelopes to Fei Liu and other disciples of the Jiangzuo League. Everyone in the hall was filled with smiles and were very happy.

The people who had eaten did not leave, they gathered together and waited for the New Year's Eve. At this time, keeping the New Year's Eve is a very grand event. Whether it is rich or poor, it is the happiest thing for the whole family to gather together to keep the New Year's Eve matter.

Zhou Chen and Gong Yu waited until the end of the New Year's Eve before leaving the Su Mansion. However, they did not return to the mansion immediately, but went around and came to a house.

Gong Yu stood on the fence with Zhou Chen, looking at the mansion ahead.

"Young master, don't you really want to go and see?"

Zhou Chen shook his head and said, "Forget it, the time has passed, just wait."

The reason why he didn't recognize his mother was that besides not being ready, there was another reason. He and Mei Changsu had too much to do. If he recognized his mother, he would not be able to hide it. will be more worried.

"Come on, let's go back."

Back in the mansion, Zhou Chen found that Steward Lu was still there, as were Sapphire and Ziyu. As for the others, they all left the mansion temporarily.

A new year, a new beginning, although it is early in the morning, there are still some things to do, and exercise when it is time to exercise...

After whispering for a long time, Zhou Chen fell asleep with Gong Yu in his arms.

On New Year's Eve last night, when the whole country was celebrating, a major event happened that shocked the palace.

In the food-giving team sent by Emperor Liang, a group of people were beheaded outside the palace wall, and an inner eunuch and a group of imperial troops were wiped out.

When Mei Changsu found Zhou Chen, Zhou Chen was playing chess with Gong Yu. When Gong Yu saw Mei Changsu approaching, he retreated first.

Mei Changsu didn't say any nonsense, and said directly: "Last night, one of the twelve teams that delivered food was assassinated outside the palace wall. I guess their purpose was to plan for Brother Meng's position as the commander of the imperial army, and some This motive is most likely Xie Yu."

Zhou Chen was very calm, he knew about this matter, it had happened in the plot, the reason why he didn't say it in advance was because he thought it would be useless to say it.

There are a total of twelve teams, and it is impossible for them to keep an eye on them all. The Jiangzuo League does not have so many masters in the capital.

What's more, Zhuo Dingfeng and others who made the move this time, among the people in Beijing, except him and Fei Liu, the others would not be opponents when they met Zhuo Dingfeng, and if they were scattered, it would be disadvantageous to them.

So he was not prepared to prevent this from happening, even if it happened, it would not do them much harm.

Anyway, they were already preparing to attack Xie Yu, so no matter whether Xie Yu succeeded this time, it didn't have much impact on them. The day of Xiao Jingrui's birthday was Xie Yu's end.

What's more, Emperor Liang was not really a fool, how could he easily make Xie Yu the commander of the imperial army.

"So you went to find King Yu, did you catch up?" Zhou Chen asked knowingly.

Mei Changsu sighed: "Did you guess it? It's true that there was no time. King Yu was still eager for quick success. Although something like this had something to do with Brother Meng, it was impossible for that His Majesty to remove him just for this matter." Brother Meng's position as the commander of the Imperial Army; King Yu is going to plead for Brother Meng at this time, and with that suspicious character of His Majesty, he will definitely think too much about it."

Zhou Chen said lightly: "Yu Wang is actually very smart. If he becomes emperor, he may not be much worse than the old man now; Good subordinates can be trusted, and the military, courtiers, and dignitaries all have support; in comparison, even if Qing Guogong, Minister of Officials and Minister of Punishment have not fallen, the power and reputation of the king are not as good as the old guy back then."

"What's more, he has lost the support of the military, the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Punishment. It's normal for him to get angry and lose his mind; of course, according to my estimation, under normal circumstances, King Yu should not be so stupid. It's very likely that Qin Banruo is the woman behind his back to tease him."

Mei Changsu nodded and said, "Your analysis is correct. Our plan is to cut off the prince and King Yu's minions. Now King Yu's situation is in our plan, but I didn't expect him to act so impulsively now. No matter what, Prince Yu's power cannot be overwhelmed by the Crown Prince at this time, only when the Crown Prince competes with Prince Yu can King Jing and us benefit."

"Our next target is Xie Yu, but it's not the time yet, so before that, we still need to help Yu Wang stabilize the situation, and use Yu Wang to completely get rid of Xie Yu."

"Then what are you going to do? Send someone to cut off Xie Yu's minions, the master of the rivers and lakes at Tianquan Villa?" Zhou Chen guessed what Mei Changsu was thinking.

Mei Changsu said: "I have this idea. Since they want to use the Jianghu method to achieve their goals, then I will let them know who is in charge of this Jianghu."

Zhou Chen gave a thumbs up and praised: "This sentence is domineering, and it completely reproduces the spirit of the young general Lin Shu back then."

Mei Changsu rolled his eyes: "That's what I came to talk to you about. By the way, Lin Chen also asked me to bring you a message, telling you to go and play with him. He's too boring by himself."

"Doesn't he really like playing with Fei Liu? Now that there is an extra Brother Nie, he shouldn't be bored."

"Fei Liu doesn't want to play with him at all. Besides accompanying Sister Dong, Big Brother Nie just reads and can't go out."

"Then you go back and tell him that if he wants to come, he can come. I will rest at home these days and not go anywhere."

"I'll take your words to him, and I'll go first."

"Well, although it's been a year, but the climate hasn't warmed up yet, you should go out less and pay attention to your body."

"I'll pay attention."

…………

After sending Mei Changsu away, Zhou Chen returned to his room, where Gong Yu had already poured hot tea for him.

Seeing that Zhou Chen was not in a high mood, she asked in a low voice, "My lord, what's the matter, is something wrong?"

Zhou Chen sighed: "Nothing serious happened, but Xiaoshu's health is getting worse and worse. If he continues like this, even if I use internal energy to heal him every day, it won't have much effect."

"Sovereign, is his body really that bad?"

"The fire-cold poison back then was too fierce. If I hadn't had a special physique, I would have been like him. In fact, I told him to speed up, but he was still too cautious. He wanted to do everything to the end. To pave the best road for Xiao Jingyan, even at the cost of his own body, I can't persuade him."

Zhou Chen knew the plot, and in fact, if he wanted to speed up, he could definitely do it, but Mei Changsu didn’t know the plot, and he wanted to keep the plan in his own hands, so sometimes he didn’t like Zhou Chen’s adventures and challenges. Gambling plans are not in favor.

Zhou Chen couldn't resist him, so he could only follow his will. If he acted privately and disrupted Mei Changsu's plan, he might irritate Mei Changsu instead.

After more than ten years of getting along, he really regarded Mei Changsu as his best friend, brother and relative, so now he feels very complicated.

He didn't want to provoke Mei Changsu, so he had to worry about Mei Changsu, but he was also worried about Mei Changsu's health, so he could only stay by his side to protect him.

At first, with the help of his internal strength, Mei Changsu's health would be much better than in the original book. According to his estimation, it should not be a big problem to live another five years, provided that he does not receive too much stimulation.

Gong Yu didn't know how to persuade him, so he could only say: "Perhaps the suzerain has his own considerations, son, don't worry too much."

"Yes, he is the most assertive, and there are not many people who can persuade him now."

Zhou Chen watched Mei Changsu's transformation all the way, from a genius boy back then to a cunning schemer now.

The mass murder incident did not spread completely, Emperor Liang finally called Xuanjing Division to investigate the case, and the persons in charge were Xia Chun and Xia Dong.

Xia Dong is now on Zhou Chen's side, so after taking the order, he immediately went to the Su Mansion carefully and told Mei Changsu about it.

Although Mei Changsu told her her guess, Xia Dong also strongly agreed, but after all, there was no real evidence, and after she knew that Mei Changsu had his own plan, she planned to cooperate with Mei Changsu and pretend to be with Xia Chun In the investigation, secretly began to collect information on Xie Yu.

Since Zhen Ping arrived in the capital, he has been in a latent state. After this incident, Mei Changsu finally decided to officially use him.

Over the years, under Zhou Chen's 'spurs', Zhen Ping has made rapid progress in martial arts, especially in swordsmanship, he is even more talented, almost catching up with Zhou Chen.

Compared to Langya's top ten masters list, he may not be close, but compared to those quack masters Zhuo Dingfeng recruited, that is a dimensionality reduction blow.

Jiang Zuomeng's intelligence capabilities quickly found out the identities and positions of Zhuo Dingfeng's masters, and then Zhen Ping went out to pick them all out.

Although this matter did not cause any disturbance in the court, it caused a huge disturbance in the rivers and lakes around Jinling.

And the most angry people were without a doubt Xie Yu and Zhuo Dingfeng.

Zhuo Dingfeng spent more than half a year in order to recruit these masters of the rivers and lakes. He was picked out in just a few days. Can you not be angry?

Both of them knew that it was Mei Changsu and Jiang Zuomeng who made the move, but there was nothing they could do. Their strength was inferior to others, and they couldn't use troops in the capital, so what else could they do?There is no way to retaliate at all, only to smash teeth and swallow blood.
