Chapter 205
The seventh day of February.

Unity time.

In the Jiang'e Pavilion of the Qingning Palace in the imperial city, Emperor Liu Yu of the Great Qi Dynasty sat on a low couch in casual clothes and robes, looking at the gift list in his hand.

"Your Majesty, all the items listed in the gift list have been counted and handed over to the inner storehouse. If the Emperor..."

Before Cao Xiaojian finished speaking, Liu Yu waved his hands from bottom to top. The former understood, bowed and stepped back out of Jiang'e Pavilion.

Liu Yu just flung the gift slip on the case, with an incomprehensible expression on his face.

lean less.

The owner of the Qingning Palace, Xiang Guifei, walked lightly into the pavilion with lotus steps, turned his eyes away from the maids on the left and right, stepped forward and took the gift list and looked at it.

Concubine Xiang is thirty-seven years old. Although she has passed the most beautiful age of a woman, her plump figure and a well-maintained charming face are still Liu Yu's favorite.

On the gift list, besides the gold and pearl porcelain, there are actually lip soap for women, as well as melon sauce and vermicelli.
Seeing the end, the lady gave a 'puchi' laugh, "You Lang, where did you find such an idiot?"

Liu Yu, who was not confused in the past, looked at Concubine Xiang who was smiling and bent over like a little girl, and couldn't help laughing, and raised his hand at the same time.

Covering his mouth and laughing nonstop, he stretched out his other hand to the imperial concubine, took Liu Yu's hand, and sat down beside him, but said: "Since your majesty ascended the throne, I only heard that the officials below came to Beijing to ask you ministers It’s the first time I’ve heard of sending gifts to the emperor’s head.”

"You think he didn't send it?"

The smile on Liu Yu's face suddenly faded, "He entered the city yesterday, and today he couldn't wait to go to the mansion of Fan Gongzhi from the Ministry of War, Wu Weiguang from the Ministry of Punishment, and Qian Yinian from the Ministry of Officials. The chief officer pays a visit!"

Concubine Xiang was slightly astonished, then laughed again, and collapsed into Liu Yu's arms, "Your Majesty, this." Concubine Xiang didn't seem to remember the name of the person who gave the gift, she sat up straight and glanced at the signature on the gift list, Cai Dao: "The left-behind governor of Caizhou controls Chen Chu. Could it be that he is really an idiot?"

It's not that local officials can't give gifts after they come to Beijing, but it's really rare for Chen Chu to visit three families in one day and send gifts directly.

But that's not even the most embarrassing thing.
During Ding Wei's disaster, the Jin people went south and besieged Jinan. Liu Yu, the prefect of Jinan in the Zhou Dynasty at that time, and his wife Qian's natal family were a local rich family.

During the siege, the Qian family secretly contacted the squires in the city, half forcing and half luring Liu Yu to lure the guard of Jinan to his home and kill him, and then opened the city and surrendered gold.

At that time, in order to reduce the resistance of the Han people in the Central Plains, the Jin people set up Liu Yu as a benchmark, promoted him step by step, and finally helped him onto the Dragon Chair of Daqi.

At that time, the Qian family who helped him to lower the gold also grew step by step in the process, and the rear party headed by Qian Yinian, the elder brother of the Qian family, became a major force in the court.

On the other hand, after the founding of Daqi, Jin Guo appointed nearly half of the senior officials headed by Prime Minister Li Bangyan.

When the Jin people were still stranded in the Central Plains, the two parties compared their efforts to please the Jin country.

Today, the queen party proposes to donate 30 gold, and tomorrow the prime minister will offer [-] beauties.

Today the posthumous party proposes that Qi be the younger brother of Jin, and tomorrow the prime minister will change Qi to be the nephew of Jin
Just highlight a roll.

Daqi's version of 'Japanese and Korean Competing Dads'!
Until the third year of Fuchang, the Central Plains was slightly settled, and the Jin people returned to the north.

The struggle between the prime minister and the latter party has gradually changed from the dark to the bright.

Nowadays, it can't be said that the appearance is in harmony with the spirit, at least it is considered incompatible.

Qian Yinian is the leader of the Hou Party, and Fan Gongzhi is the top cadre of the Xiang Party
But on the second day Chen Chu entered Beijing, he ran to the two people's houses one after another in a 'reckless' manner. What is this for?
Do you understand politics?Do you understand the situation?
Is it possible that you are in control of a small city and still want to be on two boats?
Thinking of this, Concubine Xiang couldn't help laughing and said: "I think Mr. Chen will be shut down."

"Hehe." Liu Yu gave a faint laugh, "The humerus of mine has big breasts. This Chen Dutong not only entered the door, but also met with Qian and Fan successively."

"Why is that?" Concubine Xiang asked in surprise.

"Why? It's because this person has no foundation"

Chen Chu is like a headless fly, which fits the stereotype of a young man who is reckless, and a warrior who doesn't know etiquette and politics.

But at the same time, it also shows that this son is eager to find a backer in the court.

It's just short of shouting 'Which big guy will accept me as a younger brother' on the streets of Tokyo.

Stupid and want to drill camp, this kind of army leader can charge into the battle in battle, and can be a scapegoat and a scapegoat in spare time. It is a must-have cannon fodder for home travel!
Who doesn't want to be pulled into their own camp?
Even if he is not a big official right now, he can't be pushed into the opponent's camp.

Concubine Xiang probably understood, and after thinking for a while, she said: "Your Majesty, this Chen Dutong was willing to ask for a seal for his wife despite being impolite, so he must be a very affectionate person."

Then he picked up the gift list, glanced at it and couldn't help laughing again, "This melon sauce is more like giving to relatives to taste early when ordinary people visit relatives, but it is also a sincere person.

Your Majesty, speaking of him having no foundation and wanting to find a backer, is there a bigger backer than me, You Lang, in the whole world?"

Hearing this, Liu Yu sighed, and took Concubine Xiang's hand.

Nowadays, all the princes in the court are used to flattering the golden man, and how many people really regard him as the master of Daqi.

The two fell silent for a moment, but they heard a maid outside the pavilion say: "Your Majesty."

"What's the matter?" Liu Yu replied through the door.

"The empress invites the emperor to Baoci Palace."

The maid said carefully, Liu Yu frowned imperceptibly.

The queen can't come because she has something to do, but she calls the emperor of Daqi around!
Concubine Xiang watched her words and expressions, and couldn't help but reply in a deep voice for Liu Yu: "Just say that the emperor is tired today and has rested."

Concubine Xiang hadn't finished speaking, but she heard another majestic and majestic female voice from outside the pavilion, "Your Majesty, Concubine, Your Majesty has something important to discuss with the Emperor, so don't delay!"

"." Xiang Guifei immediately recognized that this was the queen's personal servant, so she couldn't help but shut up.

Liu Yu's face twitched slightly, then he stood up and said calmly: "I know, let's pass."

lean less.

The night is fading.

The Jiang'e Pavilion in Qingning Palace returned to tranquility, and Xiang Guifei sat alone in the same place, until the maid came in to light the lamp, and then she woke up, "Go to Honghu Pavilion, and invite the third prince to come."

At the end of Youshi.

Chen Chu, who had been traveling for a day, returned to Nongyu Lane.

Knowing that Chen Jing'an went out to visit friends and hadn't returned yet, he sat alone at the dining table and ate dinner without taste.

What we did today was naturally what we discussed last night.

It's up for grabs, but also for pure realism.

It's just that after a day, Chen Chu was very tired, even more tired than being a slave at home.

back house.

Chen Jinyu, who spent a day in Tokyo with her mother, aunt, and Tie Dan, also just came back not long ago.

The house in Nongyu Lane is not big. Hearing the commotion from the front, Chen Jinyu pushed open the window on the second floor, just in time to see Chen Chu striding into the second dining room.

Chen Jinyu bit her lower lip and thought for a while, then took a change of clothes, hung them on her arms, and walked out of the bedroom.

In the small hall outside, Mrs. Tan and her younger siblings Mrs. Cheng were sitting in front of the candlelight, embroidering a pattern of mandarin ducks playing in the water on a pink bellyband.

If nothing else, the daughter will get married in the second half of this year.

Naturally, there is no shortage of embroiderers in her family, but Tan still wants to make the intimate clothing for her daughter in the dowry.

Seeing that Chen Jinyu was going downstairs with her clothes, she couldn't help asking, "Ayu, where are you going?"

"Mother, Ah Yu goes downstairs to take a bath," Chen Jinyu said very naturally.

"Oh." Mrs. Tan responded, but instead of letting her daughter go immediately, she stepped forward and gestured to Chen Jinyu with the apron in her hand.

Looking at her daughter's gradually bumpy figure, Tan suddenly said sadly: "Mother's little girl has grown up in the blink of an eye, and I don't think I have reached the age to marry."

Hearing this, Mrs. Cheng put down her needle and thread, and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, Ayu is married, and she is also the daughter of our Chen family. Besides, the Wu family is only seven or eight miles away from our old house, and Ayu often goes to her mother's house. After running a few times, are you afraid that your mother and daughter won't see you?"

"makes sense."

Mrs. Tan smiled at Mrs. Cheng, but when she turned her head she saw tears in her daughter's eyes, she couldn't help laughing and said: "Mother just sighed casually, why did you call Ayu crying?"

Chen Jinyu lowered her head and murmured: "Mother, Ayu is ignorant and made her angry. From now on, Ayu will definitely respect you well."

"Hahaha, silly girl. You are the meat that fell out of my mother's stomach. How could my mother be really angry with you. Go and wash yourself."

"Ah."

Chen Jinyu replied in a low voice, but solemnly bowed to her mother.

"Sister-in-law, Ayu has really grown up."

After Chen Jinyu went downstairs, Cheng said with a smile.

"It's good to be sensible. Last year, she went to Caizhou to find Chen Dutong. She really scared me. Now it seems that she has figured it out," Tan said gratified.

downstairs.

Chen Jinyu leaned against the door frame of the bathroom with her clothes in her arms, hesitating whether to follow Chen Chu's idea just now.

She knew that if this went on like this, sooner or later, her parents, who valued face very much, would be furious.

But since the private meeting with Chen Chu years ago, Chen Jinyu had already made a decision in her heart, and even secretly wrote a letter, the content of which was to tell her brother Wu, who was engaged to her marriage, that she "already wants to belong".

The reason why this letter was not sent out was because of Chen Chu's attitude.
Although my uncle helped her stay in Caizhou during the Chinese New Year, and brought her to Beijing after communicating in advance this time, he hasn't said a single word to reassure Chen Jinyu so far.

Under such circumstances, how dare she put all her eggs in one basket.

She was already guilty of her parents, and her heart was full of anxiety about the uncertainty of the future. The more Chen Jinyu thought about it, the more wronged she became, and she couldn't help standing where she was and crying softly.

I didn't want to, but it alarmed Tie Dan who lived downstairs.

Tie Dan doesn't know how to comfort others, so he just asked in a low voice, "Ms. Chen, is someone bullying you?"

Chen Jinyu, who was in tears, nodded subconsciously, but when Tie Dan asked, "Who is it?" ' After that, he shook his head again, "No, it's the sand that blinds the eyes."

At the beginning of the Xu Dynasty.

Chen Chu was sitting in the dining room drinking tea and reading the newspaper when there was a light knock on the door.

"Enter."

'squeak~'

After the door opened, a small head with an unmarried snail bun first appeared in the crack of the door. There was a bit of a smile on her beautiful face. Maybe she saw the food on the table that was not moving much. Chen Jinyu grabbed the door frame and said: " Uncle, is the food not to your appetite?"

"So it's Ayu." Chen Chu smiled and put down the newspaper in his hand.

Chen Jinyu walked into the dining room with small steps, and said with a grin, "Uncle has been in the capital for two days, and you haven't eaten any snacks in the city yet?"

Today, Chen Jinyu wore a goose-yellow cloud-mist spring shirt embroidered with elegant orchids, and a double-disc cloud-pattern thousand-water skirt, which not only showed the radiance of a girl, but also a youthful and charming look.

Only a pair of eyes are slightly red.

Chen Chu couldn't help asking: "What's wrong? Did your mother scold you?"

"Uncle, do you want to go to Zhouqiao Night Market to eat snacks?" Chen Jinyu turned a deaf ear to Chen Chu's question, and tilted her head to count, "There are Duan's family's northern food and Zhou's southern food. Zheng's pancakes, Shi's gourd Soup, Wang Daoren candied fruit, Lujia steamed stuffed bun. There are also roe ba, stewed duck, kidney kidney, eel, spicy ginger, and fried lamb.”

"Stop talking, it made my saliva come out."

"Hey, then Ayu took uncle to eat."

"it is good."

"But let's say it first, Ayu didn't bring any money, uncle needs me"

"Good to say."

The two walked out of the dining room one after the other.

Outside, the eldest son and Mao Dan were sitting in the courtyard bragging and farting. Seeing that Chen Chu wanted to go out again, they hurriedly called the accompanying soldiers and prepared to accompany them.

Chen Jinyu, who was half a step behind Chen Chu, said in a low voice, "Uncle, can you stop bringing anyone with you, we won't go far, we will go back as soon as we go."

Chen Chu looked back at Chen Jinyu, then smiled, and said to the eldest son and others, "You don't need to follow."

After finishing speaking, he winked at the big sword that was feeding the horses in the stable.

The big sword nodded far away.

Tokyo City is not Caizhou, if you don't bring people with you, if you encounter troubles, Chen Dutong will have to do it yourself.

In Chen Jinyu's heart, his uncle may be an enemy of thousands of people with both civil and military skills, but Chen Chu himself knows that he is indifferent.
After a while.

Chen Chu and Chen Jinyu walked out of Nongyu Alley, the big sword fell far behind them, Chen Jinyu didn't notice it.

Go east along Zaoyuan Street for about a mile, turn south, and you will see a place with bright lights and bustling voices in the distance.

In front of it is the Zhouqiao Night Market.

In the capital city under the night, wax lanterns are lit up, and the flames are shining brightly, illuminating the night sky.

Every household, thousands of gates are picturesque, looking like Qiongyu, magnificent and extraordinary.

Chen Chu and Chen Jinyu walked into it with the flow of people, and were quickly overwhelmed by crowds of pedestrians and hawkers shouting along the street.

Seeing Chen Chu looking around in novelty, Chen Jinyu, who followed closely beside him, said complacently, "Uncle, how does this place compare to Tongshan?"

There was noise all around, Chen Jinyu stood on tiptoe when speaking, keeping a distance between her cherry lips and Chen Chu's ears that was not impolite but slightly ambiguous.

"We in Tongshan are naturally inferior." Chen Chu replied with a sideways smile.

"Hey, Uncle, I want to eat that"

Chen Jinyu pointed to a peddler by the side of the road, and took the lead to take two steps there.

The street was crowded with pedestrians, so the distance between the two of them was instantly occupied by pedestrians. Chen Jinyu hurriedly stood still, as if afraid of being scattered and lost. After Chen Chu approached again, under the cover of pedestrians, He reached out and took Chen Chu's hand.

"Uncle is not familiar with Tokyo City, so don't dare to get lost, be careful to be kidnapped by Huazi, hehe"

Chen Jinyu dragged Chen Chu through the crowds, joking in a relaxed manner, but her face was flushed against the lights.

Chen Chu smiled, followed Chen Jinyu's pace, turned his big hand, from being held to holding the latter's soft hand.

"."

Chen Jinyu, who was pushing forward, was a little flustered, but pretended not to notice, and walked forward with her head buried.

Until I passed the hawker she mentioned, I couldn't stop.

Chen Chu is a dedicated person, he can like pretty girls.

But compared to the three members of his family whose feelings are natural, he still doesn't have much deep feelings for Chen Jinyu.

It's just that now, he sometimes has some utilitarian considerations
For example, when thinking about Chen Jinyu, it was impossible for Chen Chu not to think about how many shortcomings he could make up for with the help of the entire Yingchuan Chen family.

This unspeakable utilitarian mind made Xiao Chen, who had once determined to become a pure love fighter, feel a little guilty.

In Bianliang City, there is an endless stream of fragrant cars, Luopa, and dark dust.
The two walked through it hand in hand, like a pair of little lovers who sneaked out of the house to hang out.

Until the middle of the day.

Chen Jinyu knew that if she didn't go back, her mother might be furious, so she started to turn back to Nongyu Lane.

On the way back, the closer he was to his residence, the less Chen Jinyu said.

When he reached the alley, Chen Jinyu quietly let go of his hand, but when he wanted to withdraw it, he found that Chen Chu was still holding it tightly.

"Uncle, we're almost home." Chen Jinyu reminded in a low voice.

"Well, I'm afraid I'll get lost and be kidnapped by Huazi."

"Hey, Uncle is a hero in the world, why would he be afraid of patting Hanako?"

Chen Jinyu couldn't help laughing, sweet dimples emerged quietly, first looked carefully at the person who was holding on to her, and then turned to look at the bright lights of the city.

In the spring breeze, Chen Jinyu sighed faintly, her smile dissolved little by little in the melting night, and changed into a lonely and unhappy look, and said in a tone of resentment and resentment: "Of course, uncle will not leave. But, if Ayu Lost, uncle will look for Ayu like the night in Tongshan last time?"
