lady, please calm down

Chapter 301
The first day of March.

At dusk, Wailang Mo Shaohong, a member of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, stood respectfully in the gatehouse of the residence of the then Prime Minister Qian Yinian.

He came to thank you
Today, a decree suddenly came from the court that he should go to Caizhou to take over the post of Tongzhi.

From a sixth-grade Yuanwailang to a fifth-grade Tongzhi, he was directly promoted to the first grade or two. Although he was a Beijing official, it was considered a real promotion.

Mo Shaohong was hit by the official hat that fell from the sky, but he did not get carried away. After asking around for a whole day, he confirmed that the promotion was the work of Qian Yinian, the chief official of the Ministry of Personnel.

Although Mo Shaohong was from the Houdang clan, he was not considered a core member. Suddenly, he was reused by Qian Shangshu, which made him so happy that it was a bit unreal.

What's even more strange is that in the past, every time Qian Shangshu appointed his subordinates, the prime ministers headed by Li Bangyan would make trouble and argue, but this time there was no objection.

After careful consideration, Mo Shaohong guessed that the emperor was ill and had not been in court for many days. The prime minister's cooperation was probably to show his goodwill to the eldest prince who had just been granted the title of King of Lu.

These adults turn very quickly.

The third prince, who had been vaguely promoted by them to fight against King Lu, suddenly became deserted in front of the door.

While he was secretly thinking about the current situation, the steward of the Qian Mansion walked into the concierge and ushered Mo Shaohong in.

We walked all the way through the corridor and finally stopped outside the third hall.

"Master, Master Mo is here."

"Let him in."

With a majestic order, Mo Shaohong quickly arranged his clothes and then walked into the hall.

It was a little dark inside the hall. Mo Shaohong glanced hastily after saluting and quickly lowered his head.

But he found that there were three people sitting in the hall, not even Qian Shangshu sitting in the middle.
When I was confused, I suddenly heard the man sitting in the middle ask in a loud voice: "Are you Mo Shaohong?"

Hearing this sound, Mo Shaohong looked up in shock and saw that the man was about 27 or [-] years old, as strong as an ox. Although he was dressed as a scholar, his movements were full of the aura of a vigorous warrior.

Mo Shaohong's knees immediately weakened and he knelt on the ground, saying: "The humble minister Mo Shaohong pays homage to His Highness King Lu!"

Regardless of whether it is Zhou Qi, kneeling is generally not allowed.

This kneeling is more like expressing a certain attitude.

Daqi Lu King Liu Lin was quite satisfied with Mo Shaohong's performance. He couldn't help but smile and waved his hands and said: "Get up, Caizhou's position as Tongzhi is extremely urgent. You just happened to be here. We will tell you a few things that you need to keep in mind." !”

"Yes! King Lu just gives orders! I am truly lucky to be of service to King Lu! I am willing to go through fire and water for King Lu, and my heart and mind will be ruined!"

"Hahaha, okay! Wu Shangshu, you can talk first."

"Ahem, Mo Shaohong, when you arrive in Caizhou, remember to get closer to the prefect Sun Changhao. He is more familiar with the local area than you. You should discuss it more when any problems arise."

"Yes!"

Mo Shaohong hurriedly agreed. Qian Yinian, who was sitting on the other side, seemed to think that Wu Weiguang's words were too vague, so he said more straightforwardly, "Currently, Xia Zhizhong in Huaibei is still staying in Caizhou. After you take over as Tongzhi , the three of you need to work together to complete the search errand."

Qian Yinian paused and said with a hint: "Caizhou is rich."

Caizhou is rich and can earn more money!

Mo Shaohong quickly glanced at Qian Yinian and immediately understood what the latter meant, "I understand."

Wu Weiguang on the other side said immediately: "The situation in Caizhou is complicated. Lu Anhou's office is in the city. When you are on errands, you must be careful not to touch anything you shouldn't touch."

"Thank you, Mr. Wu, for reminding me."

Mo Shaohong hurriedly bowed and handed over his hands, but in his heart he felt that what Wu Weiguang said was nonsense.

When he learned that Caizhou was being released today, he naturally learned about the local situation urgently. Lu Anhou had an army of [-] people in Huaibei. Do I dare to touch his property because of my long life?

Mo Shaohong has already thought about it. To complete the tasks assigned by King Lu and the two adults, he can only start from small merchants with no foundation. At that time, he may need to divide Runlu Anhou part.

Only in this way can his position as a colleague be secure.

After explaining a few more things, Liu Lin, who had been silent for a long time, finally concluded: "Master Mo needs to be attentive to his duties when he arrives. I will write a handwritten letter to Marquis Lu An for your convenience. When you set off, Take it with you. The local warriors are inevitably a bit vulgar in their behavior. Master Mo should not easily make grudges with them. But "

Liu Lin suddenly changed the subject, "But if they deliberately make things difficult and target you and Magistrate Sun, don't be too weak. Your taking office this time not only represents the court, but also represents the king's face. Do you understand?"

"The subordinate understands!"

With King Lu's encouragement, Mo Shaohong suddenly became more courageous.

yes!I can now be regarded as one of King Lu's men. No matter how domineering the military leader is, he will always be given the face of the new emperor in the future, right?
Three days later, Mo Shaohong left Tokyo to take up his post in Caizhou.

King Lu specially sent a hundred royal troops to escort him.

This was King Lu's favor towards Mo Shaohong, and it was also a clear warning to the local military leaders that Mo Shaohong belonged to the king.

At the beginning of the year, the spring weather was just right, and Mo Shaohong, who was very proud of himself, left the city and headed south surrounded by his troops.
While he was going out, an unattractive clerk from Shihai Trading Company in Tokyo released several homing pigeons from the backyard.

March [-]th.

Officials at all levels of Caizhou Prefecture have learned that the court has appointed a new magistrate, who will take office in the next three or four days.

The new colleague arrived in Caizhou, and after Chen Jingyan completed the handover with him, it was the day when the latter left Caizhou.

In recent days, colleagues often came to inquire about information on the pretext of picking up and seeing off people. Chen Jingyan pretended to pack his bags while doing parting social interactions.

Sun Changhao and his wife suddenly became active.

Sun Changhao, who had not been seen in the government office for a long time, began to check in on time.

With Marquis Lu An around, officials at all levels naturally did not dare to actually send official documents to his duty room, but when they met by chance, the lower-level officials could not help but be much more polite.

The most annoying thing about the Wu family is that they have to take their precious nephew to the Xia Cuiyuan official residence every day.

Show off your power.

In order to keep things out of sight, Chen Jinyu got up every morning and ran to the newspaper office on Shuyuan Street without even bothering to eat.

However, this made my mother Tan suffer a lot.
Every day, I have to listen to Mrs. Wu talking about her five-level mansion in Tokyo and how her brother Wu Weiguang and Wu Shangshu love their nephew Wu Yifan.
In short, that means that even if your family goes to Tokyo City, they still need my family to take care of them.

Finally, I never forget the strange words of Chen Jinyu every time. Now that the queen has given her a golden sign of marriage, Wu blames Ayu even more confidently.

Mrs. Tan was so angry that she wanted to use her socks to block Mr. Wu's harsh mouth.

Chen Jingyan is equally uncomfortable. The fifth brother said that he would find a way to make him stay, but so far there has been no action!
This morning, Chen Jingyan couldn't bear it anymore and ran to Jieshuai Yamen. But Chen Chu said: "Third brother, don't panic. Anyway, you have to wait until the new colleague takes office before you can leave."

Don't panic?

Can you not panic?My new colleague is coming soon.

You can't just be shameless and stay away then, right?
That wouldn't be Daqi's joke.
If he continued to complain, Chen Chu would just laugh and say nothing.

Chen Jingyan could only choose to believe in Lao Wu, and even secretly hoped that there would be floods blocking the roads on the way to the new classmates.
That day, it was late afternoon.

In the study room of Jieshuai Yamen, Shi Xiaowu followed Mao Dan and walked in with a smile.

Chen Chu, who was so busy that he didn't bother to take a bite of food, raised his eyes and glanced at Shi Xiaowu and said, "Have you eaten? If you haven't eaten, come and eat together."

"Hehe, you're welcome then."

Shi Xiaowu pulled up a chair and sat across from Chen Chu around the temporary dining table.

"Maodan, get a pair of bowls and chopsticks for Captain Shi."

Chen Chu confessed, and after a while, Shi Xiaowu had something to eat with, and started cooking without saying a word.

He was so rude that Mao Dan on the side couldn't stand it and muttered: "Master, can you eat enough? Let the kitchen cook some more dishes?"

Chen Chu shook his head, but looked at Shi Xiaowu with a smile, "Is Wu Lang full?"

"Hehe, [-]% full, just right!"

Shi Xiaowu wiped his oily mouth and wiped his hands casually on his chest. Although he was wearing a neat military uniform, his chest was shiny.

It seems that this is not the first time that Shi Xiaowu has done this.

Chen Chu looked at it and shook his head, "You're such a dirty guy, I don't know how that young lady from Xinshengfangchang fell in love with a guy like you!"

"Hehe, the bastard looked at the mung bean, and his eyes met." Shi Xiaowu didn't feel ashamed, but was a little proud.

Chen Chu smiled and said: "Wu Lang is not young anymore. If it's suitable, get married as soon as possible. If you have a woman at home, you can take care of your careless temper."

"Hey, Lord Marquis, my mother has sent someone to her house to propose marriage."

"Oh? Do you have enough money to build a new house and add furniture? If it's not enough, I'll write you a note and ask someone to pay you some money in advance. How can I marry my mother-in-law first?"

"That's enough! The rewards we brothers got from capturing Li Kui alive were all kept at my mother's place. Some time ago, we made loans for the homes of soldiers from the four major banks. We brothers grew up together, and we don't want to separate the family. I passed. So we jointly bought a piece of land ten miles south of the city, and planned to build a big house with three front and three entrances, so that I can enjoy my life."

At the end of the sentence, Shi Xiaowu's lips widened unconsciously.

There is no concealment of pride in the fact that the brothers can allow my mother to enjoy her old age in peace.

"Haha, that's good." Every time he saw his brothers' lives getting better and better with him, Chen Chu would always feel a sense of joy mixed with pride.

"Hey, Lord Marquis, let's get down to business. From the Caobang brothers, the new comrade boarded the official ship on the fifth day of March at Caiguan, south of Tokyo, and headed south along the Cai River, via Tongxu and Jianxiong. He should arrive in Chenzhou tonight. .”

"Well, have you chosen a place to start?"

"A hundred miles further south from Chenzhou, at the intersection of Cai River and Ying River, the water flow is fast and there are many undercurrents. If you are not familiar with the water, you will be swept to the bottom of the river in an instant."

"Well, have you chosen the right person?"

"After we have picked them, they are all first-rate white stripes in the water of our Ningjiang Army, and they are also trustworthy brothers!"

"Okay, don't show off your skills."

"Master Hou, just wait and see! Hehe"

Three o'clock in the future.

Shi Xiaowu had left for a long time, and Chen Chu sat alone in the study, thinking about the next reactions and countermeasures from all parties.

Today's Caizhou is a place where workers, farmers, and merchants are working hand in hand. The prosperity and prosperity are almost like bright candles in a dark room, which cannot be hidden at all.

Such benefits will naturally attract others to covet them.

This transfer was not so much King Lu's move against Chen Jingyan as it was his move against Caizhou.

This is the way to cut flesh with a blunt knife. The new colleagues will definitely join forces with Sun Changhao to search for Caizhou's interests for their master.

At first, they might be more cautious, or the food would not look so ugly.

But as long as Chen Chu didn't react, the pressure would get harder and harder.

This is human nature.

Chen Chu's response was the same as before. If he dared to stretch out a finger, he would break off your fingers. If he dared to stretch out a hand, he would chop off your hand.

If Feng Changning was able to kill back then, so could the new colleague!

What the other party was thinking about now was a relatively mild competition within the rules, but Chen Chu had already made other plans.

Whoever dares to steal Caizhou's rice pot will overturn the table.

'Tuk-tuk~'

His thoughts were interrupted by a knock on the door, "What's wrong?"

"Master Marquis, there is a letter. It is from Zhuan Yun, Miss Chen's personal maid Zhuan Yun."

Mao Dan outside the door reminded me carefully.

"Oh, bring it in."

Mao Dan entered with the letter, and a few orchid plants were drawn on the wordless envelope.

However, the letter was folded into a paper crane using complicated techniques. The careful thinking of the female literary youth is revealed everywhere.

I opened the paper and saw that there was only one poem on it.
'The green hills are beside the city,

Clouds cover the sky for nine days.

When you look at the mountains, you can only see clouds.
Seeing Yun Sijun's face. '

Chen Chu, who was already familiar with Chen Jinyu's routine, immediately understood it, and it was another acrostic poem "Qingyun Guanjian".

"Can't you just write it clearly? It's always so tortuous." Chen Chu shook his head and said to himself.

Mao Dan, who was standing on tiptoe and secretly looking at the contents of the letter, said: "My boss, this is Chen Xiaoniang's thoughtfulness! My boss, please think about it, if this letter is accidentally intercepted by Chen Tongzhi, he won't be able to understand it, so nothing will happen!" "Mao Dan still has fresh memories of the scene last month when his boss and Chen Xiaoniang were almost trapped in the room by Chen Tongzhi, caught and raped in bed.

Therefore, he felt that Chen Xiaoniang was right to be so cautious!

Chen Chu curled his lips and said, "Do you think Chen Tongzhi is the same as you? He can understand this childish thing at a glance!"

"Hehe, in any case, my boss is careful." Mao Dan forcibly redeemed himself.

Chen Chu pondered for a moment, then suddenly said: "Maodan, I haven't asked you anything during this time, right?"

"No! Don't worry, boss, even if someone asks me, I won't say a word!"

Mao Dan hurriedly expressed his loyalty, but Chen Chu felt a little uncomfortable and said shamelessly: "You are young and don't understand yet. I am doing all this for great things!"

"Ah? I understand, I understand! My boss is all for big things, for the millions of people in Huaibei, and for the common people in the world!"

Mao Dan's facial features were distorted, and it was obvious that such words against his will made him feel painful.

"Ahem, let Da Bao Jian prepare a carriage and I'll go out of the city."

"Ah."

Shaoqing and Chen Chu took a carriage, turned into the street from the corner gate of Jieshuai Yamen, and left the city.

It has been more than ten days since I went to the study with Chen Jinyu last month to find out.

During this period, the two also secretly had a private meeting, but Chen Jingyan's sudden visit for the first time left a deep shadow on Chen Jinyu, and she even said that she would never go to the study again.

There were too many people in the city and there was nowhere to go, so Chen Chu found an unused courtyard in Qingyun outside the city as a place for the two of them to communicate.

As the old saying goes, a wife is worse than a concubine, and a concubine is worse than a thief. Not to mention, it’s really exciting.

Such despicable humanity!

At the end of the day, the carriage stopped at the back door of Qingyun Temple.

Chen Chu stepped forward and knocked on the wooden door.

'squeak~'

After the door hinge clicked, Zhuan Yun looked around like an underground gangster before letting Chen Chu into the small courtyard.

Then he closed the door, bolted it, and moved a small pawn to guard the door.

There was only one main room in the courtyard. Chen Chu continued to approach and opened the ajar door.
The sun shines all over the house, making the room full of brightness.

Chen Jinyu pretended to be sitting in front of the desk, holding a scroll in his hand.
But the hand holding the book had begun to tremble slightly, and a thick blush appeared on his face.

Chen Chu stepped forward and picked him up. Chen Jinyu could no longer pretend, so she immediately abandoned the book and wrapped her arms around the back of Chen Chu's neck like a snake.

Passionate about adultery.

However, when Chen Chu was undressing Chen Jinyu, the latter grabbed his hand and said, "What if someone comes?"

"How can there be so many people here?"

"I am afraid."

"Then what?"

"Can you please stop taking off your clothes?"

"Why don't you take off your clothes?"

"I"

With a bright red complexion from the roots of her ears to her neck, Chen Jinyu lowered her head like a cooked prawn, and then whispered something into Chen Chu's ear like a mosquito.

"Oh! I'm only wearing leggings underneath!"

".Do you have to repeat it again?"

Shanyi, trousers worn under the skirt, tied at the knees, only covering the two calves.

In fact, knee-high socks are more appropriate to describe them.

If you are only wearing a shin coat underneath, there is really no need to take off your clothes.
In this way, if there is an emergency, there is a chance that you can cover it up by adjusting your clothes.

Ayu, you are really smart!

Even for trysts, new and safer tricks can be devised.

gossip less
Application time.

The sun is gradually moving towards the west.

Chen Jinyu simply arranged her clothes and looked at the sky. Knowing that this rare happy time was coming to an end, she stretched out her fingers and poked Chen Chu's waist.

"What's wrong?" Chen Chu, who was clearing his mind during the sage's time, asked.

"What are we going to do?"

After completely breaking the relationship, Chen Jinyu felt much more confident when talking about that troublesome matter.

Now, she has enough reasons to ask Chen Chu to control her
"I told you to tell your father directly, but you refused."

"I'm just talking nonsense! If you don't mention that stupid queen's marriage proposal, my father will beat me to death if he finds out! If word spreads, how can Ayu behave?"

Chen Jinyu's previous words were still full of momentum, but the momentum of the last sentence, 'How can Ayu be a human being?' was obviously weaker.

Also, what she has done now can probably be regarded as the most outrageous thing in the Chen family's past century.

After a brief period of happiness, he felt deeply guilty towards his parents.

As if to prove his innocence, Chen Jinyu suddenly fell into a low mood and said in a low voice: "That day, Ayu passed out and took advantage of others' danger."

What about today?

Chen Chu wanted to laugh, but saw Chen Jinyu's eyes turning red again, so he swallowed it back.

No matter how crazy the love is when it reaches the depths, there will always be some differences in how men and women feel about such things afterwards.

Not to mention in Qi State, even in the later generations of openness, public opinion generally believed that girls suffered more.

Chen Chu tightened his arm around Chen Jinyu's waist and said comfortingly: "Don't worry, if your father gets angry, I will take care of it. In short, I won't let him punish you too severely."

"Then you can't contradict daddy! Although he is usually strict, he loves Ayu very much."

"Do you really think of me as such a reckless person? How could I contradict him? Once he understands the matter, I will find a way to solve your problem."

"But, daddy is going to Tokyo soon." Chen Jinyu, who suddenly became sentimental these days, said melancholy.

"Maybe he can't go."

"How could it be? You cannot disobey the imperial edict."

"No one said anything about resisting the decree. Ruona, the new colleague who succeeded your father, has been unable to take office, and your father has no way to leave!"

"Uh, you mean."

Chen Jinyu heard some clues, and his eyes widened suddenly, staring directly at Chen Chu, wanting to get the exact answer from him.

"I did not say anything."

Chen Chu smiled.

At the beginning of Youshi.

Caizhou Yaqian Street.

Cai Huabu, who came to discuss something with his father today, walked out of the Yamen and passed by Jieshuai Yamen, and turned in on an impromptu decision.

But in the courtyard of Chen Chu's duty room, he saw Mao Dan combing Xiao Hong's mane.

Cai Hua entered, patted Xiao Hong, who had finally entered the prime of life, and praised, "What a good boy."

Xiaohong also recognized that the person in front of her was her mother-in-law, and she rubbed her head affectionately in Caihua's hand, making Caihua's flowers tremble.

Mao Dan, who was already standing aside, held the wooden bucket and pretended to be calm: "Sanniang, the Marquis is not in the Yamen!"

"Oh."

At first, Cai Hua didn't think of going anywhere else. After all, Chen Chu was busy with his affairs and often went out. It was normal for him to be away from the Yamen.

So while helping Xiaohong smooth her hair, she asked casually, "Why didn't you go out with your master today?"

"My Lord has brought a big sword!"

Mao Dan hurriedly said, this time, Cai Hua's attention was attracted. Normally, Chen Chu would take Mao Dan and White-haired Rat with him when he was walking around. Only when he was in danger would he bring a big sword with him.

"He only brought a big sword?" Cai Hua frowned.

Her expression made Mao Dan nervous, "Yes, yes."

"Why don't you ride a horse?"

"The Marquis took a carriage."

"Carriage?" Cai Hua was even more surprised that Chen Chu was reluctant to ride in a carriage.

But there is one characteristic of carriages, that is, they are secretive. You don’t have to worry about being seen.

He only brought one person with him, and he kept his head hidden!
Cai Hua noticed something unusual, turned around and stared at Mao Dan who was obviously uncomfortable, and suddenly asked casually, "Are they not going home tonight?"

"Go home! Master Hou will definitely come back!"

Mao Dan was very sure. After all, if Mr. Hou dared not to go home, Chen Xiaoniang would definitely return to the city.

I was afraid of being seen, but I couldn't go far.

Why does it look like you are stealing?
Cai Hua remained calm, smiled at Mao Dan, and said, "When Mr. Hou comes back, don't tell him that I've been here. Okay, I'll go back first."

"Yes!"

Mao Dan agreed and couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.

But he said in his heart: When the Marquis comes back later, I need to inform you immediately that the Third Lady has been here!
Out of Jieshuai Yamen.

Cai Hua and Ru'er took the car and walked home.

On the way, Cai Hua, who was looking out the window in deep contemplation, suddenly asked, "Ru'er, what are some quiet places near Caizhou?"

"Ah?" Ru'er was stunned for a moment before saying, "There are so many quiet places. Qinglian Temple, Qingyun Temple, etc."

"Oh." Cai Hua responded.

Ru'er took a careful look at her and reminded her kindly: "Sanniang, why didn't you let Mao Dan tell Mr. Marquis that you were here just now? With Mao Dan's temperament, he would definitely tell Mr. Hou. Sanniang, if you talk too much, On the contrary, it looks like I have something to hide from the Marquis."

Cai Hua narrowed her fox eyes and smiled, but was too lazy to explain Ru'er's confusion.

She did it on purpose.

When Chen Chu came back, Mao Dan said, "Sanniang is here and you won't let me tell the Marquis!" '

You can test whether your man is guilty or not.

If he didn't feel guilty, he would go home to eat and sleep as usual.

If he has a guilty conscience, he may reveal his flaws, such as changing clothes and taking a shower as soon as possible after returning home.

This is called scaring the snake!

Ru'er knows nothing!

Cai Hua was suddenly full of fighting spirit. She wanted to see whose little vixen dared to seduce her man under her nose.

"Hee hee~"

"Sister-in-law, why are you smiling so much! You're laughing so hard that my hair is standing on end!"

"It's been boring lately, but I finally encountered something interesting!"

　A big chapter with more than 6000 words can barely be counted as a double update, right?
