Twin Brocade

Chapter 75
Chu Mo's mother was the second daughter of the Lu family who married into the capital after Lu Yiqin.

His father is a provincial counselor under his family. His official rank is only fourth rank but his position is very important. He is an investment that the Lu family values ​​very much.

Chu Mo is not like Qiao Shijie's brother and sister, he has inherited his mother's beautiful face and his father's refined demeanor, handsome but not feminine.Even Fang Jinshu had heard of him as the most beautiful man in the capital in his previous life.Now it seems that it deserves its name.

Fang Jinshu lowered his eyes in thought, his expression calm.

With Qiao Tongxuan's introduction, Chu Mo became much more at ease, with a smile that made all the girls blush and heartbeat, and said: "Today I came suddenly, and I will punish myself with three cups to apologize to all the sisters."

After beating him in, Qiao Shijie has been leaning on the railing to watch the play.

Only then did he walk over holding the pot.Asked the servants to bring a tea bowl with crabapple twigs, filled a cup full, brought it to Chu Mo with a smile, and said, "A man, it's hard to chase after a word, three cups!"

He'd better make a fuss, Chu Mo smiled helplessly, took the tea bowl and drank it slowly.The chrysanthemum wine is fragrant, cool and sweet, and it goes into the throat smoothly, leaving a fragrance on the lips and teeth.

It's just that this tea bowl is really big, after drinking a cup, a charming blush like a rosy glow floated on Chu Mo's face.

All the girls in the open hall learned to be shy without a teacher at this time, and they all turned away, not daring to look at him again.

After Chu Mo finished drinking the bowl, he raised his head and saw that all the girls turned their faces sideways. He touched his hot cheeks and knew the reason in his heart.Since childhood, such scenes were not uncommon for him.

But there was a woman among them, her face was peaceful as usual, and she was not moved by him.

Out of curiosity, Chu Mo couldn't help but look at her a few more times, put down the tea bowl in his hand, and said with a smile, "Shijie, let me drink the rest slowly."

The volume of this tea bowl is more than three times that of that wine glass.

Qiao Shijie accepted it when he saw it, and said: "Okay, I'll let you go this time." Holding his shoulders, he walked inside and introduced Fang Ziquan to him.

Both of them are handsome and poetic young men, they met for the first time and after a few words, they hit it off right away.

"I only regret that I didn't get to know Brother Fang Xian earlier." Chu Mo dried the tea bowl in his hand and said with a smile: "I see that today is a daughter's feast, why is Brother Fang here?"

Fang Ziquan moved in the direction of Fang Jinhui and the others, nodded his chin slightly, and said, "I'm here with my younger sisters."

Qiao Shijie joined in the fun, pointing Fang Jinhui, Fang Jinshu, and Fang Jinyi to him from a distance, and joked: "The Fang family has many younger sisters, Ziquan is worried."

Chu Mo realized in his heart that the woman just now was Fang Ziquan's second sister.Her face is not the most eye-catching, but this quiet temperament makes her stand out among the girls.

Beside him, there was never a shortage of beautiful women.

He believes that his daughter's home is as clean as water.Even if every girl is not outstanding in appearance, she must have her beauty, which deserves to be cherished and appreciated.

At home, he would not say a word of seriousness to the maids who served him, and he loved and cherished flowers very much.The maids of the Chu family knew his temperament, and would ask him for anything, and they often got what they wanted.

At this moment, in this open hall, there are more than ten girls and maidservants together, they can really be called the land of Chunlanqiuju.

For Chu Mo who loves to use flowers to describe his daughter's family, Fang Jinshu stood out among all the daughters like a noble white plum, which attracted him to take a few extra glances.

Fang Ziquan put down the wine glass in his hand, and said: "Brother Chu, today is a beautiful day, we will not return if we are not drunk." He dared to peek at his sister, he must be drunk!
As the elder brother, the girl is admired by others, and her heart is full of pride and a sense of crisis.

Fang Jinshu is still young, far from the time to think about men and women.He had just gone through a catastrophe, so he must protect his sister so that no one could spy on her.

Chu Mo looked away, and Fang Ziquan's actions became clear.He just appreciates this unique beauty, and really has no other meaning.But this kind of misunderstanding often becomes darker and darker, it is better to prove it with actions.

Immediately, he also raised his wine glass, and the two drank together.

The young men and women of the Qiao family gathered together, and a guest was also welcomed at the Mansion of the Minister of Rites.

"Prince Duan, you have come here, and the humble house is full of brilliance." Wu Shangshu greeted him at the door of the study with a smile: "Why didn't you send someone in advance to say something in advance, and I opened the middle door to welcome you."

Prince Duan is the younger brother of the late emperor, about forty years old, tall and fat like the late emperor.The heaven is full, with a mustache, and there is a majesty in walking.

The time of his birth has already been determined.He has never experienced the troubled times of changing dynasties, and he has nothing to do with the cruel fight for heir apparent.

The first emperor loved this younger brother a lot, and appointed him as Minister of Zongzheng Temple, in charge of the emperor's family tree and relatives, and had great power in his hands.He is also very self-aware, he only cares about his duties and protects himself wisely.

However, the clan and civil servants seldom interact with each other, so there must be something for him to visit in disguise at this time.

Wu Shangshu calmly went through the recent events in his mind, but he didn't have a clue, so he had to welcome the person in first before talking about it.

"Master Shangshu, you are too polite." Prince Duan smiled kindly, and the two entered the room to divide the guests and hosts into seats.

The servants served the top quality Lu'an melon slices. Prince Duan took a sip and praised: "As expected of Wu Shangshu, this tea is fragrant and has an endless aftertaste. It is the top quality Lu'an melon slices."

Wu Shangshu said with a smile: "I don't even get a few taels in total. This was rewarded by the sage last time, and I have been reluctant to drink it. If the prince hadn't come, I would still be reluctant to take it out."

In a word, it not only captured Prince Duan comfortably, but also pointed out his status in front of the emperor. He is worthy of being a fine official.

Prince Duan laughed, and said: "Ming people don't talk dark words, I am here this time, and I have something to ask."

The main event is coming!
Wu Shangshu cheered up and tried his best to respond to the prince's request.

"This matter, because there is no precedent to follow, I have drawn up a few statements here, but I am still not satisfied." Prince Duan said slowly: "That's why I asked you to refer to it."

"Please tell me, my lord, if I can help you, I will definitely do my best."

Prince Duan had expected that Wu Shangshu seemed to be full of promises, but actually left a way out.Fortunately, his purpose is really just to use Wu Shangshu's experience in managing the Ministry of Rites as a reference.

"Fang Shilang's granddaughter visited the palace a few days ago." Prince Duan said, "You must have heard about her disappearance some time ago."

They are all neighbors in the same workshop, and Fang Shilang is his subordinate, how could Wu Shangshu not have heard of them.

Immediately nodded and asked: "What's the inside story about this matter?" Otherwise, it would be impossible to alert Prince Duan.
