lady, please calm down
Chapter 271 Wishing to Win a Heart
Chapter 271 Wishing to Win the Heart
late at night.
After Hutou got up to pee at night, he was about to go back to sleep when he was attracted by the strange and depressing sound in the sister's room next door.
After listening for a moment, Hutou was startled, got up and rushed to the next door.
Fortunately, Bai Lu, who slept with her, reacted very quickly. She grabbed the tiger's head and lowered her voice and asked, "Second lady, what are you going to do?"
In the darkness, Hutou looked anxious, "Go and save my sister!"
"what?"
Seeing that Bai Lu didn't understand, Hu Tou almost burst into tears and grinned: "Didn't you hear? My sister has been shouting, 'The cat is going to die, the cat is going to ascend to heaven' and I can't even breathe!"
"."
Bai Lu couldn't help but feel embarrassed, and at the same time, she was running her brain like crazy, and finally said: "Second Lady, I've got something wrong. I'm practicing martial arts."
"Practice? What kind of exercises does sister do? I have to go and see."
"You can't go! You can't be disturbed by others when you're practicing, otherwise you'll go crazy!"
"Then brother is here too! Doesn't he disturb sister's practice?"
"Master Hou is helping people protect the law!"
"Oh"
After half an hour.
Next door, he is sleeping in Hanchun Hall.
Even though his legs and feet were sore, Mao'er insisted on getting up, took a clean handkerchief, and helped the officer and himself wipe their bodies.
After doing this naked, he quickly shrank into the bed and hugged the official.
After just a few breaths, the goosebumps aroused by the cold air were eliminated and smoothed away by the warm human-shaped heater beside him.
Starlight filtered through the green gauze window.
It's a cold night in late autumn, the hibiscus tent is warm, and people are silent
It seems that the entire chaotic world has nothing to do with the two of them. At this time, Mao'er has lost her identity as the mistress of the Chen family and the person in charge of the court, and has returned to being Chu's beloved wife.
This is the cat's favorite moment.
Chen Chu, who entered the sage's time, held Mao'er in his arms and unconsciously rubbed the latter's small, round shoulders.
Mao'er was happy and relaxed. There was something he had been holding in his mind for two months, and he finally couldn't help but ask, "Guanren."
There was a hint of tiredness and laziness in the soft voice, which made people feel palpitated.
"Huh?" Chen Chu's hands became dishonest again.
Mao'er quickly put Guan Ren's arm in his arms to prevent him from causing trouble, and then continued: "Taoist Master Taixu, was he captured by Guan Ren?"
"Haha, Taoist Priest Wugen came to see you again?"
Chen Chu neither denied nor admitted. The cat leaning next to him raised his head slightly and saw that the official didn't have any displeasure on his face, so he said: "Yes. He asked to see the official, but the official didn't see him, so he had to find me here. That’s it.”
Mao'er never interfered with official business, but Taoist priest Taixu came from Caizhou, Tokyo with the Zhao family, and he helped his grandma prepare medicine to heal her body on the way.
Later, he also helped the Zhao family re-select the ancestral grave. Speaking of which, the Zhao family owed him a favor.
Now Taixu has been missing for more than two months without any reason, and the only people in Caizhou City who can keep Taixu and his famous master Taixu alive and dead without seeing their bodies are their own officials.
More than two months ago, when Wugen cried to Chen Chu that his junior brother was missing, Chen Chu's expression was dull.
As a pillow person, Mao'er naturally guessed that this matter was probably done by officials.
Mao'er didn't ask the specific reason, but tactfully begged for him, "My lord, if Taoist Master Taixu makes a big mistake, it goes without saying. If it's not a big mistake, please spare the life of Taoist Master Taixu." After all, I have a favor with my family."
"Well, don't worry, he won't die."
Speaking of which, doing it without roots is not a big mistake.
Chen Chu didn't believe in the so-called mysteries of Feng Shui. Even now, he still doesn't believe that Mao'er's serious illness is related to the location of his ancestral tomb.
But this kind of thing is always annoying.
Fortunately, the cat recovered. If the cat had any shortcomings, it would not be able to survive without roots.
Chen Chu was not annoyed with him for helping the Zhao family choose a good land, but was annoyed with him for making his own decisions and not telling the truth.
However, in the end, sin does not lead to death.
Mao'er's pillow wind also played a role. Chen Chu originally planned to lock Wugen up for a year and a half, but now, he plans to release him in the near future.
This kind of magic stick not only has some real abilities, but also knows how to deceive people.
It may not be a blessing if you put it on your side. If you give him a few magical things and then send him to the north, I wonder if he can become a national master or something like that.
Chen Chu thought about it secretly.
The next day.
Stay at the Siguan Yamen.
"Yesterday at Xu time, Mr. Yanagawa entered the city late at night. This morning at [-] o'clock, Master and disciple Hu Quan paid a visit to Mr. Yanagawa and have been talking in secret ever since."
At the beginning of noon, the military commander responsible for tracking Hu Quan brought such news to Chen Chu.
Chen Chu lost his appetite for lunch.
Chen Jingan was the core think tank that Chen Chu relied on the most. Chen Chu had no idea what his attitude would be when facing people from the Southern Dynasties.
After all, when Chen Chu wanted to ask for an official position in Qi State for him, Chen Jingyan said that he would never be a traitor in this life.
Although he didn't say it clearly, there was a hint in his words that he only recognized the Great Zhou Dynasty as the orthodox one.
If he is really bent on heading south, no matter how capable he is, Chen Chu will not be able to use it.
Thinking again of the relationship between the two of them, from acquaintance to close friendship in the past two years, which complemented each other and served as both teacher and friend, Chen Chu couldn't help but worry about gains and losses.
In the afternoon, Shen Shi.
"My boss, Mr. Yanagawa would like to see you."
Chen Chu, who had been staying in the duty room of the left-behind department, heard that Mao Dan came to report, and blurted out: "Please, please come in quickly!"
Russian hectares.
Chen Jing'an, dressed in blue and gray casual clothes, walked in. He hadn't seen him for two months. He looked darker and thinner.
"Sir, you have been working hard in Shouzhou for two months."
After exchanging a few words of greetings, Chen Jingan told Chen Chu in detail the progress of various matters in Shouzhou, such as the compilation of training for the people and the re-measurement and cataloging of unowned land.
He also put forward his own suggestion, "Now that the two battalions stationed in Shouzhou have been incorporated into the newly recruited people, each battalion has reached 500 people, far exceeding the normal number. Yuan Zhang had better find a way to recruit Peng Yuhou and Wu Hou. The troops led by the two Marquis Yu have been promoted to the rank of army, only in this way can they be justified."
Chen Chu nodded, and Chen Jing'an added: "There is another matter that Yuan Zhang needs to pay attention to. Ninety percent of the fertile land in Shouzhou has been abandoned. Now the situation is gradually stabilizing. As expected, there will be people who pretend to be slaughtered next The descendants of the squire family pretended to be fertile land. Now that the Shouzhou register has been burned by thieves, we have no way of identifying it. What we will do then, we need to come up with a charter."
Chen Chu twitched the corner of his mouth with disdain and said: "The fertile fields in Shouzhou were all stolen by the soldiers from the thieves. Anyone who wants to take it away must first ask about the knife in someone's hand."
As a scholar, Chen Jing'an originally thought that he would give some words of advice, "Stop killing people." Unexpectedly, he nodded and said, "Well, if killing a few people can deter others from coveting him, it's worth it."
The two spent half an hour discussing various matters in Shouzhou, and Chen Chu became more and more absent-minded.
Until the words became less and less, the two fell into silence one after another.
"Maodan, you go outside and keep an eye on it first, don't let anyone else get close."
Chen Jing'an gave an abrupt order, and Mao Dan couldn't help but look at Chen Chu. After receiving the latter's nod of approval, he walked out of the check-in room and closed the door.
"Yuan Zhang, there is one more urgent matter."
Chen Jingan glanced at Chen Chu, his expression serious, even a little dignified.
"Mr. Yanagawa, please speak."
"This morning, a guy from my same year came to the door."
When Chen Chu heard this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
He knew about this, but Chen Jingan could only speak out on his own initiative. If Chen Chu were to reveal it, Chen Jingan would definitely think that Chen Chu was spying on him and didn't trust him.
If Chen Jingan doesn't mention it, it will be even more troublesome. From now on, Chen Chu can only gradually peel him off from the core layer.
It’s still the same sentence, if you are not 100% loyal, you are 100% disloyal.
Fortunately, Chen Jingan took the initiative to bring up the matter.
"Oh? Mr., who is of the same age, must also be a great talent!"
"It's not important." Chen Jing'an waved his hand, thought for a moment, then stared at Chen Chu and said word by word: "My name is Hu Quan in the same year, and my courtesy name is Bang Heng. I now serve in the Computer Speed Room of the Privy Council of the Southern Dynasties."
"Machine speed room?"
"Yes, it is the place where the Southern Dynasty collects border defense intelligence from various places."
"Ah! Your husband's age is actually a fine work?" Chen Chu seemed to be surprised, his face became solemn.
Chen Jing'an was slightly embarrassed and hurriedly whispered: "Yuan Zhang, don't be nervous, Bang Heng is a bit reckless. He came here this time to find out Yuan Zhang's attitude towards Zhou Guo through me."
"Sir, it's just you and me here. Please tell me, sir."
"Ahem, Hu Bangheng wants to win the Yuan Zhang for Zhou Guo."
In the secret room, within a small space, in the calm expressions, there is important information that can stir up the situation in the world.
Chen Chu frowned and pondered, then suddenly looked at Chen Jingyan and said, "Sir, you also know that I am a returnee from overseas, and I don't have a detailed understanding of the general trend of the world. If you were me, how should I choose?"
"."
Chen Jing'an couldn't help but raise his eyes and met Chen Chu's eyes. He was speechless for a long time.
He came here today indeed to tell Chen Chu about Hu Quan's contact with him, but he may not have wanted to find out Chen Chu's attitude.
When he thought about it, Chen Chu could have countless ways to say it.
Only this statement about asking Chen Jing'an to help him make decisions moved Chen Jing'an the most.
What trust is this!
As for literati, the highest pursuit is to be like Zhuge Wuhou, to meet the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, to be entrusted with military and state affairs, to dedicate himself to the cause, and to be famous throughout the ages.
As he thought about it, Chen Jing'an made a decision. He put away his ups and downs and said seriously: "If I were Yuan Zhang, I only need to remember that 'myself is the main thing', neither south nor north."
"Sir, please elaborate."
"The Qi State has gained a country that is not righteous. It has deprived the princes of the court from being loyal, and it has deprived the hearts and minds of the people everywhere. The country's thieves and ghosts are in charge, and they can just get by. Yuan Zhang is definitely not a loyal leader!"
Chen Jing'an first scolded Qi Guo, but then he changed the subject and said: "Zhou Guo founded the country for three years, and his weak and flattering spirit has penetrated into his very fabric. Everyone in the court only cares about enjoyment and comfort, and has long lost his enterprising spirit. , is also not a Mingzhu."
Chen Chu couldn't help but feel happy and said: "I thought Sir would persuade me to join the Zhou Kingdom."
Chen Jing'an glanced at Chen Chu, shook his head and sighed: "In the Zhou Kingdom, various forces are intertwined and restrain each other. With Yuan Zhang's temper, if you vote for them, there will be not ten but eight memorials to impeach you every day. Sooner or later, trouble will arise. ."
"In your opinion, sir, let's continue to spend time in Huaibei?"
"How can you call it a waste? I know that Yuan Zhang values love, but from now on I will reduce the time spent in the gentle countryside in the back house and spend more time on military and political affairs. Just like two months ago, although I was seriously ill , Yuanzhang should not abandon the unfinished business in Shouzhou and rush back to Cai. Fortunately, the Taining army is weak. What if he encounters a strong army? You need to know that the general is the courage of the army. Where you are, the morale of the army will be there! "
Nowadays, only Chen Jingan and Cai Yuan dare to pretend to be teachers in front of Brother Chen.
After taking the opportunity to speak his mind, Chen Jing'an added: "Huaibei is the place where the Four Wars were fought. Yuan Zhang needs to quickly absorb the results of the Huaibei Rebellion. The Jin Kingdom's attack on the Zhou Dynasty was not fully successful, but they had the ambition to swallow up half of the Southern Dynasty. , everyone knows it! Once that happens, the Huaibei mansions caught in the middle will be involved in a crisis of collapse.
At that time, the millions of people in Huaibei, your brother Tongshan, myself and Yingjun, and even the wife and aunt whom Yuan Zhang regards as treasures, will have no choice but to rely on Yuan Zhang to protect them from being overwhelmed by the general trend of the world! "
It has to be said that Chen Jingan is good at preaching. Chen Chu has seen with his own eyes the tragic fate of officials at all levels and their families in Shouzhou after the thieves crossed the border.
But he always felt that troubled times were still far away, but Chen Jingan used himself, Brother Tongshan, Maoer and other female relatives as examples, which instantly made Chen Chu feel an invisible pressure rushing towards him.
Seeing Chen Chu's silence, Chen Jingan added: "Time waits for no one! Now that Yuan Zhang is in the Qi State, he still needs to respect the Qi State and take the opportunity to expand his strength. However, it is also necessary to contact the Zhou State."
"Sir, will you arrange for me to meet Hu Quan?"
"not see!"
Chen Jing'an refused flatly, "Does Yuan Zhang know who Hu Bangheng is here to represent?"
"Isn't it the Zhou Dynasty court?"
"No."
"."
"He was sent to fight for the Kingdom of Zhou." "Oh? Sir, please elaborate."
"Hu Bangheng and I were both Jinshi in the same field. We were under the tutelage of Duke Chen Bokang, and now he is the Minister of War of the State of Zhou. Duke Chen was repeatedly suppressed in the court by the peace faction headed by Prime Minister Qin Huizhi. He himself is still in danger. You and him are What can we talk about when people from the sect meet?"
"In that case, why did you meet Hu Bangheng?"
"Hey, I'm different from you. Firstly, Bang Heng and I are the same age, and secondly, he brought me an autographed letter from Mr. Chen. How could I shirk it?"
"That's right. Mr. Chen is also your teacher after all."
"Yes. And the Chen Gong family also comes from the Yingchuan Chen family. They moved to Jiangnan at the end of the Tang Dynasty. According to the genealogy, I still need to call him Aweng."
After explaining the complicated relationship between them to Chen Chu, Chen Jingan added: "Actually, it's better this way. Yuan Zhang won't participate. Hu Bangheng and I will discuss it privately. If they give us any benefits, I will take it for Yuan Zhang. If They wanted to get a lot of benefits from us, so I just paid lip service, and when it came time to cash in, Yuan Zhang could just say he didn't know, and it was all my own decision, so that we could move forward and retreat freely."
"."
Chen Chu opened his mouth slightly and looked at Chen Jingan as if he didn't recognize the latter.
Listen, is this human?
It's obviously talking about how to act shameless, but it's said to be 'advancing and retreating freely'.
Sure enough, when scholars don’t want Bilian, they really don’t want Bilian!
Chen Jing'an felt a little uncomfortable being stared at, and couldn't help stroking his beard with a sanctimonious look on his face: "If it's a big deal, don't stick to trivial matters."
"Hahaha, what Mr. said is exactly what I want!"
The end of Shen.
Chen Chu sent Chen Jing'an out of the left-behind department.
The two of them talked secretly today and broke through many barriers that can only be understood but not explained. Chen Jingan's many words were barely stated clearly, and he always encouraged Chen Chu to be a hero based in Huaibei, take advantage of both sides, strengthen himself, and wait for the right time.
The conversation reached this depth, and the relationship between the two on a psychological level unknowingly took a further step.
After seeing Chen Jingan off, Chen Chu stood outside the gate of the government office, looked up at the gloomy sky, thought for a moment, and suddenly walked towards Academy Street.
Three or four days had passed since the incident of beating the servants of the Wu family with a street stick. Sun Changhao was honest and refused to report his illness.
But Chen Chu felt that it was not enough.
The grandson of Chen Jingyan is very tactful. Even with the closing documents signed in his name, there is no guarantee that he will contact the Wu family again in private. Trying to repair the relationship between the children and the in-laws will definitely not work, but trying to make the two families do it He may not have a peaceful mind on the surface.
Since he didn't want to lose face, Chen Chu wanted to help him lose face.
It would be better to turn a small rift between the two families into a big conflict, and then make the big conflict known to everyone so that there is no possibility of easing it.
At the beginning of Youshi.
Chen Chuchu entered the editorial office of "Caizhou Five Days Talk" on Xuyuan Street. After asking about Chen Jinyu's room check-in, he went directly to find her.
The maid Zhuan Yun who was guarding the outer room was stunned and shouted in surprise: "Madam, Marquis Lu An is here!"
As A-yu's personal maid, when Ren Ren was seriously ill, Zhuan Yun accompanied A-yu to Qingyun Temple to pray for blessings and wait for the rabbit to pass. Naturally, he could get a glimpse of his own daughter's hidden thoughts.
Today I saw the sudden arrival of Marquis Lu An, so I was very happy for Chen Jinyu.
Then there was a clanking sound inside, as if something was being packed away in a hurry.
Chen Chu smiled at Zhuan Yun and walked into the inner room.
Chen Jinyu had already stood up and was waiting at the door, looking a little flustered, "Why are you here, uncle?"
Chen Chu looked around for a while. The room was neat and elegant, with documents and books stacked neatly. It was much neater than Chen Chu's desk, which was piled with documents from all over the world.
In the flower bag at the corner of the desk, there is a bouquet of camellias that bloom in late autumn and early winter.
The wall was clean, with only one set of words hanging on it. If you look closely, it turned out to be the seven-character line of the song "Today we call upon the great sage Sun".
Although the brushstrokes used to write Qilu pretend to be majestic, the delicate and powdery air of a child raised in a boudoir cannot be concealed in the writing style. At first glance, it is clearly written by the daughter's family.
"Ayu wrote it?" Chen Chu said with a smile.
Chen Jinyu's cheeks suddenly turned red, and she turned around and took off the calligraphy, "It's not written well, it makes uncle laugh."
"It's good. Why did you pick it?"
Chen Chu casually advised, and Chen Jinyu, who had already taken down the banner, hesitated for a moment, but then hung it back up obediently.
"Uncle came to visit unexpectedly today, but is there something wrong?"
"There is something I need to trouble Ayu about."
"Uncle, just talk."
"A few days ago, servants of Magistrate Sun's family beat people in the street, causing quite a stir. Now the case has been closed, but many people still don't know the details. I would like to ask Ayu to write a report to describe the matter in detail."
"Oh, what aspect does uncle want Ayu to focus on?"
While they were talking, Chen Jinyu had already walked back to the case, spreading paper and grinding it.
"Let's focus on your father. Let's say that he is not afraid of the power of superior officials, and would rather break up with his old friends in his hometown, but insist on seeking justice for the innocent people who were beaten."
While Chen Chu was speaking, Chen Jinyu had raised his head and looked over, a look of surprise bursting out of his smart almond eyes, and then he suddenly couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Chen Chu looked at the pair of sweet pear dimples, lost his mind for a moment, and started laughing unconsciously, "Ayu, are you smiling?"
Still laughing non-stop, Chen Jinyu reached out to open the drawer, took out two pieces of paper, and walked up to Chen Chu with light steps, "Uncle, what do you think of writing like this?"
"."
Chen Chu just came in and said a few words. Of course Chen Jinyu couldn't be a current artist. It seemed that she and Chen Chu had the same idea and even wrote the article.
Chen Chu took a closer look at Ayu's report, which focused on the differences between his father and Magistrate Sun, and even vaguely mentioned the Wu family behind Sun Changhao.
As soon as this article came out, even small conflicts between the Chen family and the Wu family would be magnified countless times. It would be impossible for the two families to go back to the past.
What Chen Chu wanted was to completely cut off Chen Jingyan's retreat, but what Ayu wanted was to completely disrupt the marriage between the Huang family.
Although the purpose is slightly different, the means are the same.
After Chen Chu read it, he couldn't help but laugh, "Ayu has already written it?"
"Yeah. However, if uncle hadn't come, Ayu might not have the courage to let this report appear in the newspaper. Now, if dad gets angry and asks, I will tell him that it was all uncle's intention."
Ayu winked playfully at Chen Chu.
It's the second quarter of the unitary hour.
Wu Yifan, who had been waiting in the official residence for three days without leaving the house, quietly slipped out.
After going out, I touched the Xia Cui Garden next door.
Mrs. Tan, who was alone at home, asked her mother-in-law to invite Wu Yifan in.
"Aunt, is Ayu at home?" Wu Yifan couldn't wait to ask as soon as they met.
"Ayu is at the newspaper office."
In the current situation, let alone the conflict between the two families, just a few days ago when Mrs. Wu came to the house to make trouble, she blamed A-Yu, but Wu Yifan did not even dare to say a word for A-Yu. Mrs. Tan had long lost her thoughts on him.
"Then I'll go to the newspaper office to look for her!"
Wu Yifan left as soon as he said so, and Mrs. Tan quickly called out from behind. When Wu Yifan stood still, she sighed quietly and said: "Maozhi, Ayu's father has sent a letter to your father-in-law's hall a few days ago to discuss the cancellation of the engagement. .You and Ayu are men and women. From now on, it’s better not to meet each other unless there’s nothing to do.”
"."
Wu Yifan's face turned pale and he clenched his fists involuntarily.
He felt that the reason why the Chen family suddenly broke off the engagement must be because of his uncle's failure in Caizhou!
I couldn't help but feel a great hatred in my heart. I hated that the Chen family's parents-in-law acted according to the prevailing situation, flattering the superior and suppressing the inferior. I hated that they looked down on the Wu family.
His chest heaved, Wu Yifan suppressed the anger in his heart and said: "The marriage was agreed upon by both families! Cancellation of the engagement also requires discussion between the two families. The Wu family will not cancel this marriage!"
After all, walk away.
After leaving the official residence, Wu Yifan, who was filled with hatred, rushed straight to the Academy Street newspaper office.
When Chen Jinyu was on duty, Zhuan Yun, who was guarding the outer room, saw Wu Yifan who walked in angrily with a bad look on his face. He quickly stood up and stopped in front of him, saying: "Master Wu, what are you doing! My little girl is waiting for guests in the inner room, you...!" "
Before Zhuan Yun finished speaking, Wu Yifan had already pulled him aside. With no obstruction in front of him, Wu Yifan pushed open the door.
"Ayu! Your mother said"
Wu Yifan, with a red face, broke into the duty room and asked loudly.
It was kind of scary.
Chen Jinyu was caught off guard and subconsciously took two steps back, standing behind Chen Chu who was still sitting on the chair.
"."
Suddenly, Wu Yifan, who was mid-sentence, seemed to have someone's throat grabbed, and he could not utter the rest of the words.
In the room, he saw a young man about his own age wearing light blue casual clothes. He was holding a teacup in one hand and resting his hand on his knee, staring at him with sharp eyes.
The eyes were neither angry nor happy, calm and indifferent, as if looking at an ant that could be crushed to death at any time.
The posture of his body is like that of a tiger, not angry but powerful.
Who else could it be if it wasn't Lu Anhou!
Wu Yifan was stung by Chen Chu's eyes, and also by Ayu's subconscious move to retreat behind Chen Chu.
He suddenly had a suspicion. Could it be that Ayu and Lu Anhou had something secret?No wonder the Chen family wants to break off the engagement!
For a moment, Wu Yifan was filled with hatred, but facing Chen Chu, he didn't even have the courage to glare hard at him.
After an awkward stalemate for a moment, Wu Yifan suddenly said: "Ayu, your mother said that the weather is bad today and asked you to go home early."
After saying that, he hurriedly cupped his hands and ran away.
As if to be a footnote to his words, after a few breaths, colleagues suddenly shouted in the newspaper office, "It's snowing! It's snowing, everyone, come out and see the snow."
At the end of Youshi.
The scattered snow particles have turned into heavy snow.
Just when the lanterns first came on, dense snowflakes cast a psychedelic defocused filter over Caizhou City.
Pedestrians on the street folded their hands and hunched their necks, striding home, or meeting up with a few friends to hang out in a wine shop in the name of enjoying the snow.
On the long street in front of Yamen, there was a young man and woman walking leisurely in the snow, letting the snowflakes rain on their heads.
Just now, Ayu asked her uncle to take her home because she was afraid that Wu Yifan would stop her halfway.
Chen Chu would never refuse. The two of them walked in the snow, casually chatting about some interesting anecdotes, and before they knew it, they were outside the gate of the official residence.
"Okay, we are all our people inside and outside the official residence. If he dares to bully you, just shout and someone will help you vent your anger."
Chen Chu pointed at the government servant guarding the door and said with a smile.
Ayu nodded obediently, but that was not what she wanted to hear.
The snow was getting heavier. Ayu raised her head and looked at the snowflakes on Chen Chu's head. She suddenly pursed her lips and smiled and said, "Uncle's hair is white. Is Ayu's hair white too?"
"Yeah. Go back and change into dry clothes quickly to avoid catching the cold."
Chen Chu gave instructions, but Chen Jinyu looked at the increasingly silvery world and said as if joking: "Uncle, Ayu suddenly remembered a poem."
"He Shi?"
Chen Jinyu raised her slightly red face from the cold, looked at Chen Chu, and softly chanted: "I wish to win the heart of one person, and we will never be apart until we grow old together."
"Suffering from Wen Qing's disease again!"
Chen Chu laughed and raised his hand to give Chen Jinyu a headache.
Chen Jinyu couldn't help but shrink her neck and grimaced in pain. The ambiguous atmosphere she had managed to create was instantly destroyed.
"Let's go, go home quickly."
Chen Chu smiled casually, turned around, and waved his hand back.
In the vast snow curtain, the figure becomes more and more blurred.
Chen Jinyu, who was still standing where he was, rubbed his forehead in frustration.
"Madam, let's go back, shall we?" Zhuan Yun, who was also soaked through, couldn't help but stamp her feet in the cold.
Chen Jinyu wiped a handful of the melted snow water on her face, looked up at the endless heavy snow, felt sad and lonely, and couldn't help but murmured to herself: "What do you want, uncle?" Ayu took 99 steps towards you, and uncle Are you unwilling to take even one step?"
Seven thousand words, just to make up for what I wrote yesterday.
(End of this chapter)
late at night.
After Hutou got up to pee at night, he was about to go back to sleep when he was attracted by the strange and depressing sound in the sister's room next door.
After listening for a moment, Hutou was startled, got up and rushed to the next door.
Fortunately, Bai Lu, who slept with her, reacted very quickly. She grabbed the tiger's head and lowered her voice and asked, "Second lady, what are you going to do?"
In the darkness, Hutou looked anxious, "Go and save my sister!"
"what?"
Seeing that Bai Lu didn't understand, Hu Tou almost burst into tears and grinned: "Didn't you hear? My sister has been shouting, 'The cat is going to die, the cat is going to ascend to heaven' and I can't even breathe!"
"."
Bai Lu couldn't help but feel embarrassed, and at the same time, she was running her brain like crazy, and finally said: "Second Lady, I've got something wrong. I'm practicing martial arts."
"Practice? What kind of exercises does sister do? I have to go and see."
"You can't go! You can't be disturbed by others when you're practicing, otherwise you'll go crazy!"
"Then brother is here too! Doesn't he disturb sister's practice?"
"Master Hou is helping people protect the law!"
"Oh"
After half an hour.
Next door, he is sleeping in Hanchun Hall.
Even though his legs and feet were sore, Mao'er insisted on getting up, took a clean handkerchief, and helped the officer and himself wipe their bodies.
After doing this naked, he quickly shrank into the bed and hugged the official.
After just a few breaths, the goosebumps aroused by the cold air were eliminated and smoothed away by the warm human-shaped heater beside him.
Starlight filtered through the green gauze window.
It's a cold night in late autumn, the hibiscus tent is warm, and people are silent
It seems that the entire chaotic world has nothing to do with the two of them. At this time, Mao'er has lost her identity as the mistress of the Chen family and the person in charge of the court, and has returned to being Chu's beloved wife.
This is the cat's favorite moment.
Chen Chu, who entered the sage's time, held Mao'er in his arms and unconsciously rubbed the latter's small, round shoulders.
Mao'er was happy and relaxed. There was something he had been holding in his mind for two months, and he finally couldn't help but ask, "Guanren."
There was a hint of tiredness and laziness in the soft voice, which made people feel palpitated.
"Huh?" Chen Chu's hands became dishonest again.
Mao'er quickly put Guan Ren's arm in his arms to prevent him from causing trouble, and then continued: "Taoist Master Taixu, was he captured by Guan Ren?"
"Haha, Taoist Priest Wugen came to see you again?"
Chen Chu neither denied nor admitted. The cat leaning next to him raised his head slightly and saw that the official didn't have any displeasure on his face, so he said: "Yes. He asked to see the official, but the official didn't see him, so he had to find me here. That’s it.”
Mao'er never interfered with official business, but Taoist priest Taixu came from Caizhou, Tokyo with the Zhao family, and he helped his grandma prepare medicine to heal her body on the way.
Later, he also helped the Zhao family re-select the ancestral grave. Speaking of which, the Zhao family owed him a favor.
Now Taixu has been missing for more than two months without any reason, and the only people in Caizhou City who can keep Taixu and his famous master Taixu alive and dead without seeing their bodies are their own officials.
More than two months ago, when Wugen cried to Chen Chu that his junior brother was missing, Chen Chu's expression was dull.
As a pillow person, Mao'er naturally guessed that this matter was probably done by officials.
Mao'er didn't ask the specific reason, but tactfully begged for him, "My lord, if Taoist Master Taixu makes a big mistake, it goes without saying. If it's not a big mistake, please spare the life of Taoist Master Taixu." After all, I have a favor with my family."
"Well, don't worry, he won't die."
Speaking of which, doing it without roots is not a big mistake.
Chen Chu didn't believe in the so-called mysteries of Feng Shui. Even now, he still doesn't believe that Mao'er's serious illness is related to the location of his ancestral tomb.
But this kind of thing is always annoying.
Fortunately, the cat recovered. If the cat had any shortcomings, it would not be able to survive without roots.
Chen Chu was not annoyed with him for helping the Zhao family choose a good land, but was annoyed with him for making his own decisions and not telling the truth.
However, in the end, sin does not lead to death.
Mao'er's pillow wind also played a role. Chen Chu originally planned to lock Wugen up for a year and a half, but now, he plans to release him in the near future.
This kind of magic stick not only has some real abilities, but also knows how to deceive people.
It may not be a blessing if you put it on your side. If you give him a few magical things and then send him to the north, I wonder if he can become a national master or something like that.
Chen Chu thought about it secretly.
The next day.
Stay at the Siguan Yamen.
"Yesterday at Xu time, Mr. Yanagawa entered the city late at night. This morning at [-] o'clock, Master and disciple Hu Quan paid a visit to Mr. Yanagawa and have been talking in secret ever since."
At the beginning of noon, the military commander responsible for tracking Hu Quan brought such news to Chen Chu.
Chen Chu lost his appetite for lunch.
Chen Jingan was the core think tank that Chen Chu relied on the most. Chen Chu had no idea what his attitude would be when facing people from the Southern Dynasties.
After all, when Chen Chu wanted to ask for an official position in Qi State for him, Chen Jingyan said that he would never be a traitor in this life.
Although he didn't say it clearly, there was a hint in his words that he only recognized the Great Zhou Dynasty as the orthodox one.
If he is really bent on heading south, no matter how capable he is, Chen Chu will not be able to use it.
Thinking again of the relationship between the two of them, from acquaintance to close friendship in the past two years, which complemented each other and served as both teacher and friend, Chen Chu couldn't help but worry about gains and losses.
In the afternoon, Shen Shi.
"My boss, Mr. Yanagawa would like to see you."
Chen Chu, who had been staying in the duty room of the left-behind department, heard that Mao Dan came to report, and blurted out: "Please, please come in quickly!"
Russian hectares.
Chen Jing'an, dressed in blue and gray casual clothes, walked in. He hadn't seen him for two months. He looked darker and thinner.
"Sir, you have been working hard in Shouzhou for two months."
After exchanging a few words of greetings, Chen Jingan told Chen Chu in detail the progress of various matters in Shouzhou, such as the compilation of training for the people and the re-measurement and cataloging of unowned land.
He also put forward his own suggestion, "Now that the two battalions stationed in Shouzhou have been incorporated into the newly recruited people, each battalion has reached 500 people, far exceeding the normal number. Yuan Zhang had better find a way to recruit Peng Yuhou and Wu Hou. The troops led by the two Marquis Yu have been promoted to the rank of army, only in this way can they be justified."
Chen Chu nodded, and Chen Jing'an added: "There is another matter that Yuan Zhang needs to pay attention to. Ninety percent of the fertile land in Shouzhou has been abandoned. Now the situation is gradually stabilizing. As expected, there will be people who pretend to be slaughtered next The descendants of the squire family pretended to be fertile land. Now that the Shouzhou register has been burned by thieves, we have no way of identifying it. What we will do then, we need to come up with a charter."
Chen Chu twitched the corner of his mouth with disdain and said: "The fertile fields in Shouzhou were all stolen by the soldiers from the thieves. Anyone who wants to take it away must first ask about the knife in someone's hand."
As a scholar, Chen Jing'an originally thought that he would give some words of advice, "Stop killing people." Unexpectedly, he nodded and said, "Well, if killing a few people can deter others from coveting him, it's worth it."
The two spent half an hour discussing various matters in Shouzhou, and Chen Chu became more and more absent-minded.
Until the words became less and less, the two fell into silence one after another.
"Maodan, you go outside and keep an eye on it first, don't let anyone else get close."
Chen Jing'an gave an abrupt order, and Mao Dan couldn't help but look at Chen Chu. After receiving the latter's nod of approval, he walked out of the check-in room and closed the door.
"Yuan Zhang, there is one more urgent matter."
Chen Jingan glanced at Chen Chu, his expression serious, even a little dignified.
"Mr. Yanagawa, please speak."
"This morning, a guy from my same year came to the door."
When Chen Chu heard this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
He knew about this, but Chen Jingan could only speak out on his own initiative. If Chen Chu were to reveal it, Chen Jingan would definitely think that Chen Chu was spying on him and didn't trust him.
If Chen Jingan doesn't mention it, it will be even more troublesome. From now on, Chen Chu can only gradually peel him off from the core layer.
It’s still the same sentence, if you are not 100% loyal, you are 100% disloyal.
Fortunately, Chen Jingan took the initiative to bring up the matter.
"Oh? Mr., who is of the same age, must also be a great talent!"
"It's not important." Chen Jing'an waved his hand, thought for a moment, then stared at Chen Chu and said word by word: "My name is Hu Quan in the same year, and my courtesy name is Bang Heng. I now serve in the Computer Speed Room of the Privy Council of the Southern Dynasties."
"Machine speed room?"
"Yes, it is the place where the Southern Dynasty collects border defense intelligence from various places."
"Ah! Your husband's age is actually a fine work?" Chen Chu seemed to be surprised, his face became solemn.
Chen Jing'an was slightly embarrassed and hurriedly whispered: "Yuan Zhang, don't be nervous, Bang Heng is a bit reckless. He came here this time to find out Yuan Zhang's attitude towards Zhou Guo through me."
"Sir, it's just you and me here. Please tell me, sir."
"Ahem, Hu Bangheng wants to win the Yuan Zhang for Zhou Guo."
In the secret room, within a small space, in the calm expressions, there is important information that can stir up the situation in the world.
Chen Chu frowned and pondered, then suddenly looked at Chen Jingyan and said, "Sir, you also know that I am a returnee from overseas, and I don't have a detailed understanding of the general trend of the world. If you were me, how should I choose?"
"."
Chen Jing'an couldn't help but raise his eyes and met Chen Chu's eyes. He was speechless for a long time.
He came here today indeed to tell Chen Chu about Hu Quan's contact with him, but he may not have wanted to find out Chen Chu's attitude.
When he thought about it, Chen Chu could have countless ways to say it.
Only this statement about asking Chen Jing'an to help him make decisions moved Chen Jing'an the most.
What trust is this!
As for literati, the highest pursuit is to be like Zhuge Wuhou, to meet the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, to be entrusted with military and state affairs, to dedicate himself to the cause, and to be famous throughout the ages.
As he thought about it, Chen Jing'an made a decision. He put away his ups and downs and said seriously: "If I were Yuan Zhang, I only need to remember that 'myself is the main thing', neither south nor north."
"Sir, please elaborate."
"The Qi State has gained a country that is not righteous. It has deprived the princes of the court from being loyal, and it has deprived the hearts and minds of the people everywhere. The country's thieves and ghosts are in charge, and they can just get by. Yuan Zhang is definitely not a loyal leader!"
Chen Jing'an first scolded Qi Guo, but then he changed the subject and said: "Zhou Guo founded the country for three years, and his weak and flattering spirit has penetrated into his very fabric. Everyone in the court only cares about enjoyment and comfort, and has long lost his enterprising spirit. , is also not a Mingzhu."
Chen Chu couldn't help but feel happy and said: "I thought Sir would persuade me to join the Zhou Kingdom."
Chen Jing'an glanced at Chen Chu, shook his head and sighed: "In the Zhou Kingdom, various forces are intertwined and restrain each other. With Yuan Zhang's temper, if you vote for them, there will be not ten but eight memorials to impeach you every day. Sooner or later, trouble will arise. ."
"In your opinion, sir, let's continue to spend time in Huaibei?"
"How can you call it a waste? I know that Yuan Zhang values love, but from now on I will reduce the time spent in the gentle countryside in the back house and spend more time on military and political affairs. Just like two months ago, although I was seriously ill , Yuanzhang should not abandon the unfinished business in Shouzhou and rush back to Cai. Fortunately, the Taining army is weak. What if he encounters a strong army? You need to know that the general is the courage of the army. Where you are, the morale of the army will be there! "
Nowadays, only Chen Jingan and Cai Yuan dare to pretend to be teachers in front of Brother Chen.
After taking the opportunity to speak his mind, Chen Jing'an added: "Huaibei is the place where the Four Wars were fought. Yuan Zhang needs to quickly absorb the results of the Huaibei Rebellion. The Jin Kingdom's attack on the Zhou Dynasty was not fully successful, but they had the ambition to swallow up half of the Southern Dynasty. , everyone knows it! Once that happens, the Huaibei mansions caught in the middle will be involved in a crisis of collapse.
At that time, the millions of people in Huaibei, your brother Tongshan, myself and Yingjun, and even the wife and aunt whom Yuan Zhang regards as treasures, will have no choice but to rely on Yuan Zhang to protect them from being overwhelmed by the general trend of the world! "
It has to be said that Chen Jingan is good at preaching. Chen Chu has seen with his own eyes the tragic fate of officials at all levels and their families in Shouzhou after the thieves crossed the border.
But he always felt that troubled times were still far away, but Chen Jingan used himself, Brother Tongshan, Maoer and other female relatives as examples, which instantly made Chen Chu feel an invisible pressure rushing towards him.
Seeing Chen Chu's silence, Chen Jingan added: "Time waits for no one! Now that Yuan Zhang is in the Qi State, he still needs to respect the Qi State and take the opportunity to expand his strength. However, it is also necessary to contact the Zhou State."
"Sir, will you arrange for me to meet Hu Quan?"
"not see!"
Chen Jing'an refused flatly, "Does Yuan Zhang know who Hu Bangheng is here to represent?"
"Isn't it the Zhou Dynasty court?"
"No."
"."
"He was sent to fight for the Kingdom of Zhou." "Oh? Sir, please elaborate."
"Hu Bangheng and I were both Jinshi in the same field. We were under the tutelage of Duke Chen Bokang, and now he is the Minister of War of the State of Zhou. Duke Chen was repeatedly suppressed in the court by the peace faction headed by Prime Minister Qin Huizhi. He himself is still in danger. You and him are What can we talk about when people from the sect meet?"
"In that case, why did you meet Hu Bangheng?"
"Hey, I'm different from you. Firstly, Bang Heng and I are the same age, and secondly, he brought me an autographed letter from Mr. Chen. How could I shirk it?"
"That's right. Mr. Chen is also your teacher after all."
"Yes. And the Chen Gong family also comes from the Yingchuan Chen family. They moved to Jiangnan at the end of the Tang Dynasty. According to the genealogy, I still need to call him Aweng."
After explaining the complicated relationship between them to Chen Chu, Chen Jingan added: "Actually, it's better this way. Yuan Zhang won't participate. Hu Bangheng and I will discuss it privately. If they give us any benefits, I will take it for Yuan Zhang. If They wanted to get a lot of benefits from us, so I just paid lip service, and when it came time to cash in, Yuan Zhang could just say he didn't know, and it was all my own decision, so that we could move forward and retreat freely."
"."
Chen Chu opened his mouth slightly and looked at Chen Jingan as if he didn't recognize the latter.
Listen, is this human?
It's obviously talking about how to act shameless, but it's said to be 'advancing and retreating freely'.
Sure enough, when scholars don’t want Bilian, they really don’t want Bilian!
Chen Jing'an felt a little uncomfortable being stared at, and couldn't help stroking his beard with a sanctimonious look on his face: "If it's a big deal, don't stick to trivial matters."
"Hahaha, what Mr. said is exactly what I want!"
The end of Shen.
Chen Chu sent Chen Jing'an out of the left-behind department.
The two of them talked secretly today and broke through many barriers that can only be understood but not explained. Chen Jingan's many words were barely stated clearly, and he always encouraged Chen Chu to be a hero based in Huaibei, take advantage of both sides, strengthen himself, and wait for the right time.
The conversation reached this depth, and the relationship between the two on a psychological level unknowingly took a further step.
After seeing Chen Jingan off, Chen Chu stood outside the gate of the government office, looked up at the gloomy sky, thought for a moment, and suddenly walked towards Academy Street.
Three or four days had passed since the incident of beating the servants of the Wu family with a street stick. Sun Changhao was honest and refused to report his illness.
But Chen Chu felt that it was not enough.
The grandson of Chen Jingyan is very tactful. Even with the closing documents signed in his name, there is no guarantee that he will contact the Wu family again in private. Trying to repair the relationship between the children and the in-laws will definitely not work, but trying to make the two families do it He may not have a peaceful mind on the surface.
Since he didn't want to lose face, Chen Chu wanted to help him lose face.
It would be better to turn a small rift between the two families into a big conflict, and then make the big conflict known to everyone so that there is no possibility of easing it.
At the beginning of Youshi.
Chen Chuchu entered the editorial office of "Caizhou Five Days Talk" on Xuyuan Street. After asking about Chen Jinyu's room check-in, he went directly to find her.
The maid Zhuan Yun who was guarding the outer room was stunned and shouted in surprise: "Madam, Marquis Lu An is here!"
As A-yu's personal maid, when Ren Ren was seriously ill, Zhuan Yun accompanied A-yu to Qingyun Temple to pray for blessings and wait for the rabbit to pass. Naturally, he could get a glimpse of his own daughter's hidden thoughts.
Today I saw the sudden arrival of Marquis Lu An, so I was very happy for Chen Jinyu.
Then there was a clanking sound inside, as if something was being packed away in a hurry.
Chen Chu smiled at Zhuan Yun and walked into the inner room.
Chen Jinyu had already stood up and was waiting at the door, looking a little flustered, "Why are you here, uncle?"
Chen Chu looked around for a while. The room was neat and elegant, with documents and books stacked neatly. It was much neater than Chen Chu's desk, which was piled with documents from all over the world.
In the flower bag at the corner of the desk, there is a bouquet of camellias that bloom in late autumn and early winter.
The wall was clean, with only one set of words hanging on it. If you look closely, it turned out to be the seven-character line of the song "Today we call upon the great sage Sun".
Although the brushstrokes used to write Qilu pretend to be majestic, the delicate and powdery air of a child raised in a boudoir cannot be concealed in the writing style. At first glance, it is clearly written by the daughter's family.
"Ayu wrote it?" Chen Chu said with a smile.
Chen Jinyu's cheeks suddenly turned red, and she turned around and took off the calligraphy, "It's not written well, it makes uncle laugh."
"It's good. Why did you pick it?"
Chen Chu casually advised, and Chen Jinyu, who had already taken down the banner, hesitated for a moment, but then hung it back up obediently.
"Uncle came to visit unexpectedly today, but is there something wrong?"
"There is something I need to trouble Ayu about."
"Uncle, just talk."
"A few days ago, servants of Magistrate Sun's family beat people in the street, causing quite a stir. Now the case has been closed, but many people still don't know the details. I would like to ask Ayu to write a report to describe the matter in detail."
"Oh, what aspect does uncle want Ayu to focus on?"
While they were talking, Chen Jinyu had already walked back to the case, spreading paper and grinding it.
"Let's focus on your father. Let's say that he is not afraid of the power of superior officials, and would rather break up with his old friends in his hometown, but insist on seeking justice for the innocent people who were beaten."
While Chen Chu was speaking, Chen Jinyu had raised his head and looked over, a look of surprise bursting out of his smart almond eyes, and then he suddenly couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Chen Chu looked at the pair of sweet pear dimples, lost his mind for a moment, and started laughing unconsciously, "Ayu, are you smiling?"
Still laughing non-stop, Chen Jinyu reached out to open the drawer, took out two pieces of paper, and walked up to Chen Chu with light steps, "Uncle, what do you think of writing like this?"
"."
Chen Chu just came in and said a few words. Of course Chen Jinyu couldn't be a current artist. It seemed that she and Chen Chu had the same idea and even wrote the article.
Chen Chu took a closer look at Ayu's report, which focused on the differences between his father and Magistrate Sun, and even vaguely mentioned the Wu family behind Sun Changhao.
As soon as this article came out, even small conflicts between the Chen family and the Wu family would be magnified countless times. It would be impossible for the two families to go back to the past.
What Chen Chu wanted was to completely cut off Chen Jingyan's retreat, but what Ayu wanted was to completely disrupt the marriage between the Huang family.
Although the purpose is slightly different, the means are the same.
After Chen Chu read it, he couldn't help but laugh, "Ayu has already written it?"
"Yeah. However, if uncle hadn't come, Ayu might not have the courage to let this report appear in the newspaper. Now, if dad gets angry and asks, I will tell him that it was all uncle's intention."
Ayu winked playfully at Chen Chu.
It's the second quarter of the unitary hour.
Wu Yifan, who had been waiting in the official residence for three days without leaving the house, quietly slipped out.
After going out, I touched the Xia Cui Garden next door.
Mrs. Tan, who was alone at home, asked her mother-in-law to invite Wu Yifan in.
"Aunt, is Ayu at home?" Wu Yifan couldn't wait to ask as soon as they met.
"Ayu is at the newspaper office."
In the current situation, let alone the conflict between the two families, just a few days ago when Mrs. Wu came to the house to make trouble, she blamed A-Yu, but Wu Yifan did not even dare to say a word for A-Yu. Mrs. Tan had long lost her thoughts on him.
"Then I'll go to the newspaper office to look for her!"
Wu Yifan left as soon as he said so, and Mrs. Tan quickly called out from behind. When Wu Yifan stood still, she sighed quietly and said: "Maozhi, Ayu's father has sent a letter to your father-in-law's hall a few days ago to discuss the cancellation of the engagement. .You and Ayu are men and women. From now on, it’s better not to meet each other unless there’s nothing to do.”
"."
Wu Yifan's face turned pale and he clenched his fists involuntarily.
He felt that the reason why the Chen family suddenly broke off the engagement must be because of his uncle's failure in Caizhou!
I couldn't help but feel a great hatred in my heart. I hated that the Chen family's parents-in-law acted according to the prevailing situation, flattering the superior and suppressing the inferior. I hated that they looked down on the Wu family.
His chest heaved, Wu Yifan suppressed the anger in his heart and said: "The marriage was agreed upon by both families! Cancellation of the engagement also requires discussion between the two families. The Wu family will not cancel this marriage!"
After all, walk away.
After leaving the official residence, Wu Yifan, who was filled with hatred, rushed straight to the Academy Street newspaper office.
When Chen Jinyu was on duty, Zhuan Yun, who was guarding the outer room, saw Wu Yifan who walked in angrily with a bad look on his face. He quickly stood up and stopped in front of him, saying: "Master Wu, what are you doing! My little girl is waiting for guests in the inner room, you...!" "
Before Zhuan Yun finished speaking, Wu Yifan had already pulled him aside. With no obstruction in front of him, Wu Yifan pushed open the door.
"Ayu! Your mother said"
Wu Yifan, with a red face, broke into the duty room and asked loudly.
It was kind of scary.
Chen Jinyu was caught off guard and subconsciously took two steps back, standing behind Chen Chu who was still sitting on the chair.
"."
Suddenly, Wu Yifan, who was mid-sentence, seemed to have someone's throat grabbed, and he could not utter the rest of the words.
In the room, he saw a young man about his own age wearing light blue casual clothes. He was holding a teacup in one hand and resting his hand on his knee, staring at him with sharp eyes.
The eyes were neither angry nor happy, calm and indifferent, as if looking at an ant that could be crushed to death at any time.
The posture of his body is like that of a tiger, not angry but powerful.
Who else could it be if it wasn't Lu Anhou!
Wu Yifan was stung by Chen Chu's eyes, and also by Ayu's subconscious move to retreat behind Chen Chu.
He suddenly had a suspicion. Could it be that Ayu and Lu Anhou had something secret?No wonder the Chen family wants to break off the engagement!
For a moment, Wu Yifan was filled with hatred, but facing Chen Chu, he didn't even have the courage to glare hard at him.
After an awkward stalemate for a moment, Wu Yifan suddenly said: "Ayu, your mother said that the weather is bad today and asked you to go home early."
After saying that, he hurriedly cupped his hands and ran away.
As if to be a footnote to his words, after a few breaths, colleagues suddenly shouted in the newspaper office, "It's snowing! It's snowing, everyone, come out and see the snow."
At the end of Youshi.
The scattered snow particles have turned into heavy snow.
Just when the lanterns first came on, dense snowflakes cast a psychedelic defocused filter over Caizhou City.
Pedestrians on the street folded their hands and hunched their necks, striding home, or meeting up with a few friends to hang out in a wine shop in the name of enjoying the snow.
On the long street in front of Yamen, there was a young man and woman walking leisurely in the snow, letting the snowflakes rain on their heads.
Just now, Ayu asked her uncle to take her home because she was afraid that Wu Yifan would stop her halfway.
Chen Chu would never refuse. The two of them walked in the snow, casually chatting about some interesting anecdotes, and before they knew it, they were outside the gate of the official residence.
"Okay, we are all our people inside and outside the official residence. If he dares to bully you, just shout and someone will help you vent your anger."
Chen Chu pointed at the government servant guarding the door and said with a smile.
Ayu nodded obediently, but that was not what she wanted to hear.
The snow was getting heavier. Ayu raised her head and looked at the snowflakes on Chen Chu's head. She suddenly pursed her lips and smiled and said, "Uncle's hair is white. Is Ayu's hair white too?"
"Yeah. Go back and change into dry clothes quickly to avoid catching the cold."
Chen Chu gave instructions, but Chen Jinyu looked at the increasingly silvery world and said as if joking: "Uncle, Ayu suddenly remembered a poem."
"He Shi?"
Chen Jinyu raised her slightly red face from the cold, looked at Chen Chu, and softly chanted: "I wish to win the heart of one person, and we will never be apart until we grow old together."
"Suffering from Wen Qing's disease again!"
Chen Chu laughed and raised his hand to give Chen Jinyu a headache.
Chen Jinyu couldn't help but shrink her neck and grimaced in pain. The ambiguous atmosphere she had managed to create was instantly destroyed.
"Let's go, go home quickly."
Chen Chu smiled casually, turned around, and waved his hand back.
In the vast snow curtain, the figure becomes more and more blurred.
Chen Jinyu, who was still standing where he was, rubbed his forehead in frustration.
"Madam, let's go back, shall we?" Zhuan Yun, who was also soaked through, couldn't help but stamp her feet in the cold.
Chen Jinyu wiped a handful of the melted snow water on her face, looked up at the endless heavy snow, felt sad and lonely, and couldn't help but murmured to herself: "What do you want, uncle?" Ayu took 99 steps towards you, and uncle Are you unwilling to take even one step?"
Seven thousand words, just to make up for what I wrote yesterday.
