It turned out that he hadn't fallen asleep, but just dozed off.
A woman's exclamation came from the painting boat nearby, and Pei'er stood up and shouted, "Who are you? How dare you kick our boat? Do you know..."
She stared at Chen Chuxiu's face, and the more she looked at it, the more something was wrong, and she couldn't continue her words.
The man in front of me is so familiar, and the portrait that the eldest son gave to the young lady, the more he looks, the more he looks like...
"Master Chen!"
Yao Yue got out of the cabin, trying to stop Chen Chuxiu, when Yin Jixiu heard her voice, she also got out of the cabin.
"Master Chen?"
It so happens that they met a Mr. Chen here. Could it be the Chen Chuxiu they were looking for
Seeing Yaoyue later, both master and servant were taken aback.
Yaoyue must have heard their conversation just now...
Chen Chuxiu crossed his arms and looked at Yin Jiyu rudely, "Which family are you from? You look like a lady, why are you talking so badly?"
Yaoyue stepped forward to stop him in embarrassment, "Mr. Chen, that's not the case. I knew Miss Yin before. There is some misunderstanding here, please don't worry about it."
"I know you?"
Chen Chuxiu thought about it, the maid mentioned Gu Jiuge in her words just now, and it became clear for a moment.
"So it's the confidante of Second Young Master Gu, Miss Yin? It's rare to see people with the surname Yin in the imperial court. Could it be that Miss is the younger sister of Prime Minister Yin Shuo?"
Yin Jixiu came back to her senses at this moment, and she knew the identity of the man in front of her, "I have met Mr. Chen."
Chen Chuxiu snorted and said disdainfully, "Miss was entrusted by Prime Minister Yin to come to me, what's the matter?"
He knew in his heart that the biggest move of the DPRK and China recently, apart from the battle with Xikun at the border, was to form a cabinet.
His father, Chen Yushi, was a popular candidate for the cabinet. Yin Shuo asked his younger sister to approach him, and the intention was self-evident.
Yin Jixiu looked embarrassed, she really came to approach Chen Chuxiu, but the other party had already seen through before she made a move.
It's all because she was too careless, thinking that there was no one on the lake at this time, and the painting boat next to it had been standing still, so it must be an empty boat.
Who would have thought that there were only two of them talking about her and Pei Er!
Yin Jiyu couldn't say anything, Yaoyue looked at the faces of the two of them with great eyesight, nodded and said: "Since Miss Yin has something to do with Mr. Chen, Yaoyue will take my leave first, and the two of you can talk slowly."
"How do you want to say goodbye? Do you have a boat back?"
Chen Chuxiu complained, and his eyes were tender. Just when Yin Jiyu was about to run away in a hurry, he heard him say again: "Well, Miss Yin, wait for me for a while. I will ask the boatman to send Miss Yaoyue back first, and then come to find her again." how are you?"
Yin Jiyu was astonished, after such an oolong, Chen Chuxiu was still willing to talk to her
It seems that he only knew that he was sent by Yin Shuo to find him, but he didn't know the purpose. She had to think carefully about how to get back the words.
"Okay, Mr. Chen, let's go. Miss Yueyue, it was Pei'er who spoke too recklessly just now, so I invited Miss Haihan."
Fortunately, it was Pei'er who spoke rudely, not herself, otherwise the scene would have been even more embarrassing.
Yaoyue nodded with a good temper, "I was in a trance just now, and I didn't hear anything, so don't worry about it, Miss Yin."
After so many years of wandering around, Yaoyue has already practiced the ability not to offend anyone. She was curious about why Yin Jixiu came to Chen Chuxiu, but she never thought of asking.
It's not something she, a mere virtuoso, should ask about the powerful people.
On the way back, Yaoyue looked at Chen Chuxiu's face, "Mr. Chen obviously doesn't like Miss Yin, why do you want to go back to see her?"
"It's not just that you don't like it? Are you not angry when they say that about you?"
Yaoyue was surprised and said: "Did Mr. Chen agree to go back to see Miss Yin because he wanted to vent his anger on me?"
Chen Chuxiu snorted coldly, "It's not just because of this. Prime Minister Yin's methods are too low, and he asked his sister to use beauty tricks to inquire about the candidates for the cabinet. It is because His Majesty doesn't trust him that he wants to form a cabinet. He secretly Isn’t it against His Majesty’s will to use means to inquire? If I don’t give them a little bit of trouble, Prime Minister Yin thinks he can run amok in the court!”
Yaoyue has heard a lot of anecdotes about Chen Chuxiu, such as spending a lot of money to buy an oiran, and fighting with the clan's children in the fireworks street in order to win, he dared to do anything.
He said that he wanted to give the brothers and sisters of the Yin family some trouble, what kind of trouble would it be
Yin Jizheng is Gu Jiuge's friend, Yaoyue was a little worried, "But Miss Yin is a woman after all, even if there are any tricks, it's her brother who did it, what does it have to do with her?"
It was her elder brother Yin Shuo who plotted to get close to him. He secretly scolded Yaoyue as a vixen with her servant girl. She was not wronged by this matter, right
Chen Chuxiu didn't say it out loud, he knew that Yaoyue had a good heart, so he said, "Don't worry, I have a sense of proportion."
Yue Yue pursed her lips.
She didn't think Chen Chuxiu had any sense of propriety, but this matter involved the court, and she knew that she shouldn't care too much in her own capacity.
The river bank was getting closer and closer, the boatman tapped the penny on the bluestone of the pier, and after the boat stopped, Yaoyue got up to have a blessing, and his figure swayed with the boat.
Chen Chuxiu immediately got up and supported her with his own arm, "Don't be too polite, go back and have a good rest."
He has been deliberately avoiding physical contact, even using his arms to support himself, caring and polite.
Yaoyue glanced at him gratefully, "Then Yaoyue will take my leave first."
