Bingwen is wearing an elegant brocade robe today, with a simple jade crown with tassels on his head. His black hair is pouring down, and strands are scattered on his shoulders. His eyes are like stars. Under the high bridge of his nose, his lips are as red as As bright as snowy cherry blossoms, the lines on her face are extremely perfect.
He reached out to take the wine glass pushed over by Xia Chu and raised it gently: "When I was attracted by your call, my whole body was trembling with fear, and my heart was filled with fear. It was still the cold winter season in the twelfth lunar month, but I was full of fear. I broke out in a cold sweat."
Bingwen picked up the wine glass in his hand and touched it lightly with Xia Chu, with a smile on his lips, extremely elegant.
Xia Chu looked at Yin Zhi who had finished the drink in front of him. Finally, the appearance of Mr. Qian Qian overlapped with that in his memory. It was even more vivid and eye-catching than the appearance in his memory. .
"Introduce him, your descendants, don't introduce him in your place. I once said that one day, I will avenge your shame and give justice to your Ren family." Xia Chu also raised his head and drank all the wine in the glass.
"Master, you did it." Bingwen looked sad.
"How come you forgot again, you said that when there are no outsiders, just call me by my name." Xia Chu looked displeased.
"Xia Chu." A faint smile appeared at the corner of Bingwen's lips, and he refilled the glasses for the two of them. How could he forget? He remembered every word Xia Chu said. But at that moment, he was filled with emotion, not to mention calling him Master, it was also appropriate to call him a benefactor.
Xia Chu nodded with satisfaction and immediately raised the wine glass he had just filled: "I promised you something."
Bingwen looked stunned. One more thing
He filtered it carefully in his mind and found that it was gone, really gone.
Xia Chu did everything he promised him.
"I also said that you would be the one to re-establish the family tradition." Xia Chu looked at him with a confused expression on his face and a bright smile on his lips.
"I am very satisfied that the Ren family name can be brought to the world. For the rest of my life, I do not want to enter the official career. I only want to stay in Wentian Pavilion to take care of things for you. Don't even think about chasing me away."
"I can't bear to chase you away." Xia Chu finished his glass of wine, then raised his eyes and stared at him and said, "I asked Zi Mu to ask for a favor for you."
"What kind of favor?" Bingwen couldn't help but ask. Since it was not an official appointment, what kind of favor did Xia Chu need to ask Xiao Zimu to ask for in person
You can't just ask for some gold, silver, jade, or deeds to good land...
"The Emperor allows you to establish the Ren family ancestral hall in the capital." After Xia Chu finished speaking, Bingwen's hand that was pouring wine for him froze. Since the Xiao Kingdom, Bai Shen was not allowed to build an ancestral hall.
What's more, what was built was the ancestral hall of the Ren family.
Xia Chu tapped the table, and Bingwen looked for the sound, only to realize that he was stunned for a moment, and the wine had already been filled and spilled out.
Xia Chu took the wine bottle from his hand and put it aside: "I originally planned to make it for you as a surprise, but then I thought, after all, it is your family's ancestral hall, so it is up to you to take care of it..."
"Xia Chu." Bingwen interrupted him, and said with a moved face and a sincere tone: "Thank you."
Xia Chu waved his hand: "It was also because you refused the emperor's reward, and the roster that was handed over to him stabilized the court. Now, Du Hanfei's followers have begun to spit out the money they have spent on corruption over the years to the Ministry of Household Affairs one after another. I just opened my mouth, and Zi Mu just asked for the decree, the main thing is your own ability."
Bingwen knew in his heart that Xia Chu said this because he didn't want to put too much burden on himself.
The emperor will definitely praise Xiao Zimu lavishly this time, and he should agree to whatever he asks.
But they only asked for permission to build a temple for themselves.
"After the temple is established, the homeless children you usually care for will have a place to stay." Xia Chu tapped his index finger on the table.
Bingwen looked startled: "Sure enough, I can't hide anything from you."
"You forgot that Bian Hao is by your side." Xia Chu immediately smiled.
The same was true for Bingwen in his previous life, and it will be the same in this life.
Perhaps due to his own life experience, when he saw a nine-year-old child begging on the street or being bullied, he would inevitably help him. He would even go to the refugee area to help some needy refugees on a regular basis.
"Speaking of Bian Hao, luckily he showed up to save that smelly stone the night before the scientific examination." Bingwen mentioned it immediately, not forgetting to ask for credit for him.
"How can I treat my people so badly?" Xia Chu feigned anger.
Bingwen laughed and raised his glass over his head with both hands, punishing himself with a glass of wine.
"You should be more alert when you come and go recently. King Yu will retaliate. Since he said harsh words before leaving in the spring breeze that day, I'm afraid he will not be able to help but take action against you." Xia Chu said about Xiao Yanjun, The smile on his face faded and turned serious.
"He is about to get married now, and there are so many pairs of eyes staring at him. Even if he wants to take action, he will survive these nine days." Bingwen saw his face condensed, and his face became solemn.
Xia Chu originally wanted to give him a heads up, but when he saw that he knew what was going on, he was relieved: "Call Qian'an and Raven to come in and have a drink together."
Bingwen stood up with a smile. This scene was also very familiar.
After they had finished talking about their business for the first time, Xia Chu also asked him to open the door and called Su Qian'an in. He also told them that they would be good brothers upstairs and downstairs from now on, and they should help and take care of each other.
Now, there is an extra raven.
After the four of them had a drink and finished their meal, Bingwen wanted to invite Xia Chu to sit at Wentian Pavilion. After all, he had not had a chance to take a look at the third floor that he had carefully renovated for him since he returned to Beijing.
What's more, Wentiange has accumulated a lot of information and plans to let him take a look at it.
However, Xia Chu waved his hand and patted Bingwen on the shoulder with an old-fashioned look: "Now you can also take charge of yourself. I will not interfere with the affairs of Wentian Pavilion. You can make up your own mind about what you want to do. I We will all support you, there is no need to specifically ask me for instructions.”
Bingwen shook his head helplessly. Xia Chu was going to fight the boss to the end.
But that's fine, being able to take care of everything for Xia Chu is what he wishes for the rest of his life.
But as Xia Chu said, he is already able to take charge of his own affairs. From the wealthy officials in the capital, he has Mingxiang Garden and Drinking Room to collect information, and the gold selling cave in Yixiang Tower to investigate secret matters, down to the people he takes care of on weekdays. It can also be said that the refugees know some unknown secrets from all three religions and nine streams with him.
Now this capital city has long been transparent in his eyes.
He originally wanted to discuss it with Xia Chu, but he felt it was time to expand his power elsewhere.
Since Xia Chu has allowed himself to make the decision, then it’s time to set up some hidden stakes in Guwan, Nansu, Hanyang, and Chongqing, including his previous hometown, Central and Zhejiang...
