The dark clouds that had shrouded Yuzhou Prefecture for a long time dissipated, and after the weather cleared, the day was better than the heat of the day.
Today is the closing scene of Tian Cui Yuan. No matter how hot it goes, the actors can no longer wear their heavy clothes, how can they sing well? Inside and outside the Tiancuiyuan lobby, many people sat there.
He said that on the second floor, everyone was drinking herbal tea, swinging a folding fan, and wearing a thin robe. When they saw the steward of the theater, they diligently led the group upstairs, and they were all surprised—
Tiancuiyuan has been standing in Yuzhou for many years, and it is said that there is someone behind him, and there are official relationships and secret transactions. Ordinary dignitaries, don't you need a few stewards of Tiancuiyuan to go over to flatter them
"It turned out to be the governor of Chen, but he hasn't been there for a few years!"
Immediately, a squire recognized the middle-aged man in splendid attire.
"Your Majesty, stay safe!" The person who reacted a tad slower also quickly stood up and cupped his hands.
As for those who don't know him at all and have never met Chen Junshou, they can only stand up and bow their hands with meaning. After all, this is the governing party, the official with real power, and no one wants to mess with it.
This makes Chen He, who is sitting still, very abrupt.
The one Chen He chose was the best seat. It was a good seat facing the stage. It was a good seat that could be compared with this table. There was only the other seat next to it.
Just now, I came to tell Chen He what the wealthy businessmen in Wucheng, Dongning County, had a good time talking and laughing at the table. When they saw this situation, they quickly gave up their positions and only wanted to sell them in front of the county guard. good.
Chen Junshou was obviously used to this kind of attentive and flattering treatment, and he didn't even give those businessmen a glance.
He frowned at Chen He, and at first he felt unhappy: whose son is this, so rude.
Immediately, he wondered if it might be someone from Tianhuang, who ran to the theater in Yuzhou to have fun. Chen Junshou noticed the stewards of Tiancuiyuan around him. He didn't rush to persuade the young man. Instead, he appeared embarrassed and overwhelmed. look.
It's obvious that they can't afford to offend the young man, but they don't know the identity of the other party, so they can't remind Chen Junshou (the steward only knows the backstage. They can't find out who is the boss Xu Jindou and who Chen He is. The biggest official in Yuzhou is here, Xu Jindou. They don’t even wink over to flatter, and the stewards have to pretend they don’t know).
After two stalemates, Chang Sui, who came with Chen Junshou, couldn't help it: "Who, seeing the Junshou so rude..."
Behind Chen Junshou, a white-bearded old man who looked like an aide smiled and stopped the long follower: "No need to do this, Zhen Weng returned to Yuzhou for the first time, just to listen to a play, this is not a yamen, so there is no need to say so."
The words were full and full, with a sudden demeanor.
Many scholars in the lobby downstairs felt that Jun Shou Chen must be a friendly and unassuming official.
On the contrary, the sight that bet on Chen He is not very good. They think similar to Chen Junshou: if this person is not a playboy with a surprising origin, he is born arrogant and does not know how to advance or retreat.
How could this kind of obscure and unkind gaze affect Chen He in the slightest
If Chen He hadn't been lazy for a while and didn't use a blindfold to cover his appearance, if it wasn't easy to change after a while, it was estimated that there would be nothing to connect.
Chen Junshou looked at the young man and felt that he looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it.
Chen Xingniang, who was wearing a silk silk hat behind him, dressed elegantly and did not wear hairpins, was the first to see the clue, and she was shocked: how could this person look similar to his father, Chen Junshou.
Chen He's face, related to his fate, will of course not be exactly the same as others.
If his mother who died early was also here, others could easily pick out the similarities between Chen He's appearance and the two on the faces of Chen Junshou and his wife, eyebrows, eyes, outline...
In other words, if there is a Taoist priest of the Heluo sect here, even if it is a half-assistant, he will definitely sigh, "Neither the virtuous couple is a person who has a good fate, and they have calamity, and their six relatives are incomplete. However, his reputation was ruined, and his soul returned to the underworld early. As for Linglang, let's not say it, he has all the shortcomings of the two of you, and Pindao has never seen a person with such a bad fate in his life."
The fact that such a family can get together will make a physicist with a bit of skill feel emotional.
Then, it is estimated that this person who looks at the picture will run away. The fate of such a person is so bad that it is common for relatives and friends to die together. Whoever gets close will be unlucky.
Chen Junshou came from an aristocratic family, and a capable mentor refused or dared not say these unpleasant words in front of him, and he did not know such things.
After being seated at the adjacent table, Chen Junshou was still suspicious of Chen He's somewhat familiar face.
"Zhen Weng." His staff said calmly, "I don't know if the Chen family is somewhere else, but there is a branch?"
"My family has been in Yunzhou for more than a hundred years..."
Chen Jun kept the name Chen Zhen, and Ding You returned home in a hurry more than three years ago. It was precisely because the Chen family in Yunzhou was destroyed by a fire that the ancestral house was burnt clean, and the nearby branch of the Chen family was also implicated.
It is not easy to separate families, even if they do, they still live on the same street.
As the old saying goes, it's the same thing.
Chen Zhen was reminded by his staff, and finally realized the key. He turned around and glanced at everyone, and found that some of the people on the second floor eating tea and listening to the show also had this doubt in their eyes.
Just a little doubt, not sure.
Unless you are particularly familiar with Chen Zhen, you can only see that the two are somewhat similar.
Chen He is no longer the same Chen He when the governor of Chen left Yuzhou a few years ago. The fragments of the small world have been fighting for 40 years, and the memory of Venerable Liyan in his previous life... These have changed Chen He a lot. Those silhouettes are similar, It also became a little plausible that the staff saw Chen Zhen's hesitation, and immediately winked.
Chang Sui dragged the guy in the theater to inquire secretly, but the guy couldn't say anything useful, so Chang Sui had to come back and shake his head to the staff.
Chen He sat still, and even the sneer above his face disappeared without a trace.
He tilted his head comfortably, as if listening to the play had been fascinated.
"Cough." The old man of the staff walked over at Fangbu with a smile, "This little boy, can this old man take a seat here?"
Everyone upstairs was in no mood to listen to the play, and they were all paying attention to the movement here.
Unexpectedly, the young man, who no one could figure out his origin, said bluntly, "No."
"… "
Chen Zhen's staff was embarrassed for a while, and even more angry. He was old and had a little fame, but he was a staff staff because he couldn't make it. He has never seen such an ignorant young man for many years in the officialdom.
Annoyed to annoyed, the aide still held back, just laughed at himself: "It seems that the old man disturbed the young master."
There was a hint of impatience in the expressions of the magic cultivators, but this clue made the staff immediately see it, and they were shocked.
Today, they pay attention to filial piety and etiquette, not to mention others, such an old man, standing and talking to people, the other party is not polite, and the eyes of people in the theater when they look at Chen He become subtle.
And the impatience of the magic cultivators is not what Chen Zhen thought, "ignoring other people's gossip, it must have an extraordinary origin", but really impatient—
Think about it, a mortal in his fifties calling himself old in front of them.
This age is a fraction of them.
Even Chen He's bone age is almost the same as this staff member.
This person seems polite, but in reality, in the public eye, he is still relying on the old to sell the old, making it difficult for people to refuse, and relying on Chen Junshou behind him, he wants to test Chen He. Otherwise, how could there not be a seat for this aide by Chen Junshou's side
This approach is the best policy, but I have encountered people who do not buy it.
Chen He couldn't even talk to him this time, leaning back on the chair with his eyes half closed, he tapped the beat lightly in harmony with the actor's singing voice.
After the staff found the steps for himself, he walked back shamelessly, and whispered to Chen Junshou: "That person's guards should not be underestimated."
Chen Zhen thought more than his staff. He saw that although the people around Chen He were posing as guards, standing but not sitting, there was not much nervousness in their expressions, nor did they look around, and watched the people around him vigilantly. .
Such guards are either negligent and miserable, or they feel that there will be no danger in their hearts.
Of course, there is a third possibility - they are all empty shelves, in fact, the people who are surrounded by them are very capable, and they don't need their escort at all.
Thinking of this, Chen Junshou's expression became gloomy again.
The other party obviously didn't want to talk to this side, it was useless to try, and the identity people didn't buy it, and it was in vain to think of a way.
As soon as the river Han girl finished singing, Chen He led the people away.
Chen Xingniang saw that Junshou Chen frowned even more, and couldn't help but reminded in a low voice: "Dad, didn't Mr. Song say that I have a brother in my hometown in Yunzhou, and I lost it in my early years..."
Mr. Song is the one who has been with Chen Zhen for many years, and he quickly motioned Chen Xingniang to shut up. Even if his voice was low, others couldn't hear him. How could it be a private place on such occasions
Chen Zhen didn't take her daughter's words seriously at all.
He does have a son, but that child is a fool, and he should be twenty-two years old this year, how could he be this person who doesn't seem to be weak enough
Chen Xingniang was restless, she couldn't say why, but felt panic in her heart.
The man just now didn't see it at a glance, but when she entered Tiancuiyuan, she felt a sense of fear, and it wasn't until Chen He left that she felt better.
Another scene was sung on the stage, and suddenly someone came in in a hurry, and said to Mr. Song, the staff member, "The people from the Zhong family heard that the county guard was back, and they came to the door to make trouble again."
"Fool couple, foolish woman, there's no reason for this." Mr. Song frowned.
Chen Xingniang's husband, Zhong Hu, disappeared inexplicably, but the Zhong family insisted that Miss Chen murdered her husband.
Chen Zhen was very impatient. He originally married his daughter out because he was optimistic about Zhong Hu's ability.
Since life and death were unknown, the Zhong family came to the door and said that Chen Xingniang wore a red hairpin without any grief.
As for Zhonghu, of course, I didn't find it anymore. Chen Junshou said that if his son-in-law died, he had to die if he didn't.
Chen Xingniang has been a widow for two years, and in the spring of next year, Chen Zhen plans to marry her again. Don't think about those who are high-ranking and powerful, and those scholars who are waiting for their early career and capable of rising to the sky can still be found.
"Go and drive people away." Chen Zhen said lightly.
As long as he has an attitude, the Zhong family will not be better off in Yuzhou.
When Chen He took the people back, he happened to see the yamen officers carrying a bunch of people and throwing them on the street.
"Sir, someone is following us."
Chen He had already discovered that the aide didn't give up, and even let a few servants follow them.
For mortals, the method of tracking is quite clever, but how can it be concealed from the cultivator's consciousness
"Who is this?" Chen He stopped at those who were beaten and cried endlessly.
The magic cultivators looked at each other in dismay, and after they ran out to inquire, they came back and said cautiously, "...I heard them shouting, it is the son-in-law of Chen Junshou, and they said that the Zhong family male who married Miss Chen died inexplicably."
As soon as he said this, Chen He remembered that when he was in the capital, he and his senior brother, Venerable Huanjian, and also saw people from the Zhong family in Yuzhou make trouble over this matter. Those people made trouble in the front yard, and they went to the study. It was found that the person who kidnapped Zhong Hu was a member of the Chixia Sect in the Western Regions, that is, Fu Lieyun.
Chen He sneered and walked away.
"Son..."
"You don't have to drive away, let the people behind you follow. I want to see what tricks he can play."
Chen He used to walk around the Chen family, but he got the memory of Venerable Liyan and saw with his own eyes how Liyan killed Zhong Hu in his previous life, and how Chen Xingniang tried to poison herself. After that, the original indifference became Killing intent.
Tiancuiyuan was just a coincidence, if the Chen family didn't get caught up in it, they would eliminate the troubles at once.
