"I think it's okay."

Zeng Shichun shook his head and said, "Although Lord Chen and Hou Ye Li have some old grudges, what kind of person is he, how could he use such means to retaliate against you?" ”

"I think so." Chen Chong nodded and swallowed the whole dumpling.

Zeng Shichun smiled, picked up a dumpling, and a smile appeared on his face, and after putting it in his mouth, the smile on his face froze.

Swallowing the mouthful of dumplings with difficulty, Zeng Shichun put down his chopsticks, looked at Chen Chong, and said, "Lord Chen, this dumpling ------ seems to be really raw." ”

A quarter of an hour later, the two returned to their original positions.

Who would have thought that the two court officials would personally do the thing of making fire and boiling water for a few half-baked dumplings.

"Lord Chen, your face ......"

"Hehe, Zeng Shilang is not much better."

"Let him go, and I'll talk about it when I'm done."

……

Zeng Shichun picked up a dumpling and dipped it in vinegar, then asked: "If I remember correctly, today should be the birthday of the third lady, and Lord Chen is not in the mansion, why did he come here?" ”

Chen Chong ate the dumplings and said expressionlessly: "After the ya, Lord Zeng didn't go home, whether he was aware of the people's feelings or ......?"

He glanced inside the room and said in surprise: "Could it be that the girl surnamed Zeng is the illegitimate daughter of Lord Zeng's left behind people, not to mention, thinking about it like this, how do I think that Lord Zeng and her, between their eyebrows, are actually ......?"

"If Lord Chen has nothing to do in the future, don't come here."

Zeng Shichun interrupted him, glanced at him, and said: "If there is something ......, Lord Chen is in charge of affairs, and he is busy with political affairs, what is the matter, you need to come to this small Yangliu Lane, you say yes?" ”

Chen Chong put down his chopsticks, his eyes narrowed slightly, "Zeng Shilang, what do you mean by this?" ”

Zeng Shichun put down his chopsticks and looked at him, "Zeng......

, and Zhao Guangyuan, the former waiter of the Criminal Department, have some personal relationships. ”

"Zhao Guangyuan, the former servant of the Criminal Department, is still being detained in the prison for accepting bribes and committing favoritism for personal gain...... Chen Chong's eyes flashed with danger, and he said in a low voice: "What is the connection between this and what Lord Zeng said?" ”

"It's normal that Lord Chen doesn't admit this matter, because even if it's Zhao Shilang of the Criminal Department, the one who fell is confused, and I don't know that the person behind it is actually Lord Chen." Zeng Shichun shook his head and said, "Zeng Mou said these words, he didn't mean anything else, he just wanted to tell Lord Chen a ......."

His eyes looked into the room, a warm color flashed on his face, and when he turned his head, there was already a slight chill in his eyes.

"Stay away from drunken ink!"

……

Chen Chong's eyes froze, and he said word by word: "Zeng Shichun, are you threatening me?" ”

"Don't dare."

Zeng Shichun's face had regained his calmness, he arched his hand, and said: "Behind Lord Chen is the Guogong Mansion, how dare Zeng threaten Lord Chen, it's just that drunken ink is the only blood and blood left by my eldest brother in the world, I can't let her do anything else, although the Zeng family's business is small, but if Lord Chen insists, the Guogong Mansion, I'm afraid it won't be happy......"

"Your eldest brother, Zeng Shijie?" Chen Chong glanced at him and muttered, "I see......

He picked up the chopsticks again, shook his head, and said: "Back then, I felt that you wanted you to be more suitable for being an official than your eldest brother, when the Zeng family was suppressed and squeezed out by the former household servant, and then was framed and moved to pay silver, the Zeng family's descendants suffered ......, no wonder, no wonder, later the former household servant was found to have accepted a large amount of bribes by the imperial history platform, and was sentenced to five hundred miles in exile, I am afraid that this Huangquan Road is more than five hundred miles......

Zeng Shichun shook his head and said, "Only Fang Shilang himself knows this. ”

Chen Chong ate a dumpling again, and said casually: "That matter, the secret spy department has not found out yet, how do you know?" ”

Zeng Shichun smiled and did not speak.

"I thought that Lord Zeng had gone from a small household head to his current position step by step, relying on the support of the Cui family and the King of Shu, ......, it seems that I underestimated Lord Zeng." Chen Chong shook his head, raised his chopsticks and said, "To apologize, come, I salute you a dumpling!" ”

Zeng Shichun also picked up his chopsticks, nodded and said, "Thank you, Lord Chen." ”

The invisible confrontation between the two just now was resolved because of these two dumplings.

For them, there are some things, needless to say, that have already reached a consensus on that dumpling.

Chen Chong was eating dumplings, but his eyes glanced at the house from time to time, from here he could vaguely see the situation in the house, although he couldn't hear the content of the conversation clearly, but the woman's chuckle from time to time was still very clear.

Chen Chong's gaze stopped on the white-haired woman's face, she was smiling and saying something to the woman beside her, this smile ------ he hadn't seen on her face for a long time.

Even if he holds a sensational birthday banquet in Kyoto for her every year, in terms of grandeur and luxury, even Cui Guifei's birthday banquet cannot be compared, and he has never seen such a smile on her face.

Of course, she also laughs a lot, but that kind of smile, he looks, is even more sad.

The next moment, his gaze fell on the only young man in the room.

Zeng Shichun's gaze was also in the house, but it fell on another woman.

The little girl who would only follow him back then, shouting "Second Uncle" and "Second Uncle", has become like this.

The eldest brother used to complain about him, complaining that he was too used to her, which caused his daughter to be closer to his second uncle than to his father......

It's just that he hasn't heard that "second uncle" for thirteen years.

Zeng Shichun sighed in his heart, and his eyes also looked at the young man.

The gazes of both of them were extremely complicated.

At a certain moment, when the eyes of the two were withdrawn, they met in the air.

"There are some things, when there are many people, it is difficult to speak." Zeng Shichun finished eating the last dumpling and put down his chopsticks.

Chen Chong picked up another dumpling, "Zeng Shilang said it was okay." ”

"Master Chen thinks that the possibility of the success of the King of Shu is still geometric?"

Chen Chong's chopsticks were about to be put into his mouth, and when he heard this, his body was shocked, and he put the dumpling back into the bowl.

is also the core figure of the King of Shu's family, and it is very normal for two people to analyze the current situation and work for the King of Shu, but each of them knows that this time is completely different from the past.

Chen Chong said in a low voice: "When the King of Shu was in Beijing, what he did had already chilled countless supporters in the court, and those who wavered were afraid that they would also lose that kind of thought. ”

Zeng Shichun said: "The academy will be relied on by the imperial court in the future, Qin Shangshu has said bluntly many times that the household department will absorb more talents from the academy in the future, but in the academy, there is no one in the Shu king's line, and the person in charge is the king of Jin......"

"The accounts are checked, and the power of the Shu King and the Cui clan in the court has almost been completely cleansed, and the decades-old arrangement has been ruined......"

"The Cui clan was almost destroyed by the merchants of Fanbang, and the academy could not be interfered with, and it was unpopular with the people, and Qin Xiang's attitude was vague recently......"

"The most terrible thing is Your Majesty's attitude, the eldest princess is temporarily in charge of the government, and on Cui Guifei's birthday, the king of Shu is not allowed to return to Beijing......"

"But if the king of Shu is defeated and the new emperor succeeds to the throne, how will the Chen family deal with themselves in the future, and how will the Zeng family deal with themselves......"

……

The voices of the two of them became lower and lower, and their faces became more and more somber.

In the hall, Li Yi brought over a bowl of hand-cooked longevity noodles and said with a smile: "I wish you a happy birthday." ”

Such birthday greetings were simply sloppy, but Miss Chen San was full of smiles, took the small bowl from his hand, held his hand, and nodded: "Okay, good ......"
