The rain had already subsided, and when it was close to dusk, the sky was clear, and the carriages went out and went back along the road, expecting to reach home before dark.

"Brother Liu, Brother Zhang, be careful on the road. ”

"Brother Zhao, please go back. ”

"Walk slowly. ”

Seeing off the last group of guests, Zhao Yuanjing stepped up the steps again, looked at the few carriages that were gradually moving away, and the expression on his handsome face was a little complicated.

"Master?" Seeing that Zhao Yuanjing was standing there and not moving, the servant beside him stepped forward and called softly.

Zhao Yuanjing turned around and walked inside, while saying to the servant, "Close the door." ”

"No. The servant answered.

After Zhao Yuanjing walked into the gate, the servant closed the door from the inside and locked it at the same time.

When he turned around, Zhao Yuanjing had already walked away.

"It's a little strange today, it's still raining on this day, and I don't even take an umbrella. When the servant saw the umbrella fall aside, he picked it up and held it in his hand, and said to himself.

"Smack!" Someone tapped him on the shoulder, startling the servant, and when he turned to look, he saw the old servant standing behind him.

"Uncle Zhou, you can scare me to death!"

The old servant looked at him angrily and reprimanded: "Tell you not to arrange the master behind your back, it is light to scare you, let me hear it next time, be careful of your skin." ”

"Uncle Zhou, I don't dare anymore. Stroking his chest, the servant begged for mercy.

Uncle Zhou regarded these servants in the mansion as his juniors, and he would not really pursue the matter, and when he saw that the other party showed remorse, he said: "Now that the stove is busy, why don't you go there to help?"

"Just go, just go......"

After the servant ran away, Uncle Zhou looked in the direction where the master had just gone, sighed secretly, turned around and bent his waist slightly, and walked towards the backyard.

What is his master busy with these days, although he doesn't know, but he has also guessed a few points, and has the heart to persuade the master to think twice, but he feels that the master is right, the surname is left to the master, something really happened, it's a big deal to follow the master to die together.

Besides, Zhao Yuanjing, drenched in the drizzle, walked quickly into the small flower hall of Shicai, and saw that there were maids and servants in the hall cleaning up, he didn't pay much attention to it, and went upstairs directly to Chen Qing's room.

After knocking on the door, Chen Qing opened the door and let him in.

"All of them have been sent away. Sitting at the square table, Zhao Yuanjing picked up the teapot, poured himself a cup of tea, drank two sips, moistened his throat, and then took a long breath and said with a sigh: "I feel very happy to meet friends with Yiwen in Ping, but today is the first time I feel nervous." ”

"They should have noticed it, right?" Chen Qing sat across from him, tapping his fingers on the edge of the table a few times, looking up at Zhao Yuanjing, and asked.

Zhao Yuanjing nodded and said: "These people who came, all of them are smart people, they have guessed my intentions this time, and a few of them have already had the intention of following the king of Chu, but other people did not express their position directly, and they talked about something......

Speaking of this, there is some understanding, after all, this thing is quite risky to do, and if you don't really go to it, it will be difficult to make up your mind.

"Will these people who have not made up their minds report to the official?" Chen Qing stood up and walked back and forth in the room, his tone somewhat solemn: "These people have been screened and invited by you, but it is inevitable that no one will ......"

"No, they won't. Zhao Yuanjing shook his head and said with great certainty.

Chen Qing raised his eyebrows: "How can you see it?"

"You don't know that these people who have come are not ordinary people. These dozens of people, first, have a very good relationship with me, at least for a few years. The second is that they are all from the Wu Di family and know how to have a powerful relationship, such people, do you think they will report to the official?"

After a pause, he smiled again: "If you are from a cold background, but you don't know your face, you don't know your heart."

Chen Qing thought for a while, and suddenly realized: "If that's the case, you really don't have to worry." ”

The two of them are also children of a family, so they naturally understand that they are born in a family and have a lot of scruples, not only to take care of their own future, but also to take into account the rise and fall of the family.

But if you come from a cold background and want to fight for a background, it is difficult to say, even if you have a good temperament, you are not safe.

"You wait for the good news, as long as a few people are willing to do this, it can be regarded as a credit. Zhao Yuanjing said seriously.

"Thank you. Chen Qing and he have been friends for many years, so naturally they will not act pretentiously, they smiled when they heard this, and thanked him, but they were very moved in their hearts, this time it was Zhao Yuanjing who helped him with his surname, and he wanted to go back and tell him about it.

Besides, these people on the road, one by one, are in mixed moods.

The events at the banquet had a great impact on them, as Zhao Yuanjing said, they were all smart people, and naturally they already understood what Zhao Yuanjing meant.

On the way home, Huang Maocai sat in the carriage, the drizzle was falling outside, the sky was overcast, and his mood was not sunny.

In addition, he drank more wine at that time, and as the carriage continued to shake slightly, the feeling of nausea in his chest was surging up for a while, and he couldn't stand it.

"Stop! stop!" he suddenly shouted inside.

Let the carriage stop on the side of the road, and as soon as I got the carriage, I immediately vomited for a while, which was comfortable.

"Young master, you don't matter, right?" The coachman didn't know what was going on, and when he saw this movement, he hurriedly came over to ask.

"It's okay, it's just that some alcohol is rising, so let's keep going. Waving his hand, Huang Maocai said slowly.

Keeping up his waist, the breeze blowing in front of him, mixed with some drizzle, made his mind much clearer and his stomach better.

With the help of the coachman, he got back into the carriage, and the coachman raised his whip again and urged the carriage to move quickly.

After a long time, Huang Maocai slept in the carriage for a while, had nightmares all the way, and was about to achieve the failure of today's banquet, when Wei Yue knew that someone had sent someone to arrest him, he woke up in shock.

Looking outside, the carriage stopped.

The surrounding scenery is very familiar, isn't this the gate of the Yellow Mansion?

"Already home?"

"Young master, I just arrived at the gate of the mansion, and I will walk into the door in a while, you can wait for a while. The driver in front of him said.

Huang Mao said weakly: "When you call me, you can." ”

His mind was in turmoil right now, and he was quite annoyed that if he hadn't gone to this meeting today, he wouldn't have done any of these things.

But when it comes to the end, I have to think about the consequences.

Thinking of the nightmare he had just had, his face was even more ugly, so much so that after getting out of the car, the entourage who came to greet him was startled.

The young master went out for a trip and came back with such an ugly face?

"Young Master, you...... Are you alright?" asked a personal servant quietly.

Huang Maocai listened, and glared: "Young master, what can I do?"

He entered his courtyard and entered the main house, and ordered the maid to prepare clean clothes for him, and after a brief wash, he changed out of his clothes that smelled of wine, and after dressing up neatly, he went out of the room.

"Can the master be in the hall now?" walked to his father's courtyard, saw a servant passing by, and hurriedly asked.

"Young master, the master is drinking tea in the hall. The servant said.

"Alright, you go down. ”

"No. ”

After a little tidying, Huang Mao walked towards the living room, and when he arrived at the door of the hall, he was about to speak, when he heard his father's voice from inside: "But Mao'er is back?"

"Yes, father. ”

"Come in, my father has something to ask you. ”

"No. Huang Maocai slowly walked into the hall, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw his father sitting upright, looking at him with a sinking face.

"Father. Because of something in his heart, Huang Mao immediately lowered his head.

"Ask you for your father, did you go to Ugin Lane today?" Father Huang couldn't see his joy or anger, and asked about it when he opened his mouth.

"Exactly...... Father, the child is about to report this to you!" Huang Mao raised his head and said anxiously.

"Speak slowly, what kind of panic does it look like like this?" Father Huang reprimanded.

was reprimanded by his father like this, Huang Maocai calmed down, and then told his father everything he saw and heard in Wujin Lane, without hiding anything at all.

After Father Huang heard this, he immediately fell silent.

Huang Maocai stood in front of his father, waiting for the other party's lecture.

After a while, I heard Father Huang ask, "What did you answer?"

Back to his father's words, how dare the child easily admit this, pretending to be stupid at the time, just drinking, drunk, and never expressed his position. Huang Maocai replied.

Father Huang sighed, and didn't say anything, just waved his hand and ordered his son to go out first.

"You, since you have chosen this way, let's think about it behind closed doors for a few days first, and don't mix this matter. ”

"Yes, father. Huang Maocai felt a little strange in his heart, he originally thought that he had caused trouble by going out this time, but now listening to this tone, it was a little subtle, and he was puzzled and retreated.

After Huang Maocai's figure disappeared at the gate of the courtyard, he saw a person walking out from behind the screen of this flower hall.

This person is somewhat similar to Huang's father's facial features, and as soon as he came out, he asked, "Big brother, aren't you going to report this matter to the government?"

"Of course not, let them go. Father Huang shook his head and said: "No matter what, it's always good to leave a way back, flowers are not red, people are not good, if you do things well, it will bring trouble to the family in the future, you always understand this truth." ”

"Does that big brother also think ......?"

Father Huang said lightly: "If Mao'er had agreed at that time, I would have been willing to fight, but if I didn't agree, it would have been okay, I couldn't follow the dragon, and it would be good to have a peace." ”

Hearing this, if Huang Maocai agreed at that time, the Huang family would also be willing to join the camp of the King of Chu.

Wei Yue was greatly disappointed, Huang's father had been operating in Wu for many years, although he had not learned from more than a dozen families, and moved the entire family with him, but he was not very optimistic about this former general who usurped the throne and became the emperor.

Although the king of Chu may not necessarily achieve the final victory, he must always leave a way back for the family.

This truth is not only understood by Huang's father, but also by his brother.

After listening to his brother's words, the man said no more.

On the same night, this scene appeared in several other houses one after another.

In fact, Chen Qing's activities could not be concealed, and none of the people who attended the banquet were dull, but in the face of this situation, many people chose to remain silent.
