In the bustling capital city, there are hawkers coming and going constantly, and there are also jugglers on the streets.
Chen Ke was walking in this prosperous capital city, but he felt extremely lonely. He couldn't see the sun but no old friends.
Is Gu Yuanjiang considered an old friend? Of course not, the baby kiss was just a verbal agreement. With Wang Bokun gone, Gu Yuanjiang would not care about the baby kiss.
If it weren't for the fact that Chen Ke was now in an official position and became a talent in the eyes of the emperor, Gu Yuanjiang might never have come to see Chen Ke in his life.
The reality is so cruel, but also so real.
"When you are poor in the busy city, no one cares about you, but when you are rich in the mountains, you have distant relatives." Chen Ke can also understand the sophistication of people today. He doesn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Unconsciously, I walked back to the inn where I was originally staying. The innkeeper leaned against the door. When he saw Chen Ke, he smiled and asked, "Brother Chen, are you still staying in the hotel? I'll keep the room for you."
Chen Ke shook his head and said, "I can't hold it in any longer. I don't need it anymore."
"That's really a pity." said the shopkeeper.
"It is indeed a regret." Chen Ke raised his head and smiled, "A lifelong regret."
As they walked, a group of cars in front of them drove them away. Chen Ke got out of the way and saw a familiar person.
Princess Jinde's car was heavily guarded, and people on the roadside gave way. The road was very wide, but no one dared to go with them.
Chen Ke had murderous intent in his eyes and retreated into the crowd.
"I heard that Princess Jinde died."
"No, he was killed by an adult from Jingzhao Mansion!"
"Well done. That prince-in-law is no longer a thing. This gentleman has really done a good thing."
Behind the crowd, two common people were talking quietly. When Chen Ke heard this, he felt a little comfort in his heart.
Chen Ke looked at the car driving away and thought to himself: "Princess Jinde, have you seen it? People say that the killing is good, and you will be next!"
In the afternoon, Chen Ke met Gu Lanshan again. She brought two good-looking young women and greeted Chen Ke with a smile.
"Brother Chen Ke, what a coincidence, we meet again." Gu Lanshan said with a sweet smile, very ladylike.
Chen Ke said: "What a coincidence."
Meeting once is a coincidence, seeing each other again is not a coincidence. Chen Ke is not a fool. The capital is so big. Why does an official lady from East Street always run to West Street? It's a problem when you think about it.
Gu Lanshan saw Chen Ke become silent, she smiled and said: "Brother Chen Ke, why don't you come with us to travel?"
Chen Ke glanced at the two girls beside Gu Lanshan who seemed to have something to ask. He refused and said, "Forget it, I still have official duties and I can't get away these days."
If he could marry Gu Lanshan, Chen Ke would have no objection. She has a good appearance and a good personality, but Chen Ke always feels that Gu Lanshan is not as simple as she seems on the surface.
Don't rush into friendship first, people's hearts are unpredictable, and let's see how it develops in the future.
Chen Ke said goodbye to a few people and headed towards the Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion.
The woman next to Gu Lanshan said: "Sister Lanshan, is this the husband-in-law that uncle told you about? He doesn't look too good, he just looks more handsome."
Gu Lanshan said: "You don't know that he is only twenty years old now and is already a third-class guard of the seventh rank."
"Seventh grade official." The two women had surprise in their eyes and were a little curious about Chen Ke.
At such a young age, he is not an ordinary person to be able to sit in the rank of seventh-rank official!
"Congratulations to Sister Lanshan, she will be the seventh-grade Imperial Lady when she gets married!"
According to the laws of the State of Zhao, wives of officials have the same rank as their husbands. The first to fifth grades are imperial wives, and the sixth to ninth grades are imperial wives.
Gu Lanshan said: "Where, there is not even a single stroke of the horoscope, so she can't be called the imperial wife."
However, the smile on Gu Lanshan's face could not be stopped.
How many people are just ordinary people who marry, but to be able to marry a young man and become a royal husband is like finding a treasure.
After sitting in the Yamen for half a day, Chen Ke returned to the ruined temple and continued to practice meditation in the evening, breathing in the spiritual energy from heaven and earth.
The next day, Chen Ke went to the Yamen.
At noon, Guard Bai hurried by and saw Chen Ke. He smiled and said, "My lord saw you bored in the room. I was afraid that you would be depressed, so I asked you to patrol the streets and strictly investigate lawlessness."
"Street patrol?" Chen Ke said, "Okay."
Chen Ke changed into a police officer's uniform. After putting it on, he walked out of the yamen. A police officer later went to Chen Ke's room and found no one there. After asking, he found out that Chen Ke had gone to patrol the streets alone.
"Yes, Mr. Chen Ke has left early, let's follow him."
This team of officers also walked out of the Yamen and went to patrol the streets.
Chen Ke thought he was patrolling the streets alone, but he actually asked him to lead a patrol.
Chen Ke walked on the street, looking left and right. The people around him didn't react at all to the police officers. Chen Ke felt that if it were in their Shanyin County, the people on the street would want to hide away when they saw the police officers.
As he walked, Chen Ke saw two women walking towards him on the street in front of him. One was dressed in white like snow, and the other was dressed in green.
The woman in green looks pretty, with dark eyebrows and big eyes, and she looks very lively.
The woman in white has willow leaves and dark eyebrows, a pair of slightly cold phoenix eyes, a high nose bridge, and a thin red lip. With soft eyes, she looked at the stalls around her.
"Senior sister, this ordinary Zhao country is really good, there are many people." The woman in green said with a smile.
The woman in white said: "This is the capital city of a country, and its prosperity must be far beyond that of ordinary towns."
Chen Ke couldn't help but look twice. The woman in green glared at Chen Ke. Chen Ke responded indifferently and raised his eyebrows as a greeting.
Passed by.
"Senior sister, that little catcher was looking at us just now." The woman in green said with a frown.
"Okay, if others want to see it, let them see it. We are indispensable. As long as we don't mess around, it doesn't matter. We are practitioners, so don't care about these ordinary people." The woman in white comforted the woman in green.
After walking for a while and visiting some markets, the woman in green looked at a restaurant and said, "Let's go try some food from Zhao."
"Are there too many people here..." The woman in white hesitated as she looked at the people coming and going inside. She doesn't like places that are too busy and feels like this is not a suitable place.
The woman in green clothes said coquettishly: "Senior sister, the food is delicious in places with many people. Listen to me and let's go!"
The woman in green pulled the woman in white into the restaurant.
"Elegant room." The woman in green said.
"No!" said the waiter.
"Ordinary single room."
"No."
"Nothing like this, nothing like that, how can we eat."
"There is still an open space there, and Mr. Chen is about to finish his meal. You two go and wait first." The waiter pointed to the table next to him.
The woman in white looked over and found someone already on the table, "It's the little catcher."
"Hmph, we won't eat, what a shabby place." said the woman in green.
The woman in white said with a smile: "Forget it, there is still a place, let's go there. That person is almost finished eating, we will just wait."
"Okay then." The woman in green followed the woman in white and sat down at Chen Ke's seat.
The table is large, rectangular, and can seat three people on both sides. Chen Ke sat on the left, and the woman in white and the woman in green sat on the right, with empty seats in between.
"It's you!"
The woman in green saw Chen Ke's face and recognized him. This was not the little detective who just peeked at the two of them!
Chen Ke was a little surprised to see these two people, but the food here is cheap, the portions are affordable, and there are many people here, so it is normal to meet these two people.
"Hello, how can I help you?" Chen Ke asked.
The woman in green said: "Others are of little help, but you need to pay more attention to the prostitutes on the street. Staring at other girls is too rude. It's best to put them in jail and beat them up."
"Ahem..." Chen Ke coughed twice and said, "Girl, I am indeed rude. I have never seen a woman as beautiful as you, who looks just like the fairy in the painting."
"Hmph." The woman in green curled her lips and said, "I guess you are discerning, so let's forget it this time for the sake of your apology."
Chen Ke smiled at the woman in green and the woman in white. The woman in green tilted her head to express contempt. The woman in white smiled gently, her eyes full of tenderness.
It's not that she is gentle to Chen Ke, but that she is very gentle at first glance.
Stunning beauty, as gentle as jade.
Chen Ke thought to himself that if such a woman were married into the family, she would wake up from her dreams with a smile.
"The saliva is flowing out." The woman in green woke Chen Ke from his daydream.
Chen Ke wiped the corners of his mouth subconsciously, but found nothing.
"Hahaha..." The woman in green laughed.
The woman in white also lowered her head slightly and chuckled, making Chen Ke giggle along with her.
"Silly detective, you're quite interesting. What's your name?" the woman in green asked teasingly.
"My name is Chen Ke, and I am a servant of Jingzhao Mansion. You are not from the capital, right. If you need help, you can come to Jingzhao Mansion to see me." Chen Ke said.
"Thank you, Mr. Chen." The woman in white nodded slightly.
"What are your names?" Chen Ke asked.
The woman in green rolled her eyes and said, "I won't tell you."
"Uh..." Chen Ke was speechless. The girl in green clothes was really naughty. Although she was very beautiful, she had a very out-of-touch personality.
After Chen Ke finished eating, he said goodbye to the two of them and turned to leave. The woman in green shouted: "If we meet again in the future, I will tell you."
"I know." Chen Ke smiled and walked out of the restaurant. The Yamen reimbursed him for eating today, which was not bad.
The two big men who were already drooling at the sight saw Chen Ke, the official, leaving, and immediately sat over with bowls and chopsticks.
"Get away!"
The woman in green glared at the two of them.
The two big men felt a chill on their backs. The woman in green seemed to be able to kill them, and she immediately sat back down holding the bowl in her arms.
"You are so ugly, yet you dare to sit with us." The woman in green snorted.
On the second floor of the inn, Gu Lanshan looked ugly. The woman next to her said, "It seems that Sister Lanshan's husband is going to be snatched away!"
"No, they are just two passers-by, and they are so beautiful, so they must not like him." Gu Lanshan said calmly. Under the table, she pinched her sleeves with her hands.
"It seems we have to clarify the relationship. Otherwise, if there is a woman in white today, there will be a girl in red tomorrow!"
A cold look flashed in Gu Lanshan's eyes. The person she liked couldn't just run away like this!
