An Zhixian raised his hand to refill Lin Jinyan's tea. The back of his hand with clear joints showed faint veins:
"It is Mr. An who should be thanked. I have benefited a lot from playing chess with the Taifu. The Taifu has a broad mind and is knowledgeable. I feel comfortable and casual when getting along with him. His whole person becomes calmer and more open-minded."
The Second Prince's Mansion.
Listening to Zhong Yi's reply, Chu Chengyao frowned:
"Is it that Nightmare House again?"
Zhong Yi: "Yes, Miss Lin stayed in there for half an hour before she came out with two cans of tea. After leaving Yehouhou, she went to the cloth village where she settled the refugees for a while, and then went straight back to her house. Because What happened in the past few years, I didn’t dare to let the people below get too close, I just watched from a distance.”
"The Gu family and Mrs. Lin... all seem to have a close relationship with the young master of this teahouse. Chengyi Yanling and the fourth child seem to be regular visitors to this teahouse, as well as Qin Xian from Yushitai and Pingyang Hou Shizi Feng Sinian. ... Now Lin Jinyan has just returned to Tai'an and went to this teahouse on the second day after leaving. It seems that this teahouse is really not simple."
Zhong Yi: "I'm sorry for my stupidity, but I didn't see the difference in this teahouse. General Anbei and Young Master Gu have been friends with the young master of Hou Yehou for many years. Taifu Lin and Yushi Qin are family friends, and they are out of the family." A well-known tea lover. His Royal Highnesses and Prince Pingyang have a close relationship with each other and often stay with the young prince. As for the princess, no one in Tai'an city knows that she likes to stay with the second young master Gu. When Miss Lin comes back, she will give it to her mother-in-law. It makes sense for Fu to buy some tea."
Chu Chengyao: "Everything seems reasonable, but when you think about it carefully, you feel strange. In previous years, Taifu Lin and Qin Xian went to each other's house when they got together, and they have never been heard of drinking tea outside. Even if Yan Ling went there for Gu Yichen, but Although Laosi and Chengyi look kind, they have the arrogance of royals in their hearts, and ordinary people cannot stand in their eyes. Since Feng Sinian got married to Qin Zhixu, except for necessary occasions, he did not see other people at all on weekdays. film……"
Zhong Yi thought for a moment and said: "Master, do you think the owner of this teahouse is not simple? But my subordinates checked it a few years ago. They are ordinary businessmen from Zhangzhou who came to Beijing. There is nothing wrong with him."
Chu Chengyao narrowed his eyes slightly: "The identity may be ordinary, but the person... may not necessarily be so."
In the middle of the night, the gates of Tai'an City were wide open, and the weather that had been gloomy for two days was cloudless today. The people got the letter and spread it from one to another. They gathered on both sides of the main street early in the morning and looked forward to it.
The city guards lined up on both sides of the main street to block the swarming people.
The people approaching the city gate saw the large group of people shaking outside the city from a distance, and they couldn't help shouting in joy:
"Here they come! General Gu and the others are back!"
"Where is it?"
"General Gu!"
"General Anbei!"
At first it was just excited and chaotic shouting, but in the end no one knew who started it, and all the people shouted in unison:
"The Dingbei Army is invincible in every battle!"
"The Dingbei Army is invincible in every battle!"
"The Dingbei Army is invincible in every battle..."
Seeing the princes and officials from the Six Ministries greeting the Dingbei Army at the gate of the city, the Gu family and their soldiers got off their horses and stepped forward to salute.
Within the city walls, the people's shouts grew louder and louder.
The prince personally stepped forward to help Gu Hongzhang up: "General Gu, please get up quickly! The Dingbei Army's victory in this battle has stabilized the people's sentiments and the situation, and it is really indispensable! Father specially ordered us to come to take the general into the palace."
