Chen Luo stretched himself. It was already three o'clock in the morning, and the sound of Ji Zhong's chanting scriptures could be heard faintly in the yard.
"He is a good boy who loves to study!" Chen Luo nodded and listened attentively. It seemed that the fourth senior brother was still giving advice, "Asshole, the tutor who is a great scholar in the right state of mind has been prostituted for nothing by that boy again."
Chen Luo got up from the bed and got dressed. Speaking of which, it was originally arranged for Lu Tong to buy some servants back, but Chen Xuan was going to Beijing soon, so it would be better to simply wait for two days and let Chen Xuan make arrangements.
Chen Luo looked inside his body, and the effect of the supplement was indeed outstanding. Just yesterday, the red dust energy in his body had returned to its previous peak reserve. Chen Luo didn't waste any time, and sat cross-legged directly to transport the red dust energy into the acupoints. middle.
"Ding--"
Chen Luo thought to himself, the first acupoint is full!
"It's so cool!"
Now he is also a master with one skill!
It's no problem to beat a dozen ordinary people!
…
While having breakfast at noon, Lu Tong was serving Chen Luo food and said: "Uncle, in the morning the housekeeper of the Prime Minister's Mansion came to deliver a message, saying that the Prime Minister invited you to come to the house to pay a visit. Look at this greeting What is the etiquette?"
Chen Luo was stunned for a moment: "Military Prime Minister? Han Qingzhu?"
After thinking about it, the big boss seemed to have said that he wanted to meet again when he left. I thought it was a courtesy, but I didn't expect that he actually invited me to the door.
"Hasn't the Minister of War gone to Wanren City yet?" Chen Luo asked doubtfully.
Lu Tong explained: "The day for the Prime Minister's departure is set for the first day of the next month. During these days, the Prime Minister still needs to be in the capital to dispatch troops and generals and raise food and grass."
Chen Luo suddenly realized that Han Qingzhu was leading troops on an expedition, not traveling, so he naturally needed some time to prepare.
"Well, our family hasn't got any money yet, right?"
"Uncle Hui, your salary will be paid out next month. The real money for "Zhong Kui's Biography" will be paid out every three months. The income from "Min Bao" will be paid out on March 1 according to your and the academy's regulations. End. There is no expenditure in the house at the moment, so I don’t have a special accountant to hire."
"Then why send me a salute? It's a waste of money. Go get me a pen and ink!"
"yes!"
Hum, I don’t have enough money, so I’ll make up the money with poems.
I'm wondering, what poem would be better to prepare this time?
…
The carriage in the Earl's Palace creaked and creaked on Suzaku Avenue, and Ji Zhong thoughtfully took off the "Wan Anbo" mark.
I heard that after the supplement was released, more people threatened to kidnap Chen Luo.
Don't be too showy!
Han Qingzhu's mansion is next to the arsenal in Zhongjing, not far from Wan Anbo's mansion. It took about twenty minutes to wander to the door.
Ji Zhong got out of the car, knocked on the door, and handed over the greeting card. After a while, the middle door opened, and a heroic woman in her mid-twenties or so came out with several servants.
"Is this the Chen family brother here? Please come in quickly. Please come in quickly." The voice came first before anyone arrived. I saw the heroic woman walking to the door with a smile on her face and giving Chen Luofu a gift.
"I've met Sister Yunge." Chen Luo quickly returned the greeting.
Before coming, Lu Tong had told Chen Luo carefully that the wife of the Prime Minister died of illness ten years ago, and she had a son and a daughter, twins. His son Han Poman was guarding Feixia Pass, the most dangerous part of the Great Wall of Zhengqi. , and the person in front of her is his daughter Han Yunge.
In his early years, Han Yunge was engaged to Mo Fei, a disciple of Han Qingsong, the Prime Minister of War. Later, Mo Fei died in the only battle of the dynasty. Han Yunge swore never to marry, so he stayed with the Han family.
"I swear to wipe out the ferocious barbarians without regard for my own safety, and five thousand scholars will mourn the barbarians in dust."
"Poor nameless bones by the river, they are like those in a spring boudoir dream."
The saddest poem for a woman in the world is this.
Chen Luo originally wanted to call her "Ms. Yunge", but the other party's attitude was friendly, so he called her "Sister Yunge" instead. Han Yunge was even more happy when she heard this. She was originally a tiger girl who didn't care about the sour and polite manners. What's more, Chen Luo's youthful appearance and brilliant literary talent reminded her of her brother who had not returned from the border guard for seven or eight years.
"Poman was at this age when he left home!" A thought flashed through Yun Ge's mind, and he looked at Chen Luo more cordially. He directly reached out and grabbed Chen Luo's wrist and pulled him to the house.
"I have long heard that my father said that Xiao Luo has unparalleled literary talent. I heard those three elegant songs two days ago. My sister has long wanted to see you." Han Yunge said as he walked, "There are guests at home today, and it's hard for me to leave the table." , just send me to greet you. Don’t blame me..."
"Where?" Chen Luo was shocked, "I took the liberty. If it's inconvenient, I'll go back first and come back next time."
Chen Luo then thought that visiting a high-ranking family in this world was not just a visit to the countryside. He had to post a post first to clearly indicate the time of the visit and make it easier for the other party to prepare. It was equivalent to making an appointment. Didn’t Lu Tong say that before? The housekeeper of Han Mansion came to deliver the message, specifically stating these days, not the same day.
Only someone with a good family would come to the door so rashly.
"What a mistake!" Chen Luo sighed in his heart. Lu Tong must know this truth, but Lu Tong didn't know what his relationship was with Han Qingzhu, so he didn't stop him.
Little did he know that it was his move that made Han Yunge feel more friendly.
"You're already here, why are you going back?" A strong voice came from the main hall, and it was Han Qingzhu's voice. Han Yunge smiled slightly and led Chen Luo into the main hall.
Only then did Chen Luo see the distinguished guest Han Yunge was talking about. She turned out to be an old woman. She looked extremely old, but her eyes were full of sparkle.
The old woman was wearing a Taoist robe, her sparse hair was scattered casually, her eyebrows were as white as snow, hanging down, and she looked at Chen Luo with a kind smile.
"Hohohohohohoho, this is the Wan Anbo you mentioned, Xiaosong, right? He's a handsome boy." The old woman said hoarsely, opening her mouth to reveal half of her yellow teeth. There was a hint of satisfaction in his voice.
"Xiao Luo, this is the ancestor of Xianhu!" Han Yunge introduced at the side, "He is very senior in the Taoist sect. Even the contemporary great master Qingwei Daojun will call him 'Uncle Master' when he sees him."
Chen Luo was shocked, it turned out that this was the ancestor of Xianhu. Previously, he planned to ask for Mangu Dan, but later his senior brother "picked up" Xiao Yi Dou for him, so he canceled the trip.
Unexpectedly, we met here again.
"Young man Chen Luo, I have met the ancestor of the immortal gourd." Chen Luo quickly bowed and saluted.
The ancestor of Xianhu waved his hand: "I'm not an ancestor, I'm just a little older. You are a virtuous teacher of the Taoist sect, and you are the worshiper of my Taoist sect. You don't have to be so polite, just call me mother-in-law!"
Han Qingzhu smiled and said: "Sit down for a while. Ancestor and I still have a few words to talk about. You will have a meal at my place today and have a drink with me."
Chen Luo nodded, but he didn't think it was Han Qingzhu's negligence. My little reputation is nothing in front of Daxuan Four Prime Ministers. The other party directly introduced me into the main hall, treating me as a close junior.
When the elders are chatting, if the younger ones can listen by the side, it means they approve of it.
Chen Luo sat aside obediently, listening to the chat between Han Qingzhu and the Xianhu Patriarch, with a strange expression on his face.
It turns out that Han Qingzhu and Xianhu Ancestor were talking about supply transportation.
The Immortal Gourd Ancestor has eight thousand giant gourd demons under his account, and countless gourds and grandsons, all of whom have mastered the magical power of "hiding the world within their belly". Han Qingzhu hoped that the Fairy Gourd Ancestor could once again allocate 10% more gourd demons to transport baggage to the north.
But if this happens, the Xianhu Ancestor's Daxuan freight system will have problems.
It sounds like this Xianhu ancestor has almost monopolized half of the bulk cargo transportation market in the Daxuan Dynasty, and it is also a high-end market.
Good guy, is this a smooth sail?
The two bargained for a while and finally settled on 600 large gourd demons, with an additional quota of 3,000 small gourd demons.
As we talked about placing an order, the atmosphere finally became more relaxed. Han Qingzhu smiled and turned his head to look at Chen Luo, noticing a scroll in Chen Luo's hand.
"Boy, come to my house for a simple meal, why do you still bring the salutations with you? Take it back and take it back!"
"Uncle Han, I didn't bring any greetings." Chen Luo glanced at Han Yunge, decided to address Han Yunge according to his seniority, and said, "I just wrote a new poem, isn't it worth much?"
"What? New poem? Quick, quick, open it!"
Han Yunge and Ancestor Xianhu also cast curious glances.
Chen Luo smiled and took the scroll and handed it to Han Qingzhu.
Han Qingzhu untied the laces and opened the scroll, and the golden light of Yawen suddenly shined...
