The world of film and television starts from a young age

"Who?"

Cui Lin stepped back suddenly to the door, and shouted in a low voice.

However, no one responded to him, but his tense body still did not relax, and his vigilant eyes scanned the room.

After confirming that there was no one in the room, he was slightly relieved, but his expression was still extremely solemn. When he just entered the room, he found someone had come in.

The reason is very simple. There is an object hanging in front of the bed where he rests. Although it is in the dark, he can be sure that it is not his thing, and it is even less likely that it was hung by his servants.

Seeing the inexplicable thing, Cui Lin's expression kept changing, he was hesitating whether to call someone over to take a look.

But thinking that someone could deliver things to his room without anyone noticing, and still in this way, he felt a chill in his heart.

After hesitating for a long time, he finally gave up calling for someone, and walked into the house step by step, wanting to see what the thing appeared in his room.

He cautiously walked to the front of the object, and found that there was no danger, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then fixed his eyes on it.

"Ok?"

When Cui Lin saw the items clearly, his expression was startled. It turned out to be a scroll and a letter.

He picked up the envelope first.

After a while, he put down the letter with a look of shock and excitement, and opened the scroll...

…………

Zhongyonghou Mansion!

Today Zhou Chen returned to Hou's Mansion early, because he was invited by Xiao Qinyan to attend his birthday banquet at night, so he came back early and prepared to go to Xiao's Mansion.

"Master Hou, the birthday ceremony is ready."

"Well, what is it?"

Under the service of the maid, Zhou Chen got dressed and asked Zhou Huai who was next to him.

Although he cooperated with Xiao Qinyan, he didn't have a good impression of Xiao Qinyan. Of course, he didn't care about birthday gifts and so on, so he handed it over to Zhou Huai to prepare, so he really doesn't know Zhou Huai now. What have you prepared.

"Reporting to Lord Hou, it is a golden Buddha."

"Okay, got it, pack it up and get ready to go."

Zhou Chen didn't care too much, as long as he didn't lose face, he didn't care what he gave.

Sitting in the carriage, Zhou Chen fell into deep thought. The day before yesterday he sent the night banquet picture copied by Zhao Paner to Ke Zheng's mansion, and then secretly handed the real night banquet picture to Si Cui Lin's house in front of the palace, and also attached a letter.

He originally wanted to give the night banquet picture directly to Qi Mu, but he thought that Qi Mu was a deep-minded old man and might not be fooled, so he gave it to Cui Lin.

Cui Lin is the Commander Cui who appeared in the plot. He dealt with Gu Qianfan, and later assassinated Xiao Qinyan.

This person wanted to bring down Xiao Qinyan wholeheartedly, so he got this picture of a night banquet that could hit the queen and the queen party.

It's only been a day now, and people from Cui Lin and Qingliu's lineage must verify the authenticity of the night banquet picture, as well as the interest disputes behind it, so they won't be able to take action in a short while.

Anyway, he had already released the bait, and these people began to bite, and it was up to them when they went crazy.

Today is not a big day, but for Xiao Qinyan, today is different.

Today is not only his birthday banquet, but also a good day for him to show off his skills and bid farewell to his old rival Ke Zheng.

After today, Ke Zheng, his most feared opponent in the imperial court, will leave Tokyo. From then on, the imperial court will enter the era of his prime minister, Xiao Qinyan.

Because the government issued a decree, today's Xiao Mansion is extremely lively. The Secretary of Jiaofang almost sent all the elites to perform. The huge Xiao Mansion also has many guests.

It's just that Xiao Qinyan is now a gentleman, and most people are not qualified to visit. Many of them leave after giving congratulatory gifts. There are also many courtiers who don't want to have anything to do with Xiao Qinyan.

Zhou Chen didn't come early, and when he arrived at the Xiao Mansion, it was already getting dark.

As soon as Zhou Chen came, someone reported at the door immediately, and after a while, Xiao Qinyan came over with the housekeeper.

"Marquis Zhongyong, the old man has lost his way, and he has lost his way."

Xiao Qinyan, as the protagonist of the birthday banquet, and also the prince of the court, came to greet Zhou Chen in person, which was indeed a great deal of face.

Zhou Chen naturally returned the gift politely: "Mr. Xiao is serious. Today is Mr. Xiao's birthday banquet. I'm a step late. I'm sorry."

"Marquis Zhongyong is too polite, please."

With a big wave of his hand, Xiao Qinyan was about to invite Zhou Chen into the inner courtyard.

But at this moment, the person in charge of welcoming the guests at the door let out another loud cry.

"Ke Xianggong, Qi Mu and Qi Zhongcheng, An Guogong..."

I don't know if these people had negotiated with each other, but they arrived at Xiao's residence almost at the same time.

Xiao Qinyan's expression changed immediately, he apologized to Zhou Chen, and then greeted Zhou Chen with a smile on his face.

Zhou Chen didn't leave either, but stood where he was, quietly looking in the direction of the door.

Soon, he saw a familiar figure walking over, Xiao Qinyan walked beside him, smiling to greet him, Qi Mu and others followed behind.

"Ke Zheng, Mr. Ke."

There was a gleam in Zhou Chen's eyes.

When he took office as the commander of the deputy capital of the guards and army, Ke Xianggong had already been dismissed. Although he hadn't left Tokyo, he hadn't gone to court again, so he hadn't seen this former court meeting in several court meetings. mentor.

Today was the first time he met Ke Zheng in public.

Ke Zheng is about the same age as Xiao Qinyan, but he looks bigger and bigger than Xiao Qinyan. Xiao Qinyan has a more literati temperament, and although Ke Zheng is also a literati, he still gives off a gritty and indomitable aura like a warrior. .

It is obvious that Ke Zheng has been dismissed as prime minister now, and Xiao Qinyan has made him prime minister. It is a time of prosperity, but Ke Zheng's demeanor is no less than Xiao Qinyan's.

It could be seen that Ke Zheng and Xiao Qinyan did not deal with each other. Although Xiao Qinyan talked to him again, he just dealt with it hastily. On the contrary, when he saw Zhou Chen, he smiled.

"Ziheng!"

"Teacher!"

Zhou Chen bowed respectfully to Ke Zheng. Nowadays, he disdains the Qingliu of the imperial court, but he has [-]% respect for Ke Xianggong, the real leader of Qingliu, let alone the other party who has helped him. , is his mentor.

Ke Zheng put his hand on Zhou Chen's shoulder, looked at Zhou Chen, and admired him all over his face: "Well, you are doing well, you did not disappoint the old man."

Of course, he was well aware of what happened to Zhou Chen back then, but there were too many interests involved in it, so even he couldn't help Zhou Chen.

Fortunately, Zhou Chen's growth did not disappoint him. Although he failed to make contributions in the civil service line, he managed to truly protect his family and country and guard the border.

He considers himself pure, but as long as he has made meritorious service to the imperial court, he will give his full support to those who are capable and capable.

He is different from Xiao Qinyan, an ambitious man who is more for his own power. He thinks more about the situation of the whole world. That's why he strongly opposes the queen party. The prince supervised the country, thus offending the queen, and finally ended up being demoted.

Zhou Chen replied respectfully: "The teacher's teachings, the disciples never dare to forget."

Ke Zheng praised: "Okay, as long as you can remember the words of being a teacher and remember the word "strength", you are worthy of being my disciple of Ke Zheng."

Xiao Qinyan interrupted suddenly: "As soon as Lime Yin comes out, who in the world doesn't know Ke Xiang and Ke Xiang's disciple Zhongyonghou?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone around them agreed again and again.

Zhou Chen's chant of lime really caused a great commotion once it was born.

On the one hand, this poem is really far-reaching, and on the other hand, it is because this poem praises Ke Zheng, Ke Xianggong, who is a celebrity in the world.

Under the leadership of Xiao Qinyan, a group of people came to the main courtyard in a mighty manner, and then walked into the main hall to rest and wait for the birthday banquet to begin.

Most of the guests who came to congratulate Xiao Qinyan on his birthday today were first-rate civil servants, such as Zhou Chen, an honorable military officer, besides Zhou Chen, there was only one An Guogong.

So naturally, Zhou Chen sat with An Guogong.

An Guogong is also a maverick in the Xungui family. He is obviously a state prince, but he likes to be romantic, likes to write and write, and likes to squeeze into the circle of literati.

Although An Guogong holds the title of Duke of the State, in fact, his status in the court is not high, mainly because of the virtue of his ancestors, coupled with his mediocre ability, so the current An Guogong's mansion, in terms of strength And background, not as good as Zhou Chen's Zhongyonghou Mansion.

"Marquis Zhongyong, that Lime Song of yours is really well written. When you have time, come to my house and get together. Let's discuss it together."

Seeing Duke An who was getting close, Zhou Chen's face remained unchanged, but he felt a little disgusted in his heart, and he just dealt with it with his mouth.

There were still shouts outside the courtyard, there were too many gift-givers, the servants of the Xiao Mansion were carrying birthday presents one after another, they were extremely busy.

While dealing with Duke An, Zhou Chen observed other people, especially Qi Mu, who was always paying attention.

But this Qi Mu is indeed a bit of a city mansion, since he came to the Xiao mansion, he is like an invisible person, barely making a sound, sitting quietly in the lower seat of Ke Zheng.

"I've seen Zhongyonghou!"

Suddenly, a smiling man walked up to Zhou Chen and greeted him with a smile.

"Master Lei."

This is Lei Jing, the current boss of the Imperial City Division. He is also one of the more prominent characters in the plot, and his appearance highlights a survivability.

Insidious and cunning, greedy, double-decker...

It is no exaggeration to say that there are many negative words to describe this Lei Jinglei company, but I have to admit that this guy's life-saving ability is really not bad, and he can get in touch with many factions.

For such a person, as long as there is no conflict of interest, Zhou Chen's principle is not to reject, not to approach, but not to be hostile.

Lei Jing enthusiastically approached Zhou Chen: "I heard from Deputy Envoy Gu that he has a good relationship with you, Lord Hou, so I have always wanted to visit Lord Hou, but it is a pity that I have never had this opportunity. Today I can talk to Lord Hou. It's a certain family's luck to be seated together."

"Lord Lei, you are being polite. We are officials in the same dynasty, regardless of each other, so we should be close."

"What Lord Hou said is true."

Seeing that Zhou Chen was so easy to talk to, Lei Jing immediately became more excited. Zhou Chen is now a new nobleman in the court, so he naturally wanted to get closer.

Now that he has secretly hooked up with Xiao Qinyan, and has contact with Qi Mu, if he builds a good relationship with a noble representative like Zhou Chen, then his position in the court will be extremely stable in the future.

The side courtyard is the resting and preparation place for many official prostitutes who will be performing by the Jiaofang Division. Song Yinzhang is standing in front of the window with his pipa in his arms, looking towards the main hall.

Zhang, who was arranging his makeup, saw it carefully and walked over slowly.

"Sister Yinzhang, what are you looking at? The people sitting in the courtyard are either important officials of the court or famous people, they are not accessible to us."

Shocked, Song Yinzhang hurriedly said, "I didn't see anything, good lady."

Zhang Hao said with a smile: "It's normal for you to be curious. After all, you have never seen such a scene before. The birthday banquet of Mr. Xiao today is slightly smaller than the birthday banquet of the Eight Great Kings. Ordinary people don't even want to see it." Chance."

Having said that, she couldn't help but raise her head proudly.

Compared with others, her advantage is very obvious. She has even seen the officials, and even performed in front of the officials, and was praised by the officials and bestowed with colorful clothes.

"You don't have to be nervous later, just follow me, and I will remind you."

Song Yinzhang said gratefully: "Thank you, sister."

Zhang Haohao smiled slightly, and was about to speak, when suddenly a cry of "imperial decree arrived" came from outside the door.

"The imperial decree has arrived, please accept it."

As soon as they heard Cui's servant's shout, everyone in the hall walked to the courtyard, and Xiao Qinyan took his son to the front.

Cui Neishi unfolded the imperial decree in his hand, Xiao Qinyan and his son knelt down to receive the decree, and the rest stood aside.

Although the Song Dynasty was a feudal dynasty, it didn't often kneel down, even when meeting officials, it didn't need to kneel down all the time.

"I am ordered by Haotian..."

Zhou Chen stood among the crowd, listening to Cui Neishi recite the imperial decree. The content of the imperial decree is very simple, in short, it is all kinds of praise and praise for Xiao Qinyan...

Most of the Jiaofangsi women in the side courtyard have never had such close contact with the imperial decree in their lives, so they all hid in the house excitedly and curiously, watching from afar.

At this time, Zhang Haohao began to show his rich experience and vision, and introduced the people in the courtyard to everyone.

"Look, the one who received the order is Mr. Xiao, and the one kneeling behind him should be his son."

Then she waved her hand and pointed: "The one behind is Qi Zhongcheng, and the one on the right is old Mr. Ke, Mr. Xiao's deadly enemy. This time, it's just a prime minister. He's going to be a magistrate when he leaves Beijing. But you should have heard of that song a while ago." Sing it to Lime, that poem describes old Mr. Ke."

"And the person who wrote the chant of lime was the young man standing on the left side of Mr. Ke. Don't look at him as young. In fact, he is a well-known young hero in the world. The young general of our Song Dynasty, hereditary. For the loyal and brave Marquis, I don’t know how many ladies in Tokyo are fascinated by him.”

When introducing others, Zhang Haohao's tone was very flat, but only when introducing Zhou Chen, her mood fluctuated.

Because people like Xiao Qinyan and Ke Zheng, although they have a high status, are all old after all, unlike Zhou Chen, who has a high status and a young age, and his popularity and prestige are still very high.

"Good lady, is that official the famous Zhongyonghou? Why is he so young?"

"Of course, that's the young general that the officials admire. Of course he's very young."

"This loyal and brave Marquis is not only young, but also so handsome and elegant."

All the women were also more interested in the younger Zhou Chen, and began to discuss in a low voice.
