After rebirth, I became the stupid son of the Hou family

King Wei never dreamed that in order to compliment Jiang Chen, he would ask him to pay him so much money at once.

He originally felt that it was quite unfair, but when he turned around and thought, if he could spend this money to keep Jiang Chen by his side, that wouldn't be a blessing.

He knew that Jiang Chen now had a certain say in the Hou Mansion. His current value is much greater than Jiang Feng. If he can be pulled from the prince and firmly in his hands, it will be a very useful trump card.

After the singing prostitutes below finished singing a song, he waved to them, and several women came to both sides of Jiang Chen, wearing golden lotus robes and fragrant flowers.

King Wei held a woman in his arms. He picked up the wine glass and said to the other two singing girls:

"This is the number one scholar in the new science. I see if any of you have the ability to make the number one scholar happy, I will take credit for you. The literati and poets from ancient times are not the ones with beautiful women in red sleeves. The more you do this, the more capable you will be. Arouse the inspiration of you great writers. This is the material of creation. If you can write those poems with beautiful artistic conception, it proves that you are also a person with feelings. The material of creation comes from life, and women are inherently poetic and picturesque. That kind of fun and inspiration will be inexhaustible for you.”

Jiang Chen ignored the woman who was leaning against him. He picked up the wine glass in front of him and said to him:

"It seems that King Wei is a veteran in this field, but Jiang Chen does not dare to make mistakes. I have just entered the official career, and I still need to keep myself clean. If one day I am joined by an admonisher, I am afraid that my efforts over the years will be ruined. Since King Wei is so elegant, Jiang Chen won't disturb him. It's getting late, so it's time for me to return home."

When King Wei heard this, he quickly let go of the singing girl in his arms and said to Jiang Chen:

"The number one scholar can't leave. It's rare for us to have a chance to be together. I haven't finished speaking yet. How can I let you go? Since the number one scholar doesn't like your company, then go ahead. Without my call, no one can Don’t let people in.”

After speaking, he waved to the geisha, and the three of them retreated one after another.

King Wei looked at Jiang Chen in front of him and said to him:

"Jiang Chen, this is the first time I have seen that a man does not like women. I am really impressed by a gentleman like you. I like a noble and humble gentleman like you. I have always been very fond of you. I admire you. With your talents and abilities, it can be said that no one can compare with you in our Xuanwu Dynasty. Take your half-brother Jiang Feng as an example. He and you are the best friends in the world. Farewell. The person who can be admired by me must be a gentleman who combines the beauty of heaven and earth. You are also the first person that I want to get close to very much. The right way is to be close to red, when you are red, when close to ink, you are black, and when you are with virtuous people, Self-exaltation. My heart of admiration for you can be expressed by heaven and earth, and can be seen by the sun and moon."

Jiang Chen couldn't help but sneer secretly in his heart when he heard King Wei's compliments to him.

He wanted to know what King Wei was looking for, so he interrupted him and said:

"King Wei is exaggerating. He still knows how much Jiang Chen has. If King Wei has any requests for me, just put them forward. I am very happy to make friends with everyone, including His Highness the King of Wei."

When King Wei heard what Jiang Chen said, he also smiled and said to Jiang Chen:

"You really guessed it. I really have an uninvited invitation. Because I have already requested the emperor's brother in the Golden Palace, and I want to go to the Northern Kingdom as an envoy. If the father agrees, in a short time, I am about to go north to the Northern Kingdom. The purpose of my trip to the Northern Kingdom is to find out the true intentions of Chen Bing's border in the Northern Kingdom. I am afraid that Duke Zhuangyuan does not want the two countries to fight. Once the war breaks out, even if the Marquis of Dingyuan has I am afraid that the extraordinary ability of a man in charge will not be able to resist those barbaric northerners. Besides, in recent years, the Xuanwu Dynasty has suffered constant disasters and the treasury is empty. Once war comes, it will be an irresistible disaster. In order to protect the future of the Xuanwu Dynasty For this reason, as a prince, I have no hesitation in shouldering such a heavy responsibility. When I go to the Northern Kingdom as envoy, I also need to be well-known, and we also need to submit credentials to them. I have already thought about it, in the name of cultural exchange, Go on a mission to the Northern Kingdom. And you are our new top scholar this year. As the editor of the Hanlin Academy, it should be the most appropriate for you to travel with me. So I came to you today to discuss this matter. It’s just that I wonder if the Number One Scholar is willing to reward me and accompany me on my mission to the Northern Kingdom."

After Jiang Chen heard what King Wei said, he hugged his fist and said:

"Thanks to His Highness the King of Wei for thinking highly of me and being able to contribute to the safety of the imperial court, Jiang Chen has no hesitation and I am willing to go with the King of Wei."

King Wei saw that Jiang Chen agreed so readily. He happily poured another glass of wine and said to Jiang Chen:

"Okay, I didn't expect you to agree so readily. With your words, I feel more at ease during this trip to the North. I will report the list of envoys to my father as soon as possible. We can meet again when we have time. I will carefully study the specific matters of this mission, and I hope you can assist me in everything."

Jiang Chen did not refuse and nodded in agreement,

"Working for the imperial court is what a minister should do. King Wei doesn't need to be polite to me."

Afterwards, Jiang Chen said goodbye to King Wei, and Ah Fu, who was waiting outside, quickly ordered his entourage to bring Jiang Chen's horse over to him. The group of people walked towards the Hou Mansion.

Jiang Chen had just returned home. Under the leadership of the girl Cailian, several girls quickly helped Jiang Chen change out of his official uniform and then put on a set of casual clothes at home.

In winter, the cold temperature outside is in sharp contrast to the warm temperature inside the house.

Just as Jiang Chen finished changing his clothes, Fan Yao lifted the curtain and walked in.

Jiang Chen hurriedly greeted him and walked over. After the two sat down, Jiang Chen sent everyone in the room out.

Fan Yao said to him:

"Today Chen Ming and I went to visit my mentor Mr. Su. Who knew that on the way back, we met someone who wanted to kill us again. Thanks to Chen Ming for resisting, otherwise, I would have been in trouble again. I'm afraid those people are crazy and will eventually find their way here. Otherwise, I'd better move out with Chen Ming so as not to implicate the Hou Mansion. So, I'm waiting for you to come back to discuss this matter."

Jiang Chen looked at Fan Yao and said:

"Don't panic about this. Those people should be the ones sent by Yeluhan to kill you. It seems that Yeluhan will never forget you for a moment. It shows how big a threat you are to him, so that he will do it at all costs. I want to get rid of you.”

Fan Yao gritted his teeth and said to Jiang Chen:

"Before I went to kill him, he sent someone to kill me again. I don't know when I will be avenged for killing my mother and brother Shi. If I don't kill Yeluhan in this life, I will never be a human being."
