unprepared

Yan Chen, an unknown person, soon became a hot figure in Beijing. His identity and background naturally aroused the curiosity of many people.

After some inquiries, it turned out that General Yan was a distant relative of Prime Minister Su, and he seemed to have brought him back from Gongxi.

People like Su Zhang who have been rooted in Shuojing for several generations have relatives in Gongxi. Some people are curious, but they are not really bored enough to go to Gongxi to find out.

But since they are relatives of Prime Minister Su, everyone has their own concerns about how much water has been added to the position of general.

There are also people who know the truth, who know that every step Yan Chen takes is real.

At the beginning, a political discussion in Shangyang Academy caught the attention of the seventh prince, and he was not timid in the face of assassins, which made Yan Zhizhou make up his mind to cultivate this person well.

The trip to Zhige Mountain and Su Huai made great contributions together. Although most of the credit is attributed to Yan Zhizhou, Yan Chen has gained some fame in Shuojing anyway.

Half a year ago, Yan Zhizhou didn't even have his own name on the credit card for the Ping Gongxi Rebellion, so the first credit naturally fell to Yan Chen.

This time Shengjia was trapped in Qianyang Mountain, an accident could be a catastrophe for the country, Yan Chen rescued the saint in danger, a general of Yuan'an, it was a matter of course.

All kinds of gossip gathered together, and someone gave a conclusion. General Yan is young and promising, has a bright future, and is single, making him a good match.

So Yan Chen, who lived in the prime minister's mansion and didn't want to leave, received an urgent letter from Song and Tang.

When Song Tang arrived in Shuojing, he volunteered to be the housekeeper of Yan Chen's general's mansion, and Yan Chen didn't feel relieved that he was alone outside. To be honest, in his opinion, Song Tang was definitely not a simple character.So I agreed without thinking.

"What did Mr. Song say?" Su Huai held the stove in one hand and fed himself with the other. This tangerine is really delicious.

Yan Chen frowned: "He said something happened to the general's mansion."

"What happened?" Su Huai sat up straight.

The master of the general's mansion hasn't lived in yet, so why did something happen.

"It didn't mention it in the letter, it just told me to go back quickly and wait for me to make the decision!" Yan Chen was not in a hurry.

He felt that if the matter was really urgent, Song Tang would come to him directly, so would it be worth writing a letter?

"I'll go with you." Su Huai said as he pushed away the plate of tangerines and stood up.

Although Yan Chen is sometimes safer than him in dealing with people, but this is Shuo Jing after all, and the stakes of some things may not be as simple as they appear on the surface.

Seeing that Su Huai was so nervous about him, Yan Chen was secretly proud: "Let's go, let's go to my mansion by the way."

Ever since Jian Zhu saw that unsightly scene and heard those obscenities that night, he felt that he was no longer the simple cutie he was back then.

As long as the master and Young Master Yan are together, many terrifying images will appear in his mind unconsciously, and he can't stop it.

At this moment, he drove the car and sent the two people inside to the General's Mansion. What were they doing in the small space separated by the thick cotton curtain?

The people inside seemed to be whispering something, and from time to time there were a few laughs and the familiar voice of disgust from his master.

too frightening.

After finally arriving at the General's Mansion, it was almost dark, and a thin layer of snow had frozen on the ground. Yan sank down from the carriage, turned around and helped Su Huai down.

Jian Zhu looked at the two, and silently retracted his arms.

Why does Mr. Yan even grab his own job, so that he will become lazy in the future.

And wouldn't it be good to help people out of the car? Is it necessary to hold hands all the time?

"Let's go, are you going to drink the northwest wind outside?" Su Huai had just entered the gate of the General's Mansion being dragged by Yan Chen, and when he turned his head, Jian Zhu was still in a daze.

"Oh." Jian Zhu quickly withdrew his gaze and followed with his head down.

General Yuan'an's Mansion is not very grand, there are only two bare trees in the front yard, under the trees are stone tables and stone stools, except for some necessary furniture, there is not even a vase in the main hall, it can be said to be extremely simple up.

However, Su Huai was very satisfied with this: "Mr. Song is a capable housekeeper."

At a young age, Yan Chen is always in the limelight, some people envy others hate him, at this time, you must not make mistakes, otherwise those people who want you to fall into the clouds will grab your braids every now and then.

Yan Chen doesn't care about these things, in his opinion, as long as some necessities of life are complete, that's enough.

"Yo, our general is back!"

Not long after the two of them entered the main hall, Song Tang came out from behind.

"Didn't you say there is something urgent?" Yan Chen looked at him and said.

Only then did Song Tang remember: "Come with me."

The two followed Song Tang to the side hall, and as soon as the door opened, Su Huai was shocked by the mountain of presents in front of him.

"Is this your eightieth birthday?"

Yan Chen frowned subconsciously: "Didn't I say that all congratulatory gifts will not be accepted?"

"It was my negligence. I was the one who was in the mansion before, and I blocked all the gift-givers back. At the beginning, some people insisted on sending them. Later, seeing that I didn't let go, they became less and less. A few days ago, there were almost no one. Come to the door." Song Tang said.

"I thought everyone should understand the meaning of the General's Mansion, but who knows that I went out yesterday to do some errands, and when I came back, I heard from the accountant that someone sent a congratulatory gift, and they can't make decisions on their own, so they can only temporarily accept the congratulatory gift and wait for me It’s my fault that I didn’t explain it clearly to them in advance, but now that everything has been collected, it would be a slap in the face to return it, and it’s probably not good for you to have a bad relationship with people in the officialdom from the very beginning.”

"Mr. Song is right, but we still have to find a way to deal with these things." Su Huai glanced through the congratulatory gifts, and found that they were all of great value.

The difficulty lies here, Yan Chen closed his eyes, how can he return the things without hurting the peace?

"Oh, by the way, there is one more thing." When Song Tang said this, his eyes stopped on Su Huai.

Su Huai was puzzled, what did you say to see me?

"Many of these gift-givers want you to be their son-in-law." Song Tang said happily, as if this was some kind of happy event.

Hearing this, Yan Chen went to see Su Huai for the first time, only to see Su Huai's expression froze, and then he curled his lips with a look of disdain.

"Tsk tsk, General Yan is very lucky!"

Before Yan Chen could say anything, Song Tang added fuel to the fire: "There are a few more portraits here, I've seen them all, they really have everything you need!"

As he spoke, he took out the collected painting scroll as if offering a treasure, moved the gift on the table to the ground, and then unfolded the painting.

Su Huai had no interest in this, but he couldn't help squinting at the women in the paintings.

As Song and Tang said, there are all types, as long as Yan Chen likes women, he can always pick a favorite among them.

pity……

"pity……"

As soon as Su Huai thought of this, Yan Chen said, "I don't even look good like a big brother."

Although Song Tang knew a little about the two of them, saying this in front of a third person made Su Huai feel a little uncomfortable, stepped on his foot with a tiger face, and warned: "What are you talking about? "

Yan Chen hurriedly moved away from him: "I'm just telling the truth."

Song and Tang took their small actions seriously and reminded: "I naturally hope that you are more affectionate than Jin Jian, but now that Yan Chen is very popular, this kind of thing will only happen more or less. What I want to say next, you guys You may not like to hear it, but I hope you plan ahead."

Yan Chen and Su Huai looked at him, they seemed to have a premonition in their hearts, knowing what Song Tang was going to say.

"Yan Chen is a rising star now, how many people are watching, Mr. Su is also a famous man, and now he is serving as a servant. In short, you are not unknown people now. With such identities, you want to be together in an open and honest way...I'm afraid It's not that easy." Song Tang put away his usual cynical expression, and there was hope but some regret hidden in his eyes.

They didn't know what Song and Tang said.

Some men not only raise concubines, but also raise a lot of cheesy faces, but those are all shameless, and no one will openly treat a man as a wife.

Yan Chen looked at Su Huai. In fact, he had never thought about this before. Although he was determined to win Su Huai, he was not sure about Su Huai's intentions. He wondered if he was as determined as himself.

So Su Huai's ability to respond to his shady feelings had already made him dizzy with joy, so he didn't have the time to think about anything else.

Now that Song and Tang mentioned it, I suddenly realized that the relationship between them was too fragile. Even if they were entangled yesterday, they might break it off today.

The prime minister's family, identity, worldliness... are all abysses that lie between them.

There was no special expression on Su Huai's face, as if he didn't care about Song and Tang's words, which made Yan Chen feel inexplicably panicked.

Seeing this, Song and Tang rubbed their noses and decided to leave first. Only the parties involved can solve this kind of matter.

After Song Tang left, there were only the two of them left in the not-so-big side hall, and they were standing so close that Su Huai could hear Yan Chen's breathing.

"About these things, I thought of a good way." After a moment of silence, Su Huai spoke first, pointing to the congratulatory gifts on the ground.

Yan Chen lowered his brows even lower, does he still have the heart to think about this now?

Still didn't take Mr. Song's words into my heart at all.

Su Huai turned around to meet his gaze, and said very calmly: "Pawn all these things into money, and use them as military funds for Luoyueguan, but you must make a clear account and report it to Your Majesty. List the roster, but not the details of the accounts. It’s good to just give the final total. First, it can avoid having personal relationships with these people, and it won’t offend everyone’s face; second, it also prevents people from catching your faults, what do you think?”

"It's all up to you." Yan Chen was obviously in a bad mood, "What Mr. Song said just now..."

"Heh..." Su Huai suddenly bent his eyes and smiled, raised his hand and patted his face ambiguously, "You don't really want us to spend the rest of your life together, do you?"

Yan Chen gritted his teeth, didn't dare to blink, and looked at him: "What... do you mean?"

"What I mean is, before the freshness of us is over, what should we do? One day you want to start a family, or if I fall in love with a girl, then you are on the right track. Why do you need to think so long-term? Looking for trouble." Su Huai said.
