Minister

124【Seven years of Jiankang】

Dai Tongjin was about to serve the second bowl, when the person who answered came, He Qi hurriedly put down the bowl of noodles that Dai Tongjin forced for him: "How is it? Are you arguing?"

The little eunuch wiped the sweat from his forehead: "I didn't hear anything."

He Qi breathed a sigh of relief, and the little eunuch said, "But Mr. Qin packed his things and said he was going back to Mount Lianzhu."

Dai Tongjin chewed his noodles: "Go and stop him."

The little eunuch was in a dilemma: "Slaves... how dare you?"

Dai Tongjin swallowed the last mouthful of noodles: "Come on... I'll go."

He Qi grabbed Dai Tongjin: "How about I go."

Dai Tongjin smiled and said: "Eunuch He, this is a trivial matter, I'll just go. After tonight, it will be all right, everything will be fine." Dai Tongjin added a coat and went out casually .

He Qi was stunned for a while: "Forget it..."

Wei Chi was trying his best to contact Lu Shengduo that day, but he couldn't find him no matter what.It was Hu Yanglin who told her that Xu Wei would not be able to come back in a while, and Wei Chi's idea was in vain.Wei Chi was in a dilemma and didn't know how to intervene in the high-level to understand the attitude of the high-level court towards this matter.Wei Chi thought about it all night, and thought of something that could help her, and King Yan had a lot of it.

Early the next morning, the rain stopped, and Wei Chi took a small vacation to find Chen Ang.He Qi seemed to have not slept well all night, and his face was haggard. Hearing that Wei Chi was looking for Chen Ang, he hesitated to speak: "...My lord..."

"I also have something important to do, what's wrong with the prince?"

"This……"

"Is it convenient for the prince to see me today?" Wei Chi thought that he was not an outsider, so he might as well ask directly.

"...The prince is still in the backyard." He Qi remembered that Dai Tongjin said he was fine last night, and now he couldn't find a reason to explain it to Wei Chi, so he bit the bullet and said, "Let someone take you there." .”

Chen Ang was so surprised by Wei Chi's arrival that he couldn't speak: "..."

Wei Chi bowed, very strange: "My lord... what's wrong with you?"

After Chen Ang confirmed that this had nothing to do with that princess, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "Why did you come to find me so early in the morning?"

Wei Chi laughed and said: "...My lord, I want to see Huang Gui."

"Huh?" Chen Ang didn't know what kind of medicine it was selling: "Why are you going to see Huang Gui?"

Wei Chi told the matter straightly: "The people from Jinyiwei have already replied, saying that Xu Wei will stay in Jiangnan for the time being, so I have no other choice."

Chen Ang patted his forehead fiercely, thinking that yesterday he casually mentioned to Saul Hahan that this surnamed Wei spent his money, was restless, and made trouble...then we met the next day.

"Why did Huang Gui help you?" Chen Ang wished he could directly take pictures of Wei Chi in the lake.

"...Doesn't he love money...My lord..." Wei Chi smiled cautiously, "I just borrowed it as a minister, and I will definitely pay you back in the future! My lord, life does not wait for others."

"How much do you want to borrow?" Chen Ang raised his face.

"My lord, I don't know, how suitable do you think?" Wei Chi rarely showed a flattering expression.

Chen Ang was so angry that he couldn't speak for a while.

"My lord, don't go." Wei Chi hurriedly followed behind Chen Ang: "I took a short vacation today, and I have to go to the Yamen in the afternoon...My lord, don't be reluctant, this is life-saving!"

"His life is my business!" The faster Chen Ang walked, the faster Wei Chi followed.

"My lord!"

Chen Ang stopped suddenly and turned around.Wei Chi was stared straight at him: "...My lord"

"At least 2000 taels," Chen Ang said seriously, "You won't be able to pay it back in your life... But, if you do me a favor, I can give you the money now, and you won't have to pay it back in the future."

Wei Chi nodded quickly: "It's easy to say! Easy to say!"

Chen Ang suppressed a smile: "Just say what you want, come with me."

Chen Ang turned into the nearby yard: "Wait for me here."

Not long after, Chen Ang came in with a bag of things and threw it to Wei Chi: "Put on your clothes, hurry up."

"Huh?" Wei Chi tore off one from his head: "What is this?"

"What is this?" Chen Ang took out a piece of paper and shook it.

Banknote!

"This is 500 taels. Any bank in the capital can exchange it. Do you want it?"

"Yes!" Wei Chi ran into the inner room with his clothes in his arms, then poked his head out again: "Don't lie to me!"

Chen Ang was impatient: "It's so long-winded, I have to change everything! I can't do without one!"

After a while, Wei Chi came out coyly: "It's changed..."

In fact, it was just a fur coat, but with the waist closed.

"What are you wearing underneath?" Chen Ang sized it up.

"What?" Wei Chi blushed.

"Double! Take off your corset!" Chen Ang became more and more impatient: "Or your 500 taels will be in vain!"

Wei Chi then dawdled in again.

When he came out for the second time, Chen Ang was finally satisfied: "Come and sit." Chen Ang pushed Wei Chi in front of the vanity mirror.

"Isn't it necessary to tease people like this for a mere 500 taels?" Wei Chi probably understood what Chen Ang meant and was very dissatisfied.

"Stupid girl, be honest, when have I ever hurt you?" Chen Ang untied Wei Chi's hair and picked up the comb.

It is true that Chen Ang never harmed himself, but Wei Chi didn't know why he did this all of a sudden... Maybe he really took the opportunity to play tricks on himself for meddling in his own business? ...But this person is almost thirty... Still so boring?

When Wei Chi's thoughts were spinning, Chen Ang had already arranged her hair in a bun, and specially removed two strokes of hair to cover the sideburns that she deliberately cut.People usually live in this courtyard, so there is a ready-made dressing cabinet. Although there are some men's hairpins in it, it is also a bit fancy.Chen Ang picked up a few and made gestures on Wei Chi's head.

Wei Chi pouted: "My lord, are you going to marry off my minister?"

"Of course not." Chen Ang chose an emerald and pinned it on: "Don't think about such a good thing."

good thing?Wei Chi felt that this statement was a bit strange.

Seeing that Wei Chi was about to speak again, Chen Ang sealed her mouth: "I'm very annoyed recently, don't ask too many questions, okay?"

Seeing that he suddenly became serious, Wei Chi nodded obediently.

Chen Ang turned around and found a lot of gouache and rouge.

"..." When Chen Ang wiped Wei Chi's face with his gouache-smeared fingers, Wei Chi felt unprecedented panic: "What is this..." Then he sneezed: "I have to go to the Yamen this afternoon. !"

"Wei Chi..." Chen Ang put some rouge on Wei Chi: "Actually, you are really a beauty..."

Just as Wei Chi was about to continue his chatter, Chen Ang came over with a mirror.

"...Who is this...?" Wei Chi almost jumped up from the stool in surprise.

This was the first time in Wei Chi's life that his hair was put up in a bun, pasted with flowers and rouge.Wei Chi couldn't recognize the person in the mirror, and couldn't help touching his face with his hand.Chen Ang grabbed her hand: "Ladies don't touch their faces. Do you think it's pretty?"

Chen Ang admired Saul Hahan's way of looking at people. He didn't expect that Wei Chi would look like a full-fledged woman when he put his hair in a bun, especially when she saw the mirror with a soft expression that added a touch of warmth to her. style.

"Stand up," Chen Ang helped him arrange the fur coat he brought from the maid - it was a little short, but it fit well: "It's a pity that there are no women's robes that you can wear." Chen Ang picked it up from the pile of clothes Wrapping Wei Chi in a light green silk robe: "You really look like a lovely young lady." Chen Ang twisted her face: "Don't say it... I really want to marry you off."

The robe might belong to someone, it was so long that it covered Wei Chi's instep.

Wei Chi felt like a deer hiding in a leafy forest, his heart was beating faster and faster.

"Come on!" Chen Ang took Wei Chi's hand.

The moment he stepped out of the room, Wei Chi felt surprisingly timid, even more panicked than when he entered the Golden Luan Hall.

Chen Ang took her to the stone bridge on the lake: "There is no one in the yard today, you stay here obediently." Chen Ang nodded at the tip of her nose: "Do you understand?"

Wei Chi wanted to say something, but she found that her rouged mouth was a little disobedient, and Chen Ang had already walked away before she could recover.

After He Qi ordered people to close the garden gate, he waited in the study, and Chen Ang came back after a while, and asked for a cup of tea.He Qi finally saw that Chen Ang had returned to normal, and couldn't help but want to ask some things on the sidelines.Chen Ang thought he was going to ask Wei Chi, but he didn't expect to ask Qin Yueru instead.

"Young Master Qin was going back to Mount Lianzhu last night..."

"It's really inexplicable!" Chen Ang snorted: "If he wants to leave this time, let him go!"

"I didn't make it. Master Dai stopped him, and I guess his anger is almost gone."

"You said..." Chen Ang sighed: "Why are there so many things these days?"

He Qi handed Chen Ang a towel to wipe his hands, and was about to say a few words to resolve it, when someone outside reported that the painter Zhao Kuizhen had arrived and had already arrived in the outer hall.

He Qi was surprised: "My lord asked He painter to come early in the morning, what is he going to do?"

Chen Ang didn't have time to take the handkerchief: "...Well, you just need to worry about no one being allowed to enter the Nuan Garden today, I have my own arrangements."

Chen Ang temporarily forgot about Qin Yueru: "Please come in, Mr. Zhao."

Zhao Kuizhen was born as a scholar, and reading is not very useful, but she is extremely elegant and outstanding in painting.If one's background is better, one might have a position in the palace, but unfortunately the three generations are not in the territory, so they can't get anything to do with it.I have made a lot of money, but I still have to obey other people's orders.Chen Ang has always been generous in his actions, and he has also praised him before, so he came here in such a hurry.

"I dare not let you rest," Chen Ang said with a smile, "I really have something to bother you."

"My lord is too polite!" Zhao Kuizhen hurriedly saluted. Many people admired the attitude of King Yan.

Sure enough, Chen Ang didn't let Zhao Kuizhen take a break, and led him directly into the backyard: "Don't ask me any more questions later, I have a beautiful woman with a stubborn temper, and I managed to coax her to be obedient today, so you have to draw a picture for me to let I pass on."

"I don't dare to pass down the word." Zhao Kuizhen apologized.

Chen Ang laughed: "Don't you dare? No one dares in this capital."

This is the second time for Zhao Kuizhen to enter Nuanyuan, and she is wondering why there are no other people in the courtyard, and also thinks that Chen Ang has an unpredictable temper, so it is inconvenient to ask more questions.I just wondered to myself which girl could make the prince call her a beauty, what kind of beauty could be handed down to the world, and what kind of stubborn temper made the prince sneaky for her portrait?

The more you walk into the warm garden, the quieter and more pleasant the scenery will be.

Zhao Kuizhen wanted to take a closer look all the way, but Chen Ang seemed to be afraid that the man would lose his patience, so he dragged him away very fast.Because Zhao Kuizhen couldn't help looking around, when Chen Ang stopped, Zhao Kuizhen almost fell down.

Chen Ang quickly covered his chest, pulled him to hide behind a tree, and waited for Zhao Kuizhen to stabilize his emotions before carefully pointing outward.

Zhao Kuizhen poked her head out, and saw a stone bridge on the lake connecting the gazebo in the middle of the lake. There was indeed a man standing on the bridge, wearing a Han-style silk robe, emerald green, with an indistinct figure, standing with his back to him. The appearance is also indistinct.

Zhao Kuizhen didn't know what he meant, and he didn't know who this person was. He wanted to ask but was afraid of being abrupt. Since Chen Ang was waiting, he had no choice but to wait.Never thought that the wait would be half an hour, Zhao Kuizhen couldn't bear it anymore, and pointed to the person on the bridge: "My lord... this"

Ever since Wei Chi came back from the battlefield, Chen Ang had overestimated Wei Chi's ability, and often felt that she could see and hear Zhao Kuizhen, and hurriedly gestured with him.In fact, how could Wei Chi be so powerful?Zhao Kuizhen didn't do much, but when Chen Ang gestured with his hands and feet, a swan hiding in the grass nest was startled and flew up, skipped the pond, and landed on the water.

Chen Ang was taken aback, and tightly grabbed Zhao Kuizhen's arm.

"Eh!" Chen Ang pulled his sleeve, wanting to push him into the grass: "Eh?"

Zhao Kuizhen was stunned, and saw that the girl who hadn't turned her head back for a long time was startled by the swan - she had a very beautiful nose and the corners of her mouth, but that was secondary, she had Zhao Kuizhen who had never seen it in her life The look in her eyes, that kind of indifferent aura should not exist on the face of a girl like her, it is not the leisurely or lonely of a poet, not the sweetness or shyness of a girl, the moment she looks back, she seems to be looking at the world.

Chen Ang dragged Zhao Kuizhen back to the grass.

Zhao Kuizhen's face was pressed against the blade of grass, thinking, is this a glimpse?

Wei Chi straightened his sleeves and turned his head.

"My lord! The villain understands!" Zhao Kuizhen turned around with difficulty.

Chen Ang mouthed: "What do you understand?"

"The villain can draw! Can draw!"

Can draw?Chen Ang thought to himself, don't draw a back view.Seeing Chen Ang's hesitation, Zhao Kuizhen nodded quickly: "I can draw!"

Now that the great painter said so, Chen Ang had no choice but to believe him, and the two sneaked back to the front yard.

"When the prince pulled my sleeve just now, that lady turned around." Zhao Kuizhen took a breath.

"Oh!" Chen Ang was relieved, but then he thought again: "Then you understand after a while?"

"Understood, she really is a strange woman, the prince is amazing." Zhao Kuizhen wiped her sweat.

"..." Chen Ang suspected that he was flattering. Although Wei Chi looks pleasing, he shouldn't be boasting like this: "This matter is very important, so you don't have to be perfunctory. It must be similar in appearance, and there must be a charm in it." .” Chen Ang thought for a while: “Within three days.”

three days?Zhao Kuizhen wanted to argue, but on second thought, three days was really enough.

"According to the prince!"

"You can't be perfunctory to me, or I want your head." Chen Ang was smiling, but he really couldn't let it go.

"Just give the head to the lord!" Zhao Kuizhen got interested and hurried back without even discussing the price.

Chen Ang hesitated for a while, then suddenly remembered that Mr. Wei was still on the bridge, his back felt cold, and he hurried to the backyard... It's just that this time his mood improved a lot—isn't it just less than 3000 taels?Lord Wei can still earn back for this king.

Miss Wei, I'm sorry!
