The first time the Chen family was so lively, with lights and decorations everywhere, a large row of wine and banquets, and a joyful atmosphere among the gongs and drums.

There were traffic in front of the mansion and the flow of tourists was everywhere. If you wanted to come, you had to give me a generous gift. The officials tried their best to send piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and the vulgar ones gave gold, silver and treasures, which made the tents of several incompetent personal soldiers in Chen Shou's mansion busy.

Chen Shou was full of spring breeze and sat high up. He happily sent away a group of officials. They each had their own ulterior motives and were truly loyal to them, but they were afraid that they could count them with one hand.

Looking at their humble smiling faces, Chen Shou held a wine glass and a faint smile on his lips.

I am not a saint, I have no supernatural powers, and I have never given any favors. Why do I expect others to be as loyal to me as Qin Fengying?

But when they bowed their heads at this moment, they could find a way to get them on their own boat.

When everyone shares the interests of the people, they will naturally work hard to protect themselves.

Wanting everyone to be loyal to themselves is a joke, and interests are the best bond.

A true confidant also needs to have it. At critical moments, you must share the same worries with yourself. These people are their own basic foundations. But if everyone is trying to do so, they can only bring troubles to themselves.

Chen Shou was very patient in the lobby, full of spring breeze, kind and patient.

Officials in the Great Qi used to follow Wei Yunse's leader. Wei Yunse is a man with a strong desire to control, so there are no deadly tough guys who were not eliminated by him.

"Mr. Zhongyong, I'll give you a cup."

An old voice interrupted Chen Shou's thoughts. He turned around and saw that the person who came had a long and long beard and smiled was Jiao Hongbo, the Minister of Rites.

Chen Shou reached out to protect the wine glass and smiled: "It turns out it's Lord Jiao. You can come with your face, so I should give you a cup."

Although Chen Shou's tone was plain, he had an irresistible power. He took the wine cup from Tao'er, poured half a cup for Jiao Hongbo, and smiled and said, "I don't care about my muscles and bones as my strength. I'll pour you half a cup, and we will flow slowly."

Jiao Hongbo happily drank it all and said, "The loyal and brave marquis have a broad mind and a good attitude, and also has both civil and military skills. With you in the Great Qi Dynasty, it is a blessing for the country and the country."

Chen Shou smiled lightly, and it was still early when he took a look. If this one doesn't come, he probably won't come again.

As soon as he stretched out his hand, Zhang He ran to his side, lowered his head and said, "Sir?"

Chen Shou looked at the mountain of gifts, picked a jade pendant from it and put it in his arms, and said, "I'll go to the backyard and you can help me see off the guests. No matter what you come, you will prepare a return gift of similar value and will be sent back from house to house tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."

"yes."

Chen Shou then stood up, accused him of guilt, and entered the bridal chamber amid the laughter of everyone.

When I returned to the backyard, I saw Lu'er commanding a group of maids to work, pinching her waist so tired.

Chen Shou leaned over, hugged her waist from behind, and said, "What are you busy with?"

"Oh, I'm scared to death." Lu'er gasped and pushed him, "Why are you still here? Go to the bridal chamber quickly? Both sisters are anxious."

Chen Shou was so happy that she was well-behaved and sensible. She thought about herself everywhere. She took out a jade pendant from her arms and said with a smile: "I gave it to you."

After saying that, she put it on her neck, Lu'er covered her chest and smiled happily.

She glanced at Chen Shou, suddenly remembered something, and called him, "By the way, the summer palace is so... the original Crown Princess, I've sent you a gift."

Chen Shou had a black thread on his forehead. Last time he took a concubine, Li Lingfeng gave him a salted fish. When he thinks about it, his scalp is still a little numb.

Chen Shou asked angrily: "What are you sending?"

"I gave two jade Ruyi, one with many sons and many blessings, and gold and silver cakes."

Huh?

This was a bit beyond Chen Shou's expectations. Did she give her salted fish last time and her butt was swollen by herself and she didn't dare to lie down and sleep for several days? Is this learning her lesson?

"Please put them away. From now on, you will be in charge of the treasury of our mansion in the inner courtyard."

Lu'er raised her eyes and said, "Okay, I know how to call people."

Chen Shou smiled, flew to her, tidied up her clothes and walked towards the newlyweds' courtyard.

Today, I was considered a young graduate. When Chen Shou remembered the way Mr. Tang pretended to be sick, he was so angry that he was not a suffocating person. Fortunately, he was not a person who was poor and had no choice before. Now that he was in power, he would definitely take revenge if he had the chance.

It's not too late now, and candles have been lit in the new house. Two newcomers are in the adjacent courtyard, with a low wall between them, and a moon door open.

Both yards were swept very cleanly, and there was no way to see a fallen leaf. It was obvious that Lu'er took people to sweep them over and over again.

Chen Shou casually entered, pushed the door open, a pair of red candles were lit on the dressing table, and a girl sat on the bed. When he saw him entering the door, his face was first delighted, and then he became dizzy and stood there embarrassedly.

Chen Shou recognized Tang Wanying, and this was obviously not the case, so it should be Li Xianglin. He first experienced the joy of meeting the first time in ancient times, and he was indeed very surprised.

Li Xianglin has a graceful figure and outstanding appearance. No wonder she was missed by Mr. Liu.

She was wearing a gold-woven official green silk jacket, with a light red armor on the outside, a colorful goose yellow skirt on the waist, and a high-soled flower shoes underneath, which was very festive.

The black hair was tied with a fallen horse bun, with a graceful cloud bun, a gentle jade posture, and a little flushed flying on the oval's face, making it look even more charming.

Chen Shou sat on the chair, and Li Xianglin shyly went over to cover the door, pressed the door gate in panic, and said calmly: "Master, sit down, I will pour you a cup of tea."

Chen Shou waved his hand, and could see that the newcomer was a little nervous. He deliberately stretched out his waist and said, "Master, I have drunk a lot of wine in the outer courtyard, so I can't serve it anymore."

Li Xianglin laughed "Puchi" and a faint blush suddenly appeared on Bai Wei's face. When she walked to Chen Shou, Yingying bowed: "The master saved my family from the sea of ​​fire twice, and she never knew how to repay the master. Now that she has the chance, Xianglin will definitely serve the master in the future."

Chen Shou then remembered that Zhao Hong seemed to have told him that this was the daughter of the paper shopkeeper who had made Gao Huan greedy. After a closer look, his new concubine was pure and tender, as fresh and charming as a girl next door, and indeed had a unique flavor.

When Li Xianglin saw him staring at her, her eyes seemed to be touching her. She was so ashamed that she suddenly felt hazy mist in her rippling eyes. She felt uncomfortable all over, and a small layer of goose bumps appeared on her body.

"Master...it's getting late, I'll wait for you to rest."
