Chapter Twelfth Encounter

Chapter 12: Good luck

Raymond did not go anywhere else, but came to a side hall, sat on a chair, and waved to Chen Wanrong: "Sit, sit down."

There is no place to sit in front of the emperor. Chen Wanrong hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, how dare I sit."

"Don't be polite. Sit down and let's have a good chat." Ruizong was kind and kind, and had no emperor's airs at all.

Chen Wanrong hesitated for a moment, thanked him, and sat down. There was a plate of mixed fruits (dsserts) on the table, which were brightly colored and very attractive. If you don’t see it, you will have a sound of your stomach when you see it, and your heart is so hungry that you can’t help but blame Zheng Qing in your heart for doing bad things, which makes me hungry.

Ruizong's smile remained unchanged, and he laughed: "Are you hungry?" He pushed the mixed fruits in front of Chen Wanrong: "Eat a few pieces."

I was really hungry, and Chen Wanrong didn't hesitate. He reached out and grabbed a piece and put it in his mouth. It tasted good and melted in his mouth. He praised him: "It's delicious!" He grabbed another piece and swallowed it.

The old eunuch brought tea. Chen Wanrong ate two pieces of mixed fruits. He was a little dry, but he didn't thank him. He picked it up and drank it, as if this was his home. The old eunuch frowned when he saw it, but Ruizong looked at Chen Wanrong with a smile, very kind, as if a kind father was facing his beloved children. Chen Wanrong felt a little warm in his heart, and he stopped embarrassedly: "Your Majesty, I'm rude."

"This is true nature!" Ruizong was also angry at all and asked, "Didn't you eat enough for breakfast?"

Chen Wanrong blurted out and asked, "How does the emperor know?"

Ruizong shook his head and smiled, "Any ministers who went to court for the first time will not be full, at most 30% full. They are embarrassed to go to the toilet."

Chen Wanrong admired his eyes very much: "What the emperor said is very true, I am not full."

"It was your fiancée who didn't let you eat enough?" Ruizong suddenly said.

Chen Wanrong would never have thought that the unsuccessful Ruizong had such insights. He was shocked and admitted, "The emperor saw it clearly."

"Actually, this is not difficult to guess. You are true to your true nature and will not think of these details. Only your fiancée will care so much." Ruizong analyzed: "If you live like this, what else can your husband ask for?" Then he sighed and said in a consolational tone: "With such a virtuous wife, you should live a good life and don't lose her."

This sounds like a long love between children and children. Chen Wanrong couldn't understand the truth and answered: "What the emperor taught is that I remember it."

Ruizong thought of his two concubines and killed Wu Zetian, but he didn't dare to say a word. One of these two concubines is Li Longji's biological mother, and he still has no idea where the corpse is. For more than 20 years, he has been finding the whereabouts of the two concubines, and after becoming emperor, he spared no effort, and he still has no news.

Ruizong took a flowered box, opened it, and pushed it in front of Chen Wanrong: "You have packed it."

Chen Wanrong looked at a key, and the rest was the property deed. Ruizong explained: "There is no one living in this house for many years, so you have to make a fuss. I originally wanted to give you a better house, but your rank is too low and the ministers will make trouble, so I will give you this old house." At the end, I said a very embarrassed saying: "I really feel wronged."

The emperor gave it, even a straw, was kind, but he was very embarrassed. Chen Wanrong was a little funny: "The emperor's kindness, I thank you for your kindness."

"Okay, nothing is wrong, you go." Ruizong waved his hand, and the old eunuch came over to lead Chen Wanrong.

After leaving the side hall, the old eunuch said, "Mr. Chen, please leave!"

"Eunuch Xie, please come back!" Chen Wanrong looked at the old eunuch with gray hair, feeling unbearable and thanked him politely.

The old eunuch heard Chen Wanrong's sincerity, responded and turned around and went back. Chen Wanrong put the box back in his arms and strode towards Danfeng Gate. When he entered the palace, it was light and he couldn't see clearly. Now, looking around, he realized the size of Daming Palace, the tall palace, the exquisite buildings, and the amazing layout. Chen Wanrong was deeply shocked.

As we were leaving, Chen Zairong came up and said, "Brother, look at you, there must be something good, right?"

Chen Wanrong's face sank: "You can't laugh if you're fine? Why don't you go to serve the prince?"

"The prince wants me to wait for you." Chen Zairong's smile remained unchanged, and he asked in a low voice: "Brother, you are really amazing. You have been promoted to the third level for the first time to go to court. This is rare in the Tang Dynasty. The emperor gave you the mansion. It's really a great emperor's grace."

Chen Wanrong is still a little dizzy at this point, as if he is in a dream, touching his forehead: "I didn't expect it to be like this."

Chen Zairong smiled very happily: "Brother, do you know? Your words not only made them stop arguing, but also helped the prince a big favor. If it weren't for you, they wouldn't know how much time they had won and left the business behind, it would be a big trouble."

Chen Wanrong laughed: "Do you know why I stood up and spoke? That's because I was so hungry that I couldn't leave or stay, so I just stood up and spoke, thinking that they would end up early so I could go back to have a meal."

"Brother, sister-in-law's idea?" Chen Zairong was very funny: "Actually, you can go to the toilet when you go to court. Brother, think about it, if this matter cannot be resolved, the ministers will not suffer? Just go to the toilet as little as possible."

As the two of them said, they came to the door, Chen Zairong took the horse and handed the reins to Chen Wanrong: "Brother, you go back first. I have time to see you."

Chen Wanrong responded, flew out of Danfeng Gate, and headed straight towards the East Palace. He came to the East Palace and returned the horses. Then he took off his big strides and returned to Zheng Mansion.

This time, I gained a lot from the court. Not only did I get promoted, but the most practical house was solved. Chen Wanrong couldn't be happy. He was in a good mood and walked lightly and vigorously, as if he was stepping on a hot wheel. He soon arrived at Zheng Mansion.

Needless to think about it, Zheng Qing would definitely be waiting at the door and look at it from afar. That's right, Zheng Qing's slender figure came into his eyes and rushed over quickly. Zheng Qing also saw Chen Wanrong coming back, and trotted to meet her. From afar, she saw her happy face: "I'm back!" Xiyin was trembling a little.

Chen Wanrong stretched out his hand and held her jade hand. He found it a little cold, not the warmth he had before. He was very surprised: "Why are your hands so cold?"

"I'm worried." Zheng Qing let out a long sigh and felt relieved.

Chen Wanrong pulled her closer and asked, "What are you worried about?"

Zheng Qing patted her chest, looking at ease: "Today is not the New Year and Day, but the Sun Day. If you go to court from an eighth-rank official, there will definitely be someone who will make things difficult for you. If you are not careful, it will cause trouble."

He had a good plan, just like seeing each other in person. Chen Wanrong had to admire her exquisite calculations. He looked at Yiren, his pretty face was pale, and he had not yet returned to his original state. He felt a warm heart. He didn't care about the number of people. He hugged her slender waist and said softly: "Don't worry, am I fine? It's okay. Can't you trust your husband?"

Zheng Qing was both happy and shy and said angrily: "You are not serious at all. You have not gotten married yet."

I wanted to get some verbal benefits, but seeing that she had not recovered from her worries, she couldn't bear it and smiled and said, "Let's go back, I'll tell you."

Zheng Qing said aloud and gently followed Chen Wanrong home. As soon as she entered the door, she saw Zheng Zhou coming over with a smile: "Wanrong, are you back? You are finally back. The girl is so worried that she doesn't even eat." She breathed a long sigh, feeling relieved.

When I sent Chen Wanrong to court, Yiren was not worried at all. Now I realized that she didn't want to distract Chen Wanrong. Chen Wanrong was really moved by this kindness of Yu Yiren and said with a smile: "Have you eaten yet? Listen to me now and go to dinner." He had a stern face and was quite majestic.

Zheng Qing burst out laughing, hurriedly covered her mouth with her hands, and said angrily: "Full up!"

Zheng Zhou was naturally happy to love his daughter so much and said with a smile: "Wanrong, the food is ready, let's eat together."

I ate a few pieces of mixed fruits in the palace, but I just put them on the bottom. This was right. Chen Wanrong responded and followed Zheng Zhou to the house. As soon as I entered the house, Qing'e was busy setting up food. Seeing Chen Wanrong come in, he made a face and teased: "Oh, Master Guan is back."

Chen Wanrong put on a stern face and took on the airs of an official: "Bold lady, why don't you meet the official family quickly!"

After a word came to an end, not only Qing'e smiled, but even Zheng Qing and his daughter were both over-the-top. Qing'e pointed at Chen Wanrong and scolded her: "I'm not ashamed!"

While patting on the official uniform, Chen Wanrong asked with confidence: "Do you have one?"

Qing'e wouldn't admit defeat: "That's because I don't want this skin, otherwise I'd have ten ones."

Zheng Zhou knew that Qing'e and Chen Wanrong were not in the way, so he came to smooth things over: "Wanrong, it's time to eat. Girl, Qing'e, sit down quickly."

Qing'e is a special person, and it is normal for him to eat together. Chen Wanrong pulled Zheng Qing down, grabbed the chopsticks, picked up a piece of meat and put it in Zheng Qing's bowl, then picked up another piece of meat and stuffed it into his mouth. Suddenly, he stopped: "Who made it?" Chen Wanrong ate too much of the dish that Zheng Qing cooked, and once he tasted it, he knew that the dish was cooked well, but it was not Zheng Qing's skill, so he asked this question.

Zheng Zhou smiled and said, "It's the green calyx. The green calyx's vegetables are also good."

Chen Wanrong teased: "I thought you could only run errands, but I didn't expect you could cook."

Qing'e tilted her head: "If I don't burn it, who will burn it? Some people know how to guard the gate."

Before he could finish his words, Zheng Qing scolded lightly: "Don't say it!" His pretty face turned red suddenly.

Although he didn't say it clearly, Chen Wanrong thought of it. Since Chen Wanrong went to court, Zheng Qing had no intention of doing anything else. She kept guarding the door and waiting for Chen Wanrong to come back. Chen Wanrong was very moved by Yiren's deep affection and secretly scolded the ministers who didn't know the current affairs in their hearts, knowing that they quarreled and wasting precious time.

Zheng Zhou smiled: "Wanrong, tell me about you."

Knowing that they wanted to know what happened, Chen Wanrong wanted to say. As soon as he finished speaking, Zheng Zhou was very happy and praised: "Wanrong, I really didn't expect you to be so promising. Now you have a house given by the emperor. From now on, you will have a place to settle in Chang'an."

"Mom, look at what you said, it seems like he is sleeping on the street!" Zheng Qing disagreed and looked at Chen Wanrong.

Zheng Zhou's face sank and she cried out: "Girl, I'm facing him before I get married."

"Mom!" Zheng Qing couldn't stand it, and a red flower bloomed on her face. Zheng Zhou said hurriedly: "I won't say it anymore, I won't say it anymore. Wanrong, this person needs to have a home when he is alive. If you want to come here, you won't have a word. But it's not as good as your own home. Now the emperor gives you a house and clean up well, and you can get married." He aimed at Zheng Qing intentionally or unintentionally.

It’s not impossible to live in Zheng’s Mansion for a long time. It’s just that there is something missing. It’s better to have your own residence. Zheng Zhou’s words sound a bit unpleasant, but they are the truth. Chen Wanrong responded seriously: “Mother-in-law, you’re right. I’ll go and have a look later and then find someone to clean up.”

"Who are you looking for? You're just seeing someone outside? There are still some people in the mansion, just ask them to clean up." Zheng Zhou was a little unhappy.

This is also good. Chen Wanrong thanked him and ate a big gulp. After dinner, he took a break and went back to the house to change his clothes. When he came back from the court, he was busy eating and had not taken off his official uniform. Chen Wanrong always felt a little awkward about this official uniform. If he could not wear it, he would not wear it. Zheng Qing followed him to the house and helped change his clothes.

With Zheng Qing's help, he changed his clothes and looked at the bronze mirror. The former Chen Wanrong was back. Zheng Qing stood by her side silently, looking at Chen Wanrong with a happy face. Chen Wanrong felt tenderness in her heart, and he was about to joking with her shoulders. Zheng Zhou's voice sounded: "Shopkeeper Gao, Shopper Ma, Shifeng blows you? Please sit in the room quickly."

Zheng Qing burst into laughter, and the world of two people full of sweet words was not enough. Chen Wanrong smiled helplessly and turned around and went out. Zheng Qing came out, took the door with her, and followed Chen Wanrong to the living room.

When they arrived at the living room, they saw Gao Qingtai and Ma Zhizhong drinking tea accompanied by Zheng Zhou. When they saw Chen Wanrong coming in, they stood up and laughed before saying a word: "Brother Chen, congratulations on being an official!"

The seventh-rank official's sesame and mung beans are bigger. What's the point of congratulations? Chen Wanrong smiled and said, "I've seen two elder brothers, please sit down. A single official is not worth mentioning."

"It's good for the official! "High!" Gao Qingtai sat down and commented: "Brother Chen, you have to know that there is an official, and it's much more convenient to do business. The official is an official, and he is not in charge of the business, and he doesn't have to bear to do business. The elder brother also thinks of such good things, but he just has no life."

Ma Zhizhong immediately continued: "That's it! Brother, you are born in blessings and don't know how to be blessed!"

Gao Qingtai pointed at Chen Wanrong and joked: "Brother, you didn't say anything when you became an official. Are you afraid that we will benefit from it? Brother, will you gain something when you go to court today?"

They even knew about this. Chen Wanrong was a little curious. He accidentally saw Zheng Zhou blushing and suddenly realized that it must be what she said. The son-in-law was so capable, not even saying that he was promoted to three levels, and the emperor personally gave him a house. It would be unreasonable if she didn't rush to tell Gao Ma and the other two.

Chen Wanrong smiled and said, "Where is the harvest? The court asked for another 100,000 kilograms of alcohol. I am worried. Two brothers, where did the condenser last time? I'll do some now."

Ma Zhizhong waved his hand: "Brother, don't worry about this, Lao Gao and I will help you."

"How did that happen? There are so many things I want this time." Chen Wanrong flatly rejected.

High Definition Tai joked: "Brother Chen, it's not impossible to help you, but there are conditions. It's just that Lao Ma and I received a lot of alcohol. How long did you deliver this guy? I'm two thousand jin."

"I'm one thousand seven hundred kilograms." Ma Zhizhong looked at Chen Wanrong: "Brother, you can't just stay in the court. We have to take care of it here. Otherwise, how can we explain it?"

There are quite a lot of orders worth almost 4,000 kilograms in the current situation, and he has put in a lot of effort. Chen Wanrong thought for a while and said, "Two brothers, please be relieved, I will definitely do it for you."

Gao Ma and the other two were relieved. Ma Zhizhong clapped his hands and smiled, "Brother, if you say this, brother will feel relieved."

Gao Qingtai was very excited and smiled and said, "Brother, the emperor gave you a house. Can you let your elder brother go and see it too?"

What a glorious thing the emperor gave the house. It was normal for them to go and see it. They gave Chen Wanrong some more things. This is the friendship. Chen Wanrong understood his thoughts and said, "Okay! If the eldest brother doesn't dislike it, there will be no problem."

Ma Zhizhong was a little anxious: "Brother, where is your mansion?"

"Changlefang!" Chen Wanrong replied casually.

"Changlefang?" Gao Qingtai's eyes bulged into the top: "Brother, where is Changlefang?"

Chen Wanrong pondered for a moment and said, "I have never been to the specific location of Changlefang East Street, so I can't explain it clearly."

The high-definition Thai voice was a little sharp and sharp: "Brother, there is only one building there. It is the emperor's hidden residence. Twenty years ago, the emperor lived there. It was also there. The emperor became the emperor for the first time. After abdicating, the house was abandoned and no one lived there again." Ruizong gave up the world three times in his life and ascended the throne twice. His experience was unique in Chinese history. Now it is the second time he ascended the throne.
