Chapter 278: Changing the Sky
Chen Shou already knew Zhang Zhengyuan’s intention, but he couldn’t tell everyone, after all, he had to be careful of someone’s information.
Most of the officials in the court were written by Wei Yunse, who was the head of the Wei family in Lianghuai.
It is difficult to guarantee that those officials who have been sent to him have no connection with the Wei family. Once the message is passed, Zhang Zhengyuan will not waste his efforts and will also waste the attack time in vain.
To be on the safe side, Chen Shou only told Gao Huan, who was engaged in intelligence, and the others kept it confidential.
Therefore, these civil and military officials became increasingly worried, and some even proposed to send people to assassinate Zhang Zhengyuan.
Chen Shou had just sent Liu Zhiying away. This was his third time. It was not that Chen Shou did not trust him. This was his own hardcore confidant, but it didn't matter to tell him that he was proud to say to his relatives.
If you know more people, you will have more risks. Keeping confidentiality is also responsible for the frontline soldiers.
Liu Zhiying walked to the door and sighed: "Mr. Marquis, don't be satisfied. You must know that a thousand-mile dike will collapse into an ant hole."
Chen Shou waved his hand and said, "I have my own sense of responsibility."
After seeing Liu Zhiying off, Chen Shou collapsed on the chair and rubbed his temples.
Suddenly, a sound of piano came from behind, and a touch of sound of orioles was melodious. When the tone changed, the music was light and like the autumn breeze.
The third floor of his waterside pavilion is exquisitely structured. For convenience of service, the maids can come up directly from the stairs behind them, without having to walk through the door to cook tea and pour water.
Chen Shou didn't have to look back and knew that only Xue Shao was at this level.
He waved his hand gently, Xue Shao held the strings and walked around from behind the screen.
Her eyes were still a little red and swollen, but she obviously had made up. When she walked to Chen Shou, Yingying bowed and said, "Master, I haven't even been grateful for the piano that Master has appreciated."
Chen Shou smiled and pinched her chin and said, "The affairs of Nan Tang involve a lot of interests, you don't understand. The Du family and the navy have no ability to protect themselves, but they have to offer their two daughters to seek power, so they will naturally become the living targets of the navy. They just used your letter box to make a lead. Without this, they would also concoct some crimes."
"I will naturally tell you these truths. You shouldn't be too stubborn and even have the idea of suicide."
Xue Shao was a little moved. Sure enough, the man in front of him was for himself, and he hated that he still caused trouble for him at this time.
Chen Shou laughed and said, "You don't have to worry too much. Du Luorui heard that she is a rare beauty. Such a beauty will be fine. At worst, you can take Nan Tang at that time. I will take her for you and let you serve your grandfather with her."
Xue Shao was originally moved, but when he heard this, he blushed and immediately changed the subject: "Master, this piano is so expensive, and it's probably a shame to the maid."
Chen Shou laughed and said, "No matter how precious the piano is, it is still a dead thing. How can it be compared with a beautiful woman who is full of beauty? I heard that some wealthy young men are willing to exchange their concubines for a good horse. It is ridiculous and heartless. Remember, since you are my woman, there is no dead thing, which is more precious than you."
Xue Shao's eyes were wet again. This time she was moved. She rose up and took the initiative to sit on Chen Shou's legs for the first time. Her buttocks obviously didn't sit down with all her strength, and her legs were supporting the ground, and she was trembling slightly.
It is common for wealthy families to treat concubines as unwilling to be regarded as common people. In their eyes, this is just a thing, and there is no difference between it and the slingshot in their hands and the fan pendant. This kind of incredible idea that Chen Shou seemed to be is something that most people in this era think is rightful.
Chen Shou easily carried her into his arms, touched her snow cheeks, and asked, "Does it still hurt?"
"It hurts so much, but I know that my master is doing it for my own good. If I don't feel relieved, I will slap it a few more."
Taoer came in with tea behind the screen, and happened to see this scene, pouted and said, "I am so interested. I pity my sisters, I was whipped for no reason."
Xue Shao blushed and lowered his head and said, "I'm sorry, it's my fault, I'll make you punished."
Chen Shou laughed and said, "Don't be making noise here, you little hoof, it's not like this. Your pink and white ass was beaten by the master. What's wrong with just pretending to relieve your boredom?"
Liu'er was much bolder than Xue Shao. She put down the teacup and sat directly on Chen Shou's other leg, hugged Chen Shou's neck, and said aggrievedly: "I can suck as much as I want, and slap us as I want. I shouldn't treat us as an irritating bucket."
Chen Shou made a gesture to beat him and laughed and scolded, "You are the most restless guy. You are usually in the pile of maids and maids, but today you are ungrateful and arrogant. You whip you and get complaining to me. I want to see how beautiful you are, and whether your master can twitch you."
Liu'er smiled and avoided it, saying, "I'd better care for Sister Xue, so Liu'er won't disturb you, so as not to let go of the girl. Although she doesn't let go of her mouth, she will blame her for being misleading your good things in her heart."
Chen Shou patted Xue Shao in her arms. Although she had to pluck her courage to sit on Chen Shou's legs, she was probably even more tired than standing.
"Today I'll let Su Qiongzhi go to the summer palace to play. If you go with her, just take a break."
Xue Shao responded obediently, stood up and said with great blessings, and hugged Qin Niao and retreated from the screen gracefully.
As soon as the person left, another sound came from the stairs, and Chen Shou was startled.
When he walked over, he saw that it was Huang Zhen again. He took two steps in three steps, took the lead behind the screen, and picked up Xue Shao who was walking in the waist, "I'm going with you."
Xue Shao shouted, and was held by Chen Shou, and his hands naturally wrapped around his neck.
Her eyes seemed to be unable to move away, and she looked at Chen Shou's cheeks. The waves were as flowing as water, and she couldn't bear to move them away for a moment.

Yangzhou City, Wei Family Garden.
It was bustling with luxury carriages, crowded at the door.
Today is the day when Yangzhou City sends an envoy to negotiate with the officers and soldiers in Huaiyin.
It is said to be a peace talk, and everyone knows that it is a decent surrender.
Because the Huai Army had been defeated and had no courage to continue fighting, the officers and soldiers were as powerful as rainbows.
Although I don’t know why they stopped in Huaiyin, those who have the courage to continue to resist were all small officials.
The major families led by the leaders have already undermined the Wei family. After they voted, they agreed unanimously.
Come to the Wei family just to go through the motions. After all, if you really surrender, even if you look for a scapegoat, you have to recruit people from the Wei family to take the blame.
On both sides of the road, many people spontaneously walked onto the streets, watching the envoys from Yangzhou Prefecture, set out from the street and headed straight to the city gate.
The whispers gathered into buzzing sounds, all of which were discussing the surrender of the Huai Army.
"This day, it's going to change."
