Fan Xian looked shocked: "The news of Red Mansion has reached Northern Qi?"
Zhan Pianpian nodded and said: "Yes, we in Daqi also sell Red Mansions, but not many people have seen it, and it has not been widely spread. Where did you get the Red Mansions of Qingguo?"
??????55.??????
Seeing that Zhan Pianpian was easy to get along with, Fan Ruoruo said at the right time: "My brother is already writing the next volume."
Zhan Pianpian's delicate eyes suddenly widened: "The Red Mansion was written by Young Master Fan?"
"Ah, no, it wasn't written by me, it was written by Mr. Cao."
Fan Xian tried his best to shirk the blame, but there was no Cao Xueqin in this world, so he could only take the credit.
The meal lasted for nearly an hour, after which Zhou Chen and Zhan Pianpian said goodbye to Fan Xian and others and went to play on the street again.
Fan Xian and others were still thinking about Zhou Chen and Zhan Pianpian, and Fan Xian couldn't help but sigh.
"I didn't expect that a great master like Lord Zhen Guo could be so tender. The look in his eyes is almost comparable to the look in my eyes when I look at Wan'er."
Teng Zijing said: "I think Duke Zhen and the princess of Northern Qi are a perfect match."
Wang Qinian: "Just like my wife and I, we have a deep relationship. It seems that there are similarities between me and Lord Zhen Guo."
Fan Xian glanced at Wang Qinian, really not wanting to expose his shortcomings.
Fan Ruoruo said: "This eldest princess of the Northern Qi Dynasty is truly devoted to Duke Zhen. She secretly followed the delegation to Kyoto just to meet Duke Zhen. Seeing how fragile and fragile she is, she has such a tough temper.
There are no rich ladies in Kyoto like her."
Only Fan Sizhe didn't bother to care about the relationship between men and women. He was still settling accounts. The meal just now cost him a lot of money.
Regarding Zhou Chen's whereabouts, the Inspection Institute and Emperor Qing have been paying attention, so Chen Pingping and Emperor Qing both know that Zhou Chen is taking Zhan Pianpian to play in Kyoto, and Zhan Pianpian's identity is not a secret in their eyes.
It's just that Chen Pingping was letting things go. This matter had nothing to do with him in the first place, and it was just his duty to keep an eye on it.
Emperor Ke Qing was different. When he learned that Zhou Chen and Zhan Pianpian were together, he thought a lot about whether he could use Zhan Pianpian to target Zhou Chen.
But after thinking for a long time, he still didn't take any action. Now Ye Liuyun didn't reply to him at all. He really couldn't deal with Zhou Chen by himself.
In recent days, he has also been thinking about two other possibilities. One is to use Wu Zhu, but he can't figure out where Wu Zhu is now, and Wu Zhu only listens to Ye Qingmei, so he may not be able to convince Wu Zhu.
Another way is to contact the temple messenger. He has always wanted to find the temple. Although he still doesn't know the secret of the temple, he has a way to contact the temple messenger.
It's just that he has been hesitating. The temple messenger is not so easy to use, and it is also his trump card. He doesn't know if it is worth it to deal with Zhou Chen.
If possible, he still didn't want to face Zhou Chen head-on. The best choice would be to use strategies to get rid of Zhou Chen or subdue Zhou Chen.
After thinking about it for a long time, he still had not made a decision.
Regardless of how decisive and resolute Emperor Qing is in the plot, in fact, he is only as strong as he is under circumstances that he can control.
If it is difficult to deal with him or he is not sure, he will become indecisive and continue to plot and plot, and will only take action when he feels confident.
The summary is that he is very afraid of death, has no absolute certainty, is unwilling to expose himself, and is unwilling to take action himself.
People who are accustomed to conspiracy will gradually become gloomy in character.
Zhou Chen has been accompanying Zhan Pianpian, and in the evening, he took a carriage to the Liujing River to see the night view of the Liujing River.
At the end of the day, Zhan Pianpian was very tired. When she returned to the mansion, she went to wash up and rest, while Zhou Chen came to the study alone.
"Master, this is an invitation sent by Director Chen of the Inspection Institute."
Tong Quan handed the invitation from the inspection institute to Zhou Chen.
Zhou Chen took it and looked at it. It was indeed an invitation from Chen Pingping, inviting him and Zhan Pianpian to get together at Chen Garden outside the city tomorrow.
"You ask someone to send a message and say we will go tomorrow."
"Yes, Master."
Chen Pingping's Chen Yuan is different from ordinary official residences. Chen Pingping put all the things that Emperor Qing rewarded in Chen Yuan. Chen Pingping not only covers a huge area, but also has extravagant courtyards. There are also all kinds of rare and precious animals and plants.
There are even more people inside, and there are only a lot more girls than those in brothels.
Chen Yuan's luxury was also intentional on Chen Pingping's part. After all, as a courtier, if you have no desires or demands, how can the superiors trust you?
Early the next morning, before Zhou Chen and Zhan Pianpian could set out, Chen Pingping had already arranged a carriage to greet them.
Zhou Chen was not polite and asked He Qin to rest today. She and Zhan Pianpian got into the carriage alone, while Sang Wen refused to go with him because he was not feeling well.
On the carriage, Zhan Pianpian was talking to Zhou Chen about Chen Pingping with great interest.
"Even in the inner courtyard of the palace, I also know the name of Chen Pingping from the Qingguo Inspection and Examination Institute. The rumor among us is very powerful, saying that he has a green face and fangs, is five feet tall, has three heads and six arms..."
Looking at Zhan Pianpian's narration, Zhou Chen found it very interesting. This child has not been out of the palace for a long time. She is so innocent that she may believe whatever others say.
"If you think so, you will be very disappointed when you see him later."
"Isn't he scary looking?"
"He doesn't look scary, but when he's angry, he's probably a bit scary. But with me here, he won't get angry in front of you, so you don't have to worry."
Zhan Pianpian smiled sweetly and said, "I'm not worried. With you by my side, I won't worry about anything happening."
Chen Yuan is outside the city of Kyoto, so only outside the city can a huge Chen Yuan be built. Within the city, except for the imperial palace, it is impossible to have such a large mansion.
After leaving the city, the carriage drove for another quarter of an hour before arriving at Chen Garden.
As soon as I got off the carriage, I saw Shadow pushing Chen Pingping and waiting at the gate of Chen Garden.
"Dong Zhenguo, Your Highness the Princess."
"Dean Chen."
Zhan Pianpian also called out 'Dean Chen' after Zhou Chen, and looked at Chen Pingping curiously, wanting to see if this spy king who had made countless people in Northern Qi fearful was so terrifying.
Chen Pingping said enthusiastically: "Dong Zhenguo, Your Highness, please come in."
Walking into Chenyuan, it is indeed different from ordinary mansions. Strange flowers and plants can be seen everywhere, and there are even peacocks and some unusual small animals.
"I collected these from various places and brought them back to Chen Yuan to keep them. They can also make me laugh."
"Dean Chen is so elegant."
Zhan Pianpian's eyes were almost blurry. In just a short time, she saw many flowers, plants and animals that she had never seen before.
When they arrived at the hospital, Chen Pingping immediately asked people to come over to play music and dance. It must be said that Chen Pingping really knew how to enjoy herself. The people she hired were all beautiful women, and the musicians were also very outstanding.
After watching some singing and dancing and listening to some music, it was lunch time. Chen Pingping was very enthusiastic and set a table with delicious food.
Shortly after lunch, an episode occurred.
The shadow wrapped in a black robe kept winking at Chen Pingping, and Chen Pingping spoke helplessly.
"Mr. Zhen Guo, I have something to ask you if I can trouble you."
"What's up?"
Chen Pingping pointed to the shadow beside her and said: "This is my guard. The shadow is just a martial arts fanatic. He always wants to see the gap between himself and the grand master. He overestimates his abilities, so if it is convenient for the Duke of Zhen,
If so, teach him a lesson and let him understand the gap between himself and the Grand Master."
Sorry, this is the only update for today. The child at home has repeatedly had a fever above 5 degrees. I have been struggling all day. I finally finished coding a chapter and I really can’t open my eyes. I need to rest! I hope I don’t have to worry about it anymore at night. Alas.
