Chapter 826: In front of Yingfeng Building, son-in-law selection meeting, friends meet again
Gong Yu shed tears.
These were tears of excitement and joy. Zhou Chen's words did not have so many gorgeous words and did not have so many guarantees, but they made her feel more at ease than any love words or guarantees.
The words "my woman" made her feel that she was the happiest person in the world at this moment, and she wanted to cry more than ever before.
Zhou Chen gently wiped Gong Yu's tears with his fingers and said softly: "Be my woman, you can't cry casually."
Gong Yu nodded heavily: "I won't cry, young master, and I won't cry anymore in the future."
"Even if our Gong Yu is crying, she still looks very beautiful."
Gong Yu couldn't hold it back and burst out laughing, looking into Zhou Chen's eyes, which were full of tenderness.
"Master, let me take care of you and rest."
After saying this, her face turned red, and she was willing to give everything she had to Zhou Chen.
Zhou Chen gently stroked her cheek: "I understand what you mean, but I don't want to be here. When I buy a house of our own in the capital, we can really be together again, okay?"
Gong Yu's eyes suddenly turned red again. She understood what Zhou Chen meant. Although Miaoyinfang was their territory, it was still a brothel.
Zhou Chen doesn't want to have her here because this is a brothel. Zhou Chen loves her and respects her, so he doesn't want to be abused by her, even if she doesn't care.
"Thank you, Master, why are you so nice to me?" Gong Yu took the initiative to hug Zhou Chen tightly.
Zhou Chen chuckled, hugged Gong Yu tightly, and said softly: "You are my woman, if I am not good to you, who should I be good to? But being my woman is a hard job, and you know that I am too lazy to do it.
very."
Gong Yu said happily: "I am willing. I am willing to take care of you all my life. I will do whatever you ask me to do."
"How silly."
Women in love are very stupid, Zhou Chen knows this very well, that is, after meeting a good and responsible man like him.
After a long while, Gong Yu remembered what happened today. She told Zhou Chen about Yan Yujin and Mu Nihuang's visit.
Zhou Chen frowned after hearing this. He did not expect that Mu Nihuang not only did not forget him, but even found Miaoyinfang and Gong Yu for him.
This gave him a headache. It seemed that this matter had to be resolved as soon as possible. It was best to tell Mei Changsu and express his thoughts first.
As for Mu Nihuang, to be honest, he is not a gentleman to begin with. For a handsome and heroic woman like Mu Nihuang, it would be a bit hypocritical to say that she is not tempted at all, but he can restrain himself and knows that he cannot do that.
It's just that he underestimated Mu Nihuang's persistence, and now he can only let Mei Changsu handle it. Maybe the childhood sweethearts between Mei Changsu and Mu Nihuang can offset Mu Nihuang's thoughts.
In ancient times, it was normal to have three wives and four concubines, but if he wanted to do this, he could just find someone else.
Besides, now that he has accepted Gong Yu, he has no such thoughts at all for the time being.
Compared with women, practicing martial arts is also a very good choice. Over the years, he has experienced the joy of practicing martial arts.
"Don't worry about this matter, I will take care of it."
"Sir, no matter what choice you make, I will support you, but as for the sect master..."
Gong Yu looked worried. She had seen what Mei Changsu was capable of. Although she knew that Zhou Chen and Mei Changsu had a very good relationship, she was still worried when it came to Mei Changsu's fiancée.
Zhou Chen smiled slightly and said: "Don't worry too much, Xiaoshu, ugh..."
Thinking of Mei Changsu's character and tragedy, he felt a faint worry in his heart.
Zhou Chen and Gong Yu were lying on the same bed, but they just hugged each other and slept and did nothing else.
After Mr. Thirteen came back, his expression changed slightly when he heard Aunt Hong's report. Before he could spread the news, Zhou Chen actually arrived at Miaoyinfang and even went to Gong Yu's room.
He hesitated for a long time, but finally did not dare to disturb Zhou Chen.
Although Zhou Chen is not his little master, his status is much higher than him. He is also one of the few people who knows Zhou Chen's true identity.
The next day, at three o'clock in the morning, Zhou Chen got dressed under Gong Yu's service. He agreed with Mei Changsu that he would go to Yingfeng Tower today.
"Sir, it's ready."
Gong Yu helped Zhou Chen tidy up his clothes, with a satisfied smile on his face. He could see Zhou Chen when he woke up early in the morning, and could also dress Zhou Chen with his own hands. She had grown so big, and it was the first time she felt so happy when she woke up in the morning.
.
Zhou Chen smiled and said, "It's great to have you here."
Gong Yu looked at Zhou Chen's clothes and said softly: "Master, I just looked at the clothes in your package. Two of them are worn out. I will go to the market today to buy some needlework and cloth to make you two new clothes.
."
"Okay, just don't choose too bright colors. As for the style, you decide on your own."
"good."
"If you don't have enough money, ask Mr. Thirteen. By the way, if he asks you what happened last night, just say it was my decision. If he wants to explain, let him come to me."
Now that he has decided to make Gong Yu his woman, Zhou Chen will naturally not let her be wronged. Compared with a Mr. Thirteen whom he has only met a few times, his Gong Yu is definitely more important.
Gong Yu said: "Mr. Thirteen takes good care of me and he won't make things difficult for me."
"That's best. I'll leave first. You can remember to eat later."
"Then young master, don't you want to eat? We have someone who can cook here, or I can go out and buy some for you."
"No need to go to such trouble. There are many stalls in Jinling City in the morning. They shouldn't be out at this time. I can just buy some when I go out later."
After Zhou Chen finished explaining, he opened the door and walked out. But as soon as he came downstairs, he saw a well-dressed, energetic old man with graying hair and beard.
The moment he saw the old man, he recognized him.
"Mr. Thirteen, you got up so early."
The old man was Mr. Thirteen, who was the former musician of Lin Shu's mother, Princess Jinyang. Although he had joined the Jiangzuo Alliance, he had not met Mei Changsu and Zhou Chen before.
"Son."
Mr. Thirteen followed the others and did not call him Deputy Sect Leader Zhou Chen, but Young Master.
But his eyes showed a bit of shock, because he had met Zhou Chen before the incident with the Red Flame Army, and Zhou Chen now was completely different from the past, with no similarity at all.
"You have changed a lot. When did you arrive in Jinling City? Have you met the young master?"
Zhou Chen said: "I met him last night. You haven't met him yet. He is just like me. He has changed a lot. You will know when you see him. I am going out to meet him now, so I won't tell you more."
, do you have anything you want me to bring to him?"
Mr. Thirteen thought for a while and replied: "No need, I believe I will be able to meet my little master soon."
He had something to report to Mei Changsu, but he definitely couldn't let Zhou Chen tell him. Moreover, Mei Changsu had already arrived in Jinling, and they would see each other soon.
"Okay, it's up to you, I'll leave first."
"Sir, please walk slowly."
When Zhou Chen walked out of Miaoyinfang, he found that there were people like him who only left after three hours of sunrise. They were all romantic figures.
After casually eating at a roadside stall, Zhou Chen wandered around Jinling City.
When I came last night, there were no people on the streets, but now, the streets are full of people, coming and going, people setting up stalls, buying things, and performing acrobatics...
He was filled with emotion, it was indeed the capital city, it was so lively even in the morning.
In this era of sparse population, as the capital of Daliang, the permanent population of Jinling City has reached hundreds of thousands.
If you include the people living in Jinling City in the surrounding areas and the unrecorded criminal households, the number is estimated to exceed one million.
You must know that this is not more than a thousand years later. The total population of China in this era is estimated to be only tens of millions. Even if the population of some remote places is included, it should not exceed 100 million.
It is really amazing that a capital city can gather millions of people.
Something big happened in the city today, so the city was extremely lively, with people coming and going, and you could even see a few foreigners dressed differently from the people from the Central Plains.
Princess Nihuang's son-in-law selection meeting was held at the Yingfeng Tower outside the Zhuque Gate of Jinling Palace. The Yingfeng Tower is a royally regulated building of praise with Zhuliang glazed tiles. Since the third generation of Emperor Liang, many members of the Daliang royal family such as
Celebrations such as weddings and coming-of-age ceremonies are held here to congratulate the people.
Although Princess Nihuang is not from the Xiao family of Daliang, she has great achievements and great fame in the world. The special treatment she receives in the Daliang court is always better than that of a royal princess, so the venue for her son-in-law selection meeting is naturally set at
Yingfeng Tower.
As early as a month ago, Emperor Liang ordered the Ministry of Industry to send personnel to build a ring in the huge square in front of Yingfeng Tower, and set up a five-color brocade tent around the platform for the nobles to sit and watch the battle.
As for ordinary officials and other distinguished people, they were scattered outside the shed, and further outside were civilians who, after verification and permission, could come in and watch from a distance.
And those ordinary people who have no power and no means are not even qualified to get close. They can only stay outside and wait for the people watching the excitement in front to come and share with them.
Zhou Chen did not go there early in the morning because he knew that today was the first day of the son-in-law selection meeting. Emperor Liang would be there in person, followed by a series of etiquette nonsense. He was too lazy to join in the fun, let alone kowtow to the Dog Emperor.
.
He planned to wait until Emperor Liang left before going to Yingfeng Tower.
While Zhou Chen was leisurely strolling around Jinling City, Xie Mansion and Yan Yujin arrived early in the morning, and then took Xiao Jingrui to the Snow Cottage.
"Yujin, didn't you say you were waiting for us outside the palace city? Why did you come here again?"
He had discussed it with Yan Yujin the day before yesterday, and they would meet outside the palace city at that time.
Yan Yujin looked melancholy: "I came to you for comfort."
Xiao Jingrui looked curious: "Looking for comfort from me? What's wrong with you? Could it be that the princess called you over and scolded you yesterday?"
"That's not true, but it's more sad than you said."
"Then what's going on? Tell me."
Yan Yujin opened his mouth and was about to say it, but after thinking about it, he shook his head and said, "Forget it, this is Sister Nihuang's private matter. I can't tell you. If word gets out, Sister Nihuang can chop me down with a sword."
Yes, yes, I can’t say.”
This made Xiao Jingrui even more curious: "What's going on? Why can't you tell me?"
"Stop asking, let's go, let's go find Brother Su and Fei Liu."
With that said, he took the lead and left first. Xiao Jingrui shook his head helplessly from behind. Fortunately, he had long been accustomed to Yan Yujin's temperament of speaking topsy-turvy.
A few people had some fun in the snow hut, and finally, when it was almost noon, they headed to Yingfeng Tower.
Because Mei Changsu was in poor health, Xiao Jingrui very thoughtfully arranged for a carriage, while he and Yan Yujin led the way.
The group of people walked through the bustling streets. Xiao Jingrui and Yan Yujin were chatting and laughing. Yan Yujin also forgot what happened last night and his mood recovered again.
Zhou Chen approached Yingfeng Tower and saw the soldiers guarding outside. He suddenly remembered that he didn't seem to have anything included in the invitation letter. Without proof, it was estimated that the guards were unlikely to let him in.
Just when he was considering whether to use Qing Kung to enter the interior, a surprised voice suddenly sounded.
"Brother Yu?"
This familiar title suddenly reminded Zhou Chen of Xiao Jingrui, who had been traveling with him for more than half a month. Looking back, it turned out that it was true.
I saw Xiao Jingrui riding a tall horse, looking at him with a face full of surprise. Next to Xiao Jingrui, there was a slightly younger young man.
Xiao Jingrui quickly dismounted, threw the reins to Yan Yujin, and walked quickly to Zhou Chen.
"Brother Yu, it's really you. I thought I was dazzled and saw it wrong?"
Zhou Chen said with a smile: "Jing Rui, long time no see, you seem to have matured a lot."
The joy of reunion made Xiao Jingrui smile: "Brother Yu, when did you come to Jinling and why didn't you look for me?"
Zhou Chen said: "I just came to the capital yesterday. I heard there was a lot of fun today, so I came over, but I don't have any connections, so I probably won't be able to get in."
"What's so difficult about this? We happen to be going to Yingfeng Tower. Brother Yu, if you don't mind, you can come with us."
"Will there be any trouble?"
"No trouble, Brother Yu, you don't have to be so polite. I'm really happy to see Brother Yu here."
When Xiao Jingrui and Zhou Chen were chatting happily, Yan Yujin walked over curiously and took a look at Zhou Chen.
"Jing Rui, who is this friend?"
Xiao Jingrui immediately introduced: "Yujin, this is Brother Yu who I mentioned to you before, known as 'Gongzi Yu' in the world; Brother Yu, this is my childhood friend, we grew up together, Yan Yujin
, you can just call him Yujin."
"Gongziyu?"
Yan Yujin's eyes widened instantly, with a look of disbelief on his face.
Is it such a coincidence that he just heard the name Gong Ziyu last night and was greatly stimulated, and today he met the real person? This is too mysterious.
Yan Yujin's exaggerated expression surprised both Zhou Chen and Xiao Jingrui.
"Yujin, do you know Brother Yu?"
Yan Yujin came back to his senses, shook his head and said, "I don't know him, I just heard about him. I didn't expect that Gong Ziyu himself looks like this. I have admired him for a long time."
His eyes never left Zhou Chen, and his mind was full of thoughts.
To be fair, Gong Ziyu's appearance is quite good, but I don't know what he is like as a person, but he can make both Miss Gong Yu and Sister Nihuang fall in love with him, and Jing Rui also admires him, so he must be a good person.
Zhou Chen also politely cupped his fists and saluted: "Master Yan."
Of course he knew Yan Yujin and had met him before, but at that time Yan Yujin was just a little kid of a few years old.
Xiao Jingrui added: "I also have a friend and his bodyguard in the carriage. He is not in good health. I will introduce him to Brother Yu later after I get off the carriage, but I think you must know his name, Brother Yu."
."
But who would have expected that the curtain of the carriage was suddenly opened, and with Fei Liu's help, Mei Changsu got out of the carriage and walked towards them.
"Brother Su, why are you down here?" Xiao Jingrui asked worriedly.
Mei Changsu said with a smile: "When I see an old friend, I naturally want to come over and meet him."
With that said, he saluted Zhou Chen.
"Brother Yu, we meet again."
Zhou Chen also cooperated with the acting: "Brother Su, I didn't expect that we could meet here today."
Fei Liu suddenly called out: "Brother Chen."
Xiao Jingrui and Yan Yujin were both very surprised. Xiao Jingrui was even more stunned and said: "Brother Su, Brother Yu, do you two know each other?"
Mei Changsu explained with a smile: "Brother Yu and I have known each other for more than ten years, but we have always been together less and more apart. Today, it is because of your light, Jingrui, that we can meet again."
