Dingzhou City has not changed in any way because of the addition of a few new faces.
At dawn, the gates of Dingzhou City opened.
People outside the city would carry their chosen vegetables into the city to sell them.
Although the weather is cold, the green vegetables are really beautiful.
When Zhao Chen came out of the room, there was no trace of Li Ke and others.
Cheng Chumo was the only one sitting on the first floor of the inn.
Seeing Zhao Chen coming downstairs, Cheng Chumo immediately came up to greet him.
He also held an invitation in his hand.
The word "Xue" is written on it.
"People from the Xue Mansion just sent it." Cheng Chumo handed the invitation to Zhao Chen and said.
Cheng Chumo was just sitting here waiting for Zhao Chen when someone sent this invitation.
"Zhao Da, what's going on? Xue Wanche invited you to his house?" Cheng Chumo frowned.
Xue Wanche, as an old member of the former King of Qi, must have complaints against the current emperor.
When Zhao Chen, who was the most favored person around the emperor, went to Xue Wanche's house, even if Xue Wanche didn't take action, the embarrassment would always be inevitable.
"Why don't we go?" Cheng Chumo was still worried.
After all, the Xue Mansion is a local leader in Dingzhou. No matter how tough they are, they can't defeat Xue Wanche.
If he goes to Xue Mansion, if something happens to Zhao Chen, how will he explain it when he goes back?
"Go, the person who robbed my wallet yesterday was sent by Xue Wanche on purpose. Although I don't know his specific intention, I still have to get the money back." Zhao Chen waved his hand and walked outside the inn.
"Hey, Zhao Da!" Cheng Chu shouted silently, then chased after him.
…
The sun in early spring is not very hot.
On the contrary, it makes people feel warm.
The breeze blows gently, which is quite comfortable and comfortable, but it also makes people feel sleepy.
Although Dingzhou City is not as prosperous as Chang'an, it is still very lively.
The streets are lined with pavilions and shops.
Wangyou Bookstore showed huge financial resources and occupied half of the busiest street in Dingzhou City.
At a glance, students wearing Confucian uniforms were queuing up, waiting to buy books from Wangyou Bookstore.
There were also many maids from wealthy families lining up outside.
I think I bought it for their lady.
"Xiao Cui, I'm here to buy a storybook for your lady again today." Someone at the end of the line said to Miss Xue's maid.
"Hey, isn't that right? The young lady likes to read those stories about fox demons and scholars recently. Why don't you drive me over to sell them?"
"I didn't expect that with so many people, how long would it take to wait?" Xiao Cui complained to others.
"Well, my lady is the same. She said that the scene between the ghost girl Xiaoqian and the scholar Ning Caichen was so good. She really wanted to know the story behind it. Last night she asked me to come and buy it early this morning."
"Who knew, these guys didn't even go back last night, they were just waiting here." A person next to him also complained.
I have been writing the storybook for Liaozhai for another two or three months.
It is only now being sold in Dingzhou City, so the time is right.
"Hey, Xiaofang, let me tell you a secret." Xiaocui suddenly spoke mysteriously to the maid in front of her.
"What secret?"
"Your young lady has a husband she likes?"
"Then yours can be used as a maid in the house." Xiaofang from the front teased.
"What about the maidservant, that's all nonsense in the Book of Stones." Xiaocui pinched Xiaofang and said, "Yesterday, the lady and I came back from outside the city. When we first entered the city, we saw someone."
"Guess who he is!"
Xiaocui clasped her hands behind her back, looking mysterious.
"Who?"
"Zhao Chen!" Xiao Cui whispered his name.
"That's the Zhao Chen you think of."
"And let me tell you, that Zhao Chen will visit our Xue Mansion today. Let me tell you, that Zhao Chen is very good-looking."
"You are capable, good-looking, and a popular person around the emperor. Who would be so lucky to be his wife?" Xiaocui sighed to Xiaofang in a low voice.
"The owner of Wangyou Bookstore, Zhao Chen from Chang'an City?" Xiaofang obviously didn't believe it.
"Xiao Cui, are you kidding me? Why would a person like that come to our Dingzhou City?" Someone nearby heard Xiao Cui's words and couldn't help but question it.
"How can this be a joke? He said it himself yesterday. If you don't believe it, you can go to the door of our Xue Mansion later and watch."
"See if I'm kidding." Xiao Cui snorted.
Zhao Chen's fame is far greater than he imagined.
As long as Wangyou Bookstore's story books are sold in Dingzhou, they will be sold out within one day.
Those storybooks are very well written.
It is very easy to bring people into the world of story books.
Anyone who reads these storybooks will feel happy or sad for the protagonist in the story...
"Visiting Xue Mansion?"
"Xiao Cui, you are not joking. If this is really the case, I will go back and tell my lady now."
"She would be extremely happy if she heard the news about Zhao Chen coming to Dingzhou."
"Maybe those who can't buy a storybook today won't have to suffer the beating."
"Of course I'm not joking." Xiao Cui nodded.
"Looking like this today, I can't buy a storybook. I'd better go back first. Yesterday I just had a quick glance. Today I have to take a good look at that legendary figure." Xiaocui was talking to others, but he turned around and went to Xue
Go back home.
All the maids who bought storybooks for their young ladies also ran to their homes at this moment.
What kind of story book can you buy to see Zhao Chen's true face, that is much more important than what kind of story book you buy.
All of a sudden, all the maids who were queuing up to buy storybooks for their ladies ran away.
This left a group of scholars in Dingzhou City who didn't know what was going on, and they all looked at each other with big eyes and small eyes.
…
"Zhao Da, something is wrong with the situation ahead."
"Xue Wanche can't be an old pervert, right? The street outside his house is full of all kinds of little girls, all looking at the door of Xue's house."
Cheng Chumo was worried that Xue Wanche was plotting against Zhao Chen, so he insisted on checking outside Xue Mansion first.
It would be okay if he didn't look at it, but when he looked at it he almost frightened him to death.
On the street outside Xue Mansion, there were dozens of beautiful little girls standing in the street.
Seeing the fanatical expressions on their faces, Cheng Chumo didn't dare to stay.
He came back with his tail between his legs.
Cheng Chu thought silently, who in a normal family would let so many little girls stand at the door.
Xue Wanche must be an old pervert.
That old guy is choosing a concubine here!
"It's not as evil as you said." Zhao Chen smiled and took two steps forward. Cheng Chumo saw Zhao Chen step back again.
"Right, I just said that old guy Xue Wanche is not a good guy." Cheng Chumo complained.
Zhao Chen was a little embarrassed.
Did I catch up with Xue Wanche's activities?
What's the big deal with so many young girls surrounding his door?
"Are you Zhao Chen?" A deep voice suddenly came from above.
The two of them looked up and saw a man with tiger eyes lying on the wall, looking at themselves.
The strange thing was that when he saw Zhao Chen's appearance, his eyes flickered twice unnaturally.
"General Xue?" Zhao Chen raised his head and asked.
"It's Xue. The way forward is blocked. Come over the wall and come in!" Xue Wanche glanced at Zhao Chen again, turned over and went back into the wall.
Zhao Chen frowned, how could he invite someone to a banquet and then have someone climb over the wall to get in?
What do you think, why is Xue Wanche so unreliable??
