Three hundred and fortieth chapters no need to mention
Han Wen frowned and asked, "You mean the King of Wei met with someone secretly?"
"Yes, King Wei was drinking in the main hall. Later, Butler Pan came and said something to King Wei. Not long after, King Wei said he was drunk and wanted to go back to rest. But someone saw that King Wei did not
We went to the study room instead of the bedroom. Butler Pan was always guarding outside, and no one dared to approach."
If Butler Pan was here, he would recognize that the person talking to Han Wen was a steward of the outer courtyard of the Wei Palace.
"Do you know the identity of the person coming?" Han Wen asked.
The steward of the outer palace shook his head and said: "Steward Pan is King Wei's confidant. He has made the management of the inner courtyard so watertight that he can't penetrate it at all. We only know that King Wei met a man, but the identity of the man is unknown.
.”
"Okay, I understand, you have to continue to infiltrate the inner courtyard." Han Wen said.
"Yes." The steward of the outer courtyard nodded and retreated.
…
Cheng Chumo returned home smelling of alcohol and was about to sneak back to his yard.
However, as soon as he arrived at the door of the courtyard, he saw the housekeeper Cheng Fu standing at the door of the courtyard, looking at him with a smile.
"Uncle Fu, what are you doing here?" Cheng Chumo had a bad feeling.
Cheng Fu smiled and said: "Da Lang, I have been waiting for you for a long time. When I heard that you were back, I asked my slave to call you."
"Go tell my dad and I'll be there right away," Cheng Chumo said.
Cheng Fu said: "The master told Dalang to go see him immediately."
After Cheng Chumo and Yuchi Baolin left Mingyue Pavilion, they went to another house.
The brothel was filled with the smell of rouge. Even if he was just drinking and chatting, his body would still be stained with the smell of rouge.
He was also planning to change his clothes and go see his father again, but it seemed that he couldn't do it now. He nodded depressedly and followed Cheng Fu to the hall.
Cheng Yaojin was sitting there, with a large jar of wine and a large bowl of meat on the table in front of him.
Cheng Yaojin didn't want anyone to serve him, so he grabbed a big leg of lamb and chewed it until his mouth was filled with oil. He was so happy.
"Dad." Cheng Chumo shouted, carefully looking at his father's face.
Cheng Yaojin put down the leg of lamb, picked up the wine bowl, tilted his neck, drank the wine in a rumbling manner, picked up the handkerchief on the table, wiped his mouth, and said, "Come to me."
"Dad, just stand here, kid. If you have anything to say, just say it." Cheng Chumo said.
Cheng Yaojin said nothing and looked at Cheng Chumo with his big copper bell eyes.
Cheng Chumo was timid and slowly walked up to Cheng Yaojin.
Cheng Yaojin sniffed it with his nose, and when he noticed the smell of rouge, he became furious and slapped Cheng Chumo in greeting.
Cheng Chumo had long been accustomed to this kind of situation, and he dodged as fast as he could, making Cheng Yaojin's slap in vain.
"Dad, please talk to me if you have something to say." Cheng Chumo said.
"What the hell, don't you know that I'm helping you negotiate a marriage? How dare you go to a brothel? You're quite capable? Now that everyone has made such a fuss, I've been completely embarrassed by you." Cheng Chumo spat like stars flying around.
, if Cheng Chumo hadn't been a little far away, Cheng Chumo could have felt how angry Cheng Yaojin was just by spitting.
"Dad, are you exaggerating?" Cheng Chumo muttered.
"Exaggeration? How many times have I told you? Where is Chang'an? Do you think ordinary people don't know about your jealousy in Mingyue Pavilion today? How can those lords know about it? Because of this, I have been accused of dragging a matchmaker to help you negotiate a marriage.
If someone refuses, I will become a joke." Cheng Yaojin cursed.
He and Mrs. Cui selected a family and dragged a matchmaker to their door today. Because of this matter, they politely refused.
When did Cheng Yaojin lose this person?
"If you refuse, just refuse. I don't like it." Cheng Chumo muttered in a low voice.
But Cheng Yaojin's ears were very good and he could hear clearly.
"I'll beat you to death, you treacherous son." Cheng Yaojin looked around and saw that there was no one who could match him. He waved his fist and chased after Cheng Chumo.
Cheng Chumo shouted while running: "Dad, I don't understand why you are in such a hurry to get me married."
"The battlefield is dangerous. If you want to join the army, if you don't get married early and have a wife, what if something unexpected happens?" Cheng Yaojin said.
Cheng Chumo said: "Dad, aren't you cursing me?"
"Beat you? I'm going to beat you to death now." Cheng Yaojin said cursingly.
After hearing the report from her servant, Mrs. Cui came to the hall and saw the father and son chasing each other.
Mrs. Cui quickly stopped Cheng Yaojin and said, "If you have something to say, please tell me."
"If you say it well, he must listen." Cheng Yaojin said.
Cui looked at Cheng Chumo and said, "Chumo, your father asked you to get married for your own good. Even if you don't go to the battlefield, you should get married at this age."
"Mom, I understand. I listen to you."
Cheng Chumo still respected this stepmother very much.
Ms. Cui smiled softly and said, "Master, look, isn't it useful to talk it over carefully?"
"What's the use of listening now? I went to a brothel when discussing marriage, and my reputation is ruined." Cheng Yaojin said angrily.
Mrs. Cui said: "If it doesn't work, my mother's family has a niece who is born in the fifth dress. She is beautiful and has a good family background. I will tell you that it will be fine."
Cheng Yaojin looked at Cui and said calmly: "Is this your idea? Or is it the Cui family's idea?"
Mrs. Cui lowered her head and said, "This is what my brother asked me to say in a letter."
Cheng Yaojin said: "You are from the Cui family, and my uncle has entrusted me with it. It's hard for you to refuse. Let's forget it this time. Don't mention this kind of thing again in the future."
His original marriage with the Cui family was also a condition of the family agreeing to support Li Shimin.
Not only him, but many of Li Shimin's confidants who did not have official wives at the time married daughters from aristocratic families.
But with Li Shimin's current attitude towards the aristocratic family, it is impossible for him to let Cheng Chumo marry a daughter from the aristocratic family.
"Master, I understand." Ms. Cui said in a somewhat depressed mood.
She would naturally be willing to get closer to her own family.
But she also knew what Cheng Yaojin was worried about.
"Mother." Cheng Chu thought to comfort her, but didn't know what to say.
Ms. Cui smiled and said, "No need to explain, I understand everything."
Cheng Yaojin said: "I have an old subordinate who is stationed in Shu. He has a daughter who is good in all aspects and lives in Chang'an. I will write him a letter. If he is willing, then you and his family
I want to meet my girl. He will return to Beijing to report on his work at the end of the year, and we can confirm it then. If you dare to cause any trouble for me this time, I will break your legs."
"Dad, I understand." Cheng Chumo shrank his neck.
"I heard that Lin Xuan was called by Li Xiaogong?" Cheng Yaojin asked.
Cheng Chumo nodded and explained the situation at that time.
"Dad, why is Prince Hejian looking for Lin Xuan?" Cheng Chumo asked.
Cheng Yaojin said angrily: "How do I know what that old fox has in mind? But he won't harm Lin Xuan."
In Cheng Yaojin's eyes, Li Xiaogong and Changsun Wuji are both old foxes.
He doesn't like people who like to make calculations all day long.
But Li Xiaogong and Changsun Wuji are different. Changsun Wuji wants to plan for the family, but Li Xiaogong doesn't.
Li Xiaogong called Lin Xuan over, maybe he was planning something, but he would not harm Lin Xuan.
Lin Xuan, who they were talking about, was at home thinking about what gifts to give Cheng Chumo and the three of them when they get married.
