Tome of Troubled Times Chapter 764: Men

Chapter 764 Men

"You deliberately left Baoqin there to greet me, right?" Zhao Changhe asked Tang Wanzhuang in a low voice on the way into the palace.

"Alas..." Tang Wanzhuang sighed: "The West Chamber was stuffed under my nose. I usually wander around in the world with my cheek propped up when I have nothing to do. If I don't give you a chance, you **** girl will blame me to death."

Hold the head of the piano and kept his head low without speaking.

Tang Wanzhuang said: "You have such a good temper that you will never want to marry someone else. You will just turn a blind eye for a long time, which will hurt someone's heart sooner or later. If you really want to have a temporary marriage or something, I'm even more afraid that you might say something. If you refuse, something will happen, Mengzhuangxan... It's better to find a chance to get along with me first. I know you can't stand it when I hug Qin and scold others, so I will definitely give you an explanation. Isn't it easy to treat others in the future? It's better, she is my sister, but she really doesn't treat her like a maid."

Zhao Changhe took the hand holding Qin and raised it up: "Who said she was a maid? This is also my sister."

Tang Wanzhuang couldn't help but laugh: "You'd be happier if I gave you a new identity, right?"

Zhao Changhe also laughed: "I have given you many identities, just to chase you, not to play tricks."

"What other tricks do you want to play?" Tang Wanzhuang glanced around secretly and whispered: "Sometimes I really hope that what you do outside is not so outstanding. Every time I receive a message from you, I feel so happy. I feel like you are saying to me: It’s time to fulfill it... But I get angry when I see Huangfu, and I feel uncomfortable thinking about it. You really don’t know how many years we have been fighting.”

Zhao Changhe didn’t know whether to laugh or cry: "Those things, when the boat reaches the bridge, it is not good to force it. Just like today, I have said that there is really no need for you to drive me into the palace, how can you think about those things every day."

This time, Tang Wan, Zhuang Yue and Hong Ling both looked at him and felt that you had been very interested in making arrangements and combinations in the past few days. Why does it feel wrong today? Could it be bad? What should we do if you fail...

Zhao Changhe sighed and said: "I don't know if you have noticed. Every time you quarrel, I feel helpless. I don't know what to do. I'd be thankful if I don't quarrel now. I really don't dare to lose. Look at Shu first. Just like when you two met for the first time, how could you think that I would consider that? Really."

Everyone laughed. Thinking about it, it was true that he was helpless every time he faced a quarrel, which was quite different from his behavior outside.

The family banquet today is even more critical for him. There are so many people gathering together. At least Tang Wanzhuang knew that it was hard for her to be angry with Huangfu Qing, so I thought I should be like this.

When I arrived at the banquet hall, I saw Xia Chichi talking to Huangfuqing. Huangfuqing was sipping a cup of tea and nodding with satisfaction.

I don’t know what they are talking about. Anyway, the position where they sit is a typical shameless one near the water.

This is a large round table. The position facing the wall obviously belongs to the "chief seat". It is empty at the moment and seems to be reserved for the "head of the family". Don't look at these two, one is the Queen Mother and the other is the Emperor. Even the little maid knows who the real head of the family is.

The top and bottom seats of the main seat were directly occupied by Huangfu Qingxia Chichi, which was equivalent to occupying the positions to the left and right of Zhao Changhe in advance, and others could only sit on them before taking the seat.

What’s even more interesting is that Xia Chichi didn’t wear a dragon robe, but a casual white robe. Huangfu Qing was still dressed in red, so the scene happened to be two red and two white, just like a group that had been prepared long ago, and a small cabbage was taken away. The green Baoqin is the most distinctive.

In the late Tang Dynasty, Zhuanyue Hongling's chatting and smiling expression disappeared.

No matter how close you are to the water, you can't be so direct, right? Do you have to separate the big and small and hold our heads down to treat us as small?

Tang Wanzhuang stared directly at Huangfu Qing. Forget it Xia Chichi, she is still His Majesty after all. You, Huangfuqing, are not really His Majesty’s mother. You have been a fake concubine since the previous dynasty, and you are still out of breath? Come on, come on, our sixteen-year war is not over yet, do you think Yujing is great?

Yue Hongling stared at Xia Chichi. Forget about Huangfu Qing, we have a friendship to fight side by side, who are you, Xia Chichi? It can be said that Yue Hongling is open-minded and basically does not take jealousy from others. The only thing she feels is the scene when Zhao Changhe stood up in front of Luo Qi and almost fell out with her. The more she got along with Zhao Changhe, the more bitter she became when she thought about it. She couldn't bear it several times. Ask if Luo Qi and I fight now, will you protect her and fall out with me?

Would you like to try it today?

The two people here stared at each other, and the two people there also stopped talking and stared back with half-smiling smiles. Who is afraid of whom? There seemed to be something crackling between their gazes.

Baoqin let go of Zhao Changhe's hand and began to grind his teeth, preparing to start a group for the young lady.

Even before the family banquet started, the atmosphere in the banquet hall was already filled with gloomy clouds. The surrounding maids were so frightened that they shrank and hid far away. Zhao Changhe held his forehead and was speechless.

You know.

There was nothing we could do. Zhao Changhe was scolding Fang Qiu today, and he was certainly not Wu Xia Ahe in the past. He quickly spoke before both parties could speak: "What were you master and disciple talking about just now?"

When he asked, Xia Chichi still gave him face and said: "After discussing the various situations with my mother, for example, the sweet potatoes you mentioned before were indeed found overseas, and now we are looking for pilot plants. And what you wrote in your letter said about finding special crops. There are one or two types of exotic beasts in the palace. We have already sent envoys to bring them to Dali with the imperial seal, which will probably arrive soon. We are also sending people to look for money. The queen mother said that there is silk in Guanlong. Road, in fact, our sea trade is not inferior at all. They are now interfered by Ying Wu, but we are in full swing. If we fight for a long time, we will become more and more advantageous... What are you doing?"

As he was talking, Zhao Changhe had already walked all the way to the table. He first glanced at the last seat, which was facing the main seat and facing away from the door. He originally intended to sit at the last seat to show that the round table did not prioritize, but then gave up. accepted this plan.

The priority of the seats is not the key. For them, who is sitting next to them is the most important thing. What is the priority of the seats? Once he takes the last position, it will be convenient for Wanzhuang Hongling to immediately seize the left and right. This will become a blatant favoritism. Chichi and Huangfu will go crazy, so there is no choice.

So without stopping, Xia Chichi walked up to Chi Chi, picked her up and put her on his lap. Xia Chichi didn’t even finish her words, so the scene became that she was sitting on the man’s lap and reporting to everyone. .

Being held like this, although Xia Chichi was happy that he was openly intimate, her face was a little uncomfortable under the burning eyes of others, and she struggled lightly: "What are you doing..."

"Seeing the confidence that our Majesty takes state affairs at heart makes me happy." Zhao Changhe kissed the side of her face: "Thank you for your hard work."

Xia Chi Chi quickly glanced at the people who were watching blankly, still very happy in her heart, and whispered: "What a small thing for me, Tang Qing has helped a lot... It's hard for you to fight in the north and south. Okay. Okay, put me down, what are you talking about?"

Zhao Changhe politely put her aside and took the seat: "Today's family banquet is also a state banquet. Your Majesty will take the seat and preside over it."

He said hello: "Come here with me and sit here with me."

Baoqin, with three streaks of oil on his face, took a few steps forward with a confused look on his face, pointed at his nose: "I am a maid, I don't have a seat."

"Who said our family still cares about this if you don't have a seat?" Zhao Changhe stretched out his hand and pulled her to sit beside him without any explanation.

Baoqin sat there blankly...Does this count as having a table with His Majesty?

But when I turned around and looked at Zhao Changhe’s smiling face, I felt like crying...

Zhao Changhe greeted Tang Wanzhuang and Yue Hongling again: "Sit down wherever you want, why are you standing there?"

At this moment, Xia Chichi was sitting in the main seat in confusion as the emperor. Zhao Changhe and Huangfu Qing were separated on the left and right. He was sitting on Zhao Changhe's right hand with Qin in his arms with a dumb look on his face. Regardless of the feeling of priority or his All the feelings around me were completely faded.

The tense atmosphere before has long since disappeared. Tang Wanzhuang and Yue Hongling were both a little surprised in their hearts, not to mention making trouble at this time. Tang Wanzhuang went to sit next to Baoqin, and Yue Hongling went to Huangfu By Qing's side, a possible big fight between the two teams was eliminated.

Zhao Changhe picked up the wine glass and said with a smile: "Zhao Changhe wanders around the rivers and lakes, and rarely has the opportunity to get together with his family. It is rare that it coincides with the New Year, and even Hong Ling gathers here. I am really happy. I hope that the world will be settled soon, and in the future Reunion every day. Drink and win! ”

Everyone's beautiful eyes turned, looking at him drinking first, everyone had an indescribable feeling in their hearts.

Recalling the little moments of acquaintance is like watching the transformation of a big boy into a man step by step.

――――

PS: Xiaozhang, there will be more at night. In addition, what happened yesterday made me realize the key to the misalignment of the positive and negative brain circuits. I wrote it in the author's statement, not in PS to avoid a big drama, but it is important to take a look.

At the end of what happened yesterday, I realized a problem... I assumed that everyone knew the concept of maidservant, but in the end I discovered that many people really didn't know it, which was a bit surprising. So much so that the single chapter actually didn't hit the point and was deleted.

I added a few sentences to the original text, so let’s talk about it here: Unless you have other ideas, generally speaking, if your master doesn’t want a maid, you will be discriminated against by society, and if you don’t want her, she means selling it or marrying her to someone else. Therefore, if you refuse or even just put it aside, it will have a devastating blow to the person concerned. No matter how nice the reason is, it will be useless and it will only be regarded as an excuse.

The most serious outcome can lead to suicide, no joke. At the very least, it requires a plot of depression and relief to make people sad.

So some brothers may have good intentions, but they may do bad things according to your ideas. At least Baoqin himself will really hate you.

You want her without hesitation, which is what will make her happy. Changhe, on the other hand, does not treat people like maids. He plays the piano with them, goes shopping hand in hand, and serves meals with them. He shows respect and warmth that exceeds expectations.

Smacking, smacking, our morality is for the sake of the client’s smile, or to satisfy our mysophobia in her painful eyes.
