Tongshu with Mei

Xie Lianfang turned around and gave A Hua and A Xi a wink, ordering them to guard the entrance of the room, where a thick curtain was half-hidden, so that the conversation could be heard without being too eye-catching.Under the leadership of the servant girl, he bypassed the carved partition, stepped forward a few steps, and respectfully saluted Cen Jin.

Lord Cen Jin Cen is a 60-year-old man of medium stature.But because he has been pampered for many years, he looks like he is only 50 or [-] years old, but he does have a sick look on his face.He lazily laid out on a wide bed of rosewood arhats, with a velvet blanket with flowers from the Western Regions on his body.Behind the Luohan bed is a large screen, embroidered with peacocks spreading its tail, which is resplendent in gold and emerald green.In the middle of the Arhat bed is a small table with half a game of broken chess and two cups of fragrant tea.A few servant girls waited on the bed.

When Cen Jin saw Xie Lianfang, he waved his hand to make the servant girl back away, and said with a smile, "Lian'er, you haven't seen me for a long time, do you think I'm getting old? Or is there another new love that captivated your heart?"

Xie Lianfang said with a smile: "My lord's great kindness to Lian'er will be unforgettable for the rest of my life, so why is there any new love?" While talking, she leaned closer and asked, "How is your lord's body?"

Cen Jin said: "It's okay. But there are a lot of complicated things, most of them come to the door to fight the autumn wind, and I can't afford to dismiss them. If no one comes to harass, it must be cleaner." Xie Lianfang hurriedly squeezed to his side, stretched out her hand to massage him Shoulder, smiled and said: "The family is big and the business is big, so it is naturally more complicated. Now that the princess has grown up, I am in Tongchuan, and I have heard that the princess has properly managed the inside and outside of King Cen's mansion, so I am relieved. But I still remember the prince all the time."

Cen Jin smiled and said: "Everyone is full of sweet words, I don't know if they are thinking about my money or my things, but they will never think about me."

Xie Lianfang hurriedly said: "The lord was joking, Lian Er can't afford it. Lian Er really misses the lord in her heart. Without the lord, how could Lian Er be where I am today?"

Cen Jin looked at him sideways, and said with a smile, "It sounds like it's true." He stretched out his hand and slowly rubbed Xie Lianfang's chin twice, Xie Lianfang glanced at the maidservants in the distance, and said coyly: "My lord... Cen Jin withdrew his hands, leaned on the cushion behind him and let out a long breath.

Seeing his tired face, Xie Lianfang thought it would be very tiring to receive guests these few days, but the opportunity was rare, so she refused to quit so easily, otherwise Yang Ye, that white-eyed wolf, would not know how to deal with him, so he rambled about He told Cen Jin some anecdotes, wanting to arouse his interest.

His words were gentle and fluent, and Cen Jin smiled and praised after listening to him: "It's really interesting to listen to you nagging me. Sigh, I'm really old, and I have wronged you these two years."

Xie Lianfang said: "Your Highness is not old at all, this is only your [-]th birthday. Lian'er is waiting for your [-]th and [-]th birthdays, and then I will congratulate you on your birthday!"

Cen Jin smiled and said, "Don't go so far, did you bring me anything good this time?"

Xie Lianfang said: "Bring all the people who know the melody and are good at singing and dancing in my Hibiscus Pavilion, and then I will perform a song and dance for the lord. By the way, lord, I also brought two other people this time. They have long admired the lord. Daming, I always wanted to see the prince in person, and I also prepared a congratulatory gift for him. So Lian Er... boldly waited for them to come."

Cen Jin raised his head, his eyes flicked across his face, his smile was slightly teasing, and he said slowly: "Oh? But the bodyguards you brought? One is called Ahua, the other is called Axi, standing now Those two outside the door?"

Xie Lianfang was stunned, and said in a low voice: "Ah, my lord? You...you can't hide anything from you. Then, my lord...see you?"

Cen Jin said with a smile: "If anyone wants to enter Prince Cen's mansion, how can this old life of this king be kept until now? But Lian Er always has to give some points. Now that you are here, how can you not see it? It just so happens Someone wants to see them, call them here."

Yang Xi and Yang Ye looked at each other behind the curtain, Yang Xi pulled Yang Ye, came out from behind the curtain, walked to Cen Jin's arhat bed, knelt down and bowed, saying: "The younger generation, the fourth son of the late emperor Yang Xi, this is the only son of the Sixth Uncle, Huainan Marquis Yang Ye, who met Prince Cen." After saying that, he kowtowed three times.Yang Ye imitated the example and saluted meticulously.

Cen Jin squirmed on Luo Han's bed, as if he wanted to get up to help him, but finally he had more energy than he wanted, and said, "I am ashamed to accept the great gift from His Royal Highness King Zhao, please get up quickly. I am old and confused Yes. The prince has a noble status and came from a long way, but he is treated so poorly. I really feel sorry for him. Lian'er, support His Royal Highness King Zhao for me."

Xie Lianfang came over to make a gesture to help, Yang Xi and Yang Ye took advantage of the momentum to get up, a servant girl came over, invited them to sit down on the chair on the left, and served tea.

Cen Jin sized Yang Xi and Yang Ye up for a moment, and they always had a respectful expression, allowing him to sized them up casually.Cen Jin said indifferently: "His Royal Highness Zhao came down to look for the old man, not once or twice, but the last two times was that General Beichen came over. It's not easy to do this three times. Today you and I have to See, it’s fate. If you have anything to say, just say it.”

Embarrassment appeared on Yang Xi's face, he got up and bowed again.Yang Ye hurriedly got up and heard Yang Xi say: "Since this is the case, this junior will no longer hide from senior. The junior has been leading troops to guard Feng Yuguan, but for some reason, he was rejected by the emperor and was forced to raise troops. This is fair. But the younger generation is indeed lacking in talent and morality, and is now in a precarious situation with internal and external difficulties, leading a large army, so I would like to ask Lord Cen for help."

Cen Jin pondered for a moment, and said, "Sit down first."

Yang Xi and Yang Ye sat down as promised, and Cen Jin said slowly: "Since King Zhao came down and opened his mouth, this matter may not be out of question. It's just that Jin Yaren of Sika originally caused trouble near Sanguan, and now However, he followed His Highness to this pass, and committed many evils along the way. From time to time, local officials came to the old man to cry and complain, and the old man was very troubled. At this time, he was raised because of you, so I have to trouble His Royal Highness Zhao to send him out."

That Jin Yaren was originally attracted by Yang Xi intentionally, in order to arouse Cen Jin's disgust, and now it really has achieved results.Yang Xi was overjoyed in his heart, and said: "This junior will do his part, but this junior is indeed short of food and grass, and urgently needs the prince's help."

Cen Jin waved his hand, reached out to pick up a jade tablet under the pillow, and asked Xie Lianfang to pass it to Yang Xi: "I will give you 20 days of food and grass first, and at noon the next day, let your soldiers and horses go to the Great Summer Camp at Fifty Miles East of Tongchuan." , the jade token is the token, just hand it over to the food officer at that time. You have to drive him away in these 20 days, and discuss the matter later.” He implied that if you can’t drive him away, don’t come to Chang’an again up.

Yang Xi could hear it naturally, and hurriedly said: "It's very good, but the junior wants to wait for the birthday of the senior before leaving Chang'an, is that okay?"

Cen Jin smiled and said: "You hurry up and get on with your business, and all these red tape and customs will be avoided. As for congratulatory gifts, we don't even need them. My family Wen Jiang said that your congratulatory gifts are better kept as military pay." Picking up a cup of tea on the small table and taking a sip, Yang Xi saw that he had the intention of seeing off the guests, so he hurriedly said: "This junior will leave now, the prince will rest earlier."

Xie Lianfang stayed, so Yang Xi and Yang Ye, the bodyguards, couldn't do it any longer, so they followed the guards out of Prince Cen's mansion, and turned back to the inn where they stayed.

Yang Ye waited for the guards to take their leave and left, and said in a low voice: "Brother, someone has been watching us behind the big screen with the peacock on the screen of Prince Cen. The peacock's eyes are two small holes."

Yang Xin hummed, led him around two street corners in silence, and said slowly: "There is an endgame on the table in front of him, and he has two cups of tea. He wanted to play chess with that person in the middle, but we interrupted him. According to Thanks to the boss’s tone, I guess it’s Ren Guan. I remember his disciple Jing Huaiyu stared up and down when he saw me for the first time. But I don’t know what’s so interesting about me.”

Yang Ye laughed and said, "Perhaps he has seen the image of an emperor."

Yang Xi stretched out his hand and flicked him on the forehead: "Hit you, you crazy kid. Today, he changed his face, what can he see? I asked the boss to send him a letter two days ago, and I want to invite him Speak nicely for me in front of Prince Cen. But some things are worse than speaking clearly in person, and it would be great if we could meet each other. "

Yang Ye suddenly became curious: "Brother, what did you tell him? Will he agree?"

Yang Xi said in a low voice: "I'll ask him, sir, is he willing to disturb the world and conspire against you? In the future, you will be treated as a national teacher. The world's mountains and forests are all for you to run around." He sighed, and continued: "Yes If you don't agree, it's just a matter of luck. The Xijia people are tough. With our current strength, it will be very difficult to drive Jin Yaren away in these 20 days. At this critical moment, let Yun Qi and General Yuan use their cavalry. Yun Qi has fought with Xijia many times, so he should be somewhat sure. Let Wei Linxian send a message to go back later."

Yang Ye nodded, and after thinking for a moment, he suddenly smiled and said: "Brother, I will borrow ten beauties from Boss Xie and send them to the golden son-in-law in the name of Prince Cen. You can hurry up to them in the next few days Sika's Yunzhong City spread the news, saying that the golden son-in-law had accepted the beauty given by Lord Cen, and that he was reluctant to think about leaving in this pass. He planned to support himself and refused to go back to Sika. Let's look at Sika's big Princess, how do you react?"

Yang Xi yelled, looked at him in surprise, and said for a long time: "You crooked way, but it might work, let's do both and give it a try."

The two guessed well, when the two brothers left, the person behind the screen came out and said with a smile: "Congratulations, congratulations to the lord, this time I was beaten again."

Cen Jin smiled and said: "Mr. Ren, don't make fun of me. What's the use of having a lot of money? It's just that people from all walks of life came to beat the autumn wind together. I don't even have a son. With just two girls like this, it's inevitable that they will be killed by others." Thinking about it, hey!" A long sigh contained endless regret and bewilderment.

That man was Ren Guan, a doctor of the Yu Department in this dynasty, and he was born with a handsome and elegant appearance.He has been away from the court for a long time, but Yang Tao still reserved an official position for him.His disciple, Jing Huai Yuxian, has elegant clothes and clean clothes, but his clothes are messy and untidy. He just sat down opposite Cen Jin casually and said with a smile: "Is Prince Cen still lamenting that he has no descendants? Miss The second girl is also the blood of the prince's close relatives, it's just a worldly opinion, and she will have to follow her husband's family name in the future. If someone doesn't care about morals and etiquette in this world, and is willing to take the prince's grandson as the prince's surname, wouldn't the prince have a descendant? "

Cen Jin's heart skipped a beat for a moment, and after a while he raised his eyes to look at Ren Guan, and said, "This... this old man really didn't expect this. But even so..." He suddenly stopped talking, thinking that he wanted to bring a son-in-law back, But I don't know if this hereditary title can be preserved?It's a pity that the eldest daughter has not listened to the advice and has chosen her own sweetheart. Although the youngest son of the Chu family is useless in every way, he is filial to himself.The youngest daughter is still young, and she is reluctant to marry off for the time being, so she can only discuss it later.

Ren Guan watched his words and expressions, then flicked his tattered sleeves, and asked inadvertently, "How did your lord look at His Royal Highness Zhao Wang just now?"

Cen Jin said: "My king's eyes are clumsy, and I don't know people clearly. How do you see, sir?"

Ren Guan said: "I have seen him since he was a child. He has a strange fate, and he is facing the Seven Killing Stars. The Huainan Marquis Yang Ye next to him is dealing with the Greedy Wolf Star. To deal with another Pojun star. There are many people in the world with the fate of Qisha, Pojun, and Greedy Wolf, but it is rare for the three of them to come from such backgrounds and have their own talents. Therefore, according to the three Judging from fate and the current situation of the world, it has become the trend of killing wolves."

The so-called killing wolf, and the lone star of Tiansha are called the two great fatalities. Cen Jin heard about it, and he was terrified. He sat up straight and said, "I hope Mr. Wen will explain it in detail. This king wants to hear something exciting."

Ren Guan said: "There is nothing mysterious about this. The seven killing stars are the thieves who disturb the world, the army breaking stars are the generals who rule the world, the wolf greedy stars are treacherous and treacherous people. To kill those who break the wolf's horoscope, take the initiative to turmoil and change." , the so-called victory in motion, survival in motion, ups and downs in life, great sorrow and joy, wandering, turbulent. If three stars gather together, when the three sides and four sides of the palace of life will meet, it will be the time when the world changes hands. This situation There is no turning back."
