The Book of Troubled Times

Chapter 764 Man

"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 shoved under my nose. I usually wander around with my cheek in my hand when I have nothing to do. If I don't give you a chance, you damn girl will blame me to death."

Holding the head of the piano, he kept his head low and said nothing.

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 if you say no, you will You may not understand what happened... You might as well find a chance to get along with me first. I know you can't stand it when you hug Qin and scold others, so you have to give me an explanation...be kind to others in the future. She’s my sister, but she really doesn’t look 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'll be happier if I give you a new identity, right?"

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

"What else do you want to do?" Tang Wanzhuang glanced around and whispered softly: "Sometimes I really wish you weren't so good at what you do outside. Every time I receive a message from you, I feel like you are She said to me: It’s time to fulfill it... But I get angry when I see Huangfu, and I feel uncomfortable when I think about it, and she won’t agree to 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 comes to the bridge, it's not good to force it. Just like today, I have said that you really don't need 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 were very interested in making arrangements in the past few days. Why does it feel wrong today? Is it possible that it's not working anymore? 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'm so thankful that we don't have to quarrel now. I really don't dare to visit Shu before I get to Long." . 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.

So today's family dinner is even more important to 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 they arrived at the banquet hall, the first thing they saw was Xia Chichi talking to Huangfuqing. Huangfuqing was sipping a cup of tea and nodding with satisfaction.

I don’t know what they were talking about, but the position they were sitting in was a typical shameless position near the water.

This is a large round table. The seat 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 meant that the positions to the left and right of Zhao Changhe had been occupied 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, with a small cabbage as green as a takeaway. The Baoqin is the most unique.

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

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 make us look like the small ones?

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, at least 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?

Do you want to try it today?

The two on this side stared at each other, and the two on the other side 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 clouds. The surrounding maids were so frightened that they shrank and hid far away. Zhao Changhe held his forehead and was speechless.

Just know.

There was nothing we could do about it. Zhao Changhe today was scolding Fang Qiu, and naturally he was 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 pilots to plant them. And the special exotic beasts you mentioned in your letter, There are already one or two types of alien species in the palace, and they have already sent envoys to take them to Dali with the imperial seal, which will probably arrive soon. In terms of other things, they are sending people to look for money. The queen mother said that there is a Silk Road over there in Guanlong. 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 superior... What are you doing? "

As the conversation progressed, Zhao Changhe had already walked up to the table. He first glanced at the last seat facing the main seat with his back to the door. He originally intended to sit in the last seat to show that there was no order of importance at the round table, but he immediately gave up this plan.

The order of seats was not the key. For them, who sat on his left and right was the most important thing. Who cared about the order of seats? Once he sat in the last seat, it would be convenient for Wanzhuang and Hongling to immediately occupy the left and right. That would be blatant partiality, and Chi Chi and Huangfu would go crazy. He could not choose.

So he went all out and walked to Chi Chi, picked her up and put her on his lap. Before Xia Chi Chi finished speaking, the scene became that she was sitting on the man's lap and reporting to everyone.

Being held like this, Xia Chichi was happy that he was openly intimate, but under the fiery gazes of others, she was a little embarrassed, twisting her face and struggling: "What are you doing..."

"Seeing that our Majesty is confident in state affairs, I am happy in my heart." Zhao Changhe kissed her cheek: "Thank you for your hard work."

Xia Chichi quickly glanced at the people who were watching blankly, and was still very happy in her heart. She whispered: "What's my little thing? Tang Qing helped a lot... You are tired from fighting all over the country. Okay, put me down, what kind of talk."

Zhao Changhe readily put her on the main seat at the side: "Today's family banquet is also a state banquet. Your Majesty, please take a seat and host it."

He said: "Baoqin, come and sit here."

Baoqin, with three oily spots on her face, took a few steps forward in a daze, pointing at her nose: "I am a maid, I don't have a seat."

"Who said you don't have a seat? Does our family care about this?" Zhao Changhe stretched out his hand and pulled her to sit beside him without saying anything.

Baoqin sat there blankly... Does this count as sitting at the same table with His Majesty?

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

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

At this moment, Xia Chichi sat in the main seat as the emperor, Zhao Changhe and Huangfu Qing were on the left and right, and Baoqin sat on Zhao Changhe's right hand side with a blank look on her face. Whether it was the feeling of being in the main position or being by his side, it was all completely faded.

The tense atmosphere before had long disappeared without a trace. Tang Wanzhuang and Yue Hongling were a little surprised in their hearts, and they would not mess around at this time. Tang Wanzhuang sat next to Baoqin, and Yue Hongling sat next to Huangfu Qing. A possible fight between the two teams was eliminated.

Zhao Changhe picked up the wine glass and said with a smile: "Zhao Changhe has been wandering around the world and rarely has the opportunity to gather with his family. It's rare that it's the New Year, and even Hongling is gathered here, I'm really happy. I hope to settle the world soon and reunite every day in the future. Drink to win!"

Everyone's beautiful eyes were rolling, watching him drink first, and everyone had an indescribable feeling in their hearts.

Recalling the little bits of acquaintance, it's like watching a big boy transform into a man step by step.

PS: There will be more in the evening. In addition, I realized the key to the mismatch of the brain circuits of the positive and negative parties in yesterday's incident. I wrote it in the author's words, not in the PS to avoid a lot of drama, but it's very important, so take a look.

I realized a problem at the end of yesterday's incident... I assumed that everyone knew the concept of a maid, but in the end I found that many people didn't know it, which was a bit unexpected. So the single chapter didn't actually get to the point, so it was deleted.

The original text added a few sentences, so I'll also talk about them here: Unless the maid has other ideas, if the master doesn't want her, she will be discriminated against by society, and not wanting her means selling her or marrying her to a servant. So if you refuse, even if you just put it aside, it will be a devastating blow to the person involved, and no matter how good the reason is, it will only be seen as an excuse.

The most serious result will lead to suicide, no kidding. The lightest is to find a plot of depression and enlightenment to find heartbreak.

So some brothers may be kind-hearted, but it may be a bad thing to do it according to your ideas. At least Baoqin herself will really hate you.

You want her without hesitation, which is the result of her happiness. And Changhe doesn't treat people as maids. He accompanies people to play the piano, hold hands and go shopping, and eat at the table, which is beyond the expected respect and warmth.

Smack, smack, our morality, is it for the smile of the person involved, or to satisfy her own cleanliness in her painful eyes.
