Chapter 357
There is a dinner tonight, and the level is definitely not low. In addition, Emperor Chongzhen did not intend to summon him at this time, so he must not want to care about Mr. Hu anymore.
Among colleagues, there is nothing to go around at this time. Xu Changqing also plans to rest in this house for a day and be happy with Li Lanfang.
Although he accidentally ate Xiu'er, Xu Changqing was obviously more interested in Li Lanfang.
It has nothing to do with passion.
Instead, Xu Changqing found the feeling of his later generations, like a friend, and a very good friend, a close friend of his childhood.
"Hey, my surname is Li, what's wrong with you today? Didn't eat in the morning? I'm weak."
However, Xu Changqing soon discovered something wrong with Li Lanfang, like a spiritless little hen, dejected.
"You have to worry, my sister didn't sleep last night."
Li Lanfang felt a little guilty and didn't dare to look at Xu Changqing, but he still refused to show weakness.
Xu Changqing couldn't help but smile: "Why, the surname Li, you didn't come to listen to the bed last night, right? Or, you're jealous of your sister? It doesn't matter, you can come to listen to the bed again tonight, and there's no problem in watching it on the spot!"
"The surname of Xu, killing people is just a slightest. What do you want? I owe you eight hundred times, but now my sister has compensated you. Why do you miss me? You see, I'm really unhappy. Can you kill me? Anyway, it's your thing!"
Li Lanfang suddenly burst out, her eyes wide open, and she locked in Xu Changqing.
Xu Changqing was startled, "My surname is Li, have you taken the wrong medicine? You didn't send your sister to my bed, why would I find your sister? Now I'm just cursing myself after putting the bowl, right? Have I treated your sister badly? Isn't it okay if I let her enter the mansion when I turn back?"
When Li Lanfang heard Xu Changqing's words, he was a little stunned.
She had actually understood that Xu Changqing often deliberately teased her, but Xu Changqing was definitely not a person who was irresponsible. Moreover, Xu Changqing's foundation was far larger than what she and even many people thought!
It is definitely an opportunity that Xiu'er can enter the Xu Mansion in a century!
Even if she can't be rich and powerful in the second half of her life, she will be far better than ordinary people.
As she said, if she could really help Xu Changqing give birth to a son and half a daughter, it would definitely be a lifelong honor that was far superior to her father.
Xu Changqing thought Li Lanfang would refute him, but then he quarreled with him, but suddenly realized that Li Lanfang lowered her head in a little down and turned around and left.
"Submitted to Li..."
Xu Changqing subconsciously wanted to tease her again, but suddenly felt a little unbearable. Li Lanfang's back really made people feel speechless and sad.
"What's the matter with this?"
Xu Changqing was speechless for a moment, shook his head, and no longer paid attention to Li Lanfang.
But just as Xu Changqing was about to rest for a while, his personal soldiers suddenly came to report, "Master General, Uncle Dingbei is here."
When Wang Pu came over at this time, it must have been yesterday's incident and tonight's dinner. Xu Changqing also calmed down and greeted him with a smile.
As Xu Changqing and Li Lanfang left separately, Xiu'er's eyebrows were frowning by the window. If she didn't clean up the follow-up, she would have many dreams!
But at this time, her position was obviously unstable, and Li Lanfang still needed to help her support her. What should I do...
...
As night slowly descended, in a deep mansion near Xuanwu Gate, there were bright lights, and traffic outside the door gradually became bustling.
Carriages came and were soon led to a yard opposite by the servants to rest, while the masters were well-dressed.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Enter this courtyard.
If someone familiar with the ideology of the capital is here, he may be shocked to his chin after just looking at it for a while.
The owners of these carriages are either this man or that waiter, or all kinds of powerful men, each of which is indescribable.
At this time, another carriage drove over.
The servants who were welcomed around were all excited and excited, and they hurriedly fell to their knees.
After a moment, someone carefully opened the car door. A fat man, who was only fifteen or sixteen years old, got off the car with a fuzzy robe.
"Crown Prince."
"Prince, be careful."
The servants all smiled and tried their best to leave an impression in front of this fat man.
Soon, Zhou Kui and Tian Hongyu also received the news and came out in a hurry.
Zhou Kui hurriedly stepped forward to salute, and his old face was already full of joy.
The little fat man in front of him was his greatest reliance and all his sustenance in the future. It was Zhu Ciyang, the eldest son of the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Chongzhen and Empress Zhou!
"Grandpa, what's wrong with me today? Why do you have to ask me to do it? If my mother finds out, she will definitely hit me."
Zhu Cilang spoke in a muffled voice, and his figure was a bit too fat. Although he could not reach the level of exaggeration, his voice was not very nice.
"Hehe, Prince, it won't take up much time for you. Half an hour, at most half an hour. The queen will wait for me to explain later. I have prepared your favorite osmanthus cake for you."
Zhou Kui said while carefully walking in with Zhu Cixuan.
Next to him, Tian Hongyu was only envious.
Although Concubine Tian also gave birth to two sons, Dabao obviously had no hope.
At this time, Zhu Cilang was actually at the age of opening the mansion. When his father, Emperor Chongzhen, had already opened the mansion for a long time, but the child with a mother was different. Queen Zhou was reluctant to leave him, so he still lived in the palace.
Just as the few people were walking inside, dozens of tall war horses came here in a slow and orderly manner.
A servant rushed over and reported: "Crown Prince, Guo, and Zhongyi Bo Xu Changqing have arrived."
"Xu Changqing?"
Zhu Cixuan was so clever that he immediately became interested. He hurriedly looked at Zhou Kui and said, "Grandpa, will Xu Changqing come tonight too?"
Zhou Kui's face was a little complicated, but he quickly recovered and said with a smile: "Crown Prince, you have always wanted to meet our uncle Zhongyi, just so let's go over and meet together."
"Hehe, that's a good relationship."
While talking, the few people came out together.
And here, someone had already notified Xu Changqing and Zhu Cixuan was here.
Even though Xu Changqing is a noble man and has noble blood, no matter how high he is, he is not as tall as the prince. Soon Xu Changqing also noticed Zhu Cilang's figure, quickly turned over and dismounted, knelt on one knee respectfully and said, "My name, Xu Changqing, the general of Shandong Left Association, has seen His Highness the Crown Prince, His Highness Thousand Years!"
Seeing Xu Changqing kneeling down, Zhou Kui's face could not be concealed.
So what if you are Xu Changqing, you are a bull? Now, aren’t you kneeling at my feet?
Zhu Cixuan obviously didn't know that his grandfather was pretending to be a tiger. He was in a ignorant adolescence and admired heroes the most, especially Xu Changqing, whose reputation had already swept the world!
At this time, seeing Xu Changqing having a tall and tall horse, his military robe was tall and majestic, and his whole body was so heroic and handsome, Zhu Cilang hurriedly walked forward with a smile and helped Xu Changqing up in person: "Mr. Xu doesn't need to be polite. I have long heard that Mr. Xu's name has been around for a long time, but unfortunately I was destined to see him for the first time at this time. Tonight
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
, Gu, Gu must have a few more drinks with Xu Shuai.”
Although Zhu Cilang pretended to be mature, his youthfulness could not be concealed at all.
Xu Changqing had a good impression of him. Even because of Li Youwei's affairs, the two were considered rivals in love back then.
"You are praised by Prince. Tonight, Changqing forced her to sacrifice her life to accompany you!"
Seeing Xu Changqing giving her face so much, Zhu Cilang was overjoyed and hurriedly entered the yard with Xu Changqing.
Only Zhou Kui was left, and his face gradually turned dark.
What's the fucking situation? Why is the prince so ignorant?
Tonight's dinner was held in the middle courtyard. After all, the front courtyard was still not enough, and it was easy for outsiders to hear and see.
Xu Changqing, Zhu Cixuan and others walked through several maze-like corridors. After a few minutes, they arrived at the intermediate courtyard.
At this time, there were already many people here, a bit like a Western-style self-service buffet, each holding a wine glass and chatting and laughing in groups of three or five.
Xu Changqing soon discovered many familiar figures, including Wu Sangui, Wang Pu, Wang Tingchen, Tang Tong and others.
Moreover, Xu Changqing also saw his cheap grandson, Xu Shengyuan of the Duke of Wei's Mansion.
Xu Shengyuan actually made Xu Changqing look at him with admiration. He really stayed in Shandong for more than a year. Later, after the Qing army entered, he found a way to transfer back to the Beijing camp.
It is nothing more than people saying, "There are people in the court who are easy to be an official." At this time, he was already a general. Without a single inch of his skills, it was simply like a rocket.
Xu Shengyuan was very clever. When he saw Xu Changqing coming, he hurried over to salute with the help of the prince Zhu Cixuan: "I have met the prince and the little grandpa."
Zhu Cixuan couldn't help but be stunned and looked at Xu Changqing: "Shishou Xu, are you of such a high generation? Brother Shengyuan actually wants to call you grandpa?"
Xu Shengyuan was also a little embarrassed for a while, but after all, he had experience in polishing the grassroots, so he quickly felt relieved and smiled gently.
Xu Changqing smiled: "Crown Prince, our family has been single-handed for generations and has been wandering around the border. It is incomparable to the comfort of the capital."
Zhu Cilang was busy and suddenly realized, "Haha, Shuai Xu, to be honest, we are really not outsiders. Just like when Taizu and Marshal Xu fought side by side, if there is a chance in the future, I must fight side by side with Shuai Xu!"
As soon as he said this, the venue suddenly became quiet.
Even Zhou Kui was a little confused. He never thought that this child who had never grown up had such ambition.
Xu Changqing smiled and nodded: "It is an honor for humble position to be able to fight side by side with the prince!"
The royal education is definitely nothing to say. Zhu Cilang looked stupid, but he had a bit of a wise and foolish sense, and he was a person who was easy to get along with.
However, Xu Changqing could only regret him. In all aspects, he was destined to have that kind of opportunity.
Xu Changqing and Zhu Cixuan came together, and the guest of honor tonight was almost here. Zhou Kui hurriedly led everyone to the living room to watch the performance.
The living room is extremely luxuriously decorated. Many dancers, singers and musicians are preparing carefully. On small tables, many maids are lying on exquisite dishes like assembly lines.
Originally, Zhou Kui must have been sitting in the main seat, but Zhu Cixuan came tonight, so he definitely could not sit in the main seat anymore. But just as he was about to go to the left and greet the guests, he suddenly found that Xu Changqing had gone there unswervingly, and then sat down without hesitation.
For a moment, the originally harmonious and comfortable field suddenly became quiet.
