Outside the garrison, there were a group of people standing.

The servant next to the carriage was unloading the box from the carriage, so busy that he couldn't leave the house. The guests were sitting and drinking tea at the place where the garage entered the door.

As soon as Xiao Jue entered the door, he saw the scene of Liang Ping pouring tea for people.

"Second Master Chu." Lin Shuanghe was greeted first. He waved his fan and smiled familiarly as if the host was entertaining guests, "I wonder if the tea is still suitable for the taste?"

Chu Zilan stood up and bowed to Lin Shuanghe and Xiao Jue: "Governor Xiao, Master Lin." He smiled and said: "The cloud mist tea in Liangzhou Wei is mellow and bright, with fragrance on his teeth and cheeks. The Governor is very happy."

Xiao Jue pulled a chair casually, sat down and stared at him and said, "It's just a rough tea, don't be polite."

Chu Zhao was not annoyed, and just smiled and said, "The Governor was kidding."

The fourth young master in Shi Jin Bo’s mansion is the same age as Xiao Jue this year. Compared to Xiao Jue’s often indifferent and lazy expression, he looks much gentler. He is also very good at giving birth, with bright facial features, fair skin, and a wide jade robe, making him look thinner and thin like a fairy. His eyes are narrow and long, and he always smiles. He is really a gentleman, gentle as jade.

The two of them were in the same place, one was as cold as autumn water, and the other was as bright as orchids. It looked very pleasing to the eye.

Next to Chu Zhao, there was a girl who looked like a maid. Although she was wearing the maid's clothes, she was particularly beautiful, with deep and bright facial features. Even in simple clothes, she could not hide her bright light. A person like Lin Shuanghe, who was used to seeing the beauty, couldn't help but look at the appearance of this woman. She sighed in her heart that the master and servant stood together, and she didn't look like a person in the world. Among the four sons of Shi Jinbo, the first three were ordinary in appearance. Only this one looked like this. It seemed that the appearance of her mother was really important.

"What happened to the Fourth Prince Chu come to Liangzhou Guard?" Xiao Jue said.

Chu Zhao laughed and said, "Your Majesty heard that Governor Xiao had wiped out tens of thousands of enemy troops in Liangzhou Guard and eliminated all the remnants of the Qiang tribe. Long Yan was very happy and asked me to send me a reward, and he would also take a look at the morale of the Liangzhou Guard."

"Give me a reward?" Xiao Jue looked at him playfully and said casually: "The bitter and cold land of Liangzhou can make the Fourth Master Chu come to see it with a noble destiny," he smiled slightly, "It's not simple."

Chu Zhao said: "It was Zilan's luck to be able to see the heroic soldiers led by Governor Xiao with his own eyes."

Xiao Jue laughed and said nothing.

"This time, your Majesty also ordered me to hold a banquet here to celebrate the merits." Chu Zhao said: "But I don't know how the Liangzhou Guardians celebrate the merits all day long. Therefore, I can only trouble the Governor."

"The new recruits who died in battle have just been buried," Xiao Jue said: "It is probably not appropriate to celebrate the achievements now."

Chu Zhao smiled softly, but his tone was very persistent, "How can you not shed blood during the war? Besides, annihilation of the enemy is a happy event, and you have to reward it if you deserve it. This is what Your Majesty meant."

Is this the introduction of Emperor Wenxuan?

Xiao Jue stared at him for a while, nodded for a while, and smiled: "Okay." He stood up and said meaningfully: "The celebration banquet will be held tomorrow, so please invite Mr. Chu to join us."

Chu Zhao stood up and returned the favor: "It is better to obey orders than respect."

Xiao Jue left the house and ordered Fei Nu to say, "Arrang a room for Mr. Chu's Fourth."

Feinu took the order and left.

Lin Shuanghe followed him, approached him, and asked in a low voice: "Why did Chu Zhao do? Look, is he going to live in Liangzhou Guard for a while?"

"There is no one, Xu Jingfu is anxious," Xiao Jue said indifferently: "Send his dog to come and see, what's the problem?"

Lin Shuanghe looked back at the room and saw Chu Zhao lowering his head to drink tea in the room. He asked, "Would it be a bit unsafe to let him stay here? This kid is Xu Jingfu's person after all."

"Isn't safe?" Xiao Jue said: "It depends on his ability. Let's go."

“Where to go?”

"It's both a reward, and you should see what it is." Xiao Jue said playfully, "It's unreasonable to come to Liangzhou Guard with such a big fanfare. It's just a few boxes of rewards."

"You want to pluck your hair again?"

Xiao Jue glanced at him.

Lin Shuanghe said, "It's nothing else. Just ask, don't be angry. Let's take a walk and see the baby!"

...

He Yan returned from the martial arts venue and returned to the situation of doing nothing. He lay on the bed and read a few travel notes. He waited for Song Taotao to bring food to him. After dinner, when Song Taotao left, he heard something outside the door, as if Song Taotao was talking to someone. He thought it was Xiao Jue who had come back, so he got out of bed with a stick and opened the door. He saw Lin Shuanghe at first glance.

"Doctor Lin?" He Yan looked around and asked without seeing Xiao Jue's shadow, "Is the governor not here?"

"He went to discuss the celebration banquet with the coach." Lin Shuanghe smiled and said, "I'll wait for him in the house first, and I'll talk to him about something."

"Celebration banquet?" He Yan was stunned for a moment, "What kind of celebration banquet?"

"Liangzhou Wei Celebration Banquet." Lin Shuanghe waved his hand to Song Taotao. After seeing Song Taotao leave, he walked towards He Yan. When he reached the door, he suddenly stopped again and refused to move forward.

He Yan inexplicably: "What's wrong?"

Lin Shuanghe retracted his hand and said seriously: "It is not good for men and women to live in the same room. If it is reported, it will damage your reputation."

He Yan: "..."

She said: "No one here knows my identity. Doctor Lin can just treat me as an ordinary recruit. Besides, have you been here before?"

Lin Shuanghe waved his hand reservedly: "There were people in the room before, but now you and I are the only ones, which may cause misunderstandings."

"What are the misunderstandings?" He Yan was helpless, "I often live in the same room with the governor, and there is nothing wrong with it."

Upon hearing this, Lin Shuanghe took a step back: "That's even more impossible. Friends' wife cannot be played with. How could I be the villain who betrays my friend?"

He Yan: "..."

What nonsense is this person talking in a mess?

She thought about it and finally came up with a good idea: "This way, Mr. Lin, go to the governor's house, I'm in my own house, I open the middle door, and let's talk through the middle door. In this way, it's not considered living in one room, but in two rooms respectively. Is it feasible?"

Lin Shuanghe didn't expect He Yan to be like this. He was stunned for a moment and slapped his fan: "Just do it like this!"

So when He Yan returned to the room, he used Cheng Lisu's silver wire to pry the lock, and pushed the stool hard at the other end of the middle door. Lin Shuanghe was already waiting there.

He looked at the middle gate and asked He Yan: "You guys do you play like this on weekdays?"

“How to play?”

"That's..." Lin Shuanghe said this, as if he felt embarrassed, and shook his head and smiled: "I didn't expect that Huai Jin would do this too..."

He Yan was confused by his words, but he was still thinking about the celebration banquet he had just mentioned, so he asked: "Doctor Lin, what is the celebration banquet for Liangzhou Wei that you just mentioned?"

"Aren't you the one who defeated Ridamuzi before and annihilated tens of thousands of enemy troops?" Lin Shuanghe said: "When your Majesty heard about this, Long Yan was very happy. He specially brought a reward to reward him. He also held a banquet in Liangzhou Guard to celebrate the commendation to reward the three armies."

He Yan was stunned when he heard this: "Now? It's not good to celebrate the achievements now."

Now, it is not a good time to celebrate the commemoration in Liangzhou. Although this battle was won, dozens of sentries died without knowing it at the beginning. Even if they win, they mostly rely on the support of the Nanfu soldiers. The mood of these new soldiers at this moment is more sad about the death of the comrades and fear of the war than the joy of winning the battle. How could it be better to celebrate the commemoratively at this time?

"What can you do if your Majesty means?" Lin Shuanghe sighed, "How can you not be polite?"

For a moment, neither of them spoke.

A moment later, He Yan asked, "The person who came to pass on His Majesty's will is Chu Zilan you mentioned today, right?" He Yan asked, "Who is Chu Zilan?"

"You haven't heard of Chu Zilan?" Lin Shuanghe was surprised.

He Yan shook his head.

"The dreamer of girls in Beijing is Xiao Rubi, and the second is Xiao Huaijin. Chu Zilan is ranked third." Lin Shuanghe sighed, "But since Xiao Rubi got married, there are only Xiao Huaijin and Chu Zilan. We Huaijin are cold-hearted and do not like to talk to girls. We are not as good as Chu Zilan in recent years. Although Chu Zilan has a lower background, she is beautiful and gentle. She has not yet gotten married. You ask who the husband the woman in the capital is most willing to marry. Most of them are all about Chu Zilan. Why?" He looked at He Yan, "Have you never heard of his name when you were in the capital? It's impossible!"

Of course, He Yan didn't know that she had been leading troops to fight before, so she had no intention of paying attention to the love and beauty of the world, and there was a handsome man in the capital. Later, she returned to Beijing and got married quickly, and she had no way to learn about the foreign man. Chu Zilan had never heard of this.

"I was raised by my father since I was a child. I didn't go out of the door and didn't even talk to the outsider," He Yan said casually, "I really know nothing about these things outside."

"Is that true?" Lin Shuanghe said: "Then your father is really strict in dealing with you."

He Yan nodded: "Yes." She asked: "What is the relationship between Chu Zilan and Governor Xiao?"

Although Xiao Jue is not close to others and has never seen anyone he likes, he has never seen anyone he hates. Xu Jingfu is one of them. He has not seen Chu Zilan today. Xiao Jue was displeased when he heard his name.

Could it be that there was a festival in the past?

"That's a long story." Lin Shuanghe got up and poured himself a cup of tea before going to the small restaurant. He took a sip of tea to moisten his throat before sitting down again and said to He Yan: "You have never heard of Chu Zilan, but you have heard of his father Shi Jin Bo Chu Linfeng."

He Yan felt that the name sounded a little familiar, and thought for a moment, and said, "Is it the one who married the nineteenth concubine and the one who is in various countries?"

“That’s right!”

He Yan remembered the name Chu Linfeng. When he was in the army, the deputy generals gathered together to chat, and they didn't envy the emperor. The one who envied the most was this Shi Jinbo. Shi Jinbo's Yushu Linfeng was a famous handsome man in the Wei Dynasty, but the wife he married was a few years older than him, and she was even more ugly and fierce.

A prodigal son like Chu Linfeng would never give up. Before getting married, he lingers in the flower shop every day, and after getting married, he became even more powerful. The lady he married was virtuous and seemed to know that he was ordinary and could not be favored by his husband, so he never stopped him from taking concubines. Over the years, he actually took concubines with nineteen concubines, all with beautiful appearances, fish and geese, and their own interests.

It’s just that he took a concubine and took a concubine. Over the years, except for the three young masters who crawled out of his wife’s belly, no concubine has ever given birth to the flesh and blood of Shi Jinbo.

I heard that these concubines would be fed the medicine before entering the Chu family. No matter how favored they were, they would have to please their mistresses except to please their masters. Mrs. Shi Jinbo held these concubines tightly, and no one dared to make trouble under her nose. Shi Jinbo still loved her with her concubines every day. Mrs. Shi Jinbo just pretended that she didn't see them and raised her three sons well.

Chu Zilan is Shi Jinbo's fourth son, but she was not born by Mrs. Shi Jinbo.

"Is he the concubine son born to his concubine?" He Yan asked.

"No, no," Lin Shuanghe said: "Mrs. Chu is more strict than your father is in charge of you. How could the concubine give birth to a son?"

“That’s…”

"I don't know what's going on. In short, one day, when the Chu family was having a banquet, there was an extra four-year-old son named Chu Zhao." Lin Shuanghe took another sip of tea, "Although I didn't say it, everyone knows that Chu Zhao is probably the illegitimate son born to Chu Linfeng's outer room."

He Yan widened his eyes.

"Mrs. Chu was very cautious. She didn't expect that Shi Jin Bo would keep such a trick. The child was four years old and everyone recognized him. What else could it do?" Lin Shuanghe spread his hands, "If it were just like this, Chu Zilan was just Chu Linfeng's concubine son, but when Chu Zilan was ten years old, she was recorded in the name of Mrs. Chu. Therefore, his current identity is considered the fourth son born in Shi Jin Bo's mansion. Do you know why?"

“Why?”

"Because he was the most proud student of the prime minister Xu Jingfu of the dynasty."

He Yan was stunned. It was Xu Jingfu again?

"Although Shi Jinbo is wandering, he is not a kind father. I think Chu Zilan's life is not easy under Mrs. Chu. I don't know what method he used to live safely until he was ten years old, and then he took Xu Jingfu. How dare Shi Jinbo ignore Xu Xiang's face? Later, he recorded Chu Zhao in Mrs. Chu's name, which was Xu Jingfu's intention."

"Then this Fourth Young Master Chu is very powerful."
