My wife is weirder than the last

Chapter 199 Chapter 350-352 Vigor represents hope
In the post station, Yu Gan and Zhu Chen were relatively speechless, and in the end Zhu Chen clasped his fists together and said with a smile, "I'm sorry to trouble Director Yu."

"It should be, the prince is polite." Yu Gan clasped his fists and said.

Zhu Chen nodded with a smile, and didn't say anything more, he went out to help the people who came with him organize the housework himself.

Those people who came with Zhu Chen didn't realize anything was wrong, they just silently asked their master to help sort out these trivial matters.

Naturally, Yu Gan wouldn't go up to help, it was his family's business.

He took off the saber at his waist, hugged it in front of his chest, and then looked solemn, he was pretending to be cool.

Do not speak, pose, pretend to be a master.

At this time, imitating Shi Ding's behavior is very reasonable and efficient, and no one will think that there is anything wrong with this kind of master's behavior.

Just like that, Yu Gan held the knife in his arms, and watched Zhu Chen and the others busy there with a straight posture.

Now he actually has very good reasons to suspect that this Zhu Chen has no good intentions, and if something goes wrong, there must be a demon.But after thinking about it, I should not be able to leave any name for this majestic Nanyang Wang Shizi now.

How could it be possible for Zhu Chen to notice a director of Dali Temple who hadn't fully grown up yet? From this perspective, Yu Gan still believed in the reason given by the prince just now.

It's just the first time I saw him today, but this son feels very unusual to me, especially his words and deeds, which have a sense of separation from the times.

No matter how humble and gentle other young people with Zhu Chen's status are, it is impossible for them to behave so naturally, and they can still feel the pride brought by that status to a certain extent.

But Zhu Chen didn't have the slightest bit of warmth coming out of his bones.

This Nanyang King's education is incredible.With such a son, at least there must be no big problem with being conservative.

Thinking about it, Yu Gan turned his attention to the dozen or so people who accompanied Zhu Chen.

However, none of the literati mentioned by Jingwang Liqin seemed to be there. They must have not arrived yet, and they were probably still following the guard of honor behind them.

These people basically have cultivation bases, five or six of them are martial arts, and their strength is very good, they are all masters of the sixth and seventh ranks.

Taking a closer look, Yu Gan can be sure that these five or six people should be from the Nanyang Army with a high probability.

Because the temperament of soldiers is actually very similar from ancient times to the present, and their behavior and behavior can be clearly distinguished from ordinary people.

The experience of this kind of observation is still accumulated very abundantly.In his previous life, because of the particularity of his early career, he had a lot of dealings with soldiers from many countries.

Of course, the majestic Prince of Nanyang came to Tai'an, so there must be more than experts of this level for such a sensitive matter, and it is estimated that there are powerful guards for this prince in secret.

The rest of the people couldn't see much for a while, the average age was not old, and most of them were the ones who kept silent.

Soon, Zhu Chen and these followers cleaned up the housework.They don't carry much with them.

On the other side, the palace has temporarily prepared some simple meals and brought them over. Although it is not a meal, it is still a little bit of a cleansing.

When Zhu Chen's people arrive tonight, there will naturally be more appropriate arrangements.

There were three tables with meals, two tables for those attendants, and a small table for Zhu Chen alone.

Yu Gan wanted to stroll out to chat with the servant of the palace and have something to eat, but Zhu Chen stopped him.

"Director Yu, if you don't mind, would you like to come over and have a drink with me?"

"How dare I share the table with the crown prince." Yu Gan clasped his fists and shook his head, "Don't disturb the crown prince's meal."

Zhu Chen continued, "Director Yu, don't be polite. I like to make friends. It's normal for me to eat at the same table. Please don't think too much about it, Director Yu."

"Then it's overstepping the rules." Yu Gan didn't refuse any more, stepped forward and sat down opposite Zhu Chen.

Looking at this smiling, dark and ordinary face, Yu Gan still felt a little emotional in his heart. It is true that he does not have a dignified appearance at all, and it is all supported by his temperament.

"This Taian's wine is not as strong as Nanyang's, and it's warm and moist." Zhu Chen lifted the wine pot and poured Yu Gan a glass on his own initiative.

"Xie Shizi." Yu Gan took the sake, "I have heard about Nanyang's spirits for a long time, so I will find a chance to have a drink in the future."

"That's naturally very good." Zhu Chen raised his glass and tapped Yu Qian lightly, then drank it down, and then said, "Director Yu, it's fate that we met today.

I am a person who doesn't like to be too polite with friends.Director Yu doesn't need to be so formal, in fact, I am not much different from Director Yu.

They are all young people, so there are so many rules. "

Yu Gan smiled lightly, "So, just obey the son."

After that, the two of them drank one cup at a time, and this Zhu Chen always maintained a gentle demeanor, asking carefully about the local conditions and customs in Tai'an.

Yu Gan explained, and the other party listened very seriously, and asked some questions from time to time, as if he really had a strong thirst for knowledge.

After drinking for three rounds, the meal is temporarily finished.Looking at the gradually darkening sky outside, Zhu Chen bowed his hands to Yu Gan and said with a smile.

"Thank you Director Yu for chatting with me for so long, and also thank Director Yu for his explanation, which gave me a clear understanding of Tai'an City again."

Yu Gan also bowed and said, "Your Majesty, you are being polite, this is what I should do."

"It's getting late, I'm sorry for wasting so much Director Yu's time." Zhu Chen bowed again, "There is still a lot of time later, and I still have to disturb Director Yu to take me to enjoy the scenery of Tai'an."

"I'm so happy." Yu Gan stood up with a smile on his face, "My son is exhausted, so I won't disturb your rest, I'll go up first."

"Okay." Zhu Chen stood up.

Yu Gan clasped his fists, stopped talking, and went directly upstairs.Just now, the palace has packed a room upstairs for Yu Gan and came out.

After all, this place is a little far away from Yu Gan's residence, so I let Yu Gan live here first to prevent the prince from wanting to go shopping on a whim at night.

All the way upstairs, came to the third floor, walked through the long corridor, and came to a room at the end by the window.

Seeing the elegantly decorated room, Yu Gan was very satisfied. He took the saber from his waist and threw it on the table, then went to the window and opened it to look out.

The setting sun is very beautiful, especially when the mundane paintings below come into view, Yu Gan squints and blows the evening wind.

Enjoy this moment of tranquility.

At this time, Yu Gan saw a long procession of guards of honor walking towards the post station not far away.

Judging by the specifications and the dress style of the team, it is estimated that it is the guard of honor from Nanyang.

No matter how peaceful and low-key Zhu Chen himself was, he still had to have the ostentation that he should have, otherwise he would be criticized for his etiquette.

This guard of honor is obviously the highest travel etiquette that a prince should have, and it is not too much for Zhu Chen to celebrate his father's birthday.Aside from the guard of honor, there is also a long line dedicated to delivering congratulatory gifts.

At a glance, there are all exquisite boxes, which are estimated to be of high value.

Yu Gan curiously followed the guard of honor all the way into the station.

Inside the station.

After eating, Zhu Chen was stretching in the yard, doing stretching movements, and occasionally chatting with the servants who came and went, without any airs.

When he saw the noisy guard of honor coming in, Zhu Chen stopped and greeted him personally.

Ordinary servants would naturally be accompanied by people from the inn, and two of the leaders walked directly towards Zhu Chen.

One was Wu Xiu, wearing a single jacket unique to Nanyang, with his chest open and a machete around his waist.A middle-aged man with an extremely tall figure and awe-inspiring aura.

The martial artist's name is Zheng Hua, a person from Nanyang, with a fourth-rank cultivation, he can be regarded as half of Zhu Chen's master, and his strength is extremely strong. This time accompanying him can be regarded as protecting Zhu Chen.

"General Zheng, the food and drink are all ready in the room, you must be hungry too, go in and fill up first." Zhu Chen said to this Wuxiu surnamed Zheng with a smile on his face.

"Very good, I'm so hungry, can I have some wine?" Zheng Hua asked with a bright voice, full of air.

"Yes, Tai'an's wine is a bit milder, but it's enough." Zhu Chen smiled.

Zheng Hua pouted, "I'm not picky." Then, with a body like a hill, he went into the house to drink and eat.

Only then did Zhu Chen have time to look at another middle-aged man.

Wearing simple sackcloth, her hair is tied with a wooden hairpin.He is thin and has a long beard.The face is clear and strange, and there is a unique charm.

It looks like a down-and-out scholar in his attire, but the pure literati temperament brewed on his body makes people dare not underestimate him in the slightest.

He looked like the kind of literati with a lot of ink in his belly.

Everyone in the world knows that the king of Nanyang has two literati who he relies on the most, who are the advisers who make great plans for Nanyang, seek development, and formulate strategies.

One Zhang Ziliang, one Du Ruhan.One is the left arm and the other is the right arm.

Zhang Ziliang was the literati who came to Tai'an City to bring the blood witch to commit crimes on behalf of the King of Nanyang. Yu Gan had found out about him before, relying on Tai'an City's aunt's information to help.

This person is good at strategy, he is the chief strategist of the Nanyang Army, he handles all military and political affairs, and is highly relied on by the King of Nanyang.Every time we march, we eat at the same table and sleep in the same bed.

At that time, the reason why Nanyang was able to annex the two surrounding states with lightning speed was said to be due to Zhang Ziliang's advice.His status is so high that his reputation in the Nanyang army is second only to the Nanyang king.

To defeat the Nanyang Army, first defeat Zhang Ziliang.This sentence can almost be said to have become the consensus of all the vassal kings in the southern border.

As for Du Ruhan's reputation is not as great as Zhang Ziliang's, but it should not be underestimated at all.

All the internal affairs of Nanyang are handled by this literati alone, and his heart is full of strategies for governing the country. The reason why Nanyang can flourish is definitely due to this first capable minister.

At the same time, this Du Ruhan was also known as the number one talented scholar in Nanyang, and his knowledge is not enough to describe this person's knowledge.Unfathomable.

Zhu Chen has been taught by this Du Ruhan himself since he was a child, and he taught him by ear.

Yu Gan upstairs looked thoughtfully at the two main leaders of Wen and Wu, the people who followed Zhu Chen this time seemed to be very unusual.

"Teacher, are you tired? The food is ready." Zhu Chen directly took Du Ruhan's wrist and walked inside.

With a smile on his face, Du Ruhan followed Zhu Chen into the independent side room on the right.

The room is not big, and there are many oil lamps lit, which illuminate the hall very brightly.The small square table in the middle has already set up wine and food.

Even though Zhu Chen had already eaten just now, he still sat down with his teacher and ate together. For Wu Xiu, who already has a strong digestion ability, eating more is not a big problem.

Zhu Chen took a jug and poured a glass to Du Ruhan.

Du Ruhan took the wine glass, took a sip, and said with a smile, "It is said that the wine in the north is strong, but drinking it now is not as good as ours. But the taste is full-bodied, and the taste is more delicate than ours. Good wine."

"There are countless fine wines in Tai'an City. It can be said that all the fine wines in the world can be found. After that, I will take the teacher to taste everywhere. After all, it is rare to have a chance to come to Tai'an." Zhu Chen said with a smile, and then He added another cup to Du Ruhan.

"Teacher, it's really hard work all the way."

"It's indeed a bit far away." Du Ruhan nodded lightly, "But it's worth it, I've never been to Tai'an before, and they say that Tai'an City is the largest city in the world, and I've always wanted to come and see it.

When he just entered the city, he was overwhelmed by the thickness of Tai'an City, and even more so after entering the city.

I have never seen such a bustling city. I am ashamed to say that I only now know that there is a sky beyond this sky.Previously, he lived in a small corner, but over time, he became a short-sighted person. "

Zhu Chen shook his head and said, "If the teacher is short-sighted, there will be no long-sighted people in the world."

Du Ruhan smiled lightly, and did not argue, but asked, "Your Majesty came earlier, what do you think of this Tai'an City's first impression?"

Zhu Chen poured himself a glass of wine and said, "I'll tell you the truth, I just think it's big. When I was at the gate of Nancheng just now, I only had one thought.

How can there be such a magnificent city wall that cannot be seen in the world.The imposing manner of the coming big city really shocked me.I can't come out for a long time.

Thinking, if I am in Nanyang, when will I have such a big city. "

"After entering the city." Du Ruhan continued to ask.

"Prosperity." Zhu Chen said with emotion, "I have never seen such a prosperous city, with the flow of people and goods, it is spectacular."

"How do you think the people here compare to our Nanyang people?"

Zhu Chen smiled lightly, "To be honest, our people in Nanyang are more energetic."

"Vigor means hope." Du Ruhan drank another glass of wine in his hand and said, "Having hope means that Nanyang will always have its own Tai'an City."

"Hope." Zhu Chen nodded, a smile flooded Pu Chou's face.

"Speaking of which, I encountered a strange thing when I entered the city just now." Du Ruhan ate some vegetables, and then said slowly, "I met a lot of scholars on the way."

"They seemed to be simply waiting for the Nanyang guard of honor there, but what they pointed out aroused my curiosity. I asked General Zheng to listen for me, and then relayed the story to me."

Speaking of this, Du Ruhan let out a dumb laugh, and then continued, "I don't know where there are rumors that the people who brought us from Nanyang to the literary world want to compete with Tai'an City.

Many literati in Tai'an City are eager to try. "

"There is such a thing?" Zhu Chen was a little stunned, and then he also laughed dumbfounded, "Yes, teacher, you have come, so it must be the case now. How could there be such rumors?"

"But I don't know." Du Ruhan shook his head, and then raised his voice, "Since ancient times, there has been no level of prose, and the winners and losers are always open and shut. With this time, it is better to read two more books of sages.

In addition, the main reason is that the timing is too delicate now, and the Mid-Autumn Festival will be in a few days. With the prosperity of the literary world in Tai'an, I am afraid that this festival will not be easy. "

"Then how does the teacher plan to deal with this matter?" Zhu Chen smelled apologetically.

"Just ignore it." Du Ruhan shook his head.

"What if they force each other?" Zhu Chen asked again.

"Then just admit defeat." Du Ruhan smiled lightly, "Nanyang is a barbarian land in the eyes of Tai'an literati, and the people on the ground are barbarian people. If you lose, you lose, it doesn't hurt."

"Alright." Zhu Chen also smiled slightly.

"I shouldn't have come to Tai'an City." Du Ruhan smiled softly.

Zhu Chen said, "Come to Tai'an is the teacher's long-cherished wish. It's rare to have such an opportunity now. It's always good to come and have a look. Let's learn more good things and go back. It's not in vain."

"It makes sense." Du Ruhan laughed heartily.

The two pragmatic teachers and students directly reached a tacit understanding.

"I heard another interesting thing on the road just now." After the laughter, Du Ruhan said again, "I heard a good word that many scholars are talking about. An Neng is a powerful person."

Zhu Chen was startled, and then clicked his tongue in amazement, "This sentence directly expresses two types of people. It directly splits most people into two groups.

Many people are afraid to be ashamed to hear this word.It's a good word to break your eyebrows and bend your waist. "

"That's right." Du Ruhan sighed with emotion, "I heard they said that this sentence was posted at the private banquet held by King Jing.

Coincidentally, the literati banquet held by His Royal Highness King Jing was discussing how to deal with people from Nanyang. "

"There is such a coincidence." Zhu Chen said in surprise.

"I heard that the person who left the words had a conflict with those scholars. He left after leaving this word." Du Ruhan smiled lightly.

"This sentence has damaged all those literati." Zhu Chen laughed, "Teacher, do you know who the person who left this sentence is?"

"It's a young man." Du Ruhan replied, "He's the son-in-law of the Eldest Princess Wen'an, and he's from Dali Temple. His name is Yu Gan."

"Yu Gan? Director Yu?" Zhu Chen was stunned for a moment and asked.

"The Dali Temple should be the Director Yu." Du Ruhan replied, "Your Majesty also recognizes this person?"

"It's really a coincidence, I just met." Zhu Chen shook his head and smiled, with a shocked expression on his face, "He's upstairs right now."

Zhu Chen explained a little bit what happened just now.

Hearing that Zhu Chen mentioned that Dali Temple was coming to pick him up, but he still asked Gu Qingyuan and Yu Gan to pick him up, Du Ruhan narrowed his eyes slightly.

"There is one thing, the son may not be very clear. When the son traveled to Youzhou before, the prince did something in Tai'an, the blood witch."

"I'm a bit impressed by this." Zhu Chen asked, "I heard what the teacher said, is it related to this?"

"Yes." Du Ruhan nodded, "The person in charge of Dali Temple who was in charge of the case at that time was the three who went to pick up the son today, and Yu Gan was also one of the persons in charge."

Zhu Chen's expression slowly became solemn, "They said they came here by order. Your Majesty, what do you mean this time?"

Du Ruhan looked up and looked around, and finally just shook his head and smiled, "If you come, you'll be safe, it's not important."

Zhu Chen nodded, and then apologized, "I'm sorry teacher, I didn't think carefully."

"It's okay." Du Ruhan smiled, "You said just now, that little friend Yu Gan is upstairs, right?"

"Yes."

Du Ruhan said with some itch, "I'll go up and meet you. Someone who can write such words and sentences must have a strong character and great talent. It's a pity if I don't know him."

Scholars pay attention to those who are masters as teachers. This Du Ruhan is obviously a real scholar, and he doesn't care about these worldly shackles at all.

Zhu Chen nodded, and then sighed, "I really didn't expect Director Yu to be such an elegant and learned man."

Du Ruhan paused for a moment, but he was not in a hurry to leave, he just asked, "Did your son have a lot of contact with that Director Yu just now?"

Zhu Chen nodded, "I learned a lot about the customs of Tai'an City from him."

"Did you notice anything special?" Du Ruhan asked again.

People always have a preconceived impression, especially when they like to label others.After Yu Gan was given the title of a man of character and knowledge.

Zhu Chen recalled the details of getting along just now, and directly did a lot of self-imagining.

Finally, he said, "I didn't think so just now, but now that I think about it, I really think that Director Yu is unusual. He doesn't look younger than me at all.

Behavior and conversation have unique insights, neither humble nor overbearing, detached from the world.

Speaking of it, it was really as he said, and he didn't frown at all to deal with me, a powerful man. "

Zhu Chen said the last sentence in a joking way.Then he said with more emotion, "Actually, what surprised me was his strength.

He is still in the Pill Sea Realm now, and he has entered the Pill Sea Realm at such an age. He can only be described as extremely talented.If it weren't for this, I wouldn't have rashly asked him to stay.

I really want to learn something about cultivation from him. "

After listening to the other party's evaluation, Du Ruhan stroked his long beard and sighed, "Tai'an's background is really extraordinary, such young men with both civil and military skills can be said to be almost rare in Nanyang.

Here in Tai'an, he's just a director. "

"It's true, I feel inferior." Zhu Chen said seriously.

"Your Excellency doesn't need to make such comparisons." Du Ruhan shook his head and smiled, "Your Excellency follows the road of family and country, which is different."

The most capable minister in Nanyang said this with a smile, and then got up, "I'll trouble you, sir, to lead the way. I'll go see Director Yu."

Zhu Chen nodded, stood up and led the way.

Yu Gan was knocking melon seeds in front of the window, and looking at the night scene below, he felt a little helpless now.

The reason is simple, the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming, and the importance of this traditional festival to Daqi is self-evident.The key is not the importance, but the meaning of reunion.

Who should I accompany when the city is full of excitement?
This made Yu Gan very distressed. Needless to say, Li Nianxiang was there. After all, he was a son-in-law, so he definitely wanted to spend the night there.

Afterwards, there was my aunt, Yu Xiaowan, who really had trouble arranging the time.

Fortunately, Ye Chanyi is not in Tai'an City now, she almost forgot about Sister Liu, and she doesn't know if her family has recovered.

It's tiring to think about it, this kind of sexual trouble, don't worry about it.

While Yu Gan was thinking wildly, there was a knock on the door, and the door was unlocked, so Yu Gan yelled to come in.

Zhu Chen and Du Ruhan who were outside came in hand in hand, Yu Gan turned his head and took a look, he couldn't help but be a little surprised when he saw this dark prince coming in with a thin middle-aged literati.

Soon, he came to his senses, put down the melon seeds in his hand, then stepped forward and clasped his fists, "Your Majesty has something to do."

"It's okay, my teacher wants to see you." Zhu Chenweiwei shook her head, then looked at Du Ruhan.

Yu Gan also looked over at this handsome-looking literati, and said softly, "What's the matter, sir?"

"It's presumptuous to disturb you late at night." Du Ruhan first apologized, and then said, "I've heard about Director Yu's name for a long time, so I came here to pay a visit."

Yu Gan was puzzled, but he still said first, "Sir, please sit down."

Saying that, Yu Gan stepped aside and pointed at the table.Zhu Chen and Du Ruhan were not polite, and stepped forward to take their seats.

As soon as he sat down, Du Ruhan smiled at Yu Gan first, "My surname is Du, so I'm so disturbed by my rash visit."

"Mr. Du, you're being polite." Yu Gan shook his head with a smile, and then asked tentatively, "Mr., is Master Du Ruhan Du?"

"it's me."

Yu Gan showed surprise, and hurriedly bowed and said, "It turns out that it is Mr. Du, who has admired his name for a long time, so he was rude below."

Although Yu Gan is not very familiar with Nanyang, but the name Du Ruhan can be described as thunderous.I still have a deep impression on this first minister of Nanyang.

"When I just entered the city, I heard some young friends' poems, so I came here to visit and want to discuss with you." Du Ruhan said frankly.

Yu Gan was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect the other party to have such a simple and unpretentious purpose, just now he murmured that these two people were not kind.

"Mr. is absurdly praised. The mere two poems should not be like this. I am ashamed." Yu Gan shook his head and said, "Compared to Mr.'s, my meager talents are like stars compared to the bright moon."

"Director Yu is humbled." Du Ruhan said slowly
So, the next process is very simple.This Du Ruhan, like most literati, first exchanged ideas with Yu Gan about business affairs, and then talked about romance.

Finally, it is to put forward some opinions, and then ask what do you think?
and so on,

Yu Gan is now familiar with these processes, and he has too much experience in this area.

Therefore, the conversation with this Mr. Du was considered harmonious, and in essence, there was no in-depth negotiation.

Floating on the surface, flowing in a shallow sense, and stopping between measures.

After all, at a deep level, there are too many constraints in the two camps, and many topics cannot be discussed at all.Especially when it comes to the topics of people's livelihood, military and politics, it is even more untouchable.

The old fritters are left behind.

When the moonlight climbed a little bit, Du Ruhan and Zhu Chen took their leave.

Looking at the backs of the two leaving, Yu Gan was thoughtful, but he didn't take this matter too seriously.It's just people from two worlds, so there is no need to communicate too much.

He folded his body and went back to practice cross-legged on the bed.

"What do you think of this person?" On the way downstairs, Du Ruhan asked Zhu Chen softly.

"From the point of view of speech, he is very smooth and sophisticated, and his language skills are not inferior to officials who have been in politics for many years." Zhu Chen replied after thinking, "From this point of view, he does not have the grace to write that kind of poetry at all, so I feel strange."

Du Ruhan smiled lightly, "Your Majesty's judgment is accurate. From the perspective of conversation, he is indeed sophisticated, sophisticated, and lacking in vigor. It's really not like someone who can say such a thing.

But the son doesn't think it's strange that a young man is so calm. "

"Tai'an is really interesting." Zhu Chen glanced back and said with a smile.

"Since the son has left him behind, we can have a good exchange these days, the stones from other mountains can be used to make jade." Du Ruhan said.

"understood."

(Originally, the scenes in today’s chapter were to be deleted, but thinking about the role positioning of these people in Nanyang, they are still quite important, and they are considered to be the kind of important supporting roles that advance the plot. Therefore, the characters must start to fill them up slowly, so I will write more point, so that the subsequent plot will not be abrupt.)
