Brother Wanfu

Chapter 90 Hitting a Soft Wall
There was a lot of war among the three armies outside, but out of a certain balance, the Secret Talk Villa held a dinner in the tense atmosphere outside.

Qin Tian still sits at the head behind the bead curtain.

Sitting below were Mr. He and Zhang Shouyuan, Zhu Hanchun, the only son of Zhu Siwei of the Guangsu Army, Jiang Mu, the youngest son of Jiang Shan of the Nancheng Army, and Yang Tao, Jiang Mu's cousin.

That Jiang Mu is still young, not yet at the age of tying his hair, unlike Zhu Hanchun, who has already reached the crown, married a wife, and has children under his knees. It is common for Jiang Shan to worry about his youngest son coming alone, but his cousin Yang Tao, He was also here during a secret meeting, so it can be seen that he is someone Jiang can trust.

Qin Tian is not a character who is good at dancing with long sleeves, so he kept quiet in the bead curtain except for a few simple words that should be said.

Zhang Shouyuan is a person who is familiar with the three parties, and he said a few words for Qin Tian at the right time.

Nan Chengjun's Jiang Mu didn't seem to be good at words, but his cousin Yang Tao said a few words for him, but he didn't say much.

In the world, only Zhu Hanchun of the Guangsu Army was born as a scholar, and his speech was not vague, and he could even chat with Mr. He about some intellectual matters.

Whether he is good or his father Zhu Siwei, although he is the leader of the rebel army, he likes the literati style, and he is dressed like a literati. He is wearing a loose brocade robe, holding a folding fan in his hand, following him His words sometimes open and sometimes close.

Perhaps it was because he was a literati, and his etiquette was very thoughtful. He made a toast to the princess three times, but Jiang Mu only made a toast once under Yang Tao's reminder.

Sitting inside the bead curtain, Qin Tian saw all these in his eyes.

The dinner was relatively smooth, but Qin Tian didn't notice that sticky gaze reappeared this time.

Just when she couldn't help wondering whether the owner with sticky eyes was not at the dinner party, the bead curtain was slightly moved by the wind.

Between the flicks, the sticky eyes reappeared!
Qin Tian couldn't help but looked out, but failed to track down the owner with sticky eyes, only saw the people outside the bead curtain.

Who will Jiang Mu, Yang Tao, and Zhu Hanchun be?

She became more and more quiet, looked to the side quietly, and met Wei You's eyes.

There were no untimely disturbances at the dinner party until it was getting late, Qin Tian put down his chopsticks to end the dinner party, and everyone stood up to salute, thanking the princess for the banquet.

Zhu Hanchun, who is the most sociable and courteous, suddenly said something at this time.

"This time I brought a tea lady here who specializes in tea ceremony, and I also have some good tea from below. It's still early, everyone, please follow me to have some tea."

Drinking tea after a banquet is also a common thing. In the customs of this dynasty, there are many cases where guests invite their hosts to drink tea.

Everyone knew that he was a literati, and they didn't want to say anything rude at this time, so they all thanked him.

When Zhu Hanchun heard this, he narrowed his eyes with a smile, and thanked everyone from left to right, but then bowed and stepped forward.

His movements were neither fast nor slow, and he didn't intend to collide. He stopped a step outside the bead curtain.

"I don't know if your highness can condescend to drink tea with us tonight? I can prepare a special pot of good tea for the princess."

Zhu Hanchun's words, after everyone had accepted his invitation, made it difficult for Qin Tian to refuse.

If she refuses, it will inevitably appear that the princess is unkind, but if she refuses, Qin Tian does not want to have too many interactions with people other than Su Zhengjun.

Wei You tightened his grip and glanced at the princess.

He thought that if the princess was inconvenient to speak, he would signal Mr. He to decline for the princess, or he would simply refuse.

But the princess didn't refuse immediately, nor did she respond immediately. Instead, she asked Zhu Hanchun kindly.

"You have specially prepared good tea?"

It was rare for her to open her mouth to chat with outsiders, and Zhu Hanchun immediately responded with a smile, "Your Highness, how can you not offer the most precious tea? The tea lady is the best at this tea, and she will definitely not disappoint Your Highness."

Zhu Hanchun had a strong smile on his face. In his opinion, it was a certainty to invite this noble princess this time.

The princess also laughed, but unexpectedly smiled and sighed.

"It's a pity, I'm tired today, otherwise I will have a drink."

After saying this, the wonderful shadow inside the bead curtain moved lightly, gradually shaking, and Zhu Hanchun heard the voice of the princess who seemed to be approaching and yet seemed to be far away.

"Go, gentlemen, and live up to tonight."

When the voice fell to the ground, the person had already left.

Zhu Hanchun was taken aback for a moment.

The princess didn't agree, but she didn't mean to refuse. It even seemed like she really wanted to go, but unfortunately she couldn't.

When she left, everyone got up and saluted to see her off.

Wei You followed Qin Tian all the way away, also a little dazed, looking at the princess's back from behind, he didn't dare to speak up as usual for a while, until Qin Tian stopped in his courtyard, turned and asked him .

"Is there anything wrong with what I said?"

There is nothing wrong with it, the rejection is just right.

"Princess's words are very appropriate." Wei You couldn't help saying.

Qin Tian heaved a sigh of relief, and looked up at the night sky. The dark night sky was covered with heavy clouds, and the wind was even somewhat damp.

After going back to the room from time to time, Qin Tian felt at ease without having to socialize. He drank half a cup of tea and read two pages of the book, when he heard a rushing sound.

She pushed open the window, and it was raining at night outside. The rain was heavy and fast, and the little maid passing by in the courtyard had no time to dodge, and her face was wet.

Qin Tian looked at the rain screen, and after a while, Wei You came to her door.

"Princess, those who went to drink tea in Zhu Hanchun courtyard tonight were all left at Zhu's place by the rain."

The rain turned slightly weaker, from rushing to drizzling, but there was no intention of stopping. It can be seen that those who were blocked by the rain at Zhu Hanchun's place would not be easy to leave for a while.

Qin Tian and Wei You couldn't help but looked at each other.

Just at this time, Wei You's men brought Juanzi over, and Juanzi saluted Qin Tian when he saw him.

"Your Highness, the women have found them!"

Qin Tian's heart was lifted, and Wei You sent all the irrelevant people away.

Juanzi said in a low voice.

"The two people who dragged me back then were the guards of the Guangsu Army!"

When these words fell to the ground, Qin Tian and Wei You were not surprised at all. They both had the same feeling at the same time——

as predicted.

*
It was raining at night for more than half an hour before it ended, but the people Zhu Hanchun invited were all men, so it didn't matter if it was earlier or later, only Mr. He was getting old and worried about adding troops to the army. Hurrying, I was quite tired. As soon as the rain stopped here, Daoist Zhang sent Mr. He back to his dorm.

Zhu Hanchun thoughtfully invited everyone to drink tea, and sent everyone outside the door one by one before turning back to his yard.

The original harmonious atmosphere in the courtyard disappeared at some point, the surroundings were so quiet that a needle could be heard falling, and none of the servants dared to step forward, only one person who often waited by Zhu Hanchun's side stepped forward cautiously.

In his hand was an exquisite chicken-wing wooden tray covered with golden silk. When the silk was uncovered, there were seven or eight wooden plaques inside, each with a name engraved on it. At a glance, they were all women. The name.

"Who will the master ask to serve today?"

Zhu Hanchun glanced at the sign and waved his hand.

The waiter knew that he was not going well today, so he was not interested in the person on the sign, but it was not like a few days ago, especially when he just learned from the emperor in the palace, when he turned over cards every day, he was always full of interest.

Zhu Hanchun turned around, walked to the window, and took out a finger-sized slender porcelain bottle from the desk drawer by the window.

He shook the bottle lightly, and there was a sound of spun powder in the bottle.

"Unfortunately, it's useless." He clicked his tongue twice, looked out of the window, and the last few drops of rainwater dripped from under the eaves.

"What's the use of a timely rain if there are no people left behind?"

While speaking, the entire courtyard seemed to be silenced, there was no sound, even the sound of rain stopped.

The waiter was about to take the tray down, but he didn't dare to move at this moment, and only said softly when Zhu Hanchun looked over.

"There will be someone you want."

Zhu Hanchun laughed.

"Too."

The servant secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to leave, when he suddenly remembered that the last time in this secret chat villa, the master fell in love with a cook, and wanted to satisfy his greed, but failed.

He couldn't help asking, "Do you want me to find a substitute for you? For example, Su Zhengjun's cook?"

Zhu Hanchun snorted when he heard it.

"That can't be done. The last time was the last time. It was just for fun. This time, it's an important thing my father gave me, so nothing can go wrong."

The servant thought that he had endured so much today, but he didn't want to say another word.

"It's fine for outsiders, just call that tea lady to my room tonight."

That tea lady is a woman with a family!

But the servants did not dare to question it, so they could only follow through.

*
Qin Tian didn't know what happened in Guangsu Jun Zhu's courtyard, she only knew that she was not going to step out of her courtyard in the next few days.

There is only a thousand days to be a thief, not a thousand days to guard against a thief, especially at this juncture of the war, with this group of people who have just reached a delicate balance.

But she made up her mind like this, and someone came to her door unexpectedly.

Chang Zi was at the concierge, and he came to report to Qin Tian.

"The leader of the Guangsu Army, Young Master Zhu, personally brought some snacks to meet the princess."

Wei You snorted coldly when he heard it.

"I don't know what kind of dessert it is."

What they don't know the most is what the Guangsu Jun Zhu's father and son are up to.

He thought of Qin Tian's calm refusal before, and looked over.

In this regard, the princess is much more skilled than her own young master. If she were a young master, she would probably not be able to beat around the bush and refuse directly, but the princess is different. The princess has a thin face and was easy to be coerced by others in the past, but now she is gradually different from before. , she began to be able to speak consummately and do things well.

Wei You looked at the princess, and he obeyed her orders.

"Take the dim sum, and then go get the newly made dim sum on our stove, and give Zhu Hanchun a mention, but tell him that I am unwell and need to recuperate, and I have not seen anyone recently."

Chang Zi replied, "Yes."

*
As expected, Chang Zi is the servant who has worked beside Qin Tian for the longest time, and he understands his master's heart the most.

Immediately, he took Zhu Hanchun's snacks quickly, and invited people to the side hall to serve tea.

Just when Zhu Hanchun thought he would see the princess today, Chang Zi appeared in time and brought up the snacks the princess ordered, speaking very nicely and authentically.

"His Royal Highness has been traveling for days, and he is exhausted. He may not be able to see people in the near future. The princess told the young leader to take a good rest."

Zhu Hanchun touched a soft wall again, and his face changed several times when he went out.

"Could it be possible that what my father told me is going to be dirty?"

He couldn't help looking towards Xuzhou City, which was fighting in the distance.

The majestic city wall of Xuzhou City, a battleground for military strategists, seemed to be right in front of him. Zhu Hanchun squinted his eyes, looked back from a distance, and passed the princess's door.

He snorted and said in a very low voice.

"This princess who doesn't know the truth is really interesting."

　Today I have [-], and I will fight for it tomorrow.
