There is a kind of scholar

Chapter 1009: As a senior brother, I am so qualified!
A quarter of an hour later.

Su Xian walked out of the imperial study.

The Queen was very busy, and there was a mountain of memorials waiting for approval on the Dragon Case, so Su Xian did not bother her too much and settled the matter quickly.

First of all, it is the result of the trip to Haizhou.

When the Queen learned that the ships in the shipyard would be able to sail out to sea in a few months, she was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth.

Yang Fan's merchant ships that went out to sea transported porcelain, silk and other items, and what they brought back were gold and silver worth several times the value!

This is a big deal, and for the queen who is short of money, there is always a feeling of "pie falling from the sky".

Then, there are the reasons for the diversion to Nanchen and the result of the trip to Nanchen.

Su Xian didn't say much about this, except that Emperor Chen's condition was getting worse and he was not going to die soon. Nan Chen would probably have a new emperor ascend the throne soon.

The Queen didn't ask much, but just sighed a little. After all, Emperor Chen was the emperor of a country. Emperor Chen's death from illness would inevitably make the Queen feel "sorrowful for the death of a rabbit and a fox".

Finally, Su Xian changed the subject and tried to find out the Queen's true intention regarding "Lanling's recruitment of a son-in-law".

In this regard, the Queen has only two words.

The first sentence is: "Young lady is a woman after all, and women will get married after all. I can't delay her life events just because I like her."

The second sentence: "I hope that Su Aiqing can choose an excellent husband for my young mother. I have confidence in you."

After hearing these two sentences, Su Xian understood in his heart that the Queen's mind was determined and could not be changed.

After making some assurances to the Queen, Su Xian resigned and left... He was ready to immediately implement the "delay strategy" discussed with Lan Ling, or the delaying method.

Procrastination does not mean being too late. If you are too late to act, it will be unpopular.

The clever way to procrastinate is to act immediately to block other people's tongues, and then in the process of action, there are ups and downs and problems one after another...

Su Xian thought about it and decided to start "recruiting a son-in-law" for Lan Ling tomorrow.

It's too early today, just in time to make some preparations and deal with some personal "grievances".

Back at the Hou Mansion, Su Xian first comforted Tang Shuwan, Liu Huixiang and other girls, and then visited Li Qingniu and the ladies with gifts. It was almost dusk, and Su Xian was ready to go out.

Unexpectedly, his father-in-law Tang Ju and his sister-in-law Tang Shujing came after hearing the news.

Su Xian delayed going out and received his father-in-law and sister-in-law in person.

Through chatting, Su Xian finally understood——

It turned out that Tang Ju's news was told to him by Tang Shuwan. Tang Ju knew that the matter was important and did not dare to talk about it. He only sent a letter to Su Xian and asked him to return as soon as possible.

As for Tang Shujing, she didn't know about "Lanling's recruitment of a son-in-law". She just noticed that her sister was in a bad mood. After repeated questioning, her sister was hesitant. She had no choice but to write a letter to Su Xian, calling Su Xian returned quickly.

……

After taking care of his father-in-law and sister-in-law, Su Xian took Yang Zhilan out and left.

They came to an inn in the city.

Zhou Wei lives here temporarily.

Su Xian returned to Beijing this time and hid all his whereabouts. His plan was to sneak into the Hou Mansion secretly and ask Tang Shuwan to find out the situation first, so only Yang Zhilan followed him.

What about Zhou Wei?

Zhou Wei first found an inn to stay temporarily and did not show up in front of others. He waited for Su Xian to find out the problem clearly and then pick him up according to the situation.

Enter the inn.

Su Xian and Yang Zhilan went upstairs, stopped in front of a guest room door, and knocked on the door.

"who?"

Zhou Wei's voice came from inside, but it didn't sound like it, because he was holding his neck with his hands, and the sound he made was like a different person.

Su Xian smiled and said, "Junior brother, stop pretending and open the door quickly."

"Brother, you finally came to pick me up!" Zhou Wei's voice returned to normal, and with a "squeak", the door opened.

As soon as Su Xian and Yang Zhilan entered the house, Zhou Wei hurriedly closed the door, then looked at Su Xian with expectation and pity, shook his head and sighed:
"Senior brother, I know you are in pain. If senior brother wants to cry, I can lend you my shoulder."

With that said, Zhou Wei leaned forward and forcibly put his shoulder in front of Su Xian's eyes.

Su Xian was stunned for a moment, took a step back, and asked with a smile: "What are you doing? I didn't even keep you in jail for long. Why are people so crazy?"

"Hey!" Zhou Wei looked at Su Xian, shook his head and sighed again, trying hard to pretend "I've been hurt too", patted Su Xian's shoulder gently, and advised:
"Senior brother, there is nothing to hide between us senior brothers. I am afraid that when senior brother returns home this time... he will be scolded badly by his sisters-in-law, I understand."

Su Xian was stunned, and then he couldn't laugh or cry. He slapped away Zhou Wei's hand that patted his shoulder, and said silently: "Junior brother, have you drunk too much again?"

"Drink too much? No." Zhou Wei shook his head.

"If you didn't drink too much, then why..."

As soon as Su Xian said this, he paused, because a flash of lightning suddenly flashed across his heart, and the depths of his eyes also lit up.

Right!

Since Zhou Wei thought he had been scolded miserably by Tang Shuwan and other women, why not take advantage of his plan?How about resolving this personal "grievance"?

That's right, Su Xian's purpose here is to deal with Zhou Wei!

Who told this guy to threaten him when he was in Gaoyou territory...

At first, Su Xian's idea was very pure. He only needed to tell Yang Zhilan to beat Zhou Wei.

But now... Since Zhou Wei believes so firmly in his Gaoyoushi guess, he will use his plan to deal with this guy!
Thinking of this, Su Xian immediately changed his mind: "...Junior brother, could it be that you are the reincarnation of Zhuge? You have guessed all this! Junior brother is really awesome!"

Zhou Wei was immediately overjoyed and without any doubt, he patted Su Xian on the shoulder with two powerful hands and said sincerely:
"That's right, senior brother, don't be afraid, I will vouch for you, and the custodians will be satisfied!"

On the side, Yang Zhilan's eyebrows moved slightly.

She has been following Su Xian to understand what the real situation is.

Su Xian's move...well, she wasn't stupid either, she vaguely guessed what Su Xian was thinking.

"Junior brother, don't you want to go to a brothel? Okay, senior brother, I will take you there tonight!"

Su Xian looked "grateful" and said to Zhou Wei: "As for Master and Dashan, junior brother, you don't have to worry at all, I will make arrangements for you."

As soon as Zhou Wei heard that he could go to the brothel tonight, he was so happy that he couldn't find the north. He rubbed his hands crazily: "Brother, I want to go to... Pinyu Pavilion!"

"No problem, then Pinyu Pavilion, but junior brother, I can say the ugly words first, if you are discovered by master, other old people or Dashan, you can't blame me." Su Xian laughed.

"Senior brother, please don't worry, if something happens, I will take care of it alone, and it won't affect senior brother." Zhou Wei's blood was already surging, and he couldn't control so much.

"Okay, without further ado, let's leave now!" Su Xian pulled him and turned around to leave.

"Senior brother, wait a minute." Zhou Wei paused on the spot, seeming a little embarrassed: "Senior brother, I haven't vouched for you yet, otherwise... let's go see the sisters-in-law first."

Su Xian was slightly surprised.

Zhou Wei could still think of this when his blood was boiling... It was really commendable.

To be honest, Su Xian was quite touched.

For this reason, he is going to...continue to deal with this guy Zhou Wei!

However, for the sake of Zhou Wei being like Chicheng, Su Xian also slightly adjusted the plan——

If according to the original plan, as soon as Zhou Wei stepped into the brothel, Li Qingniu would come to "catch the adulterer".Now, Su Xian decided to postpone the "catch the adulterer" until tomorrow morning.

Let Zhou Wei enjoy the gentle land for a whole night.

After the plan was decided, Su Xian couldn't help feeling in his heart:
"Hey, I am really qualified as a senior brother! In order for my junior brother to enjoy a night of gentleness, I will tell the master tomorrow against my conscience..."

"..."

Soon, Su Xian and Zhou Wei set off.

Yang Zhilan drove straight to the Pinyuge "Flagship Store" in Beili.

In the car, it was estimated that they were almost there. Zhou Wei was looking forward to and excited, but he became obviously nervous. He pulled Su Xian's sleeve and said, "Brother, do you think...will you meet an acquaintance? If you are discovered by an acquaintance... "

As soon as Su Xian heard the word "acquaintance", the faces of Tang Shuwan, Liu Huixiang, Princess Lanling, Chen Keyan, Zhang Meiniang and other women appeared in front of his eyes.

Last time in Youzhou, because he went to a brothel, he... Although Tang Shuwan, Liu Huixiang and other women didn't say much afterward, Su Xian could clearly detect their mood.

If Tang Shuwan and the others knew about this trip to Pinyu Pavilion... Su Xian couldn't help but rub his face, turned to look at Zhou Wei and comforted:
"Junior brother, don't make wild guesses. There are no such coincidences in the world."

At this time, the carriage had stopped.

There was a buzz of people outside the car, and colorful lights came in through the gaps in the side curtains of the car.

Without looking further, Su Xian knew they had arrived at their destination——

Beili is the only and largest entertainment area in Shendu City. The streets and alleys here are either brothels or restaurants. People come and go, and the later the night, the more lively it becomes.

Su Xian coughed, stood up, and while arranging his clothes, he smiled at Zhou Wei and said, "Junior brother, you look like a bear, what are you afraid of? We are at the place, get ready to get off."

"Oh."

Zhou Wei's tense mood relaxed a lot when he saw Su Xian was so calm.

However, just when Zhou Wei was about to get up, Yang Zhilan's voice came from outside the car: "Master, I met an acquaintance and he has discovered me."

"What did you say? An acquaintance?!"

Su Xian's expression suddenly changed, and the faces of Tang Shuwan, Liu Huixiang, Princess Lanling, Chen Keyan, Zhang Meiniang and other women flashed in front of his eyes.

Especially Tang Shuwan, he seemed to see a trace of disappointment in Tang Shuwan's face...

Injustice!
Su Xian was very depressed. He just sent Zhou Wei here, and he didn't want to have fun in a brothel. It was not what they thought...

In a hurry, Su Xian staggered on the spot and fell directly on Zhou Wei.

At this time, Zhou Wei was scared to death, but what appeared in front of his eyes were the faces of his master Li Qingniu and Yan Dashan.

Ignoring Su Xian who fell on top of him, Zhou Wei murmured to himself: "It's over, it's over, I actually met Master or General Yan, it's completely over now..."

Just as Su Xian and Zhou Wei were staggering in the carriage, an excited and familiar voice came from outside the carriage: "Brother Su, is this you, Brother Su?"

and many more!

Su Xian was stunned. This voice was... Lin Chuan!
Could it be that the acquaintance Yang Zhilan mentioned was Lin Chuan?

It must be!
Su Xian suddenly didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He really shocked himself. He quickly stood up and sat down, and whispered to the outside: "Let Brother Lin get in the car."

Soon, the curtain of the carriage was opened, and a person rushed in with a whoosh.

Su Xian took a closer look, who was this guy if he wasn't Lin Chuan?
"Brother Su... Oh, Brother Zhou is here too, hahaha, nice to meet you!"

Lin Chuan was as thin as a hemp pole and his back was slightly hunched. When he saw Su Xian and Zhou Wei, he greeted them warmly and smiled broadly.

Zhou Wei also came to his senses, and said with a dry smile, "So it's Brother Lin, haha, it really gave me a big jump."

"Shocked you? What do you mean?" Lin Chuan looked curious.

"It's nothing." Su Xian glared at Zhou Wei, looked at Lin Chuan and smiled: "Why is Brother Lin here? What a coincidence, hahahaha..."

In a blink of an eye, Lin Chuan forgot to ask about the "frightened" thing, and excitedly held Su Xian's hand: "I just heard someone said that the Taiwei returned to Beijing, and I was about to go and have a drink with Brother Su! "

Su Xian nodded, slowly took his hand out of Lin Chuan's, and asked, "Brother Lin wants to have a drink with me? Then why are you here in Beili?"

"Uh..." Lin Chuan shook his head and said with a smile, "Didn't you see Brother Su now? Hahaha... Brother Su and Brother Zhou are also here for entertainment?"

"That's a good relationship. Our three brothers must not get drunk tonight and sleep with all the girls in Pinyu Pavilion!"

"..."

Hearing the first half of his words, Su Xian felt pretty good, but the second half of the sentence... Su Xian pulled the corner of his mouth fiercely, and hurriedly explained: "I'm only here to escort Zhou Wei, and I'll leave as soon as I arrive."

Zhou Wei was nearby and saw that Su Xian and Lin Chuan were reminiscing about old times. He hesitated many times and finally intervened. He blushed and suggested: "Brother, Brother Lin, it's already late, let's go in first. If you go late..."

After all, he still couldn't let go. He couldn't say the words "all the good girls were picked up by others".

Fortunately, Su Xian and Lin Chuan understood what he meant instantly:
"Okay, I'll send you two in first, and then it's time for me to go back to my house."

"..."

At that moment, the three of them got out of the carriage.

Su Xian took them through the back door and entered Pinyu Pavilion. Then he found the old bustard and told the old bustard: "These two are my brothers. Please treat them well."

The old bustard knew Su Xian's identity very well, so he naturally nodded and agreed.

After finishing the business, Su Xian left Pinyu Pavilion through the back door, returned to the carriage, and asked Yang Zhilan to drive away quickly...

Shortly after.

Imperial City.

Princess Lanling's Mansion.

It is said that after Su Xian left the princess mansion this afternoon, Lan Ling ordered people to prepare fragrant bathing soup.

Although she does not have severe mysophobia, she has always liked to be clean.

The saliva Su Xian left on her body needed to be cleaned thoroughly, and the uneven teeth marks also needed to be ironed out, so as not to leave any traces.

After all this tossing, it was almost dark.

After Lanling bathed and changed her clothes and dressed up again, she went to the flower hall to enjoy dinner. Qiu Dianjun was standing beside her, and there were no other servants except her.

"By the way, what happened to the twenty concubines that the Taiwei brought back from Youzhou last time?" Lan Ling asked while eating.

The Qiudian Army attendant stood nearby and replied: "The Princess Hui, it is said that they are all pretty good. Although they are all women of foreign races, they have been raised in Daliang since they were young, so they are no doubt like Han women."

"They are proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, painting, and poetry. They are all rare oiran-level figures. They also have excellent personalities. Even Tang Shuwan, the mistress of the Hou Mansion, can't find fault with them."

Lan Ling nodded, took a few bites of the food, and then asked: "Do you think it is possible for him to go to a brothel again after he has won so many women?"
