The perfect brother-in-law reborn

Guan He, the former oiran of Xinyuelou, unexpectedly redeemed himself and left the building, causing several people in the capital to sigh. They thought that Xinyuelou lost its pillar this time, and the business would naturally be much worse, but they did not expect that the boss of Xinyuelou Sure enough, it was a great skill, but he forcibly dug up Mo Yu, the number one celebrity in the south of the Yangtze River.

Different from Guan He's tall and generous, Mo Yu is a typical Jiangnan woman, gentle as water, small and exquisite, which makes people in the capital extra novelty. After three to five months, Guan He has already been slowly forgotten by people, after all It's just a brothel girl. Wouldn't it be a joke if anyone still says that they miss the former oiran famous j?

It was almost noon, but what was surprising was that the girl Moyu who had only been in the capital for a few months and had gained a foothold today did not take a nap like in the past, and was already performing hard on stage.

Mo Yu's singing and dancing talents are naturally excellent.

After leaving the many girls who accompanied and danced, Mo Yu sat there wearing a green skirt and played the piano while singing a cappella. The sound of the piano was a common boudoir song in the south of the Yangtze River. Immunity, some scholars who are extremely sensitive have red eyes, and they really can't wait to go on stage to comfort that Moyu.

Moyu's voice is also extremely beautiful, with the unique soft style of Jiangnan women, soft and waxy, it can really seduce people's hearts, that voice seems to have a magical power, it makes people feel trembling at the tip of their hearts, and it feels like it With Ruoyouru's provocative meaning, looking at Mo Yu's charming little face that may be red from playing the piano, everyone in the audience really wanted to take pity on it. , Such a lovely beauty, such a delicate and seductive voice, if it is heard in the room, it will do that man and woman thing at night...

After singing the last line, the sound of the piano also stopped abruptly. Mo Yu on the stage was out of breath because of too much effort, her pretty face was flushed, her eyes were looking upstairs, and then she shook her head, as if to thank the guests, and then Like saluting someone.

Seeing your oiran panting, the audience laughed ambiguously again, as if recalling some similar scenes.

Mo Yu stood up, although she had a charming little face like a fox, but compared to her petite height, her figure was indeed a bit domineering.

Tongyan**!

This word popped up in the minds of the veteran Fengyue guests in the audience. Just looking at Moyu's movements, those with delicate thoughts secretly turned their heads and looked upstairs. Obviously, there is a reason why Moyu worked so hard today, maybe There is a big man sitting in a certain box upstairs, even if the background is as deep as Xinyue Tower, he does not dare to neglect him, so he sends an oiran to try his best to please him.

A few figures were vaguely visible at the entrance of the box with the best location upstairs, and then a male duck shouted vigorously: "His Royal Highness has a reward!"

The people downstairs were all terrified. Although there were many big figures who came to Xinyue Tower, it seemed that there were not many who were as special as the prince.

...............................................................................................................

Not to mention the muffled discussions downstairs, in the best and largest box upstairs, Prince Li Zhi, who was praised by Emperor Liang as gentle as jade, was drinking with a group of people. There are rookies in the scholar field, royal families who are bound to ascend to high positions in the future like Prince Jing's son Li Liang, and even more promising career rookies like Chu An, the third young master of the Chu family. But at this moment, the only core is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Li Zhi also drank a lot of wine, his pink face was slightly flushed, and he looked even more handsome and elegant. Although his status was high, he didn't have the slightest pretensions of a prince at this moment, and his words and actions made people feel like a spring breeze.

His Royal Highness accompanied the crowd to drink a full glass of wine without pretentiousness, his face turned pale for a while, and he looked a little dizzy, but he still forced a smile and said: "I am really glad that I can sit with you today. , I couldn’t hold it back for a while, I drank too much, please don’t laugh at me.”

After speaking, he couldn't help retching a few times, and his expression was extremely painful.

Many scholars were really worried and moved, and hurriedly persuaded the prince to put down the wine glass, and firmly refused to allow the prince to drink any more. The middle-aged eunuch behind the prince also offered tea to sober up in due course. Li Zhi took a few sips, and his face looked better.

Guo Shenyan is the number one scholar in this subject, and he is naturally the leader of many scholars. He said gratefully: "His Royal Highness does not think we are superficial, and I am really touched by the gift, but if His Highness hurts his body because of this, not only Going against the original intention of this banquet, it makes us feel guilty and uneasy, and I am not a good official, so I suggest that we stop the banquet, how about everyone drinking tea and chatting?"

Seeing that Li Zhi was suffering from drinking, everyone agreed in unison.

Li Zhi shook his head with a smile, frowned and said, "This statement is ridiculous!"

Guo Shenyan was terrified, and hurriedly got up to apologize, everyone was also nervous, not knowing why His Highness the Crown Prince said such words suddenly.

Li Zhi stretched out his hand to hold Guo Shenyan down, and said slowly: "When the banquet started today, this king once said that today is my private banquet for all of you, and it is a private banquet, so don't pay too much attention to etiquette. Mr. Guo is a good friend, and Mr. Guo called you an official just now, isn’t it a disrespect to the king? Isn’t it absurd!”

Guo Shenyan was held down by Li Zhi's arm, unable to get up, but his body trembled with excitement, he finally suppressed his mood, raised his wine glass and said in a trembling voice: "Your Highness's words are very true, my officer... no, the students will punish themselves three times." cup!"

Many scholars also felt that His Highness the Crown Prince was really kind and generous, and his expression was a little moved. If it weren't for the time when there were so many people, they would have fallen to their knees and swore allegiance to the death. But only Chu An and Li Liang smiled at each other, which was meaningful.

Unexpectedly, Li Zhi pressed Guo Shenyan's arm again, and said with a smile to everyone: "Look, Mr. Guo is very scheming, just now he said to change tea, and now he will take this opportunity to drink secretly..."

Everyone froze for a moment, and laughed at the embarrassed Guo Shenyan.

...............................................................................................................

The atmosphere reached a climax for a while, and everyone removed the drinking utensils and replaced them with tea. Since His Royal Highness is so open-minded and friendly, everyone relaxed a lot. They gathered together in twos and threes to discuss, and some even held Sitting on the ground with a teacup, it seems a bit of a mad life from the past.

Outside, Mo Yu's self-singing had just ended, the middle-aged eunuch bowed his head to listen to Li Zhi's words, and walked up to announce the reward loudly.

Although Guo Shenyan was teased several times by Li Zhi, he was still a little proud in his heart. He said that His Royal Highness was showing his closeness. At this time, he naturally wanted to fulfill the duties of a confidant, and he hesitated a few times to show his loyalty. Euphemistically persuaded: "The students think that His Highness has a special status after all, and it's better to keep a low profile in a place like Xinyue Tower."

Li Zhi thought for a while, then nodded and said, "It's because you're thoughtful, and you had a great time drinking with everyone, and you lost your sense for a while, but since you've already said it, you can't take it back, it's really troublesome."

Guo Shenyan frowned and thought about it, there was no good countermeasure for a while, Li Zhi's eyes skipped the crowd, and he seemed to be a bit more sophisticated. At this time, whoever can say a few words may be appreciated by His Royal Highness, and there will be many benefits in the future yes.

However, at this time, everyone is more cautious. It’s okay to say something good, but it’s okay to say something bad. If something bad is said, the loss outweighs the gain and loses points in front of His Highness the Crown Prince.

Li Zhi looked a little disappointed. To be honest, all the people present here are well-known figures in the capital, and they will at least occupy a certain position in the officialdom in the future. At this time, they are all cautious, and they don't even have the courage to speak out. How can they rely on them for help in the future? .

The atmosphere was a bit dull for a while, the more it was like this, the more people dared to interrupt indiscriminately, Guo Shenyan even had sweat on his forehead.

Chu An pursed his lips and stared intently at the green tea in his hand. Although it was good tea, it was extremely strong for sobering up. Li Zhi pretended to look at him again and again, and sighed slightly in his heart, as if he suddenly woke up, and said with a smile: "Your Highness needs to worry, in fact, this matter is not difficult to solve."

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere suddenly became relaxed, and several people couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. At this time, there was finally someone who understood the situation.

Guo Shenyan wiped his sweat lightly, and asked with a smile: "I'm also thinking too much, these are just small details, really damn, but I don't know what brother Chu has in mind."

Chu An smiled at Li Zhi, fixed his eyes on the teacup in his hand again, and said softly: "Although this is a small section, after all, His Highness has a special status, how many pairs of eyes are watching, since it is brought up, it is natural to make things clear." Consummation, at least no bad words can be spread."

Guo Shenyan's expression froze, but he felt a little impatient in his heart. It was just a casual statement of loyalty, but Chu An didn't have the slightest intention to smooth things over for him. It was a bit ignorant, but Chu An's status in the capital was not mentioned. Even in this small circle with Prince Li Zhi as the core that has not yet formally formed, Chu An's status is much higher than his own, but he dare not say anything at this time, so he can only drink tea to cover up his embarrassment.

Chu An glanced at Guo Shenyan, and shook his head secretly. This talent has some talents, but after all, his vision is limited, and he seems to be eager to do things. Maybe he will be useful in the future, but now he seems a little shallow. Thinking of Chu Nan Unhappy with Guo Shenyan, he shook his head and threw away these thoughts, naturally he did not want to admit that his attitude towards Guo Shenyan was influenced by Chu Nan, and said intently: "Speaking of it, it is really nothing for His Highness to go out to meet friends Going out to drink and listen to music with a group of friends can also make His Highness seem close to the people and kind, but there are so many people here after all, it is inevitable that some bad words will be spread out, which may damage His Highness's reputation."

Li Zhi looked at Chu An's eloquent words, nodded slightly, and encouraged Chu An to continue talking with his eyes.

Chu An took a sip of tea, frowned slightly, feeling bitter in his mouth, how could there be any way to smell the tea, he put it aside, and continued: "Your Highness is friendly, we here are aware of it, but people outside don't know. At this time , Your Highness might as well do more, such as come forward and order, and serve some high-quality snacks and fruits to the people outside..."

A person next to him interjected: "Why don't we just settle the accounts outside..."

Chu An sighed softly, shook his head and said, "That's not right, the teahouses outside are very valuable, adding them together is not a small amount. If His Highness comes forward to settle the bill, you guys think, will the common people praise His Highness for their goodwill or lament the Royal Highness's kindness?" rich?"

The man looked embarrassed and stepped aside with a smile.

Li Zhi took a deep look at Chu An, then nodded with a big smile, and turned around to give instructions. After a while, he heard a sound of thanking him from outside, and when Li Zhi walked up to the front to answer the gift, the noise outside became louder.

Satisfied, Li Zhi sat down again, put the topic to rest, looked at Chu An with meaningful eyes, smiled and talked with Chu An, his words seemed to be wooing, but Chu An didn't seem to listen I understand that when I answered, I was very measured, but I didn't mean to take refuge in half.

Guo Shenyan looked at Chu An with envy and disappointment in his heart. He tried his best to show his loyalty, but Chu An got a lot of limelight.

Seeing that Chu An did not intend to cast himself under his account at all, Li Zhi was also a little disappointed, but he was more delighted. Not to mention the Chu family behind Chu An, he said that the thoughtfulness Chu An showed today will be in the household in the future. Department has a lot to do.

Hubu, that's Daliang's purse!

The atmosphere slowly became warmer again, Li Zhi was also in Linglong's mind, seeing Guo Shenyan's expression was a little depressed, he smiled and brought up the matter of serving as an official, but it cheered Guo Shenyan up again.

Everyone here wants to make a career, and being close to Li Zhi is mostly for the sake of a smooth career, but Chu An, who really has some roots, will not easily take refuge in the past. Most of the people here have just started their careers. Guo Shenyan was the smoothest.

The number one scholar in the new department, the registered student of the Great Master of Su University in the current dynasty, now seeing that he is about to be appreciated by the prince again, it seems that he has a great future, of course, it is the same in reality, at least he started as the eighth-rank censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, even if his background is as good as Chu Qing, the fourth son of the Chu family, has to go out honestly and start from the ninth grade after going through the prince's family, not to mention that he is the censor who manages the speech and investigates the place, his position is low but powerful!

Only Chu An and Li Liang remained unchanged, and everyone else couldn't help showing envious expressions, especially Chu Qing, the fourth son of the Chu family who was making friends with a noble son in the corner, and his eyes were clearly jealous or even Jealousy!

It's just a pity, like Chu An from the Chu family, and Zhao Yuan, the beloved son of Zhao Tianlong, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, are a minority after all. They were able to show their talents in front of Emperor Liang at a young age, and they were entrusted with important tasks from the very beginning. Just look at Chu An today, The household department of the eight classics is from the fifth rank, and it is really enviable to go crazy when it goes out.

Guo Shenyan is the number one scholar in the new discipline. He was promoted by a well-recognized Su University scholar. He is highly valued in the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Liang Rang, the imperial envoy of the right capital, praised it in public several times. Unfortunately, the power of leapfrog promotion is mostly in the hands of Emperor Liang. In his hands, no matter how outstanding he is, he still has to work hard for qualifications, but this person's future is recognized as a future.

Li Liang looked hesitant, frowned and thought for a while, then said with a smile: "If you talk about the future, I think you should say the fifth young master of the Chu family, who is only twenty years old? A sixth-rank member of the etiquette department, even the third son of Chu Admire me, father, the old man often uses him to teach me, he wants me to learn more, and he also said that I only need to wait for the matter of the Ministry of Rites, and I am afraid that I will be promoted to another level and a half, I am really envious of others."

Li Liang is the son of Prince Jing, and the only one who can make him bend over here is the prince Li Zhi. Even someone like Chu An is more polite at most, and at this time, he will not care about Guo Shenyan's face, and ignore it. Guo Shenyan had an ugly face, took a sip of tea and continued: "Ha, think about it, that brother Chu is really amazing, even if he made such a big mess in the south of the Yangtze River, His Majesty only lightly exposed it, no, He was promoted to a few levels just after he recovered, and he was still a terrifying sixth-rank Yuanwailang. There was no such precedent even during the wars of the former emperor? Also, it is said that the fifth young master of the Chu family is extremely unfavored in the Chu family, but that But marrying a well-known beauty in the capital, the young lady of the Yang family, that’s not enough. The proud girl Guan He also fell in love with her at first sight, and she willingly rejected a prince and elder to become the concubine of the Chu family..."

Li Zhi also knew the grievances between Chu Nan and Guo Shenyan. Seeing Guo Shenyan's extremely ugly face, he wanted to persuade Li Liang to pay attention.

Li Liang became interested, grabbed Li Zhi's hand and said mysteriously: "Do you know that my father's adoptive daughter? It's my righteous sister Xian'er. In front of my father, she is much more favored than me, but A few days ago, I heard my righteous sister begging my father. It seems that she also has a crush on the fifth young master of the Chu family. You can't go out and talk nonsense. If my father is upset, everyone will be very miserable. .Also, isn’t it rumored that the Seventh Princess also looks at him differently recently? This is really... really..."

Chu Jing listened quietly, picked up the tea on the table and drank a few sips, unexpectedly changed to light tea at some point, the impression of Li Zhi became clearer in his heart, and he couldn't find Li Zhi for a while. Good adjectives, his eyes are a little erratic, he seems to be missing something, and he seems to be feeling something, and said with a smile: "If my fifth brother is in this situation, he should be called a winner in life!"

Li Liang froze for a moment, then clapped his hands and laughed.

Everyone's expressions became weird. Chu Nan's rocket-like promotion is naturally a hot topic in the capital. It is well known that many beauties fall in love with each other. After being severely humiliated by Chu Nan, although Li Liang's words were just sighing at this time, it sounded like he was slapping Guo Shenyan face to face.

At this moment, there were a few greetings from downstairs, the voice was somewhat familiar, and a sharp-eyed probe looked at it, and said softly with some excitement: "It's Mr. Xiao Chu, the new member of the Ministry of Rites, Wai Lang."

The words were addressed to Prince Li Zhi, but his eyes were on Guo Shenyan, a little gloating, just waiting for how Guo Shenyan's nemesis would embarrass Guo Shenyan this time.

Prince Li Zhi's eyes lit up, and he couldn't wait to order: "Go and invite!" v
