Chapter 101 The Peach Blossom Continues

By chance, Chen Yingliang escaped the danger of almost losing his post and dismissing himself. After breathing a sigh of relief, Chen Yingliang quickly slipped back to the East Palace to continue working, preparing to perform well and redeem his sins. Unfortunately, he didn't have the opportunity to perform, because Shen Shizheng had passed, and it was already time for Chen Yingliang to go home. Today is not the right inner leader's turn to serve as a night. The people in the right inner leader's team have basically been exposed. However, Chen Yingliang's immediate boss is still waiting in the duty room. Seeing Chen Yingliang return, Pei Xin asked nervously: "How is it? Why is the Lord summoning you for what?"

"It's the matter between Xiao Guojiu." Chen Yingliang replied with a sad face: "Xiao Guojiu directly sued the emperor and the queen, so the emperor uploaded me to ask questions."

"The Lord of the Lord summoned you personally for such a trivial matter?" Pei Xin was a little surprised that Emperor Yang of Sui was rich in time, and then asked quickly: "How about that? What kind of treatment did the Lord of the Lord give you?"

"I scolded me a few words and asked me to be a good job, and then I came back." Chen Yingliang answered truthfully, and also misunderstood Pei Xin's meaning, and hurriedly added: "Uncle, don't worry, the emperor did not mention that you gave me a leave, so you shouldn't be involved."

"That's good." Pei Xin breathed a sigh of relief, and then said, "Nephew, Pei Ju Pei Zuoxiang asked me to bring you a message and ask you to go to his house to pay homage. If he hasn't returned home yet, you will wait at his house. He wants to see you today. Now it's Shin Shichu, go quickly."

When Chen Yingliang heard Pei Ju summoning him, he was overjoyed and said goodbye to Pei Ju's help. He hurriedly said goodbye to Pei Xin and hurriedly went home. After changing clothes, he brought gifts to Pei Ju's house. Pei Xin muttered in his heart, "Good-loyal guy, Pei Zuoxiang actually has another sentence. If you are dismissed from your official position, you don't need to ask you to go to him. Damn, what's the luck of this kid? As a member of Wenxi Pei's family, I am a fifth-ranked family member, and I have never been summoned by the emperor and Pei Zuoxiang alone. How could this kid meet the emperor and Pei Zuoxiang be easier than seeing me?"

Of course, Chen Yingliang didn't know that his superiors had already made him crazy, so he just went home to change clothes and brought carefully prepared gifts to Pei Ju's house to pay homage. As a result, Pei Ju had not returned home yet. However, because of Pei Ju's oral letters, the old Pei family's higher-than-headed doors did not dare to let Chen Yingliang wait in line. They respectfully invited Chen Yingliang into the living room, asked Chen Yingliang to taste tea and wait for Pei Ju to return, and also made the civil and military officials who were queuing in the Pei Mansion's doorman's doorman red eyes - they were not even qualified to enter the living room to wait.

I didn't know how long I had been waiting for my patience. The master's shouts came from outside the hall. Chen Yingliang did not dare to be negligent, so he quickly came to the hall to bow to Pei Ju and said to his uncle. Pei Ju seemed a little tired. He gave me a voluntary order and followed me directly into the backyard. Chen Yingliang did not dare to be negligent, so he hurriedly took the gift and followed Pei Ju, and was taken to the back hall by Pei Ju.

Lao Pei really could enjoy it. As soon as he lay down on a brocade bed covered with silk, several beautiful girls of fifteen or sixteen years old came forward. The two girls served him to wash his feet, and the two girls beat his legs. Another particularly beautiful maid stood behind Pei Ju and massaged Pei Ju's shoulders and head. The poor young master Chen Yingliang, however, because Pei Ju didn't say anything, let alone get a similar enjoyment, and he didn't even dare to sit down. He could only stand in front of Pei Ju with a gift, waiting for Pei Ju to speak.

After a lot of time, Pei Ju, who had closed his eyes and enjoyed the massage service, finally spoke, saying: "Tell me what happened today, don't worry about it, just tell me the truth."

Chen Yingliang agreed respectfully, honestly told the truth about what happened today, and also reported the details of Emperor Yang of Sui's revision of the poem to himself. Pei Ju kept his eyes closed and listened without saying a word. Until Chen Yingliang finished everything, Pei Ju, who had closed his eyes, showed some smile and said, "You little guy is really lucky. Uncle Xiao deliberately messed with you, and he deliberately chose the opportunity that your uncle Pei Yun and I were not with the side of the emperor. Unexpectedly, you were resolved by a poem. Very good, you have the wisest to make that poem look very pleasing to the emperor in a hurry, and it makes the emperor embarrassed to deal with you."

"Uncle Xie praised." Chen Yingliang was humble, but he couldn't help but feel a little proud - after all, using a flattery poem to resolve a crisis and also please Emperor Yang of Sui at the same time, this is not something that ordinary people can do.

"What is your relationship with Your Majesty's concubine Jiang Cairen?" Pei Ju suddenly asked again: "When did she find her way? Why didn't we know before?"

"Jiang Cairen?" Chen Yingliang was confused when asked, and asked in confusion: "Uncle, why can't you understand your words? Concubine Jiang? That Jiang Cairen?"

"Don't you know Jiang Cairen?" Pei Ju finally opened her eyes and asked in surprise: "Why did she risk offending the Queen and Xiao Guojiu, and pulled his majesty's concubines to instigate the emperor to summon you, giving you the opportunity to defend yourself in front of the emperor?"

"Is it because of Jiang Cairen's instigation?" Chen Yingliang became more confused and surprised the more he heard it.

Seeing that Chen Yingliang's expression was not like a fake, Pei Ju believed that Chen Yingliang did not have anything to do in the harem of Emperor Yang of Sui, and said with a smile: "It seems that it is just a coincidence. If you have the chance in the future, you will have to repay Jiang Cairen well. If it weren't for her today, you would not have passed this level. I received a report from the palace. Today, Xiao Guogong wanted to kill you. He deliberately chose the chance to bring the concubines to the garden. Taking advantage of the Queen and you, Uncle Pei Yun, were not present, and met the emperor. He wanted to use the impeachment memorial to let you go home to farm. It was Jiang Cairen who pulled several concubines to ask the emperor to summon him, saying that he wanted to see with his own eyes what the legendary little Chen Qingzhi looked like. His Majesty the Emperor gave you the opportunity to defend yourself in person. Otherwise, you would have already fallen into the official hat and went home to farm."

Recalling the order that Emperor Yang of Sui asked him to look up and watch the concubines, Chen Yingliang suddenly realized and was grateful to the Jiang Cairen who secretly pulled him. Chen Yingliang asked in confusion: "Uncle, I have a problem with my nephew. My nephew has never known that uncle Xiao Guogong. Why did he target me so much?"

"Don't you know the reason?" Pei Ju looked helpless and said, "I said, why didn't you inquire about the in-laws and relationships in the court? Xiao Guojiu's wife Dugu is the cousin of Li Yuan, Duke Tang, and Li Yuan's cousin. Duke Tang and you have had so many unhappiness in recent times. You can say, who are you not targeting you?"

Chen Yingliang suddenly realized it thoroughly, lowered his head and gritted his teeth, and at the same time he was inevitably worried that it was indeed not a pleasant thing to provoke royal relatives like the queen's younger brother.

"It seems that Brother Hongce is right. You are indeed a troublemaker. Even if you don't make trouble, someone will find you trouble." Pei Ju seemed to have some sympathy for Chen Yingliang's situation and said with a smile: "But don't worry too much. Go back and work as a job, don't let someone catch the handle. I will hurry up and handle it for you to do something about being asked for trouble every day in Daxing."

Seeing the opportunity coming, Chen Yingliang naturally would not miss it. He quickly bowed to Pei Ju, presented valuable gifts with both hands, and took the opportunity to make a request to go to Qiao County to be Zanzhi. Pei Ju was also happy when he heard it and smiled and said, "I can't see that you, a kid, are so well-informed in this regard, you even know the news that Zanzhi in Qiao County is missing. As a result, this official position happens to be on the same level as you, and you are just a deputy position. It's hard for others to say anything. Since you are willing to ask for it, I'll arrange it as soon as possible and go back and wait for the news."

Unexpectedly, Chen Yingliang was overjoyed and thanked him again and again, then said goodbye to leave. However, Chen Yingliang was still a little confused and said in his heart: "Why did that Jiang Cairen suddenly remember to instigate Emperor Yang of Sui to summon me? I was curious about me to see how handsome he was? But on the day of Yang Xuangan's execution, she should have seen me from afar, why was she so curious about me?"

Thinking about it, Chen Yingliang suddenly remembered another person present at that time, and suddenly remembered a possibility. A warm current suddenly surged into Chen Yingliang's heart, "Is it her? If it was her, what should I do?

After this lesson, he learned Pei Ju's way and got Pei Ju's personal promise. Chen Yingliang, who calmed down, finally became a serious person for two days and was not caught any more. At the same time, the marriage between Chen Yingliang and Changsun Xiaoluoli was officially settled. Chen Yingliang begged Pang Yu, who had been promoted to the general of Zhige, came forward to serve as a matchmaker, and sent him directly to Gao Shilian's family to Nacai, asking for the name and Najib's three gifts. Gao Shilian accepted it as promised and asked Changsun Xiaoluoli to be officially engaged to Chen Yingliang. Then, although Gao Shilian and Chen Laosan and others wanted Chen Yingliang to get married immediately, Chen Yingliang made a request to get married in a few years later.

It was not Chen Yingliang who suddenly regretted that he was Chen Shimei and suddenly didn't want to marry Changsun Xiaoluoli. Changsun Xiaoluoli is too young now, and her actual age is only thirteen years old. Although it is very normal for a girl who gets married at the age of twelve or thirteen years old, as an unqualified public servant, Chen Yingliang still couldn't accept the crime of putting a thirteen-year-old girl under her body and ravaging her. He also explained the reason directly to Gao Shilian and Gao. It was obvious that Changsun Xiaoluoli is too young now, and getting married too early is not good for her health, so he hopes to get married again in a few years. Seeing that Chen Yingliang's attitude was firm, Gao Shilian and his sisters knew that Changsun Xiaoluoli was indeed too young, so they nodded and agreed to Chen Yingliang's request.

By the way, Changsun Wuji had some opinions about Gao Shilian's promise to Chen Yingliang. However, after learning some cruel facts from Gao Shilian, Changsun Wuji finally recognized his uncle Gao Shilian's judgment while being sad and upset. He felt that only Chen Yingliang could make his sister happy for life, so he formally recognized Chen Yingliang as his brother-in-law and politely called Chen Yingliang a brother-in-law. In addition, Changsun Wuji never contacted a friend again - Changsun Wuji could accept the harm of his friend, but could not accept the harm of his friend, equated with his father's uncle Gao Shilian.

In this way, the two peaceful days passed quickly. On the morning court on the third day, Emperor Yang of Sui once again revealed his true colors. He suddenly decided to visit the Taiping Palace in the southwest of Daxing. At the same time, he ordered the Xiaoguo Army, who belonged to the Youtun Guard, to gather in Taiping Palace for inspection. All the civil and military officials of the Great Sui who were familiar with Emperor Yang of Sui knew that this was a signal that Emperor Yang of Sui was preparing to go on a tour again, but no one dared to object. They all praised the wise and powerful emperor in unison, and then honestly followed Emperor Yang of Sui to visit the Taiping Palace without mentioning it.

Emperor Yang of Sui, who had always been leaving, left that day. Daxing Imperial City, which had just been lively for a few days, suddenly became deserted again. The ones who stayed in Daxing were still the stubborn king Yang You and Wei Xuanwei, while Chen Yingliang was not summoned by Xuan to accompany him because he was affiliated with the East Palace of Daxing Imperial City, and still stayed in the Imperial City. Chen Yingliang was both grateful and worried. Of course, he was not required to go to Taiping Palace with Emperor Yang of Sui to stay in the military camp. He had no serious business to do, but he was worried that Pei Ju had obtained the position of Zanzhi of Qiao County for himself. Emperor Yang of Sui suddenly left Daxing, and the position of Zanzhi of Qiao County was not settled. Chen Yingliang had no chance to ask Pei Ju to urge and remind him.

No matter how worried it is, it is useless. Chen Yingliang cannot stop Pei Ju and ask him to set up his new position before leaving. In desperation, Chen Yingliang could only stand for another day, and then leave after get off work at Shen Shi. At the same time, the servant of the Chen Mansion who accompanied Chen Yingliang to and from get off work had already been replaced by Ma Sanbao, the new servant who was taken over by Chen Laosan for Chen Yingliang. He met Chen Yingliang outside Yanxi Gate on time, and then led the horse to fall into stirrups for Chen Yingliang and waited for Chen Yingliang to go home.

After a few days of contact, Chen Yingliang found that he was deceived by the Romance of Sui and Tang Dynasties. The real Ma Sanbao and the Romance are just two people. The Romance said that Ma Sanbao was cut off his limbs and still said nothing, and his attitude was strong. However, in fact, the real Ma Sanbao could talk and talk, and there was no problem with his mouth to talk stand-up crosstalk in later generations. It became the pistachio of the old Chen family within a few days after entering the door. It often made Chen Laosan and other Chen family members laughed. Although Chen Yingliang, who is more calm, did not like Ma Sanbao's frivolity very much, he quickly promoted Ma Sanbao to a personal servant in his later generations and took him to observe and cultivate at any time.

Fortunately, like the New Tang Dynasty records, Ma Sanbao is also a very smart person in addition to being able to speak with his mouth. He can see that Chen Yingliang doesn’t like people who only talk. He can suppress his temperament in front of Chen Yingliang. If he can, he will try not to talk as much as possible. He is more obedient than practical things. After catching Chen Yingliang, he basically didn’t talk much nonsense. Until he entered Yiyangfang, the mansion of the old Chen family was already far away, Ma Sanbao came to Chen Yingliang and whispered: “Young Master, pay attention to your right alley.”

Chen Yingliang, who was worried, first stopped the horse, then turned his head and looked to the right. He saw a red shadow flashing in the alley on the right, and immediately disappeared without a trace. Chen Yingliang was a little surprised and asked Ma Sanbao: "Who is it?"

"Young master, the villain said, don't be angry." Ma Sanbao lowered his head and replied: "It is the daughter of the villain's former former master, Duke Chai Shen, and you were the wife who had never been to the door."

The little conscience left to torture the poor young master Chen Yingliang again. He knew very well that he should have pretended not to see him and continued to go home. However, the little conscience left Chen Yingliang couldn't even ruthlessly say anything. After hesitating for a while, Chen Yingliang turned over and got off the horse, threw the reins to Ma Sanbao, and whispered to wait for me here, then walked towards the alley. Ma Sanbao was obediently holding the horse on the side of the road, and was very clever and didn't follow him to watch the fun.

Chen Yingliang once hoped that Chai Qian had already passed through the alley and left, but unfortunately, after entering this remote alley, Chen Yingliang found that this was a dead end. A weed-covered earthen wall cut off the alley in half. Chai Qian, wearing a red shirt, stood facing the earthen wall, her thin shoulders shook, as if she was crying. Chen Yingliang did not hesitate any more this time, walked straight behind Chai Qian, and greeted, "Miss Chai."

Chai Qian's shoulders stopped shaking. After a while, Chai Qian slowly turned around, looked at Chen Yingliang and asked, "What's the matter?"

In less than ten days, Chen Yingliang's former fiancée Chai Qian was obviously thinner and looked haggard. Her beautiful eyes were all red, which made contemporary Chen Shimei feel a little ashamed when she saw it. She tried to avoid Chai Qian's gaze. Chen Yingliang said solemnly: "We are destined by God and have no fate. Now that things have come to this, I still say the same thing, I wish you happiness and a wishful husband as soon as possible."

"Happy?" Chai Qian was already straightforward and knew that the chance to talk to Chen Yingliang alone might have been the last time, so she didn't have any scruples, so she choked up and said directly: "Do you think I'm still happy? I'm already a laughing stock in the whole world. What else do you think I can have?"

"I also know that this matter will hurt you a lot." Chen Yingliang said helplessly: "But you know that the past and after this matter are gone by, you can't blame me. If you hadn't forced you to return the jade pendant, I could have found Gao Da's home and happened to encounter such a thing? Or, if your family members mentioned our affairs one or two days in the morning, I might not have agreed to Gao Da's marriage agreement at once. Or, if your sister-in-law and family were not tampered with Gao Da's case, Gao Da would definitely not have promised him to me with his niece. There were so many accidental mistakes, all of which were staggered. What can you do if you told me?"

Chai Qian shed tears, because Chai Qian also knew that the matter between him and Chen Yingliang was indeed that his snobbish father and brother made the wrong choice at the beginning, and he also took the wrong step by mistake, pushing his kind-hearted former fiancé to Changsun Xiaoluoli. The kind-hearted Chen Yingliang was not wrong in this matter. However, Chai Qian still had a sentence in her heart, "Why haven't you ever thought about rejecting Changsun sister? Or, now you break off the engagement with her?"

Of course, Chai Qian could only say this in her heart, and she couldn't say it anyway. Chen Yingliang smiled bitterly and repaired it, "Or it is, if you don't mind the position of the concubine, I will never mind."

Chai Qian's pink face suddenly turned red. She raised her slap and wanted to slap Chen Yingliang's shameless face. But after slap, Chai Qian still forced herself to stop. She was really shameless and whispered to her former fiancé, who was kind but kind. Chen Yingliang did not dodge until Chai Qian slowly lowered her slap. Chen Yingliang whispered again: "I know you will mind, and your parents and brothers will mind, so I really can't do anything about it. I sincerely hope you can be happy and forget me."

After saying that, Chen Yingliang turned around and left, leaving Chai Qian crying silently. A trace of regret also quietly came to Chai Qian's heart, making Chai Qian couldn't help but complain in her heart: "Why didn't you ask me more? Or, why did you give me some time to think about it?"

Of course, Chen Shimei and Chen Yingliang didn't know the regret of his former fiancée. After leaving the alley, Chen Yingliang was very conscientious and walked and strode directly. Ma Sanbao followed with his horse. Fortunately, it was not far from Chen's mansion. Chen Yingliang didn't spend much time back to his house. When he was going up the steps, the door of Chen's mansion greeted him, saying respectfully, "Young Master, two guests have been visiting. I have been waiting for you at home for a while."

"Who? Mr. Fang and Mr. Du?" Chen Yingliang asked casually.

"It's not them." Menzi shook his head and denied it, and introduced it: "It was a young girl and an old man. The girl said that her name was Yu'er and she was your friend, so the third uncle asked them to go into the living room and wait."

Chen Yingliang staggered and fell on the steps of his house on the spot, screaming in his heart, "No way? I just got engaged again, why did Yu'er come to the door immediately? If she said that she decided to accept my pursuit, then wouldn't I, Chen Shimei, be determined?"
