Chapter 373: The Pure Gao Yanei

I spent several days fighting the autumn wind in Honglu Temple, and Chen Ao was also annoyed. It was really meaningless to talk to some merchants every day. It was not spring yet, and the envoys from various countries were not interested, so these days were very boring.

But the empress dowager, I heard that Chen Ao was back, and asked Chen Ao to enter the palace to play the Ye Zi card several times. Chen Ao was also a very good person. She immediately brought some rare gifts into the palace, such as Glazed Zun and Rhinoceros horn jewelry, and gave them all. Anyway, these things are from foreign merchants. After receiving money, Chen Ao would not refuse. However, most of these things are of no use except for giving them to a few ladies. Chen Ao is not short of this amount of money, so it would be better to make the old lady happy.

Zhao Ji naturally had gifts. A merchant sent a rhino sculpture, a relief sculpture with Central Asian characteristics. Zhao Ji liked this thing very much and couldn't let go. Chen Ao was a smart person. He didn't take it exclusively when others gave him gifts. The so-called benefits were equal, and everyone had a share. He often brought some gifts to the concubines in the palace. Even the Empress Dowager Chen Ao also gave it to him. However, the Empress Dowager was a little embarrassed, but he reluctantly accepted it.

This day, I arrived at the harem again and played cards with the Queen Mother for a long time. The Queen Mother had a very good impression of him. She said to Chen Ao with a smile: "What did the emperor talk to the Ai family about recruiting marriage yesterday? An Ning also agreed."

Chen Ao pretended to be surprised and said, "Ah? I don't know anything about recruiting a bride."

The Empress Dowager said with a stern face: "The Emperor said it was your idea."

Chen Ao was ashamed. He never thought that Zhao Ji had betrayed him. This scene was a waste of his expression and hurriedly said, "Oh, I remembered it. It seems that he had indeed given this suggestion to His Majesty."

The Empress Dowager sighed: "A good princess, why should I invite a kiss? But what the emperor said makes sense. An Ning is weak in her eyes and should ask her for a marriage. There are not many good children of the meritorious nobles. Or they are a coward who is not good. They are a few of them who are in trouble. They have a few appearances and are talented. The Ai family specifically agreed, but An Ning didn't like it after hearing it. When asked which one she liked, she refused to say it. It really made people anxious. An Ning's child looks very docile, but he is very proud in his heart. It is a good way to recruit a kiss."

Chen Ao said: "It's still the empress dowager who is enlightened."

The empress dowager smiled and said, "I'm so enlightened. Yesterday I scolded the emperor for this matter, saying that it was inappropriate. The emperor didn't say anything at first, but after thinking about it all night, the Ai family understood that he was also a parent. If it weren't for the fact that there was no way, how could he be so anxious that he would even adopt such an idea? Chen Ao, you are a capable person. I heard that even the Khitans were frightened by you. If you go to see him later, you will say that the Ai family agreed."

Chen Ao knew that the Empress Dowager was embarrassed to show weakness to Zhao Ji, so she asked herself to be the leader, so she quickly responded.

Then he went to see Zhao Ji again. Zhao Ji sat in Wenjing Pavilion. When he saw Chen Ao coming, he nodded with him and fell into a staggering position. Chen Ao stood there, and sat there. After waiting for a while, Zhao Ji suddenly raised his eyes and said, "Chen Ao, why don't you sit down and talk?"

Chen Ao stood so hard that his legs were almost sore. He immediately sat down and reposted the Queen Mother's words. Zhao Ji was overjoyed and said, "Did the Queen Mother agree? That's great." Then he cheered up and said, "I wanted to leave this matter to you, but you..." After that, he looked at Chen Ao and then said, "I love to make trouble too much, so I'll leave it to Master Cai to do the matter of marriage."

Chen Ao said: "Teacher Cai is loyal, honest, smart and capable, so he will naturally have no problem with him." He thought to himself, he is not loyal, but he is very thick-skinned, and is really smart. How many ups and downs can the old fox survive? At this age, he can still take charge of all the affairs and take charge of the court. He said he is not smart, that is really a ghost; as for what he can do... Chen Ao looked up at Liang Zhu and thought about it. Cai Jing was probably the biggest stumbling block in the court in the future. The problem he has not really attacked him yet. This is really scary. A person is not afraid of thieves, but is afraid of being missed by the thieves. He still doesn't know when the old thief Cai Jing will stab himself behind him!

Zhao Ji didn't know what Chen Ao thought and smiled and said, "Yes, I'm very pleased that you can see the Grand Master like this. In fact, although you two had a grudge in the past, don't get along again in the future. The Grand Master entered the palace a few days ago, and he praised you when you mentioned it."

Chen Ao just smiled but didn't say anything. Zhao Ji said regretfully: "You finally came back. I wanted to wait for you to have a few days to ask you for advice on calligraphy and painting, but An Ning made me upset. You should step down and do it well, and don't let my expectations down."

Two days later, Chen Ao and his three beautiful wives were playing in the back garden. When they heard two girls whispering, they said, "The emperor wants to invite a bride? This is interesting. It is said that many talented men have signed up. Princess Anning is the most favored by the emperor. If anyone wins her favor, it will be enviable."

Another girl said, "Oh, the princess is so good. If you want to find a good husband, all men in the world are flocking to you. It's a pity that we are miserable people, and we will be slaves and servants all our lives. If we marry someone in the future, we will most likely be grooms and cooks."

The little girl was innocent and romantic, and she didn't care about her words. When she talked about this, she was both envious and a little sad about her life experience. She chattered and suddenly saw Chen Ao appear and smiled and said to them: "What princess is calling for a bride?"

Chen Ao has always been a good-tempered master at home. Zhou Ruo and Liu Sheng in the family are blushing, while Chen Ao is a bad guy. Anyway, he never cared about housework and did not have to establish any majesty. Therefore, although the two girls were shocked, they were not afraid of him. One girl stood up and said, "Young master, it has been spread in the market. It is said that it is Mr. An Ning who chooses a marriage, and that as long as the young heroes with fame can register, many young masters and husbands are rushing to sign up, and they all want to be the prince consort of this marriage."

It was the first time Chen Ao heard this news. Although he knew that the will would be heard in the palace sooner or later, he didn't expect it to be so fast and said with a smile: "What does the princess choose to marry you? Don't always listen to some gossip outside."

The two girls quickly said yes, and went to work. At this moment, Zhenzhen came from somewhere and said with a smile: "What? Is it that my husband is also interested in the princess's choice of marriage?"

Chen Ao said with a stern face: "The conscience of heaven and earth, I already have four delicate wives. Not to mention princesses, even fairies descend to earth, I will never look at them."

Zhenzhen just smiled. She was wearing a green long dress. Although she was bare-faced, this smile had a wonderful style, especially her affectionate eyes, which had a seductive style. When her waist twisted, her charm even more. She said, "I don't believe my husband's words."

Chen Ao suddenly lowered his face and said intentionally or unintentionally: "Zhenzhen, if I really brought someone to your company, would you say yes?"

The two stood under the eaves, and Zhenzhen was just smiling, but the smile was a bit complicated. Seeing that there was no one around, she leaned on Chen Ao's shoulders weakly and leaned against Shen Ao's arms, and said confusedly: "If Zhen Zhen is willing, will your husband believe it?"

Chen Ao shook his head: "Don't believe it."

Zhenzhen sighed, feeling the warmth brought by Chen Ao's chest, and bit her lip, "Of course Zhenzhen feels uncomfortable. There is only one Chen Ao in Zhenzhen's world. He is Zhenzhen's husband and Zhenzhen's only support. However, in the eyes of her husband, Zhenzhen only occupies a few percent. This is certainly a woman's fate, but Zhenzhen naturally hopes that the fewer women in her husband's heart, the better."

As Zhenzhen said, tears fell like pearl chains, dripping on Shen Ao's clothes, and after a long time, he said: "But Zhenzhen understands that Zhenzhen's husband is not a kind person, and it is his nature to be flirted with herbs. As a wife, I should follow him, but I hope he will still take Zhenzhen to heart and be satisfied."

Chen Ao was very moved by the words before, but later his evaluation of himself was like pouring cold water on Chen Ao in the dog days. Chen Ao thought to himself that in Zhenzhen's eyes, he liked to be flirted with her. He hugged her tightly and whispered: "Zhen Zhen is always the best in my heart."

Chen Ao suddenly had the urge to give up, but soon, thinking of An Ning who was seriously ill, he couldn't help but shake his head in his heart, "It's a grievance."

Taking advantage of the time of duty, Chen Ao skipped the shift and went to the Ministry of Rites to register. When he arrived here, Chen Ao realized that the noise was too big this time. The young masters who came to register were densely packed, blocking the entire street, which was spectacular.

Chen Ao couldn't get in for a moment, so he had to check the situation in the corner first. Then he heard the young men beside him talking about Princess An Ning's beauty, and they were all full of spirits. Chen Ao ignored them and heard someone shouting behind him: "Mr. Shen."

Chen Ao looked back and saw Deng Long climbing over mysteriously. Chen Ao widened his eyes and said, "Deng Long, what are you here to do?"

Deng Long smiled and said, "I'm here, so I have to try my luck."

Chen Ao said: "You have no fame, how can you sign up?"

Deng Long said with a pride: "I am a martial artist from Jianzhong Jingguo. Isn't this fame? Don't think I am a rough person. I may not say that Princess An Ning likes me or not."

Chen Ao was speechless and heard Deng Long say again: "Mr. Shen came here, could he also sign up? Oh my god, Lord. I'm not saying you, you have so many wives in your family, aren't you still satisfied? Even if you want to grab this poor job for your brothers, can you teach people how to live?"

Chen Ao crossed his hands and said proudly: "You can come, why can't I come? Less nagging, come and think of ways to squeeze in."

Deng Long scratched his head and said, "How can I do it?"

At this moment, I heard a burst of scolding in Yonghe Lane. Dozens of servants were driving people out of the way with sticks. They were the first to be arrogant and cursed loudly: "Are you tired of living? Get out of here, you guys, get out of here, even Gao Yanei's road, whoever dares to block the road, will take you one by one to the cavalry department to eat the board!"

Chen Ao looked over and saw dozens of vicious servants driving a road. When he met the arrogant Gao Yanei, no one who was blindly looking at him would dare to make a sound. The servant was shaking a flower fan and shaking himself in the middle of winter. There was another person next to Gao Yanei, who was handsome and arrogant, walking side by side with Gao Yanei.

It's Cai Lun...

Chen Ao recognized the pair and immediately had an idea in his heart. He said to Deng Long: "Follow me, I have a way."

The two of them rushed towards Gao Yanei, lined up the crowd, and finally arrived at the open space left by the servants, and shouted to Gao Yanei: "Brother Gao is fine, haha, I haven't seen you for many days, but I missed Chen."

Gao Yanei held up the fan. When he heard someone called him, he thought it was a playboy he knew. When he looked at Chen Ao, he was so scared that his face looked like a slut. It must be noted that the last time he offended Chen Ao, Chen Ao not only beat him up, but when he arrived at the yamen, the talented man in Shen was not afraid at all. He forced him to suffer a great loss. His godfather finally saved him. He originally wanted to ask his godfather to clean up this unsightly thing, but when Gao Qiu heard what he said, he slapped him in a slap and did not forget to warn: "Everyone in Bianjing City can be provoked, but this surname Chen can never provoke him again!"

The slap and warning were still in my ears. When he saw Chen Ao, Gao Yanei was like a mouse and saw the cat. He was so scared that he retreated repeatedly and said, "You... don't come here."

Chen Ao just wanted to go over and calmly put his shoulder on Gao Yanei's shoulder. Like a friend he had met again after a long time, he smiled and said, "Brother Gao forgot me so soon? Oh my, you are so unfaithful. We were good brothers who had burned yellow paper and cut chicken heads back then. Do you know each other or not? I'm going to be angry!"

This sentence was so angry that Gao Yanei was so shocked that he shuddered. His eyes turned and he smiled bitterly: "I recognize it, I recognize it, it's Brother Chen. Brother Chen is my good friend. How can I not know my good brother?"

"That's right!" Chen Ao smiled proudly in his heart, and stretched out his hand and said, "Even brothers should settle the score clearly, right? Brother Gao still remembers whether he borrowed me five thousand guan of money the year before, come back quickly."

Gao Yanei couldn't help but say, "When did I owe..." This sentence was said, and under Shen Ao's cold eyes, he didn't dare to say anything again. He gritted his teeth and said, "Yes, yes, I remembered it, but I didn't bring money on me, what should I do?"

Chen Ao patted his shoulder sincerely and said with a smile: "Who of us and we are in the same pair of pants, and there is nothing to do with it. I will just make a letter for me later and sign and seal it."

Gao Yanei was thinking to himself: Is he a blackmail? Should I scream for help?
