After resigning, I switched to fortune-telling

Chapter 68

The so-called father and son are nothing more than that.Xie Shizi sighed sadly, he might not be as filial as his cheap son who rushed up to call his father, at least he was filial to his real money.

At this time, Mr. Xie missed the benefits of Chen Huizhou a little bit.

It's Chen Huizhou's own father, and the Minister of Rites may be too fond of seeing his father who appeared halfway.

In fact, Chen Huizhou didn't want to see him either.

Today's Mid-Autumn Festival dinner, Minister of Rites brought his wife and eldest son, that is, Chen Huizhou, to attend.Chen Huizhou arrived early, and the psychological shadow of being teased by Xie Tangru was still there. When he saw Xie Tangru's smiling face, he was scarier than seeing a ghost. He immediately shrank his neck and hid behind his mother, for fear that Xie Tangru would leave Come over and pat him on the shoulder with a smile, and call "son" in front of countless people, wouldn't he lose face and feel ashamed in the entire capital?

Thinking of Xie Tangru, the inexplicable emotion in Chen Huizhou's heart emerged again.

He thinks he is better than Xie Tangru in everything.His father is a minister of the Ministry of Rites. Although he does not have the title of Duke of the State, he is from a noble and scholarly family, and his father is a court official with real power. He is a highly praised talented person in the capital, clean and self-disciplined, and studied under the great Confucianism of the time, while Xie Tangru has nothing but a skin and a belly full of recklessness, nothing can compare to him.

But who would have thought that Xie Tangru could become Tanhua in just one face.Originally thought that the new emperor would ascend the throne, and he would definitely give up on this idiot who repeatedly let himself down, after all, he didn't have any real talents.But the results are often surprising, Chen Huizhou is still a white body, but Xie Tangru has become the favorite of the emperor.

It's nothing special... Chen Huizhou thought bitterly, when he becomes an official in the future, he will be a general and a prime minister.It's different from a villain like Xie Tangru who only flatters his superiors.

He thought to himself for a while, but Xie Tangru didn't notice him at all. Shang Qingyao waved and asked the chief eunuch to pick a seat close to him for Xie Tangru to sit down.

"The chicken with bamboo shoots and golden threads made by the Imperial Dining Room today is not bad. It's your favorite taste." After Shang Qingyao finished speaking, the eunuch with a discerning eye immediately brought the plate to Xie Tangru.

Xie Tangru didn't have a high appetite, but because it was Shang Qingyao who spoke, he moved two chopsticks symbolically. The cooks in the palace are naturally impeccable, and the taste is just right. Xie Tangru praised a few words, and said: "But Shouldn’t mooncakes be eaten during the Mid-Autumn Festival today?”

"Of course there are mooncakes." Shang Qingyao smiled faintly, "Didn't you order someone to send a box to Wei Guogong's mansion earlier? Why are you still asking for it from me today?"

Xie Tangru didn't say that the box of mooncakes that Shang Qingyao sent had already entered his father's stomach, and said casually: "The other mooncakes are not as delicious as those in His Majesty's palace, even if they come out of the same cage, the taste will change when they leave the palace." gone."

"Why?" Shang Qingyao asked softly.

"Because it's different for reunion people." Xie Tangru squinted his eyes, smiled and said with one hand.The chief eunuch seemed to smile very faintly after seeing His Majesty's words.

Halfway through the banquet, female family members continued to find excuses to leave the table and change their clothes. The banquet singing and dancing in the palace is usually boring, in order not to make mistakes, so there is always nothing new.The wives and ladies of noble birth have long been tired of watching, so they found excuses to go out to get some fresh air as in previous years.

Not long after, the Chief Eunuch next to Shang Qingyao announced that His Majesty had gone back to rest because he was too strong to drink. The atmosphere was relaxed a little bit, and the voice of discussion in the hall gradually became louder.

Wei Guogong poured himself a glass of wine, and when he saw that the seat of his own bastard diagonally opposite was also empty, his smile flickered inexplicably with a cold light.

——I told you to hug the emperor and cry, but I didn't tell you to run away with the emperor directly.

The chief eunuch brought people to the Duke of Wei, and beat his heart to the Duke who had been honed on the battlefield and was expressionless at the moment, with an astonishing expression on his face, but he had no choice but to bite the bullet: "Your Majesty heard that Duke Wei likes Fine wine, there happens to be a jug of good wine in the private treasury, called Man Fang Zun, and the slaves specially asked the servants to take it out for the Duke of the country to feast on for fun."

He clapped his hands as he spoke, and immediately a little eunuch with a pleasing eyebrow opened the wine jar, and the strong aroma of the wine overflowed. You don't need to taste it, but you know it is a rare good wine.

All right, little bastard is worth at least a jar of good wine.

Wei Guogong's face softened a little as he thought about it.

The chief eunuch breathed a sigh of relief, he was more careful with this Wei Guogong than he was with the noble clan, he didn't even dare to use the word "gift" when sending this altar of wine, for fear of offending Wei Guogong.

…………

Chen Huizhou drank a few glasses of wine with a few of his friends, and felt a little dizzy when he got drunk, and seeing that His Majesty treated Xie Tang honestly and kindly, he felt even more depressed, so he left the palace and came to the garden to blow Hair.

"Mr. Chen seems to be in a bad mood?" A beautiful female voice came from behind him. Chen Huizhou looked back and saw a young woman in blue clothes standing not far away with a smile under the moonlight. Her face was covered by the moonlight. The light gauze made her look like a spirit in the mountains and forests.

Chen Huizhou's Jiu Jin suddenly woke up, and he became vigilant: "Who are you?"

When the woman came over, her rings jingled, although she was acting immodestly, but because of her clean and beautiful face, she had a bit of unaffected natural vivacity.She tilted her head and walked around Chen Huizhou: "You don't know me, but I know you, and—"

She lengthened her tone, "I also know why you are in a bad mood today."

Chen Huizhou laughed, "Do you know why I'm in a bad mood?"

"That's right." Yu Ran nodded, and looked at him, with slyness in her jet-black eyes, "I also know a way to make you feel better."

Chen Huizhou originally didn't want to talk to this woman with a strange background, but as if his thoughts were out of his control, he vaguely followed Yu Ran's intentions and asked, "What?"

He became sober again after speaking, and stared at Yu Ran. The lonely man and widow under the moonlit night really seemed to be the beginning of a charming love story in a storybook. This woman said that the way to make him feel better would not be a dewy marriage. ?

Seeing what he was thinking, Yu Ran immediately rolled her eyes: "I don't like you." If it weren't for the man in the mansion who seemed a little more controlled, Yu Ran wouldn't want to talk to him.She endured it, and said to Chen Huizhou with a good temper: "You do what I say now, and I guarantee you will get a chance to rise to the top."

Under the moonlight, her eyes seemed to have some kind of strange power, sucking people into the whirlpool.

"........."

In the imperial garden, Xie Tangru and Shang Qingyao walked for a while, without asking the maids and eunuchs to follow, Xie Tangru took a paper lantern by himself, and casually talked to Shang Qingyao.

"The dance music in the palace this year is no different from when the late emperor was here."

"Tell them to arrange something new next year." Shang Qingyao replied, he had just taken over the throne, and everything in the entire court was more important than a song and dance at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, so naturally he would not look at such insignificant things. As long as it doesn't go wrong.

Xie Tangru also knew that he was busy with government affairs, so he thought for a while and said: "That's not necessary, anyway, few people at the banquet came to enjoy the singing and dancing."

Shang Qingyao smiled: "It's up to you."

The two stopped in the middle of the garden, the clouds broke and the moon rose, and the moon was bright and clear in the night.

"It's a full moon." Xie Tangru said softly, "My mother used to have the habit of worshiping the moon when it's full moon. The customs of the Guifang clan are somewhat different from those of the Central Plains."

The Central Plains will only worship the moon and make wishes on the day of Mid-Autumn Festival.

"It is said that every wish you make on this day will come true." Shang Qingyao looked at him sideways.

"Does Your Majesty have any wishes?" Xie Tangru asked with a smile.He doesn't really believe in these things, but folk customs believe that worshiping the moon will bring good luck to the moon god.And since Shang Qingyao has spoken, it's not bad to win the favor.

"Then I hope...every year will last forever."

Shang Qingyao's voice was played very softly, but it was strange that Xie Tangru was still very clear in such a vast and boundless night, and he even saw another voice clearly.

——That was the sound of sharp arrows piercing through the air.
