Chapter 472 Please
"Yes, my lord, General Li even brought generous gifts."
Hearing the servant's report, Chu Nan went to check the gifts brought by Li Houming, but they were all the tonics he was waiting for.
"What is he doing here at this time?"
Chu Lianqing frowned and sat up from the bed.
Although Li Houming didn't say anything, Chu Lianqing knew that he didn't like dealing with him very much, otherwise the other party wouldn't have left as soon as he arrived at Dongfeng Mansion.
So at this time Li Houming came to the door with a generous gift, how could he not be suspicious.
"Couldn't he want to come to make sure I'm well, and then take this opportunity to offer the Golden Buddha alone?"
Chu Lianqing narrowed his eyes, and there was a hint of vigilance in his eyes.
How could he be willing to be picked by others at this last moment after he had put so much thought into the Golden Buddha? !
"Master, what should we do now? See you or not?" Chu Nan looked at Chu Lianqing with some embarrassment.
If Chu Lianqing didn't see General Li, wouldn't that just tell the other party clearly that his illness is still not cured?
Then Li Houming will have an excuse!
"See!"
Chu Lianqing coughed slightly, and quickly made a decision.
"Fresh and dress me up, and find a box of rouge and water powder for me to put on, so that I look better."
Chu Lianqing lifted the quilt and got up from the bed, and at the same time gave instructions to Chu Nan.
"Yes, sir!"
Chu Nan understood Chu Lianqing's intention and immediately complied.
Li Houming was sitting in the living room drinking hot tea while looking at the surrounding environment.
"General Li, it's a shame to welcome you to my humble house!"
Chu Lianqing walked in from the door and watched Li Houming chatting politely with him.
Li Houming put down his teacup, glanced at Chu Lianqing, saw that he looked good, he was slightly relieved, and then said: "Master Chu was ill before, and Li was worried, so I came here to visit the sick, but I don't know about Master Chu's health." How is your recovery?"
When Chu Lianqing heard that this person really came to see a doctor, the alarm immediately sounded in his heart.
"Thanks to the treatment of a famous doctor, my illness is no longer a problem, thank you General Li for your concern."
Chu Lianqing and Li Houming had their own thoughts, and they came and went politely.
"This time I came to see Master Chu, besides visiting Master Chu's body, there is another thing I want to ask Master Chu for help."
Li Houming didn't like these hypocritical polite words in his heart, and he was really impatient at the moment, so he directly stated his intention of coming.
"Oh?"
Chu Lianqing's eyes flickered slightly, looked at Li Houming and asked, "I don't know what it is? If I can help, I will definitely help."
It’s fine to listen to this kind of words, but if you really believe it, then you are definitely an honest person.
The kind that will be bullied by everyone in partnership.
"On the day of the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet, Mr. Li still has important matters to attend to. I'm afraid he won't be able to enter the palace with Mr. Chu to present the golden Buddha to the emperor and queen mother." Li Houming directly stated his intention of coming.
He knew what Chu Lianqing was thinking, and he would definitely happily agree to this request.
"Oh?"
Chu Lianqing stared at Li Houming with wide eyes, with ecstasy in his eyes, but he was suspicious by nature and immediately noticed something was wrong.
How could Li Houming give up such a good thing suddenly?
"Dare to ask General Li, why didn't you go all of a sudden?" Chu Lianqing looked at Li Houming cautiously and asked.
"I also want to go, but I can't help it." Li Houming raised his mouth reluctantly and said helplessly.
Li Houming is a member of the military camp, so it is normal for him to be inconvenient to say anything.
He didn't bother to make excuses, let Chu Lianqing figure it out by himself!
Chu Lianqing had no doubts about this, and a sense of joy welled up in his heart.
Of course, the credit of one person is greater than that of two people!
If Li Houming doesn't go, then he will have to take all the credit for it by himself!
"What a pity!" Chu Lianqing said hypocritically.
"I can only trouble Mr. Chu for a while." Li Houming shook his head and said helplessly: "I also ask Mr. Chu to speak a few words of kindness in front of the emperor and queen mother!"
"This is for sure. General Li has worked so hard all the way, and I will definitely report all this to the emperor and queen mother!" Chu Lianqing said immediately, but he knew it in his heart. No wonder Li Houming came to the door with a generous gift, so he wanted to ask him this matter!
But Li Houming asked the wrong person!
He, Chu Lianqing, was not a person who would give up the credit for what he got.
At that time, he will never mention Li Houming a word, all the credit is his alone!
"Then thank you, Master Chu!"
Li Houming wished that Chu Lianqing would not mention him a word, seeing that Chu Lianqing agreed, he didn't stay here any longer, and got up to leave after a short exchange of pleasantries.
Chu Lianqing also knew where the Buddha statue was stored, and even Chu Lianqing was the only one who had the key to the iron cage outside the Buddha statue.
After that, Li Houming doesn't need to intervene, Chu Lianqing will arrange it himself.
"General Li, go slowly!"
Chu Lianqing personally sent Li Houming out, and looked at Li Houming's far away back, with a sarcastic smile on his lips.
"Li Houming, Li Houming, what's the use of being busy all this way, in the end, I'm not the only one who deserves the credit?"
When Chu Zhangyang came back from outside, he happened to see Li Houming going out from the yard.
"Father, is the person who came just now the general of that day?" Chu Zhangyang recognized Li Houming and asked quickly.
"Well, on New Year's Eve, he has something to do and can't go, so I will present the Golden Buddha to the emperor and queen mother by myself."
Chu Lianqing was in high spirits every time he had a happy event. Although he still had a little sickness on his body, his body was full of energy.
"Really? That's really nice!"
Chu Zhangyang had a sluggish look at first, but when he heard the news, he immediately became happy.
"After this incident, I'm likely to stay in Dongfeng Mansion, and I can be promoted online!" Chu Lianqing said with some emotion.
Although being the magistrate of a prefecture has great rights, he still prefers to stay in Dongfeng Mansion, the most powerful place.
"Then Zhang Yang is here to congratulate father in advance!" Chu Zhangyang bowed his hands.
Chu Lianqing waved his hand to get him up, and suddenly asked: "Isn't your foot healed yet? Why did you go out suddenly?"
Chu Zhangyang's foot was sprained when he was in Xiangguo Temple, even if he went down the mountain, he had to find someone to carry him back.
Although it was nothing serious, he still couldn't recover in three to five days. Chu Zhangyang must have something urgent to go out at this time.
"I'm going to find Mr. Sima."
When Chu Zhangyang heard this, he pursed his lips, and said with a bit of embarrassment: "It's just that Mr. Sima seems to have been grounded because of this incident, so I can't see him for the time being."
"The science exam is coming soon, it's fine not to see him now, just study at home." Chu Lianqing frowned and said.
Hearing Chu Lianqing mention the imperial examination, a person's face suddenly appeared in Chu Zhangyang's mind - Chu Zhuang!
"Father, Chuzhuang has concealed his talent and learning. Although everyone guesses that he will not pass the first round of the test, if he is lucky enough to pass, then according to his talent and learning, he may be the number one scholar." ..." Chu Zhangyang's eyes were full of worry.
It's not a secret that Chu Zhuang's scores in the first round of exams are poor, and everyone in Yushan Academy knows it.
Those who are interested will know it after a little inquiring.
But the problem is that even so, everyone still has no way not to be afraid of Chu Zhuang.
Because he is so powerful that he is far ahead of all talented scholars in terms of talent and learning.
If they are allowed to pass a round of exams, no surprises, everyone's ranking will drop by one.
This is already a fact recognized by everyone.
"Chuzhuang..."
Chu Lianqing pursed his lips and touched his chest.
There was still a mark there that made him tremble day and night. Ever since he experienced the "female ghost" incident, he dared not fall asleep every night. He had to be guarded by several people to barely sleep for a while.
Let him deal with Chu Zhuang now. To be honest, he really wants to, but he doesn't have the guts.
He was afraid that one night, the "female ghost" crawled out of the abyss to look for him...
"Don't talk about Chuzhuang for now." Chu Lianqing frowned and said.
Jingheng Guoshi of Dongfeng Mansion is very famous, even more powerful than Huiming. He wants to find an opportunity for the other party to remove the bloody fingerprints on his body, and even get rid of the "female ghost". Make a move on Chu Zhuang.
Before that, he didn't even want to see Chu Zhuang.
No, he didn't even want to hear that name!
Chu Lianqing didn't want to say more, turned around and left directly.
"Father!"
Chu Zhangyang looked at Chu Lianqing's back with unwillingness in his eyes. He had mentioned this matter several times, but Chu Lianqing always acted unwilling to talk about it.
"Could it be that you were really scared out of your wits by the female ghost?"
Chu Zhangyang has never seen the power of a "female ghost", but only heard it described by his servants.
Although he was also afraid, but there was no movement during this period of time, and the fear in his heart gradually dissipated.
"Hmph! It seems that Mr. Sima and the others can only speak to their father in person!"
Chu Zhangyang had his own plans in mind.
Chu Lianqing wanted to cling to the Sima family, and when Sima Jincheng asked him to deal with Chu Zhuang, he didn't believe that Chu Lianqing could still refuse!
"Chu Zhuang, let you enjoy yourself for a while longer!"
Chu Zhangyang snorted coldly and also entered the room.
……
"Although there are charcoal basins in the palace, you have to wait outside before entering the palace. If you don't wear warm clothes, you may get cold again."
Yunmengxi murmured in a low voice while tidying Chu Zhuang's clothes.
Today is the Lantern Festival, Chu Zhuang entered the palace to attend the banquet at the emperor's command, although Yun Mengxi also wanted to go in, but he could only go to the harem to attend the banquet with the queen mother and queen, and could not accompany Chu Zhuang.
"Mengxi, I'm already wrapped into a bear, so I won't freeze." Chu Zhuang said while looking at Yunmengxi with a wry smile.
Yunmengxi snorted softly, and ignored Chu Zhuang. People who have just been ill have no right to complain about wearing too much.
