Chapter 20
After the banquet, Situ Qing never saw Li Jinchen again.When she was free, she went to sit with Chen Siyu and helped prepare some luggage.The Chen family is also preparing the dowry, with multiple people and multiple helpers.
"Qing'er, I heard that at the Qiqiao banquet, you agreed to the marriage proposal of the King of Chu?" Chen Siyu was worried, "The King of Chu is said to be a manly man, and he is also a pamper, and he is so weak, you say you."
"Don't worry, good sister-in-law. I just promised to develop a relationship with her, but I didn't promise to marry her. Her move was wrong, and it fell into my arms. I just took this opportunity to escort my sister-in-law to my brother safely." hands."
Li Jinchen did not contact Situ Qing either, as if the two had never known each other that night.
Preparations for the transportation of grain and grass are in full swing.
As the escort supervisor, Li Jinchen sat in the back hall of the Ministry of War, tasting the best Biluochun, and a pile of untouched material accounts was placed on the case next to him.Cen Jingsheng, Minister of the Ministry of War, sat at the bottom, waiting for Li Jinchen's order.
"Lord Cen." Li Jinchen put down the teacup.
"His Royal Highness, the accounts of all supplies are here, please have a look." Cen Jingsheng replied politely.
"No need, this king is also the first time to escort grain and grass, so I don't have much experience. But this material." Li Jinchen took a picture of the mule's ledger, "just follow your old rules, Xiao Wang, I'm not unreasonable." .You also know that Xiao Wang is not in good health, so it is estimated that this is the only chance for escort. Do you understand?"
Cen Jingsheng's eyes lit up, he nodded and replied, "King Chu, don't worry, I understand!"
"That's good, Mu Xin, let's go." Li Jinchen led Mu Xin out of the military department.
"Your Highness, the eyeliner is all down, just wait for their action." Mu Xin reported to Li Jinchen in a low voice.
"Hey, it's time for the King of Jin to stumble." Li Jinchen paced back and forth, "Over the years, the food and grass escorts have been fat jobs, and the military salaries have been exploited from top to bottom. There are not many big men who really go to the frontier soldiers. Really It's time to deal with them. Mu Xin, you must be prepared to leave the city, with my participation, they may not make a move in the imperial capital." By the way, getting rid of King Jin can also tie the knot between King Jin and King Qi.Thinking of this, Li Jinchen gave a smug smile.The rope is being tightened just waiting for the prey to fall into the trap.
As soon as King Chu left, Cen Jingsheng reported to King Jin what King Chu had said.
"Just because she still wants to share a share with me? Shameless. Don't give her a penny." Li Jinxiang said, patting the table.
"Then, will King Chu..."
Li Jinxiang understood what Cen Jingsheng meant, "Then do it carefully, so that it won't show up in the accounts. Try not to do it in the imperial capital, and you can consider doing it when you go out."
"Your Highness is more thoughtful." Cen Jingsheng complimented.
Chen Siyu and himself had all the things ready to go out, and Situ Qing was at leisure, thinking that he hadn't had a good time since returning to the imperial capital.In the frontier fortress, there are no good restaurants or good-looking theaters, and they will leave in a few days, so Situ Yu took Cuiwei, his entourage and maid, to wander around.
"Miss, I heard that a new theater troupe has come to the theater recently, and the new play is really good. Why don't we go and see it?" Cuiwei suggested.
"I see, you don't want to watch a play, you want to see the little boys in the troupe!" Situ Qing teased Cuiwei to blush. "Okay, okay, I'm not teasing you. Let's go to the theater to have some tea and watch a play, and then go to the restaurant."
Cuiwei jumped up and down happily.
In order to facilitate travel, Situ Qing's master and servants all wore men's clothes.In the theater building, the master and the servant picked up a private room.
On today's theater stage, men and women raised their water sleeves lightly, put them together to catch the eyes of the spectators, and sang tear-jerking lines.After one song, the audience in the audience applauded again and again.
"The wall immediately looked at each other from a distance, and the moment I saw the king, I was heartbroken... One day of kindness to the king, and a hundred years of concubine's life." A sigh came from the private room next door.
Followed by a woman's soft voice, "My lord, why have you bothered me? Don't watch this show."
"You are the one who wants to watch the show, and you are the one who doesn't watch it. If you don't watch a good show, what are you doing staring at me? Do you like me?" the man joked, and then snapped, "You can't like me ..."
"You can't like her, she already has a master!" Situ Qing pushed open the door of the private room, and saw Li Jinchen hooking Qinniang's chin.
The tea in Li Jinchen's mouth almost spewed out, but he swallowed it forcefully, and then coughed.Qin Niang's hand that wanted to caress her back was blocked by Mu Xin who stood beside Li Jinchen, and Mu Xin gently followed Li Jinchen's back.Li Jinchen waved his hand, Mu Xin stopped and stood aside, like a marionette.
"Yo, lady. What a coincidence." Li Jinchen was just trying to get a headache, and she didn't know why she just liked to see Situ Qing's expression that looked at you and couldn't kill you.
"Qin Niang has met General Situ." Qin Niang got up and said goodbye.
Deng Tuzi, a dandy, Situ Qing slandered, but there was a smile on his face, "Qin Niang also likes to watch operas?"
"On weekdays, I stay in the music workshop, and I don't have a chance to go out for a stroll. Apart from Qin Niang's prostitution, the emperor also happens to be free today. Hearing that the emperor has come to the opera troupe, he came out to join in the fun. I didn't think about it. I met the general. What a coincidence. The general also loves to go to theaters.”
"No, I'm here to see the little white face." Situ Qing pointed his chin towards the stage, "There are all white face young men and pretty ladies."
"Hehe, a lady wearing men's clothing is more masculine than her husband." Li Jinchen licked her lips deliberately, "It would be better to see them as your husband, whose face is as white as snow and whose voice is like a hundred spirits." What she said was true, Situ Qing listened It's really shameless for a man to say that about himself.
"Don't call me the general's wife from now on, the general didn't agree to marry you." Situ Qing turned and left, Cuiwei also snorted at Li Jinchen.
Li Jinchen put away his joking expression, and said to Qinniang: "You watch the show first, and when you're done, someone will take you back." After speaking, he left with Mu Xin.
Qin Niang's eyes dimmed.I didn't care to watch the play off the stage.
