Mixed in Datang to be a son-in-law

He said lightly: "Prince Zhou, I came here this time because I was entrusted by the King of Wei, and I would like to ask you to do me a favor."

Zhou Jinyan and Cheng Chumo looked at each other and asked, "Tell me, what's the matter, I need to help."

Why do you say this so embarrassingly?

Li Mubai took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice, "That's right, the King of Wei wants to invite you to be his deputy, and you will be in charge of receiving foreign envoys together."

Cheng Chumo's heart skipped a beat, and he looked at Zhou Jinyan eagerly.

Zhou Jinyan said expressionlessly: "Why, Your Majesty has already handed over the reception of foreign envoys to King Wei?"

"It's none other than King Wei!"

Li Mubai proudly said: "But the king of Wei cherishes his talents, he said that you are eloquent, and it will be of great use if you receive foreign envoys, so he specially asked me to invite you."

Zhou Jinyan shook his head, knowing that Li Shimin entrusted this task to Li Tai, it was actually not too much.

But if he wants to work with Li Tai, he is absolutely unwilling.

Who knows what he might get into.

"I'm afraid there are some things that I can't go to." Zhou Jinyan said, "Well, how about I recommend someone to you?"

"Who?"

Li Mubai didn't expect him to refuse, and asked subconsciously.

"He, the son of Duke Lu's family, Cheng Chumo."

Cheng Chumo's face was reddish, he stood up in a stuttering manner, and touched his nose.

Zhou Jinyan rolled his eyes straight away, give me some strength, how can others see this appearance.

Li Mubai glanced at Cheng Chumo, and nodded slightly.

Then he said, "So, are you sure you don't want to go?"

This time the king of Wei asked him to come and invite him, but he was not very willing, but the king of Wei said that he must be invited.

Li Mubai had no choice but to bite the bullet, he was actually very happy to see the current situation.

Anyway, when I go back later, I say that Zhou Jinyan disagrees.

Zhou Jinyan shook his head, "If you can speak eloquently, Brother Cheng can just go, I don't have that need to go, and besides, I'm not familiar with it, and I don't really want to go."

Li Mubai heaved a sigh of relief, nodded, and faced Cheng Chumo.

"Cheng Erlang, please?"

Cheng Chumo was startled, "Where are you going?"

Li Mubai said: "Go back to the mansion with me, King Wei must be very happy to have someone like you join us."

Cheng Chumo was overjoyed, but suddenly remembered something.

He couldn't help turning his head to look at Zhou Jinyan.

"Go ahead, you know what you should do and what you shouldn't do."

Zhou Jinyan patted him on the shoulder, "It's good if you can complete the task your wife gave you."

Cheng Chumo grinned, nodded at him, and went with Li Mubai.

Watching the two leave, Zhou Jinyan twitched his lips, "Receiving foreign friends, I thought it was such a big deal, and the city was so stormy, what did you think..."

For this matter, he is not interested at all.

........

Li Mubai took Cheng Chumo and rushed to Wei Wangfu in a hurry.

"Cheng Erlang, please!"

Although Li Mubai looked down on Cheng Chumo, he did not dare to offend him, after all his father was a real Duke.

Even if he doesn't do anything, he will be better than him in the future, there is no doubt about it.

"you are welcome."

Chapter 718 Rejection

Cheng Chu and Li Mubai walked forward silently.

I felt somewhat uneasy, if Wei Wang presides over it, if he is not used, there is really no way out.

At this time, Li Tai was watching a song and dance with a beautiful woman in purple and light veil in a hall.

The two talked about something from time to time.

"Wei Wang, Li Langjun is back."

Li Tai's eyes lit up, and he couldn't wait to ask, "Can Zhou Jinyan come along?"

"That's not true. He and Li Langjun are here. It's Cheng Erlang."

"Cheng Chumo?" Li Tai frowned and said, "What is he here for?"

"Wei Wang might as well let them enter the house and ask."

Li Tai nodded, "Show them in."

The singing and dancing continued, Li Tai did not stop the dancers.

After taking a sip of wine, he looked at the woman in purple not far away, "

"Xiaoyu, do you think Zhou Jinyan will agree to my invitation?"

The beautiful woman in front of her is none other than Huo Xiaoyu, the famous No. [-] courtesan in Chang'an.

Huo Xiaoyu rolled her eyes and said with a smile: "If there are no accidents, no one will refuse the kindness of being king."

King Wei felt relieved, yes, who can refuse his kindness?

This is a rare opportunity, and he will give face to whomever he likes.

After Zhou Jinyan rejected his invitation that day, he didn't pay much attention to it, but if he refused this time, he would really draw a line with him.

"Humble job, I have met King Wei."

"Hello, King Wei."

Cheng Chumo and Li Mubai entered the room and hurriedly saluted.

It was too noisy in the hall, Li Tai waved his hand, and all the dancers retreated in a clamor.

"Chu Mo, long time no see, why are you here?"

Li Tai hurriedly got up and called Cheng Chumo to sit down.

Cheng Chumo was flattered, postponed it, and sat down beside him.

Li Tai asked again, making Cheng Chumo's question extremely embarrassing.

After thinking for a while, he pointed to Li Mubai who was still standing on one side and said, "King Wei, it's better to have Zhuangyuan Lang say this matter, but I'm too shy to talk about Chu Mo. Hehe."

Li Tai was taken aback for a moment, then glanced at Li Mubai.

"Back to the King of Wei, this time I went to look for Prince Consort Zhou, Prince Consort Zhou politely rejected King Wei's offer, but recommended Cheng Erlang to King Wei."

"boom!"

Li Tai slapped his palm on the table, "Bastard, didn't I tell you to invite him here?"

Li Mubai broke out in a cold sweat, "Wei Wang, it's up to me. It was Zhou's son-in-law who didn't want to come, saying he wasn't interested in it."

Cheng Chumo was also very embarrassed at this time, and moved his body unnaturally.

Li Tai snorted coldly and glared at Li Mubai.

Then he turned his gaze to Cheng Chumo.

"Chu Mo, I think you know the importance of receiving foreign envoys this time, right?"

Cheng Chu nodded silently, "I know."

"Well, then I will give you a good position, let you have a good time, and get a good credit."

Cheng Chumo didn't expect it to be so simple, and he was overjoyed. Just as he was about to thank him, who knew that Wei Wang's voice suddenly changed.

"But I have one condition."

Cheng Chu said anxiously: "Your Majesty, please tell me."

"You go and ask Zhou Jinyan to come too, let's work together."

Cheng Chumo's fiery heart suddenly cooled down, and he frowned and said, "I understand, I'm afraid I can't do anything about what he doesn't want to do."

King Wei spread his hands, "Receiving foreign envoys is no small matter. I can rest assured that he is here. If he doesn't come, then I..."

A troubled expression appeared on his face.

Cheng Chumo was furious, but he didn't dare to attack.

"So, King Wei is willing to arrange a position for me only if I can call Jinyan together?"

Li Tai took a cup of tea and drank it, the meaning was self-evident.

"Farewell!"

Cheng Chumo is not a temperless person, so if he was asked to embarrass Zhou Jinyan, he would not want to.

"Hey, Chu Mo, what are you doing?" Li Tai hurriedly got up, pretending to be puzzled.

It didn't take long for Cheng Chumo to quicken his pace, and he left Wei Wang's mansion.

Looking at Cheng Chumo's back, Li Tai snorted coldly: "If you don't want to pay anything, you come here to ask for a position. It's wishful thinking."

Huo Xiaoyu said softly: "I think it's okay to give him a position and make friends."

Li Tai waved his hand, "Cheng Chumo and the sons of the Duke of the State are all with Zhou Jinyan. Even if I give him the position this time, he will only be grateful to Zhou Jinyan, not me. Why give it to him?" .”

Huo Xiaoyu heard the words, so she stopped talking.

"Retell Zhou Jinyan's words to me completely."

Sending Cheng Chumo away, Li Tai said casually.

Li Mubai hastily repeated Zhou Jinyan's words completely.

"Just not interested?"

Li Tai pondered: "Why, do you have to let me go there?"

Li Mubai was surprised and said: "King Wei, what status are you, to invite him in person, wouldn't you be surrendering your status?"

Li Tai waved his hand and said, "You don't understand. I haven't won the position of Shaoqing of Honghe Temple. I looked at Chang'an, and Zhou Jinyan might compete with me. That's why I wanted to invite him to the end. Do things, so that after the emperor finds out, the position of Shaoqing must belong to me."

Li Mubai sighed in admiration: "Wei Wang is wise."

Li Tai knocked on the table and said with a sinister smile: "And I drove Cheng Chumo away, he must go back to find Zhou Jinyan."

Huo Xiaoyu was puzzled, "What does King Wei mean?"

"Based on what I know about Cheng Chumo, this person has never been very interested in these things. I'm afraid his family members will let him fight for them this time."

After a pause, he proudly said: "Now he's begging Zhou Jinyan, Zhou Jinyan has nothing to do at the moment, I just need to invite him personally, in order to help Cheng Chumo, can he come or not?"

Li Mubai and Huo Xiaoyu looked at each other, but they didn't speak in silence.

Li Tai snorted and said, "Besides, if you still don't agree, isn't this a good way to drive a wedge between them?"

Huo Xiaoyu said softly: "But just now Cheng Chumo seemed very angry with King Wei..."

"In the face of sufficient interests and sincerity, what is the current anger?"

Li Tai picked up the teacup and drank it in one gulp, eyes full of disdain.

The words are divided into two parts.

Here, Cheng Chu returned to Pingkang Fang silently.

"what happened?"
