Drunk King and Minister

When Chen Baxian came in, he was overjoyed when he saw Chen Chang's face, and then sank again.

"I don't know how to come back!"

Chen Chang bowed his head and saluted, "My son is wrong."

Chen Ba was taken aback for a moment.He has taught this kid thousands of times, when did this kid show such a sincere attitude? !Could it be that the sun came out from the west! !

"Uncle." Chen Qian bowed and saluted respectfully, "Is uncle in good health?"

Chen Ba took a step forward to help Chen Qian, a trace of hesitation flashed in his eyes.

"Nephew Lao Xian is worried."

After the two sat down, a servant came in to pour tea.Chen Changli was there, and he also found a porcelain pier to sit on the side of the lower seat.

"Why did Jiankang come here suddenly? Didn't say a word?" Chen Baxian blew on the mist from the tea cup with his eyes half closed.

"Wu Xing has been disturbed by various things recently. He just settled everything a few days ago. He was thinking about his uncle, so he came to Jiankang on the spur of the moment. Because it was on a whim, he didn't write a letter to his uncle." Chen Qian sat upright with her eyes calm. He looked up at Chen Baxian sitting up.

Chen Baxian smiled slightly: "I also know about Wu Xing's matter. Zhang Biao, you have become more and more courageous! You have made meritorious service this time, and when I ask the emperor for an order, I must reward you according to your merit. But... ..." Chen Baxian twitched his eyes, "The strangeness of Jiang Yuan's death, the contents of the nephew's letter are really unimaginable, let's explain it carefully."

"Fleeing in battle, we will deal with it according to military law." Chen Qian parted her lips slightly, and spit out a few words.

Chen Baxian paused for a moment before he raised his voice and said, "I told you to speak carefully! Besides, how could Jiang Yuan, a loyal and heroic man, run away in battle!"

Chen Qian still looked at Chen Baxian calmly: "If you run away, you will be dealt with by military law!"

His voice was as calm as a puddle of water, with no depth at all.

Chen Baxian met Chen Qian's eyes, those eyes reminded him of Chen Qian's father, his elder brother, Chen Daotan who had passed away for many years!He suddenly felt a little terrified.

Chen Ba first stabilized his mind and narrowed his eyes.

He didn't point out what they knew each other well!Jiang Yuan is incompetent, a chess piece, and it dies when it dies.The purpose of Chen Qian's visit this time is probably not...

Sitting down, Chen Chang slightly squeezed the tassel around his waist.The atmosphere is wrong!The undercurrent between his father and his cousin made his heart pound faster.

What happened? !

He raised his eyes to observe the two of them.I saw Chen Ba first close the lid of the cup, and put it on the table with a slight sound.

"If that's the case, behead it!" Chen Baxian stood up after speaking, "Since it's about me, I accept this filial piety. You and the brothers go get together."

"Uncle!" Chen Qian also stood up, "This trip to Jiankang, my nephew Yu brought a gift to my uncle, and asked my uncle to have a look."

"Oh?" Chen Ba first turned his gaze to the servant who came in at the door.

The servants hold a red lacquer plate in their hands, and put a layer of fine red velvet satin on it. On the silk satin is a square small-leaf red sandalwood carving box. The rivers and mountains are a vivid picture of the Eight Immortals crossing the sea.

Chen Qian took the red lacquer plate and handed it to Chen Baxian in person: "This object is called summer grass winter worm. It is about three inches long and has six legs. Phlegm, relieves fatigue and cough, and also has the effect of nourishing vital energy."

Chen Baxian turned his gaze at the box and then looked away indifferently.

"This box looks pretty good." His Shangshu Mansion didn't have any precious medicinal materials, and the efficacy of this herb didn't sound like a novelty.

Chen Qian smiled slightly, but did not speak.

Chen Chang on the side couldn't sit still when he heard Chen Qian say his name. Hearing what his father said at this time, he couldn't help but stand up and shouted: "Cousin, it's just what was said in the book. A rare wonder in a world where summer is grass and winter is insects?!"

Chen Qian nodded slightly: "Exactly."

"Summer is grass, winter is worm?" Chen Ba first heard this kind of saying, became interested, and raised his eyebrows, "Let's listen carefully."

Before Chen Qian could speak in the future, Chen Chang took a step forward and said with great interest: "It is recorded in the book that this thing is grass but not grass, insects but not insects, it is in the soil in winter, it is shaped like an old silkworm, it has hair and can move In the summer, the hairs will come out of the ground, and the body will turn into grass. If you don’t take it, it will turn into insects in the winter! This thing is very rare, and I have only heard of it in books, but I don’t want to have it!”

"There is such a strange thing!" Chen Baxian let out a huff, took the red sandalwood carving box into his hand, and gently opened the lid of the box.

The moment the box lid was opened, I felt a kind of straw mushroom fragrance wafting in, mixed with a little fishy smell.I saw a dozen things of different lengths lying in the wooden box, each of which looked like a hairless caterpillar with a small tail behind it, and the tail looked like the handle of a leaf.

Chen Chang sighed a few times: "Today I actually saw such a strange thing. Cousin is really extraordinary!"

Chen Baxian also knew the rarity of this item, and ordered someone to give it away carefully.

"It's rare that you have such filial piety!" Chen Baxian looked at Chen Qian with a smile on his face, "Chang'er said that this thing is very rare, I wonder where you got it from?"

The corner of Chen Qian's mouth moved slightly, she took a step forward, put her hands on her forehead, and said respectfully: "This product is produced in the extremely cold plateau, and my nephew sent people to find it from Hualinping, Jiangyou County, Northern Qi."

"Northern Qi?" Chen Baxian raised the corners of his eyes with interest.

"Yes."

"It is produced in a place of extreme bitterness and coldness, and it is rare in quantity. It must be extremely difficult to find. Thanks to you." Chen Baxian looked at Chen Qian and nodded slightly in praise.

Chen Qian suddenly knelt down towards Chen Baxian.

"Uncle! It's not me who worked hard, but Chen Xu!"

Chen Baxian's eyes twitched, and his fingertips moved.Northern Qi, Northern Qi, Jiangyou County... That's exactly...

He looked down at the people kneeling on the ground - Fengshen was handsome and had an extraordinary bearing, unlike his sons who didn't live up to expectations, they were always self-contained and self-contained in the crowd.

He admired it before, but now it makes him fearful and flustered.

The general trend is set, such a person is a threat to him and his descendants.

Chen Qian is a general first, and his nephew second.

And Chen Xu, who is Chen Qian's biological brother and his biological nephew, is also one of Chen Qian's arms that he must get rid of first.
