Seeing that Zhao Chen was eating happily, Chen Guangren finally knew that his worries were unnecessary. At the same time, he had a better impression of Zhao Chen, so he kept asking Zhao Chen to eat more.

Zhao Chen also did as he wished, chatting with them about interesting things in Fucheng while eating, and ate a lot.

After dinner, it was dark early.

Zhao Chen didn't want to stay for long, so he got up and said goodbye.

Carrying the lantern given by Chen Guangren to Li Wu's house, he entered the space.

In the space, Chen Jiu also came in.

Today Zhao Chen's words made Chen Jiu's heart ache. Even though they were eating together just now, he still wanted to see this person, and seeing him made him feel at ease.

Looking at the little guy's dependent and infatuated eyes on him, Zhao Chen felt as if he was being tickled by a soft hand, and his heart couldn't stop moving.

Go up and pick him up and go straight upstairs.

Chen Jiu was startled, and quickly put his arms around his neck, blushing and struggling: "You, you let me down, if Fu'er Xiaowu saw it, it would be bad!"

"You have to get used to it." Zhao Chen bowed his head and kissed him, then carried him upstairs.

"How can I get used to this kind of thing!" Chen Jiu was a little helpless, but sweet.

Zhao Chen meant that they would all be like this in the future, right?

"If you're not used to it, you have to get used to it. If I want to hug Xiaojiu, I have to let them go, right?" Zhao Chen sighed, "Then it's too miserable for me—hey, are you here?"

The last sentence was addressed to Chen Fu and Li Wu who came out of the practice room on the second floor when they heard the movement.

Chen Fu & Li Wu: ...

Zhao Chen is the owner of the space, how can they hide it from him when they come in?

Did this person tell them on purpose?

Chen Fu snorted and didn't want to talk to this person for the time being.

Li Wuze smiled and said: "Brother Zhao, Brother Xiao Jiu, you continue."

After speaking, he dragged Chen Fu back to the practice room, and closed the door smoothly.

Seeing that Chen Fu's expression was not good, he persuaded him: "Don't worry, Xiao Fu'er, they will get married on the ninth day of next month, even if that's the case... Brother Xiaojiu won't suffer."

"Hmph, why don't you suffer? What if something happens in the middle?" Chen Fu said dissatisfied.

"Where will there be any changes, with Brother Zhao's ability, even if there is a change, it will be beneficial." Li Wu patted him on the shoulder lightly to comfort him, "And see how nervous Brother Zhao is to Brother Xiaojiu, It’s not like they haven’t happened yet, just a hug.”

Chen Fu was silent.

Li Wu's words were not unreasonable, but he still felt bad.

It's just that he himself is not very righteous, after all, he has been lying in the same bed with Li Wu for so many years.

Forget it, Xiao Wu is right, they are going to get married, so why bother with so much.

Outside, Chen Jiu looked at the closed practice room on the second floor, and shoved Zhao Chen angrily, "Let me down, it's not good."

"There's nothing wrong with it. Didn't Fu'er and Xiaowu say nothing when they saw it?" Zhao Chen spoke nonsensically, and carried him directly to the room on the third floor, put him on the bed, and pressed his body down.

Soon, Chen Jiu didn't have the heart to think about anything else.

The affairs of Shuilian Village were arranged, and Zhao Chen went to Moshui County the next day.

He didn't go to Qingjiu Gourmet Store, but to Shen's Mansion.

Shen Wenqing and Qin Mian will get married tomorrow, so it is naturally impossible to be in Renxintang today.

I handed over the invitation to the Shen residence, and soon someone went in to report.

Soon, Shen Wenqing came to the door in person, and when she saw Zhao Chen, she joked, "Hey, the busy man is finally back. Seeing that your trip to the prefecture has taken so long, I'm afraid you've forgotten the date."

"Wen Qing's happy event, Zhao Chen naturally dare not forget." Zhao Chen smiled, "How about it, do you need my help? Just ask, don't be polite to me."

Shen Wenqing really needs his help with something, and this busyness is within his expectation.

As the best man, he is responsible for accompanying the groom's official to pick up the bride, and specially helps the groom's official hold the wine at the banquet.

Zhao Chen also sincerely regarded Shen Wenqing as a friend, of course he would not refuse this matter, he readily agreed and stayed in Shen's residence that day.

Before dawn the next day, Zhao Chen came out of the space, changed into the best man uniform prepared by Shen's mansion, and went to find Shen Wenqing.

Shen Wenqing got up earlier than him, and her eyes were a little dark. It was obvious that she didn't sleep much last night, but she was in good spirits.

It seems very excited.

Zhao Chen joked a few words, but Shen Wenqing didn't refute, instead he laughed a few times.

Looking at his stupid look, Zhao Chen couldn't help shaking his head, and couldn't help but think of the day he and Xiao Jiu got married.

Probably, not much better than Shen Wenqing, right?

The Shen family has a great career, and Qin Mian is not a simple person, so this wedding was very grand.

Many people originally thought that Qin Mian was not good enough for Shen Wenqing, but when they saw that the young sons of the Shangshu family of the household department came to act as Qin Mian's natal family, they realized that Qin Mian's backing was much bigger than they imagined.

At the moment, some people with ulterior motives have to rest their minds.

Not to mention Qin Mian's jealous and violent temperament, let's just talk about this natal family who came out of nowhere.

That's the Minister of the Household Department, what an official the Minister of the Household Department must be!

If it made Qin Mian unhappy, let alone please Shen Jiafei and Huang Tengda, even the little family fortune he had now would not be guaranteed.

When Zhao Chen accompanied Shen Wenqing to toast the guests, Chen Jiu also watched in the space out of curiosity.

At first he was just watching the excitement, but when Shen Wenqing toasted a man named Zheng Mao halfway, he was taken aback, and quickly said to Zhao Chen, "Zhao Chen, that Zheng Mao walked with Chen Ling last time." people!"

Zhao Chen slightly paused the hand holding the wine glass.

Surname Zheng?

He looked at Zheng Mao calmly, and soon found that there was a red carp embroidered on the cuff of his clothes, but he was wearing a dark red narrow-sleeved robe today, which didn't look too obvious.

Sure enough, they are from the Zheng family in Jiangning Prefecture.

What is this person doing in Moshui County?

Was it a coincidence or intentional to hook up with Chen Ling?

Seeing that Zhao Chen looked at Zheng Mao a few more times, Shen Wenqing leaned into his ear and said, "Do you know this person?"

"No." Zhao Chen withdrew his gaze, "I saw him and Chen Ling walking together on the street last time, behaving intimately, so I just took a second look."

"The second son of Zheng Danfeng, the city guard general of the Jiangning Mansion, he is bohemian by nature and loves to hook up with people with thin waists." A trace of disgust flashed in Shen Wenqing's eyes, and he reminded in a low voice, "Zhao Chen, this person is not kind, so don't look too much, otherwise If he gets into trouble, our Shen family in Moshui County can speak up and won't let him cause trouble here, but if they want to get in trouble in other places, it won't be easy for us to take action."

"Yes, I understand." Zhao Chen nodded.

Now is not a good time to talk, so the two didn't say much, and went to entertain other guests soon.

After the banquet, Shen Wenqing had time to talk to Zhao Chen in detail.

"The Zheng family has not been peaceful these years, and Zheng Mao came here this time with no good intentions. It is said that he is looking for some jade pendant."

Speaking of this, Shen Wenqing frowned, "The Zheng family is not a good person, and they must be responsible for the Sun family's accident this time, but I don't know who the backer in the capital is. Anyway, since that Chen Ling hooked up with him Now, maybe he will be persuaded to take revenge on you, you have to be careful, and tell me in time if you have something, Zheng Mao is a bad character, but if he spoils someone, he will put his mind to it."

When Zhao Chen heard that Zheng Mao was looking for Yupei, his heart skipped a beat.

He guessed that something in the Sun family was missed, but he never thought it was jade pendant.

Are there other jade pendants besides Xiao Jiu's?

He frowned, but he couldn't tell Shen Wenqing these secrets, so he nodded solemnly, and then smiled: "Okay, I understand, you can do your work, I won't make trouble in this bridal chamber."

"Good brother!" Shen Wenqing smiled and put his fist on his shoulder.

Someone sent Zhao Chen out, and he rushed back to the bridal chamber immediately.

After Zhao Chen left Shen's house, he asked the system about the jade pendant in his mind.

After the system collected the money, it replied: "In order to protect the jade pendant in the hands of the little host, the grandfather of the little host specially made fifty jade pendants and distributed them to the confidantes of the Yun family in various places. It is rumored that all fifty jade pendants have been collected." It can be merged into a map, a map leading to the treasure."

"In fact, these jade pendants do have this effect. The jade pendant in the hands of the little host hides a whole map. It was originally a secret, a secret known only to the core members of the Yun family, but then a traitor appeared in the Yun family. , this secret was known by Zheng Shanfeng."

"Now they are grabbing with both hands, not only looking for the other fifty jade pendants, but also looking for the jade pendant in the hands of the little host."

Fifty jade pendants.

This old man Yun is really ruthless, it's like looking for a needle in a haystack, when will he find it?

But it's nice to give them more time to make arrangements.

The system also prompted: "Host father, there are people from them in every seaport now. If you want to go out to sea to hunt for treasure, you'd better pay attention to safety, and don't let them find out."

Zhao Chen narrowed his eyes. Does this mean that they already know that the treasure is overseas?

"How many jade pendants do they have now?" Zhao Chen asked.

The system said: "Thirty, more than half, the host father has to work hard to get the treasure back, but don't worry too much, after all, they have been looking for more than 20 years to find [-]."

Zhao Chen did not let down his vigilance because of this, because he has been searching for more than 20 years, and he should be able to find some of those clues, and it is uncertain when they will be found.

Mrs. Sun's father, the head of the Xue family, was actually a confidant of the Yun family. When the head of the Xue family had an accident, it was said that the jade pendant was given to Mrs. Sun as a dowry, but no one could be sure that Mrs. Sun really had the jade pendant.

What those people are doing now is not to drive Mrs. Sun out of the Sun family, but to get Mrs. Sun's dowry over, to see if there is any jade pendant, and to eat the property of the Sun family over the years.

The appetite is really big enough.

Zhao Chen sneered, and then sent a voice transmission to Chen Jiu to explain the situation to Chen Jiu.

Chen Jiu was puzzled, "Those people want to know if Mrs. Sun has a jade pendant, just threaten her directly, why bother?"

"That's what makes them greedy."

Zhao Chen naturally asked the system about such a question, and now he told Chen Jiu the answer given by the system, "They are not sure whether Mrs. Sun has a jade pendant on her body. Seeing that Mrs. Sun has the ability to make money, they want to let Sun Madam will work for them for a few more years. Even if there is no jade pendant, it will not be in vain if they eat the property of the Sun family. Moreover, they don't want Madam Sun to find out and destroy the jade pendant directly. , because it has happened before.”
