Syndicate Growth Manual

The plate of chicken hearts ended up in Hu Po's mouth. Little Shitou was still a suckling child, but he was very curious.It walked crookedly to the dog's father, slumped down on its hind legs, and then persistently stretched out its pink and tender tongue to lick the dog's big mouth.

Zhao Yuan squatted beside him and asked, "Is it delicious?"

Xiao Shitou was obviously stimulated by the smell of blood, stuck out his tongue a few times, and sneezed a little.Amber is quite unfamiliar with this little thing full of milk. It has the typical masculine dogism that most dogs have, so it is very neat to change the direction of the food bowl and continue to eat.

"Amber is too bad," Zhao Yuan turned his head and complained to a certain father who was sitting on the porch, "He doesn't care about little stones at all."

Zhao Chen shook his head at him, motioning him to look again.As soon as Zhao Yuan turned his head, he saw Amber flicking her brush-like black tail while bowing her head to eat, while Xiao Shitou had calmed down from the frustrated attempt just now, and began to stretch out his soft claws with great interest, wanting to Going to reach the dog's father's tail, and making a milky barking sound from time to time.

The father and son completed the great harmony in their lives.

Zhao Yuan stroked the soft lanugo of the beagle contentedly, then stood up and walked towards Zhao Chen.His leg was not well, and he was always hesitant to walk because of the pain, but Zhao Chen quickly stretched out his strong arms and carried him to the corridor.

The maids took advantage of the afterglow of the sun before setting and were still busy with their work. Zhao Yuan listened to their chat casually, and then lay down on the wooden corridor and rolled around.Looking at him, Zhao Chen felt as if he saw a rolling puppy. It was naturally a happy thing for his puppy to stay by his side, but at the same time, the cold temperature in the ear hall of the Zhongzheng Hall seemed to remain On his skin, it made him very worried.

How should he tell Anu that his father has exchanged his life?Of course there is a reason for this, but this reason cannot be told to Anu now.

He also expected to live his life without having to tell the truth.

"Father, will Master come tomorrow?" Zhao Yuan asked, holding his chin.

Zhao Chen: "You have missed a lot of homework."

Zhao Yuan covered his eyes: "Got it, A Jue and A Cheng thought they could play for a few more days." Especially Yuan Jue, he only had such an autumn hunting once a year, but he ended up lying on the bed, which was simply unacceptable.Looking back at Zhencheng, he seemed to want to know why the Zhongjun Mansion returned to Jiangcheng ahead of schedule, but unfortunately, those in the mansion who didn't know didn't know, and those who knew would never dare to chew their tongues.He only told Zhencheng that Zhao Chen brought them back ahead of time because he fell his leg and for the sake of the three of them.

Zhao Yuan slept soundly at night, today was too tired for him, and Zhao's father returned safely, which made his heart relaxed, and he started snoring not long after he lay down.

Zhao Chen couldn't sleep all night.

The words of the monarch had a great influence on him.He stayed in Jiangcheng for so many years, far away from the battlefield, and those thrilling memories in the past seemed to be gone with him.But he really couldn't forget, even those generals who were under his command when he was just a fledgling, he could blurt out the names of everyone, because he was undefended back then, and they were all buried in that war.

He was too young at the time to bear so many lives.If Duke Cheng hadn't protected him, he might have been rejected by Zhao's army and even executed as a traitor!

But he had revenge, whether it was for himself or his dead brother.Lutuo is not the leader, but the generals in his faction are the culprits, because Zhao Chen's sudden rise has already taken away most of their military achievements, so Zhao Chen first tried to get rid of them, but for Tu Dan's design of Lutuo , he didn't interfere at all.

Fortunately, Zhao Chen has been lucky countless times in the past few years, but fortunately he did not intervene.Otherwise, one day in the future, if Anu knew that he had taken a hand in the incident of his biological father being framed, he really couldn't imagine how to explain it at that time, so that Anu would not be disappointed and resentful towards him.

Zhao Chen thought about the scene of the conversation with Cheng Gong during the day, and felt a little uncomfortable.

The monarch is no longer like when he first took the throne, now he seems to be trapped in a whirlpool called hatred, and he can't get out no matter what.He was almost overwhelmed by selfishness and rationality, forgetting that the country is the object he should protect.

The next day, eunuch Yu came to the Zhongjun Mansion.

Zhao Chen looked at the warrant in his hand and was taken aback: "Is this a secret order?"

Eunuch Yu's eyes were also full of confusion: "I often can't figure out His Majesty's thoughts nowadays... Logically speaking, since the marriage is granted, it should be publicized."

Zhao Chen looked at the warrant and fell into deep thought.

The monarch will never do it for the good of Anu... If you think this way, maybe you want to hit Anu severely in the future?After all, it is kept secret, and when there is a better wife in front of Anu in the future, he only knows that he will have to marry a concubine of foreign blood. I am afraid that the blow will be greater than when he was ignorant now.

The eunuch Yu obviously also thought of this, and couldn't help sighing: "Your Majesty regards the Lu family as a monster, and even a child who doesn't know his background is so wary, really..." He didn't dare to say the rest, his eyes were full of tears. disagree.

Zhao Chen took a few deep breaths before calming down his anger.

He decided not to tell Zhao Yuan about the secret order. After all, it was still some years before the official announcement, but he still couldn't hide it from Fan's side.Because when Zhao Yuan got bigger and bigger, even if his marriage was not up to Fan's decision, outsiders would get in touch with her first.

He walked towards Tangli Courtyard, and because he had something on his mind, he couldn't help showing some emotion on his face.It was morning at this moment, and Fan Shi might have just gotten up when he entered the yard, and several maidservants were walking back and forth with washing utensils and tableware.

"Lang Jun?!" Yingge was the first to see Zhao Chen, and almost dropped the water basin in his hand.

Immediately afterwards, Bisi and Liuxi also saw him, and several maidservants hurriedly put down their things to greet him.

"Where's your wife?" he asked.

Bisi hurriedly said: "The lady is combing her hair, can you use the morning food?"

Zhao Chen went to the corridor: "Never, I have something important to discuss with Yuniang, you set up an extra set of tableware, and then take everyone else to retreat outside the yard to guard."

"Here." Although Bisi was hesitant, this was the first time for Mr. Lang to visit his wife for a long time, and even if he didn't give orders, his family would back off and not disturb the couple.

Fan Shi was pulling her black hair into a neat single bun. She saw Zhao Chen coming in from the bronze mirror. Instead of saluting in a hurry as usual, she held the bun with one hand, and picked out the hair in the makeup box with the other hand. Picking and picking, finally took out a gold-encrusted jade hairpin and inserted it into the bun, and picked out a pair of jade earplugs to wear.

Zhao Chen sat beside Fang and waited quietly for her, with an absent-minded expression.

"Lang Jun, what's the matter?" Fan tidied up the cloak, and then leaned on her waist and came to sit next to Fang Ji.Now her stomach has obvious curvature, and her vitality has been hurt due to a series of accidents, and she often feels strenuous recently.In the past, she was always scrupulous about things, but now that she is unwell and has no expectations for the future, she is too lazy to deal with it.

Zhao Chen looked at her, slowly glanced at her stomach again, and said bluntly: "The monarch gave Anu a marriage."

Fan's first reaction was Zhao Jing.

Then she quickly realized that even if it was Zhao Jing, the man in front of her would not behave like this.She and Zhao Chen have also been husband and wife for several years, and there were times when they got along well. Although Zhao Chen is not a happy person, the people next to him always know him better than he imagined.

Zhao Chen frowned slightly, and his thin lips were drawn into a cold straight line, not to mention his clenched fist.These were signs of his extreme displeasure.

Fan Shi calmed down a bit, and gave him a chopstick of shredded chicken and bean sprouts: "It shouldn't be Wang Ji, not to mention knowing all the little ladies and concubines in Jiangcheng. Tell me which family gave it to you from the monarch?" Not to mention the large and small banquets she attended every year when she was not in the palace, even after she entered the palace, concubines, concubines, concubines, and other concubines in all palaces also came to the palace every year and festival. People, on special festivals, the inner palace will also entertain everyone's female relatives.

The two generations of women from aristocratic families who have been on the stage are nothing more than those, round and flat, she knows them all.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Chen said, "It's exactly Wang Ji, but it's not Zhao Jing, but Min Ji, born of a Nanyue tribute girl."

"Min Ji?" Fan was taken aback. "Why, how could it be Min Ji?" She had met Min Ji before. Of course, it was more than five years ago. No matter how Min Ji's dark complexion changes, it won't suddenly turn white!

She gasped and put down her chopsticks and couldn't eat anymore: "Could it be that the monarch doesn't even bother to save face? This is too deliberate. Anyone who knows will guess that Anu dislikes the monarch... Who will associate with him?"

Zhao Chen remained silent with a gloomy face.Yes, maybe this is what the king meant.The more friends Anu has made in the past few years, the more compliments he has received, the more he will lose in the future, and the more frustrated he will be. But how can those who are weaker bear this kind of blow?

It is best to hate the wife because of this, the husband and wife are divorced, and they may be addicted to beauty, concubines like clouds... There will be a bunch of sons and daughters, but there is not even a son who can inherit the family business.Even if the above assumptions don't exist, the husband and wife give birth to a legitimate son, what if he looks like a foreigner...

Fan clasped his hands, looked at him and asked: "This decree has been made? There is no room for change?"

Zhao Chen took out the warrant and showed it to her.Fan is the most familiar with the set in the palace, one can tell it is a secret order just by the color of the warrant.Like Zhao Chen, she frowned.

"I don't intend to tell Anu," he said to Fan, "Only you and I know about this, and even the servants around you must not tell them."

Fan asked him back, "Even if you keep it a secret, how long can you keep it a secret?"

Zhao Chen lowered his eyes: "As long as I can hide it, I don't want this matter to change Anu... What's more, how can things change in a few years' time?"

He stood up and looked down at her: "You also know why I told you alone, remember my words, and don't let others know."

Fan nodded solemnly: "The concubine knows the seriousness, so don't worry about it."

When Zhao Chen left, all three of Bisi entered the room cautiously, she was still distracted.

Bisi asked tentatively: "Lady, why did your husband leave without having to eat?"

Fan returned to her senses, looked at her helplessly, and said angrily: "Put your thoughts away, don't think about it! The gentleman just told me about the settlement of the harvest on the village, don't you understand my determination? Could it be that I have to rely on Zhao Chen to live my life!"

She has experienced the Taorui incident, if there is any change, it is the attitude towards Bisi and the three of them.Chuncao's betrayal made her distrust the other three girls from the bottom of her heart, and Bisi really liked to make her own way, but this time, she really saw Bisi's loyalty and love for her.Now that she has no expectations for men, she is not a surly person, so she naturally hopes to have a few caring people by her side.

But one yard counts for one yard, Zhao Chen's decision is not unreasonable.She couldn't tell Bess about it.

Maybe there will be a turning point in the future?

Fan touched her swollen belly.When she first heard Zhao Chen's words, in an instant, the evil thoughts in her heart resurfaced, and she even couldn't help gloating a little.After all, if the marriage of the eldest son of the concubine did not go well, no one would be able to compete with her children.But soon she woke up.

Compared with those who are slightly superior, her child is also surnamed Zhao, and he is a brother with Zhao Yuan. Zhao Yuan is ridiculed, and her child is not in a good position.

She sighed softly, bit by bit repressing those inappropriate thoughts.
