The Royal Merchant of the Red Chamber

Tu Zhen paced in with a cold face.After scanning the room, intentionally or unintentionally, he glanced at Yun'er in revealing clothes.

Yun'er only felt a sudden burst of murderous intent in Tu Zhen's eyes.Immediately shrunk and lowered his head, subconsciously hugged the pipa tightly in his hand, hiding aside without even daring to speak.

Feng Ziying and the others looked at each other in blank dismay. They had low positions or low status, so naturally they had never met the Holy Majesty.It's just that at the celebration banquet when the class teacher returned to the court, Feng Ziying knocked once from a distance, but he didn't see Tu Zhen's appearance clearly.At this moment, I just feel that Tu Zhen's figure looks familiar.He is a dandy who is used to being in Beijing, so he naturally knows how many people in Beijing he can't mess with.Immediately stood up calmly and smiled: "I am Feng Ziying from General Shenwu's Mansion. I don't know the names of the three brothers, what's the use of coming here?"

One sentence named his identity, so that the other party knew that he and others were not ordinary people without background.In addition, it also faintly tests the attitude of the other party.If you can successfully figure out the origin of the other party, you can find a way to deal with it yourself.

Unexpectedly, Tu Zhen walked up to Xue Pan with his hands behind his back without even looking at Feng Ziying.After looking up and down, he said in a cold voice: "So many things have not been done well, and you actually came out to drink flower wine?"

Xue Pan rubbed his nose and laughed twice, there is a difference between monarchs and ministers, no matter how courageous Xue Pan is, he would not condescend to Tu Zhen.Immediately, he lowered his head and fell to the ground. Because of his anxiety, he staggered a little unsteadily for a while, and Tu Zhen quickly grabbed Xue Pan's arm.

Seeing Xue Pan's distress, Tu Zhen frowned.He pulled out the silk handkerchief in Xue Pan's hand and threw it on the ground, and then reached out to pick off the plum blossoms from Xue Pan's head, then slightly softened his expression and reprimanded: "I really don't know what it means."

Xue Pan was scolded indiscriminately by Tu Zhen in the public, especially when he saw Tu Huang's gloating expression behind him, he pursed his lips in embarrassment.Pulling his arm out of Tu Zhen's hand, he stood aside and bowed his head in silence.

Seeing this, Tu Zhen realized something.Turning back and glaring at Tu Huang, he turned his head and said, "How old are you, what are you doing in this kind of place? You are a filthy hider. If your father finds out, be careful with your skin."

This is an explanation in disguise.

Xue Pan looked up at the uneasiness that flashed in Tu Zhen's eyes, and said with a chuckle, "I came here to do business."

"What business can there be?" Tu Zhen shook his head helplessly.

Xue Pan smiled and told Tu Zhen about the casting of "A Chinese Ghost Story".At the end, looking at Feng Ziying and others who were bewildered, they introduced with a smile: "This is the fourth master, and the fifth and sixth masters over there, I recognize them from the beginning. When you hear me singing, come and have a look."

Except for Jia Baoyu, all of you here are veterans who are used to acting on every occasion.Hearing Xue Pan's yelling these few times, he naturally tasted an unusual meaning.

Due to Yun'er's status, although she guessed that these three people were of high status, and probably related to the emperor's relatives, she didn't really know who these three people were.

But Feng Ziying and others vaguely guessed the unfinished meaning of Xue Pan's words.His expression suddenly became respectful and serious.Although Jia Baoyu was ignorant, but with Xue Pan's current status and status, someone who treated him with such respect must have a lot of background.What's more, Tu Zhentian, the watch of the birthday and the moon, is majestic and majestic without anger.Tu Bian and Tu Huang are both distinguished and dignified.Jia Baoyu didn't dare to be presumptuous for a while, and stayed silent.

After everyone met (accurately, after Feng Ziying and others unilaterally saluted Tu Zhen and the others), Tu Zhen and Tu Chou took the first seat and the guest of honor one after another under Xue Pan's concession.Looking up at a row of Xue Pan and the others standing with their hands tied, his frowns were slightly relaxed, and he said, "Sit down, too!"

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pulled Xue Pan to sit beside him.Touching Xue Pan's cold fingertips, he frowned and said, "Why is it so cold?"

On the one hand, he naturally held Xue Pan's hands in his palms.Everyone took a look and felt that Xue Pan was indeed a great favor, and immediately turned their faces away as if they hadn't seen him, only Jia Baoyu glanced suspiciously again and again.

Looking at his nonchalant behavior, Tu Teng and Tu Huang looked at each other and smiled.The descendants of the four princes and eight princes are now passing through generations, needless to say that they are clumsy and clumsy, and even more arrogant and domineering, causing trouble for the people.If this continues, I am afraid that the royal family will not need to worry too much, they will kill themselves first.

Tu Zhen had also heard about Rongguo Mansion, a phoenix egg that caused a lot of commotion in the city because of the title of jade, so he couldn't help but look at it a few more times.I just feel that apart from describing it as the same as Baoyu of the Zhen family, his talent and knowledge, and his conduct in the world are really far behind by more than a star.Especially the powdery aura on Jia Baoyu's expression made Tu Zhen frowned unconsciously.

Seeing this, Xue Pan calmly interrupted, "I don't know how the fourth masters came here?"

As soon as the words came out, Xue Pan wanted to bite off his tongue.How can I ask about the whereabouts of the Tian family.What's more, there are traces of old people and old people in it, so it must not be ordinary drinking.

Tu Zhen sighed secretly, but said calmly, "I'm listening to you singing."

Seeing Tu Zhen's expressionless face, Xue Pan suddenly felt that Kui was terrified.

Because of someone's thousand-year-old cold system, the lively banquet suddenly became extremely cold.Everyone was cautious, like walking on thin ice, and their words were respectful, for fear that they would offend the nobles and cause disaster if they said something wrong.Xue Pan felt uncomfortable, and was naturally happy to come out to play, but it turned out like this—— Xue Pan had no choice but to send everyone away with a sigh.Finally, he said to Yun'er and Jiang Yuhan who were looking forward to it: "If you are free tomorrow, come to my house to try on makeup!"

The two nodded cheerfully.Xue Pan pulled Tu Zhen out of Jinxiang Courtyard with an unhappy face, followed by Tu Huang and Tu Teng as if they were watching a play.

The application time has passed, and the afterglow of the setting sun is shining everywhere, covering the desolate and solemn streets with a light golden layer.All the shops in the streets and alleys are open for business, and the small vendors who are usually seen are also walking around the streets with their burdens.There are endless shouts in my ears.

Xue Pan and the others dangled in this busy and noisy street with their hands behind their backs, surrounded by crowds of people standing shoulder to shoulder, and occasionally they could hear the sound of clothes rubbing against each other as they passed by.It's so real, it gives me a sense of peace and joy.

Along the way, Tu Zhen and the others did not speak.Xue Pan was originally unable to bear loneliness and depression, but at this moment he blended into the hustle and bustle of the market, and he was engrossed in it for a while, but he didn't care anymore.

Passing by a small stall selling sugar-fried chestnuts, Xue Pan took out two pennies from his purse and handed it to the old man, smiling, and said, "Give me a bag of chestnuts."

The old man took the money with a smile and wrapped a bag for Xue Pan casually.The chestnuts are freshly fried, and there is a warm feeling in the hand.The rich aroma passed through the cold air, and Xue Pan took a satisfied breath.Then he took out a chestnut and peeled it. Just as he was about to put it in his mouth, he glanced at Tu Zhen, who was silently looking at him, and smiled, and put the chestnut into Tu Zhen's mouth.

The green chestnut flesh is sandwiched between two slender and fair fingers, exuding a faint scent of fragrance.Reflected by the afterglow of the setting sun, there is a different kind of tranquility, faintly revealing an indescribable charm.

Tu Zhending took a look at Xue Pan, pursed his lips and frowned at the chestnut for a long while, until Xue Pan became a little impatient, then slightly lowered his head and swallowed the chestnut.The tip of the tongue seemed to carelessly brush Xue Pan's fingertips.Xue Pan shrank his hands subconsciously, lowered his head and carefully peeled the chestnuts.

Tu Huang was excited to see it, and even joined in the fun and bought a pack, and lowered his head to peel it for Tu Bian to eat.

Xue Pan gave Tu Huang a funny look, and was about to put the peeled chestnuts into his mouth when suddenly Tu Zhen grabbed his arm, lowered his head and swallowed the chestnuts again.

Xue Pan looked at Tu Zhen helplessly, and Tu Zhen looked back expressionlessly.Unexpectedly, he reached into the oiled paper bag and picked up a chestnut, lowered his head and peeled it, and brought it to Xue Pan's lips.

Xue Pan was a little stunned, and the two brothers at the side also found it incredible. They stopped feeding each other and looked at Tu Zhen silently.

Tu Zhen's eyes flickered for a while, and suddenly he felt that his actions were abrupt and eye-catching. He frowned a little dissatisfied, and wanted to retract his arms.He just glanced at Xue Pan's pink and moist lips, and hesitated again.

With such a stalemate, the atmosphere became more inexplicable and abrupt.Xue Pan sighed softly in his heart, lowered his head and swallowed the chestnuts into his mouth.Because the time in the air was too long, the chestnuts were already cold, but the strong aroma did not dissipate.On the contrary, it became more and more profound and distant.

Xue Pan scratched his head in a daze, and casually handed the chestnuts to the elder brother guard.

After being silent for a while, it was Tu Zhen who couldn't help but spoke first and said, "Don't go to that kind of place in the future."

Xue Pan nodded obediently, but disapproved in his heart.It's just that he doesn't want to discuss this with Tu Zhen face to face.

Tu Zhen saw it in his eyes and shook his head slightly.He knew Xue Pan's bad habits, but he didn't take it to heart.Just thinking about the coquettish young lady and the alluring actor I saw today, I can't help but feel tired, secretly planning how to get away from Pan'er and those untouchables, etc. without going into details.

The two of them had their own concerns, but they both calmed down again.

Tu Huang and Tu Jue followed for a long time but didn't see a trick, so they couldn't help but feel disappointed.At that moment, they bowed their hands and left separately.Before leaving, Tu Huang deliberately asked in front of Tu Zhen: "You have to deal with the matter of the barbarian captives urgently."

He urged like this, in addition to being extremely boring, he was even more curious about Xue Pan's method of turning stones into gold.I don't understand what kind of gold mountain Xue Pan can find in a group of captives.Before, he could be patient for the sake of face, but now that the fifth brother has surrendered, everyone is considered his own, so he doesn't mind suppressing his curiosity.

Seeing Tu Huang's anxious look, Xue Pan couldn't laugh or cry, and said, "The emperor's birthday will be soon, and I still have to prepare for the musical!"

When Tu Huang heard this, he frowned impatiently, his nose was not his nose, his face was not his face, and he muttered, "Looking for trouble."

Before Xue Pan could speak, Tu Zhen frowned and said indifferently: "The matter of the song and dance drama is very involved, and there is no room for loss. However, the matter of the barbarians is also of great importance, and the King of Nan'an also wants to dig out the prisoners from these captives. The reason for the sharpness of Western artillery. In the past two days, I have brought many officials from the Ministry of Industry to contact the prisoners! You can help each other a little bit in the past."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone looked at Tu Zhen with burning eyes.

Tu Zhen said calmly: "If it's nothing serious, you can go to Honglu Temple with Pan'er tomorrow!"

Tu Huang responded with a smile.

Xue Pan pouted, but did not refute.

The two princes in this room turned around and left, and Tu Zhen silently escorted Xue Pan back to Zhongxin Hou's mansion.Xue Pan laughed softly: "Do you want to go in and have a sit, Fourth Master?"

Tu Zhen shook his head and explained: "There are still many documents in the palace that have not been approved."

That is not to go in.

Xue Pan nodded clearly, and after bidding farewell to Tu Zhen, Shi Shi ran into Zhongxinhou's Mansion.

Tu Zhen stood at the door with his hands behind his back, watching Xue Pan enter the door before turning and leaving.The dark guard who had been guarding not far away hurriedly led the carriage over.After boarding the carriage back to the palace, Tu Zhen took out a plum blossom from his cuff expressionlessly, and gently slid the bright red petals with his white fingertips, feeling silky and smooth.Tu Zhen thought of Xue Pan's embarrassment before, and a smile flashed in his eyes.

Looking at the half-pack of chestnuts on the small table again, Tu Zhen frowned, picked up one and peeled it into his mouth.I don't know if it's because it's cold or something else, but I always feel that it's not as delicious as Pan'er fed it before.Tu Zhen grabbed the chestnuts without regret and threw them out of the window.With cold eyes, he watched the bag of chestnuts draw a graceful arc in the air and then fell into the snow.A few chestnuts just rolled out of the package and scattered, showing a darker color against the white snow.It was dry and not at all as fragrant and attractive as when it was in Pan'er's hands.

The carriage continued to move forward, but the abandoned chestnut was no longer seen in a few breaths.Tu Zhen put down the curtain by the window, leaned on the back of the carriage and remained silent.

After a while, a vague sigh overflowed from his mouth——
