Chapter 950 The afternoon sun

It should be early in the afternoon when the snow stopped, but the winter day was short and the cloudy sky gradually faded.

The snow is still piled up on the roofs, on the roadside, and in all corners. Zhu Gaoxu feels that the snow in Liaodong will probably not melt before spring.

When he came to Mu Zhen's residence, he found that Chen Xianzhen was also here.

After the gift, Mu Zhen said: Mrs. Chen is so polite. Yesterday I gave me a coat, and she made a rebate of the food "oil magnetic" in Shenglong City, Annan, and also delivered it to her in person.

Zhu Gaoxu nodded.

I put on it today, this one.Chen Xianzhen immediately spoke.Before Mu Zhen could finish her speech, Chen Xianzhen seemed to be rushing to speak in front of Zhu Gaoxu.

Zhu Gaoxu turned his head to look at Chen Xianzhen and said: Not bad, his clothes are very beautiful.

Chen Xianzhen noticed his gaze and looked up at Zhu Gaoxu for a moment. Her eyes seemed to have a certain shyness, but perhaps it was just Zhu Gaoxu's illusion.

Chen Xianzhen said again: As long as it is given by the imperial concubine, how can it be worse?

Mu Zhen smiled and said: I don’t care about fur and have little knowledge. Why did I need to wear this kind of clothes in Yunnan?But this coat is new and has never been worn.

The two of them said one by one, and Zhu Gaoxu was mainly listening.

Mu Zhen's voice said again: It is best to taste the oil magnet made by Madam Chen while it is fresh, and the emperor can also try it.

Zhu Gaoxu smiled and said: Then I will be exposed to the imperial concubine.

So Mu Zhen invited Zhu Gaoxu to sit on the kang beside the window.

A blanket was laid on the kang, with futons and a few tables on it; at night, I collected things and laid bedding, so the palace maids on the night could still take a nap here.

Chen Xianzhen took off her coat and went to the kang with Mu Zhen to sit down.

The warmest place on the kang is, and if Chen Xianzhen sits on it in a fur coat, it will obviously not feel good.

Both of them knelt on the cushion, only Zhu Gaoxu sat cross-legged.

The kneeling posture is a demeanor passed down from ancestors. However, now there are chairs and stools, and Zhu Gaoxu rarely kneels. This posture makes him feel very uncomfortable, both his ankles and legs.

After a while, the palace maids served three plates of food and dried fruit tea.

I saw that the so-called oily magnet is a bit like rice noodles, with a thin skin and a lot of filling, and the sauce was poured on it.

The stuff has been cut open, and it is obvious that someone has tried it first.

Come and try it.Zhu Gaoxu picked up the chopsticks and started eating.The taste is pretty good, but he still prefers seafood.

Mu Zhen's voice said: Gao Siqing was traveling with him to the north, but he had been staying in Shandong for several months. What did the emperor send him to do?

Zhu Gaoxu glanced at Chen Xianzhen, then looked at Mu Zhen and responded: About the White Lotus Sect.

Has Gaosiqing done it?Mu Zhen asked.

Zhu Gaoxu shook his head and said: It can't be that simple.Shandong governor Chu Tai was a timid person, but he had been an official in Shandong for many years and must have understood the truth and knew that the White Lotus Sect had a foundation among the people. Chu Tai was afraid of arousing civil unrest, so he adopted the appeasement strategy.Of course, we can directly investigate the White Lotus Sect, but doing so can easily make the public opinion of the government unfavorable among the people, and become opposite to the people, which is not conducive to the hearts of the people.

Mu Zhen said softly: I know that the emperor must have good plans. I like to hear how the emperor realizes his ambitions and governs the world the most.

Her words inadvertently aroused Zhu Gaoxu's interest, and he said a few more words: During the "Jingnan Battle", Shandong and Jinan had fierce resistance and extremely difficult to attack, and the Jingnan Army suffered heavy losses.Zhang Yu, one of the three guards of Kings, was damaged in Shandong, and was hit by hundreds of arrows, with almost no intact skin on his body.In addition, the Yàn Palace was completely against the trend at the beginning and the military pressure was extremely high, so the central army relaxed its control over the soldiers.I have also witnessed the indulgence of looting in the army.

The Shandong Provincial Administration Office suffered from war disasters, and the labor service of Yongle's initial move to the capital and clearing the canal to recruit strong men, and the people complained.The White Lotus Sect took advantage of the situation to develop and operated in many places.

Therefore, the court's strategy not only needs to crack down on the White Lotus Sect, but also win the hearts of the people in order to make a long-term and stable strategy.We must first take the positive side of the public opinion, and then actually reduce the burden and provide relief to the victims. Both are equally important.Gao Xianning is designed to do this.

Mu Zhen said: The emperor is planning and strategizing, but I only wait for the emperor to make a rough success.

Chen Xianzhen suddenly interrupted: After losing troops and generals and losing generals, the emperor still used a gentle strategy to try to win them back.The Lord always treats people like this.

Zhu Gaoxu always didn't understand what she said for a moment, so he casually said: I have to solve the problem.

He just talked about Gao Xianning with Mu Zhen, and seemed to have neglected Chen Xianzhen and never commented on the meals she made with her own hands.

When Zhu Gaoxu thought of this, he said: This 'oil magnetic' is delicious, delicious and not greasy. I ate a lot of it when I was not careful.

Mu Zhen then agreed: Mrs. Chen is skillful.

Chen Xianzhen seemed a little happy and said humbly: It's not a rare thing.

The three of them were drinking tea and snacks while chatting, waiting for dinner.

Chen Xianzhen and Mu Zhen sat side by side, both opposite Zhu Gaoxu.

Perhaps because of his status, Chen Xianzhen deliberately sat back a little further away from several cases, which made Mu Zhen’s status appear to be higher.

In this way, Mu Zhen could hardly see Chen Xianzhen unless she turned around and went to see her specifically; while Zhu Gaoxu on the opposite side could see the two clearly with her own light.

Ordinary women generally cannot look directly in front of men with high status.

But Chen Xianzhen was always looking at Zhu Gaoxu. Her eyes and expressions changed, as if they were changing her mood.

Chen Xianzhen used to blame Zhu Gaoxu for insulting her, but now he was watching Qiubo at him, which made him a little confused and unable to understand the woman's thoughts.

The imperial concubine Mu Zhen is very beautiful. The delicate facial features, gentle and beautiful expressions on Taoxin's face are more beautiful than Chen Xianzhen.

But Zhu Gaoxu is often with Mu Zhen, and the one who feels the most is inevitably closeness.

Zhu Gaoxu hasn't seen Chen Xianzhen for several years. He had a skin relationship with her a few years ago. Zhu Gaoxu almost completely forgot what he looked like, so that today he pays attention to Chen Xianzhen and seems to surpass Mu Zhen.

Chen Xian is really far away from several cases, which allows Zhu Gaoxu to see the whole.

Zhu Gaoxu felt that when a woman sat, the folding posture between her legs and upper body was very beautiful, the material on the skirt and waist of the hips would be tense, and the wrinkles of the fabric could make the woman's beautiful contour more conspicuous; even if she was dressed neatly, she could show her unique body lines.

After dinner, Chen Xianzhen left, and Zhu Gaoxu's arrangements today did not change.

It was not until evening that by chance that Chen Xian's appearance appeared in his mind before, and then he remembered the moment he was moved during that afternoon.

The next day, Zhu Gaoxu went to the front yard study room and read some files and memorials at will.At this time, a eunuch reported that Chen Xianzhen wanted to meet the saint outside the door.

Zhu Gaoxu was slightly surprised and asked someone to invite her in and speak.

Chen Xianzhen lifted the curtain and walked in. She probably stood outside the door for a while, her face was pale and her body was shaking slightly.Seeing this, Zhu Gaoxu said kindly: Don’t give me a gift, come and sit on the kang.

Thank you.After Chen Xianzhen said that, he took off his fur coat.

Zhu Gaoxu was stunned because she was wearing the thin jacket inside, which was a gift he gave to Chen Xianzhen.

The dress was originally worn in summer or suitable for the hot Annan Kingdom, so it was naturally very light and thin; but at first she wore a fur coat outside, which was fine inside.

This dress is something that transcends the times, completely different from the flowingness of ordinary dresses, and is cut very close to the body, which can show a woman's waist and graceful figure.

Because the fabric is light and soft, you must have a thick lining inside when wearing it so that you will not lose your manners.

However, today Chen Xianzhen has a coat outside, but only wears that jacket inside, which looks completely unspoken.

There was no need for any brewing, Zhu Gaoxu's emotions were very direct, and he looked at Chen Xianzhen without hiding his eyes.

At the beginning, Asari took the initiative to hint, but Zhu Gaoxu declined. Perhaps because Asari said that Benjali had lost sweat, he always felt that something was not good.

But he had no such feelings about Chen Xianzhen, let alone that he had been close to Chen Xianzhen before.

Now Chen Xianzhen has come over, and Zhu Gaoxu has no restraint.

Chen Xianzhen took off her shoes and was about to get on the kang to take a seat. Zhu Gaoxu suddenly moved to the edge of the kang and reached out to grab her wrist.

Chen Xianzhen turned to look at Zhu Gaoxu, and the two looked at each other silently.

Seeing that she did not resist, Zhu Gaoxu pulled her back and wanted to hug Chen Xianzhen.

She should have felt Zhu Gaoxu's body change immediately, and she pushed and refused weakly, but still let him hug him.

At this time, she spoke and whispered: I can see the emperor, passing by Depin and Eunuch Cao.

Well... Zhu Gaoxu responded casually.

Chen Xianzhen said: After a while, the body is messy and the hair is hard to comb. They will definitely guess it after staying here for a long time.

So what?Zhu Gaoxu asked back.

Chen Xianzhen said: The Imperial Concubine kindly gave me a coat, but I took advantage of the fact that the emperor was going to go and send oil to the Imperial Concubine. She may have been dissatisfied with me in this matter.If I were to the emperor soon, wouldn’t the imperial concubine be angry?Once she thought I had used it, I would not have any good results in the future.

Zhu Gaoxu nodded slightly, feeling that what Chen Xianzhen said seemed to make sense.

Chen Xianzhen glanced at him, and after a while she proposed to use another method, and Zhu Gaoxu had to agree.

Unexpectedly, she sighed again and said that she felt a little humiliated.

Zhu Gaoxu didn't know how to answer, but he felt that the woman's mind was unpredictable and could not keep up with her emotions at all.

The chaotic mood is like the coldness of the ice and snow outside the door and the warmth of the kang inside the door. In the quiet winter, people are still hiding indoors and chasing everything that never stops.
