Chapter five hundred and sixty-eight drinking and chatting
Wei Changqing indeed didn't go anywhere. He stayed at home all day. Lin Chong only knew that he would be at home on this day, but he didn't know the reason.
In fact, it is because Wei Changqing was always busy with his family when he was young. As the eldest son, he had many things to consider, and it was inevitable that he would have no time to take care of other things.
Although he was very doting on his little sister, every year on her birthday, Wei Changqing would often be unable to leave because of various things, and would often just buy her a gift.
He promised several times that he would spend birthdays with his sister, but in the end he broke the promise. He used to think that birthdays would happen every year anyway, and it would be the same this year and next, until his sister passed away at a young age.
.
Later, he would give himself a day off at this time every year, and just stay at home without doing anything. In fact, it was not necessary to be sad and nostalgic about the past. Most of the time, he just gave himself a rest.
After doing business outside for a long time, it is inevitable that there will be times when he is impatient. Spending a peaceful day at home can greatly improve his mood. Reading and writing can also regain some of the time he was studying at the time.
When I was young and frivolous.
He didn't expect that Lin Chong would remember it just by saying it so casually, and even choose to visit him at this time today. Although it was unexpected, he didn't feel unhappy about being disturbed, but he had been used to it for so many years.
Now that I am alone on this day, even my regular visit to Gu Qinghuan will be temporarily put aside for this day.
"Your Majesty, why are you here? Is there something important?" Logically speaking, if there is no urgent matter, he should not come to me casually.
Lin Chong showed him the pile of things he was carrying: "If I had something to ask you for, would I still have the leisure to buy so many things? You don't have to treat me like an emperor today, I'm just here to see you.
You're just an ordinary person looking for an old friend, would you like to have a drink with me?"
Wei Changqing thought of Lin Chong's poor drinking capacity and couldn't help shaking his head and laughing: "Are you really sure you want to have two drinks with me? I'm afraid you've already collapsed before I start drinking."
Lin Chong snorted unconvinced: "You haven't had a drink with me for many years, how do you know that my drinking capacity is still the same as before? I was just a newbie here and I didn't adapt to the environment here. I told you
You are different now, and it is not necessarily who of us will fall first today."
Wei Changqing laughed: "Okay, let's have a big drink today to see who has a better drinking capacity. But I've decided that you won't come back until you get drunk, and I won't let you."
Lin Chong raised his eyebrows: "You'd better not give in to me, so that I can convince you that you lost, so that you won't have to make excuses later." After saying that, he put the things in his hands on the table outside.
There had just been a light snowfall in Nanjing the day before, and standing outside now brought with it some winter chill. Lin Chong was worried that the food and wine he had brought would soon get cold, so he quickly urged Wei Changqing to go inside.
His guess was correct. The cooks of Wei Changqing's family had indeed skipped work today. If he hadn't brought hot meals, Wei Changqing would probably have waited until evening to go out to eat a bowl of noodles.
Although they said they were just old friends here to catch up on old times, their conversation ultimately failed to bypass the current case and the commercial attacks related to it.
"They probably know that they have been discovered, so they have been very honest recently, and basically nothing else has happened. However, the bad effects have already been shown, and the business of all those stores has declined this month.
Less." Wei Changqing sighed.
"The decline in business is just a small matter. That's not what you're worried about, right?" Lin Chong noticed that he seemed to be worried about other things.
Indeed, if the business of a few shops was just a little worse, it wouldn't worry him. What he was really worried about was that Zheng Ying's attitude was a little too arrogant at the time, and he was worried that this matter would eventually implicate His Majesty.
"To be honest, I have heard some bad rumors recently, and I don't know whether I should continue to investigate this matter." After weighing the matter, he still expressed his worries.
The Majesty they are assisting is not an incompetent person who does not need their careful protection at all times. He should know all the news and situations so that they will not take detours.
"Rumors? Are you referring to those who say that I deliberately protected you and prevented the government from telling the truth? Are you worried that my reputation among the people will be damaged?" Lin Chong thought for a while and came to a conclusion.
Although Wei Changqing didn't know how the emperor knew, now that he had been told what was on his mind, he still nodded honestly: "Well, because when I went to see Zheng Ying before, this guy was not normal. I always felt that
There is an enemy behind him that we cannot see, and this person is targeting you."
"There is indeed someone else behind him, but don't worry, this is not an invisible enemy. On the contrary, this enemy is right in front of us now." Lin Chong said meaningfully.
Wei Changqing's eyes widened in disbelief. He slowly moved his gaze to the wood, and then glanced at Lin Chong uncertainly.
Lin Chong was amused by his ability to understand: "I mean we know very well who he is. He is not hiding somewhere we can't see. Where did you think he was? It's just a piece of wood. You see he has the brains and
Do you have the guts to do such a thing?”
Wei Changqing withdrew his gaze in embarrassment. He had almost started a fight with Mu Mu in the room just now, but now Mu Mu was still scolding him with a hurt look in his eyes.
"What do you mean?"
Lin Chong dipped his finger in some tea and wrote a word on the table.
"Zheng? Zheng Ying, I know he is very suspicious, Zheng... you mean?" Wei Changqing couldn't believe it. Zheng Chenggong had come to Nanjing to help them rescue them. He said that he was a loyal minister and good general of the Ming Dynasty. What's going on?
In the blink of an eye, a drama of colluding with businessmen to do evil was staged!
"What's so unbelievable about this? It's not like you've never been a traitor. Don't you still know how to write sanctimonious? Even if he wants to kill me, he can't have these words on his forehead every day, right?
Lin Chong rolled his eyes and gave an inappropriate example.
Wei Changqing was so impressed by his example that he couldn't think of how to refute it for a moment.
