The four of them were eating together in the private room, when a servant came over to inform Zhao Cong, saying that Marquis Zhongyong had brought friends over to eat, and he wanted to invite Uncle Guo to join him.
"This Zhongyong Marquis has been here early and late, but he came at this time. Didn't you see me having dinner with others?"
Zhao Cong's face, which had been very happy just now, instantly fell.
The servant didn't dare to say anything, but just stood aside obediently with his head bowed.
Zhao Cong thought for a moment, then put down his chopsticks, cupped his hands and apologized: "I'm sorry, brother Zhongyong. People like Marquis Zhongyong are probably holding back something bad when they come here. After thinking about it, I still have to take a look, right?
Live..."
Chai Yan asked: "Brother, is this Zhongyong Hou the one who prompted you to open this Wangyue Tower?"
"Yes, it's him, Sui Zhan!" Zhao Cong responded affirmatively, and then said: "Brother Xian, I don't know what this guy is doing here at this time. Anyway, I have to go over and keep an eye on him. I can't let him
What tricks are you playing to ruin my business? Are you right, dear brother?"
"Yes, what the elder brother said is absolutely true!" Chai Yan nodded very seriously.
Zhao Cong then stood up and cupped his hands and said: "Brothers and sisters, Miss Qiao, the reception was not good enough. Eat slowly and drink slowly..."
Yuanyuan and Jimo Qiao shook their heads repeatedly, indicating that it was okay.
Soon, Zhao Cong left with the people.
When Chai Yan closed the door of the private room again, the whole space became quiet.
Jimo Qiao shook his head and sighed: "Sister, he's gone now. This guy talks like thunder, it's so noisy!"
Yuan Yuan smiled and said: "Don't say that, Uncle Zhao Guo is a straightforward man, there is nothing wrong with him."
Jimo Qiao also smiled and did not continue to discuss Zhao Cong's meaning. Instead, he said to Chai Yan: "Brother-in-law, come over and eat!"
Chai Yan walked back to his seat and sat down. He just picked up the chopsticks and put them down again. His face looked a little strange.
When Yuan found out, he asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Chai Yan turned around, looked at Yuyuan very seriously, and said in a serious tone: "Madam, I have to tell you something. Don't be angry after hearing this..."
Upon hearing this, Yuanyuan understood what Chai Yan was going to say. He immediately put down his chopsticks and turned around, asking, "Do you want to say that the emperor sent you to Muyue Kingdom?"
Chai Yan was slightly startled, and then said: "You know?"
Yuanyuan nodded slowly and said, "Yes, Commander Gu came to the house yesterday to see my father. Qiao Er and I both know."
Chai Yan turned to look at Jimo Qiao: "Why are you everywhere? This matter is top secret!"
Jimo Qiao was disdainful and replied: "Hey, you knew it was top secret and you just said it in front of me? Come on, you..."
Chai Yan shook his head helplessly, looked back at Yuan's face and said, "Madam, I'm sorry! Going to Muyue Kingdom is of great importance. I really can't refuse. Our wedding can only be held later."
"I know, I'm not in a hurry. I'll just wait until you come back." Yuanyuan nodded lightly.
Chai Yan had prepared a lot of things to say before he came, but Yuan Yuan's performance of being so sensible and considerate suddenly disrupted his rhythm, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
"Madam, you...you are so kind." Chai Yan was very moved.
Yuan lowered his head slightly, smiled shyly, and said with a blushing face: "Better... let's eat first, the dishes are already cold..."
Jimo Qiao, who was sitting nearby, also interjected: "Yes, let's eat first. Seeing how disgusting you are, I can hardly stay any longer!"
After saying that, Jimo Qiao put a big piece of fat meat into Yuan's bowl.
Yuanyuan suddenly frowned and said, "Qiaoer, I don't eat fat meat."
"It's okay, this fat meat is not greasy." Jimo Qiao said hurriedly.
Chai Yan was very considerate and immediately put the fat meat into his bowl, then put a piece of lean meat on it and said, "I'll eat the fat meat, you eat this."
"Yeah." Yuanyuan nodded immediately, showing a happy smile.
Jimo Qiao saw this scene completely in his eyes and couldn't help but get some goosebumps. He couldn't help turning his head away and rolled his eyes.
After chatting for a while while eating, Jimo Qiao suddenly filled a glass of wine.
Then, Jimo Qiao raised his wine glass with both hands and saluted: "Brother-in-law, I wish you all the best this time and return to Beijing to marry your sister as soon as possible!"
Chai Yan also immediately picked up the wine glass, nodded vigorously and said: "Definitely!"
"Dry!"
After Jimo Qiao finished speaking, he drank the wine in his glass.
Chai Yan didn't hesitate and drank it all in one gulp.
After putting down the cup, Jimo Qiao asked Chai Yan: "By the way, brother-in-law, when will you set off?"
Yuan also looked at Chai Yan, waiting for his answer.
Chai Yan said: "It should be within the next few days. I have to ask the emperor for details."
Jimo Qiao asked again: "Brother-in-law, how many of you are going?"
"There can't be too many people. I thought about it carefully and took Cheng Jiu and Yu Tie with me," Chai Yan said.
Yuan Yuan was a little surprised and asked, "Aren't you going without Guan Maochun?"
Chai Yan shook his head and said: "Guan Maochun is not suitable for this trip. That kid is always missing a string in his head. I feel worried. Cheng Jiu and Yu Tie are better. They have good physical strength and can fight. They can do things safely and will not mess up."
say."
"That's right." Yuan Yuan nodded in agreement.
After a while, Chai Yan said: "By the way, madam, please give me an idea..."
"Any ideas? What ideas can I help you with?" Yuan asked.
Chai Yan said seriously: "What the Emperor and Commander Gu mean is that this trip to Muyue Kingdom must be very low-key. Except for a few important people, no one can know our identity, so I have to change my name and surname and disguise myself."
......."
"Do you still want to be like this?" Jimo Qiao's face was flushed, probably because he drank too much wine.
When Yuan Yuan saw that his sister had drunk too much, he quickly snatched her wine glass and prevented her from drinking any more.
Chai Yan poured a cup of tea for Jimo Qiao, placed it in front of her, and asked: "Madam, what do you think I should change my name to? Also, what identity should I use?"
Yuan immediately fell into thinking.
Jimo Qiao was drinking tea when he suddenly interrupted: "Let's call him Li Fugui! Then the three of you will pretend to be merchants running away with goods, so it will be very convenient for you to come and go."
Chai Yan wanted to laugh a little, and thought to himself, why is it Li Fugui, not Wang Fugui or Liu Fugui?
Chai Yan did not answer Jimo Qiao's words, but asked Yuanyuan: "Madam, what do you think?"
"You can actually call it whatever you want, the key is what false identity you use to make it easier to do business after arriving in Muyue Kingdom." Yuanyuan said while thinking.
Chai Yan nodded slowly, he agreed with this.
Jimo Qiao immediately said: "Then it's no problem to call me Li Fugui. As for your identity, if you think the merchant is not good, then become a bodyguard. If you are not good as a bodyguard, then become a doctor..."
..”
"This is not bad, You Yi can do it!" Yuyuan suddenly made a sound of approval.
Seeing that his sister agreed, Jimo Qiao immediately nodded happily: "I also think you can practice medicine!"
"It's not good to travel as a doctor. I don't know how to see a doctor. I have to carry a medicine box all the time. It's tiring..." Chai Yan shook his head.
After he finished speaking, he added: "Besides, look at Cheng Jiu and Yu Tie, how do they look like a wandering doctor and more like a bandit?"
"Pfft..." Yuan couldn't help laughing.
Jimo Qiao shook his head and shrugged: "This won't work, and that won't work either. It's really troublesome..."
After saying that, Jimo Qiao stood up and walked to the door.
Yuan Yuan hurriedly chased after him: "Qiaoer, where are you going?"
"I'm going..." Jimo Qiao held back his words as soon as he left his mouth, and then whispered in Yuanyuan's ear: "I'm going to the hut."
Yuan said: "I see you drank a lot, how about I go with you?"
Jimo Qiao waved his hand and said, "No need, I'm not drunk. Sister, you'd better stay and discuss this matter with your brother-in-law. I'll be right back."
After saying that, Jimo Qiao opened the door and left the private room, heading towards the stairs.
Yuan Yuan observed Jimo Qiao and saw that he was not drunk when he walked, so he closed the door and walked back to the table.
At this time, Chai Yan was stroking his chin and frowning, thinking about the problem. When he saw Yuan Yuan coming over, he said, "Madam, I suddenly thought of a suitable profession. What do you think it is?"
