Li Jing has already sent someone to tell Zhao Chen what happened at today's court meeting.

Cheng Chumo also came over for lunch just now. By the way, the emperor was in the court today and his face was dark because of the horseshoe incident.

At this moment, Zhao Chen was squatting under the paulownia tree in the backyard of the tavern, picking up a branch in his hand and turning over a few pieces of soil.

No locust eggs were found, which made Zhao Chen feel relieved.

Although the life and death of the people of the Tang Dynasty had little to do with him, he never wanted to see a situation where the people were in dire straits.

Shaking his head, Zhao Chen slowly stood up.

It's already afternoon, and Queen Changsun should be here.

Old Li Tou would not be interested in his own money, whether openly or secretly.

After all, this person has to consider some impact no matter what he says.

But Queen Changsun would not let it go like this.

Judging from such a long period of contact, Queen Changsun didn't say anything to her.

Even for his own son, he is not so good.

But this was the money Zhao Chen defrauded from the emperor, and Queen Changsun would not agree if she made it clear.

She could give the money, and Zhao Chen could earn it himself, but she would never let Zhao Chen deceive the emperor.

Zhao Chen complained a little in his heart. This Liu Zhenghui was so good that he didn't use his own money to make a bet, but used money from the treasury. He was really a good person.

It's good now. I don't know how much of this money I have to spit back!

However, Zhao Chen does not rely on small amounts of money.

Now more than 20,000 yuan is really just a small amount of money to Zhao Chen.

Just give it back, no big deal.

All we have to do is find a place with Lao Li Tou in the future!

What bad intentions are you having again? Empress Changsun's gentle voice sounded from behind Zhao Chen.

I don’t know when she came here.

Zhao Chen turned around with a smile on his face, No, my aunt came here. Why didn't you tell me in advance? Aunt, is lunch available?

You kid, you asked Li Jing to deceive His Majesty and the ministers in the court today. You are a cunning little fox. Empress Changsun sat down on the recliner beside her and looked at Zhao Chen with a smile.

Aunt, what you said is wrong. This is obviously a consensual thing between you and me. How come it involves cheating? Besides, I didn't go to the court today. I heard what happened somewhere. Yes, if you want to reason, you should go to Duke Wei, right?

I'm just sitting at home, and the pot came from the sky. Zhao Chen died unjustly! Zhao Chen defended.

He would not admit to Empress Changsun that he had conspired with Li Jing to deceive the ministers of the court.

If word of this got out, wouldn't those ministers rush over and fight him?

You kid, don't talk nonsense to your aunt. Duke Wei is also fooling around with you. Today you have to give an explanation to your aunt, otherwise the ministers will definitely come to your door. Empress Changsun glared at Zhao Chen and said, Is that okay? Just say hand over the money and I will help you get rid of the officials.

Zhao Chen opened her mouth. This was the first time she understood the power of Queen Changsun.

Although there was not a word about money, it was clear that Zhao Chen was asked to hand over the money he won from the Tai Chi Palace today.

Amazing!

She is indeed a famous empress!

Zhao Chen thought to himself.

But since we have already prepared before...

My aunt's light is enough to reflect every corner of the Tang Dynasty. Zhao Chen's admiration for my aunt is like the endless flow of the river, and like the overflowing Yellow River, which is out of control.

It just so happens

Zhao Chen got a batch of things that smelled like copper, and he specially offered half of them to express Zhao Chen's admiration for his aunt! Zhao Chen said with cupped hands, with a look on his face that he had repented of his past mistakes.

When you and Ruoshuang got married, your aunt originally planned to give you five hundred guan as a gift, but your majesty said that five hundred guan was a bit too little, so now I am going to give you ten times that, five thousand guan. Do you think it is appropriate? Queen Changsun said meaningfully, but did not tell Zhao Chen everything.

Zhao Chen almost jumped up.

Queen Changsun’s move is a bit cruel!

Not even half satisfied, he only allowed himself to keep five thousand strings.

Wouldn't this be a waste of work?

Five thousand guan is quite a lot. My aunt has this intention. Zhao Chen is extremely grateful. I will give you the 20,000 guan I won from the court today as a thank you. There is no way, this is Zhao Chen's final bottom line. If not, Satisfied, Zhao Chen could only beg.

Hey, you child, why are you being so polite to your aunt? But since you are so thoughtful, my aunt will accept it. As I have time now, I will go to the Duke Wei's Mansion to propose marriage for you! After thinking about it carefully, Empress Changsun then reluctantly accepted the 20,000 yuan promised by Zhao Chen, patted Zhao Chen on the shoulder, and left with a sigh.

Shortly after Queen Changsun left, Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaiyu, who had just left, appeared again in Zhao Chen's tavern.

Both of them were still followed by a group of people.

All of these people are tall and powerful. At a glance, none of them are easy to mess with.

Zhao Chen knew that these people were generals from the Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaiyu families.

The two of them brought these people over, and Zhao Chen wasn't too sure of the reason.

Zhao Chen, these are some skilled people from Xiao Qin and I's family. You and Uncle Fu live here without a helper. We are always a little worried.

So, arrange for them to come and keep you safe.

From now on, they will be yours. Cheng Chumo and Zhao Chen said.

We pay our respects to the Lord Marquis of the County. More than a dozen people said in unison to Zhao Chen.

They were all responsible for making paper for Zhao Chen before.

Having seen Zhao Chen's abilities a long time ago, he naturally wouldn't have any thoughts of contempt at this moment.

Everyone looked at Zhao Chen with enthusiasm.

You guys get up first! Zhao Chen said.

Fortunately, there were no customers in the tavern at noon today, and Uncle Fu also went to take a walk at Doctor Xue's house.

Otherwise, these people would definitely be shocked.

You ask them to follow me, I don't even have a place to live here. Zhao Chen said to Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaiyu.

His tavern originally had only two rooms.

Normally, if Li Ruoshuang came over, Zhao Chen would lay down the floor.

How is he going to deal with these dozen people?

Your Marquis' Mansion is still under construction. It will definitely not be completed this year. How about you and Uncle Fu move to my place? Qin Huaiyu said with a smile.

This is also what his old man Qin Qiong meant.

According to what Qin Qiong said, if he stayed closer to Zhao Chen, Qin Huaiyu could also be influenced by him.

I will definitely become smarter in the future!

How is this possible? Zhao Chen is about to marry Sister-in-law Ruoshuang. What will it look like if he lives in your house?

Zhao Chen, there is an empty house next to my house. I have bought it and I want to give it to you. You and Uncle Fu can move there. Even if you marry Sister-in-law Ruoshuang, you can live there!

Besides, it will be extremely convenient for you to come to Zhao An in the future. As long as you are here, my old man will not dare to beat me! Cheng Chumo invited.
