Chapter 3 (3)

Chapter 3(3)()

Di Jinghui had almost drunk half a hu of wine at this moment. When he heard Di Renjie's voice, he asked thornyly: "What's wrong, Dad? It seems that this table of dishes is not up to your taste?"

Di Renjie glared at Di Jinghui and said, "I'll ask you, how much does this table of wine and food cost?"

"That's really hard to say. No matter how rich you are, you have nowhere to buy it on the market. Humps, caviar, bears, deer, etc., are all specially designed in shops opened by Hu people. The seasonings and spices are rare and rare. Even Lao Zhang was invited by his son from Chang'an, Xijing for a large price. How much do you think it will cost?" Di Jinghui said provocatively.

Di Renjie suppressed his anger and said, "Okay, then I'll change my question. With the salary of a fifth-rank official for a year, how many tables can you hold such a banquet?!"

Di Jinghui sneered, "Dad, you are not going to take your son's math exam. You won't forget that Jinghui was the first in the 19th year of the year. Such a simple arithmetic will not be difficult for his son. If you really want to take my exam, you might as well ask again, for the annual salary of a fifth-rank official, you can buy a few nanmu tables and chairs in front of you, a few gold screens beside you, how many secret porcelain bowls and glass cups can be exchanged for on this table, can you put your son in the five-enterprise mansion in the south of the city, and the gorgeous clothes on your daughter-in-law's head and makeup, and the Cordyceps sinensis that my mother takes every day..."

Chen Qiuyue said in a trembling voice: "Jinghui, stop talking, you are drunk."

Di Renjie said: "Let him say it!"

Di Jinghui poured himself a glass of wine and said, "Drunk? A wine bag like me is not so easy to get drunk. Besides, what if I get drunk? It's not as precious as a general, and I need to take care of myself at all times."

Li Yuanfang raised his head suddenly, and his eyes shot towards Di Jinghui like an arrow, but slowly moved away.

Di Renjie said: "Di Jinghui, this is the welcoming banquet you held for me? Since we met, have you ever asked me why I returned home, have you ever asked me about my past along the way? Is it because I am late and lazy, and showing off my erotic style is how you welcome me?!"

"Hmph, my son wants to ask, have you given your son a chance? Besides, my son just asked, would you say? You are the prime minister of the country and the pillar of the court. You are all responsible for state secrets. How can you know about your affairs? But this time my son has seen that you should not be the emperor's order, but you should be an imperial envoy, and come to investigate your son's crime of illegal corruption in a vain?"

"Jinghui! Please don't say anything more." Chen Qiuyue was already crying.

Di Jinghui gritted his teeth and said, "Why don't you say it? I spend all my money, and I'm not afraid."

Di Renjie was so angry that he was trembling all over and couldn't speak. Li Yuanfang stood up and said, "Sir, Yuanfang has left."

Di Jinghui stopped him and said, "General Li, don't leave. What should I do if my father leaves? He doesn't like me and treats you like a treasure. When did he write home letters, don't praise you? Jinghui also wants to learn some tricks from General Li to coax my father."

Di Renjie said: "Yuanfang, you go."

"Yes. Yuan Fang said goodbye first." Li Yuanfang clasped his fists at everyone, turned around and walked out of the hall.

Di Jinghui said to his back: "Hmph, I still think of a great hero who stands tall. Today it seems that it is just because of being humble and obedient and always pleasing to others."

Di Renjie slapped the table hard: "Di Jinghui! Stop it!"

As soon as Li Yuanfang stepped out of the second hall, he stopped, clenched his fists tightly, stood for a while, and then walked out with big strides.

Di Renjie let out a long sigh and whispered: "Di Jinghui, you can leave too, you all retreat."

What else Di Jinghui wanted to say? Chen Qiuyue grabbed his arm and shook his head desperately at him with tears in his eyes. Di Jinghui then calmed down a little, bowed to his father, and left the second hall with Chen Qiuyue.

The east wing of the back hall is the bedroom of Di Jinghui and Chen Qiuyue in Di Mansion, with three-bedroom suites, with curtains of landscape brocade hanging layer by layer, one bed and one cabinet, all with simple style and elegant colors. The fragrance of Baihe wafts from the copper incense burner with lotus-like patterns, which makes people feel calm and peaceful, but it seems that Di Jinghui can't calm down at this moment. He kept walking back and forth in the middle of the room, Chen Qiuyue sat silently by the couch, expressionless and empty eyes, and didn't know what he was thinking.

After a while, she spoke casually: "Jinghui, where did you go today?"

Di Jinghui replied impatiently: "I haven't said it, why are you asking again?"

Chen Qiuyue raised her eyelids and said tiredly: "Jinghui, it's fine if you deceive your father-in-law. After all, he hasn't returned to Taiyuan for many years. But you can't deceive me. Where is the Persian diner outside the city? Besides, the best Sanleju in Taiyuan City is in the wine shop you open yourself, so why do you need to look far away?"

Di Jinghui stopped, turned around and stared at Chen Qiuyue: "You are smart, worthy of being the daughter of Lord Chen Changshi. Since you are so knowledgeable, why don't you just tell my father that I'm lying?"

Chen Qiuyue said: "Jinghui, don't be so anxious. I just want to know what's wrong with you? You, you are my husband."

"Hmph, my husband? I'm afraid you want to know the inside story is not for me, but for your father!"

Chen Qiuyue sighed and said, "Jinghui, I have no choice but to think of this. But I can feel that you must have encountered such a big problem, otherwise you wouldn't be so irritable tonight. You are not like this in normal times."

Di Jinghui continued to walk around the room without saying a word.

Chen Qiuyue said: "Jinghui, my father-in-law is such a smart and meticulous person. He is now angry. Maybe he can't notice the flaws in your words for a moment. When he calms down, he will definitely find your problem."

Di Jinghui snorted.

Chen Qiuyue said again: "There is that Li Yuanfang, why did you offend him for no reason? I heard that he is a very capable person and is deeply trusted by his father-in-law. This time, his father-in-law returned home and brought him by his side, but he couldn't say what purpose it was. Do you treat others like this today, and have you created another enemy for yourself in vain?"

Di Jinghui said: "I don't need you to teach me a lesson yet! I just can't stand the flattering look of Li Yuanfang next to his father. If he hadn't been scheming and could he understand his father's thoughts, how could he get so trust from his father? I would like to beat him up with such an arrogance!"

"Oh." Chen Qiuyue sighed deeply and stopped talking.

Di Jinghui was silent for a while, suddenly remembered something and walked out. Chen Qiuyue jumped up from the couch, pulled his sleeve tightly, and asked nervously: "Jinghui, what are you going to do? Are you going out again?"

Di Jinghui said "yes" and said nothing, and was about to break away from Chen Qiuyue's hand.

Chen Qiuyue suddenly raised her voice and said, "No, Jinghui, I won't let you go. Don't go!" She hugged Di Jinghui's body with trembling hands, and tears rolled in her eyes: "Jinghui, you have been staying at night for more than half a year. Every night I sleep alone. I, I, I am very lonely, very lonely... Please, I finally went back to my parents-in-law's house today, so you stay and don't go out again, okay?"

Di Jinghui looked at her sad face and hesitated a little. He raised his hand and gently stroked Chen Qiuyue's hair, with a faint reluctance in his eyes... Suddenly, he shook Chen Qiuyue away with his hand, raised his legs and left.

Chen Qiuyue took a few steps back, raised her head, looked at Di Jinghui's back, and said tremblingly: "You, you are going to find that little bitch again, are you? One day, one day, she will kill you!"

Di Jinghui threw down without looking back: "You are the daughter-in-law of the third-rank prime minister and the daughter of the fourth-rank chief minister. I don't need to teach you how to abide by the wife's words, right?" Before he finished speaking, he slammed the door.

Chen Qiuyue stood there blankly, stunned for a while, tears kept falling, and finally couldn't bear it, and she fell on the table and started crying.
