Chapter 85 Trouble Comes
Shen Zhao raised his eyebrows slightly. Chu Mu was notorious in the court and had no good friends among the ministers.
Why did this newly appointed Minister of Revenue come to visit him for no reason?
If she remembered correctly, this Minister of Revenue seemed to be taking office for the first day today, and she didn't even see him at the morning court.
After paying homage to the emperor in the palace, he came to pay homage to her.
Is it possible that Minister Du is not well-informed and doesn't know Chu Mu's reputation in the court?
"Madam, you watch here, but don't let the old lady and the eldest and second brothers suffer any injustice. I will go to see Lord Du." Shen Zhao instructed Chu Mu, deliberately emphasizing the importance of not letting them suffer any injustice.
Chu Mu knew what to do.
"Old lady, eldest brother, second brother, you guys interrogate the doctor from the Chen Mansion first. I'll be back soon. Please don't let anyone die." After saying that, he turned and walked out of the room.
Shen Zhao walked quickly towards the front yard reception room.
As soon as she entered the room, she saw a straight-limbed man standing in the living room with his back to her.
The man heard footsteps and turned around.
Shen Zhao was stunned for a moment, Pang Yunjin's opponent had arrived.
My goodness, this Minister Du is as charming as the fox in the mountain stream.
She had a pair of narrow, long fox eyes, an oval face that only women had, a rosy mouth, skin as white as snow, delicate and shiny, a straight nose with tiny beads of sweat on it, and a pink sheen.
His eyes were full of charm, giving people a dizzy feeling of falling into the abyss, and they were so engrossed in it that they wanted to indulge in it.
Shen Zhao quickly looked away from Minister Du.
Is this guy the reincarnation of a fox spirit? How could he have such a pair of bewitching eyes?
While Shen Zhao was looking at Minister Du, Minister Du was also looking at her.
It seems that this legendary General Chu is not as dull as rumored.
You can tell whether a person is smart or not by looking at his eyes.
General Chu's eyes are very smart, and he is quite clever.
If an ordinary person looked into his eyes for a long time, they would be more or less lost in them. However, General Chu did not do that. Instead, he was alert and noticed something was wrong with his eyes.
Look away quickly.
"Your humble servant greets General Chu. I hope you will not be offended by my visit."
Shen Zhao did not have a good impression of the Minister of Revenue.
Daddy once told her that anything that was too beautiful and alluring was deadly poisonous.
Although Pang Yunjin was also extremely handsome, he had a cold and ethereal look.
The person in front of him was clearly the enchanting monster from the mountains.
Inwardly, he was deeply repulsed by this voluptuous beauty and said aloofly, "Minister Du is very polite, but since he knew I would be offended by your visit, why didn't he send me a visiting card in advance to see if I agreed to come to your residence?"
Du Qian was speechless for a moment.
It seems that the rumors are true, this General Chu is indeed an unpopular person.
"I apologize to the general here. I came to visit your house to look for an elder from my clan who has been missing for many years."
Chen Zhao raised his eyebrows slightly. Coming to the General's Mansion to look for the elders of his clan?
Last name: Du!
Chu Renqing said that the Chen family doctor's real name was Du Kang!
What a coincidence.
Didn’t Du Kang refuse to admit that he was not Du Kang?
Now that the people from the Du family have come to his door, he wants to see how he can still deny them.
It’s really a relief to have someone give you a pillow when you feel sleepy.
"I wonder who this elder that Minister Du is looking for is in his family?"
She still had to ask clearly. In case Du Kang had an extraordinary status in the Du family, she would not want this pillow.
The Du family is an extraordinary existence, extremely similar to their own family, the Shen family.
The whole family is of upright character, and many of the family members serve as officials throughout the Southern Chu State. What makes the Du family even more different from other aristocratic families is that
The descendants of the Du family can go into business!
This is very intriguing, as the status of merchants in Southern Chu was extremely low.
Everyone knows that there are four classes of people: scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans, and that the descendants of merchants are not allowed to take the imperial examinations.
This is obviously contrary to common sense, but the Du family has been doing this for hundreds of years.
The Du family has a special branch of its legitimate descendants who are engaged in business, and their descendants are also businessmen.
Even though all the members of the Du family are scholars, this branch still has an extraordinary status, second only to that of the head of the Du family.
"I am your cousin, the legitimate son of the Du family." Du Qian'an deliberately emphasized the identity of his cousin.
The reason he came to the capital this time was, firstly, according to the rules of the Du family, it was time for someone from their branch to come to the capital to serve as an official.
The second is to find Du Kang and return to his ancestral home to inherit the mission that their branch should fulfill.
When Shen Zhao heard this, her expression turned cold. It seemed that she could not accept this pillow.
The legitimate daughter of the Du family.
Du Kang was so desperate for the sake of this vicious woman that he even gave up his status as Du's legitimate son.
He is truly a romantic figure rarely seen in a century.
"Oh, so that's how it is. How can Minister Du be so sure that the person you're looking for is in our house? Everyone in the world knows that your Du family's legitimate children are so noble. We in the Chu family don't have a master with the last name Du. If it were a servant..."
Chen Zhao paused and said sarcastically, "If it was the cousin of Minister Du, it would be even more impossible for him to stay in our house. He must be a fool. He gave up his status as a young master of a noble family and came to our Chu family to serve as a servant.
Isn't this clearly a sign of self-debasement? If this gets out, it will be a disgrace to him and the Du family. Minister Du, please think carefully, your cousin is really in our house. "
Du Qi'an heard the threat in Shen Zhao's words and smiled calmly, "In the general's mansion, my cousin is rebellious by nature. He wants to experience a different life, and our Du family will not stop him. After all, the Du family is extremely tolerant and protective of their descendants and does not restrict any of their choices.
The general should have heard of this. I will not beat around the bush with you. Please take me to see the palace physician Du Kang."
Du Qian'an said it bluntly, the Chu family was not worthy of the Du family's attention.
The once glorious Chu family is long gone. Now the Chu family only has Chu Mu to support it, so there is nothing to be afraid of.
Otherwise, Chu Mu, who was clearly the commander-in-chief of a region, would have fallen into the situation of being wantonly suppressed.
It’s because those people took advantage of the fact that Chu Mu had no family support.
Shen Zhao sneered, looking down on her.
"Is Minister Du warning me not to be ungrateful? Why do I look so easy to bully in Minister Du's eyes?
I don't care whether your Du family protects you or not, or whether your influence is widespread in the court and the country. Now we are in my Chu family's territory. If I want to kill you, it will be easy. Minister Du."
Chen Zhao looked at Minister Du's slightly changed expression and continued:
"Your uncle, who has willingly lowered himself to low status, must have been eaten by wild wolves and dogs long ago. We don't have a doctor named Du in our house. And Minister Du, since you come from a prominent family, how come you don't even know the etiquette of being a guest? You come here empty-handed. Are you so poor that you can't even afford to eat, or do you still want to keep your dignity?
This general has dignity, so I don't care about Minister Du's dignity. After all, if Minister Du has no dignity, he would be truly shameless. Someone, show me around."
Then he said to the servant who came in: "Don't let those random people into the house from now on. It's bad luck!"
Du Qian'an was stunned. What did Chu Mu mean by this? Wasn't he afraid of offending the Du family?
Who else is a cat or a dog?
After you provide the great god cat to eat raw pickled body swap, the general tore his white moonlight
