Ming Diary

Chapter 57: Wine meets a bosom friend, a thousand cups are also different 2

Cao Muwen rode back to the house first, but suddenly didn't want to sleep. I don't know whether it was because of the evening breeze that blew by accidentally or Wang Shouren's words just now, his original sense of burnout was swept away. On the way back, looking at the lights of thousands of families, bright and gorgeous, the naughty children who were taken care of by adults had long been without any fear, so they played loudly and freely in the summer night of this good season. The adults beside them also avoided the control of these little ancestors for a few days of the year and let them fool around. .

When Cao Muwen just entered the house, a sense of loss appeared in an instant. I may be alone here tonight, and even the groom who specializes in horse management in the stables went back in the afternoon. Now there are only a few horses standing in the stable. Before the groom left, he still added water plants to the food trough, but animals inevitably ate and drank in this day. When Cao Muwen led the horse in, there was no other sound other than the occasional sound of horse hissing and summer cicadas. The horse stood to sleep and could wake up quickly. Cao Muwen was deeply touched now. When he led the horse to the stable, he obviously felt that many horses had made sounds. Although the night was dark, it was a little humid and not real, but he could only rely on his feelings. As I know, these horses are not alone. It seems that there are members going home, and the residents here are also happy. Cao Muwen left here.

Since there is nothing to do now and I don't want to waste a good time. Cao Muwen was not going to go back to his room to sleep. Even now, he was still slightly tired, but this did not affect the sudden excitement at all. Walking slowly in the silent courtyard, he set his mind and planned to go out.

Before that, Cao Muwen came outside and began to wander aimlessly at the street temple fair where people came and went. This place is very lively, and Cao Muwen also watched it around. Although it was lively, he did not mention his interest. At this time, Cao Muwen suddenly thought that since there were fireworks after a while, and since he planned to join the fun, why didn't he join in the fun? On the contrary, there is already a stream of people going to the Hubei coast in the current market. It seems that these people are going to see the fireworks. Cao Muwen thought about it and followed the flow of people and planned to go to see it together.

However, with this flow of people for about a few minutes, suddenly, Cao Muwen saw a figure standing on a calligraphy and painting grocery stall next to him, looking at the goods on it. At first, this person did not attract his attention, but when he walked to him and was about to miss it, he only heard the man say a few words. Cao Muwen felt that this person's voice was familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was. Turning around, this person only showed his back and couldn't see it from the front. This man is wearing a dark white gown today, which is actually white from top to bottom. Cao Muwen left the stream of people and leaned aside and looked carefully.

The original back gradually turned into a side face. Looking at it, isn't this Gong Chen?

It happened that this person also ended the conversation with the stall owner, turned his head and looked at each other. As soon as Cao Muwen took a look, it was Gong Chen.

"Oops! What a coincidence, Gong Chen? Mr. Gong!" Cao Muwen said with a little surprise.

The other party also looked surprised, "I didn't expect to meet you here today." He said so. After saying that, he took out a folding fan with a white jade handle from his sleeve, embroidered with a black blue edge.

"It's hot today." After saying that, Gong Chen waved his hand and suddenly unfolded the folding fan, which contained a copy of calligraphy.

Cao Muwen said with a smile, "It's very hot today. People come and go here, and it seems even more sultry."

"I don't know why Brother Cao is here alone tonight?" Gong Chen asked curiously.

"Well, I'm naturally alone. Looking at the bright lights outside, it's so lively that I'm naturally embarrassed to sit alone in the room." Cao Muwen smiled and said.

Gong Chen looked very relaxed and said, "So do I. There is only one person on such a beautiful day."

Cao Muwen was a little disapproving when he heard this. Don't you still have an old friend? Of course, it is naturally impossible for him to mention Yuan Pingzhang, his big boss, but Gong Chen knew that Cao Muwen was also a brocade guard. It seems that he knows the content of Jinyiwei's position very well, and he naturally has no doubt when he met today.

"Oh?" Cao Muwen asked knowingly, "Brother Gong is also one person? I still don't know where the Gong brothers are? Since last time we hurried..." Cao Muwen thought to himself that Gong Chen should not be a brocade guard, but he didn't know how he met Yuan Pingzhang? And since he is not a brocade guard, looking at his appearance and posture, you can know at a glance that he is also a noble worker. Cao Muwen has a good question in his heart. What is the origin of this person? ...After meeting each other in a hurry, I haven't seen you for a long time. I'm a little curious, so I dared to ask. Although Cao Muwen is timid in his heart, his face does not change, and the timidity in his heart naturally cannot be leaked.

"Haha, what's wrong with Brother Cao asking?" Gong Chen looked relaxed and said with a smile, "Last time I met Brother Cao there, I naturally knew who you were?" You have such doubts, but it proves that you are a competent brocade guard.

Cao Muwen was naturally surprised when he heard this. Naturally, Gong Chen was not an ordinary person. Generally, if he knew that the person he was talking to was a brocade guard, there were few people who could still talk and laugh like this.

There is such an expression on my mind and on my face. The so-called face is born from the heart. Brother Cao, I know the questions in your heart. Gong Chen's cheeks curled slightly and smiled gently.

Cao Muwen hasn't recovered and understood the other party's words. Gong Chen said, "Brother Cao just listened to me, and naturally he was curious, because ordinary people can't be my reaction when they see Jin Yiwei, right? Brother Cao?" After saying that, before Cao Muwen could react, he pulled his sleeve and pulled it to one side, and said, "People come and go here. It's noisy. It's inconvenient for us to talk. Why don't we go here..." Cao Muwen led Cao Muwen to an open space planted with several trees, and there was no stall here. Gong Chen and Cao Muwen came here, and the latter was still confused. How could he take the initiative?

Gong Chen straightened his clothes and said seriously, "Brother Cao, we are also predestined. When I saw you before, although I knew you were a brocade guard, some of the reasons could not be clear... But..." Speaking here, Gong Chen turned around and said, "It's true. I can tell you, because even if we don't meet again today, you will know the day after tomorrow.

"What?" Cao Muwen was curious at this time and didn't know what medicine was bought in the other party's gourd. However, his heart also suddenly sank, because the day after tomorrow was the day when Cao Muwen and Qianhu met the people he met. Although this kind of handover has been done once, it is just a formality. The other party just explained to himself something that should be paid attention to in daily life, and nothing important happened. But the next meeting is really confidential, and it is difficult for others to know, unless... unless he is also one of his own?

Cao Muwen doubted his judgment just now. From the outside, Gong Chen doesn't look like a brocade guard.

"Haha, okay! Brother Cao, don't think nonsense." Gong Chen had a very self-restrained smile, and Cao Muwen had to ask, "Don't tell the truth. Please tell me how it is."

"Well, since Brother Cao asked. I said." Gong Chen said righteously, "I'm also a brocade guard."

Cao Muwen was shocked when he heard this, and his face also changed slightly. Gong Chen answered at this time, "Haha, Brother Cao seems to be a little beyond your expectation."

"Ah, it's natural. I really didn't think you were also a brocade guard." Cao Muwen said so.

At this time, the flow of people beside him seemed to suddenly increase. Gong Chen turned around slightly, took a look at the flow of people, and said, "That's right, Brother Cao. Soon after, fireworks were set off on the north coast. I heard that there are 200 hairs, and then it will be a beautiful scenery. Let's join in the fun. In fact, although I came out alone tonight, I just wanted to watch the bustle.

Cao Muwen was relieved to hear this and said, "Oh, so it is. I also plan to go and see when I come out at this time. In this case, I don't think it's early, but there are a lot of people now. If it's not early, I won't be able to catch up with a good position.

"Haha, what Brother Cao said." Gong Chen laughed and said. Let's talk as we walk. Let me explain it clearly to you."

"I can't ask for it." Cao Muwen is telling the truth, and he is really curious. Gong Chen is very strange. Cao Muwen may be a little neurotic, but from his own feeling, Gong Chen does not have a kind of temperament of... Jinyiwei, although it does not mean that Jinyiwei are all five or three rough., fierce and evil Shura, but...

"Hey! Brother Cao! Go here." Gong Chen suddenly patted Cao Muwen on the shoulder from behind and asked him. Only then did he find that he walked aside and almost hit the tree. Cao Muwen smiled in surprise, a little ashamed, and apologized, "I'm sorry to make you laugh. I was a little distracted just now.

Gong Chen didn't care and said, "Come with me and go this way." After saying that, Cao Muwen followed the flow of people slowly.

The two were speechless for a moment, and Cao Muwen began to think again. I remember that the first time I met Gong Chen was before the official office of Jinyiwei. At that time, Cao Muwen not only saw Gong Chen for the first time, but also came to the official office of Jinyiwei for the first time. After seeing Gong Chen for the first time, although he did not react for a moment, but after a moment, with his first feeling, Cao Muwen judged that this person was not a person in the Jinyiwei. If he said why, he naturally could not answer, and could only say it was a professional feeling.
