After a while, nothing big happened.

In the blink of an eye, the last day of the first year of Yongle arrived.

Every household is decorated with lights and decorations, with red lanterns hanging and red couplets pasted, making it fun and lively.

Qin Feng's family is no exception.

Early in the morning, the servants began to slaughter pigs and sheep, sweep the courtyard, decorate them, and prepare New Year's Eve dinner.

This is his first year of moving to his new home, so it must not be too shabby.

I worked hard all morning and invited the servants to have a meal together at noon, and then sent them back.

The Chinese New Year is about reunion. He has nothing to do here, and it is useless to keep these people. It is better to give them a chance to go home and reunite.

Qin Feng and Qin Li took a maid to have the New Year’s Eve dinner, set off firecrackers, made a pair of poker, and kept the night, and didn’t sleep until dawn.

Learning from last year's lesson, Qin Feng did not leave much meat after slaughtering pigs and sheep. He left forty or fifty kilograms, and all the rest was distributed to the servants.

Starting from the second day of the Chinese New Year, the daily meals at home returned to normal.

In order not to affect the fifteenth day of the first lunar month due to eating weight, we have to keep our diet lighter in recent times.

Qin Li's family was naturally unaware of what Qin Feng would do on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. Because Qin Feng's wealth became increasingly strong, he could eat meat at any time on weekdays. When Qin Feng kept his diet light, he didn't deliberately pick it up for Qin Feng.

I stayed at home for a day, and planned to stay with Zeng Qi and his men in the third year of junior high school.

After all, he is going up and watching more, even if something really happens, he will not regret it even at the last moment of his life.

Unexpectedly, on the night of the second day of the lunar month, Zhu Gaoxu sent someone over and said that he wanted Qin Feng to invite him to dinner.

Who can come to the door for someone to invite to dinner? Zhu Gaoxu is definitely the first person.

No matter what, Zhu Gaoxu had already spoken. Qin Feng must have responded. He could only instruct the kitchen at home to prepare big fish and meat.

Even if you are tired of this, you still have to prepare. Zhu Gaoxu will be a prince in the future and you can't offend him no matter how you say it.

It was not dark on the night of the third day of the Chinese New Year, so Zhu Gaoxu was wearing military uniforms and riding a horse to lead a few personal soldiers.

He ordered his servants to take their personal soldiers, and Qin Feng led Zhu Gaoxu to the main hall.

Good tea served and warm hospitality.

Zhu Gaoxu could even ask Qin Feng to invite him to drink. He was a person who was not particular about the details and did not have much requirement for eating and drinking.

The two first chatted in the front hall for a long time, and then moved to the dining room until the meal was ready.

Although there is only Zhu Gaoxu, the standard of eight cold and eight heat has not been reduced. Each plate has all the colors, fragrance and smell, which makes people have a lot of appetite.

Qin Feng invited Zhu Gaoxu to sit down, and then some servants poured wine.

There was no one who brought the other, and they each drank their own. After three rounds of wine, Qin Feng was a little drunk.

Zhu Gaoxu finally had a few bowls of wine.

At this time, he slapped the bowl in his hand on the table and said, "I heard you made a bet with Chen Ying?"

Chen Ying clings to Zhu Gaoxu, and it is not surprising that Zhu Gaoxu can know the news.

Qin Feng nodded and responded with a smile: "It's because of this. In front of His Majesty, he was talking so quickly."

Since he and Chen Ying couldn't pee in the same pot, it was inevitable that they would compete openly and secretly.

The bet I made was just aligned with what both parties thought.

Zhu Gaoxu made a drink and waved his hand and said, "I'll go find Chen Ying. Before the meeting started, I took this bet. How could you be compared with Chen Ying when you were born in a wild way? Even if you find a Juren who was a disciple, how could you really pass the Jinshi exam and lose the bet with Chen Ying. In the future, you will be less troublesome to Chen Ying. With this name on your back, your career will be much more difficult."

Those who lose the bet will definitely lose all their faces, but it may not necessarily be him who loses it.

Qin Feng hurriedly stopped Zhu Gaoxu's kindness and said, "A gentleman's words are as good as possible. A real man is spitting and a nail in his life. Since the bet he has set can be changed just by saying it. If the minister loses, then he will admit it, let alone the minister still has some confidence."

You can't say it's too deadly, otherwise he will not only make Zhu Gaoxu feel sad, but also offend him completely.

Unfortunately, Zhu Gaoxu did not believe in Qin Feng.

After Qin Feng expressed his opinion, Zhu Gaoxu waved his hand and said, "What kind of science do you use to recruit scholars to become disciples? Those scholars read the Four Books and Five Classics. How many people can accept your scientific knowledge? The father asked you to teach Zhanji, but it was just to let Zhanji master more skills. In addition, the boy Zhanji is smart enough to take care of both, so how can ordinary scholars take care of it?

The fat man is a typical example of doing one thing. You have made such a big flirt for his son. In order to avoid suspicion and not criticize, he doesn't even dare to say something and can't count on him to solve the problem. I'm not afraid. I'll go to Chen Ying and let him withdraw his bet with you."

He has hope of winning, why should he withdraw?

Qin Feng directly and clearly understood and stopped him, saying, "Your Highness, I don't have to lose if I have a few disciples."

Zhu Gaoxu didn't listen to Qin Feng. He didn't say much, and just got up and left, unable to stop him.

On the other hand, because the two families lived not far away, when Zhu Gaoxu went to Qin Feng's house, Chen Ying had already received the news.

Even if Qin Feng is really in the same camp as him, don't expect their hostile relationship to ease.

As long as Qin Feng is still active in the court, Chen Ying will feel that it was Qin Feng who snatched his son.

Chen Shuo gave Chen Ying a cup of tea and asked in confusion: "The crown prince will be enthroned sooner or later. The third prince is young, and the position is either the eldest son or the second prince. Qin Feng, who is the eldest son of the emperor, is also quite close to the second prince. Where should he stand on?"

Just looking at the surface, it is true that Qin Feng supports whom he is in the position of crown prince.

Chen Ying took the teacup and said, "The villain at both ends of the head rat is just unwilling to give up. At that time, both sides will not please each other, and he will only suffer the consequences of the bamboo basket."

In fact, the most taboo thing at this time is that either Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Gaoxu do not contact each other. If you really can’t avoid contact, you can only contact both sides.

Impartial, it's the same for everyone.

Chen Shuo nodded and agreed.

After pausing, Chen Ying then said: "I won the bet by him. Regardless of whether he fulfilled his promise, it will not only be difficult for him to stay in the court again in the future, but also be afraid it will be difficult for him to stay in Beijing again. It won't take long for anyone to remember who he is.

Qin Feng is just a passerby. If you want to live in the temple, you have to rely on yourself. Don’t slack off these days. If you have fame and fortune, I will help you to use it as a simple and early one. It won’t take long to spread a good story about father and son serving as officials in the same court.”

As he was talking, a disciple hurriedly came to report, saying, "Master, the second prince is here."

In a moment, Zhu Gaoxu entered the door.

Chen Shuo and Zhu Gaoxu left after greeting each other.

After Chen Shuo left, Zhu Gaoxu immediately spoke up to explain the situation.

Zhu Gaoxu was a straightforward person, and he spoke naturally.

It is easy to say this without any modification after coming out of Qin Feng. It is because Qin Feng knew that he was going to lose the bet and invited Zhu Gaoxu to be a lobbyist.

Zhu Gaoxu should have given face, but the conflicts between Chen Ying and Qin Feng were one by one. Finally, I could see that Qin Feng was defeated and could not give up easily.

It is just that offending Zhu Gaoxu may be unfavorable for his own future.

Since there is one chance to deal with Qin Feng, there is no need to worry about not having a second time.

After a brief consideration, Chen Ying took a step back and said, "As soon as your highness spoke, I should obey it, but this bet was made in front of His Majesty. If you give up suddenly, you would be suspected of deceiving the emperor. After the results were released, I took the initiative to cancel the bet I talked to Qin Shi."

At that time, canceling the bet will only show Chen Ying's generosity, and Qin Feng will just lose a little less face.

Zhu Gaoxu came to find Chen Ying but did not ask Chen Ying to make a fuss after the incident, but Zhu Gaoxu was not a person who was dragging on the slut. Since he couldn't understand Chen Ying, he didn't plan to continue.

If that is the case, it would be better to help Qin Feng look for a juren.

Even if the bet is cancelled afterwards, it will be for someone who can give him face.

That is, Chen Ying belongs to his own camp, and he still needs him in the fight for the throne.

Otherwise, the person who dared to reject him would have taken action long ago.

He couldn't get the desired result from Chen Ying, and Zhu Gaoxu didn't even have a cup of tea, and left with a cold snorted.

It was not until Zhu Gaoxu left that Chen Shuo appeared.

"Dad, the second prince said this at this time, Qin Feng admitted his fault. He invited the second prince to dinner, afraid that it was just to let the second prince be a lobbyist?"

Anyone who thinks about this is what he thinks about.

Without waiting for Chen Ying to respond, Chen Shuo said again: "It's just that my father didn't agree to the second prince. The second prince is afraid that he will be unhappy. Isn't this bad?"

Chen Ying's reason is not far-fetched, it is still a thing of the past.

There are also people who can persuade Zhu Gaoxu. When they know the cause and effect of the matter, someone will persuade him.

Chen Ying suddenly canceled the bet when he made a bet in front of Zhu Di, and someone must have worked hard from it.

Zhu Di didn't like the people below to make small moves, not to mention that he was watching this matter, so he didn't like someone to take action.

After understanding this, Zhu Gaoxu will at least not blame Chen Ying too much.

In fact, the most important thing is that although Chen Ying is in Zhu Gaoxu's camp, he cooperates more than those who depend on it.

No matter what, Zhu Di is very powerful and powerful. Even if Zhu Gaoxu became the crown prince, it would have been decades before he ascended the throne.

And in the past few decades, if Zhu Gaoxu wants to maintain his position as crown prince, he still has to rely on someone like Chen Ying.

Therefore, you cannot generally offend Chen Ying's attachment.

Chen Ying was a little proud and proud, and said, "It is true that we are dependent on the second prince, but the second prince also needs us. There are mostly military generals around the second prince, and only civil officials can make efforts on the issue of crown prince. As long as we are useful, there is nothing suitable or not."

Chen Shuo responded and said angrily in regret: "The eldest son of the emperor is unwilling to accept his father, so let him go back later."

The Zuodu Censor is no less than the Six Ministers of the Secretariat, but Zhu Gaochi was extremely cold and did not say anything and treated each other enthusiastically, and could not even treat each other ordinary people.
