Chapter 56: Cited by the Jade Pendant
The lord was promoted to the rank of official, and he leaped all the way to become a three-grade civil official, and he was proud, and every day there were many officials who came forward to congratulate each other, and talked and laughed with each other with some compliments, which shortened the distance between each other, and after a few days, he had become one with the officials of the current dynasty, and every day was full of joy.
One day, after the morning dynasty dispersed, a father-in-law blocked his way, and said with a humble smile: Lord Liu, King Qi invites you to talk.
Lord Liu smiled and said: My father-in-law is invited. Immediately, he was led by his father-in-law to the imperial study. The father-in-law entered the hall and stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, Lord Liu is here." Yu Xuan listened and nodded. When the father-in-law saw this, he went out and led the Lord Liu in.
As soon as Lord Liu came in, he knelt down and shouted after taking a few steps: Weichen see King Qi!
Yu Xuan was reviewing the recital, listened to the words, put down the pen and ink, and looked up at the people below. Smiled: Your Excellency, please get up.
When Lord Liu heard this, he quickly got up and stood there with his head bowed. Yu Xuan said: Please come today, adults should know what's going on.
Lord Liu hurriedly said: Weichen doesn't know.
Yu Xuan sneered: When did the adults become confused! I forgot the fold I asked someone to send a few days ago?
Hearing this, Lord Liu fell to his knees in a panic. Said: Weichen knows, thank you King Qi!
Yu Xuan said: Then let's talk about the jade pendant. Where did you get it?
Lord Liu didn't hear what he said to get up, so he didn't dare to get up, so he had to kneel and obey all the time. Although he knew in his heart that it was a matter of jade pendant, he made a fool of himself. Hearing this at this moment, he hurriedly replied: The jade pendant was obtained by a yamen in the palace. On that day, it was said that a thief stole it from a boy in the market. I don't think the jade pendant looks like a vulgar thing, it doesn't look like something they use, so it was presented.
Yu Xuan said: Where is that son from?
Liu Dadao: It is the Ren family of Qingshui Street.
Yu Xuan said: Okay, you go down.
After hearing this, Lord Liu quickly got up and retreated. Then he said to the eunuch on the side: Go and invite Lu Shui.
The eunuch said "no" and withdrew. It didn't take long for the landing water to come. Lu Shui followed his father-in-law into the imperial study, stepped forward and bowed: See King Qi.
When Yu Xuan saw him coming, he asked the father-in-law to go down, leaving the two of them here. Lu Shui said first: Hurry to let me come, what's the matter?
Yu Xuan took out the jade pendant from his arms and showed it to Lu Shui. Lu Shui took it forward, looked at it carefully, and said: Isn't this what your father rewarded you? It seems that you fell off when you went to Donglin Courtyard six years ago, and after many years, how did you find it?
Yu Xuan Dao: It was presented by an official lord.
Lu Shui said narrowly: That adult is not ordinary. Tell me, what do you do with him?
Yu Xuan sneered: Tell me, how did I do it?
Lu Shui pondered carefully for a moment, and then said with a smile: I originally wanted to make a joke of you, why did it fall on my head? As he was speaking, he saw Yu Xuan looking at him with a smile, and continued: Okay! I see that the lord has made such a move, but he wants to win the throne, and since the Lord of Qi has guessed his thoughts, in order not to chill the man's heart, he thinks that he has been promoted to an official. Am I right?
Yu Xuan said: "Morning Dew" is not in vain! Then do you know that this jade pendant was not lost unintentionally, but I gave it to a little girl intentionally.
Hearing this, Lu Shui exclaimed: You actually gave this jade pendant to a little girl! This is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard.
Yu Xuan said: I want you to do something.
Lu Shui smiled weakly: Okay, the king of Qi has an order, and Weichen listens to it.
Yu Xuan smiled: It's just for you to check, for you, it's just a trivial matter.
Lu Shuidao: What to check?
Yuxuan Zhengse Road: Qingshui Street, Ren's family.
Lu Shuidao: I understand, King Qi asked clearly, and this time he called me to run errands.
Yu Xuan said: I can only leave this matter to someone I trust.
Lu Shuidao: Okay, wait for my good news. After speaking, he put down the jade pendant and went out. Yu Xuan took the jade pendant and put it away again.
After Lu Shui returned home, he sent someone to look for it according to the address, find out who the family was, and record the detailed identity. After the next person left, he lay on the couch, stretched his body, and suddenly remembered the "Ren family" in his mind, as if Qing'er was surnamed Ren, but he didn't know where he lived. I couldn't help but think of Qingqing at that time, dressed in men's clothes, without powder, with eyes like black paint, face like frost and snow, and lips like delicate flowers. The mind is chaotic, thinking that there are countless beauties around him, all of them are as gorgeous as flowers, but she is the only one who is different.
Although the Ren family has no power in Xifeng, few people know about it. But because of this, if you go to investigate, it will be clear in a while, and even the identity information of the housekeepers, little girls and others will be written down one by one. The subordinates of the Lu Mansion got this, and they went all the way back to the mansion to resume their lives.
Lu Shui fell asleep for a while, and was woken up by the people who came back. He rubbed his eyes and said lazily: How is it?
The subordinate took the information sheet with both hands and said, "It's done." The family was from the Hilly Country, and the old man had come here to do business.
Lu Shui took it and looked. It clearly states all the shops of Ren Guiping in Xifeng, as well as things at home. Lu Shui looked down slowly, remembering that Ren Guiping had a daughter named "Qingqing". Lu Shui silently recited his name in his heart. Then I looked down, but it was useless. But the confusion in his heart continued, and he threw away the paper in his hand and shouted: Go and find the person I sent to invite a young lady last time.
When the subordinate saw the master throwing the paper, he couldn't help but take a step back, and his expression was a lot more panicked. Listening to what the master said, he couldn't react for a while, so he quickly replied: Yes. and withdrew. Just like an ant on a hot pot, when he was in a hurry, one of them stepped forward and patted him on the head, and said, "That's the time when Qunfangju lived!"
The original day. He smiled and thanked him, and then hurried to find someone. When someone came to him, he saw that the master was sitting there sullenly, and he didn't dare to go too far, so he said: Young master, someone has brought it.
Lu Shui opened his eyes, looked at the person who came, and asked, "Miss Ren who asked you to invite that day, do you remember?"
Someone replied: Yes.
Lu Shuidao: Okay, then you sue me, where does Miss Ren's family live?
Come to the humanitarian: Qingshui Street, Ren's family.
Hearing this, Lu Shui sneered and sighed softly. After a while, he said, "It's all right, you all go down."
She didn't give up, but if she knew, what could she do? Just as he was distracted, a small guy outside came in and shouted: "Young master, the girl from Yihong Courtyard, please go!"
Lu Shui replied: Prepare the sedan chair, I'll go.
The little girl said: The girl sent a sedan chair, and the young master went immediately.
Immediately, Lu Shui went to the door and got into the sedan chair. From time to time, I entered the hibiscus tent to warm up and spend a good night together, which is indispensable for the joy of fish and water.
