Chapter 130: I Didn't See Anything That Night
The three of them came to the Prime Minister's Mansion for the first time, so they naturally wanted to take a tour.
Lin Zhenliu subconsciously compared it with the Ducheng Mansion, and found that in addition to the scale of the Imperial Minister's Mansion, the decoration and ornaments inside were far from the same.
It's no wonder, after all, Lord Ducheng has a deep background, and Lord Yuxiang has only risen in recent years.
Ling Feiyu is the most well-informed, and he can naturally see that the Imperial Minister's Mansion is actually inconsistent with the high position that the Imperial Prime Minister is currently in, but it does not affect his interest in visiting, because the mountain is not high, and there are immortals! No matter how simple the Imperial Minister's Mansion is in his eyes, this is the Imperial Minister's Mansion after all, and the energy behind it is not something that can be reflected in the decoration and furnishings.
Liu Yanran has come all the way to this day as a casual cultivator, and her experience will only be more than Ling Feiyu's, but although the two of them have a wide range of knowledge, they are in different categories. So at this moment, Liu Yanran is also full of interest in the Imperial Prime Minister's Mansion, but she will not scream again and again.
Tian Ning introduced the three of them, "I have lived here since I was a child, even if my father later became the current imperial minister, he only expanded the mansion a little, so it is basically the same as it was at the beginning, and there is no change!"
As soon as Tianning said this, the three of them understood, no wonder the Imperial Prime Minister's Mansion looked so simple, it turned out that there was such a past!
Liu Yanran didn't see any other cultivators along the way, so she asked, "How many of us are there today?"
Tian Ning touched his head and said, "The other casual cultivators have already settled down, and a few of you are actually more likely to come as guests as my classmates, otherwise you also know that it is impossible to just invite the three of you." ”
Even if Tian Ning was talking to Lord Yuxiang, he still didn't understand the intentions of his father in his heart.
Liu Yanran nodded, pursed her lips and said, "I see!" It's just that everyone can see that she doesn't really believe that Lord Yuxiang would invite them over just for such a motive, even Tianning can't believe it.
Lin Zhenliu smiled at the corner of his mouth, he couldn't understand the careful thinking of Lord Yuxiang, but he didn't know what kind of opening would Lord Yuxiang?
Just thinking of this, the Imperial Prime Minister was already coming head-on, thin and slender, with a modest but strong face, not wearing an official uniform at this time, and looking as friendly as the uncle next door, if it weren't for Tianning's "Dad" called particularly kindly, the three of them would only think that this was the housekeeper of the Imperial Minister's Mansion.
On the dining table.
Lord Yuxiang warmly beckoned a few people to sit down, and from time to time he walked in front of everyone to say a few words, and only after everyone was seated did he choose the seat opposite Lin Zhenliu to sit down.
Before the food was served, the Lord of the Imperial Prime Minister was quite familiar with a few people in a few words, without the slightest self-confidence and arrogance of the Lord of the Imperial Minister, and it was completely a sense of the father of a classmate.
"Loose cultivation is amazing, there are also a lot of casual cultivators in my house, and they are all very good people!"
"By the way, Yanran, you look so delicate, do you have a good partner?"
"Feiyu, you, but you're stained with the light of loose cultivation, you have to work hard this time. ”
The Lord Yu Xiang has taken care of everyone, starting from Liu Yanran's place first, Liu Yanran is also very cooperative, happy for a while and shy for a while, no matter what the Lord Yu Xiang talks about that topic, his expression is very good, so that the atmosphere on this table has not been cold. When it came to Ling Feiyu, with the ridicule and jokes of Lord Yuxiang, the atmosphere was even more lively.
When the sumptuous dishes were almost served, everyone picked up the chopsticks, and after the Imperial Prime Minister took a bite of the meal, the bowls and chopsticks were gently put down, and his eyes swept over everyone and said with some emotion, "It's really fate to be able to sit here and eat with you, I didn't dare to think before, Tianning This kid can still be admitted to Zhongjing College, at that time, I thought about it, I tried it, and pushed him to participate in the selection in the back, you also know what Tianning is like, and I don't have hope......"
Tian Ning couldn't stand it anymore when he heard this, he was embarrassed, his fat face turned red, and he said, "Dad, how can there be such a harmful." ”
Lord Yuxiang laughed, and the rest of the people laughed too, Ling Feiyu laughed in the middle of it, and said a few good words to Tianning, which was actually not bad, so that Tianning felt better.
Lord Yuxiang looked around, and finally his eyes fell on Lin Zhenliu impartially, and said with a smile, "Later, I heard Tianning say that he has been with the right person since the beginning, so he was lucky enough to pass the selection of the academy, and his name seems to be Lin Zhenliu, right, is it you?"
Lin Zhenliu paused the hand of the vegetables, smiled slightly, sandwiched the cabbage into the bowl, stopped the chopsticks, and said a little flattered, "Eh, the adults are serious, it's right!"
"Eh, it's good to call you uncle, let the adults see more outside. According to the calculations, I'm probably only a few years older than your father, right?" Lord Yuxiang stared at Lin Zhenliu's face tightly, and then Tianning pulled him and said in a low voice, "Dad, Zhenliu is a loose cultivator, why did you ask about someone's father." ”
When Liu Yanran and Ling Feiyu heard this, after quickly picking up the chopsticks for the vegetables and rice, they also looked at the Lord Yuxiang in unison, and finally their eyes stopped on the face of Lin Zhenliu, who had always kept smiling, and they both felt that there was a deep meaning here.
Lin Zhenliu smiled slightly, and said, "Don't worry, don't hide it, I have lived with my master since I was a child, and I have been wandering around, so when Lord Yuxiang asks like this, I really can't answer, please don't blame." ”
When Lin Zhenliu said this, it made Lord Yuxiang embarrassed, and he hurriedly said with a smile, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm confused, and my brain sometimes can't turn around." ”
The people here are not easy to fool, so they naturally know that the Prime Minister is just looking for a pretext, if the Prime Minister is confused, then he is not the Prime Minister.
It's just that Lord Yuxiang still didn't give up, and continued to smile and said, "It's not easy for you to be a master, a famous teacher is a high apprentice, won't you be trained to be so good, when will you have the opportunity to introduce you to this prime minister?"
"I'm ashamed to say that after I can run and jump, the master has traveled all over the world, and I used to see each other every three or five times, for fear that I would starve to death, and then I saw that I was starving to death, so I saw less, and the last time I saw him, it was a few years ago. ”
It was originally a cruel past where those who heard it were sad and those who saw it wept, but in Lin Zhenliu's understatement, it only made people feel that Lin Zhenliu was extremely strong, no wonder he was able to reach the current height, it turned out that it relied on the tenacity and perseverance of this childhood experience, everything was already doomed!
Tian Ning pinched Lin Zhenliu's shoulder to show comfort.
Ling Feiyu didn't say a word, thoughtful.
Liu Yanran was a little more impressed by Lin Zhenliu, and her charming eyes often stayed on Lin Zhenliu, probably attracted by Lin Zhenliu's past.
Lord Mitsubia also nodded slowly at this time, and muttered, "So that's the case!"
Only Lin Zhenliu himself knows, in fact, he just talks casually.
Lord Mitsuri was silent for a moment, and continued to beckon everyone to drink and eat, "Don't stop, it's going to leave tomorrow, you have to eat and drink well." ”
"Dad, why are you saying this the same as seeing you off! There is no good wine and good food. Tianning shrank his head and said, sticking out his tongue after speaking, causing everyone to laugh again.
"The food outside can be compared with the food at home! You are all classmates of Tianning, if you don't dislike it, after returning from Zhou Guo, you often come to eat! Many people have more pairs of chopsticks, and it is also more lively. Mitsubi-sama said.
Ling Feiyu was the first to admit his feelings, "If Lord Yu said this, then we won't be polite!"
Lord Yuxiang had an expression that you said so much, and then smiled heartily, and once again put his eyes on Lin Zhenliu, and sighed, "There are so many people with the same name and surname in the world, classmate Zhenliu, among the cases that Uncle has been troubled about recently, there is a person with the same name as you, if I hadn't seen you with my own eyes, I would have almost thought it was the same person." ”
After saying this with a joking expression, his eyes were smiling at everyone on the surface, but in fact, his eyes were especially focused on Lin Zhenliu, even if it was just a flicker of the other party's eyes, Lord Miao's eyes had to catch it.
Tian Ning and Ling Feiyu didn't take it seriously, they just thought that Lord Yu Xiang was really joking, only Liu Yanran saw all this in her eyes, and glanced at Lin Zhenliu again with deep meaning, and drank the wine glass in her hand.
Lin Zhenliu took a chopstick dish, and after taking a bite of food, he also stared at the Imperial Prime Minister with an innocent face, and said, "It seems that the Imperial Prime Minister has been troubled by a lot of cases recently, if you don't mind, you might as well take this opportunity to spit out, maybe we young people can give you some inspiration." ”
It was easy to change the subject.
From the first time I saw Lin Zhenliu, all of the Imperial Minister's thoughts were actually on Lin Zhenliu, and even today's lunch was all for Lin Zhenliu, whether it was the opening set, or when the two of them were laughing at each other, the attention was actually on Lin Zhenliu. During the banquet, he chewed every word and every sentence that Lin Zhenliu said, trying to find some flaws from it, but unfortunately, it seemed that the young man in front of him, except for the coincidence of his name, seemed to have nothing in common in other places.
And from the beginning to the end, this young man has never shown the slightest fear or hesitation, everything is so natural!
Especially Lin Zhenliu's face, Lord Yuxiang looked at it very carefully, whether it was the bun, cheeks, or neck, all of them were thoroughly studied, but unfortunately, there was no flaw at all.
So much so that until now, he has been a little swaying, just thinking that it is a coincidence.
At this time, Baili Xi walked in from outside, and Lin Zhenliu was on the side of the door at the moment, so when Bai Li Xi walked in, he saw him at a glance, and his eyes couldn't help but have a very slight movement. Because of this leader of the soldiers, he chased him for almost the night that night.
Picked up a glass of wine and drank it slowly, which naturally had a bit of a sense of concealment. This is something that Lin Zhenliu didn't expect completely, he was only prepared to deal with the Imperial Prime Minister beforehand, but for Baili Xi, it is possible that he is negligent.
Lord Yuxiang stared at Lin Zhenliu from beginning to end, that is, when Baili Xi came in, his eyes moved away a little, but he soon thought of something, and when he moved to Lin Zhenliu again, he was already whispering and laughing with Liu Yanran beside him.
"This person who came in, it seems that you know him!" Liu Yanran whispered to Lin Zhenliu.
"If you don't know, don't talk nonsense!" Lin Zhenliu warned in a soft voice without moving.
Liu Yanran felt even more funny, looking at Lin Zhenliu like this, she was also quite happy, and then said, "Really, when this person appeared, your eyes were not very good." ”
Lin Zhenliu was shocked, he never thought that this woman would be so observant, and even the only extremely brief slight discoloration during his banquet could be noticed, which was really shocking. If that's the case, I'm afraid she already knows the fact that the Prime Minister is tempting.
"Say something when no one is around...... It's your favor!" Lin Zhenliu smiled, but said hatefully.
"Okay, good wine and good food, I haven't eaten enough yet!" Liu Yanran sat up straight, ate and drank again, and her appetite seemed to be better than just now.
"What are you talking about, so happy!" Tian Ning leaned over and asked, wanting to participate in one too, but naturally it turned out to be boring for himself.
Looking at Baili Xi's side again, after the leader of the soldiers came in, he also approached the ears of the Imperial Minister, and whispered, "The Ducheng Mansion also invited the three of them to dinner at night! ”
After the Prime Minister nodded to indicate that he knew, he asked Baili Xi to retreat. Baili Xi has never squinted, and naturally he didn't notice Lin Zhenliu at the banquet at this moment, even if he saw it, it was useless, after all, Lin Zhenliu's disguise technique could be regarded as the top in Zhongjing City!
In fact, if Baili Xi stood behind Lin Zhenliu at the moment, he would actually be able to recognize it, after all, in the rainy night when Liu Yiyi was captured, what Baili Xi could see from beginning to end was Lin Zhenliu's back. Judging from Baili Xi's cultivation and eyesight, it is not difficult to recognize Lin Zhenliu from the back.
It's just a pity that Baili Xi missed the perfect opportunity to recognize Lin Zhenliu, on the other hand, it can only be said that Lin Zhenliu is still a little lucky, otherwise he is sitting with his back to the direction where Bai Lixi came, maybe he will be handcuffed at this time.
Baili Xi missed it, but the news he brought made Lord Yuxiang have new thoughts about Lin Zhenliu again. He naturally knew that when Qin Caixia first returned to Ducheng Mansion yesterday, he had a quarrel with Lord Ducheng, and the name involving Lin Zhenliu was not an open secret, at that time he only thought that the name involved in the quarrel between Lord Ducheng's father and daughter was the same person as the person he was looking for at the moment.
But only now did he realize that that Lin Zhenliu might be the Lin Zhenliu in front of him.
It's just not right, if it's really this irrelevant Lin Zhenliu in front of him, then why is it necessary for Lord Du Cheng to invite him to dinner? There are only two things that can make Lord Du Cheng do this, one is that this person is really Lin Zhenliu, and Lord Du Cheng also needs to confirm it, and the other is that it is related to his precious daughter, so he has to do something.
Lord Ducheng does not have any weaknesses in his life, but Lord Yu Xiang sees it very accurately, and his daughter, Qin Caixia, is his weakness, and it can also be said to be the only weakness.
If you can make Lord Ducheng do something unexpected, think about Qin Caixia first, and you won't deviate too much.
The driver smiled with this, and said, "Sometimes fate is really ingenious, Tianning has great luck, inherited your blessings, and was able to enter Zhongjing College, and become classmates with everyone here, it is actually quite wonderful to think about it." ”
Ling Feiyu responded with a haha on the side, and the Imperial Prime Minister continued, "What's even more coincidental is that the children of the two ministers who served His Majesty the Emperor in the current dynasty have also become classmates, but you don't have to mind, although I am a colleague with Lord Ducheng, and occasionally I will disagree and fight for a few words, but it is not as good as my children, so you should not have any other opinions, just treat them equally." ”
The Prime Minister can be said to have a very low posture, and he said these words completely as an elder, in which he downplayed the relationship with Lord Ducheng, and taught young people to intersect on an equal footing, which is also admirable.
During the banquet, the three of them, including Lin Zhenliu, after hearing the words of Lord Yuxiang, also sincerely persuaded him not to worry too much, whether it was other classmates or Lord Ducheng's daughter, everyone got along very well, and there was no time for disputes.
However, although the words were so echoed, what Lin Zhenliu was thinking in his heart was why the Imperial Prime Minister suddenly mentioned Lord Ducheng? As soon as this idea arose, the Imperial Prime Minister told him the answer, and at this time, the Imperial Prime Minister looked at Lin Zhenliu and asked with some jokingness
"I heard that classmate Zhenliu and Lord Ducheng's daughter, Qin Caixia is here? ”
The words were not shocking, and when the Prime Minister asked these words, everyone at the banquet was stunned. Liu Yanran looked at Lin Zhenliu with an incredulous expression, thinking that he still had such a relationship with Lord Ducheng?
Ling Feiyu was turning his head quickly on the side, he completely took the words of the Imperial Prime Minister seriously, so at this moment, thinking about all the moments of contact between Lin Zhenliu and Qin Caixia that he knew, he said with interest
"I can't see it, Brother Zhenliu still has such ability...... Shhhh ”
Every time Liu Yanran heard Ling Feiyu say something, her mood felt a little worse.
Lin Zhenliu was extremely helpless, how did this style of painting become so fast, and all the topics came to him all of a sudden? And how did the Imperial Prime Minister know that he really had something to do with Qin Caixia? This is just the beginning, and it was discovered? Such an underground affair is also buried too shallow, right?
After thinking about it, Lin Zhenliu found that the culprit was Tian Ning's body, and in the past few days, only Tian Ning had bumped into Qin Caixia when he informed him to attend the banquet.
It must have been that time, Lin Zhenliu, who was a little embarrassed by Lord Yuxiang and Ling Feiyu, moved his gaze to Tianning's body without smiling at this moment, Tianning was startled for a moment, knowing that this was Lin Zhenliu who wanted to ask the teacher to ask for the guilt, but the sky can be learned, he Tianning swore with a fat body, he really didn't reveal the relationship between the two at all, even his father didn't say it.
But how could my father know so cleverly? It really made Tianning a little speechless and anxious. In a hurry, under the pressure of Lin Zhenliu's gaze, Tianning blurted out, "Dad, I haven't told you yet, how do you know about this?"
Originally, the people in the banquet were just half-joking, but when Tian Ning asked these words, the people in the banquet were all stunned, including the imperial minister, and they also looked at their uncompetitive son in disbelief, could this kid know this? Could it be that he guessed correctly?
Lord Yuxiang actually didn't know about Lin Zhenliu and Qin Caixia, but when Baili Xi told him the news that Lord Ducheng had also invited the three people to dinner, he speculated that this matter might have something to do with Qin Caixia, so he casually tried it, but he didn't want the main lord to not speak, but his son first admitted the matter in disguise, how could he not be shocked?
Lin Zhenliu shook his head speechlessly, thinking in his heart that the fat man was unreliable after all, and his mouth was too unreliable.
As soon as Tian Ning finished speaking, after feeling the strange atmosphere in the banquet, he realized that he had said the wrong thing, and couldn't help but cry and slap his mouth with a sad face, "I'm too talkative, I'm sorry you are so good, I shouldn't have said this...... Ahh......h Don't get me wrong, I didn't see anything that night......"
The more Tian Ning said, the more outrageous it became, and the word "that night" came out, and everyone here couldn't get it wrong.
"Wow!"
Ling Feiyu was very shocked, and was impressed by Lin Zhenliu again, if he had only admired Lin Zhenliu in cultivation before, then now, he had some sincere admiration from the inside out, Lord Ducheng's daughter had all started it, and it was still when God was unaware, this was really not something anyone could do. Besides, what kind of character Qin Caixia is, Ling Feiyu also knows, a proper iceberg beauty, don't get close to the living!
However, even this was captured by Lin Zhenliu, and he couldn't admire it.
Liu Yanran discovered the aroma of the wine, and she swallowed one cup after another.
Originally, Lord Yu Xiang was just choosing one of the two to test Lin Zhenliu, but at this time, he also deviated from the gossip revealed by Tianning? Fortunately, the performance was not so obvious.
I think that although I think so, the shrewd and surprised eyes of Lord Yuxiang still fall on Lin Zhenliu impartially.
Tian Ning consciously said that there were many mistakes, and at this time he had already closed his mouth, picked up the bowl one after another, raised his head to pick up the rice, and pretended not to know anything.
The banquet suddenly fell silent, and his eyes fell on Lin Zhenliu, as if they were all asking if there was anything else you wanted to say?
