Chapter 63: Matchmaking

On this day, Zhu Shiyang was still worried about Fu Qian's peace in his heart, and got up and left the palace after dealing with government affairs. At this time, it was dusk, and the streets in Beijing were very lively, and Zhu Shiyang struggled all the way, until he reached Fu's mansion.

Zhu Shiyang was born to be a peugeot, and his behavior was particularly domineering, and the family in the Fu Mansion had already remembered him well, and when he saw him coming from afar, he ran into the mansion to report it. Lu Wenyuan quickly greeted him, Zhu Shiyang looked left and right, but he didn't see Fu Qian's shadow, he couldn't help but be a little strange, and asked, "Where did Fu Qian go?"

Lu Wenyuan just said: "Master Fu has an important document to deal with, so he went to the lobby of the official department, and he can't come back until dinner."

Lu Wenyuan wore a light-colored homely dress embroidered with dark lines today, which was a little less domineering in the officialdom, but set off his quiet and indifferent nature to the extreme. Zhu Shiyang likes it and is straight and fresh.

After a few gossips between the two, Zhu Shiyang remembered the purpose of this visit, and asked straight to the point: "These days, I want you to observe Fu Qian and Ping An in secret, but what do you gain?"

Lu Wenyuan nodded and said, "Yes." When the minister didn't pay attention to it before, he didn't think it, but now when he paid attention to it, he found that he usually cleaned the room, served tea and poured water, and sent snacks to eat, all of which were given to Master Fu first and then to the minister. And he couldn't stay in the minister's room for a while and was in a hurry to leave, but he stayed in Master Fu's room for half a day. ”

Zhu Shiyang's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said, "You didn't go over to hear what they were doing in the room?"

Lu Wenyuan's face turned red, and he snorted: "This ......"

Zhu Shiyang was so angry that he said: "Alas, it's useless!" After regretting it for a while, he gradually calmed down and thought: "But now that it's like this, there's no need to look at it anymore." Ping An has repeatedly hidden your things, just to stay with Fu Qian for a while longer, and Fu Qian must also be interested in Ping An. This matter has to be broken sooner or later, otherwise if you continue to mess around like this, when will you be able to move into the Lu Mansion?"

Lu Wenyuan nodded and said, "The minister thinks so too." If he insists on keeping peace by his side, even if he moves into the Lu Mansion in the future, he will probably be in Cao Ying's heart in Han, so it is better to be a favor and fulfill him and Master Fu. As long as the two of them can be sincere to each other, it is not a good thing. ”

Zhu Shiyang didn't expect him to be so conscious, and said with a look of approval: "There is a way for a gentleman to have the beauty of an adult, and I am very pleased that Lu Qing can have such an awareness." I am also here today, so I will personally be a big media for the two of them, what does Lu Qing think?"

Lu Wenyuan hugged his fists and smiled: "This is very good." The minister first thanked the emperor for Lord Fu and peace. ”

Fu Qian finally returned to the mansion before dinner. Zhu Shiyang listened to him explain the truth of the matter, and praised him for being competent and conscientious, and he was a rare good official in the DPRK. Fu Qian has never received such a high evaluation since he became an official, and he is very excited, but he just said that this feng shui will take turns to come to my house this year.

The four people in the house ate together. The cook in Fu's house has been asked to learn to cook imperial food in the palace in the past three days, and his skills have been refined a lot. Only Zhu Shiyang was anxious, and he didn't know what dishes he had in his chopsticks, so he just wanted to ask Fu Qian and Ping'an about the matter between them. Lu Wenyuan secretly stopped him a few times, just because of this matter, it was not big or small, and it was a little inappropriate to talk about it at the dinner table, so he had to choose another solemn occasion. Zhu Shiyang had no choice but to give up.

After dinner, Lu Wenyuan felt that the time had come, but Fu Qian and Ping'an were gone. Zhu Shiyang felt strange, and led Lu Wenyuan to turn the Fu Mansion up and down, and finally found the two in front of the flower garden outside the safe house.

At this time, it was already dark, and Fu Qian and Ping'an were discussing something in a low voice with their backs to them. Lu Wenyuan recklessly stepped forward to talk, but Zhu Shiyang calmed down this time, pulled him back with one hand, and said, "Don't worry, listen to what they say first." ”

The two crept a few steps, hiding behind the nearest pillar, and listened quietly. As the Son of Heaven, Zhu Shiyang rarely does these sneaky things on weekdays, but at this time, he is much more excited than Lu Wenyuan, and his eyes are spinning.

Lu Wenyuan looked at it and wanted to laugh, but he heard Fu Qian's peaceful voice clearly, Fu Qian seemed to be a little annoyed, lowered his voice and said: "You don't listen to let you return the things quickly, it's good now, the emperor is here again today." ”

When Zhu Shiyang heard that it had something to do with him, he hurriedly pricked up his ears, and said peacefully and aggrievedly: "But I saw that the emperor was smiling and groaning when he came up, and it didn't look like he came to urge the young master to move." ”

Fu Qian sighed and said, "What does the emperor think will be light for you to see? Maybe it will be a gentle drizzle when you come today, and it will be a storm when you come tomorrow." Your master is now above 10,000 people under one person, and the emperor is staring at him closely, even if you hide all his things, you have to move into the Lu Mansion. I think you should find out Duan Yan as soon as possible, and wait for your master to move over quickly. Tell me, where did you hide the inkstone?"

When the two behind the pillars heard this, they guessed the matter. It turned out that Fu Qian thought that the emperor came today to urge Lu Wenyuan to move, but he was afraid that something would go wrong if he delayed any longer, so he forced Ping An to ask him to take out Duan Yan. The two of them cautiously poked their heads out at this time to take a look, and sure enough, they saw Ping'an's reluctance, Fu Qian gently pushed him twice, and then he raised his hand and pointed to the flower garden in front of him.

Fu Qian didn't understand what he meant, rummaged through the flowers, but found nothing, and when he looked back, Ping'an said sullenly behind him: "It's buried in the soil." Fu Qian was angry and funny, and told him to wait where he was, and he went to the front yard to find the flower shovel that the family wanted to dig up.

After a while, Fu Qian came back with a flower shovel, and pouted in front of the flower garden with Ping'an to dig up the soil. Zhu Shiyang signaled to Lu Wenyuan, and the two flashed out from behind the pillars and quietly approached the two. The two of them were digging in the dirt, and they didn't hear the footsteps behind them.

Zhu Shiyang waited behind them for a while, and when he saw that the corner of the inkstone wrapped in silk cloth was finally revealed in the soil, he straightened up and cleared his throat.

Fu Qian was really startled, the flower shovel in his hand fell into the flower garden with a "dang long", and Ping An also turned around suddenly, looking at Zhu Shiyang speechless. Zhu Shiyang looked proud, raised his eyebrows at Lu Wenyuan, Lu Wenyuan squeezed in from between the two, pulled out the Duan Yan in the soil, took it in his hand and looked at it over and over again, and pretended to be surprised: "Huh, isn't this my Duan Yan? Why did you come here?" and turned to Ping An and said, "Ping An, didn't you say it was lost?"

Ping An Rao was bold, and he couldn't help but panic at this time, and he snorted for a long time before saying, "Yes...... I lost it, but now I've found it again. ”

Lu Wenyuan said: "This is strange, this inkstone was obviously lost from the desk, but when I found it, it was in the soil, could it be that I ran away with long legs?"

Ping An had never seen his master like this, and he couldn't figure out his mind for a while, so he had to look at Fu Qian for help. Fu Qian was scared of being cleaned up by the emperor before, but now when he saw the emperor, his legs were weak, and he hurriedly pulled Ping An to kneel by the flower garden, and then bowed his head and said: "Back to the emperor, this is ...... This inkstone is hidden here. ”

Zhu Shiyang and Lu Wenyuan glanced at each other knowingly, and said with a smile: "Oh?

Fu Qian couldn't answer now. It's just because he is in a hurry to apologize for peace, and now that the emperor asks about it, he can't think of the wording for a while, and it can't be said that it is to drag Lu Wenyuan and prevent him from moving into the Lu Mansion. Fu Qian knelt on the ground and trembled, holding back his head in a cold sweat, before he reluctantly said: "Go back to the emperor, minister...... Guilty. The minister saw that Lord Lu's inkstone was very good, so he had a bad heart and secretly hid it here, wanting to take it for himself. The minister was confused for a while and was willing to be punished, but a qiē has nothing to do with peace, please don't embarrass the emperor and Lord Lu. As he spoke, he fell on the ground and prostrated repeatedly.

Zhu Shiyang and Lu Wenyuan didn't expect him to be like this, and they were a little stunned for a while. Ping An also looked at Fu Qian speechless. After a while, as if he had determined something, he knelt forward and said, "Your Majesty, this matter has nothing to do with Master Fu, it's me ......."

Before he finished speaking, Fu Qian grabbed his sleeve and asked him to shut up. Ping'an pushed his hand away, and said righteously: "It was the little one who hid the master's inkstone, just to drag it and prevent the master from moving to the Lu Mansion." One qiē has nothing to do with Master Fu, Lord Fu said that because he wanted to take a small blame, please don't listen to his words. ”

Fu Qian was anxious, but Zhu Shiyang pretended to be very interested and asked, "You said that you don't want Lu Wenyuan to move into the Lu Mansion, why is this?"

Ping An glanced at Fu Qian, Fu Qian lowered his head and did not speak. Ping'an replied stubbornly: "Back to the emperor, the little one ...... Got along with Master Fu and was reluctant to leave Fu's mansion. He also said: "The matter of the Tibetan master Duanyan is my own idea, and it has nothing to do with Master Fu, on the contrary, Lord Fu is digging with me in order to persuade me not to do this." My master was also deceived, so he didn't move into the Lu Mansion all the time. If the emperor wants to punish me, he will punish me alone. With that, he knelt on the ground and hung his head and waited for it to fall.

After waiting for a long time, Zhu Shiyang and Lu Wenyuan didn't make a sound. Ping An boldly looked up, and saw that one of them had a gentle face, and there was no anger at all, and one of them had a seven-point smile on his lips. Ping'an was shocked and suspicious, stretched out his hand to push Fu Qian, and asked him to look up together, but Fu Qian dared to look up, so he heard Zhu Shiyang laugh and said: "It's better to be safe and honest." Fu Qian, you don't have to hide it anymore, I already knew about the matter between you and Ping'an. ”

Fu Qian raised his head and glanced at Zhu Shiyang in surprise. Lu Wenyuan saw that he was shocked, and he couldn't bear to help Zhu Shiyang embarrass him anymore, so he told him how to overhear the conversation between the two in the small courtyard before.

Fu Qian was shocked and embarrassed when he heard this, and he fell to the ground and sighed repeatedly, not knowing what to think. Zhu Shiyang asked, "Are you two sincere to each other?"

Fu Qian was stunned for a moment, looked up at each other with Ping'an, and nodded again and again. Zhu Shiyang said again: "Fu Qian, you are a member of the first rank of the dynasty, but Ping'an is just a small servant of Lu Wenyuan, won't you dislike his lowly status?"

Fu Qian looked at Ping An, and Ping An looked unconvinced. Fu Qian smiled and shook his head.

Zhu Shiyang asked Ping'an again: "Are you greedy for Fu Qian's wealth to make friends with him?"

Ping'an said: "What the emperor said, my master's official position and salary, which is not higher than him? I also went to the Lu Mansion a few days ago to see it, and it is more than twice as big as the Fu Mansion. If I covet wealth and don't move into the Lu Mansion earlier, why bother in vain in this Tibet?"

Ping An was also too honest, Fu Qian and Lu Wenyuan had a big red face for a while, and they didn't dare to look at each other in embarrassment. Zhu Shiyang laughed and said, "It is reasonable, it is reasonable." In this case, I will let you follow Fu Qian, and save you from dragging your master to prevent him from moving. As he spoke, he looked at Lu Wenyuan and said, "Lu Wenyuan, what do you say?"

Lu Wenyuan smiled warmly: "This is very good. Peace, in the future, you will stay in the Fu Mansion and wait for Lord Fu to send you. ”

Without peace dragging his feet, Lu Wenyuan quickly moved into a new house. On the day of entering the Lu Mansion, Zhu Shiyang also ran out of the palace to join in the fun, and the group set off firecrackers in front of the Lu Mansion, and set up a banquet in the mansion, until the time of the unitary time dispersed. Lu Wenyuan got up and sent the last group of guests away, although he had a smile on his face, he still couldn't hide the deep loneliness in his expression. Zhu Shiyang glanced at it beside him, his heart was tight, he thought about it, and said softly: "There is no peace by your side, you are very lonely, right?"

Lu Wenyuan smiled faintly when he heard this: "It's okay." But because of the slight lock in his eyebrows, he was a little insincere.

Seeing him so honest, Zhu Shiyang felt even more sad in his heart, hesitated for a moment, and said, "If you are really sad, it is better to go back to the Fu Mansion first and live for a while, I will not blame you." You must know that when Zhu Shiyang said this, he made a lot of determination, just because he was a good person, and he hoped that the other party would be grateful to Dade and sing praises whenever he had paid, in other words, he hoped that the other party could accept his feelings. Although Zhu Shiyang didn't say it, the princes and ministers figured out the emperor's thoughts, but they were all first-class masters, so every time they were rewarded, they would express their gratitude. Now that Lu Wenyuan can live in the new house as much as possible, it is the best reward for him, but Zhu Shiyang is willing to give up, which shows that he has a rare heart for Lu Wenyuan.

Lu Wenyuan also felt quite moved, although the flattering words could not be spoken, but he was never willing to blow the emperor's heart, so he said: "The emperor's good intentions are understood by the ministers, but the ministers and peace must be separated in the end, I am afraid that the more indecisive, the more sad it will be to break the thread." The so-called long pain is better than short pain, which is about this truth. ”

Zhu Shiyang was really happy when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Lu Qing is right. He added, "You don't have to be afraid in the future, I will often come out of the palace to accompany you." The sentence was said with great interest, and he patted Lu Wenyuan on the shoulder twice, and after the shooting, he realized that his words and deeds seemed to be a little too intimate.

Zhu Shiyang was secretly embarrassed, peeking at Lu Wenyuan, but saw him smiling warmly. A red sun was falling behind him, causing a golden glow to glow all around him.

Zhu Shiyang was moved for a moment, so he took Lu Wenyuan's hand in the smoke and light in the sky, and walked with him to the depths of the palace.
