In the blink of an eye, Lin Nanzhi slept until three o'clock in the morning, and then slowly returned from his dream, only feeling that his whole body was sore, numb and weak, and he didn't even want to open his eyes. The golden autumn sun reflected through the window paper, which was spread on his quilt, and the light was soft and bright.

Feng Ming hid in his arms like a kitten, sleeping sweetly, a black hair covered half of her handsome face, on the pretty and delicate face, the long eyelashes that presented a charming arc were quiet with a shallow slight rhythm, which made people naturally think of the scene of the sleeping beauty.

Her pink and seductive face was very attractive, and Lin Nan couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable after only looking at it twice.

"Qi Yan really put a lot of effort into settling me. Lin Nan thought that his hand had already swept Feng Ming's face.

"Hmm......" In fact, Feng Ming had already woken up, but he didn't want to disturb Lin Nan, but at this time, he felt his misdeeds, and his face suddenly burned like fire, and he hurriedly grabbed Lin Nan's hand.

"So you've woken up a long time ago. Lin Nan said and pinched her little face.

"Well, I'm afraid of waking up His Highness, so I ......" Feng Ming said softly, and wanted to get up, but was pressed back by Lin Nan. "Your Highness, you?" Feng Ming thought that Lin Nan was angry, and his face looked extremely anxious.

"Your people are with me, but your heart is not there, and I don't want your people, I want your heart. Lin Nan threw down this sentence and walked out of the house without looking back, leaving Feng Ming staring blankly at the door, tears actually flowing.

……

There is no Xiaoxiao's drama today, so Qi Satan's strategy is not used. After eating breakfast in the morning, Lin Nan said goodbye to Qi and came out of Qi Mansion. The soft wind blows, the willow trees sway, the passers-by are all dressed in autumn clothes, and the occasional swift flies by, all of which seem to set off the arrival of autumn.

Just like that, he walked forward slowly, and suddenly an old voice sounded in his ears.

"This life is dry and strong, and there is no loss in life. Multi-skilled and multi-skilled, ancestral ice and carbon, flesh and blood, brothers draw cakes to satisfy hunger, six relatives look at plums to quench thirst, work early, fortune late, can gather wealth more than 30 miles away, only to be proud......"

"That's nonsense. Lin Nan looked for prestige, and saw a yellow fan erected under a cold wall directly south. The words written on the fan are not very clear, and vaguely can only 藐▲±dǐng▲±diǎn▲±小▲± say,.∷.⊥os_(); See a hexagram. Next to it is a boxy offering table, on which there are Sinan, hexagram pens and other things. An old man with gray hair sat behind in a gossip yellow robe, muttering words, and next to him stood a middle-aged man, listening respectfully to what he said, seeing that this person should be just an ordinary person.

"It turned out to be a fortune teller and a money scammer. Lin Nan didn't care, walked straight forward, and when he got closer to the two of them, he only heard the fortune teller old man saying: "The life of the middle limit can enter the wealth of the Quartet, go out to meet the help of nobles, and the art is good at management, so that it can prosper.

"Hmph, even you can figure out how old people live, they are still 80 years old, and when this person lives to be 80 years old, you will also die. Lin Nan couldn't help but snort coldly when he didn't think of this, only to see the man take out a few coins of silver and put them in front of the fortune teller's table, and went with a thousand thanks. Lin Nan turned his head and saw that the old fortune teller was secretly laughing, and he was annoyed for a while, so he came over and asked coldly, "You fortune teller?"

The old man raised his eyes and looked at Lin Nan, suddenly startled, and then stood up sharply and said, "It's really destiny!"

"What a destiny, a surprise. Lin Nan said with disdain on his face: "Seeing that you calculated the fortune of the life for the person just now, can you calculate it for me?"

The old man hurriedly shook his head and said, "Your Excellency is the emperor's order, and the old man dares to talk about it." ”

"What!" Lin Nan was taken aback at this moment, he couldn't imagine that this person actually calculated that he had the order of the emperor, and his tone eased a lot.

"Since you know that I have the emperor's order, it seems that you really have two times, I just want to know my life now, just say what you have to say, I will never blame you. ”

After listening to Lin Nan's words, the old man said again and again: "Yes, yes." ”

"Then let's talk about it. Lin Nan's curiosity was aroused by the old man, and he stood there and listened carefully.

"This life is the life of the emperor, and it is a pity that it is ...... in his life" The old man looked at Lin Nan when he said this, and he didn't seem to dare to say any more.

"What's the pity?" Lin Nan asked urgently, dragging him.

"It's a pity that people will kill them in the end. The old man lowered his head after speaking, but Lin Nan felt chills all over his body. Although there are only three sentences in this fate, it has already encompassed Lin Nan's life, and the hegemony of the first is to say that when he is the emperor, he must be the domineering one, and he will eventually be killed by others.

"Could this be the end of Yang Yu himself, that is, my end? . Lin Nan's palms were sweating, and he sighed and asked, "Is there a way to crack it?"

The old man shook his head and said, "Life is determined by heaven, how can it be changed." ”

"Don't you believe in your fate?" At this time, a copper bell-like voice suddenly sounded in Lin Nan's ears, and he was trendy when he heard it, and he hurriedly turned around to look. I saw a young woman with a sword in her hand, her face delicate and elegant, and her pink single clothes standing in front of her, with two shallow dimples on her face, which looked very lovely at first glance.

"What do you say, girl?" asked Lin Nan in a daze.

The woman was very cheerful. He smiled and said: "Confucius said: Believing in God is like God, God's mandate is actually the same principle, as long as it is unavoidable, if you don't believe, maybe it has nothing to do with you." ”

"This ......," the old man was speechless by her. Even Lin Nan had to admire the depth of this woman's insight.

"The girl is so right. Thank you for mentioning diǎn. The gloom in Lin Nan's heart was gone, and his mood was much better than just now.

"Anyway, I came through time, even if that fate is accurate, it is Yang Yu's. And what does it have to do with me. The more Lin Nan thought about it, the more he felt ridiculous just now, and he stood there and shook his head repeatedly.

Now that Childe understood, the little woman took her leave. Before Lin Nan could speak, the woman had already turned and left.

"Girl, go slowly!" Lin Nan chased after the woman and stopped in front of her. The woman was slightly moved and said, "Is there anything else going on with the child?"

Lin Nan smiled, took out ten taels of silver from his arms and handed it over, "I listened to the girl's words just now, just like Daigo poured dǐng, this silver also asked the girl not to smile." ”

The woman pursed her lips and chuckled after hearing this, shook her head and said: "Childe's kindness Qing Xuan understands it, just now it was just a feeling, and he said it nonsense, as the so-called merit is not punished, I can't cut off this silver." ”

Lin Nan had no choice but to put the silver in his arms and said with a smile: "Then even if I receive a favor from the girl, I will have the opportunity to repay it in the future." ”

Qing Xuan still has something to do, so she will leave. The woman clenched her fists and walked forward, acting in a rather manly manner.

"Interesting. Lin Nan laughed dryly, and suddenly saw the woman walking back, and couldn't help but ask strangely, "Is there anything else wrong with the girl?"

The woman smiled and said, "I was in a hurry just now, and I forgot one thing." Today is my father's 60th birthday, if the son doesn't dislike it. Please come by all means, you will be greeted with a light sake. ”

The beauty came to invite, Lin Nan would never refuse, and hurriedly replied: "Okay, I just don't know where the girl's house is?"

The woman pointed forward and said, "Just turn this street and walk a hundred steps to the east, my father's surname is He." ”

"Okay, I will definitely bring a generous gift to me then. After Lin Nan finished speaking, the woman smiled slightly and turned away.

"That last laugh just now was diǎn weird. Lin Nan closed his eyes and thought about the beauty's smile, and couldn't help but laugh out loud. At this time, the fortune teller greeted him and whispered, "Childe." ”

"Huh?" Lin Nan looked at him, not knowing what it meant.

"This hexagram ......" he stretched out his hand, and the meaning was already obvious.

"Oooh. Lin Nan took out the ingot of silver just now and gave it to him, and the old man's eyes lit up, and he thanked him again and again, holding the silver in both hands. At this time, Lin Nan suddenly remembered something, and shouted again: "You come back." When the old man heard this, he hurriedly walked back and bowed his head and waited.

"Do you know a family with the surname He in front of you?" After listening to Lin Nan's question, the old man was obviously relieved and smiled: "I know, that is a big family in our Shouchun City, the head of the household is surnamed Zudao, the family has hundreds of acres of fertile land, and there are dozens of rich villages, pawnshops, etc. ”

Lin Nanen sighed and asked, "Do you know what he likes?"

"Yes, then Master He loves antique porcelain the most, and he still loves the things of the former Song Ru kiln, and he once asked for five thousand taels of silver. ”

"Oh?" Lin Nan diǎn diǎn diǎn head instructed him to go, secretly thinking of a way in his heart, after thinking for a while, a dejected smile suddenly appeared on his face, and muttered: "It seems that you have to break the bank." ”

At the gate of Qi Mansion, the two stone lions are still standing still, and the cool breeze of near autumn is blowing. Lin Nan strode forward, and the two servants at the door hurriedly saluted. "Your Highness. ”|

Lin Nanen said with a sigh: "What about your master?"

"It's in the house, let the villain report. After speaking, a small servant entered the door, and Lin Nan sneered and followed into the compound.

After walking a few steps, Qi Wei quickly turned out of the front yard and arched his hand: "Your Highness came without notifying you." ”

Lin Nan laughed and said, "There, there, I'm here to ask for something." ”

Qi Yan's face changed slightly, and he immediately said: "Your Highness said that, how to ask for words." ”

Lin Nan patted him, showing a very intimate appearance and said, "Lord Qi is polite, aren't we friends?"

Qi Yan trembled in his heart, he had already guessed that things would definitely not be easy to do, but on the surface, he still said very respectfully: "Your Highness has been raised." ”

"Okay, I won't say polite words, I came this time to ask Lord Qi if there is anything about the former Song Ruyao. I bought it with money. After hearing this, Qi Wei sighed and said: "Your Highness is talking about that, there is a three-legged pen wash of Ru kiln in my house, if Your Highness likes it, just take it." ”

When Lin Nan heard that he really had it, he was even more happy, and pulled him and said, "Lord Qi treats me like this." It will be rewarded in the future. ”

"Your Highness is too polite. Please follow me. "In exchange for a chance to be promoted and make a fortune, of course, Qi Yan will not be stingy.

The two walked to Qi Wei's study, Qi Wei opened the door and stood on the side, and Lin Nan entered first. The study is very quiet. There is a sandalwood desk in front of it, on which are placed pen, ink, paper, inkstone and other things, and a very conspicuous green wooden box, next to which is a painting tube, in which are inserted several calligraphy and paintings tied with red strings. In addition to these, there are two bookcases due south, on which there are many ancient blue books. There is nothing left.

"Your Highness. Qi Yan picked up the green wooden box from the desk and said with a smile: "This thing was sent a few days ago, if His Highness asked earlier, I am afraid that it will not be there." ”

"Yo, that's a coincidence. Lin Nan took the box and opened it to see that there was a very delicate pen wash inside, the washing body was pure green, the work was exquisite, there was no trace of residue, and there were three washing feet below, so it was called a three-legged pen wash.

"How much silver, I'll call someone to send it tomorrow. Lin Nan closed the box and looked at Qi Shi.

"Your Highness said there, if Your Highness likes such small objects, I will get a few to send to the house tomorrow. Qi sarcastically said with a smile on his face.

"Lord Qi's loyalty to the country is really heaven and earth, and I will definitely report to my father when I go back. Adults just wait for good news. Bai took other people's things naturally to say good things, Qi sarcastic listened, hurriedly knelt down, bowed down and thanked again and again: "Your Highness's great kindness." I'm sarcastic, even if it's pink bones, it's hard to report it. ”

"Lord Qi, hurry up, this is a strict statement. Lin Nan pulled him up from the ground. The two of them walked out of the study with a smile.

Ho Fu.

It was getting dark, and the two red lanterns hanging in front of the door were already a sign of the festive atmosphere. This He Zudao is really a character, the people who came to pay homage to the birthday almost blocked the entire alley, Lin Nan sat in the sedan chair and walked all the way, only walking to the alley and never entering.

"His Royal Highness King Wu has arrived, and the idlers have dodged the road!" This shout, the people who came to give gifts were all dumbfounded, although they knew that He Zudao was rich and powerful, but they didn't expect that even the dignified King Wu had to come to pay respects, so they had to quickly flash to the side and let King Wu's sedan chair enter.

"Your Highness has arrived. After the deputy general outside the sedan chair finished speaking in a low voice, Lin Nan got down from the sedan chair with a smile, and all the people who were waiting for the uproar fell to the ground at once, and shouted in the air: "The prince is a thousand years old." ”

"Alright, let's all get up. At this time, a silver-haired old man with a dragon head crutch and a cute girl with a dragon bun came out of the door, and when he saw Lin Nan, he hurriedly bowed: "The old man He Zudao, the little woman He Qingxuan, I don't know that His Royal Highness King Wu has arrived, and I hope to forgive my sins." ”

"The old birthday star, please get up quickly. Lin Nan hurriedly stepped forward to help the old man up, but his eyes were fixed on He Qingxuan's body. When the two of them got up from the ground, He Qingxuan raised his eyes and saw Lin Nan's appearance, and couldn't help but exclaim "ah": "Why are you!"

"That's me. Lin Nan looked at He Qingxuan in front of her, at this time she had changed into a tulle arabese skirt, and four drum streamers were obliquely woven behind the skirt, like a butterfly and like a fairy, because the fabric of this skirt was produced in Luoyang, and it has always been used to pay tribute to the royal concubine, so it is also known as: Luoyang Golden Concubine Skirt. After wearing the Luoyang Golden Concubine skirt, He Qingxuan was very different from the morning, her figure, her eyes like water, and her soft skin were all full of tranquility and dignity, which made Lin Nan's heart pound.

"Qing Xuan, don't be unreasonable. He Zudao pulled his daughter, and said to Lin Nan with a smile: "Your Highness, please." ”

Only then did Lin Nan come back to his senses, turned around and ordered, "Bring me my birthday gift." A soldier stepped forward respectfully with a gift box, knelt down on one knee and held it up, Lin Nan stretched out his hand and said: "Slightly thin salute, not respectful, please smile." ”

"How can the old man dare not present the gift of His Royal Highness. He Zudao said that he was about to bow down again, but Lin Nan hurriedly supported him and ordered: "Open the box." ”

The soldier carefully lifted the lid of the box, and when everyone saw this birthday gift, they couldn't help but be tongued, and He Zudao himself stayed in place and couldn't believe it.

"What kind of birthday gift did King Wu offer?" muttered a few people who came to give birthday gifts next to him.

"That's the three-legged brush wash of the former Song Dynasty. According to legend, it is the beloved thing of the Song Lord, and it is simply a city. One of them whispered, sighing softly.

"I've seen this thing, it was bought by Qi Taishou for 100,000 taels of silver a few days ago. ”

"One hundred thousand taels!" several people were stunned by the number.

And at this time, He Zudao's surprise was no less than anyone else's, because he and Wu Wang had never met. There is no friendship at all. Even if there is some friendship. It's not worth it for him to give such a big gift. Thinking about it, He Zudao still didn't understand, and then He Qingxuan suddenly said: "I didn't know it was His Highness in the morning, there was something offensive." I also ask for your forgiveness. ”

Lin Nan smiled, took He Qingxuan's hand and said, "There, there, the girl's words are just another one of my spears." ”

At this moment, He Zudao suddenly realized, because he had already seen the reason in Lin Nan's eyes, and there was only a look of admiration and hue. Needless to say, they all know what's going on. And He Qingxuan also saw some clues, his face turned red, and he gently pulled out his hand and lowered his head and said, "Your Highness, please inside." ”

"Good. Lin Nan smiled and walked into He Mansion, and then He Zudao pulled his daughter in. "I see. All the birthday wishers tacitly followed into the house one by one.

The dishes on each table in the hall are ready, and a golden Shou character in front of it is very eye-catching, and there are two candlesticks and several plates of fruit below. More than a dozen maids dressed in red silk cloth stood in front of each table, all smiling and red. Lin Nan originally wanted He Zudao to sit in the right position. But he resolutely refused, and in the end he had no choice but to sit on his own, but his eyes never left He Qingxuan's face, and she didn't dare to look up.

Everyone sat down, and Lin Nan looked at it. There were hundreds of people in the hall, but they were all seated neatly, and none of them dared to whisper. At this time, He Zudao stood up first, holding a glass of wine in his hand and said loudly: "The old man is not talented, and he has lived in vain for sixty years. Today, thanks to His Royal Highness King Wu and all of you for visiting the Humble House, the Tao is glorious. It really has a sense of being full of brilliance. So today's first glass of wine, I ask you to pay tribute to His Royal Highness King Wu first, and please don't shirk it. After he finished speaking, the hundreds of people present all stood up with their cups and said in unison: "Your Highness, please drink this cup together." ”

"Mr. He is too polite, obviously it is your birthday, how dare I take the lead. As soon as Lin Nan finished speaking, He Zudao hurriedly continued: "Your Highness, please don't shirk." The rest of the people followed suit. Lin Nan raised his glass and said, "Since that's the case, then I'll drink this cup first." He drank it all with the others.

The wine glass sank, Lin Nan waved his hand to signal everyone to sit down, and a little maid filled the wine glass for Lin Nan, so he raised the glass lightly and smiled at He Qingxuan: "I salute Miss with a glass to thank you for your teaching in the morning." He Qingxuan was ashamed of herself, and said with a low smile: "Your Highness made fun of it." ”

"There, there. Lin Nan smiled and drank another glass, only to feel that the wine was sweet and refreshing, and there was a faint floral aroma, and there was less of the fishy and spicy taste of ordinary wine.

A few people chatted happily, Lin Nan told He Zudao about the morning, He Zudao understood the process of the two getting acquainted, and apologized for a while. After some more gossip, just like that, Lin Nan unconsciously drank more than a dozen glasses.

"It's a really good wine. Lin Nan couldn't help but praise.

"This is the rose dew from the old man's cellar, if Your Highness likes it, I will ask someone to send it to the house tomorrow for a few jars. He Zudao said and looked at He Qingxuan, meaning to let her talk to Lin Nan more. But He Qingxuan didn't seem to see it, she only lowered her head and played with the wine glass, looking preoccupied.

The wine and banquet were dispersed, and He Zudao led Lin Nan and other guests to the backyard to watch the opera juggling. Although Lin Nan didn't have the slightest interest in this thing, he was accompanied by He Ling on the left, so he naturally didn't care so much. It's just that He Ling looked full of worries somehow, but he didn't see it.

The stage was stationed high, and the guests behind applauded from time to time, but Lin Nan actually didn't even look at it, he was just talking to He Qingxuan, and although He Qingxuan had to reply to every sentence, Lin Nan's appearance of rules and regulations made Lin Nan feel more and more uninteresting. He Zudao also discovered this diǎn and glared at his daughter fiercely, but it didn't have much effect.

A few bland Kunqu operas were sung, followed by martial arts, and a group of men and women with bamboo weapons came out from behind the stage and pretended to fight.

"It's so boring. Lin Nan scolded secretly in his heart, and turned his eyes to look at He Qingxuan, only to see her gently fiddling with her sideburns, her eyes in a daze, as if she was watching a play and thinking about something.

"Don't run!"

"Stop her!" suddenly there was a shout from the stage, and then I saw a masked man in black running out of the backstage with a sword, and the sword was still dripping with blood. Behind him were six or seven of Hefu's family members, each with a sword in his hand.

"What is this for!" He Zudao stood up in surprise, and the guests behind him also stayed in their seats, not knowing what was going on.

"This is the one that came out, was it Dou Baimei, what's going on?"

"Hey, okay! It's a good fight, Dou Baimei has changed to Nezha and the sea. ”

The swords on the stage were raised and fought upside down, and some of the people in the audience actually shouted good, this farce really has the meaning of diǎn. He Zudao hurriedly shouted to the stage: "What the hell is going on!"

"Master, this man steals!" a family member was distracted as he spoke, and was pierced in the chest by the man in black with a sword, and fell to the stage.

At this moment, the people in the audience were in a mess, and they were all nervous and couldn't sit still, He Zudao shouted loudly: "Come on, catch the assassin!" At this time, the hundred forbidden troops brought by Lin Nan outside the door also ran in when they heard the sound, and Lin Nan hurriedly stretched out his hand and ordered: "Quick, take down that assassin!"

"Yes!" At this moment, the entire stage was surrounded by people and horses, and the man in black saw that there was no way to escape, and suddenly stabbed himself with a horizontal sword.

"Stop her!" Lin Nan shouted, and one of the soldiers had already knocked down the sword with a single sword, while the rest of the people held down the man in black and escorted him off the stage.

Lin Nan stepped forward and took off the man's mask, only to see that the embroidered eyes were round and pale, and it was actually a woman.

"Master, this man sneaked into the study, and I don't know what to steal. After a family member finished speaking, He Zudao asked sharply: "Who are you, what did you come to my He Mansion to steal!"

"Hmph!" the woman in black turned her face and gritted her teeth without saying a word.

"Today is the joy of He Gong's birthday, why bother to spoil the atmosphere for this little thief. Lin Nan smiled, waved his hand and ordered: "Escort her down and keep her under strict supervision, and wait for the trial later." ”

"Yes. The Praetorian Guards were ordered to leave, and Lin Nan was about to speak, when he suddenly felt a dizziness in his head.

"What's wrong, Your Highness!" He Zudao hurriedly helped Lin Nan and asked urgently.

"It's okay, I just feel diǎn dizzy in my head. Lin Nan pressed his forehead and said reluctantly.

"I forgot to tell His Highness that the rose dew has a lot of stamina, and now I think it's a crime. He Zudao said and handed He Qingxuan a look and said, "Qingxuan, quickly help His Highness to go to Dongchun Pavilion to rest." ”

He Qingxuan reluctantly picked up Lin Nan and took him to the north. (To be continued.) )
