22.Chapter 22
A few days later, Lu Sheng was listening to the teachings of the chief deacon Jia Jun in the Qingming Administration, although Jia Jun was in the military camp, he acted with a full civil official demeanor, elegant manners, light words, always nitpicking about Lu Sheng's messages, and he was afraid that he was rigid in his pen and had no charm in his words; The big one thinks that he is simple in writing and lacks rhetoric. Every time it makes Lu Sheng have a headache, with Mr. Jia's eyes above the top, I am afraid that only Wang Xizhi, Zuo Taichong and others can get into his eyes, but he can only bow his head and be taught.
Bai Lixiao was in the same room with him, but he didn't dare to speak out at the moment, and only hid behind the bookshelf to sort out the files, for fear of setting himself on fire, and he was also taught a lesson by Mr. Jia.
When Lu Sheng was drowsy by this old pedant, there was a sudden sound of busy footsteps outside the door of the study, and the hidden wooden door was pushed open, Ji Chong stumbled in, his face was pale, and he said breathlessly: "Lu, Brother Lu!" Big things are not good! ”
Mr. Jia was not surprised, glanced at Ji Chong, and slowly twisted his beard and said: "Presumptuous, in the military camp, rampage and self-chaos, you should be fined 30 ......."
Ji Chong saw that the opportunity was fast, and immediately bowed to Mr. Jia with his fists, and said in a deep voice: "Lord Boss, the big thing is not good, there is a team of palace guards who came to arrest Lu Gongcao!" ”
Mr. Jia's white eyebrows furrowed deeper and deeper, he stood up from his seat, hurriedly walked around the book case, and asked, "Which palace?" What was the reason for the arrest? ”
Ji Chong was panting, supporting his knees with both hands, shaking his head while saying intermittently: "No, I don't know, as soon as I heard that the palace had taken people, I hurried to report the news......"
Bai Lixiao was furious when he heard this, strode out of the study, pulled out his knife, blocked the door like an iron tower, and shouted: "I don't care what big things you have committed, Brother Lu!" After I break off, you go first. ”
Lu Sheng was confused, but Mr. Jia had already said: "I, the person from the Qingming Department of the Yulin Army, how can I let him take whatever the palace says, Lu Sheng, you avoid it first, there is an old man in charge of everything." ”
As soon as he lifted the hem of his official robe, he walked out of the door, Ji Chong gasped enough, stood up straight and said, "Brother Lu, don't worry!" I asked Master Liu to inform General Wei, you can avoid it first. After that, he trotted all the way and chased after Mr. Jia.
Lu Sheng was left in the room, only to feel grateful and uneasy, and he was about to step out of the study after him, but he was stopped by Baili Xiao's hand, and the young man said arrogantly: "Brother Lu, leave it to me here, you go through the back door quickly and go to find General Wei!" ”
Bai Lixiao was burly, and this block blocked him like a door god, Lu Sheng held his arm and said anxiously: "Although I don't know what...... However, if one person does one thing and one person does it, how can I affect my colleagues? Ah Xiao, let me out. ”
Baili Xiao did not move like a mountain, and said angrily: "How can you say that you have no clothes? with the Son. Wang Yuxingshi, repair my spear. Enmity with the Son! ”
The young man opened his mouth loudly and impassionedly, but Lu Sheng couldn't cry or laugh, and only said: "The palace guards are also my subjects of the Great Jin, who do you want to fight with?" ”
Before he finished speaking, there was a dense sound of footsteps coming from the corridor outside the study, and it was Ji Chong who yelled: "Protect Brother Lu!" ”
Immediately, a column of Yulin troops dressed in blue and gray hakama folds poured in like an iron stream, surrounded the office study of the Qingming Administration, and guarded under the front porch of the door.
Outside the courtyard, there was also a group of indigo hakama palace guards, occupying most of the courtyard, holding soldiers, glaring at each other angrily, seeing that it was tense and imminent, Ji Chong took the preemptive strike, stood in front of the Yulin army, and raised his voice: "Who trespassed into the barracks!" ”
Among the guards, a strong man with a beard who looked like a captain stepped out and said angrily: "Presumptuous! After I waited for the spread of the word, I got permission and walked in in a dignified manner, you little man is so untrustworthy that he opened his mouth and was charged with the felony of trespassing in the barracks, and his heart can be punished! ”
Ji Chong was not good for leaving the division, after all, he had less age experience than the other party, his momentum suddenly leaked, and he stammered: "You...... Don't you want to take people in my camp! ”
The strong man's bronze bell-like eyes widened, and he was about to speak, but suddenly from behind the guards, a clear and hearty woman's laughter sounded like a yellow oriole singing in the hollow valley, and the woman laughed for a while, and then said: "Before leaving, I made a bet with my grandfather, but now I am really misunderstood, Wenxiu, and I will not retreat." ”
The strong man looked fierce and vicious, but he didn't expect the name to be so delicate, he didn't care, bowed his head and retreated to the side, and the palace guards parted like a tide, revealing a passage, and a woman in red walked out.
The woman's figure was not very tall, but her dress was as red as fire, her smile was bright, and her sleeves were as wide as a cloud, and the skirt was like a wave of flowers.
The people around unconsciously suppressed their voices, and looked at the young woman a little stunned.
Zhen embroidered clothes, quilted clothes, not short, not long, step descendants of the palace of the palace, suddenly changed, graceful like a dragon riding the clouds.
Song Yuyi's goddess Fu Jinyu Yuzao can't describe the beauty of the woman in front of her, if there is really anyone who can compare with this beauty, and can surpass it, Lu Sheng thinks about it, and there is only one Xie Ying.
The woman should be accustomed to attracting everyone's attention, and she didn't care at all, she was still smiling, and she walked through the guards, and stood still in front of the guns and halberds of the Yulin Army, and said: "Sima Qian, the palace of Chuyu, on the order of my grandfather, has come to invite Lu Gongcao to come over the mansion for a while. ”
She was generous and fearless, but she made a group of Yu Linlang sneer and accept the soldiers, and her morale suddenly stopped, and she was a little overwhelmed.
Bai Lixiao's eyes rolled twice, and only then did he remember what kind of character King Chu Yu was, and he turned his head and said in surprise: "Brother Lu, when did you get into a relationship with that idle old prince?" ”
Lu Sheng was also stunned for a moment before he suddenly realized, Xie Ying also vaguely mentioned that the grandmother of the Yun Chan sister and brother was the sister of the old Chu Yu Wang, so calculated, this prince named Sima Qian has a cousin relationship with Yun Chan and Yun Ye.
Now that he has come to invite him, he must have something to do with Yun Chan's matter, and it is reasonable for Lu Sheng to refuse.
He had to smile bitterly: "It's hard to say anything about this matter, I'll talk to you another day." As he stepped out of the study door, he saw Mr. Jia appear from outside the courtyard door, nodded slowly to him, and signaled that he could do his own thing, and he didn't have to worry about anything else.
Lu Sheng was even more relieved, and when he stepped forward, all his comrades retreated, Ji Chong became more and more melancholy, and whispered: "Brother Lu......"
Lu Sheng shook his shoulder and whispered, "It's okay. ”
He hugged his fists at Yu Linlang around him and said, "Fellow comrades, this is a misunderstanding, Lu Sheng has thanked you here." ”
Everyone immediately breathed a sigh of relief, responded violently, and dispersed.
Lu Sheng turned to the eldest lady of the Sima family, and sighed in his heart, he had heard that the king of Chuyu had been doing nothing for several generations, not doing anything about the king, not asking about politics, and there was nothing outstanding at all, only now he got a pearl in his palm, bright and beautiful, sensational Jianye, and Yunchan were called the double masters of Beijing. Lu Sheng was fortunate to meet the two of them one after another, and he felt that he really lived up to his reputation.
His heart turned a thousand times, but his face was respectful, and he saluted: "Lu Sheng has seen the county lord." ”
Sima Qian was generous, and laughed loudly: "Lu Gong Cao Mo wants to be polite, I will take the liberty to disturb, but I want to invite Gong Cao Haihan." Without further ado, Lu Gongcao please. ”
Lu Sheng didn't dare to do anything, so he had to go towards the gate of the Qingming Bureau, and a wide carriage was parked outside the door, but it was open on all sides, only hanging a sheer light veil, and the car could be seen at a glance outside.
The two maids came up, put the small stool on the ground, and said coquettishly: "The county lord please, Lu Gongcao please." ”
This carriage and the owner of the carriage are frank and open, although Lu Sheng feels that it is inappropriate, but Sima Qian can still be informal, he is dignified and feathered, how can he be left behind? simply did not give in, and when Sima Qian sat down properly, he also stepped into the carriage and sat down opposite Sima Qian.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he sat down, Sima Qian burst out laughing again, Lu Sheng's face was suddenly red, and he felt that he was being played, so he couldn't help but be a little annoyed and angry.
Seeing that his face was strange, Sima Qian hurriedly smiled, sat upright and said solemnly: "Lu Gongcao don't want to misunderstand, I just think that the person in Xie Ying's picture is really bold and different, and I can't help but be a little happy." ”
Lu Sheng unexpectedly heard Xie Ying's name from her mouth again, and heard her praise the two of them in one sentence, he didn't feel relieved, and coughed and said, "I didn't expect the county lord to know Xie Ying." ”
Sima Qian said with a smile: "I naturally recognize that three years ago, when I was appreciating plum blossoms in Jinzhong Mountain, I met Xie Ying by chance, and I was shocked, so I vowed not to marry." Unexpectedly, that man was hard-hearted and cold-hearted, and he refused categorically, leaving no mercy at all. ”
Lu Sheng couldn't help but be dumbfounded, not only shocked by the audacity of this county lord, but also shocked by Ying's beauty and disaster to the country and the people.
Sima Qian was still full of joy, and continued: "Since he doesn't like me, I naturally don't like him either, so the matter is over." It's just that it has been rumored recently that the unapproachable Xie Dagongzi actually made a friend. He didn't hesitate to break the convention of never allowing people to stay overnight for that one. Coincidentally, my grandfather wanted to invite Lu Gongcao, so I volunteered to come and take the opportunity to see who could make Gongzi Xie make an exception again and again. ”
Lu Sheng saw that she was very interested, and looked at him carefully with a pair of eyes with a pair of bright eyes. The carriage passed through the streets and alleys, surrounded by the guards. The wind blew the veil fluttering, and although the passers-by were far away, this standing out made the county lord pay full attention to the appearance of the man in the eyes of the passers-by.
Lu Sheng didn't feel a little chill in his back, so he hurriedly sat on the side, bowed his head and said: "This, Gongzi Xie is righteous, but in fact, there is no hidden secret, and making an exception is also a helpless move." ”
Sima Qian said: "Oh? When did Xie Ying, a cold-hearted and cold-hearted wood, become a righteous chivalrous man? What's the secret? ”
actually put on a deaf look.
Lu Sheng smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid that I have to ask the county lord to ask Xie Ying himself." ”
Sima Qian snorted lightly, no longer looked at Lu Sheng, turned his head, and took a cup of hot tea from the maid's hand, "Grandfather is mysterious, you are also mysterious, you men are used to playing tricks, for fear of making people see some timidity." Unexpectedly, it is full of flaws, and the county lord is too lazy to bother with you. ”
Lu Sheng still smiled bitterly, but he didn't dare to respond, but his heart became more and more confused, if Yun Chan's matter still had a beginning and an end, why didn't Yun Mansion see any movement, but it was Chu Yu Wangfu who came forward? Furthermore, if you want to break this situation, it is the best policy to find Xie Yingfang, why do you still need to find him? Do you want to borrow his hand to invite Xie Ying out of the mountain?
After thinking about it, the carriage had already entered the palace, and it took about two more teas before it stopped outside a five-entry room with gray walls and black glazed tiles, and the attendants stepped forward to welcome Lu Sheng inside, but Sima Qian was stopped outside.
