On the way back, the flames around Bi Fang's body were uncertain, Xie Ying supported himself with one hand, closed his eyes to recuperate, and said casually: "Since there is something in your heart, ask it earlier." ”

Bi Fang retracted his wings slightly, bowed his head and said: "Why did Gongzi hide Lu Gongcao and leak the news to the city guards, and he was more cooperative, and did not hesitate to go out of the carriage to accept a thorough investigation...... I'm afraid that the three of them will be scared away. ”

Xie Ying sneered coldly: "He concealed and used me, and I can't help it if I conceal it?" ”

Bi Fang's flames were much more restrained, and his head hung so much that he almost hid in his wings, it had an upright temperament, for fear that if he made a mistake, he would provoke Xie Gongzi's anger, so he simply closed his eyes and kept silent.

Lu Sheng concealed it, and his original intention was for Xie Ying's sake; Xie Ying concealed it, but it was purely for the purpose of oppressing the good, and the meaning of this is completely different.

Xie Ying had already put down his hand and sneered: "He has tried his best to think about a mere Shen Lun, even I used it, I knew that this was the case, I shouldn't have taken out the shadow worm in the first place, I deserved to let him be a puppet, if he wanted him to be happy and loyal, he could kneel in front of me immediately, why have so many twists and turns now." ”

You were the shadow insect at the beginning, and now you regret it, Xie Gongzi's mind is getting better day by day, and it is becoming more and more strange and unpredictable.

Bi Fang raised his head slightly, he couldn't bear it anymore after all, and whispered: "Dare to ask Gongzi, what are you angry about?" ”

Xie Ying's eyes were full of anger, and he turned his head to look at the continuous emerald color of the field outside the carriage, and repeated in a low voice, "What the hell am I ...... Gas what? ”

This noble son, who was like the moon shining on ice and snow, suddenly showed a lonely smile and said softly: "I'm angry with him until now, and he doesn't even believe me at all." ”

Bi Fang was speechless, and the carriage sparkled over the long winding official road and headed towards the city.

After the Shangsi Festival, Shen Lun lived in seclusion in the dustless view.

Although the Dustless Temple is in charge of the power of King Pengcheng, it is still a place outside the square after all, and this reclusive guest is also a distinguished guest of the disciple of the Guanzhu, and the Taoist people have never embarrassed him. In the blink of an eye, in April, in addition to the whereabouts of Mr. Shui Yue and Song Siming, who were once Chen Liuwang's staff, are still unknown, the core of Chen Liuwang's remnants of the party are all ambushed, and the Northern Wei army began to gather on the riverside, and the intention of crossing the river to take the Southern Dynasty was clearly revealed, and the focus of the DPRK and the central government naturally shifted to how to deal with the troops, and the intensity of searching for Shen Lun and other pawns was also relaxed.

Every other day, Yue Nanlai would go to Wuchen Temple to visit Shen Lun, tailor clothes and sew shoes and socks for him, wash his hands and make soup for him, and cook food in different ways. Shen Lun's injuries healed eight out of ten|nine, although he did not dare to go out every day, but in the view to assist the Taoist people to cultivate the wasteland, tending to flowers and plants, Lu Sheng sent him paper, ink, pen and inkstone, in his spare time he read and practiced calligraphy, wrote a wind and snow, discussion of politics and prose, and then shook his head and sighed, and threw it into the fire and burned it.

Now he is just a lost dog, a fish that has slipped through the net, a defeated deserter, and a remnant of the rebellious party, and his ambitions have been wasted, and he lives like a walking corpse, with a long road ahead and no idea where to go.

Lu Sheng was very pleased, and when he came to visit, he comforted him and said, "Mr. Shuiyue has always been cunning, so he can naturally retreat with his whole body, so why should Brother Yun Chang worry about him." Now it's a blessing to escape by luck, don't waste your life again. When the rumor passes for a while, I'll get you a way. You left Jianye first, went to the field to settle down for a few years, Nanlai is not young, you two might as well get married as soon as possible, live a life with Hemeimei, and give me a few more nephews and nieces. After a few years of calm and calm, if you want to find a place to make a living and where to settle down, I will naturally help you. ”

Shen Lun drank the wine in his glass, and then sighed: "Baoyang, I am now like a floating duckweed, wandering around, with nowhere to settle down, why bother to come south again." ”

Lu Sheng Zhengse said: "Brother Yun Chang, in the past, you didn't want to talk about your children's private affairs for the sake of your future career, but now you ...... Now cough, I'm not blind, of course I can see that since Lang has affection and concubine intentions, now is a good time......"

Shen Lun was silent, only drinking one glass after another, and only after a while did he whisper: "Baoyang, you don't understand." ”

Lu Sheng poured wine for him and asked in a deep voice: "I naturally don't understand, are you still waiting for Mr. Shuiyue to make a comeback?" ”

Shen Lun put down his wine glass and was silent, Lu Sheng frowned and said, "Shen Lun, what are you insisting on?" ”

Shen Lun was dressed in a plain white deep robe, on which he embroidered a landscape painting with ink embroidery thread deep and shallow, as if painted with pen and ink, he sat on the Hu bed, and the hem of the clothes hanging on his knees was arranged without wrinkles, and he said: "Lu Sheng, when the dynasty implemented the nine-grade Zhongzheng system, let you be eloquent and strategic, but also need to rely on recommendations to enter the office, so there is no cold door in the upper grade, and there is no scholar in the lower grade." Do you really think that's fair? ”

Lu Sheng was silent, and Shen Lun said again: "For example, Yu Zheng, a gentleman who does not learn and has no skills, can enter the national prison, and is educated by a scholar of the current dynasty but does not know how to cherish it, but he is just a silverfish who sleeps in flowers and willows all day long, and has no ink on his chest. However, if this silverfish does not die on the streets, after three years of play, it can be recommended as a high-grade person and become an official in the court. I am worried about external and internal troubles in the Great Jin, it is the time of life and death, but the important ministers of the court are vegetarian and unskilled, how can they stand up with only a few mainstays? If you don't make up your mind to reform, the Great Jin Dynasty will not be far from the country. Baoyang, Mr. would rather be his own body, conspire against the stigma, all he wants is the world for the public, the people live, if I don't wait for Mr. to call, after death, how can I feel at ease? ”

Lu Sheng laughed in a low voice, "The great lover has no love, and the amorous one is unloved." Nanlai will take a fancy to you. ”

Shen Lun smiled bitterly: "Brother Fool is incompetent, and he can't repay the kindness of Brother and Sister Xian." Hug the sun, and entrust it to ...... when you come to the south."

Before he finished speaking, the wooden door was pushed open, and Yue Nanlai carried the bamboo basket, with a powdery face, and glared at the two coldly.

Lu Sheng hurriedly got up and said, "...... from the south"

Yue Nanlai said: "Nan has parents, so you don't have to worry about my life's affairs. Mr. Shen's ambition is to soar in the sky, not to live in the sycamore, and not to climb high in the south. ”

Shen Lun also got up hurriedly and said, "Come south, I'll ......"

Yue Nanlai put down the bamboo basket, turned around and ran out of the small courtyard.

Shen Lun chased him out without thinking, and anxiously called: "Come south, come south!" ”

Lu Sheng was left aside by the two in a blink of an eye, drank two glasses of stuffy wine tastelessly, and went out to look for it. But seeing the two standing under a peach tree arguing, then Shen Lun actually stretched out his hand to take Nanlai into his arms, and the girl struggled slightly, so she snuggled in Shen Lun's arms and did not move.

Lu Sheng felt more and more redundant, so he went home alone.

When I entered the door, I saw that everyone in the family was beaming, and the eldest brother who was supposed to be on duty in the yamen was also at home, and when he saw Lu Sheng, he smiled, grabbed his two hands and said in a folded voice: "Hug Yang, Hug Yang, there is, there is!" ”

Lu Sheng said blankly: "Big brother, what's ...... Pregnant? ”

Zhou sat on the soft chair and never got up, only covered his sleeves and chuckled, but his face was full of light, and his complexion was so good, Lu Yuan smiled and said: "Fool, of course your sister-in-law has it!" Doctor Jia is worthy of his name! ”

Lu Sheng was overjoyed and held Lu Yuan's wrist with his backhand, "Really!?" ”

Lu Yuandao: "I invited three doctors to see a doctor, and the diagnosis is all Ximai, take it seriously, Baoyang, you want to be an uncle." ”

Lu Sheng was really overjoyed at this time, hurriedly let go of his hand, clasped his fists with both hands, saluted Lu Yuan and Zhou, and said solemnly: "Congratulations to the eldest brother, congratulations to the sister-in-law." ”

Lu Yuanlang laughed out loud and hugged Lu Sheng's shoulder, "Family, what kind of courtesy, my brothers and sisters are going to get drunk tonight." ”

Lu Sheng said: "Big brother, I'll accompany you!" ”

Lu Yuan said heroically, but he was concerned about his wife and children, but after a few drinks with Lu Sheng, he hurried back to the room to accompany Zhou.

Lu Sheng first drank some water and wine at home, but now he noticed that he was a little drunk, so he didn't dare to drink more, but his heart was empty and uncomfortable. He simply grabbed the hanging pot with the sword and found an excuse to go out.

It is the time of the lanterns, the shops in the stone workshop are lit with lanterns, and the vendors carry their burdens and push wheelbarrows along the street to sell, bustling and lively. Although the army was assembled by the river, the common people still toiled day after day, and there was not much change.

Lu Sheng's form is alone, and the wandering soul walks through it, and unconsciously the surroundings gradually fall silent, he subconsciously looked up, but saw the familiar word "Xie" embedded next to the tall vermilion lacquer door, he just believed that the horse was walking around at will, but unexpectedly walked to the Xie Mansion.

Since Xie Ying said goodbye on the Shangsi Festival, Lu Sheng has never met with him, and the gate of Xie Mansion is closed all day long, and no one is seen entering or leaving, as if the Mansion has moved.

Now looking at the door and sighing, just about to turn around and leave, suddenly the door squeaked open, Ruodie poked out a pretty face from behind the door, and said with a smile: "Coincidentally, my son-in-law only inspected the fiefdom and returned to the house today, and the son of Baoyang came. Baoyang Gongzi please come in, please come in! ”

Lu Sheng originally hesitated, but the little girl actually walked out of the door with her skirt, and dragged Lu Sheng in with her arm, Lu Sheng pushed the boat in with her, and asked, "Inspect the fiefdom?" ”

Ruodie said: "When my son-in-law was deprived of the throne of the world, the Hou Ye and Mrs. naturally made a little compensation, so they asked the saint to divide half of the food under the name of the Hou Ye and transfer it to the son. A few days ago, Gongzi led us to inspect the fiefdom. ”

Lu Sheng's heart turned out to be like this, but he lowered his face and said: "How can you talk about your son-in-law's private affairs when you meet people?" ”

Ruodie smiled and said: "Sooner or later, Baoyang Gongzi will know, I will only tell you, and I will never leak it to others." ”

Lu Sheng recalled the scene when Xie Ying left the table angrily, but his heart became weak, and he followed Ruodie through the courtyard.

Approaching midsummer, the lotus pond in the front yard is crowded with slim red and white lotus flowers, and the fragrance is far away. The backyard is lush with greenery, illuminated by lanterns as if carved out of green.

Xie Ying was sitting leisurely on the edge of the open cloister in the backyard, one leg slightly bent on the corridor floor, one leg suspended in the air, leaning against a white stone pillar behind him, wearing a silver-white Shu brocade robe, the edge of the long sleeves, the placket, and the hem were eight-inch-wide snow vermilion peony brocade, undulating with the wind, and suddenly it seemed that some blood was oozing from the white jade, which looked extraordinarily poignant, Lu Sheng did not dare to approach, and his feet slowed down.

The night breeze was just right, sending a mouth-watering aroma, Lu Sheng noticed that a small silver charcoal stove was placed on the corridor, and a grilled net made of metal wires was placed on the stove, and at this moment, on the grilled net, three small silver fish about two fingers wide and three inches long were roasting, and I don't know how to deal with it.

Ruoxia saw that Lu Sheng hesitated, so she smiled and said: "Baoyang Gongzi is really blessed, this is a sweetfish from the coastal waters of Jiaozhou, brought back alive, the meat is the most delicious, now is the fattest time, Baoyang Gongzi come and taste it." ”

Xie Ying raised his eyes slightly, and said lazily: "Now the maids are becoming more and more arrogant, and they are in charge of the house for me." ”

Ruoxia hurriedly bowed her head and admitted her mistake, and said, "The servant knows that he is wrong, please calm his anger." ”

Xie Ying glanced at Lu Sheng, "Come here." ”

Lu Sheng approached at this time, but said: "I, I'm just taking a walk, passing by your door......"

Xie Ying said, "Sit." ”

Lu Sheng stopped, obeyed, sat cross-legged in the corridor, and looked at Xie Ying from the side, but the noble son turned around and advised: "Don't be spicy." ”

Ruoxia smiled and agreed, put back the brush dipped in hot sauce in her hand, only slightly smeared some garlic oil on the fish to remove the fish, and after it was cooked, she sandwiched the whole fish into a very thin long black lacquer plate, and gave it to Lu Sheng with both hands.

Lu Sheng thanked him, and took a closer look at it habitually, this sweetfish was grilled very beautifully, the silver bright fish skin was not damaged at all, slightly tinged with a few hints of tempting appetite burnt yellow, Ruodie sent a small food table that was only half a foot high and one foot long, and there were six light green ruffled seasoning dishes on the table, with spicy sauce, sweet and spicy sauce, chutney, rattan pepper sauce, pepper and salt and mustard six flavor dipping sauce, and said with a smile: "Sister Ruoxia's grilled fish skills are the best in the world, Baoyang Gongzi, please." ”

Lu Sheng should have pressed the fish lightly with bamboo chopsticks, and the skin of the fish sounded a subtle crispy cracking sound, revealing the garlic cloves that were as white as snow, firm and delicate, and had distinct pieces.
