Sending off Yu Hou, Li Yan and Luo Zhu walked side by side, although the two had only met once, somehow, there was an indescribable sense of intimacy.

"On that day, Kaifeng Mansion fortunately had a promotion of the adult to exonerate the crime, otherwise it would inevitably suffer from the flesh and skin, I wanted to come to the door to thank you, but I heard that the identity of the lifting adult is special, so I didn't dare to be reckless, today's opportunity is just right, please accept the next worship." Li Yan said sincerely.

Luo Zhu smiled slightly, paused slightly, and waited for Li Yan to finish worshipping before picking him up and saying, "This is the holy will, and Luo can't afford it." ”

Li Yan looked around and saw that the palace maids and eunuchs lined up in two lines, pouring into the mansion like there was no end, and suddenly he felt flattered, and said:

"I'm just a splash, the temple tried to make the saint lose face, the saint is not only not blamed, but also made a lot of grace, it's really ashamed."

Luo Zhu lowered his voice and said, "This is not a place to speak, but there is a secluded place?" ”

Li Yan immediately understood and led Luo Zhu to the study.

Since coming to Kyoto, Li Yan has also entered the study for the first time, and the decorations inside are all arranged by Li Bei'er.

As soon as he entered the door, Luo Zhu's eyes were attracted by the root carving, and Li Yan was also secretly surprised, such a behemoth, how did Fan Er move into the house?

The carving finish is better than before, it should have been repainted with lacquer wax, but it still does not lose its charm, and I think it has taken a lot of effort.

Seeing that Luo Zhu didn't sit, Li Yan didn't dare to sit first, so he had to stand aside and wait.

After a while, Luo Zhu retracted his thoughts and said with a forced smile: "I remembered a past incident and smiled." ”

"If you like it, you will send it to your lord's house tomorrow." Li Yan lost no time in saying.

Luo Zhu chuckled and said, "You don't have to be like this with me, I know that you are a sleek person, but I have never liked to be pretentious." ”

This sentence was extremely straightforward, and Li Yan didn't know how to answer it for a while.

According to his character, he must say "yes, yes", but isn't this still contrived?

After hesitating for a moment, he simply diverted the topic and said: "Huanxi girl......"

Li Yan didn't finish speaking, but tried it softly, because he wasn't sure if Luo Zhu was willing to talk about this topic, after all, the Imperial City Division was an organization like an "agent", and there would definitely be many taboos.

"How's the girl?" Luo Zhu said with a smile.

Li Yan came to the spirit, since he took over, it meant that he could ask, and said boldly: "Is she okay?" ”

"Okay, but it's still out of town, and I'll let you two meet again in a month." Luo Zhu said with a smile.

A small couple?

Field?

Li Yan's mind was spinning, and he immediately guessed the joints - because it should be a lie made up by Huanxi to deliberately conceal the truth in order to save him.

Moreover, in Huanxi's letter to Xiaomo, she was clearly informed that she was in Wang Fu's mansion, which Luo Zhu was obviously lying.

Li Yan didn't dare to expose it, because he didn't know what the relationship between Huanxi and Luo Zhu was, and he was afraid that talking nonsense would hurt Huanxi, so he hurriedly echoed: "Master Xie." ”

Luo Zhu Zhengse said: "You should have a lot of doubts now, but I can abandon others and just ask the Huanxi girl, I am very pleased, and it is not in vain that she has paid so much for you, very good." ”

"Yes, the-faced girl has suffered too much, and she feels deeply guilty." Li Yan said cheekily.

These words seemed to touch Luo Zhu's heartstrings, and he turned his head, took out the silk handkerchief from his sleeve, wiped the corners of his eyes, held back his sadness, and said with a wry smile:

"I'm just such a sister, and my only relative. Although the daughter who married out and the water that was spilled, Luo still wanted to say more, this girl has been competitive since she was a child, and her temperament is as bold as a man, but her face is extremely thin. If there is a conflict with your sister-in-law in your life, please bear with me, or tell me, and I will teach you. ”

I see!

Li Yan suddenly became enlightened, it turned out that Huanxi and Luo Zhu were brothers, then, this matter had to be explained well, but he couldn't continue to misunderstand, he didn't have half of the feelings between men and women for Huanxi.

After thinking about it, Li Yan suddenly stood up, respectfully saluted Luo Zhu, who was puzzled, and said:

"Since Lord Tiju is Huanxi's own brother, then I have to tell the truth, in fact, I have no husband and wife relationship with her, those are just white lies made up by Huanxi to save her."

"What did you say?" Luo Zhu questioned.

Li Yan continued: "I also know that Huanxi is in Wang Fu's mansion, so I take the liberty of asking, why did you let her take this risk?" ”

"What else do you know?"

"No, Huanxi and the next concubine often exchange letters, that's all."

Luo Zhu fell into deep thought, recalling that day his sister suddenly appeared in front of him, and told her sweet past with Li Yan with a happy face, which turned out to be fake!

"How long have you been with your sister-in-law?"

"Less than a month," Li Yan said truthfully.

"Hehe......" Luo Zhu let out a wry smile, shook his head again and again, and said, "This little girl has deceived me." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Zou suddenly frowned, stared at Li Yan and said, "You have to marry her!" ”

Li Yan took two steps back in surprise and said embarrassedly: "This, it's not appropriate, you can also see that there are already wives and concubines below." ”

"Although you haven't been together for a long time, I can see that her feelings for you are definitely not fake." Luo Zhu affirmed.

Li Yan was puzzled: "I think this matter still needs to be verified, maybe Huanxi is just out of chivalry, and I don't know." ”

"Hmm...... Then put this matter aside for the time being, but with your current situation, you dare to confess this to me, and you are not afraid that you will lose my help? ”

"I feel that I should be a person who should be upright and frank, even if it ends in failure, I am not ashamed."

"Very good, it suits my appetite, I have decided on your sister-in-law." Luo Zhu opened the fan again and said happily.

Li Yan smiled bitterly in his heart, this is very different from the "agent" in his impression, shouldn't he be mysterious, how can he be so straightforward.

Seeing that Li Yan didn't speak, Luo Zhu said: "You don't have to think about this matter, it's so decided, if you don't have any questions, I can go?" ”

"Yes, yes, yes."

How could Li Yan not have doubts, the current form is unknown, and at the same time he has a feud with Cai and Wang's two parties, and today he is even more foreign in the court, and he is attacked on the road, it seems that the whole people in Kyoto are rejecting him, how can he solve the current situation?

"Please raise the teachings of the adults, what should I do in the future?"

Luo Zhu smiled and said, "Later? Since the official family values you so much, why don't you take advantage of this advantage to expand your own power? ”

"But I have become the laughing stock of the entire officialdom, who will make friends with me?" Li Yan said distressedly.

"No, can't you see that all the members of the Cai Party are in the court today? There are as many as 1,000 civil and military officials in Kyoto, and there are only a few dozen people in the court, so how can we talk about the entire officialdom? There are many officials who are not used to Cai Jing, but no one can unite them. Luo Zhu said confidently.

"Wang Fu can't do it either?" Li Yan asked.

"Hmph......" Luo Zhu snorted coldly and said: "The clown who jumps off the beam has long been trusted by the officials, but there is no one to replace him now." ”
