Seven days later.

Xu Buling walked out of the Guozijian, whistled, and a shoulder-high snow-hoofed black horse trotted out of the stable, stopping in front of the dismount monument on the long street of bluestone.

Horses are produced in Mobei's 'chasing wind and snow hooves', in the Xiliang army under the command of King Su, the cavalry accounts for 100,000, and the horse sources are all from Mobei. One hundred good horses out of one snow hoof, one hundred snow hooves out of one chasing the wind, the price is comparable to the same weight of gold, and money is difficult to buy, the whole Chang'an is two, the other is the son of heaven's car.

Xu Buling turned over his horse and galloped towards the Su Wangfu on Kuishou Street in Changle Fang, the surrounding area of the imperial city was full of princes and generals, and the outside of the mansions were heavily guarded, and there were not many pedestrians.

After passing through the three octagonal archways on Kuishou Street, I saw a small sedan chair parked outside King Su's mansion from afar, and a dignified maid stood at the door with an umbrella, waiting respectfully.

It is Mrs. Lu's personal maid.

Xu Buling had a headache, reined in his horse, and was about to turn around and return to the prison for the night, when a crisp shout came from behind him:

"Little Prince!"

Xu Buling sighed, and could only lightly step across the snowy long street with the horse's belly, walked up to the maid, and asked knowingly:

"Moon slave, why did you come here?"

The moon slave blessed him like water, and his voice was soft:

"Your Royal Highness, Madame has been waiting for you at home for three days, and I didn't see you coming, I thought something happened to you, so let the servant come and take a look."

Xu Buling nodded slightly, turned the horse's head and headed towards Mrs. Lu's residence.

Kuishou Street is full of princes and generals, and the three octagonal arches at the entrance of the street are given to the three families of 'Xiao, Lu and Xu'.

Huainan Xiao is one of the gate valves of Dayue, the Central Plains changed the dynasty three times, and the Xiao family has been standing tall for generations. The Lu family in Jinling is also a family of gate valves, and the house in the capital is opposite the Xiao family. The Xu family was only torn apart and crowned the king before Jiazi, and the difference between the three families is still relatively large.

When Mrs. Lu was young, she gave a young talent to the Xiao family, but unfortunately she died early and became a widow.

The family attaches great importance to etiquette, Mrs. Lu, as a descendant of the Lu family, is naturally bound by integrity and cannot remarry, so many years of excellent reputation, living in the capital is used to not wanting to go to Huainan, has been living in Jinghuayuan near Xiaofu.

Xu Buling turned over and dismounted outside Jinghuayuan, let the guards wait outside, and entered the garden with a well-dressed car and came to the courtyard by the lake.

The cold wind is blowing, and the strange flowers and trees in the garden have already withered, covered with misty snow.

The elegant courtyard is not big, and it is built near the lake to be a place to cool off in summer, and Mrs. Lu likes to be clean and has been living here, leaving only a few maids to serve by her side.

The green tiles on the white wall are covered with snow foam, and red lanterns are hung outside the courtyard gate and swaying in the wind.

Xu Buling walked slowly to the outside of the courtyard, the courtyard door was open, and the maid walked back and forth, holding a basin of water in her hand, braving the snow-white mist in the bitter winter cold.

Bang

There was a splash of water.

Xu Buling hesitated, turned around and walked to the stone pavilion outside the courtyard, but the maid inside had already seen him, walked over in a hurry, and said respectfully:

"Little prince, Madame is bathing, you wait a moment."

"Okay."

Xu Buling tightened the snow-white fox fur on his body, and stood quietly outside the courtyard waiting.

It's just that soon, after the maid went in to report, a slightly annoyed voice came from the small courtyard, which was very serious:

"No, you come in."

“……？”

Xu Buling put his hands on his sleeves and looked at the snow in the gorgeous garden, as if he had not heard of it.

Stomp –

The maid trotted over, her expression was slightly strange, and she secretly glanced at His Royal Highness the handsome and peerless prince, and whispered:

"Little prince, Madame told you to go in~"

“(⊙_⊙)！”

Xu Buling frowned slightly, only felt that Mrs. Lu was a bit of a child's play, although his body was seventeen or eighteen, his mind had already matured, and seventeen or eighteen was not small.

"Come in! Don't you even listen to me? ”

Mrs. Lu's slightly annoyed voice seemed to have slapped the water with her hand.

Xu Buling entered the courtyard hard, the west chamber was lit with dim lights, and the side silhouette of a woman was reflected in the window paper, with graceful curves, concave and convex, and the maid walked around in it.

Xu Buling's eyes looked away, walked out of the window and stopped, and chuckled:

"Aunt Lu, I'll wait outside, you get busy first."

"You'll run away later, I'll let you come over, you're good, pretend not to hear, think I'm verbose?"

Bang

Xu Buling rubbed his forehead, turned his back to the window, and thought for a while:

"Aunt Lu is too worried, huh...... A bit of a personal matter......"

The noise in the room was non-stop, and there was silence for a while, before he sighed softly, with a bit of resentment:

"Forget it, I won't ask, just pay attention to yourself. You hit Xiao Ting ...... a few days ago."

"I know my mistake."

"I didn't say you were wrong, you played well, Xiao Ting was flamboyant all day long, he didn't look like a man at all, if he wasn't my brother-in-law, I would have cleaned him up a long time ago."

"Hmm...... Well, I'll keep working on it next time. ”

"Xiao Ting ran to the palace to complain, and the Queen Mother asked me to discipline you, hum~ How can I be willing to discipline you, it's too late to hurt you, I can't wait to take you in my mouth......

…… Alas~ It's a pity that you have grown up and don't like people to take care of you, and I also feel that I am verbose......"

As he spoke, he brought up a bit of resentment.

Xu Buling took a breath, calmed down, and said with a smile in the tone of a junior:

"Why, I like Aunt Lu the most, others don't care about it at all."

“…… Duduplicity......"

The tone was finally gentle, and the sound of rushing water sounded, as if it came out of the bathtub, and the sound of rustling continued, and the voice of admonition sounded:

"I didn't call you here to discipline you. There was an assassin in the capital, his martial arts were very high, and Zhang Xiang, the chief officer of the Investigation Division, was almost assassinated. Your father also sent troops to clean up the Jianghu people, and it is possible that he will also do something to you, so be careful recently. ”

Xu Buling nodded lightly: "Got it." ”

"Also, what's going on with the case of illicit salt?"

Xu Buling knew that he would say this, and said helplessly:

"I happened to pass by and helped out."

"Help me and help me get the reputation of a big man in the sky, do you think that your reputation is not big enough?"

Xu Buling was full of guilt and speechless.

“…… That's it, the matter has come out, it's useless to talk about it, I've asked the Royal Forest Army to suppress this matter, be careful in the future...... Also, killing people is karma, how old are you? With more than 100 lives in his hands, those who have lost their lives are not allowed to kill people in the future. ”

"Hehe, I know."

"Don't just know, you have to do things, do ridiculous things, not do good things."

The door of the west wing opened, and Mrs. Lu walked out in a thin shirt and a shawl on the outside, her hair was wet and scattered on her back, her cheeks were a little ruddy, and she was charming, like a gorgeous peony blooming in the wind and snow.

The weather was very cold in winter, and she walked out of the warm room just after bathing, and as soon as the cold wind blew, Mrs. Lu frowned and shrunk her neck slightly.

Seeing this, Xu Buling untied the white fox fur on his body and stepped forward and draped it on her shoulders. He is half a head taller than Mrs. Lu, and his fox fur is a little big, so he directly wraps it tightly.

Mrs. Lu tightened the fox fur on her body, and the warm warmth dispelled the cold air around her body, and her face was much better. She looked a little more dignified, and looked at Xu Buling, who was only wearing a white robe: "Don't catch a cold, let's go into the house." He turned and walked to the boudoir.

Xu Buling thought about it, shook his head helplessly, and followed into the house.

The boudoir of the annex is not big, the piano table, the painting case, the soft couch, the tea sea are placed in it, and behind the bead curtain is the embroidery bed, which is small and exquisite, and it is very warm with the stove.

The door was closed, Xu Buling looked left and right, sat down by the sea of tea, and skillfully soaked the dragon group Shengxue from South Vietnam.

Mrs. Lu untied the fox fur on her body, and sat down next to the soft couch in only a thin green skirt, with a bronze mirror, a comb, and jewelry next to her, she was about to pick up the comb, and suddenly frowned slightly, picked up the snow-white fox fur, and sniffed it closely, and her expression became serious.

Xu Buling fiddled with the tea set, slightly puzzled: "What's the matter, Aunt Lu?" ”

Mrs. Lu hugged the fox fur, leaned to the tip of her nose and sniffed it carefully: "Xianzhi Zhai's 'Moon Palace Gui', the fragrant powder of my daughter's ......"

“……”

Xu Buling's hand stiffened. In the past few days, I have often lifted Song Yufu high and thrown it out of the bell tower to threaten, but I just carried it with my hand, can I smell it?

Mrs. Lu pursed her lips slightly, and stared at Xu Buling seriously with apricot eyes: "The fragrance of Yuegong cinnamon is very light, and the price is expensive, generally only the official lady of the scholarly family will use it...... Who is this girl? ”

Xu Buling poured himself tea, a little helpless: "Aunt Lu, you still don't believe me?" It's just that I accidentally bumped into the female student of Wenquyuan, and I didn't go out to mess around. ”

"What are you talking about?"

Mrs. Lu's expression was serious, obviously a little angry, and she sat up a little straighter: "As the prince of the vassal king, how could I stop you from looking for a woman?" If you want a woman, tell me that I can find you any kind of woman......" He said, then turned his head and called:

"Moon Slave."

"Yes."

The moon slave who rushed back entered the room respectfully and bowed slightly.

"Send the son down to rest, you accompany you tonight, and follow the son in the future."

"No."

The moon slave bowed, walked slowly to Xu Buling, and stretched out his hand to help.

Xu Bu makes his scalp numb, if he lets Mrs. Lu install a spy to get along with him day and night, he won't want to do serious things in the future, he raised his hand and said:

"That's it, I didn't complain about Aunt Lu, I really just accidentally touched it, and I didn't have a girl I liked."

Mrs. Lu looked at it carefully for a long time, and when she saw that Xu Buling was not lying, she sighed faintly:

"No, I'm not stopping you from finding a woman. You are still young, and you have a long calamity to the country and the people are in a high position, as long as you are a woman in the world, there is no one who does not want to stick to you...... As the saying goes, 'the most poisonous woman's heart', in order to tempt you, those women outside do everything, you are still inexperienced and accidentally deceived, not only yourself, you will be the prince and king in the future, the allusion of the princes of the "beacon fire opera" and "the king of Shang", haven't you heard of it? . ”

"I know, take it as a warning."

Xu Buling chuckled, poured a cup of tea and walked over to him, and handed it to Mrs. Lu:

"Aunt Lu, drink tea and dissipate your anger."

Mrs. Lu pursed her lips, raised her hand to take the teacup, blew it gently, took a sip, sat sideways and turned her head, still a little resentful.

Xu Buling thought for a while, raised his hand and saluted: "Hmm...... Longyin Pavilion in Daye Fang, there is a chess game today, I went over to place a bet, so I won't bother Aunt Lu. ”

When Mrs. Lu heard this, she put down the teacup, picked up the fox fur, draped it on his back, and went around to the front again, tying the rope in front of the placket:

"Young people should be in the limelight, but your position is too high, and it is not harmful for you to hide yourself. King Su's military power is too heavy, and it is rumored in the market that 'the vassal king is plotting for unification', and the saint must have an idea......

…… Now the Manchu Dynasty civil and military have secretly spread that 'the saint wants to cut the domain', whether it is true or not, you must be cautious in your words and deeds, and you must not be too popular to attract jealousy. ”

Xu Buling smiled lightly: "I know." ”

Mrs. Lu patted his shirt: "You~ It's not easy to defile yourself?" The old scholars of the Literary Society love to be more serious, and the 'plagiarism' actions such as buying poems and copying poems are the most shameful for the literati......

…… You go and buy a good poem, buy the kind that can't be written with your experience, and in a few days the dragon chant poem will shine on it, and those rotten Confucians will definitely chase you hard. No matter how angry you are, you must have written it yourself, and your reputation will naturally be black......"

Maybe it's a good idea.

As a traveler, it is definitely not okay to ask him to write poems, and it is not easy to ask him to copy a good poem that he can't write to find scolding.

is only eighteen years old, and the sentence 'The old man talks about juvenile madness, the left leads the yellow, and the right Qingcang', and he knows that it is copied with the head of the lower body.

Xu Buling nodded, then chuckled and said, "Aunt Lu, don't worry, this time I will definitely let them scold me for a bloody head." ”

Mrs. Lu snorted: "Don't mess up again, if you are both civil and military, I'm afraid no one will not be afraid of you." After tidying up Xu Buling's clothes, he looked up and down carefully a few times before nodding with satisfaction: "Go ahead...... Don't drink flower wine. ”

Xu Buling was full of confidence, turned around and left the courtyard quickly......
