After eating the chicken, Cheng Biting Jin asked the maid to hug the old man Cheng Chubi, who was fighting with her eyelids, to rest, and then rushed Cheng Chumo and Cheng Chuliang to serve the old lady, and then invited Lu Ting to sit down and chat under the gazebo in the back garden, and the housekeeper Cheng Zhong had already prepared wine and food.

"Virtuous nephew, come, eat, drink, just be at home, if you are polite, it will be a raw point." Cheng Yanjin laughed a few times and ate first.

Before dawn, I have to go to the court, and now that it is past noon, a chicken must not be full, and it has to be added.

The family culture of the old Cheng family is a bit rough, but the demon king of the mixed world is not difficult to get along with, straightforward, refreshing, not so many shelves, in the words of later generations, very down-to-earth.

Lu Ting ate most of the chicken, drank some wine, was not hungry, and saw Cheng Yanjin so enthusiastic, hesitated, picked up chopsticks and ate with him.

After three rounds of wine and five tastes, Lu Ting looked left and right, and said, "The junior has a few words that I want to chat with Uncle Cheng privately, can you let these subordinates retreat first." ”

"It's okay, they are all old men from Cheng Mansion, they are loyal, just say anything you want." Cheng Biting Jin said with a grin.

Lu Ting lowered his head and smiled, but gently touched his wine glass and did not speak.

A hint of discoloration flashed in Cheng Yanjin's eyes, he just groaned, and quickly waved his hand: "There's nothing wrong here, you all retreat." ”

Just now, I saw that Lu Ting wanted to speak a few times and stopped, Cheng Yanjin told him something to tell him, so he sent his three sons away early, and after making a guarantee, Lu Ting still refused to say, there are two possibilities, one is that what he wants to say is really important; Another is to ask for something for yourself, and people are thin-skinned and difficult to speak.

"Lang Jun, this..."The guards on the side were a little hesitant, Lu Ting was too angry, he came to the door rashly, and he had to chat privately, what if he had bad intentions?

After Cheng Yanjin refused the prince's solicitation, he was sent to Connecticut as an assassin, and experienced several assassinations before and after, but fortunately, Fu Da had a great life, and every time he turned the danger into a disaster, he now takes guards wherever he goes.

"Go down." Cheng Yanjin saw the guard's concerns, and said with a nonchalant expression.

can sit in today's position, Cheng Biting Jin was exchanged for real combat exploits, and the person who came out of the corpse mountain and the sea of blood would still be afraid of a yellow-haired boy? I can pick people up with one hand, and I am full of confidence in my safety.

The two guards saluted, and quickly retreated to a distance of about five feet, and instead of leaving, they watched warily.

is not only staring at Lu Ting, but also not letting others approach.

Cheng Yanjin took a piece of tender venison and threw it into his mouth, and said unhurriedly: "Now there are no outsiders, nephew, you can talk about it." ”

What big deal can a yellow-haired boy have? You won't fancy any beautiful maid in the house, right?

His three sons lacked a string in their brains, and befriending the second child was nothing to Cheng Yanjin, if it weren't for Lu Ting's sake, he would have been kicked out of the door a long time ago.

Lu Ting looked left and right, lowered his voice and said, "Former Prince Zhongyun Wang Jue, does Uncle Cheng have an impression?" ”

Wang Jue? The chopsticks raised by Cheng Yanjin paused, with a solemn look on his face, and he said while holding vegetables: "Wang Shujie is also a figure in Chang'an, of course I know him, continue." ”

Lu Ting briefly said the process of getting to know Wang Jue, and skipped the process of persuasion and the result of the conversation between the two, and then said with a serious face: "Uncle Wang asked the junior to bring a few words to the King of Qin, and repeatedly told him to see the King of Qin, the younger generation went to Chang'an for the first time, and he was not familiar with the place, and he went to the Qin Wangfu just now, and he couldn't see the King of Qin, so he really couldn't help it, and he remembered Brother Liang at the place where he met in the Qingshi Station, so he took the liberty to come here, and he wanted to ask Uncle Cheng for a recommendation." ”

"What? Wang Jue's stinky stone asked you to bring a message to the prince? Cheng Yanjin's face finally changed, and there was a hint of excitement in his voice.

Wang Qi was the core of the prince's mansion, he and Wei Zheng were the most powerful thinkers around the prince Li Jiancheng, and they knew the prince's mansion well, and the king of Qin had failed to recruit him many times, and he would rather be a scapegoat and exiled to Yuezhou than give in, but he didn't expect that he would ask someone to take the initiative to show favor to the king of Qin.

The prince's mansion and the Qin Wangfu are now in full swing, the Qin king returned with a big victory, temporarily forming a balanced state with the prince who is deeply favored by His Majesty, after a few days to dilute this victory, this balance will soon be broken, if there is more Wang Jue this variable, the Qin Wangfu will definitely be beneficial and harmless.

Cheng Yanjin put down his chopsticks and said with a serious face: "Virtuous nephew, you can't talk about this matter, otherwise, the old man won't be able to protect you if something happens." ”

Lu Ting nodded: "Uncle Cheng rest assured, the stakes are very high, this matter is true, if there is half a lie, let Uncle Cheng and the prince deal with it." ”

"The stakes are very high, the old man will go out immediately, and you can stay here and wait with peace of mind." Cheng Yanjin knew that the situation was serious, and said decisively.

No wonder when I came back, I saw two people sneaking in front of my house, and those two people Cheng Yanjin recognized them as King Qin's personal guards, and I was still wondering in my heart at the time, thinking that King Qin was going to spy on me, so I pretended not to see it and entered the mansion by myself.

He was loyal to King Qin, and he was not afraid of surveillance, but he didn't expect it to be attracted by Lu Ting.

Wang Jue is too critical, he would rather believe that he has it than believe that he does not, and this matter must be reported to the prince immediately.

"It's all up to Uncle Cheng's orders."

Cheng Yanjin is a loyal supporter of Li Er, and it must be no problem to hand over this matter to him, what he can do now is to wait.

"Very good" Cheng Yanjin thought about it, beckoned Cheng Zhong over, gave a few commands, and then went out non-stop.

After Cheng Biting Jin left, the chief butler Cheng Zhong saluted Lu Ting and said: "Master Lu, Lang Jun has ordered, the prince may meet the prince in a while, the little old man sees that the son is a little tired, and some wine is spilled on his clothes, why don't you go to the bath and change clothes first, okay?" ”

"Steward Cheng, I didn't bring spare clothes." Lu Ting said with some embarrassment.

Ancient people were very particular about etiquette, bathing and changing clothes before meeting important guests, and maintaining grooming was a sign of respect for each other, such as receiving holy decrees, sacrificing these, and burning incense and bathing, but they did not bring their own clothes.

Cheng Zhong looked at Lu Ting and said, "Lu Gongzi and the second son are similar in shape, and there are a few sets of clothes that the second son has not worn in the house, so you can put them on first." ”

Speaking of this, Lu Ting nodded, under Cheng Zhong's arrangement, bathing in a guest room, and taking a hot bath in a large bathtub with dried flowers in winter, it is definitely a beautiful thing, a little embarrassing is that four maids came as soon as they started washing, and they didn't ask, they washed their hair, brushed their bodies, picked their ears, and cut their nails without saying anything.

Half an hour later, Lu Ting looked at his new self in the bronze mirror, and secretly sighed in his heart that the dignitaries would enjoy it, and there were four maidservants waiting for him in a bath, and the whole person was refreshed after washing.

The clothes are brand new, the material is made of high-quality Suzhou silk, it fits very well, and it is scalded with a fire bucket, as if it is tailor-made for himself, if you guess correctly, when you are bathing, someone takes your own clothes to measure the size, and then takes a finished shirt of about the same size to go for minor repairs.

As soon as he went out, he saw Cheng Chuliang pulling his younger brother Cheng Chubi to lean on the pillar of the corridor and look at him, glanced at him, nodded and said, "Not bad, not bad, it looks dignified." ”

Lu Ting said a little embarrassedly: "Brother Chu Liang smiled, and borrowed a new set of clothes from you." ”

"New clothes? Me? Cheng Chuliang was stunned for a moment, and quickly waved his hand and said, "No, no, no, this is not my clothes, Brother Lu doesn't need to take it to heart." ”

"But Steward Cheng said that Brother Chu Liang's body is similar to mine, and he wants to borrow your clothes."

Cheng Chubi clapped his hands and said, "Ranger chicken, you are so stupid, Uncle Cheng lied to you." ”

"Lie to me? Why? Lu Ting asked with some surprise.

Afraid that you will be embarrassed and give yourself a good lie?

"No, Aya said that when a person with a face enters the house, it is not easy to search his body, coax him to take a bath, and everything is clear." Cheng Chubi said as if to invite merit.

No wonder the four maids just now combed their hair and picked their ears, after they tossed like that, they couldn't hide any weapons and hidden weapons, Cheng Demon King confessed a few words before leaving, and it is estimated that he would let the housekeeper do this, after all, he was to see Li Er in his house, safety should be put first, if something happened, he couldn't afford it, and when he met, he searched his whole body, and he was afraid that it would cool his heart, so he used the method of bathing.

There is no one else in this mind.

"Ahem, cough, cough..."There were suddenly a few dry coughs next to him, and when he turned his head, he saw that the old housekeeper of Cheng Mansion was coughing a little embarrassed, looking at Cheng Chubi's eyes, and complaining.

As a housekeeper in Cheng Mansion, it's really difficult to do it if his heart is not strong, no, the second son is so frank that it is embarrassing, and the third son openly dismantles his family's platform......

"Uncle Cheng, are you okay?" Cheng Chubi asked with a concerned face.

"It's okay, it's okay, Xie Sangongzi cares" Cheng Zhong finished with a wry smile, turned his head as if nothing had happened just now, and made a gesture of invitation to Lu Ting: "Lu Gongzi, please here, the distinguished guest you want to see has arrived." ”
